Chapter 17: Is It Easy for Me?
"Ren Kuo, do you really want to climb up, why don't you call the hunters in the village?" Tumen looked at Ren Kuo's resolute eyes and said worriedly again.
"No, I can do it myself!" stubbornness, firmness, and persistence are in Ren Kuo's consciousness, and he will never be absent.
Ren Kuo handed the snow fox to Tumen and told him that if he really stumbled and unfortunately fell, he must take care of her like his own mother.
Snow Fox looked at Ren Kuo worriedly, his round eyes filled with tears.
Ren Kuo glanced at the head wolf, and rarely saw a trace of worry in its eyes, Ren Kuo raised his hand and touched its head, while the head wolf lowered his head and rubbed his face.
Suddenly, all this made Ren Kuo feel that this trip might be really ominous, but his immature face was still full of determination, and this trip was like fate...
Ren Kuo turned around and waved his hand, signaling everyone to rest assured, but in their eyes, it was like saying goodbye, so he abandoned what he thought in his heart and resolutely climbed the cliff.
It's an isolated cliff, and with an eagle's nest halfway up to the waist, there's no shortcut.
The cliffs are black throughout, weathered all year round, with a slightly smooth surface and only a few small points of focus, which is why adult hunters simply cannot climb them, which should be the reason why eagles choose to nest here.
Ren Kuo sometimes grasps the rocks protruding from the cliff, sometimes grasps the crater of the cliff that only one finger can enter, and steps on the point of gravity that his hand has grasped, and climbs slowly and difficult step by step.
A whole hour passed, Ren Kuo finally approached the eagle's nest, during which he stepped on the empty rock several times and almost fell, the snow fox bit the hand of the earth gate, and never let go, the earth gate did not say a word, held his breath, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and the head wolf was restless, constantly spinning in place.
Ren Kuo approached the crooked neck tree, this tree is afraid that it is thousands of years old, full of vicissitudes, he touched the trunk rooted in the cliff, strangely, Ren Kuo actually felt a trace of warmth swimming all over his body, a warm day, the years of quiet feeling hit his heart, there seems to be the sound of Daoyin Sanskrit.
The eagle continued to wander in space, making a loud chirp from time to time, and the chirping became more rapid than before, Ren Kuo knew in his heart that the time for the falcon to break out of its shell was approaching.
Ren Kuo quickly grabbed a half-dead branch of the crooked neck tree, slowly climbed up the trunk, in order to avoid being discovered by the eagle in the sky, Ren Kuo hugged the trunk, clinging to the rough bark, and crawled slowly towards the eagle's nest.
I once heard Orion say that when the falcon breaks the shell, the female eagle will guard the eagle's nest and provide enough incubation temperature, Ren Kuo is worried about alarming the female eagle in it, her breathing is as thin as a gossamer, and her vigilant eyes are constantly watching the eagle's nest.
Beside a thick branch close to the eagle's nest, Ren Kuo stopped, he hid behind the branch, slowly looked towards the eagle's nest, and found that there was no female eagle in it, so Ren Kuo looked up, and a question was born in his heart.
"Could it be that it is not the male eagle hovering high in the sky, but the female eagle?"
According to Orion, it should be the female eagle hatching in the nest at this time, and the male eagle hovering high in the sky to warn, but there is no female eagle in the nest at this time, which makes Ren Kuo a little confused.
"The temperature of this hatching should be provided by this crooked neck tree, so there is no need for the female eagle to hatch, so where has the female eagle gone now?" Ren Kuo thought to himself.
"Don't care so much about it first, take this eagle egg first, otherwise it will hatch before he sees Tumen, then he will cry again, and it will be annoying to think about it!" Ren Kuo gritted his teeth and reached out to get the eagle egg.
Suddenly, the voice of the call appeared again, this time even stronger, as if it was right in front of him, Ren Kuo glanced at the eagle's nest, but found nothing unusual.
Just as he retracted his gaze and was about to continue to take the eagle egg, a halo of light attracted his attention, Ren Kuo looked along this halo, not far from the eagle egg, there was a dark and deep, irregularly shaped jade piece, it seemed that it was this jade piece calling him.
Ren Kuo took it in his hand, the feeling of calling suddenly disappeared, and the halo emitted by the jade piece also disappeared, but the jade piece was emitting heat, thinking about whether the warmth of this crooked neck tree and the eagle's nest came from this jade piece?
Ren Kuo put away the jade piece and left it for study at home, and he set his eyes on the eagle egg again.
There is only one eagle egg in the eagle's nest, the size of an adult's fist, showing a gray and white color, under a closer look, the shell has a slight crack, and the eagle egg will shake slightly from time to time, seeing this scene, Ren Kuo did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately went to grab it.
At the moment when Ren Kuo came into contact with the eagle egg, he only heard a particularly harsh sound of "hiss" ringing in his ears, and Ren Kuo's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, not daring to get any closer.
At this time, Ren Kuo's eyes looked down, and Tumen kept waving his arms below, not knowing what to shout in his mouth, and seemed to be very emotional.
A cold breath came out of Ren Kuo's heart, which instantly flowed all over his body, and then the cold hair stood on end, and a layer of goosebumps appeared.
Yes, it was right behind it, and it must have been staring at the back of its head with that sharp gaze.
It must not be the eagle hovering high in the sky, because of the previous breath, the eagle is still chirping high in the sky, so what is it?
The female eagle, Ren Kuo scolded himself in his heart, stupid! How could there be no female eagle? It doesn't necessarily have to be in the nest, so where did it come from? Why didn't you find it all the way?
Cliffs, black cliffs, isn't this the natural hiding place of the female eagle? Ren Kuo scolded himself again in his heart, stupid!
The eagle is really cunning! It is worthy of being the overlord of the sky, male and female, one bright and one dark, which makes people unguardable!
Ren Kuo hurriedly calmed himself down, when facing the Steppenwolf wolf pack, he survived, what is this?
What exactly should be done at this point?
Then the eagle above will swoop down, first pecking him blind, and then the two eagles will strike back and forth, and finally he will either fall to his death or become a greeting gift for the falcon to break out of its shell.
Turn around and give it the middle finger? Anyway, you can't beat it, let alone escape, it's better to defeat it in dignity and trample on it, but what's the use of that? It's better to go back and fight with it.
Turn around and beg for mercy on your knees? Pull it down, it knows how to use a hammer! It will eventually become a lunch for their family of three.
What to do?
Why doesn't it do it yet?
It seems slow to talk a lot, but in fact, these thoughts only flashed in Ren Kuo's mind.
"I feel the air stagnant again, why does this kind of thing always happen to me?" Ren Kuo's indignation shouted in his heart.
"Do I Ren Kuo really want to explain here? I went out today to see the Yellow Calendar, saying that everything went well, and I went out to pick up treasures, who made up the broken Yellow Calendar? I picked up a hammer and greeted his ancestors..."Ren Kuo scolded angrily in his heart.
Ren Kuo slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the moment to decide his fate.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed towards him, "Is this about to start?" Ren Kuo's heart was completely cold.
More than a dozen breaths passed, and the imaginary pain did not come, "Did you let yourself go?" Ren Kuo suddenly ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Ren Kuo opened his eyes, "What's the trouble?" The little hope in Ren Kuo's heart was instantly extinguished.
It turned out that the eagle hovering in the air had fallen, and was standing opposite Ren Kuo, shaking his head to look at Ren Kuo, with vigilance against humans and coveting his prey in his eyes.
I saw that the eagle was the size of an adult antelope, and its wings were stretched out, as if to cover the sky and the sun.
The eagle has come down, has the falcon come out? Ren Kuo glanced at the eagle egg, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glad that the falcon had not yet broken out of its shell.
"Hmm, when is it, I'm thinking about this! Is Tumen my father? stupid..."Ren Kuo scolded himself again in his heart.
Just when Ren Kuo was about to close his eyes and wait for the judgment of fate, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and hope was ignited again, and he thought of a unique skill of human beings, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and immediately threw it out.
I saw him take out the jade piece that was still emitting heat from his pocket, hold it in the palm of his hand, hand it to the eagle in front of him with a smile, and said:
"I'm actually here to say hello to you..."
