Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 269 - 268: The Capable Yuanbao and the Slacking Little Black!

Chapter 269: Chapter 268: The Capable Yuanbao and the Slacking Little Black!

Xu Yang safely arrived at the farm.

Going out to rub a tiger almost cost him his life.

It looks like he’ll need to draw a goodwill card before going next time.

Surviving is more important.

That very night, Xu Yang trended on social media.

#FamousLivestreamerEncountersThreeWildNortheastTigers#

With such a hashtag, who wouldn’t click to have a look?

Many people, upon seeing the hashtag, reacted with:

"Isn’t this famous livestreamer Xu Yang?"

It’s not like there’s anyone else on the entire net encountering wild Northeast Tigers.

When they clicked the video, it indeed was Xu Yang.

"What’s he up to this time?"

"He really isn’t afraid of death, huh!"

"He’s really got guts. These are three Northeast Tigers!"

In the video, Xu Yang stood beside one Northeast Tiger, with two others facing them.

The most dangerous moment in the middle was when all three tigers bared their teeth at the same time.

The scene was too thrilling.

Three Northeast Tigers in a standoff, and there’s a human joining the fray for what?

Knowing the outcome, netizens watched the video and took the chance to tease.

Comments flew across the video:

"Old Xu, show your teeth too, what are you standing there stunned for!"

"Old Xu, perk up, don’t lag behind Little Mountain God!"

"Aren’t you going to join the 2V2?"

"Little Mountain God: The one on the left is yours, the one on the right is mine. Old Xu: Me?"

The netizens are all talents.

The video is especially interesting combined with the comments.

Xu Yang became hot topic once again.

The scene in the video was extremely perilous, but fortunately, the tigers decided not to attack and left gracefully in the end.

Thus, a heart-stopping fight was avoided.

Otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

Unarmed, humans really cannot beat wild Northeast Tigers.

Not even Tyson in his prime could have done it; at best he would have made a half-decent meal for the tiger.

So there wasn’t much Xu Yang could do in this situation either.

Many people saw the video and their admiration for Xu Yang deepened.

This man really cannot be judged by common sense.

Xu Yang’s thought was simple: Do you think I wanted it to be like this?

It just happened to me!

But when you’re out and about, there’s always some danger.

Just live each day as it comes.

The next day

Xu Yang rested on the farm.

He petted Little Fox beside the Sunflower field and checked on the potatoes’ growth.

The resort had already been rushing their order for his potatoes.

After all, Xu Yang’s colored potatoes had a super good reputation there.

Potatoes are easy to store, so their order quantity was very large.

Basically, as much as Xu Yang grew, they would take it all.

With so many orders, there was a sense of security.

Several staff were working around here.

At this moment, Wang Wu asked Xu Yang:

"Farmer, I am thinking of raising a sheep, not the kind you eat, but as a pet."

"I mean, raise it big but not eat it."

"What do you think about that?"

Hearing Wang Wu’s words, Ma Wen next to him started to laugh.

Ma Wen had experience running a farm and knew about sheep’s temperament.

Xu Yang responded:

"You want the truth?"

"Of course," Wang Wu replied immediately.

Xu Yang explained:

"If you’re talking about the usual kind, like mountain sheep or wool sheep, they’re not well-suited as pets because they’re completely lacking in smarts, and you can’t understand their train of thought."

"Even if you raise a sheep for many years, it’ll butt you without any warning."

"They’ll never warm up to you. You could raise it for three years then give it to someone else; to the sheep, it’s all the same."

"There might be specialized pet sheep, like mini sheep, but you’d have to import them and they’re very expensive, costing tens of thousands."

After hearing Xu Yang’s words, Wang Wu took some time to think it over.

If a pet doesn’t recognize its owner, then it’s truly pointless to raise it.

Of course, anyone would want their pet to be close to them.

"If that’s the case, they are better suited to being turned into kebabs."

"Let’s forget it then," Wang Wu waved his hand.

Xu Yang laughed and said:

"It’s okay if you don’t keep them as pets; little lambs are still pretty cute and they like being around people."

"I’m actually planning to raise a dozen sheep. I’ve already told Ma Wen about this."

"When the time comes, let them breed on their own, give birth to little lambs, and we’ll just keep them."

That’s how many sheep farmers do it.

They carry the little lambs and keep them by their side because the lambs are obedient and like to follow people.

Almost like pets.

But once the sheep grow up, their lack of intelligence becomes a problem.

Firstly, they eat anything, and secondly, they have a very peculiar way of thinking.

Ready to butt someone at any moment.

"Farmer, you know a lot, have you raised them before?" Wang Wu asked furthermore.

At that, Xu Yang smiled and explained:

"Not really, my grandfather used to raise sheep when I was little, and I got along well with them."

"One day my grandfather wanted to sell the sheep, and I didn’t want him to, so I hugged the sheep and cried."

"And then the sheep just head-butted me and sent me flying."

"And then my grandpa turned it into mutton soup,"

"Sheep really can’t be tamed, but they can be cooked tender."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, everyone laughed.

Life on the farm gradually stabilized.

As time went on, there were more and more things to do.

The potatoes were almost ripe; we needed to use a tractor to haul the potato harvester.

The vegetable garden also needed tending.

There were many small animals to feed every day.

Plus, Xu Yang had cleared out a sheep pen and bought twenty lambs back, which also needed proper care.

Once the lambs arrived, Xu Yang thought about going out to herd them.

Herding didn’t require any brainwork; you just needed to follow the flock.

Occasionally experiencing this felt quite nice.

So, on a sunny afternoon, Xu Yang took a whip and drove the flock out.

He planned to walk around the outskirts of the farm so the sheep could graze.

Xu Yang also called over the three dogs.

A pure black Pasture Dog, a lean Maquan, and a silly Husky.

The idea of calling them was to let them herd the sheep.

Under Xu Yang’s driving, the sheep moved forward one after another.

They walked and looked for grass to eat.

They looked like little white cotton candies.

It was quite relaxing to watch them.

It was Xu Yang’s first time herding, and he wasn’t so skilled at it yet.

Occasionally a few sheep would scatter and run to the side, and Xu Yang had to drive them back into the group.

If he couldn’t keep up, he’d send the dogs.

"Little Black, that one, bring it back,"

Xu Yang pointed at a stray sheep and said to Little Black.

Little Black wagged its tail in response and then trotted over, running beside the lamb and looking back at Xu Yang.

"Drive it back; it’s brainless,"

Xu Yang commanded again.

Little Black seemed to understand and barked twice at the lamb, scaring it into hurrying back to the flock.

Then, Xu Yang gave instructions to the Maquan:

"Yuanbao, that one, bring it back."

Yuanbao was much smarter, or perhaps it was born to follow commands.

All you could see was it dashing out quickly, running up to the lamb, issuing a low growl, and the lamb returned.

In this regard, the Maquan was unrivaled.

Truly impressive.

At that moment, another little lamb drifted too far, and Xu Yang commanded the Husky:

"Little Ha, you go, that little lamb, bring it back."

Xu Yang pointed at the lamb and said to it.

The Husky tilted its head, its clear eyes showing a bit of stupidity as if to say:

"Why don’t you go?"

This fellow was like this, smart at times and foolish at others.

"Fine, just follow along then,"

Xu Yang smiled and asked no more of it.

Yuanbao primarily enjoyed herding the sheep.

After Xu Yang gave it a command, it quickly understood what it had to do.

Whenever it spotted a sheep straying, it would rush over to drive it back.

Its actions surprised Xu Yang.

Indeed, every team needs someone capable of getting things done.

Not just capable, but also willing and proactive.

Looking at Little Black and Little Ha now,

Little Black was just loafing around; I go if you tell me to go, otherwise, I’ll rest.

Little Ha outright didn’t understand, saying, "I can’t, don’t ask me."

It’s the same in the workplace.

The flock moved at a leisurely pace.

And Xu Yang just followed along.

The Maquan patrolled back and forth, looking for any sheep that might stray from the group.

Little Black cooperated with it, occasionally lending a hand.

There was a lead sheep in the group; wherever it went, the other lambs followed.

Together, they formed a team.

Xu Yang completely relaxed and just watched the sheep, feeling content.

Sometimes he even hummed a few lines of a melodious folk song.

His first time herding the sheep was quite relaxing.

There wasn’t much time today, so he just took the flock out for a loop.

In the future, when there was more time, he could go out in the morning to herd, find a hillside, and watch the sheep graze.

They eat grass and put on weight.

Gradually, they grow up.

However, the individual profit from sheep isn’t high; raising only so many wouldn’t make much money.

Xu Yang was a major planter; these sheep were just his hobby.

Another relaxed day passed.

After strolling around with the flock, Xu Yang went back to rest.

That evening, Wang Wu came to ask if he could keep cows as pets.

Xu Yang agreed with this.

Cows are emotional creatures, full of feelings.

Previously, when a cow’s owner tried to sell it, the cow even began to "drip drip" tears, and the owner eventually decided against selling the cow.

Moreover, cows are the gentleman of the farm, with good temperaments; many small animals liked to play with cows.

Compared to sheep that are sluggish and horses that are moody, cows are easier to get along with.

If raised from a young age, they’d even cuddle up to their owners.

"Okay then, Farmer, I’ll raise a cow,"

"But let’s make it clear, it’s for a pet, not for eating."

Wang Wu, a bit apprehensive, emphasized.

"Don’t worry, we buy beef from outside, no one will touch your cow,"

"It’s good to have around, makes things lively."

Xu Yang responded with a smile.
