Chapter 148 Two Plans
The big eagle has a bell tied to its tail. When the wind blows, you can occasionally hear the bell ringing.
However, this big eagle, which has been free from human hands for three days, has been in the mountain forest for three days, and its wildness has gradually recovered. When people walk under the tree, the eagle will be frightened and fly away. There is no way to get within ten meters.
When the old man heard the letter, he immediately put on his leggings and hat and left the village. He followed the villagers to the woods where he saw the slow peach-tip eagle. As expected, it was the one he had lost for three days. eagle.
It all happened by chance. Uncle Chen was hawking hawks on the ridge outside the next village, and accidentally caught up with a long-tailed pheasant. Uncle Chen knew that this thing was very meaty. It was so delicious that I had no hesitation in chasing the pheasants.
As a result, the pheasant was chased by the eagle and flew into the yard of an unoccupied old house at the edge of the village.
The big eagle chased the pheasant into the yard, and soon caught the big pheasant beside the abandoned firewood pile at the south wall of the old yard and had a hearty meal.
Although the old courtyard was in disrepair and was completely dilapidated, the walls still existed. Chen Pao had lost track of the eagle and thought it was on the edge of the mountain field outside the village. He missed it as soon as he came and went. This is the best time to find an eagle.
Let’s talk about the big eagle with a slow peach tip. After more than a month of hunting every day, the slow peach tip has been fed back to the round fat by Uncle Chen.
A round-fat eagle has plenty of physical strength and can work efficiently, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, it is more likely to be rebellious than when it is less in weight.
A delicious pheasant made Man Tao Jian feel full. The big eagle spent the night on the open-air beams of the dilapidated yard.
The next day, the remaining half of the pheasant had another feast. The big eagle, which had spent the night outside, had already regained some of its wildness.
On the third day, when the pheasants were finished eating, the eagle began to be afraid of people. It went out to hunt for food from where it settled, and was soon discovered by the villagers.
Uncle Chen found the eagle he had let go, but now a new problem has arisen. The eagle has given birth and is now afraid of people. How can he catch it again?
In order to call the eagle, Uncle Chen even killed the hens that laid eggs at home. However, no matter how he shouted the command to stay away, the eagle refused to listen to the call. It would fly when people were close and fly away when people were far away. Just fall on the tree and stay.
If he couldn't be found like this, maybe Mr. Chen would be a little more angry, but now that the whereabouts of the eagle have been found, he doesn't recognize him anymore, which makes the old man very anxious.
After trying all the tricks he could think of, there was still no way to catch the eagle. The helpless Chen Pao had to send his son Chen Hongjun to find Yue Feng.
On this day, Yue Feng went out in the morning to train the big black eagle to move and follow. He was waiting for lunch at home when his eldest brother Chen Hongjun hurriedly opened the door of Yue's courtyard.
"Auntie, uncle, are you at home?"
After hearing the greeting and seeing the person clearly through the window, Yue Feng came out to greet him and said, "Are you at home, is this the big brother of the Red Army? Get warm in the house!”
"Brother Xiaofeng, we are really in a hurry, but we don't want to go inside to warm up! If you don't have anything important at hand, just come with me!"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"The eagle you gave my dad to go out to fly eagles was lost. I found it on the third day today, but the eagle was born and could not get close to it.
My dad and I tried every trick we could think of. I have no choice but to invite you over! Let’s see if there is any way to call the eagle down from the tree!” Chen Hongjun told Yue Feng the current situation in a concise and concise manner.
"The eagle was lost and spent two nights outside. Now that it is found, no one can get close to it. Is this what you mean?" Yue Feng smoothed it over and asked calmly.
"Yes! I tried every trick I could think of! In order to call the eagle, my father killed all the hens at home. The eagle just squatted in the tree and watched, and it refused to come down!"
Yue Feng Diandian Head: "Okay, I understand, don't worry, I have a way to do this! The place where the eagle fell should be near the small forest by the Muling River outside your village, right?"
Hearing Yue Feng's mouth After telling the location where the eagle was found, Chen Hongjun looked shocked, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
"You...how did you know! Did you hear the news before I came?"
Yue Feng shook his head: "I guessed it based on what you said!
Dogs have the habits of dogs, and hawks also have the habits of hawks. I, Uncle Chen, will release the hawk in front of your house. If you lose it, it will definitely be around!
The big eagle left human hands will definitely move around in a short period of time. The environment at the Muling River stall is the most suitable for the big eagle to move around, so I guessed it was there.
If it were that broad-leaved forest, it would not be difficult to recruit the eagle and catch it! The trees over there are not very tall, please wait while I pack my things! ”
Yue Feng said hello, turned around and went to the warehouse, then took out a pair of self-catching nets for going up and down the mountain, stuffed a roll of tire wire into his satchel, and walked out of the warehouse.< br>
“How did you come? Shall I carry you on my bicycle? "Yue Feng asked.
"I'm riding a bicycle! You can ride too!"
"Okay!"
After a brief communication, Yue Feng entered the house and said hello to his parents, and then rode on The bicycle followed Chen Hongjun to the first scene.
Far away, Yue Feng found seven or eight villagers gathered together, pointing at the trees in the distance.
“Brother Chen, are you over there?”
"Yes, my dad is also in the crowd!" Chen Hongjun responded.
"Take the old man away later. Don't say anything or stop me from doing anything I do!" Yue Feng has already made an arrangement in his heart to get vaccinated in advance with the big brother of the Red Army.
“Since I’m here to invite you, I’m sure I’ll do it as you say!”
Yue Feng nodded: “Okay!”
Soon, the two of them walked along the production line At the end of the road, Chen Hongjun got off his bicycle and parked it. Yue Feng also parked his bicycle, lowered his head and looked around.
"What are you looking for? I'll help you find it!"
While talking, Yue Feng found a pebble of moderate size and weighed it in his hand: "No, it's enough!"
Chen Hongjun was confused by Yue Feng's behavior. He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he could only follow him and walk slowly towards the crowd.
"Uncle Chen!!" Yue Feng shouted from a distance.
"Here it is! Xiaofeng will have to trouble you again this time!" Chen Pao stretched out his arm and waved his hand as a greeting, and started chatting before Yue Feng came up. "This big eagle is useless if it's reborn! Let's go home, and I'll train you another eagle later!" Yue Feng said loudly and deliberately.
"How can it be useless! I have let the eagle fly for a month, and it will be cooked in two days after catching it!" Chen Pao was a little surprised when he heard Yue Feng's remarks.
“I’m not going to lie to you, this eagle is rebellious and has a rebellious bone. Even if it is caught again, it will run away after being trained! It eats so much meat every day, does not work seriously, and still wants to escape. I don’t want this eagle anymore. I still have one at home. I’ll teach you a good one!” Yue Feng had already walked to the crowd as he spoke.
No matter what others thought, Yue Feng held the pebbles in his hand, rounded his arms and threw them towards the eagle on the tree.
Pop! Wow!
The pebbles hit the trunk of the tree, and then hit several branches as they fell, immediately frightening the big eagle into flying.
I wonder if the loud sound of pebbles hitting the tree trunk scared the eagle. This time the eagle did not move from this tree to the next tree, but took off straight away and flew away in the northwest direction. In full view of everyone, he flew out of everyone's sight.
"You kid, I asked you to find a way to catch the eagle. Why did you scare it away with stones?"
Chen Pao watched the eagle fly away and felt uncomfortable in his heart. This is my own baby bump.
Yue Feng put on the cotton muff again and said to the crowd watching: "Everyone, please leave. My uncle feels uncomfortable gathering here!"
The eagle was thrown away by stones, and there was no excitement. The onlookers quickly dispersed and turned towards the village.
Chen Hongjun shouted specially: "Brother Erhe, thank you for seeing the eagle reporting the news! Brother, I will talk to you later!"
The man named Erhe rushed to Chen The Red Army waved his hands, then turned to comfort Uncle Chen: "Uncle, if the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come in! If they fly, they will fly away. Let's start again when we get back! Go home and drink water when you have time!"
" Okay, go back and slow down, man!" Uncle Chen didn't understand at all, but the proper etiquette was still in place.
When they were almost gone, Yue Feng said calmly: "Don't worry, this eagle is only three days old and can't be lost!"
"Xiao Feng, you..."
Hearing that the eagle could not be lost, Chen Pao's original expression of disappointment was instantly replaced by surprise.
Yue Feng gave Chen Pao a reassuring look and said comfortingly: "Go home first! People don't have wings. No matter how many people surround them, they can't catch the eagle back! Let's wait until dark before we can catch the eagle. Come here!”
“Okay! It’s up to you, go home first!”
……
Soon, a group of three people pushed their bicycles back home with the old man.
After entering the room to warm up, Chen Pao couldn't wait to ask: "Why did you just say that this eagle is rebellious and can't be taken? You are throwing stones and scaring the eagle!"
Yue Feng grinned: "If you don't say that, how could those villagers who were watching the fun leave? They wouldn't be able to accept it emotionally if they just drove them away! After all, in name, everyone is helping us find the eagle!
Again It’s just that if you want to catch the eagle, it’s not easy because there are too many people and many variables!”
“The eagle has been scared away with stones, let’s go. Where can I find it? We don’t have wings either!” Chen Pao continued to ask.
Yue Feng grinned: "The rabbit is running all over the slope, and sooner or later it will return to its nest! I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Taking ten thousand steps back is equivalent to the sky. Why don't we spend more time training one out? I still have one in the warehouse. The little eagle hasn't been trained yet!"
"You mean...that eagle will go back to the small forest just now?" After hearing Yue Feng's remarks, Chen Pao finally understood the general logic. .
Yue Feng nodded: "There has been no strong wind in the past few days. The eagle that has just floated will definitely not be able to fly far in three or two days! When we leave the village, there is the Muling River. The surrounding area is the most suitable. The place where the big eagle feeds and spends the night is in the small woods near the river! There is a high probability that the eagle will still wander around here. "
" This... what you said seems to make sense! So what are we going to do to catch the eagle? I'll ask your brother to prepare it first!" Chen Pao thought about it after hearing what Yue Feng said. This is indeed the truth.
"Do you have a flashlight at home? Just replace a few new batteries! Then, in the evening, carry the bamboo pole in the yard!
The first plan is to wait for it to get dark and use a flashlight to shine on the eagle. We found it and used the bamboo pole to pick up the noose to bring the eagle back! "Yue Feng said very calmly.
"What about the second option? "
"The second option is that if we find an eagle that has fallen too high into a tree branch, or if we make a mistake in setting up the eagle, we will go to the forest to set the net before dawn tomorrow morning. I have an eagle catcher in my pocket. As for the Internet, just ask my brother to buy a pigeon! "
After listening to Yue Feng's two plans, Chen Pao nodded, feeling relieved: "Okay, then I'll listen to you! ! It’s time for dinner too. I asked your aunt to prepare delicious food for us. Since I haven’t seen you for many days, let’s have some drinks at noon! "
Yue Feng grinned: "Hey, I listen to you, just drink as much as you want! ”
The eldest nephew came, and Aunt Chen was very helpful. As soon as the old man said hello, Aunt Chen immediately started organizing in the kitchen. Just after twelve o'clock, the six dishes on the table were already arranged.
Fried peanuts, fried green onions with eggs, stewed hare with radish, canned luncheon meat, stewed pork belly with sauerkraut, and a stewed potato with roe deer meat.
When Yue Feng came home, Chen Pao’s eldest son Chen Hongjun also paid great attention to it. He also brought Baishan Daqu from his home, and he and Chen Pao accompanied his brother to eat and drink at home. They spent most of the meal together. We were talking about hawking and hunting recently. We didn’t drink much, but we were in high spirits.
Lunch was eaten until about 1:30 in the afternoon before leaving the table. Then we made tea, drank water on the Kang table, and chatted for half the afternoon.
After learning that Yue Feng had caught the legendary Haidongqing from the mountain, and had just gone up the mountain to kill a roe deer with an eagle and successfully turned it into an eagle in the past few days, Chen Pao's curiosity was also aroused.
"You said that you used a Haidongqing weighing less than four kilograms to hunt down a roe deer weighing dozens of kilograms in a selective logging area on the mountain?" After listening to Yue Feng's description, Chen Pao looked somewhat displeased. Believe it too much.
After all, the weight disparity between a four-pound eagle and a fifty-pound roe deer is beyond the scope of ordinary falconry.
“Yes! It swooped down from the sky and kicked a hole in the skull behind the ears of the roe deer! This eagle is now hovering above my head and can follow it from Wudaoliang to my yard!” Yue Feng said with great confidence.
"Then I have to go to your house to see it another day! This is the best falcon that only the emperor can own!" Chen Pao said.
“You can watch it at any time! But I feel that I am not satisfied with the training at this point!
Nowadays, there are dogs and guns. If you go up to the mountains to hunt big livestock, you don’t expect the fighting power of this sea turtle at home. I estimate that it can kick a roe deer, deer or something to the sky, no matter how big the skin of a wild boar or something is. It’s rough and thick, and it doesn’t do anything! "
"The eagle can catch the roe deer, but you are not satisfied yet! So what do you want it to do? ”
