"Meow~"
Xiao Hua dragged her bamboo basket from outside the courtyard into the house.
The basket still had some snow in it, so Xiuxiu found a cloth and quickly wiped it clean.
After she finished, she carefully placed him on the wooden bed and then put a cushion on top of him.
Xiao Hua glanced at her, then contentedly crawled inside.
"Xiaohua, I was wrong. I will never take your basket again."
Xiuxiu reached out and tentatively touched Xiaohua's fluffy head.
"Meow~"
Xiaohua nuzzled her hand, as if to say she had forgiven her.
"Awoo~"
Beside them, the little Tibetan fox looked at the three baby jackals in the basket, still hesitant to approach.
Turning around, it jumped onto the wooden bed and lay down next to Little Flower.
Without anyone watching over them, the three little jackal cubs started whimpering again.
Lu Fangfang looked at the three jackal cubs and felt that they must be hungry.
She opened the cupboard, took out some dried meat, and threw it into the basket.
"Awoo~"
"Awoo~"
The three jackal cubs immediately began fighting over each other.
"Sis, they're so fierce!"
Xiuxiu leaned close to her sister and finally noticed the difference between them and the puppies.
Soon, a strong young jackal overtook the other two weak ones.
As if a hierarchy had been established, the two thinner animals no longer dared to fight over the meat. Only after it finished eating did they approach and start eating the remaining scraps.
Lu Fangfang stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then went to the inner room to get paper and pen, and started drawing the three jackals.
After she finished, she found a large enamel basin and put the three jackal cubs directly into the basket.
Such a clever jackal is really scary. She doesn't like it at all. She should send it to the zoo as soon as possible.
...
The next day, Zhuang Mingcheng, carrying a letter written by his wife, three jackal cubs, and calling out to Xiao Hua and Xiao Tibetan Fox, prepared to go to the regiment.
Now that there's not much to do in winter, he plans to take his company out for a walk around the area to hunt down wild animals that attack livestock, which will also serve as training.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey, who was lying in the house, immediately got up and followed after seeing this.
Yesterday I rode around with the warhorses, and one of them even maimed a jackal. It was so exciting, I didn't want to miss it.
"Mingcheng, wait a moment."
Lu Fangfang came out of the inner room with a camera in her hand.
She took a picture of the three jackal cubs in the basket, then waved goodbye.
"Fangfang, should I really take it with me?"
"Go ahead, and by the way, don't forget to mail the letter I wrote."
Lu Fangfang waved again, turned around and went into the house.
The little jackal cub looked quite cute, but she dared not keep it. She decided to send it to the zoo so it could get a government job.
After tidying up the house, she went to the breeding farm with Xiuxiu.
...
Three days later.
Chengguan Elementary School, the provincial capital.
After class, the teacher called over Hongbing and Zhang Chunyan and handed each of them a letter.
“Hongbing, Chunyan, I saw that the letter was sent by Qilian, and it has Lu Fangfang’s name on it. Who is she to you?”
The two little kids were taken aback for a moment, then became excited.
"Teacher, Aunt Lu is the author of the Pallas's cat story, and she illustrated that picture book."
Zhang Chunyan said happily.
She was so surprised that Aunt Lu actually replied to her letter; she was overjoyed.
Beside him, Hongbing, with a sullen face, couldn't help but glance at Teacher Liu again.
The comic book he and Hu Zi bought together is still with Teacher Liu.
"Why are you looking at me? Look at the letter, look at the letter."
Teacher Liu became interested and decided not to leave, wanting to see what Aunt Lu had written.
The two took the letter and immediately began to open it.
Both letters were quite thick. Hongbing pulled out a piece of paper from the letter and found a special piece of white paper inside.
He unfolded the paper and saw two snow leopards drawn on it. One was very small but looked very cute, while the other was very fierce but looked chubby and plump. Its name, Big Fatty, was written on it.
"Snow leopards! Snow leopards! Two kings of the snow mountains!"
The Red Army soldiers were overjoyed.
He grabbed the drawing paper, immediately looked up, and shouted, "Awoo~"
"Awoo~"
"What are you yelling about?"
Teacher Liu gave a helpless scolding.
His commotion successfully attracted the attention of everyone else in the class.
"Hehe, teacher, you don't understand, that's the cry of the King of the Snow Mountains."
Hongbing was very pleased with himself. He looked at the drawing paper and found a thick claw mark with the words "Little Flower's Mark" written on it.
The little flower mark? Could it be that the snow leopard imprinted it himself?
He scratched his head, still looking a little puzzled.
He unfolded the letter, wanting to see what Aunt Lu had written to him.
"Huh? What's this?"
Hongbing held a black beard, somewhat puzzled.
He put it aside and picked up the letter to continue reading.
"Wow, Aunt Lu also has a snow leopard cub, that's amazing."
Hongbing's eyes turned into stars, and he wished he could raise a snow leopard himself.
He continued reading the letter, and when he encountered an unfamiliar character, he quickly turned to ask Teacher Liu, "Teacher, can you help me see how to pronounce this character?"
"Beard, the letter says that the whiskers inside are those of a snow leopard."
Teacher Liu was quite surprised when she read the letter.
She was still a little skeptical about raising snow leopards, as they were ferocious beasts.
"A snow leopard's whiskers?"
Hongbing immediately picked up the beard on the table and grinned foolishly.
Does this mean he also managed to touch a snow leopard?
“Hongbing, the letter said that the King of the Snow Mountain’s cry is not like your ghostly howl. It’s more like a cat’s meow, only lower and rougher. That should be how it sounds.”
Teacher Liu laughed and then put on a high-pitched meow.
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
Red Soldier: "..."
"Impossible, impossible! How could the cry of the King of the Snow Mountains be a cat's meow?!"
"Look, the letter says it sounds like a cat."
Hongbing leaned closer to take a look, and sure enough, the letter described something that sounded similar to a cat's meow.
He opened his mouth, then suddenly felt frustrated. Why was the King of the Snow Mountains meowing like a cat?
He turned his head and looked at the paw prints on the painting, and grinned foolishly again. Regardless of whether it was a cat's meow or not, he now had a painting bearing the mark of the King of the Snow Mountains.
Teacher Liu smiled and shook her head, then looked at Zhang Chunyan, who had already finished reading the letter and was unfolding the drawing paper inside.
"This is Cat King, it's so beautiful."
Zhang Chunyan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't take her eyes off them.
On the drawing paper, a female Pallas's rabbit is hunting, with a pika running away in front of her.
"Cat tyrant, truly a cat tyrant."
"Wow, is the cat tyrant hunting in its new territory?"
"The cat king is really amazing, and the mouse and rabbit are so cute."
The crowd gathered around said with envy.
The comic book that Hongbing and Zhang Chunyan bought has almost spread throughout the class. Most of the students have seen it, and they recognized it as Cat Overlord at a glance.
