Chapter 41 -41: Caught a Little Fox!
Seeing that the ducklings had had enough swimming, Xu Yang called them over.
The little guys were having a great time, chirping and quacking joyfully.
Their small wings were still flapping ceaselessly.
Witnessing this lovely scene, the netizens couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
At this moment, Xu Yang spoke in a relaxed tone,
“When ducks are happy, they eat and can fatten up quickly.”
“And the meat of these ducks is also delicious.”
Hearing this, the netizens were slightly taken aback.
[Host, are you a devil?]
[Duckies, cover your ears, it’s a dirty word, don’t listen!]
[How can you eat the ducklings when they are so cute?]
[How could you bear to eat such adorable ducklings?]
[Can’t bear it now, but when it’s roasted duck, it will taste better than anything!]
The chat became instantly lively.
Xu Yang remained calm; after all, the ducks from the breeding center were meant to be eaten when they grew up.

If he could make their growth process a bit happier and healthier, that would be nice.
Different animals have different fates.
Little Black emerged from the swimming pool, stood on the steps, and vigorously shook its body to dry off the water.
For such a small creature, it was quite energetic.
Then, looking down the staircase, it hesitated for a moment, its front feet trying to move forward, yet not daring to step down.
“Too small to dare go down the stairs, but it sure ran up quickly,” Xu Yang said with a laugh as he went over and picked it up.
Xu Yang didn’t plan on putting away the swimming pool and just left it there.
When needed, he would just drain the water and fill it with fresh water again.
If the weather got hot, he could also take a dip himself.
After their swim, the ducklings shook off water in the yard and quacked excitedly.
With their feathers somewhat damp, they looked very cute.
Xu Yang took a cardboard box, placed the ducklings in it one by one, and took them back to the duck shed.
The scene was leisurely and relaxing.
The netizens watching the farm’s daily life also felt at ease.
But just as Xu Yang was putting the ducklings back into the duck shed and was walking out, he turned his head and suddenly noticed two little chicks lying on the ground in the neighboring chicken coop.
More accurately, two mangled little chicks.
Xu Yang’s expression changed instantly!
“My chickens! There’s a chicken thief!” he exclaimed as he hurried into the chicken coop.
The walls of the chicken coop weren’t tall; the red brick wall was about waist high, allowing anyone outside to easily see inside.
Inside were two empty rooms, set up with chicken nests.
The drone followed Xu Yang closely.
The netizens hadn’t expected such a development and were suddenly intrigued.
On the ground lay two dead chicks, almost half-eaten.
Seeing this, Xu Yang quickly looked into the chicken coop.
The rest of the chicks were inside, huddled together, safe for the moment.
Only two chicks were dead.
From their condition, it was clear they hadn’t been dead long; the blood hadn’t completely dried.
“What happened? What did this?” Xu Yang pondered while standing in the courtyard of the chicken coop.
There were too many animals in the forest that ate chickens.
“It could be a weasel, but weasels normally don’t steal chickens if they’re not provoked.”
“Sure hope it’s not this guy; sometimes weasels kill chickens without eating them.”
“Could also be a lynx; they’re pretty fierce too.”
Xu Yang frowned slightly.
The live chat also heated up.
[Damn! Is it this thrilling? A murder case on the farm?]
[In these cases, you can only chalk it up to bad luck; wild animals have too strong a hunting ability!]
[The host must strengthen anti-theft measures!]
[They dare to enter in broad daylight, lawlessness prevails!]
[Such incidents are quite normal in a mountain village.]
[Whose home hasn’t lost a few chickens!]
Just then, Xu Yang suddenly heard a yelping sound coming from outside.
Xu Yang quickly walked out from the yard to check.
To his surprise, he saw three small foxes by the chicken coop, eyeing him with a sneaky look.
The foxes seemed uneasy and nervous.
Now “caught red-handed”, the culprit was successfully captured by Xu Yang.
“So it was you guys, stealing my chickens!”
Xu Yang noticed a hole behind the courtyard wall; the foxes might have slipped in through it.
Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, the three foxes immediately began to yelp anxiously as if trying to explain something.
They looked quite adorable.
However, Xu Yang felt that he couldn’t let them get away with their chicken-stealing habit, so he quickly ran over, about to catch the foxes.
The foxes, scared, started to run away, but Little Fox, not aware of Xu Yang’s capabilities, was quickly captured by him and lifted up.
Viewers watching the scene began to comment:
[There are actually foxes outside, wow, three little ones at that!]
[Are these the chicken killers?]
[They look so cute! What does the host intend to do!?]
[Aren’t wild foxes also protected animals?]
[It’s just two chickens; they’re only a few bucks each, don’t hurt the foxes!]
At that moment, Xu Yang spoke:
“Everyone rest assured, I definitely won’t hurt the fox, nor will I treat it badly.”
“But for the safety of the chickens, ducks, and geese in the chicken, duck, and goose shed, I still need to teach them a lesson, or should I say, a threat.”
“Let them know that stealing is wrong, otherwise they will become more and more rampant.”
“My plan is to keep it confined for half an hour, and then let it go after that. This situation is not illegal; it’s a normal way of handling an emergency.”
“This Little Fox is sentenced to half an hour of imprisonment.”
As he spoke, Xu Yang carried the Little Fox and placed it in a cage.
The Little Fox whimpered pitifully inside the cage.
Xu Yang then brought it to the scene of the crime, pointed at the dead chicks, and said:
“These are my chickens; you can’t steal them.”
“And you definitely can’t kill them recklessly.”
Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, Little Fox yelped again.
The fox still looked pretty cute.
Xu Yang quite liked it.
If it weren’t for his need to ensure the safety of his farmed chickens and ducks, Xu Yang would not mind feeding the foxes.
But he couldn’t foster Little Fox’s bad habit of hunting and stealing.
The fox stared at the dead chick on the ground, still whimpering, its voice tinged with a cry.
Xu Yang felt a bit of pity.
“Alright, I’ll only confine you for a short time; no more crying, how about I feed you some grapes?”
Xu Yang, holding the cage, placed it on top of the wall.
He then went back inside the house to get some grapes and also some beef jerky.
After he came out, Xu Yang fed the grapes and beef jerky to Little Fox in the cage.
The little rascal, upon smelling the beef jerky, immediately grabbed it and started nibbling away.
With something to eat, it stopped yelping and looked rather content,
Truly a glutton.
The main thing is that human-made food is too delicious, ordinary little animals simply can’t resist.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yang smiled as well.
The other two little foxes hadn’t run far and were watching from not too far away.
Seeing that Xu Yang didn’t harm the Little Fox, they also calmed down a bit.
Soon enough, the two foxes ran away as if flying.
Not long after, they returned, and even approached Xu Yang on their own initiative.
This was completely out of Xu Yang’s expectations.
