Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 57 - 55: It Runs, He Chases, It Can’t Get Away!
Two days later.
Jiang Feng returned from herding sheep, and the first thing he did was check on the watermelon seeds.
"They’ve been sun-dried enough; it’s time to soak them in warm water."
"Soak them in warm water for a while, then place them on a damp towel to sprout."
As Jiang Feng spoke, he placed the sun-dried watermelon seeds from the windowsill into a clean basin to soak.
Many people learned to plant watermelons using his method.
In the blazing summer, it felt quite nice if you could grow a watermelon yourself.
Of course, most people’s watermelons wouldn’t grow very large, as pot planting lacks nutrients compared to planting in the ground.
But even a watermelon the size of a fist is worth snapping a photo for social media.
Jiang Feng kept the damp towel moist, and the watermelon seeds continued to change after absorbing the water.
About an hour later, he saw that the originally black watermelon seeds started to turn white.
"Look, the seeds are turning white. That means the watermelon seeds are sprouting and can be planted."
"When planting, remember to keep the soil loose and don’t water too much."
Jiang Feng picked up the watermelon seeds and explained to the viewers.
Then, he planted the sprouted watermelon seeds in the ground and loosened the soil.
Afterwards, it was time to water, weed, and fertilize; the crops in the field would gradually grow.
Currently, this piece of land was very simple, surrounded by a circle of ridges, divided into six areas in the middle.
This land was situated in a sunken terrain, overall flat, helping prevent damage by strong winds from the prairie, maximizing protection for the crops.
It’s a piece of land quite suitable for growing vegetables.
In the live-streaming room, many people were trying Jiang Feng’s method. Some succeeded, others failed.
[Did your watermelon seeds turn white? Mine didn’t react at all!]
[Mine really did turn a little white! This is so interesting!]
[My watermelon seeds are changing too. Going to plant them now!]
[Plant small seeds, harvest big watermelons!]
[Learning farming with the ranch owner!]
In the chat, lively discussions ensued.
While Jiang Feng was farming, he heard the sound of oinking behind him.
He turned his head and saw the Little Pink Pig with a heart on its butt staring at him with little eyes.
This pig was particularly unique; Jiang Feng could recognize it at once even among the herd.
The netizens also noticed the little pig. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
[Hahaha, the pig is back!]
[Is it challenging the ranch owner?]
[This pig is so cute, I want to send it gifts!]
[The most interesting thing on the ranch is actually a little pig!]
Jiang Feng looked at the pig, "Out again?"
"Alright, let’s see if you can get out in half a month."
He had just finished planting the watermelon seeds and planned to go over and pick up the pig to bring it back to the pigsty.
But as he approached, the pig retreated, running a few steps before turning back to look at Jiang Feng.
Its challenging manner seemed to say:
"Come chase me!"
Jiang Feng furrowed his brow, confusion clouding his gaze.
"Is this pig...challenging me?"
Then, he quickened his pace and walked forward briskly.
Sure enough, as he moved, the pig ran backward. When Jiang Feng stopped, the pig stopped too, then turned to look at him.
For the first time, Jiang Feng felt so speechless.
This pig was definitely challenging him.
"You want to play, huh!"
"Fine, I’ll play with you!"
This time, Jiang Feng accelerated, sprinting toward the pig.
Seeing this, the pig let out a series of frantic squeals, turned its head, and sped up.
The pig’s small steps moved swiftly, every muscle in its body straining, its little rear constantly wiggling.
The originally tranquil ranch suddenly turned rowdy.
The netizens watching this scene were stunned!
What on earth is happening?
Why is the ranch owner racing with a pig out of nowhere?
[Go, ranch owner!]
[If it escapes, he chases; it has nowhere to hide!]
[Chase me, and if you catch me, I’ll let you, hehe!]
[Let’s hype it up!]
[Little Pig: I just enjoy being chased by men!]
The chat was in uproar, and the netizens shared a hearty laugh.
Jiang Feng ran fast, and it wasn’t long before he caught up, pinning the pig to the ground.
The pig started squealing again.
"This little guy really knows how to cause a fuss!"
Jiang Feng picked up the pig and carried it back to the pigsty, once again capturing it back into the pen.
"Raising pigs really is a labor-intensive job."
The drone filmed the Little Pink Pig among the pig herd, still the only one with its head held high.
The drone switched to a panoramic angle, capturing the moment of Jiang Feng and the pig’s confrontation.
This scene was immortalized on camera.
Many netizens are quite talented.
In Jiang Feng’s live-stream, there was a creator named Li Yue, who usually edited pet videos and posted them on Bilibili, amassing nearly 400,000 followers.
Li Yue, inspired by the story of Jiang Feng and the Little Pink Pig, was brimming with ideas!
Quickly, he downloaded the recordings of Jiang Feng and the Little Pink Pig from recent days and started editing.
The more he edited, the more excited he became, finding it increasingly amusing.
After about ten hours of editing, his final product was ready.
The video was titled "Just Because I Glanced at You in the Pig Herd."
The background music featured a magical version of "Legend."
Li Yue immediately posted the video on his Bilibili account.
His followers clicked in to watch it.
The melodious music played from the video.
"Just because I glanced at you in the pig herd~"
"I couldn’t forget your face ever since"
As the soothing music played, the video showed Jiang Feng and the Little Pink Pig staring at each other.
Li Yue added a "sweet filter" to this scene.
Pink petals and purple bubbles floated across the screen.
The originally mundane gaze transformed, acquiring a touch of affection under the filter.
Then he added a close-up of the pig, whose eyes indeed looked adorable under the filter.
Next, the music continued:
"When thinking of you, you are far away"
"When thinking of you, you are near"
"When thinking of you, you are in my mind"
"When thinking of you, you are in my heart"
These four lines of lyrics matched the scene where Jiang Feng stepped forward, the pig retreated, then stopped to look at him.
It was pure and ambiguous.
Following this, the melodic song accompanied mostly clips of Jiang Feng chasing the pig.
When Jiang Feng picked up the struggling pig, the song soared toward its climax.
"I’d rather believe we had a past-life agreement"
"This love story won’t change"
"I’d rather wait my whole life for you to find out"
"I’ve been by your side, never wandering far"
The scene was originally a frantic pig squeal.
But Li Yue cleverly slowed down the playback speed, hiding the background sounds.
The struggling pig turned into a happy pig.
The chase transformed into playful flirting, appearing as if happily playing.
The audience watching the video laughed joyfully.
"Great work, well deserving of praise!"
"A solid three thumbs up!"
"Did the ranch owner know you edited it like this?"
"Had I not been on-site, I might just have believed it!"
"The ranch owner’s reputation is doomed!"
"Being single for so long, even a pig looks charming."
The video’s impact was fantastic, attracting more viewers.
Many people got to know Jiang Feng through it, recognizing this young ranch owner.
Jiang Feng’s follower count started to grow.
He never expected that yet another surge in popularity would be due to a little pig.
