Chapter 220 - 219: Everyone saw that it was the eagle that came over on its own!

Chapter 220: Chapter 219: Everyone saw that it was the eagle that came over on its own!

The Black Kite soared in the sky.

Xu Yang looked up and saw its silhouette.

The drone’s camera also captured it in real-time.

Little Black Kite circled above Xu Yang’s head, flying lower and lower.

It recognized Xu Yang.

The viewers were unaware of the story behind it, everyone was just marveling:

[Look, there’s an eagle!]

[Is it an eagle? It’s flying so low!]

[The scenery in the mountains is really beautiful!]

[It seems to be flying down!]

In the camera’s view, the Black Kite grew larger as it indeed descended.

Xu Yang could tell that the bird wanted to fly in front of him.

Xu Yang felt a bit excited.

This Black Kite was very handsome, with thick plumage and piercing eyes.

Even though it was a juvenile, it already exhibited raptor characteristics.

Raptors always seem aloof, carrying a chilling sensation unique to hunters.

The viewers noticed this scene and found it quite peculiar.

[It’s flying down!]

[Is it going to hunt Old Xu?]

They exclaimed in amazement.

At that moment, the Black Kite was already fluttering its wings as it descended.

Its wings spread, gently flapping to slow its descent.

It looked as if it was looking for a place to land.

Xu Yang knew what to do and immediately stretched out his arm.

Then, Little Black Kite landed straight onto Xu Yang’s outstretched arm.

The raptor’s talons were sharp, but when alighting, the Black Kite carefully avoided injuring Xu Yang with its claws.

Instead, it stood on his arm with the soles of its feet and tightly grasped with its toes.

Xu Yang felt two grips on his arm as if he was wearing two bracelets.

The viewers: ???????????

For a moment, the live stream went quiet.

Wait, what’s going on?

This eagle just landed so neatly on your arm?

What the heck?!

Xu Yang realized this was not quite right and quickly explained:

"As everyone saw, this Black Kite landed on my arm on its own."

"I don’t know it, I’ve never been in contact with it before."

"I’m not familiar with it, really not familiar."

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, the comments exploded instantly.

[Are you kidding me? This is what you call not familiar?]

[Old Xu, it’s illegal to keep raptors as pets!]

[Wow, you actually keep an eagle?]

[Even now you deny it, who would believe it isn’t yours!]

[Maybe you should watch your own video playback before you repeat that.]

The viewers were full of comments.

More than 100,000 people in the live stream saw this scene, it would be strange if the comments didn’t explode.

"I’m really not familiar with it, and I don’t know why it landed on my arm."

Xu Yang still tried to explain.

"This is a Black Kite, a second-level nationally protected bird species, a kind of raptor."

"Their plumage is all brownish, and many times when people think of eagles, they’re thinking of Black Kites."

"This guy is pretty impressive, fast in flight and with good vision."

"This is my first time observing one up close."

Xu Yang stared at the Black Kite close at hand.

Little Black Kite looked up, also gazing at Xu Yang.

It was Xu Yang who had saved it all those years ago, and now it was showing gratitude for his life-saving help.

"This guy should be less than a year old, about six or seven months old."

"To fly so well indicates it is well-developed."

"Really nice."

Xu Yang praised, even reaching out to pat the little one on the head.

Little Black Kite didn’t resist, letting Xu Yang’s fingers touch its chin and head.

[Still saying it’s not yours!]

[Report the host for illegally keeping a raptor!]

[In China, except under special circumstances, it’s not allowed to keep raptors, Old Xu you’d better explain!]

[Even now, you still say you two are innocent!]

[Definitely yours!]

The live stream was still lively.

Xu Yang glanced at the comments and explained:

"I really don’t know why this Black Kite flew to my arm, but if I had to guess, I think this Black Kite might be the egg I saved back then that hatched."

"I’ve lived on the farm for so long, no one has seen me keep a raptor, there’s evidence for that."

"It really flew to my arm on its own."

"I’ve only just met it."

Xu Yang held Little Black Kite up, showcasing it to everyone.

Hearing his explanation, many people believed him.

But still, it looked absurd.

[Judging by the age, this Black Kite really could be the one that hatched from that egg!]

[That’s too crazy!]

[How did it just land like that, so precisely!]

[Old Xu, are you sure you’re not a Druid with this kind of ability?!]

As everyone was still amazed, two more raptors flew past overhead.

They made calling noises, as if beckoning.

Hearing this sound, Little Black Kite cocked its head to look at Xu Yang, then with a strong push of its talons upwards and a flutter of wings, it flew towards the sky.

Xu Yang understood and purposely raised his arm to give Little Black Kite an upwards push.

The man and bird coordinated quite well.

Little Black Kite shot straight up into the sky.

"Look at the sky, the Black Kite’s parents are calling for it."

"Now I can confirm this is Little Black Kite!"

"It really recognizes me,"

"Truly a wonder, it knows that I once saved its life,"

Xu Yang said, looking up at the sky, feeling moved.

The drone flew up, aiming towards the sky.

All that was visible was the direction Little Black Kite had taken off in, with two adult Black Kites circling overhead.

Seeing this scene, netizens were dumbfounded.

[Wow, does this Black Kite have spirituality or what?]

[This is just too incredible; it hasn’t even seen you before!]

[Could it be that Black Kites naturally feel close to you?]

[Absolutely preposterous!]

The events unfolding in the live stream were unbelievable.

But they had happened right there and then.

Today’s broadcast was destined to be fantastic.

There was nothing too unusual following that, and Xu Yang made his way out, his mood greatly uplifted.

He passed through woods, thickets, and streams, watching several foolish roe deer drinking water.

All along the way, many little sparrows were flying to and fro.

Breathing in the fresh air of the mountains, he felt utterly at peace.

When it was around time, Xu Yang shut down the live broadcast.

Then he walked out of the forest and took a car back to the farm.

Today’s live stream was especially popular.

When tallied, the popularity value was over 300,000, which was indeed outrageous.

Xu Yang also found it quite remarkable.

"When it was popular before, it was just around 100,000 or a max of over 200,000 once,"

"Now it’s suddenly jumped to over 300,000."

"Feels like it suddenly took off."

Slow accumulation leads to sudden success.

The popularity of Xu Yang’s videos online had been built up bit by bit, and this time his live broadcast of the wild Northeast Tiger naturally brought high heat.

By evening, Xu Yang’s live stream had sparked a lot of discussions.

Short videos, forums, B站, Weibo, and other places were abuzz with topics related to him.

"This guy is truly fearless, daring to be with a wild tiger; I feel like he could be in danger at any moment!"

"It’s like he has something that can control the tiger, he doesn’t seem afraid at all!"

"I suspect he’s some kind of hidden expert living in the mountains!"

"A lot of people are guessing that! Definitely a hermit from the mountains!"

"You guys didn’t see it today; an eagle just landed straight on his arm, too unbelievable!"

The news on the internet is always exaggerated.

Many speculated that Xu Yang was a Cultivator hiding in the mountains.

These rumors, Xu Yang found absolutely preposterous.

But there was no question about it—Xu Yang was indeed formidable.

The title "Number One Freerunner of Changbai Mountain" wasn’t just for show.

In the evening, Xu Yang returned to the farm.

Xiao Hua still hadn’t come back, seeming to have found her footing in the forest.

For this, Xu Yang was very pleased.

Little Black, Yuanbao, Little Deer Bambi, and Black Horse Jingzhe were all wandering around the yard.

Watching them play, Xu Yang’s mood relaxed further.

With Xiao Hua absent, Xu Yang began to contemplate getting a new pet.

The farm was already quite large now; the number of animals was small, making it seem emptier.

At this moment, Wang Wu and Zheng Xiangqian came over to report on their work.

"Farmer, we’ve planted all the crops in the greenhouse, and we’ve also taken care of the Hawthorn and Hai Tang,"

"The fields outside have all been tilled; the grass and potatoes are all planted."

"All that needed planting is planted. I see there’s still a lot of empty land. Should we plant something else? Otherwise, it seems a waste,"

Wang Wu suggested.

The empty land on the farm was indeed extensive.

Because Xu Yang had rented even more this year.

The fences had all been expanded outward.

"Aren’t there still peanuts, sunflowers, and Gem Corn?"

"These should be enough."

"We already have plenty of projects this year."

"We’ll have to see how we handle it come autumn,"

Xu Yang pondered and then instructed.

"Okay, truly, maintenance would bring even more tasks,"

Wang Wu replied.

Zheng Xiangqian looked a bit uneasy as he asked Xu Yang,

"Farmer, I’d like to use one of the rooms to set up a small gym. Would that be okay?"

"I’ll buy the equipment myself."

"Just some basic stuff."

Hearing Zheng Xiangqian’s request, Xu Yang looked at him and said with a smile,

"That’s easy to handle—you won’t need to spend your money."

"Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll allocate some budget, and you guys can set up a gym and a pool room."

"I can’t give much, just 30,000 yuan. Make a budget sheet for me to review."

"Then you can just order online."

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s response, the employees were overjoyed.

Xu Yang didn’t think it was a big deal.

Cultural activities were also a part of the daily routine at the farm.

It was important to provide a place for everyone to engage in activities.

Having somewhere to unwind from time to time was also nice.

This was only the beginning. In the future, if funds allowed, the farm could expand, and things like an indoor basketball court could be considered.

After all, it was a large farm; it had to have some substance.

Hearing Xu Yang’s plans, Zheng Xiangqian was somewhat surprised.

"Farmer, is that okay?"

"What’s the issue? They all know I’m not one for formalities. Just make the budget, and the gym’s on you. Keep it within 30,000,"

Xu Yang waved his hand and answered.

Hearing this, Zheng Xiangqian immediately nodded and agreed.

He stayed back that evening to start planning.

The management of the farm was indeed human-oriented, starting from scratch.

Now, it was just a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, but in time, it would become a modern, large-scale farm.
