Chapter 94: Milk Eagle

When Wang Jianguo heard this, he knew there might be some hidden story. He was afraid that Yue Feng would offend the Zhou family completely by his reckless words, so he immediately interrupted Yue Feng and said, “Okay, Xiaofeng, let’s stop here!

Old Zhou, Yue Jia Erxiao has also explained the situation to you clearly. Falcons cannot be fed pork. You fed the falcon carelessly and it died. You can’t blame others!

Let’s all go away!!”

Wang Jianguo’s prestige in the village was still very high. When he said disperse, many people in the crowd who were watching the excitement turned around and walked out.

There were more than a dozen members of the Zhou family present, but the eldest son of the Zhou family, who was the leader, didn’t say anything, and the others didn’t dare to get angry.

When most of the people had dispersed, Zhou Jianjun waved his hand and turned away in a daze.

Seeing this, some people may be curious, what on earth does Yue Feng know, and how can Zhou Jianjun completely control him with just one sentence!

This was something that happened in his previous life. Yue Feng remembered it was in 84 or 85. Zhou Jianjun, who was already doing well at the time, was suddenly arrested and sentenced to twelve years of forced labor.

According to accurate information from the village, in 79, Zhou Jianjun was involved in a premeditated burglary murder. Zhou Jianjun instigated a vagrant named Li to kill several ginseng farmers who went into the mountains to collect ginseng.

Later, this man named Li was arrested for another crime and he confessed this matter, and the truth came to light.

Ever since Zhou Jianjun proposed to buy Yue Feng’s falcon, almost everyone opposed it. Why did Yue Feng dare to sell it to him? In addition to Yue Feng’s absolute understanding of falcon training and the habits of birds of prey, this piece of information that no one except the parties involved knew was Yue Feng’s biggest trump card.

Yue Feng knew Zhou Jianjun’s temper very well. Zhou Jianjun was indeed smart, but he did not have the courage to do bad things.

It was he who provided the information and the other party took action when they teamed up with the blind drifter. Zhou Qi’s role was that of a military advisor who gave advice and plotted the plot. Otherwise, he would not have been released after being sentenced to only twelve years in prison for the crime of murder.

Yue Feng was certain that Zhou Jianjun would not be able to make any more trouble after suffering a loss, so he dared to set a trap for him to take revenge by using the matter of buying the eagle. With Zhou Jianjun’s tail in his hand, the other party would definitely not dare to fight to the death as long as he was not pushed too hard.

As for the fact that Yue Feng was not afraid of being killed by Zhou to silence him, it was purely self-scare.

Unless Zhou Jianjun physically saved all the people who had close contact with Yue Feng, silencing them would be an empty talk. After all, the Zhou family is not alone. How could so many Zhou family members be buried together?
Now the development of the whole thing is almost exactly the same as Yue Feng’s expectation. The other party came to make trouble and wanted to get their money back after the eagle died. As a result, Yue Feng confronted the Zhou family alone, and in front of dozens of villagers, he dealt with the Zhou family with clear thinking and logic.

Not long after the Zhou family left, they heard panting sounds coming from outside.

“Brother Feng, where are the people? Where are those old Bidens from the Zhou family? Did they not do anything? If you dare to show your teeth, I will bleed those bastards one by one!”

Yue Feng looked up and saw Xiao Tao holding a shiny spear in his hand, holding his knees and breathing heavily. Needless to say, he knew that he had heard the news and rushed over here.

Seeing his somewhat aggressive brother, Yue Feng felt warm in his heart. Although they were not blood relatives, Xiao Tao would really help him if he had any problems.

“Xiao Tao, why are you running around with a spear in the middle of the night? I’ll tell your father and ask him to teach you a lesson!”

When Wang Jianguo saw this, he knew why Xiao Tao came and scolded him in anger.

Xiao Tao usually didn’t dare to show off to Wang Jianguo. He didn’t get angry even after being scolded. He grinned and said, “Hey, those Zhou family members are bastards. I’m afraid my brother will suffer! Is the matter settled?”

Yue Feng nodded: “Yes, it’s done! It’s nothing, the two eagles were fed pork by the Zhou family and died! Put away the spear, it’s scary at night!”

“Okay, as long as we don’t suffer any loss! You didn’t even come to my house to tell me when the Zhou family was causing trouble. What if we suffer any loss?”

Yue Feng also smiled: “With our uncle here, how can I suffer any loss? Today, I have to thank Uncle Wang for presiding over justice. Later, I, the nephew, will treat you to a drink!”

Wang Jianguo curled his lips and glanced at Yue Feng: “I dare not drink your wine carelessly. It’s only been a few days, and you beat up the old man of the Zhu family. Today you pointed at Zhou Laosan’s nose and scolded him. Are you going to provoke the Zhang family again tomorrow?
In a few days, you will have offended all the old families in the village.

When you were little and couldn’t even fart with three kicks, I told your dad that you were too shy. Now you have awakened?

You bastard, you have to establish a reputation in the village, right? “

Yue Feng chuckled: “I just organized a few guys to go up the mountain to fly eagles to earn some money. I didn’t take the initiative to provoke anyone. I can’t just endure it when they bully me, right?”

“Don’t be so frivolous! The matter with the Zhou family ends here. No matter what you know, keep it to yourself and watch your mouth. Do you hear me?” Wang Jianguo warned with a serious face.

Yue Feng nodded: “Got it!”

“Then get out of here. Remember to call me when you catch something delicious. I also have good wine!” Wang Jianguo waved his hand and ordered him to leave.

“No, it’s so hard to get to the village office, I still have something to trouble you, uncle!” Yue Feng did not leave immediately, but instead flattered himself and had something else to mention.

“Whatever you say, you fart!”

“I plan to go up to the mountains to hunt livestock in a while. My father told me that he needs to ask you to get the list of qualifications for the hunter team and the gun-carrying procedures.

Also, I don’t have a gun at home, so I need a letter of introduction from the village office, which might be useful later!”

Yue Feng took the opportunity to bring up everything he had discussed with Yue Lei before about getting guns.

“Are you planning to go deep into the mountains? Aren’t these hills in front of your house enough for you to show off?”

After hearing Yue Feng’s request, Wang Jianguo frowned slightly. Both his expression and tone showed that he was very opposed to Yue Feng’s decision.

Yue Feng said: “Once the snow falls and the weather turns cold, if we continue to release the falcons, we won’t get as good a harvest as in autumn!
I just made a little money, so I thought about going into the mountains with my uncle Li to get some livestock! My dad agreed to this, and so did my uncle Li!

Hearing Li Wentong’s agreement, Wang Jianguo’s resistance was obviously relieved a lot.

Even though Yue Feng is already 20 years old, he has not yet started a family or a career. In Wang Jianguo’s eyes, he is still a child.

There was nothing wrong with showing off on the hill near their home, as hunting teams would come out to clear the area in autumn almost every year. But if they went deep into the mountains, the risk would increase sharply, and it was not something a few young boys like them could handle.

“Okay, I’ll give you the list of names of the hunter team first. As for buying guns, once you’ve decided, come over and I’ll give you a letter of introduction!
You and Xiao Tao are already grown up, I have watched you grow up since you were young, but you must not be arrogant, you must have enough respect for the mountains! Do you hear me? “

“Hehe, I heard it! I’ll remember Uncle Wang’s teachings! When I go into the mountains and kill a wild boar, I’ll definitely give Uncle Wang a thigh as a gift!!” Yue Feng was in a good mood when he heard Wang Jianguo agreed to help.

“Anything else? If not, get lost!”

“Hey, uncle is leaving!” Yue Feng said hello and left Wang Jianguo’s house arm in arm with Xiao Tao.

Wang Jianguo stared at Yue Feng’s back and liked him more and more.

This young man in his early twenties is both capable and courageous. Facing a group of people, he has logical thinking and shows no fear at all. Other young men of the same age in the village are far from being as good as Yue Feng.

For a moment, a somewhat vague thought arose in Wang Jianguo’s heart.

For example, if I discuss it with my child’s mother, it seems like it would be a good idea to become relatives with my wife’s parents, but I don’t know if my daughter is willing.

……

Yue Feng and Xiao Tao walked out of Wang Jian’s house. As soon as they went out, they saw a few people standing at the foot of the wall.

Xiaowen, Xiaowu, and Li Wentong, all three of them had weapons in their hands. Some held knives, and some held spears like Xiaotao’s. They were ready to fight to the death.

“Are you okay, Xiaofeng?” Li Wentong asked with concern.

Yue Feng smiled and waved his hands: “It’s okay, the Zhou family is in the wrong, so I pointed at their noses and scolded them, and Zhou Jianjun didn’t dare to talk back!”

Li Wentong: “That’s fine. If the Zhu family bullies us, we dare to beat them up. The Zhou family doesn’t have many more members. If they want to cause trouble, we can still deal with them!”

“Yes, if they bully us, just fight them!” Xiaowu also echoed in a deep voice.

“Let’s go back to my house first. I guess everyone hasn’t eaten yet. Let my mom prepare two dishes and we can have a drink in the evening!” Yue Feng called.

“go!”

Even when they were fighting with the Zhou family, an old household in the village, no one on his team was scared. Although Yue Feng didn’t say it, he was indescribably touched in his heart.

If you want to avoid being bullied in the village, you still need someone to help you. With these four friends leading this guy, not to mention that a fight didn’t break out, even if a fight really broke out, Yue Feng didn’t think he would suffer any loss.

Of course, the best strategy is to attack the enemy’s strategy. At any time, taking action is the worst strategy. Only those who can defeat the enemy without fighting are truly wise.

When Yue Feng and his four companions returned to the Yue family, Meng Yulan and Yue Lei were waiting anxiously at the door. Seeing that Yue Feng had returned safely, Meng Yulan came up to him with concern.

“You didn’t do anything, Xiaofeng? How did you deal with it? I heard that the two eagles that the Zhou family bought were both dead!”

Yue Feng smiled and said, “Let’s solve it peacefully! They fed him pork to death, it has nothing to do with us! Mom, we haven’t eaten yet, cook a few dishes, we need to drink tonight!”

“Okay, everyone, come inside! I’ll take care of it!”

After everyone entered the house and got on the kang, Yue Feng slowly and briefly explained the whole process to everyone. However, Yue Feng only mentioned the last part about Zhou Jianjun’s murder for money vaguely, and no one asked about it.

We decided to eat at home at the last minute and didn’t prepare anything in advance, so there was limited room for maneuver. But now that my family has money, I have more food supplies.

Meng Yulan made stir-fried pork slices with onions, four sand chickens stir-fried with chili peppers, fried peanuts, fried eggs with green onions, opened a can of small yellow croaker, cut some luncheon meat, and finally made egg and tomato soup. Six dishes and one soup. This standard may seem ordinary now, but in the context of the era, this was the standard for a wedding banquet.

As the last egg soup was served on the table, Yue Feng picked up the wine glass swiftly.

“I won’t say anything to express my gratitude. I’ll just toast to everyone!”

Yue Feng picked up the two taels of high-proof liquor and drank it all in one gulp.

Yue Feng felt very happy today. This was the kind of hatred that was suppressed in his heart, and it was a refreshing feeling after being released! The old Zhou family had avenged their family. After today’s incident, the reputation of the Zhou family in the village would definitely be affected, and Zhou Jianjun must have lived in fear before the incident.

On the table, all the others, brothers and uncles, were affected by Yue Feng’s mood and drank the white wine in their cups in one gulp. Xiao Tao usually didn’t drink white wine, but after drinking it in one gulp, he fanned himself because of the spicy taste.

“Eat some vegetables to relieve the pressure!” Yue Lei picked up a piece of pork belly with chopsticks and gave it to Xiao Tao. Xiao Tao felt a little better after eating it.

……

The meal started at around seven and lasted until almost nine. However, with the experience of getting drunk last time, everyone drank relatively steadily today and went home. Except for Yue Lei who was a little tipsy, everyone else was fine.

After seeing the Zhang brothers off at the door of the house, when Xiao Tao was about to go home through the back door of the yard with his father, Yue Feng grabbed Li Wentong’s hand.

“Uncle, there’s something I forgot to ask you. Do you still have the medicinal wine that can help you have children? I have a friend who has a minor problem and wants to try it!”

“Medicinal wine? Now is not the time!” Li Wentong shook his head.

“When will it be available? I’ve never heard of a specific time before. Is there a specific time?”

“Yes! We must go to the mountains to hunt an adult male deer within two days before and after the winter solstice, and use the three-piece suit for deer, plus a few other herbs to make wine, to be effective! We have the other medicines ready at home, but we don’t have the three-piece suit for male deer right now!” Li Wentong said without reservation.

“Okay, I get it. There’s still a month until the winter solstice. Let’s study it then!”

“Row!”

After finding out the last thing, Yue Feng closed the doors and windows of his house and went back inside.

On the kang in the east room, my father was fiddling with his radio. Yue Feng took the big eagle at the door down from the stand, held it in his hands, and sat down on the edge of the kang.

“You did a great job today! Lan, our second boy is capable now!” Yue Lei said to Yue Feng and Meng Yulan with tears in his eyes.

Yue Feng grinned: “Dad, after the New Year, I will be twenty years old. I am not a child anymore! I know everything about the things at home and outside!”

“Well, last time we fought with the Zhu family, I thought you were a little unstable, but today, I think you did a great job!
But the Zhou family is very insidious, so you still have to be careful and don’t let Zhou Gudong (in Northeast China, Gudong describes a person who is good at calculating and using crooked tricks behind the scenes) scheme against you! “

Yue Feng nodded: “Don’t worry, I know what’s going on! I have Zhou Jianjun’s tail in my hand. If he is a smart man, he will probably come to make friends with our family instead of causing trouble again!”

“Hmm? What did you hear?”

“When I was in the forest farm, I heard some bad things about him from others. It’s not a glorious thing. If I tell him about it, he will have no chance to stay in the village. He will have to stay in prison for a few years. I tried to trick him today, but I didn’t expect that I succeeded!” Yue Feng didn’t say it clearly, and just dealt with it with a few vague words.

“Okay, I’m glad you got it! We’ve been busy all day in the mountains and we’re tired. Why don’t you wash your feet and go back to bed early?”

Yue Feng shook his head: “The eagle has not been flown yet, let’s fly it for a while. By the way, how is the chicken eagle doing today?”

When Yue Lei heard Yue Feng mention the little chicken eagle, he also stood up by the edge of the kang.

“When I heard about your visit to the village office, I tied the eagle to the barn. This little yellow eagle has a bad temper and started eating happily the day I got it. It’s been kept for a few days and it’s almost ready. Let’s take turns to keep it awake all night tonight!”

“Okay! Let’s fix it up. Xiao Tao and his four companions are flying three eagles, but we’re short of one!”

The father and son had a brief discussion and decided to strengthen this little Chicken Hawk.

The necessary steps for training an eagle have been explained before. When we were training that big iron-backed red eagle, it took us seven or eight days, and I even stayed up all night for many nights.

But the same trick was used on this little chicken eagle today, and the eagle’s “submission” performance was much stronger than before.

In the first half of the night, Yue Feng took a nap for less than four hours. At one o’clock in the middle of the night, Yue Lei woke up his son.

Yue Feng took the chicken eagle from his father’s hand, and Yue Lei went back to the east room to rest.

After getting the chicken hawk in his hands, Yue Feng discovered that the condition of this little hawk was really good. Even before he started to give it all the “intensity” of patting its head, tail and paws, the little hawk had basically shown no resistance.

Yue Feng sat in the house with the hawk for a while, walked around for a while, and then used small techniques such as turning his wrist. At just 2:30, he subdued the little chicken hawk.

What does “completely dressed” mean? At this moment, the little chicken eagle has completely listened, and its appearance is almost the same as that of the iron-backed red eagle. Its hair is all spread out, just like an old hen sitting on a nest.

No matter how Yue Feng touched it, the eagle did not resist. After three o’clock, the little eagle simply buried its head in its arms, completely losing any guard against people.

Seeing the completely lost wildness of the little chicken hawk, Yue Feng couldn’t help but curl up his lips. This thing is really petty, and the effort it put in is not even as good as that of the big blue kite. When it gets out of the way at dawn, it will go out to fight for a day. Tomorrow, it will be able to shout 30 to 40 meters, and then it can become a hawk.

While Yue Feng was training the eagle at home and couldn’t get any sleep, Zhou Jianjun’s family was also sleepless all night.

Zhou Jianjun and the vagrant named Li were in cahoots with each other. They met while drinking in Lengchang. Later, Zhou Jianjun found that this man was very courageous and relatively easy to control, so he came up with the idea of ​​winning him over and making use of him.

The so-called blind drifters are people who have no land or house and are wandering from outside. Most of them are poor people who have fled here. A small number of them are dangerous people who have committed crimes in the interior and come to the Northeast to hide.

Zhou Jianjun judged that this vagrant named Li Hanjun belonged to the latter category and must have something on his hands.

Not long after, Zhou Jianjun heard a piece of news from another friend that two ginseng diggers seemed to have dug up a big hammer somewhere and sold it for a lot of money.

The ginseng pickers are also organized into an organization called a ginseng gang. Usually, a leader leads everyone to make a living. Strictly speaking, if a person goes alone to someone else’s territory, it is somewhat overstepping the line. If they are not caught, it is just because they are lucky.

From this perspective, Zhou Jianjun knew that these two ginseng collectors had no background, so he had some evil intentions.

He secretly told Li Hanjun the news he had heard, and Li Hanjun immediately had the idea of ​​killing and robbing.

Under Zhou Jianjun’s advice, Li Hanjun disguised himself as a hunter going down the mountain to stay in a temporary cellar of ginseng pickers. After a few visits, he became familiar with them. When he went up the mountain again, he brought poisoned wine with ingredients, and then found an opportunity to poison the two men to death. After looting their money and valuables, Li Hanjun destroyed all traces of the bodies.

The murder was committed by Li Hanjun, but Zhou Jianjun also got a lot of money from it, and the whole thing was done without anyone noticing.

Nowadays, it is very normal to lose one or two people in the mountains, let alone those outsiders with no roots. It has been more than half a year since the incident, and there has been no movement. Zhou Jianjun has slowly begun to forget about it.

But today, when he was confronting Yue Feng in public about buying a falcon, Yue Feng brought up this matter.

The Li mentioned by Yue Feng is obviously Li Hanjun, and the “bangchui” does not refer to the corn grown in the fields, but the wild ginseng dug by ginseng pickers, which is why it is called “bangchui”.

No, he had to wait until daybreak and ask Li Hanjun no matter what. Zhou Jianjun was sure that he had never mentioned this to anyone. If the news leaked out, it would definitely be Li Hanjun’s fault.

……

The next morning, Yue Feng was strolling around the yard with the chicken hawk on its leash. Ever since the chicks came out of the leash at around five o’clock, the hawk had become murderous, its eyes had become lively, and it was in good shape.

Yue Feng was planning last night to go out and fight for a day during the day, and then go to Chengying tomorrow.

But seeing the eagle’s performance, he simply took the tire line and strolled towards the grove by the river outside the village.

The grove is mainly occupied by sand chickens. Both the Li family father and son and the Zhang family brothers have come here less frequently recently.

There are fewer eagle-handled people coming to sweep the area, and it won’t be long before the frequency of sand chicken activities in this area will increase again.

Look, from a long distance away, Yue Feng could hear the chirping sounds of sand chickens under the bushes.

Upon seeing this, Yue Feng directly hung the string on the chicken hawk, and then slowly moved the hawk closer.

A kite can be released flat, but a chicken hawk is difficult because its size is too large to be released flat by hand.

In this situation, you can only hold the eagle in place and release it like a hawk catching a rabbit.

Prey such as sand chickens have very poor flying speed and skills, making them perfect for eagles.

Yue Feng slowly held the eagle close to the prey, and the distance was within ten meters.

The chick hawk standing on the arm stared at the bushes with its eyes fixed, refusing to take the initiative to attack.

Yue Feng knew that the eagle had been struggling in his hands for too long, and that its legs were tied and it could not break free, so it just stared at it and did not take any action.

At this time, Yue Feng decisively made a slightly risky decision.

I saw him slowly bending down, picking up a pebble from the ground, then throwing the pebble out with his left hand, and it fell into the bushes with a plop.

At the sudden stimulation, the chicks in the bushes immediately fluttered into flight and ran wildly in all directions.

Stimulated by the prey, the little chicken hawk in Yue Feng’s hand suddenly kicked Yue Feng’s arm and flew in a straight line to the place where the sand chicken took off.

It must be said that from the perspective of absolute speed alone, the flying speed of the Chicken Hawk launched by Quan Lie could definitely not catch up with the Big Blue Kites that Yue Feng had flown before, but compared with several other ordinary kites, the pursuit speed was not much different.

The chick eagle quickly rushed to the mid-air position after the sand chicken took off. There was basically no major adjustment in its flying posture. It only used one claw to reach out and knocked down a sand chicken.

ji! ji! ji!

The little eagle that caught its prey actually started chirping like a young eagle begging for food from a big eagle.

Hearing these cries for begging for food, Yue Feng’s heart was shocked.

Oh my god, is this little chick eagle a fledgling eagle?
