"What can we do? No matter how difficult it is, we have to kill them, otherwise they will keep causing trouble at the farm every day."

After Liu Changde finished smoking his pipe, he tapped the bowl of the pipe against the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), then tied the tobacco pouch to the stem of the pipe and threw it into the tobacco basket.

"Old woman, daughter-in-law, hurry up and pack your things."

When the eldest and second eldest brothers get back, I'll take the three of them to meet that leopard and two jackals.

So the old man is going to personally take action to help Sheng Xiping kill the leopard and the jackal.

"Oh dear, Master, I dare not disturb you."

"My older brothers and I will go. It's the Lunar New Year, so you can rest at home. Surely a few of us can't kill a leopard?"

Upon seeing this, Sheng Xiping hurriedly stopped them.

This is serious. His master is over fifty years old. Even if he is in good physical condition, he can't go all over the mountains looking for leopards.

"What, do you look down on me?"

Do you think I'm too old, that my eyesight, legs, and energy aren't good enough anymore?

"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a leopard, what's so special about it? Your master has fought several before."

Liu Changde waved his hand, ignoring Sheng Xiping, and insisted that Qin Qiuyan help him pack his things.

“I’m doing this not only for you, but also for our village.”

"You only raise a few sheep and pigs over there in your forest farm. After you've ruined them over there, won't they come to this alkali field?"

Not only does the brigade have a dedicated breeding farm, but every household here also raises pigs or sheep.

"Wouldn't it be even more convenient if the leopard came to steal it?" The old man insisted on going up the mountain to hunt the leopard.
