Chapter 142 Ask the Eagle to Come Down
Eagle thieves exist all over the world.
In the Arab world, falcon is a symbol of power, wealth and status.
There, taming falcons became a noble and even a national sport.
A vigorous adult eagle can be sold for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in the Middle East.
Faced with the huge temptation of profit, raptor smuggling cases occur from time to time.
Guo Yang didn't expect that he would run into him.
I am very angry, but also inexplicably excited. Catching poachers is exciting.
He contacted Zhang Wei and brought people and cars to follow.
Qiao Feng wanted to refuse, but the journey was too far and the noise was too loud, which would easily alert poachers.
But when I think about the desert, it’s vast and sparsely populated.
I agreed.
The off-road vehicle was speeding all the way, heading towards the grassland we just captured.
The grassland is very empty, with no human habitation in sight, only endless rat holes.
……
There is a piece of Gobi in the hinterland of the desert.
There were many mice, many hares, and many lazy rabbits. Scarface got up early, fed the rabbit hawk, and prepared to release it.
He started taming his first eagle at the age of 22. Now he is over 60. This is the 23rd eagle he has tamed. He has always been wronged and cannot starve the eagle.
He has tamed these eagles for three years, and it is time to set them free.
We walked from morning to noon before we saw the Gobi desert.
In the distance, I saw a moving figure with a scarred face and sharp eyes. There were several nets on the Gobi. One net contained pigeons and two nets contained rabbits.
Another one actually tied an eagle with a rope tied to its legs.
The eagle suddenly flew up and suddenly fell down, screaming continuously.
In baiting the eagle!
Scarface quickly hid.
Eagle stealer?
Scarface was frightened and stroked the hawk resting on the falcon gauntlet.
"It's so scary. I walked a few more steps. I let you go a little earlier, but I had you captured."
After breathing for a while, Scarface walked back a little further. Son, I found a pile of rocks and thought about what to do.
I can only go back and call someone.
One person is no match.
But it is best to observe the situation again.
Then he let the falcon wander around, while he sneaked closer and stared as sharply as an eagle's eye.
See more clearly and become familiar with the terrain.
Approach carefully again.
See more clearly.
The two people have high noses and hair all over their bodies. They look like foreigners at first glance, but the rest of them look like Chinese.
These foreigners again!
In recent years, more and more foreigners have been poaching, and almost all rabbit hawks have been caught.
There are also dog traitors!
I counted eleven people in total.
Two of them were doing something unknown, and one was tinkering with a black box.
He changed his position again, moved forward a little more, and saw clearly, but he couldn't help being shocked.
Densely packed, there are dozens of cages, all with eagles!
The two foreigners are holding needles and threads, trying to catch the eagle's eyelids!
This group of people wants to escape!
The eagle has sharp eyes. As long as he opens his eyes, he can recognize the distance traveled. Once he is released, he will definitely fly back to his hometown.
And the black box.
This group of people are veterans.
Scarface shuddered.
Watching the eagle struggling in the hands of foreigners, he felt heartbroken every time it screamed.
Suppress your heartbeat.
He calmed down and stepped back.
To save the eagle, we cannot let this group of people escape.
Scarface ran wildly all the way out of the desert and into the grassland. He mounted his horse. The dense rat holes affected the horse's running. He insisted, the national highway was ahead.
That group is running away!
Scarface has a ferocious face and only one belief in his heart, to stop them. He hunts all his life and kills countless yellow sheep and foxes. Only when he is old does he feel guilty and joins the anti-poaching patrol.
The eagle is his favorite.
The Rabbit Eagle seemed to be connected with his mind, and flew away from the Orion Glove, its cry resounding throughout the sky.
……
Xu Xiaoxue was on her way. She was tired of seeing the scenery on the grassland and felt bored. The cry of eagles in the distance attracted her attention.
Take out your camera and look for a shooting angle.
One person and one horse galloping over.
I got closer, stopped in front of the car, and saw it clearly.
The person who came had a white beard on his chin and a long scar on his face. It was hard to tell where it was from. It was very scary.
There is no ink on the scarred face.
"Have you brought your phone?"
Xu Xiaoxue was surprised. The eagle hovering in the sky also fell down and stopped on the visitor's right forearm.
One person and one eagle stared at her.
I felt panicked.
Scarface was impatient. If he waited any longer, it would be too late. "Hurry up, I want to call the police."
Xu Xiaoxue took out her cell phone and handed it out.
“Can I take a photo?”
Xu Xiaoxue spoke softly, pointed at the eagle carefully, and motioned to the camera in her hand.
She recognized it, it was a hunting falcon!
With a straight face, Scarface took the phone, tried it, and asked in a fierce tone, "How to use it?"
Xu Xiaoxue bit her red lips lightly, why is this person so fierce?
Scarface called the police.
But thinking that the police might not be able to find the place, he made the only phone call he remembered.
Xu Xiaoxue, listen, poaching?
...
As evening approached, Qiao Feng led Guo Yang and his party to meet the police in the grassland.
There were eight police officers in two cars, all fully armed. Guo Yang was filled with adrenaline.
The leader was a middle-aged police officer, whom Qiao Feng called Lao Duan.
Lao Duan took over the command.
To prevent poachers from escaping at night after hearing the news, they were divided into several groups and acted in unison.
Wait until we are about to leave the grassland. In order to prevent the car from roaring and scaring the opponent away, a few more people were left nearby to block the road.
The rest abandoned their cars and walked at night.
The night is getting dark, the night wind is blowing, and my body feels chilly.
There are many rocks and cobbles in the Gobi, making it easy for people to fall. Qiao Feng walked to the front to lead the team. He was familiar with the terrain of the Gobi and his movements were delicate.
I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.
The cry of eagles was heard in the dark night, startling Guo Yang.
Two dark figures walked out from under the pile of rocks.
Qiao Feng asked: "Why are there still women?"
The night was very dark, but one could tell that the woman was very young and had a good figure. It wasn't that Qiao Feng looked down on Scarface, but they must have nothing to do with each other.
Scarface whispered: "I borrowed her mobile phone to make the call, and she followed me, saying she was a reporter."
"Hello, I am a reporter from China Seed Industry Weekly... ..."
Lao Duan interrupted in a low voice, "We don't have time to chat now, where are the poachers?"
"We still have to go a little further."
"Then let's go."
Guo Yang was concerned, Seed Industry Weekly? Have you ever reported on Tianyu No. 1? Central media reporter?
As we gradually approached the poaching habitat, the group of people fell silent. Now, the road became smoother.
Scarface pointed to a few specific points.
Lao Duan then divided into groups, with each two police officers leading a few people. Guo Yang, Qiao Feng and the reporter stayed behind to follow Lao Duan.
They split up and touched it quietly.
Guo Yang quietly touched two stones, while Xu Xiaoxue turned on the camera in her hand.
The combination in front of me includes policemen, hunters, people in work clothes, and this young and skinny leader?
She thought, it was a very interesting experience. If you have this experience while traveling, you will be able to boast about it when you go back.
When I arrived in front of the small room, I held my breath.
When there was a shout from the farthest group, Lao Duan was the first to rush into the hut.
Guo Yang followed the door and turned on his flashlight. When he shined it, he saw that the quilt on the floor had been opened, the liquefied gas was still on, and the smell of meat came from the pot, but he didn't know where he was.
"Escaped?"
There was a cooing sound in the hut, and I scanned it with a flashlight. The cage was still there, and the falcon was flapping its wings.
Fortunately, his eagle is still there.
Yes, Guo Yang has regarded these eagles as part of his land.
To recruit an eagle to kill rats, you must have an eagle.
"Where to escape?" Scarface shouted, and Guo Yang turned around quickly.
One person runs away and another person chases him.
Lao Duan shot into the sky and shouted: "Did you catch him?"
"Five people."
"Four."
"Put on handcuffs and get them over here."
Lao Duan shot three more times into the air, signaling the driver to The car is coming.
Scarface's sullen face relaxed, he put the rabbit hawk on the shelf, walked over, and took the pot down.
"Hey, it's still mutton, come here and have a bite."
"You guys eat, we'll search again."
"What can we search for? It's so dark, people go to the sand Just dive into the sea and search for a hair?”
Several police officers still jumped into the night.
“Come and eat, come and eat, and stop taking pictures of that girl.”
Scarface found a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of mutton. It was very satisfying to eat.
"It smells very good, but it's a pity that there is no wine."
Guo Yang also felt hungry, and his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
So he and Qiao Feng sat down together.
The female reporter also sat down. She looked really good. She was not tender-skinned, but rather heroic.
Maybe he was also hungry, so he ate meat in large gulps without any fuss.
After eating a few mouthfuls of meat, the heat came up, dispelling the chill brought by the cold wind.
Guo Yang looked at the eagles in the cages, "Now we have a plan to recruit eagles to kill rats."
Scarface asked: "Do you want to plant an eagle on a pier? Rabbit eagles also like to eat Mouse."
"Eagle Dun?"
Qiao Feng said with a smile: "Yingdun is a place for eagles to rest. It has been passed down from our ancestors. It is a tradition to recruit eagles to kill rats.
It's just that now it's called a scaffolding, just like Scarface. The hunters are also called Yingdun and Falcon Rabbithawk."
Scarface laughed and said: "My rabbithawk is very powerful. I catch two to three hundred rabbits a year. I sell one in the city. 10 yuan can be sold for two to three thousand."
"You haven't sold it yet."
"It's all gone. At that time, the whole family relied on falcons to catch it. The prey is spending the winter.”
Guo Yang asked: "Does the province set up hawking racks to control rodent damage?"
"Why not? It's just that hawking rackets are slow to achieve rodent control and are not suitable for short-term rodent control.
Also, one scaffold can only control 400-500 acres of grassland. The grassland area is too large and the province’s finances are tight. It has always relied on state subsidies, so there is no money to do it.”
Xu Xiaoxue also flashed. Eyes, this was the first time she had heard of the eagle, which was a great experience.
“It would be more ecological to recruit hawks to kill rats. The pollution is serious enough now.”
Qiao Feng nodded: "Indeed, although manual hawking and rodent control is slower than chemical control, it does not pollute the environment and can be used for a long time with one investment.
It can maintain the ecological diversity of the grassland and the health of the ecosystem with less medication. Cycle.”
Scarface ate the meat at this time, got up, and found meat in the house to feed the falcon. Then he stayed with the falcon and stroked its feathers.
Guo Yang looked envious and said,
"I can also install scaffolding on my grassland. 500,000 acres, that is, 1,250 scaffoldings, a few million is enough."
Xu Xiaoxue was surprised and looked up at Guo Yang, with grease still on the corners of her mouth.
Scarface also stopped watching.
Damn, this is still a rich man!
Qiao Feng sighed: "The treatment of this eagle is too good."
Scarface said: "Divided houses?"
Guo Yang chuckled.
"This is called talent introduction. Of course, you will get a house and move in with your bags."
Xu Xiaoxue wiped the grease and said with a smile:
"Please come down the mountain and give the plundering bird Building a nest.”
