Chapter 299 - 296: The White Wolf’s Unique Behavior and the Art of Dancing with Wolves
The cute alpacas amused the netizens in the livestreaming room.
These fellows are quite large but look very adorable, especially when their mouths twist to the side, it’s truly amusing.
Jiang Feng was inside the enclosure when the ranch employee Hadan hurried over.
Hadan could only watch from afar.
Seeing Hadan, Jiang Feng recalled something funny from a few days ago and said:
"Everyone, don’t be fooled by the alpaca’s cuteness; if you approach rashly, they’ll spit at you."
"And that spit is particularly plentiful, an average person can’t handle it at all."
"One of our ranch employees approached an alpaca a few days ago and got a solid spit in the face."
"So even if you’re at the tourist ranch and see an alpaca, don’t get too close."
Jiang Feng’s words immediately piqued everyone’s interest.
[Owner, make them spit so I can see.]
[I’ve seen videos of alpacas spitting, but I thought it was just a rare occurrence!]
[Alpacas actually spit?]
The bullet screen exploded.
Hadan, this guy, is also someone who loves to show off. Since he’s Jiang Feng’s employee, he’s somewhat known by a few people.
Hadan took out his phone to watch Jiang Feng’s livestream and, seeing what the comments said, volunteered to perform.
"Manager, you step out; I’ll see if they recognize me."
"Logically, it shouldn’t happen; I’m known as a handsome young chap on the grassland, yet these alpacas target me to spit."
Hearing Hadan say this, Jiang Feng naturally didn’t stop him.
"Be careful."
Jiang Feng walked outside to the yard.
As he stepped outside, Hadan headed towards the alpacas.
"Come, come, little alpaca, let me pet you."
Hadan approached with a smiling face.
The drone was live-streaming the scene.
The alpacas, initially appearing cute and obedient by Jiang Feng’s side,
became serious once they saw Hadan.
Additionally, the netizens could clearly see that these alpacas seemed to furrow their brows.
That’s just how authentic animals are.
If they don’t like you, they don’t like you.
Hadan approached a white alpaca, stretching out his hand, intending to pat its head.
The alpaca, seeing him approach, took a sharp breath and then,
"Hah—peh—"
A large mouthful of spit shot out.
Seeing this, Hadan quickly ran backward, appearing extremely flustered.
Netizens couldn’t help but laugh at such a scene.
[Hahaha, this alpaca is hilarious!]
[That’s an ’82 vintage phlegm!]
[So much spit!]
[This guy’s funny, daring to get so close!]
Hadan ran backward, waving his hand and saying, "Forget it, I’m not bothering with them, luckily it didn’t hit my face."
He sighed, recalling some unpleasant memories.
Jiang Feng, standing nearby, chuckled, "Take your time; once the alpacas get familiar with you, just feed them a few times."
The alpacas gazed at Hadan from afar, holding their heads high, appearing rather proud. These creatures do have a tsundere attribute.
Animals at the ranch always bring joy to people.
In the afternoon.
Jiang Feng was preparing to livestream the scene where herdsmen in the pastoral area slaughter cattle and sheep.
There’s not much to see in the slaughter itself, but if it’s in the pastoral area, wolves may come during the process.
On the one hand, wolves wait for the herdsmen to feed them.
On the other hand, after the herdsmen cut the meat, wolves will eat the leftover scraps on the ground.
It’s a rather cold and merciless process, yet it also represents a true face of nature.
In remote areas, herdsmen are also part of nature.
Just at this moment, the white wolf, Xiao Yue, came to Jiang Feng, looking a bit downcast, whining a few times in front of him.
"What’s wrong? Why so unhappy?"
Jiang Feng, concerned about Xiao Yue, immediately squatted down to ask.
Usually, Xiao Yue is quite cool, but still retains many wolf-like behaviors, such as howling and submission.
Although Xiaojin Hua has the most friends and is the leader of the street population, the black border collie, Lucky, is actually the leading dog according to the rankings of the pastoral dogs on the ranch.
Xiao Yue considers Lucky the alpha wolf, having a strong sense of hierarchy.
It has a good friend relationship with Xiaojin Hua.
Today, since the white wolf took the initiative to approach Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng knew something was up with Xiao Yue, so he showed concern for its condition.
Xiao Yue didn’t say anything, just tilted its head, and softly howled twice.
Jiang Feng examined Xiao Yue’s body carefully.
He had the knowledge of a veterinarian and could check whether Xiao Yue was injured.
But Xiao Yue seemed in good health.
"Not injured, so is something on your mind?" Jiang Feng pondered, perplexed.
The white wolf stopped whining, it just acted cute beside Jiang Feng, then circled him twice.
[Is the white wolf treating the owner as a sheep? Is it trying to drive him?]
[The white wolf’s not acting right!]
[This is the most handsome wolf I’ve ever seen in a pack!]
[It seems like it wants to say something.]
Netizens were also speculating.
At this time, the white wolf began running outward again.
It looked back at Jiang Feng after taking a few steps.
"Do you want me to follow?"
Jiang Feng immediately followed.
Jiang Feng initially thought the White Wolf wanted him to see something, but after running outside the pasture, the White Wolf stopped again.
It lifted its head to the sky and let out a long howl at Jiang Feng.
At this moment, Jiang Feng finally understood.
He sighed and said:
"Xiao Yue has entered mating season, March to April is mating season for wolves."
"It probably wants to go outside to find a mate, after all, it’s the only wolf in the pasture."
"It wants to leave, and is saying goodbye to me."
The White Wolf was saying goodbye.
This departure, who knows when it will return, or even if it will return.
Although Jiang Feng was reluctant, there was nothing he could do.
On one hand, prairie wolves can only be fostered on the pasture, and the law does not allow him to restrict the wolf’s freedom unless the wolf willingly follows him.
On the other hand, Jiang Feng wouldn’t restrict the White Wolf.
"It’s very smart, although I don’t know why the wolf pack sent it to my pasture that night, but it truly has the most unique talent among the wolf pack."
"It always lived very well on the pasture, but now it ultimately has to leave."
Jiang Feng lamented.
The White Wolf’s family had come to see it twice before, but it did not leave with them.
But this time, it wanted to go on its own.
"Alright, go on, it’s your own matter, make your own decision."
Jiang Feng waved his hand.
At this moment, he truly felt like an old father, deeply worried.
The White Wolf gave another long howl to the sky.
The howling echoed over the pasture.
Then, the White Wolf turned and ran towards the depths of the pasture.
The White Wolf is very physically fit, more formidable than ordinary wolves, and there are no natural enemies outside, so there’s no need to worry about the White Wolf’s safety.
Yet seeing the creature leave, Jiang Feng still felt a bit despondent.
At this moment, Xiaojin Hua also ran out.
It came out to see because it heard the wolf’s howl.
Seeing the back of the White Wolf, Xiaojin Hua tilted its head, its cute little face full of confusion.
Jiang Feng said no more, patted Xiaojin Hua, and walked towards the inside of the pasture.
[Host, ’the loss of a horse can bring fortune.’ Perhaps like the horse lost in the story, the White Wolf will not only return after a while but bring back a few little ones.]
A fan comforted him.
Of course, he was only comforting, whether his words would come true was uncertain.
"Life is like this, always full of partings and reunions."
"Still have to go deep into the pasture today, I have a friend there."
"He said recently that when they slaughter cattle, a few wolves wait nearby."
"Everyone don’t worry, this situation is not uncommon."
After adjusting his mood, Jiang Feng introduced today’s livestream content to the viewers.
Then, he turned off the livestream and drove straight to the depths of the pasture.
About two hours later, the livestream resumed.
On the boundless wilderness, there were several yurts, a few wooden houses, and some paddocks.
This is the true lifestyle of the prairie pastoralists.
Jiang Feng’s friend Gult was just slaughtering cattle.
The cattle had been slaughtered, only the last few steps remained for processing.
Around this area was frozen soil, the grass was sparse, giving a desolate feeling of a no man’s land.
Gult processed the beef on an open ground, there were three or four wild wolves waiting beside.
There were a few Mongolian Mastiffs guarding there.
After Jiang Feng parked his car, Gult greeted him:
"Finally you came, come inside for some hot milk tea first."
Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head, said: "I’ll check the wolves first, doing the livestream, everyone loves to watch."
"Aren’t you afraid with wolves watching nearby?"
Gult looked at the few wild wolves and said: "They come every year at this time, got used to it, once fed, they leave."
"These wolves are smart, they know what they can eat and what they can’t."
"I’m telling you, the real trouble isn’t the wolves, it’s the lynx."
"The lynxes like to steal sheep, one bite is all it takes, can’t be guarded against, I’m planning to set traps already."
Gult and Jiang Feng chatted leisurely.
Though Gult and Jiang Feng are the same age, Gult looked like he was from Jiang Feng’s uncle’s generation.
No wonder, Gult is a standard Mongolian People from the depths of the pasture, tall stature, a face full of a bushy beard, thick hair also with a little braid, indeed looks older.
He seemed more like he was born in the 80s than the 2000s.
The images in the livestream were vast and empty, seeing this, even the viewers felt some shock.
[Aren’t pastoralists afraid of wolves? I remember some places raise many dogs, with spikes on their collars to fight against wolves.]
[You’re talking about Tibetan Area no man’s land, there indeed needs to guard against wolves.]
[Different areas have different situations.]
[Really brave, dare to raise wolves in such a barren place, truly the host’s friends are no ordinary people.]
Jiang Feng didn’t think there was anything wrong with Gult’s actions.
Wolves are very smart, know gratitude, fierce against enemies, but friendly towards friends.
If you master the way to coexist with wolves, it’s possible to dance with them.
"I also raised a wolf, it just left today, probably to play in the woods."
Jiang Feng said thoughtfully, looking at the wolves not far away.
Today was just to visit a friend’s home after the new year, have a good meal, and drink a little wine.
A normal visit to relatives and friends.
The scenery deep in the pasture also has its unique charm.
"I’ll handle the rest here, my brother’s already started cooking over there, feel free to wander around."
Gult waved his hand, continued to greet.
