"Those two must have gone to another part of the rubble; they might be hiding somewhere."
"Too."
Lu Fangfang nodded, feeling somewhat comforted.
After watching for a while, the two of them boarded a donkey cart and headed north.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the grass on the grassland is turning yellow, but the spruce trees on the mountain are still so green.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain forest, the two unloaded the donkey cart.
Leading their stubborn little donkey and carrying burlap sacks, they walked into the woods.
Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox followed closely behind the two.
Lu Fangfang picked up whatever she saw, from spruce towers to withered branches.
Once the sack was full, she had the stubborn little donkey carry it to the donkey cart outside.
The spruce forest here is sparsely populated, resulting in a lot of dead branches and spruce stumps on the ground, which the two of them could easily collect.
By noon, their car was full of spruce towers and dead branches.
Looking up at the mountain, Lu Fangfang was a little disappointed that she hadn't seen the snow leopard today.
Calling out to Xiaohua and Xiaozanghu, the two walked back to the family compound.
After walking for several hours, Lu Fangfang's legs were sore, so she went straight to the inner room as soon as she got home.
She carefully sealed the film she had taken that morning and put it in an envelope.
Developing photos would require going to the county, which Lu Fangfang found troublesome, so she simply sent a roll of film to Comrade Wenhui and asked her to develop it in the provincial capital.
"Mingcheng, could you mail this letter for me later?"
"Okay, leave it to me."
Lu Fangfang handed the letter to Zhuang Mingcheng, and then helped unload the pine cones she had collected.
After finishing her work, she mixed some delicious food and placed it in front of the stubborn little donkey.
This little guy is a great help to the family now, so we have to take good care of him.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey didn't rush to lower its head to eat; instead, it stretched out its snout and nudged Lu Fangfang's cloth bag.
Lu Fangfang: "..."
She took out a small handful of sunflower seeds and reluctantly stuffed them into the donkey's mouth.
"You glutton, this is for me to eat."
The little wild donkey chewed happily, wagging its little tail, and nudged towards Lu Fangfang's cloth bag.
"That's all. We'll give you some more when we get the rapeseed in a few days."
Lu Fangfang pushed the donkey's mouth away and glared at it.
She felt that the "Three Silly Ones of the Plateau" could be expanded to include the Tibetan wild ass, making it the "Four Silly Ones."
She turned around, washed her hands, and called to Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox to go back to the house to rest.
