Chapter 59 The Shaking Star Lotus

Wenwen held her binoculars and saw a dozen or so horses galloping in the distance, along with several foals, followed by flocks of sheep, cattle, and deer, all plump and strong, forming a large and orderly herd.

These fast-running long-legged animals were fighting as they ran, as if whoever could run the fastest could swallow the star lotus grass whole. They ran excitedly and fought fiercely, raising clouds of dust and weeds.

Some deer had antlers that were too large and heavy, causing a few sika deer to fall far behind the herd. Several wild boars followed not far away, and the boars and the sika deer at the rear of the herd were not to be outdone; a fight was about to break out. They used their antlers and their teeth, poking and biting each other.

The strong run ahead, and even the injured refuse to stop, striving to catch up.

From a distance, some other small animals could be seen trailing behind the wild boar. The group of animals chased and ran around, raising more and more dust that grew thicker and thicker, completely obscuring the viewfinder.

Wenwen gave up her desire to continue observing, put away her binoculars, and scrambled down.

Approaching the few people who were still trying to fan the flames.

"Friendly reminder: your way of stirring things up is indeed very effective, but what if there are more animals later? Will you be able to handle it?"

Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin looked somewhat uneasy, exchanging glances as if trying to shift the blame.

Wen Chengjian hesitated, unsure of what to do. He asked stammeringly, "Sister, can you fit two horses there? Live horses, live horses, is that possible?"

Wenwen found it amusing; so that's what they were worried about. She had just chatted with Xianbao, who welcomed the animals to live there so she wouldn't be too lonely. Xianbao even suggested putting the animals up in the mountains, where she would take care of them.

Wenwen naturally agreed to this good thing. She could raise them herself, and it would be convenient to catch them. She could achieve self-production and self-sales as soon as possible. This was the ideal life for Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace platform).

"Big brother, be more confident. Drop the 'ma' part. You need to have faith in me."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qikang perked up, "Wen'er, where's Uncle's tiger?"

Wen Chengfeng joined in the fun: "Little sister, a hawk?"

Wenwen's eyelids twitched. These two, father and son, really are like a dye shop that will start a dyeing workshop as soon as you give them a little paint.

Wen Chengbin interrupted, "Third Uncle, I didn't hear the tiger roar. Fourth Brother, if you want the eagle, look up first."

Wenwen added, "We didn't see any tigers or eagles, but there were a few small birds."

The first half of the sentence was said to Wen Qikang, and the second half was said to Wen Chengfeng.

The two of them have a habit of always picking out the words they want to hear and also like to go off-topic.

"So what did you see?"

"Horses, cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits, pheasants..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wen Chengbin excitedly asked, "Little sister, are there many horses? What do they look like?"

Wenwen glanced at him and said, "Many, a lot, probably more than a dozen, but I can't tell what kind they are."

Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin chuckled to each other, and Wenwen couldn't bear to look at them.

Wen Qikang calmed down and asked, "Wen'er, what did you use to see so many wild animals coming?"

My goodness! Wenwen looked at him with bright eyes and felt a surge of joy. Her third uncle had finally gotten to the point.

She took out the binoculars and handed them over, "Ta-da! Third Uncle, look here, look here..."

The group looked at her with bewilderment; she was full of surprises and delights, and they were gradually getting used to it.

"Wen'er, how do I use this?"

Wenwen used the shortest amount of time and the most concise language to teach everyone how to use this—the king of high-definition glasses from the modern era.

"Third Uncle, Fourth Brother, you can climb up the tree and sit and watch slowly, hehehe."

"Come on, you come up too."

"No, I'll go up later. I can climb fast, I'll make it in time."

Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin's insistence was useless. This time, Wenwen insisted on getting involved and refused to climb the tree.

The sound of long-legged animals running grew closer, and Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin quickly grabbed Wenwen and hid in the bushes nearby.

Soon, the sound of footsteps approached, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen horses arrived at the tree with the star-shaped grass tied to it.

All the horses were circling around the big tree, their tails swishing back and forth, their necks craned back, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the star lotus grass high in the sky, their nostrils flared, their upper lips turned up, and drool dripping from the corners of their mouths.

The stronger horses occupied the inner circle, raising their forelegs high, arching their necks, and straightening their bodies to try to reach the star lotus grass. They jumped, leaped, and swayed back and forth, but no matter how much they struggled, they could never reach the star lotus grass.

The horses snorted loudly, one after another, sounding somewhat restless. Their hooves dug furiously in the pit, their neighing echoing all around. They circled around rapidly, jostling each other.

Anyone who craves food, even if it's right in front of them, visible and smellable, but they can't eat it, will eventually feel frustrated and irritable.

Wenwen and the others hid to the side, controlling the distance between Xinghecao and the horses with straw ropes, watching the horses frolic with amusement.

Wen Chengbin asked in a low voice, "Brother, can you tell what kind it is?"

"You wouldn't believe it, there are wild horses on both sides."

Wenwen succinctly put it, "Whether a horse is wild or not, a good horse is one that runs fast and is obedient."

"Yes, sister is right. But, brother, which two should we catch?"

After hearing this, Wenwen blinked and thought to herself, "What do you mean by two or three horses? If you're so capable, take them all down. How can we let them get away?"

Suddenly, several foals moved away from the center of the tree. They lowered their heads and nibbled at the tender grass, gradually walking into the bushes, where the surrounding weeds almost completely concealed their figures.

Wenwen had a sudden inspiration; she shouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

She secretly took out a few stalks of star lotus grass and held them in her palm. She walked a few more steps forward, found a place with dense weeds, sat down, and shook the grass with both hands.

She imitated them, trying to attract the foal by shaking it and releasing a fragrant aroma.

Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin stared in disbelief at her series of actions. If it weren't for the special circumstances, Wen Chengbin would definitely have asked all the "why" questions.

Wenwen didn't intend to explain. She put her index finger to her lips and shushed him, then turned her head and continued shaking it earnestly and cheerfully.

These foals were probably starving, as they kept their heads down, munching on tender grass and following the scent of the grass, slowly making their way toward where Wenwen and the others were hiding.

Sure enough, the swaying starflower grass attracted the foal.

"Young people have such a good sense of smell," Wenwen exclaimed as she made thorough preparations.

She pricked up her ears, listening to the movements of the foal, the trotting sounds of the nearby grass drawing ever closer.

Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin tightened the rope on that side and leaned over to keep an eye on the surrounding movements.

The foal gradually came into their sight, about 30 meters away in a straight line.

Wenwen kept her eyes fixed on them, counting their steps.

She silently counted in her mind: 20 meters, 10 meters, 5 meters, a little closer, okay, time to close the net.

Wenwen chuckled, waved, and muttered, "Go!"

At the same time, they didn't forget to notify Linebao to receive the upcoming new members.

Several foals vanished in an instant before their eyes.
