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

Chapter 505 Looking for the Eagle

“56 semi? We do have them at the base, but guns are a big deal. The army has strict gun control. What do you plan to do with the gun?”

In the previous sentence, Jun Ge was gathering people to arrange to find the eagle, but Yue Feng opened his mouth and wanted to get a 56. It seems that these two things are not related.

“My big black eagle recognizes the sound of gunfire. I’ll get a gun and go out to an open field and shoot. If I’m lucky, the eagle will hear the noise and fly back on its own!”

Yue Feng did not hide anything and told the truth.

“Really? Eagles recognize gunshots?”

“Well, I won’t lie to you. Let the soldier carry a gun. A 56mm half-gun will be enough!”

“Okay, wait a minute, Xiao Qin, go back to the squad leader and get a gun. Just tell him that I asked you to get it! I’ll take responsibility for anything!”

Brother Jun greeted a familiar soldier next to him, and the other soldier responded and immediately ran back to get his gun.

While waiting for the guns to be brought, everyone was not idle. Jun asked curiously, “I have seen your eagle recognize the whistle with my own eyes. How do you train it to recognize the sound of gunfire?
You can’t just shoot around with a gun just to train it, right?”

Yue Feng raised his lips and shook his head: “Before I caught this big black eagle and brought it home, it had been active in the area around the forest farm behind our village.

After the snow falls in winter, more gunners go up the mountain to hunt, and they can shoot mountain animals every now and then.

There is a custom in our place that when we kill wild animals, we have to take some of their internal organs to offer sacrifice to the mountain god.

No one knew when this eagle learned to listen to the sound of gunfire and go to the place where the mountain god was worshipped to eat the internal organs of the prey.

Later, Xiao Tao and I went hunting in the mountains and discovered this by accident. After some twists and turns, we finally caught it!”

Jun scratched his head, his tone obviously relaxed a lot: “No wonder you seemed to have a clue last night, it turns out there is such a key point!

You should have told me earlier. You made me nervous the whole night. I was afraid that if the eagle could not be found, I would not be able to explain to you!”

“The good news is that the Black Hawk will recognize the sound of gunfire and will most likely not get lost, but there is also bad news!”

“What?”

“The white spear can’t recognize the sound of gunfire. We can only rely on the big black eagle to find it and then fly around, and then blow the whistle to see if we can find the eagle!” Yue Feng spread his hands.

“Of course I can! Damn it, that white spear and the big black eagle are a perfect match. If I lose it, I will be upset!”

Jun Ge’s mood, which had just relaxed, was aroused again.

After the two brothers chatted for a while, the soldier came back with a gun.

A gun, two clips of bullets, and you’re not going up the mountain to hunt or just looking for eagles, so it’s probably enough.

“Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go out and take a walk first!”

Brother Jun jumped directly into the driver’s seat and urged everyone else to get in the car quickly.

Yue Feng and Xiao Tao also got into the car driven by Jun Ge, and then the two cars drove directly out of the base.

Less than fifty meters out of the gate, Yue Feng asked Jun Ge to stop.

“Brother Jun, stop by the roadside, fire one shot first, and wait for fifteen minutes!!
The eagle may be around the base, and if it hears the noise and comes back, we will have a lot of trouble,” Yue Feng reminded.

“Okay! You hold the gun!”

Ye Jianjun parked the car by the side of the road, then Yue Feng got out and fired a random shot into the open space.

boom! !

Early in the morning, there was a sudden gunshot, which was quite harsh.

There is vast wasteland all around, and the sound of gunfire will travel particularly far in the open space.

After the shot was fired, Yue Feng sat on the ground and waited patiently.

Seeing this, Jun Ge also got out of the cab, ignoring the mud on the side of the road, and sat next to Yue Feng.

“According to your previous experience, how far away can this big black hawk come back from after hearing the gunshots?” Brother Jun continued to ask.

“I don’t know how far, but I’ve had the experience of firing a shot and waiting about fifteen minutes for it to come back, and it was still on the mountain!”

“If this big black eagle flies at full speed, how many miles can it fly in fifteen minutes!”

“That’s true!”

While the two brothers were talking here, Yue Feng casually glanced up at the sky.

Then, a dark shadow was seen flying in the sky from the north of the military airport, passing over the head of the gate guard and flying straight towards Yue Feng.

“It’s the Big Black Hawk! It’s back!!!”

Last night, its hat was taken off and thrown into the night sky. The big black eagle suffered a lot the whole night.

I flew out of the base with the faint light, but the direction I chose was a bit bad, and there was not even a small tree to rest on.

It spent the night in a pile of weeds.

Since following its owner, the big black hawk has not spent the night alone for a year and is extremely uncomfortable.

After patiently staying for a whole night, the big black eagle took off at dawn and looked for its owner everywhere.

However, there were many different personnel at the military airport, including ground staff, guard troops, and logistics supply personnel, and the Black Hawk couldn’t find its owner after searching for a long time.

At this moment, a gunshot was heard, and the big black hawk instantly found its target.

The sound of the gunshot and the whistle were engraved in my memory, so I just had to fly over there as soon as possible.

When the big black eagle flew to less than fifty meters away, Yue Feng put his fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.

The next second, there was a whoosh sound, and a big black eagle fell from the sky and landed directly on Yue Feng’s arm.

Quack, quack, quack!

When the big black eagle saw its master’s face, it started to cackle affectionately and nodded at Yue Feng while calling.

That state was as if the cat had been wronged outside and was going to complain to its master.

“Alright, alright! I’m back!”

Yue Feng comforted him softly, then took out half a bowl of beef and fed it to Big Black Hawk!
After the eagles had eaten the meat, Yue Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Of the two eagles, the big black eagle was back, and the task of finding the little white spear would be much easier.

After feeding the eagle a little bit of food, Yue Feng said to Jun Ge: “Now that we have found the big black eagle, the other car and the soldiers are basically useless! You see…”

When Jun Ge heard this, he nodded and strode towards another car.

When I walked to Brother Bing’s side, he smiled and said, “We just found the first eagle, so you don’t have to work hard anymore!
I’m still on a business trip today, but I’m free to do whatever I want! I’ll give you a day off, remember to come back before 5pm!

In addition, please keep it confidential. When you go to town or anywhere else, don’t cause trouble. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will be responsible for the consequences!!”

“Director Ye is so awesome!”

“Brother Jun is really good to us! Now we are leaving. When the squad leader asks you about it later, you must remember to help us cover up our lies!”

Jun Ge waved his hand: “Let’s go, let’s go, remember not to cause trouble!”

Anyway, the fake old money has been approved, and Jun Ge is doing a favor. These soldiers don’t have many opportunities to go out on weekdays, so today is a holiday for them. After sending away the soldiers who helped find the eagle, Ye Jianjun returned to Yue Feng.

“What should we do next? Keep driving, or what?”

Yue Feng thought for a moment and said: “Don’t leave in a hurry, let the big black eagle eat some food, and then coil it up!

The big black eagle flew higher, if Xiaobai was around, he would definitely be able to spot it!”

Soon, the big black eagle finished half a bowl of beef slices, and his crop was at least 60% to 70% full.

After the eagle had eaten its fill, Yue Feng lifted it up in his arm again and shook it gently. The big black eagle immediately left his hand and took off, continuing to climb in altitude with Yue Feng as the center, and then flew over his head.

There was wasteland all around, with nothing blocking the view, so the Black Hawk’s flying altitude and circling radius were very large.

At first, you could still see its shadow, but after flying for a while, it was almost invisible to the naked eye. To be conservative, the flight altitude was estimated to be at least three hundred meters.

Yue Feng calculated the time and let the eagle fly freely in the sky for about ten minutes. Then he blew the whistle and called the big black eagle down.

“The flying radius of the big black eagle just now was at least several hundred meters, and the altitude was over three hundred meters. If Xiaobai was within two kilometers, he would definitely have seen it!

Since Xiaobai hasn’t come back, he is most likely not around!
Brother Jun, keep driving forward, about three kilometers first!
There is a bit of northwest wind today. Eagles like to fly with the wind to save energy. Let’s go southeast first!”

“Okay, sit down!”

Jun called out, stepped on the accelerator and started off roughly, then rushed forward, stirring up a large cloud of dust behind the car.

Soon, when they reached a distance of about three kilometers, Yue Feng released the black eagle again and let it fly freely in the sky for about twenty minutes.

Today the big black hawk was a little confused, not knowing what its owner wanted it to do. After taking off, it continued to climb and fly around overhead, while its owner just stood there and hardly moved.

However, after a long period of training, the eagle has already developed a tacit understanding. The owner does not need to explain to the black eagle why. As long as he does not give any other orders, the eagle will fly and follow according to the previously trained pattern.

Twenty minutes passed quickly, and there was still no sign of Little White Spear.

Now, Yue Feng was a little anxious.

After he blew the whistle to call back Big Black Hawk, he casually asked, “Xiao Tao, you got up early. Did you notice what time the wind started to blow in the morning?”

Xiao Tao scratched his head and said, “It seems like the wind started to blow just as the sky was getting light!

When I was washing up, I looked at the clothes hanging outside and saw them moving slightly in the wind!”

Yue Feng nodded after listening, then glanced at the current time and calculated silently in his heart.

It has been at least two hours since dawn in the morning. The big black eagle flew from the north, and the white spear definitely did not fly from the north, otherwise the two eagles would have probably met and joined forces.

Little White Spear is a real wife slave. Once he is released with the big black eagle, he will almost never leave his wife’s side wherever she goes.

“Keep driving southeast, it’s still three kilometers! I just don’t believe it!!” Yue Feng was a little angry.

The car started again, and Jun Ge followed Yue Feng’s instructions and moved southeast along the dirt road.

When the distance is reached, release the black hawk again and repeat the previous steps.

After another half an hour of struggling, Little White Spear still didn’t show up.

Twice in a row, they are now at least five or six kilometers away from the base.

Yue Feng patiently thought about it again.

“If the wind blows from the southeast, there’s a high chance that the little white spear will fly away with the wind. It could be a few kilometers away with just a flap of its wings! But it certainly won’t fly aimlessly!
If I can find the owner, my first goal will definitely be to find him!”

“Then, what if we can’t find its owner? We don’t know how far it flew with the faint light last night, let alone where it spent the night!” Brother Jun continued to ask.

Yue Feng smacked his teeth and said, “If it can’t find its owner, it will most likely go to a place it has been to before, a hunting ground, or a landmark building or terrain, etc!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Feng slapped his head.

“Damn, I thought of a possibility! Could Xiaobai have gone to the riverbank where Xiaotao and I went out to release the falcon yesterday?”

A dozen kilometers may be considered a long distance for humans, but for a Saker Falcon that can fly hundreds of meters high, it only takes a short while to flutter its wings when the wind is favorable.

Before, Little White Spear encountered Big Black Eagle at Jindingzi on the back mountain of Yue Feng’s grandmother’s home, and went all the way to Xing’an Village, where Yue Feng lived. The straight-line distance is at least more than 100 kilometers.

Until now, Yue Feng still doesn’t know how it did it, but it did it.

Big Black Hawk and Little White Spear were brought from their home to the base by car, and they probably didn’t know the terrain along the way.

After arriving here, I took a car to the river beach, and most likely I didn’t know the terrain of the road.

But this is not important, because the main water vein of Songjiang is not far away.

With the main water vein of Songjiang River as a landmark reference, as long as Little White Spear wants to find the place where it hunted with its master yesterday, it will definitely find it in a relatively short time.

“Are you sure? Didn’t you say that the place you went to yesterday wasn’t close? Can Xiaobai go there?”

After hearing Yue Feng’s guess, Brother Jun was a little skeptical.

Yue Feng nodded: “Well, I’ll sit in the back seat, Xiao Tao, you go to the passenger seat!

I’ll let the eagle fly, and you drive slower! Let the eagle follow our car in the sky!

Xiao Tao, show Jun the way to the riverbank where we caught swans and geese yesterday!”

“Okay, whatever you say, we’ll do!”

Having made up his mind, Yue Feng immediately got busy again and released the big black hawk for the third time.

When it rises to a height of about two hundred meters, the car will start and move steadily at a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour.

It was the first time for Yue Feng to train a black hawk to fly and follow him while sitting in a car, but he was very confident in the black hawk’s intelligence.

After walking about a few hundred meters, Yue Feng leaned half of his body and head out of the back seat window to let the big black eagle know that its owner was still paying attention to it. If the eagle occasionally flew slowly, Yue Feng would whistle to remind it.

After less than ten minutes of testing, the big black hawk understood Yue Feng’s intention and moved along with the car while maintaining a certain flying altitude.

At first, Jun Ge felt a little unsure. After observing for a while and making sure that the eagle was not lost, he slowly increased the speed to over 50.

In this way, they took many twists and turns and headed towards the river beach where Yue Feng and his team had hunted yesterday.

Along the way, Big Black Hawk failed to lure Xiaobai out. After waiting for an hour or so, Jun Ge followed Xiao Tao’s instructions and came to the village from yesterday. He crossed the village and rushed to the reclaimed farmland on the river beach.

After parking the car, people got out and walked towards the firewood pile where they had been yesterday.

Before I even reached the position, a cry of “ke ke ke” came from the sky.

I just heard it yesterday. It’s the cry of a whooper swan. There’s a hint of urgency in the sound, as if it’s in some danger.

Hearing the noise, Yue Feng looked up almost reflexively. At this time, an even more exciting sound rang out.

Quack, quack, quack!
The big black eagle that had been following in the sky suddenly started to scream, and while screaming, it rushed towards the location where the swan made the sound.

Yue Feng hurriedly took out his binoculars and looked upwards following the sound.

At the first sight, Yue Feng felt relieved. (End of this chapter)
