He now understood why there were white things in the horse manure; the dogs had secretly fed it something.

Shi Wen immediately called out to them, "What are you doing?"

Hearing the shout, the dogs felt incredibly guilty and scattered immediately. Le Wa and Fu Wa, in particular, turned and ran away as if they were afraid others wouldn't know they had done something wrong.

The horse calmly chewed and swallowed what was in its mouth, destroying the evidence right in front of Shi Wen.

Goodness, that's really unruly.

Shi Wen the need to scold the dogs, immediately ran forward, pried open the horse's mouth, and tried to see what it had eaten.

The horse opened its mouth and snorted right in front of him.

At this moment, the horse's mouth was clean, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

He could only turn his head to look at the dogs.

The dogs all avoided eye contact, Shi Wen someone called out, "Wolf King, come here, what did you feed the horses?"

The Wolf King walked over with its tail drooping and its eyes darting around.

Shi Wen squatted down and held his hand in front of its mouth, signaling it to spit out the food.

The Wolf King wagged its tail in a small circle, glanced at Heiwa, and then spat what was in its mouth onto Shi Wen's hand.

The thing was round and covered in the Wolf King's saliva. Shi Wen picked it up, he found it was a perfectly round, grayish-white bird egg.

He couldn't Shi Wen what kind of bird it was, but it definitely wasn't a pigeon egg; he was quite familiar with pigeon eggs.

He picked up the egg in his hand and felt that there was no sign of life inside. It was probably a dead egg to begin with, or it might have been destroyed by the dogs.

Spring has arrived, and the grass is full of birds, as well as many bird nests.

Shi Wen here to run a ranch and was always friendly to birds except crows. He never expected that the dogs would actually be able to find bird eggs.

That makes sense, though. Bird eggs are a rare source of protein, and they're relatively easy to obtain. Birds also have a keen sense of smell, so they can easily find the right egg.

It's not surprising that they would go and steal bird eggs.

Shi Wen pinched his brow and called all the dogs over, "Attention! Sit up!"

The dogs quickly came over and sat in front of Shi Wen. Even the Langwa didn't dare to slack off and obediently sat in the last seat.

Shi Wen, "Anyone else with bird eggs in their mouths, spit them out!"

An Wa, Le Wa, Fu Wa, and Langwa all spat out the bird eggs from their mouths. However, while the other dogs each had only one bird egg, An Wa had three, enough to give one to Heiwa.

Shi Wen, with a serious expression, placed the bird eggs on their noses. "Didn't I tell you not to take bird eggs, not to catch fish fry, and not to bite animal cubs?"

Heiwa turned his big eyes to look at the bird eggs so close to him, not daring to utter a sound, but his eyes looked a little aggrieved.

Shi Wen, "Did you say that?"

The dogs wagged their tails and whimpered.

Shi Wen, "That means you've already said it. Remember this lesson: sit with the bird egg on your head for ten minutes, and don't drop it. Whoever drops it will have to pay double the penalty!"

The dogs dared not breathe loudly and held their heads even higher.

The horse watched from the side, snorting its displeasure.

As for the little horse and the little fox, they obediently shrank back to minimize their presence.

The two tiger cubs must have been stealing bird eggs too, because they didn't dare linger in this area and instead went to lie down under the eaves.

I often Shi Wen that dogs are forbidden from taking bird eggs, but it's no problem for the tiger cubs to take one. Bird eggs are on their menu anyway, so I don't bother with them, I just discipline the dogs.

The dogs are domesticated and shouldn't harm wild animals too much, plus it's not safe to catch wild animals.

Shi Wen had punished Heiwa and the others. They Shi Wen been raised by Shi Wen and trusted him greatly, so Shi Wen quite obedient to him.

The horse wasn't so convinced. Seeing Shi Wen punishing the dogs, it wanted to bite him but didn't dare. So Shi Wen sneezed and spat at Shi Wen, spraying a lot of saliva at once.

Seeing the horse like this, the Wolf King stood up and roared at it, "Awooo--"

Heiwa barked seriously, "Woof woof!"

The horse, having lost its temper, became dejected, lowered its head, and didn't really want to pay attention to its companions.

In the evening, Shi Wen and Yang Yiqing pushed the horses, still on their frames, into the stable.

Shi Wen fed it hay and water, then put an unfertilized raw goose egg on a plate and placed it on the shelf in front of the horse, telling it to eat, "If you want to eat eggs, eat the ones from home. Don't you dare harm wild bird eggs anymore, understand?"

The horse couldn't understand such a long sentence, but it was already happy to see the goose eggs. It tried to move its three intact legs and eagerly licked the eggs to eat.

Goose eggs are relatively large, and the yolks are a deep, beautiful orange-yellow color.

Perhaps because his geese are omnivorous and are genuine free-range geese from ranches, their goose eggs taste very good, and the horses love them.

You could tell from its call that it was satisfied with the extra meal.

After feeding the geese, Shi Wen went to feed the dogs.

Each dog was given a goose egg, and they were also fed boiled meat and freeze-dried vegetables.

The dogs were munching away, heads down, occasionally glancing up to Shi Wen him and barking affectionately at him.

Shi Wen to reason with them.

A good dog helps its friends, but it doesn't help them by doing bad things.

The dogs barked incessantly, but it Shi Wen unclear whether they understood what they were saying; we could only assume they did.

Having many pets at home always brings unexpected surprises.

Shi Wen that they don't sleep too soundly at night.

The spring night was chilly, and his head rested in the crook of Yan Kexing's neck. The warm breath he exhaled was just enough to touch Yan Kexing's neck, and the two of them fell asleep in this intimate position.

Therefore, Shi Wen the watch on his wrist vibrate slightly, he woke up, and Yan Kexing woke up as well.

Shi Wen said sleepily, "You keep sleeping, let me see what's wrong."

Yan Kexing's voice was much clearer than his. He gently covered his eyes with one hand around his head and snapped the light on, "It sounds like the cow is about to give birth."
