Chapter 1507: Chapter 724 Foreign Friends

Several horses were being leisurely led around the grassland, munching on the green grass, surrounded by more people than there were horses, all chattering away.

There are still many who fancy horses, even though there were tigers in the area. The problem is, aside from Yan Fei, nobody else could keep a tiger as a pet.

Two horse breeders and the driver started off rather clueless, pointing to the enclosed pens in the distance, asking, "Are you preparing to keep horses there?"

But after saying that, they saw a few cubs yowling and tumbling out, followed by the sight of several big tigers, and they found themselves speechless.

The two horse deliverers were from the grassland nationalities; they only sighed at the sight of tigers but were utterly astonished upon seeing the Golden Eagles in the sky. They shouted in their language for quite a while before remembering to ask someone nearby: "Why do you have Golden Eagles here?"

The old man they grabbed onto was Old Cheng, who had been reminiscing about his military days with a few veterans. Hearing the question, he casually replied: "Ah, the young boss here keeps them! Saved them along with the tigers and has been raising them ever since..."

After saying so, he continued to chat ardently with the veterans. Despite the years separating them, they had no generation gap, laughing heartily from time to time, their old faces blossoming like chrysanthemums.

Meanwhile, the two men who heard the answer became restless. Over the years, with societal developments, many aspects of traditional life among the grassland nationalities had changed. However, certain beliefs remained unchanged, such as the status of the Golden Eagle in their hearts.

The two gliding figures in the sky completely captivated the two men’s attention, and by the time their necks felt sore from looking up, they remembered to look for Yan Fei, hesitantly making a request: "Boss Yan, we heard that the two Golden Eagles in the sky were raised by you. We wonder if we could admire them up close."

Yan Fei nodded without hesitation and whistled towards the sky.

The two Golden Eagles immediately dived down without any hesitation, then flapped their wings vigorously a couple of times to slow down just before landing—one alighted gracefully on the arm stretched out by Yan Fei, while the other flapped its wings fiercely to make a turn in mid-air, managing only to perch on Yan Fei’s shoulder.

At that moment, the two horse breeders stared at the Golden Eagles, completely mesmerized. The Golden Eagles cocked their heads; one curiously locked eyes with the men, while the other playfully rubbed its beak against Yan Fei’s head, mussing up his hair.

Yan Fei said nothing. The two men watched for a long while before realizing their breach of etiquette, promptly apologizing to Yan Fei. Yan Fei chuckled and said, "No worries, no worries. I’ve heard that you grassland people are hospitable, and although we don’t have a grassland here, we are also hospitable. As long as someone comes as a guest, their small requests I can satisfy."

The two men gave thumbs up in unison; the slightly leaner one said, "My name is Burigude, which means eagle in Chinese. I’ve loved eagles since I was a child, but I’ve always believed that eagles should soar in the blue sky and never had the heart to capture one to keep for myself. Because of this, they often joke I should be called Lamb, not Eagle."

The other man hurriedly explained, "Burigude is not very good with words. We all know you saved those two eagles. What he means is, thank you for letting him see such magnificent eagles..."

"Exactly, exactly!" Burigude nodded repeatedly. "Eagles on the grassland never consort with lambs, just like true heroes never shy away from challenges. When the eagle landed just now, I saw your calmness and their reliance on you. If you were on the grassland, you’d surely be our finest hunter..."

Yan Fei was briefly bewildered by the two, who seemed quite excited and spoke with the distinctive cadence of their nationality, like reciting lyrics. Fortunately, he knew they were complimenting him and nodded in thanks.

Perhaps because of the eagles, the two men became exceptionally humble and polite. During lunch, they repeatedly invited Yan Fei to visit their homeland and even offered to serve him their local grilled meats and other delicacies.

However, these two were really not good at hiding their intentions, and it was clear from their words that they wanted Yan Fei to bring along the two Golden Eagles, which left Yan Fei not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Right after lunch, Professor Qi suddenly came looking, mentioning that the excursion group coming to see his two bugs was about to arrive.

Yan Fei’s first reaction was to rush to call Boss Niu. Ever since he talked about enlisting Secretary Qu to work on environmental protection, Old Niu had inquired a few times. However, since the group hadn’t directly visited Tanghe County, he couldn’t make any guarantees.

Now, with their impending arrival, Yan Fei delegated tasks with gusto to Boss Niu, "Tell the village to clean up, pave the sections of the mountain roads that need paving. Ask Secretary Qu to prepare a welcome, there are some foreigners coming too. After the reception, maybe get on the news or something, who knows, maybe afterwards people might start visiting your place..."

After hanging up, he thought he should also give a heads-up to Secretary Jiao, since foreign guests were coming!

Since the group hadn’t seen those two River Scorpions personally yet, their visit was still low-key. As a result, when Yan Fei informed Secretary Jiao, Jiao was taken aback: "Why are you only telling me now? They’ll be arriving soon, and I don’t even have time to prepare."
