Chapter 89 At this moment, Qi Guang seemed to see Chergan again
"Uncle, can you tell me the exact time and the direction they left from?"
After asking this question, Kormu Khan replied:
"Just yesterday at sunset, I went towards the Hanging Grassland."
"The blind man was holding the big box, which seemed quite heavy. Asta asked him to put the box on the ground first, but he refused."
Uncle Asta then put his hand under his nose, fanned it and said:
“It stinks.”
"Uncle Asta, are you saying that the smell coming from the box is bad?"
Asta's nose and eyes squeezed together and he nodded.
Qi Guang and Lu Cheng looked at each other and confirmed the same idea from each other's eyes.
The box contained hyenas.
Hyenas produce a stinky substance called hyena butter, which they use to mark their territory.
The butter can retain its stench for up to a month, giving the hyenas a strong stench.
Therefore, not only do hyenas themselves emit a bad odor, their meat is also smelly.
Qi Guang had previously thought that Li Jinyang had not found any trace of the hyena, so he called Hu Zi to go to the grassland to look for it.
But now, Qi Guang overturned his previous conclusion.
Lu Cheng touched Qi Guang's shoulder and said:
"Do you also think that the hyena didn't escape on its own?"
Qi Guang nodded and said:
"According to Uncle Asta, Li Jinyang has clearly found the hyena. The ear tag doesn't have a locator. The grassland is so vast, and they're not locals, so it's impossible for them to find it so quickly."
Lu Cheng then said, "Besides, they threw away the ear tags. Don't you think this behavior is a bit strange?"
"They were afraid that someone would recognize the hyena."
"It could only be you. Only you have seen it."
After Lu Cheng finished speaking, both of them fell into deep thought. They always felt that something was not right, but they couldn't put it into words.
Qi Guang remembered that when he fought with the hyenas before, there was no one else around.
If Li Jinyang really treasured this hyena so much, there was no reason for him not to rush out and stop him.
Qi Guang said:
"If they were there, they would have come out to stop me from hurting the hyena..."
"Not necessarily. The possibility you mentioned assumes that Li Jinyang cherishes this hyena very much. What if he doesn't?"
"Also, if they were nearby, why were they so calm the last time we met? It was like they were meeting you for the first time. I don't think their acting skills are that great."
Qi Guang agreed with Lu Cheng's statement. Even if Li Jinyang could pretend that it was the first time they met, Hu Zi definitely couldn't pretend it.
So, when Qi Guang encountered the hyena, Li Jinyang and Hu Zi were not nearby.
Perhaps it was after Hyena was injured by Qi Guang that he went back to look for Li Jinyang and Hu Zi.
But according to Uncle Asta, Hu Zi was unwilling to free his hands to put the box on the ground even when he was drinking milk tea.
They were clearly watching over it so carefully, so why would the hyena run out of their sight?
Qi Guang and Lu Cheng had just solved a deadlock in their reasoning when they encountered a new problem...
The netizens in the live broadcast room were also lost in thought at this moment.
The comments scrolled by, assuming many possibilities:
[Perhaps they were drunk that day and accidentally let the hyena escape.]
[Who gets so drunk in broad daylight? It's obvious those two are up to no good. When you're doing something bad, do you let your guard down?]
Dick Yangzai: Yes, the opposite of carelessly is intentionally. Maybe that hyena was a nuisance to begin with, and they just wanted to find a deserted place to get rid of it.
"Yangzai, this is even more outrageous. Intentionally letting go is even more troublesome. Isn't this just asking for legal action?"
Little Mouse on the Prairie: Following Yangzai's lead, if releasing it is to reduce trouble, wouldn't it be better to remove the ear tag? When the anchor was fighting it that day, I vaguely saw the ear tag, but I thought it was blurry, so I didn't say anything.
[Big Brother Dagen: The live broadcast effect the anchor wanted has been achieved. Ding! It's time for the script-killing show!]
Qi Guang and Lu Cheng looked at the barrage and fell silent again.
He now wants to know why Li Jinyang took the hyena away when there are so many animals in the zoo.
Perhaps this is the key to solving the mystery.
Over there, Asta took out the photos of himself participating in the falconry competition and shared them with Kormu Khan.
After Kormu Khan took it, he turned over the cards one by one and praised Asta.
Then he handed the photo to Qi Guang and said:
"Don't be so secretive, these are photos of Asta's falcon. These are the most precious moments."
Uncle Asta looked at Qi Guang and Lu Cheng getting together, flipping through the photos and exclaiming in amazement.
He once won the championship of the Falcon Hunting Festival for many consecutive years, and his medals and photos were hung all over the yurt.
His smiling face showed more and more pride, like a late hero showing his medals to future generations.
Qi Guang and Lu Cheng were not exaggerating at all. In the photo, Asta was riding a big red horse, leaving the raised dust far behind!
A golden eagle stood firmly on his raised forearm, with its huge wings spread out, as energetic and arrogant as its trainer.
The two of them stared at this domineering photo for a long time, then turned to the next photo -
Asta stood on the snowy plain, smiling brilliantly. A giant white golden eagle landed on his shoulder, its white feathers and golden tips looking extremely gorgeous, flapping its wings as if ready to fly.
Qi Guang was stunned!
He was in a trance for a moment and thought he saw Chergan!
But he knew that was not Chergan, because Asta in the photo had fewer wrinkles on his face than he did now, but the smile on his face was wider than it was now.
"Uncle, is this an albino golden eagle?!"
Asta looked at the photo and nodded slowly, lost in memories...
After a moment's silence, Asta began to speak. He spoke few words, and Khormuhan translated them quickly:
"Asta said this was the eagle he had tamed for thirteen days."
"It was also the most special golden eagle he had ever encountered. It was very weak when he first met it, but it eventually became the champion eagle of the falconry competition."
"That was also the last falconry competition that Asta participated in. Falconry competitions have been cancelled since then."
When Asta heard the word "cancel", his originally bright smile became dim.
Lu Cheng lowered his head and stared at the photo, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Where's the albino golden eagle?"
"Let them go. Falconers never dominate the lives of eagles. When they need to find another mate to reproduce, they will let them go."
Asta gestured with his hands and described the scene of letting the golden eagle leave. His tone was not as high-spirited as before, and he looked very lonely.
Kormu Khan also became depressed and said:
"The dawn that day was green. Asta slaughtered a fat sheep, but the golden eagle seemed to have sensed something and was reluctant to eat the meat."
"It was only after Asta cut the mutton into small pieces and placed them in front of the eagle, ordering it to eat quickly, that the golden eagle began to eat the meat. After each piece, it would stop and wait for a while, as if it didn't want the meal to end so quickly."
"But the meat would eventually be eaten. When it had eaten the last piece of meat, Asta untied all the ropes on it, rode on the horse's back, and lifted it high up."
"The golden eagle was reluctant to fly away, and Asta kept lifting it up again and again..."
"Finally, thanks to Asta's persistence, the golden eagle finally flew away."
