Chapter 384: Chapter 382: The Wine-Stealing Mouse, Tabby Cat Sang Biao’s Ability!

Ba Zai stayed at Swan Lake.

Xu Yang called out to it, asking if it would return, but Ba Zai just looked from afar and did not move.

"Alright then."

Xu Yang smiled.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the dogs all followed.

After all, as the leading dog walker of Changbai Mountain, one always had to bring a few bodyguards when going out.

Above his head, the Black Kite swooped down, circled Xu Yang a few times in greeting, and then swiftly flew away.

Xu Yang looked up, saw the Black Kite’s form, and smiled again.

It felt really nice - free and unrestrained.

The surroundings were a barren wasteland, bare with only a few sparse weeds.

Xu Yang walked back, preparing to return.

Just then, a plump wild rabbit appeared not too far away.

Seeing the rabbit, Little Black and Little Wolf got excited and immediately dashed out.

It had to be said, those two really could run fast.

Especially Little Wolf, who ran with a powerful beauty.

Yuanbao stayed by Xu Yang’s side, waiting for his command.

Xu Yang waved at it, signaling it to stay calm.

The audience online was also surprised by Little Wolf.

"Holy crap! What a speed!"

"That wolf is so handsome!"

"The animals Old Xu raises are really something!"

Then, Xu Yang, watching Little Black and Little Wolf, shouted loudly,

"Come back you two, stop chasing."

During the live stream, letting the dogs catch a wild rabbit could end up needing compensation.

Fortunately, this wild rabbit was clever. It quickly ran to the entrance of a hole and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Only Little Black and Little Wolf were left standing at the entrance, continuously peering inside.

Xu Yang walked over.

He took a close look, and saw that the uneven ground around him was riddled with rabbit holes.

"There are quite a lot of rabbits here."

"These wild rabbits are not easy to catch; they’re cunning. Only a Purple Mink or a Weasel could catch them."

"Otherwise, there are nests all over and the rabbits would vanish without a trace." Xu Yang deduced.

Hearing this, the audience found it interesting.

"Old Xu, find a way to catch the wild rabbits!"

"Don’t let it go, wild rabbit tastes too good, so fat and fragrant!"

"Food delivered to your door!"

The audience encouraged, wanting Xu Yang to catch the wild rabbits.

In response, Xu Yang said with a smile,

"Can’t catch them, there’d be a fine."

"They don’t allow hunting now; I won’t commit that offense."

With his three dogs, Xu Yang just strolled back, and the live broadcast ended there.

Occasionally live streaming his daily life was also interesting to the viewers.

Now, Xu Yang was indeed popular; fans often came to the farm to check in.

He didn’t know why everyone liked checking in there, but he felt that if more people came, he might need to hire a security guard in the future.

There were already quite a few employees on the farm.

If it expanded further, he would indeed need to hire a security guard.

When Xu Yang returned to the farm, he went to check on his beloved Monkey Wine.

That wine was truly a good thing; he, someone who didn’t like drinking, would enjoy a small cup every two days, feeling that it helped him sleep more soundly and steadily.

The stuff he brewed himself really was tasty.

But today was slightly different.

As soon as Xu Yang entered the wine cellar, he smelled a hint of alcohol.

The smell was faint, but definitely present.

He turned on his flashlight and took a close look, and lo and behold, the bottom of one of the wine jars had been chewed open, all the wine leaking out.

"Huh?"

"What’s going on?"

Xu Yang’s heart tightened.

Trouble at last, the wine cellar had been burgled!

This wasn’t good news.

This wine was quite important to him.

Farm life always came with many unexpected events, after all, many things happened.

Xu Yang squatted down to inspect closely, and seeing some mouse droppings nearby, he immediately identified it as the work of rats.

The mountain rats were fierce.

They were big and fast.

And these creatures were extremely tenacious, able to thrive both on land and in water, particularly fond of cold and moist environments.

Most absurdly, inside the Arctic Circle, someone had once been ice fishing and had just made a round hole through the thick ice, then in just a moment, a big rat had jumped out of the hole, appearing inexplicably.

So, these critters were tough to deal with.

Fortunately, Xu Yang had an effective tool for catching mice.

It was Boss Cat’s time to shine.

Thus, Xu Yang immediately went outside, calling out loud,

"Sang Biao! Sang Biao! There’s work to do!"

"Sang Biao, where are you!"

Hearing Xu Yang’s call, the Tabby Cat, who had been wandering aimlessly, instantly jumped down from the wall and sped towards Xu Yang like lightning.

This guy was running very fast, but as he approached Xu Yang, he slowed down and became arrogant.

"Come on, Sang Biao, big job ahead!"

Xu Yang picked up the cat and went straight to the wine cellar.

He arrived next to the broken wine jar, placed the Tabby Cat on the ground, pointed to the damaged part of the jar, and said,

"Look here, the mischief of a mouse."

"This one is definitely big, not easy to deal with."

"Figure out a way to kill it."

"Kill it and I’ll reward you with ten cat snacks to eat slowly."

Xu Yang hadn’t finished speaking when Sang Biao immediately approached the wine jar alertly and sniffed carefully.

Then, it looked around, inspecting the scene of the incident.

Sang Biao behaved very professionally.

After gathering enough information, it sat on the ground, appearing very calm.

"We won’t close the cellar door tonight."

"I’ll move your bed down here."

"It’s all up to you now!"

Xu Yang patted Sang Biao and added.

Then, he went to fetch a bamboo basket from the yard.

The bamboo basket was Sang Biao’s bed, equipped with a cotton mattress; Sang Biao loved lying in it, extremely comfortable.

Xu Yang looked at the situation in the wine cellar and felt somewhat worried.

Not that he was worried Sang Biao couldn’t catch the mouse, but he was concerned that the mouse might not show up these two days, and then return after Sang Biao left.

It was just not catching it red-handed.

This kind of thing still needed some luck.

We definitely can’t have less Monkey Wine.

Xu Yang then carefully checked for mouse holes and indeed saw one.

However, he didn’t rush to block it. The soil underground was rather loose; blocking this one would make it easy for the mouse to simply open another.

So, he left it open, letting the mouse come would be fine.

The day passed just like that.

At night, Xu Yang in bed was calculating his popularity value. During this period of live broadcasting, the popularity value had already accumulated to fifteen million.

Just one million short of sixteen million, he could then upgrade the Treasure Compass once again.

Xu Yang was eager to see what effect the upgrade of the Treasure Compass would bring.

After all, it was his biggest trump card.

As he pondered, time quickly passed, and Xu Yang fell asleep.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars sparse.

A huge rat, recalling the delicious wine it had tasted a few days ago, couldn’t resist the temptation.

It traveled along the tunnel and directly entered Xu Yang’s wine cellar.

The Monkey Wine was too delicious, and the rat had a taste for such fine things.

Its body was also big, bigger than most ordinary cats.

Moreover, this rat was fierce and would bite anything.

It wasn’t afraid even of smaller cats.

It even dared to sing loudly:

"Mice afraid of cats, that’s just a rumor, what’s to fear from a little cat."

But today, it was clearly a case of walking the night road too often and encountering a ghost.

As soon as it entered the cellar, the big rat felt a chill all over.

It hadn’t even reacted when the next second, it saw a pair of glowing green eyes.

From the prey’s perspective, the cat was truly terrifying.

That playful look in the eyes of a predator and the natural oppressiveness would instill a natural fear in any prey.

The big rat was so scared that it hurriedly scrambled back into its hole.

Just one look was enough for it to know it was no match.

But it was already too late, the next moment, Sang Biao pounced and pressed it down with a paw, then bit down directly on the nape of its neck.

The physiological structure of the rat meant it had no means to fight back.

Accompanied by the squeaking noises, the big rat was easily subdued by the Tabby Cat.

The chief culprit behind the wine theft, successfully brought to justice.

The next morning, Xu Yang got up and went about his usual physical activities.

When he got above the wine cellar, he saw from afar that the Tabby Cat was nonchalantly licking its fur.

Xu Yang felt the urge to silently praise it, but just as he walked a few steps closer, he saw next to the Tabby Cat, a huge black rat’s body displayed.

The rat was so big that Xu Yang also got a fright.

"This big? Jeez!"

"This definitely came from the mountains, I couldn’t raise such a big mouse here."

Xu Yang was somewhat surprised.

He then looked at the Tabby Cat, calm with a touch of smugness, and couldn’t help but praise with a smile:

"Sang Biao, good job."

"Very fierce."

"I’ll give you some cat snacks in a bit."

Saying this, Xu Yang looked at the rat and added:

"I’ll let Dr. Chen prescribe some preventive medicine for you later, such a big mouse might carry germs, better not eat it."

"You need to take the medicine too."

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, Sang Biao’s expression changed immediately.

Come on, a complete betrayal!

Sang Biao immediately turned around and bounced away.

Cat snacks, he could eat.

But medicine, not a bit.

Trying to make him take medicine, no
