Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 58 - 56: The Five Livestock of the Grasslands—Why There Are No Pigs!

Chapter 58: Chapter 56: The Five Livestock of the Grasslands—Why There Are No Pigs!

Early the next morning, as soon as Jiang Feng started the livestream, many people joined the broadcast room, clamoring to see the piglet.

[Host, where’s that piglet!]

[I heard someone is falling in love with a pig here, is it true?]

[The host is quite handsome!]

[I want to see the pig!]

Seeing the comments, Jiang Feng felt a bit puzzled.

Today’s popularity was higher than the previous days, and overnight, his followers increased by tens of thousands.

After a brief investigation, he learned that someone had posted a humorous video about the piglet on Bilibili, attracting many viewers to check it out.

After seeing everyone’s comments, Jiang Feng went straight to the pigsty.

At this moment, the piglets were lying on their sides sleeping.

"Pigs sleep very soundly, and piglets are even more like this."

"They’ll only start waking up slowly before lunch."

"At this time, they won’t wake up!"

As he spoke, Jiang Feng opened the gate of the pigsty and stepped inside.

He grabbed the front hooves of the piglet that liked to escape and shook its body back and forth.

The piglet remained in deep sleep, unresponsive to Jiang Feng’s shaking.

Seeing the pig sleeping so deeply, the viewers were quite surprised:

[Could it be dead!]

[Wow, I envy the pig’s quality of sleep!]

[The pig really sleeps well!]

[It still won’t wake up? Are you sure it’s alive?]

Jiang Feng continued shaking the piglet, but no matter how much he shook, the piglet remained asleep.

The other pigs were in a similar state.

"That’s just how pigs are, they eat and sleep well." Jiang Feng put the piglet down and walked out of the pigsty.

"Pigs gain weight quickly, they’ve all gotten quite chubby."

"If that little pig with a heart shape manages to escape over the wall again within thirteen days, I truly won’t eat it and will let it live for a few more years."

"Animals with spirit are rare, and if you raise many animals, you’ll find some have spirit; such animals shouldn’t be killed."

Jiang Feng restated his intentions.

The audience looked forward to the piglet’s fate.

They hoped the piglet could survive on its own.

The farm started grazing with drone footage.

Jiang Feng checked the seedlings in the field and the conditions of the chicks in the chicken pen, and after confirming everything was fine, he mounted Red Hare and leisurely headed to the prairie to observe the cattle and sheep.

On the way, someone asked Jiang Feng:

[Host, why don’t you let the pigs out!]

[Yeah, cattle, sheep, and horses can be on the prairie, why not pigs!]

[It seems that raising pigs on the prairie is uncommon!]

Riding atop his horse, Jiang Feng patiently explained the situation to everyone:

"As everyone knows, the five pastoral animals of the grasslands are cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and camels, all species domesticated by herders over millennia."

"But throughout history, massive pastoral pig grazing has never occurred."

"The reason is simple: pigs like to wreck things once they’ve eaten their fill; they like to dig up the ground."

"Anyone who has raised pigs knows a well-fed pig will instantly flip its trough for no reason."

"If thousands of pigs were grazed on the prairie, it would quickly be destroyed entirely."

"Moreover, pigs forget punishment, are disobedient, and even sheepdogs can’t control them."

"In terms of discipline, pigs are far inferior to cattle, horses, sheep, and camels."

Upon hearing him out, everyone had an epiphany.

Turns out, pigs have such characteristics.

No wonder they’re confined to the sty.

Jiang Feng, riding on horseback, leisurely swayed, truly enjoying himself.

He then laughed and asked everyone:

"Do you know which of the five pastoral animals is the most delicate?"

Upon his inquiry, everyone eagerly responded:

[Certainly sheep!]

[It must be horses!]

A myriad of guesses filled the comments, Jiang Feng revealed the answer:

"It’s cattle; they are particularly picky about grass. For example, on desertified prairies, cattle won’t eat grass; they even refuse to graze alongside sheep."

"Also, in winter, they won’t dig through snow to find grass; the herders have to let horses clear the snow first so the cattle can find grass to eat."

"However, the pasture here is almost the best, so the cattle don’t mind."

"Look at these cattle and sheep, after raising them for so long, I can feel they’ve all grown well."

"If the grass is good, raising them becomes worry-free."

"Now, do you know which animal is the dumbest?"

Jiang Feng posed another question; this time, opinions aligned, the comments were filled with answers of "sheep."

Seeing everyone say this, he responded:

"Indeed, it’s sheep; more precisely, it’s ordinary sheep."

"How dumb are ordinary sheep? Let me explain: if one sheep leads the way to the lake for a drink and falls in, a whole flock might queue up to plunge into the water as well."

"You won’t understand why they do it when there’s clearly a lake ahead of them."

"Sometimes, several drown, leaving you no choice but to make them into boiled meat sorrowfully."

"Therefore, smart herders place a certain ratio of goats amongst the ordinary sheep to lessen their stupidity."

Jiang Feng narrated stories of grazing.

He rode atop his horse, beneath azure skies and fluffy clouds, striding across green grass.

The livestream became increasingly lively.

[Ordinary sheep are so dumb? Forming a queue to jump into the river?]

[Ordinary sheep: Everyone jumps, why shouldn’t I!]

[Look at ordinary sheep, they resemble stock market rookies at times!]

[Host, can you arrange for ordinary sheep to queue for a river plunge, I’d love to see it!]

Jiang Feng leisurely chatted with everyone.

He rode for a while.

Some longtime fans with a knack for mischief started stirring things up again.

[Manhole Cover Number One] sent the host a space shuttle gift*1: [Host, just a question, I’m a guy, what should I do if woken up by a kiss from my roommate in the middle of the night?]

The flashy gift and the explosive comment captured everyone’s attention.

Jiang Feng glanced at the scrolling comments on his watch.

His brows furrowed, a hint of deep bewilderment appearing across his face.

Then, with an entirely composed expression, Jiang Feng responded: "Getting woken up by a roommate’s kiss is fine, as long as a little flying wand isn’t involved."

The audience was accustomed to his understated but startling style.

[Hahaha, the host is at it again!]

[A bit of mischievousness in disguise!]

[Hey buddy in front: care to share details on how you got kissed awake at night?]

[Is college life really this scary nowadays?]

[Here comes the little flying wand!]

Questions of all sorts poured in from the audience in the livestream, including quirky ones:

[Can infertility be hereditary?]

[How come cutting wrists leads to death, but amputating an arm won’t?]

Ignoring further comments, Jiang Feng spurred his horse forward.

After riding for a while, a sudden piercing cry echoed through the sky.

Jiang Feng looked up at a familiar silhouette of a bird.

Since recovering, the Golden Eagle had been gone for several days, and Jiang Feng thought it might never return.

Unexpectedly, today the Golden Eagle suddenly appeared.

"It’s Golden Eagle, it’s back!"

"I thought it had flown away!"

Seeing the Golden Eagle, a surge of excitement filled Jiang Feng’s demeanor.

The Golden Eagle circled overhead, looping around Jiang Feng.

The drone captured every scene.

In the vast sky, the Golden Eagle shone golden, its presence radiant.

The crowd ceased their jesting, collectively focusing on the majestic raptor.

Next, the Golden Eagle slowly descended towards Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng, wearing a long-sleeved hoodie, lifted his arm as a landing spot for the Golden Eagle.

The Golden Eagle understood the gesture, landing on his arm!

Its sharp claws grasped Jiang Feng’s arm tightly, yet the tips remained unclamped, so it caused him no harm.

[Wow!]

The viewers were stunned at the sight, filling the screen instantly with comments of amazement!
