Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 79 - 77: Braving the Storm Beats a Comfortable Desk Job!
The geese fly south.
A breathtaking scene on the prairie was witnessed by many people through Jiang Feng’s live broadcast.
The number of viewers in the live room kept increasing, soon reaching a level of over 100,000.
Such a scene is extremely rare!
It only happens once a year, and almost no one can capture it on film.
Jiang Feng happened to be near the gathering place of the geese, so he came over and saw this sight.
[So spectacular! To be able to see such a scene in a live broadcast!]
[The geese are flying south. Friends in the south, take good care of them!]
[The broadcaster’s live streams are always unexpected!]
[I don’t know why, but I feel very excited!]
The viewers in the live room were extremely excited.
Various gift effects kept popping up.
Flocks of geese started flying south in groups.
Gradually, fewer and fewer geese lingered on the grassland.
Jiang Feng raised his head to watch the scene of geese flying overhead, his mood becoming more open-minded.
He loved the natural landscapes on the prairie, especially such scenes of harmonious coexistence between humans and animals.
This continued for half an hour, and the geese on the prairie all took flight, heading south.
Jiang Feng could only see their distant figures.
In the western sky, the setting sun hung high. Although the sun was red at this time, it seemed powerless, just hanging far away without affecting the clouds on the horizon.
"Autumn is here, the birds around here have flown away."
"I should go back for dinner."
"Red Hare, come on, let’s go home!"
Jiang Feng called Red Hare back.
It was around five-thirty in the afternoon, and the prairie wind began to whistle, the temperature dropping slightly.
This was the time to return to the ranch to rest.
Jiang Feng mounted his horse, ready to leave.
Just as he turned his head suddenly, he saw something moving.
It was just a fleeting glimpse.
If it were someone else, they might not have noticed that little dot.
But Jiang Feng did notice it.
He furrowed his brows slightly, then rode towards the place where the geese had rested earlier.
The drone followed him.
[Wasn’t the broadcaster going back to the ranch? Why is he heading over there?]
[Could it be that he saw something?]
The viewers suddenly became curious.
Jiang Feng rode his horse and quickly arrived at the place where the geese had rested.
There were a few low shrubs here.
Jiang Feng glanced under the shrubs and then dismounted, crouching beside them.
At this moment, a faint bird call sounded in the bushes.
The sound was light, but Jiang Feng heard it clearly.
The drone changed its angle to shoot, allowing viewers to see inside the shrubs.
Amid the puzzled gazes of everyone, Jiang Feng reached out his hand towards the bushes.
He had the skill "bird affinity," which made birds feel a sense of fondness from him.
Then, everyone saw a small black bird jump into Jiang Feng’s palm from the depths of the shrubs.
Jiang Feng took out a goose.
To be precise, it was a gosling.
This little creature’s wings were already gray, with newly grown white feathers on its abdomen, still showing some yellow down.
It was nestled in Jiang Feng’s palm, resembling a little chick.
"You might not believe it, but I’ve picked up a goose."
Jiang Feng displayed the goose in his hand to the camera, speaking to the viewers.
"It was likely abandoned."
"Its mother probably doesn’t want to abandon it but has no choice. With such a large flock leaving at once and flying so far south, it wouldn’t succeed."
"It might have missed the timing to join the group."
"What should be done?"
The sky was getting darker.
If the goose were left in the wild, it would surely die.
Not to mention so many wild beasts, just hunger and cold would make survival impossible.
"I’ll take it back first and then contact the Forestry Bureau."
Jiang Feng made a decision.
[Did the broadcaster pick up another goose?]
[That’s a Class II protected animal!]
[Having raised Class I protected animals before, why fear Class II?]
[So he went to pick up the stray goose, there really was one left behind.]
[Flying to the south isn’t as comfortable as getting a job on the ranch. While other geese face stormy weather, it has food and drink!]
[Haha, what will happen when the geese come back next year and see this goose?]
The comment section was buzzing with discussion.
Jiang Feng held the goose in one hand, took the reins in the other, and rode his horse back to the ranch.
The grassland was full of a desolate feeling.
The goose nestled in Jiang Feng’s hand felt warm and soon dozed off, its eyes closing drowsily.
Jiang Feng galloped all the way back to the ranch.
The big pot of food over there had already been finished, and the employees had eaten and were busy with other things.
Gelya had set aside the richest portion for Jiang Feng.
Upon returning, Jiang Feng temporarily set aside eating and planned to make a simple nest for the goose in his room.
Geese are easy to take care of, they eat pasture, tender grass, and small shrimp and snails.
Passing by the dog kennel in the yard, Jiang Feng took a glance at the situation inside.
Seeing the Little Golden Retriever quietly lying in its mother’s embrace, he didn’t pay much attention.
But then, Jiang Feng entered the room with the goose in hand, opened the door, and was taken aback.
A cute Golden Retriever with a smiling face was wiggling its butt in front of him.
Jiang Feng’s eyes showed a trace of surprise.
"Wangwang?"
If Wangwang is here, then who was the dog mom in the kennel just now?
Oh wow, a dog horror story?
Jiang Feng immediately returned to the yard, crouched in front of the kennel to look.
The drone’s camera was also aimed at the inside.
At that moment, the situation inside the kennel was clearly presented to everyone.
Inside the kennel lay a golden Border Collie, seven Little Golden Retrievers leaning against it, sleeping soundly.
The Border Collie looked very pleased, smiling and panting continuously.
"Wealthy?"
Jiang Feng laughed and cried.
"How did you become a nanny, taking care of Wangwang’s pups?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
At this moment, the Golden Retriever Wangwang came running over, shaking its fully recovered and very lively body.
Wangwang was also glad to have someone to look after its children.
Those little puppies were really too troublesome.
The viewers in the live room were amused.
[The Border Collie is raising the Golden Retriever’s pups?]
[Motherly love overflowed, it seems!]
[This golden Border Collie looks like a good dog, unlike that lazy Golden Retriever who won’t work!]
[If the Border Collie raises the Golden Retriever, will the Golden Retriever herd sheep?]
[Herding is a genetic thing, but there’s also the case of native dogs and old wolves herding sheep, so who knows.]
Jiang Feng looked at Wangwang with the goose in hand.
Wangwang didn’t miss its pups at all.
This fellow has an independent personality, close to people, not so much to dogs.
In contrast, when Xiaojin Hua was born, Wealthy followed everywhere, afraid Xiaojin Hua would stray far.
Wealthy has a strong maternal instinct.
Thus, seeing so many Little Golden Retrievers, Wealthy couldn’t resist going in to take care of them.
"If the Little Golden Retrievers grow up with the Border Collie, and Xiaojin Hua as an example, could they learn to herd sheep?"
Jiang Feng thought secretly.
Then, he looked at the ever-adorable Wangwang.
He had an idea.
"Wangwang, when the little guys open their eyes, I’ll send you back home for a few days. My parents are just back from a tiring trip, they’ll be returning soon, and they’ll miss you."
Jiang Feng stroked Wangwang’s head, smiling.
Wangwang wagged its tail even more happily at the mention of "parents."
Wangwang was raised by Jiang Feng’s parents and always stuck by them. Now that his parents were back home, they surely wanted to bring Wangwang back.
Just as well, the training plan for the Little Golden Retrievers was slowly forming in Jiang Feng’s mind.
If successful, in the future, the prairie would see seven shepherding Golden Retrievers.
That would be a splendid sight.
