Chapter 1927: Chapter 1934: Yu’er Is Missing (Part 2)
After listening to Cai Wei, the children all beca curious, their clear big eyes wide open, quietly watching Mother and listening as she continued.
“When a young eagle is born, it doesn’t enjoy comfortable days for long before it undergoes nearly cruel training from its Mother. Under the Mother Eagle’s guidance, the young eagle soon learns to fly on its own, but that’s only the first step as such flying is barely better than crawling. The young eagle needs hundreds to thousands of training sessions; otherwise, it can’t obtain food from its Mother’s mouth. Step two involves the Mother Eagle taking the young eagle to a high place, like beside a tree or a cliff, and then dropping them. So young eagles are so scared that they die from this.”
Upon hearing this, Jin’er’s little face turned slightly pale, and their little mouth pressed tightly, while Yu’er hugged Cai Wei’s arm, nervously saying: “The little eagles are too pitiful; their Mother is really bad, like Snow White’s stepmother.”
Previously, Cai Wei had told them the story of Snow White, and the children had a deep dislike for Snow White’s stepmother, unexpectedly using this in real life for the little ones.
Cai Wei denied it by saying: “It’s not because their Mother is a stepmother, but without such training, the young eagles cannot soar to the high blue sky. Even if they can, catching food becos difficult, facing starvation. The third step of training is full of cruelty and horror. Those young eagles who were pushed off the cliff and managed to fly victoriously face the last and most critical and challenging test, as their growing wings are cruelly broken in most parts by the Mother Eagle, who then pushes them off again from a high place. Many young eagles beco tragic sacrifices in flight during this ti, but their Mother doesn’t stop this ‘bloody’ training due as her eyes, although filled with painful tears, are simultaneously building the blue sky of their children’s lives.”
“Imperial Mother, why does the young eagle’s Mother do this? She’s awful, let’s go and save those poor little eagles.” Yu’er, hearing Mother’s story, was suddenly filled with sympathy, with their little mouth nearly crying.
Nangong Yi said: “So hunters felt compassion and secretly took so young eagles who hadn’t had their wings broken by their Mother back ho to raise them. But later the hunters discovered that those raised eagles can fly no higher than the house, as the wings, over two ters long, beca a burden.”
Cai Wei said: “The Mother Eagle ‘cruelly’ breaks most of the bones in the wings of her children, which is a crucial point for deciding whether the young eagle can freely soar in the vast sky in the future. The bones in an eagle’s wings regenerate very strongly. As long as they can endure the severe pain when broken and continue flapping their wings to keep them full of blood, soon they can heal, and after healing, the wings will beco even stronger and more powerful, like the phoenix reborn from the ashes in myth. Without this, eagles would lose their only chance and forever miss the blue sky.”
After speaking, Cai Wei solemnly concluded: “Nobody can help you fly, except yourself. Rember, everyone in their growth process will undergo so difficulties and challenges, much like the young eagle. In the face of difficulties, if you can bravely confront them, like the brave little eagle your Mother told you about, you will grow into a real man, standing between heaven and earth, standing out in the World, and protecting those you want to protect. On the contrary, if you fear hardships, always hiding in the greenhouse that Imperial Father and Imperial Mother created for you, you’ll be like the young eagle taken ho by the hunter, becoming a weakling and coward in life. Are you willing to beco a weakling and coward for a leisurely and carefree life?”
“I am not willing.”
