Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland
Chapter 367 - 364: Hidden on the Ranch
The officers from the police station, knowing the zebra was at Jiang Feng’s ranch, felt utterly unruffled.
Bater directly said:
"Jiang Feng, you just keep it here, I’ll report to the Forest Department, and that’ll be it."
"You don’t know, the owner of that circus was a real piece of work."
"He decided to sell the animals, disbanded the circus, bought some pricey lions and tigers, then washed his hands of it and went abroad."
"Some animals were left in the tents at the time, and the caretakers didn’t care and just let them all loose."
"But don’t worry, the big predators didn’t escape, just the monkeys, pigeons, and a few teddy bears."
Hearing what Bater said, Jiang Feng was a bit surprised again.
Strange events happen every year, but this year seems to have more than usual.
"Teddy bears?" Jiang Feng asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, teddy bears doing a jump rope performance, the teddies could jump rope along with the performers. I even watched that part."
Bater continued.
Then the two chatted casually for a bit more.
Jiang Feng’s ranch was already responsible for wildlife protection duties.
Having the zebra here made perfect sense.
Later on, if other animals were found and identified as wildlife, they were likely to be sent to Jiang Feng as well.
As long as Jiang Feng was willing to accept them.
Jiang Feng currently had seven to eight thousand animals, mainly sheep, so having a few more wouldn’t be an issue at all.
After hanging up, Jiang Feng rode his horse to see the zebra.
Getting a bit closer, Jiang Feng gazed at the three zebras from afar.
The zebras gazed back at him.
"It’s quite ridiculous, seeing a zebra for the first time in my life, and it’s on my own ranch."
"This would be quite a shock for any herdsman."
Jiang Feng mused.
Hearing him say this, the online viewers laughed.
[Ranch owner, nothing surprising ever happens without you involved!]
[That’s really a zebra!]
[Those zebras sure look odd!]
[How are you going to handle those zebras?]
Jiang Feng merely watched the zebras.
"There’s nothing really to handle, they’ll just roam freely."
"When winter comes and it gets cold, I’ll find them a warm place."
After quietly observing the zebras for a while, Jiang Feng turned around and headed back to the ranch.
Back at the ranch, Jiang Feng went to the haystacks, intending to replenish the sheep pen with some hay.
Springtime means grazing is prohibited, so the cattle and sheep rely on hay.
He drove out a forklift, poked it into a large haystack, and placed the haystack beside the feeding trough of the sheep barn.
This was originally the staff’s job, but Jiang Feng, being idle, decided to do something himself by driving the forklift.
He was capable of operating all large machinery on the ranch.
Capable of doing any kind of work.
As Jiang Feng was lifting the second haystack, he heard a squeak.
The sound seemed to come from some animal.
Jiang Feng’s brows furrowed instantly.
He stopped the vehicle, got down, and peered into the haystack.
What he saw gave him quite a shock.
[What did the ranch owner see?]
[Show us too!]
[Is there some kind of treasure in the haystack?]
The online viewers were restless, eager to know.
And indeed, from the haystack emerged a monkey, a small monkey wearing clothes.
No wonder Jiang Feng was shocked.
"Come on, why are all the circus animals coming to my place?"
"What a joke."
At this moment, Jiang Feng recalled how, during mealtime the other day, Old Sun asked who stole the sausages. At that time, no one confessed, which left Old Sun quite upset.
Looking at it now, perhaps it was this little guy that sneaked into the kitchen to steal food.
"Come out!"
Jiang Feng called to the monkey.
The clever little monkey immediately climbed out of the haystack, grinning widely in a friendly manner.
[Holy cow! A monkey out of nowhere!]
[Ranch owner, what on earth are you up to?]
[You’ve left me stunned!]
[Just tell us what other animals you have on the ranch, so we can get an eyeful!]
Seeing the monkey emerge, the viewers were collectively dumbfounded.
Today’s stream was truly thrilling.
First zebras, now a monkey.
Full of surprises.
Jiang Feng looked at the little monkey before him.
It was dressed in a little red vest and wore a red hat on its head, the clothes looked a bit dirty.
While many people disliked monkeys—after all, monkeys in videos usually seemed quite fierce—the reality proved otherwise.
"This little fellow appeared on my ranch too."
"Forget it, let’s take it to Qingfeng Ranch. This is the breeding area; it’s not suitable for a monkey to live here."
Jiang Feng clicked his tongue in wonder.
The monkey stood on the haystack, scratching its ears and cheeks, at a loss.
Jiang Feng casually fed it a biscuit, and it happily ate it right away.
Then, Jiang Feng took the monkey into the car and headed straight to Qingfeng Ranch.
The monkey was well-behaved, sitting in the passenger seat, sticking its head out to look outside.
Jiang Feng called Zhang Kaitian and asked him to find a place to settle the monkey.
Coincidentally, the tiger’s caretaker, Hu Weimin, really liked monkeys. When he saw this monkey, he couldn’t put it down and wanted to keep it.
Hu Weimin had previously worked at a zoo and had experience feeding monkeys.
To this, Jiang Feng naturally agreed.
Qingfeng Ranch was quite lively.
As you walked further in, there were tiger woods and a bear house.
Sometimes Mrs. Jiang brought Golden Retriever Wangwang here for a walk; every time Wangwang came, it ran over to the little tigers to see its children.
The little tigers really liked Wangwang.
When the dog mom came in, there was always a tiger that actively went up and rubbed Wangwang’s body with its head.
This was probably the most domineering Golden Retriever on the prairie.
After arranging the monkey’s matter, Jiang Feng also called the police station.
Every day was so busy, the tasks never ended.
At this time, two Little Golden Retrievers also ran out, acting cute at Jiang Feng’s feet.
These two Golden Retrievers were raised at Qingfeng Ranch, and they were considered employees here.
Jiang Feng squatted down and petted the adorable Little Golden Retrievers, teasing them.
Dogs always make people relax.
At the same time, videos of zebras and monkeys from Jiangfeng Ranch were being crazily re-shared online.
A total of 180 million people had watched the zebra video.
Netizens found the scene very interesting.
"The host’s stunned look is too funny, hahaha!"
"Who wouldn’t be stunned seeing a zebra run into their home?"
"It’s too amusing!"
"The zebra looks quite strange."
Jiang Feng stirred up a sensation on the internet again.
He was quite used to it.
After seeing all the positive and amusing comments, Jiang Feng ended the stream and went home to take care of the kids.
"Is it really a zebra? That’s amazing."
"I want to go see it tomorrow too."
Liu Yiyi was very interested when she heard about the zebra.
"Sure, no problem."
Jiang Feng agreed readily.
The next day, Jiang Feng really brought Liu Yiyi to the pastureland.
Liu Yiyi had a white horse she had raised since she was little, and she also enjoyed horseback riding.
As the daughter of such a large ranch owner, she had her own exclusive horse, camel, and dog from a young age.
When she got married, these were part of her dowry and had to be brought along.
Liu Yiyi’s white horse was kept at Jiang Feng’s ranch, where most of the stallions were geldings, as was common on the prairie.
However, Red Hare, fulfilling the role of a breeding stallion, brought the little white horse into its harem.
Jiang Feng and Liu Yiyi rode their horses to the prairie to see the zebras.
A drone was broadcasting the scene live.
The image of the two riding side by side was particularly beautiful, making the netizens envious.
[Is that the ranch owner’s wife? It’s rare to see her on camera!]
[Her aura is really nice!]
[The ranch owner’s wife is super pretty. I’ve seen her in person over at Maodeng’s, and she has a lot of presence!]
[With the owner’s current status, his wife surely wouldn’t be lacking!]
The fans were all discussing enthusiastically.
Jiang Feng had the drone shoot from a high angle, looking down on them.
He and his wife, riding horses, quickly spotted three zebras.
"Over there, they’re really zebras!"
Liu Yiyi, upon seeing the zebras, felt delighted and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Yeah, don’t know how they showed up, but they’re here."
Riding side by side, Jiang Feng and Liu Yiyi saw the zebras grazing in the distance, creating a lovely scene.
At this moment, Red Hare didn’t forget to flirt with the white horse nearby, nudging its face sweetly.
"Red Hare, take it easy."
Seeing the two horses getting too close, Jiang Feng hurriedly said.
Red Hare quickly returned to normal.
Liu Yiyi felt great, breathing the prairie spring breeze, feeling refreshed and exhilarated.
Occasionally coming out to see the prairie felt nice.
After a while of watching, Liu Yiyi was quite satisfied and said:
"Alright, let’s go home to see the baby."
Liu Yiyi added.
"Let’s go home."
Jiang Feng said as well.
The two of them rode their horses back home.
