At the breeding farm.
Zhao Lanying was piling up animal bones when she saw Lu Fangfang arrive. She looked up at her.
"Xiao Lu, why is your face so pale? Sit down and rest."
"It's nothing, just a little morning sickness."
Lu Fangfang waved her hand, not caring.
I felt really nauseous when I threw up, but I feel better now that I've gotten through this.
Seeing Zhao Lanying shoveling fresh animal bones, she asked curiously, "Sister-in-law Lanying, are these newly harvested?"
"Yes, I was just about to tell you, Xiao Lu. This is twenty catties of animal bones, which cost ninety cents in total. It was delivered by a team, and I've written it all down in my notebook."
Lu Fangfang bent down and looked at it carefully.
These animal bones appear to be sheep bones, and they look quite fresh. Some even have teeth marks on them, unlike the animal bones that had been exposed to the elements before. They must be leftovers.
"By the way, Sister Lanying, have any people come to sell grass seeds these days?"
"No, not really. Xiao Lu, I see there are plenty of grass seeds on the grassland outside. I'll go pick some when they've grown properly."
There isn't much work at the farm right now, and Zhao Lanying feels a bit uneasy doing it, fearing that if the farm goes out of business, she'll lose her job again.
"Sister-in-law Lanying, we need to raise a lot of quails, several thousand of them. Just catching them won't be enough. We need to harvest more grass seeds."
Lu Fangfang thought about it and felt that she should go to several nearby brigades to promote it more vigorously.
Autumn is very short in the Qilian Mountains, so we need to start preparing to see it now.
Grass seeds are cheap, so the more we collect, the better, at least enough to feed the quails through the winter.
After chatting with Sister-in-law Lan Ying for a few more minutes, she prepared to go for a stroll on the grassland outside.
Looking around, she noticed that Xiaohua was already lying in the shade of the yard.
Lu Fangfang strode over and pulled it up.
Just then, the little wild donkey was also in the yard. She grabbed the donkey with one hand and Little Flower with the other, and went to the pasture next door.
Neither of the little ones wanted to move around, and once they got to the meadow, they didn't want to do anything.
"Little Flower, Little Stubborn Donkey, follow along."
Lu Fangfang carried a basket, picking wild onion flowers while searching around.
After a while, she spotted a pika on the grass in the distance and silently took out the slingshot from her pocket.
Pull it open forcefully, aim.
bass!
The bullet hit the pika's head precisely.
Little Flower perked up and quickly ran over to pick up the pika.
"Meow~"
Lu Fangfang took out the dagger from her waist and cut off the rabbit's head, revealing the blood-red flesh.
She was extremely worried about Xiaohua.
"Alright, eat up."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a huge donkey head popped out.
To Lu Fangfang's stunned gaze, the little wild donkey curled its tongue and swallowed the pika whole.
Both the woman and the leopard were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the little wild donkey.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey chewed it and swallowed it directly.
It tasted good, and it wagged its tail and barked happily.
Lu Fangfang was stunned for a while before she realized what she meant. "Aren't you a grass-eater? You're a herbivore!"
She pried open the donkey's mouth and looked closely; the pika had indeed been swallowed by the stubborn little donkey, not a single bit left.
this……
What kind of donkey did she raise?
Little Flower looked at the little wild donkey with great curiosity.
Looking around, it saw a pika on the grass in the distance and immediately ran over to it.
After a while, Xiao Hua returned carrying a plump pika in her mouth.
It quickly walked up to the little wild donkey and put down the pika from its mouth.
"Meow~"
The little wild donkey's eyes lit up. It lowered its head and rolled the pika into its mouth again.
"Why?"
Lu Fangfang was picking wild onion flowers nearby.
Looking at this scene, she opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The donkey stopped eating grass and started eating meat; things were in complete chaos.
Little Flower discovered something fun, and spent the whole afternoon busily catching pikas in the meadow.
It didn't eat the pikas it caught, but instead offered them to the little wild donkey.
The little wild donkey is the same; it accepts anything that comes its way. As long as there are pikas or rabbits, it will roll them into its mouth, chew them, and swallow them.
In the end, Lu Fangfang became frightened.
Worried that the little wild donkey might get sick from eating it, she quickly stopped Xiaohua from giving the pika to Xiaohua.
"Meow~"
Little Flower stood in front of the little wild donkey and brayed. It had been catching pikas all afternoon and was tired.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey obediently lay down.
Xiao Hua leaped up and jumped onto the donkey's back.
Having found a comfortable spot, it lay down and began licking its paws.
Lu Fangfang: "..."
These two little ones didn't get along before and wouldn't talk to each other.
Well, now they've turned the rabbit and the mouse into brothers, and they've even forgotten their past grudges.
She shook her head with a smile, then picked more sand onion flowers, carrying her basket.
The little wild donkey followed behind Lu Fangfang, nibbling on tender grass.
It was somewhat tempted when it saw the wild onion flowers in Lu Fangfang's basket.
"You stubborn little donkey, if you dare touch the wild onions in my basket, I'll eat donkey meat sandwiches when I get back."
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey snorted and pretended to be stupid.
Little Flower lay leisurely on the donkey's back, feeling a little sleepy.
It glanced eastward, then closed its eyes.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, this scene looks like a painting.
...
At this moment, on the train heading to the provincial capital, Zhuang Mingcheng was peeling eggs.
As his wife instructed, he gave two to the little Tibetan fox and ate two himself.
"Little yellow dog, are you full?"
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox meowed at him, then looked out the train window.
Looking at the scenery, so different from the Qilian Mountains, it felt a sense of wonder, but also a longing for its family, including Xiaohua and Lu Fangfang.
Zhuang Mingcheng patted its head and took out some jerky from his bag.
His wife told him to take good care of the little Tibetan fox.
"Open your mouth."
"Awoo~"
