Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 345 - 344: He couldn’t really...have something on him, could he?

Chapter 345: Chapter 344: He couldn’t really...have something on him, could he?

The second night, the weasel didn’t dare come over.

To put it accurately, they no longer dared to come over afterwards.

After all, there was danger of death there, and fear had been seared into their hearts.

The tabby cat at night was just too terrifying.

In the morning, Xu Yang went to the village to take the tabby cat home.

When he arrived, Liu Fu had already raised two kittens and was preparing a cat nest.

One was a tabby, and the other was a big orange cat.

The two kittens huddled in a corner, looking up at Sang Biao, not daring to move.

Sang Biao looked at them calmly.

He had no interest in such little kittens.

"Liu Fu, how was it, safe tonight?"

"The weasel didn’t come over?"

Xuyang asked as soon as he arrived.

"It didn’t come over, Farm Director, it’s all thanks to your cat."

"It’s amazing!"

"Those two weasels had been coming for four or five days in a row, and now we can finally rest easy."

Liu Fu responded with a smile.

Xu Yang walked into the courtyard, fed Sang Biao a cat snack, then picked up the basket, and took him home.

"Farm Director, here’s a big fat goose, a farm-raised old goose I’ve raised myself, just killed this morning, still fresh."

"Take it with you, it’s a small token of my gratitude."

"I really owe you one for this."

Seeing this, Liu Fu hurried over with a plastic bag containing a very plump big goose.

Liu Fu’s geese were raised for quite a long time, some for over a year, and tasted particularly good.

"You’re too polite."

"What are you doing this for?"

Xu Yang refused while simultaneously taking it.

This little perk was well-deserved.

Afterwards, Xu Yang, carrying the basket with the cat and a plump big goose, drove back to the farm to rest.

The tabby cat’s expression was very relaxed.

Being able to return to the farm made it in a pretty good mood.

It could go sunbathe on top of the greenhouse again.

The weather was getting colder, and at night it could rest inside the greenhouse.

Xu Yang, holding the big goose, planned to make roast goose when he got back today.

This goose tasted better than those raised on his farm, mainly because it had been raised longer, at least a year and a half, possibly two and a half.

Just right for satisfying his craving for roast goose.

Roasting goose requires attention to detail, the best being to use lychee wood.

Lychee wood burns with a fragrance that rises and infuses into the roast goose, making its flavor even better.

Such a fine big goose deserved some quality materials.

So Xu Yang also drove out to buy lychee wood.

He had time on his hands anyway.

With all the Tool materials ready, Xu Yang started to work on roasting the goose.

His culinary skills were quite impressive; making a roast goose was a breeze.

After cleaning the big goose, he rubbed it with various seasonings and even inflated the body, so the goose meat could fully expand.

He also brushed on a layer of his carefully mixed honey crisp skin liquid.

Once all the preparations were done, he placed the big goose in the oven and added the purchased lychee wood underneath.

As the flames spread, the big goose officially began to roast.

Xu Yang’s skills were superior; he kept turning the big goose to ensure that every piece of meat cooked evenly.

He also brushed on some crisp skin liquid occasionally.

It wasn’t long before the goose’s skin turned a golden yellow and exuded the aroma of roasted meat.

The dogs had been waiting early, lying on the ground, all their eyes watching Xu Yang.

A little raccoon was also there.

The tabby cat was present too.

Everyone was waiting for a share of the meat.

The fragrance continuously wafted out, and the employees could also smell it.

"What is the Farm Director cooking? It smells so good?"

"It seems like he’s roasting a big goose."

"Roast goose? You’re making me crave it too."

"Let’s buy one from the town tonight, it’s not expensive."

"Alright."

Wang Wu and Zheng Xiangqian chatted idly.

Eating canteen food every day, they also wanted a change of taste.

Buying some roast goose or braised meat was just perfect.

Especially today, smelling the roast goose, everyone became even more restless.

In the courtyard, Xu Yang leisurely finished making the roast goose.

The skin of the roast goose was golden and crispy, glistening with oil.

He thought it was about right and cut off a small piece to taste.

Instantly, his mouth was filled with the rich flavor of the goose.

The first taste was sweet, due to the honey crisp skin liquid.

Then, chewing gently, the seasoning in the goose meat mixed with the fat and released its flavor.

"Really nice."

"Old geese have the best taste."

"I’ll talk to Ma Wen later, keep some big geese on the farm and raise them longer."

Xu Yang was satisfied.

He felt the goose was roasted enough and took out a plate to serve it.

This kind of goose should be eaten hot.

The taste isn’t as good once it cools.

The roast goose was large in quantity; he alone couldn’t finish it.

Fortunately, with the little ones around, Xu Yang cut a few pieces of meat and threw them to the dogs one by one; the creatures were quick to react, catching and swallowing the grilled meat in one bite.

Xu Yang also boiled a pot of tea on the side, eating goose meat while drinking tea to cut the greasiness.

He enjoyed the meal immensely.

Tabby Cat Sang Biao came over, and Xu Yang also fed it some goose meat.

The little guys always had plenty to eat following Xu Yang.

It was quite a feast for them.

After eating and drinking their fill, since there was nothing important to do today, Xu Yang went back to his room to rest.

The remaining time was for play.

But Xu Yang planned to rest early today because tomorrow, he intended to go see the tigers.

He had to maintain a good relationship with this newly acquainted tiger family.

He had prepared the milk bottles already.

The next day, it was the same familiar journey.

He made his way into the mountain and found the wild Northeast Tiger family.

Xu Yang went in alone.

The mother tiger now trusted Xu Yang completely; she no longer watched him closely when he played with the tiger cubs.

She even felt confident enough to leave her children with him upon seeing him.

Little Mountain God, usually quite carefree, was now feeling a great deal of pressure.

It could finally relax when Xu Yang came over.

Have some milk and then find a place to take a nap.

The tiger cubs, upon seeing Xu Yang, would be especially delighted, hopping and jumping over, waiting for Xu Yang to feed them milk.

After feeding them, they would pounce around on their mother.

Xu Yang sat next to Little Mountain God, stroking its head.

It felt particularly nice.

At this moment, over at the Tiger and Leopard Protection Station, unmanned drones were on their routine patrols.

There were more tigers and leopards here, and they needed to be well guarded to prevent poachers and to avoid any accidents.

But today was destined for something unexpected.

A Patrol Guard fixated on the surveillance screen was stunned when he saw Xu Yang with the tiger family.

What the heck?

What is that?

Is that a person?

Between two tigers?

He hurriedly reported the situation to the leadership at the protection station.

Upon hearing the news, the staff at the station quickly gathered to review the surveillance footage.

Wang Jianghai had just returned from his vacation and was beyond shocked to see the scene.

"Is that Xu Yang? Damn, why are there so many tigers there?"

"It looks like a family of tigers? The mother tiger with her kids actually lets him get close?"

Wang Jianghai immediately dialed Xu Yang’s phone.

Xu Yang’s phone was a product rewarded by the system, equipped with global communication capabilities, so even without live streaming, the phone had signal.

"Xu Yang, what’s going on? How did you get into the mountain? And why so many tigers around you?"

Wang Jianghai couldn’t help but ask.

"Just roaming the mountains and happened to feed the tiger cubs. One thing led to another, and we became acquainted."

"Don’t spread this on the internet. You know my situation. If videos get out, people might form teams to come and see the tigers, and that would be troublesome."

Xu Yang replied.

"No problem there, we also don’t want people deep in the mountains. I’m curious, though, how do you get along with the tigers? Those are Northeast Tigers; they’re man-eaters!"

Wang Jianghai continued.

"I saved this mother tiger when it was younger, and by chance, I encountered it again. It didn’t show any hostility towards me."

"Neither of the adult tigers resisted me, so it just worked out."

Xu Yang casually made up a reason.

This reason actually convinced the people at the station a bit.

But it was still outrageous.

"He couldn’t really have something special about him, could he? Could he be one of those legendary masters?"

One of the Patrol Guards said, face filled with shock.

"Maybe he’s fed the tigers several times, made them accustomed to him. There are people abroad who live with tigers and leopards, even lying on top of tigers and riding them. It’s not that big of a deal."

"We’ll ask him sometime if he wants to join us on a patrol. Our team could really use someone like him so we can explore deeper into the forest."

As they chatted, they observed for a bit longer, then withdrew the drone.

Xu Yang played with the tiger family for over an hour, then said his goodbyes and left.

It was better that fewer people knew about these things.

But since the Protection Station was an official institution, it wasn’t a big deal for them to know.

Now that the three little tigers were familiar with him, by next year when the cubs were nearly grown, Xu Yang would have three more underlings.

Then he would truly be able to strut around the mountains.

By the time Xu Yang left the mountain, it was already the afternoon.

Ma Wen was waiting for him on the mountain road in his car.

After Xu Yang got in, the car slowly headed towards the farm.

After driving for a while, Ma Wen sensed something was amiss.

"Director, there seems to be a white bird following our car the whole time."

"I took a loop downhill, and it kept flying in front of the car."

"I thought I was seeing things."

Ma Wen said, looking ahead.

"A white bird?"

Xu Yang was surprised.

Why would there be a white bird?

Immediately, he recalled that there was a white crow in the forest, a system-rewarded animal marked to recognize its owner.

Xu Yang hadn’t gone to look for it yet.

Surely the White Crow must have seen him when he got in the car and found him!

"Stop the car, I’ll get out and have a look!"

Xu Yang hastily asked Ma Wen to stop the car, then he got out from the back seat and looked up into the sky.

Sure enough, he saw a little bird with completely white feathers flying down from the sky, hovering in front of Xu Yang.

Xu Yang reached out his hand and gently cradled it.

Indeed, it was a white crow.

The very one he had seen before.

The White Crow looked up at Xu Yang, its expression curious and excited.

Having recognized the right person by the look in their eyes, it had successfully acknowledged its master and consequently secured its place at the farm.
