Chapter 173: Mountain Eagle: Fledgling Complex (16)
On the first day of the first lunar month, Song Zijin received four big red envelopes and was so happy that he was brimming with joy.
On the second day of the first lunar month, a group of five people went out to the market. The Dai costumes were colorful, and the girls were beautiful and the boys were handsome, which dazzled them.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Song Qian began to buy local specialties in large quantities. He went to only small specialty shops that were known only to locals and would not cheat outsiders.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, before the highway became congested, the Song Qian family said goodbye to Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang and started their return journey.
If he doesn’t leave now, the Phantom, who has been alone at home holding onto the cage rails for three days, will get angry and rebel…
No one knew where the two large boxes of pounded chicken feet that were used as snacks in the refrigerator had gone. The doors and windows were all closed, and there was only one living creature in the house - the cute little Phantom.
It couldn't have gotten out of the cage and climbed into the refrigerator to steal food, right?!
【Ah——】
Hey, you were half right.
I climbed into the refrigerator, but didn't steal any food. I put both the box and the chicken feet into the refrigerator.
(?′︶`?)
Hiccup~
This stuff is so delicious, I have to stock up!
On the way back, Xiaotuantuan was still in charge of navigation.
Song Zijin had five winter vacation homework books spread out in front of her. If she worked overtime, she could finish them in three days at most.
Of course, given his procrastinating nature, the timeline would have to be extended to at least a week.
Lin Xiaorou knew very well that once she sent him back to her grandparents' house, this brat would delay doing his homework until the night before school started, and would stay up late to write nonsense.
That must not be possible!
[Don't fill in the answers randomly. I'll check them later. If you get the questions wrong, find another notebook and copy them ten times. You can have a bad grade, but your attitude must be correct. When it comes to studying, you are only fooling yourself! ]
Song Zijin hummed dejectedly, like an eggplant hit by frost, and composed words and sentences with a sad face.
[If you don’t know how to do it, you can ask. It’s just a third-grade question. I, your mom, can still do it!!!]
Song Qian listened to the mother and daughter whispering behind him and felt amused.
This is the happy family that everyone in the dormitory envied and dreamed of back then.
The holidays always pass by so quickly. As soon as Song Zijin got home, he immediately went to his grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings with gifts.
I also visited other relatives' homes one by one, filling my pockets with red envelopes of all sizes.
As for grandpa and grandma, they are still dancing around a bonfire on a tropical beach somewhere, having a great time.
By the time Song Zijin finally got around to doing her homework, there were only two days left before school started.
(._.) So disappointed...
【Ah——】
Dad, look, I have grown some big, thick feathers. I will be able to soar into the sky soon!
Song Qian pushed the little fellow who was avoiding taking a bath by talking about other things into the basin, rubbed out dense bubbles and applied them evenly on the little fellow. The gray-brown little vulture turned into a fat white pigeon in the blink of an eye.
It's just that the top of my head is so bald that the bubbles can't stay on and all slide down...
[Hahahaha! You shave even cleaner than I did with a razor...]
【Ah——】
w(?Д?)wAre you polite? !
My pointed beak can poke through rocks and steel plates, would you like to try it with your bald head? !
When Song Qian heard this threat, he immediately sat up straight and his hands became more gentle.
The scene in the documentary of flocks of vultures tearing the internal organs of animals is still vivid in my mind. I was so scared that I dared not do anything rash...
Before Song Zijin even had his summer vacation, Phantom was able to take off in a crooked manner.
Although it doesn’t fly high…
Like a baby learning to walk, he fell and got a bump all over his head.
The little guy's cries have lost their babyish tone, and they scared the neighbors so much that they called to complain in the middle of the night. The property management company went to the house several times but couldn't find the culprit.
Apart from apologizing to everyone, Song Qian could only take Meiying out frequently, sometimes for three to five days, sometimes for a month...
[Can you please stop walking like that? It's a bit vulgar, like a thief about to steal a bicycle...]
Song Qian was speechless, and even wanted to give Meiying some simple military training, such as marching with head held high and chest puffed out? !
It's better than it stretching its head, pressing its neck, arching its back, swaying left and right, and walking with its big wings raised like it doesn't recognize anyone...
【Ah——】
Ah!
I can’t do it!
These woolen trousers of mine are so thick and dense that it's impossible for me to stand at ease or at attention!
Goose-stepping? No way. My center of gravity is unstable. I will fall if I stand on one foot!
It's so funny. The hot and sour pounded chicken feet I secretly stockpiled at Manjiulong are of no use at all. Luckily, I didn't keep any and finished them all!
[Tomorrow we'll go to a nice place where you can run as much as you want! ]
The good place Song Qian mentioned was a manor, privately owned by Lin Xiaorou's distant cousin.
My cousin is Lin Shan, a young and promising man. He took advantage of the short video trend and made a fortune in the past few years by selling goods through live streaming.
It's just that he always forgot to eat when he was busy, and his stomach became sick from hunger. So, he decided to give himself a half-year vacation and take good care of his stomach in the manor.
Song Qian had been to that manor several times. It was located on the outskirts of the city and covered a large area, big enough for horse racing. Phantom, a young mountain eagle that could not fly high yet, could gallop all over the place.
When they arrived at the manor, the Phantom didn't dare to fly at first. It only flew two or three meters off the ground and circled around Dad's head.
Song Qian hooked his hand, held it and climbed up the cliff behind the mountain, then threw it far away from a height with a ruthless heart.
Just like in the cartoon, the eagle kicks its own son out of the nest, simple and brutal.
Either fall to death or soar into the sky.
【Ah——】
︿(￣︶￣)︿
As soon as my wings spread, I glided far away.
w(?Д?)wWow~
Stimulate! ! !
It’s not difficult to go to heaven!!!
In the city, I can only stay at home and even if I shout, the neighbors will come to trouble me. It’s so frustrating...
That day, the little guy almost went crazy with play.
Lin Shan held a cup of black tea, his eyes fell on the phantom hovering freely in the sky, his face full of envy.
[Brother-in-law, where did you pick up this bird? Tell me the coordinates. I'll try my luck there someday. This is much more impressive than raising a starling or a thrush!]
Song Qian glanced at him unhappily.
[Come on, I'm going to release it. It's really unfair to keep it by my side. Although you have a spacious place, once the Forestry Bureau finds out that you're keeping vultures privately, you'll be in big trouble... Lin Shan, don't have any bad ideas and take good care of your stomach!]
During the two days at the manor, the Phantom almost refused to stop spreading its wings except when invited to come down to eat meat.
Lin Shan took a tape measure and measured it, and found that the wingspan was nearly three meters.
[No wonder he can fly so high! If I had these wings, I could fly too!]
【Ah——】
o(￣ヘ￣o＃) Humph, you’re dreaming!
Half a month later, Song Qian's RV drove to the desert where he had encountered the Phantom.
As far as the eye could see, there were only bare stones, with occasional rustling sounds. The other party dodged too quickly, and Song Qian couldn't see clearly what it was.
【Ah——】
It was just me and my dad. I was free to jump around in the car on the way without being restrained. As soon as the door opened, I flew out.
Dad said, this is where I was born, why don’t I have any memory of it?
Hey, what is that, a gray fox!!!
Without thinking, I swooped down, almost reflexively treating it as prey.
It looks small from a distance, and is actually only slightly smaller than a local dog. The gray fox is super ferocious, with its teeth bared and fur standing on end, and it jumps half a meter high!
Song Qian took a telescope and accidentally captured this scene——
[Hey, it’s the nature of birds of prey. They can actually hunt on their own. Aren’t vultures said to only eat things that can’t move?! What’s going on?! ]
【Ah——】
I only eat and don't move, but it actively attacks me. Am I supposed to stand there and take the beating?
That must not be possible!!!
Since I fought with my mouth, no one cheered me on, and for a moment, even though the fight was going fiercely, the battlefield was still eerily quiet except for the yellow sand all over the sky.
The gray fox had several bloody holes on its body, but it didn't retreat but advanced, opening its mouth wide and biting my wings fiercely...
Roar, you have no moral principles!!!
Rage value MIN■■■■■□□MAX (｀Д′●)
I babble, I babble, I babble!!!
Only Song Qian discovered the reason why the gray-haired fox refused to give in——
In a crevice at the back, there were a few little foxes with bulging bellies poking their heads out. On the ground lay a sheep with its legs up in the air. It had been bitten to pieces, with only half of its body left.
It turned out that the gray fox thought that the Phantom was here to steal the children's food. No wonder...
【Ah——】
After all, I had zero practical experience. My left wing was bitten and it hurt every time I moved.
┭┮﹏┭┮
Woo woo, I was a little exhausted, and I couldn’t fly, and I crashed into the rocks crookedly.
The gray fox was a good hunter, good at sneak attacks, and it pounced and bit my neck from the side...
I TMヽ(°◇° )ノ
【Phantom!!!】
Song Qian's roar came from a distance, and the gray-haired fox was so scared that it used all its strength to bite off the neck vertebra of a bird.
[Crack] With a sound——
Song Qian threw away the telescope and ran over quickly. The gray-haired fox howled and retreated, calling a few of the younger ones to run away quickly.
【Ah——】
I was thrown to the ground, blood gushing out of the wound on my neck.
The sheep with only half of its body left was just within reach. As long as I opened my mouth, I could bite its tail.
I put it into my space before my consciousness faded. I must take dry food with me even if I die!!!
Ugh……
Goodbye, Dad!
The young mountain eagle who understood the laws of survival in nature in the most tragic way - Phantom, died!
