I often Shi Wen that I can spot all the sheep and pigs at a glance, and even finding a few of them is no problem.

The sheep and pigs were leisurely munching on something on the mountain.

There was nothing dangerous on the mountain to begin with. Fu Meng and his group had already explored the entire mountain forest when they cleared it before, and apart from wild rabbits, there wasn't even a fox.

Even if they did, they probably wouldn't be a match for sheep and pigs.

Shi Wen felt a little relieved, but when he went up to check, he realized he had relaxed too soon.

As soon as we got up the mountain, the wild blueberries along the roadside were all eaten up and gone, from leaves to branches.

Shi Wen it, I comforted myself, thinking, "Sheep and pigs are still pigs. It's not strange that pigs gnaw on branches and make a mess of them."

They continued uphill, and the sheep and pigs ate up the still-green dandelions and other wild vegetables, leaving the ground bare.

After walking a little further up, Shi Wen saw the first sheep-pig.

The sheep and pig lay on the ground, grunting and whimpering, without moving.

Shi Wen went up and touched the sheep-pig's belly, finding it bulging and bulging, with no idea what was inside.

Yan Kexing also squatted down and touched it. "It probably just nibbled on some wild grass."

Shi Wen, "I haven't been starving them, so why are they so greedy?"

The sheep and pigs grunted under their hands, lazily basking in the sun without attacking anyone.

Shi Wen touched it for a while and said, "Let's go up and take another look."

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing uphill, sheep and pigs were scattered all over the mountain, happily munching on everything they could find.

Shi Wen soon discovered that the sheep and pigs weren't simply hungry; they were also craving food.

They will spit out food they've eaten that doesn't taste good.

Shi Wen the ascent up the mountain, we saw several piles of food vomited up by sheep and pigs.

They walked into the apple orchard and saw dozens of sheep and pigs gathered there.

They devoured the apples, almost completely eating them, even the rotten ones that had fallen to the ground.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing over, the sheep and pigs weren't afraid at all. They ignored the two of them and continued to nibble on the ground, grunting and munching.

Perhaps because apples taste much better than weeds, they ate them with particular enjoyment, and their calls even carried a hint of coquetry.

However, under these circumstances, Shi Wen couldn't appreciate their cuteness at all.

He only felt that his blood pressure was a little high.

Shi Wen couldn't resist grabbing a sheep-pig by the neck, pulling it over, and prying open its mouth to take a look.

The sheep and pig cooperated by opening their mouths; the apple had already been chewed up and was almost swallowed.

Shi Wen at the apple in its mouth, Shi Wen said to Yan Kexing in a complicated tone, "Don't you think these pigs will get sick from eating so much random stuff?"

Yan Kexing: "Probably not. Pigs aren't stupid; if they can't eat it, they'll just spit it out."

Shi Wen let go of the sheep-pig, it immediately took off running happily.

The apples have all been eaten; why worry about what will happen if these sheep and pigs eat rotten apples? It's pointless to leave them nothing at all.

Shi Wen silently counted the sheep and pigs here, and then continued walking uphill with Yan Kexing.

After walking for a while, Shi Wen arrived at the withered grove of trees where he had picked wood ear mushrooms yesterday.

There was also a group of sheep and pigs here, who, like the others, ate all the wood ear mushrooms, both the ones that had grown and the ones that had dried out.

Shi Wen silently took a picture of the withered trees and sent it to the group chat where Gong Jiang and the others belonged: [You don't need to come anymore, there are no more wood ear mushrooms.]

Ge Yue: [???]

Lin Chengqian: [????]

Gong Jiang: [Were these wood ear mushrooms stolen?]

Shi Wen: [No, it was stolen by the sheep and pigs. I didn't lock the mountain gate properly when I went down the mountain last night, and this morning the sheep and pigs came and ate everything edible, including these wood ear mushrooms.]

Ge Yue: [Is there absolutely nothing left?]

Ge Yue: [They're so strange, they actually steal wood ear mushrooms to eat!]

Shi Wen: [That's all. If you're interested, come and take a look.]

Ge Yue: [I still want to come and see for myself.]

Lin Chengqian: [Me too.]

Shi Wen: [Then come as planned. Once you arrive, go up the mountain on your own. We should still be patrolling the mountain.]

After Shi Wen the notification, Shi Wen put his phone in his pocket and said to Yan Kexing next to him, "Sending something like this in the group chat, I feel like I'm just making excuses."

Yan Kexing: "They'll see when they come over; it'll broaden their horizons."

Shi Wen, "Never mind them, let's keep going up. I want to see what else the sheep and pigs have eaten."

Speaking of this, Shi Wen feels mentally exhausted.

He's been raising sheep and pigs for over a year, and this is the first time he's discovered that they're so wild.

Did their boldness increase because their group size increased?

After walking uphill for a while, Shi Wen saw chestnut trees.

There was also a group of sheep and pigs under the chestnut tree.

They were stomping on the chestnuts with their hooves, squeezing out the chestnuts inside and eating them.

Seeing this Shi Wen truly impressed.

The chestnuts on the mountain are almost wild; their outer thorns are hard and sharp, and he almost punctured the soles of his shoes when he stepped on them.

The sheep and pigs, however, were able to easily squeeze the chestnuts out, chew them up shell and all, and eat them.

Shi Wen remarked with a sigh, "They really aren't picky eaters. Now I understand why there are so many wild boars in the wild."

Yan Kexing nodded thoughtfully. "They've always been incredibly adaptable to the wild. If they can successfully digest this junk food, maybe we can develop it to combat invasive plants next time."

Shi Wen this, Shi Wen wasn't very confident either. "They should be able to digest it, right? After all, they mainly eat grass, and there aren't any particularly mild grasses on our ranch."
