Chapter 221: Innate Qi, Saving the Half-Dead

Lian Ji took off the bags on him and said softly, "It's okay!"

Xu Binghu grinned, then looked at the gathered people and said, "Why? So many people are here today, are you here to welcome me back to the village safely?"

Someone in the crowd said, "Xu Binghu, the villagers gathered here tonight not to welcome you back to the village. You are just taking advantage of your son's fame!"

"that is!"

"Xiao Ran is the pride of our Dahuangbian Village!"

"Not only a pride, but also a benefactor!"

The crowd was talking at the same time, and Xu Binghu didn't even know what was going on.

Although his son Xu Ran is cute and well-behaved, and is loved by the villagers, it shouldn't be like this.

"Madam, what's going on?"

Xu Binghu was puzzled and could only ask Lian Ji.

Then, Lian Ji told Xu Binghu everything that had just happened.

When Xu Binghu heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief, but he quickly recovered.

His son was born with a meteor, so it was normal for him to be a little strange. However, he had never thought that the seven-leafed flower he cultivated could actually restrain all the poisonous snakes in the mountains.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat and said, "I have taught Xiao Ran to love everyone in the village since he was young. Now Xiao Ran's actions have paid off my careful teachings."

Now, he was a hunter who had slain the king of beasts, although his achievements could not compare to his son's.

Old Xie, a neighbor who knew Xu Binghu well, stood up at this time.

"Come on, Lao Xu, Xiao Ran comes to my house at dawn every day to plant and care for the seven-leaf lily, while you go into the mountains to hunt every day. How can you have time to teach Xiao Ran the truth?"

"As for teaching, it's Lian Ji who taught well. What does it have to do with you?"

"Hey!" Xu Binghu took a step forward.

"I went into the mountains to hunt, firstly, to ensure Xiao Ran's continuous supply of milk, and secondly, to ensure the peace of the Great Wilderness Village!"

indeed!

Ever since Xu Ran appeared in front of them, they drank animal milk every time. This milk could only be obtained if Xu Binghu went into the mountains to hunt every day and succeeded.

But, for the sake of peace in Dahuangbian Village, what should we say? Everyone looked at Xu Binghu in confusion.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu looked up and smiled, took out two large packages from Lian Ji's hands and untied them.

Everyone stretched their necks curiously to see what was inside, but there were too many people and they couldn't see anything.

Soon, Xu Binghu took out four tiger skins from the package.

"Look, this is my effort to maintain peace in the Great Wilderness Village!"

When everyone saw the four complete tiger skins, they were all stunned. The impact of this was even greater than when Xu Ran said he would give them the Seven-Leaf Flower for free.

After a long while, the old man standing in the front walked out slowly, looked at the tiger skin in Xu Binghu's hand, and asked stutteringly.

"This, this, is this tiger skin?" asked the old man.

Xu Binghu nodded and answered in a strong voice, "Exactly!"

When the old man heard Xu Binghu's answer, he was stunned at first, and then he fell backward trembling. If the person behind him had not been quick-witted, he would have fallen to the ground.

Seeing the old man in such a state, everyone showed concern and shouted, "Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi!"

After being caught, Mr. Qi regained his composure, then stood up straight, looked at Xu Binghu, and asked, "Can you let me take a look?"

Xu Binghu directly put the tiger skin into Qi Lao's hand.

Old Qi took the tiger skin and began to examine it carefully, leaving no inch untouched.

A quarter of an hour later.

"The texture and feel of this are undoubtedly tiger skin, and it was taken from a recently dead tiger!"

Mr. Qi's words were like thunder from a clear sky, surprising everyone present.

"Xu Binghu actually killed the tiger?"

"And there are four of them!"

"Xu Binghu's strength is so terrifying!"

"No wonder he was able to provide Xu Ran with animal milk every day for eight consecutive months. It's so terrifying!"

"The Xu family actually produced two talented people. This is truly remarkable!"

Lian Ji, who was standing next to Xu Binghu, looked at her man with heartache, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

Although she was just a woman, she knew very well how dangerous hunting was. Otherwise, Xu Binghu would not have come back a little late tonight and would not have brought Xu Ran here to wait for him.

That's just the outer area of ​​the mountains.

The king of beasts, the tiger, is a ferocious beast with a strong sense of territory.

Although Xu Binghu went in, killed the tiger and returned safely, she was still very worried in her heart.

Xu Binghu gently wiped the tears from Lian Ji's eyes and whispered in her ear, "It's okay!"

Lian Ji nodded.

"Xu Binghu, you are doing very well. You haven't forgotten the skills I taught you since you were young!" said Mr. Qi.

"Of course. As the hunter teacher of Dahuangbian Village, Mr. Qi's words are naturally engraved in my heart!"

Old Qi was the most outstanding hunter of the previous generation. It was Old Qi who told Xu Binghu about the peregrine falcon, and it was also Old Qi who taught him how to cut off the tiger skin.

"Tell me everything that happened!" said Mr. Qi.

Xu Binghu did not refuse. This was the tradition of the Dahuangbian Village. Every time a wild beast was killed, the details had to be told to leave experience for future generations.

Then he told the whole story in detail, of course, leaving out the matter of the peregrine falcon.

After all, the peregrine falcon is a pet that all hunters dream of having. If you tell others about it, there will probably be endless troubles later.

Although things were not as thrilling as they imagined, they did not have the mindset and courage to quickly find the weakness of a female tiger and kill it with one move.

Therefore, they admire Xu Binghu very much.

After listening to this, Mr. Qi nodded slowly.

"Xu Binghu, you really got a great bargain!"

There was a hint of envy in his words, but it quickly turned into admiration.

"Although you are lucky, without extraordinary courage, good luck is useless!"

Xu Binghu scratched his head.

"By the way, Xu Binghu, what are you going to do with these four tiger skins?" asked Old Qi.

"As everyone knows, my wife has been frail and sickly since she was young. After giving birth to Xiao Ran, her health became even worse. So, I plan to make a cotton-padded jacket out of tiger skin for my wife!"

"Of course, I want one too."

"The remaining two tiger skins will be used to make clothes for Xiao Ran!"

After listening to this, Mr. Qi nodded and said, "Well, that's a very good arrangement!"

"Although Xiao Ran is a genius, he is still young and weak, and he really needs some warm clothes." "Besides, Xiao Ran just made such a contribution to my Dahuangbian Village. Good, very good!"

Then, Old Qi looked at the crowd around him with sharp eyes.

Everyone understood what Master Qi meant and bowed down, "We will follow Master Qi's instructions!"

"Ok!"

Old Qi nodded, then turned and left.

Seeing this, everyone wanted to go forward and touch the tiger skin, but Xu Ran ran while shouting, "Dad!"

Seeing this, everyone dodged away.

Then Xu Ran took Lian Ji's hand and said, "Dad, Mom, let's go home!"

"Okay, let's go home!"

After that, the family of three went back.

The people in the village looked at the three people's backs as they left, feeling envious and grateful.

After returning home, Xu Ran immediately took the package that Lian Ji was carrying.

Xu Binghu thought he wanted to drink animal milk and said, "Xiao Ran, the animal milk is here."

Just as he was about to take out the animal milk, Xu Ran said, "No, it's this!"

Immediately, a crimson egg appeared in Xu Ran's hands.

The egg was a bit too big for Xu Ran, so he could only hold it with both hands.

Xu Binghu was surprised, "Xiao Ran, how did you know?"

Xu Ran replied, "Dad, before you come out, you should polish your storytelling skills."

When Xu Binghu appeared in front of everyone, the innate energy in his body began to move around, which was very unreasonable.

At the same time, a breath appeared in the package carried by Xu Binghu.

Therefore, Xu Ran guessed that his father must have brought some good things out of the mountains, otherwise this would not have happened.

When Xu Binghu heard his son teasing him like this, he was about to say a few words but was interrupted by Lian Ji.

"Xiao Ran, what did you just mean?"

Xu Ran said, "According to what Dad said, a male and a female tiger confronted each other. The male tiger killed the two cubs, and the female tiger killed the male tiger, and the female tiger was seriously injured."

"Is there any problem?" Lian Ji asked.

Xu Ran continued to explain, "Dad said that he had a flash of inspiration and realized that the tigress's weakness was under her belly, that is, her uterus. That means the two cubs were just born!"

"In that case, where is the father of the two tiger cubs?"

"Tigers have a very strong sense of territory. It's impossible for them to allow a male tiger to walk into their lair and kill their cubs. Therefore, the only explanation is that the male tiger was the tigress's husband, and that the male tiger and the two cubs were killed by another bird of prey."

Xu Ran finished speaking in one breath, and Xu Binghu, who was listening beside him, was a little stunned.

My own son is so smart, he guessed it so easily?
Could it be that the child prodigy sent from heaven is so terrifying?
"you are right!"

Xu Ran held the crimson egg in his hands and said, "This egg should be from a bird."

"You know again?" Xu Binghu exclaimed again.

"If a ferocious beast like a tiger couldn't react in advance, it means it's extremely fast. As far as I know, there are no such beasts on land, so only birds of prey have such ability!"

"Besides, I can guess that this bird of prey must be a great helper for hunters, otherwise you wouldn't have hidden it from everyone in the village!"

Xu Binghu had already opened his mouth wide, and everything Xu Ran said was right, as if he had opened his third eye.

"Xiao Ran, you won't follow me all the way, right?"

Before Xu Ran could speak, Lian Ji spoke first, "Husband, what are you talking about? Xiao Ran and I have been planting seven-leafed aconite all day."

Xu Ran smiled and pointed at his head.

If Xu Binghu couldn't understand this, he would be truly despised by his son.

Then, Xu Binghu told all the known information about the bird egg.

After hearing this, Xu Ran fell into deep thought.

"A bird of prey, extremely fast, with claws as hard as iron and sharp eyes. Such a bird of prey must be good at dealing with venomous snakes."

"Also, the flow of innate energy in my body just now might be related to each other."

Xu Ran's heart quickened.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu knew that his son had some ideas, so he said, "Xiao Ran, since you just said that you have some feelings about this peregrine falcon egg, then I will give this egg to you and hatch it."

Xu Ran didn't hesitate, "Okay!"

Xu Binghu said, "Although Mr. Qi told us about the peregrine falcon, he didn't tell us how to hatch it, so you have to figure it out on your own."

"You can only rely on your clever little brain!"

Xu Ran, who already had some ideas at this point, replied, "No problem."

Seeing that her husband and son had finished their business, Lian Ji urged, "Husband, go take a shower quickly. I'll heat up the food again. It stinks."

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower now." After saying that, he walked out.

Lian Ji also stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to heat up some food for Xu Binghu. When she turned around, she found Xu Ran lying on the bed holding the bird egg.

It was at this time that he realized that his son, Xu Ran, was only an eight-month-old child, but his brain was so smart.

After taking a few more glances, he walked out of the room.

Xu Ran woke up at dawn.

The first thing he saw was the peregrine falcon egg on the table, and next to it was a cloth bag made of cotton clothes.

"Dad, do you think hatching peregrine falcon eggs is like hatching a hen?" Xu Ran was a little amused.

This cannot be blamed on Xu Binghu. Old Qi did not tell them how to hatch peregrine falcon eggs, and they could not ask him directly. Otherwise, wouldn't it be clearly telling others that they have peregrine falcon eggs?
What's more, Mr. Qi himself may not know how to hatch, so he can only use the most stupid method. Maybe it will work?

In fact, Xu Ran already had a preliminary idea about how to hatch peregrine falcon eggs.

"Since the innate energy in my body had a response to the peregrine falcon eggs yesterday, then the innate energy might be useful." Xu Ran guessed in his heart.

Before this, five months after he cultivated the innate divine body, 14 strands of innate qi remained in his body. He transferred one strand each into the bodies of Xu Binghu and Lian Ji, and now there are still 12 strands of innate qi.

The 12 strands of innate energy should be enough for him to hatch it.

Then he tiptoed out of bed, slowly walked to the table, and carefully held the peregrine falcon egg in his palm.

Then, a wisp of innate energy was mobilized in Xu Ran's body and slowly gathered in his hands. Just like he had passed the innate energy to Xu Binghu, he passed the innate energy to the peregrine falcon egg.

Suddenly, the peregrine falcon egg held in both hands trembled, and a faint breath of life emanated from it. In addition, the crimson egg pattern on the surface of the egg began to emit a faint red light, which was very faint.

The noise soon dissipated and everything returned to calm.

Xu Ran was shocked when he saw this, "It works!"

Sure enough, my guess was correct. The innate energy can really hatch peregrine falcon eggs.
