Chapter 40: Crystal in the Heart (Part )

Zhang Chen looked at the falcon and decided to take the falcon back home. He wanted to train the falcon while he was recuperating!

The vixen had let him go recently, and this was the best time for him to train the falcon. As long as he carried the falcon close to him, the vixen would not risk being severely injured by the light of the righteous god to steal his falcon.

Zhang Chen walked back carrying the basket. It was not a simple matter to keep the eagle alive. He still had many things to prepare, and he also had to consult Wang Wu. He had only heard of keeping the eagle alive. As for how to keep the eagle alive and what specific details he needed to pay attention to, he still needed to learn.

Zhang Chen came down the mountain early today, cut some grass, and waited for Wang Wu at the entrance of the village. When the sun was high in the sky, he saw Wang Wu coming down the mountain carrying a fox and two rabbits.

The fox's fur is fiery red and looks as beautiful as a sunset glow. Its fur is shiny and glossy, and looks very suitable for making a high-quality fur collar.

However, Zhang Chen's eyelids twitched involuntarily when he looked at the fox in Wang Wu's hand. He subconsciously glanced towards the village, feeling a little uneasy.

"I'm lucky today. I actually caught a fox. I'll skin it and make a fox fur hat, which can be sold for a good price." Wang Wu looked at Zhang Chen from a distance, his voice full of joy.

Zhang Chen couldn't laugh at this moment. There was a vixen living next door to him. If she knew that he and others were conspiring to kill the vixen, it would be very bad. God knows what the vixen would do when she was angry and humiliated?
"I'm looking for fox fur to make a hat for my younger sister. Uncle Wang, why don't you sell the fox to me?" Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the fox in Wang Wu's hand. He couldn't bear to see Wang Wu fall into danger, so he asked to buy the fox.

Wang Wu laughed loudly when he heard this: "If you want to take this fox, just take it. There's no need for us to be polite."

Having said that, Zhang Chen still took out some silver and handed it to Wang Wu. Wang Wu refused to take it, but under Zhang Chen's tough attitude, he still accepted the silver, and then said with a smile: "I will save this silver for you, and use it for you to marry a wife in the future. You are fourteen years old this year, and it is time for you to marry a wife. By then, it will be a large sum of money."

Zhang Chen took the fox and looked at Wang Wu with a touch of emotion. He then patted the backpack beside him and said, "Uncle Wang, I caught something really good this time. Come and have a look."

"It's rare to find something that you call a good thing." Wang Wu immediately became interested after hearing this. He walked up to the basket and opened the lid. When he saw the falcon, his pupils shrank, and then his eyes were filled with burning heat. He exclaimed, "Falcon!"

"This is really an interesting thing! How did you catch it?" Wang Wu's voice was full of shock, his eyes fixed on the falcon, his gaze was full of burning heat, and his sight never moved away.

"This thing is an unlucky guy. He fell into my trap and was captured alive by me." Zhang Chen looked at the burning look in Wang Wu's eyes and said with a smile: "If you like it, just take it."

"No, this is a rare item! Do you know how much money a hunter from the next village got for accidentally catching a wounded falcon eight years ago?" Wang Wu shook his head and refused. Without waiting for Zhang Chen to answer, he stretched out two fingers, his eyes full of burning heat: "Two hundred taels of silver!"

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, two hundred taels of silver was indeed a lot of money, at least in terms of purchasing power in this era, two hundred taels of silver was enough to provide a family of five with food and clothing for ten years, and they could still live a good life.

"Can the friendship between us men be measured by money? Uncle, just take it." Zhang Chen disagreed. It was just a falcon. He could still find a chance to catch it. As long as he found the falcon's trace, there would always be a way to catch it.

"That won't work!" Wang Wu shook his head. "You can sell this thing to a rich young master in the city, and you can get at least two hundred taels of silver. Then you can buy some good farmland, build a house, and marry a wife. Your life will be perfect. This is not a hunting falcon. This is something that can change your destiny."

Zhang Chen shook his head and rejected Wang Wu's words: "I have never thought of selling it. I want to keep it with me. I was just about to ask you if you know how to train an eagle."

"Of course I know how to train a falcon, but... selling it is the best way for you to make the most money. Even if this falcon follows you to hunt in the mountains, how much money can you get? I'm afraid that even if you die, you won't be able to catch a prey worth fifty taels of silver." Wang Wu persuaded. "I'm still young now, and I have plenty of time to make money. It's rare to catch a falcon, so why not play with it for a few years and train it before selling it? The price will definitely be higher then." Zhang Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu nodded, agreeing with Zhang Chen's point of view, and then began to teach Zhang Chen the technique of training an eagle.

The two of them taught carefully, and the other patiently learned. In just half a day, Wang Wu had already finished teaching the technique of hawk training. After teaching the hawk training technique, Wang Wu said, "Just train the hawk with peace of mind. I will watch your traps for you, and by the way, I will deal with your prey and sell them in the city for a good price."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Wang." Zhang Chen said.

"Why should we thank each other as father and son?" Wang Wu patted Zhang Chen on the head, and then the two sides went their separate ways.

Zhang Chen saw Wang Wu walking away, and then looked at the red-haired fox. At this time, the red-haired fox looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of big eyes full of sadness, which made Zhang Chen sigh in his heart: "It is also a spiritual one!"

He used his Dharma Eyes to look at it and found that it was just an ordinary fox, but it was very spiritual.

Zhang Chen carefully untied the rope, and the fox rushed out like a cloud, disappearing among the mountains in a few flashes.

"You have no conscience. I saved your life out of kindness, but you ran away without even saying thank you." Zhang Chen looked at the direction where the fox disappeared, muttered and cursed inwardly, then picked up the basket and carried the bundle of grass and walked home.

When Zhang Chen returned home, he heard the sound of clinking meat being cut next door. He knew without even looking that it was the vixen cooking.

Zhang Chen cut a simple leather glove out of animal skin, then took out the falcon with the glove, then tied the falcon's legs with three hemp ropes and tied it to a pillar nearby. He then started to make a fire and cook. He wanted to feed the falcon after he had eaten and drunk his fill.

Keeping a falcon alive requires endurance. How can you do it without enough food and water?
"It seems like there is a fire burning inside my body now. I don't feel sleepy at all. This is a godsend!" Zhang Chen muttered.
