Chapter 33

For example, when he went to buy a sick cow, a respected herdsman from the neighborhood came to witness it.

He readily agreed when he was needed.

Shi Wen, "If you trust me, I can go and take a look, but I'm not sure if my judgment is always accurate."

Ma Chengfeng flattered, "You yourself said your judgment is inaccurate, but there's no one in the pastoral area with accurate judgment."

Fu Meng laughed from the side, "That's right. Your eye for talent is recognized throughout the town. Those ewes of yours were either bought from the market or from Brother Zhang's sheepfold. They were originally mostly intended to be meat sheep, but now, after you raised them, each one is no different from the breeding sheep that others have carefully bred."

Shi Wen knew that Fu Meng was speaking up for him, and smiled, "Anyway, if you dare to invite me, I dare to go. If I make a mistake, don't blame me."

"Who would dare blame you?" Ma Chengfeng took the invitation out of his pocket. "Since you've agreed, let's meet at the bazaar in the city on October 12th. I'd appreciate it if you could help me choose the breeding sheep then."

Shi Wen accepted the invitation, glanced at the time and place written on it, and said, "Okay, I'll definitely be there."

Fu Meng and Ma Chengfeng left after handing out the invitations.

They also need to consult other experts.

A short while later, the sound of a car Shi Wen be heard outside again.

Thinking Zhang Deyuan had arrived, he hurried out, calling out towards the door as he went, "He's here—"

When they went outside, they found that it wasn't Zhang Deyuan who had arrived, but Yan Kexing had returned from a meeting.

As Yan Kexing got out of the car, he looked up at Shi Wen Shi Wen, "Who did you meet up with?"

Yan Kexing's eyes were very deep, and his face was as handsome as a meticulously sculpted sculpture.

Even though he asked that question, Shi Wen didn't find it offensive; instead, she found him adorable.

It sounds like she's jealous.

Shi Wen smiled and explained, "I invited Brother Zhang to come over to my house today to deliver milk goats."

Shi Wen there are so many sheep at home, but none of them are in their lactation period.

The two Hu Zai are currently mainly fed goat milk powder.

Goat milk powder is also good, but it doesn't taste as good as fresh goat milk.

Shi Wen was thinking of improving the treatment of the two Hu Zai, so he asked Zhang Deyuan to help him buy two good dairy goats.

Zhang Deyuan said he would deliver it today, and that's when he realized the car noise outside was Zhang Deyuan arriving.

Yan Kexing nodded.

Standing at the ranch gate, Shi Wen asked, "Did the meeting go smoothly this time?"

"A pointless meeting, just endless bickering." Yan Kexing walked side by side with Shi Wen into the ranch. "How have things been going for you at home these past few days?"

"Don't even mention it, it's like a war every day." Shi Wen his hand. "Just yesterday, the sheep were attacked by a red fox. Then Heiwa gathered the other dogs and went to fight the red fox in the middle of the night. The two Hu Zai also sneaked out to fight; they're not even weaned yet, but they dared to take on the red fox one-on-one."

As they were talking, the Hu Zai slipped out of the house and wobbled happily toward Shi Wen and Yan Kexing.

Shi Wen glanced at the Hu Zai and said helplessly to Yan Kexing, "That's how it is. The two Hu Zai at home are becoming more and more like dogs."

Yan Kexing looked at the two Hu Zai rushing towards him.

The two Hu Zai were running around like puppies; tigers don't usually run that energetically.

Tiger cubs don't usually run like this.

Presumably without a mother tiger to teach them, they chose dogs as their role models when learning.

Yan Kexing didn't mind. "It'll be fine if he's a little older."

"It's probably unlikely." Shi Wen used his foot to stop the two Hu Zai. "Let me tell you how they're screaming."

The two Hu Zai were tripped Shi Wen and rolled around, ending up in a heap.

They weren't angry when they fell down. They just lay down on the spot, twisted their bodies, covered their faces with their paws, and showed Shi Wen their soft little bellies, indicating that Shi Wen come and rub them.

Shi Wen squatted down, rubbed his belly, and commanded, "Scream—"

The two Hu Zai immediately barked their tender little voices, "Woof--"

Shi Wen looked up and said to Yan Kexing, "That's it, no matter how I correct it, it's still this broken accent."

Yan Kexing smiled broadly, "It's alright. Just learn to hunt and stay wild. Cubs do like to imitate."

Shi Wen didn't relax. "Speaking of hunting, I feel they've learned some things from dogs; their hunting habits are somewhat like those of canines."

Yan Kexing asked, "Don't they learn from the Cong Zai?"

"They can learn too," Shi Wen said. "The Cong Zai are more agile; they can't learn that."

Cong Zai a cat so fierce it can even fight dogs; it's agile and ruthless, and it can take a dog less than a minute to handle it.

Two Hu Zai won't do.

They are all chubby, with thick, short bodies and weak hind legs, sometimes having to drag themselves along on their front legs. Forget about learning to hunt Cong Zai, they can even fall on flat ground occasionally.

Shi Wen only realized after raising Hu Zai that these two, though called ferocious beasts, actually have personalities somewhat like huskies.

Maybe only his two Hu Zai look like tigers, otherwise he'll never be able to look at tigers the same way again.

"They're still too young," Shi Wen said to Yan Kexing with a sigh.

Yan Kexing, who usually didn't like wasting time, was particularly patient listening to him talk about these mundane matters. "It's alright, at worst we can take them to the Linzi for special training when they grow up."

Shi Wen even more dejected. "I don't know how."

Yan Kexing: "It's alright, leave it to me."

Shi Wen said, "It's settled then. If it really doesn't work out, you can take over from now on."

Yan Kexing responded softly, "I'll take care of it from now on."

Chapter 33

Old Man Ma arrived at Shi Wen's house early in the morning and took his pregnant ewes and cows to pasture at Pasture No. 1. His two dogs, Heiwa and Fu Wa, also went along.

Shi Wen then drove the rams to Pasture No. 2, leaving the two dogs, Le Wa and An Wa, to guard them.

By the time we got home, the sun had been up for quite a while, and the pasture was blindingly white. Shi Wen was sweating.

He went into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and came out wrapped in a towel.
