I run a farm, what the heck is this post-apocalyptic farm owner system?

Police officer Wu Jun looked at Zhu Yi, who was mingling with the chickens on the farm.

He wanted to say something, but hesitated and ultimately didn't say it.

He wanted to ask, how could Zhu Er, who lives deep in the mountains, appear at a farm at the foot of the mountain?

But Wu Jun knew there was no answer to this question, so he didn't ask it.

There were two people from the Forestry Bureau standing nearby. Xu Ran recognized one of the young men as Wu Fei, a member of the previous expedition team.

Wu Fei was very happy to arrive at the farm.

"Xu Ran, it's been a long time. I haven't seen you since the last inspection."

"That's amazing! The farm not only has pandas, but also crested ibis!"

"I heard it was your farm, so I came all the way here."

"It's very difficult to see Zhu Er nowadays."

Xu Ran replied with a smile:

"I guess this Zhu'er got lost. He looks like he just came of age recently, and then he followed my rooster."

"It might be a rooster's companion."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the distance.

It's clear that Zhu Er stayed right next to the rooster and didn't go anywhere else.

Wu Fei's gaze fell on the rooster, a hint of shock in his eyes. "What breed of rooster is this? It's so beautiful! Its feathers even shimmer with gold, so gorgeous!"

The rooster is indeed beautiful.

Its feathers have a particularly beautiful color combination. The chest area is a mix of gold and red, gradually changing from orange-red to golden yellow; the back feathers transition from brown to dark green, and also have a faint blue luster as the angle changes, like colorful satin.

The rooster's comb is bright red, its beak is lemon yellow, and its eyes are very bright, making it look strong.

The more colorful and attractive the male bird, the better it is; otherwise, all the hens on the farm would be interested in it.

Xu Ran didn't even dare to let it wander around Nanshan Village.

If I go out for a stroll, I wonder how many little hens I'll bring back.

It will be troublesome if the villagers come looking for us then.

So we still have to keep it hidden.

It's somewhat similar to boy band members and their fervent fans.

She should tone down her looks a bit.

"Hmm, this rooster is quite beautiful. I specially picked it out to keep as a pet."

"This guy is formidable; even eagles wouldn't dare mess with him."

Xu Ran nodded, still smiling easily.

Wu Jun walked over and asked Wu Fei:

"What should we do in this situation? Release the crow back into the mountains?"

"We'll have to go to the Zhu'er Nature Reserve."

Wu Fei nodded. "That's the rule. If a Class I protected animal appears in a farmer's home, it must be released back into the wild."

"I'll report it to the director first, and then I'll release it."

Hearing what the two were saying, Xu Ran didn't say anything more.

Things must be done according to the rules. In a society governed by the rule of law, Xu Ran always abides by the rules.

He turned his head and looked to the side.

Little Gray and Little Yellow Ox are both here.

But we didn't see any wild boars.

The wild boar knew that the arrival of the police and forestry officials meant trouble, and it sensed something was off about their gazes, so it hid early on.

The wild boar only returned after the police left.

I'm just afraid that these people will send it away too.

Next, two forestry bureau officers, working with the police, attempted to apprehend Zhu Yi.

This scene is quite interesting.

Like an eagle catching a chick.

However, now it's the police arresting Zhu Yi.

This scene terrified Xu Ran's hens, who scattered in all directions in a panic.

It vividly and figuratively illustrates an idiom:

作鸟兽散

However, the police did not chase after them. After the hen ran away, she calmly started looking for food again.

Xu Ran took out a handful of roasted sunflower seeds from his pocket and ate them while watching the commotion.

He had absolutely no intention of helping.

After all, Zhu Yi didn't listen to him.

Wu Fei, Wu Jun, and the others approached Zhu Yi.

Zhu Ai realized that these people were attacking him, so he suddenly flapped his wings and flew away, leaving the farm in the astonished gazes of the crowd.

It seemed to be saying:

You little brat, I can fly.

The people from the forestry bureau and the police station looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What do we do?"

"I can't catch it!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Fei thought for a moment and said:

"Now that Zhu Ai has flown away, everything is fine. We can consider our mission accomplished."

Everyone agreed with his point, so they walked back together.

When they returned, they saw a white figure flapping its wings in the distance, and it had actually flown back!

It was that red pheasant!

"Holy crap!" Wu Fei exclaimed as he saw Zhu Er return, turning to Xu Ran and unable to resist complaining, "Is it playing a trick on me?"

Xu Ran ate a melon seed and replied:

"Don't look at me, I'm not familiar with this Zhu'er, I'm just here to watch the show."

Wu Fei lost his temper.

What should I do?

We can't exactly use a tranquilizer gun!

It hasn't come to that.

"I'll report to the director. There's really no other way in this situation, so let Zhu Ai stay here."

"We'll just come and check on it regularly."

"Moreover, Zhu Yi did not cause any economic losses, so the impact should be minimal."

Wu Fei was somewhat helpless.

That was the only way things could be done in the end.

"If you ask me, since you have so many protected animals here, why don't you ask the Forestry Bureau to give the farm the function of an animal protection center? That way, you can also rescue and protect wild animals."

Wu Fei and Xu Ran chatted casually.

The so-called rescue and protection is actually similar to animal husbandry, which is simply reasonable and legal animal husbandry.

"Is there any subsidy? We can't work for nothing!"

Xu Ran responded.

"Of course there is, and we can't let you waste your money."

"However, the farm's current environment does not meet the standards for establishing a conservation center. If it is developed into a farm park in the future, it might be able to meet the standards."

Wu Fei continued.

"Okay, there's a chance."

Xu Ran agreed.

Then, the people from the forestry bureau and the police station looked at Zhu Yi for a while before driving away.

As soon as their car left, the little wild boar came running over, grunting and squealing. It even ran to the farm gate to watch them go before running back home with a sigh.

It's quite remarkable that wild boars are this intelligent.

Xu Ran's farm is now very famous, and everyone in the surrounding area knows him.

In addition, he has some online fame, so he has a lot of followers.

Not long after the people from the forestry bureau and the police station left, the village party secretary made a special trip to see Xu Ran.

It's all for the sake of the village's agricultural products.

The town is developing a tourist street and wants to promote local specialty agricultural products. There's a shop in Nanshan Village, which presents a great opportunity.

The shop was a large shop, the kind that required employees.

Moreover, this is a long-term business, not something that lasts for a few days, but rather for years.

This is equivalent to making plans and preparations in advance.

You can definitely make money by leveraging tourist traffic.

It's a benefit provided by the town to the village.

After thinking it over, the village party secretary decided it was better to go and find Xu Ran.

"Secretary, my farm currently only grows tomatoes and wheat. The tomato contracts have all been signed and need to be sold. Wheat is available everywhere, isn't it? It's also not suitable for brewing wine."

Xu Ran said to the village party secretary.

"I know, I didn't mean to use you for anything, you all seem to have misunderstood me."

"I was just wondering if you have any ideas since your farm is doing so well."

"It's about bringing everyone together to do something and make some money."

"Our village is too poor. It's good that everyone can have a way to make a living."

The village party secretary sighed and said.

Mountain villages are generally quite poor.

Because being in the mountains often means inconvenient transportation.

We definitely need to seize this opportunity now that we have it.

But Xu Ran knew that he couldn't talk about such things carelessly. A small favor could be appreciated, but a large one could breed resentment. If something went wrong, it would be difficult for him to survive in Nanshan Village.

"I would like to help everyone, but I really don't know what I can do for you."

"I'm not at that level."

Xu Ran said very sincerely.

He's mostly managing his own farm now; he doesn't have much money to mobilize a whole village.

"Okay, I'll think about it some more. You can tell me if you have any ideas."

"If all else fails, I can lease that shop to you."

The village party secretary then made another suggestion.

"No! Secretary, you're digging a hole for me! If the villagers find out, they'll hate me to death. They'll think I'm robbing them, and who knows what they'll say about me!"

Xu Ran was startled. This couldn't be done. He had his own sales channels and didn't need the shop. It was better not to cause trouble.

Hearing him say that, the village secretary nodded and then walked away with his hands behind his back.

Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief; he always sought stability in his work.

This is a hot potato that's not easy to handle.
