"Auntie, can I touch Little Flower?"
Tie Dan and Daya, the two little kids, stared at the little snow leopard with stars in their eyes.
That big white cat is so beautiful.
"You'll have to ask Xiaohua, it's not up to me to decide."
Lu Fangfang carried the basket and walked at the front with Wang Shufen.
She glanced back and saw the two little kids following closely behind Xiaohua, looking like they wanted nothing more than to hug her and give her a good rub.
"Little Flower, Little Flower, can I touch you?"
"Meow~"
Little Flower gave a disdainful squeak, then quickly walked a few steps to Lu Fangfang's side.
"Auntie, Xiaohua won't let me touch her."
Tie Dan's voice was trembling with tears.
"Well, there's nothing I can do. You can pet the little Tibetan fox."
"Awoo~"
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox still had a slight limp in its hind leg, and it was the most excited one in the group.
It ran to the front one moment and then to the back the next, howling and busier than anyone else.
"I don't want a puppy, I want a leopard."
"It's not a puppy, Auntie said it's a fox."
Daya didn't mind at all; she chased after the little Tibetan fox and took the opportunity to pet it.
"Haha, little fox, don't run away~"
"Awoo~"
"Meow~"
As they walked to the front of the first row of houses in the residential compound, they were spotted by a young woman playing in the water in front of the house.
Hearing that they were going to pick mushrooms, the little girl immediately went home to get a basket and followed them.
Lu Fangfang glanced at her but didn't say anything.
It's good that this little girl has such unreliable parents and is learning to be sensible early on.
It's been almost a month since the investigation team left, and none of the women who were sent to labor reform have returned. I wonder how they are doing now.
On the way, they ran into several women from the family compound. Hearing that they were going to pick mushrooms, they all followed them.
"Sister-in-law, Shufen and I just went to the grassland to take a look. If we don't find anything, don't blame us."
"Don't worry, Fangfang. I picked mushrooms on the grasslands in the south last year, and there will definitely be some there this year too."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fangfang immediately felt relieved.
The group consisted of five adults, six children, a snow leopard, and a Tibetan fox. They left the family compound in a grand procession and headed to the grassland to the south.
It had just rained, and the grass was wet. In the distance, there were soldiers training on horseback.
"Girl, only pick the yellow mushrooms, don't pick the others."
Lu Fangfang was a little worried about Yang Yufeng's daughter, so she gave her some special instructions.
The little girl hummed in agreement and then looked down to search.
"Boom!"
A group of mounted warriors roared past.
Lu Fangfang squinted and looked around, but didn't see her husband.
Leading Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox, she walked a while into the distance before looking down to search.
The search for mushrooms couldn't interfere with the troops' training, so the other women, like Lu Fangfang, stayed away from where the soldiers were training.
"Huh?"
Lu Fangfang was lucky; she had only taken a few steps when she spotted some small, yellowish-white mushrooms and bent down to pick them up.
"Little yellow dog, come here!"
Once on the grassland, the little Tibetan fox went crazy, running around excitedly. Lu Fangfang was afraid that it would hurt its hind leg again.
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox immediately ran over.
"Remember this mushroom. If you see it in the grass, just call out and I'll come pick it up, okay?"
Lu Fangfang stroked its head, placed the mushroom in front of its nose, and let it sniff it.
Foxes, belonging to the canine family, should have a very keen sense of smell.
Xiao Hua has good eyesight; the two of them are quite a good match.
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox opened its mouth and took a bite.
"Hey, who told you to eat it? I told you to look for it."
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox chewed it and swallowed it directly.
It nudged Lu Fangfang's trouser leg, then excitedly went to find Xiaohua.
"Hey? Looking for mushrooms, you idiot."
Lu Fangfang shook her head, deciding not to count on it anymore.
Carrying a basket, she began searching on the meadow.
The little Tibetan fox is unreliable, but luckily there's Little Flower. It looked for the yellow mushroom before and still remembers it.
It searched around Lu Fangfang's vicinity, and whenever it saw a mushroom, it would dig it out with its paws, then carry the mushroom in its mouth and deliver it to Lu Fangfang.
"Meow~"
"My little flower is wonderful, unlike the little yellow dog."
Taking the yellow mushroom from Xiaohua's mouth, Lu Fangfang patted Xiaohua's head and praised it profusely.
I got up and glanced around. Not far away, a little Tibetan fox was burrowing in the grass, as if it had caught something.
"Hmm? Little Flower, let's go take a look."
Lu Fangfang led Xiaohua and walked over quickly.
Hearing the noise behind it, the little Tibetan fox became anxious and immediately opened its mouth wide, swallowing hard.
"Little yellow dog, what have you been secretly eating behind our backs?"
"Waaah~"
The little Tibetan fox turned back and looked at Lu Fangfang ingratiatingly, its mouth bulging as it swallowed hard.
Lu Fangfang frowned, vaguely seeing what was in the little Tibetan fox's mouth, which looked like a pika.
"Meow~"
Little Flower was very unhappy. She walked up to the little Tibetan fox, bared her teeth and barked, making her fur stand on end.
In this family, no one eats alone.
"Waaah~"
The little Tibetan fox immediately tucked its tail between its legs.
It looked at Xiaohua, then at Lu Fangfang, as if it understood something.
With a droopy face, it walked up to Lu Fangfang and meekly let out a soft "Awoo~"
It lowered its head and spat out a whole pika, as if regurgitating.
Lu Fangfang: "..."
She stared at the little Tibetan fox in shock.
This...this...
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox looked at Lu Fangfang ingratiatingly, then lowered its head and barked at the pika on the ground.
It seemed to be gesturing for Lu Fangfang to eat first.
There's absolutely no need for that!!!
Lu Fangfang felt a little nauseous looking at the wet pika.
To be honest, she regretted bringing the little Tibetan fox back. Apart from eating quickly, the little guy really didn't have any other merits.
"Look at you, so pathetic! You're even stealing food from a pika. Do you think I'd fight you for it? I wouldn't even take it if you gave it to me!"
The little Tibetan fox glanced at Lu Fangfang, then looked down at the pika on the ground, seemingly eager to try.
Lu Fangfang: "..."
It was simply unbearable to watch the little Tibetan fox regurgitate what it had vomited up.
She grabbed the little Tibetan fox by the neck and dragged it away.
"Awoo~"
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox looked at the pika getting further and further away and cried out pitifully.
Little Flower looked disgusted and immediately moved away from the little Tibetan fox.
