Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 46 - 44: Flying the Flag and Winning 1 Sheep!

Chapter 46: Chapter 44: Flying the Flag and Winning 1 Sheep!

Over the next two days, life at the ranch remained leisurely and tranquil.

The daily aerial livestreams of cattle and sheep always attracted a lot of viewers.

Until the day of the event, early in the morning, Jiang Feng rode a horse while the rest drove a SUV straight to the competition venue.

The competition venue was on a wasteland outside the ranch, with withered yellow wild grass covering the ground, and there were open-air stoves and pavilions. The ranch’s chefs began preparing for the bonfire party early.

On the ground were many boxes of bottled water and food, free for the taking if anyone wanted.

Jiang Feng had sent over ten sheep the day before, a small contribution, but a thoughtful gesture.

The drone followed Jiang Feng all the way.

Because of the event, there were especially many viewers in the livestream today.

[Finally going to that event!]

[Good luck, ranch owner, I believe in you!]

[Go for it!]

Many viewers cheered for Jiang Feng in the livestream chat.

Soon, Jiang Feng approached the event site.

Following the camera, viewers saw about dozens of SUVs parked on the wild grass, from various brands.

There were domestic models like the Tank 300 and Tank 500, and foreign models like Toyota Prado and Mercedes GLC.

Cars were simply parked on the wild grass without marked spots, as the area was large enough to park freely.

The herders had already started registering at the signup booth inside a pavilion with a red banner, titled ’Maodeng Ranch’s 23rd Sports Festival in response to higher authorities’ call’.

Jiang Feng went to the registration booth to sign in, having already registered for horse racing and horse lassoing competitions days ago.

The activities here are relatively less regulated.

Viewers curiously watched everything on the wild grassland through the livestream.

The scene resembled a school sports day, yet its expansiveness gave a totally different feel.

Most herders dressed quite conservatively and wore headscarves.

After all, the winds and sandstorms on this wasteland were relatively stronger.

Everything appeared so interesting, and viewers in the livestream continued to grow.

It was a spectacle— a prairie sports festival like never before.

Especially exciting when all the participants were adult herders.

Jiang Feng continued streaming live, and many herders filmed video content, aligning with the self-media era where herders advanced with the times, sharing their daily life through videos.

It was through the internet that distances between various places became closer.

The crowd grew, and by around nine, the organizers started to arrange the participants’ entrance.

Jiang Feng walked into the crowd, joining the formation of horse riders.

Then, the familiar ’Athlete March’ played in the livestream.

Viewers were initially puzzled, then burst into laughter.

[What’s going on, why is the music the same as our school sports competition!]

[My DNA moved, I feel like I’m sitting on the stands basking in the sun!]

[Back then, we had to put sand in bottles to cheer for our schools!]

[Haha, do they play this song at sports events in Mongolia too?]

[It’s definitely the same since it’s responding to the higher authorities’ call!]

[If they weren’t playing this, would it be Tengger’s ’Paradise’?]

The chat was bustling with comments.

Watching a prairie herders’ sports competition through the livestream felt extraordinarily refreshing.

Viewers were enthusiastic, especially focused on Jiang Feng.

[Do you think the ranch owner can win?]

[With Red Hare’s breeding, it should be no problem!]

[I’m betting a Treasure Map that he’ll win!]

Jiang Feng stood in the crowd, awaiting on the field with a girl holding a placard.

Herders on both sides watched them with curiosity.

Everyone’s smiles were genuine.

After all, gathering so many people together was rare, bringing joy.

After the opening ceremony, the first event was horse racing.

The horse race was divided into two groups, one for adult horses, the fiercest competition, and one for three-year-old horses, involving young colts under three.

Red Hare, being under three years, was placed in the colt race, but the first prize for the colt race was a lamb, whereas the adult horse’s prize was a big yellow cow.

The yellow cow was tied not far away, with two red ribbons on its horns signifying the first prize.

Jiang Feng was determined to win that yellow cow.

"I want to compete in the adult horse race, I believe my horse can do it," Jiang Feng told Adouqin.

Adouqin looked at Jiang Feng’s Red Hare and replied, "There’s always been a rule, but the top three in the under-three race can apply for the adult race."

"There’s a big physical difference between colts and adult horses, are you sure you want to participate?"

Jiang Feng nodded, "Yes, then I’ll compete in the under-three race first."

Jiang Feng agreed.

The viewers got more excited as they watched.

When the race started, over twenty colts gathered at the starting line.

The racing distance was five kilometers of cross-country, including a hill and a small forest to pass through.

Since it was a colt race, Jiang Feng wasn’t nervous.

He appeared on the starting line riding Red Hare.

Instantly, all eyes were on him.

"Look at that horse, that’s the wild red horse seen in the wild some days ago, so many tried to catch it and failed!"

"Even people from the Mongolian Tribe couldn’t catch it, and he did!"

"This young man is new here!"

"He recently came and rented 10,000 mu for ten years in the best area in the south pasture."

"That red horse is indeed mighty, no wonder everyone wants to capture it!"

"Just a few days and he tamed it so well!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The herders chatted wildly, eyes full of gossip excitement.

Staff from Jiangfeng Ranch cheered for Jiang Feng not far away.

Zhu Huo shouted, "Go, manager!"

Ma He also yelled, "Aim for first place!"

The livestream chat was even more lively, with a storm of encouraging comments rushing across the screen.

With over 80,000 real-time online viewers, everyone cheered for him.

Jiang Feng arrived at the starting line, and the colts beside were a bit scared of Red Hare, moving aside.

As a colt, Red Hare was already the size of an adult horse and more imposing.

Jiang Feng prepared for the sprint.

Then, the next moment, the referee blew a loud whistle.

The next moment, over twenty horses began galloping across the wasteland simultaneously.

The scene was free and unrestrained, filled with a sense of broad emptiness.

Jiang Feng rode Red Hare, leading the pack instantly!

The other horses were at similar speeds, maintaining the same level, but Jiang Feng’s Red Hare was extremely conspicuous, accelerating and surpassing the other horses by half a body length!

After gathering speed, Red Hare left all the colts behind.

Jiang Feng rode Red Hare at full speed, and the colts behind could only see Red Hare’s back.

The livestream comments poured in quickly.

[Go, ranch owner!]

[So cool, amazing!]

[Almost crushing, awesome!]

[So fast!]

The viewers were exceptionally thrilled.

Jiang Feng rode Red Hare over the wasteland, as the sound of hooves sent grass clippings flying with each step.

Red Hare ran, climbed over wasteland, passed through dense forests, and leaped over tall grass.

The mane and tail fluttered with the wind, like a blazing flame!

The rhythm of the hooves was pronounced.

Before long, Red Hare dashed over the finish line, easily clinching first place in the under-three horse race.

Jiang Feng pulled the reins to gently stop Red Hare.

Looking back, the other colts hadn’t arrived yet.

These races generally had close competitions, with first and second often just a fraction apart.

But Jiang Feng’s speed was far ahead of the second place.

"Earned a lamb back."

The first prize of the under-three race was a lamb, which brought a slight smile to Jiang Feng’s lips as he thought to himself.

"Winning the cow too would be incredibly profitable!"

He was also determined to win the adult horse race coming up!
