Chapter 357 - 356: Picking Up a Roe Deer by the River, Is This Possible?!

Chapter 357: Chapter 356: Picking Up a Roe Deer by the River, Is This Possible?!

"Swallow, how am I supposed to live without you, Swallow!"

The big goose tried its best to flap its wings, hoping to keep up with the Red-crowned Crane’s pace.

But it was all in vain.

It clumsily fell to the ground, crying out in despair.

Xu Yang hurried over and picked it up.

At this moment, the livestream was still on, and the viewers were amused.

[Is this big goose chasing after a Red-crowned Crane? Hahaha, what a strange big goose!]

[I feel like it’s trying to fly!]

[Don’t say, it almost really took off!]

[That’s too outrageous!]

In the big goose’s eyes, there was a full desire to fly.

Xu Yang touched it, consoling it,

"Don’t be sad, so you can’t fly? At least you can swim."

"Worse comes to worst, I won’t stew you."

"Let you live a few more years."

Hearing Xu Yang say this, the viewers laughed again.

[Old Xu, you sure know how to comfort!]

Today’s livestream was also peculiar.

Seeing the Red-crowned Crane dance for Xu Yang, and witnessing an interesting big goose.

The big goose was clearly still down, continually honking in distress.

Xu Yang thought for a moment, then promised,

"Ba Zai, next year I’ll take you to a swan lake and let you loose in it."

"You can learn from the swans, that’s also very elegant."

Of course, the big goose was, after all, a big goose, and it couldn’t compare to the swans’ posture, physique, or the way they flew.

Ba Zai continued to "honk" nonstop, sniffling as if crying.

To be exact, it was crying.

The drone gave it a close-up shot.

The viewers were dumbfounded.

[Ah? Is this big goose crying? Am I seeing things?]

[Suggestion: stew it!]

[Are you all devils? It’s already so pitiful, and you still want to stew it!]

[I can’t watch such a sad scene, no way, I have to buy a roast goose to calm my nerves!]

[Hahaha, it really is crying, Old Xu’s farm animals are so magical!]

Xu Yang held the big goose, comforting it.

At this time, Little Black came over, eyeing the big goose with curiosity.

It had already felt that something was off with this big goose.

Other big geese stayed in the shed, or came out for a stroll.

Only this one followed the two Red-crowned Cranes every day, who knows doing what.

Now, it certainly had problems.

Soon, the big goose’s mood gradually stabilized, and Xu Yang put it back into the goose shed.

It was winter, and it was cold outside.

This fellow would freeze to death outside.

It had to be taken inside to be alright.

Xu Yang returned it to the goose shed, where it still stood stubbornly on one leg, its neck held high.

Xu Yang stood at the entrance of the goose shed, feeling somewhat conflicted for a moment.

To be honest, stewing it would be best, save trouble.

But such a big goose was rare, and it was fine to keep it.

Efforts were always seen.

Xu Yang actually planned to find it a swan lake next year, to let it live there.

The other geese didn’t have much brains, still huddling together, dazing or resting.

Occasionally, two dorky geese approached Ba Zai, curiously honking.

"Buddy, what you doing?"

"Is this being possessed?"

Hearing their greetings, Ba Zai didn’t pay them much attention.

Afterward, Xu Yang specifically told Niu Zhuang to leave Ba Zai alone if stewing big geese in the future, referring to the one-legged standing big goose.

Niu Zhuang knew which one Ba Zai was and agreed.

There was still plenty of time, and the livestream had a lot of viewers.

The recent Red-crowned Crane dance segment had been turned into a video clip and was wildly spreading online.

Now, everyone recognized he had something special.

Even the ethereal Red-crowned Cranes were favorable towards him.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Seeing so many people in the livestream room, Xu Yang thought, with nothing better to do, he might as well wander outside.

Long-lost daily farm life.

"Let’s go to the river, ice skate for a while!"

Xu Yang called out to the dogs.

Hearing his words, Little Black, Maquan, and Little Wolf scurried over, and the Husky, after hesitating, quickly followed.

This was not the city; the land was vast and sparsely populated, and the dogs didn’t need leashes, just being led along was fine.

"We’ll livestream some daily life today, wander by the river, have some fun."

"As a kid, I often went ice skating, especially on those wild lakes and rivers, the ice was frozen solid, and it was so much fun to skate and sit in ice sleds on them."

"Now it’s all tourist activities."

Xu Yang shared stories about the area with everyone.

Although it was daily life, the chat in the livestream room was lively because he had many fans.

Especially since the dogs were particularly beloved, along with an impressive wolf, the content of the livestream was exciting.

Soon, Xu Yang arrived at the riverbank.

The river here was completely solid with ice, probably one or two meters thick.

"Before, water access was inconvenient, in the winter, pipes would freeze, so we had to take a tricycle here, break ice blocks and pull them back home for freshwater."

"Now there’s no need, the pipes are covered with insulation, sometimes the flow is low, but it’s not a big problem."

Xu Yang reached the ice and saw a slick trail on the ice surface, smooth as a mirror.

Clearly, someone had played here before.

Xu Yang was in high spirits and ran quickly on the ice, sliding with ease.

At this instant, Old Xu seemed somewhat like a Sword Immortal soaring on his sword.

Seeing him like that, the dogs too got excited and quickly ran onto the river surface.

But as soon as they did, they slipped due to the slippery ice and fell to the ground.

The netizens immediately burst into laughter.

[Hahaha, Old Xu is quite interesting, still playing with this!]

[Looks like it’s a lot of fun!]

[The dogs are all so cute!]

At this time, Xu Yang, seeing the dogs this way, was also busy leading them from the icy layer to the shore.

"Today, let’s walk up along the river. There’s a lake ahead, and I bet we can find a few roe deer."

"Come winter, you often find roe deer trapped on the ice."

"They struggle a few times without getting up before they stop moving."

"Some roe deer even freeze to death on the ice."

"Really foolish."

"I’m sure to encounter a few as I go along," Xu Yang told everyone.

On hearing Xu Yang’s words, the netizens were slightly startled.

Ah?

Picking up roe deer on the ice?

Is that not absurd?

In fact, it wasn’t absurd at all.

Xu Yang led the dogs ahead, and when they reached a particularly large icy area, sure enough, they saw two foolish roe deer stupidly lying on top, attempting to walk to the other side.

Seeing them, Xu Yang immediately burst into laughter.

"I knew there would be some; these creatures are ridiculously stupid."

"I can’t understand their thought process."

"Their hooves are quite unique and they can’t stand firm on the ice."

"So, the ice is very dangerous for them."

The netizens were equally filled with glee.

[Ah? No way, there really are some!]

[Hahaha, you can pick up roe deer just by walking on the ice?]

[Old Xu’s experience is so rich, worthy of being a Mountain Rushing expert!]

[These roe deer are so stupid!]

They only saw one roe deer struggling to stand, all four legs shaking, and just as it took a couple of steps, its feet slipped, legs split apart, and it fell down on the icy surface.

Seeing this, Xu Yang decided to help them.

"I have to go and help, try to pull them up."

"Who knows how long they could struggle to get up."

"Just don’t get hurt."

While talking, Xu Yang made his way onto the ice.

At this time, the roe deer heard the commotion on the shore.

Seeing Xu Yang and the dogs all at once, they were suddenly startled.

Then, they saw the two roe deer start frantically thrashing about, all four legs churning rapidly.

The faster they thrashed, the more they slipped on the ice.

Then it turned into a tumble and crawl, sprawling on the ice, frantically sliding forward.

Xu Yang was a bit taken aback.

What’s happening?

Are they that scared?

But it turned out, his presence on the ice really was effective.

The two roe deer, frightened, quickly ran to the other side, then, struggling to stand, immediately hopped away briskly.

Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

No, I haven’t even touched them.

How did they get saved?

[Old Xu, that’s impressive, you saved them just like that!]

[It’s all you!]

[So that’s the method!]

[Scared the roe deer silly!]

The live stream audience was even more joyful.

It was also expected.

When the foolish roe deer turned around and saw a person with three dogs and a wolf, wouldn’t they be scared?

They just had to flee with all their might.

Roe deer were simply curious about strange noises and would come back to check.

But they certainly wouldn’t stay put when facing danger.

Xu Yang helplessly walked up from the riverside and said:

"I really wanted to help them; who knew they would struggle so violently."

"But, it’s considered help nonetheless."

"It was effective."

Xu Yang remained in high spirits.

He walked by the riverside, following the river upstream, admiring the scenery of the river.

It had completely frozen over.

The layer of ice was thick; you couldn’t see the water beneath.

This kind of wild river was usually uninhabited, at most, the village lads would come here to skate on the ice.

The scenery seemed somewhat lonely.

"It’s winter now, apart from the foolish roe deer, there are no other animals."

"Not even a Snow Mink to be seen."

"The forest is truly quiet," Xu Yang remarked as he looked around.

Usually, the forest was alive with the sounds of birds chirping, but during winter, those sounds were few.

After all, birds feel cold too; they go to their nests to rest.

Who would be in the forest howling in the dead of winter?

"Definitely, next time I go out, I’ll have to pick somewhere to the south, somewhere warmer."

"The temperature goes up, animals abound, and the scenery to be viewed is lively," Xu Yang further said to everyone.

Hearing him say this, the netizens were also filled with anticipation.
