Seeing that the concubine Niangniang was also curious, He Wu hurriedly told the two of them what he had heard.

It turned out that this shopkeeper Lu really had a good heart.

Although the rice shop is not his, he is just looking after the store for the He family, but he is very generous, not only often helping the neighbors, but also picking up and feeding the kittens and puppies that are about to freeze to death from time to time in the cold winter, and then letting them go in the spring.

And this time it was a kitten he picked up last year.

When he first picked up this cat, it was only the size of two palms, and it was not only covered in blood, but even the fur on its body was mottled, and it seemed that it was about to die.

He saw that he was pitiful, so he took it home, put it by the stove for three days and three nights, and fed it with good goat's milk, so that he could come back to life.

However, after the kitten came back to life, it grew faster and faster, and the amount of food became larger and larger. So by the spring of the following year, the "kitten" had grown to the size of a lamb, much larger than the average cat.

At this time, Shopkeeper Lu realized that something was wrong, so he asked a nearby hunter to identify it, and then he realized that what he picked up was not a kitten at all, but looked like a mountain leopard.

It's okay to keep a cat at home, but how can you raise a leopard, just in the beginning of spring, Shopkeeper Lu put the leopard back into the nearby mountains and let it fend for itself.

The mountain leopard was obedient, and the shopkeeper Lu let it go, and it left.

However, less than a month later, when the shopkeeper Lu opened the door in the morning, he saw a wild boar that had been bitten to death and placed in front of his house.

He found the leopard's golden fur on the boar, and guessed that it was the leopard's prey that the leopard had sent him at night, probably to thank him for saving his life.

This matter quickly spread throughout the county, and people who knew the shopkeeper Lu said that he was a good person with good rewards, and he could even make the mountain leopard repay his kindness.

However, Shopkeeper Lu just smiled at these and continued to do his own good deeds.

Another month later, I saw another bison at the gate of the shopkeeper Lu, which was also sent by the mountain leopard.

Since then, every month, the mountain leopard will send prey to the shopkeeper Lu.

Shopkeeper Lu didn't do anything at first, but later, on this day of the month, he would put the Huadiao wine that the mountain leopard liked to drink at his house at the door, which was regarded as a return gift, as if relatives were walking around each other's houses.

This incident made the people of Lanzhou County secretly surprised, and they were full of curiosity about this legendary mountain leopard, and they wanted to see how he walked his relatives.

So some bold offspring hid in front of the door of the shopkeeper Lu on the day of the mountain leopard's visit, intending to witness this strange scene.

However, it is strange that no one has ever seen the mountain leopard arrive.

Sometimes, they only felt a yellow shadow flash from the door of the shopkeeper Lu's house, and then the prey appeared, and the Huadiao wine also disappeared.

So, the matter became more and more suspenseful, and in the end, some people said that the mountain leopard was the incarnation of the mountain god of the nearby Huangsong Mountain, which was to repay the favor of the shopkeeper Lu.

Although these are just people's speculations, and Shopkeeper Lu only laughed when he heard it, this matter is still known far and wide.

Especially when the gifts sent by the mountain leopard are becoming more and more expensive.

And for the last time, this mountain leopard actually sent a fire rat over!
