Chapter 164: Chapter 162: The Sheep Soars to the Clouds, Chasing the Kite!

Blue skies and white clouds, a gentle breeze and warm sunshine.

A huge sheep kite floats in the air, like a cloud that could drift away at any moment.

Underneath the sky, cows and sheep graze.

Occasionally, some sheep look up at the sky, and their gaze lingers for a few seconds at the sight of the enormous sheep kite.

Then they lower their heads to graze again.

With a sheep’s intelligence, they can’t understand why a fellow sheep is flying in the sky.

It’s around eight in the morning, the day is just starting to warm up, but it’s not too sunny yet.

Jiang Feng sits in the shade of a tree, the Little Border Collie lies resting, and the Little White Wolf lounges with its eyes closed, napping.

Just then, the Little Border Collie hears something, lifts its head, and looks sideways.

It’s quite alert even when lying down.

Jiang Feng notices it lifting its head and glances over to where it’s looking.

Not far away, a large, plump brown rabbit is eating flowers and smacking its lips.

The rabbit’s mouth moves swiftly.

Seeing the big rabbit, the Border Collie’s hunting instincts are instantly awakened, and the Little White Wolf opens its eyes, lowers its body, and gets into attack mode.

Jiang Feng recognizes this rabbit; it’s the rabbit king of his ranch, who once injured Golden Eagle with a kick—really formidable.

Netizens also notice the rabbit’s appearance.

[It’s that big rabbit!]

[This rabbit looks so plump, it’s grown so big!]

[This guy is super fierce, even Golden Eagle can’t catch it!]

[There are plenty of rabbits on the grassland, seeing a mutant individual is normal!]

At this moment, the large brown rabbit stands up, looks around, and wiggles its ears.

Seeing the Border Collie and the White Wolf staring at it, it takes off running.

With its escape, the Border Collie and the White Wolf’s hunting instincts are fully triggered.

The two immediately charge toward the large brown rabbit.

They race across the grass, incredibly fast.

The drone’s camera tightly follows them.

All people can see is that the grass around them has become a blur.

The speed of the three creatures is imaginable.

At this time, Lucky and Wealthy notice the situation and join the chase.

They come from afar, encircling the rabbit together.

The scene suddenly becomes intense!

Netizens watch with growing excitement.

[Go for it! Get it!]

[Better than a fight scene!]

[Rabbits are so cute, how do they run so fast?]

[This rabbit’s a genius!]

Jiang Feng puts on his straw hat and starts jogging after them.

Wild rabbits on the grassland are protected animals, though it’s illegal for humans to hunt them, cats and dogs catching rabbits is fine.

As long as humans don’t eat them, at most they pay a fine.

In the distance, as the dogs chase, the rabbit suddenly vanishes into thin air!

As if by magic, it disappears!

Caught by the HD camera, it just "whoosh" and it’s gone!

[What the...?]

Netizens are dumbfounded!

[Where did the rabbit go? Can it do magic?]

[Could it be Alice’s rabbit?]

Everyone expresses their doubt and surprise.

Jiang Feng jogs up to where he sees Xiaojin Hua angrily digging a hole in the grass.

Squatting down, he sees, sure enough, there’s a rabbit hole beneath the slope, potentially extending in many directions.

"It tunneled in. The grass on the prairie is quite lush, so in this case, you never know where the rabbit hole leads."

"This rabbit really is smart and knows its burrow’s location well, never straying too far from it during its activities."

"Truly cunning!"

Jiang Feng tells the netizens.

Netizens nod as they see the rabbit hole.

Jiang Feng continues:

"Actually, catching it is simple; rabbits have many natural predators."

"Just send a weasel or an ermine into the rabbit hole, and the rabbit will be driven out automatically."

"But I don’t have any ill intentions toward this rabbit. A few rabbits won’t affect the grassland significantly."

"Let it live here for the fun of it."

Jiang Feng squats down, petting Xiaojin Hua, and comforts it:

"I’ll buy you a new rabbit toy to tear up."

Hearing this, Xiaojin Hua seems much more at ease and smiles again.

Jiang Feng bought plenty of plush toys for the dogs, Xiaojin Hua’s favorite being a tiger toy, while it dislikes the rabbit toy the most.

Usually, it grabs that rabbit and shakes it wildly, only stopping once it’s torn apart.

Jiang Feng finds it quite amusing.

With the rabbit gone, Jiang Feng goes back to lie in the shade.

He takes the dogs along as he heads back.

A gust of wind blows by, and from afar, he sees the kite’s reel escape from under a large rock.

Then, the giant sheep kite drifts far away with the wind, taking the reel with it.

"Hey? My kite! Oh no!"

Jiang Feng takes two steps toward it, but the kite’s ascent speed is too quick, quickly soaring high into the sky.

He watches from the grassland, looking up in exasperation at the "sheep" in the sky.

This expression amuses the netizens.

[Hahaha, the ranch owner is always so cheerful!]

[Kite: Goodbye, Mom, I’m setting sail tonight!]

[Kite: I can’t stay on this lousy grassland for another minute!]

[As a sheep, what’s wrong with going to the sky?]

The atmosphere is lively.

However, Jiang Feng expresses some concern:

"I still have to go find the kite, just in case it falls and I can retrieve it."

"It’s not that I feel sorry for the kite, but I’m worried it might cause some harm."

"The kite is no longer usable anyway."

After hearing him, some netizens explain that once a kite flies far enough, it will eventually get damaged and fall, without causing much harm.

Kites lost while flying are numerous.

Yet, Jiang Feng is responsible, and quickly calls Red Hare over from afar.

He then saddles up Red Hare and rides off into the distance.

The dogs see him depart on horseback and don’t chase after, merely watching Jiang Feng ride away.

The expansive grassland is lush and green, irresistibly scenic.

The scene captures a small lake, with intersecting streams further ahead.

A young man rides his horse, chasing the kite in the sky.

Everything is done on a whim.

Jiang Feng slows down, takes out his binoculars, and looks around.

He can see the gigantic sheep floating in the sky, plunging into the clouds, drifting among them.

This sight is very dreamy.

The sheep has finally ascended to the heavens.

Jiang Feng continues to pursue on horseback, wanting to see where the kite will land.

The sheep kite is a frame structure, unlike a balloon.

Thus, once the wind calms, with no support, the kite will begin to fall.

The kite floats for more than ten minutes before it starts descending.

The descent angle is straight down, without any force, it falls like in free fall.

"It’s coming down!"

Jiang Feng sees the kite fall and speeds up on his horse.

The drone follows and films.

The scene is very beautiful.

[Life at the ranch is truly comfortable for the owner!]

[Looks so cozy!]

[The kite went straight into the clouds, like something out of a dream!]

[I’m an art student, and I watch the scenery in the owner’s livestream while painting.]

[This scene needs painting, the kite falling from the sky, the ranch owner chasing on horseback, showing the silhouettes of human and horse!]

Netizens wear looks of amazement, feeling utterly at ease.

The kite has drifted far, into another’s pasture.

Maodeng Ranch is vast, with many herders, and riding through isn’t unusual.

However, the pasture is fenced, so Jiang Feng needs to circle around to the entrance to retrieve the kite.

The other ranch’s owner gladly agrees.

Thus, Jiang Feng enters another’s pasture to pick up the large kite.

The kite, already crashed and unusable, doesn’t bother Jiang Feng much.

At least, this kite has soared to the heavens and had its experience.

As Jiang Feng rides back to the ranch, nearing noon, the sun’s heat has set in, causing the pasture’s cattle and sheep to return.

If it gets too hot, the cattle and sheep might suffer heatstroke, not worth the risk.

At around four in the afternoon, the second round of grazing begins, lasting until about seven.

The ranch’s fields have large watermelons, some chilled early in buckets of cool water.

Upon returning, a chilled watermelon will be cut, slices to be relished to quench thirst.

The feeling is extremely refreshing.
