Chapter 146: Chapter 144: The Mongolian Mastiff Stung by Bees—Pitiful Yet Hilarious!

There are just too many little lambs on the pasture.

Jiang Feng pulled out a bag of crispy snacks from his pocket.

A lot of people think sheep only eat grass, but actually, they eat almost anything except meat.

Various vegetables, human snacks, and even cigarette butts on the ground, they’ll eat.

The things they eat get converted into the nutrients in their bodies.

Prairie sheep can only eat grass, so there’s a reason why they’re of such high quality.

"Little lambs generally love human snacks, just feed them once and they’ll remember the taste."

"I’ve fed a lamb before."

"That lamb was abandoned by its mother, so I fed it a few times myself and even named it Xiaomian."

"It should be able to recognize its name."

Jiang Feng explained to the netizens.

The peculiar behavior of animals always catches people’s attention.

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, the netizens wanted to witness it themselves.

Jiang Feng called out loudly to the flock of sheep in the distance:

"Xiaomian!"

"Xiaomian!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a small white sheep quickly ran out from the flock of grazing sheep, bouncing happily towards Jiang Feng.

Mammal babies are always innocent, playful, and adorable.

The little lamb knew it was being called, so it excitedly charged over.

It seemed to have a somewhat naive smile on its face.

The drone captured this scene, and the comments in the live stream started pouring in instantly.

[Oh my gosh, what an adorable little lamb!]

[Can lambs really be this cute?]

[It’s a shame they become so ugly when they grow up, otherwise they could be pets instead of ending up as food.]

[I think there are dwarf sheep that are specifically kept as pets!]

Seeing the lamb running toward Jiang Feng, everyone felt their spirits lifted and relaxed.

The little lamb quickly arrived in front of Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng opened the snack package and began feeding the lamb.

Every time he took out a piece, the lamb quickly gobbled it up clean.

After eating, it just stared at the package in Jiang Feng’s hand.

Sheep aren’t very smart, they’re only motivated by food.

The sight of its silly and adorable demeanor made Jiang Feng laugh too.

Jiang Feng took out a few more pieces to feed it, and the little lamb chewed quickly, making "crunch, crunch" sounds.

Jiang Feng knew he shouldn’t let it eat too much, so he waved his hand and said:

"That’s it, go eat some grass!"

Who knew the little lamb wouldn’t give up, even leaning in and pushing Jiang Feng’s arm with its head, trying to reach the snacks in the package with its mouth.

But of course, the little lamb didn’t have as much strength as Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng gently picked it up and placed it by his side.

The little lamb, once picked up, forgot what it was trying to do.

It looked back at Jiang Feng, appeared a bit dazed, then leisurely started eating grass nearby.

Seeing this, the netizens were slightly taken aback.

[The little lamb gave up just like that?]

[Wow, its memory is even shorter than a fish’s!]

[Sheep really are quite silly, totally brainless!]

Jiang Feng watched the sheep for a while on the pasture.

The flock was large and moved as a unit, a vast scene.

The herding dogs each scattered, playing while keeping an eye on the flock.

This is the simplicity of a shepherd’s life—on his own pasture, now fenced all around with barbed wire, there’s no worry about the sheep wandering off.

Even in the uninhabited areas, Jiang Feng had added new wooden fences, though without barbed wire.

The wooden fences can block camels and horses, but wolves, foxes, and wild boars can still slip under them,

so even though the cattle and sheep are free-range, they won’t get lost.

But although they don’t stray, there are still sheep thieves and wild wolves on the prairie.

The flock needs to be watched over by someone.

Jiang Feng took a break, planning to get up and check out the scenery.

At the bottom of the shaded slope, there were some short trees, forming a small forest.

The Little Mongolian Mastiff was playing in the forest.

As Jiang Feng approached the forest, he suddenly heard the little Mongolian Mastiff let out a series of heartrending cries.

"Aw oo!"

"Aw oo!"

The painful sound had a hint of a puppy-like whimper.

Upon hearing the cries, Jiang Feng quickly headed toward the Little Mongolian Mastiff.

The netizens also heard the puppy’s cries, and everyone’s interest was immediately piqued.

Jiang Feng quickly ran to the side of the Little Mongolian Mastiff, knelt down, and saw a dead wasp beside it.

It seemed that the Little Mongolian Mastiff had tried to bite the wasp and got stung on the side of its nose instead.

So the little guy is in such pain.

"It’s been stung by a wasp!"

Jiang Feng held down the Little Mongolian Mastiff’s head and saw the wasp’s stinger still on its nose, so he reached out to help remove the stinger.

But though the stinger was removed, the poison had no solution.

All he could do was disinfect the area around the wound and apply a cold compress with ice.

But there was no ice at the moment, so Jiang Feng could only comfort the Little Mongolian Mastiff to calm it down.

The Mongolian Mastiff grows up to be very mighty, strong, and robust.

But when it’s young, it’s still a bit naive and carefree.

"Now Coal Ball is in trouble. After being stung by a wasp, it can only wait for the swelling to subside slowly, which may take a few days to heal."

"If nothing unexpected happens, its face will start swelling in less than an hour."

Jiang Feng sighed and remarked.

The joys and sorrows of people do not connect.

Jiang Feng was quite helpless, but the online folks seemed exceptionally amused.

[Has the puppy been stung by a wasp? Then I can sit back and watch the show!]

[I’ve seen photos of dogs stung by wasps, super interesting!]

[The dogs actually mean no harm; they just nip gently. But the wasps don’t see it that way!]

[I saw a beehive nearby, so the wasp was probably a scout, preparing to attack the bees. So, the Little Mongolian Mastiff protected the bees.]

[When will this puppy’s face swell up? I want to see!]

Jiang Feng carried the Little Mongolian Mastiff to the grass, gently stroking its back.

The little guy lay on the grass, looking a bit aggrieved but didn’t bark anymore.

Even though it was extremely depressed, when Jiang Feng petted its little head, the Mastiff’s little tail would still waggle high, then swish back and forth.

At this moment, the bored online folks were clearly focusing their attention on the Mastiff’s face.

As time passed, the Mastiff’s face indeed started to swell.

Soon enough, its nose got a bit bigger, as if it had a baseball stuffed in its mouth.

It looked up at Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng, seeing its expression, couldn’t help but smile a bit.

Liking something and finding it funny aren’t mutually exclusive.

Although Jiang Feng felt sorry for the little guy, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.

It looked like Liang Chaowei with a sausage lip looking at him.

The online folks were having even more fun.

[Hahaha, the dog’s expression is priceless!]

[Can a puppy stung by a wasp be this cute?]

[It’s really pitiful, but really funny!]

[It’s too adorable, even stung like this, it’s still trying to wag its tail and act cute with the owner!]

The comments kept flowing.

At this moment, Xiaojin Hua came back from herding sheep and ran over to play with the Little Mongolian Mastiff.

She watched the Little Mongolian Mastiff’s back from behind, wanting to greet it.

At this point, the Mongolian Mastiff turned around and made eye contact with Little Border Collie.

Seeing the Little Mongolian Mastiff’s appearance, Little Border Collie jumped back in surprise.

Little Border Collie tilted its head, with a hint of confusion and bewilderment, looking at the Mongolian Mastiff.

It didn’t understand why the Mongolian Mastiff had become this way.

After carefully confirming it was indeed the Mongolian Mastiff, the little guy slowly approached.

Little Border Collie moved its face close to the Mongolian Mastiff, carefully observing it, then let out a gentle "woof."

It seemed to be saying:

What happened to you?

The Little Mongolian Mastiff had a bit of grievance in its expression, wanting to bark in response but could only stay silent due to the swollen mouth.

[Hahaha, the Border Collie got scared by the Mongolian Mastiff!]

[It’s only been half a day, and such a big change!]

[Little Border Collie: How did you get so fat in just half a day?]

The online folks saw the two dogs and kept posting comments.

The first day of herding always results in some chaos.

Many of the little lambs were grazing for the first time, bowing their heads and learning from the big sheep, deliberately seeking out taller grasses to eat.

Sheep aren’t usually fat during winter.

In spring, after a good period of grazing, the condition of their fat can recover quickly.

Jiang Feng watched the herding situation for a bit and chatted with everyone:

"The herding times in spring, summer, and autumn are all different."

"In spring, the weather is good and the grass isn’t lush, so the herding time is longer. They go out in the morning and come back in the afternoon."

"In summer, the weather is hot and the grass is very lush, so they only need to graze for a short while to be full, shortening the herding time."

"At the same time, you also have to prevent the sheep from getting heatstroke."

"Usually, herding starts at six in the morning and they’re back by ten-thirty."

"In the afternoon, they’ll head out again around four or five, then come back by seven."

"Summer sheep are the fattest and most ready for market."

Herding experience is something pastoralists have passed down through generations.

The online folks, upon hearing this, commented that they’ve learned another piece of useless trivia.

In the past, people would say that if you didn’t study well, you’d end up herding sheep. But now it seems even herding sheep has its own level of learning!
