Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: The Little Border Collie Herds Lambs, Genes Awaken!

Jiang Feng was riding a horse, strolling across the grassland.

Looking at the cattle and sheep in the distance, he couldn't help but softly comment:

"I feel like the pasture still isn't big enough, not as spacious as back home."

"When I have the money, I need to rent another 10,000 acres."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, many netizens responded:

[Owner, please stop flaunting!]

[10,000 acres isn't enough? This is Maodeng Ranch you're talking about! As a herdsman, I'm almost dying of envy!]

[The owner is indeed rich and powerful!]

[Rich guy, send me 50 bucks. Hope you don't ignore me!]

Jiang Feng continued leisurely on horseback, further stating:

"In terms of area, this place indeed doesn't compare to mine. My family has three people, but the whole clan has nine. That includes my uncle, aunt, and cousin. Everyone gets over 4,000 acres, totaling more than 36,000 acres of land."

"But this season over there is desolate, with little grass left, and can't sustain many sheep."

"About two or three years of rejuvenation, and my family's grasslands will sprout new grass again."

"Here it's just 10,000 acres of land, but luckily the water and grass are lush, all grass, can raise plenty of cattle and sheep."

[The streamer has several tens of thousands of acres of grasslands at home?]

[My poverty confines my imagination.]

[Goodness, I always thought the streamer had little land!]

At this, Jiang Feng recalled something and laughed:

"When I started university, I chatted with my roommates, saying my family sold sheep to support my schooling. They all thought I came from a poor family, so they often took care of me, always treating me to meals."

"Then, during the summer after freshman year, they came to visit my home."

"After seeing my 4,000 sheep, they couldn't stay calm."

"From that point on, I treated them to meals just as often."

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, netizens burst into laughter.

[Roommate: Thought the streamer was a poor kid, turns out to be a grassland rich heir!]

[With over 4,000 sheep at home, selling ten sheep is still selling sheep to support the streamer through university!]

[Haha, would love to see the roommates' reaction upon seeing the streamer's family situation!]

[Roommate turned out to be completely oblivious!]

[Streamer is too low-key. If I had his wealth and looks, I'd transform into an unyielding pile driver, staking everywhere.]

[You only know about staking.]

Jiang Feng chatted casually with the netizens.

The herding process is somewhat dull; chatting with everyone lightens the mood.

At that moment, he saw a red figure racing towards him from afar.

It was the red wild horse.

The wild horse galloped like fire, its mane flowing in the wind, exuding a sense of freedom and untamed spirit.

Ranch employees glanced at the wild horse.

Yang Maolin and Niu Erhu's eyes revealed admiration and envy.

What a magnificent horse!

Hard to believe even the Mongolia horse tamers couldn't tame it, yet the ranch owner managed somehow.

Impressive!

The vermillion wild horse rushed to Jiang Feng's side.

The horse swayed back and forth, emitting occasional whinnies, appearing agitated.

Sensing the wild horse's emotions, Jiang Feng's domestic horse was slightly apprehensive, shifting its front hooves a little, turning its head away.

Seeing the wild horse's anxiety, Jiang Feng laughed immediately:

"Alright, alright, I won't ride it, I'll ride you."

Jiang Feng smoothly dismounted his domestic horse, took the Border Collie, and mounted the wild horse.

Only then did the wild horse calm down.

Jiang Feng chuckled, addressing the netizens:

"This wild horse is a bit jealous, doesn't want me riding other horses."

"Didn't expect it to have such a personality."

"But it's good because I need to adapt as well."

"From now on, I'll call it Red Hare."

The netizens also laughed.

[The wild horse's possessiveness is surprisingly strong!]

[My cat's the same. If I pet other kittens, my cat looks all aggrieved when I get home.]

[I've seen a video where a zookeeper almost made his elephant cry by riding another elephant!]

[Hahaha, animals' emotions are pure indeed!]

Jiang Feng rode Red Hare.

Red Hare was very steady, even at a gentle trot, it didn't feel jolting.

It seems this horse has become quite familiar with being domesticated and has become Jiang Feng's exclusive mount.

Thus, one man, one dog, and one horse galloped across the grassland, following the cattle and sheep afar.

A drone captured this scene from above.

The footage remained light-hearted.

Upon reaching the herding location, Jiang Feng found a high slope, dismounted from Red Hare, and let it roam free.

Red Hare ran to a spot not far from Jiang Feng, lay on the grass, and began rolling around.

Like a carefree child.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng laughed, saying:

"Red Hare is really happy."

"When horses are happy, they love to frolic and roll on the grass to express their excitement."

"It's quite adapted to this pasture."

"Looking at it this way, to love a wild horse, you truly need a grassland."

Jiang Feng's offhand remark set the netizens buzzing again.

[As long as the grassland is big enough, you can raise many wild horses.]

[I don't have a grassland, I'll have to steal someone else's wild horses.]

[Does the owner lack wild horses? I'm twisting on the grass, more lively than a wild horse!]

[This foreign netizen, please exercise restraint!]

[I also want to be this wild on the grassland!]

[Geez, the wild adventure guy shows up again!]

...

Jiang Feng saw the lively chat feed.

He didn't mind any of it, just sat on the grass, watching his flock.

Closest to him, a lamb followed its mother.

Finding the lamb adorable, Jiang Feng called out:

"Hey!"

The lamb turned to look at Jiang Feng.

"Come here!" Jiang Feng gestured towards it.

Seeing the video, the netizens momentarily stopped their chatter.

The lamb stood beside its mother, tilting its head, scrutinizing Jiang Feng.

On such a large ranch, sheep aren't particularly afraid of people.

Plus, young lambs often have the herdsmen's close affection, sticking with them no matter what they do.

Nice looks equate to justice.

The lamb was clean and cute, comfortable to have around.

"Come here!"

Jiang Feng called and smiled warmly to the lamb.

A few adult sheep looked over, and the lamb curiously moved towards Jiang Feng.

It walked cautiously, lowered its head to graze after every two steps, but still gradually approached Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng told the viewers in the streaming room:

"Lambs are comparatively closer to humans, especially at this age, staying by their mother's side, curious about everything."

"So if you call it, it will come."

"Plus, when the herd returns, the lamb can wander around the yard, it won't run wild, they're particularly obedient."

As he spoke, the lamb drew near him.

Just as he was about to play with the lamb, Xiaojin Hua got excited, sprinted to the lamb's side, crouched, and assumed an attack posture, crawling forward.

It seems like it's trying to drive the lamb closer to Jiang Feng!

[Hahaha, this Little Border Collie hasn't weaned yet and already knows how to herd sheep!]

[Seeing a sheep approach, its genes awaken, for sure!]

[This little dog is so cute!]

[Such adorable fierceness! Too funny!]

The chat feed kept rolling.

Jiang Feng sat on the grass, watching the scene with great interest.

The lamb noticed the Border Collie approaching and wasn't frightened at all.

Without fear like a newborn calf, lambs are braver when young.

It stepped forward two more paces, tilting its head forward, looking like it wanted to bump into Xiaojin Hua.

Xiaojin Hua skillfully retreated a step, then continued to crouch forward, body like an arrow, a hint of aggression present.

Border Collies herd sheep relying mainly on their presence; sheer strength alone can't tame a flock.

The lamb, unfazed by the collie, felt a bit daunted.

It stepped forward again, weaker than the first attempt, its presence much reduced.

Seeing its presence weaken, Xiaojin Hua came pressing closer.

Ultimately, the lamb got scared, retreated a couple of steps, and ran over to Jiang Feng's side.

Xiaojin Hua saw the lamb run over and stopped its attack stance, lying down on the grass to rest.

Jiang Feng was pleasantly surprised; this little puppy is truly smart, perfectly inheriting the virtues from its parents.

Truly a treasure!
