"Meow~"

"Meow~"

Lu Fangfang was kneeling on the hillside, searching for cordyceps, when she heard a cat meow.

"Wait, where would a cat come from on a snowy mountain?"

She immediately drew the dagger from her waist and quickly stood up.

"Hey sis, what's wrong?"

Not far away, Wang Shufen also became alert.

"Meow~"

"kitten?"

Hearing the familiar meow, Wang Shufen was also taken aback.

"Sister Shufen, it's not a cat."

Lu Fangfang strode up to Wang Shufen and stood with her back to back.

Looking around, she followed the sound and quickly found the source of the meowing; her hair stood on end instantly.

Not far from her, a snow leopard was meowing, and there was a trace of blood on its hind leg.

Lu Fangfang tensed up instantly. She tugged at Wang Shufen behind her, signaling that something was wrong.

This thing sounds like a cat and looks quite cute, but it's a ferocious wild animal, especially if it's injured, so be extra careful.

"My goodness, isn't this the same big cat from yesterday? Why is it here again?"

Wang Shufen quickly pulled out a dagger and made a fierce face.

"Meow~ Meow~"

The snow leopard licked its hind paws, kept howling, and occasionally glanced at the two of them.

Seeing this situation, Lu Fangfang felt a little reluctant.

She looked back and saw that the soldiers down the mountain were almost up.

There are many sharpshooters in the group, and there are no wildlife protection laws in this era. Once we encounter it, this snow leopard will definitely not be able to escape.

"Let's go, let's go quickly, don't go down the mountain anymore."

Lu Fangfang finally couldn't hold back and waved at the snow leopard, shouting a few times.

"Girl, what are you saying to it? It doesn't understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, the snow leopard dragged its injured leg and quickly ran up the snow mountain.

Wang Shufen: "..."

"Sister Shufen, am I being too compassionate? Should I not have called it that?"

Wang Shufen scratched her head. She didn't understand the words, but she understood what her sister meant.

Looking up at the snow leopard's retreating figure, she murmured, "It's a sentient being, girl, don't overthink it."

"Hmph."

Lu Fangfang shook her head. She knew that she wasn't usually this kind-hearted; she was just attracted to the woman's good looks.

If it were a wolf, she might even shoot it.

"How hypocritical!"

She felt slightly relieved after making a self-criticism.

Sister Shufen was right. This snow leopard seems to be intelligent. In these two encounters, the snow leopard did not intend to harm her or Sister Shufen, so there is no need to worry too much in the future.

Lu Fangfang looked up until the snow leopard was out of sight before preparing to continue digging for caterpillar fungus.

By this time, the soldiers of the Second Battalion had also climbed up.

"Hey? Sister-in-law Shufen? Comrade Xiao Lu? What are you doing here?"

Xu Jinbu, leading a group of soldiers, was quite surprised to see the two men.

He adjusted his glasses and strode over with a smile.

"Battalion Commander Xu, Sister Shufen and I have nothing to do, so we came to dig some cordyceps."

Xu Jinbu glanced at the bags on the two of them and then exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Lu, digging for caterpillar fungus is hard work. You two are really amazing."

"Xiao Liu, take a few people here and help your wife dig for caterpillar fungus."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fangfang quickly waved her hands, "No need, no need, Battalion Commander Xu, we can dig it ourselves."

She didn't have the nerve to ask the soldiers in her unit to dig up caterpillar fungus for her.

If she really did that, wouldn't she become part of the exploiting class? She always felt that this Xu guy had ill intentions.

Beside her, Wang Shufen nodded, "Battalion Commander Xu, you go do your own thing, my sister and I don't need your help."

"Well... okay, by the way, sister-in-law, Comrade Xiao Lu, have you seen a snow leopard on the mountain? A snow leopard ran up the mountain, you have to be careful."

Wang Shufen quickly shook her head, "I didn't see it."

Lu Fangfang glanced at Sister Shufen in surprise, then remained silent.

Just as Xu Jinbu was about to ask something else, he suddenly heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw Xiao Ting climbing up.

Xu Jinbu quickly went to Xiao Ting's side and helped her up.

"Tingting, why did you come up here? The valley is so beautiful. You could have just enjoyed the scenery from down here. You're a medic in our Second Battalion now, which is different from before. Don't worry, that snow leopard definitely won't get away."

"Are you done talking? I haven't even agreed to marry you yet, so leave me alone!"

Xiao Ting didn't give Xu Jinbu a friendly look.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned her head to see Lu Fangfang and Wang Shufen.

...

"unlucky!"

Lu Fangfang also saw Xiao Ting and couldn't help but curse under her breath.

To run into this woman even after running all the way up the snowy mountain, what bad luck!

She subconsciously glanced at Xiao Ting and felt that she had lost a lot of weight compared to half a month ago, making her cheekbones appear even higher.

"Tingting, your sister-in-law and Xiao Lu are digging for caterpillar fungus here."

Xu Jinbu turned around and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Comrade Xiao Lu, Tingting and I are getting married next month. You must come to attend."

"Xu Jinbu, who wants to marry you? You should look in the mirror and see yourself. Don't flatter yourself."

Xiao Ting snorted softly, looking disgusted.

Even with her thick skin, Xu Jinbu felt her face burning in front of everyone.

That's incredibly disrespectful; it's downright humiliating.

Xu Jinbu adjusted his glasses, coughed lightly, then turned around and shouted, "Everyone, continue searching for the snow leopard! Tingting, shall we go too?"
