Shi Wen, "That works too. I estimate these geese and Bresse chickens will be ready for market this fall and winter."

The geese and chickens at their farm are growing much faster than he expected; they should be ready for market this year without any problems.

If you plan to fatten them up this year, you need to start now and fatten them up in a planned way so that their body fat and muscle reach the perfect ratio.

Shi Wen himself didn't have much experience in poultry farming, and since he didn't have any pedigree advantage in poultry farming, he was unsure of himself, so he simply made an appointment with a professor from J University to get a consultation.

Yan Kexing strongly agrees with his scientific feeding method.

The two of them specifically chose a Sunday, when both the professor and they were available, to drive over to the professor.

The professor was a very nice person, and his professional competence was also excellent. They chatted happily for a long time.

At noon, the professor and his wife even cooked lunch for them at their home.

They chatted until the afternoon before saying goodbye to the professor and leaving.

Since it was a rare trip to the city, Shi Wen specially dragged Yan Kexing around for a stroll.

Because they lingered in the city for quite a while, they returned home rather late.

There were relatively few people on the road when they drove back.

Unexpectedly, after driving for only a short while, a bunch of fire trucks with their sirens blaring caught up from behind, overtook them, and sped away.

Shi Wen seeing this, Shi Wen said to Yan Kexing, "Really? Where is the fire? Is it a ranch or a mountain?"

Yan Kexing: "After such a long period of clear skies, and now being the driest time of the year, a fire is to be expected. I hope it's not a wildfire."

Shi Wen, "I hope the fire is smaller."

It's windy and dry today.

Shi Wen felt a sense of foreboding. He took out his phone and searched online, only to find that it really was a wildfire.

The fire broke out in the Agouna Mountains.

Shi Wen straightened up abruptly in the passenger seat. "No way? The Agouna Mountains? Isn't that where the little tiger lives?"

Yan Kexing: "Did the news say which mountain caught fire?"

Shi Wen hurriedly opened the webpage, quickly skimming through it, but couldn't find the specific mountain. "It didn't say. I'll ask in the group."

The Agouna Mountains are so vast that they span several cities.

Although wildfires are cruel, Shi Wen really hope that they don't reach the mountain where the tiger cub lives.

Shi Wen opened various WeChat groups and asked around.

Soon, a member of a group replied, "[Mount Tannan, I heard the fire started from Mount Tannan.]"

Other group members chimed in:

[Isn't it fire season now? How could it still catch fire? Was it caused by someone or...?]

[Since no one was caught, it probably wasn't intentional, right?]

[No news yet. But many fire brigades have gone; we haven't seen such a large wildfire here in a long time.]

The fire started near my cousin's house. My cousin has gone to help put it out. I heard it was caused by lightning striking the mountain.

[It's a natural disaster, there's nothing we can do about it.]

Sigh, I hope everyone stays safe and sound.

Shi Wen told Yan Kexing about the mountain that had caught fire, "The group says it's Mount Tannan."

Yan Kexing: "Mount Tannan is located north of the tiger cub's habitat, separated by several mountains, so it shouldn't affect the tiger."

Shi Wen, "Yes, it's so clever, it should run away if it sees a fire, right?"

Yan Kexing: "Definitely, as long as the fire doesn't start from the mountain it's on, it should be fine."

The two comforted each other, but after a few words, Shi Wen couldn't help but ask, "I saw some people going to help put out the fire, can we go?"

Yan Kexing pulled the car over to the side of the road and stopped. "What about the ranch?"

Shi Wen, "Please Gong Jiang and the others to stay at the ranch for the night. We'll go check on them; maybe they won't need our help?"

They went out today, Gong Jiang and the other two know that Fen Yong helped look after them. They are still at their house, so it shouldn't be a problem for Gong Jiang and the other two to stay a little longer.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing exchanged glances.

Yan Kexing said, "Then let's go take a look."

They drove directly to the location of the fire.

Before they even arrived at their destination, they could see the burning mountains from a great distance.

Wildfires are merciless; two mountain ranges were ablaze, billowing thick smoke and orange-red flames leaping across the mountains. Their car could smell the smoke as soon as it drove on the road.

Many people drove or rode motorcycles towards the fire, their faces showing anxiety.

Compared to ordinary people, there are more firefighters driving fire trucks or trucks. They are well-trained, carrying various equipment, and running forward in formation.

Shi Wen these people, I felt a little relieved. With so many people putting out the fire, the small animals should be alright.

There are so many of us, please don't let anything happen!

Chapter 107

The wildfire was so fierce that many small animals were driven out of the mountains and onto the grasslands below.

At this moment, the animals didn't care whether there were predators around, and they all huddled together in panic.

Shi Wen glanced around; there were no tiger cubs among them.

The tiger cub was probably too far away from here, outside the fire zone, so it wouldn't have come this way.

Shi Wen checked on it, but he was still worried.

He had now identified which mountains were on fire, so he called Zhou Hongzhong to ask, "Captain Zhou, can you see the locator on the tiger cub? Where is the tiger cub in the Agouna Mountains right now?"

Zhou Hongzhong also heard about the wildfire. "I just checked, it's still in Mount Kuyang."

Upon hearing the name of the mountain, Yan Kexing Shi Wen to Shi Wen, indicating that the little tiger was still far away.

Shi Wen a sigh of relief, "That's great."

Zhou Hongzhong: "Don't worry, the little tiger is quite clever; it shouldn't encounter any danger."
