Chapter 41

【Mutter the Saitu website three times, do you remember? If you haven't memorized it, I'll ask again in the next chapter. It's best to share it on Facebook.】

"How could I forget to take some photos? If I had posted them online, Xinyu would have become famous instantly," Lu Ming said with great regret.

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, letting out a long sigh. He had prepared many arguments, but none of them were needed. "Let's go eat. I'll make barbecue for you tonight."

Jin Hen and Jin Yu appeared in the sky over Xihan Ridge, and many villagers saw them. However, they did not think much of it. After all, Xihan Ridge was close to Cailiang Mountain, and the elders had said that there were countless rare animals in Cailiang Mountain. They often saw tigers and leopards at the mountain's entrance, so the appearance of two large birds did not surprise them.

However, in the following days, the villagers could see Jin Hen and Jin Yu flying over the village every day, and they often carried mountain pheasants and wild rabbits in their claws. This raised the villagers' suspicions. They imagined that Jin Hen and Jin Yu had caught chickens or rabbits from someone's farm.

Just as the villagers were on guard against the two large birds, news came from Han Li's side that the two birds were not stealing chickens or rabbits from the village. Instead, they had come to repay a debt of gratitude because Zhao Xinyu had saved them in the mountains.

This news surprised the villagers. They had all grown up in Xihan Ridge and had heard stories from the elders about animals repaying kindness, but those stories were usually about tigers or wolves. This was the first time they had heard of golden eagles repaying kindness.

Because of this unusual event, many villagers who raised chickens and ducks went to the courtyard to see for themselves. As Han Li and the others had said, they often saw two large birds, over a meter tall, walking around the courtyard, and each time they came, they brought mountain pheasants and wild rabbits.

However, the two large birds were extremely alert, and only Zhao Xinyu could approach them. If anyone else, even Han Li and the others, tried to get close, the birds would immediately fly away.

Xihan Ridge was different now. Every day, countless people from the city came and went, and the villagers, of course, heard their discussions.

They were also surprised and saw Jin Hen and Jin Yu walking around the courtyard through the gate. Soon, this news was uploaded to the internet.

In just one day, the news went viral on the internet, and many people rushed to the courtyard. Every day, an unknown number of people gathered outside the courtyard, hoping to catch a glimpse of Jin Hen and Jin Yu.

In the end, not only curious people but also animal experts came to the door. After communicating with Zhao Xinyu, they were fortunate enough to enter the courtyard and observe Jin Hen and Jin Yu up close.

After various comparisons, they concluded that the two large birds Zhao Xinyu had rescued were not the golden eagles people had guessed, but the long-extinct raptors, Longpeng.

This news shocked the nation. Every day, countless people came to take photos, and some even offered high prices to buy the two Longpeng from Zhao Xinyu.

Because of Jin Hen and Jin Yu, the courtyard became widely known. People also learned that the vegetables grown and fish raised in the courtyard were extremely delicious, which aroused the jealousy of some people.

One day, while people were taking photos of Jin Hen and Jin Yu through the gate, two cars stopped behind the crowd. Then, more than ten people in uniforms got out of the cars, led by a middle-aged man with a potbelly.

Unlike the others, these people rushed into the courtyard as soon as they got out of the car. They then saw Heifeng, who looked like a calf, staring at them with a fierce gaze.

Heifeng's roar made Zhao Xinyu, who was practicing, come out. Seeing the ten people at the door, Zhao Xinyu frowned.

"Who are you?"

"We are from the Pengcheng Wildlife Protection Organization. Someone reported that you are suspected of trafficking in wildlife."

Zhao Xinyu was taken aback, a hint of strangeness in his eyes. "I'm trafficking in wildlife?"

"It's you. You are illegally keeping the endangered Longpeng and using them to catch wildlife for sale. You have violated the law. We must take the two Longpeng back to the wild, and you must hand over your illegal gains and pay a fine of 300,000 yuan."

After speaking, the middle-aged man's gaze fell on Heifeng beside Zhao Xinyu. His eyes flickered. "This isn't a dog, is it? We suspect this is also a wild animal you are trafficking. We must take it away as well."

"Stop daydreaming. Pay the fine first," a young man behind the middle-aged man said angrily.

At this point, if Zhao Xinyu couldn't guess something, he would be a fool. Wildlife protection organizations did exist, but they did not wear uniforms. The people in front of him were wearing uniforms, but they were the uniforms of the city management officers.

If the wildlife protection organization were to enforce the law, they would not bring city management officers but specialized law enforcement departments, and they would present relevant documents.

But now, they had nothing, just demanding a fine and taking away Heifeng, Jin Hen, and Jin Yu. Clearly, these people had ulterior motives.

Seeing this, many people at the gate raised their cameras, which immediately angered the middle-aged man. He turned and shouted, "What are you doing? No photos allowed."

Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly and patted Heifeng beside him. "I think you've made a mistake. The state does prohibit keeping protected animals, but dogs are not considered wildlife. I have a dog license. Since you are from the wildlife protection organization, you can't just say a dog is a protected animal. I want to see your enforcement credentials."

"What the hell are you? Cuff him, and catch the Longpeng and this dog first."

The more than ten people who had come with him immediately returned to the car, taking out several large nets. Two of them rushed at Zhao Xinyu, trying to control him.

Zhao Xinyu, who had practiced the Hongmeng Zhenjing, was agile. They couldn't control him. Three people instantly grappled together.

Seeing Zhao Xinyu in trouble, Heifeng, Jin Hen, and Jin Yu could not tolerate it.

Seeing Heifeng, Jin Hen, and Jin Yu about to attack, Zhao Xinyu was anxious. Jin Hen and Jin Yu could return to Cailiang Mountain at any time, but Heifeng was different. If he hurt someone, he would be taken away.

"Heifeng, take them away, quickly."

Heifeng, Jin Hen, and Jin Yu, who had already rushed over, were slightly stunned. They immediately understood Zhao Xinyu's meaning. Jin Hen and Jin Yu flew towards Cailiang Mountain, while Heifeng rushed to the gate.

The people with the nets saw Heifeng rushing over and threw two large nets at him. Zhao Xinyu, seeing the danger, shook off the two people trying to control him, grabbed one of the net-holders, and pinned him to the ground.

The next moment, he felt a pain in his head. Turning around, he saw the face of the middle-aged man, who was holding a thick wooden club.

In the last moment before losing consciousness, Zhao Xinyu saw Heifeng's fierce gaze and managed to shout, "Heifeng, don't hurt anyone," before fainting.

The people at the gate saw Heifeng roar to the sky, his eyes turning blood-red. His massive body twisted and charged at the middle-aged man.

Heifeng, like a calf, was too strong for the middle-aged man, who was weakened by alcohol and debauchery. He was thrown several meters away and fell heavily into the vegetable field, unconscious.

Seeing Heifeng's ferocity, the people with the nets panicked, dropping their nets and running away. But Heifeng did not give them any chance. His massive body crashed into them, and without using his claws or teeth, he knocked all of them to the ground in a few minutes.

The people who had fled in fear of Heifeng's madness found that Heifeng only targeted those people. Even as he passed by them, Heifeng did not harm them, which surprised them.

After knocking out those people, Heifeng immediately returned to Zhao Xinyu's side, growling softly and pushing Zhao Xinyu with his large paws.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with amazement. This dog was too intelligent. Zhao Xinyu had told him not to hurt anyone, and he had not used his claws or teeth, but had used his massive body to knock out those people. If this story were told, who would believe it? Even if the real law enforcement department came, they could not take the dog away because there were no bite marks on the people, so it could not be said that the dog had harmed them.
