Jiang Feng checked the weather forecast; today there would be a light drizzle over the grasslands.

Rainy days are good weather; the grass grows rapidly after the rain, but for cattle and sheep, they cannot be grazed outside temporarily.

Otherwise, if the wool gets wet, the sheep can easily catch a cold and potentially die.

In the pasture, Jiang Feng was practicing archery.

The Nadamu Festival is held on the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, roughly around July 20th of the solar calendar.

It’s already the end of May, leaving less than two months for preparation.

Sparing some time occasionally to practice archery and get a feel for it in advance lays the groundwork for the Nadamu Festival.

After all, it’s a major event on the prairie, and people take it very seriously. Many start practicing horse riding, archery, and bókh wrestling early to shine in the competitions.

The rewards for the contests are substantial; the cattle and sheep awarded here are genuine, and a champion of a single event can easily earn over 100,000 yuan in livestock prizes.

After finishing archery practice, Jiang Feng set the bow and arrow aside.

"There’s nothing major going on in the summer, so herders have a lot of free time, and there are many events."

"The most important of which is the Nadamu Festival."

"To attend the Nadamu Festival in Ximeng League, I need to prepare early, first earning a spot in the village before becoming a contestant representing the banner."

"By that time, I’ll bring dozens of cattle and sheep back home."

Jiang Feng chatted casually with everyone.

Hearing his words, the online audience also started to look forward to this year’s Nadamu Festival in Ximeng League.

Life on the farm is leisurely and free.

Soon, Jiang Feng saw a Red Fox with three Little Foxes visiting the farm.

So, he made three bottles of milk with special formula powder.

He waved the baby bottles at the Little Foxes.

The Little Foxes immediately rushed over, as if flying, in a few quick steps.

The Little Foxes were very cute, with red fur all over, white bellies, and black legs and paws, as if wearing black silk stockings.

Jiang Feng aimed the bottles at them, and the three little ones raised their heads to drink quickly.

The foxes were still very young, very adorable.

One Little Fox, caught up in excitement, lay directly on the ground, hugging the bottle with all four paws and drank fiercely.

The mother fox came over, watched from the side, and seeing this scene, squinted and cooed softly.

Its big tail swayed back and forth.

The fox’s tail was very fluffy and soft, almost as big as its body. The tip of the tail had a tuft of white fur, swaying beautifully and strikingly, adding a dash of flair.

That big tail added a few touches of elegance to them.

When it comes time to rest, the Red Fox would also use its tail to wrap its body, appearing even warmer.

"Foxes are very smart. When they discover that a household won’t harm them, they often visit that household to beg for food."

"It’s like finding themselves a safe haven."

"They usually play in the wild; when hungry, they go to humans for food."

"They take the chance to act cute and charming."

"But they are indeed adorable, so I let them stay here."

Jiang Feng explained to the online viewers.

Jiang Feng was on a grassy field, feeding the Little Foxes while petting them, appearing very relaxed.

The Little Foxes made joyous cooing sounds.

The hearts of a group of tough guys in the live stream were melted, all looking envious.

At this time, someone sent a barrage:

[Don’t be deceived by the fox’s appearance; they seem obedient, but their temper is actually big! Last time, I took a blue from the fox, and it directly hung up on me!]

[There’s a legend about the Fox Immortal in the Northeast; I’m always worried it will stand up and ask me, ’Do I look like a human to you?’]

[Even if I were King Zhou, I wouldn’t be able to resist such a coquettish fox!]

[Hurry up and transform into a human for me!]

Jiang Feng finished feeding the Little Foxes and turned his attention to the adult fox.

"Come over here!"

Jiang Feng called out to it.

The Red Fox squinted, smiling broadly, wagging its tail as it cooed softly and walked over.

Jiang Feng first petted its head, then started examining the Red Fox’s fur.

As he searched, just as expected, he found a tick embedded in the Red Fox’s skin.

"I knew it, spring is tick season, and if you don’t remove them, it’s easy for these things to nest."

Jiang Feng said, reaching out to directly pull the tick out from the fox’s fur.

The viewers, seeing the tick hiding in the fur like a giant black pimple, felt extremely uncomfortable.

Once Jiang Feng removed the tick, everyone felt relieved, as if every pore opened up.

This live stream was very stress-relieving to watch.

Jiang Feng threw the tick onto the ground, then loudly shouted into the distance:

"Saipan!"

"Saipan!"

Hearing Jiang Feng shout like this, the viewers were somewhat puzzled.

What’s going on here?

Why are you shouting again out of the blue?

While everyone was still puzzled, they suddenly heard the flapping of wings outside, and then saw a brightly feathered rooster strutting over from a short distance away.

Jiang Feng pointed at the tick still moving on the ground.

The rooster immediately fixed its gaze on the tick, then pecked it up in one swift motion, swallowing it whole.

Jiang Feng continued to search in the Red Fox’s fur.

The Red Fox has thick fur.

It only sheds in the summer; during cooler times, the fur remains quite dense.

Soon enough, Jiang Feng found another tick.

He plucked it off and tossed it to the nearby rooster, which gobbled it up straight away.

The comments section exploded.

[Watching the ticks being pulled from the fox is so satisfying!]

[Indeed, it feels so refreshing and stress-relieving!]

[Can the host explain why this rooster is named Saipan?]

[I thought of another name, but I can’t say it.]

Jiang Feng continued to check the Red Fox’s body; the fox seemed to know Jiang Feng was helping it, staying quiet with its eyes half-closed, appearing quite content.

Once most of the ticks were removed, Jiang Feng planned to apply some repellent oil on the fox.

Ticks are like barnacles, truly bothersome for animals.

Seeing the questions about Saipan in the comments, Jiang Feng explained:

"This is the little chick I hatched myself. It has a strong will to survive and developed well, so now it stays at the ranch crowing."

"One day while scrolling through short videos, I came across a woman shouting Saipan loudly."

"I found that whenever I shouted Saipan, this rooster would come running, which is quite magical."

"So I named it Saipan."

Upon hearing this, the viewers finally understood.

So that’s how Saipan got its name.

The fox family started playing on the ranch’s grassland.

The weather gradually turned gloomy, and soon, a gentle rain began to fall.

The rain was so light it was almost invisible, seen only as countless drops being blown around by the wind.

The cattle and sheep were herded into indoor pens.

The little foxes played in the rain.

It’s quite amusing to watch foxes fight, with two little ones each pressing their front paws against the other’s chest, standing on their hind legs, and opening their mouths to let out cooing sounds.

In their fights, it’s all about who has the louder voice.

Adult foxes fight this way too.

Pressing against each other and then calling out.

Trying to charm the other to death.

Seeing the rain, Jiang Feng went back to his room, waiting for the sky to clear.

If there’s little rain in the spring on the grasslands, it’s not good for the regrowth of forage, which affects future harvests.

Rainfall at such a time is truly a blessing from nature.

Agriculture and animal husbandry depend on the weather; when the heavens are kind, with mild weather and adequate rain, the harvest is good. But if disaster strikes, there’s nowhere to hide tears.

In such an environment, herdsmen hold the Eternal Sky in great reverence.

"It’s raining, the forage will start growing!"

"I hope the rain gets heavier!"

"After the rain, when it clears, many little flowers will bloom on my grassland."

"The scenery like that is very unique."

Jiang Feng spoke with hope, gazing at the slightly blurry sky.

The little foxes, though being rained on, were smart enough to find shelter when the rain got heavier.

The other little creatures were also resting in their nests.

Jiang Feng turned off the stream and returned to his yard.

His yard was now extremely refined in decor, with a classical style, full of expensive wooden furniture.

The bedroom had a large TV and various game consoles, and the home theater allowed him to watch movies directly in his bedroom.

Just like in the show where Zhou Yangqing once asked, "Doesn’t your home have a cinema?"

Now Jiang Feng’s room did.

In the living room, the Orange Cat held the Calico Cat and kept licking it, showering it with such heavy maternal care that it left the Calico Cat a bit breathless.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng picked up the Calico Cat to stop the Orange Cat’s overwhelming affection.

"If you keep licking, you’ll lick her bald; even a pretty daughter can’t be treated like this!"

Jiang Feng said to the Orange Cat.

The Calico Cat was well-behaved, resting quietly in Jiang Feng’s arms, with its little pink paws gently kneading his arm, looking very adorable.

Jiang Feng placed it on the tea table, then brewed himself a pot of hot tea.

The top-grade Dahongpao tea brewed in a purple clay teapot, poured into a teacup, and enjoyed leisurely in the rainy weather, offered a unique flavor.
