"Squeak..."
Lu Fangfang was sitting opposite the stubborn donkey when she suddenly heard the squirrel's cry behind her.
After looking around for a while, she spotted the little squirrel in a spruce tree.
She pulled out the slingshot she had made from a valve stem a couple of days ago, pinched the pellet, pulled it open forcefully, and then let go.
"Whoosh."
"Squeak~"
The bullet hit the squirrel accurately, it let out a scream, swayed, and fell to the ground.
"Stubborn mule, I'll deal with you later."
"Xiaohua, keep an eye on that stubborn donkey here."
Lu Fangfang walked into the woods and picked up a squirrel from the ground.
Because it was shot with a slingshot, the squirrel's pelt was intact, which means it can be sold for more money.
She carried a squirrel and a slingshot, and wandered around the woods for a while.
After a while, when she returned, she was carrying two more squirrels.
...
"Meow~"
"Oh...ah...ah..."
The leopard and the donkey stared at each other and shouted.
When Lu Fangfang returned and saw this scene, she had a headache again.
Looking around, she tied the three squirrels together with a vine, threw them onto the stubborn donkey's back, then grabbed the donkey's clothes by the neck and pulled him forward.
"Oh...ah..."
The stubborn donkey was still arguing with her, so Lu Fangfang quickly plucked a handful of tender grass and put it to the little wild donkey's mouth.
The little wild donkey immediately stopped braying.
It sniffed the grass, opened its mouth, and was about to eat when Lu Fangfang, holding the tender grass, quickly took two steps forward.
Upon seeing this, the little wild donkey immediately stepped forward.
"If you try to lead it, it won't move; if you try to hit it, it will retreat. We've finally found a way."
Lu Fangfang breathed a sigh of relief.
She held a blade of grass and led the wild donkey slowly forward. She didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear of tripping the donkey's leg.
The little wild donkey, perhaps lacking a screw in its head, limped along, chasing after grass relentlessly until it could reach it.
"Stubborn donkey, really stubborn donkey."
Halfway there, Lu Fangfang picked up the air gun she had thrown away earlier.
Things from that era were of good quality, and the air gun was fine. She fired one shot, and the accuracy was quite good, so she put it back on her shoulder.
Only when they reached the birch forest did Lu Fangfang give the wild grass in her hand to the stubborn donkey.
The military water bottle hanging on the birch tree was already half full of birch sap.
She untied the bottle and took a big gulp, feeling refreshed all over, and even the pain in her arm subsided.
"Meow~"
Little Flower took a few steps and looked up at her.
Lu Fangfang took another big gulp, then took the water bottle, poured some birch sap into her palm, and fed it to Xiaohua.
She glanced at the little wild donkey and then held her palm up to its mouth.
"Don't bite me, or I'll kill you and eat you."
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey sniffed it, knew it was good stuff, and immediately stuck out its tongue to lick it.
Seeing its thirsty appearance, Lu Fangfang thought of a good idea.
There was no need to weed anymore; she simply poured some birch sap into her hand, enticing the little wild donkey to continue walking.
That's a good method. Stubborn donkey is stubborn donkey, it's a bit slow on the uptake. Seeing that it couldn't get the birch sap, it got anxious and walked too fast, almost tripping itself.
Lu Fangfang hurriedly untied the hemp rope from the stubborn donkey's legs, and her speed increased dramatically.
A man, a donkey, and a leopard—three unique individuals—walk across the grasslands.
The way back was quite far. She had only gone halfway when it got dark, so Lu Fangfang had to walk towards the family compound in the dark.
Late at night, the grassland was filled with the sounds of insects and animals, and green eyes would occasionally appear in the distance. The little wild donkey was frightened and became extremely obedient.
Let alone the little wild donkey, even Lu Fangfang was scared just looking at it.
"Little Flower?"
"Meow~"
Little Flower followed behind the little wild donkey and called out.
It's a nocturnal animal with excellent eyesight; it can see things just as well as during the day.
Looking at the little flower's glowing green eyes, Lu Fangfang felt slightly relieved. With this little guy around, she could be prepared if anything else approached.
She didn't say anything more after that, and silently led the little wild donkey on her way.
Just as we were about to reach the dirt road to the south, a sharp, animal cry suddenly rang out in the distance.
"Ah...ah..."
Lu Fangfang shuddered, startled by the scream.
Her heart was pounding rapidly. She looked around and spotted two glowing eyes in the direction of Tubo Ridge to the east.
Ugh, she's all too familiar with that damned thing's cry.
She took the air gun off her back, loaded it with lead bullets by the moonlight, and aimed at the glowing eyes in the distance.
"Smack."
"ah……"
A groundhog let out a scream, followed by an instant silence.
Lu Fangfang guessed that she had probably hit it, but groundhogs have thick skin and flesh, so at such a distance, it wouldn't be fatal to them, at most it would hurt a little.
She breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward, leading the wild donkey.
After a while, by the time she arrived at the family compound, it was almost 8 p.m.
Leading the wild donkey, she groped her way to her house in the dark, then hurriedly pushed open the door and went inside.
"Comrade Zhou? Comrade Zhou?"
She shouted twice, but there was no response from inside the house. Lu Fangfang found a piece of hemp rope, tied the little wild donkey to the yard, and then quickly walked into the house.
She had walked for more than six hours, and her yellow rubber shoes were almost worn out. She was exhausted and hungry, and really wanted to eat something hot right away.
The lights were on inside. She pushed open the door and went inside, where she saw Mrs. Zhuang sitting at the table, packing up letters.
Besides the letter in Zhuang's mother's hand, there were several other letters on the table.
