Chapter 112
This time, Heiwa and the others seemed to understand. They circled around twice in small steps and barked twice, as if they had agreed.
Shi Wen stretched and pretended to go inside to sleep.
As soon as he entered the house and closed the door, he quietly turned on the surveillance camera in the livestock shed to check on Heiwa and the others, explaining the situation to Yan Kexing in the same way.
They entered the barn without any difficulty.
[Okay, they started biting the latch, letting the sheep out of the sheepfold.]
[Goodness, I was wondering why their stables were Shi Suo open sometimes, maybe I forgot to close it, turns out they know it so well!]
After entering the livestock shed, Heiwa and the others used their teeth to bite the bolts on the doors of each shed, releasing the livestock inside.
Led by the lead sheep and brown cattle, the livestock filed out as usual, and soon they were outside.
Heiwa and his companions automatically split into three groups, including the little fox, the horse, the brown ox, and Cong Zai, and drove the livestock out before heading to Pasture No. 3 respectively.
They seem to be able to make their own judgments about which herds of livestock to drive to which place each day.
Shi Wen from the surveillance footage that the dogs behaved perfectly, just as he usually did when he herded the livestock out.
It seems that without his knowledge, the little ones at home had already grown up and their herding abilities were no less than those of ordinary herders.
The problem of insufficient manpower on his ranch, which had been troubling him for so long, didn't seem so necessary.
The little creatures are, to some extent, completely capable of replacing humans and helping them drive livestock out to graze.
Today is only the first day, Shi Wen still doubts about whether it's feasible to let the little ones graze the livestock and poultry at home.
To this end, he specially fitted miniature cameras onto sheep, pigs, meat sheep, breeding sheep, and cattle to track their grazing activities in pastures.
The miniature camera recorded the livestock's activities throughout the day.
Shi Wen had always thought that his livestock were quite independent, but to his surprise, they were very docile and not naughty at all when they went out. Wherever the little guys drove them, they stayed there.
The little guys weren't even really needed.
In other words, the timing of herding them out and bringing them back needs to be arranged by the little guys; at other times, the pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, and geese will graze on their own.
Shi Wen observing for several days, Shi Wen found the grassland calm and peaceful. Not to mention large wild animals like wolves or foxes, even crows dared not land there.
The little guys don't really have much to do when they go out to graze the livestock.
They go out to graze in groups and come back in groups, having a great time all day long.
When I saw Shi Wen at night, he stuck out his long tongue and nudged me with his big, furry head, indicating that he wanted to play together.
It seems like they have inexhaustible energy.
After Yan Kexing returned, Shi Wen showed him the phenomena she had observed and the videos she had collected. "Heiwa and the others are really almost becoming spirits. I should be able to hand over the ranch to them without too many problems."
After reading Yan Kexing, "Let's take them to have their IQ tested first. If their IQs are high enough, we can give them more autonomy in the future."
Shi Wen, "Are all the little ones going together?"
Yan Kexing: "The tests have all been done, call everyone up."
Zhu Ji they wanted to test the little ones' intelligence, Zhu Ji offered, "Don't even think about taking them outside for testing, that's too much trouble. Leave it to me, I'll arrange for people and equipment to come to your ranch to help with the testing."
Shi Wen, "Is it that good? How much does it cost?"
Zhu Ji: "Let's not talk about fees, just leave us a copy of the information. I'm quite curious about what the little creatures you raise on your ranch are like, especially the fox cubs. I wonder how smart they are now? Are they very clever?"
Shi Wen, "... Just yesterday, he tricked and coaxed Fu Wa out of a chicken leg, and then turned around and offered it to Cong Zai."
Zhu Ji stroked his chin. "That would be considered extremely cunning."
Shi Wen, "Yes, it's hard to say if someone is clever, but they're definitely cunning."
Zhu Ji: "Cong Zai still has the advantage in intelligence, doesn't he?"
Shi Wen guessed, "It's probably still at the top of the power rankings. Apart from the Brown Ox and Shi Suo, which it can't really beat, all the other little guys are completely subdued by it."
As for the brown ox and the Shi Suo, it's not that they have high combat strength, but rather that their hides are thicker, and the Cong Zai can't break through their defenses yet.
After all, they are his own brothers, so Cong Zai can't aim for their vulnerable spots, or he'll get a beating from Shi Wen.
Zhu Ji became even more curious. "Then you wait, I'll bring people over tomorrow."
Shi Wen, "Thank you for your hard work."
The next day, Zhu Ji indeed arrived early with researchers and conducted a series of tests on the little guy from the Shi Wen family.
The results came out very quickly.
Zhu Ji held a thick stack of reports, his expression very subtle.
Shi Wen went over to see what was wrong. "What's wrong?"
Zhu Ji handed him the report, "Your IQ has reached the average level of a ten-year-old child. It seems you can send them to school now."
Chapter 112
The kids are indeed clever; Shi Wen's first reaction upon receiving the report was somewhat "unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable."
Zhu Ji chimed in enthusiastically, "You've taken such good care of these little guys! How about it? Want to get some more pets?"
Shi Wen knew what he was going to say as soon as Shi Wen it, and immediately raised her hand to interrupt, "No, no, no, I can't take them all. Don't put other small animals here with me. Look at the little fox, it's all grayish-brown from being raised like this."
Shi Wen the little fox heard someone calling its name, it turned its head and whimpered, "Eek?"
Shi Wen squatted down and gently stroked its little head. "It's none of your business, go play."
The little fox, whose white fur had turned gray, happily licked Shi Wen's hand and ran off to play with Heiwa and the others.
Shi Wen he didn't want to take in any more pets for the time being, Zhu Ji a little regretful and said to him, "Let me know when you want to get one. We can wait."
