Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 116 - 114: Even Yip Man Couldn’t Win!
[Holy crap!]
[Holy crap!]
The livestream chat cheered enthusiastically!
The viewers never expected Jiang Feng to shoot with such precision!
[The host really knows how to shoot!]
[Awesome! This is untouchable!]
[Actually hit the target!]
[Pretty impressive!]
At Jiang Feng’s feet, both Xiaojin Hua and Little White Wolf stood up, their eyes on the arrow in the haystack.
The commotion earlier had startled these little creatures and they were now watching intently.
Jiang Feng looked at the distant haystack and found it quite amusing.
Shooting arrows under the warm autumn sunlight felt pretty good.
"Got it."
Jiang Feng said with a light chuckle.
In his heart, he still retained the playful nature of a boy and maintained a love for these real-world toys.
Jiang Feng looked at the chat.
It was filled with praises.
[Host, shoot another arrow!]
[Truly cool!]
[Do it again!]
Jiang Feng put down his phone and picked up the bow and arrow again, drawing the bow and aiming, the arrowhead slightly elevated.
The arrows didn’t fly out in a straight line, as the bowstring didn’t have that much force.
So he had to slightly lift it, calculating the angle and landing point of the parabola.
The sound of the vibrating bowstring echoed through the livestream chat again.
The humming sound seemed to transport people back to ancient battlefields.
This time, the drone clearly captured the entire process of the arrow’s flight.
The arrow traced a low parabola before landing precisely into the haystack once more.
The viewers cheered again.
[Though archery looks complicated, trying it reveals just how hard it is!]
[The host definitely has some talent within him!]
[How many skills is the streamer hiding, he can shoot arrows too?]
[Kids growing up on the grassland, knowing archery is very normal!]
[No, I grew up on the grassland too, and I’ve never seen anyone play with bows and arrows around me!]
The livestream was filled with laughter and joy.
Just then, something unexpected occurred.
Jiang Feng’s arrow had just been shot when a loud cry echoed overhead.
The sharp sound reverberated above the pasture.
The next moment, a shadow suddenly fell straight from the sky.
On hearing the sound, Jiang Feng hurriedly looked up.
The drone’s perspective also turned towards the sky.
People saw that shadow.
Jiang Feng was also a bit startled.
What was happening?
A startled bird?
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Feng saw in the sky another bird of prey, it was the Golden Eagle he had saved.
The Golden Eagle was hunting a sparrow and lost grip on its first attack, causing the sparrow to fall.
The sparrow hit the ground not far away, and the next second, the Golden Eagle swooped down.
Seeing the Golden Eagle, both Little Donkey and Little White Wolf instinctively backed off.
After all, the Golden Eagle’s dominance is strong, a mature Golden Eagle can even attack wolves, let alone a little wolf and Little Donkey.
Xiaojin Hua wagged his tail, joyfully running over.
"What a coincidence, actually encountering a Golden Eagle."
"I just got a fright, I thought I shot down a protected animal."
Jiang Feng explained with a smile.
The unexpected scene surprised the viewers.
Golden Eagles, being such rare birds of prey, are almost impossible to see in a livestream.
Now with a Golden Eagle on the ground, many new viewers were seeing it for the first time, making it even more attractive.
Little White Wolf and Little Donkey still dared not approach.
The Little Border Collie, with great courage, ran over to watch the Golden Eagle peck at the sparrow’s head.
Golden Eagles typically prey on medium to large birds, but when extremely hungry, they’ll eat sparrows too.
It’s a tough season for all animals.
Jiang Feng worried the Little Border Collie might get carried away, so he went over.
Seeing Jiang Feng approach, the Golden Eagle showed no fear, staying focused on pecking at the sparrow’s meat.
Netizens were fervently discussing.
[Just now, for a moment, I thought the host actually shot down a bird!]
[Really bizarre!]
[Haha, such coincidence, just like a startled bird!]
Jiang Feng was quite pleased, having not seen the Golden Eagle for a long time.
Now the Golden Eagle’s injuries were fully healed, making it look even more majestic.
The Golden Eagle, while eating the sparrow, occasionally looked up at Jiang Feng, showing no guard in its demeanor.
Though the sparrow being eaten was rather tragic, nature is so cruel, birds of prey need to feed daily, some animals are bound to be devoured.
This is nothing unusual on the vast grassland.
"I rescued that Golden Eagle. Occasionally, I still see it circling above the pasture."
"It has its own life now."
"The Golden Eagle of the grasslands is beloved and respected by the herders. I wouldn’t restrict its freedom either."
Jiang Feng held a bow and arrow, speaking softly.
At this moment, the Golden Eagle had finished eating the sparrow, wiped its beak with its feathers, and came to Jiang Feng’s side.
Jiang Feng squatted down, stroking the feathers on its chest.
This wild Golden Eagle was not yet fully mature and had to endure storms. It regarded Jiang Feng as family and would occasionally return to see him.
Jiang Feng could sense this.
In the livestream, one person, one eagle, and one dog were beside the haystack, exuding a sense of harmony between humans and nature.
[The venue host is truly extraordinary!]
[So impressive!]
[I find the Golden Eagle a bit intimidating, and he’s just casually touching it!]
[The host raising a top-level protected animal is perfectly normal!]
The Golden Eagle stayed with Jiang Feng for a while, then flapped its wings a few times at their location before slowly flying into the sky.
Seeing it leave, Jiang Feng smiled and said:
"I actually summoned the Golden Eagle."
"That cry just now gave me a start."
Jiang Feng walked to the haystack, preparing to pull out the arrows.
When they got closer, everyone saw two arrows shot straight into the haystack, with the same angle and depth. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"I’ll try signing up for next year’s Nadamu Festival."
"The three skills of the grassland men: horse riding, wrestling, and archery."
"I can’t wrestle, but I can participate in horse riding and archery."
"The champion rewards of the Nadamu Festival can be quite generous. Last time, the first place in horse racing won over a dozen horses."
"It’s enviable."
Jiang Feng pulled out the arrows, leisurely narrating.
The Nadamu Festival?
As a traditional festival of ethnic minorities, all the netizens have heard of the Nadamu Festival.
But the vast majority of people have never seen what this grand event is like.
Besides the Spring Festival, the Nadamu Festival is the most important holiday on the grassland.
[Can Han People participate in the Nadamu Festival?]
[Isn’t that a Mongolian People’s festival?]
A netizen immediately asked.
Seeing the comments, Jiang Feng replied:
"In recent years, the Han People can also participate in the Nadamu Festival. Moreover, when the festival is held every year, many tourists visit the grassland. The scene is quite spectacular."
"Nowadays, many ethnic minority festivals aren’t strictly divided by ethnicity anymore, like the Water-Splashing Festival, which everyone knows is the Dai People’s, but anyone can participate."
"The Nadamu Festival will be held on the fourth day of the sixth lunar month next year. It’s the season when the grassland scenery is the most beautiful, the grass is at its peak, the cattle and sheep are the strongest, and the mare’s milk wine is the most mellow."
"I’m now practicing horse riding and archery in advance."
"If I can represent Xilingol, I’ll get to compete with the best riders and archers from across the grasslands."
"The competition will be quite fierce."
Jiang Feng held the bow and arrow, narrating leisurely.
Riding, archery, wrestling, the three skills of grassland men.
On the vast grassland, possessing these skills makes one a hero.
[I told you, people on the grassland ride horses to school!]
[Their college entrance exams must include horse riding and archery!]
[The host probably learned this skill during his exams!]
[Haha, now the stereotypical perception can’t be changed!]
[Mongolian classmates, don’t you say you can’t ride horses?]
The comments section became lively again.
Jiang Feng returned to the starting point, shooting a few more arrows to get a feel.
His archery became increasingly skilled, with each shot accurately hitting the haystack.
Jiang Feng also felt a growing sense of anticipation for next year’s festival.
By then, the crowds would be immense, flags filling the skies, and the Horsehead Fiddle would play melodious music. Strong young men would compete and battle on the grassland.
If he could win the competition, his name would echo across the entire grassland.
Jiang Feng was already highly popular and was a well-known figure on the grassland’s social media.
If he won a championship at the Nadamu Festival, his fame would be unmatched, truly deserving the title of Grassland King.
At this moment, a netizen humorously asked:
[Host, you’ve participated in horse riding and archery, why not sign up for wrestling too?]
Seeing this comment, Jiang Feng laughed and said:
"The wrestling competition here only divides by gender, not weight."
"In the face of absolute strength, techniques don’t mean much."
"I’m too light, borrowing force isn’t that easy."
The netizens, hearing this, didn’t give up and urged:
[I’ve seen a skinny kid wrestle a chubby kid and the skinny kid won!]
[Host, use the strength against strength! We believe in you!]
Hearing this, Jiang Feng just chuckled.
If the opponent were a big guy with no wrestling experience, using technique might have a chance of winning.
But at the Nadamu Festival, those Mongolian wrestling strongmen not only weigh more and exert more strength but also have more wrestling experience than anyone.
Not even Jiang Feng, even if Yip Man tried, under wrestling rules, would only end up being thrown!
"Even Master Ye’s attempt to break through the middle wouldn’t work."
