Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Is You Cang Being Targeted?
Soon, You Cang descended from the sky and landed steadily on Yuan Bao’s arm.
"You Cang, I thought I’d never see you again!"
"Why didn’t you come earlier?"
Yuan Bao simply sat on the ground and reached out to stroke You Cang’s feathers.
You Cang clearly couldn’t understand Yuan Bao’s ramblings.
However, it seemed to sense Yuan Bao’s mood and gently rubbed its head against her cheek, as if to comfort her.
"You Cang, I’m going to the city!"
"In the future, I don’t know where I’ll go; we may never have the chance to meet again!"
"Take care of yourself!"
"Don’t ever get hurt again!"
"Go, go, let’s meet again if fate allows!"
Although she really wanted to take You Cang with her, occasionally enjoying the game it brought, she was heading to the city. There were too many people in the city, especially those rich young masters. If they set their eyes on You Cang, wouldn’t that endanger it?
Yuan Bao stood up, signaling You Cang to leave quickly.
Jiang Er was dumbfounded the entire time.
When they were in the village, he knew this sister was not simple, but it wasn’t until now that he realized she was even more impressive than he imagined.
Even an eagle was her friend!
You Cang quickly spread its wings and took off, but it didn’t immediately fly away. Instead, it circled in the air for quite a while, only flying off after Yuan Bao resumed her journey, heading in the same direction as hers.
However, You Cang flew too fast and vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"Sigh!"
Yuan Bao sighed inwardly, knowing she would have to bear everything alone after all.
This time, Jiang Er didn’t say a word, occasionally sneaking a glance at Yuan Bao, his twinkling little eyes filled with awe and admiration.
Yuan Bao shot him a sideways glance but ultimately didn’t drive him away.
Oh well, although this guy didn’t look like someone who could handle things, at least he was a half-grown kid, and having him around was somewhat of a comfort.
Even though Yunyang City seemed within reach, walking there felt like a never-ending journey.
The saying ’distant mountains tire horses’ from the ancestors truly stood the test of time.
"Sister, are you tired?"
"Shall we take a break?"
"I still have half a cornbread; do you want some?"
After walking for a while, Jiang Er started to chatter again.
Yuan Bao was genuinely hungry!
But seeing the half cornbread Jiang Er pulled from his pocket, she suddenly felt she wasn’t hungry at all, and even a bit nauseous.
"Damn it, being petty is really pretentious!"
Yuan Bao despised herself from the bottom of her heart.
Having left home to beg for a living, she was still picky and choosy.
Yet, her thoughts and bodily reactions were completely out of sync.
Watching Jiang Er nibble at the cornbread bit by bit, Yuan Bao felt she might be having a mental breakdown.
Skree!
Just then, You Cang’s cry echoed from the sky again.
Moreover, You Cang was flying neither high nor fast.
At the same time, there were sounds of hooves and shouts from the riders on the official road.
Could it be that someone had set their eyes on You Cang?
Yuan Bao’s heart tightened instantly.
She had heard that when people caught eagles, they would tame them. If successful, the eagle could be trained; if not, the eagle would most likely die.
She definitely didn’t want You Cang to die!
It wasn’t long before You Cang descended from the sky again, landing on Yuan Bao’s arm.
Almost simultaneously, a group of riders arrived, surrounding Yuan Bao and Jiang Er.
