Chapter 548 A Trip with Little Flower and the Little Wild Donkey (Part 1)

With the move to the military compound in the city imminent, Lu Fangfang had no interest in anything else.

She spent a few days settling things at the farm, and then spent her days riding her little wild donkey, with her pet dog and her little yellow dog, indulging in the vast grasslands.

After playing around the residential compound for a few days, she decided to take the two little ones to see some places further away.

Dan'er and Qingqing are still young, and the little yellow dog has children to take care of, so Lu Fangfang didn't bring them this time.

On a bright, sunny day, she set off with her rifle on her back and her homemade sleeping bag in tow.

During her journey, she encountered herders and stayed in their tents.

If she couldn't find them, she would spend the night in the wilderness. With Little Flower and Little Wild Donkey around, she wasn't afraid.

Xiao Hua's fur was very thick, and Lu Fangfang would hug it to keep warm at night, which was very comfortable.

As for food, it was simple, relying entirely on Xiaohua and the gun in her hand.

Traveling south, she, Xiaohua, and Xiaoyelu spent several days before finally reaching the border of Haibei.

A lake, as large as the sea, appeared before them.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey stared blankly, completely mesmerized.

Beside her, Xiaohua had the same expression.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a large lake.

"Meow~"

Little Flower ran to the lakeside, took a sip of water, and then spat it out.

Seeing this, the little wild donkey also curiously stepped forward and took a sip.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey spat out the water and quickly chewed on some dry grass on the bank.

"You two silly children, the water in this lake is all saltwater, you can't drink it."

Lu Fangfang stepped forward and touched the little flower and the little wild donkey.

Looking at the beautiful Qinghai Lake, she was deeply moved.

She placed the sheepskin on the ground, sat on it, and admired the breathtaking sunset.

Little Flower and Little Wild Donkey lay on either side of her, quietly gazing at the lake.

"Little Flower, Little Stubborn Donkey, let's not leave today, how about we sleep here?"

"Oh...ah..."

"Meow~"

Soon, it got dark.

Lu Fangfang found some wild grass, managed to roast the remaining rock goat meat, and boiled some water.

After eating and drinking her fill, she lay down in her sleeping bag and snuggled up to Xiaohua.

In particular, her head buried itself directly into Xiaohua's arms.

"Meow~"

Little Flower stretched out its long tail, letting Lu Fangfang rest her head on it, using its whole body to warm her.

Now, it is Lu Fangfang's support.

The little wild donkey lay on the other side, and together with Xiaohua, they protected Lu Fangfang in the middle.

With those two big, fleshy mountains around, she didn't feel cold at all.

Lu Fangfang woke up in the early hours of the morning.

She peeked out from under the little flower and looked up at the sky.

There was no pollution in this era, and the stars in the sky were clearly visible. She felt very close to the stars, as if she were sleeping in the Milky Way.

"Meow~"

Xiaohua also woke up.

It licked Lu Fangfang's hair a few times, then shielded her beneath its body.

When Lu Fangfang woke up again, it was already dawn.

She gathered some dry grass, boiled water, and watched the sunrise with Little Flower and Little Wild Donkey.

The lake had thawed by then, and not long after the sun came out, small boats were seen rowing into the lake to catch fish.

Lu Fangfang led the little ones to the lakeside and gazed at them curiously.

In those days, the sturgeon in Qinghai Lake could not be caught without permission.

Many people suffering from famine rely on Huangyu (a type of fish) to supplement their nutrition. She had bought Huangyu at the market before, and it tasted good.

After watching for a while, she noticed that the fishermen on the boat were having a good catch, managing to catch a lot of fish every time they hauled in their nets.

After a while, seeing that the fishing boat was about to dock, she told Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox to stay where they were and she quickly walked over.
