Chapter 230 The Complete Leopard Skin
The snow leopard that caused the attack has been removed.
[Rewards: 300 Fortune Points, 1 98k Sniper Rifle, 3 Sets of Premium Traps]
Upon hearing the system reward notification in his mind, Chen Yongqiang put away his hunting rifle.
He now held a brand-new 98K sniper rifle in his hand. He stroked the gun, saying, "Finally got it. It's just a pity it didn't come with a scope."
Chen Yongqiang thought of the secondhand market in the county town; the stall owner who had sold him the gun before might be able to get some spare parts.
"I'll have to ask him again when I go back to the county town next time."
He was hunting rabbits, so there was no need for a sniper rifle yet. He fiddled with it for a couple more moments, loaded the gun with bullets for emergencies, and then put it back into his storage space.
"The snow leopard is dead, you can relax now." Chen Yongqiang knew the snow leopard was beyond saving after receiving the system's kill confirmation notification, so he gave the order to Tianlang.
Sirius then released its massive jaws and retreated to the side, its tongue lolling out as it panted heavily, its eyes still warily fixed on its prey on the ground.
Chen Yongqiang stepped forward and put the snow leopard into his spatial storage. Tianlang twitched its nose and then rushed towards the bushes ahead.
Soon after, a wild boar weighing about 100 pounds was dragged out, with obvious lacerations on its neck. This was clearly the snow leopard's original prey for the night.
"This wild boar is a bargain for us." Chen Yongqiang didn't stand on ceremony and put the wild boar into his spatial storage as well.
He noticed a shallow scratch on Sirius's shoulder blade, so he took out some spiritual spring water and fed it to Sirius.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, Tianlang's spirits were noticeably lifted, and the bleeding from his wounds quickly stopped.
Chen Yongqiang patted its back: "Go back first, there's plenty of meat for tonight."
Because Sirius was injured, he stopped hunting and took Sirius back ahead of schedule.
Back in the village, as Chen Yongqiang passed Ding Wanru's house, he noticed the light was still on and muttered to himself, "Wanru's still awake so late?"
Normally he might have knocked on the door, but tonight there was a group of helpers waiting to eat wild game with their drinks, so Chen Yongqiang didn't delay and went straight to his own homestead.
When he reached the corner of the village road, which was still a few dozen meters away from his homestead, Chen Yongqiang looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then took the snow leopard and wild boar out of his spatial storage.
With the bar on his shoulder, he walked toward the workers' shed, which was lit by firelight and filled with the sounds of people.
"Everyone, I'm back!" Chen Yongqiang shouted from afar.
Upon hearing the noise, several villagers who were warming themselves by the fire in the shed got up and came out to greet them.
"Qiangzi, have you found anything?" Zhao Fugen was the most anxious.
Before Chen Yongqiang could answer, the sharp-eyed young man had already spotted the prey he was carrying on his shoulder by the firelight.
"Yes! We've gained something!"
"What's that? It looks pretty big!"
Chen Yongqiang didn't answer. He walked to the open space in front of the work shed and put the snow leopard on his shoulder and the wild boar he was dragging on the ground. In the firelight, everyone could finally see them clearly.
Zhao Fugen leaned closer for a closer look and exclaimed in surprise, "This is... a snow leopard!"
People in the crowd immediately began to whisper among themselves:
"That kid He Jun, he was bitten by this thing, right?"
"Goodness, that leopard is a real ferocious beast!"
"Qiangzi, you've rid the people of a scourge tonight!" Zhao Fugen patted Chen Yongqiang on the shoulder, praising him sincerely.
Chen Yongqiang was already used to catching prey, and said calmly:
"Everyone, lend a hand. You're in charge of dealing with this wild boar. I'll skin the leopard first."
He needed to quickly skin the leopard and process it properly; this complete, long-haired leopard pelt was far more valuable than the wild boar.
When the villagers saw that there would really be meat to eat that night, they all got excited and started looking for knives and boiling water.
The commotion at the workers' shed also alerted the women who were watching television in the thatched hut next door.
Liang Meie was also there that evening. Hearing the commotion, she came out of the house and naturally joined in the help.
She rolled up her sleeves and began to give orders like a mistress of the house:
"Er Lengzi, go and fetch more firewood. Niuwazi, clean the big pot and boil water. Hurry up!" Several young men were being ordered around by her.
Chen Yongqiang, meanwhile, focused on dealing with the snow leopard.
He was extremely careful with his knife, slowly cutting along the midline of the abdomen, separating the fur from the flesh little by little, keeping the leopard skin as intact as possible.
He used a special method to treat the leopard's head, intending to preserve the entire skull.
He thought to himself, "If I'm going to do it, I'll make it a complete specimen, with a beginning and an end, to qualify it as a collector's item. It would be a huge loss to sell it to an old leather craftsman as just an ordinary fur coat."
Liang Meie walked over with a smile, squatted down next to Chen Yongqiang, and watched him peel off the fur:
"Yongqiang, you're going to have a great night! That leopard pelt alone must be worth a lot of money, right?"
"It's hard to say how much it can sell for. This is my first time dealing with this stuff, and besides, the price changes every year, so I'm not sure."
Chen Yongqiang was thinking to himself that if he had the chance, he should try to sell the snow leopard skin to the wealthy coal mine tycoon in the county.
"Wild boar meat prices have gone up recently. How about I help you sell this wild boar? I guarantee you'll get a good price." Liang Meie had been keeping this in mind.
Chen Yongqiang agreed: "But we need to cut about ten pounds of meat tonight to treat the workers. I promised them."
"We don't need that many. It's a waste to give them all to eat," Liang Meie said, leaning closer and lowering her voice.
Before Chen Yongqiang could speak, Liang Meie straightened up and said, "Don't worry about this. Leave it to me."
Several villagers worked together to scald the wild boar and shave off its hair.
Zhao Fugen shouted, "Qiangzi, come over here and gut the pig!"
"I'll do it," Liang Meie replied, picking up a pig-slaughtering knife and walking over.
Upon seeing this, someone joked, "Liang Meie, when did you learn how to butcher pigs?"
"I'm not as strong as you guys," Liang Meie said without getting angry.
He deftly cut an opening in the pig's stomach, saying, "But when it comes to gutting and cleaning offal, I'm better than you."
"Aren't you trying to steal Liu the pig's job?" someone joked.
This caused a burst of laughter from the crowd.
"Don't mention Liu the pig anymore," another villager chimed in.
"He's probably at some gambling table right now, so he can't possibly be busy butchering pigs for others."
Liang Meie worked swiftly, slicing open the wild boar's belly and removing its internal organs.
Next, she cut off two large pieces of neck meat, weighing about five or six pounds each, from the wild boar's neck and handed them to the side.
"Take these two pieces, chop them up and cook them, make a side dish for everyone."
"Liang Meie, at least cut off a decent piece of meat," a villager muttered as he looked at the two pieces of meat.
"It's good enough to have meat to eat, why be so picky? The rest of the meat should be saved to sell for money," Zhao Fugen chimed in, trying to smooth things over.
