My 1995 Small Farm.

These words made Chen Ling a little unable to hold back.

He's always been the one to leave things to others, so why would someone dump the work on him and just sit back and do nothing?
This guy, he's turned it around.

"Brother Hua, I could hear your scheme all over the other side of the forest farm."

Chen Ling was speechless: "So, after I healed your mastiff, I'm also responsible for training it?"

Zhang Lihua chuckled, not at all embarrassed: "It's because you're an expert, A-Ling. Look at you, you can raise tigers and leopards with ease, and everything you raise becomes strong and healthy. I trust you with the dog."

"Actually, I also really love dogs, and I can even go to the bar in the morning, but I just don't have your talent."

"Okay, as you said, I've become a professional childcare provider."

Chen Ling shook his head and sighed, but a smile remained on his face.

He knew, of course, that Zhang Lihua was expressing her determination.

Just like Liang Yuemin, Sun Yanhong, and Han Chuang back then, they entrusted everything to me.

They all use the "Fugui Mountain Villa" signboard.

This kind of cooperation is more free and spontaneous.

Just then, a dog barking came from the east end of the dog farm.

Approaching from afar, their imposing presence was overwhelming.

Chen Ling looked up and laughed.

Then they saw Erhei leading a pack of dogs, marching in this direction in a grand procession.

Erhei walked at the front, his steps steady, head held high, and eyes serious, looking just like a leader on an inspection tour.

Several adult Kunming dogs followed behind, each one plump and strong, their steps neat and orderly, like well-trained soldiers, lined up behind Erhei.

Further on, there was a group of half-grown puppies, running and stumbling along, barking in their babyish voices.

But they all tried their best to keep up with the group and dared not fall behind.

Seeing this, the lynx laughed: "Oh, it's the dog-headed secretary coming to keep watch!"

Erhei is released every evening to let the dogs roam freely.

Zhang Lihua had never seen anything like this before and looked completely bewildered: "What? The dog-like Party Secretary?"

"Brother Hua, you don't know."

Lynx explained with a smile: "Erhei is Heiwa's eldest son. I don't know if he learned it from Heiwa Xiaojin or if he was born with this kind of ability. He has great leadership skills and loves to meddle in other people's business."

"If a chicken in the village runs out of its coop, it will chase it back. If a child plays in the water too close, it will bark and drive them to the shore. If a stranger comes to visit, it will keep an eye on them until the owner comes out before letting them go."

"Everyone in the village says, 'This isn't a dog, it's our village's dog chief, our dog Party Secretary!'"

Zhang Lihua was stunned.

There are dogs like this?
He had only heard the legendary story of the first sheepdog.

But I've never seen a dog like this used to manage village affairs before.

As they were talking, Erhei had already led the pack of dogs up to them.

"Wang Wang!"

Erhei is most affectionate when he sees Chen Ling, which is why he acts like a puppy.

Its eyes were bright and sparkling, its tongue was sticking out, and it was wagging its tail excitedly, then rubbing its head against his leg.

When it saw Chen Ling reach out to touch its head, it jumped up, raised its front paws and put them on him, panting excitedly as it looked at him.

It behaves just like any other dog when it sees its owner.

"Erhei, hurry up and give Brother Hua a performance," Shanmao said with a smile from the side.

Zhang Lihua left in a hurry last time and didn't stay at the dog farm for long.

Naturally, he wasn't very familiar with the dogs like Erhei.

In fact, his understanding of Heiwa Xiaojin was only superficial.

Many things are just hearsay; I don't know the details.

"Wang Wang!"

Erhei turned around and wagged its tail simply at the lynx.

Neither too enthusiastic nor too indifferent, just right.

This dog is intelligent and knows that the lynx is in charge of the dog farm on behalf of Chen Ling.

My attitude has always been to treat the lynx as a colleague.

This manifests as them not listening to the lynx much.

In other words, it will listen when it makes sense.

Unreasonable demands should be ignored.

Just like now, when the lynx said those words in front of Chen Ling, he only barked twice at the lynx; normally he would have ignored it.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ling smiled slightly and gently patted Erhei's big head again.

"Good Erhei, let's give them some face."

Erhei then licked Chen Ling's palm, turned around, and barked "Woof!"

The dogs immediately sat in a row, heads held high, eyes fixed straight ahead, looking as serious as if "the leader is inspecting the work".

"Wow, this is impressive!" Zhang Lihua exclaimed with amusement. "It really looks like the real deal."

Chen Ling carefully examined the dogs.

The leader was a black-backed, yellow-bellied Kunming dog, nearly 70 centimeters tall at the shoulder, with a robust frame and a calm gaze.

The one next to it was a gold-plated iron-plated bird with its ears standing straight up, constantly turning around, vigilantly observing its surroundings.

Further to the right is a light-colored yellow dog, slightly smaller in size, but with smooth muscle lines, clearly an agile type.

"Hmm, these are pretty good."

Chen Ling nodded: "Good appearance and steady temperament, it has the makings of a breeding dog."

Lynx laughed and said, "These dogs were picked out and gathered around Erhei, so they're all pretty good."

"Fugui, you don't know, Erhei has become quite good at picking dogs now."

"The more than ten puppies that were added last month, it sits there every day to watch them, to see which one is lively, which one is smart, and which one is steady."

"Finally, I selected these seven or eight to personally train and teach."

"Now, in the dog farm, apart from the veteran breeding dogs in my city, these are the ones that listen to it the most."

Chen Ling laughed and patted its head: "Okay, I'll take you back to the village for a while today, to change your environment and get some rest."

Erhei's eyes lit up immediately, and it barked excitedly, wagging its tail even more enthusiastically.

at this time.

The least stable of them all are the puppies in the pack.

The half-grown puppies sat obediently on the surface, but their eyes couldn't help but dart towards Chen Ling.

Seeing Erhei frolicking with Chen Ling, he wanted to come over but didn't dare.

Chen Ling chuckled and beckoned to them, "Come here."

The puppies all looked at Erhei, whimpering softly.

Erhei barked twice in response.

The next second, seven or eight furry little creatures rushed over and surrounded Chen Ling, their tails wagging like propellers and their tongues licking everywhere.

"Alright, alright, stop licking..."

Chen Ling squatted down and stroked their happy little heads, laughing uncontrollably.

Zhang Lihua, who was watching from the side, suddenly said, "Ah Ling, look at these puppies, they all look pretty good."

"Yes, they're all good."

Indeed, these puppies were born this summer, and their parents are the best breeding dogs in the kennel.

There are descendants of Heiwa, as well as various famous breeding dogs that Shanmao brought from the city.

The offspring that were born were all robust, with glossy fur and bright, intelligent eyes.

But right now...

A little yellow dog was holding onto Chen Ling's shoelace tightly and wouldn't let go, while another little spotted dog was intently nibbling on his wrist.

A chubby little black dog even climbed onto his shoulder, squatted there looking down at its companions with its little tongue lolling out, extremely excited.

"Not bad, not bad, as expected of the puppies Erhei picked out, they're all very excited." Chen Ling praised, "Then let's take these dogs back to the farm and let them live with Afu and Ashou for a while, and let Heiwa and Xiaojin take good care of them."

Zhang Lihua and Shanmao gasped in surprise: "Good heavens, letting Heiwa and Ashou take care of the puppies, what will they do when they grow up?"

"A dog raised by a tiger..."

"Yes, if word gets out, these dogs will probably fetch an astronomical price."

There are tigers, leopards, cows, sheep, and a flock of geese and swans at the farm.

Let them interact with these animals from a young age, broaden their horizons, and they will become bolder and more intelligent in the future.

It has greater plasticity.

Moreover, with Erhei leading the way, they can learn the rules well.

Erhei's personality makes him perfectly suited to be a master craftsman.

Chen Ling chuckled and patted Erhei's head: "Then it's settled. Take these little ones with you when you go back today, and you'll come back with them for a while too."

Erhei barked once and then turned to bark at the group of dogs behind him.

The adult dogs immediately turned around and led the other dogs back, maintaining their neat formation.

Only the few puppies remained, still running around Chen Ling happily.

After Erhei barked twice.

Only then did he obediently squat behind Erhei, looking at Chen Ling with longing eyes.

"Good heavens, they can actually understand what Erhei's cries mean..." Zhang Lihua was astonished.

“Definitely,” Chen Ling said with a smile. “Humans have human language, animals have animal language, and dogs also have their own way of communicating.”

Lynx clicked his tongue in admiration: "Our dog secretary not only manages people and dogs, but he also knows how to pick up promising dogs. He should quit working at the dog farm and go straight to the village committee as a cadre."

Everyone laughed again.

Chen Ling gave Zhang Lihua a few instructions about the Tibetan Mastiff's follow-up treatment, then took Erhei and the three puppies back home.

Afu and Ashou were already waiting at the entrance of the dog farm.

Ah Shou still seemed absent-minded, glancing back at the quarantine area every now and then, probably still thinking about Maya.

Ah Fu remained as calm as ever, and when he saw Chen Ling come out, he slowly followed.

But when Erhei approached with several puppies, Afu stopped in his tracks.

It looked down at the furry little creatures with curiosity in its eyes.

A little blue dog was seeing a tiger up close for the first time, and it was completely stunned.

Four short legs were rooted to the ground, the tail was tucked tightly between its legs, and the whole body was trembling.

The little black dog that climbed onto Chen Ling's shoulder was a bit bolder, but it hid behind Erhei, only peeking out with half its head.

Erhei remained calm. It looked up at Afu, wagged its tail, and continued walking forward.

Afu lowered his head and sniffed Erhei, then sniffed the puppies.

When the little green dog saw the tiger's nose approaching, it was so frightened that it howled and lay down on its back, exposing its belly.

The standard surrender posture.

Afu was stunned.

It had lived in the village for so long and had never seen such a timid little dog.

Big dogs are usually afraid of it, while small dogs are not.

Newborn puppies are not afraid of tigers.

I don't understand anything, so I'm not afraid.

It turned its head to look at Chen Ling, its eyes seeming to ask: What is this thing?

Chen Ling was overjoyed and squatted down to pat Afu's big head: "Don't scare them, this is a new little friend, you can help take care of him."

Afu seemed to understand but not quite, then looked down at the little blue dog lying on its back, stuck out its tongue, and licked its little belly.

The little blue dog trembled, but didn't flinch.

After a while, it noticed that the big cat didn't seem to bite, so it secretly opened one eye and looked at Afu.

Afu licked it again.

The little blue dog's tail began to wag slowly.

From clamping, to releasing, to shaking into a little windmill.

Then it rolled over, got up, and went to Afu's paws to sniff the huge tiger paws.

Afu let it smell it, and even gently moved its paw, as if teasing it.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei became bolder and crawled out from behind Er Hei, sniffing A Fu's hind legs.

There was also a small black and yellow dog that stayed close to Erhei, neither approaching nor showing any fear, just watching from a distance.

The remaining puppies were mostly following the crowd and watched from a distance.

"These individuals have different personalities."

Zhang Lihua observed from the side: "The little blue dog is timid but alert and has a strong sense of danger. The little black dog is bold and a bit cautious, but too curious. The black and yellow spotted dog is the most stable. I haven't been able to tell the others yet."

Chen Ling nodded: "That's perfect. It's good that these puppies have different personalities. Let's see how they grow up after being raised on the farm for a while."

The group headed towards the farm.

On the way, Ah Shou glanced back at the direction of the quarantine zone a few more times, and was only obediently followed after Ah Fu gave him a low growl.

By the time we got back to the farm, the sun was almost setting.

In the yard, Rui Rui and Xiao Ming were playing with Lightning and Thunder.

Two little clouded leopards chased a ball all over the yard. Wherever the ball rolled, they followed. They were incredibly fast, just like lightning.

Kang Kang and Lele sat on the veranda, and Wang Susu fed them rice cereal, one bite for each of them, their faces covered in it.

Little Iron Egg lay under the jujube tree, lazily gnawing on a big bone.

Wang Cunye was tidying up farm tools, while Gao Xiulan was busy in the kitchen, with wisps of smoke rising from the chimney.

As soon as Chen Ling entered the courtyard, Little Iron Egg immediately dropped its bones and rushed over wagging its tail.

Halfway there, he saw Erhei, immediately stopped, bared his teeth fiercely, and began to growl.

This behavior is really similar to that of a Golden Retriever.

There are no bad people in my eyes, but there are no good dogs either.

Upon seeing an unfamiliar dog, it barks and growls fiercely.

But when they see people, nothing happens.

"Alright, Tiedan, this is Erhei, also a member of the family, he arrived even earlier than you..."

Chen Ling patted Little Iron Egg's big head, telling it to go to the side first.

Erhei didn't bother with it.

Its eyes darted around to look at the place it once knew best, the home where it grew up.

"Oh, Erhei's back! Ah Ling, you finally decided to bring Erhei back..."

Soon, Wang Susu came over with a pleasant surprise.

When Erhei saw its mistress, it stuck out its tongue, grinned, and wagged its tail to greet her affectionately.

"Heihei, it's Erheihei!"

Rui Rui also rushed over, wiped the sweat from his face, and grinned as he ran up to pet him.

Erhei was naturally extremely enthusiastic towards its little master.

"Hehe, Erhei has gotten fat, his neck is so thick now, he must be eating well every day."

Rui Rui hugged Er Hei's thick neck and grinned foolishly.

Xiao Ming then led two little clouded leopards running over.

The chubby boy spotted the puppies immediately and exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, Uncle brought so many puppies again! We'll have new puppies to play with now. Can I get another one to keep my little white dog company?"

Chen Ling laughed and said, "Of course you can. We'll train two guard dogs for your dad to follow him around later."

Liang Yuemin is now a big boss, and he and Chen Ling are brothers, on the same side.

It's time to train him two fierce and loyal guard dogs. (End of Chapter)
