Question about English (US)
"Listen, I don't know what you're doing skulking around during daylight hours, but I don't want any trouble here. So hit the road!"
I have two questions.
What does "hit the road" mean?
Does it mean "get out of here"?
"you're doing skulking"
I don't understand.
doing + doing.... why?
こそこそしてるしてる...
you are skulking around during...
I understand this.
I wonder why it needs "doing"?

You're right, "Hit the road" means "go away"
As for the second question, you're breaking the sentence in the wrong place:
"I don't know what you're doing + skulking around..."
In Japanese:
こそこそして+何のつもりか分からないけど…

Thank you so much!
I understand somewhat.
But it is difficult.
Could I ask one more question?
"I don't know"
Does this mean 'I don't care'?
象さんに被害が及ばないところでは、何をしても構わないが、店に被害が及ぶのは困ると、言っているのでしょうか？

Sorry, I maybe understood.
I don't know what's on your mind. ?
for example. Does this sound good?
I don't know what you're doing flattering me.
Are you hold out on me?
- English (US)
Yes, "I don't know what you're doing" in this case means "I don't know what you want to do" or "I don't know what you're thinking of doing".
Your sentence is correct.
