Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 102: It’s a waste of time, but it feels great!

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: It’s a waste of time, but it feels great!

Four college students huffed and puffed for two hours.

They were racing the tractor across the barren land, looking extremely excited.

It was the feeling of freedom.

After one round of tilling, they were not yet satisfied and even wanted to till another round.

Xu Yang naturally agreed.

Because the more times the land was rotary tilled, the looser the soil would be, and the wild grass in the soil would be destroyed, making it easier to clear the weeds.

The group set off to till the land again.

Xu Yang just sat on the side and watched.

After catching a mouse, the Tabby Cat ran off, who knows where to.

Considering he was still live streaming, Xu Yang called over the dogs, ready to train them.

Dogs need to be trained more to develop their good character.

If you let them grow up without training, who knows what their temperament would be like.

"We’re about to enter the rainy season, and I figure there will be a few days when we can’t go into the mountains."

"After the rain, we’ll go back into the mountains for a look, as autumn approaches, more mountain goods start to become available."

"In summer it’s more about foraging herbs and ginseng, in autumn it’s more about wild fruits, like wild walnuts and the like."

"A few trips into the mountains could also make us some money."

After training the two puppies, Xu Yang started explaining to the viewers.

Hearing him say this, everyone was looking forward to it.

Currently, Xu Yang’s live streaming content was mainly about two things: everyday farm life and going into the mountains for Mountain Rushing.

Every Mountain Rushing session drew a lot of viewers.

The unknown and danger of the forest were more thrilling, full of mystery, attracting more people.

It wasn’t until noon that the four college students returned on their tractor.

"Farmer, we’ve finished tilling the field, your tractor is really easy to use!"

Wu Kai praised.

"Indeed, it’s convenient. Just for these few acres of land, without a tractor, it would take two days of manual labor, and it would be extremely tiring."

Another college student also exclaimed with admiration.

Xu Yang passed over a few bottles of ice-cold mineral water, smiling and saying,

"You’ve worked hard, farming can be tiring, but sometimes it can’t be helped."

"Having a tractor does make it easier."

The group chatted idly while drinking water.

"Farmer, what are you preparing to plant? Grass again?"

College student Liu Wu asked curiously.

"I’m planning to plant some potatoes; autumn potatoes just need to be planted at this time, it’s just right."

Xu Yang replied.

"Potatoes are good, and they’re quick to harvest."

"How come I never thought of planting potatoes!"

"Though the peanuts I’ve planted should be no problem, too."

Wu Kai chimed in excitedly on one side.

There were too many crops that could be planted, and the students were still at the stage where planting anything would earn them points, mainly learning how to cultivate the land.

In the future, they could enter the research stage, figuring out how to breed new varieties.

As a farmer specialized in cultivation, Xu Yang’s planting level naturally goes without saying.

Therefore, it was interesting for everyone to discuss these topics together.

As noon approached and the four students had to go back for lunch, Xu Yang invited them to eat at the farm, and all four did not decline.

Lunch at the farm was simple: pork stewed with glass noodles.

A local specialty.

Aunt Zhang’s cooking skills were great. The dish, delicious and particularly fragrant when eaten with rice, was a hit.

In the afternoon, Xu Yang got busy planting potatoes.

Potato seeds were just pieces of cut potatoes, but they needed to be sprouting potatoes, and one also needed to distinguish between top sprouts and bottom sprouts to decide whether to cut them into large pieces or small ones.

The potato pieces rewarded by the system were already cut, so Xu Yang didn’t need to do it himself.

Xu Yang directly took the tractor, set the seeding speed of the planter, and planted all the potatoes in the field.

Their latitude was about the same as Siberia’s.

Planting potatoes in Siberia was an old joke, though the climate there is even harsher, with winters approaching negative seventy degrees Celsius.

For Xu Yang, things were more relaxed.

Once the potatoes were planted, as the first rain approached, most of the work on the farm was pretty much done.

Taking advantage of the time before the rain, Xu Yang went into the mountains alone once more, taking the two leopards panning for gold with him.

He used up all his Treasure Compass attempts and brought back five gold grains.

Before the torrential rain arrived, as if sensing the impending rain, Little Leopard ran to the farm for shelter.

The rain outside was too heavy, and the little fella didn’t want to get wet.

Once it started raining, going days without food, cold and hungry.

The female leopard had already adapted to the harsh natural environment, preferring the wilderness and never approaching human areas.

So, the female leopard just watched from a distance outside the farm.

Once she was sure Little Leopard had seen Xu Yang, she turned and headed into the forest.

Xu Yang brought the little guy back to his yard, bathed it, fed it milk and looked after it completely.

Little Black greeted Little Leopard excitedly, and then the two started jumping around and playfully roughhousing.

In fact, Little Black had a huge influence on Little Leopard. Some of Little Leopard’s character traits came from Little Black’s influence.

Just like the famous Black Panther Luna from the internet, that leopard grew up with dogs and thus had clear and foolish eyes, with a touch of goofiness.

Not a hint of ferocity.

Little Leopard was similar, always displaying an innocent and carefree expression.

Cute and lovely.

Soon, the downpour began.

Xu Yang sat under the eaves, brought out the tea set, brewed a pot of tea, and enjoyed the rain while sipping tea.

Quite the connoisseur.

At that moment, the two frolicking animals got too rowdy and ran over, not paying attention, they bumped into the table, tipping over the teacup, and the tea immediately spilled all over the table.

"Hm?"

Xu Yang’s brow furrowed.

Little Black was very sensible, knowing he had done something wrong, his ears immediately pressed against his head, showing a look of grievance, and his eyes carefully sized up Xu Yang.

Seeing Little Black like this, the little leopard also stopped, sitting squat on the ground, at a loss.

The Maquan noticed the scene and happily ran over, standing proudly beside them, waiting to see Xu Yang scold Little Black.

Xu Yang knew that he still needed to teach a lesson, so he gently patted Little Black on the head.

"Be more careful when you’re playing."

"Okay, it’s fine now, stop pretending," Xu Yang said with a smile.

As soon as his words ended, Little Black instantly recovered his smile, and his little tail joyfully wagged again.

This guy’s main act was to acknowledge mistakes positively, but I just won’t change.

However, after being scolded a few times, he would become somewhat restrained.

Life on rainy days was quite comfortable.

Besides taking care of the greenhouse, there were completely no farm chores to do.

This was also thanks to the fact that he had finished all the work in advance.

The remaining time was to stay in the room playing games, playing with the phone, and idling away the time.

Although this was wasting time, it was very enjoyable.

Until three days later.

The rain stopped and started intermittently, and now it had finally stopped completely.

The sun shone down, illuminating the Changbai Mountain that had been washed clean by the rain.

The farm appeared moist.

Some areas still had accumulations of rainwater.

Fortunately, the living area was paved with concrete roads, and there was also a main road running through the center of the farm that hadn’t been invaded by water.

Otherwise, it would be muddy everywhere.

Xu Yang put on rain boots and went outside to check on the farm.

Just a few days had passed, and the area where grass was planted was already showing a hazy green color.

The grass was growing quickly.

This variety of grass was excellent, with no worries about sales.

Especially if harvested last in winter, the price was even higher.

The potatoes had not sprouted yet, usually taking more than 15 days.

The advantage of this crop was that it didn’t require too much management, just keeping the temperature and moisture normal.

If even Siberia, such a cold region, could grow them, then potatoes were indeed very hardy.

"Not bad, this plot of land is slightly higher, and it even has ridges, so it isn’t afraid of being flooded," Xu Yang said, relievingly.

"The seedlings are all alive."

Xu Yang heaved a sigh of relief.

Dealing with agriculture is fearing that a natural disaster may come and kill the crops in an instant, similar to the livestock industry.

Then he went to check on the chickens, ducks, and geese, all normal.

The pigs as well, each one fat and strong, particularly voracious.

At this time, Xu Yang noticed the female leopard appeared at the far end of the farm, in the direction of the foothills.

He knew the female leopard had come for the little leopard.

Big Flower was very responsible, and she would always take care of Xiao Hua until she reached adulthood, watching over her during this period.

A leopard’s adulthood is one year old, which meant around March of next year.

"Xiao Hua!"

"Xiao Hua!" Xu Yang called out twice.

The little leopard immediately ran over happily.

"Your mom is here."

"Go to the forest, that’s where you should live," Xu Yang said to the little guy.

When Xiao Hua saw the female leopard, she immediately happily squeezed under the fence and ran toward the direction of the female leopard.

The female leopard met her, sniffed her scent to confirm that her condition was all good, and then led the little fella into the woods together.

Xu Yang watched as they went further away, then started to busy himself with his own things again.

As soon as the weather cleared up, there was much more to do.

There was pest and weed control to do, chickens and ducks to feed.

And he had to think about live streaming.

But what needed to be done still had to be done.

The situation with the greenhouses was good, Li Shan checked them every day, the four greenhouses were cared for in an orderly manner.

Xu Yang didn’t need to worry too much about them.

Successful planting depends on whether one puts their heart into it. As long as you’re diligent and devoted, the crops can be cultivated very well.

Xu Yang was responsible for selecting seeds and managing the environment; the staff took care of the maintenance, and everything was just right.

Xu Yang made a round, everything was normal, all miscellaneous tasks, and no troublesome matters.

That was for the best.

At this moment, two Little Fatties flew over, landing in front of Xu Yang and chirped twice.

Xu Yang understood they wanted a place to perch.

So he stretched out his hand and caught the two little creatures.

If birds are close to people, they are still very clingy.

They love standing on people’s arms or hands.

The two Little Fatties felt soft and were adorable to the touch.

With one in each hand, Xu Yang looked like he was holding two big white walnuts.

These two little fellows were especially light in weight; they only looked fat, it was all fluff, the weight of a single Little Fatty was about the same as two coins.

Xu Yang strolled around the farm with the two little creatures in his hands.

They were not afraid at all and seemed to enjoy the sensation of being in Xu Yang’s hands.

Xu Yang looked into the direction of the mountains.

After the rain, the mountain products grew fast, and it was time to get ready and head into the mountains.
