Shi Wen looked at his camel and approached gently from the side. "What do you usually use this camel for?"
Yao Guocheng: "Take them to the scenic area to receive guests."
Shi Wen, "Besides receiving guests, is it used for anything else?"
Yao Guocheng his head. "No, there's really no need for camels now. Aside from sending them to scenic spots to greet guests, we just keep them as pets, maybe let them have a baby camel and squeeze out some camel milk."
Shi Wen, "Your camels always look particularly tired."
Yao Guocheng disagreed. "My family treats the camels very well, they won't get tired. Even when we receive guests, we only go at eight in the morning and come back at eight in the afternoon, and they even rest for a while at noon."
Shi Wen neither agreed nor disagreed, but gently pinched the hump of one of the camels.
The camel's hump is a bit soft and drooping to one side, which means it's not in very good condition.
A camel in good condition should have a full and firm hump, like the other camels in Yao Guocheng.
Shi Wen a look, I noticed that apart from the camels appearing tired, they didn't seem to be sick.
He asked Yao Guocheng, "Do you remember which camel caused the problem first?"
Yao Guocheng nodded and pointed. "This one."
Shi Wen was about to go check, Yao Guocheng hesitated, leaving only his other hand. "Wait, it seems to be this side."
Why does it look so unreliable?
Shi Wen turned around and asked Yao Guocheng seriously, "Are you sure?"
Pressed by him, Yao Guocheng actually changed his tune. "Let's stick with the previous one."
Shi Wen Yao Guocheng "before," and seeing him point to the third camel, Shi Wen couldn't help but look puzzled.
Zhang Deyuan couldn't help but ask, "Don't you recognize your own camel?"
Yao Guocheng looked worried. "All camels look the same, who can tell them apart?"
Zhang Deyuan: "They're obviously different. The first time you pointed to this camel, its face was whiter. The second time you pointed to this camel, its belly hair was longer. Then the third time you pointed to this camel, its face was more pointed. How could you think they're all the same?"
Yao Guocheng didn't believe it and reached out to pull the camel. "You mean this camel's face is more pointed? Aren't they all the same?"
Before Yao Guocheng could answer, the camel beside him turned its head to look at him, suddenly opened its mouth, and spat out the undigested food in its stomach, smearing it all over Yao Guocheng's head and face.
The camel's saliva was sticky, green, and had a foul odor.
Shi Wen the herders, who often dealt with livestock, couldn't help but quietly take a step back to avoid becoming targets of the camels.
Yao Guocheng, however, didn't seem to care much. He wiped his face with his sleeve and continued to examine the camel he was leading, trying to discern its differences.
This camel is clearly throwing a tantrum.
Shi Wen looked at the three camels, which were very different from each other, paused for a moment, and then asked, "You don't recognize your own camels? Have you ever had a situation where you fed one camel several times, but didn't feed another one?"
Yao Guocheng: "Oh, really? It'll bark if it's not fed."
Shi Wen, "I suspect so."
Zhang Deyuan, standing nearby, said, "Don't you have security cameras at home? You can check the footage."
Camels are quite expensive, so Yao Guocheng actually installed surveillance cameras nearby.
At the couple's request, Yao Guocheng led his men into the house and showed them the surveillance footage.
Shi Wen, "Shall we look at this morning's surveillance footage first?"
Yao Guocheng: "Ah, let me see where the surveillance footage from this morning is?"
Shi Wen pointed and said, "I'll do it. The date and time are marked below."
Shi Wen retrieve the relevant video from the video folder to watch.
As a result, Yao Guocheng actually mixed up the camels when he was feeding them.
Some camels ate grass by the trough for a long time, while others were chased away as soon as they came near.
The camel, angered by being chased away, spat at him.
He didn't pay any attention and simply wiped it away.
Seeing this, the two of them turned around and looked at him simultaneously.
Yao Guocheng was a little embarrassed. "I thought these camels were still eating, so I wanted to shoo them away and leave the fodder for the other camels. I didn't expect they hadn't eaten yet, hahaha."
Shi Wen and Zhang Deyuan cast condemning glances at them.
Yao Guocheng couldn't chuckle anymore and had no choice but to shut his mouth sheepishly.
Shi Wen sincerely suggested, "Why don't you just paint a big number on the camel's body? That way you can easily distinguish them."
As he spoke, Shi Wen casually clicked on the two videos below.
The video below shows a camel being taken out to greet guests.
Judging from the video, Yao Guocheng kept feeding several camels concentrated feed and letting them rest, while making the other camels work on an empty stomach.
The camels carried the guests back and forth several times, until finally they were so exhausted that they collapsed to the ground and never got up again.
Camels that have been chewing on hay all the time are used to resting and are even less likely to get up.
Shi Wen looked at the camels, somewhat speechless.
No wonder the camels rebelled.
It turns out they have been suffering such unfair treatment all along.
Yao Guocheng was also surprised, scratching his head and saying, "I thought the camels who got special treatment were the ones who did the work, but it turns out it was the camels who didn't do any work."
Shi Wen, "It seems the problem has been found."
Yao Guocheng: "Well, how about I feed them properly for a few days? Let's calm them down first, and then make further plans?"
Shi Wen, "You should learn to recognize your camels first. If they need to go out to greet guests, it's not convenient to write numbers on their bodies. You can put small tags on them instead."
Yao Guocheng nodded repeatedly. "Okay, I'll go buy a small tag for them to hang up later."
With the problem resolved, Shi Wen didn't stay long at Yao Guocheng. He simply gave him a few instructions and then went back.
After leaving Yao Guocheng's house, Zhang Deyuan insisted on escorting Shi Wen back.
