Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 91 - 89: Wolves Appear—The Bond Between the Grassland and Wolves!

Chapter 91: Chapter 89: Wolves Appear—The Bond Between the Grassland and Wolves!

The autumn weather is crisp and refreshing.

Today’s sky is exceptionally vast, without even a cloud, and when you look up, the sky is a full expanse of light blue, like it’s been painted with crayons.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Jiang Feng is riding his horse and heading out to herd sheep again.

The black sheepdog Lucky, the Golden Retriever Wangwang, and the little Border Collie Xiaojin Hua are all trailing behind the sheep.

The flock is moving very slowly, so they can easily keep up.

However, the three dogs have different attitudes.

Lucky is focused, keeping an eye on the flock’s movements, and any sheep that misbehaves, it runs over to discipline.

The Golden Retriever is purely out for fun, and knowing that following the flock means not getting lost, it plays a while and then heads to the back of the flock to avoid falling behind.

Xiaojin Hua, on the other hand, is following its father, learning herding techniques. It’s evident that it’s highly enthusiastic and learning well.

Jiang Feng rides his horse, leisurely swaying.

He looks up towards the sky, where the Golden Eagle is circling.

This Golden Eagle often stays outside but occasionally returns to the ranch to check-in. Being a first-class protected bird, it lives as it pleases.

However, its appearance always amazes the online viewers.

The flock gathers in one area to graze, but since there’s not much grass, they keep moving forward.

Unlike summer when they would lie on the slopes to sleep, Jiang Feng and the employees have to keep walking along.

The livestream room is always crowded, full of people who’ve come to watch the cloud-based herding.

The sheep walk far away, and it’s then that Jiang Feng notices something.

He takes a binocular from his chest and looks toward the direction outside the ranch.

Seeing this scene, many newly arrived viewers in the livestream room are a bit puzzled.

[Wow, the ranch owner has such professional equipment!]

[Are herders so high-tech now? That binocular looks pretty advanced!]

[Cyberpunk herding!]

[The ranch owner is obviously a tech enthusiast, with lots of professional equipment like binoculars, Leica cameras, motorcycles—you can only envy them.]

[Being called Grassland King isn’t for nothing!]

The barrage keeps flowing.

Jiang Feng stares ahead for a while.

On the distant slope, he sees two or three heads sneakily poking out.

After watching for about five minutes, Jiang Feng confirms his suspicion.

"It’s wolves; wolves have come," he says, putting down the binoculars.

Upon hearing his words, the viewers are slightly stunned.

Wolves?

In this grassland, if there’s anything everyone fears most, it’s undoubtedly wolves.

A large pack charging over is something no one can withstand.

[Wolves are here?]

[Isn’t this a private ranch? How can there be wolves?]

Jiang Feng calmly says:

"As the weather gets colder, there are fewer rabbits, so wolves are bound to move in the pasture area; this happens every year."

"Wolves in Mongolia aren’t many, but you can still see them during the winter."

"But don’t worry too much, on our grassland, wolves are protected animals."

"Although wolves attack sheep and foals, herders still protect them."

"The relationship isn’t as hostile as it used to be."

Jiang Feng picks up the binoculars again to look further, confirming the direction before he grabs the walkie-talkie and speaks:

"Old Yang, watch out, there are wolves on the northern slope, I see four, and they’re quite far."

"Don’t let the sheep go north."

Yang Maolin responds over the walkie-talkie:

"Alright, I’m heading over now."

Yang Maolin speeds up, running from the outskirts of the flock, reaching the far north side, and herding them towards the west.

[Are there really wolves?]

[Don’t scare me, rancher!]

[Is herding this exciting now?]

Everyone remains skeptical.

The wolves are far from the flock; even Jiang Feng only saw them using binoculars.

He smiles slightly, gently flicks the reins, and rides his horse straight north.

The warm autumn sun shines on him, the cold wind hits him head-on, and Jiang Feng gallops freely over the somewhat withered grassland, carefree and wild.

Seeing this, everyone feels a bit tense.

Jiang Feng himself doesn’t think much of it.

Mongolian wolves are different from the plateau wolves in the Tibetan Area.

The wolves there are numerous and fierce, often fighting with herders’ sheepdogs.

Whereas here in Mongolia, wolves rarely attack humans and only dare to sneak around.

Jiang Feng gallops for a while, then slows down.

The drone captures images from afar, and the lens keeps zooming in.

At this moment, the online viewers finally saw those wolves.

There were a total of four wolves, standing behind the hillside, looking towards the distant flock of sheep.

These wolves were mostly gray, with some mixed areas of black and white.

Jiang Feng spoke to the viewers:

"They are looking for any sheep that have strayed from the group, and if they find one, they’ll run over to launch a surprise attack." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"There aren’t many wolves around here, just four or five that dare to come out, and they definitely won’t attack humans, just steal sheep and chickens—they don’t even dare to steal dogs."

"They can only operate sneakily."

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the viewers’ tension was completely dispelled.

Everyone relaxed.

[Why does this remind me so much of the Pleasant Goat storyline, where the wolves only dare to be sneaky and never engage in frontal attacks!]

[Pleasant Goat indeed is a documentary!]

[Wow! So they only dare to ambush, no sense of martial ethics!]

[Why don’t they dare to have a showdown with the master!]

The drone captured the wolves even more clearly.

These wolves looked lazy, not fierce, as if they were waiting to pick up leftovers.

Jiang Feng looked at these wolves with a calm heart.

He continued:

"You can check online, in Mongolia some herders even raise wolves to herd sheep. Wolves are smarter than sheepdogs, knowing how to protect the herd."

"Some herders have even raised a retired old Wolf King, and after learning to herd sheep, that Wolf King ended up being incorporated into the system."

"Times have changed."

"Anyway, we here quite like wolves. If we encounter an injured wolf, we’ll contact an animal protection agency. Some herders can even take care of wolves to help them recover, just like I took care of Da Ying and the Golden Eagle."

"There are always injured animals here, and when herders are willing to care for them, everyone welcomes it."

Jiang Feng looked at the distant wolf pack and shared stories of the bond between herders and wolves with everyone.

The viewers listened, astonished.

[I recall there’s a saying, a circus has tigers and lions, but never wolves, meaning wolves can’t be tamed.]

[Nonsense, I’ve seen many tamed wolves, and there’s even a woman who raises wolves. Her wolf pen is full of them, and she casually slaps the Wolf King.]

[Wolf: I don’t want to be tamed either, but having board and lodging is simply too tempting!]

[I used to think wolves were fierce, but seeing more of them, they seem like just a fiercer-looking husky!]

[Husky: Yes, promote it like that, wolves and I look the same!]

The atmosphere in the live stream room became increasingly lively.

Some viewers even gave nicknames to those four wolves.

Grey Wolf, Red Wolf, Banana Wolf, Little White Wolf.

At this moment, Jiang Feng saw something, and his expression suddenly became excited.

He took out his binoculars to confirm again.

"There are not just four wolves, but two little ones as well!"

"Look here, this is a family outing, it seems."

Jiang Feng said excitedly.

He controlled the drone to fly higher for everyone to see clearly.

Only then did the viewers notice that behind the slightly pale wolf, two little wolves were lying on the ground, biting and playing.

And what surprised everyone the most was that one of the little wolves was pure white, looking like a white Samoyed.

However, the white little wolf seemed weaker, as the gray little wolf pinned it to the ground, one front paw pressed against its face, leaving it to only lie there with its mouth open, making counterattack gestures.

Seeing the Little White Wolf, everyone was surprised.

"A White Wolf, that’s quite rare."

"Albinism in animals is common, such as pure white deer, white tigers, white lions, and even a pure white panda."

"Leopards’ albinism is unique, turning them black."

"Huaxia people have a genetic fondness for white, and seeing little white animals, they generally like them."

"We see this as a good omen, a mythical creature."

"In the grasslands, it’s also considered a good sign."

Jiang Feng looked at the Little White Wolf being bullied, his eyes full of interest.

"If only I could raise one."

"If I could raise that White Wolf, I would take care of its entire family."

Jiang Feng always liked small animals, cats, and dogs. With a wolf with such pure white fur, he naturally couldn’t suppress his eager heart.

It’s just that forcibly raising them is illegal.

After all, they are protected animals, so temporary care is fine if injured, but if he took these wolves back to raise, he would be taken away by the police.

So he could only think about it.

"It’s rare to see, it’s surprising Maodeng has a Little White Wolf."

"It’ll probably become famous around here once it grows up."

At this point, the wolf pack noticed Jiang Feng, looked at him, then got up and ran away.

The two little wolves also followed them and ran off.

Jiang Feng led the horse to head back.

He raced towards the flocks of sheep that looked like clusters of cotton as he returned swiftly.
