When most people saw those red eyes, they would probably scream in fear, turn around and run away, but Lingbao pushed aside the grass without fear.
"It turns out to be an eagle owl..."
Looking at the huge owl in front of her, the little girl smiled and said: "Lingbao was just wondering what it was, but it actually has such a pair of red eyes, just like two big lanterns."
The eagle owl is the largest and most ferocious owl in the world. It is half as tall as an adult man and is considered large in the world of raptors.
Despite its chubby body and its big eyes, it looks cute and harmless. Its claws are four centimeters long and very sharp. With just a slight scratch, the skin and flesh will be torn open, and the body will be ripped apart.
Belly.
It can eat chickens, rabbits or foxes. If it is very hungry, it can also hunt sheep. Even eagles are no match for the eagle owl at night.
"Hey, you don't want to eat Lingbao, do you?" the little baby said, "I'm telling you, I just ate a big eagle a few days ago, so I'm not interested in you, you'd better take advantage of me when I don't have the intention to kill you.
, leave quickly, otherwise..."
"Gu... Gu... Gu..."
"What? You want to follow me? Why are you following me?"
The eagle owl shook its head and said in a low voice, "Gu..."
Lingbao blinked twice blankly, "Do you like Lingbao?"
"Gu...gu...gu...gu..."
"Wait a minute, I can't raise you," Lingbao interrupted the Eagle Owl, "and you've grown too big. My parents and brothers will definitely be afraid of you. Besides, if you
What should I do if I scratch them?”
The eagle owl called "coo" a few more times, as if to express its determination.
After saying that, without waiting for Lingbao's reaction, it suddenly spread its wings and flew high into the sky at a very fast speed, like an arrow off the string, and disappeared into the dark sky.
In less than five minutes, it flew to Lingbao with a pheasant in its mouth, shouting proudly, "Gu... Gu..."
"Okay, okay, I know you are very capable and you found the pheasant I wanted easily."
Xiao Lingbao struggled for a while and compromised: "Okay, Lingbao will take you to see your mother first. If she is willing to raise you, you will live in my house from now on. If she doesn't want you, you have to leave."
."
"Gu..." The eagle owl rotated its head happily.
Its neck is very soft and can rotate 270 degrees, which looks very scary.
Lingbao patted its head and said, "Don't be so scary. If you live with me in the future, you have to listen to Lingbao. Do you understand?"
The eagle owl called a few times and flapped its wings.
Lingbao looked at the pheasant on the ground and asked the Eagle Owl, "Hey, do you think this chicken is a rooster or a hen? Lingbao wants a hen that can lay eggs."
"Gu..." The eagle owl said that it does not recognize roosters or hens, it only recognizes female eagle owls. It is a male. If it encounters a female eagle owl, it will smell it right away.
"That's right, you're not a rooster, so it's useless to ask you." Lingbao thought for a while, "No matter what, let's put it in the chicken coop to raise it first and see if it can lay eggs. If it can't lay eggs, let it go."
Mother stewed it."
After putting the pheasants into the chicken coop, she threw the wheat that had been planted in advance into the trough, and then sowed wheat seeds in the spiritual field. After using her spiritual power, she returned to the mountains and brought the eagle owl back to her home.
.
When he got home, Lingbao saw white smoke rising from the kitchen chimney.
"Mother is up!" The little baby brought the eagle owl into the kitchen and happily called to her mother, "Mother, mother..."
"Lingbao, are you up? Mom is still thinking of letting you sleep a little longer today." Shen Su'e said with a smile while kneading the flour into a ball.
Noticing that there seemed to be someone else behind her besides Lingbao, she asked casually: "Is Tu Gen awake too?"
"Ah? Tugen hasn't woken up yet."
Shen Su'e looked up at the wall and saw three shadows reflected in the firelight of the stove, one was herself, one was Lingbao, and another...
She couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and asked nervously: "Ling, Lingbao, isn't there anyone standing next to you?"
"There's no one, but there's something else standing..."
"What other thing?" Shen Su'e thought it couldn't be a ghost, right?
With fear, she slowly turned her head. When she saw the Eagle Owl, she was so frightened by the huge owl in front of her that she shook violently, "What, what...what? Is this...an owl?"
"It is an eagle owl, a type of owl, but bigger than ordinary owls," Lingbao said. "It said it liked Lingbao and wanted to follow Lingbao, so Lingbao brought it back."
After saying that, as if thinking of something, she added, "Yes, it said that we don't need to feed it, it will find food by itself, and oh, it said that it will not hurt the humans that Lingbao cares about, mother, no need Fear."
"This, this, this...that's it, then it is equivalent to your pet, Lingbao, right? Just like a cat or a dog, is that what you mean?"
"So be it," Lingbao patted the eagle owl's head and said with a smile, "it said that it can fly for hundreds of miles without rest. Maybe we can let it help us deliver messages in the future. Mother, Lingbao can take care of it. ?"
Shen Su'e calmed down and felt that apart from being too big, the eagle owl was pretty good-looking, but it was easy to be frightened by its red eyes as big as copper bells in the dark.
"Okay, as long as you like Lingbao."
"Since mother agrees, then you can follow me from now on."
After the little milk baby finished speaking, the eagle owl was so happy that it spread its wings and flew up, but Lingbao grabbed its wings, "Don't fly around in the house, you have to fly outside when you can."
"Gu... Gu... Gu..."
"Name? You still want a name? Let me think about it..."
Lingbao couldn't think of a name, so she asked her mother, "This eagle owl said it wanted a name as nice as Lingbao. Mother, what do you think it should be called?"
"Oh, my mother is not very educated and she is the worst at naming things."
Shen Su'e said, putting down the dough in her hand, "Shall I go find your elder brother? Let him help think of a good name...
No, no, neither can your eldest brother. Although he is doing well in school, the names he gave to tree roots and soil roots are not that good."
"Gu...gu..."
Listening to the eagle owl's anxious urging, Lingbao smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? Aren't Lingbao and my mother thinking of a name for you?"
Looking at its big eyes, the little baby suddenly had an idea, "Mom, would you like to call it 'Lantern'? Its eyes are like red lanterns."
When Shen Su'e heard this, she nodded immediately, "Okay! Lantern is a good name, it sounds easy to hear, and it goes well with this big owl."
"Haha, okay then, from now on its name will be lantern."
The lantern called "Cuckoo" a few times and seemed very satisfied with its name.
"Daughter-in-law, I heard a strange noise in the kitchen," Jiang Qingshan said while yawning, "Did you hear it? Did a bird get in?"
As he spoke, he stepped directly into the kitchen. He was so frightened by the huge owl in front of him that he took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.
"Hahaha... Why are you so timid than me?" Amused by her husband's frightened look, Shen Su'e laughed and said, "This is Lingbao's pet. We just named it Lantern. "
