The hunter Shi Yazi brought his two sons to the front of Magistrate Hua, the village chief and others.

He raised the hunting rifle in his hand and shouted, "Master Hua, Master Yang, Village Chief, look, we have hunting rifles, we are not afraid of that giant bird at all."

His eldest son Shi Hu also said: "Leopard and I will go outside with father to have a look. If the big bird wants to hurt us, I will shoot it. The gunshot may not kill it, but it will be scared away."

Shi Yazi's other two sons also came over with big swords, and one of them said, "Dad, big brother, there are still us."

There were only three hunting rifles in their family. The other two sons didn't have hunting rifles, so they took up machetes and showed no fear at all.

The villagers were very moved when they saw Shi Yazi's family of five people all came out. Shi Yazi not only let them live in his home, but also protected them.

Shi Yunlin took out an axe from somewhere, walked over and said, "Brother Shi Hu, add me."

Another villager came over with a rake that he had just used to find something outside. "Uncle, count me in."

Then, another villager responded: "Huzi, count me in."

"I'll go with you too."

"I'll go too!" Soon, many villagers asked to go together to deal with the giant bird.

Magistrate Hua looked at the group of villagers and said with satisfaction: "You are great from Shiyanzi Village! With villagers like you in Shiyanzi Village, no matter what kind of giant bird it is, we can deal with it."

Immediately, County Magistrate Hua took the lead and walked towards the courtyard, followed closely by the village chief and County Lieutenant Yang, and Shi Yaozi and his son and the villagers all followed him out.

The guards guarding the door of the room also followed closely behind Magistrate Hua and County Lieutenant Yang to protect them.

As they walked into the courtyard, there was a sudden knock on the door. Everyone was startled. Then someone shouted, "Oh no! The giant bird is here!"

"Don't talk, don't disturb it, let's get ready quickly." Shi Yazi whispered to everyone.

Then he gestured to the two sons holding shotguns, and the three of them raised their shotguns at the same time, aiming at the gate. The other two sons also picked up their swords, ready to respond.

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was another strong knock on the door.

Everyone in the yard looked at the knocked door.

Shi Yazi breathed a sigh of relief and thought, this big bird can't fly into the yard by itself, it seems it can only crash into the door, which is beneficial to them.

But the other villagers were a little scared, wondering how this giant bird could be so amazing that it could find their home and peck at the door. Could it possibly peck the door open? What should they do?

County Magistrate Hua was also a little confused. He felt something was wrong. It didn't sound like an animal banging against the door, but rather like someone knocking on the door.

"What? Is there no one inside? Wasn't there a sound just now?" At this time, a man's voice was heard outside, confirming his guess.

The villagers in the courtyard were very surprised. How could there be a human voice? Could it be that this big bird was tamed by someone? Someone brought the giant bird to target them. What should they do?

The village chief heard someone talking outside and asked boldly, "Are you a human? Who are you?"

"If we are not human, then are we ghosts?" the little soldier who spoke just now responded doubtfully.

At this time, another voice sounded outside the door: "You are the villagers of Shiyanzi Village, right? I am Xiang Tongpan of Lingzhou Prefecture. The court has sent Prince Jing and Princess Jing to rescue you."

When Magistrate Hua heard the man's voice, he felt it was very familiar. He was about to ask, but Shi Bao said first: "That's impossible. The heavy snow has blocked the road. How can you enter the village?"

"Yes! Yes! Even if the court sends people to rescue us, it won't be so fast. It will take at least half a month for them to come."

"Yes, yes, how could the court know about the snowstorm here so quickly?" The villagers in the yard were whispering in disbelief.

You looked at me and I looked at you, neither of us could believe this was true, and we didn’t know what to do.

County Magistrate Hua became puzzled when he heard the villagers' discussion. Yes, with such heavy snow, how could Prince Jing get to their Shiyanzi Village so quickly from the capital?

He didn't dare to open the gate rashly. After all, there were so many people here and he had to consider their safety.

He thought for a moment and asked the person outside the door: "Are you serious? Are you really Xiang?"

"Are you Hua Jiaoli? Can't you recognize my voice?" A familiar voice came from outside the door.

When Magistrate Hua heard the judge Xiang say his name directly, he knew the voice and no longer doubted it. He stepped forward excitedly and opened the door of the courtyard himself. The door was opened from the inside with a crash.

Magistrate Hua looked at Judge Xiang who was standing at the door, hugged him and said, "Master Xiang, it really is you!"

The judge patted him on the back and said, "Master Hua, what happened to you? Why are you here? Prince Jing and Princess Jing are here to save you."

Hua Jiaoli let go of Xiang Tongpan and only then saw the dozen people behind him. Then he looked at the man and woman standing behind Xiang Tongpan. He felt the aura of the other party and thought to himself, these two people might be Prince Jing and Princess Jing.

"This is Prince Jing and Princess Jing," Pan Xiang immediately introduced.

Magistrate Hua quickly knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your humble servant Hua Jiaoli greets Prince Jing and Princess Jing."

County Lieutenant Yang also hurried forward, knelt beside Magistrate Hua, and saluted, saying, "Your humble servant Yang Wuliu greets Prince Jing and Princess Jing."

At this time, the villagers in the courtyard also reacted, knelt down, and said in unison: "I greet Prince Jing and Princess Jing."

"No need to be polite, everyone stand up and talk." Chu Chenjing waved his hand and asked everyone to stand up and speak.

The villagers who heard the noise in the room came out one after another and asked curiously, "Who is it? Who is coming?"

"It's Prince Jing and Princess Jing who are here to save us!" someone answered excitedly.

At this time, Chu Chenjing noticed that some villagers were holding shotguns and some were holding knives, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? What happened? Why don't you open the door?"

"Prince Jing, we saw a huge bird flying in the sky, and we suspected it was an eagle. It might have come out to look for food, and it might have eaten children and hurt the villagers, so..." Magistrate Hua explained.

"Hahaha... Hahaha... Eagle? You are talking about Princess Jing's big iron bird, right?" Several soldiers couldn't help laughing, and one of them spoke.

Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao looked at these simple villagers with smiles in their eyes.

"Big...big iron bird? What big iron bird? Can it fly in the sky?" Shi Hu asked in confusion.
