Chapter 191 Celebration

Once they were certain the leopard was dead, Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe quickly went forward.

Sheng Xiping swayed a couple of times before collapsing to the ground again.

I was so tense just now that I couldn't feel anything, but now, thinking back on that close call with the leopard, I'm filled with dread.

Sheng Xiping sat on the ground, panting heavily, not wanting to move at all.

At this moment, Liu Changde arrived with Wang Jianshe and the others.

They were a bit far apart just now, but we could still see Sheng Xiping fighting the leopard.

Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo came forward and helped Sheng Xiping up.

"Xiping, well done! You're amazing! My goodness, you almost scared us to death just now."

Liu Changde was old and walked slowly. When he got there, he smiled and patted Sheng Xiping on the shoulder.

"Kid, you've really made your master proud today."

"I'll tell people later that my apprentice killed a leopard without a gun, just with a knife." Liu Changde laughed heartily with great satisfaction.

That laugh instantly dissolved the tense atmosphere, making everyone feel relieved, as if a heavy stone had been lifted from their chests.

“Yes, there used to be heroes who fought tigers, but my brother Xiping is a hero who fought leopards.” Zhang Zhijun and others also came forward and hugged Sheng Xiping.

The leopard was dead, and it was getting dark. It was definitely not time to chase after the two female jackals today.

After discussing it, they decided to let the female jackal live for another day.

Tomorrow morning, they will take their dogs out, find the jackals, and kill the two female jackals.

To prevent those two from causing trouble again, otherwise the New Year will be anything but peaceful.

The group had been lying in ambush in the mountains for most of the day, and they were cold and hungry. It was indeed not a good time to continue chasing the two jackals.

So Wang Jianshe and the others dragged the leopard back to the forest farm together.

At the forest farm, Wang Jiachuan, Lao Hu, Sheng Liancheng, and others waited anxiously.

This time is different from before. We're going to hunt leopards, the second most ferocious beast after the Siberian tiger. Who wouldn't be worried?

Even Sheng Xi'an, Sheng Xi'kang, and their younger brothers were waiting at the breeding farm.

Seeing someone emerge from the woods behind the mountain in the distance, the boys jumped up and cheered, "They're back! They're back!"

As they spoke, the children darted out of the farm and headed towards the back mountain to greet their elder brothers.

When they got closer, the children saw the big, colorful creature being dragged along.

"Wow, this is a leopard! It's so beautiful!" the children cheered happily.

"A leopard! We've caught a leopard! It's a huge leopard!" The children were extremely excited and shouted at the top of their lungs.

At the farm, everyone understood.

"Hey, Liancheng, did you hear that? It must be Xiping and the others who have caught the leopard."

Good heavens, this is really rare! In all my years in the forest, I've never even seen a leopard.

Wang Jiachuan was also quite happy; with the leopard killed, the livestock at the farm could be saved.

The forest farm workers and their families no longer need to be afraid to go out.

"Xi Ping has done another good deed this time. Oh my, how much should the forest farm reward him this time?"

Wang Jiachuan was so happy that he had already started thinking about how to give out the bonus.

"Jiachuan, if you listen to me, don't give it to us this time." Sheng Liancheng quickly stopped him upon hearing this.

Although killing the leopard was indeed a meritorious act and should be rewarded, Sheng Xiping and the others each received a considerable amount of money yesterday. If they were to return it today, they feared others would be dissatisfied.

Reasonable people would say that Sheng Xiping and his colleagues are capable and earned the reward based on their genuine skills.

But some people are unreasonable and only look at others making money with envy. Who knows what kind of nonsense these people might spout?

What if it's said that Wang Jiachuan took public funds and used the reward as a pretext to deliberately do favors?

Human hearts are complex; you can't see into someone's heart, so who knows what they're thinking?

"Ah? How can that be? Today it's not just Xiping and his group, there are also people from the Liu family at Dajianchang."

"Do you think they'll come and work for us for free? You can't do things like that." Wang Jiachuan was taken aback when he heard this, and then retorted.

"If you listen to me, quickly send someone back to have your sister-in-law cook some dishes and invite Brother Liu and his two sons over for a meal."

I'll talk to Xiping about the leopard skin later, and when we sell it, we'll give the Liu family a bigger share of the profits.

"This is better than anything else, and no one can find fault with it." Sheng Liancheng suggested to Wang Jiachuan.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiachuan immediately understood.

That's right. The jackal was killed, but its meat wasn't tasty and its hide couldn't be sold, so the farm gave out a reward.

But these leopard skins are valuable; each one could sell for several hundred. If you do the math, each person could get a considerable amount of money.

"It has to be you, you're so thoughtful. Okay, let's do it your way."

It's no wonder they've known each other for so many years. Who else would be willing to give up the prize money to come up with this idea for Wang Jiachuan?

Just then, the boys from each family ran back.

Wang Jiachuan immediately grabbed his son and sent him home to tell Tao Chunhong to prepare some snacks to go with the drinks, as he was inviting people home for dinner that evening.

Wang Tianqing understood immediately, agreed, and ran home as fast as he could.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xiping and his group dragged the leopard back to the breeding farm and met up with Wang Jiachuan, Lao Hu, and others.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Hu, I have successfully completed my mission."

"Under Master's guidance, we lay in ambush all afternoon and finally managed to kill this guy," Sheng Xiping said with a smile.
