Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland
Chapter 151 - 149: The Goat That Dared Challenge the Rancher Met a Peaceful End
After the early spring shepherding began, the popularity of the livestream room started to steadily increase.
People still prefer watching the scenes of the vast grasslands.
The next day, Jiang Feng began to herd the sheep personally again.
This time, he also let out the adult geese from the yard.
The geese were already big, covered in white feathers.
Jiang Feng led them out, and they waddled their tails, following him.
The ducklings were temporarily not let out; he’d wait till they grew a bit before taking them to the lake to play.
Ducks grow fast anyway.
It was another leisurely stroll on the grassland.
As Jiang Feng walked ahead, the geese followed behind.
Geese are protective animals, and they tend to be fierce. Some people keep them as pets and can’t bear to eat them even when they are grown.
The Little Border Collie and the Little White Wolf saw the dozens of big white geese trailing behind Jiang Feng and kept their distance, not daring to go near.
A single large goose is hard enough to deal with, let alone a whole flock.
In rural areas, geese bite dogs fiercely, and the dogs don’t dare to fight back.
Jiang Feng, on the other hand, remained completely at ease.
"Last time, I lost a duck when I brought them out. This time, I’m bringing out geese."
"Geese are much safer; apart from wolves and foxes, nothing else threatens them."
"Let them eat some water plants by the lake, and they’ll taste better in the future."
Jiang Feng said to everyone.
[He sure is a herdsman, even herding geese!]
[Such a vast grassland should be put to good use!]
[The owner knows how to make the most of the lake!]
Jiang Feng brought the geese to the lakeside.
To Jiang Feng’s surprise, the geese eagerly rushed towards the water as soon as they saw it.
In that moment, it was like some innate instinct was awakened within them.
As if they truly belonged there.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but laugh and said:
"Eating more small fish will make them taste better when stewed later."
Upon hearing this, the viewers also laughed and said:
[Are you a devil, ranch owner?]
[What happened to the promised compassion?]
Jiang Feng watched the geese playing happily at the lakeside for a while, then turned to head towards his flock of sheep.
With the shepherding just starting in early spring, he wanted to check if there were any sick lambs among the flock.
He strolled leisurely, wandering among the sheep and observing randomly.
At this moment, the drone’s dynamic capture triggered and suddenly shot towards the back of Jiang Feng.
The viewers, seeing the camera shift, curiously focused their attention.
In the footage, a ram with curved horns emerged from the flock, staring intently at Jiang Feng’s back.
The ram seemed unfriendly.
Everyone recognized the ram’s intention to attack.
[That sheep looks like it’s about to attack the owner!]
[Rams are very aggressive!]
[Doesn’t that mean the owner is in danger!]
[Haha, the owner hasn’t noticed at all!]
The viewers found amusement in the situation.
The ram continued moving forward, lowering its head.
Viewers always enjoy the spectacle without much concern.
Everyone hoped to see Jiang Feng dramatically knocked aside.
Soon, the ram, as expected, began to speed up aggressively.
Aiming directly at Jiang Feng’s back, it charged with force.
A ram’s striking power is immense. Without any defense, an adult can easily be knocked down by one.
The force feels like being kicked heavily by someone.
As the ram charged towards Jiang Feng, he was calmly observing some adorable lambs in front, when suddenly a chill ran down his spine.
He swiftly turned his head and saw the ram charging towards him!
Jiang Feng instinctively pressed his hand against the ram’s horns, stepping back several paces!
[Wow, he actually caught it!]
The viewers were surprised, not expecting Jiang Feng’s reaction to be so quick!
Jiang Feng held the troublesome ram at bay and calmly said:
"Today it’s bold enough to hit people, who knows what it’ll do tomorrow."
"This guy really doesn’t want to live!"
Man and ram were locked head to head.
The scene seemed familiar to the viewers, reminiscent of the fight between a principal and a sika deer in the comic "Nichijou."
Next, the ram tried to escape, pulling back. Jiang Feng was unwilling to let it go, swiftly throwing it to the ground with a side throw. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Rams are always lively and sometimes do inexplicable things like hitting people."
"This one needs to be taught a lesson!"
Jiang Feng said, pressing down on the ram.
The other sheep and rams watched the scene calmly, continuing to graze as if they were used to it.
After holding it down for a few seconds, Jiang Feng released the ram.
It hurriedly stood up and ran to the back of the flock.
It realized it had messed with the wrong person.
Jiang Feng dusted his hands off and calmly said:
"Sheep are often foolish, doing strange things. Rams are lively and impulsive; when they have a temper, they hit people."
"Nothing surprising!"
The viewers laughed, finding the occasional antics of the flock amusing.
Jiang Feng continued to stroll among the sheep.
He was surrounded by lambs everywhere.
As he walked through, the flock cleared a path for him.
After his round, Jiang Feng found the lambs were in good health, gaining weight nicely.
He nodded in satisfaction.
Since there were so many sheep, the round took over an hour.
When playing with the animals, time always flies.
Soon, Jiang Feng came to Yang Maolin’s side.
"Old Yang, boil several pots of water tonight. We’ll stew a ram and make some lamb offal."
"We’ll have lamb offal and flatbread for breakfast tomorrow."
Jiang Feng said to Yang Maolin.
"Sure, no problem." Yang Maolin agreed quickly.
Jiang Feng pointed to the big, robust ram in the distance, "Let’s stew that one. Its aggression is too strong, it doesn’t know moderation, might kill a lamb."
Yang Maolin took a good look at the ram, it was large, and since there weren’t many rams in the flock, it was easy to remember.
"Okay."
Upon hearing their conversation, the viewers remarked:
[He really means to stew it!]
[You can’t keep aggressive sheep; especially for herding families with kids, it’s inadvisable!]
[I saw a video of a ram knocking down a female owner and hitting her multiple times, very vicious!]
[They really can hit small children, causing injury!]
Seeing the topic being discussed, Jiang Feng added:
"With so many lambs now, I’m afraid it might overthink and harm the others."
"So, I’ll send it to the Celestial Kingdom, give it a physical transcendence."
Hearing this, viewers expressed:
[The owner is truly kind-hearted!]
[I’m so moved I could cry!]
Grassland herding is always interesting, and as the day grew later, the ranch employees began herding the cattle and sheep home. Jiang Feng headed to the lake to call the geese home.
"You guys, it’s time to go home!"
Jiang Feng shouted towards the geese on the lake.
His shout amused the viewers in the livestream room.
The scene was just like parents calling children to come home.
Unexpectedly to everyone, as Jiang Feng shouted, the geese on the lake swam over one by one.
Once ashore, they quickly shook off their wet feathers and gathered around Jiang Feng, "honking."
Jiang Feng counted the number of geese; he brought out eighteen today, and there were still eighteen when returning.
"Let’s go home!"
Jiang Feng led them back.
The geese followed excitedly, honking along.
Geese have a reputation as rural bullies, sometimes putting on a fierce front. In reality, they’re very loyal and protective. If well-raised, they make good pets.
You could even put shoes on their webbed feet and take them for a leisurely walk.
The employees herded the cattle and sheep back, while Jiang Feng herded the geese back.
Everyone returned in high spirits, feeling very refreshed.
Of course, except for a particularly violent ram.
This guy didn’t know its place, dared to challenge the ranch boss, and got cooked when it returned.
It passed away very peacefully.
