Chapter 31 (continued)

The sheepdogs were all at Pasture No. 3. Shi Wen thought that since there was a barbed wire fence, nothing should happen and there was no need to worry too much.

So after he released the sheep, he didn't really patrol them and just let them stay on the pasture for a day.

In the evening, Gong Jiang and his two Gong Jiang, brought back the goat, the dog, and the Hu Zai. Shi Wen went to bring back the ewe.

To his surprise, he found that the ewes had been chased by something and were all lying on the grass, panting heavily, looking extremely tired.

Several of the sheep had wounds on their bodies.

One ewe, in particular, had its ear torn off and dangling to one side, its body stained red with blood.

Shi Wen they saw Shi Wen arrive, the ewes weakly bleated at him.

Many ewes are still unable to stand up.

Shi Wen never expected that such a thing would happen when he was only gone for half a day.

He rushed over to check on them, then comforted each of the ewes and helped them up.

His ewes are quite resilient. Although they were attacked, the pregnancy is still going strong. There has been no bleeding, miscarriage, or death so far.

He circled around but couldn't figure out what was chasing the sheep. There were no security cameras on the pasture, so he had no choice but to herd the sheep back and treat its wounds first.

Gong Jiang and his two companions were still in his pasture when they saw him drive back a flock of blood-stained sheep. They were all startled. "What happened? How did the sheep get injured?"

"I don't know either," Shi Wen said wearily. "Maybe it was attacked by some wild animal?"

After examining it, Lin Chengqian said, "It might be a wolf or a fox."

"Maybe." Shi Wen found medicine and disinfectant at home. "I'll go treat the sheep's wounds first."

Gong Jiang quickly said, "We'll go too, and help you out."

As soon as Gong Jiang and his two companions arrived, their four dogs, two Hu Zai, and Cong Zai followed.

Apart from Heiwa, the other three dogs, two Hu Zai and Cong Zai, only followed along for the sake of watching the fun.

Heiwa's expression was very serious, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Heiwa is a sheepdog with a very strong sense of territory and self-esteem. Seeing the mother sheep injured, it felt angry and guilty, pacing back and forth in place.

The other dogs, Hu Zai, and even the little guys including Cong Zai, didn't dare to mess with it.

Shi Wen was busy treating the sheep's wounds and didn't have time to comfort it properly. He could only hug its neck with his arms and rub its head to offer silent comfort.

The most seriously injured was the ewe whose ear had almost fallen off. Shi Wen cleaned its wound with disinfectant, tied it to the fence, and asked Gong Jiang and the other two to help hold it down. Then, he sewed its ear back up with a needle.

Despite the anesthetic, the sheep was still bleating in pain, and it was almost impossible for several people to hold it down.

That was truly terrible.

Shi Wen thought bitterly, "Don't let him catch the guy who injured the sheep, or he'll definitely beat him up, no matter what kind of wild animal it is."

Gong Jiang looked rather upset and said, "It would be better if we split into two teams and didn't go herding the rams together."

Lin Chengqian said timidly, "When the teacher comes back from the meeting and finds the sheep injured, he'll definitely scold us."

Shi Wen knew that Lin Chengqian was asking him to intercede on his behalf. Since the matter wasn't really their fault, he shook his head and said, "No, Yan Kexing isn't the type to hold a grudge. You've all had a hard day; you should go back now."

Gong Jiang was still worried. "Brother Shi, why don't we stay here tonight? It's too unsafe for you to be here alone."

Shi Wen refused, saying, "No need. With so many sheepdogs here, if any wild animals dare to come, they'll be the ones who suffer."

Today was just an oversight; an accident occurred.

However, accidents are all too common on a ranch; it would be a miracle to go through a lifetime without an accident.

After Shi Wen treated the sheep's wounds, he didn't think much of it.

After treating Gong Jiang and the other two to dinner, he let them drive back to the city.

Before going to bed, Shi Wen would check the livestock shed, close all the doors, and make sure to close the main gate before climbing into bed and falling into a deep sleep.

I was startled awake in the middle of the night by Shi Wen.

The sky outside the window was dark and gloomy, and the cold autumn wind howled, carrying the distant barking of dogs.

Shi Wen it, I sense something is wrong.

He sat up and then realized there was a draft in the room!

He closed the doors and windows before going to bed.

Shi Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put on his clothes and got up to check.

To my surprise, when I went outside, I found that my two Hu Zai and Cong Zai, whom I kept at home, were gone!

Two Hu Zai that were so big have disappeared!

The house was empty, with the front door ajar.

The wind blew in through that crack, whistling and swirling inside the room.

He knew at a glance that Cong Zai must have opened the door and sneaked out, with the two Hu Zai following behind.

Shi Wen felt terrible.

I wonder where Cong Zai took the two Hu Zai?

Even if everyone's doing well, there's no need to be so extreme!

The two Hu Zai haven't been weaned yet!

The Hu Zai have run away; this is a real headache.

Fortunately, the ranch was surrounded by barbed wire, so they shouldn't have been able to escape. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know where to look for them.

Fortunately, the ranch is relatively safe, so even if wild animals came during the day, nothing serious should happen.

Shi Wen calming down and thinking things through, Shi Wen realized that finding the two Hu Zai was the most important thing.

Both Hu Zai had locators in their collars. Although the location wasn't very accurate in this sparsely populated area, the general direction was fine.

He took out his phone, checked the location and the Hu Zai's vital signs, then put on a thick coat, shone a powerful flashlight, and went out to search.

According to the data, both Hu Zai are healthy and there should be no problems.

When they went outside, Shi Wen noticed that the door to the livestock shed was open.
