"Separate families? The Pallas's cats are separating families?"
Lu Fangfang was very surprised to hear this.
The mother Pallas's cat is taking care of five baby Pallas's cats. What kind of family is this?
But then she realized that the baby Pallas's cat had grown up and the adult Pallas's cat was about to have offspring; it seems that this is how it is with wild animals.
Now she was intrigued. This was something she could go and take a look; maybe she could even kidnap one.
The two rode in a donkey cart to the pasture outside.
Lu Fangfang also brought a sickle, intending to cut some grass to bring back for the little wild donkey to eat that night.
"Awoo~"
"Meow~"
Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox ran ahead, occasionally glancing back at the donkey cart.
Lu Fangfang wasn't worried at all, letting the animals frolic freely on the meadow near her home.
Looking around, the once lush green grassland had turned mostly yellow, appearing desolate and lonely. The seasons change so quickly.
"It's really cold now."
"It's alright now, but it will get colder here in October, dropping below zero. It will start snowing in late October."
Hearing her husband's words, Lu Fangfang was speechless.
It snowed in October, so it seems she needs to prepare for winter early, and she should also try to light the heated kang (traditional Chinese bed) in advance.
The two sat in the donkey cart, chatting, and soon arrived at Tuboling.
Lu Fangfang picked up the binoculars her husband had brought and looked in the direction of the Tibetan fox family.
She hadn't seen the Tibetan fox family for quite some time and didn't know how they were doing.
"Hey? Mingcheng, look! What's it doing?"
On the distant grassland, a large Tibetan fox with sparse fur was digging in the soil with a pika in its mouth.
Tibetan fox with mouth full of pikas
After a while, it looked around, then put the pika in its mouth into the pit and covered it with soil.
"Is this the little yellow dog's stepfather? He's probably hiding food to store up for winter. Everything is plump on the grassland now, so if he doesn't store more, it'll be hard to hunt in winter."
Zhuang Mingcheng, holding the binoculars, looked on in astonishment.
This adult Tibetan fox is getting more and more haggard; it seems taking care of five cubs is really not easy.
The large Tibetan fox in the distance also spotted them.
They were all old acquaintances. The giant Tibetan fox glanced at them a few times, but didn't care. It turned around and disappeared into its cave.
"Awoo~"
The little yellow dog perked up and ran over quickly, barking as it went.
Upon reaching the entrance of the burrow, it spread its legs and began to urinate.
Hearing the noise, the large Tibetan fox in the cave immediately crawled out to investigate.
It glanced at the little yellow dog, which stared at the snow leopard not far away, not daring to make any other move.
"That little yellow dog is so mean."
Lu Fangfang looked through the binoculars, somewhat speechless.
If it weren't for Xiao Hua, the little yellow dog would definitely have been beaten up by the Tibetan fox, and might even have been in mortal danger.
"Xiaohua, call the little yellow dog over, we're leaving."
"Meow~"
Hearing Lu Fangfang's call, Xiao Hua slapped the little Tibetan fox with her paw and shooed it away.
Several more furry little heads emerged from the cave, curiously watching the departing group.
The donkey cart swayed and wobbled as it made its way toward the pile of rubble.
On the way, Lu Fangfang called the little Tibetan fox up and gave it a good scolding, telling it not to do such a thing again.
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox lay on the donkey cart, its playful mood gone.
Upon reaching the pile of rocks, the two did not approach it, but instead used binoculars to search for the Pallas's cats from a distance.
"Fangfang, look, it's on that big rock."
Following the direction her husband pointed, Lu Fangfang indeed spotted the female Pallas's rabbit on the large rock.
It lay on the rock, lost in thought.
Under the rock were its five cubs, playing. They looked quite grown, almost as big as their mother.
"It seems like we're really going to split up."
Lu Fangfang sat on the donkey cart, watching with great interest.
After a while, just when their eyes were getting tired from watching, the female Pallas's cat finally came down from the rock.
It sniffed the children and snuggled up to each one.
Cat King's domineering face seemed to reveal a hint of reluctance.
Pallas's cat
Looking at this scene, Lu Fangfang suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
Raising five kittens must have been incredibly difficult for the cat king, and now, after all that effort, he wants to drive them away.
well!
In the distance, Cat King glanced at the children again, then turned and walked in the opposite direction from the pile of rubble.
The five Pallas's rabbits were all startled. As if they had a premonition of something, they immediately chased after them.
"Heh, heh~"
The cat tyrant turned around and hissed threateningly at its children.
The Pallas's cats stopped and dared not go any further.
They cried out, reluctant to let their mother go.
The cat overlord glanced at the little ones again, then turned and walked away resolutely without further hesitation.
It left the rich territory that the pikas had conquered to its five children.
But it is going to another place.
"..."
In the distance, Lu Fangfang couldn't bear to watch any longer. She rubbed her eyes, feeling like crying.
She thought the cat tyrant would chase the children away, but in the end it left on its own.
"Honey, it's alright, it's alright. Maybe it just went hunting and will come back."
Zhuang Mingcheng quickly comforted his wife.
He regretted it a little. He really was something else. He knew his wife was pregnant and very emotional, yet he still brought her to see the Pallas's cats separating their family.
