Chapter 335 The Injured Red-Crowned Crane
Seeing his unfilial children chattering incessantly, Uncle Machida's majestic face became darker and darker.

With a sullen face, he stood up and shouted loudly: "Are you guys done yet?!"

Seeing that their father was angry, the two young men were a little scared and even took a step back. This was a subconscious reaction.

Their father was really too strict and beat them a lot when they were young, so they were actually very afraid of their father.

They get scared when their father gets angry.

However, they have grown up, and when facing their increasingly aging father, they have the confidence to confront him.

They quickly reacted, mustered up the courage, and argued: "No matter what, we are your biological children!"

"So what?" Uncle Machida yelled, "You so-called children, standing in front of my guests, talking about money all the time, it's really embarrassing for me!"

The young man was silent. He curled his lips, suddenly felt a little cold and sneezed.

After all, it was icy and snowy here. He rushed here anxiously and his clothes were not thick enough, so it was normal for him to feel cold.

"Why is it so cold? There's no fire in the heater!" the young man muttered, picked up the lighter, walked to the heater, and prepared to light the firewood.

As a result, Abao came over and waved his hand to knock the lighter out of the young man's hand.

The lighter fell to the ground and the young man turned around with a dazed expression.

"Last year, some spring birds built nests on this chimney, so the heater cannot be used indiscriminately, as it will damage the bird's nests," Abao explained.

"You bastards!" Uncle Machida got angry again: "Remember this, whether it's the stove or anything else in this house, you are not allowed to touch it!"

"Birds! You only care about those birds and not your son. You are such a bad father!" The young man turned his head and muttered in dissatisfaction.

When their family members quarrel, no one except Ze Yu can intervene.

But Ze Yu had no intention of intervening. He just stood quietly aside and watched the show with everyone.

Speaking of which, in the Conan world, "airing dirty laundry in public" is one of the most important characteristics.

In every big family or big power, there are always some people who like to make their dirty laundry known to the public.

I don’t know how they, who came from nobler backgrounds, received their education. Each one was worse and more shameful than the other.

After some arguments, everyone felt a little unhappy and left the villa.

Uncle Machida came to a wooden house and bandaged the red-crowned crane in the cage.

It is a very cruel thing to lock the free-spirited red-crowned cranes in a cage, and Uncle Machida doesn't want to do that.

But this red-crowned crane was injured, so it had to be kept in captivity and could only be released after its wounds were healed.

After tying the bandage, Uncle Machida encouraged me with some concern: "Your injury will heal soon, keep working hard!"

There was a rare tenderness on his face, and he did not show any sign of being strong in front of his children.

Throughout his life, Uncle Machida only showed his gentle side to a few people: his mother, his wife, Sawaba, the red-crowned crane...

But his mother and wife had left him, and Ze Yu rarely came to visit him, sometimes not coming for several years.

Only the red-crowned cranes have always been with Uncle Machida. Over time, he has poured more affection into these red-crowned cranes.

Uncle Machida has always been inseparable from the red-crowned cranes. He loved red-crowned cranes when he was a child, and because of this, he got to know Sawaba. Later, when he was retired, he deliberately chose a place where red-crowned cranes lived, and was ready to use all his money to take care of these red-crowned cranes.

Uncle Machida was completely sincere and treated these red-crowned cranes as his own children.

Sawaba stood beside Uncle Machida, looking at the red-crowned crane in the cage.

He stretched out his little hand and gently touched the feathers of the red-crowned crane. The red-crowned crane was very well behaved. It just tilted its head and looked at Ze Yu in an innocent way.

"Dear little guy, let me help you." Ze Yu smiled and spoke softly.

A faint arc fluorescence appeared on his little hand that touched the red-crowned crane, which was hardly noticeable.

Even Uncle Machida, who was closest to him, did not notice the slight arc fluorescence.

The extremely pure electrical energy was transmitted to the red-crowned crane's body through his arms, enhancing the crane's vitality and speeding up the healing of its wounds.

The red-crowned crane's injuries were almost healed, and only a few days were needed. With Ze Yu's help, it saved this time and recovered its health. It is now free of injuries and full of energy.

The red-crowned crane blinked its eyes. It could clearly feel that the slight pain had left it.

It flapped its wings vigorously and screamed to prove that it was fine.

"Oh? What's wrong with you?" Uncle Machida was a little curious and surprised.

"Its wound has healed." Sawawa was very understanding and answered Uncle Machida's question for the red-crowned crane.

"How is this possible?" Uncle Machida was a little reluctant to believe it: "When I checked its wound just now, it was clearly not healed yet..."

"But it's healed now." Ze Yu smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can take off the bandage and take a look."

"Okay then." Uncle Machida nodded, chose to trust his best friend, and then removed the bandage of the red-crowned crane.

There was not a single wound on the red-crowned crane's body. The injured area, which had no feathers originally, now had some fine fluff growing on it.

Soon, these down will turn back into long feathers to help it fly.

"Amazing!" Uncle Machida was surprised, then turned his head and looked at Ze Yu, and said with sudden realization: "Xiao Yu, you are helping, right?"

Ze Yu smiled slightly and did not comment.

He didn't answer, so it was taken as a tacit agreement.

Just then, Machida-san's son, the young man named 'Ahiro' came over.

His face was gloomy, and he was obviously very unhappy because he did not win the family property.

Ahao picked up the crossbow arrow placed aside and aimed it at Uncle Machida's head.

This is Uncle Machida's weapon.

At this moment, Uncle Machida and Sawawa were facing away from everyone, so Uncle Machida did not notice that behind him, his son was holding a crossbow and pointing it at his head.

"Hey! What do you want to do?" Uncle Maori was startled and immediately tried to dissuade him.

"What do you care?" Ah Hao said unhappily, "The arrows on this crossbow haven't been installed yet. It's just like a toy. There's no danger at all!"
