[Extras] Kesar and the Muztag Iceberg (1)
Extra.
Crash.
At the foot of the Muztag iceberg, the clear ice melted water slaps the crystal ice, making a pleasant sound. A few small yellow flowers are blooming at the bottom of the rock on the shore, nodding slightly with the flow of the wind.
"Water! It's water!"
The sound of rapid footsteps sounded, and a figure stepped forward quickly, lying on the bank and burying his entire face in the water, drinking the cold and sweet ice water.
"Goo~"
The round head of the snow-feathered owl turned 90 degrees, and looked at the master with some worry, for fear that he would be drowned by water.
"Ah~ come back to life!"
Caesar suddenly raised his head from the water, and the wet hair fluttered with crystal water droplets, reflecting the crystal luster in the sun.
He wiped his face casually with his sleeve, hurriedly took off the kettle that was on his waist, opened the lid, shook it clean, and pressed the entire kettle into the rushing water.
Gumbling.
Watching a series of blisters emerge, a smile appeared on his chapped lips.
Putting the water-filled jug aside, Kesar turned his head to look at the alert-looking Snow Feather Owl: "Snow, it's your turn to drink."
Then he pulled out his sharp waist knife: "I'll let you go."
"Goo~"
The snow-feathered owl spread its wings and fanned, and carefully moved its claws into the ice water.
"Goo~"
Standing in the water, the snow-feathered owl seemed to be motionless, letting the rushing water hit its feathers.
Seeing this, Caesar put his dirty hand into the water, and then threw it at it with a smirk.
"Goo~"
The Snow Feather Owl shook and shook off the water droplets on his body.
Then he tilted his head 90 degrees and looked at Kesar, his golden eyes flickering slightly.
"No, I'm joking." Seeing this, Caesar stepped back quickly.
"Goo~"
The white wings spread out, and countless water droplets smashed towards Caesar overwhelmingly.
"what!!!"
Caesar's screams rang out in the empty wilderness.
"Ah!"
A bonfire was burning on the leeward side of the boulder, and Caesar squatted naked by the fire, shivering with his hands on his shoulders.
"Cuckoo~"
The snow-feathered owl, who spread his wings to shield him from the wind, made a strange noise, as if he was laughing.
"You said, I'll just splash your bit, how about you! Ah Chi!" Kaiser rubbed his red nose: "It took me a long time to get to the foot of the mountain, and now I'm fine, Ah Chi."
"Goo~"
The Snow Feather Owl turned his head, as if he didn't quite understand the owner's obsession with the iceberg.
Kesar held his knees in one hand, and picked firewood with a wooden stick in the other.
The sudden surge of flames made his face flush red, and with a crackling sound, countless sparks were reflected in his brown pupils.
"Xue, do you miss Mom and Dad?"
"Gu~" Snow Feather Owl tilted his head.
"Yeah, I think so too, but I haven't seen them."
"Actually, I'm not really a Taji, because my mother is from the Xia clan." Speaking of which, he rested his chin on his knee: "Grandpa Yugesek said that my father was with my mother against the opposition of the whole family. ."
"Then the uncles of the whole clan kicked Dad out."
Speaking of which, his eyes were empty, only the faint reflection of the flames.
"I don't know if they lived happily in those days. They should be happy, because I was born."
"Later, there were soldiers from Tianzhu Kingdom trying to invade Daxia's land on the border, and Dad went too."
"Then he slept forever in the arms of the mountains."
"And then, my mother gave me, who was just a full moon, to the patriarch's grandfather, and went with him."
"I lost my parents like this."
Kesar's tone was very flat, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"Goo~"
The Snow Feather Owl gently patted his head with his long knife-like wings, his expression a little sad.
"It's alright." A smile appeared on Kesar's face: "I'm also very happy with Grandpa Yugesek~"
"Although some people hate me very much and will call me wild, but I really don't mind at all." Kesar's eyes were slightly red, as if to convince himself: "After all, this is where I was born and raised. ."
The wind on the plateau was howling, and Kesar calmed down, his eyes sparkling.
"Since then, I have been holding back my heart, I want to become a man like an eagle, an eagle of the Pamirs!"
"I want to prove to the tribe that even if I am only half of the Taji blood, I can protect the Pamirs like my ancestors and protect my Daxia territory from being violated."
"However, at the Nadam conference, I didn't get the recognition of the condor." The light in Kaiser's eyes dimmed: "I really suddenly lost hope of living at that time."
"Until I met you."
Kaiser opened his hands to gently hug the Snow Feather Owl, his face against its thick feathers and closed his eyes.
"You said how stupid you are, you can still be injured during the migration."
"Goo~"
The Snow Feather Owl remembered the scene of their first meeting, and his golden eyes softened.
"Your appearance has rekindled my courage. Even if I am not recognized, I will follow the tradition to climb to the top of the snow-capped mountain and meet the condor in person." Kaiser murmured as if asleep: "You will You've always been with me, right?"
"Goo~"
"Brutal!"
At this moment, an eagle cry suddenly came from afar.
With a waist knife in one hand, Kesar looked vigilantly in the direction of the Muztag iceberg.
Under the clear blue sky, several huge eagles were driving a young eagle, and they kept pecking at the young eagle with their cold beaks.
"grumble-"
The tired young eagle flapped its wings clumsily and made a tender chirping.
Kaiser's expression changed.
"Snow!"
The snow-feathered owl flapped its wings, and ice-blue elemental particles wrapped around the wings, condensing long ice blades.
"Goo!"
With a cold turbulent blowing up the dust, the snow-feathered owls rushed towards the adult eagles with long white trails behind them.
"Brutal!!"
A few goshawks quickly dispersed upon seeing this.
In the end, the Snow Feather Owler took the young eagle and flew back.
"Goo~"
Caesar took the scarred young eagle and wanted to help it heal the wound with some distress.
"grumble-"
The young eagle opened his hand with one wing, hiding behind the boulder and watching them vigilantly.
The Snow Feather Owl was about to get angry, but was stopped by Kaiser.
He took out a piece of jerky from the package he was carrying, and carefully cut a small piece with a waist knife and handed it to the young eagle.
"Eat."
The young eagles continued to watch them vigilantly, their feathers fluffy, and they opened their beaks and made chirping sounds.
"Then I'll put it here."
Kaiser Muna took off the sliced meat, pushed it with his waist knife not far from him, then turned around and cut the jerky with his belt to share with the snow-feathered owl.
The fluffy feathers on the young eagle slowly fell, and it looked at the piece of jerky with a hint of desire.
Taking advantage of the two people not paying attention, it quietly stuck out a small paw, quickly grabbed the meat slice, and retracted it.
I ate happily.
After eating, it patted its belly with its wings in satisfaction.
"What kind of eagle are you? I haven't seen you before."
"grumble!"
The body of the young eagle froze for a moment, and it spread its wings and tried hard to drive away Caesar.
"Okay, okay, we don't make water from the well."
Caesar had no choice but to retract his head again.
From time to time, he secretly glanced at the young eagle, only to see it raised its head and stared into the distance.
Follow its gaze.
There is an impressive iceberg of Muztagh.
