"Hey! Where did this kitten come from?"
The next morning, the Liu family members who had just woken up heard Wang Fengjing's scream when she opened the door.
"What? Where?" Liu Shuangying and Liu Yibiao ran out first.
Wang Fengjing pointed to the door: "This!"
I saw a bunch of kittens huddled together on the steps outside his house. Each one had fluffy fur, sleepy eyes, and meowed one after another.
Others also ran over to see.
"Hey! Isn't this the kitten we fed last night?" Liu Rui's eyes widened. She recognized the little orange cat at a glance. The fur on the kitten's head was standing up and swaying with its little head.
"You brought it back? Why did you put it outside?" Liu Yibiao looked at Liu Rui.
"No, we didn't bring any back!" Liu Rui explained, "We fed them by the woods east of the village and came back on our own after feeding them."
"Could it be that they couldn't bear to leave us and followed us here?" Liu Lei guessed.
"Nonsense! How can such a small cat run so far by itself?"
"Is it because you brought it back but you don't dare to tell us? We didn't say you can't keep it! Why are you hiding it?" Liu Shuanghu said with a smile.
Liu Rui, Liu Lei and Liu Sen looked at each other, confusedly thinking that the other had really brought the cat back secretly.
Wang Caiqing took a look, shook her head and said, "Maybe the mother cat didn't want to keep it, and just threw it to you because she saw you guys were feeding it."
"How could that be?" Liu Sen said, "The mother cat was not there when we fed her."
"Are you sure it's not there? It might be watching from somewhere!"
"Indeed, some of the wild cats in the village are quite clever."
Wang Fengjing saw the kittens trembling and said distressedly, "Take them back first and find a place for them."
The Liu family gathered together to watch. Wang Fengjing quickly found a wooden frame, put some old clothes on it, and put the cats in it.
"Is this our cat from now on?" Liu Rui asked.
"We can't just ignore it, so we have to keep it. It's a bit too much." Wang Fengjing reached out and touched the kitten moving around in the frame.
"It's just right for watching over the house and catching mice." Liu Sen said that there is always food stored at home, which attracts mice the most.
Liu Yibiao sneered: "This cat is not even as big as a mouse. You better watch it carefully, don't let the mice eat it."
The big fat rat in the village is not a little hamster, it is very fierce.
The younger generations nodded silently and decided to bring the cats into the room at night.
"What does a cat of this size eat?" Liu Lei was curious.
"I have experience in all these. You should hurry up and have breakfast. We still have to go to the store later!" Wang Fengjing drove them away.
A few people had no choice but to go eat.
After dinner, Liu Ben drove his third brother's wife to the store without delay, just like he did yesterday, and then went to the village where Zhao Weiguang lived according to the address he sent.
"You really came?" Zhao Weiguang said, shaking his head as he led him aside. "How stubborn."
Zhao Weiguang's stables are well-built, with a cement factory building in front and a fenced-in cattle pen in the back. The sun is out, the weather is beautiful, and Zhao Weiguang has already driven the cattle from the factory building to the cattle pen.
Cows with small bodies but exaggerated chests are strolling leisurely in the cowshed. There are also a few calves among them, some of which are drinking milk beside their mothers, while others are playing by themselves.
"Letting the cattle out for a stroll every day is to keep them happy," Zhao Weiguang said. "And we clean the barn while we're at it."
The two men entered the cowshed, where there were a lot of messy and dirty things. These had to be cleaned up in time to avoid affecting the health of the cows.
There was a woman inside, sweeping the floor with a hose. Zhao Weiguang introduced her to Liu Ben: "This is my wife, Feng Ting."
Feng Ting heard the sound, looked up and smiled at Liu Ben, but didn't say anything and continued to clean with her head down.
"It's a little dirty, and the cows can't understand what you say, so they often poop and urinate everywhere, so you have to clean their living environment regularly." Zhao Weiguang also took out a rake to work, talking as he cleaned, his face covered in sweat.
This was not a difficult task for him. Liu Ben could make Niu understand.
"That's the issue of hygiene, and then there's feeding. Cows like fresh grass the most, but we don't have that condition here, so I can only transport it from outside. The cost is not high, but it's not low either," said Zhao Weiguang.
In addition, dairy cows also need to add corn, concentrate and other things in a certain amount.
Liu Ben asked, "Is it okay to just feed them grass?"
Zhao Weiguang: "That's fine, but the nutrition might not be enough, which will lead to lower milk production."
Liu Ben nodded. He would not feed the cows too much mixed food if possible. He had tasted the wild grass collected from his own space. In his opinion, it was definitely the best feed and was no less nutritious than concentrated feed.
"There are also issues like the cattle's environment and drinking water. These are very particular, and I can't finish explaining them all at once," Zhao Weiguang said with a smile. "You're so young, do you really want to learn all this?"
"Learn." Liu Ben nodded.
Liu Ben and Zhao Weiguang started raising cattle together. There's a lot to learn about raising cattle, like what might be happening when a cow is in trouble. These are things the cows themselves don't understand. Even if you could communicate with them, they wouldn't be able to explain why. Science is key.
Of course, studying is a bit boring and time-consuming, so Liu Ben's hobby of farming was delayed, which made Liu Ben a little unhappy.
So, under the instigation of the system, the bored Liu Ben would find Gou Qi's family whenever he had free time, and find an opportunity to beat them up while they were on their way to work, school, or play.
Liu Ben also placed a lot of sacks in the space field, which he could take out from time to time to trap people.
Gou Qi and his men were certainly not the type to remain silent after being beaten. Every time they were beaten, they would immediately call the police, hoping to catch them in the act. But the clever thing was that every time they were beaten, it was outside the surveillance cameras, or the surveillance cameras only captured their backs.
Moreover, each time the vague silhouette was captured by the surveillance camera, it was a different figure, some muscular, some tall and thin, and none of them matched Liu Ben. After beating someone up, he quickly ran away. When we searched for him based on that figure, we were all ruled out as a suspect one by one. It was really baffling.
Even if Zhu Qian swore that Liu Ben had paid the man, the police would not arrest anyone without evidence. Of course, the police were seriously investigating the attack on the two of them, but they had no clues.
It stands to reason that with the current density of surveillance deployed across the country, no one should be able to escape after committing crimes frequently. However, the fact is that every time a person beats someone up and leaves the surveillance range, he or she does not appear in the surveillance footage as theoretically should.
This bizarre incident certainly attracted the attention of the police, but after all, there were only two victims, and although they were beaten badly, they were not seriously injured each time, just in great pain. Compared with other vicious cases, it was not as serious. So when there were many cases piling up, this matter that had no clue was put on hold.
Even if Gou Qi later used his power to find someone to put pressure on the police, the police would be helpless. They couldn't find the police, not because they didn't try hard.
Of course, Liu Ben was also questioned, but he acted calmly, as if he really didn't do it. Moreover, there was indeed no unclear financial transactions in his account, so he was quickly cleared of suspicion.
However, the more he beat people, the less points he gained from beating them. As the system reminded him, the points he gained from repeatedly beating the same person would become fewer and fewer. Liu Ben beat Gou Qi and the other three so hard that they no longer dared to act alone. They hired many bodyguards to surround him all the time. In the end, he only gained 432 points for beating them, which also included the newly gained achievement points of "Perseverance" and "Proficiency".
It was getting harder to beat him, and Liu Ben felt that he had learned enough, so he again asked Zhao Weiguang to buy a cow.
"Ah? You're just getting started, so this is barely a theory. You don't even understand the specific operations?" Zhao Weiguang was putting a milking machine on the cow as he spoke.
"I bought it and I got familiar with it as I raised it," said Liu Ben.
He has roughly figured it out in the past few days. As long as the living environment and food and drink of the cows are guaranteed, the probability of other problems occurring is very small. If the cows feel a little uncomfortable, he can immediately ask Zhao Weiguang for help.
However, the best way is to directly hire Zhao Weiguang.
Liu Ben's idea is not without reason.
"We can't be too hasty, let me tell you..." Zhao Weiguang had just said a few words when his wife Feng Ting, who was sorting feed next to him, pulled him aside to talk.
Zhao Weiguang smiled at Liu Ben, asked him to help watch the milking machine and turn it off at the right time, and then he and Feng Ting walked away.
Liu Ben didn't care. He had very sensitive ears and could hear everything Zhao Weiguang and Feng Ting said.
Feng Ting said angrily, "What's wrong with you? Do you really want to sell it?!"
Zhao Weiguang explained: "Of course I want to. I promise that I will find a job outside after selling it. But he has only learned a few basic things now. If I let him go now, wouldn't that be hurting him?"
Feng Ting: "Then when there's a problem, just go over and solve it! How can there be problems every day?"
Zhao Weiguang said helplessly: "What kind of job can you leave at any time?"
Feng Ting: "Anyway, you have to take care of it this month. I don't want to clean up this cow dung anymore! I worked so hard all year and didn't make any money. I actually lost a lot!"
Zhao Weiguang said awkwardly, "Those who are willing to buy milk are all acquaintances. They don't buy much anyway, so I don't dare ask for too high a price..."
Feng Ting: "You had such a good idea from the beginning!"
Zhao Weiguang: ...
Liu Ben heard their argument clearly, and they had argued like this more than once during this period, and Liu Ben heard it all.
Zhao Weiguang likely gained experience raising cattle for others on the grasslands, but finding himself working tirelessly, far from home, and earning little, he decided to return home and start his own business. However, he ran out of funds and couldn't find a local store willing to stock his milk, which naturally led to his downfall.
He hadn't made any money in the past year and was always listening to other people's gossip. He couldn't stand it anymore and decided to sell the cows and find another job.
Liu Ben studied for a few days and then observed Zhao Weiguang for a few days.
Liu Ben did have the ability to command and tame cows, but cows can't feed themselves, can they? They can't bathe themselves, can they? More importantly, they can't milk themselves! All of these things require manual labor, and Liu Ben only wants to feed the cows to produce milk, not spend his time on these tasks.
It is very important to have a manager like Zhao Weiguang.
Having made this decision, Liu Ben stood up and walked towards Zhao Weiguang and Feng Ting.
Seeing him approaching, the two stopped arguing, and Feng Ting smiled at Liu Ben embarrassedly.
Before they could say anything, Liu Ben spoke first: "Brother Zhao, I must raise this cow, the sooner the better."
Seeing that Zhao Weiguang was still trying to persuade him, Liu Ben continued, "But I really don't have the experience, and I don't have that much time to manage it, so I hope that after I buy the cows, I can hire you to work for me."
Zhao Weiguang and Feng Ting were both stunned by his suggestion. They had never thought that there was such a solution.
Feng Ting was the first to react and looked at Zhao Weiguang in surprise.
Zhao Weiguang was stunned for a long time before he could organize his words. He said awkwardly, "Well, I might not be able to do it alone. There is still a lot of work to do on the cattle farm. I can only manage it with my wife's help."
Feng Ting hurriedly said, "I can go and help."
Zhao Weiguang stopped her: "You can't. You are not in good health to begin with. You can't continue to be so tired."
This is also the reason why he is not going to persevere.
Feng Ting opened her mouth but said nothing.
Liu Ben looked at the affectionate couple, coughed, and then said, "I think raising cattle isn't that difficult. All you have to do is train them well."
Zhao Weiguang looked at Liu Ben disapprovingly. "It might seem like nothing, but these cows don't understand human language. It's normal for them to get dirty and sick. They also like to run around. Sometimes they can't tell you if they're uncomfortable. It's really not easy."
Liu Ben thought for a moment and then confided, "Actually, I've had a special ability since I was a kid."
"Ah?" Zhao Weiguang and Feng Ting looked at him, confused, not knowing why he suddenly changed the subject.
Liu Ben once again said what no one believed: "I can communicate with cows and make them listen to me."
Zhao Weiguang and Feng Ting's eyes became strange.
Liu Ben didn't care about their expressions as if they were looking at him like a fool, because this was not the Liu family, they had cows.
He can definitely prove himself.
The author has something to say:
Some things seem simple and easy to understand, but there are many important things behind them that are not revealed.
Thank you to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution for me~
I don't buy Nanbei irrigation often, so I bought a bottle of Wangzai milk (～￣▽￣)→
