Chapter 461 Pigeon Shao'er
"Sister, have you seen that the bald man is so powerful?"
Wang Zhenzhen raised his little head, stared, and looked shocked.
"Yes, we have captured all the eagles. No wonder those kite guests specially gave gifts to your brother-in-law after meeting Er Baldy."
Wang Susu said, seeing The son ran up to the dead eagle on his short legs and shouted quickly: "Ruirui, what are you doing? Don't touch it and get blood on your hands."
Chen Ling turned around and smiled: "It's okay. The bald guy scratched the eagle's head to pieces. It's quite clean and there's no blood."
Looking at his son squatting in front of the eagle, he pulled open the eagle's wings curiously, and then He raised his head and swallowed saliva at him, looking like a greedy cat.
“Dad, Rourou.”
“You, I’m greedy for everything I see.”
Seeing this, Chen Ling squatted down and touched the back of his head speechlessly. Said: "You can't eat this, the eagle meat is very unpalatable."
"Brother-in-law, why is this eagle's belly gray-white? It looks black when it's in the sky."
Wang Zhenzhen said curiously.
“Well, it’s because they flew too high and we can only see black shadows...”
“Oh, then why did the eagle catch the pigeons again? Yesterday, he didn’t steal the pigeons. Did you catch our chicken and eat it?”
“Oh, it must be because I tied the pigeon whistle to attract the eagle.”
The three of them were talking, and the old couple came over from the back hill with their nets and bamboo poles and their dogs. Just now they were afraid that an eagle would take the opportunity to descend and catch their chickens and ducks.
Although the chickens reacted quickly and basically hid, there were still ducks and geese at the foot of the mountain, which we had to guard against.
“Look at these rails, they are so scary. They usually scream non-stop from morning to night, but now they saw the eagle coming, and they suddenly stopped.”
“Yes, they stopped for a while. It was so quiet that the toads stopped chirping. "
"Dad, Mom, the bald man is so powerful. When the eagle came to catch the pigeon, it flew into the sky and kicked the eagle down with his head. Kicked to pieces.”
"I know, we just saw it. The two bald kites are so powerful that they scared away the eagles flying in the south."
The two elders really didn't expect that this kite is very good at catching birds. Even an eagle dares to fly to the sky to fight.
And it was a one-hit kill. When the two of them saw it just now, they couldn't believe it.
“Did the pigeon return to the village?”
“It didn’t return to the village, it landed at the pavilion.”
Chen Ling pressed his chin, and a group of pigeons landed on the steps next to the pavilion in shock.
Wang Cunye took a look, frowned and said: "Why did the eagle directly grab the pigeon today? I was waiting for the chickens, and when it flew down, I shot it."
“I just told Zhenzhen that the eagle originally wanted to steal the chicken, but it heard the whistle of the pigeon, maybe it was attracted by the pigeon whistle...
I saw the eagle just now It’s specifically for the pigeon with the pigeon whistle.”
“Huh? That’s serious. Don’t bring that thing to pigeons anymore.”
"It's okay. Since this whistle may lure eagles to come over, then we should select a special time to lure them over, and scare them a few times with the two bald eagles, so that they will not dare to come over again."
"...That's it. , that’s fine too.”
“Well, just take off the whistle, you can’t always carry it with the pigeons.”
……
Let my sister-in-law and my son go together. Played around the eagle's body for a while.
Chen Ling carried this guy to the back mountain. After drying it directly in the cave, he hung the hard body on the big tree next to the back pheasant nest.
If any eagle dares to sneak over in the future, even if Erbaldy is not at home, they will be able to see the corpse of this same kind at a glance.
It will definitely have a good deterrent effect.
"Zhenzhen, I am going to Fenglei Town today to deliver fabrics to my second brother, will you come with me?"
Back at the foot of the mountain, Chen Ling drove the tractor out and asked with a smile road.
Wang Zhenzhen just had her summer vacation today, and she and Ruirui are playing with wheat field turtles upstairs.
Hearing this, he stuck out his little head and shouted: "I'm not going back yet. My sister-in-law and I wrote a letter saying that during the holidays, I will go back to the village to live for half a month."
< br>"Okay, it's up to you."
Chen Ling smiled and took the kettle Wang Susu had prepared for him, which contained honey water prepared in advance.
I was afraid that he would get thirsty while walking and have no place to drink water.
"It's so hot now and the journey is so long. Why take her? She's going, and Ruirui is going too. It's up to you what to do."
Wang Susu rolled her eyes at him after passing the kettle. , said angrily.
Chen Ling chuckled, said no more, walked out of the orchard, got on the tractor and left.
The back compartment of the tractor was piled high and full of fabrics and defective clothing.
Speaking of the clothes for sale this time, it’s not that no one wants them.
I heard from the Han Chuang brothers that in the past two years, people lined up to take these things, and they all carried the baggage when they left.
I also look for places to sell them at low prices.
Some defective products can be dismantled and repaired by yourself at home, and they can also be sold as good clothes.
But since last year, working outside the home has made more money, and no one does this anymore.
As a result, these factories have accumulated in large numbers.
This car was only a small part of the way.
Chen Ling got a good deal.
With the cost savings, the remaining money will allow the two brothers Wang Qingwen to better find people to work for. My father-in-law gave them 20,000 yuan. Now it seems that even if they hire some people, it won't cost that much.
Wang Qingzhong has known a lot of people selling grain over the years. He is very familiar with the people near Fenglei Town. He knows people in every village. Just look around and find some older people with good craftsmanship. Mother-in-law and women come to do the work and pay some wages. It's very simple.
I went to Fenglei Town. I set off at around seven o'clock in the morning and arrived before noon. I had a meal in the town with my two brothers-in-law. After talking about what to do next, I came back early.
I didn’t go home directly when I came back. Instead, I turned to the county seat and called Yu Qian to ask about the pigeon whistle.
After asking this question, Chen Ling’s guess was correct.
The eagle suddenly changed its goal today and went to catch pigeons to eat because of the pigeon whistle.
Yu Qian has raised pigeons and played with grasshoppers since he was a child, and he knows the secrets best.
His original words were: "Although it is always said that eagles catch chicks and eagles catch chicks, in fact, eagles prefer pigeons to chickens and ducks. In winter and spring in Beijing, there are many eagles in the sky, so we generally do not give pigeons food. It’s whistled, just for the reason you mentioned.
If it’s equipped with a whistle, it won’t come back.”
Also, I heard that Chen Ling plays with pigeons. Yu Qian was very talkative and said that the next time he came to play with him, he would pick out some beautiful pigeon whistles for him.
There are all kinds of them, which guarantees his satisfaction.
I also gave Chen Ling a detailed explanation of the classification of pigeon whistles.
How to wear it on pigeons.
He said that his method of tying the legs of pigeons would be particularly harmful to the pigeons, and if they encountered an eagle while flying, they would often be unable to escape.
Tell him that the pigeon whistle must be tied to the tail of the pigeon. The tail of a pigeon usually has twelve feathers.
The four in the middle are relatively thick and strong, and are suitable for tying whistles.
Of course, you should also pay attention to the fact that when the pigeons change their new feathers in the summer, it is best not to tie them, otherwise after flying around for a while, the pigeons will come back and the whistle will be lost.
He also warned him that some pigeons were timid and had a whistle tied to them that would sound as soon as they flew. They would be frightened and would not dare to fly again.
In short, that’s a fine thing to say.
After hearing this, Chen Ling had to admire him: "You are truly a game master."
This old boy really likes these things.
What he said made him excited and couldn't help but become interested.
After returning home, I followed what Yu Qian said, took out two bamboos, and tried it myself to see if I could figure it out and make a whistle.
The materials used to make pigeon whistles are generally the same.
Bamboo, hardwood, reeds, bones, even gourds and ladles will work too.
Pigeons have been kept for fun more than a thousand years ago.
There are many exquisite and unique pigeon whistles.
The few pigeon whistles Chen Sangui gave him were the roughest and simplest.
The thickness of an adult’s finger is about three inches in length.
Looks like a small bottle for oral liquid.
There is a head on the top, a depression in the middle, and a bottle on the bottom.
But it was all cut out with a piece of hard wood and a knife.
There are many holes inside.
People can also blow loudly by playing with their mouths.
But in the end it is better to tie it to a pigeon and listen to it politely.
The recessed position of the pigeon whistle, like the neck of an oral liquid bottle, is where the rope is tied, and can be tied to the pigeon's legs and tail.
“Come on, I’ve never done such delicate work before, I can’t do it, I can’t do it, it’s too difficult.
It's better to wait for Yu Qian to come over sometime and bring some better pigeon whistles.
Better than me groping blindly. "
Chen Ling had these pigeon whistles in his hands because he had nothing to do in the first month, so he asked Chen Sangui to make them.
At first, he described the function and said that it was tied to the legs of pigeons. Let Chen Sangui try it.
After all, no one raises pigeons in their mountains.
No one knows about pigeon whistles.
But the old carpenter was an old carpenter after all, and Chen Ling knew what he wanted just from a few words.
Made him six whistles from a piece of wood.
It’s actually very easy to use and very loud.
Even after listening to what Yu Qian said, Chen Ling also felt that the whistle made of hard wood was a bit heavy to wear on the pigeons.
"Cuckoo, Cuckoo..."
As soon as the waste bamboo materials were swept away, two little pigeons came out of the pigeon nest made of earthen jars and flew to his feet, following each step. He shouted after him and asked him for food.
The two little guys were so frightened by the eagle in the morning that they hid in their nest all day without daring to come out. Now it is getting dark, so they probably came out to ask for food because they were too hungry.
Seeing this, Chen Ling grabbed two handfuls of wheat from the warehouse and let them fly to his hands to eat.
Watching the two little flower pigeons growing more and more beautiful, he was extremely satisfied. In the future, they would be distributed to wild pigeons for crossbreeding, and they would definitely get better and better.
According to Yu Qian, if this thing is well taken care of, it will have a bright future.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, come and see, your fish will shine."
He was enjoying feeding the pigeons when he suddenly heard Wang Zhenzhen shouting in the front yard.
