Chapter 522 Little Flower Returns, White-lipped Deer

"Mom, my sister is back! My sister is back..."

The family was eating when Qingqing suddenly put down her spoon and stood up excitedly.

She clapped her hands and was about to run outside.

Lu Fangfang put down her chopsticks and hugged her daughter tightly. "Xiaohua's back? Where have you been?"

She looked around the yard with some suspicion, but saw no movement.

Turning his head to look at the little wild donkey and the little Tibetan fox, the two little guys were intently licking the snow chicken soup, and there was nothing unusual about them.

"Mom, my sister really came."

Qingqing looked outside with bright, sparkling eyes, her face beaming with happiness and revealing two dimples.

"Fangfang, take Qingqing out for a look."

Zhuang Mingcheng actually believed his daughter's words.

The little wild donkey and the little Tibetan fox can greet them in the morning, so maybe Little Flower is really coming soon.

Lu Fangfang picked up her daughter and walked curiously into the yard.

At this moment, the big white goose, along with the big gray goose and the little gray goose, lay together, appearing somewhat restless.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the sound of someone climbing over the east wall came from there.

Lu Fangfang turned her head and looked over, exclaiming in surprise, "Xiaohua?"

"Sister~"

"Sister~"

Qingqing clapped her hands and shouted excitedly.

On the wall, two eyes gleaming green looked down at the two people in the courtyard.

It grinned happily, and a fawn fell into the yard.

Hearing the commotion, Zhuang Mingcheng, along with the little Tibetan fox and the little wild donkey, ran out of the house.

Seeing Xiao Hua's mouth full of blood, the little wild donkey shuddered and hid behind Zhuang Mingcheng.

"Meow~"

Little Flower excitedly looked up and shouted, then jumped into the yard.

"Sister, sister, I miss you so much."

Qingqing excitedly ran to Xiaohua and hugged her.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua opened her blood-red mouth, about to lick Qing Qing, when Lu Fangfang stopped her.

She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and hurriedly wiped the blood from Xiaohua's mouth.

Xiao Hua grinned and licked Lu Fangfang.

"Smack!"

"Be good."

"Hmph, at least you have a conscience this time, you still know we're back."

Lu Fangfang rubbed her eyes, still feeling touched.

"Meow~"

Little Flower stretched out its fluffy head and kept nuzzling against her.

"Little Flower, where's Big Fatty? Is Big Fatty with you?"

Lu Fangfang looked up at the top of the wall, but after waiting for a while, there was still no movement.

She was slightly disappointed. It seemed that Big Fatty was still quite wary of human society and wouldn't come over easily.

"Meow~"

Little Flower, slightly out of breath, tilted her head back and shouted.

On the grassland a few hundred meters northeast of the family compound, a chubby snow leopard twitched its two short ears.

As if it had heard something, it turned around and ran confidently toward the snow-capped mountains to the north.

...

"Xiaohua, what did you bring back today?"

Zhuang Mingcheng rubbed Xiaohua's big head, then took the flashlight and shone it on the corpse on the ground.

"Is this a fawn?"

"It should be a white-lipped deer."

Lu Fangfang was also quite surprised to see the white fur around the deer's mouth.

In later generations, the white-lipped deer would be a first-class protected animal, even more precious than the Tibetan fox, which is a second-class protected animal.

Fortunately, snow leopards are also a Class I protected animal, so killing one isn't a big deal.

In order not to waste food, she decided to try the venison tonight.

Rubbing Xiaohua's head, she called everyone to go inside.

At this moment, Qingqing lay her whole body on Xiaohua and was carried into the house by Xiaohua.

Lu Fangfang took out the small basin that Xiaohua used and ladled it a full of snow chicken soup.

"Xiaohua, drink up, I just brewed it."

"Meow~"

Xiao Hua was tired after running all the way here.

It lowered its head, opened its mouth, and began to lick.

Lu Fangfang smiled and watched it for a while before walking back into the yard to prepare to tidy up the white-lipped deer.

At this moment, the white-lipped deer had already been hoisted up by Zhuang Mingcheng.

He was holding an enamel mug, catching something in it.

Lu Fangfang leaned closer and realized that he had taken deer blood. "Mingcheng, how do you eat deer blood?"

"Ahem, I'll eat this myself."

Zhuang Mingcheng took the bag for a while longer, and seeing that the deer had stopped dripping, he took it into the inner room.

He poured boiling water over it, blew on it, and then drank it.

"Alas!"

Lu Fangfang could smell the blood in the enamel mug; her husband really could drink that.

Suddenly something occurred to her, and she blushed and spat.

She stripped off the deer skin, took out the internal organs, and threw them to Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox.

She cut the venison into several pieces and soaked them in a basin.

Seeing a tender piece of meat, she simply sliced ​​several plates of it into thin slices, and then had her husband start washing the copper pot.

This was brought back from the capital. It's an old item she found at a trust store. She liked it, so she brought it back to use in hot pot.

After scrubbing the copper pot clean, Lu Fangfang poured the stewed snow chicken soup into the pot.

After the pot boiled, the family gathered around it and started cooking the tender venison.

"Girl, stop hugging Xiaohua and come try some venison."

"Venom? Is it the meat of a fawn?"

Qingqing let go of Xiaohua's big head, then, with her short legs, she ran over.

"Yes, it's venison. Open your mouth, ah..."

Lu Fangfang blew on the venison and put it into her daughter's mouth.

She cooked a few more pieces and tasted them.

Venison is usually quite lean, and the one Xiaohua caught had absolutely no fat.
