Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 220 Hatching the Peregrine Falcon!

"thump."

I saw a huge tiger suddenly fall to the ground, heavily lying on the ground, without a breath left.

"Hoohoo!"

Xu Binghu sat paralyzed on the ground, breathing in the air in big gulps, his huge pupils slowly shrinking to normal size.

After surviving the disaster, he still felt a little bit of disbelief and fear when looking at the prey he had killed.

The intimidating aura just now, even for a tiger that had just given birth and had experienced a war before, the sense of oppression was something he had never felt before.

It can be said that in all the more than 20 years of hunting, the threats I have received have never been as numerous as this time.

After calming down, Xu Binghu supported himself with the machete and struggled to stand up. Looking at the dead tiger, a hint of anticipation rose in his heart.

"I never thought that I, Xu Binghu, would one day be able to slay the king of beasts."

Although there was a chance of success this time, it is a fact that the tigress died at his hands.

Then he looked at the corpse whose warmth had not yet dissipated and said, "My lady hasn't changed into new clothes for a long time. This tiger skin should be able to make several new clothes. They are also warm, so you won't be afraid of the severe cold when winter comes."

Tiger skin is a symbol of strength and wealth. Only those with great martial arts skills can kill a tiger and cut off its skin. Only the rich can afford to wear clothes made of tiger skin.

Moreover, there are two big tiger skins and two small tiger skins here. The big one can be used by him and Lian Ji, and the small one can be given to Xu Ran.

Xu Binghu couldn't help laughing when he thought of his son Xu Ran wearing a tiger skin.

"This son of mine is truly unique. The warmth that came through my body during this critical moment must have been his doing, just like the feeling I get from a daily massage."

"This time, it was Xiao Ran who helped me get through this difficult time."

Xu Binghu sighed.

When his son was born, he witnessed more wonders than in his twenty-plus years of hunting career combined. He originally thought he was just peculiar, but he never expected that his wonder would affect others.

"Xiao Ran massages my wife and me every day. I believe my wife's body has almost recovered. She has even recovered from her frail body since childhood to her normal state."

Thinking of this, Xu Binghu felt even more excited than when he killed the tiger.

The couple was already very loving, and Lian Ji risked her own body and life to give birth to a child for him. In his heart, Lian Ji's health was more important, otherwise, he would have sold the tiger skin directly to a wealthy businessman.

"First, cut off the tiger skin, hunt some prey along the way, and then you can go back."

After saying that, Xu Binghu picked up the sharp knife on his waist and carefully cut off the tiger skin.

After a while, the four tiger skins were intactly taken away by Xu Binghu's men. Then, they took the animal milk and left the place contentedly. They had a great harvest in this area of ​​ferocious beasts.

Not long after walking, Xu Binghu suddenly turned back.

"wrong."

Suddenly I realized that everything that had just happened was not right.

A tigress, and a pregnant one at that, should have another tiger by her side, otherwise, how could she have gotten pregnant.

If that's the case, then the tiger lying not far away is a pair with the tigress, so there's no question of them fighting over territory.

If this is the case, then it must be another more ferocious beast that can seriously injure or kill the tiger.

Moreover, although the tigress was seriously injured, she was not dead, which meant that the other beast died in the attack of the two tigers.

"If that's the case, then where is the other beast? Could it have left behind some incredible things?" Xu Binghu guessed in his heart.

Then he searched everywhere, and after an hour, he found something wrong.

Before my eyes, an extremely huge tree appeared. It took ten people to surround it. Moreover, the roots under the tree were very thick, as big as a person, and the roots protruded from the ground, which was very majestic.

Looking up, I saw lush branches and leaves that blocked out the sun, with only a faint ray of sunlight coming in.

"This giant tree is still rare even in the mountains." Xu Binghu sighed.

With the faint light, Xu Binghu carefully checked whether there was anything strange on the tree.

After looking for a long time, he finally discovered it.

"There are dead leaves about twenty meters above the ground, but this giant tree is so lush and lush, how could there be dead leaves?"

Something is wrong, something is very wrong, I must go up and investigate.

Xu Binghu held a short blade in his hand and climbed to the dead leaves in no time with a light body.

In front of me, there was only a bird's nest made of dead leaves. There was no bird inside, only a bird's egg the size of a goose egg.

The egg is covered with crimson patterns, just like the sunset glow.

"A fiery egg-shaped pattern, the size of a goose egg, nestled on a towering tree..."

Suddenly, Xu Binghu's eyes widened, and he was startled and exclaimed, "Peregrine falcon, this is a peregrine falcon's egg."

The peregrine falcon is a bird of prey with sharp eyes, extremely fast speed, and huge claws that are as hard as iron. It is a bird of prey that can rival the king of beasts.

Most importantly, peregrine falcons can be tamed by humans and are good helpers for hunters.

Xu Binghu knew that these were peregrine falcon eggs. He learned all this from stories told by the village elders when he was a child.

Moreover, since the records of Dahuangbian Village began, no one has been able to obtain a peregrine falcon's egg. This is a unique one.

According to the old people in the village, peregrine falcons will not leave easily before hatching.

Xu Binghu took the bird eggs and jumped down.

While falling, he saw many animal claw marks on the trunk of the tree, some large and some small, and all of them were traces of crawling upwards.

"This should be the trace of the king of beasts crawling upwards." Xu Binghu guessed.

As the king of beasts, it has a strong sense of territory. After discovering the peregrine falcon's nest, it wants to destroy and kill it.

But the peregrine falcon was agile and fought one against two, killing two cubs and an adult male tiger and seriously injuring a female tiger. However, the adult peregrine falcon disappeared and only one egg was left in the nest.

"Haha, I'm really lucky today. I actually encountered a situation where the King of Beasts and the Bird of Prey were both injured. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get such a big advantage."

After thinking it through, Xu Binghu laughed out loud, and the whole forest was filled with his laughter.

Afterwards, Xu Binghu left as quickly as possible with the animal milk, tiger skin and peregrine falcon eggs.

Although this is the tiger's territory and no wild beasts dare to enter, wild beasts are particularly sensitive to the smell of blood. Once they know that this area has become unowned, they will definitely come to rob it.

On the way back, Xu Binghu also killed a fawn, which was enough for his family to eat for a long time.

This time when he went hunting in the mountains, his harvest was comparable to the sum of all his previous hunting trips, four tiger skins. No one in the entire Dahuangbian Village had such an achievement, not to mention that he also brought back a peregrine falcon egg.

Once successfully hatched, they will become the strongest hunters in the area.

That night. In this remote mountain village where people rely on hunting for their livelihood, there are no entertainment activities at night. At most, after finishing their meals, they would go out to visit friends under the bright moonlight and then come back to sleep.

Now is the time when every household has finished dinner.

At this time, Xu Ran had already drunk the animal milk and was sitting at the only way for the village on the edge of the wilderness to enter the mountains. Around him were middle-aged and elderly people.

Ever since Xu Binghu and his wife took Xu Ran to visit each household in the village and showed off their talents in front of people, their cute and playful appearance won them the hearts of the people. At the same time, their name as a genius also became known to everyone.

Therefore, once Xu Ran walked out of the house, he would be surrounded by the villagers, each of whom would give Xu Ran a small snack or a small toy.

The reason they were sitting here at the moment was because Xu Ran's father, Xu Binghu, had not returned yet, so they just waited here.

Lian Ji looked at Xu Ran, and from time to time looked at the narrow path, her face full of worry.

Seeing Lian Ji's state, the midwife nearby consoled her, "Lian Ji, it's okay. Your husband's hunting skills have impressed all the hunters in the village. He'll be fine. Perhaps he just had a good catch today, which delayed him a little."

The midwife said this sincerely. Xu Binghu's hunting skills were well-known throughout the Dahuangbian Village. Otherwise, how could Xu Ran drink animal milk for eight months in a row?

Lian Ji just nodded slightly, the worry on her face still did not fade.

Next to Xu Ran, Xu's neighbor, Old Xie, spoke loudly at the top of his voice.

"Let me tell you, Xiao Ran is a true genius. He learns things quickly and can even apply what he has learned to other situations. Five months ago, I taught him how to grow seven-leaf lily, and he mastered it in less than a day."

"Now, the seven-leafed lily planted by Xiao Ran himself is complete. I went to see it today. Wow, it's growing much faster than mine!"

"Also, I've tested it. The seven-leafed lily that I planted previously couldn't protect against poisonous snakes, but the one planted by Xiao Ran can. To be more precise, it can protect against all poisonous snakes in the mountains!"

At the beginning, when Old Xie said he wanted to teach Xu Ran how to grow seven-leaf lily, he left him a piece of open space in his yard. From that time on, Xu Ran has been planting, observing and improving on that piece of land.

Xu Ran told him that today was the day when the seven-leaf lily bloomed.

So, after getting up, Mr. Xie went to the yard to check the growth of the seven-leaf lily.

As a result, you won’t know until you see it. You will be shocked when you see it. The seven-leafed flower that came from Xu Ran is twice as tall as the one he planted. Moreover, the flower is fragrant and its medicinal properties must be very strong.

Everyone in the village knew that Old Xie had passed on all his skills to Xu Ran, so they did not doubt Old Xie's words at all, and they were even more convinced that Xu Ran was a genius.

"Haha, congratulations to Old Xie for being able to teach such an outstanding apprentice!"

"Xiao Ran really deserves the title of genius. He can actually grow the Seven-Leafed One-Chihuahua so well."

"With Xiao Ran's Seven-Leaf Flower, from now on, all the hunters in the Great Wilderness Village will not be harmed by the mountain snakes!"

"Xiao Ran's appearance is truly a blessing for our Dahuangbian Village!"

Everyone was complimenting him one after another, which made Xu Ran, the protagonist, feel a little embarrassed.

After all, his original idea was to find a way to control the poisonous snakes so as to survive the "poisonous snake massacre of the village" four months later.

The idea of ​​improving the Seven-Leaf Flower was also due to my previous experience on Blue Star. It was a sudden inspiration, and I didn’t expect that it would actually work.

Unexpectedly, this matter is so important to the people in Dahuangbian Village.

"Haha, these are just small things. Since the uncles and aunts in the village like it, I will give all the seven-leaf lilies to everyone for free, so that no one will ever be harmed by poisonous snakes again!"

Xu Ran said in a baby voice, holding the bottle in his hand.

Although his voice was childish, what he said was surprising. Even Old Xie, who was teaching him, was confused.

"Xiao Ran, are you sure this seven-leaf flower is priceless? Are you going to give it away for free?"

Before this, Old Xie sold seven-leaf lily to people in the village. It was not expensive, but at least he charged some fees. They gave money, animal skins, and prey. But it was never free.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ran would actually give the seven-leaf flower to the villagers for free.

The other villagers also reacted at this time and asked quickly.

"Xiao Ran, are you sure?"

"Giving it away for free to the whole village is a huge expense!"

"Xiao Ran, you are still young and don't know the interests involved."

"Lian Ji, why don't you try to persuade your son!"

The villagers tried to persuade Xu Ran, thinking that he didn't know what "giving" meant.

Lian Ji also heard what Xu Ran and everyone else said. She turned to look at Xu Ran, only to see Xu Ran nod slightly.

Seeing this, Lian Ji said, "Xiao Ran's decision is our family's decision!"

Lian Ji's words could be said to have finalized the matter.

Others don’t know, but as Xu Ran’s mother, she can’t say that she knows everything Xu Ran has done since he was born, but at least she knows a general idea.

My son is a child prodigy, a genius. How could he not understand the interests involved?

If Xu Ran did this, he must have his own reasons. As Xu Ran's mother, I should fully support him.

Seeing Lian Ji's resolute face, everyone bowed and clasped their fists towards Xu Ran and Lian Ji.

"Thank you, Xu family, for your generosity!"

"Thank you, Xu family, for your generosity!"

"Thank you, Xu family, for your generosity!"

Everyone had an uncontrollable smile on their face.

As villagers of Dahuangbian Village, they are well aware of the harm that poisonous snakes can cause to them. Many hunters who go into the mountains to hunt have been killed by poisonous snakes.

When Old Xie told him that the seven-leafed lily planted by Xu Ran could ward off all poisonous snakes, he was extremely excited.

However, they soon became worried that Xu Ran's price might be too high. After all, his value was too high.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ran gave it to everyone for free.

Although everyone is from the same village of Dahuangbian Village, but growing seven-leafed aconite is a skill that can allow Xu Ran to make a living. With such a skill, there is no need to go into the mountains to hunt and live a life with his head hanging on the waistband of his pants.

So, they sincerely admired Xu Ran, even though he was only eight months old.

"Hey, why are so many people thanking my Xu family? You don't know that I just hunted a fawn and you're craving it, right?"

A rough voice came from behind the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw a filthy man walking out of a narrow path leading into the mountains. It was difficult to see his appearance clearly, especially at night.

But Lian Ji immediately rushed out of the crowd, came to the person who was speaking, and said, "Husband, you are back!"

That’s right, the person who came back was Xu Binghu.

Xu Binghu pushed Lian Ji away and said, "My lady, you are filthy and carry the evil spirits and miasma of the mountains. Don't get too close to me!"
