Chapter 0449: There Was an Accident at the Ranch
Zeng Cheng was still in the capital and did not return to Shicheng, when he suddenly received a phone call. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The call came from Li Weimiao, the general manager of Xianyuan Ranch, who reported to him an extraordinary situation: a large number of hares appeared in the pasture, which was likely to have a bad impact on the development of the ranch.
Li Weimiao asked Zeng Cheng what to do with the hares.
Hearing this news, Zeng Cheng was also very surprised, and he couldn't come up with a good idea for a while. However, he was already planning to return to Shicheng, so he told Li Weimiao to wait for him to go back and see the situation before making a decision.
Immediately, Zeng Cheng flew back to Yudu, and then rushed back to Qinglong Village.
However, when Zeng Cheng arrived at home, he found that there were several guests in the house. Three of these guests are his girlfriend Fan Xueqing's two cousins, Yun Ni and Yun Xin, and Yun Xin's boyfriend Qu Boyu, who came to Qinglong Village to visit Yun Lao.
As for the other guests, it was a little unexpected by Zeng Cheng, it turned out to be the family of Zeng Youfa, the third cousin who had already settled in Western Xinjiang.
Zeng Youfa is the youngest son of Zeng Cheng's second uncle and the younger brother of the elder brother Zeng Youming, who went to work in Western Xinjiang in his early years, then contracted a farm there, and finally settled in Western Xinjiang eight years ago.
But I didn't expect to return to Jiuli Township now, and I came back with my wife and children, and it seems that I won't go back to Western Xinjiang.
The third sister-in-law, Cheng Cuihua, is Zeng Cheng's cousin, and her combination with Zeng Youfa is still the introduction of Zeng Cheng's mother.
Zeng Youfa has three children, but Zeng Cheng has only seen his eldest niece Zeng Li, his second niece Zeng Xin and his younger nephew Zeng Long Zeng Cheng have never seen him. In her previous life, after her second niece Zeng Xin returned to Chongqing to go to college, Zeng Cheng was still familiar with her. After all, Zeng Cheng's lobby brother had passed away due to an accident at that time, and Zeng Cheng was her closest relative in her hometown.
The eldest niece, Zeng Li, and Zeng Cheng's eldest nephew, An Xiang, are in the same year, and they are even about to turn 12 years old, and they should be in junior high school in the fall; the second niece Zeng Xin has just passed her tenth birthday and has just finished the fourth grade; and the youngest nephew Zeng Long is the same year as An Li, who has just turned five years old, and has not yet entered elementary school.
Maybe it's because the gift from Zeng Cheng makes the little guys very satisfied, or maybe it's also because of the connection between the bloodlines, the three little guys like Zeng Cheng very much.
Zeng Cheng greeted everyone and said that he would go to the ranch to see the situation. A few little guys were clamoring to go and play, and then Qu Boyu, Yun Ni and Yun Xin also said they wanted to go.
Zeng Cheng thought about it and agreed.
When he arrived at the No. 1 Ranch, Zeng Cheng found Li Weimiao and said to him: "Lao Li, I'll come over to see the situation." ”
"Then you go in by yourself, I still have to check the situation of the herd!" Seeing Zeng Cheng, a young man, two girls and a few dolls coming over to play, Li Weimiao was very interested and did not go up to join in the fun.
It is now close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and the cattle grazing on the pasture should be slowly gathered, especially those cows that have been in labor, and they need to be monitored.
Recently, the breeding cattle on the ranch have entered the peak period of farrowing, and more than a dozen cows are in the brunt almost every day, making their own contribution to the expansion of the ranch population.
Since the beginning of the summer, more than 1,000 calves have been added to the entire ranch, and it is foreseeable that in the coming year, the herd of the ranch will likely exceed 10,000 heads, and it is steadily moving towards a large ranch.
After bidding farewell to Li Weimiao, two large four-wheel drive ATVs drove straight into the Qinglong Valley all the way.
The periphery of the valley has been reclaimed as a pasture, and the pasture grows under the nourishment of the fairy spirit, and the grassland is as flat as a carpet, and the ATV runs on it, which is very pleasant.
Most of the grass has grown to half a man's height, but fortunately, the large beach wheels that Zeng Cheng bought are more than a meter high, so it is not a problem to cope with this road condition.
On the pasture, black and white Holstein cattle and pure black Angus cattle are scattered like chess pieces, and they reflect each other with the blue sky and white clouds, presenting a leisurely pasture scenery.
For Yunni and Yunxin, who had been to the prairie before, the scale of the ranch in front of them was not large, and the vision in the valley was limited, so the Xianyuan Ranch could not be compared with the vastness of the prairie. However, the mountains, meadows, lakes, blue skies, white clouds, and all kinds of beautiful scenery are concentrated in a small pasture, but they show another kind of charm.
The ATV sped across the meadow, alarming the birds and hares in the grass from time to time, and Yunni was even more surprised to see a few wild deer.
Several dolls were firmly tied to their seats with seat belts, and the bumps of the ATV made them a little scared and happy, and kept shouting and screaming throughout the valley.
Even Zeng Cheng himself also felt that the feeling of stepping on the accelerator of an ATV to the end was much more fun than driving a car, and the cool breeze on his face and the continuous scenery of alpine meadows made him feel refreshed.
There is not much rough terrain in the valley as a whole, and even the depth of the creek is no more than a meter, which is not a problem at all for a large all-terrain vehicle with six wheels. Therefore, Zeng Cheng and Qu Boyu drove the car, and according to the direction pointed out by Li Weimiao, they went deep into the interior of the Qinglong Valley little by little.
Compared to the pastures that have been cultivated and pasted outside, the pastures here are closer to the original ecology, and the low alpine meadows are full of colorful wildflowers, which decorate the whole area beautifully.
There were more wildlife to be seen here, and the marmots watched the ATV whizz by before finally reacting and scrambling into their burrows.
Qinglong Valley is showing its own beautiful scene in front of Zeng Cheng and others.
The two ATVs drove up to the vicinity of a small valley, where Li Weimiao told him that he had found a large number of hares.
Turned off the fire, got out of the car, and climbed along the ridge with a few dolls to the top of the small valley, Zeng Cheng was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that this is a small valley formed between two small hills, which is no more than 200 meters long, the widest part is only thirty or fifty meters, and the narrowest part of the valley mouth is less than five meters, which is a bit similar to the appearance of a gourd.
It was in this small gourd valley that the eyes could see the hares everywhere, gray, white, black, and so on, and the ground was full of holes they had dug.
"Why are there so many rabbits?" Qu Boyu and the others were also surprised when they saw the scene in front of them.
Rabbits are extremely timid and cautious creatures, and at the slightest hint of trouble, they will immediately flee and take refuge in burrows. Now, two cars drive into the valley, and the rabbits in the valley are still moving leisurely, could it be that they have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?
In the small valley, there are thousands of big rabbits, small rabbits, and rabbits that are not big or small, and there may even be more, densely packed, and if people with dense phobias see it, they may be frightened.
"Wow, there are so many cute rabbits!" Zeng Li, Zeng Xin and other three little guys don't have much feeling, Zeng Youfa also opened a farm in Western Xinjiang, not only engaged in planting, but also engaged in breeding, so they have also seen a lot of rabbits, they just feel that the rabbits in front of them are much more than they have raised in their homes in Western Xinjiang.
Yun Ni and Yun Xin, who followed closely behind, were also taken aback, they never thought that they could see so many rabbits in this small valley.
Yun Xin asked strangely, "Zeng Cheng, what's going on?"
Zeng Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, it was Manager Li of the ranch who told me that there were a lot of rabbits in the ranch, so I came to see the situation." ”
In fact, when he first arrived in the valley, Zeng Cheng already knew the approximate reason, because this valley was very close to the Qinglong Peak, and the Qinglong Peak was the location of one of the eyes of the Five Elements Returning Spirit Array laid by Zeng Cheng. It can be said that the concentration of immortal qi in this gourd valley is the highest in the entire Qinglong Valley.
That's probably why there are so many hares here!
The fairy spirit not only has a great effect on the growth of plants, but also has a strong attraction to animals, this gourd valley has a very high concentration of fairy spirit, the valley is rich in water and grass, naturally attracting many wild animals.
Among them, the most surprising fecundity of the hares successfully set up camp in the gourd valley, and after a few months of breeding, their population expanded rapidly, completely occupying the entire valley.
Although Zeng Cheng is not an eyewitness, but after thinking about it a little, he can guess the ins and outs of this gourd valley full of hares.
As for leaving this gourd valley, it is something that these rabbits dare not think of, leaving here, where can they find such a wonderful life treasure?
People die for money, birds die for food, and for the sake of the space spiritual spring, the rabbits are also out of the way.
Zeng Cheng noticed that the grassland in the valley had been destroyed to the point that it was not formed, and the rabbit's gnawing range was spreading to the periphery of the valley, and it would not be long before it could rush out of the gourd valley.
In the eyes of many people, rabbits are cute animals, they are docile, well-behaved, and very pleasant, and they are classified as harmless animals. But Zeng Cheng knew that this was just an appearance. In the eyes of ranchers, the threat posed by the rabbit infestation to ranches is no less harmful than natural disasters such as drought.
Historically, Australia and New Zealand have suffered from the "rabbit plague", with tens of millions of rabbits gnawing on grass roots and digging burrows, turning well-deserved grasslands into deserts. Eventually, the two governments mobilized enormous forces and spent billions of dollars to bring in natural predators from the food chain, including eagles, snakes, and steppe wolves, to stop the "rabbit plague" in the end.
After deciding to open Xianyuan Ranch, Zeng Cheng had also been exposed to various materials and knew the great harm of rabbits to the ranch, but he never thought that in just a few months, the fairy spirit would attract so many rabbits. (To be continued.) )
