Lu Fangfang's shot scared away all the wild animals nearby.
Nothing else happened in the valley after that.
By the time the two finished scooping up the mud and sand that had accumulated in the stream, it was already noon.
The bottle of liquor that Lu Fangfang brought was already more than half full.
Several irregularly shaped gold stones had also appeared in her military satchel.
"Mingcheng! We've become millionaires!"
Lu Fangfang held the bottle, somewhat intoxicated.
Under the sunlight, the liquor bottle looked golden and incredibly beautiful.
Zhuang Mingcheng looked at his lover's money-grubbing expression and shook his head with a smile.
However, what my wife said is true. If we sell this batch of gold, we can get at least ten thousand yuan.
"Three days of work is equivalent to more than ten years of my salary."
Zhuang Mingcheng muttered to himself, somewhat surprised.
The Qilian Mountains are truly full of surprises, and he wants to explore them again with his loved one when they have time.
"Alright, Fangfang, put it away now. Stop looking at it. It won't run away. We have to go back."
After washing the tarpaulin, Zhuang Mingcheng went ashore and started packing up the campsite.
Lu Fangfang chuckled for a moment, then quickly put the liquor bottle into her handbag.
She planned to hoard this gold until it was exposed to the light of day after the movement.
This stuff is hard currency; it won't depreciate. If you keep it for a few years, the price might even go up.
"Hehe, this bag is really heavy."
Lu Fangfang, carrying a shoulder bag, walked towards Zhuang Mingcheng with a silly grin.
When she got close, she stood on tiptoe, hugged her man's head, and gave him a big kiss.
"Zhuang Mingcheng, Commander Zhuang, you really bring me good fortune."
Zhuang Mingcheng was panting heavily. He turned his head to look at the dismantled tent and felt a pang of regret.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and get ready."
Lu Fangfang rolled her eyes at him.
Compared to when they came, they brought back much more things this time, especially the rock sheep meat, which weighed several dozen kilograms.
Fortunately, the little wild donkey had grown a bit bigger and could barely carry it.
Looking north into the valley one last time, Lu Fangfang felt a little regretful.
When she has time in the future, she will definitely go to the end to take a look.
"Fangfang, let's go."
The two, leading a wild donkey and a chestnut horse, and calling out to Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox, left in the direction they had come from.
...
A short while later, a large snow leopard cautiously emerged from the woods on the opposite bank.
Seeing that no one was in the stream, it immediately picked up its tail, waded across the stream, and walked to the place where Lu Fangfang and her companion had set up their tent.
It lowered its head and sniffed, then walked to a large rock and licked the blood of the ibex on it.
Most of the bharal blood had dried up and didn't taste very good.
The snow leopard was extremely aggrieved. Since being driven out of its territory by its mother and wandering here, this was the first time it had suffered such a great loss. It was really too much of a bullying for the snow leopard.
It roared angrily in the direction where Lu Fangfang and the others had left.
"Meow……"
"Bang!"
rub!
Hearing the gunshot in the distance, the snow leopard fled without looking back.
...
In the valley not far away, Lu Fangfang held a semi-automatic rifle, watching the forest on the mountain warily.
As she and Zhuang Mingcheng walked this distance, they felt something was off, as if a pair of eyes were watching them.
Upon seeing Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox calling towards the southern mountains, she decisively pulled the trigger.
"Mingcheng, did you see anything?"
Zhuang Mingcheng shook his head and said solemnly, "I only saw a white shadow. I don't know what kind of beast it was. It must have escaped."
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Lu Fangfang didn't care what it was anymore. She raised her gun and fired two more shots into the woods.
"Mingcheng, let's go, let's not waste time with it."
Zhuang Mingcheng nodded, then called out to Xiao Hua and Xiao Zanghu, and continued walking along the valley.
Once they emerged from the valley and arrived at the familiar lake, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now in the valley, the forests on both sides were so dense that even with their weapons, they didn't feel safe.
Thankfully, it's finally out.
After resting for a while, they led their chestnut horse out of the forest and onto the grassland.
Looking at the vast grassland and then back at the mountains and forests, Lu Fangfang felt like she was dreaming, but thankfully it was a beautiful dream.
Turning to look at her husband, she smiled and opened her arms.
Without hesitation, Zhuang Mingcheng grabbed his lover's waist, picked her up, and placed her on the chestnut horse.
"Honey, you've gained quite a bit of weight in just a few days."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Gold is on me, how could it not be heavy?"
Zhuang Mingcheng was taken aback, then burst into a silly grin.
"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, come on, let's go home."
Mounting his chestnut horse, Zhuang Mingcheng put his arm around his wife and cracked the whip.
"Smack."
"Meow~"
"Awoo~"
After several days, both Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox were exhausted and missed their warm little home terribly.
...
"Oh...ah..."
On the grassland, after running for less than half an hour, the little wild donkey started braying, pulling on the reins.
It was quite strong, and it even pulled the chestnut horse in front of it to a stop.
Zhuang Mingcheng turned around and saw the little wild donkey panting heavily, looking at him sideways.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey stepped forward, tilted its head, and tried to bite Zhuang Mingcheng's arm.
"Smack."
Zhuang Mingcheng slapped the donkey's head with his other hand. "Alright, I know you're tired. Let's rest for a while before we go."
"Oh...ah..."
