Chapter 156: Chapter 154: Grassland Pursuit, the Terrifying Rancher!

It was a quiet evening.

A person was lounging in a rocking chair to cool off.

The peony flower sea from the day was made into a video, which drew lots of likes from people.

Jiang Feng’s mood improved along with it.

Until the next morning.

Jiang Feng had just gotten up and finished washing up when Yang Maolin hurriedly came to find Jiang Feng.

"Manager, something’s wrong, something happened!"

Yang Maolin’s voice carried a hint of urgency.

Upon hearing, Jiang Feng immediately asked, "What happened?"

"The sheep have been stolen, those sheep thieves came last night!"

Yang Maolin said to Jiang Feng.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng’s expression subtly changed.

The grassland has always been restless, due to the vast area and sparse population, the insufficient police presence gives sheep thieves a chance.

Sheep thieves would drive a van, quietly driving near the sheep pen at night, and steal a few sheep before running off.

Sheep thieves and dog thieves are present in the village.

The most abominable are the dog thieves, they would use a tranquilizer dart to hit the native dogs, wait for them to faint, then drive over to load the dog onto the car, and then send them to a dog meat restaurant.

These days, there are always people who want to gain without working for it, stealing things once can earn hundreds or thousands, they are willing to take the risk.

Of course, some dog thieves get caught by villagers and are beaten half to death.

Upon hearing Yang Maolin say this, Jiang Feng immediately went to check the surveillance footage.

At around 3:00 AM, a van with all its lights off drove from the entrance of the ranch to beside the sheep pen, a few people got out from the van, pulled out several sheep from the pen and loaded them into the van, moving very quickly.

At this time, Lucky and Wealthy ran out, barking furiously at the van.

But the van came fast and left fast, stealing the sheep and leaving.

The van had no license plate, the people who got out all had scarves on their faces.

This group of sheep thieves have a strong sense of anti-surveillance.

Jiang Feng furrowed his brows.

"How many sheep were lost?" he asked.

"In total six sheep, this group previously appeared in the southern pasture, an total of three people, very skilled in stealing sheep, they steal and then leave, changing location," replied Yang Maolin.

Upon hearing, Jiang Feng nodded,

"Losing the sheep is minor, it also shows there’s a problem with the ranch’s security."

"Today I’ll contact the manufacturer to build a gate for the ranch, enclosing the whole thing."

"Also inform the police station about this matter immediately."

"Whether or not they can be found, it’ll always bring some hope."

In such a situation, Jiang Feng didn’t blame anyone, as this falls under uncontrollable factors.

Running a ranch, running a farm, you’ll always encounter many things.

Facing issues isn’t scary, it’s about handling them.

Jiang Feng’s pasture is surrounded by wire fencing, but the entrance has no gate.

There’s only a dirt road leading from the entrance to the living area.

On usual days, cars frequently drive in from the entrance.

The grassland is so vast, people aren’t very guarded.

"Yes, this is partly my fault, yesterday Bugude said he saw a van wandering outside the pasture during the day, I didn’t pay attention."

"Now looking back, it should have been those thieves scouting."

"These wandering sheep thieves steal from one place and then run, the sheep were probably sold that very night, making it hard to catch them again."

Yang Maolin continued.

"Mending the fence after the sheep are gone, not too late," Jiang Feng said again.

Losing six sheep first thing in the morning feels worse than losing six sheep to death!

There were actually sheep thieves that got in!

"The human heart is treacherous, such a thing never happened where I lived, after all, Maodeng is leased pasture, people around don’t know each other, it’s normal to have some thieves mixed in."

"At 2,500 yuan per sheep, more than 15,000 yuan are gone!"

Jiang Feng felt a bit dismayed in his heart.

In the morning, the livestream was launched as usual.

Cattle and sheep were let out of the pen, with drone following and shooting from above.

When the drone returned, Jiang Feng was practicing archery.

A scarecrow was made from haystacks and set in the distance, Jiang Feng aimed his arrow at it for shooting.

He told the online followers about the sheep theft from last night.

Upon everyone’s request, he also showed the surveillance footage.

Seeing a few people stealing sheep in the dark, the livestream room’s atmosphere exploded.

[Really lost sheep, which fan did it!]

[Hahaha, watching the rancher lose sheep, why do I feel so happy about it?]

[Down with the vile landlord!]

[66666!]

The screen was filled with cheers.

The joys and sorrows of people aren’t shared.

When Jiang Feng felt dismayed, everyone else just felt joy.

Followers are always like this, and everyone knows these sheep don’t mean much to Jiang Feng.

But as fun, it’s just too amusing.

Jiang Feng said calmly:

"Today we’re installing a gate at the ranch, it will be fully enclosed from now on."

"Having surveillance isn’t enough, we still need to strengthen precautions."

Upon hearing his words, the followers responded:

[Sure enough, it’s a modern story of mending the fence after the sheep are gone!]

[The rancher just gave us another lesson!]

[Mending the fence after the sheep are gone? Losing sheep, building gates!]

[These thieves are really bold, stealing from Grassland King’s home.]

Jiang Feng didn’t say much more, there was still special training today.

At the Nadamu Festival, the archery competition is divided into stationary archery and mounted archery.

Mounted archery is the highlight of the competition.

Jiang Feng called over Red Hare, equipped the saddle, and holding the bow and arrow, rode on horseback.

The combination of a fine horse and a bow and arrow creates a sense of ancient desert heroes.

He rides the horse around the haystacks, quickly drawing his bow and shooting arrows as he moves at high speed.

The horseback ride is very bumpy, making aiming and stability difficult.

However, Jiang Feng’s swift movements make it manageable.

With one arrow, the bow and arrow immediately pierce into the scarecrow’s body.

His swift and decisive archery excited applause from the crowd.

[The field leader is awesome! He’s got some skills!]

[This guy is too strong!]

[The most talented broadcaster I’ve seen so far!]

[Talented people indeed look more handsome!]

Just then, Jiang Feng received a call from Yang Maolin, who went to the police station to report the theft and make a record today.

But Jiang Feng felt there wasn’t much hope.

The thief could be anywhere, and the police force is understaffed.

Retrieving stolen sheep is very difficult.

Jiang Feng pressed the answer button.

"Chief, I saw the thieves, they’re heading towards the pasture, planning to run north!"

"They’re in a silver van!"

"I saw them when I was coming back from the south."

"It’s that van, the lights, windows, and marks on the body all match!"

"I’ve already informed Bater!"

Yang Maolin’s voice sounded through the phone.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng’s temper instantly flared.

The sheep thieves were too detestable.

It’s one thing if they couldn’t be found, but now their tracks have been discovered!

Jiang Feng definitely needed to have a word with them.

"Alright, I’ll go take a look!"

Jiang Feng, on horseback, was currently at the entrance of the pasture, originally there to inspect the workers installing the gate.

He then left the pasture and took out binoculars to look out.

Coincidentally, Jiang Feng immediately spotted the dirty van.

"Look over there, that’s the sheep thief’s van! These people stole the sheep and didn’t run? Are they insulting me?"

"How infuriating!"

Even with Jiang Feng’s generally good temper, his anger rose at that moment.

He immediately spurred his horse, charging straight towards the van.

Netizens hearing Jiang Feng’s words were somewhat stunned.

[That van is the sheep thieves’ vehicle?]

[These guys stole the sheep and didn’t escape? So bold?]

[They dared to come back! Now they’ve been discovered!]

[But what will the field leader do now?]

In the van, three sheep thieves were driving, enjoying the breeze with smug expressions.

After stealing some sheep last night, they went into Xilinhot City to sell them and then indulged in some fun, feeling on top of the world.

"Those sheep from the big online influencer’s place fetch good prices!" The leader was quite cocky.

"Isn’t the pasture owner a big internet influencer? Are we blowing this up too much?" A more cautious voice chimed in.

"Afraid of what? It’s a plated car with fake plates. How can they find us on these vast grasslands? We stole just a few sheep; the police won’t bother either. Relax." Another reassured him.

"Yes, once we leave Xilingol today, they can’t catch us." The head thief continued confidently.

Just then, the front passenger spotted someone rapidly approaching on horseback in the rearview mirror.

The van was moving at just about 70 kilometers per hour.

The passenger rubbed his eyes.

When he clearly saw Jiang Feng on horseback, he woke up instantly.

"Damn! It’s that pasture owner, it’s him!"

"Quickly, run!"

The front passenger exclaimed, panic evident in his voice.

His shout alerted the other two thieves.

One looked in the mirror from the driver’s seat, and the one in the back turned around to look out the rear window.

All of them saw Jiang Feng barreling towards them on a fine horse.

At this moment, the three thieves felt chills running up their legs, right into their bodies!

Jiang Feng on horseback looked like a god of death!

The driver immediately became nervous, flooring the accelerator to speed up.

At the same time, Jiang Feng on horseback was less than fifty meters away from the van.

The van wasn’t very fast at the time, as it was on a bumpy dirt road.

This allowed the Red Hare to easily catch up.

If the van sped up, it would easily outlast the horse.

Jiang Feng knew that if they accelerated, he wouldn’t catch up.

Moreover, if they got onto the highway ahead, catching up would be impossible!

At this point, Jiang Feng was holding a bow and arrow, with two arrows in the quiver on his back.

Without hesitation, he drew his bow and shot an arrow.

The drone activated its high-performance mode and chased at high speed.

Netizens watching from afar saw Jiang Feng pull an arrow from the quiver, draw the bow, and shoot directly at the van.

In everyone’s startled gaze, the arrow embedded directly into the van’s rear wheel.

"Bang!"

With the sound of a tire blowout, one of the van’s rear tires burst, causing the vehicle to skid!

After wobbling for a while, the van was forced to stop on the grass.

Even though the drone was still quite far away,

just seeing this scene from afar left the netizens shocked.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Only two words appeared in their minds:

"Holy shit!"
