Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland
Chapter 136 - 134: When the Wolf Falls for the Lamb, "A Stormy Night!
Spring lambs are born every day.
The pasture is full of little lambs.
Jiang Feng enters the sheep pen, where a large group of lambs gather to play.
The ewes are scattered around the lambs, quietly grazing.
This scene is quite harmonious and loving.
More and more macho guys enter the live stream just to watch the flock of little white lambs.
The little lambs look incredibly cute.
Jiang Feng casually picks up two, and they don’t resist, just bleating dully twice.
[Shepherd, please put the little lambs down!]
[So many cute little lambs, double the happiness!]
[I wish I had so many little lambs.]
[The lambs are so cute, and just as tasty when roasted!]
Jiang Feng carries three little lambs outside; these three lambs are without care from any ewe.
For such lambs, herdsmen usually take care of them personally, raising them as pets, taking them everywhere.
After feeding the lambs, if there are no ewes or flock around them, they will follow people.
Jiang Feng reaches the outside of the pasture and sets the lambs on the ground.
He walks forward and says:
"Sheep have a strong tendency to follow. If there’s no one of their kind, they’ll follow the herdsman."
"So you see, wherever I go, these few little lambs will follow."
In the live stream, it is indeed as Jiang Feng says.
As he walks forward, the lambs follow suit.
Just then, Little Border Collie, Little White Wolf, and Little Coal Ball come running out of the courtyard.
The three little ones, seeing Jiang Feng, excitedly run toward him.
At this moment, they notice the three little lambs at Jiang Feng’s feet. Xiaojin Hua immediately crouches down, assuming a herding posture.
The three little lambs instantly dare not move an inch.
Three dogs versus three little white lambs.
The atmosphere suddenly turns a bit tense.
Jiang Feng sees Little Border Collie and says:
"Xiaojin Hua, don’t be fierce to them."
"Let them follow."
Hearing Jiang Feng’s command, Little Border Collie stands up, its face returning to a cute, cuddly smile.
Little White Wolf and Little Mongolian Mastiff also prance along, showing no intention to herd.
Jiang Feng continues to walk forward, with the six little ones in tow.
The lambs may be a bit scared, but their tendency to follow is too strong. Without other sheep around, they see Jiang Feng as their pillar.
So raising lambs as pets is quite worry-free, as they won’t run off on their own.
Jiang Feng walks all the way to an area outside the ranch.
At this moment, there’s a truck parked outside, loaded with red bricks.
Two masons are mixing cement nearby.
The foundation is dug a bit deeper, and a waist-high half red brick wall is already built in front.
Hadan and Bugude, two young Mongolian men, watch curiously from the side.
Seeing Jiang Feng come over, Hadan smiles and asks:
"Manager, this place is so big, what do you plan to plant here?"
"On the steppe we rarely see vegetables being grown."
Mongolian herders generally don’t grow vegetables or grains.
Han herders are impressive though; they lease land to grow corn and sorghum.
Sometimes when driving into the steppe, suddenly you might see a field of corn on an empty road. Don’t be surprised, it’s surely a Han people’s pastoral area.
The steppe, for hundreds of years, has only grown grass. Herders wanting vegetables mostly forage for wild sprouts.
But since the Han people arrived, they’ve planted all kinds of crops, making the Han pastoral areas diverse.
Jiang Feng now has Skills in planting and various seeds of crops at hand.
Planting a vegetable garden is naturally not an issue.
Jiang Feng replies to Hadan:
"We’ll plant some radishes, lettuce, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, and peppers."
"Also, a part will be allocated for fruits, planting strawberries and watermelons."
Upon hearing this, Hadan is even more surprised.
"The steppe has strong winds and big day-night temperature differences. My family says vegetables can’t survive."
Jiang Feng explains:
"This area will be fenced. If the wind doesn’t get in, it’ll be fine."
"Choose cold-resistant seeds, and they can grow."
Farming is about experience, requiring practice to master.
For instance, how to sow the seeds, the spacing, and how many seeds at a time are crucial.
Some seeds even require a film cover to provide an anaerobic environment.
Without experience, it’s hard to grow successfully.
Jiang Feng continues walking inward and says:
"I’ll handle this piece of land. When it’s time to water, I’ll let you two know."
Hadan and Bugude both reply:
"No problem."
Netizens watching this scene are also a bit surprised.
[Is the manager going to plant the fields himself? Impressive!]
[Everyone, welcome to apply to Yunnan Agricultural University, where we farm every day and end up looking as sunburned as if we’re charred!]
[You know, without some experience, you really can’t grow vegetables. You have to have done it yourself!]
[The streamer is quite impressive, seems to know everything, a versatile talent!]
[Occasionally mocks the ranch owner with his words, but still really admires him at heart, quietly mastering everything, truly maddening when comparing with him!]
Jiang Feng was discussing with the foreman responsible for building the walls.
"Put an extra wall here for me to separate the two areas, leaving a small door in between."
"Then fence in this area, add some pillars on top, and make a canopy; I’m planning to set up a grape arbor there later."
Jiang Feng gave instructions to the foreman, who noted everything down.
Although Jiang Feng appeared young and gentle, he lacked the naive foolishness typical of college students and was instead very clear about everything.
The netizens watching Jiang Feng coordinate with the foreman hoped they could have such social skills.
After finishing all of this, Jiang Feng called Hadan, Bugude, and Luo Jinzhu to discuss matters regarding planting pasture grass.
The little lamb kept sticking close to Jiang Feng.
The three little dogs followed along as well.
Now, the little lamb was no longer afraid of them; instead, it played amiably with the puppies.
Jiang Feng and the others were selecting seeds nearby.
The little lamb and puppies rested at the side.
One white lamb seemed particularly fond of the Little White Wolf.
It dashed to the side of the Little White Wolf, lowered its head, and gently bumped the Little White Wolf with its head.
The Little White Wolf, always friendly, did not block the lamb when it approached.
It even lowered its head to sniff the little white lamb.
This wolf-and-lamb duo successfully attracted everyone’s attention.
[Look over there, the little wolf and lamb are playing together!]
[This world is too crazy; a rat acting as a bridesmaid for a cat!]
[The wolf fell madly in love with the sheep!]
[This is as explosive as Grey Wolf marrying Mei Yangyang!]
[The animals on this ranch are getting more mystical!]
[A stormy night!!]
The bullet chat went wild.
In the camera, the little wolf and lamb were playing happily.
The little lamb bounced around in a circle and then gently bumped the Little White Wolf with its head.
The Little White Wolf appeared very pleased and was playing with the little lamb too.
Ever since entering the pasture, the Little White Wolf had always been friendly.
But perhaps due to its personality, it was also somewhat aloof, rarely acting cute or playful.
It only approached when Jiang Feng called it.
The Little White Wolf had a cool demeanor.
A domineering wolf CEO and his gentle little darling wife.
After Jiang Feng finished selecting seeds, he turned his head and was surprised to see the Little White Wolf and Little White Lamb playing together.
"These two little guys are playing together."
"Has the wolf blood within Xiao Yue not awakened?"
Jiang Feng walked over, patted the Little White Wolf’s head, and said with a smile.
Jiang Feng was gentle with the animals in his heart, though he still had to eat meat, which was not contradictory.
After a busy half-day, Jiang Feng felt it was about time to bring the three little lambs back to the sheep pen inside.
He led the little lambs back.
Entering the sheep farm, he saw several little lambs had run out to the middle aisle of the pen, curiously playing around.
The gaps in the pen’s fence were large, so adult sheep couldn’t get out, but little lambs could easily come and go.
Ewe worriedly poked her head out, watching the lambs in the aisle.
The little lambs, hearing the movement of humans, squeezed back through the fence.
Such scenes were no longer surprising.
Jiang Feng fed milk to the three little lambs, then put them back into the pen.
He thought these three little lambs were ordinary.
But what happened next exceeded Jiang Feng’s expectations.
In the evening, after logging off the livestream, Jiang Feng was in his room playing games with Xiaojin Hua; the Little Mongolian Mastiff and Little White Wolf were lying around.
At that moment, the Little White Wolf seemed to hear something and ran out of Jiang Feng’s bedroom, heading outside.
In the living room, the Orange Cat and three kittens were atop the cat tree, watching the Little White Wolf run outside.
Meanwhile, a snow-white lamb was softly bleating in the yard.
The little lamb could easily run out from the pen; the sheep farm gate was never closed to prevent little lambs.
Because adult sheep couldn’t get out, all lambs had ewes watching over them, sleeping beside them at night and not running around.
But today, the three little lambs Jiang Feng brought out didn’t have a ewe caring for them.
This little lamb somehow got out of the pen.
The Little White Wolf ran out of the yard, looking at the Little White Lamb.
The two little fellows seemed to have some kind of secret signal.
The Little White Wolf ran over to play with the little lamb.
The little lamb wasn’t afraid of the Little White Wolf at all. In fact, it seemed to think they were of the same kind because they were both white.
With many animals on the pasture, numerous interspecies friendships often formed between the animals.
Humans had seen wild boars becoming friends with foxes, and lions drinking water with antelopes.
Anything was possible.
Jiang Feng, playing AAA games in his room, glanced back, realizing the Little White Wolf was gone, and muttered to himself:
"Where did Xiaoyue run off to?"
"Maybe went outside to howl, entering puberty."
