Chapter 160 I’m back

Pei Yuan is a junior student at Jinling University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He comes from a well-off family and doesn’t need to do part-time jobs. However, he works as a tour guide every holiday and has already had taken several tours to Southeast Asian countries on his own.

This summer vacation, he chooses to guide tours in Jinling.

Traveling to Jinling City becomes very popular as everyone wants to see the “mysterious hawk of the State of Huaxia”. Zhongshan Mausoleum has become a popular destination. For example, the tourists Pei Yuan guides this time are a dozen young people from Korea.

Young people are easy to get along with each other and they can always come up with new ideas. This time, their request is simple: they want to observe the golden hawk alone in the Zhongshan Mausoleum at night.

This idea may be strange, but Pei Yuan has met more tourists with even stranger ideas. Compared with those ideas, this request is just a little bit difficult to meet. Definitely, they cannot stay in the scenery spot. Therefore, Pei Yuan provides tents for them to stay at night. They encamp on a hill near to observe the hawk after all the tourists have gone.

Finally, all the tourists have left and the moon rises. The Koreans are very much interested. Some of them take out high-power binoculars and looks at the golden hawk sitting on the archway of Zhongshan Mausoleum.

Seen through the high-power binocular, moonlight covers the feathers of the golden hawk, adding a touch of softness to it. The leader of the Korean group is a man with whiskers. He is, at the moment, full of joy looking through the binocular.

Goldie is very sensitive. It looks at the direction of this small hill and there is dignity in its eyes.

The man with whiskers mutters something in Korean. He speaks very fast and Pei Yuan, who can only understand simple daily communication in Korean, cannot catch him.

“What a beautiful golden hawk. It should belong to the Republic of Korea!” A Korean woman in her twenties sighs deeply. Her eyes are beautiful and they are now covered with greed.

“It is hard to tell if her double-fold eyelid is a result of a surgery.” Pei Yuan says to himself unkindly. He feels a little regret taking this job. Korean people have become more and more outrageous. They applied the Dragon Boat Festival for world heritage and claimed that Confucius was a Korean. It seems that the world belongs to them. Pei Yuan feels sick.

Pei Yuan feels repulsive at her yelling. Luckily the golden hawk sets its home at Zhongshan Mausoleum and doesn’t leave no matter what happens. Otherwise, if it flew past the territorial sky of Korea, it would be Korean now.

Just as this idea comes up to Pei Yuan, he suddenly finds something wrong.

Why is no one talking?

Finding them set tripods for their cameras and takes out phones to take pictures, Pei Yuan lets out a sigh of relief.

The explanation is not necessary, so Pei Yuan takes out his new phone and prepares to take a few pictures of the golden hawk standing under the moon as a memory for this tour. After taking the photos, Pei Yuan looks at the Korean people around and he is surprised —

It seems to Pei Yuan that the tripods they set look like a gun after a.s.sembling!

Holy c.r.a.p! These Koreans are up to no good!

Pei Yuan makes judgments inside his head. Pretend to know nothing? Or risk his life? His intellect tells him the best choice is to pretend to know nothing and to call the police when he can. For a college student, however, it’s almost impossible to stay reasonable at this very moment!

When he is hesitating, however, the Korean woman turns back with a faint smile on her face: “Mr. Pei, sometimes it’s better to see nothing.”

Pei Yuan fakes a smile. It’s true that they come after the golden hawk!

Then… Will they kill it? Or do they want it alive?

How will they take it back if it is alive?

They must have an inside man at the Customs, otherwise, they cannot take such a big hawk out — d.a.m.n it! What should I do? Pei Yuan now realizes that it is a terrible mistake for him not to learn any self-defense skills.

What a pity. It’s too late.

The man with whiskers has aimed at the golden hawk with the gun, which looks like an anesthetic gun rather than a lethal weapon. Pei Yuan takes a step forward and the Korean woman stands next to him, ready to stop any movement of his.

Pei Yuan has no choice other than helplessly watching the anesthetic needle, which is thicker and longer than an embroidery needle, released from the gun and shot towards the golden hawk. Move! Pei Yuan’s breath is accelerating. Studying in Jinling, he has heard a lot about this extremely powerful golden hawk and he believes that it can avoid the attack.

Why is it not moving?

Pei Yuan feels baffled. For Goldie, actually, this so-called “anesthetic needle” is less harmful than a bite of a mosquito. It was not afraid of the “Golden Blade Spell” of gold nature back then. Why should it care about a needle made of ordinary iron?

However, they are, after all, provoking it!

Lin Luoran once told it not to harm people, but she never told it not to fight back when being provoked. Goldie moves its wings and is about to teach these people who dare to provoke it a lesson. At this moment, a familiar smell appears and Goldie hesitates.

Is that…? Goldie is lost. It has been waiting for this moment for three years, or maybe, it’s just a delusion?

Pei Yuan is shocked. The Koreans are holding their guns and they all feel very nervous — why is there a person?

A white, slim hand catches the needle and throws it onto the ground.

Under the moonlight, Goldie cannot see clearly the face of the person, but it can feel clearly their deep connection now that the barrier of the isolated dungeon is gone. Goldie will never mistake someone else for her — it is the owner! She is really back! It turns back into the silly, baby-like Goldie at once. Goldie freezes and waits for Lin Luoran to come to it.

A hill away, the Koreans cannot see Lin Luoran’s movement of catching the needle, so they think someone comes out to “rob” the golden hawk from them and they become furious. They take out long-range guns and aim at the person. When they are about to shoot the hindrance, they find that the person of whom they can only see the shape jumping up in the sky with no help!

That’s not possible!
