Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 302 - 299: Teaching a Black Bear to Fish? The Lovable Bear with Spirit!

In the live broadcast.

Jiang Feng walked in the desert of the no-man’s land, with a brawny black bear beside him.

Tens of thousands of people were watching this scene.

Everyone felt shocked.

[Stream master, are you really not scared?]

[This streamer is ridiculously strong!]

[So awesome, he actually dares to play with a wild black bear.]

[Grassland King is not just a brag. Even though the stream master isn’t as burly as those Mongolians, in my eyes, he is the toughest guy on the grassland!]

Jiang Feng was quite calm.

He explained to the viewers:

"Farm life is just like this, there’s nothing to be afraid of."

"I’m quite free, so I accompany it for a walk."

The black bear was very brawny, following behind Jiang Feng, trotting along.

It did not possess the terrifying look of the so-called "blind bear", but appeared rather cute and dumb.

At this time, Jiang Feng felt around in his pocket, pulling out a flower pastry.

He unwrapped it and broke it into two pieces.

He put one piece into his own mouth and handed the other to the black bear.

The black bear saw the flower pastry and immediately extended its paw, carefully taking it.

Its dark eyes examined the flower pastry, then brought it to its nose for a sniff.

Sensing the sweet taste, it devoured the flower pastry in one bite.

Then the black bear began to happily chew the flower pastry, tilting its head back, chewing with its molars.

It was clear that it was very happy.

After being hungry for so long, following Jiang Feng promised delicious treats, it inevitably felt tempted.

Jiang Feng continued walking forward, with the black bear following along.

Jiang Feng followed an iron fence outwards, eventually reaching outside the Mandula Grassland.

The river flowed into his grassland, taking a turn, separating Jiang Feng’s grassland from his own.

Jiang Feng came across the river which still had ice floes drifting on the surface.

"It’s not completely thawed yet, but it’s getting close."

"Underneath the ice floe, fish will be more active after being frozen all winter."

"When the time comes, I can use a fishing net to catch some."

"After all, we have wild rivers here, with no fishing bans."

Looking at the river, Jiang Feng said aloud.

This black bear lived deep in the unmanned area of the barren mountain.

The barren mountain had no rivers.

The grassland’s river mainly comes from abundant underground water, so there aren’t rivers at higher altitudes.

"Come over here, follow the upstream, there are definitely fish in here."

Jiang Feng said to it.

The black bear looked into the river.

Black bears love to eat fish, but their fishing ability is quite basic, only able to catch fish in shallow areas near the riverbank.

It couldn’t manage once it ventured a bit deeper into the river.

So in the forest, some bears wait at fish migration spots for fish to jump up to their doom.

But those are grizzlies.

As for black bears, living in the mountain forests is still more suitable.

One man and one bear walked along the riverbank.

Jiang Feng thought of something and reminded:

"Here I need to emphasize with everyone that black bears are also very strong contenders; if you spot one early in the wild, better run quickly."

"Also, don’t venture into the barren mountains alone. If there are companions, black bears won’t attack either."

"But encounters with grizzlies are not the same; bears eat black bears, those guys are even stronger, humans can’t compete."

"So, stay away from them as much as possible, don’t be reckless like me."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the viewers responded one after another:

[Stream master, rest assured, we won’t take risks!]

[Even if I wanted to encounter one, I couldn’t!]

[I cherish my life too much, I won’t venture into the wild, at most I’ll visit the zoo!]

[Not everyone is as strong as you.]

In the wild, black bears might attack humans, and bears are ridiculously fast when they run, their combat strength is extremely formidable, and climbing trees doesn’t work.

Jiang Feng walked along the river outwards, coincidentally seeing Mandula driving back in his direction.

Mandula saw Jiang Feng and greeted:

"Jiang Feng, are you out here for a stroll too?"

Mandula’s nephew was also in the truck, the two of them driving a freight truck, with unknown cargo loaded in the back.

"Yeah, I encountered a black bear, and I’m taking it to the river to find some fish."

Jiang Feng replied.

Upon hearing Jiang Feng say this, Mandula paused briefly.

He noticed only then the skinny black bear following Jiang Feng.

"Wow! This bear is nice, where did you buy it? Can I get one too?" Mandula also loves raising animals, as ranch owners often do.

When first starting out, herding is particularly exhausting, but gradually forming a scale, accumulating initial capital, ranchers become slightly more relaxed.

With more time to raise animals.

Viewers couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing Mandula’s words.

Jiang Feng waved his hand, "This is a wild bear, how can you keep it? We can’t keep bears here."

"What are you out here for?"

Looking at the bear, Mandula replied, "I went to net some fish, the river has thawed, and there are quite a few fish. I can’t finish them, I’m planning to bring you some."

"That’s perfect, give me a few now to feed the black bear." Jiang Feng immediately said.

"Sure!"

Mandula stopped the truck, got out, lifted a bucket from the vehicle, grabbed two big fish, and tossed them next to the black bear.

The black bear wasn’t afraid and started eating the fish.

Jiang Feng and Mandula Map were watching.

"Hey, this bear is pretty awesome."

"I think I heard them say before that you encountered a bear on the grassland in winter. Many people thought it was impossible."

"I didn’t believe it. I’ve been here for so long and have never seen a bear around."

"I didn’t expect it to be true."

Mandula Map was very pleased, as he likes bigger animals, so he has many Mongolian Mastiffs.

This black bear is much bigger than the Mongolian Mastiffs, and it looks very majestic.

Jiang Feng nodded, "I didn’t expect it either, but it just happened."

The two chatted happily by the riverbank.

The black bear continued eating fish with its head down.

This scene livestreamed, leaving the grassland herders puzzled on how to explain it.

Now everyone understands that the Mongolians living in cities are the same as residents from other places; just city dwellers.

However, the herders deep in the grasslands are believed to be able to ride horses, shoot arrows, wrestle, and be quite wild.

Otherwise, how could they not fear black bears?

Mandula Map watched the black bear for a while, truly liking it, especially its big head.

Though the black bear was thin, its black fur was shiny and clean, looking quite pretty.

But he had other matters at the ranch, so Mandula Map bid farewell to Jiang Feng and returned to the ranch.

Jiang Feng continued ahead with the black bear.

The black bear is very intelligent, gradually trusting Jiang Feng.

There’s a case abroad where a wild black bear went to visit and care for an old granny, and when leaving, it even shut the door for her.

It can only be said that this creature, when fierce, resembles a ruthless killing machine, and when gentle, it understands human sentiments.

Jiang Feng walked along the riverbank ahead.

He was searching for a suitable area.

Not long after, he saw a massive pool ahead.

"Look here, when fish migrate, they’ll pass through this area, and some will get stranded here."

"Fish are strange; they love to swim upstream and live in water at the source."

"So one just needs to guard this area to see fish coming up."

"Certainly, there aren’t too many fish, but enough to eat."

"If it learns to splash around and catch fish in shallow water, it shouldn’t be a problem."

"It’s easier than catching deer in the forest."

Jiang Feng said as he arrived at the pool.

The black bear sat beside him, gazing into the pool.

It seemed to notice some movement, appearing exceptionally focused.

Gradually, the black bear’s concentration intensified, completely absorbed by the pool.

The online viewers also witnessed this scene.

[This bear’s expression is so funny, looks quite goofy!]

[From the video, the bear still looks pretty cute!]

[Just afraid it’ll steal robes when it grows up.]

At this moment, the black bear suddenly moved.

It quickly leapt into the pool, moving swiftly.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

With each of its splashes, the sound of water splashing rang out.

The black bear was fishing.

Jiang Feng watched with amusement from the shore.

However, despite its splashing, the black bear didn’t catch any fish.

This is because the black bear never learned fishing techniques, nor did it learn from its mother bear when it was young.

It looked around anxiously.

The viewers found this scene amusing and laughed loudly.

Jiang Feng was more concerned about the black bear’s situation.

"Xiaopang, don’t move yet!"

"Stay still!"

Jiang Feng reminded the black bear.

Upon hearing Jiang Feng, the black bear paused, its expression slightly naive.

"Don’t move, wait for the fish to appear, then catch them."

Jiang Feng tried to tell the black bear using simple language.

The black bear stood in the pool, remaining still, its eyes fixed on the water’s surface.

It truly seemed to understand human speech.

[This bear really understands?]

[The host might have a way of communicating with animals!]

[Unbelievable!]

[The black bear really is goofy!]

Seeing the black bear still, Jiang Feng didn’t say much more, just accompanying it in waiting.

Suddenly, the black bear sensed something and exerted force!

After all, it was a bear, possessing absolute strength.

Its exertion was formidable; ordinary animals couldn’t withstand it.

Water splashed everywhere. Seeing the flying water, the viewers couldn’t help but feel a bit tense.

This guy was fierce; only someone like the host dared to approach.

Shortly after, they saw the black bear with a lively fish in its mouth.

It happily ran to the shore and began to feast.

Seeing it like this, Jiang Feng laughed.

This big black bear really is quite goofy.
