Zhao Xiu was ranked first, followed by Li Xiaoqing, Li Xiaoran, Li Shun, and finally Luo Cheng.

After everyone was lined up, Zhou Ta picked up the wooden whistle around his neck and started blowing.

Soon, the eagles flew down.

Surprisingly, there were usually only two to three eagles that flew down when they heard the whistle. This time, six came at once.

To everyone’s surprise, three more eagles flew over from behind.

An eagle with a strand of white fur on its head flew down.

Zhou Ta watched this scene in surprise, then looked at Zhao Xiu and the others.

“Uncle Tazi, what’s wrong?” Zhao Xiu asked in confusion.

“No! I just find it a little strange. This is the first time I’ve seen so many eagles fly down!” Zhou Ta explained, then gestured for Zhao Xiu to start walking over.

Zhao Xiu nodded and walked forward.

The eagles stopped on the specifically made wooden poles and looked straight at Zhao Xiu without any reaction.

After Zhao Xiu walked over, Li Xiaoqing followed.

There was still no problem. The eagles even lazily combed their feathers with their mouths.

It was Li Xiaoran’s turn.

Li Xiaoran quickly walked away. As a result, the surrounding eagles immediately stared at her.

Li Xiaoran was a little nervous and sweat broke out on her palms.

God, why were all these eagles staring at her? She instantly felt like running away.

However, it was all a false alarm. Li Xiaoran safely walked to his mother’s side.

Now, Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, it was Li Shun’s turn.

Li Shun quickly walked over with no problem.

In the end, only Luo Cheng was left!

Luo Cheng strode over. All the eagles stared at him.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran’s heart was in her throat again. She wondered if Luo Cheng could pass successfully.

When Luo Cheng successfully walked over, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief and their expressions relaxed.

“Looks like there’s no problem. You can go and drive the ox cart into the village now!” Zhou Ta said with a smile.

With that, Zhou Ta whistled and asked someone to deliver some rabbit jerky.

Normally, the eagles would fly away after picking up the rabbit jerky, but this time was an exception.

Every eagle had rabbit jerky in its mouth, but none of them left.

“What’s going on?” Zhou Ta was a little puzzled. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in all his years in the village.

At this moment, the eagle with a strand of white hair on its head suddenly spread its wings and flew, then cried out.

Before long, two more eagle chicks flew down.

What was even more shocking was that after the two eagle chicks flew down, they flew around Zhao Xiu and the others before landing on Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s shoulders.

Li Xiaoran felt her shoulder sink, and then she felt an eagle’s baby bird land on her shoulder.

She turned her head and met a small round eye and a pair of claws that had retracted their sharpness.

Everything had a soul. That was why the young eagle retracted its sharp claws and didn’t hurt Li Xiaoran.

Luo Cheng was in the same situation. A baby eagle landed on his shoulder.

The difference was that this young eagle bird clearly looked more majestic than the one on Li Xiaoran’s shoulder.

“This Eagle King means to let this pair of young birds follow the two of you!” Zhou Ta already understood and said enviously.

In their village, there were also eagle chicks who chose the people in the village as their companions.

But this was rare. Very few people could have eagle companions.

What was so special about these two people that the Eagle King actually arranged for two young birds, one male and one female, to follow them?

When Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng heard Zhou Ta’s words, they looked at each other and saw surprise in each other’s eyes.

Zhou Ta thought of something and said, “Zhao Xiu, bring your family back to your parents’ house first! Such a big thing happened today, so I have to talk to the village chief. I’ll come back to look for you guys later!”

Zhao Xiu was shocked since she didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

Hearing Zhou Ta’s words, Zhao Xiu nodded blankly. Then, everyone returned to the ox cart and rushed in the direction of the Zhao family.

Of course, the two eagle chicks had been standing firmly on Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s shoulders without any intention of leaving.

At the same time, the news that two eagle chicks had acknowledged each other spread throughout the entire Eagle Village.

When they heard that the young eagle’s companions were actually two outsiders, the people from Eagle Village were even more stunned.

This was the first time they had encountered such a thing in hundreds of years!

Because there was no precedent, the people of Eagle Village urgently gathered the famous elders of the village to discuss this matter.

On the Zhao family’s side, when they discovered that an ox cart brought a group of people to their doorstep, they also ran out.

When Zhao Huaishan heard that his eldest daughter was back, he put down the ax in his hand and rushed out.

When he got closer, he saw that his eldest daughter had really returned. Zhao Huaishan shed tears!

“Father, Mother, I’m Xiu’er! I’m back!” Zhao Xiu immediately shouted excitedly when she saw Zhao Huaishan.

“Good. It’s good that you’re back!” Zhao Huaishan sized up his daughter and realized that her complexion looked very good. He knew that she was doing well.

“Son-in-law, you’re here too. Hurry up and bring your family into the house! Let’s talk inside!” Zhao Huaishan also saw Li Shun, so he greeted him.

“Grandpa, why are you alone? Where’s Grandma?” Li Xiaoqing looked behind Zhao Huaishan and asked.

“This must be Xiao Qing! This girl didn’t look that old the last time she came. Now, she’s a big girl!” Zhao Huaishan glanced at Li Xiaoqing and replied with a smile, “Your grandmother isn’t feeling well, so a doctor prescribed medicine for her. She’s lying in bed after taking the medicine!”

When Zhao Xiu heard that her mother was sick, she immediately became anxious.

“Father, why is my mother sick? What illness does she have?”

As she spoke, Zhao Xiu hurriedly walked into the house.

When Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing saw this, they quickly ran in.

Li Shun and Luo Cheng looked at each other. The father-in-law and son-in-law could only stop the ox cart first before moving the things on it into the house one by one.

It had to be said that the Zhao family’s residence was very big. The house was cleaned up, which made people feel very comfortable the moment they walked in.

However, other than Zhao Huaishan and his wife, there was no one else in the house. There wasn’t even a child.

“I guess your two granduncles must have accompanied your grandaunt back to her family!” Li Shun guessed.
