Chapter Eighty-Two: Training the Eagle
Upon returning home, Mengyao went to the kitchen to busy herself with lunch, while Gu Yu stayed in the courtyard, preparing to study methods for training the sea eagle and see if he could make this old eagle obedient.
If successful, it would be very fulfilling!
First, Gu Yu took out the box with the bells from his spatial dimension.
Then, he released the sea eagle.
After the sea eagle shrieked loudly, spread its wings wide, and threatened Gu Yu, Gu Yu took out the bells from the box and shook them wildly at the sea eagle.
However, shaking the bells didn’t work.
Because the sea eagle first glanced at him fiercely, then its sturdy and powerful claws gripped the ground, and it charged straight at Gu Yu, looking as if it wanted to kill him. Gu Yu had no choice but to run around the courtyard, shaking the bells in various ways, trying to make the sea eagle obedient.
Tang Wenshi had said before he died that these bells could train sea eagles.
But, from the looks of it now, it was completely ineffective!
However, perhaps because Gu Yu was holding the bells, the sea eagle didn’t flap its wings and escape, but kept chasing Gu Yu and biting him.
Finally, Gu Yu, annoyed by being chased by the sea eagle, decided to stop running.
Thinking of the vegetarian Little Black in his spatial dimension, Gu Yu directly took a carrot from his spatial dimension and threw it at the sea eagle.
The sea eagle mistook it for an attacking hidden weapon, and directly grabbed the carrot with its beak, then shook its head and flung the carrot into the air, throwing it to the ground on the side.
At the same time, it looked at Gu Yu as if with mockery, thinking that this human was too weak to attack it with such a thing.
Don’t even think about it, it’s destined to fail.
However, perhaps due to a delayed reaction, after the sea eagle bit into the carrot and the squeezed juice flowed into its mouth, it paused for a moment, then quickly flapped its wings and picked up the carrot again.
Then, with a few ‘crunch, crunch’ sounds, the sea eagle ate the entire carrot.
Afterwards, as if it hadn’t eaten enough, it looked at Gu Yu with its eagle eyes again.
“Stop! If you want to eat, then don’t scare me anymore.”
Just as the sea eagle was about to lift its foot to chase Gu Yu again, Gu Yu had another carrot in his hand, and he waved it at the sea eagle, indicating that if it wanted more carrots, it should behave.
When the sea eagle saw that Gu Yu still had carrots, it immediately stopped flapping its wings like before. Instead, it stood obediently in place, its once fierce gaze now full of longing, staring intently at the carrot with urgency.
Gu Yu chuckled at this.
Carrots soaked in spring water could make a bear vegetarian, let alone an eagle.
Afterward, having grasped the sea eagle’s weakness, Gu Yu began to slowly build a connection with the sea eagle using the carrots in his hand, wanting to get familiar with it through contact.
He didn’t ask the sea eagle to be close to him, just not to flap its wings and scare people.
“A Yu, I made a new dish today, come quickly and try it!”
“Mengyao, you go in first, I’m training the eagle! This sea eagle is particularly ferocious, but fortunately, I’m even more powerful and have successfully subdued this old eagle…”
When Mengyao came out of the kitchen and wanted to call Gu Yu to try the new dish, Gu Yu quickly told her to go back, lest she be scared by this fierce sea eagle.
At the same time, Gu Yu couldn’t help but show off a bit.
But before he could finish speaking, he saw the sea eagle hopping and running towards Mengyao. Before Gu Yu could say “oh no,” the sea eagle had already rubbed its head against Mengyao’s calf like a sycophant.
This made Gu Yu’s face turn completely black. He then looked down at the half carrot in his hand, thinking that this sea eagle was really infuriating!!!
As the saying goes, “eating someone’s food makes one’s mouth soft, and taking someone’s thing makes one’s hand weak.”
After he had fed it for a long time, as soon as Mengyao came out and did nothing, the sea eagle directly and obsequiously attached itself to her…
Just like that white fox, it seemed he’d have to feed them grass every day from now on.
“A Yu, what’s wrong with this sea eagle?”
“I don’t know, maybe it’s fond of you!”
“It wasn’t like this before Tang Wenshi died…”
“I guess it’s because its owner died, so the sea eagle regained its freedom and started to get close to you! However, Mengyao, you really have a way with animals!”
While speaking, Gu Yu thought about the white fox that had appeared at home at the beginning, and then looked at the sea eagle that was still rubbing against his leg, and thus concluded that the little wife was easily approached by animals.
Could it be that his wife was the king of beasts in her previous life, which is why she is so capable now…
“Not really! When I went hunting in the mountains before, those wild beasts didn’t show me any mercy… Don’t overthink it, come quickly and try the new dish.”
“Okay, I’m coming.”
Regarding Gu Yu saying she was good with animals, Mengyao was first puzzled, then shook her head at Gu Yu, indicating that she hadn’t noticed this phenomenon.
If animals really liked her, her hunting wouldn’t have been so difficult before.
However, Mengyao didn’t dwell on this matter for too long. She then beckoned to Gu Yu, asking him to come quickly and try the new dish to see how it tasted and if he liked it!
Compared to being good with animals, Mengyao preferred to hear Gu Yu praise her cooking, which could make her mood good for the entire day.
…
“Wow! Sister, is this old eagle really going to stay with us from now on?”
“Yes.”
In the afternoon, when Gu Yu picked up his younger brother-in-law from the academy, Gu Qingheng looked shocked when he saw the majestic sea eagle in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Xia Tian couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that Brother Qingheng was too exaggerated.
However, when she first saw Brother Gu training the eagle in the courtyard, she didn’t dare to leave her room… fearing being scratched by the eagle, she was really too timid.
“Sister, can I touch it?”
“Not for now, let’s talk about it after it gets familiar with the family!”
“Then does it have a name?”
After Gu Qingheng proposed to touch it, Gu Mengyao shook her head at her younger brother, not wanting him to take risks at this time.
Although the sea eagle was still rubbing against her legs now, it always showed an aggressive posture when facing Gu Yu, so it was too dangerous to approach it rashly at this time.
Gu Qingheng was not discouraged after being rejected by Gu Mengyao, after all, the sea eagle would always stay at home and wouldn’t run away.
However, Gu Qingheng then asked if the sea eagle had been named.
He wanted to give this sea eagle a majestic name!!!
“Yes, I named it ‘Dahai’! I came up with the name, what do you think.”
“…Why call it Dahai? This is an eagle, not a fish. I think it would be better…”
“Isn’t it called Hai Dongqing? It’s fine if I don’t call it Xiao Hai. The single character ‘Da’ is enough face for this old eagle.”
“…”
Ultimately, the sea eagle was named ‘Dahai’.
Through this renaming, Gu Qingheng clearly understood that Gu Yu really had no talent for naming. Next time if there were new animals in the family, he had to grab the naming rights first!!!
“Brother-in-law, did you contact the craftsmen?”
“Contact the craftsmen?”
“…When building the house before, Brother-in-law, you only asked the craftsmen to build two rooms. Now that Sister Xia Tian is here, we need to add another room, right? Or do you, Brother-in-law, want to keep sleeping with me…”
“Ah! I knew I forgot something, it was this matter! When I take you to school tomorrow, I’ll go to the market to find some craftsmen.”
After Mengyao and Xia Tian went to the kitchen to make dinner, Qingheng approached Gu Yu, wanting to ask about Sister Xia Tian’s room and if it could be built as soon as possible!
When he was playing with Sister Xia Tian before, she was very envious of those who could have a room… That’s why Qingheng was so concerned and wanted the craftsmen to finish building the room quickly so that Sister Xia Tian could move in as soon as possible.
He was even willing to use his private savings.
However, because there were no empty rooms, Sister Xia Tian was currently living with her sister. Perhaps they could build Sister Xia Tian’s house without using his private savings.
Because he wasn’t the most eager person now, it was Gu Yu…
As expected, as soon as Qingheng finished speaking, Gu Yu immediately raised his hand and patted his forehead, thinking that he had actually forgotten such an important matter, which was really inexcusable.
When he went to town tomorrow, he would quickly find craftsmen to build Xia Tian’s house, so that he could sleep with his little wife again.
Although they couldn’t do “shy” things yet, hugging Mengyao while sleeping was also very comfortable, much better than his younger brother-in-law tossing and turning constantly, and always kicking his feet over.
His sleeping posture was so restless, what would happen when he got married!
It would be funny if he kicked his wife off the bed.
Gu Yu thought about these things, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up. The sudden smile made Qingheng confused, wondering what his brother-in-law was laughing at???
“Gu Yu, Gu Yu, something has happened to the Yang family, you hurry over and take a look.”
Just as Qingheng was about to ask Gu Yu what he was laughing at, the village chief suddenly knocked on the courtyard door from outside with anxiety. The words he spoke immediately made Gu Yu’s smile disappear, and he didn’t know what the village chief meant by saying this.
He had already separated from the Yang family and severed all ties. To put it bluntly, even if all the people in the Yang family died, it would have nothing to do with him.
Why was the village chief looking for him now that something had happened to the Yang family???
“Village Chief, I have no relationship with the Yang family anymore, so even if something happens to the Yang family, it has nothing to do with me. Don’t come to me for such matters in the future, otherwise, you will no longer be welcome here.”
However, because it was the village chief himself who came, Gu Yu couldn’t not open the door.
But after opening the courtyard door, Gu Yu directly stated his thoughts, telling the village chief not to come over for Yang family matters in the future.
Even if something happened to the Yang family, did they still want him to help?
