Chapter 143

Shi Wen in surprise, "No need to take me. I rode my motorcycle over. I just stepped on the gas, and I got to the ranch in no time."

Zhang Deyuan: "Let me see you off. By the way, don't tell anyone about this, just about Yao Guocheng."

Yao Guocheng couldn't even recognize his own camel, and treated the temperamental camel as a rare disease, even asking someone to Shi Wen. Zhang Deyuan also contributed a lot to this, which made Yao Guocheng feel deeply ashamed.

Zhang Deyuan felt that the image of shrewdness and competence he had cultivated had collapsed in a single day thanks to Yao Guocheng.

Shi Wen Zhang Deyuan taking a deep breath, Shi Wen found it amusing and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Brother Zhang, I promise I won't tell anyone outside."

Zhang Deyuan: "Yan Kexing back and you didn't even tell me?"

"I still have to say this, hahaha, after all, she's one of my family members," Shi Wen said with a laugh. "Don't worry, Yan Kexing definitely won't tell anyone else."

Zhang Deyuan had no intention of bringing this up again, and sighed, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Shi Wen enjoyed the escort service from the older brother and was all smiles when he returned to the ranch.

That evening, Shi Wen told Yan Kexing about it.

Yan Kexing looked puzzled. "How could you not even recognize your own camel?"

Shi Wen, "That's what I said too. Hahaha, but that's not the funniest part. You didn't see the camels' expressions, especially those camels that worked tirelessly without any fodder. They were so angry they wanted to bite Yao Guocheng."

Yan Kexing cautioned, "Camels are quite powerful. If that's the case, he needs to be careful of a camel that's currently throwing a tantrum, lest he get bitten."

Shi Wen, "I've already reminded him, and he said he'll be careful."

Camels have a bad temper and very strong teeth; when they bite, they can tear flesh off a person.

There are records of camel attacks resulting in deaths both domestically and internationally.

However, camels are relatively rare, and camel bites are extremely rare events, so most people are unaware of this and rarely take precautions.

In fact, cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, and camels are all relatively dangerous animals. Given their size, if they get angry and hurt people, it can bring terrible consequences.

Shi Wen of this, Shi Wen said to Yan Kexing, "I'll remind him again in a couple of days."

Yan Kexing: "If he really can't raise it well, then tell him to stop."

Shi Wen shook his head. "I'm afraid that won't work. He has a family to support. If we don't let him support them, what else can he do?"

There's a scenic area near Yao Guocheng, and his family's camels are used to transport guests there, maintaining their business from May to November during peak season.

Raising camels is his family's biggest source of income, so giving it up is definitely out of the question.

Shi Wen didn't mean to interfere too much with others.

He only made a note on his phone, planning to follow up after a while, to try and persuade them if he could, and to let it go if he couldn't.

Before he could return the visit, a few days later, unidentified hay appeared on the ranch.

After discovering the unidentified hay in the pasture, the dogs barked loudly and led Shi Wen over to see Shi Wen on, as if they were cursing someone for being so heartless as to throw hay into the pasture.

The hay was thrown in through the pasture gate.

This hay was clearly not from the area near the pasture; it looked like it had been carried over by some other animal, and it was covered in sticky saliva.

The smell of that foul saliva felt strangely familiar to him.

After Shi Wen, Shi Wen looked at the excited dogs beside him and patted the Wolf King's head. "Stop barking, I know who brought it. It was most likely brought by a camel."

Wolf King: "Awoo--"

Shi Wen, "The camel probably didn't mean to threaten you; it just came to repay a debt of gratitude."

The Wolf King looked at Shi Wen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Shi Wen called out to Heiwa, "Heiwa, go and drag the wheelbarrow over. I'll shovel up this hay and take it to ferment later."

The camels may have meant well, but Shi Wen's impossible to feed livestock on wild fodder of dubious origin, so we can only disappoint their good intentions.

Chapter 143

Shi Wen did not take the camels' act of bringing fodder to heart.

Every household here herds their livestock to graze, and it's not uncommon for camels to occasionally wander from Yao Guocheng to this place.

If Yao Guocheng finds out, he'll probably keep them under control and prevent them from coming out again.

Shi Wen thought this way, but he didn't expect that two more wild rabbits would be thrown into their ranch the next day.

There have always been wild rabbits in the area, but Shi Wen dogs are not allowed to catch them and the rabbits are wary, they can only see them from a distance and have never had direct contact with them.

Upon seeing the dead hare that had run into the pasture, Shi Wen had no choice but to take it seriously.

He first checked the home security camera footage.

Surveillance footage shows that around 5 a. m., just as dawn was breaking, three camels found their ranch and threw in the rabbits they were carrying in their mouths.

Judging from the appearance of the camel, it is clearly Yao Guocheng's camel.

Shi Wen called Yao Guocheng and told him about the camels and rabbits.

Yao Guocheng very surprised. "Are camels really that smart?"

Shi Wen, "It turns out they do. They even know to come all the way from far away to bring me wild rabbits, and yesterday they brought me hay."

Yao Guocheng suddenly realized and said, "I was wondering why they looked so tired. They've been running around outside these past two nights."

Shi Wen was surprised by Yao Guocheng's reaction and sighed, saying, "You'd better keep your camel locked up; it wouldn't be good if it ran away and got lost one day."

"Okay, thank you, Young Brother Shi," Yao Guocheng said confidently. "They just run back and forth between the two places, they shouldn't get lost."

Shi Wen, "What if? Even if they don't get lost, if they run around like this at night, they won't have the energy to greet guests during the day."

Yao Guocheng: "You're right, then I'll lock them up tonight."

After Yao Guocheng agreed, Shi Wen indeed didn't see anything strange on the ranch for several days.
