On the donkey cart, a large white goose poked its head out, trying to sneak a peek.

"Gah!"

Seeing the fat goose staring straight at it, the big white goose shuddered in fright. Then, with a burst of strength, a large goose egg fell out of its rear end.

The goose egg rolled and tumbled, and looked like it was about to fall off the donkey cart.

Big Fatty's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward, catching the falling goose egg in his mouth.

Taking a bite, it thoroughly enjoyed the fishy smell of the raw goose egg.

"Meow~"

It couldn't resist licking its paws, then curiously climbed onto the donkey cart and sniffed the white goose's rear end.

"Gah... Gah gah!"

The white goose didn't dare to move at all.

It trembled slightly and looked at Lu Fangfang as if pleading for help.

"Big Fatty! This is my family's goose. Don't scare it, or there won't be any goose eggs left to eat. Come back quickly."

Lu Fangfang was both amused and exasperated, and quickly waved her hand.

This time, the big white goose seemed genuinely frightened; she saw it trembling so badly it looked like... well, you know.

"Meow~"

Big Fatty waited a while longer, but when no new goose eggs came out, he turned around and went back disappointed.

"How could it be so fast? A white goose only lays one egg every two or three days."

Lu Fangfang smiled and touched it again.

Together with Xiuxiu, the two of them carefully groomed the fur on Da Pang's body.

Xiuxiu carefully put the plucked fur into her bag.

Big Fatty lay on the grass and yawned boredly.

It nuzzled against Xiaohua for a while, then looked at Lu Fangfang.

Tilting its head, it stared curiously at Lu Fangfang's belly.

Its two short ears twitched, as if it had heard something, and it grinned.

Lu Fangfang had just felt the baby in her belly kick her when she noticed Da Pang's expression.

A thought struck her, and she felt a strange sense of wonder.

"Fatty, did you hear something?"

"Meow~"

Big Fatty grinned and let out a shout.

Lu Fangfang couldn't understand what it was saying, but she still smiled.

She stroked Big Fatty's head and groomed its fur.

After a long while, a sound suddenly came from Big Fat's belly.

It lazily got up and looked at the plump marmots on the grass in the distance.

The goose and duck eggs it ate before were just enough to fill its stomach; it wasn't full.

"Are you hungry? Let's go."

Lu Fangfang lowered her head, touched the big, fat, furry head with hers, took a deep breath, and then smiled as she let go.

Big Fatty no longer hesitated.

It got up and immediately ran forward, lowering its head to nibble on the food.

"Fatty, we'll be going now. We'll come back to see you again next time."

Lu Fangfang didn't want to see anything too gory.

She called Xiuxiu back to the donkey cart, intending to go to the birch forest to the west to collect birch sap.

It's springtime now, the time when birch trees have the most sap. Since we've come all this way, we can't miss it.

Xiuxiu was carrying a bulging bag, which was full of the large, fat fur that had been cleaned out.

She was in a pretty good mood once she got on the donkey cart.

"Meow~"

On the grass nearby, Xiaohua glanced at Lu Fangfang, then looked back at Da Pang, and hesitated for a moment.

"Little Flower, you play with Big Fatty for now, but don't forget to come home tonight."

Lu Fangfang didn't intend to let Xiao Hua leave. She glanced at Xiao Hua, patted the little wild donkey, and set off for the birch forest.

The big white goose on the donkey cart stopped shaking only after the fat man had disappeared from sight.

"Giggle~"

As if it had been wronged, it stretched out its long neck and barked at Lu Fangfang.

"Oh, alright, you came all this way, so don't blame me. Besides, Fatty didn't mean any harm."

As Lu Fangfang spoke, she took out a handful of crushed corn from her pocket and placed it in front of the big white goose.

"Giggle~"

The white goose, no longer bothered with its anger, quickly lowered its head and began pecking.

Hearing the noise ahead, the little wild donkey hurriedly turned around to look and slowed down its pace.

"Oh...ah..."

"You gluttonous donkey, I can't forget you."

Lu Fangfang was already prepared. She took out a handful of crushed corn and handed it to Xiuxiu, asking her to feed it to the little wild donkey.

With a mouthful of crushed corn, the little wild donkey wagged its tail and started pulling the cart again.

"These two gluttonous little devils are easy to coax."

Lu Fangfang muttered to herself.

Soon, the little wild donkey pulled the donkey cart to the lake.

At this moment, the water in the lake looked a little lower, and there were some unidentified water birds on the surface.

She pulled a slingshot out of her pocket, held the pellet, and was about to shoot a water bird when she heard two "caw caws".

The big white goose spread its wings and excitedly plunged into the lake.

"Chirp chirp~"

"Chirp chirp~"

Its commotion was so great that all the water birds on the lake took flight.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang could only regretfully let go of his hand.

"Sis, I'm going to get the birch sap."

Xiuxiu had already seen the large birch forest downstream. She picked up three or four water jugs and jumped off the donkey cart.

"Slow down, the forest is still wet even though it's thawed."

"knew."

As Lu Fangfang watched Xiuxiu walk away, she called out to Little Tibetan Fox and slowly walked to the lakeside.

At this moment, the white goose is swimming excitedly in the lake.

It would occasionally plunge into the water, then surface again three or four meters above the surface.

It's clear that it prefers staying in the water to the grassland.

"This guy, doesn't he mind that the water is cold?"

Lu Fangfang scooped up a handful of water, washed her face, and then walked along the shore.

There are still many gold nuggets in the lake, but she can't pan for them now.

After watching for a while, she went to the birch forest downstream.

Xiuxiu was drinking birch sap in large gulps, holding a water bottle. When she saw her sister arrive, she immediately took a new water bottle from the tree and handed it to her.

"Sister, you should try this. The birch sap here is sweeter than the one in our residential compound."

Lu Fangfang raised her glass, took a small sip, and then nodded.

Xiuxiu is right, the birch sap collected from this birch forest is indeed sweeter.

She tilted her head back and drank all the birch sap from the kettle, then tied it back to the tree to catch more.

After a while, she took a full jug of birch sap and went outside.

"Little stubborn donkey, come here."

The little wild donkey was idly munching on dry grass.

Upon hearing Lu Fangfang's words, it immediately grinned, wagged its little tail, and excitedly walked over.

"Wow! You're really smart! You knew there was good food to eat."

Lu Fangfang smiled and stroked it, then poured some birch sap from the kettle into her palm.

The little wild donkey's eyes lit up, and it immediately lowered its head to lick the food.
