Chapter 187 Man and Golden Eagle
Chuchu had been silently paying attention to Sun Ying's every move in the team. Now that she saw that she not only did not fall behind, but instead bravely moved forward, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
There was a glint of relief in her eyes. Recalling Sun Ying's desperate expression before, she knew that her medicine was not only to heal the pain of the body, but also to inject hope into a soul on the verge of collapse.
If Sun Ying really committed suicide again, all his efforts would be in vain, and a young life would be lost in this ruthless exile.
Li Qiuyue raised her head slightly and looked at the stream gradually disappearing into the distance. She felt a lot of emotions in her heart. She sighed softly and silently said in her heart, "It is better to live a miserable life than to die."
In her opinion, as long as there is life, even if you are in the abyss of darkness, there will always be a ray of light.
Just like what she and her grandfather had experienced over the years, after persevering through countless days and nights of humiliation and hardship, didn't they finally hope for a turning point?
Although this turning point was accompanied by the suffering of exile, at least they were still alive, and as long as they were alive, there was hope.
She slowly turned her head and looked at the donkey cart that was moving slowly forward. Her grandfather was lying on it with his eyes closed, resting.
His complexion looked much better than before, and a rosy glow gradually crept up his originally pale and thin face.
Seeing this, Li Qiuyue felt a little relieved and stopped disturbing them. She just prayed silently to God, hoping that the hardships along the way would pass soon so that these unfortunate people could have a new beginning.
……
The team struggled forward on the winding road, everyone dragging their exhausted bodies, and the only sounds around them were messy footsteps and heavy breathing.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from the sky, breaking the silence.
Everyone looked up in astonishment, only to see a huge golden eagle king coming towards them like a dark cloud. Its spread wings were over ten feet long, casting a huge shadow in the sunlight.
Huo Shuixian was originally trying to force herself to stay alert and hurry on her way, but when she saw the Golden Eagle King, she was so frightened that her face turned pale.
She had been avoiding Murong Ling'er during this period, and was extremely careful in her words and actions. She almost shrunk herself into a little quail, thinking that this would allow her to avoid the Golden Eagle King's "attention".
But now that the Golden Eagle King appeared again, she felt her legs go weak, as if all her strength had been drained away. She couldn't even stand steadily, let alone escape.
Huo Jianjie had been paying attention to the movements around him. When he spotted the Golden Eagle King, his heart tightened. He rushed over without hesitation, picked up the collapsed Huo Shuixian on his shoulders, and ran towards the big tree not far away like the wind.
Veins bulged on his forehead, sweat streamed down his cheeks, and fear surged in his heart like a tide, but his determination to protect his daughter made him do whatever it took.
The Golden Eagle King ignored the panic of the crowd and swooped down directly in the direction where Murong Ling'er was. Its speed was so fast that it caused a whistling sound in the wind.
As it approached, it cried out, "Woman, help!"
When Murong Ling'er heard the Golden Eagle King's cry, she was startled and quickly lifted the curtain and stood on the shaft.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the rushing golden eagle king in the dazzling sunlight. She saw that its previously majestic appearance seemed a little embarrassed, and there was a rare trace of panic and anxiety in its eyes.
The Golden Eagle King's cries became increasingly high-pitched. It flapped its wings desperately, trying to stabilize itself in the air, and kept shouting, "Woman, I've been killed trying to help you deliver someone!"
Everyone only heard the Golden Eagle King's sharp screams, and didn't know what was going on. They all thought that the bird of prey was here to provoke them again and they were immediately panicked.
Only Murong Ling'er, who listened attentively, understood the request for help in the Golden Eagle King's words and could not help but frown.
The Golden Eagle King circled in the air, shouting more and more urgently. The sharp voice was like a sharp arrow, piercing everyone's eardrums, making their faces pale as paper and running away in panic.
For a moment, the team was in chaos, with shouts and cries mixed together.
Murong Ling'er made a prompt decision and entrusted Murong Chen to Chu Lingfeng beside her. She tapped her lotus feet lightly, her figure as light as a swallow, and soared into the air. Her clothes fluttered in the wind. She drew a graceful arc in the air and landed steadily on the broad back of the Golden Eagle King.
"You woman, why are you so slow? I've been calling you for so long, and you've only just come to your senses!" The Golden Eagle King muttered dissatisfiedly, his huge head shaking slightly.
"Don't say too much, just leave first, otherwise something might happen." Murong Ling'er raised her jade hand and patted the Golden Eagle King lightly on the head to stop it from complaining.
The Golden Eagle King did not dare to delay. Its sharp eagle eyes caught a glimpse of a man on the ground, with an upright posture and a calm expression. Although it had doubts in its heart, it had no time to investigate.
Then it let out a long cry that shook the sky, flapped its wings vigorously, turned around and flew back the way it came.
Murong Ling'er's action shocked those who had never seen her tame the Golden Eagle King. They stared at the sky in amazement.
The Golden Eagle King, carrying Murong Ling'er, gradually disappeared into the sky.
Seeing Qi Feng standing there like a wooden sculpture, Yuan Zhiqiang hurried to his side and said anxiously, "Master Qi, the female convict you're guarding has escaped on an eagle. What should we do? Why don't you give chase?"
Chifeng was immersed in thinking about the relationship between the Golden Eagle King and Murong Ling'er. He was stunned by Yuan Zhiqiang's sudden words and did not respond for a while.
Yuan Zhiqiang looked at Chifeng standing in front of him like a wooden chicken, motionless, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
He frowned, walked quickly to Chifeng's side, and shouted anxiously, "Master Qi! Look at you now, are you scared out of your wits? I tell you, that female prisoner took the opportunity to escape! Why are you still standing here like an idiot?"
As he spoke, Yuan Zhiqiang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Chifeng's eyes, trying to wake him up.
After a long while, Chifeng finally woke up from his dream. He slowly raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhiqiang, who looked anxious. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then, Chifeng said calmly, "Master Yuan, don't panic. Miss Murong didn't run away. She went to help the Golden Eagle King."
Hearing this, Yuan Zhiqiang was stunned at first, then his eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
He shouted in disbelief, "Wha...what? Lord Qi, are you confused? What connection could there be between a woman and a golden eagle? How could they possibly cooperate with each other?"
After saying this, he turned around abruptly and looked towards the sky. However, the sky was empty at this moment, where was the shadow of a person or bird?
Yuan Zhiqiang turned his head suspiciously and set his gaze on Chifeng again, staring at him closely, as if trying to find some clues from his face.
However, Chifeng still had a smile on his face and looked calm, not at all shaken by Yuan Zhiqiang's doubts.
Now, Yuan Zhiqiang felt even more confused. He really couldn't understand what kind of tacit understanding and interaction there was between the man and the sculpture that could make Chifeng say such words with such confidence.
Seeing Yuan Zhiqiang's face full of surprise and confusion, Chifeng did not explain further. He knew very well that Murong Ling'er's ability could not be explained in a few words, and the truth would be revealed in the future.
After a brief disturbance, the team reorganized and set off again.
Yuan Zhiqiang's mind was still a mess along the way. The strange scene of the Golden Eagle King and Murong Ling'er kept lingering in his mind, and he couldn't let it go for a long time.
