Chapter 57

"Kah."

"Kah."

"Kah."

Under a massive tree, a strong human circled around.

Qin Luoxia stood on a mountain not far from home.

It really wasn't far; at her current pace, she hadn't even reached the neighboring county.

The last time she passed by here.

She discovered there was a towering tree.

In a hurry, she didn't linger long.

But after returning home, she carefully recalled that it seemed there were eagles resting on that tree.

She came to this giant tree early in the morning.

Upon arrival, she circled around the big tree.

In the eyes of humans, it was just a beautiful woman circling around the tree, gazing upward, even with a touch of artistry.

In the eyes of animals, it was a bear-like creature circling the tree, seemingly intending to devour some animal on the tree.

The birds in the forest sounded quite alarmed.

She patiently waited.

When noon arrived with the scorching sun overhead, sure enough, a large eagle soared and descended from the sky.

Qin Luoxia held a self-made slingshot, crafted from the tendons of a python she had caught, tied onto a Y-shaped tree branch. She loaded stones into it, pulled back, and could shoot the stones out.

She had practiced for a long time.

As the eagle descended, she pulled back the snake tendons and released with force.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

She rapidly fired three stones.

A piercing shriek echoed from the sky, and then a massive eagle fell down, blood splattering.

In the village, since everyone was familiar, Qin Luoxia felt very at ease and unrestrained.

But when facing these young masters from the capital, Qin Luoxia still felt somewhat nervous, not daring to look at them much, feeling unworthy to speak. It would be better if her husband were here; he could converse with them.

Qin Luoxia tidied herself up and came to hold Mianmian.

She also dragged away her eldest daughter, who was still eyeing the desserts.

Jiang Yu: ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄

Jiang Mianmian contentedly nursed while cradled in her mother's arms until she saw her sister pull out a massive eagle from the basket her mother had used to carry wild vegetables.

"Pfft!" She choked on her milk!

So the saying about eagles snatching children wasn't just to scare people? This eagle was certainly large enough to snatch up a child.

Her mother's vegetable basket truly seemed like the Doraemon's pocket, containing not just vegetables but all sorts of things.

"Mother, the wings of such a large bird must be delicious," Jiang Yu said, swallowing her saliva.

He Chen and Meng Shaoxia, sitting under the large tree by the courtyard entrance, followed Jiang Yu's gaze inward.

Since the door was open, they could see everything at a glance.

The young lady was carrying a massive old eagle?? It looked to weigh several dozen pounds?? Such large eagles were rarely seen even in the sky. How did she catch it??

Their bows and arrows couldn't even reach that height, unless there was a world-renowned master archer.

Or they found the nest of such an eagle, but the nests of eagles this large were generally extremely high and treacherous, difficult to locate.

"This is for medicinal soup, to stew with tianma, it can treat illnesses. You all should drink more of it later," Qin Luoxia said happily.

As long as she did something good for her family, no matter how difficult, she felt it was worthwhile.

"Cough cough cough." Jiang Mianmian really did choke on her milk.

She had previously heard a diabetic patient say that stewing an old eagle with tianma could treat headaches. The patient had bought an old eagle and was sentenced to a year in prison. In prison, he ate on schedule, got sunlight on schedule, worked on schedule, and slept on schedule. After a year of release, his headaches were cured.

But after being released, he overate and drank excessively, developing diabetes.

Jiang Mianmian curiously looked at the massive old eagle; a single pot couldn't fit it all. It resembled the one that had flown out from the mountains that day, so enormous.

"Mother, how did you catch it? I can't even catch the little birds in the trees," Jiang Yu asked inquisitively.

Qin Luoxia held her daughter upright, her head resting on her shoulder, and gently patted her back.

After a few pats, she said, "I don't know how it was injured, but I saw it on the road and brought it back."

Jiang Yu: ......

Jiang Mianmian: ......
