The Golden Eagle’s sharp cry was very loud.
Mrs. Xiao Li’s intention naturally came up short. She could only throw away the bamboo basket in her hand, pretend to find something, and quickly retreat from the storage room.
Just as she was coming out of the storage room, Old Yuan and his five sons rushed out of the main house upon hearing the eagle’s scream.
"What are you up to, fourth daughter-in-law?"
Old Yuan, upon seeing Mrs. Xiao Li coming out of the storage room, instinctively felt that this daughter-in-law might have done something to the Golden Eagle.
"I, I was just taking something!"
With so many people staring at her, Mrs. Xiao Li also panicked.
However, she quickly calmed down, after all, that damned Gold Eagle was perfectly fine, and she was holding a set of fried dough molds.
Mrs. Xiao Li shook the fried dough molds in her hand to show her innocence.
Seeing this, Old Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this was only because Old Yuan had drunk too much and his mind was a bit slow. Otherwise, based on Mrs. Xiao Li’s obvious cover-up, she would not have escaped the old man’s keen eyes.
"You better be careful, that Golden Eagle is very fierce!"
Yuan Zhaodi gave Mrs. Xiao Li a meaningful glance.
Old Yuan didn’t notice anything wrong with Mrs. Xiao Li, but Yuan Zhaodi, as Mrs. Xiao Li’s husband, immediately understood something was off with his wife.
Still, Yuan Zhaodi didn’t tear apart the façade, choosing instead to give Mrs. Xiao Li some face.
After everyone dispersed, Yuan Bao and his cousins also returned home.
When they entered the storage room and saw the Golden Eagle wasn’t on its perch, they were startled, and then the eagle’s cry sounded from the beam.
Hearing the Golden Eagle’s cries, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Bao, holding a sparrow, waved at the Golden Eagle.
"Da Jin, come on, eat!"
Yuan Bao called while waving the sparrow in his hand.
Compared to You Cang’s more elegant name, Yuan Bao’s name for the Golden Eagle was down-to-earth.
The Golden Eagle was so big, it was called Da Jin.
Although the cousins thought the name didn’t match the eagle’s majestic form, opposition was futile. Googlᴇ search novel_fіre.net
The Golden Eagle was brought back by Yuan Bao, so the naming rights naturally fell to him.
The Golden Eagle tilted its head and looked at Yuan Bao for a moment, then spread its wings and landed back on the tool rack in the storage room.
Thus, the little sparrow in Yuan Bao’s hand met the end of its poor bird life.
"Jiaojiao, mine, mine!"
After the Golden Eagle ate the sparrow in Yuan Bao’s hand, the second cousin, Yuan Shoucheng, excitedly handed his sparrow to Yuan Bao, signaling her to feed it to the eagle.
"Second cousin, the Golden Eagle hasn’t finished eating yet!"
The sparrow may be small, but the eagle couldn’t swallow it in one go.
Following that, Yuan Bao and the others set up camp in the storage room.
Each time the Golden Eagle finished eating one sparrow, another would be handed over.
Unfortunately, by the time the feeding ended, neither Yuan Shoucheng nor anyone else managed to touch it.
Mainly because Yuan Bao didn’t dare to act rashly, as this eagle was newly rescued and not familiar. If it suddenly turned fierce and pecked or clawed her cousin, Yuan Bao couldn’t bear the responsibility.
After feeding the Golden Eagle, Yuan Bao was also tired.
After all, she was a little child under two years old, and didn’t have as much energy as her cousins.
Back in the main room, Yuan Bao wasn’t affected by her own grandfather and uncles drinking and talking, and quickly fell asleep, as the bed was very warm.
Originally, Old Yuan and his sons were leisurely drinking, but to not disturb Yuan Bao’s sleep, they changed their drinking location.
Normally, they would just move Yuan Bao to another room to sleep, but the old man stubbornly opted for a more troublesome solution.
This showed Yuan Bao’s special favoritism.
