Chapter 583: Chapter 587: Looking Down on Someone Too Much_1
It’s such a pity that the eagle died just like that, especially when you consider that an eagle lays two to five eggs, but usually only one survives. They face myriad dangers as they grow up.
So raising one isn’t easy, but thinking about its arrogant demeanor, it seems its death was well deserved.
Actually, the eagle itself is innocent; the mistake lies in the fact that it was raised by Xuan Eagle Mountain Village as a killing machine.
In the end, it’s the people of Xuan Eagle Mountain Village who deserve to die.
Tan Zhenghong chuckled foolishly, "What do you plan to do with this eagle?"
"The eagle’s beak, brain, and bones can be used for medicine. I’ll send them to Brother Bai San, and make the rest into jerky. I’ve never eaten eagle meat before."
Qiao Duo’er laid out her plan, which was basically to keep what was edible for herself and give the inedible parts to Bai Yifan for medicinal purposes.
Eagle bones can treat rheumatism and the brain can treat headaches, but she only had a vague impression and didn’t know exactly how to use them.
So it would be best to send them to Bai Yifan. Eagles are rare, so he would definitely be over the moon about it.
"Alright, I’ll take it back and clean it up."
Tan Zhenghong had just stood up when the pain made him bare his teeth and wince.
Qiao Duo’er quickly checked the wound on Tan Zhenghong’s back, fortunately, it was just a minor flesh wound. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"You’re still bleeding. Hurry back home and I’ll dress your wound."
Qiao Duo’er tried to lift the eagle, but it was too big and awkward to handle, so she could only drag it by a wing as she hauled it back.
Tan Zhenghong couldn’t bear to watch: "Wife, I’m really alright, let me do it."
He felt sorry for the eagle, too.
In life, it was the ruler of the skies, and yet in death, it was being treated like this; it probably wouldn’t rest in peace.
Tan Zhenghong unconsciously looked towards the eagle’s eyes, relieved to see they were closed.
"Shut up, can’t I even handle an eagle? You underestimate me too much!"
Qiao Duo’er puffed her cheeks while speaking, unaware that her face had turned red from the effort.
Tan Zhenghong said disdainfully, "This eagle must have been a lazy one, getting so fat that it’s worn out my wife."
Qiao Duo’er gave him a big roll of her eyes. He was injured and yet couldn’t keep still!
Tan Zhenghong offered to help, but the moment he put in any effort, it felt like his back wound was being torn open. Under Qiao Duo’er’s coercion and enticement, he had no choice but to give up.
The two of them hauling a giant eagle down the road attracted a lot of attention, and soon enough, a crowd came to gawk.
The eagle was dead, and this was a matter that delighted many hearts!
Instantly, Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong enjoyed treatment befitting heroes.
"Duo’er, Zheng Hong, you’ve really taken care of a menace for the people. You don’t know how annoying these beasts are—my family’s good chicken chicks were eaten clean by it."
"My family’s sheep were also taken by that beast!"
When it came to the eagle stealing poultry and livestock, the villagers bristled with resentment.
They toiled hard tilling the land, and if the crops were decent, it was just enough to feed their families; with a poor harvest, they had to rely on wild greens and rice husks to get by.
To earn some cash, they could only raise some poultry and livestock, yet after all the effort, they ended up feeding the beasts of Xuan Eagle Mountain Village. Could they not be angry?
But what good did anger do?
The next time an eagle came to snatch their poultry, they would still be powerless to stop it.
So their resentment built up over time, and now they finally found an outlet.
"It’s all because of those conscienceless people from Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, too stingy to feed the eagles, they let them out to harm us!"
"And it’s not all for the eagles to eat. When the eagles bring it back, it ends up in the mouths of those Mountain Bandits, doesn’t it?"
