“You are very different now,” said Wang Mingbao. “You are like a hermit monk.”
“You don't understand. I like it,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
“ Anyway, I can't stand life like you on a hill, not for a single day,” Wang Mingbao said.
It was 2pm when Wang Yao left Wang Mingbao's house. The snow is still outside, but it's starting to subside. Wang Yao walked over the hill, stepped on the snow and admired the scenery. He took his time. All around him was very quiet and he could only hear his footsteps.
Screeched! He heard the birds.
Wang Yao looked up and saw an eagle hovering in the sky.
Whahuh?
Wang Yao sighed softly.
He could see that eagle was injured a few days ago. It didn't take long for him to fly again.
The eagle seemed to be watching Wang Yao. He swooped towards Wang Yao, and stopped a few inches above Wang Yao's head before circling around for a bit and then soaring back into the sky.
“Goodbye, hawk, come back often!” Wang Yao shouted towards the sky. He did not care whether the eagle understood or not.
Woof! The feed! The feed! Wang Yao heard San Xian barking, as if he was also saying goodbye to the eagle. When Wang Yao returned to his cottage, he found San Xian still staring at the sky, looking somewhat lonely. He walked towards San Xian and touched her gently.
“You are very lonely. How about finding your own partner? ” said Wang Yao.
San Xian turned his head and looked at Wang Yao before returning to his dog house. He sat there quietly.
San Xian was sad.
Wang Yao stayed with him for quite a while before returning to the cottage. It's still snowing and it's cold in the cottage. Wang Yao made a cup of black tea for himself and started reading the scriptures.
It was getting dark and the snow was still not stopped, so Wang Yao did not plan to go home for dinner. But her mother called her to ask her to come home.
The snow almost stopped when he left the hill and completely stopped when he arrived home, but it started to be windy and very cold. The wind blew into Wang Yao's face like a small knife.
“Are you going back to the hill tonight?” zhang Xiuying asked at the dining table.
“Ya,” replied Wang Yao.
“Why? Up there it's too cold and you don't even have a heater in the cottage. How can you stand the cold weather? Moreover, no one will try to destroy your herb fields on such a cold day. Don't go back to the hill tonight.” Zhang Xiuying tried to convince Wang Yao to stay at home.
“Don't worry about Me, Mom, I'm used to it!” said Wang Yao.
Zhang Xiuying did not encourage his son to stay because he had made up his mind.
On the hill was even colder, but Wang Yao was already used to it. He lay on his bed in the cottage with a thick cotton blanket. He was so fit that he did not feel an unbearable chill. The night passed quickly.
The next day, Wang Yao heard a shrill voice from the sky as soon as she walked out of the hut. He lifted his head and saw the eagle coming back. It landed on the largest tree in front of Wang Yao's hut.
Woof! The feed! The feed! San Xiao walked out of his dog house and barked excitedly.
Eagles have been living in trees except when going for food since their return.
“It looks like you will stay with us forever!” laughing Wang Yao.
The eagle flapped its wings in response.
“Haha, welcome!” said Wang Yao.
Three days after the snow began to fall, a car came to the village. It was Tian Tuyuan's car. He brought some boxes to look for Wang Yao on the hill.
The wind on the hill is cold. He had worn many clothes but was still shivering from time to time.
He walked along the small hill and looked up to find Wang Yao's cottage in the middle of Nanshan hill. He took a deep breath.
Only a very fit and healthy person can survive on a hill on such a cold day! tian Tuyuan thought.
He looked at Wang Yao inside the cottage. There is no heating inside. Black tea soon became too cold to drink.
“I brought my mother's friend's medical records. Please see, ”tays Tian Tuyuan. Tian Tuyuan brought Wang Yao some gifts as well as medical records.
“I'll read it and let you know as soon as possible.” Wang Yao glanced at the note and then put it away.
“Sure, please let me know as soon as you have a treatment plan,” Tian Tuyuan said.
“No problem. By the way, thank you for helping my friend's father become mayor,” Wang Yao said.
“Nothing,” laughter Tian Tuyuan.
He was helping Wang Yao just because he was sure Wang Yao was worth it. It was not a difficult thing to do and made Wang Yao owe him a favor one stone killed two birds.
“See you! I can't even find a TV or computer in your place, just some scriptures.” Tian Master Yuan looked around.
“Haha, I also have a dog and an eagle,” laughter Wang Yao.
“Elang?” tian Tuyuan said in surprise. “Do you have an eagle as a pet?”
“No, it just stuck to a tree outside my cottage,” Wang Yao said.
“How can you survive with a simple lifestyle like this? That's very impressive!” tian Tuyuan.
“I'm used to it!” said Wang Yao.
In fact, it took Wang Yao a while to get used to the simple life without a TV, computer, or all the other entertainment. When she was studying at university, she was living on campus. She can talk to her roommate, surf the internet at the library or go home to live with her family for a change. He used to watch TV and surf the internet. He had been alone ever since he had spent most of his time in the hut on Nanshan hill. He still has his cell phone that can be used to access the internet. But the whole neighborhood is very different from home and university. Now, he was already completely used to a simple and calm lifestyle. He even started to enjoy it.
Tian Tuyuan, on the other hand, was unable to adjust to this kind of lifestyle in a short period of time. First, he could not stand the cold. So, he only stayed for ten minutes. He left the cottage after serving the purpose of visiting. Wang Yao was unwilling to accept the reward at first but Tian Tuyuan insisted.
“Give me three days; I'll tell you what I found,” Wang Yao said.
“OK, I look forward to the news from you,” said Tian Tuyuan. Three days is not long.
Tian Tuyuan looked at the eagle on his way out and the arrogant eagle looked back at him.
“There is a surprise to all I visited here!” sighed Tian Tuyuan.
It is not unusual to see an eagle in a village or on a hill. Even less often an eagle settles so close to the village because wild animals usually reject humans.
