Chapter 22: The Yellow Leaf Caught by Accident

Falconry hunting does not involve going into the mountains to hunt large animals. It just involves strolling in the mountains near the village. There is hardly any major risk, so Xiao Tao’s parents have no objection to their child following Yue Feng out.

Soon, Xiao Tao put on his leggings and followed him out with a bag.

In fact, after Xiao Tao saw the sand chicken and flying dragon caught by Yue Feng in the mountains last night, he mentioned to his father that he wanted to go up the mountain with Yue Feng to release hawks, but was suppressed by Li Wentong.

Lao Li’s idea is very simple. The two families are neighbors in front and behind. They will see each other every day. If someone wants to take you, you don’t need to go up and ask.

When the flat eagle is hunting in a small enclosure, more people can’t help much. They can only get a share of other people’s harvest by licking their faces and approaching.

Once you say it, it will be difficult for others to refuse, and it may even hurt the relationship between the two families.

Although the two families have a good relationship, this kind of thing of taking advantage of others is not allowed.

But the fact that Yue Feng came early in the morning and called out on his own initiative was another matter. Old Li knew without asking that it was most likely Yue Lei’s instruction behind the scenes.

“Brother, where are we going to release the hawks today?” Xiao Tao was very excited when he went out.

Hunting is human nature. Which boy who grew up in the village doesn’t like eagles?

However, apart from the craft passed down by the Yue family’s ancestors, no one in the surrounding villages really understood the technique of training eagles.

In Xiao Tao’s ordinary value system, not to mention that he could get a share of the spoils by going out with the bandits, even if he didn’t play with anything, it would be fun. After the autumn harvest, there was not much work to do at home, so he would have nothing to do.

Yue Feng held the eagle flat on his back, pointed in a direction and said, “Let’s go to the grove by the river first, and then go up the mountain from the gentle slope of Jiazigou. I’ve brought our lunch. We’ll stay in the mountain for a day and come back before dark in the evening!”

“Okay, then what am I responsible for?”

“You…you are responsible for carrying the prey, and assisting me when needed!”

“it is good!”

……

After a brief communication, the two brothers walked out of the village arm in arm. Their first stop was the grove they hadn’t visited yesterday.

The grove by the river is definitely a Feng Shui treasure land, with water, woods and bushes. It is very suitable for small birds such as sand chickens.

The day before yesterday, Yue Feng came here and released his hawk in circles, which scared the active chickens here quite a bit. After taking a break from not coming for a day yesterday, we should be able to get a good harvest today.

Yue Feng observed as he walked, and from a distance he had already discovered traces of the Sand Chicken’s activities.

“Stand still where you are!”

After Yue Feng discovered the prey, he immediately gave instructions to Xiao Tao, then turned sideways, held the eagle flat, and slowly moved forward.

When they were about twenty meters away, a rooster on guard called out a warning from the flock of Shaban chickens, and the chickens in the flock scattered and flew up in a flutter.

Yue Feng immediately and decisively attacked with his flat eagle, and saw that the big blue kite, which had been very well behaved, suddenly rushed straight towards the flock of chickens like a black sword.

A few days ago, when it was strung with a string, the Great Blue Kitten was able to perform such difficult maneuvers as flipping over and embracing its prey in the air, not to mention that it now has only two short legs and eats blood every day, making it fat and strong.

After chasing for less than 20 meters, the Great Blue Kitten easily caught a sand chicken of that year. It was still the Great Blue Kitten’s signature move, grabbing the chicken’s head with one claw and pinching the chicken’s wing with the other claw, and then plucking its feathers and eating its meat.

Yue Feng looked at the eagle and started to pluck its feathers and eat, then he waved to Xiao Tao who was standing still behind him.

When Xiao Tao came up to him, his eyes were wide open and he had not yet recovered from the huge shock.

After a long while, he couldn’t help but sigh: “Fuck! This little eagle is so awesome! He threw it out so easily, and then caught a sand chicken? ”

Yue Feng pursed his lips and smiled: “What else?”

“This…if we catch prey randomly, wouldn’t we catch a sack of prey in a day?”

“Eagles get tired too. Besides, these birds aren’t stupid. They become smarter after catching them a few times! When I came here a few days ago, the sandpipers here wouldn’t fly away if you approached them within ten meters! Just now, they all flew away at the slightest movement!”

“Anyway, I think it wasn’t difficult for our little eagle to catch that sand pheasant just now!”

“That’s right. This big blue kite is not an ordinary eagle. Ordinary kites are smaller in size and cannot catch chicks so efficiently!”

While they were talking, the big blue kite had already plucked most of the hair on the sand chicken’s forehead and neck. It tore the skin and blood gushed out immediately. Its hooked beak could tear off a piece of meat in one bite.

Yue Feng let the big blue hawk eat a few mouthfuls of blood, then he skillfully blocked the prey with his gloves and then put the hawk up again.

“Wipe the blood off and put it in your bag!” Yue Feng blocked the eagle’s sight with his body, grabbed the prey with his left hand, and handed it sideways to Xiao Tao beside him.

“okay!”

It is indeed much more convenient to release the eagle with an assistant than to operate alone. Yue Feng only needs to block the eagle’s sight, and he doesn’t have to do the rest himself. Xiao Tao is responsible for everything.

In less than a minute, everything was cleaned up. Yue Feng put the eagle back on and the two brothers continued to move forward.

There were hundreds of bushes of varying sizes near the grove by the river. The flock of sandpipers that had been scared away just now did not go far. They just circled around and hid under another bush.

Through observations in recent days, Yue Feng discovered that there are at least a dozen groups of sand chickens of varying sizes active here, with a total number of at least over a hundred. Only a few of them have been caught so far. Theoretically, there is still great potential to be tapped.

After walking less than a hundred meters, the little eagle soon found its prey again, and it jerked its head towards the bushes. Yue Feng observed intently for a while, but only heard a rustling sound under the bushes, but did not see the prey.

Xiaoying struggled to attack, but Yue Feng decisively let him go.

This is the advantage of releasing the hawk by pinching the string. There is no rope to restrain you, so it doesn’t matter if the terrain is a little complicated or you can’t see the location of the prey clearly.

Even if the eagle is caught and misses the target, as long as the eagle is caught correctly and has no food in its stomach, the fighter will grab some meat and give a command, and the eagle will fly back by itself.

The falcon made a move, and the trajectory of its flight close to the ground flashed by. The Great Green Kites flew to the vicinity of the bushes, spread its wings and stopped suddenly, and like a diver, it dived into the gap in the bushes.

The next second a squeaking sound came from the bushes.

When Yue Feng heard the squeaking sound, his heart skipped a beat. Oh no!
“Come here quickly, the eagle has caught the yellow leaf!!”

Sure enough, Yue Feng swung his long legs to the place where the eagle landed, and saw the big blue hawk holding the weasel’s head with its claws, and the eagle and the beast were struggling frantically on the ground.
