Chapter 32

Looks like the dogs have gone out too.

No, it should be the dogs going out first, then Cong Zai followed, and the two Hu Zai followed along with them.

Shi Wen, standing still, one can faintly hear the barking of dogs.

The direction from which the dog barks is located is the direction the collar is pointing.

This means they should be together.

Shi Wen grabbed a sturdy wooden stick and rode his motorcycle toward the location.

After riding for a while, Shi Wen and saw a bunch of animals fighting in the dark.

It was a complete free-for-all.

Various animals pounced and bit, kicking up dust and stirring up all sorts of fur.

Shi Wen glanced at it for a few seconds before he could roughly make out the situation of the battle.

Among them, Heiwa, Le Wa, Fu Wa, and Cong Zai are the main fighting force, while An Wa roams around, taking a bite out of the enemy when the opportunity arises.

They were fighting red foxes, which were also very fierce. In particular, when they fought with Cong Zai beat them so badly that their fur fell out, and the fur was very noticeable under the flashlight beam.

These guys are really fighting.

Two Hu Zai were acting as a mood-maker on the side, making little "woof" sounds that were clearly imitating dog barks.

Shi Wen black.

That perfectly normal Hu Zai, after only a few days at his house, even his accent has changed! What's going on?

But now is not the time to talk about that.

Shi Wen out. "Damn Red Fox!"

The Shi Wen startled all the animals, and the battle paused for a moment.

He could see it more clearly now.

These are clearly from the same family of red foxes.

There were big ones, small ones, and old ones; there were more than twenty in total.

They were fierce and ruthless; unable to bite the dogs and the Cong Zai, they attacked the Hu Zai instead.

The two Hu Zai's teeth hadn't fully grown in, and their claws were still tender, yet they dared to rush up and grab the fox, only to be bitten and made to bark and roll on the ground.

Fortunately, the Hu Zai had thick skin, and the dogs and Cong Zai were strong fighters, driving back the red foxes that were biting the Hu Zai and preventing them from continuing to bite them.

Judging from what Shi Wen, neither of the Hu Zai was seriously injured.

After all, they barked with great force, dodged and weaved nimbly, and even after repeated defeats, they still managed to bite the fox.

Shi Wen rushed up with a wooden stick and started hitting the red fox repeatedly, making it whimper.

The red foxes then stopped fighting and scattered and fled. Except for one that was bitten by Heiwa and Fu Wa respectively, the other red foxes escaped.

Both Heiwa and Fu Wa were fierce. The two foxes they bit were barely breathing, covered in blood, and clearly seriously injured.

This can be considered revenge for the ewes.

Shi Wen rescued the two red foxes, and then gently patted the dogs, Cong Zai, and the two Hu Zai to comfort them, before checking their wounds.

The little ones at home weren't seriously injured. The one who was paddling the water the most was An Wa, whose paws were bitten and were a bit bloody. However, the weather was cold and the wind was drying the blood and flesh, so there was no need to stop the bleeding for the time being.

He sighed Shi Wen and patted An Wa's head.

An Wa whimpered and snuggled into Shi Wen's arms.

The two Hu Zai imitated them, whimpering and Shi Wen each other.

Shi Wen finally understood why the two Hu Zai's accents had changed so much. These two are really eager to learn; they learn everything.

Shi Wen tied two red foxes to the back of the motorcycle, carried the injured An Wa on his back, and slung Cong Zai and two Hu Zai in front of him, letting Heiwa, Le Wa, and Fu Wa run alongside him as he slowly rode the motorcycle back.

Looks like I need to buy a small tricycle soon, otherwise I won't be able to take all my pets with me.

Back home, Shi Wen was quite exhausted. He treated the wounds of the little ones one by one, and then treated the wounds of the red fox—the red fox was hateful, but a beating would do the trick, it wouldn't kill him.

Shi Wen people calling Zhou Hongzhong.

Red foxes are a Class II protected animal in China; we can't let them die here.

He wasn't exactly a professional veterinarian, and since the red fox was so badly injured, he could only ask Captain Zhou to take it back and find someone to treat and care for it.

Zhou Hongzhong never expected that in the middle of the night, a group of red foxes would come to Shi Wen's house and fight with his sheepdog.

Upon hearing that Red Fox had been seriously injured, Zhou Hongzhong was even more alarmed and said he would bring people over immediately, asking Shi Wen a moment.

Shi Wen agreed.

Shi Wen call, the little ones at home are clearly exhausted, huddled together, eyes half-closed, and their stomachs rumbling.

I probably used up too much energy; I'm hungry now.

After such an exciting night, Shi Wen didn't feel sleepy at all, so he went to the refrigerator to get some frozen lamb and started cooking it for them.

In any case, the little ones protecting the pasture is commendable behavior, and this should be affirmed and rewarded promptly; otherwise, it will be difficult to train them in the future.

I'll have to reason with the Hu Zai about it tomorrow.

Moreover, this is part of the Hu Zai' rewilding process, so strictly speaking, it's not a problem.

It would be even better if the Hu Zai hadn't picked up the barking accent.

Late at night, Shi Wen cooked a small pot of mutton for the dogs and Cong Zai, and also chopped up some sweet and juicy tomatoes that she had grown herself.

As for the two Hu Zai, Shi Wen also prepared goat milk for them.

The two Hu Zai clearly weren't very interested in the goat milk, and kept peeking towards the dog's food bowl.

Shi Wen, Shi Wen gently pushed the limp Hu Zai aside. "Don't eat random things! Go drink your milk from your bowls!"

The two Hu Zai, in their haste, gently bit each other: "Woof--"

That accent.

Shi Wen the Hu Zai's babyish voice sometimes doesn't seem cute anymore. It's clearly a tiger, but it barks like a dog. How is he going to explain this to the client?

Melancholy.

Chapter 32

The car headlights pierced the thick darkness as it drove towards the Shi Wen ranch.

When the lights shone on the ranch entrance, all the dogs that were resting jumped to their feet and barked at the oncoming car, "Woof woof woof!"

The Hu Zai, who had already lain down, suddenly sat up, yelling, "Woof--"
