Forest Ranger: Help! A golden eagle cub is relying on me

In the early morning on the pasture, Chen Chuan pushed open the door of the wooden house and took a deep breath of air.

The chill from last night had not yet completely dissipated, and a thin layer of frost had formed on the grass, which made a crackling sound when stepped on.

He rubbed his hands and walked towards the animals' huts, ready to start a new day.

Walking to the sheep pen, Chen Chuan's eyes inadvertently fell on Hu Zi's den.

I saw Hu Zi curled up on a furry mat, sleeping soundly.

Chen Chuan walked closer and found that the mat was made of wool, which should be the hair shaved off when the sheep was slaughtered before.

He smiled and thought that this tiger really knew how to enjoy himself.

At this moment, Hu Zi suddenly moved, a low humming sound came from his mouth, and a trace of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Chen Chuan looked closely and saw Hu Zi holding a wool mat and chewing it gently, leaving shallow marks on the wool with his teeth.

Chen Chuan was amused by this funny scene. He took out his mobile phone, took a picture of Hu Zi's "ugly appearance", and prepared to post it in the live broadcast room for netizens to laugh too.

"Haha, this guy Hu Zi is still having sweet dreams even when he falls asleep." Chen Chuan said to himself with a smile on his lips.

He opened the live broadcast room, uploaded the photo, and wrote: "Look at our Hu Zi sleeping, drooling while hugging the wool mat, and even chewing on the mat. I wonder what sweet dreams he is having."

After seeing the photo, netizens in the live broadcast room were immediately excited, and the comments were quickly posted: "Haha, Hu Zi is eating mutton in his dream, right? His mouth is watering!"

"Hu Zi: Mutton is so delicious, I want to eat more!"

"Host, your Hu Zi is so cute. He is still so greedy even when he is asleep." "Honestly, Hu Zi's sleeping posture can make me laugh all day long."

Chen Chuan read the comments from netizens and was also amused.

He responded: "Yes, Huzi is usually very greedy. He can't walk when he smells mutton. It seems that he is not idle in his dream and is still chewing mutton."

Netizens expressed their agreement, with one joking: "Hu Zi's dream was so real, I can imagine him feasting in his dream."

Chen Chuan happily continued, "Speaking of which, this wool mat is quite warm. I saw Hu Zi sleeping soundly. Maybe I can make some wool mats for other animals, especially since winter is coming, so that they can also be warmer."

After hearing this, some netizens immediately suggested: "Host, you might as well just buy a wool pad to save time and effort."

Chen Chuan thought about it, shook his head, and explained: "Of course we can buy wool pads, but the wool on our ranch is also a ready-made resource. Moreover, it is particularly inconvenient to kill sheep in winter. The weather is cold, and it is very troublesome to handle mutton and wool.

So I plan to kill a few sheep in advance, so that I can store meat for the winter and use the wool to make wool mats, killing two birds with one stone."

After hearing this, netizens expressed their understanding. One person joked: "Host, are you observing a moment of silence for the sheep? The sheep are going to suffer."

Chen Chuan smiled and waved his hands: "Haha, the sheep are part of the ranch. Sheep are raised for meat and wool. This is also the law of nature. However, I will try my best to make them live more comfortably."

After saying that, Chen Chuan stood up, dusted off his hands, and walked to the kitchen to prepare the tools for slaughtering the sheep.

Seeing this, netizens joked in the comments: "Sheep: Danger, danger, run!"

"The host looks so murderous that the sheep are trembling in fear."

"To be honest, Chen Chuan's movements were really fast and accurate."

Chen Chuan walked into the kitchen, took out the knives and ropes used to slaughter the sheep, and checked them carefully to make sure there were no problems.

As he prepared, he said to the camera: "Although killing sheep is hard work, it is nothing if the animals on the ranch can have a warm winter."

After preparing the tools, Chen Chuan walked out of the kitchen and headed towards the sheep pen.

The sheep were grazing leisurely, unaware of their impending fate.

Chen Chuan took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and prepared to start slaughtering the sheep.

Just then, Hu Zi woke up from his nest, stretched, and slowly walked to Chen Chuan.

It looked up at the tool in Chen Chuan's hand, then looked at the flock of sheep, and made a low humming sound in its throat, as if it understood something.

Chen Chuan squatted down, touched Hu Zi's head, and said with a smile: "Hu Zi, don't be greedy. This mutton is prepared for everyone, and you will have a share too."

Hu Zi snorted, swung his tail, and lay obediently on the side, but his eyes glanced at the flock of sheep from time to time, and a trace of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Chen Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stood up and said to the camera, "Look, Hu Zi is really greedy."

The netizens in the live broadcast room were amused by Hu Zi's reaction, and the comments became even more cheerful:

"Hu Zi: Boss, please kill the sheep quickly. I can't wait any longer."

"Haha, I can feel Hu Zi's greed through the screen."

"Host, your animal army is full of foodies."

Chen Chuan smiled and shook his head, picked up his tools and walked towards the sheep pen.

He chose a larger sheep, tied it up with a rope, and prepared to kill it.

Although the process of killing sheep is bloody, Chen Chuan is skillful and tries to minimize the pain of the sheep.

While doing so, he explained to netizens: "Killing sheep is cruel, but it is part of ranch life. We must respect life and use resources rationally."

After hearing this, netizens expressed their understanding, and one person said with emotion: "Host, your life is really down-to-earth, and it has opened the eyes of us city people."

Chen Chuan smiled and continued with the work in his hands.

After slaughtering the sheep, he began to process the meat and wool.

The mutton is cut into pieces and prepared for salting and storage;

The wool is cleaned and hung out to dry in the yard, ready for use in making wool mats.

After working for a whole morning, Chen Chuan finally processed the mutton and wool.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.

The mutton was neatly stacked on wooden racks, and the wool had a soft luster in the sun.

Hu Zi was staring at the mutton, his saliva dripping all over the floor.

Chen Chuan was happy, cut a small piece of mutton and handed it to Hu Zi: "Come, Hu Zi, try it."

Hu Zi couldn't wait to pick up the mutton, chewing it with relish, and swinging his tail as fast as a propeller.

Chen Chuan looked at Hu Zi's satisfied expression and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He said to the camera: "That's all for today. I'll kill a few more sheep tomorrow and try to prepare winter supplies for the animals on the ranch."

Netizens gave thumbs up one after another, and the comments were quickly posted:

"Thank you for your hard work, ranch life is not easy."

"Chen Chuan, your ranch is getting bigger and bigger."

“Looking forward to tomorrow’s live broadcast to see how you make the wool mat.”

"Brother Chuan, you can really see everything in your live broadcast room! Hahahaha, it's really fun to watch!"

After turning off the live broadcast, Chen Chuan sat in the yard, watching the sunset, his heart full of satisfaction.

The animals on the pasture returned to their kennels one after another, ready to rest.

After Hu Zi had eaten and drunk his fill, he curled up on the wool mat and began to doze off again.

Chen Chuan patted Hu Zi's head gently and whispered, "Hu Zi, thank you for accompanying me through this busy day."

Hu Zi snorted, closed his eyes, and fell asleep. Chen Chuan looked up at the starry sky and prayed silently in his heart: I hope that every life on the ranch can survive safely this winter.

The night gradually enveloped the ranch. Under the starry sky, Chen Chuan sat on the steps in front of the wooden cabin, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

Today's task of slaughtering sheep has been completed. The mutton has been properly marinated and neatly stacked on wooden racks. The wool is also hung in the yard to dry, gently fluttering in the wind.

Hu Zi was curled up on the wool mat, sleeping soundly with a satisfied smile on his face.

In the distance, three bears were huddled in their den, snoring softly, and the whole ranch seemed warm and peaceful.

The next morning, the sun shone through the mist onto the pasture, and the animals woke up one after another.

Chen Chuan pushed open the door of the wooden house and took a deep breath of fresh air.

He walked into the yard and saw that Hu Zi had woken up and was lying next to the mutton rack, with his nose very close, sniffing around, and his tail wagging as fast as a fan.

"Good fellow, Huzi, are you greedy again?"

Chen Chuan walked over with a smile and patted Hu Zi on the head.

Hu Zi looked up at him, making a low humming sound in his throat, his eyes full of anticipation.

Apparently, it didn't enjoy the piece of mutton yesterday. Early this morning, it stood beside the mutton like a loyal guard.

Chen Chuan smiled, turned to the camera and announced:
"Okay, brothers, let's continue working today. We killed a sheep yesterday, and today we have to deal with the remaining mutton and make a big meal for the animals!!"

Hearing the word "feast", Hu Zi's ears immediately stood up. He stood up excitedly, looked in the direction of the sheep pen, then turned back to look at Chen Chuan with a look that said "Let's start quickly".

When netizens in the live broadcast room saw this scene, the comments instantly started to fill up:

"Haha, Hu Zi didn't eat enough yesterday, so he's still thinking about it today!"

"Hu Zi: The mutton is mine, no one can take it away from me!"

"Host, is your Huzi a glutton? He eats so much."

Chen Chuan glanced at the comments and responded cheerfully:

"You know what, Hu Zi is a real glutton. Yesterday I gave him a piece of mutton, and he swallowed it in just a few bites, staring at me eagerly. I suspect that if I don't feed him enough, he will tear down the sheepfold."

After hearing this, netizens joked: "Host, did you abuse Hu Zi? Look at how pitiful he looks, he must have been hungry for several days."

Chen Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and spread his hands and said, "I swear to God, Hu Zi eats more meat every day than I do! He is just born greedy, and his appetite is ridiculous. You just wait and see, today I will let him eat his fill."

After saying that, Chen Chuan clapped his hands and walked towards the sheep pen.

He picked out a sheep that he had not had time to deal with yesterday, tied it up with a rope, and dragged it out.

The flock of sheep seemed to have gotten used to this kind of scene. They just bleated a few times symbolically and then calmed down.

Chen Chuan shouted towards the bear den: "Big Bear, Second Bear, Little Blackie, come over and work!"

The three bears walked over slowly. Yesterday's shaving experience made them familiar with the process.

Chen Chuan pointed at the sheep and said, "As usual, you help me hold it down while I shave it."

Big Bear stepped forward first and held down the sheep's head with his big paws, while Second Bear and Little Blackie held down the sheep's limbs respectively.

The sheep wanted to struggle and kicked its legs a few times, but it was really no match for the three bears.

After a few seconds, the sheep lay down obediently, with a hint of helplessness in its eyes.

Chen Chuan picked up the shaving tool and explained to the camera while shaving: "This wool can be used again after being shaved. In a few days, I plan to make some wool mats for Hu Zi and San Xiong to use as nests in the winter.

It is both environmentally friendly and practical.”

The shaving process went smoothly, and the wool was shaved off strands and piled into a ball.

Netizens in the live broadcast room watched the tacit cooperation between Sanxiong and Chen Chuan, and posted comments one after another:

"Three Bears is so strong that he is a super helper on the ranch." "Sheep: I resisted, but I failed.

"Host, your team is so well coordinated."

Chen Chuan smiled and responded: "Yes, the three bears are strong and work quickly. With them around, I feel much more relaxed."

After shaving the sheep, Chen Chuan dragged it aside and began to slaughter and process it.

He moved skillfully and tried to minimize the pain inflicted on the sheep.

The processed mutton was cut into pieces, part of it was marinated, and the other part was roasted directly on the fire.

After a while, the aroma of mutton spread, and the mutton was sizzling. The golden fat dripped onto the fire, making slight popping sounds.

When Hu Zi smelled the fragrance, his eyes widened and his saliva couldn't stop flowing.

It moved closer to the fire and made a low whimper in its throat, as if urging Chen Chuan to hurry up.

Chen Chuan glanced at it and said with a smile: "Huzi, don't worry, it will be ready soon."

He cut a piece of freshly roasted mutton and handed it to Hu Zi.

Hu Zi couldn't wait to grab it and swallowed it in three or two bites. Then he looked at Chen Chuan eagerly and wagged his tail even faster.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were delighted, and the comments were posted quickly:

"Hu Zi's eating style is so realistic!"

"Host, if you don't give Hu Zi more food, he might rebel."

"The mutton looks so delicious. It makes me so hungry."

Chen Chuan laughed and cut a few more pieces of mutton, sharing them with Hu Zi and San Xiong: "Come on, everyone has worked hard today, let's have a good meal together."

Sanxiong took the mutton and began to chew it slowly, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Hu Zi ate voraciously, his mouth full of oil, and did not forget to look up and hum a few times at Chen Chuan, as if to say "have some more".

After working for a whole morning, Chen Chuan finally finished processing the mutton.

He sat by the fire, watching the animals eat happily, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He said to the camera: "Today's mission was accomplished well. The mutton is enough for us to eat for a while. Next I have to make some wool mats and try to make sure everyone on the ranch has a warm winter."

Chen Chuan looked up at the starry sky, thinking silently in his heart: I have to kill a few more sheep tomorrow, and I can't be careless in the winter on the ranch.

He looked down at Hu Zi and said softly, "Hu Zi, I'll have to rely on you to keep watch tomorrow, don't be lazy."

Hu Zi snorted, turned over and continued to sleep in his mutton dream.

The early morning sun shone through the mist onto the pasture. Chen Chuan got up early, pushed open the door of the wooden house, and the cold air that hit him refreshed him.

The aroma of last night's mutton still seemed to linger in the air, arousing the appetite in his stomach.

He patted his belly, smiled and said to himself: "I have to keep busy today, otherwise it will be difficult to survive in winter."

He walked into the yard and saw Hu Zi lying on a wool mat, sleeping soundly.

Hu Zi was on guard last night, and when the ranch became quiet, he also went to rest.

Chen Chuan walked around it lightly and headed towards the sheepfold. (End of this chapter)
