The old hunter in the village had leopard skin. Every winter, the old hunter would spread it on the bed, and sleep on it was warmer than any cotton wool.

This leopard skin was wide and complete, its fur was fine and flat, and the markings were clear. Someone in the village had been thinking about this leopard skin and wanted to buy it at a high price, but it was rejected by the old hunter.

Leopards in Qingfu Mountain were cunning and difficult to hunt. There were many hunters in the nearby villages, but not many people could take out decent leopard skins.

The origin of this leopard skin is also somewhat tortuous.

One winter, the old hunter and his brother Wang Liuzi went hunting in Qingfu Mountain again. As soon as the two walked outside Qingfu Mountain, they were stopped by real-world friends Hu.

Hu grabbed a shotgun and caught up with Wang Liuzi, panting. He said to the old hunter and Wang Liuzi, "Oh, your two brothers came just in time. Hurry, follow me."

Hu Yizhi also often went into the mountains to hunt, and they were old friends with each other. Although the two of them did not understand why, Hu Yizhi's expression could be seen, and he immediately followed. Wang Liuzi, who was walking in front, was anxious and hurriedly asked what had happened.

Hu took two breaths before telling the two of them that a leopard had come out of Qingfu Mountain and had just been caught stealing a sheep in the village and had injured a leg. In a panic, he was driven into the forest at the end of the village. This forest is too big, and the village is organizing people to search for mountains.

The old hunter was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask in doubt, "I'm afraid this is not easy to handle. That tree forest is not small, just for a leopard, it is worth fighting so much?"

Hu shook his head and said, "This beast is very hateful." It not only harmed countless poultry and livestock, but also injured a child. The villagers have long hated it, but this beast is extremely cunning.

The old hunter suddenly realized that domestic animals were no more likely to be eaten than wild animals. The leopard probably knew this, so he frequently entered the village to do evil. This kind of wounding beast is indeed unforgivable.

The three rushed to the edge of the forest. Everyone had guns in their hands, and they were not afraid of the leopard at all. One of them chose a direction and plunged into the forest.

In winter, the woods had a relatively wide field of vision. The old hunter still didn't dare to take it lightly. He carefully shuttled through the woods with his gun in his hand.

The old hunter trusted his instincts and immediately stopped to look around, but the forest was quiet and quiet, except for trees of different sizes.

The old hunter thought for a while with a dark face, and suddenly raised his head to look at a big tree not far away. Through the mottled leaves, he met the eyes of a pair of beasts.

The old hunter was taken aback and thought to himself that the leopard was really cunning and actually climbed up the tree to hide. If he happened to be ambushed while standing under the tree, his life would be in danger.

The leopard on the opposite side was shocked when he saw the muzzle of the old hunter. It seemed that he did not expect the old hunter to find himself. He hurriedly jumped to a nearby tree, and with the help of the big tree, he quickly jumped down the ground and fled downhill.

"The leopard is here!"

The old hunter let out a roar, regardless of whether anyone heard it or not. He put away his gun and chased after it. After chasing for a while, he found that the leopard had run out of the forest and rushed down the mountain.

The old hunter followed him down the mountain and looked around at the surroundings at a loss. The terrain at the foot of the mountain was flat and the field of vision was wide, and there was no way for the leopard to run in any direction. How could it disappear for no reason?

The old hunter was full of doubts. He looked at the few houses in front of him and wondered if this leopard knew that his legs and feet were injured and ran to the haystack of the house to hide?

The old hunter was also familiar with the three families at the foot of the mountain. The old hunter wanted to go and say hello first, but he saw that the doors of several families were closed, not like someone was at home, so the old hunter looked around the house.

When he walked to a chicken coop, he found that the door was open, and it was a little dark inside. The old hunter wondered if the leopard would get in, so he stretched out his hand to push open the wooden door, but with a slight push, the door shook and didn't open, and there seemed to be something inside.

The old hunter let out a sigh in his heart, ready to use force again, when two old coughs suddenly came from the chicken coop to show that there was someone inside.

The old hunter was like a frightened rabbit, hastily withdrawing his hands and retreating.

As he stepped back, he saw clothes flashing through the crack in the door. A person seemed to squat and move over, closing the door with a bang on his back.

The old hunter was apologetic and quickly explained the reason to the people inside, but the people inside didn't say anything even though the old hunter broke his mouth.

The old hunter thought to himself, it is estimated that this person is still going to the toilet inside, and it is inconvenient to speak. Maybe he is also angry and does not want to pay attention to himself. No matter what, this matter is indeed his fault.

The old hunter hurriedly paid a few kind words before turning around to search for other places, but after turning around, there was no sign of the leopard again, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

The old hunter thought something was wrong. He clearly saw that the leopard didn't go to other places, so why did it disappear?" Could it be that the leopard still escape?

The old hunter thought wildly, shook his head, and was ready to go to other places to have a look. After walking a few steps, a scream sounded behind the house.

"Oh! Why is the leopard here?"

The old hunter's face changed, and without saying a word, he ran over to find the sound, bypassed the two rooms, and saw an old man opposite the chicken coop who was terrified, trembling and retreating step by step.

The old hunter followed the old man's gaze. Sure enough, there was a leopard in the corner of the chicken coop who was grinning at people, showing his ferocious light, but the leopard was stuck and could not move at all.

"Granny Zhang, don't be afraid, this leopard can't come out!" The old hunter comforted him, took out the machete at his waist, took a few steps forward, and slashed the leopard with a knife.

The old hunter thought to himself that it was really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get them. He thought that the leopard had left here long ago, and he didn't want to hide in the chicken coop and get stuck when he came out, so he let himself pick up a bargain.

In the village, there was usually a hole in the corner of the chicken coop. The hole was not big, only enough for poultry to enter and exit, so it was convenient for them to return to the house and lay eggs. The leopard was too big, so how could it not be stuck if it was forced out through the hole?

The old hunter was about to enter the house and drag the leopard out when a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he secretly thought that the leopard was in the chicken coop, and someone was in the chicken coop just now. The people in the dark place are not the leopard's opponent. The old hunter hurriedly ran to the door of the chicken coop and pushed open the wooden door with force.

The room was a little dark and damp. The old hunter looked around and couldn't find anyone inside. He was relieved, but when he saw appearance of the leopard, he was shocked again.

The leopard was wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket, which was exactly what he had seen from the crack in the door just now.

How did the person's clothes end up on the leopard?

The old hunter turned to look at Granny Zhang at the door and asked, "Granny Zhang, was there anyone in the chicken coop just now?""

Granny Zhang shook her head and said, "I'm the only one at home, and I went to work in the fields just now. The old man has been suffering from asthma again recently, and he coughs non-stop all day long. I asked him to go to town to buy medicine this morning.

The old hunter was suddenly surprised when he heard this. Just now, he clearly heard someone coughing in the chicken coop and saw the clothes shaking and closing the door. How could there be no one?

Granny Zhang looked at the old hunter's puzzled appearance and asked what was going on. The old hunter told him what had just happened.

Granny Zhang's face was full of shock. "The sky is clear, is there a ghost in the house?"

"It's just that this broken cotton-padded jacket really belongs to the old man. Because the hens incubated their eggs, they used it to make a chicken nest for the hens."

The old hunter calmed down and carefully reviewed what happened just now, and told Granny Zhang calmly: "This is definitely not haunted, 80% of it is this leopard who has become a spirit!"

The leopard was chased here. Knowing that his legs and feet were injured, it was inconvenient to run in a flat place, so he got into the chicken coop and hid. He put on the broken cotton-padded jacket in the chicken coop and was about to close the door.

The reason he didn't answer when he spoke was probably that he couldn't speak human words at all, it just learned the sound of human coughing.

After confirming that the person had left, Leopard wanted to go out and escape. Who knew that the wooden door was too tight and could not be opened with its claws? The Leopard did not have hands like humans and could pull it apart from the inside, so it had to go out of the chicken hole.

Granny Zhang couldn't help but be amazed after listening to the old hunter's analysis. It was no wonder that the leopard had not been caught after entering the village so many times. Who would have thought that it had become a spirit and already had spirituality?

The old hunter sighed, but this spirituality was useless and came to the village to do evil, otherwise how could he die tragically!

Granny Zhang looked at the clothed leopard with a worried look on her face and asked the old hunter, "This leopard has become a spirit, and you killed it again. Will something ominous happen?"

The old hunter waved his big hand and chuckled, "Is this leopard justified? I killed him to kill people. So many strange things happened in Qingfu Mountain, if I were afraid, I wouldn't hunt."

Granny Zhang was relieved when she heard that this was reasonable.

The old hunter peeled off the broken cotton-padded jacket on the leopard and threw it back into the chicken nest, then pulled it out of the hole with force. When Wang Liuzi came down the mountain, the two carried the leopard back home.

When he returned home, the old hunter skinned the leopard, but there was something the old hunter couldn't understand. How did the leopard put the broken cotton-padded jacket on him?
