Shi Wen: "..."

Shi Wen, accompanied by a group of followers, went out to the door to greet Zhou Hongzhong and the others.

Zhou Hongzhong brought a young subordinate with him.

Shi Wen, especially when he saw the two Hu Zai clearly, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Zhou Hongzhong also looked surprised. "The two little tigers are quite lively here with you."

"They're almost mischievous Shi Wen rubbed his forehead. "Thank you for coming all this way so late at night."

Zhou Hongzhong: "Where? It's all what we should do. What about Red Fox?"

"At home, locked in the toilet," Shi Wen said. "I'll take you to see."

Although the red foxes were seriously injured, they were still wild animals, and carnivorous ones at that. Shi Wen didn't dare to let them out of the house, so he locked them in the toilet and locked the door.

Shi Wen took Zhou Hongzhong and the others to see it.

The two red foxes were still lying on the foot mat that Shi Wen had laid out. When they heard the sound, their thick ears twitched slightly.

Shi Wen looked at the red fox at his feet and said, "I've done some initial bandaging, and I can only tell that they don't have any broken bones. I don't know if their internal organs are injured; you'll have to take them back for an examination with instruments."

The young man behind Zhou Hongzhong, wearing white gloves, squatted down and touched the red fox all over, saying, "It probably isn't seriously injured; it's just pretending to be dead."

Shi Wen: "Huh?"

The young man placed his hand on the chest of one of the red foxes. "Its heartbeat is strong and healthy, and its breathing is fine."

As he spoke, the young man pried open the red fox's eyes and looked at its pupils. "Hmm, it's definitely an act."

I never expected things to Shi Wen out this way, and I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhou Hongzhong laughed heartily, "That's why they say a cunning fox!"

The two red foxes were unharmed, and everyone was relieved.

As for them playing dead--

Well, playing dead is an animal's tradition, Shi Wen can only say that he lacks experience with it, but he'll get the hang of it next time.

After inspecting the red foxes, Zhou Hongzhong asked Shi Wen, "How much damage did your ranch suffer? If the damage is significant, you can apply to us for compensation."

Shi Wen his hand and said, "There's no loss. Let's leave it for those who need it more."

Since there was no significant loss and no irreparable consequences, Zhou Hongzhong and his group quickly drove away with the two red foxes.

After Shi Wen them off, Shi Wen yawned and turned to go back to his room; he needed to get some sleep.

I have a ton of things to do this morning.

A few hours later, the sun rose.

Shi Wen him leading his dogs and two Hu Zai, herding sheep and cows to graze.

The dogs were running around.

Mist rose from the ditches of the pasture, and the mist was particularly thick over the distant mountains.

At this moment, the warm yellow sunlight poured down, and the leaves on the trees at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside had already begun to turn yellow, appearing even more vibrant under the morning sun.

Shi Wen slowly herding cattle and sheep, their bodies warmed by the sun, yawning as they walk.

The cattle and sheep walked very slowly, occasionally lowering their heads to nibble on the newly grown grass.

Upon arriving at their destination, Shi Wen he, along with the dogs and Hu Zai, searched along the barbed wire fence to see how the fox had gotten in.

After searching for a while, Fu Wa started barking ahead.

Shi Wen walked over, he discovered a newly dug hole under the barbed wire fence.

The hole was quite large. Shi Wen stretched his arm to the opening and measured it; the diameter of the opening was at least twenty centimeters.

No wonder the fox was able to squeeze in.

Shi Wen up and around.

The pasture may have been lush with water and grass, attracting rabbits and field mice, which in turn attracted foxes, which is why foxes appeared in the pasture.

It seems we'll have to patrol more and be more vigilant from now on.

When the sheep are driven out to graze again, at least one person, either a person or a sheepdog, should come along.

In two years, once they've stayed here long enough, the nearby animals will realize they're not to be trifled with and probably won't come near anymore.

Now that I deal with animals more often, Shi Wen more and more clearly that animals have their own kind of intelligence. After hitting a wall many times, they know to turn back.

So things should stabilize in a couple of years.

Shi Wen left the dogs on the ranch, but took the Hu Zai back with him.

The two Hu Zai are too small; we need to take them back to nurse them.

The two Hu Zai were quite defiant and wanted to stay and play with the dogs. They squirmed and barked in his arms, but he eventually managed to subdue them and carry them back.

When Shi Wen returned home, there was a car parked at the entrance of the ranch.

He glanced at the license plate and realized it was unfamiliar, which puzzled him.

Just as he was wondering, Fu Meng and his men got out of the car.

Shi Wen Fu Meng saw the Hu Zai in Shi Wen's arms, he was first surprised. "They all said you raised a tiger, so it's true."

Shi Wen, "The animals that were fostered at the breeding center and are staying with me will be returned to them when they are a little older."

Fu Meng clicked his tongue in amazement. "This is the first time I've ever seen a live tiger."

The middle-aged man beside him also looked on with curiosity. When he met Shi Wen's gaze, the man smiled and nodded, "Mr. Shi, hello."

Fu Meng introduced him to Shi Wen: "This is Ma Chengfeng, the president of our city's animal husbandry association."

Shi Wen, "Chairman Ma, hello. May I ask what brings you here?"

"That's right," Ma Chengfeng said, "The autumn trade fair is about to begin, and we'd like to invite you to provide guidance."

Fu Meng explained it to Shi Wen then learned that there was a major trade fair held in the pastoral area every autumn.

In addition to herders and livestock dealers, the trade fair also featured experts invited by the livestock association.

When herders or livestock dealers are unsure about a particular animal, they can consult experts for free to avoid making a mistake and incurring significant losses.

This is a measure taken by the livestock association to ensure fair trade.

Shi Wen arriving here, Shi Wen has received a lot of help from others.
