Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 550 Night Vision
Yue Feng, feeling a little nervous, gave up his plan to enter the forest farm through the back door to eat in the cafeteria. He stepped on the accelerator, changed direction, and chased after the big bird.
The most frightening thing about finding an eagle is having absolutely no idea where to start.
Now that he had unexpectedly discovered the trace of this big bird, Yue Feng felt as if he had grasped the key point, and he had to confirm it first.
Just like that, Yue Feng rode his motorcycle on the firewood road in the forest, turned several corners, and patiently walked around for nearly an hour, and finally saw the big bird that was scared away by the sound of the wood falling to the ground.
When they were about sixty or seventy meters away, Yue Feng pretended not to notice the other party and saw the big bird landing on the tree branch out of the corner of his eye.
It is short, thick, and has a very sturdy body, covered with withered yellow feathers, a large head, and two large eyes that are somewhat out of proportion to the outline of the head.
It really is an adult eagle owl.
The moment Yue Feng saw the big owl clearly, he felt anger rushing from his lower abdomen to the top of his head.
Damn it, we are just keeping to ourselves, how dare you harm my eagle.
The next second, Yue Feng’s shoulders shook, and the 56 semi-automatic rifle was in his hand. He turned on the safety, loaded the rifle, and raised his hand to shoot.
This big guy had already been a little wary when Yue Feng was watching with squinted eyes. The moment it saw him raise his arm with the gun, it immediately flapped its wings and took off.
The next second, Yue Feng fired a gunshot, and the eagle owl flew away from the tree branch where it had landed.
Missed.
Coo coo coo, coo coo
The eagle owl, startled by the gunshots, cooed a few times, quickly flew through the treetops of the mountain forest, and disappeared in front of Yue Feng.
At this moment, Yue Feng felt a little nervous.
The eagle owl and the goshawk have a competitive relationship with highly overlapping ecological niches. If they meet each other in their territory, they will definitely fight to the death.
If you encounter it around the forest farm, there is a 99% chance that the disappearance of the baby eagle is directly related to it.
If it is daytime, the goshawk can see clearly, and even if the eagle owl fights with it, it probably won’t gain the upper hand. Even if it can’t win, it can still run away.
But last night, the young eagle spent a night in the mountains (assuming it was still alive). The night was very dangerous. If the place where it stayed was recognized by the eagle owl, the young eagle would have almost no chance of survival.
Forget it! Let’s look around for any traces first!
Yue Feng found a place where he could not get in the way and locked his motorcycle. Then he walked towards the outer wall of the forest farm where he first spotted the eagle owl taking off.
Looking for eagles on a motorcycle and whistling to determine whether the eagle is around is relatively wide range, and it is highly likely that you will not see remains and the like.
Yue Feng’s idea was simple. He would first do it himself. If the baby eagle was really killed, he would keep it to himself and tell the old man that the eagle might have flown far away and could not be found. He would then kill the murderer with a gun and the matter would be over.
If you cannot be sure that the baby eagle has been killed, then you should put more effort into expanding the search area and you must find the eagle.
With this purpose in mind, Yue Feng walked around the forest farm several times and visited almost all areas suitable for the eagle owl to settle and live.
This walking search was not without results. After a day’s search, Yue Feng discovered the “crime scene” where two eagle owls were dining.
One of them was the remains of a pheasant that had been eaten, and the other was a hare that had been eaten by an eagle owl, leaving only bits of rabbit skin.
In addition, at the foot of the wall behind the forest farm warehouse, Yue Feng found many hair-shafted food balls spit out by eagle owls. Judging from the number of food balls, this eagle owl should have been active around for at least a week.
Yue Feng didn’t have time to eat lunch. When he finished the search and felt hungry, the sky had already darkened and the workers on the day shift at the forest farm were about to get off work.
Yue Feng rode around on his motorcycle, then waited patiently for a while by the fire in the guard room at the entrance of the forest farm while the old man and other workers left the unit after get off work.
“How is it? Did you find anything?”
Yue Lei’s first reaction when he saw his son was to ask about his findings during the day’s search for the eagle.
Yue Feng nodded and pointed at the remains and food balls gathered on Pian Dou’er.
“At the foot of the open-air warehouse behind the forest farm, I found traces of a hateful fox. Here are the remains of its feeding and the hairy food balls it vomited out!”
“What the hell? Is there really a hateful fox in the forest farm?”
Yue Lei’s face turned a little ugly when he heard the news. Could it be that his eagle was really harmed by the hateful fox?
“The bad news is that there really is a hateful fox, but the good news is that I have been strolling around the woods outside the wall of your forest ranger team’s small square.
No bodies were found in the places you mentioned where the eagle likes to stay!
Dad, it’s getting dark, let’s go back! I’ll come back tomorrow to look for another day!”
The old man was in a very low mood, but there was nothing he could do, so he got on the back seat of the motorcycle, and then the two of them rode down the mountain and home.
So far, everything has been relatively normal.
The eagle was not found, but some suspicious traces were discovered, which gave us a rough idea of why the eagle was lost and a direction to search for it.
Until 7:30 in the evening, after the family had finished dinner, a sudden heng ~hu~~ sound was heard from the wall of the neighbor’s old house not far behind the house.
Yue Feng, who was lying on the edge of the kang listening to the radio, suddenly jumped up from the kang.
It’s really the opposite of Tian Gang. The eagle owl that I shot but missed during the day, has it chased me home?
Night owls are not welcome in the Northeast. Although Yue Feng is not superstitious, he knows that this thing is somewhat weird.
It could be said that it was holding a grudge or seeking revenge, but it had some ability to follow the fox home from the forest farm, which was so far away from Xing’an Village. Yue Feng was about to take out his gun from behind the door and go out to shoot. Before he could take off his gun, the big black eagle squatting on the falconer heard the call of the hate fox at night and immediately reacted very violently, spreading its wings and fluffing its feathers, showing a defensive posture.
Quack, quack, quack!
Seeing that Big Black Hawk was getting nervous, Yue Feng quickly comforted him: “Okay, okay, don’t be afraid, I’m here for you!”
Yue Feng touched the eagle’s back several times in a row, but the big black eagle didn’t buy it at all.
The hat-covered head kept nodding slightly left and right, as if trying to determine the location of the fox when it howled just now.
That would have been fine, but after calling out again outside, the big black eagle began to lower its head and scratch its hat with its claws.
The eagle hat made by Yue Feng himself fits the body perfectly. The big black eagle normally has no objection to having the hat pushed on, and has never scratched the hat with its claws.
It’s just a hat. If you really want to grab it, there’s no reason why you can’t grab it. Yue Feng didn’t tie a knot.
Soon, the big Black Hawk took off his hat.
The big black eagle took off its hat and looked like a pissed-off fighting cock. The feathers on its head stood up and it kept looking up at the night sky outside the window.
“What are you looking at? It’s dark outside, how can you see clearly?”
Yue Feng raised his hand and touched the big black eagle’s chest, trying to make this guy quiet down.
The big black eagle pecked Yue Feng’s finger gently, and then pretended to rush out again.
It’s like saying, don’t stop me, let me go out.
“Damn it! I took you to Saint Maiden Lake, and you think you have become more powerful?”
Yue Feng was a little resistant to this uncontrolled behavior.
The big black eagle raised his head and glanced at Yue Feng, still staring out the window.
Upon seeing this, Yue Feng immediately untied the five-foot rope that tied the eagle from the falcon platform.
“Come on, I’ll take you outside to have a look. You’re blind outside the house, and you’re still taking it too seriously!!”
Yue Feng put on gloves and put the hawk on the stand. He tied the five-foot rope tightly around his hands and went out of the house with the hawk on the stand.
Yue Feng’s idea was very simple. In a dark environment, the big black eagle would definitely stop because it had lost its sight.
It is true that the gyrfalcon is a hexagonal warrior, but every profession has its own expertise. For a diurnal bird of prey like this to fight against a nocturnal bird of prey like the eagle owl after dark is nothing more than asking for trouble.
Yue Feng carried the hawk, pushed open the door and came to the yard. He originally thought that it would be safer if the hawk couldn’t see, but when he got to the dark environment, he suddenly found a problem.
The big black eagle’s eyes, shrouded in the hazy moonlight, were glowing like those of a dog or other wild animal.
“Huh???”
Yue Feng let out a light exclamation and felt his scalp tingling.
The next second, he shouted towards his father’s room, “Dad, Mom, are you asleep?”
“Not yet. Why are you making noise in the yard so late at night?”
“Get up and bring out the little white spear in my room! Our big black eagle is a little different than usual!!”
Hearing his son mention the two precious falcons at home, Yue Lei was a little reluctant to move, but he still put on his clothes and went into Yue Feng’s house in the west, and took out the other obedient little white spear.
“What’s wrong with the eagle?” Yue Lei asked.
Yue Feng pointed at the big black eagle’s eyes and said, “Look at the big black eagle’s eyes, they are glowing even when it’s dark in the yard!
I can be sure that before, the big black eagle was blind at night and its eyes did not glow!
Take off Little White Spear’s hat and take a look. They are of the same species. Compare them!!”
Hearing his son say this, Yue Lei immediately took off Xiao Baimao’s hat.
Indeed, without comparison there is no concept. Xiao Baimao’s eyes are the same as before. In the dark yard, he is blind and cannot see the surrounding situation clearly. He squats on Yue Lei’s arm without moving.
Looking at the big black eagle next to it, this guy’s eyes were shining, and he kept rushing towards the direction where the eagle owl had just called.
Yue Feng changed his position several times, and it quickly adjusted its standing posture, keeping its eyes looking over there.
“There seems to be something over there where the big black eagle is looking!” Yue Lei looked at it for a few seconds and said with certainty.
Yue Feng scratched his head and said, “Just now I was in the house and heard a few calls of hateful foxes!
I fired a shot at that hateful fox in the forest this day but missed. Could it have followed me home?”
“Shit! What are you wasting time on? With this hateful fox around, the eagles we have tied up at home will be harmed by it!
Let me go into the house and get my gun, then I’ll go out and shoot that son of a bitch!”
When Yue Lei heard that the Hate Fox had followed him home, he didn’t care whether the Big Black Hawk could see him or not, and turned around to go into the house to get his gun.
“Don’t get excited. The eagles at home are either in the eagle shed or in the house. It’s useless to yell at the fox. It won’t threaten the eagles at home.
Let’s study first, how can this big black eagle have night vision? It didn’t have this ability at night when we were at Saint Lake!” (End of this chapter)
