Chapter 16 The possibility of catching sables with the big green kite
Bleeding, holding the wings and thighs of the chicken with both hands and turning slightly upside down, letting the big green kite bite.
This big green kite is also very smart. The chicken skin is thick and difficult to tear in other places, so it changes the position where it eats meat to near the bleeding carotid artery.
Chicken blood stained the kite's head and face, but Yue Feng did not intervene and allowed the kite to continue tearing apart.
When the big green harrier's crop swelled and was completely full, its entire chest, head and face were covered with bright red chicken blood. At first glance, this bloody and thorny appearance looks quite tragic and terrifying!
After this battle, the Big Green Harrier was completely transformed. After eating, he stood on Yue Feng's arms, with his two eagle legs stretched out diagonally and vertically. His crotch was easily more than three fingers wide when standing, and his pair of eagle eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Yue Feng rested with the kite for a few minutes, then held the hawk in his right hand and the pheasant in one hand, and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
On a trip to Xiaoyingwei, Yue Feng brought home a total of 18 chicks and a large pheasant. Although he did not break the hunting record in his previous life, Yue Feng was very happy.
On the way down the mountain, Yue Feng held an eagle in his right hand and a pheasant in his left hand, humming a little tune and feeling quite happy.
However, this relaxed mood only lasted for a while and was completely broken.
On the main road at the head of the village that must be passed on the way back to the village, at the information office of the canteen, there are also old ladies from the village gathering there.
How about walking around the fields outside the village and taking a path home?
Just when Yue Feng was hesitant, he saw a woman with a big red flower on her head waving at him from a distance.
This woman with a red flower on her head is named Chen. She is a widow. Her husband died in her early thirties and she has never remarried. She usually likes to gossip with her wife. She has a rich family and a short family. There is some trouble in the village, but she is not there. Don't know. People gave her the nickname Xing'an Yizhihua, and even the brigade secretary wanted to give her three points.
If the Xing'an Village Intelligence Office wants to elect a director, she, Widow Chen, will definitely do her part.
Well, now that someone has seen it, there is no point in taking a detour.
Yue Feng gritted his teeth, strode over with an eagle on his back.
"Second son of the Yue family, did you go up the mountain to fly eagles? Did you catch a big rooster?"
"Yes, Aunt Chen! You were lucky, you picked up a pheasant on the mountain! Are you chatting here?”
“This little eagle is quite capable, it can catch such a big pheasant! Your parents are very lucky today!”
"It's not bad. My dad's legs are not healed yet. Give him some nutrition! You guys are chatting here, I'm going back first!" Yue Feng exchanged a few pleasantries and strode towards his home.
When Yue Feng's back was gone, another person named Wang Meilan who was mixed in the crowd curled her lips and said in a sly voice: "I'm just going to cheat you guys by setting up a little bird-catching eagle to catch pheasants." I don’t understand! I bet that 90% of this pheasant is a condom stolen from the mountain!
The second boy of the Yue family looks very polite, but he is also a bad guy at heart! Look at the blood on Qiao Erying’s chest! , isn’t it true that there are three hundred taels of silver here!”
Wang Meilan’s family has always been at odds with the Yue Feng family. His man’s name is Liu Changfu, and he is from the same production team as the Yue Feng family. The two families once had a dispute over their own vegetable garden. After Yue Lei made a move, Yue Lei gave in and the other party still refused to let go. As a result, he got angry and gave Liu Changfu and his father a good beating. The matter was settled when they went to the brigade.
When Wang Meilan said this, everyone was silent for a while. Although the Yue family is a single family in the village and has no close relatives, Yue Lei and Meng Yulan are both down-to-earth, hard-working and kind-hearted, and have always been well regarded by the villagers.
Li Yinhua, the proprietress of the canteen, saw that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, so she added: "The second boy did not say that it was caught by an eagle, but picked up on the mountain! There are also rules for setting up traps on the mountain, and you cannot keep the mountain wealth to yourself. , whoever picks up a small mountain thing like a pheasant belongs to him!”
Widow Chen also echoed: “I have also heard of the rules of going up the mountain. It does exist. The second boy of the Yue family still has it! Very filial! Just go up the mountain alone and tie up a small eagle, it is difficult to catch the big one! I guess you are lucky today!
I tell you, Ma Laosan in Fang'an is the one who goes up the mountain. An expert in hunting, he gave me a wild boar thigh last autumn, and my mother and I ate it for half a month.”
……
While the Cuntou Intelligence Department was trying to trick everyone behind their backs, Yue Feng had already returned to his home with a hawk on his back.
Dad Yue Lei was walking around in the yard on crutches at the moment. When he saw his son coming back, he immediately put down what he was doing and came over to greet him.
"Dad, I'm back!"
"Hey, you picked up such a big male pheasant?" Yue Lei's first reaction was that he picked up the rooster.
Yue Feng grinned and shook his head: "This chicken was not picked up! The green kite chased away half of the chicken, and a big rooster got up next to it. As a result, it flew less than ten meters and was captured!
This kite is so courageous. It holds the tiger's head with both claws. The chicken was stunned for a moment, and one of its eyes was pecked out by the eagle! I bled the chicken on the spot and gave the kite a hearty meal! "
"This green kite dares to fuck a big cock? That is worth cultivating and cultivating! "Yue Lei knew that his son didn't like to brag. Although he was a little surprised after hearing this, he still believed his son's words.
Yue Feng nodded: "Well, after a while, the grass on the mountain will be almost defeated, I will take him with me Let this big green kite try a greyhound! If the greyhound can hold on firmly, when it snows, you can still try to track the sable! "
Greyhounds are squirrels. There are a lot of them in the red pine forests now. Their fur and meat are both good things, not to mention sables. The mink fur is one of the three treasures in the Northeast. That’s it!
A complete piece of squirrel autumn and winter skin is worth at least 8-10 yuan. For sable skin, the ordinary complete product is at least 20 to 30 times more expensive, starting at about two to three hundred yuan. If it is a top-grade Dagong skin, Depending on the quality of the fur, the price will be higher. If the market is good, it may be sold for hundreds or even thousands.
This is a hot commodity that can be exported to earn foreign exchange. Every year, the supply and marketing cooperative has the task of purchasing it.
Hearing his son mention using an eagle to catch sables, Yue Lei's eyes suddenly lit up.
The tighter the market for fur products, the higher the requirements for the perfection of the skin. In this regard, falconry has an extremely obvious advantage.
Whether it is a slingshot, an air gun, a small caliber, or a shotgun with bullets filled with sand, the fur you hunt will have obvious damage, and the quality of the leather will be at least one level lower. Unless you are a sharpshooter, every bullet can Hit the prey's head with precision.
Even if it is caught with a clip or a condom, there will be subtle injuries on the neck and chest. The quality of the leather is inferior.
The top quality skin must be obtained by throwing the prey to death or drowning it in water while it is still alive, and then taking the skin while it is still hot.
Using an eagle to catch squirrels or sables is actually not that simple. Squirrels are better, slightly smaller, and not too ferocious. As long as the eagle is brave, the success rate is still quite high.
However, sables are one size larger than squirrels and are carnivores of the mustelidae family. It is much more difficult to catch them with an eagle.
