"Don't you crawl?"
Lu Fangfang clung to Zhuang Mingcheng's arm, practically hanging on him.
The snow-capped mountain was so high, and she hadn't eaten breakfast, so she really didn't want to climb anymore.
If there were cordyceps on the ground, she would still have some motivation, but now the cordyceps have all been harvested.
She could only look pitifully at her husband.
"I'll carry you up even if I have to."
Zhuang Mingcheng grabbed his wife and tried to pick her up.
Climbing snow-capped mountains with his loved one has almost become an obsession for him.
"No need, I'll climb, I'll climb, okay?"
Lu Fangfang looked distressed and took a few forceful steps.
Ahead of the two, Xiaohua was running around.
The little guy got excited as soon as it reached the snow mountain. Climbing the mountain was not tiring for it at all, which made Lu Fangfang very envious.
More than half an hour later, Lu Fangfang was panting heavily and was almost unable to go on.
She clung to Zhuang Mingcheng's arm and looked up. The highest peak was still far away; the two of them had only managed to climb halfway up the mountain.
The wind was howling around her, but she was still sweating profusely.
"I can't take it anymore, I'm exhausted, I need to rest."
Lu Fangfang waved her hand and plopped down on the rock.
There was still a little snow in the shady spot halfway up the mountain. She tugged at her husband's sleeve and pointed to the shady spot.
Zhuang Mingcheng smiled and shook his head. "Alright, let's not climb any higher."
He sat down next to Lu Fangfang and put his arm around his lover.
Looking down at the grasslands from the mountainside, the view stretches as far as the eye can see, the entire land covered in lush greenery, a truly magnificent sight.
Lu Fangfang squinted and vaguely saw the outline of Team Six.
Looking up at the sky, it felt as if the white clouds were floating right above her head, giving her the illusion that she could reach out and touch them.
It's a pity I didn't take any pictures of the grassland from the snow-capped mountains.
"So beautiful."
Lu Fangfang immediately felt it was all worth it.
Zhuang Mingcheng felt the same way; he had only one regret: he wished he could take a picture with his lover.
Looks like I need to find a way to get a plane ticket, otherwise I'll miss all this beautiful scenery.
"Meow~"
"Um?"
Lu Fangfang turned around and saw Xiao Hua calling out to a crack in a rock.
The little guy's cries are different from usual.
She thought for a moment and realized that this was how Xiaohua had called it when she encountered cordyceps before.
A thought struck her, and she quickly stood up and walked over.
"Little Flower, did you find something good again?"
"Huh?"
Lu Fangfang looked at the crack in the stone with great surprise.
A white flower, resembling a cabbage, is blooming in a crack in the rock.
On this snow-capped mountain, amidst the white flowers, she instantly thought of the Tian Shan snow lotus.
Snow lotus
"Meow~"
Little Flower scratched at the snow lotus with her paws.
Lu Fangfang quickly squatted down and stopped it. This was a good thing, and it couldn't be damaged.
She picked up Xiaohua, rubbed the little one's head, and kissed her on the forehead.
"Oh my, my little flower is really amazing! Are you thinking of giving me this snow lotus flower?"
"Meow~"
Xiao Hua snuggled into Lu Fangfang's arms, then called out triumphantly to Zhuang Mingcheng.
Zhuang Mingcheng: "..."
"Mingcheng, come and take a look, isn't this a Tian Shan snow lotus?"
Zhuang Mingcheng's lips twitched, and he quickly walked over.
Looking down for a closer look, he couldn't help but nod and say, "It's a snow lotus."
This "rebellious son" is really clever; he actually managed to find snow lotus flowers.
Zhuang Mingcheng was stunned when he saw the little flower in his lover's arms.
"Hehe, Xiaohua gave me a snow lotus flower."
Lu Fangfang was overjoyed and kissed Xiaohua on the forehead again.
"Give it to me."
Zhuang Mingcheng felt jealous, so he took the little flower and kissed it too.
"Meow~"
Little Flower was not happy. It cried out pitifully and broke free from Zhuang Mingcheng's embrace.
Lu Fangfang shook her head, too lazy to care about the two of them.
Upon closer inspection, besides this blooming Tian Shan snow lotus in the crevice of the rock, there were four other plants nearby. However, none of these four plants had bloomed yet, and they looked more like cabbages.
"My little flower is practically a treasure-hunting snow leopard."
Lu Fangfang was very happy. She moved aside a few stones and carefully dug out the snow lotus that was still in full bloom.
I bent down and took a sniff; the white snow lotus had a faint, refreshing fragrance.
"Mingcheng, after it's air-dried, I'll boil some water for you to drink."
Lu Fangfang plans to dig up a large one when the snow lotus flowers are in full bloom in a few days.
She left the rest unharvested, allowing the snow lotus to continue multiplying.
She used a few stones to cover the remaining snow lotus.
Nearby, Zhuang Mingcheng was still outwitting Xiaohua. Hearing his lover's words, he felt a little strange.
"Fangfang, I'm not sick, why are you giving me this to drink? By the way, what are the benefits of snow lotus?"
"It warms the kidneys and boosts yang, relieves menstrual cramps and improves blood circulation, and it seems to be good for the skin too. Anyway, it's a good thing, so let's drink it together."
"Um?"
Zhuang Mingcheng was taken aback, and he frowned as he looked at Lu Fangfang.
"To...to boost yang?"
"Don't just listen to this one effect; it has other uses too. Anyway, it's a good thing."
Lu Fangfang suppressed a laugh.
She hurriedly called out to Xiaohua, took the snow lotus, and turned to walk down the mountain.
"Lu Fangfang, this joke isn't funny at all!!!"
Zhuang Mingcheng got angry and immediately turned around to chase after him.
He was filled with regret. He should have known better than to do it last night. He felt sorry for his lover, but he didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
Lu Fangfang, on the other hand, actually thought he was impotent...
This is absolutely outrageous!
...
The two playfully bickered as they descended the snow-capped mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Zhuang Mingcheng's chestnut horse quietly grazes on the tender grass in the meadow.
The little wild donkey was tied behind the chestnut horse and could only follow it closely.
Lu Fangfang was bending down to tie her shoelaces when she suddenly noticed a small yellow mushroom on the grass beside her.
Looking up, I saw that the area was blocked by the snow-capped mountains, and the grass was quite damp.
Holding the snow lotus in her hand, she felt like she had discovered something good again. She had never eaten yellow mushrooms from the alpine grasslands before, so she quickly called Zhuang Mingcheng over.
"The locals call it yellow mushroom. It makes a delicious soup. The county still has some. I didn't expect it to be out so early. Fangfang, let's look around and see if there are any more nearby."
Zhuang Mingcheng bent down and carefully picked the yellow mushroom.
This is a good stuff. The villagers often use it to make soup, and just a handful makes it very delicious. The price the county buys it for isn't cheap either.
"Yellow Mushroom, what a simple name."
Lu Fangfang took off the cloth bag she was carrying and let Zhuang Mingcheng put it inside, then bent down and started searching.
