Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Chapter 498 Silly Goose

“It’s no use catching a swan running around. Let’s find a place to wait patiently! Go to that straw pile for a while. It’s sheltered from the wind and warm over there. Keep a calm mind and treat it as a relaxing holiday!”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you!!”

The two brothers held the eagle and strolled to the straw pile.

The two brothers simply arranged some corn stalks in an orderly manner, then lay down on their backs, leaning against the wind and basking in the sun, and instantly entered a state of relaxation where they were one with nature.

The clouds are very high in the sky today, and it is a sunny day with a crisp autumn air. There is nothing worth seeing around. Looking into the distance, one can only vaguely see the bungalows in the town village in the distance.

Yue Feng and Xiao Tao lay down for a while, then sat up and took off the big Black Eagle hats on their arms.

Yue Feng was not at home during this period, and the big black eagle had been left in the care of his parents. Although it was let out for a walk regularly every day and had enough food and drink, the eagle could not see its owner, and when they met again, there was still some small impact on the eagle’s interactions with humans.

I brought the black eagle back to the airport yesterday. When I took off my hat and played with the eagle, the black eagle showed a strong sense of attachment to it.

Now they got out of the car and walked to the wilderness river beach with the eagle. After the little guy got used to the sunlight, it did not take off on the spot, but lay on Yue Feng’s legs with its feathers fluffed up, like a flightless chicken.

Sometimes it combed its feathers, and sometimes it lowered its head and pecked at Yue Feng’s trouser leg, as if it had lost interest in flying in the sky and spreading its wings.

“Hehe, this little guy still remembers his lover! He took off his hat and didn’t want to take off, so he just stayed beside!” Yue Feng pinched the big black eagle’s beak hook with his hand and said with a smile.

Xiao Tao also touched the breast of the white spear: “Little White doesn’t seem to want to take off either. No wonder the Saker Falcon is so legendary! These two big babies are really smart! I haven’t played with them much for more than ten days. Now that I bring them out, they are like lovers!”

Yue Feng nodded and continued to mutter: “I have never used a black eagle to catch a swan, and I don’t know if the black eagle can recognize a swan as prey! Swans migrate in large groups and fly high. If the eagle doesn’t react, our trip will be in vain!”

“That can’t be! This is a gyrfalcon. The big Puya in the guesthouse can even take down a swan. The big black eagle is definitely better than the peregrine falcon!”

There is nothing wrong with what Xiao Tao said. Although the peregrine falcon is known to have the fastest diving speed in the world, in terms of overall strength, the gyrfalcon is definitely better.

All that remains is the question of whether the eagle recognizes its prey.

Yue Feng still has overall confidence in the Black Hawk. As long as he sees prey, he will blow the whistle to guide it. With the Black Hawk’s intelligence, it will most likely be able to guess its owner’s intention.

“If prey comes later, you’ll kill them. Let’s get off to a good start!”

Yue Feng didn’t care whether the big black eagle could understand or not. He touched its head with his hand, and the other party squinted its eyes in enjoyment.

In this way, the two men and two eagles waited patiently in the large field after the autumn harvest, and before they knew it, an hour or so had passed.

Here, the two brothers were lying in a pile of straw in the wild, waiting for the geese, when suddenly they heard a “ge ge ge ge” cry from the sky.

“Listen, it sounds like a whooper swan!” Yue Feng immediately looked up after hearing it, and looked around with his hands on his shoulders.

“This should be a flock of migrating geese, right? They are flying so much lower!” Xiao Tao squinted his eyes and looked around, then pointed at the flock of geese flying in a V-shaped formation and said.

“No matter whether it is a wild goose or a swan, since it is here, let the big black eagle move around first!!”

Yue Feng made up his mind and immediately stood up from the haystack. He pointed at the flock of geese in the sky, held the eagle with his arm and raised it sharply, while whistling.

The whistle sounded like an order. When their master blew the whistle to urge them, the big Black Eagle and the White Spear immediately spread their wings and flew into the air, heading towards the flock of geese above their heads.

After the eagle left his hand and flew into the air, Yue Feng took out a pair of binoculars from his bag and looked at the big black eagle flying in the sky.

The sudden appearance of two eagles rising from the ground caused noticeable commotion among the migrating geese.

All I heard was a few cries from the geese at the head of the flock, and the flying speed of the geese increased significantly.

But wild geese are wild geese. It is hard to say about their long-distance running speed, but in terms of short-distance burst speed, no matter how hard the lead goose urges, the distance between the eagle and its prey is still closing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the big black eagle and the white spear caught up with the flock of geese one after another. After a feint attack, the flock of geese, which had originally maintained their formation, was immediately dispersed by the big black eagle and fled in panic.

The leader of the wild geese did not seem to be afraid of the two falcons that were chasing them. He broke away from the leading position and went up to block the big black eagle.

There is a high probability that there are young geese among this flock of geese. Otherwise, ordinary geese would not dare to compete with falcons.

However, even though his courage is commendable, the gap in strength is still huge.

As the leader goose approached, the big black eagle flapped its wings violently to speed up. When it was close, it did a beautiful somersault, stretched out its claws, and plucked a large piece of feathers from the leader goose’s belly.

The leader goose attacked by the eagle could barely keep its flying posture steady in the air. Before it could turn around, the white spear had already risen to a position twenty or thirty meters above its head.

Xiaobai seized the opportunity, dived down and accelerated, and kicked the leader goose accurately on the neck with one swift kick.

The leader goose, which was kicked in the vitals, fell from the sky in a spin like a plane out of control.

“It’s hit! Quick! A little further south!!”

Seeing that the aerial fight had yielded results, Yue Feng immediately trotted towards the predicted landing point.

Before anyone could run to it, the wild goose had already fallen to the ground. From such a high height, it must have died.

After landing, the unfortunate fellow’s neck showed an obvious abnormal bend, and bright red blood came out of his mouth. The big black eagle and the white spear that succeeded also folded their wings and landed, shouting loudly to show their credit to their master.

“Alright, alright, you two are awesome! That’s awesome!!!”

Yue Feng’s two eagles each rubbed their backs, then removed the leg sponges from their bodies and directly bled the wild geese that were not yet completely dead.

Judging from the species, this should be a grey goose.

This grey goose may not seem very big in the sky, but when it lands and is held in your hand, it is quite heavy, almost as heavy as the big geese you raise at home.

Yue Feng estimated that it weighed about 6 or 7 kilograms based on the feel of it, only slightly smaller than the whooper swan he caught last time.

The autumn migration period is the period when the grey geese are fat and strong. If you touch them with your hand, you will find that their bodies are very plump and round under their thick feathers.

Yue Feng was bleeding the wild geese when a shrill goose cry was heard from the sky.

Yue Feng looked up and saw that the other geese had fled in all directions, but there was a slightly smaller goose that was circling overhead and did not flee.

Seeing this scene, Yue Feng was touched.

Geese are monogamous birds. Even though the other mates ran away, the mate did not leave.

After a year of running-in, the big black eagle has already developed a certain tacit understanding with its owner’s body movements and whistle reminders.

Seeing that there were still prey flying overhead, the owner looked up and saw that the big black eagle flapped its wings and took off again, chasing after the other goose.

Even when the entire flock of geese is fully equipped, they cannot compete with the top falcons, let alone this lone one now.

The Big Black Hawk and the Little White Hawk cooperated in hunting. The Big Black Hawk had a fast vertical take-off and landing speed and was responsible for chasing and interfering from behind. The Little White Hawk was small in size and had a fast dive speed. After rising to a high altitude, it swooped down to launch a fatal attack.

After only two rounds, the goose that didn’t escape was shot down again, and Xiao Tao ran all the way and picked it up again.

“Brother, there’s something wrong with this wild goose! The rest of its companions have all run away, but it’s still hanging above our heads! Look, it’s so fat!” Xiao Tao said, grabbing the wild goose’s neck.

Yue Feng’s heart was slightly moved when he heard this, and he said calmly: “Yes, there are so many geese, how can there be a fool among them! Do you have a knife? Let it bleed first!

I’ve only been here for less than two hours, and I haven’t caught the real geese yet. I’ll take two geese back first, so I can still count my escape as empty-handed!”

Xiao Tao didn’t notice the change in his brother’s expression. He took out a calf splint from his lower back and drained the blood very efficiently, then lifted the leg upside down.

Soon, both geese were bled. Yue Feng cut open the geese’s chests and took out their hearts, livers, lungs and other internal organs to feed the eagle.

The offal was not enough to fill the eagle’s stomach. A big black eagle could only eat about 30% to 40% of the offal of a goose at most. However, it still had work to do later, so Yue Feng did not give it any extra meat.

He took out a snakeskin bag from the hunting bag and stuffed the two geese into it, intending to deal with them carefully when he got back.

“How can we cook this wild goose deliciously? Can we stew it with potatoes or something?” Xiao Tao rubbed the blood off his hands in the mud and asked happily.

“Of course it will work. The meat of this thing is even more delicious than that of a goose! Let’s stew it with soybean paste when we get home, it will be so delicious!” Yue Feng said with a slight smile on his face.

“Brother, what’s wrong with you? I feel like something’s wrong with you!”

Xiao Tao, who was still thinking about how Dayan would make delicious food the previous second, suddenly looked at Yue Feng with a serious expression the next second.

This is the keen intuition of best friends. Although Yue Feng seemed very happy all the time, Xiao Tao felt something was wrong.

Yue Feng originally did not want to mention that the two wild geese were a pair. After all, hunters’ job is to kill, and if they catch one, it means the end of their life. Killing does not mean abusing any living thing, and it does not involve cause and effect.

It seems a bit hypocritical to be sensational. They are just two geese, there is no need to do that.

But Xiao Tao noticed the subtle changes in his emotions, and Yue Feng did not intend to hide it from his brother.

“Nothing, I just feel sorry for that stupid goose! Her husband was clearly kicked to death by an eagle, but she still stayed in the sky and waited to be caught!” Yue Feng muttered in a deep voice.

Now, Xiao Tao knew why something was wrong with his brother.

“Damn! These wild geese are so loyal! We won’t catch any more if they fly over our heads! The airport provides meals, and we don’t lack meat. We can’t take too many back if we catch them!” Xiao Tao scratched his head, feeling a little complicated.

“Okay, it’s okay! Everything is the best choice. Being a wild goose doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be happy. Get rid of the shackles as soon as possible and reincarnate as soon as possible!!” Yue Feng waved his hand and stopped discussing this somewhat sensitive topic.

Being a hunter also has different levels. Like the original Uncle Zhao, he only takes what he needs, does not kill indiscriminately, and does not ask for too much. This is a level.

Like Uncle Chen who was rescued by Yue Feng, he only kills black-haired animals and doesn’t kill anything else except black bears and wild boars. This is also a level.

Different people have different choices. Even though Yue Feng has lived two lives, there is still a certain emotional component in his personality traits.

This little emotion was aroused by the silly mother goose. (End of this chapter)
