He heavily hit the ground and scattered the dust. Mu Bai looked back at the night sky and saw the Silver Winged Giant Tiger dashing towards him at a fast speed. However, it did not follow him.
With a "jiya" sound, the door opened and silver-haired old woman walked out of the thatched cottage.
"Grandma save me, a ferocious tiger is chasing me …"
Mu Bai still had the appearance of a child, but his panic-stricken appearance made people feel pity when they saw him.
"Ga Ga …"
The golden eagle flapped its tail feathers to extinguish the flames, following that, it smiled apologetically as it stuck to the old granny, obediently waiting. Mu Bai felt that the flattery was a little overdone.
"Don't be afraid, come in."
The old lady stepped aside to let him in. Mu Bai wiped his small face and smiled as he entered the grass hut. A blood-red chicken jumped up all of a sudden and flapped its wings as it stared vigilantly at the golden eagle.
"Ga Ga!"
The golden eagle was also shocked, but thinking that she was still a little chicken, walking into another house, she felt embarrassed. She lowered her head and gave a bashful smile, but unexpectedly, the blood-red chicken leaped up, and peck towards the golden eagle's eyes.
"Hong Wu, don't mess around, they're guests!"
silver-haired old woman stretched out her hand and the blood-red chicken jumped into the old woman's hand. It lowered its head and pecked at the old woman's palm. The old woman gently caressed it, and a kind expression appeared on her face.
"Don't be afraid Miss Hong Wu, Little Vulture is very kind …"
Mu Bai also felt that calling her 'girl' wasn't necessarily appropriate, but he couldn't say 'Hong Wu chicken' either …
"Ga Ga …"
The golden eagle immediately drooped all over its fur, and wriggled its head to tease the blood-red chicken. In fact, the golden eagle was extremely unwilling. Just now, it was about to peck at my eyes, but now it was begging for help and had nowhere to go.
"Child, why did you come to the Silverfrost Forest alone?"
"Reporting to Granny, I was originally a member of the tribe at the edge of Silverfrost Forest. My tribe's relatives were harmed by others, so I had no choice but to stay here …"
Mu Bai told her the general story of what happened to the tribe. He said it with sincerity. silver-haired old woman's heart softened, and she sighed with emotion.
"Child, Granny is not allowed to get involved in the matters of your tribe." "But don't hesitate to stay here. No one can bully you here with Grandma!"
silver-haired old woman's tone froze for a moment. The bright full moon outside the room had dimmed. What Mu Bai didn't feel was that there was a powerful force in the world that covered these two thatched cottages. Outside the house, the wind was howling furiously and the beasts were roaring non-stop. Pairs of eyes that were glinting with a cold light were staring at the two thatched cottages in the dark forest.
"But you can't stay here either …"
The golden eagle was startled, and her expression immediately changed.
"One night first."
silver-haired old woman brought the blood-red chicken cub into the room. Of course, Mu Bai and the golden eagle knew they could not follow him in. They looked at each other, and then waited for the night to pass.
Fortunately, the night was safe, and there were no berserk beasts attacking. The Silver Winged Giant Tiger did not chase after them. Gradually, Mu Bai and the golden eagle entered into dreamland together.
Usually, Mu Bai slept in the cave with the golden eagle. After the golden eagle fell asleep, its snores were loud and clear, sometimes it was like a sharp and long whistle, making people want to slap it to death. Mu Bai had been running for his life many times a day and was completely exhausted. He couldn't care less about the snores anymore.
Early in the morning, the sun rose over the distant mountains, shining its rays into the forest and sparkling brightly on the grass, leaves, and dewdrops. The early birds chirped, and the beautiful sounds played like witty spirits in the wind.
Gradually, the most beautiful season of Silverfrost Forest passed, and an ice-cold winter approached. Mu Bai had already spent the winter here. At that time, he did not have the company of golden eagle and his clothes were very thin. He had to rely on refining pills to keep his limbs warm and his teeth to tremble.
Mu Bai came out of the thatched cottage early in the morning. He chopped down a few trees, then chopped down the huge tree with his palm saber. "Kacha, kacha!" He cut the huge tree into small pieces. Although Mu Bai was treated nonchalantly for the whole night, he didn't want to take advantage of others, not to mention that the old woman was lonely and didn't want to prepare any more firewood for her.
Mu Bai was a filial child who had been hacking firewood and carrying water for everyone since he was young, and he was liked by the aunts in the tribe. If it wasn't for the fact that he was known to be a good couple with Ling, those aunts would have already fought him to be his son-in-law.
After hacking for a while, he gradually felt the heat, and his sweat began to pour out. Mu Bai's robe was worn out and the size didn't match his body. Just his feet and neck revealed his long hair. With a "hiss" sound, his sleeves ripped apart. Although this was an old forest deep in the mountains, he couldn't be naked. He still had to wear it and think of a way based on the situation.
After splitting a whole pile of firewood, the firewood was piled even higher than the thatched cottage. As for the remaining giant tree, Mu Bai hacked it into strips and built fences around the thatched cottage. Even if this wooden fence could not stop the vicious beasts of the desolate forest, it could at least prevent the chicks from running around. Not to mention being caught by a vicious bird or ferocious beast, even if he were to peck at their eyeballs, it wouldn't be good.
Just as Mu Bai was working hard, he heard the golden eagle gurgle as it came spiralling towards him. As expected, they resumed their normal habits. golden eagle were extremely skilled in hunting and catching beasts.
"After I chop firewood for you and built a fence, the Little Vulture would be able to catch some black pythons and doe. This can be considered as repaying me for the whole night, right?"
golden eagle placed the Black Python and deer inside the fencing yard. He paced around the small yard with his head held high, and directly nodded to Mu Bai in praise.
Just as she was about to leave, silver-haired old woman walked out the door with a "creak". Seeing the blood-red chicken in the old lady's hands, the golden eagle opened its mouth and spat out a few green insects that were still squirming.
The chick jumped down with a piece of verdant grass in its mouth and started pacing in front of the golden eagle. The golden eagle's eyes suddenly widened as it stared at the green grass. It opened its mouth and gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and the chick immediately kicked a cyan bug into its mouth.
"Grandmother, you've awoken. It's not good for the brat to continue disturbing us. Little Vulture and I will leave now."
"There's no hurry. It's rare for the weather to be so good today. Stay for a meal before leaving."
"Aiya, as expected, you can't just eat for free even if you're a human sculptor. "Just by working for him and catching his prey, his attitude is naturally different …"
Hearing that there was food, the golden eagle cried out loudly. Unexpectedly, the old lady said that she wanted Mu Bai and the golden eagle to clean up the prey. Luckily he didn't tear down the fence and burn the firewood. Otherwise, he would really be thrown into the cave outside Silverfrost Forest.
Since they already said that, Mu Bai started to move. He neatly cleaned up the Black Python and Deer, and started to burn them down with a "crackling" sound. The golden eagle knew that Mu Bai's craftsmanship was extremely good, so it was already salivating from the wait.
silver-haired old woman got a few brown bugs out of nowhere and fed them to the blood-red chicken. Mu Bai looked at the old woman and thought how pitiful she was. Unaccompanied, she actually had a grandfather-grandson relationship with a little chicken. It really made his heart soften.
"Granny, do you want one?"
"No, you guys go ahead and eat. Grandma's teeth aren't good, she's a vegetarian."
Mu Bai roasted several black pythons, and the tempting fragrance filled the whole fenced yard. Just as he sprinkled the salt on it, the golden eagle made a "Ga Ga" sound, stretched its neck, and ran over. Just as it was about to bite the golden, fragrant python meat, a red light flashed, and then the golden eagle bit empty air, almost biting its own tongue.
"Ga Ga!"
The golden eagle was enraged, staring fiercely at the blood-red chicken. The Blood Red Chicken pounced over. The golden eagle was so scared that it quickly closed its eyes, otherwise its eyeballs wouldn't be able to protect it.
Seeing that the golden eagle had submitted, the blood-red chicken raised its head and took the other python's body away. It opened its mouth and swallowed the huge python's body. Mu Bai swallowed his saliva, unable to believe his eyes, "Is this a chicken?"
Obviously not! Even if it was, it was still an unusual chicken. What about silver-haired old woman? Chicken essence?
Mu Bai was shocked, while the golden eagle's face was full of grievance. It almost shed tears of grievance as it pitifully hid behind Mu Bai, constantly rubbing against him. Since he had no other choice, he would need to rely on the golden eagle to travel. Mu Bai could only roast a few deer.
silver-haired old woman grinned. Under the sunlight, her gold teeth shone and shone. Matched with her silver hair, it was as if she was wearing gold and silver.
Maybe it was because they felt bad after eating Mu Bai's grilled meat, or maybe it was because they pitied Mu Bai. Perhaps it was because they felt bad after eating Mu Bai's grilled meat, or maybe it was because they pitied Mu Bai.
Clearly, the luck is still not bad for me. I will soon be wearing new clothes, so I need to wash myself clean. The golden eagle and the blood-red chicken were still fighting over the roasted deer, causing it to shake violently. Mu Bai ran to the back of the house, picked up a black jar and took a hot bath. It was comfortable. The dirt and sweat were gone, and the stench was gone too.
