Jiang Feng walked far out; this is all his pastureland. Since there were no cattle or sheep grazing, the surroundings seemed a bit empty.
He selected a good spot for grazing and stopped the horse.
This place is a gentle slope; standing on it, he could clearly see the situation below.
"Lucky, Wealthy!"
Jiang Feng called out.
In an instant, two dogs dashed toward him, extremely fast.
"Go, drive the sheep to that area!"
Jiang Feng pointed to the slope below and said to the two Border Collies.
Upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, the two Border Collies immediately set off, driving the flock of sheep downward.
Jiang Feng sat down right there, on the grass, quiet and free.
The horse stood obediently beside him, leisurely grazing.
He raised the drone high, allowing the online viewers to clearly see the state of the pasture.
On the grassland, the gathered flock of sheep resembled a large moving mass of soft cotton, slowly moving to the slope under the supervision of one black and one yellow small dot, beginning to graze.
The scene was fresh and natural.
More and more viewers joined the live stream, with more people joining the cloud sheep-raising team.
Seeing the large flock of sheep, the viewers felt a strong sense of participation, imagining themselves herding sheep.
[I've never seen Border Collies as smart as those two; they're even better than those that fetch things for their owners!]
[This must be a bloodline awakening!]
[The streamer makes shepherding look easy, one command and the dogs handle everything!]
[Two bags of dog food a day is all it takes; they're model workers in the industry!]
[With employees like these, the streamer has it too good!]
[Such adorable dogs!]
The screen was filled with praise for Lucky and Wealthy.
As seasoned and key employees of the pasture, these two Border Collies were indeed lovable.
Jiang Feng placed Xiaojin Hua down from his arms, letting the little one see his parents' impressive demeanor.
Xiaojin Hua raised his head, watching intently, his eyes full of desire.
Although he had just turned one month old, the shepherd genes in his bloodline were already starting to awaken.
He looked at Lucky and Wealthy's agile figures, imagining his own a year from now.
Although Xiaojin Hua had a name with a flowery note, he was actually a male dog, and his lineage was pure, with good looks and a fine temperament.
"When you grow up a little more, I'll let you herd sheep!"
Jiang Feng said while petting Xiaojin Hua's head with a smile.
Xiaojin Hua gazed in the direction of Lucky and Wealthy, occasionally lowering his body to assume an attacking posture and sometimes standing up to trot a few steps, imitating his parents' herding stances gracefully.
The scene was charmingly silly.
The drone captured the grassland from above, presenting a warm and pleasant view.
Yet, these viewers were too lively, constantly coming up with playful antics.
Originally, the screen was full of praise and beautiful sound.
Then, a user named 'Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior' sent a message:
[This is where I want to have a wild fight with the streamer!]
Seeing this message, two or three more comments quickly followed.
[Caught you, Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior, it was you who wanted a wild fight yesterday!]
[What kind of wild fight does a grown man have with a rancher? Knife fight?]
[Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior can't stay! Always thinking about wild fights!]
[This Japanese user, please be mindful of the impact!]
As the saying goes, classics are passed down, and sometimes, without knowing how, a meme appears in the live stream.
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior started a trend, causing a ripple effect.
More and more viewers began catching on.
Countless strong men threatened to have a wild fight on the grassland and engage in a knife fight.
[I, Qin Yunlong, establish a Cavalry Platoon, naming warriors to join me!]
[I, Li Yunfei, establish the 358th Group's Knife Platoon, brothers, let's take them on!]
[I, Zhang Wen, officially join the Cavalry Platoon!]
[I, Liu Wu, officially join the 358th Group's Knife Platoon!]
...
Qin Yunlong: [Cavalry Platoon brothers, fix bayonets!]
Viewer A: [Commander, what if my bayonet doesn't go up?]
Viewer B: [Dropping the ball at a critical moment, try multiple times, and it'll go up!]
Viewer C: [If it doesn't work, I'll help you; I've practiced fixing bayonets for many years!]
....
The screen was a chaotic uproar.
Countless people laughed, unable to close their mouths.
At this moment, Jiang Feng looked at his smartwatch.
Upon seeing everyone's messages, he was slightly taken aback.
"Fix bayonets?"
"How did the conversation turn to 'Bright Sword'?"
Immediately, he took out his phone, carefully checking everyone's chat content.
As a contemporary university graduate, any meme was instantly understood.
Soon, all Jiang Feng could do was shake his head with a helpless smile.
Such a beautiful grassland, yet a large group of men wanted to engage in a knife fight.
These viewers are truly talented.
At this time, Lucky and Wealthy trotted back to Jiang Feng's side. They lay on the grass, facing the direction of the sheep. Though resting, their gaze never once left the flock.
If a sheep strayed from the group while grazing.
One of Lucky or Wealthy would run over, drive the sheep back to the original spot, and then return to keep watch.
The meat sheep raised on the grassland were relatively docile, likely due to years of selection and taming by humans, making them easy to manage.
With the drone on standby mode, Jiang Feng lay on the grass, leisurely speaking to the stream viewers:
"The life of shepherding is roughly like this, driving the sheep to a spot, watching them graze, and then guiding them back in the afternoon."
"Watching for the first time might seem interesting, but long-term shepherding can get boring for the herders."
"So, some herders use singing and dancing to dispel loneliness."
"That's why people here in Mongolia are known for their singing and dancing abilities."
"Instruments like the horsehead fiddle, violin, and four-string fiddle, herders can play a bit."
"The elder herders are particularly skilled with instruments, not only playing them beautifully but also dancing well."
"In the coming days, I will personally broadcast sheep herding at first; later, I'll mainly patrol the pasture and go deeper into the grassland to show the real landscape beyond the ranch."
Jiang Feng's voice echoed gently into the live stream room.
Blue skies, white clouds, green grass, a young rancher narrating the life of herders,
along with the flocks and shepherd dogs
Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
Even the wind was light.
The viewers who spoke of fixing bayonets put them down.
The tone in the stream room reverted back to the previous cheerfulness.
Many viewers laughed and asked:
[Streamer, can you play an instrument?]
Seeing these comments, Jiang Feng replied, "I can play a bit, but today was sudden, I didn't bring an instrument. Later, when there's a chance, I'll perform for everyone."
Upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, many people's eyes brightened, eagerly anticipating his performance.
There were many women in the live stream room, who had little resistance to the handsome and dashing Jiang Feng, liking him more and more.
It was midsummer, approaching noon, and the temperature was rising.
Nearby was a small grove with several trees growing together.
Herders often choose such places for grazing, where they can find shade.
Jiang Feng took a straw hat from his saddlebag and wore it. Holding the horse lead in one hand and Little Border Collie in the other, he walked to the shade.
The northern heat was a physical attack, high temperatures descended from the sun. Just standing in a cool place felt immediately refreshing.
The southern heat felt like magical fire, like being enveloped in a damp and hot steamer, where one would sweat everywhere, only rescued by the indoor air conditioner.
Once Jiang Feng reached the shade, he felt much more comfortable.
Next, he took out beef jerky and a large cup of water from his bag, along with two pet cans and a bottle.
He poured the meat from the pet cans onto the grass, and Lucky and Wealthy immediately lowered their heads to eat.
He collected the trash into a bag, protecting the pasture.
Then, he fed Little Border Collie with the bottle while the pup excitedly wagged its tiny tail, sucking rapidly.
Its vitality indicated the puppy's health.
Jiang Feng then removed the saddle from the horse.
The obedient horse lay down on the grass, resting in the shade.
After finishing everything, Jiang Feng ate beef jerky, drank water, and watched the sheep.
The beef jerky he ate was made on his ranch, 100% pure beef, and tasted good.
Though there were only a little over four hundred sheep on the grass below, seeing them gathered and grazing, he couldn't help but smile.
