Chapter 230 Become a passerby and cannon fodder 4

After pressing the cloud head and taking a closer look, Ling Liang finally felt relieved and turned back to the cave after confirming that Mrs. Bones was completely dead.

Here, while the host and the enemy were fighting outside, 999 was not to be outdone. He showed off his power in the cave and easily eliminated the Bone Lady's dog-headed military advisor and those skeleton spirits, and also guarded the "blood food" in the back mountain. Rescued.

Now he is standing in the middle of the open space with his head held high, waiting to be praised by his host.

"Okay, you did a good job." Ling Liang glanced at the people beside him who escaped safely, and as he wished, he smiled and praised.

999 flapped its wings contentedly and raised its head higher.

Several rescuers were very afraid of 999, a strange bird that could only speak human words. They had been huddled in a corner and did not dare to speak loudly.

Seeing that the bird owner was back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and trotted over quickly, thanking Ling Liang profusely.

Ling Liang waved his hand, "The one who really saved you is Xiaojiu. If you want to thank him, you should thank him."

Hearing this, the four people couldn't help but look embarrassed. They hesitated for a while, and then they slowly moved closer to 999.

Then they all bent down and bowed deeply to it, "Thank you so much!"

"Ahem, this is your duty, so you don't need to give me such a big gift." 999 quickly extended its wings to help everyone up.

It just wanted to get rid of those skeleton spirits, and it just did it casually to save people, but it didn't think about how it would repay them.

Of course, it is still very happy to be grateful to these people.

After a pause, 999 urged kindly: "Okay, it's getting dark outside. I think you should go home quickly. Your relatives must be worried about you after disappearing for so many days."

At this time, it was close to Shen hour, and the sunlight was no longer very strong. If the group set off down the mountain immediately, they might be able to return home before the sun set.

"Hey, yes, yes, then, my two benefactors, are we leaving now?

A man standing at the front glanced at 999's face and said tentatively.

999 nodded vigorously, "Let's go, let's go. Remember to be careful on the road!"

The four of them had actually returned home long ago, but because they really couldn't figure out the mind of this strange bird in front of them, they didn't dare to leave without permission, for fear of disobeying its will and making it unhappy.

Now that they heard that 999 agreed to let them go home, they were all happy. After saying goodbye to it one by one, they hurried out of the cave.

After running for 300 meters, one of the young men suddenly stopped.

He looked back at the dark cave with a confused expression on his face.

"Daniu, why didn't you run away?" a fellow villager asked him in confusion.

"Hei Wa, did you think the bird demon just now looked familiar? I looked at it secretly and it looked very much like the one in my house." Daniel scratched his hair and said in confusion.

"No, it can't be. Didn't your bird disappear a long time ago?"

Suddenly being poked in a sad place, Daniel's eyes dimmed and he stopped talking.

Hei Wa didn't notice the change in his mood, and stretched out his hand to pull him off, "Okay, Daniel, let me tell you, there are many similar birds in the world. You must have seen it wrong! Go quickly, go quickly , now the most important thing is to be able to go back safely."

Daniel thought so, took one last look at the direction he came from, and hurriedly chased the other two with Hei Wa.

And he would never know that his intuition wasn't actually wrong.

When the vulture possessed by 999 was still alive, it was indeed Wu Daniu's closest companion.

The matter goes back 20 years.

It was a winter morning. When the man of the Wu family went out to chop wood, he happened to encounter a big bird whose leg was injured by a trap.

He didn't know this kind of bird, he just felt that it was very pitiful. After a brief struggle in his mind, he followed his heart and took it home, took good care of it, and released it back into the sky after the vulture's leg injury healed.

At that time, it was spring and flowers were blooming, which was a good time for all things to revive.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu stood under the eaves, watching the vulture flap its wings and fly away, gradually condensing into a small black spot on the horizon until it could no longer be seen.

I thought this matter would end here, but unexpectedly, within two days, the vulture flew back on its own.

He also brought a thank you gift - a fat and strong badger.

Because their claws are not sharp enough and their patience and explosive power are not very strong, birds like vultures are not naturally good at hunting. They usually eat carrion from dead animals.

But the badger it gave to the Wus and his wife was very fresh, and even still had weak breathing, which showed that it took a lot of effort to take the initiative to catch it.

In the following days, the vulture would bring some food to the Wu family every now and then.

The Wu family reciprocated the favor and often brought out good things to treat it. The friendship between man and bird was slowly established in this way.

The next year, Wu Daniu was born.

The busy farming season is coming in a blink of an eye, and the work in the fields cannot wait for anyone. The Wu family and his wife are too busy to take care of other things. The vulture smartly senses their difficulties and comes to help them take care of their children when they have time.

For more than ten years, it shuttled between the wild and the Wu family, played with Wu Daniu, and grew up with Wu Daniu.

Later, the vulture became old and could no longer fly.

On a clear day, it came to say goodbye to the Wu family, and finally walked silently into the mountains.

This maverick bird was not seen again for many years.
