The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

Chapter 326 Parental Heart

The vast desert stretches as far as the eye can see, with no obstructions or barriers.

It was the dead of night, and as cold as winter.

A dozen or so bonfires.

It wasn't burning as fiercely as it had been in the first half of the night.

Ten miles in radius.

It was so quiet that I could hear my own breathing.

suddenly.

"Thump!" A sound was heard.

Near a campfire on the outskirts, a dark object suddenly fell from the sky.

It was clearly a terrifying scene.

The vanguard battalion members on night duty were already used to it.

They ran to the object that had fallen from the sky and examined and touched it carefully.

Afraid of waking their own superiors, they began to whisper among themselves:
"Hehe, Eagle Master is getting more and more capable. The prey he catches these days is getting bigger and bigger. This gazelle tonight must weigh about forty pounds!"

"He must have just died not long ago! While he's still warm, let's quickly skin him and use the meat and bones to make mutton soup for those kids tomorrow morning."

"Oh dear, do you think those two hundred and eighty-three poor little ones will be able to find their way back to camp before dawn? They've been left there for six days already, and it's easy to get lost in the desert."

"What's there to be afraid of? The Eagle is watching from the sky during the day! You've seen how well it can find people."

"Yes, it's finally over! The centurion said that the first ten squads to return will definitely become the general's personal guards."

"The thought that their whole family can live with General Gan in the future makes me so envious! A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy can be a pillar of the family as a general's personal guard."

“Who says it’s not?”

An open-air campsite.

After dropping its prey, Eagle silently flew to Gan Minglan's shoulder, who was pretending to sleep.

A heavy, dull ache.

Gan Minglan: If it weren't for the invulnerable protective suit inside the cloth armor, she really would have thanked him.

She had no doubt that the eagle's claws could easily tear apart an ordinary person's arm.

The golden eagle couple now lead a very regular life.

During the day, he would locate Gan Minglan's position and movements from the sky, and occasionally she would call him down to help.

They can understand about three or four parts of Gan Minglan's instructions.

At night, the couple would take turns visiting her.

Of course, that wasn't their target either.

It was the sculpted baby she placed in the sacred wood space.

Thanks to Gan Minglan's wood-type ability intervention, the little guy's indigestion problem was resolved long ago.

It's only been half a month.

The little guy is already bigger than a one-month-old baby eagle.

how to say.

As for its appearance, it's really not good-looking.

It waddles around like a long-necked chicken.

It's the kind that hasn't even grown all its hair yet.

at this time.

Inside the space, on the first branch of the main trunk of the sacred tree, there is a bird's nest secured with a bamboo basket.

The baby golden eagle is tilting its head back and making soft, chirping sounds.

I'm hungry, baby's hungry. Time for dinner.

The male eagle couldn't stand such sounds and hurriedly fluttered to the nest.

On top of the half-covered bamboo basket, there was an open plate specifically for a family of three.

Tonight, I put in more shredded meat than last night.

in fact.

As long as the baby eagle kicks its legs and stands up, it can reach the shredded meat in the plate.

But it just keeps whimpering.

Then let Gan Minglan, the zookeeper, and its parents feed it.

The little guy's appetite is increasing every day.

Gan Minglan adheres to the principle of eating small, frequent meals and maintaining a balanced diet.

I feed it about three times a day: about half a pound of marinated shredded meat, five or six silkworm pupae, a few spoonfuls of steamed millet, and a few spoonfuls of finely chopped cabbage leaves.

The golden eagle couple are only responsible for feeding them for one meal a night.

It still mainly consists of shredded meat.

Perhaps the baby eagle got used to the food prepared by Gan Minglan.

Even when the golden eagles left the best pieces of meat from their prey, the little guy was reluctant to eat them.

It really worried its parents a lot.

Laying eggs out of season is such a torment for eagles!
Does that mean that after learning to hunt in another forty or fifty days, we'll have to catch prey every day to trade for food with two-legged creatures?

Even birds and beasts worry about raising their offspring, let alone humans?
The fate of military households cannot be changed.

But the parents were constantly thinking about how to get their sons good jobs in the army.

If no one in your family is capable, you'll really just be stuck being a lowly soldier for generations to come.

They weren't even paid a single copper coin in military pay.

The anxiety in his heart when he chose to leave the border town and follow the Seven Guards of Guanzhong can be imagined.

Early in the morning, members of the vanguard battalion brought good news.

"General Gan's personal guard list has been released."

Subsequently, about a dozen families who were assigned to Guazhou Guard received notification that their sons had indeed become one of General Gan's hundred personal guards.

Some families were extremely poor, and the parents were overjoyed.

Although I've been fantasizing about this scene for the past two weeks.

But I never expected my dream to come true!

The woman cried with great pleasure:

"Waaah, Dog Dad, it's truly a blessing from Buddha, our ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke! Our Dog is so promising, I never thought he would actually stay until the end. From today onwards, our family is also General Gan's personal guard family."

"Mmm... Old woman, pinch me! I just can't believe it! Our son is such a spineless coward, so honest you couldn't get a word out of him even if you hit him three times! I never expected this, I really never expected this!"

"Pah! How can you talk to your son like that? Maybe General Gan likes an honest kid like Gouzi! From now on, you'd better be polite to my Gouzi! The third, fourth, and fifth brothers will be counting on their second brother for help in the future."

"Ouch! You actually pinched me! I'm not stupid. Now that Gouzi has gotten such a good job, our whole family is benefiting! From now on, when he comes home, we'll definitely treat him to the best food and drink."

"Speaking of which, Dog's father, Dog will only turn fourteen next year. He doesn't know how to do anything except herd sheep and farm. How much military pay can a soldier get in a month? Also, what can we do to help General Gan if we become soldiers' spouses?"

"Military pay, military pay! All you ever do is scheme for these petty gains! They say a half-grown boy can eat his father to death, but Gouzi can't even get two pounds of meat in one meal! Now that General Gan is taking care of his food, lodging, and clothing, even if he doesn't bring a single copper coin home, we can't say a word!"
"Anyway, we'll do whatever the general tells us to do! Her family's western foothills ranch is doing so well; if they could set up a ranch like that in Hamiwei, their three sons could easily raise hundreds or even thousands of sheep."

Upon hearing this, the woman became happy again:
"Dog's dad, you really hit the nail on the head! Herding sheep is a good job, not tiring at all, much better than farming and reclaiming wasteland. I wonder if the task of one person reclaiming ten acres of land has changed after arriving in Hamiwei."

"What's the rush? Follow orders!"
