But very quickly, Bai Xiaobei's face turned a little green, his own shoulder felt a piercing pain, although it was not pain, but his clothes were torn apart and pierced through.
The Gyrfalcon's claws were too sharp, and the quality of its clothes were very good, but now, it could directly pierce through.
Bai Yu just so happened to feed the fish and grumbled a few words about how well the fish did not eat the fish, and when he saw the Gyrfalcon on his son grabbing onto his clothes, he immediately shouted, ”You don't even have an eagle shell, don't let it stand on your shoulder, your clothes are all tattered.”
He didn't know that Bai Xiaobei's clothes were tens of thousands, if he knew, he would probably die from the pain.
”Eagle?” Bai Xiaobei was startled: ”I don't have it, why would I sell it? Dad, do you know where I sell it? I'll go buy one. ”
”For sale?” Bai Yu shook his head: ”Don't be silly, the hawk is an old toy and its price isn't low. The main thing is that it's not easy to find.
Bai Xiaobei who was looking at the Gyrfalcon was startled, and immediately exclaimed: ”Really? Does my grandfather have one? ”
”Your grandpa didn't, but your grandpa did. I've seen it when I was young, and I heard that he spent quite a bit of money to get it from a prodigal trash, a descendant of the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners.”
Bai Yu remembered that when he was young, he would often follow behind his grandfather. On his grandfather's shoulders, there was an extremely large falcon;
Bai Xiaobei impatiently ran towards his grandfather's home. If not, he would not need to wear clothes in the future, no wonder this eagle claw could break bones, it was simply as sharp as a sword.
Arriving at an old house, this was a relatively small house. After spending three thousand yuan to buy it that year, it became the place for Bai Xiaobei's grandfather and grandmother to retire.
”Grandma, where's my grandfather?”
When they entered the door, saw that his grandma was still washing the vegetables. The old man was almost eighty, but because he had been drinking Hericium Erinaceus s often and Bai Xiaobei had also been sending vegetables irrigated by the Spirit Rain, the old man's stamina grew better and better.
When the grandma saw the eldest grandson, she pointed to the house and happily said, ”I'm listening to Beijing Opera. Have you eaten yet? I've cooked some porridge, let's eat here. ”
”Straight away!” Grandma, I'm looking for grandpa. ”
The moment he entered, he heard the sound of Beijing Opera. He had listened to it so early in the morning, so his grandfather had quite the taste.
”Xiaobei, why did you come here so early in the morning?”
It was almost always in the afternoon when he suddenly ran over in the morning. The old man was surprised for a moment before he stood up from the recliner and turned off the Beijing opera.
Then, a golden figure suddenly rushed in and landed on Bai Xiaobei's shoulder.
”Be careful, Golden Eagle! Eh? Gyrfalcon? You tamed a Gyrfalcon? ”
The old man was startled, Gyrfalcon were a kind of falcon. Usually, in the vast regions of North America or Asia, the ancestors of the Manchu race would call them male kuru, which meant the highest and fastest bird. It had the meaning of the Myriad Hawks God, which meant that the totem of the Manchu race was extremely representative.
His father had a falcon back then, but it was just an ordinary falcon. Because he liked falcons, he told him a lot of information about falcons.
”Birds are flying in!” Eh? Hawk? ”
Grandma also walked in and directly went to close the door to catch the bird. When she saw the Gyrfalcon standing on her grandson's shoulder, she was also stunned.
Bai Xiaobei gently caressed the Gyrfalcon and laughed: ”Grandfather, how is it? Isn't it amazing? ”
The old man carefully observed for a moment, then said while sucking in a breath of cold air, ”This is a yellowish variety, only second to Jade Claw. Good heavens, you look at it with such sharp eyes.”
And then he suddenly realized something. ”Bastard, you're targeting your master's eagle set? Did your father tell you? ”
He had a set of eagle tools left behind by Master Bai Xiaobei, which were considered precious. He had always wanted to keep them, since he had always liked the falcon so he did not sell it.
”Really?”
Bai Xiaobei was overjoyed, his shoulders were full of holes now, his clothes had obviously been destroyed.
The old man nodded and sighed: ”Yes, there is, and it was in the early days, when your great-grandfather met a descendant of the Eight Flag's descendants at the antique market, he sold almost all of his ancestors' items, and even sold them to your grandfather for several tens of dollars. There was even some commotion at home for a few days, and I was only a teenager then, so I have a deep memory of it.”
Back then, his father thought that he had spent money randomly and came back to argue for a few days. However, the things he bought back were indeed worth it, because within a few years, there were already people who wanted to buy them for a few hundred yuan.
”Wait a moment, I'll go and dig it out for you.”
The old man bent down and pulled out a red wooden chest from under the bed. This chest was even bigger than Bai Xiaobei's father, it had been living for a long time, but it was extremely sturdy.
After opening it, he took out a black package and opened it layer by layer, smiling as he said, ”I thought I wouldn't be able to use this in the future, but I didn't expect that your uncle and your father wouldn't be able to. In this era, I've actually let you use it.”
He stretched out his hand to feel it, then carefully pulled out an elbow guard. It was a very fine leather sheath that was about 30 centimeters long. On the leather sheath, there were several small eagle-like paintings.
The inside of the leather jacket was covered by a layer of strange fur. It was glued together and could be freely retracted. It was attached to the arm.
Grandma sighed, ”I remember what Mom said before. Dad spent dozens of yuan, which was half a year's worth of wages. It was a waste, and for a while, our family would be full of hunger, all due to hunting.”
