Chapter 46: I have been beaten, but I must train this eagle!
"Brother Erhai, I think this won't work! Wait for me for a while, I'll go home! Cut some cowhide and come back!"
Wang Xiaonian said hello and ran home , came back in less than ten minutes, carrying a piece of cowhide cut from the upper of a worn cowhide boot.
This cowhide was also a rarity at that time. When the children in the village wanted to make slingshots, cowhide was needed for the slingshot pockets to hold the stones. Many children had slingshot forks and rubber straps, and they were stuck. This cowhide slingshot pocket.
Wang Xiaonian is thin and small, and the reason why he can hang out with Zhu Erhai and other gangsters is because he has enough brains.
It is difficult to tie the eagle's legs with rope. Cut the cowhide to a suitable length, punch holes in the cowhide, and fasten it with a rope. Then the problem will be solved.
After a lot of fiddling, the two brothers finally installed the two-piece cowhide version of this big eagle!
After tying the eagle, Zhu Erhai impatiently imitated Yue Feng and wanted to set it up.
But after only trying it once, I started wailing in pain.
Although this Baba Eagle is not very good at catching prey, it is still a bird of prey after all. The nails on its claws are not decorations, they are just a handful. On Zhu Erhai’s right arm, he caught four bloody ones. Hole.
The two brothers realized that this was not going to work, so they hurriedly turned over the labor protection gloves. They put the two gloves together, but the thickness was still too thick to withstand the eagle's claw skills. The tiger's mouth and the back of the hand were caught again.
According to the tradition of eagle training, the older generations of falconers do not use protective equipment such as gloves. They use eagle sleeves or arm armor.
The arm armor is generally used for training large raptors such as eagles. The most intimate one is the eagle sleeve, a device similar to a sleeve.
This thing is sewn with cotton cloth. It is filled with several layers of cotton or other materials that are not easy to grasp through. It is packed tightly with needle and thread.
Those who are a little more particular will include diamond-shaped stitch patterns, layouts handed down from ancestors, and high-end products with sleeve moiré and other decorations.
Zhu Erhai didn't have eagle sleeves, but he had Wolong Wang Xiaonian beside him. With Wang Xiaonian's advice, Zhu Erhai found his brother Zhu Sanhai's cotton trousers from the cabinet, took out the scissors and cut off a cotton trouser leg, and then threaded it on with a big needle. Lame stitches.
Not to mention, with the eagle sleeves made of these cotton trouser legs, the eagle really can't scratch his hands. Zhu Erhai also successfully held the big eagle in his hands as he wished.
The moment he succeeded in setting up the eagle, Zhu Erhai's face showed an expression of satisfaction that he was about to succeed after overcoming difficulties.
All difficulties are paper tigers!
"Xiao Nian, the eagle has been raised, what should we do next?" Zhu Erhai was not happy for long, and he ran into trouble again later.
What he knew about falconry was not even hearsay, it was completely ignorant.
Wang Xiaonian is not much better than Zhu Erhai, but he has heard sporadic opinions from the elders.
"If you want to tame this big eagle, you have to boil it!!" Wang Xiaonian said in a very sure tone.
"Boiled Eagle?" After Wang Xiaonian reminded him, Zhu Erhai also reacted.
In the Northeastern dialect, there is actually the word "Aoying", which means not sleeping at night, and then day and night are reversed. At this time, the elders in the family will say, "So-and-so, you will not sleep at night" , where is the eagle?
"Yes, keep the eagle alive!! Just don't let it sleep at night, and the person will glare at the eagle until the eagle surrenders and then listens to the person!"
On the basis of hearsay, Wang Xiaonian made another decision I did my own secondary processing, and it’s true, it does sound like that!
"Okay, then starting from today, I will stay up with it at night! If it doesn't work and I have to drag my dad and brother to work, I will definitely give it a try!"
"Well, Brother Erhai will definitely be able to survive it and admit defeat!" After their initial opinions were unanimous, the two brothers happily admired the big eagle standing on their arms.
This daddy eagle is a three-year-old adult eagle. After being taken off the net and handed into human hands, the first reaction must be fear.
At this moment, it was in a state of strong stress, with a frightened expression on its face, its mouth slightly open, and a small part of its tongue exposed. The feathers on its body were close together, and a pair of wings drooped on its sides like a general carrying a knife. On the other side, if there is any slight disturbance, he wants to struggle to escape.
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of fleshy and dirty claws. I don’t know if it’s because I caught a frog in the mud or something, but there are many lines and gaps in the claws. The dark sludge made the already bad appearance look even worse.
But Zhu Erhai and Wang Xiaonian, who knew nothing about raptors, thought that the claws of raptors were like this. I didn't feel anything was wrong.
After all, the bloody hole in the hand was made by this big treasure, so it is more or less powerful.
The two brothers watched with their hawks for a while, then Zhu Jianshe and his wife went up the mountain to collect mushrooms and came back.
"Dad, Mom! I made a huge eagle!" Zhu Erhai approached the old man like he was offering a treasure.
Zhu Jianshe is not impatient yet, but his daughter-in-law Niu Guihua is impatient first.
"Are the sleeves on your hands the cotton trouser legs of the third son? Second son, you are still on the hawk, do you want to fly to the sky?"
The next second, from the old mother The punishment is coming.
Niu Guihua grabbed her second son's ears, picked up the broom beside the kang, and beat him all over his head and face.
In desperation, Zhu Erhai couldn't care less about the eagle. He accidentally let go of the eagle and flew in circles on the roof. Niu Guihua beat him with a broom.
The entire Zhu family was in complete chaos.
Logically speaking, when there are guests at home, most parents will save some face for their children, but when Niu Guihua saw clearly that her third child’s cotton trousers legs were ruined by her second child, The anger suddenly came up and went straight to the top of my head.
When Wang Xiaonian saw that something was not going well, he turned around and ran away without even saying hello.
After a beating, Zhu Erhai's face was so swollen that he didn't give in because he wanted to do something big.
"It's my fault for cutting off San'er's cotton trousers. I admit it, but I must train this hawk!" Zhu Erhai said very forcefully with a stern expression on his neck.
"What the hell? Are you going to rebel against Tiangang?" After hearing his son's words, Zhu Jianshe, who had never done anything, felt a little activated at this moment, and subconsciously touched the cowhide belt.
"Dad, I'm so old, can't you just listen to my thoughts before deciding whether to take action?" Zhu Erhai was quite afraid of his father's armed belt, and his eyes were obviously much clearer at this moment.
“Okay, I’d also like to hear how ivory comes out of a pig’s mouth!”
"The second boy of the Yue family in the village..."
Zhu Erhai told his father the news he heard from his third brother, adding more details.
When he heard that the live game captured by eagles could be sold in the city for money, the murderous intent in Zhu Jianshe's eyes finally faded a bit.
Before I knew it, it was almost 100,000 words. I heard that there will be smart promotion after 100,000 words. I don’t know how much it can increase by reading and collecting!
At present, it is not on the list of new books. It is about forty on the list of cities. I still want to climb up. Please pay attention and vote!
