Chapter 281: Chapter 280: Leopard’s Peculiar Behavior, Asking Xu Yang to Babysit!

Xu Yang had adopted another Maine Cat.

This was a reward from the system, and when he went out and came back, he brought the Maine Cat with him.

The employees simply thought it was a new pet Xu Yang had bought.

The Maine Cat still had the appearance of a feline, but what made it different from other cats was that its ears were quite pointed, giving it a distinctive personality.

It was the largest cat, and its body could grow exceptionally big.

Keeping it on the farm was quite fitting.

The farm was still under construction.

The foundation was ready, and the workers were building walls.

The employees would occasionally come to take a look and lend a hand.

There were supervisors for the construction, so there was no need to worry about the quality of the work.

After all, working in the village, the reputation was crucial; if the contractor skimped on the work, they’d have no meals to eat in the future.

Soon, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.

Huaxia celebrated nationwide.

They also had to thank the ancient ancestor Qu Yuan, who jumped into the river and secured a 3-day holiday for his descendants.

All around, dragon boat races were being held.

Xu Yang, having nothing better to do, held the Maine Cat and turned on the TV to watch the dragon boat races in the Northeast.

There were five dragon boat teams, one of which capsized immediately, and another veered so wildly that it knocked another boat over.

The remaining two teams wobbled and wavered as they crossed the finish line.

Xu Yang found this quite amusing.

Making it across the finish line was considered a success.

After all, people from the northern regions were not adept at water battles.

Turning to watch the races in Guangdong, well, they raced in a winding river, the dragon boats moving incredibly fast, even drifting when turning corners.

Now that was truly a dragon boat race.

The farm’s rice dumplings were also ready.

It must be said, Chen Juan was indeed skilled and meticulous; the dumplings she wrapped were all very tightly packed, feeling plump and substantial to the touch.

Those were good dumplings.

Some dumplings that were taken out had already torn at the corners, felt less substantial, and tasted much worse.

They really needed to be wrapped tighter.

The farm made a lot of dumplings and also took some to sell at the market.

At the market here, handmade dumplings were much more popular than those made by machines.

Especially the products from Xu Yang’s farm, which everyone trusted.

So, there were many people buying dumplings.

Unbeknownst to him, Xu Yang’s reputation in the area was getting better and better.

The Dragon Boat Festival passed very comfortably, apart from the first day of the holiday when everyone was busy; Xu Yang then gave everyone a 3-day vacation.

They could all go out and have fun.

The employees all had vacations, aside from the statutory holidays, each also had 15 days of annual leave.

The welfare benefits here were considered quite good locally.

So, everyone was very motivated and also feared being laid off by the farm.

During the holiday, Li Shan, Niu Zhuang, and Chen Juan were the three who stayed to watch over the farm.

The others had plans; Ma Wen and Zheng Xiangqian went home, and Wang Wu went out with his college mates.

So, the farm was somewhat deserted.

That morning, Xu Yang was taking his usual walk around the farm.

The animals were also free-ranging and frolicking about the farm.

It was then that Xu Yang saw Xiao Hua appear at the farm.

He thought he was seeing things.

"Xiao Hua?"

It was indeed a surprise for a leopard to suddenly appear at the farm.

Xiao Hua let out a roar at Xu Yang, signaling him to come over.

Xu Yang saw it heading towards the outside and curiously followed.

Then, Xiao Hua picked up speed and leaped over a railing more than a meter high.

Xu Yang looked outside and saw Luna hiding under a low hill, with two little leopards also there.

Xu Yang was somewhat startled. What was going on?

Then, he only saw Xiao Hua pick up a little leopard and run towards the farm.

The poor little leopard didn’t even know what was happening and was foolishly being carried by Xiao Hua.

Then, he saw Xiao Hua come to the fence and place the little leopard in a gap underneath it.

The gap was originally for the little fox, but it could now allow the little leopard to come in.

"What do you mean by this? Are you asking me to babysit?"

"Isn’t it, who did you learn this from?

Xu Yang watched the scene and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It was ridiculous.

These two leopards really made things difficult, actually coming to the farm and leaving their kids for Xu Yang to watch!

Xiao Hua put down one little leopard and then went to fetch the second one.

Then it just ran off without looking back.

Luna looked worryingly at the two little leopards and asked Xiao Hua:

"Is this alright?"

Xiao Hua growled softly, responding:

"Don’t worry, I was like this when I was young.

When it rained in the past, Big Flower would indeed send Xiao Hua over.

The little guy would then shelter from the rain in Xu Yang’s courtyard.

Latter on, it simply settled down at the farm.

After Luna and Xiao Hua exchanged a few words, the two leopards happily ran off.

The little leopards were right at Xu Yang’s feet, not scared at all.

They first frolicked around Xu Yang’s trouser legs, then they stood on the grass, curiously surveying the surroundings.

Cubs at this age were curious about everything.

And they were fearless, not scared of anything.

The two leopards moved separately, and just like that, they ran and jumped towards the inside of the farm.

Xu Yang hurriedly held them and put them together, letting them run together.

This mustn’t be chaotic, mainly because he was afraid they would get lost.

Getting lost would be troublesome.

At that moment, four Little Foxes appeared out of nowhere, bouncing toward Xu Yang.

The four Little Foxes evidently didn’t expect new companions today.

Upon seeing the Little Leopards, they were instantly startled.

The two Little Leopards were also somewhat alert, arching their backs, their fur bristled, and they even emitted cute, fierce roars.

Both parties were a little panicked.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t be afraid," he said.

"It’s very safe on the farm, everyone gets along peacefully."

Xu Yang promptly comforted the two groups of little ones.

The Leopard and Little Foxes looked at each other.

They gradually let down their guard and approached each other.

Being newborns not long ago, their eyes still exhibited their naivety.

This juvenile sensation made them especially close.

At this time, not far away, Little Raccoon happily ran over.

This guy originally wanted to play with Little Foxes, as they had been happily playing together recently.

But when Little Raccoon saw the Little Leopards, it got scared and immediately turned back on the spot, started like burning tires, and ran back as if flying.

In a blink, it was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Yang just chuckled about it.

He understood this Little Raccoon’s temperament.

The guy was very afraid of cats, any feline for that matter, as if it was naturally restricted.

Especially afraid of Sang Biao.

Xu Yang felt somewhat helpless about this, as the Tabby Cat Sang Biao couldn’t even bother with Little Raccoon, yet the mere sight of Sang Biao sent it running.

He wondered what Little Raccoon was thinking.

Little Raccoon came, Little Raccoon left...

Xu Yang watched it retreat and didn’t bother about it.

Today he was entrusted with a task by Leopard, to take good care of these two Little Leopards.

At this moment, the Little Leopard and the Little Foxes, curious, came closer, and after a bit of testing, finding no malice in each other, they started playing and frolicking together.

All these guys were troublemakers and immediately began to tumble with each other.

Xu Yang watched the scene before him and couldn’t help but laugh.

The Little Foxes were playfully pinning the Little Leopards to the ground.

Such a scene was quite rare.

Mainly because the Little Foxes were a month older than the Leopards, and at this age, being a month older made a big difference.

So the Little Leopards were somewhat unable to cope.

But since they were all playing without using much force, it all looked quite joyous.

Xu Yang sat on the ground and played with them too.

Occasionally he would pick up a fox or a leopard and stroke its head.

He felt exceptionally content.

These guys all trusted Xu Yang a lot.

Li Shan and Niu Zhuang sometimes stepped out and would look over from afar.

Even if they saw, they pretended as if they did not.

After all, the Farmer doing such things had already become routine, visible now and then.

It was better if only those inside the farm knew about these things.

They never shared it outside.

Otherwise, if it ended up on the internet, it would be subjected to all sorts of discussion.

They just occasionally discussed it privately:

"The Farmer is raising Little Leopards again, just keeping them in the mountains, truly admirable."

"The large animals in the back mountain all feel close to him, our Farmer truly is the boss of this mountain."

"He really is a mythical figure!"

Xu Yang was still somewhat mysterious in their hearts.

Xu Yang didn’t think much of it, he was just living the life he wanted.

Playing with Little Leopards made his day quite delightful.

Around four in the afternoon, Xiao Hua appeared at the farm again.

It howled twice, calling Xu Yang out.

"What’s up? Are you here to pick up the kids?" he asked.

"You really know how to save effort," he commented.

Xu Yang saw Xiao Hua and knew its purpose, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Xiao Hua had grown up on the farm and knew the place well.

Then, Xu Yang, holding the two Little Leopards, followed Xiao Hua out of the farm.

Xiao Hua led the two Little Leopards towards the mountain forest.

Luna was still hiding under the low hill and only rushed over to snatch one when she saw the Little Leopards approach.

Then, the family of four ran and jumped, disappearing into the forest.

Xu Yang watched them depart, clicking his tongue, remarking on yet another astonishing day.

The more he raised these animals, the more he discovered their miraculous aspects.

Each one was particularly intelligent, seemingly filled with spirituality.

Spiritual animals naturally attracted people’s love, while Xu Yang wasn’t as interested in animals without spirituality.

For instance, wild boars, considered Xu Yang’s lifelong enemy.

Seeing one would definitely lead to a confrontation.

Xu Yang turned and headed back to the farm.

He glanced at the sunflower field and then took a tour inside the greenhouse.

The sunflowers were almost ripe, and the blueberries in the greenhouse were also nearing maturity.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the farm would start to get busy again.

These farm chores were not easy to handle.

Thankfully the staff were efficient.

So there was no need to worry too much.
