Chapter 250 - 248: Listen, Is This a Name a Human Would Give?
Jiang Feng is out for a stroll again.
This time, he has two little sika deer with him.
Since the sika deer are still young, Jiang Feng doesn’t venture deep into the meadow, just walks around outside.
The two little ones are hopping around, looking especially cute.
The viewers are all fixated on the white sika deer.
At this time, the little one hasn’t grown antlers yet and isn’t very tall.
It looks almost like a sheep.
So many people are joking:
[Are we sure this is a sika deer and not a sheep?]
[Must be the lamb next door who wandered off!]
[If I hadn’t seen it born myself, I would think it’s just a lamb.]
[Look closely, it looks exactly like the little sika deer next to it, it really is a sika deer!]
Jiang Feng sees the comments and remains calm, replying:
"The fawn just born is pure white, looking a bit like a lamb is quite normal."
"But this really is an albino sika deer."
"Not only sika deer have albino variants, but reindeer also have albino types."
"A mighty reindeer with large antlers is truly a spectacular sight."
"I’ll raise this white deer slowly, and when the fog rolls in, release it, then it will be a real Immortal Beast."
Jiang Feng walks forward, and the little sika deer follow behind him.
They are very close to Jiang Feng.
When Jiang Feng stops, they stop too, then look up at the distance, curiously observing the meadow.
The fawn is very beautiful.
At the same time, the white fawn became a hot topic online.
Many people joined the livestream to see the fawn’s situation.
It’s like a spirit descending from the Immortal Realm, extremely captivating.
At this moment, Jiang Feng looks at the little white fawn at his feet and says:
"I’ve named the little white fawn Fuzhu, after a Huaxia divine beast, a deer with dual antlers. The other little sika deer is called Xiaomeihua."
As Jiang Feng finished speaking, the audience instantly had confused, questioning expressions.
All screens were filled with question marks.
[One is called Fuzhu, the other is Xiaomeihua, isn’t that quite a stretch?]
[Xiaomeihua: Thank you for my name, not careless at all!]
[Hahaha, the master is great at naming!]
[Xiaomeihua: How unlucky, better off not being born!]
Clearly, everyone wasn’t satisfied with Jiang Feng’s choice of names.
Fuzhu is fine, after all, the white fawn has an ethereal aura, so a divine beast name makes sense.
But Xiaomeihua is just too simple, it should be more poetic at least.
Seeing the comments, Jiang Feng responded:
"Doesn’t Xiaomeihua sound nice? I think it’s lovely."
"Just in comparison with Fuzhu, maybe people find it a bit odd."
"Naming them separately like this, they’re both quite fitting."
Hearing Jiang Feng say this, everyone contemplated further.
Fuzhu is a bit complex, not typically a pet name unless it’s a special animal like the white sika deer.
While Xiaomeihua feels more like a pet name, and very endearing.
Many soon changed their minds, praising Jiang Feng’s naming choices.
After walking a while, seeing the two little ones getting tired, Jiang Feng sat down on the grass.
As soon as he sat down, the sika deer approached him eagerly.
Jiang Feng held the little white fawn in his arms, like cradling an AK47.
The scene appeared very heartwarming.
The other sika deer leaned against Jiang Feng’s leg, resting its head on him.
This scene looked all the more beautiful.
Viewers were envious seeing this scene.
[Sika deer are just too cute, would love to have one!]
[Envying the master’s life, day n!]
[This life is truly pleasant!]
[Would love to visit the meadow to see them!]
Jiang Feng took the two little sika deer out for some fresh air for a while, then stood up and led them back.
After all, they’ve only been born a few days, so can only move around a bit.
Back at the Deer Shed, the two mother deer looked eagerly for their babies.
Seeing the fawn return, they quickly gathered at the entrance, eyes fixed on the little ones.
Jiang Feng returned the two little deer to the pen, and the mother deer immediately took them under their care.
The little sika deer were all very happy, hopping about playfully.
Jiang Feng watched the situation in the deer pen.
He fetched a milk bottle, personally feeding the little sika deer.
While feeding them, the mother deer supervised from the side, looking distrustful of Jiang Feng.
Viewers found the mother deer’s expression amusing, unable to hold back their laughter.
Jiang Feng, however, remained unperturbed, doing his own thing, unconcerned by the mother deer’s suspicious look.
After feeding them, he said to the nearby mother deer:
"Alright, alright, you take care of the babies."
"I just took them out for a stroll."
Saying this, Jiang Feng went to the yard of the Deer Shed.
The sika deer were leisurely wandering, some staying far due to being timid, some standing not far from Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng grabbed a handful of corn from the bag nearby, then went to a deer, stretched out his hand, and called:
"Come here, come here!"
The sika deer saw the corn in his hand and immediately came over, put its mouth in Jiang Feng’s palm, and ate all the corn in one go.
Jiang Feng spoke to the viewers in the livestream:
"The deer is a symbol of luck in Huaxia, having many symbolic meanings in Huaxia history."
"For example, during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, saying ’Hunting the Deer in the Central Plains’, at that time it was an era of agriculture and hunting, deer represented royal power."
"In the Records of the Grand Historian, there’s the biography of Huaiyin Marquis that writes: ’Qin lost its deer, the world pursued it together’."
"In later times, as society developed, because the word for deer sounds like the word for ’prosperity’ in ’Fu Lu Shou’, people began to use deer to symbolize success in the officialdom."
"Since then, regardless of the era, deer have always been an auspicious symbol."
"Especially white deer, they symbolize longevity and ascension to immortality."
"A white deer was born on my ranch this year, which indicates that the feng shui of the ranch is great this year, and we might have a bountiful autumn harvest."
After hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the netizens nodded slightly.
It was indeed as Jiang Feng had said.
Everyone, influenced by their surroundings, had heard of poems or paintings about deer.
Ancient people loved sika deer, and people nowadays love them too.
[Master Jiang’s ranch is indeed the best-developed ranch I’ve seen, the feng shui is truly impeccable!]
[Isn’t this pasture rented? The feng shui truly belongs to the actual owner of the pasture.]
[No, let me tell you, feng shui is also about people. No one dared to rent this pasture before Master Jiang came; it’s related to the person.]
[Some people can control the feng shui!]
[Look at those tall grasses on his pasture, they are basically hard currency on the grasslands, they’re all money, I’m truly envious!]
Everyone chatted leisurely.
Jiang Feng briefly fed the deer in the Deer Shed, feeling physically and mentally refreshed.
However, rest and work are different matters.
There were still many things to be busy with during this period.
He walked outside and saw a tractor busy cutting grass in the distance.
A large area of forage had been cut down and was being dried under the sun.
Once the moisture is dried out, it can be gathered and bundled into large haystacks.
"The comfortable summer is coming to an end, and autumn will also be a busy time."
"But herdsmen are happier in autumn because it’s the harvest festival, where cattle and sheep are fat and strong, and they can sell for a good price."
"I also have many pre-booked orders here."
"Finally, I can earn some money."
Jiang Feng said with a smile as he looked at the tractors working in the distance.
[Master, how much can your ranch earn in a year?]
[Give us a hint, we want to know how much you can make?]
The netizens immediately asked.
Everyone is always very interested in such topics.
But of course, Jiang Feng wouldn’t say it, mainly because the internet is too impetuous these days, and people tend not to worry about scarcity but about inequality.
Jiang Feng had estimated himself that, just from livestock income, the annual net profit was between eight to nine million, not yet breaking ten million.
Of course, he also makes quite a lot from live streaming.
Soon, the ranch herded back the cattle and sheep, and the sheep were heading into the sheep pen.
Jiang Feng stood at the edge of the ranch, watching the employees and the sheepdogs drive the flock into the pen.
The sheep bleated incessantly every time they came back, making for quite a lively scene.
At this moment, a large ewe ran up to Jiang Feng, bleating nonstop.
It kept calling out.
Even as the flock moved forward, it wouldn’t leave.
From the looks of it, it had set its eyes on Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng noticed the situation with this ewe.
He said, half-laughing, half-crying:
"This ewe lost her lamb, and she’s asking me for it!"
Then he mock complained to the ewe:
"You didn’t keep an eye on your own lamb, and now you’re asking me!"
Jiang Feng said this, but the ewe still stood in front of him, bleating.
On the way back, the sheep mothers and the lambs communicate with calls.
Although there are a lot of sheep, they generally can find their relatives.
Unless the lamb is missing and the ewe can’t find it, in which case she’ll bleat anxiously.
Seeing the ewe like this, the netizens all said:
[Master, hurry and help it!]
[The ewe looks so anxious, quickly find the lamb!]
[With so many sheep, can you find it?]
Jiang Feng was used to such situations.
"It’s probably left behind in the pasture; it happens sometimes."
"When the lambs tire during grazing, they’ll find a place to sleep."
"If the ewe can’t find it at the end of grazing, she can’t find it later either, and has to come back first."
"I’d better go check."
"I remember this ewe, and I have an impression of what the lamb looks like."
"I’ll take a stroll around the grassland."
Jiang Feng explained to everyone.
In such cases, herdsmen often ride motorcycles into the pasture, as motorcycles are the main means of transportation for herdsmen on the grasslands.
But with motorcycles being unsuitable to enter now, Jiang Feng chose to ride a horse.
He saddled up Red Hare and rode the steed across the pasture.
The green grasslands quickly fell away behind him, and the blue sky and white clouds seemed painted.
Seeing this scene, it’s as if the netizens could feel the breeze of the prairie.
After running about five or six kilometers, Jiang Feng saw in the distance a small white figure running around.
It was indeed a playful little lamb.
Jiang Feng stopped not far from the lamb and called out:
"Come here, over here!"
"Did you find a place to nap?"
"Your mom is going crazy looking for you!"
The lamb stopped immediately when it saw Jiang Feng.
Then, Jiang Feng dismounted, picked up the lamb, and hurried back.
The flock moved slowly into the pen, while the ewe still bleated anxiously in the open space.
Soon, Jiang Feng returned to the ranch, placed the lamb on the grass, and the little guy immediately ran under the ewe to nurse.
The ewe, seeing the lamb return, also lowered her head to sniff its scent, and her anxious mood finally eased.
Seeing this scene, the netizens felt a sense of relief.
A child traveling thousands of miles makes a mother worry; this saying holds true for animals too.
