Chapter 396 Red Mark

"Shepherding is a very tiring job, especially since the weather on the grassland is not always sunny. Moreover, wolves often roam the grassland."

"In order to defend against wolves and find lost sheep in bad weather, herders usually raise a few mastiffs."

"The same is true of Liang Yuan's rise to wealth."

"Unlike other herders who treat mastiffs as family members, Liang Yuanfa likes to eat dog meat."

"Speaking of which, he eats dog meat because one time an old mastiff in his family fought with wolves in search of sheep. In the end, the sheep was rescued, but the old mastiff was seriously injured."

[Host, please don't say anything yet. Let me guess. Liang Yuanfa would not kill the old mastiff and eat its meat, right?]

[Don't, the old mastiff was clearly injured while looking for sheep. ]

Ji Chu sighed: "I know you don't want to hear this, but this is the fact. Liang Yuanfa had two friends come to his house at that time, and both of them like to eat dog meat."

"Seeing the old mastiff dragging its half-crippled body to bring the sheep back, the two men admired the old mastiff's spirituality, but it was a pity to just die and bury it like this."

Bao Cheng said angrily: "Mastiffs are good friends of us herdsmen. Without mastiffs to watch over the cattle and sheep, who knows how many of them will be eaten by wolves. If my friends dare to target my mastiffs, I will beat them out with a stick!"

[After a long time of keeping a dog, one can develop feelings for it. What was Liang Yuanfa thinking? He actually ate his good helper.]

Ji Chu sarcastically said, "To Liang Yuanfa, a dog is always a dog. Moreover, he had always eaten cattle and sheep on the grassland and had never tasted dog meat. So, at the instigation of his friends, he killed and skinned the severely injured old mastiff and made a dish to eat."

"Liang Yuanfa tried dog meat for the first time. He had eaten enough beef and mutton, and after he experienced the deliciousness of dog meat, he couldn't stop eating it."

"He is very particular about the quality of dog meat. Dogs that are too small are not tasty, and dogs that are too old are very tough. Only young mastiffs that often run on the grasslands have the most solid meat."

"Whenever Liang Yuan felt greedy, he would pick a mature mastiff and kill it."

"At the worst time, Liang Yuanfa would eat almost a whole mastiff every week."

"Because of his lack of self-control, the mastiffs he kept were cut off, leaving only old mastiffs that were exhausted and puppies that could not yet herd sheep."

"When the storm hit the grassland, only his family lost 30 sheep."

[Retribution, even working dogs eat, he deserves to lose the sheep! ]

Ji Chu continued, "The villagers were also quite dissatisfied with Liang Yuanfa's eating of the mastiff, so when his sheep were reduced, others said behind his back that he was being punished, and told his family to stay away from him."

"Liang Yuanfa is not a very open-minded person. After being pointed at for a long time, he became very paranoid."

"Especially in the case of the lost sheep, he did not think it was because he did not have enough mastiffs, but that someone stole his sheep."

"This involves what I mentioned earlier, the conflict between him and another family of shepherds."

"Because Mr. Bao, your place is a village, not like the real prairie, where every household is dozens of kilometers apart."

"When the sheep are accidentally mixed together, each family will use paint to mark their own sheep in order to distinguish them."

"Liang Yuanfa's family is located in the east end of the village. His family's sign is red. There is a family in the west end of the village, which is far away from the east end of the village. Their sign is also red."

"So Liang Yuanfa suspected that his family took advantage of the heavy rain to steal his sheep."

Bao Cheng frowned: "Anchor, does Liang Yuanfa think we are all fools?"

【Why do you say that? 】

Bao Cheng explained: "Although we call it a village, it is actually a gathering place for herdsmen. This village may be larger than a town in other places. It takes 20 minutes to ride a horse from the east end to the west end."

"There are more than 30 sheep, spanning the entire village. How could anyone not see them?"

Ji Chu smiled and said, "Yes, so when Liang Yuanfa said that someone stole his sheep, he was immediately ridiculed by everyone."

"The suspected herder even called Liang Yuanfa and others to his home and asked him to see the markings of all the sheep."

“Although both families have red labels, the red paint on all of his sheep has uniformly faded to a light red, which is somewhat different from the bright red that Liang Yuan made his fortune with.”

"Now, Liang Yuanfa is being ridiculed even more in the village."

"And without the mastiff, he is no longer able to herd sheep. People know that he eats dog meat, so they are unwilling to give him their newborn puppies."

"Over time, Liang Yuanfa stopped herding sheep and switched to a slaughterhouse, becoming a professional cattle and sheep butcher."

"In fact, Liang Yuanfa's career change was quite successful. As he had a special understanding of cattle and sheep, he was very professional in slaughtering sheep. He could stab the heart from the neck without a drop of blood flowing out. Therefore, he became a team leader."

"But when people get distracted, they are more likely to get into trouble."

"A few days ago, he was drunk and misread the message sent by his leader, so he ordered his men to slaughter all the more than 300 sheep that had just been delivered to the slaughterhouse."

"The meat from the slaughterhouse is sent to other places every day. There are instructions from above on how much to kill and how little to kill."

"More than 300 heads is really a bit too much for their factory."

"One of his subordinates asked him if he had made a mistake, but Liang Yuanfa scolded him. His subordinates had no choice but to continue working."

"By the time the leaders realized something was wrong, all 300 sheep had been slaughtered."

"However, the amount needed outside is limited. It's summer now, and the mutton that can't be sold can only be frozen."

"But there is a huge price difference between frozen meat and fresh meat. The slaughterhouse lost hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"A mistake that shouldn't have happened happened. Liang Yuanfa definitely couldn't escape. Although the slaughterhouse didn't ask him to pay compensation, it also removed him from his position as team leader."

"Liang Yuanfa couldn't bear such a blow, and he resigned from the slaughterhouse the next day."

"Of course, this resignation is just a pretense. In fact, his real intention is to hope that the leader can retain him."

"However, what he didn't expect was that the leader approved it within seconds."

"This caused Liang Yuanfa to have great doubts about himself, and the double blow made him drink more recklessly."

"Under the paralysis of alcohol, Liang Yuanfa began to figure out how he got to where he is today."

"After some investigation, he blamed the 30 sheep that were lost that year."

"He was thinking, if he hadn't lost those sheep, he wouldn't have gone to the slaughterhouse, and if he hadn't gone to the slaughterhouse, this wouldn't have happened."

"As he was carrying a bottle of wine and preparing to return home, he happened to see Mr. Bao and his wife herding sheep."
