Chapter 507 Riding a Little Wild Donkey to Distant Places

"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, follow along."

Lu Fangfang rode her little wild donkey past the two little ones like a gust of wind.

"Awoo~"

"Meow~"

Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox's eyes lit up.

They forgot all about hunting pikas and hurriedly chased after the little wild donkey.

"Giddy up!"

"Giddy up!"

Lu Fangfang rode her little wild donkey and didn't stop when she reached the river; instead, she sped up even more.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey raised its head and brayed, then waded across the river to the other side.

Behind them, Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox stopped in front of the river and called out loudly.

"Awoo~"

"Meow~"

Lu Fangfang turned around and looked back, laughing uncontrollably.

The advantage of the wild donkey's long legs is evident here.

Holding onto the reins, she didn't stop and ran straight to the territory of the Sixth Team.

She glanced at the horse pen at the village entrance and, seeing no horses inside, pulled on the reins, causing the little wild donkey to turn a corner and continue running north.

"Giddy up!"

"Giddy up!"

"Squeak~"

On the donkey's head, the little weasel gripped the wild donkey's mane tightly, its entire body pressed against the donkey's head.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang quickly tugged on the reins, slowing the little wild donkey down.

...

At Tuboling, a mother Tibetan fox is teaching her five cubs hunting techniques.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, it looked up curiously.

Seeing that it was a familiar two-legged creature, it didn't pay any attention and continued teaching the five children.

Lu Fangfang rode on the back of the little wild donkey and circled around them a few times.

I never imagined that my five adorable little yellow dogs would grow up so big. It seems that in a little while, they will be able to live on their own.

Just as she was about to watch a little longer, she saw the mother Tibetan fox roar angrily at her.

"Awoo~"

"Awoo~"

Lu Fangfang realized that she had disturbed them.

She smiled apologetically, then pulled the little wild donkey along and continued heading northeast.

...

On the barren grassland, the cat overlord was lying on a rock, leisurely basking in the sun.

Its two little ears twitched, and it jumped up.

Seeing that the person who came was the familiar Lu Fangfang, it lazily lay down again.

"Hello, Cat King."

Lu Fangfang lowered her body, quickly reached out and touched the mother Pallas's cat, then laughed and rode away on the little wild donkey.

"Meow~"

The mother Pallas's cat watched the departing man and donkey, bellowing angrily.

Lu Fangfang was overjoyed.

She finally managed to touch the little tiger. She then pulled the little wild donkey to look at the groundhogs, and then ran back to the pasture in front of the farm.

Bored, Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox excitedly followed behind Little Wild Donkey.

After running a large circle on the grassland, seeing that Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox were tired, she pulled on the reins and made the little wild donkey walk slowly.

"Whoa~"

At this moment, a gentle breeze caresses your face, and the grassland is filled with the scent of fresh grass.

Lu Fangfang straightened up, slowly closed her eyes, and then opened her arms.

Ahead, the little weasel, just like her, stood up straight and looked curiously in the direction of the training ground.

As if it had discovered something, it jumped off the donkey's head and then quickly ran back into the cave.

"Clatter, clatter~"

"Ouch, who is it?"

Lu Fangfang felt her body lift into the air and be held in someone's arms.

She opened her eyes in a panic and saw that it was none other than her own husband.

"Let me go! There are so many people here."

Lu Fangfang blushed slightly and quickly stood up and sat on the horse.

Zhuang Mingcheng looked at his wife, still a little angry, "It's not the due date yet, why are you out here? And riding so fast, aren't you afraid of getting blown by the wind?"

"I...I was so bored."

Lu Fangfang muttered to herself.

"You can't ride that fast, or you'll develop health problems later."

Zhuang Mingcheng leaned closer and sniffed, discovering that his wife had washed her hair.

He sighed and could only helplessly hug his wife.

"By the way, the baby is almost a month old, and I'm thinking of having a full-month celebration. It just so happens that Lao Gao and some people from the regiment are going to the division headquarters, so I'll invite them to have a meal together."

"I have no objection to this, but we're out of things at home, so you'll have to go and buy some."

"Okay, I'll go to the county in a couple of days and buy some more."

Zhuang Mingcheng held his wife tightly and wouldn't let go.

The two rode their horses and slowly walked across the grassland.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey turned its head to look and immediately became unhappy.

It moved closer to the chestnut horse and kept nudging Zhuang Mingcheng.

"Go away, go away, we're discussing serious matters, you stubborn little donkey, stop causing trouble here."

Zhuang Mingcheng glared at the little wild donkey.

After talking with his wife for a while, he personally rode his horse to take his wife and child back to the family compound.

The little wild donkey snorted and could only nibble on the grass listlessly.

...

A few days later.

Lu Fangfang prepared a table of dishes at home, and at noon, she invited some close relatives and friends over to celebrate the baby's one-month birthday.

Gao Dajiang was about to leave for the division, and he was still a little reluctant to leave the regiment. He was quite sentimental and had drunk a bit too much.

The other military officers didn't share that sentiment; they were all beaming with joy as they talked about life in their new units.

The conditions were much better when we were stationed along the train line in the city than in the regiment.

"Xiao Lu, you must run the breeding farm in the regiment well. If you have the opportunity in the future, open a branch farm in the division. Don't limit yourself to Qilian."

Before leaving, Gao Dajiang gave him a few more instructions.
