Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 162 - 161: Little Leopard Officially Moves into the Farm!

Chapter 162: Chapter 161: Little Leopard Officially Moves into the Farm!

The next day, Xu Yang contacted the construction team to start building a simple garage on a clearing at the entrance of the farm.

The employees all came out to check on the situation and even helped with the work.

"Farmer, what are we building here?"

Wang Wu asked curiously.

The other two were also curious.

"Building a garage, I’ve bought a car, it will be parked here in the future."

"The outside is full of wind and sand, not suitable for parking a private car."

Xu Yang responded cheerfully.

"Bought a car? You must be the boss, that’s impressive!"

"Farmer, I have something to report, I’m also planning to buy a private car, I’ll park it outside usually, and if there’s nothing in the evenings, I’ll go back to town."

At this time, Ma Wen reported to Xu Yang.

Everyone has their lives to live, and they can’t be at the farm every day, they definitely need to go back home to see their kids and such.

Wang Wu and Li Shan were single, had nothing much going on, thus didn’t need this.

"No problem, just be safe, go home when you need to."

"As the farm continues to grow, I might hire more employees in the future, by then we’ll establish a duty rotation system, taking turns to stay here."

Under Xu Yang’s planning, the farm would gradually grow, and he would eventually need to hire more people, definitely requiring standardized management.

For him, managing personnel was also very important.

But now, with just four people, there wasn’t much need to manage, everyone just needed to do their own tasks well.

The workers built very quickly, it only took half a day, and a garage was built.

The rectangular storehouse didn’t need much design, just stacking bricks and applying cement was enough.

In the afternoon, Xu Yang went to the Audi 4S store to pick up his car.

An A6 did seem a bit old-fashioned, full of a business aura, might not suit a young person, but it was just right for a boss.

Now he really had the air of a boss!

As for the money for the car, Xu Yang told those around him that he earned it from live-streaming, and he told his online followers that he earned it from running the farm, anyway, there was always a story to tell.

In the future, going out on business would carry more prestige; people really respect that.

The vehicle drove back to the farm, and the employees were also stunned by the brand-new vehicle.

"Wow, an Audi A6, the boss’s move is quite something!"

"Was worried we wouldn’t make money at the farm, seems I worried too much, our boss is a tough guy!"

"How much is this car worth, it really looks beautiful."

The three immediately gathered around, full of envy.

The boss is really the boss.

His moves were extraordinary.

Xu Yang was rather low-key, parked the car in the garage, and acted as if nothing had happened.

A car is just a tool, were it not necessary for business, he had considered selling it and buying a cheaper one to make some profit.

"Going forward, it’ll be needed for business, especially for Blueberry and Annona."

"These two fruits aren’t easy to sell in a small market, I’ll need to run to the market myself, driving the car as well."

"Before, I either took taxis or used Didi, which was too shabby, people would unconsciously try to lowball the price when they saw me arrive by cab."

Xu Yang looked at the car in the garage, calmly saying.

Although the car felt a bit old-fashioned, it was still nice to drive, so driving it was good too.

Crucially, when he met with fruit dealers, seeing him drive up in his own car would also make them recognize his capability more.

Definitely better than arriving by taxi.

Farm life continued as always, relaxed and leisurely.

But soon, life on the farm was about to become buzzing.

An "Ultimate Trump" was on its way, soon to arrive.

Back Mountain Forest.

By late autumn, the small animals felt that the weather was getting cold, lessened their activities, increasing the Leopard’s difficulty in hunting.

Big Leopard had managed to catch two rabbits today, but the Little Leopard ate one and a half of them.

A few days ago, they caught an Elk, and again, it was the Little Leopard who ate more.

And yet, the Little Leopard had not learned any hunting skills up to now.

Didn’t even think about hunting.

Purely relying on its mother.

With the weather turning colder by the day and winter approaching with its snow covering everything, food would become harder to find.

How to feed such a big son?

Big Leopard, while raising Little Leopard, ultimately made this decision.

"Go find your stepfather, he has everything to eat."

"Following him, you can also survive."

Thinking this, Big Leopard called out and led Little Leopard towards the edge of the forest.

They walked all the way to the outskirts of Xu Yang’s farm.

Little Leopard saw the farm and started smiling happily.

It knew Xu Yang lived here.

The female leopard signaled the Little Leopard to go forward, to find Xu Yang.

The little guy immediately ran happily toward the direction of the farm.

The animals on the farm saw this scene and all ran back in shock.

Wang Wu had just come out to drive the chickens back into their coop and saw a leopard walking towards him from a distance.

Wang Wu was so scared that he stepped back suddenly and almost fell to the ground.

He didn’t recognize which leopard it was, only thought that a leopard had run out from the mountain.

The usual logic for ordinary people, when facing a leopard bare-handed, was to run away.

"Ah!"

"Ah!!"

"Ah!!!"

"There’s a leopard!"

Wang Wu, terrified, ran while shouting, his voice a bit hoarse.

The people on the farm heard his tumult.

Xu Yang was the first to run out to see.

A leopard?

Could it be the one he was raising?

Xu Yang ran outside, and sure enough, it was indeed the Little Leopard he was raising.

"Little Hua?"

"Haven’t seen you for a while, how come you’re visiting?"

Xu Yang was slightly surprised.

Although Xiao Hua was not a hunter, her physical condition was top-notch, and she was agile.

He only saw her speed up and, when she approached the farm’s fence, she leapt and deftly jumped over the more than one-meter-high fence.

The agility and lightness unique to felines were fully embodied in her.

She ran up to Xu Yang and immediately began to meow happily.

"Why are you here? It’s not raining or snowing."

Xu Yang felt quite surprised.

After all, the little leopard hadn’t visited the farm for a long time, having come only when it rained previously.

The farm’s employees watched from a distance, all a bit nervous.

Only with close contact could one feel the oppressive presence of a large feline.

With this creature nearby, who wouldn’t be afraid of getting scratched by it?

"Is that the leopard raised by the farmer?"

Ma Wen asked with a bit of nervousness.

"It’s pretty robust!"

Wang Wu was both scared and excited.

Li Shan, who had seen this leopard before, said calmly, "That leopard has been here twice; it only gets close to Brother Yang, we’ll be fine if we don’t provoke it."

"Just pretend you didn’t see it."

Hearing his words, Wang Wu immediately retorted, "How can you pretend not to see such a big leopard?"

"I can pretend not to see it, but can it pretend not to see me?"

Li Shan nodded, "Don’t worry, that leopard won’t bother you."

At this moment, Xu Yang was happily watching the little leopard, even thinking about feeding it a couple of bottles of sheep’s milk.

He didn’t know why the leopard was here, so he looked into the distance.

Big Leopard was standing not far away, looking at Xu Yang, this time his gaze lingering a bit more.

Xu Yang, having spent a lot of time with these two leopards, could sense their emotions.

He felt that Big Flower was somewhat off this time.

It seemed like a long goodbye was coming.

"Big Flower, are you really entrusting her to me?"

Xu Yang asked in the direction of the big leopard.

Big Flower simply continued to look quietly at Xu Yang.

The weather was getting colder, and winter was approaching, which was indeed a calamity for animals.

Just surviving was a challenge.

Let alone taking care of such a big leopard.

Xu Yang understood what Big Flower meant, and he too was somewhat astonished.

It really happened!

Xiao Hua was indeed entrusted to his care.

But the matter was not so easy to handle.

After all, it was illegal to keep leopards in the country.

This matter still needed coordination with the police and Forestry Bureau.

Xu Yang had once obtained a permit for the protection of wild animals, which fortunately provided him the possibility to protect the little leopard.

The justification was "Adult wild leopard, staying at farm and not leaving, currently presents no danger to humans or livestock; farm supervision and management is permissible."

The female leopard looked at the little leopard for a while longer, and then, without turning back, slowly walked away.

This sense of freedom!

She completely let go of her burdens and then went into the forest to face the cold winter alone.

The little leopard was moved, looking in the direction of the female leopard.

It called out softly twice, looking a bit sad.

Leopards are naturally solitary animals, aside from parenting, most of the leopards seen are alone.

Xiao Hua was an exception.

"You’ll stay with me for now; the farm will take care of you."

"But you still need to get familiar with the forest soon."

"You can rely on your parents, but you have to grow up eventually."

Xu Yang patted Xiao Hua’s head.

This guy’s big eyes were clear and silly, looking adorably cute.

Xu Yang remembered the first times, when this guy would follow him home, giving him quite a scare.

Back then, he was just a little one.

Now, he’s already grown into such a big leopard.

But that adorable quality hasn’t changed.

He was still very silly looking.

As the leopard followed Xu Yang into the farm, the staff and other little fellows were curiously watching.

Only Xiao Hei wasn’t afraid of Xiao Hua and even actively came over to play with her.

They knew each other from when they were little.

Xiao Hei lunged at Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua agilely dodged and pounced, pinning Xiao Hei to the ground.

Xiao Hei was clearly stunned.

What happened?

Wasn’t it me who used to pin down this big spotted cat?

How did it get reversed?

The two used to be very small, and Xiao Hua, being timid, was bullied.

Now that she has grown bigger, and being more agile than Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei wasn’t her match at all.

The two playfully wrestled together, and Xiao Hua visibly happy.

However, other animals were still frightened, such as the little Sika deer, Bambi, who ran away without looking back.

These two species are natural enemies in the forest.

But the farm was different.

The little leopard in front of them couldn’t hunt at all, and didn’t even think about hunting, so it wasn’t a problem.

Xu Yang, although fond of Xiao Hua, still hoped she would grow up and carve out her own territory.

Of course, if she wanted to stick around, that was fine too. If she wanted to go into the woods, she could; if she wanted to stay, she could stay.

Animals need time to get acclimated; Xiao Hua, being here, would slowly become familiar with the other animals over time.

Xu Yang’s farm was about to become more lively.
