Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 105 - 103: Almost Forgot the Level 2 Protected Animal!
Jiang Feng opened the fishing box and tossed the big and small cats one by one onto the back seat.
Although the car was worth millions, the prairie was dusty and weather-beaten, so Jiang Feng didn’t care much about cleanliness.
Then, Jiang Feng also placed Xiaojin Hua in the car.
The fishing rods and buckets were still by the lakeside, Jiang Feng put the fishing box in the trunk, left a few gaps in the car windows, and walked back towards the lake.
The wolf pack wasn’t far from him.
The viewers were constantly tense.
Fearing that if they weren’t careful, a terrifying scene of a human-wolf battle would unfold.
"Times have changed, the number of wild wolves is now small, and in terms of aggression, they’re not as scary as abandoned Tibetan Mastiffs."
"If you are cycling in Xizang and encounter one or two wolves, it’s no big deal, but if you encounter one or two dirty Tibetan Mastiffs, you better run."
"Wolves are now protected animals, as a prairie herdsman, it’s my responsibility to protect them."
"Therefore, I won’t actively harm them either."
Jiang Feng spoke calmly.
But the viewers were a bit confused.
[The host’s meaning is, not that wolves won’t harm me, but that I won’t harm wolves?]
[I’m also a bit confused!]
[So that’s what the host thinks!]
[Everyone, stay calm, think of wolves as Huskies, and they’re not that scary!]
Jiang Feng walked back, with the wolves getting closer to him.
These wolves seemed to be testing Jiang Feng’s attitude.
Finding that Jiang Feng had no malice, they became more daring.
Wolves are afraid of humans.
Jiang Feng reached the shore, took a few fish from the bucket, and threw them towards the wolves.
"Wolves eat anything, they eat fish too, though not much."
"There were fish that died in the shallow water during previous migrations, and wolves would go over to eat the fish."
"Food is scarce this season, so let’s give them the fish!"
Jiang Feng said.
Indeed, as Jiang Feng said, a few wolves saw the fish being thrown over and started biting into the fish meat.
They pressed the fish’s body with their front paws and tore the fish meat with their teeth.
The scene looked wild. The livestream viewers found it entertaining and started making comments.
[Fish: You’re just dignified; you use my life to do good deeds!]
[Fish lovers have something to say!]
[The fish caught would definitely be eaten, what’s the difference between being eaten by humans or wolves!]
[Wolves actually eat fish? I thought only cats eat fish!]
[When hungry enough, wolves even eat vegetables! Isn’t that normal?]
[Woke up to find a herdsman feeding wild wolves in the wilderness!]
Jiang Feng stood by the lake, looking at the wolves not far away.
He didn’t make any moves, nor was he in a hurry to leave.
After all, the chance to see wolves up close is rare.
He is a person who loves nature, especially such rare wild animals.
Little White Wolf and Little Grey Wolf were playing happily, tussling with each other.
The mother wolf’s milk is insufficient, only enough to raise one pup this season.
So it entrusted Little White Wolf to Jiang Feng.
"In that uninhabited area, there are quite a few wild animals, wolves, wild boars, foxes, and you can even see mink."
"But it’s not comparable to the forests of Da Xing’an Ridge."
"The prairie has its expansiveness and openness; that’s why I’m quite happy to encounter a few wolves in open spaces."
Jiang Feng said with a smile to everyone.
He looked on enthusiastically.
Three adult wolves noted Jiang Feng’s gaze and found it curious.
Why does this human seem different from others?
They tore and ate the fish and needed to leave the prairie before dark to return to the forest.
Thus, the wolves decided to head back.
The three wolves ran a few steps forward, with the Little Grey Wolf following.
At that moment, everyone’s eyes in the livestream were on Little White Wolf.
Jiang Feng’s gaze fell on Little White Wolf as well.
Little White Wolf remained a pure little wolf, expressing his true feelings.
If it liked the wild, it would follow the wolves; if it regarded Jiang Feng as family, it would stay.
Little White Wolf saw the three adult wolves and Little Grey Wolf running back and followed suit.
But after a few steps, Little White Wolf stopped, not following further.
The mother wolf halted, turned, and exchanged looks with Little White Wolf.
They seemed to be communicating.
A few seconds later, the mother wolf turned its head and ran off with the others.
Jiang Feng called out from behind:
"Xiaobai, come back, come!"
Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Little White Wolf ran back towards him, but kept looking back at the direction the wolves left.
Jiang Feng realized Little White Wolf had already chosen the ranch as its home.
Animal emotions are never false.
Little White Wolf belonged to the ranch.
Jiang Feng held Little White Wolf in his arms, caressing it.
Little White Wolf still looked at the direction the wolves left; those wolves were its family, but that was not its home.
Jiang Feng picked up the bucket, took the fishing rod, and turned to walk towards the car.
After walking a few steps, something came to mind, she exclaimed:
"Forgot the secondary animals."
"If they stay here overnight, they’re bound to freeze to death."
Jiang Feng turned back and went to the lakeside to call for the geese.
"Geese! Geese!"
Jiang Feng called out loudly.
Upon hearing such calls, the viewers felt like a phrase was echoing in their minds.
The livestream chat was filled with the phrase, "How can I live without you."
Everyone was exceptionally cheerful.
Before long, the geese waddled their tails, turbo-accelerated across the lake, and wandered over.
The geese swam to shore, shook the water off their bodies, and followed Jiang Feng back.
The fish in the bucket had all been fed to the wolves just now, not a single fish was left in Jiang Feng’s bucket.
Although there were no fish, Jiang Feng felt the trip was rewarding.
He held Little White Wolf, feeling very satisfied.
Then Jiang Feng put everything in the car and sat in the driver’s seat.
[Owner, do a spot turnaround!]
[Yeah, heard this car can turn on the spot, let’s see it!]
Many viewers said eagerly.
The car won in the lottery was marketed for its spot turnaround capability.
Jiang Feng felt this function wasn’t very practical, perhaps useful for some off-road special terrains, but most people hardly need this feature.
Moreover, the fancier the functions, the more likely the car is to break down.
Still, after getting in, he performed the maneuver.
"Alright, I’ll show everyone."
Jiang Feng pressed the spot turnaround button.
The vehicle’s four wheels independently rotated, slowly pivoting where it stood.
It actually turned direction!
[Domestic cars are just flashy!]
[Never seen this feature before!]
[It’d be expensive to repair if it breaks!]
Viewers chatted away, but Jiang Feng paid them no mind and drove the car back to the ranch.
Upon returning to the ranch, Jiang Feng tidied up a bit, changed into some comfortable sportswear, and snacked.
The little ones continued to roam and play freely.
After a while, Ma He came looking for Jiang Feng and said:
"Owner, the anti-parasite medicine and vaccines have been purchased, all configured as you requested."
"They’re placed over in the infirmary."
All the ranch staff refer to Jiang Feng as "Owner," while the viewers call him "Ranch Lord" because he owns the ranch.
Upon hearing Ma He’s words, Jiang Feng nodded, "Alright, join me later to vaccinate the dogs."
"Sure, not a problem."
Jiang Feng stepped into the yard, turned on the microphone, and resumed the livestream.
He went to the infirmary, took out the anti-parasite medicine and vaccines, and introduced them to the viewers:
"Next, I’ll be deworming the ranch’s dogs."
"On the grasslands, deworming is vital, including cattle, sheep, and pigs; all need regular deworming."
"Otherwise, they’re prone to diseases."
"Many shepherd dogs here get worm diseases, with eggs in their blood, requiring a long rest to heal, and unable to herd."
"I don’t want my little dogs to be like that, so I frequently deworm them."
"The method is a pill for deworming, followed by an injection."
"I’ll start with Little Golden Retriever for deworming and vaccination."
Saying this, Jiang Feng headed to his yard.
At that moment, Wealthy was tending to Little Golden Retriever, and Jiang Feng found a bamboo basket to put Little Golden Retriever inside, then carried the little ones out.
Vaccinating small dogs is straightforward; one person holds its foreleg while another administers a subcutaneous injection.
Jiang Feng is skilled, so he handles these tasks with ease.
Little Golden Retriever gets the first dose; Xiaojin Hua is on the second, and Jiang Feng has vaccines ready for Little White Wolf.
Vaccines are beneficial, and domesticated wolves live longer than wild ones due to human care.
Vaccinating small dogs is easy, but getting big dogs to swallow anti-parasite medicine is tricky.
Especially Golden Retriever Wangwang, getting it to take medicine is harder than making it eat feces.
After administering the anti-parasite medicine to the little dogs, Jiang Feng sighed and said:
"Time to deworm the big dogs. For them, no injections needed, just medicine, plus topical anti-parasite oil."
"But getting them to take medicine is a hassle."
"These dogs are very clever, a battle of wits ensues."
While saying this, Jiang Feng took out two pieces of beef, inserting two anti-parasite tablets inside.
First, he called Lucky and Wealthy over to eat the meat.
Viewers watched as the two Border Collies held the meat in their mouths.
As they chewed, the tablets slipped out from the corners of their mouths.
Everyone laughed.
[Hahaha, Border Collies are so sly!]
[They managed to pick it out like this?]
[Sometimes being too smart is bad!]
[Clearly, the anti-parasite medicine must taste awful!]
The comments quickly became lively.
