The little wild donkey pulled the two of them, and soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain to the north.
At this time, the entire mountain was covered with heavy snow, and even the dense spruce trees were covered with white snowflakes.
"So beautiful."
Xiuxiu gazed at the scene, somewhat mesmerized.
She had only been in Qilian for a few days when she found herself falling in love with the place; it was full of surprises at every turn.
"It really looks good."
Lu Fangfang was also full of praise.
This world, covered in snow, is just like a scene from a fairy tale.
However, seeing this scene, she gave up the idea of going into the mountains, as it was too dangerous to go up at this time.
"Little Flower, can you see if Big Fatty is here?"
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
Little Flower looked up at the mountain and called out twice.
After a while, hearing no echo, it looked dejectedly at Lu Fangfang.
"It's not a good time to hunt. Big Fatty must have gone into the mountains. Let's go back first."
Lu Fangfang waved to Xiaohua and picked it up and put it on the sled.
After spending so much time outdoors, she felt cold even though she was wearing a military overcoat.
Beside her, Xiuxiu was also holding a small Tibetan fox, warming her hands.
"Little stubborn donkey, let's go back."
"Giddy up!"
Lu Fangfang looked up at the mountain and then drove the little wild donkey away.
She wasn't worried about Big Fat at all; with all that fat on its body, it could survive for more than a month without eating.
On the way back, the little wild donkey pulled the sled and arrived at Tubo Ridge again.
By this time, the mother Tibetan fox had already returned, dragging her baby marmot back with her.
Five little Tibetan foxes are excitedly eating around a groundhog.
The male Tibetan fox looked at the children, then walked up to the female Tibetan fox and began grooming her fur.
The mother Tibetan fox sat at the entrance of the cave, still with the same expression, but appearing even more relaxed.
One groundhog is worth more than twenty pikas, enough for their family to survive for the next few days.
On the sled, Lu Fangfang watched this scene and smiled.
The Tibetan fox family of seven was an old acquaintance of hers.
She was also very happy to see that they were able to survive the snow disaster.
As for groundhogs...
"Giddy up!"
Lu Fangfang called out and drove the little wild donkey away.
It's getting late, and she needs to get back to the farm before sunset.
"You stubborn little donkey, hurry up, or I'll give you something good to eat when we get back."
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey brayed and immediately ran off excitedly.
The two people on the sled held tightly to the logs below.
Soon, the little wild donkey led the two of them back to their home farm.
Lu Fangfang put down the little flower, then stood up and stomped her feet.
After a short while, she untied the sled, pulled the little wild donkey along, and quickly went into the storeroom.
The room was very warm, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief after taking off her military overcoat.
"Xiuxiu, go mix some crushed corn and feed it to the little stubborn donkey."
"Why."
Xiuxiu responded and went out with the basin.
After locking up her rifle, Lu Fangfang found an old cloth and began wiping the little wild donkey's four legs.
Her biggest worry along the way was the little wild donkey.
The snow on the grassland was very thick, and the little wild donkey kept walking in the snow, so she was afraid that the little wild donkey's legs would get cold.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey looked down and seemed a little unaccustomed to it.
It nudged Lu Fangfang with its head, walked to the door, and looked at Xiuxiu in the yard.
"You greedy donkey, you still know how to be gluttonous. Looks like you're alright."
Lu Fangfang smiled, relieved.
She put down the rag, poured some warm water, and washed her face.
When Xiuxiu came in with the basin, she told Xiuxiu to put it down and quickly come over and wash it.
"Xiao Lu, Xiu Xiu, what fun things did you two see on your trip?"
Zhao Lanying came out of the shed carrying a cloth bag.
"Sister-in-law, we've seen plenty of these things, we even rescued a Tibetan fox."
Xiuxiu wiped her face with a towel, walked up to Sister Lanying, and began to talk enthusiastically.
Lu Fangfang smiled and shook her head. She warmed herself by the fire for a while, then went to take a look around the breeding farm shed.
The drop in outside temperature has had some impact on the quails. She looked at her notebook and found that they had laid fewer eggs in the past two days.
Looking up at the thermometer on the wall, the temperature inside the shed wasn't low.
However, the house was too dry because of the fire burning all the time, so she mixed some warm water and fed the quails.
Back in the storage room, she spoke to Lan Ying's sister-in-law again, explaining that it was too dry in winter and the house was always on fire, so they needed to feed her warm water several more times.
...
In the evening, after Lu Fangfang and Xiuxiu finished their dinner, they waited for a while longer.
Seeing that there was still no sound at the door, she sighed helplessly.
"Sister, don't worry about brother-in-law. With so many people with him, everything will be fine."
"I'm just worried he'll get cold."
Lu Fangfang also felt that she was worrying too much.
She walked to the cupboard, opened it, took out some dried bear meat, and then sat back down next to the stove.
"Little Flower, open your mouth."
"Meow~"
Lu Fangfang tossed it out, and Xiao Hua immediately jumped up and caught the bear jerky in her mouth.
"Little yellow dog, open your mouth."
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox ate two rabbit legs that night, but it wasn't satisfied, so it started chewing on some jerky.
"Sis, what kind of meat is this?"
Seeing the two little ones eating so excitedly, Xiuxiu couldn't help but swallow.
"Bear meat."
Lu Fangfang smiled and handed one to Xiuxiu.
This is what she dried before. She didn't add any ingredients; she just cut it into strips and dried it naturally. It looks quite dark.
