Chapter 187 The local leopard enters the forest farm
Sheng Xiping did not hesitate to argue with Lao Hu and the others, but went straight to the pig pen and the sheep pen.
But inside the pen, apart from the hoof prints of pigs and sheep, there were also the footprints of a few people from the farm. The scene was so chaotic that it was impossible to tell what was going on.
In desperation, Sheng Xiping had no choice but to come out of the pen and wander around the farm.
There was a light snowfall last night, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of new snow.
This is perfect for hunters, who can look for clues in the snow.
Sheng Xiping wandered around for half a circle, and suddenly found different traces outside the garden stick behind the sheep pen.
They were several footprints like cat's claws, in the shape of plum blossoms, but they were many times larger than cat's claws.
"It's a leopard. It was a leopard that entered the farm last night and took away the sheep."
Sheng Xiping looked at the footprints on the snow and immediately determined the identity of the beast.
The leopard has five toes on its front feet and four on its hind feet, and its claws can be retracted like a cat's.
Cats have thick pads under their feet, so they can make no sound when they land.
But the tiger's paws are larger than the leopard's. Just look at the footprints on the ground and you will know that they were left by the leopard.
Sheng Xiping took a breath. For some reason, he had a hunch that the leopard that came to the farm to attack the pigs and sheep last night should be the leopard he met yesterday.
Leopards are also very vindictive.
Liu Yujiang once told Sheng Xiping a true story.
Twenty years ago, there was a famous hunter in Dajian Field. When he went hunting in the mountains, he discovered a cave where a leopard was hiding.
The old leopard was not there, but there was a leopard cub in the cave. The hunter was greedy, so he took the leopard cub away.
Unexpectedly, the adult leopard followed the cub's scent and chased it all the way to Dajichang Village.
The leopard became so ferocious at that time that it almost killed all the livestock in the village.
The hunters in the village surrounded and hunted the leopard several times without success, which in turn aroused the leopard to take even greater revenge.
Later, Liu Changde realized something was wrong and searched all over the village. Finally, he found a leopard cub in the hunter's house.
At Liu Changde's insistence, the hunter had no choice but to let the leopard cub go.
The cub found the mother leopard based on its scent. When the mother leopard saw that the cub came back safe and sound, she stopped retaliating and left with the cub, never to return to the cave again.
It can be seen from this that leopards are as revengeful as wolves and jackals.
"What the hell? A local leopard has entered the village?
Xiping, don’t scare people. If this is really a local leopard that has entered our forest farm, we must report it to the police. This can easily lead to trouble."
When Lao Hu heard this, he was startled. The leopard was not a jackal, but a large beast second only to the Siberian tiger.
If a leopard really enters the village, not to mention the livestock in the breeding farm, even people may be attacked at any time.
"Uncle, look at the footprints on the ground. They are definitely not jackals. According to my hunting experience, they are leopards."
Sheng Xiping pointed to the footprints on the ground and explained to Lao Hu.
"Uncle, please call the forestry farm and let the loudspeaker in the farm shout. Everyone should go out as little as possible these days.
I'll take a look around the area again, maybe I can find some clues."
Sheng Xiping sighed. If a leopard enters the village, people will be in danger. It is better for everyone to stay vigilant and avoid other things.
When Lao Hu heard this, he immediately ran to find Wang Jiachuan.
Here, Sheng Xiping wandered around the breeding farm again, trying to see what clues he could find.
Surprisingly, Sheng Xiping found the jackal's footprints not far from the breeding farm.
This discovery made Sheng Xiping very puzzled. Could it be that not only leopards came last night, but also jackals?
After carefully identifying the footprints on the ground, Sheng Xiping discovered that they were two jackals, and they were female jackals.
The female jackal is smaller, has smaller claws, and has a different stride span than the male jackal.
In other words, the two female jackals that ran away yesterday were not hiding in the deep mountains and old forests. They also entered the villages last night.
This discovery surprised Sheng Xiping.
The two jackals and the leopard came outside the farm at the same time, but they did not conflict. This is unlikely.
Just when Sheng Xiping was puzzled, the forest farm loudspeaker started shouting.
The content is nothing more than a reminder to everyone in the forest farm to try not to go out alone, let alone at night, to lock the doors of their homes, and to be careful to be careful of leopard attacks.
When the loudspeaker shouted this, every household knew about it, and for a while, people in the forest farm were panicked.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this sudden incident makes everyone feel uncomfortable.
"Xiping, I guess you are here. How did you find the leopard? Was it the one that bit General Black yesterday?"
Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo listened to the radio and immediately thought of the leopard biting the dog yesterday.
General Black was able to escape from the leopard's mouth. One was Erlang Shen, who was fierce and vowed to protect his companions to the death, and the other was Sheng Xiping who took action in time and shot away the leopard.
Unfortunately, the shot failed to kill the leopard. Instead, it ran away. This time, it became a disaster.
"I guess it's that one. What's wrong is that it's secretly staring at us.
Yesterday afternoon, we were peeling off jackal skins at the breeding farm, and the leopard saw us, so it came to harm the livestock in the breeding farm at night."
Sheng Xiping sighed, who would have thought of this? The dog was bitten by the leopard, how could he not save it?
This rescue offended the leopard and caused the leopard to retaliate. What the hell is this?
"Then what should we do now? Leopards are not easy to fight." Wang Jianshe and others were unsure. This matter was going to be difficult to handle.
Cats are the most coordinated and explosive among all mammals, which means they are the leader among animals.
They do not need the help of their friends and can survive on their own, so they have formed the habit of living alone.
Living alone has made their personalities quiet and calm. Cats usually don't bark and are basically silent and silent every day.
Canines, on the other hand, are basically social animals and like to howl.
For example, a jackal will howl when there is nothing wrong and keep communicating with other companions. Maybe whoever spots the prey will get a few bites from everyone.
A leopard is not a jackal. It moves quickly, lives alone, and its whereabouts are a mystery. It is too difficult to hunt a leopard.
"I also know that leopards are difficult to fight, but no matter how hard they are to fight, we can't let them continue to harm us.
I'm going to follow the footprints into the woods and have a look. If you guys aren't afraid, just follow. Forget it if you're afraid."
Sheng Xiping became so stubborn that he didn't care whether the leopard was difficult to fight or not. This time, he fought hard with the leopard.
"Then what nonsense are you talking about? Why should we just forget about being afraid?
Are we the ones who leave our brothers alone? Of course we will follow you wherever you go.
Damn it, I still don’t believe it. We all have guns in our hands, how can we be afraid of a leopard?”
When Wang Jianshe and others heard this, they rolled their eyes, not being so contemptuous of others.
