Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 697 The Unlucky Snow Owl

When Shanying rushed over in response to Xiaowan's call, he saw a scene that made him laugh and cry...

A large owl was lying on the ground, one claw holding a Malinois' mouth, and the other claw holding Luna's arm...

Yue Yi lay on the golden eagle's body, with one leg pressing down on the eagle's left wing, his left hand holding down the eagle's right wing, and his right hand pinching the eagle's neck to prevent himself from being pecked.

Seeing the holes in his down jacket and the flying down, you can tell that this kid had suffered a little before.

Seeing Zach and the others laughing, Xiao Wan frantically swung a wooden stick to greet the owl but was afraid of hurting her son. The mountain eagle walked over with a laugh...

He hugged Xiao Wan from behind like a professional golf coach, held her hands and tried to swing the stick a few times, and then wanted to hit the owl on the head.

Yue Yi, who was lying on the owl, saw this and shouted, "Dad, don't hit it, it's injured..."

The mountain eagle watched Luna holding a small stick, gently tapping the owl's claws, and even had time to tease the Malinois that was caught by the mouth. He said cheerfully: "If it's injured, just kill it. We'll take it back and barbecue it. Oh..."

As Shanying spoke, he covered his ribs which were hurt by Xiaowan's push. Seeing his wife looking a little angry, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll take care of it..."

As he spoke, Shanying took off his woolen hat, squatted beside Yue Yi, and put the hat on the owl's big head with a smile, then reached out and pressed one of its wings so that his son could free his hands to help...

The owl, whose vision was blocked, slowly calmed down. When Yue Yi and his father worked together to fold its wings and then held its body upright, it naturally loosened its claws and kept trying to find a place to grab...

Luna looked at the aggrieved half-grown Malinois with a smile, then came to Yue Yi's side and said, "Fez, it scratched Xiao Hei's face. Let's take it back and roast it..."

Yue Yi held the owl tightly to control it from struggling. Hearing Luna's voice, he puffed up his cheeks and shook his head vigorously, saying, "No, we shot and injured its wings. It has several babies to feed. I want to take them all back and heal it..."

Only then did the Mountain Eagle discover that several feathers at the end of the owl's right wing were broken by the bullet.

Seeing his son's anxious look, Shanying smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, animals can sense your nervousness and timidity.

If you are nervous, it won't calm down.

Listen to me, take a deep breath, take a slow deep breath, don't hold it so hard, and don't let its claws hurt you."

Yue Yi was very obedient. He took a few quick breaths and then exhaled slowly, while relaxing his arms a little to make the owl less uncomfortable.

Sure enough, after just one or two minutes, the owl with its head covered calmed down.

It is a rare experience for children to have close contact with birds of prey...

When the owl lost its crazy energy, Luna gave up the idea of roasting it. She came over and touched the owl's chest and abdomen, then said in surprise: "Its body is very hot..."

In order to protect his child from getting scratched, the eagle took off his gloves and put them on the owl's claws. Then, like a magician, he took out a strap and put the gloves firmly on the owl's claws.

Only then did he carefully observe the surrounding environment...

On top of a mound not far away, there was a shallow pit covered with feathers and moss. It should be an owl's nest, because there were several small, round little owls that looked like rice balls standing in it.

At this time, Shanying was looking at the owl in Yue Yi's hand and found that this was not an ordinary owl, but a snowy owl.

This large bird, which lives near the Arctic, builds its nest in a place such as a slope close to the tundra and the ground.

Judging from the size of those little snowy owls, you can tell that they have only been hatched for a short time.

This incubation time is wrong, and there is no sign of a male bird around...

The mountain eagle walked up to a mound more than three meters high and took a look. It found four snowy owl chicks that were only the size of a fist, and two of them had been eaten so that only a few feathers were left.

On the other side of the slope, a great snowy owl was entangled with a fox. They had been dead for some time and were frozen in the snow.

The four little snowy owls were obviously very hungry. When the huge two-legged monster, the mountain eagle, came to their nest, they could only open their mouths and call "ah-ah-ah".

Seeing this, the mountain eagle squatted down, picked up the four little snowy owls and held them in its hands, then stretched out its feet to push the snow next to it into the nest containing the flesh and blood of the little snowy owls.

Holding four hungry white dumplings, Shanying walked to Xiaowan's side and said with a smile: "Our son is kind-hearted. If this family hadn't met him, they probably wouldn't have survived a week."

Xiao Wan glanced at her son who was holding the snowy owl tightly. She reached out and punched the eagle's arm, saying, "Just protect it. It's obviously a protected animal. Are you going to let it do whatever it wants?"

"You said we are protecting animals, so we should protect them even more..."

Shanying pushed the little dumplings in his hand towards Xiaowan and said, "Look at them. If you don't give them something to eat, they will starve to death." Xiaowan looked at the hungry little dumplings, and her expression softened all of a sudden. She took off her gloves and touched the little dumplings' heads...

Seeing them chasing after her fingers with their tender yellow mouths open, Xiao Wan kicked her son on the butt in annoyance and said, "Look at what you have done. Go back quickly and let's get some food for these birds..."

Yue Yi acted very tough, and was not angry even when kicked by his mother. He held the restless Snowy Owl with some effort, and walked towards the house while avoiding Luna's harassment...

"Don't come over here. You just said you were going to roast it. It gets scared when you come over..."

"No, let me see. I just helped. It tore my clothes. Let me see, or I will..."

Seeing the two naughty kids running towards the wooden house, Mountain Eagle sighed and followed them...

As they walked, he did not forget to say to Xiao Wan: "These kids are too noisy. Is the house big enough for them?"

Xiao Wan held two little snowy owls in her hands and said as she walked, "My parents' place is definitely too small to accommodate us. People often harass us at our wedding house, so I bought two new houses near the river.

Both apartments are over 300 square meters, large enough for Yulia, Griffin Cardinal and others to settle down together.

I spent more than 4000 million just to buy the house, is that okay with you?"

Shanying heard this and said with a smile: "I'm just afraid that you won't spend money...

I don’t have much now, but I have a lot of cash. It’s not very safe to keep all of it abroad, so it would be nice to transfer some of it to China.

High-end improved housing is a good investment project, but Jinling is still a little bit lacking. You can consider buying two in Shanghai.

Alaska's direct cargo flights can only go to Shanghai. If you buy two houses there, you will have a place to stay when you go there to work.

Alaska doesn’t have many specialty products, but king salmon and fur are definitely valuable. It doesn’t matter whether we make money or not. As long as we maintain the channel, we can slowly develop more valuable trade.”

Xiao Wan knew very well that the so-called king salmon trade organized by Shanying was just to get in touch with her and satisfy her own salmon hobby from the very beginning, and it was not aimed at making money at all.

She didn't know how much money Shanying had now. Seeing Shanying persuading her to buy a house, she smiled and said, "I can't buy any more. Some people in the unit are gossiping. The two houses in Jinling have already made my father a little angry..."

Shanying was stunned for a moment, then nodded in realization...

Now that my father-in-law is showing signs of recovery, it's hard not to be jealous!
That is to say, Shanyingpu's route is too wide and the benefits to the public security department are too great, otherwise someone would definitely use shady tricks at this moment.

After figuring it out, Shanying sighed and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for our father, so the right thing to do is to let him work hard for a few years and then retire with honor.

By then, no one will tell you what to do!"

"You just can't go back..."

Xiao Wan nodded with a somewhat depressed mood, then tried to cheer herself up and said, "But it's not bad now. My salmon and fur business doesn't take up too much of my time. It's not bad to live in Thailand and Alaska for a few months each year."

When Shanying heard Xiaowan mention Thailand, he felt a headache...

Because there is a flamboyant and outgoing Tessa!
The most fucked up thing is that Tessa is actually the Thai representative responsible for connecting with my father-in-law...

Shanying could imagine the look on his father-in-law's face when he found out about Tessa's identity...

So Shanying could only laugh and change the subject, saying, "I recently decided to invest in El Salvador. The climate there is also great. I don't have to go to Thailand in the winter..."

Xiao Wan squinted her eyes at Shanying, who seemed to be feeling a little guilty, and sneered, "I don't mind what you are feeling guilty about...

Tessa was a little annoying and had a weird accent, but she was really nice to the kids.

Every time she comes, she brings gifts for the children, shows them pictures of your house in Sunset Hills, and invites them to visit Thailand...

When Sophia the Great White Shark went there, she stayed at my place for a while and she told me about your experience.

I heard that you worked as a policeman in Krabi for a while, and the land of Sunset Mountain was given to you by Tessa’s mother. I never thought that your ability to please your mother-in-law could be used in Thailand…”

Shanying looked at Xiaowan's half-smile. He suddenly became intermittently deaf. He quickened his pace and said loudly, "It's over. I forgot to defrost the beef. I have to go back and check it out, otherwise everyone will be hungry tonight..."
