Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland
Chapter 364 - 361: You Can Touch a Tiger’s Butt as You Please!
The sound of a baby crying came from the room.
In no time, Xiaojin Hua hurriedly ran in, tilting her head to look at the child.
Jiang Feng and Liu Yiyi had gotten used to this.
In fact, they would even let Xiaojin Hua soothe the child.
Jiang Feng held the child, showing him Xiaojin Hua’s demeanor.
As soon as Little One saw the dog, he stopped crying.
He even stretched out his little hand, babbling and laughing, trying to stroke Xiaojin Hua’s head.
Jiang Feng placed him in front of Xiaojin Hua.
Xiaojin Hua remained still, allowing Little One to touch her.
Jiang Feng and Liu Yiyi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking care of a child is truly exhausting, especially when the child loves to cry.
Luckily, they had Xiaojin Hua as their secret weapon.
As long as she was around, Little One wouldn’t cry.
Xiaojin Hua gazed gently at the child, quietly standing guard.
In her mind, she probably thought: Without me, this family would fall apart sooner or later.
After struggling to get the child to laugh, both of them sighed in relief.
They planned that in a couple of days, Liu Yiyi would return to the city, where Mrs. Jiang could help look after the child and ease some of the pressure.
In the evening, the couple got busy with their own affairs again.
Amidst their busyness, the child somehow seemed to be disturbed, starting to cry.
"The child is crying..."
Liu Yiyi glanced to the side, furrowing her brows slightly, and whispered.
"We’ll check on him in a bit, we’ll check on him in a bit."
Jiang Feng continued with his work.
At this point, Xiaojin Hua rushed in from the living room, then ran to the baby’s crib, leaning in to soothe the child.
The night was quite hectic.
The next day, the usual broadcast began.
Life on the ranch remained the same: mother sheep birthed their lambs, helping with the lambing, planting pasture, and waiting for the grass to green up.
Pastoralists on the grassland had no extreme pressures; they just needed to finish the tasks at hand.
Jiang Feng did his usual rounds before heading to the Qingfeng Ranch reserve to check on the tigers.
In the park, the six-month-old cubs were all very healthy.
There were three in total, all Northeast Tigers, two brown and one white.
The cubs were already bigger than a Golden Retriever.
At this moment, the Golden Retriever was also in the park.
It stood calmly, and the cubs approached it affectionately.
"Today, let’s check out the cubs."
"These tigers have been raised by me since they were young. I haven’t spent much time with them during the winter, but they still remember me."
Jiang Feng entered the park straight from the back room.
The drone continued to livestream.
As soon as Jiang Feng entered the park, the tiger cubs immediately ran over, and Wangwang followed along.
The little ones were especially adorable, already teenagers, and very lively.
They eagerly crowded around Jiang Feng.
Seeing this, netizens felt envious once again.
[Let go of those three cats, let me come!]
[Owner, send me one!]
At this time, the tiger keeper Hu Weimin was also nearby, ready with bottles of milk, which he handed over to Jiang Feng.
Then, Jiang Feng’s bottle-feeding session began.
Feline animals love milk; this habit doesn’t change.
Some cats even become fathers and still compete for milk with their own kittens, often getting a good "beating" from the mother cat.
While bottle-feeding, Jiang Feng suddenly had an idea, glancing at the larger park nearby.
In that park were four adult tigers, two of whom were older and barely moved.
In the last stage of their life, they’d come to this beautiful forest to retire, desiring only to quietly enjoy this time.
The tigress had recovered from her depression, yet she continued abandoning her cubs.
This is too common in zoos; tigresses frequently abandon their cubs, and it’s the keepers who take care or find a dog mommy to help.
There was also an adult tiger, the father of the cubs.
This guy was in great shape, robust all over, but his gaze gave off a goofy vibe.
He was closest to Jiang Feng; whenever Jiang Feng came near the bars, he’d shove himself over to watch for a long time.
Through some interactions, the tiger bore no malice towards Jiang Feng, more like he wanted to make friends.
Currently, only Hu Weimin got close to this tiger since it was raised by him.
The adult tiger is named "Huanhuan," quite a common name.
At this point, Jiang Feng thought of something and asked Hu Weimin to prepare another bottle of milk.
Then, he walked toward the adjacent park.
Soon enough, Huanhuan trotted over.
Man and tiger stood looking at each other through the bars.
The pressure from an adult tiger was frighteningly immense, especially this Northeast Tiger, the fiercest breed among tigers.
Just its presence made one’s adrenaline spike.
As netizens watched the live stream, they felt a bit anxious, their palms sweaty.
Jiang Feng called out to the tiger, "Huanhuan, come over."
Upon hearing his words, the large tiger moved its head closer.
It was still cute, even as a big tiger.
Then Jiang Feng stretched his hand over the bars, handing out the bottle of milk.
Seeing this scene, netizens widened their eyes, barely believing it.
Sticking his hand right inside?
Wasn’t this asking for trouble?
At that point, the large tiger smelled the milk and immediately nudged over, holding the milk teat with its huge tiger mouth and starting to suck.
Its mouth was so big it nearly swallowed the milk bottle in one go.
Yet it was sucking earnestly.
Netizens’ tension dissipated instantly, leaving them surprised, wondering why this tiger was acting so cat-like.
While Jiang Feng fed the big tiger, he took the opportunity to reach out with his other hand and stroke the tiger’s head.
The big tiger didn’t resist.
One must say, touching the big tiger felt particularly nice.
Especially the white fur on its neck, soft and warm.
Soon, one milk bottle was drained by the tiger.
Jiang Feng placed the empty bottle on the ground and used both hands to pet the tiger.
The tiger raised its head, unexpectedly enjoying the attention with squinting eyes.
Its unremarkable behavior led netizens to lament:
[Huanhuan, you’re supposed to be the king of the beasts, act the part—stop being like a kitty!]
[Beasts shall never yield, unless there’s room and board included.]
[Tiger: I wanted to eat him, but his massage is so comfy!]
[Owner, I want your massage too!]
The tiger indeed lacked the majesty of a king among beasts.
Having been raised in a zoo, that’s perfectly normal.
At this point, Hu Weimin stepped over, introduced:
"Huanhuan is the mildest tempered tiger, never ferocious, though he doesn’t love contact either."
"He really likes the owner."
Upon hearing that, Jiang Feng said, "I’m thinking of going inside, should be okay, right?"
Hu Weimin was startled, replying, "Better be cautious about that."
"No worries."
Jiang Feng waved his hand.
Then, Jiang Feng opened the iron gate, entering the tiger forest.
The area was spacious, with other tigers resting near the fake mountain and pond.
Upon seeing Jiang Feng enter, Huanhuan also approached.
Seeing this footage, netizens tensed up once more.
[Owner, don’t tempt fate!]
[So terrifying!]
[What happens if this tiger suddenly attacks?]
Yet the expected scene never unfolded.
Huanhuan moved slowly, leisurely, just standing by.
He even used his big head to nudge Jiang Feng’s body.
Just like a house cat.
The difference was the tiger’s strength; with such a nudge, Jiang Feng felt like something was pushing him.
Jiang Feng petted Huanhuan again.
Then, unexpectedly, the large tiger lay down right there, glancing at Jiang Feng, signaling him to pet it without restraint.
Unable to hold back, Jiang Feng laughed:
"Seems he wants me to give him a massage, this fat tiger really knows how to enjoy."
Jiang Feng squatted down, gently petting the tiger’s body.
The tiger closed its eyes comfortably.
This wondrous scene astonished spectators, but they soon burst into laughter.
[The owner’s streams are always so unexpected!]
[Truly, this ranch owner is quite daring!]
[Technician Jiang has impressive skills, will be sure to request you for future sessions!]
Jiang Feng massaged the tiger all over for a while, reaching the base of its tail, noticing its large rear.
Unable to resist, Jiang Feng lightly slapped the tiger’s rear.
The moment he did, the tiger tilted its head to look at him.
Merely a glance, the tiger lay down again instantly.
"Don’t pat a tiger’s rear," is an old saying.
If you know the technique, spanking a tiger’s rear isn’t a big deal.
Of course, just be gentle enough.
