Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said with a baffled expression, “I don’t know if it’s fate, but I feel like those two eagle chicks are clinging to us!”

As soon as she said this, the other three looked at Li Xiaoran.

“Xiaoran! Why would you say that?” Zhao Long asked in confusion.

It was such an honor to be chosen as a companion by a young eagle!

Many people in the village were envious of Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.

“I don’t know. They just give me this feeling!” Li Xiaoran said.

The maniac thought for a moment and said, “Let’s not talk about this for now. There are some things I’ve recorded over the years. Take a look. Perhaps you can find what you want to know!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and took the paper from the maniac.

Upon closer inspection, the words on the paper were very neat. They were written on the paper in block letters, making them very pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Long, who was standing at the side, thought of something and looked at his niece in surprise.

“Xiaoran, can you read?”

Li Xiaoran looked up at her second uncle and nodded with a smile. “Yes, I can read! My husband taught me!”

With that, Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng with a smile.

“That’s right, I taught her! My wife is very smart. I didn’t spend much effort to teach her to read and write. Now, she has no problem reading or writing!” Luo Cheng said proudly.

Zhao Long agreed with the two juniors.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It’s good to be able to read!”

Li Xiaoran smiled and nodded, then focused on reading again.

Luo Cheng also took a piece of paper and helped Li Xiaoran read it.

Because Zhao Long couldn’t read, he simply sat at the side and waited quietly.

The maniac didn’t speak at this moment. He sat on the spot as he stared at Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng. From time to time, he observed the eagle chicks standing on their shoulders.

Li Xiaoran was fascinated by the content.

It had to be said that the content recorded on the piece of paper in her hand was simply priceless.

They made detailed notes on the size, weight, physical qualities, color of feathers, patterns, and habits.

Li Xiaoran read it word for word. The more she read, the more shocked she became, and admiration welled up in her heart.

This information could be considered an encyclopedia of eagles.

Anyone who didn’t know anything about eagles would know a lot about them after reading this information.

After looking at the first page, Li Xiaoran looked at the second page.

For the last few pictures, there was an analysis and summarization of all the eagles.

After Li Xiaoran saw the summary, she immediately fell into deep thought.

Luo Cheng saw that Li Xiaoran’s gaze was fixed on a single spot, so he looked over.

When he saw the content clearly, his pupils dilated and he couldn’t help but look at the maniac.

After the maniac received Luo Cheng’s gaze, he looked over.

“The treasure-hunting rats recorded here really exist?” Luo Cheng couldn’t help but ask.

When Zhao Long heard the maniac’s words, he also looked over.

“Treasure-hunting rat? What treasure-hunting rat?”

The maniac looked at Luo Cheng and then at Li Xiaoran, who had also looked up. He said, “Indeed! I have to observe eagles for a long time, so I often walk around the forest near Eagle Village. Once, when I was digging for herbs, I saw a very big rat pass in front of me. But I was shocked because that rat was much bigger than ordinary rats! What surprised me even more was that the rat carried a gold mine!”

“What surprised me even more was that the eagle in the sky actually swooped down at this treasure-hunting rat to capture it. However, that big rat actually nimbly avoided the eagle’s attack and quickly escaped into the bushes!”

“Since then, I’ve also happened to meet two woodcutters who have been chopping wood on the mountain for a long time. I’ve also heard about this big rat from them. The strange thing is that whenever this big rat appears, it attracts the same eagle. Later, from the woodcutters’ description, I confirmed that the eagle they saw catching the big rat was the same type as the eagle I once saw. They’re both kings of eagles in Eagle Village.”

“In other words, only the king of eagles can find that big rat?” Luo Cheng was smart and grasped the main point immediately.

“I’m afraid that’s the reason Huang Hong has his eyes on our eagle chicks. Don’t forget that big rat had a gold mine in its mouth. Since the maniac saw it, the others in the village must have seen it too! Wealth is tempting! The enticement of gold isn’t small!” Li Xiaoran felt that the doubts in her mind were immediately cleared.

“You said that someone is greedy for that gold mine, so they want to obtain the king of eagles, because only then can they use the eagle to track the traces of that big rat and follow it to find the gold mine?” Luo Cheng said what Li Xiaoran didn’t finish.

“That’s right. Huang Hong is that greedy person! However, Huang Hong is just an ordinary person in the village. There must be someone behind him who instructed him to do these things!” Li Xiaoran speculated.

Zhao Long heard his niece and son-in-law say such shocking things one after another.

At this moment, his throat felt dry. He wanted to say something but couldn’t make a sound.

When the maniac heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he thought carefully and said, “Huang Hong does know about this! He heard it from a woodcutter. Once, when I went to observe the eagles, I sprained my ankle and fell into a pit. Before I could get up, I heard Huang Hong and the woodcutter talking about that big rat.”

“It was also after that that I never saw that woodcutter again!” the maniac added at the end.

At this point, everyone understood.

That woodcutter had either been taken away by Huang Hong and locked up or silenced.

At this point, the group fell silent.

After a long moment, the maniac got up and put away the things he had recorded.

After the last piece of paper was put away, the maniac reminded them as he tied it with twine.

“If your guess is correct, it’s best to keep this matter to yourselves. Don’t tell anyone. Otherwise, this will bring disaster to your family. And the two of you, I’m afraid you’ve already been targeted. Since I like the wine you gave me previously, as long as you take out two more jars of wine, I’ll help you! If you don’t want to take these two eagle chicks away, I have a way to make them stay and save you guys from disaster!”
