Chapter 67 -67 There Must Be a Mountain God Up the Mountain!
Early morning.
Xu Yang, carrying a bamboo basket, entered the mountain once again.
The drone took to the sky.
The live stream was opened in real time.
Soon, netizens flocked into the live broadcast room.
It was the familiar mountain scene again; everywhere one looked was lush greenery, weeds, and trees.
It was quite relieving to watch.
“Today I’m going to walk around the back hill of the farm. The mountain isn’t big, just a small mound.”
“Behind the mountain is the deep mountain range, and you can actually enter from here.”
“When I have the money, I’ll lease this mountain.”
“And maybe plant some ginseng, or raise chickens and pigs or something.”
Xu Yang breathed in the fresh air of the mountain forest, sharing his grand ambitions.
Everyone was very excited to hear him say this.
[Lease a whole mountain? Are you that amazing?]
[A boss just leases a fish pond, but if you can lease a mountain, you’re more boss than a boss!]
[I’ll let the whole world know that you’ve leased this mountain!]
With a wooden stick for poking around in the underbrush in hand, Xu Yang continued deeper in, occasionally looking back and forth to see if he could find any valuable mountain goods.
Fresh wild vegetables and mushrooms buried under the fallen leaves could not escape his eyes.
Indeed, as soon as they showed themselves, they were picked.
At this moment, somewhere in the forest.
The female leopard wanted to rest for a while, but the little leopard was jumping around its head, very active.
From the female leopard’s expression, one could see profound helplessness.
At this time, a kid is really a load even a dog would refuse to deal with.
Too noisy.
With a gentle roar, the female leopard stood up and walked away. The little leopard didn’t know where to go, but immediately followed.
When the little leopard couldn’t walk, the mother would carry it in her mouth. Normally, she let it follow on its own.
It was clear what the female leopard meant:
“I’m taking you to your foster father.”
The little leopard understood what the female leopard meant and hopped along merrily.
The leopard’s territory was large. Generally speaking, a leopard would patrol its territory every day.
The female leopard temporarily considered the back hill her territory and usually moved around on the mountain.
They were in a relatively high position.
From a distance, the female leopard seemed to see something moving.
Upon closer inspection, it just happened to see Xu Yang, who had entered to rush the mountain.
This was quite a coincidence.
The female leopard’s face, originally devoid of interest, lit up with joy as she picked up the little leopard and quickly ran toward Xu Yang.
At this moment, Xu Yang was bending over, thoroughly engrossed in picking mushrooms that had just poked up from the earth.
The drone captured this scene on camera.
Then, two golden leopards, one big and one small, appeared in the viewers’ sight.
The sight of the wild leopards took everyone by surprise.
[Holy shit! There’s a leopard!]
Many netizens who had not seen Xu Yang’s videos before were immediately nervous upon seeing the leopards.
There was no way not to be nervous, this creature looked quite dangerous!
Some veteran fans recognized them as the two leopards Xu Yang had raised and so remained calm.
Hearing the noise, Xu Yang looked up and, upon seeing the two leopards, he immediately said with a smile:
“You two, huh? What a coincidence.”
His voice came through clearly from the live broadcast room.
Many people were stunned.
Huh?
He saw two leopards and just casually remarked, “What a coincidence”?!
Aren’t these big leopards?
[What’s going on?]
Someone asked in the live broadcast room.
[It seems like this host has leopards in the mountains!]
[Raising leopards? In the mountains?]
[They really are leopards! Aren’t these First Level protected animals?]
Every time the leopards appeared, the live chat would roll with a frenzy of comments.
The level of shock among the viewers was visible.
At that moment, the little leopard suddenly sped up, bouncing and hopping to Xu Yang’s front, happily frolicking around.
The female leopard heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, some peace and quiet.
Xu Yang picked a few mushrooms and placed them in a cloth bag, casually stroking the little leopard’s head in the process.
The touch was still very pleasant.
The little fellow had grown a bit larger, now bigger than an adult cat, and looked quite majestic.
Xu Yang explained to everyone:
“I should still say something, as some of you might not know.”
“I’ve helped the female leopard and the little leopard before, so they show me a good deal of affection.”
“This situation is quite rare.”
“If anyone encounters leopards or lynxes in the wild, do not approach them casually.”
Hearing Xu Yang’s words, many people immediately responded:
[Don’t worry, broadcaster, I’ll never encounter a wild leopard in my life!]
[Who would dare to get close? Wouldn’t they run at the sight of a leopard?]
[Is this really a leopard?]
With the appearance of the leopard, the number of viewers in the live broadcast began to increase rapidly.
Xu Yang had picked some mushrooms and was going to continue deeper into the mountains.
As he walked on, the little leopard followed him.

And where the little leopard went, the female leopard followed too.
It seemed these two guys were like bodyguards hired by Xu Yang.
Heading into the mountains with two leopards as bodyguards was a treatment unmatched by anyone.
Xu Yang led the way, leisurely sharing stories of the forest:
“Having predators in the mountains is good, at least for the people living at the base of the mountain.”
“Take tigers, for instance. When the population of wild Northeast Tigers declined, the forest began to have problems with wolves.”
“The wolves started entering the homes of the people living near the forest.”
“Then, when hunters started culling the wolves, and the wolves were taken care of, foxes, mice, and weasels began to emerge, damaging the crops and sneaking into houses to steal chickens and dogs.”
“Black bears, unable to find food, also started coming down from the mountains.”
“As someone living in the mountains, I have a more direct experience with the mountain’s ecosystem.”
“Of course, nowadays there are fewer farming households, not as many grain fields, so fewer wild animals come down.”
“But as long as there are predators on a mountain, it’s a good thing for the people living at its base.”
“Otherwise, why would some people call the tiger ‘Mountain God’? Tigers are legitimately considered auspicious creatures that nurture the mountains.”
Xu Yang was telling the stories of the mountains.
Just then, the little leopard pawed at his pants.
Seeing that it kept following him, Xu Yang simply picked up the little guy and said with a smile:
“I’m praising your brother here, but you’re not bad either, you’re also an auspicious creature.”
“You’re also the Mountain God.”
The little leopard blinked its big eyes. Although it didn’t understand, it appeared to be quite happy.
Once in Xu Yang’s arms, it immediately stopped struggling.
This was certainly more comfortable than being carried around by the scruff of the neck by its mother.
The viewers in the broadcast were again amazed.
[What’s the broadcaster doing? Holding the little leopard right in front of the mother leopard?]
[I’m nervous watching his broadcast, scared that the mother leopard will snap at him!]
[Truly worthy of being an outdoor section big shot!]
[Call him Brother Yang!]
[Brother Yang! Brother Yang!]
The scene did indeed look unbelievable.
As is well known, wild animals are often irritable and highly aggressive when rearing their young.
Yet here was a human being, holding and casually caressing a little leopard right in front of its mother.
And the female leopard behaved as if nothing were amiss, just following at an unhurried pace.
It was a sight that would frighten anyone.
What surprised everyone even more was how composed Xu Yang was, acting as if nothing was the matter.
He just looked around, searching for any good mountain products.
The only way people could describe it was:
Awesome!
Xu Yang would occasionally glance at the comments, and when he saw that people were still talking about the importance of protecting animals, he would explain:
“They’re not mine, they’re completely wild.”
“I’ve reported this to the Forestry Bureau.”
“How can you tell they’re raised by me?”
He said somewhat helplessly, still holding the little leopard.
