Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 254 - 252: The Swearing Parrot and the Adorkable Marmot!

Even though it’s August, the temperature in Inner Mongolia is starting to drop.

During the day, it’s still okay, about twenty-six or twenty-seven degrees, so it’s quite comfortable to be outside.

But at night, it drops to around thirteen or fourteen degrees.

If you’re outside at night in the pasture, you might freeze your butt off going to the bathroom.

Of course, Jiang Feng has good facilities here, so life is quite comfortable, and there’s no need to go outside.

In the evening, Jiang Feng routinely checks on the pasture.

The animals are all indoors.

He arrives at the Deer Shed where the sika deer have also gone inside the house.

Jiang Feng takes two bottles of milk to feed the little sika deer.

The white sika deer is pleasing to the eye.

It always seems out of place in this world, and when the camera is on it, the background automatically blurs.

It gives people an illusion that the "background of the sika deer is too fake."

Actually, it’s because of the color contrast, making the background appear unrealistic.

Skin that’s too dark or too white will have this effect.

Seeing the little white deer, netizens can’t help but comment:

[Host, why does the background of the white deer look like it’s been Photoshopped!]

[The grass in the back doesn’t even look real!]

[I feel like the white deer is a special effect!]

[Hahaha, this background is too fake!]

Seeing the comments, Jiang Feng laughed and said:

"It’s because the view is locked on the white deer, causing the background to blur due to color contrast."

"It’s especially obvious when the sunlight is strong."

"It won’t be so noticeable when the light dims a bit."

After feeding the two little sika deer, Jiang Feng checked the head of the little white deer, which still showed no signs of horns growing.

But the white deer is a male deer and will eventually grow them.

It is undoubtedly the auspicious sign of the pasture.

The other sika deer are resting in the adjacent pen.

There’s a waist-high wall between the nursery room, allowing Jiang Feng to easily see the situation next door.

A few sika deer turned their heads to look at him.

These sika deer are in much better condition now and are not as afraid of people.

Jiang Feng plans to take the sika deer out to the pasture tomorrow.

Afterward, Jiang Feng leaves the Deer Shed and heads to his yard.

As soon as he enters, the gray parrot shouts:

"Welcome, boss, welcome boss!"

Hearing its voice, the netizens in the live stream were first taken aback and then burst into laughter.

[Host, you’re a bit narcissistic!]

[Who taught the parrot to say that!]

[Welcome boss?!]

Jiang Feng looked at the parrot on the perch and said helplessly:

"This parrot is too cheeky; it especially likes to join in when I’m playing games or watching shows."

"It’s quite magical that I watch American shows with original sound and subtitles while looking at comments."

"Logically, it shouldn’t understand what’s being said, but it somehow managed to learn a few curse words."

"I don’t know how it managed to just pick up the swear words."

"So I caught it and gave it a good scolding, and now it behaves much better when it sees me."

Hearing Jiang Feng’s explanation, the netizens became even more excited.

After all, what could be more amusing than a parrot saying swear words!

[Host, make it say one for me!]

[Quick, make it say one!]

[Let it curse me!]

The comments rolled in once again.

Jiang Feng was slightly surprised by these comments.

But he understood that netizens just love this kind of mischief.

Jiang Feng looked at the gray parrot, hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Xiaohui, curse a bit."

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, the gray parrot was also stunned, tilting its head left and right, seemingly unable to understand why Jiang Feng suddenly gave such an order.

"Say something in English," Jiang Feng added.

At this point, the gray parrot finally understood, and under everyone’s anticipation, it opened its mouth and said:

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

Hearing this cursing sound, the netizens smiled with satisfaction.

The intelligence of a gray parrot is equivalent to that of a three-year-old child.

A child like this struggles to learn everyday words, but learns swear words effortlessly.

The gray parrot seems to perceive the genuine emotional power in cursing.

Most people learning a foreign language tend to learn swear words first too.

Examples include words like fuck, "Ah Xi Ba", "Ge Ni La Wo Wo", etc.

Of course, Japanese is a bit special. For some reasons, the first Japanese phrase some people learn is "Baka" or "Baka Yaro," while for others, it’s "Yamete."

The screen was filled with laughter.

A gray parrot saying "fuck" was just too amusing.

Jiang Feng looked at the gray parrot and said:

"Alright, that’s enough."

But the netizens in the live stream urged:

[Host, it’s not appropriate for this parrot to speak a foreign language, teach it Chinese!]

[Quick, make it learn "Wo Cao"!]

[Talking like this is pretty likely to get a beating!]

At this point, the gray parrot seemed to have opened some kind of door, excitedly flapping its wings and repeating the phrases several times.

"Holy shit! Holy shit!"

Still, its pronunciation was quite accurate.

Jiang Feng immediately said to it:

"Alright, alright, stop that, be polite."

Only then did the grey parrot settle down.

The atmosphere in the livestream room was made light and happy by the grey parrot.

The screen was filled with English words, though not exactly pleasant ones.

Sometimes animals are just so amazing; people also enjoy watching cute or tender scenes with small animals.

As it was almost time, Jiang Feng planned to rest and maybe watch some shows or play games, so he said goodbye to the viewers and closed the livestream.

The next day, the weather was exceptionally nice, and the temperature was just right.

In the morning, the ranch employees drove the cattle and sheep out.

Now that the weather was good, there was no worry of the cattle and sheep getting heatstroke, so they were out to graze all day.

A large area of pasture had been mowed, but it still needed to be dried for two to three days before the next step could be taken.

Jiang Feng planned to let the sika deer out so they could enjoy the open fields.

For some reason, sika deer in the forest give people a lively feeling, like earthly elves. However, captive sika deer don’t seem as glamorous, just a bit prettier than other livestock.

Probably because these sika deer know they’re captive and find no joy in it, so they’re not spiritually happy and thus lack that "spirit" feel.

Jiang Feng opened the door to the Deer Shed.

He called out to the sika deer to come out.

Initially, the sika deer looked at Jiang Feng a bit apprehensively, fearing they might be transported to some unknown place again.

After all, they quite liked their current pen.

At least the ground was grassy, and the pen’s environment was clean and closer to nature.

Unlike those pens full of dirt and dust.

A drone was broadcasting this moment.

The sika deer walked out one by one, pausing at the pen’s entrance, curiously looking around.

Jiang Feng focused on a mature deer, guiding it out while the other sika deer followed at a distance.

Two doe and two fawns followed as well.

A short walk from the Deer Shed led them to a pasture.

Soon, the group of sika deer saw the vast green pasture.

Blue sky and white clouds, green grass everywhere.

Like a scene from a dream.

The sika deer froze, taking a few steps forward, staring at the pasture in a trance.

"Go on, enjoy yourselves."

"I’ll come find you in the afternoon."

"This is my home; feel free to play."

Jiang Feng said to them.

Jiang Feng’s words were amusing, and the viewers in the livestream couldn’t help but laugh:

[Haha, the owner is so humble-bragging again!]

[It’s true, it is his home, can’t argue with that!]

Some of the sika deer began to run onto the pasture.

They bounded and leapt as they ran, appearing very joyful.

Fuzhu and the mother of the little sika also walked toward the pasture, with the two little ones hurriedly following.

On the pasture now were cattle, sheep, and camels, plus over twenty sika deer.

Though not as vast and awe-inspiring as the African Grassland, it had its own warmth and tranquility.

Jiang Feng looked at this scene, feeling content.

He loved this feeling, especially as a ranch owner.

"The sika deer aren’t used to freedom yet, but after bringing them out a few times, they’ll adjust."

"Besides, sika deer also eat pasture grass and herbs, finding food on the grassland by themselves, so there’s no need to feed them."

Jiang Feng watched the sika deer running off, smiling as he spoke.

Today, there was nothing much happening on the ranch, no pasture or cattle and sheep trading.

It was relatively closed off.

In this situation, Jiang Feng had much more leisure time.

Two sika deer lingered by Jiang Feng’s side, not leaving, just watching him.

These two sika deer were more accustomed to humans.

Jiang Feng walked over and petted one of the sika deer.

This sika deer looked at Jiang Feng, then outside, giving an impression of relaxation.

Jiang Feng walked toward the pasture, and the two sika deer walked into the pasture, then slowly ran off.

This season had many animals, and they were relatively active.

Jiang Feng didn’t explain further; such scenery needed no narration.

The view was filled with greenery, with all kinds of flowers and plants, simply enjoyable to behold.

After walking for a while, he sat down on the ground, took out a flower pastry, removed the outer wrapper, and put it in his pocket.

Jiang Feng broke the flower pastry in half and began eating it unhurriedly.

At this moment, the viewers noticed a groundhog sneaking over on the grass nearby.

This guy was bold, observing Jiang Feng for a while, then cautiously crawling over, placing its front paws on Jiang Feng’s leg, with its nose sniffing eagerly at the flower pastry.

The viewers were drawn to it.

This wild animal was a foodie too, seemingly unafraid of humans.

Groundhogs were quite common on the grasslands, so Jiang Feng wasn’t surprised by this little fellow.

Then, the viewers saw the groundhog nervously stretch out its two front paws, grasping the half piece of flower pastry in Jiang Feng’s hand.

It seemed both daring and timid—it looked frightened, giving an impression of guilty conscience while stealing, yet it directly reached out to take it.

All one could say is this little guy’s mind was filled with food, a genuine foodie.

Life could be relived in another cycle, but if it missed out on the pastry now, it might never taste it again in this life.

Jiang Feng allowed it to take away half of the flower pastry.

After getting the flower pastry, the groundhog ran off to the side, stood its body upright, grasping the pastry with its front paws, and excitedly began to eat.

Jiang Feng sat cross-legged, watching the groundhog without disturbing it at all.

A breeze passed by.

Everything on the grassland seemed even more alive and vibrant.
