245 Forcefully Stay?
When Zhao Huaishan heard this voice, he replied, “I’m at home! Village Chief, wait a moment. I’ll open the door for you now!”
“I’ll go!” Li Shun stood up and walked towards the door.
Soon, Li Shun walked in with three elders.
On this side, Li Xiaoran, Li Xiaoqing, and the others brought out stools and poured a few bowls of water.
!!
“Let’s sit down and talk! The weather is pretty good this afternoon. After basking in the sun, you’ll feel warm!” Zhao Huaishan stood up and gestured for them to sit.
Hence, the group of people walked over and sat down. Then, they picked up the water beside them and drank.
The old village chief, Wei Changzheng, glanced at Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, then he went straight to the point. “I wonder what your relationship with Huaishan is?”
Zhao Huaishan smiled when he heard this.
“This girl is my granddaughter, Li Xiaoran. The guy beside her is her husband, Luo Cheng!”
“Oh, so they’re your granddaughter and grandson-in-law! This is impressive. Your two juniors are considered companions by the two eagle chicks of Eagle Village!” Wei Changzheng praised.
“Village Chief, just say what you want! There’s no need to beat around the bush!” Zhao Huaishan didn’t want to beat around the bush with the villagers, so he took the initiative to ask.
Wei Changzheng nodded when he heard this.
“Huaishan, do you know that these young eagles recognized the people from another village as their companions? This is something that our village has never encountered before. Since ancient times, these eagles have never left our village, so after a discussion, there’s only one way left!”
“You want my granddaughter and grandson-in-law to move to Eagle Village to settle down?” Zhao Huaishan guessed it.
Wei Changzheng nodded.
“What if they can’t?” Zhao Huaishan asked again.
Wei Changzheng was in a difficult position!
“Huaishan, are you guys really going to refuse?”
“Village Chief, aren’t you making things difficult for my granddaughter and grandson-in-law? Didn’t these eagles choose them themselves? Why should they suffer?” Zhao Huaishan replied firmly.
When Wei Changzheng heard Zhao Huaishan’s words, he knew that their decision was indeed unfair to the two young people.
When Li Xiaoran heard this conversation, she frowned.
Wasn’t it a little too domineering to force them to stay in Eagle Village because of eagle cubs?
Just as Li Xiaoran was about to say something, Xu Xiufang, pulled her back and gestured for her to stop talking and listen to her grandfather.
“Besides, even if these eagle chicks chose them, they can reject them! In any case, it’s fine as long as they don’t leave with the eagle chicks!” Zhao Huaishan said.
“You have a way to prevent the baby eagles from leaving with them?” Wei Changzheng asked directly.
“I have no choice! It’s the young birds’ choice! Village Chief, actually, it’s not a bad thing to let them leave with the young eagles! There are too many eagles in the village now. The wild hares have almost been eaten up by the eagles. If this continues, the poultry in the village will suffer again. Even if two of them are taken away, it won’t affect anything!” Zhao Huaishan said.
“This is against the rules!” An old man with white hair berated.
“Rules? What are rules? Do eagles acknowledge your rules? Even if thess eagle fly out on their own and find another place to live, what can we say?! Over the years, haven’t many eagles flown out? Why can’t these two eagle chicks do it?” Zhao Huaishan asked.
Wei Changzheng didn’t say anything else.
The other elders looked unhappy, but they couldn’t say anything.
After all, what Zhao Huaishan said was the truth, so they had no way to refute it.
“Why don’t we all think about it?!” Wei Changzheng finally said.
Zhao Huaishan nodded. He didn’t insist on the villagers coming to any conclusions. He stood up and sent them off.
After everyone had left, Zhao Huaishan sneered.
“Father, Mother, what’s going on? Why do they have to be forced to stay here just because the eagles took them as companions?” Zhao Xiu asked anxiously.
Zhao Huaishan explained when he heard Zhao Xiu.
“Over the years, there have been very few young people in the village who have been considered companions by the eagle chicks. The reason Eagle Village is able to ask the eagles for help is that every generation, there are people who are considered companions by the eagle chicks. In the past few years, no companions have been recognized by the eagle chicks. The people in the village were already fretting over this matter, but you guys came and were suddenly considered companions by the two eagle chicks. These old fellows must be anxious.”
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran looked at each other and finally understood.
So that was what this was all about!
“Will the people in the village really force Xiaoran and our son-in-law to stay here?” Li Shun asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let them do that!” Zhao Huaishan said firmly.
Li Xiaoran thought about the emotions she had sensed earlier and gave Luo Cheng a look.
After that, the two of them excused themselves to wash the dishes and went to the well.
“Husband, that old man who hasn’t spoken has bad intentions! He looks at us with greed in his eyes, and he’s scheming. We have to be careful before we leave the village!” Li Xiaoran told him what she had sensed.
Luo Cheng sneered when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“No, we’re safe until we leave the village. After that, we’ll be in danger!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she thought about it carefully and understood his meaning.
“Then what should we do? Are we really not leaving this place?” Li Xiaoran frowned and said.
“We have to leave! Don’t be afraid no matter how many people the other party sends! You forgot that I studied medicine before. People with medical knowledge know how to make poison. I have many things on me that I haven’t used yet!” Luo Cheng said confidently.
On the other side, Zhao Huaishan also lowered his voice and said to his daughter and son-in-law, “I know that young birds have a certain habit, and I can make the young birds leave Xiaoran and Luo Cheng temporarily! You guys can leave the village at that time.”
“Then what are we worried about?! The baby birds will still be in the village, so the villagers don’t have to find trouble with us!” Li Shun said with relief.
“It’s not that simple! I can only let the baby birds leave for the time being. When the baby birds come to their senses, they will naturally chase after the two of them and leave the village!” Zhao Huaishan shook his head and said.
