Yue Feng followed Uncle Zhao into the house, and Meiqiu followed him in when he heard the call.

It has only been a month, but Coal Ball has already grown a size bigger than the last time Yue Feng saw him. The little bear, who is less than one year old, weighs almost 200 kilograms. When entering the house, the door seems a little narrow because of its wide body.

Uncle Zhao came into the house, put hats on the two white gyrfalcons and placed them on the falconer’s platform to rest, and then called Meiqiu to come over.

“Xiao Feng, tell me, if we make a protective gear, what style do you think would be more suitable? I want to hear your thoughts!”

Yue Feng had the answer to this kind of question right away in his head. He had seen the Paw Patrol from watching videos in his previous life and was no stranger to the design ideas of the protective gear styles.

Yue Feng pondered for a moment and replied, “I think that protective gear should be flexible to wear and dismantle, as well as provide protection for key areas!
Coal Ball has thick skin and flesh. If it is positioned as a hard-core fighter and follows the fighting mode of rushing forward and relying on upper limb strength to control the prey, the relatively fragile abdominal skin that needs to be protected the most!

We can use strong top-grain cowhide, or other available materials, to make a bellyband-like protective gear to protect its vital parts!

In this way, when it stands up to attack, its abdomen is protected!
In addition, now that it has been done, other vital parts can also be designed together, such as the V-shaped white hair area from the bottom of the neck to the front chest, and the heart and lung areas on both ribs. You can also make a leather jacket that can be worn by pulling the straps!

If you think this thing is not protective enough, you can sew a small pocket on the outside of the jacket and fill it with sand or other weights!

In addition to these things, a collar should also be tied around Coal Ball’s neck, and it is best to hang a bell on it!
Once this thing is on the mountain, it may not always be within the sight of us hunters.

If we go out with the dog gang and run into other hunters, and they suddenly shoot us, our hunting helpers that we have spent so much effort to train will be wasted!”

Yue Feng roughly described the shape of the leather armor according to his memory, and gestured on Coal Ball’s body.

The little guy recognized Yue Feng and thought Yue Feng was playing with him, so he carefully held Yue Feng’s arm with his palm, consciously avoiding large movements and causing harm to Yue Feng with his claws that he could not retract.

After listening to Yue Feng’s general description, Uncle Zhao nodded repeatedly: “What you said is reliable!

I always thought that blind bears were thick-skinned and tough, but I never considered this aspect!

If you are sure to do it, it is better to do it early rather than late. If you wait until it grows up, it will not be used to wearing clothes or anything like that!

It’s best to equip it as soon as possible and let it get used to it, even if it can be upgraded little by little later!”

There is nothing wrong with Uncle Zhao’s thinking. It’s the same as tying the neck of a new puppy at home when it is one month old.

Tie a collar around its neck when it is very young, even if it is just a thin rope with no strength. As it grows, it will gradually get used to the existence of this thing, and when the time is right to tie it up, it will not resist.

This bear cub is already eight or nine months old. If we wait until it grows up before trying to tie clothes on it, the bear will feel uncomfortable and will definitely resist. It is not uncommon for the clothes to be torn and scratched into pieces.

“Yes! I’ve got this in mind. When I go back to the city, I’ll ask my friends to help me get some thick, top-grain cowhide leather. Then I’ll make some protective gear for the bear cub!
I am familiar with this leather product, and the drawstring design is easy to handle and has a high margin of error.”

Yue Feng roughly measured the size of the coal ball protection area with his fingers and had an idea in mind.

“Can you do it? I was thinking I could just tan some wild boar skin and make it myself!”

After listening to this, Uncle Zhao looked up at Yue Feng deliberately.

Although the old man followed Yue Feng back to the farm, his thinking was still stuck in the time when he dug cellars in Woniu Mountain. He tried to use local materials whenever he made anything.

Yue Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly: “Although this wild boar skin can be used, it is not easy to clean the smell! It won’t cost much, just wait for my letter!
By the way, how have the two white spears performed in the past month? When you came back, the eagle followed you back overhead!”

“Haha, these two white eagles are very smart. I followed the method you told me, from the fixed point to the bait plate, and finally to the plate with hidden bait. Now they can follow me in the sky for three or four hours!

These two eagles learn quickly, and when the woods are sparsely populated, they will swoop down to disrupt their prey and make feint attacks!
However, the two eagles seemed to be unaware of the destructive power of their swooping attacks. They were too clumsy to work with brute force, and could not even harm a half-grown roe deer.

Otherwise, why don’t you take them out together and let your two eagles be trainers to teach the little eagle some tricks?”

“Okay, if you don’t know how to do it, it means you haven’t learned it well! Watch the eagle’s attack method, and you should be able to master it after learning it once or twice!
Big Black Eagle and Little White Spear are their parents. As long as they get to know each other for two days in advance, they won’t fight when they go hunting together. Don’t worry about that!”

When Uncle Zhao heard Yue Feng say that he could learn from Daying, he felt much more relaxed.

Uncle Zhao was confident when it came to hauling dogs and training bears, but when it came to the eagle, he had too little experience and felt a little restrained.

Since Yue Feng confirmed that there was no problem, Uncle Zhao naturally believed it.

After a brief exchange about the eagles and bears, Yue Feng then asked Uncle Zhao about the current situation of other animals at the farm.

The old man takes care of these little guys very carefully and attentively. No matter whether they are sable, musk deer, or sika deer, they are all raised to be fat and strong and very healthy.

Yue Feng stayed in the farm on the mountain for most of the day and had lunch with the old man on the mountain.

At around 2:00 p.m., Yue Feng said goodbye and rode his motorcycle home. He did not take the four wolf-blooded puppies with him, but temporarily left them to Uncle Zhao to continue training and serving them.

Thinking about making protective gear for Meiqiu, Yue Feng rode his motorcycle into the city after gathering the flying dragons and other prey caught by the hunting team during the day in the afternoon.

He first went to the second canteen to deliver the goods. After delivering the game, Yue Feng went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After locking the motorcycle in the open space outside the door, Yue Feng walked into the house.

“Is the sugar here? Weigh twenty pounds for me!” Yue Feng said with a smile. “No… Oh, my little brother is here!”

Li Li, a salesperson who was sorting out the account books with her head down, was just about to say no as usual, but when she heard the noise and realized that Yue Feng had come, she immediately put down her work and looked up.

“Hey, Sister Li, are you busy?” Yue Feng licked his face and came up to the counter to follow.

“Nothing, just collecting the records from the past few days!
Where have you been during this time? Your two brothers occasionally come to buy things, but I haven’t seen you for a month!
Buying sugar? I want 20 kilograms, but there’s really no sugar in the warehouse! The next batch will arrive at the end of the month, so I’ll leave some for you then?”

White sugar was an extremely scarce commodity at the time. The supply was short and the demand was huge. It was difficult to buy it without connections.

Even if there is a small amount of stock, each person is limited to purchase.

For something like this that demands 20 kilograms right away, not only don’t we have it, we wouldn’t sell it even if we did.

Yue Feng shouted as soon as he entered the room. He was just joking, but he didn’t expect Sister Li to take it seriously.

“Hey, I was just teasing you! If you really need it, I told you in advance!

I have something to do today, so I have to trouble you to ask my uncle to help me get some good leather!
This is the leather specification data I need. I use it a lot. Please pay me the price I should pay!”

As he spoke, Yue Feng took out a piece of paper with cowhide specification data written on it from his pocket and handed it to Li Li.

Li Li took it and glanced down: “It’s top-grain cowhide, this factory uses a lot of it, it’s easy to get! But the leather surface is a bit large, and the thickness requirement is also relatively high. If it’s small pieces, you don’t have to pay for it!
What are you going to use this for? You can’t sew such thick leather with ordinary needles and thread, you need tools!”

“Make protective gear for the livestock at home! The temperature is dropping soon, and it’s time to go hunting in the mountains!

If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have almost forgotten. Please also help me with the needlework and other trivial matters of sewing this thick cowhide!”

“Okay, I’ll go back after get off work. I think it will be here in three to five days. You can come and get it then!”

“Thanks! I’ll be leaving now! By the way, I brought a few chicks for my brother-in-law to eat!”

While speaking, Yue Feng pulled out four live flying dragon birds from under his feet.

They were all old acquaintances, so there was no hypocritical arguing and Li Li took it over generously.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Yue Feng felt relieved.

Now that we have the thick first-layer cowhide, we can have the protective gear for Coal Briquette. When we have nothing to do, we can spend some time as a leatherworker and make it ourselves.

After finishing his work, Yue Feng did not plan to go home immediately. Instead, he turned a corner on his motorcycle and went straight to my brother Hu’s house.

Not counting the past month, in the entire first six months, Yue Feng came to see Wang Hu no more than five times. The first two times, Yue Feng asked Wang Hu for help to get a large freezer to store the meat at home.

Later in the summer, Wang Hu’s house was kept shut. Neighbors said that she had returned to Yanjing to take care of her pregnancy.

The due date is September, so according to the time calculation, the baby should be born now.

It is now late autumn and winter is approaching. Yue Feng estimated that it is time for him to come back. He happened to have nothing to do today, so he went to take a look.

As the throttle was turned, the motorcycle emitted a low humming sound and quickly increased in speed.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the Military Control Commission’s family compound.

The three-wheeler turned the handlebars and stopped in front of Wang Hu’s house.

Yue Feng peeked inside through the crack in the door and saw white cotton cloth for the baby hanging in the yard, so he should be at home.

“Is Brother Hu at home?” Yue Feng shouted at the top of his voice outside the door.

“I’m here, I’m here! Shhh!! Don’t shout!”

Wang Hu came out from the north room at a trot, greeted Yue Feng in a low voice and opened the door for him.

I kept shouting “stop shouting”, but it was too late. As I reached the gate of the courtyard, I heard a baby crying in the north room.

“Fuck, this is so annoying. I finally managed to coax him to sleep, but he woke me up again! Xiaofeng, don’t blame me for being unfair. I’m going to go inside and look after the kids first!”

Wang Hu opened the gate swiftly, turned around and ran back to the house at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Seeing this scene, Yue Feng was a little bit amused and helpless. It is said that one does not know the kindness of parents until one has children. Brother Hu has also suffered this day.

But as he laughed, Yue Feng felt something was wrong.

This newborn baby shouldn’t cry like this. (End of this chapter)
