Chapter 41 (continued)

Shi Wen smiled and agreed.

The tricycle drove to the edge of the pasture, under the barbed wire fence.

Shi Wen that to prevent dampness and wind, long wooden benches were placed side by side there, and a small pavilion was specially built to shelter from the rain.

Now that the beehives have arrived, just stack them on top of each other.

The three men carried two boxes of bees and placed them down with a thud.

Before driving to the next location, Reheman said to Shi Wen, "Every ten days to two weeks, open the top of the hive and check the honey and brood comb inside. Don't let the bees starve. When the honey is ready in spring, summer, and autumn, you can harvest it."

Shi Wen looked up information about beekeeping and nodded, "I understand."

Without giving any further explanation, Reheman drove his tricycle wildly across the ranch.

Soon, all six boxes of bees were placed.

Reheman and Abudu didn't linger and immediately headed back.

Shi Wen quickly gave them two bags of fried cakes and raisins to eat on the way.

This is also a local custom for entertaining guests; there's no reason to let guests go home hungry.

When the bees arrived, Shi Wen was quite nervous.

I specifically set aside two days to carefully observe the bees and see if they were adapting to the pasture.

The bees were more resilient than Shi Wen imagined. Within two days, they emerged from the bellows and flew off to collect nectar against the cold wind.

Although the weather was cold and the pasture was terribly dry, there were still some small yellow, pink, and purple flowers close to the ground, waiting for bees to visit them.

Shi Wen that they had settled in at home, I stopped worrying about them.

Unexpectedly, on this Shi Wen was disinfecting the livestock shed with quicklime when he heard the pitiful barking of dogs coming from afar.

Shi Wen straightened up, picked up the basket, and listened carefully.

After a while, there were two more sounds, which were very distant, but they should still be coming from the pasture.

Shi Wen he couldn't stand up any longer.

He put down his basket, put on his rain boots, then a coat and a hat, and rode his motorcycle toward the sound of barking dogs.

After driving for a while, the barking became clearer and clearer, and in addition to the barking, there were also the Hu Zai's angry howls.

Shi Wen the sound was coming from the beehives.

I wonder if the Hu Zai and dogs stole some honey and got stung by bees?

Shi Wen a little worried.

Although Hu Zai and dogs are relatively intelligent and know what's good for them, they are still like children and may be unable to resist their cravings.

Shi Wen drove his motorcycle over, and before he even arrived, he saw a black figure flying in front of the beehives in the distance.

It's a crow.

Shi Wen and see crows standing on beehives, pecking at the bees.

They seem completely unafraid of bee stings, devouring bees one by one as easily as popping candy.

Good heavens!

Shi Wen never imagined that crows would harm his bees.

It turns out he kept bees on his ranch, which provided a snack for the crows.

Shi Wen speeding up, trying to drive the car quickly to scare the crows away.

Before he even got close, he suddenly saw a yellow figure jump up on the spot.

It's Hu Zai!

The Hu Zai leaped more than two meters high, pouncing on the flying crow and pinning it to the ground.

The crow cawed loudly, flapped its wings at the Hu Zai, and tried to peck at the Hu Zai's eyes.

The Hu Zai released the crow, which had been lying on its back, now lay on its back, flapping its wings as if about to take flight.

Just then, the Hu Zai pounced again, pinning the crow firmly to the ground. With a bite, it seized the crow's neck and severed its throat.

This process happened incredibly fast.

Shi Wen to stop them.

There doesn't seem to be any need to stop them.

In the blink of an eye, the crow became the Hu Zai's meal.

At the same time, another Hu Zai jumped up and easily caught a crow, which it then made its meal.

The whole process took less than two minutes.

The arrogant crows, having lost two of their companions, were terrified and flapped their wings, cawing loudly, and flew away, not daring to linger there.

I've never heard of Hu Zai hunting like this Shi Wen.

This hunting method has a strong "Cong Zai" style.

It turns out that the two Hu Zai only didn't imitate Cong Zai's roar; they still learned everything else.

Just then, Shi Wen's motorcycle arrived in front of the beehive.

The Hu Zai and dogs saw him too.

Two Hu Zai, carrying a crow that had been bitten a few times, wobbled triumphantly to his feet and brought him their prey to eat.

Shi Wen quickly reached out and rubbed the heads of the two Hu Zai, then pushed the crow towards them, saying, "I won't eat, you two eat quickly."

One of the Hu Zai tilted its head and then picked up the crow and ate it.

The other Hu Zai patted his pants with its paw, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

Both Hu Zai will eventually be released back into the wild. Shi Wen doesn't care if they eat wild animals. Seeing the Hu Zai like this, Shi Wen nudged its furry neck and said, "I really won't eat it. You can eat it yourself, thank you."

Winter is approaching, Hu Zai's fur is growing thicker and thicker, feeling wonderful to the touch.

Shi Wen couldn't resist giving the dog another pat, then looked at the four dogs.

Three of the dogs had injuries.

Le Wa got pecked on the forehead, while An Wa and Fu Wa got stung.

Only Heiwa, the dog, was unharmed.

Shi Wen over, An Wa had her head down, her eyes and nose were swollen, and she looked ashamed and embarrassed. She was also secretly glancing at him, and the whites of her eyes were showing. She looked extremely guilty.

Fu Wa is a big, silly creature; its nose is swollen to twice its normal size. Shi Wen touches it, it grins and nuzzles against him affectionately.

Seeing Fu Wa acting cute, Le Wa ran over and wagged her tail affectionately.

Shi Wen at this group of dogs, An Wa was quite suspicious. He wondered if Anwa had seen the honey and brought the other dogs to steal it, only to run into the crows and then work together to chase them away.
