Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Versailles One After Another!

The black Border Collie is chasing the Wild Rabbit fiercely.

Border Collies are the best among dogs, ranking top in speed and agility; the top few in large obstacle races are all Border Collies.

At this moment, in the high-speed drone footage, the Border Collie is sprinting after a Wild Rabbit.

The grassland recedes swiftly, making it hard to see anything clearly.

The Wild Rabbit runs at an incredible speed.

Viewers are extremely excited, and the livestream chat is flooded with comments.

[Whoa, can rabbits run that fast?]

[Grassland dog racing?]

[Time to play some background music: Chasing Shrimp...]

[Speed and Passion: Grassland Edition!]

[Suddenly so intense!]

Jiang Feng follows behind on horseback.

That Wild Rabbit is running insanely fast, as if it's gone mad.

No wonder there's a saying, "Still like a virgin, moving like a crazy rabbit."

A rabbit going crazy is truly terrifying.

The Border Collie and the rabbit run together, with the rabbit constantly changing direction, darting left, then making a fake move and darting right, then another fake move darting left.

This rabbit is completely brown, slender, not cute at all, but full of wildness.

Wild Rabbits generally aren't very good-looking, only nice when they're young.

Of course, pure white rabbits are exceptions; white adds to the animal's charm, and humans often especially like albino mammals.

Jiang Feng watches from behind, increasingly astonished as he observes.

"Wow, we've encountered the Rabbit King!"

"That rabbit's actually faster than the Border Collie!"

"And it's clearly at ease!"

"Never thought there'd be such a fierce rabbit on my ranch!"

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, viewers began to urge:

[Master Jiang, can you tolerate this? Just catch it and make rabbit soup!]

[Ride and shoot arrows, catch that rabbit!]

[Master Jiang, hurry up and join in!]

Then, the brown-gray Wild Rabbit was seen sprinting wildly across the grassland, suddenly making a move, and vanished on the grass.

The Border Collie stopped at the place it disappeared, frantically digging with its front paws and barking loudly.

Jiang Feng also hurried over on horseback.

He jumped off the horse, patted the Border Collie's head, and looked at the rabbit hole under the grass.

Jiang Feng said to the viewers:

"In the Ximeng League, Wild Rabbits are protected animals — hunting them isn't allowed."

"If you hunt recklessly, you'll be punished, and hunting over 50 Wild Rabbits is a criminal offense that could land you in jail for several years."

"Don't send me in, please."

"Only those with hunting licenses can hunt, and they must do so according to regulations."

"Folks here at the ranch definitely can't do it."

Jiang Feng calmed down Lucky.

Lucky was clearly unsatisfied, circling the entrance and staring at it intently.

[Hahaha, Master Jiang, everyone wants to see you catch Wild Rabbits!]

[Such a plump Wild Rabbit, what a shame not to roast and eat it!]

[Now it's banned from hunting, can't just hunt freely; the host is doing the right thing.]

[But this rabbit is indeed impressive!]

In the chat, viewers are responding too.

Jiang Feng petted the Border Collie and softly said, "Lucky, let's go back, I'll roast you some rabbit tonight."

"Wild Rabbits can't be eaten, but there are plenty of domestic rabbits around here."

"Today we'll go back and simply roast a rabbit."

As his words fell, the chat was filled with comments like "Rabbits are so cute, how can you eat them" "Rabbits are so cute, use more cumin".

Rabbits are indeed cute, but also quite delicious.

After calming Lucky down, Jiang Feng mounted his horse and rode back the way he came.

Lucky glanced at the hole a couple of times, finding nothing, and reluctantly followed along.

On horseback, Jiang Feng leisurely explained:

"Wild rabbits on the prairie are at the bottom of the food chain; wolves, foxes, and eagles all love to eat rabbits."

"It's not easy for these creatures to survive either."

"But rabbits have one amazing survival method: they reproduce, and reproduce a lot."

"Just look at Australia, it's gotten out of hand, rabbits overflowing trucks with their corpses."

"Here, too, better remind you, even if you catch Wild Rabbits, they're best not eaten. Wild animals carry lots of viruses, you never know."

"If you want rabbit, just buy domestic rabbit meat."

He herded towards the cows and sheep; it's almost time, so he started organizing them to head home.

The lead cow and lead sheep began moving.

Once the leaders move, the other cows and sheep follow suit.

Under blue skies and white clouds, the prairie scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.

Viewers watching the cows and sheep returning to the ranch just can't get enough of the sight.

The herders are moving too, and the shepherd dogs follow.

All the lively activity on the prairie is heading towards the ranch at this moment.

"Time's up!"

Jiang Feng chuckled and sighed.

"It's four in the afternoon now; by my reckoning, I clock off pretty early."

[Host, I'm warning you not to stir up resentment!]

[Host, you're a bit annoying!]

[Listen, is this human language? Off work at four? I wouldn't have dared dream of it back in the 80s and 90s!]

[To be fair, back in the 80s and 90s, quite a few workers ran off to cinemas at four or five; not sure what's changed, but our working hours keep getting longer.]

[Day n of envying Master Jiang's ranch life!]

Jiang Feng checked the watch on his wrist and flew the drone up high, letting viewers see the scene of the ranch herding back more clearly.

He really liked his cattle and sheep and wanted to show more people.

The number of people in the livestream stayed around 60,000.

Unknowingly, he'd attracted a large group of loyal viewers.

More and more people were joining in on cloud grazing.

It seemed like the ones moving with the cattle and sheep weren't just the herders, but also the viewers' souls yearning for freedom.

Even if it's just these brief moments, at least the mind feels free.

Soon, the cattle and sheep returned to the ranch.

Some were still in the ranch, mainly pregnant ewes and dairy cows.

Once pregnant, ewes don't go out grazing; they're kept in separate pens, fed with hay.

After the cattle and sheep are gathered, Niu Erhu rides out on horseback as usual, to do a check around the pastures for any lost cattle or sheep.

Yang Maolin busied himself tidying up the sheep pen.

Jiang Feng took a quick look around; there wasn't much else to do, so he said to Yang Maolin, "Old Yang, you guys eat dinner tonight, I'll stream myself roasting a rabbit."

"Alright." Yang Maolin promptly agreed.

Then, Jiang Feng got on his motorcycle and went to the management area to buy rabbit meat.

Having been here a few days, he's gotten familiar with the place.

He knows where to buy beef, where to buy lamb, where the pork is sold.

"Eat roasted rabbit tonight; watching that Wild Rabbit sprint this afternoon made me hungry."

"Also, Lucky seems to be unsatisfied; give it half a rabbit to cool it off."

"That Wild Rabbit was probably Rabbit King Level; such rabbits, not only shepherd dogs can't catch them, they even dare kick eagles."

"I saw rabbits kicking eagles when I was a kid; these rabbits are really fierce."

Jiang Feng rode his motorcycle, helmet on, speeding on the rugged road.

[Can rabbits really kick eagles?]

[Rabbits reproduce so much, eventually you'll get some with good talent and smarts, naturally!]

[That Rabbit King this afternoon was indeed remarkable! The meat must be tasty!]

[I have a feeling we'll spot that rabbit again someday on Master Jiang's prairie.]

Jiang Feng rode to a herder's home to buy fresh rabbit meat.

The rabbit meat was already cleaned, ready to roast as soon as it's set up—quite convenient for Jiang Feng.

He bought two whole rabbits, then softly sighed:

"Today, let's just simply eat roasted rabbit."

"Though the menu's a bit plain, it'll do."

Upon hearing this, comments flooded the chat as viewers started to gripe:

[Host, please stop showing off!]

[This is what you call 'making do'?]

[Versailles truly has many layers!]

[Hahaha, such great showmanship!]
