Chapter 158 Show off your skills

The big black eagle squatting on the tree branch saw its owner and the dog rushing back, and cackled a few times, as if to remind it that they had not caught up yet.

Yue Feng heard the big black eagle’s cackling sound and looked up with a smile: “Damn, you have wings, do you still need a dog to pull you? Fly on your own!”

The big black eagle seemed to understand Yue Feng’s complaints. After calling out twice, it spread its wings from the branch it was standing on, took off with a leap, and flew steadily out of the woods with its wings flapping. It flew higher and higher overhead, and soon reached a familiar altitude. It then circled over Yue Feng’s head and followed him.

The three brothers who witnessed the performance of the big black eagle today were quite surprised to see that Yue Feng not only did not put a hat on the eagle with a big crop on its head, but let it fly by itself.

After all, they have been releasing hawks and hunting in small enclosures from autumn to the beginning of winter, and only took a short break for a few days during the recent heavy snow and strong winds.

The three brothers have personally verified the truth that an eagle will not work if it is full, but they did not expect that this big black eagle is an exception.

Xiao Tao, who couldn’t keep his composure, looked up a few times and said, “Brother, aren’t you afraid that the eagle will be full and fly away? It had a big crop just now, so conservatively speaking, it was about 90% full!”

Yue Feng smiled and nodded: “It’s okay, I was worried at first, but after going up the mountain to test it a few times, I gradually stopped worrying about it!
The big black eagle is different from other eagles. It is very smart! It can tell the difference between having one meal full and not having enough every meal! “

Talking about the big black eagle, Xiaowen also asked curiously: “How did we train this eagle to make a sound when it found prey? If other eagles in our hands can also give us a signal, then in the future, we won’t need such a strong demand for good hunting dogs!”

“I learned it by accident! Last time I took my dog ​​to the mountains for a walk, we ran into a two-year-old sow weighing less than 200 pounds, and the dog and the pig got into a standoff in the arena.

When the eagle saw this, he thought that his little brother was being bullied, so he attacked the wild boar. While the wild boar was stunned by the air attack, the four dogs pinned the boar there!
At that time, I was still on the ridge watching the performance of the dog and the eagle, and was not in a hurry to decide on the location of the nest.

At this time, the big black eagle, who was in control of the situation, screamed at me to report the news. I rewarded it once, and it should have understood that today when we went up the mountain, the distance for reporting the news was much longer than last time! !

We will have to continue to strengthen it later. If we can find prey two kilometers away in advance, then we can cooperate with the dog to go straight to Huanglong, and the efficiency of hunting in the mountains will be much higher!”

Xiaowu: “Look at this guy flapping his wings as if he’s about to eat something. I guess he’ll really be able to do it later!
From now on, when we go hunting, we will be the only ones in Changbai Mountains, and we will send out the army and air force together!”

“Haha, once we get those four wolf cubs out of here, our team will be even stronger!”

……

After we killed the bear, we were in high spirits on the way down the mountain, chatting and laughing. After more than an hour, we arrived at the Red Star Forest Farm.

The guard at the forest farm came out of the message room immediately after seeing four young men in gaiters and dressed like hunters coming over with their dogs pulling a sled.

“What are you guys doing? Going up the mountain to hunt bears?”

Yue Feng walked to the front and nodded with a smile: “Hello uncle, we are hunters from Xing’an Village at the foot of the mountain. My name is Yue Feng, and the people next to you are members of our hunting team. Didn’t our forest farm offer a reward for someone to go up the mountain and kill the blind bear that hurt people? We went up the mountain today and killed the bear, and we came to our farm to collect the reward!”

When the gatekeeper heard Yue Feng say that they were here to claim the reward, he looked Yue Feng and the others up and down.

He has a youthful face and looks no more than 20 years old. How can such a young kid go up the mountain to hunt bears?
If Yue Feng hadn’t been carrying a gun and followed by four hunting dogs, the old man wouldn’t have believed it at first glance.

“Did you guys kill this bear? I heard that the bear that injured someone weighed at least 400 to 500 kilograms. This thing looks skinny, so it doesn’t look like one!”

The security guard took another look at the bear carcass tied to Yue Feng’s sled, his tone full of doubt.

“Hey, what are you talking like that, old man! We didn’t hit it, it died on its own?” Xiao Tao immediately became unhappy when he heard the old man’s questioning words.

“Wait at the door first!”

The old gatekeeper glanced at Xiao Tao, said something coldly, turned into the house, and called the forest ranger team’s office on the intercom.

Seeing the gatekeeper’s questioning tone, Xiao Tao was obviously a little upset.

Yue Feng gave him a reassuring look, and Xiao Tao forced himself to suppress his anger.

After a while, several middle-aged men in forest ranger uniforms walked out of the factory to the door.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties, with a short flat head and a slightly red face. When he spoke, he faintly smelled of alcohol. It went without saying that he must have drunk alcohol at noon!

“You guys went up the mountain and killed the black bear that injured people? Where is the bear? Let me see!”

The man with the flat head glanced at Yue Feng and the others, then glanced around at them.

“It’s tied to the sled! We just came down the mountain and the bear’s body is still warm!” Yue Feng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The short-haired man walked to the side of the black bear’s body with his hands behind his back, looked it up and down, and nodded: “Okay, come in with me! I’ll take you to find the leader of the forest farm!”

Several people followed the man with the flat head into the gate, and he led them to an office area near the southeast corner.

The dog and the sled were outside, and there was their own eagle in the sky, so Yue Feng and the others did not go into the house, but waited patiently outside.

When they heard that the bear that had injured people had been killed by hunters, many people who worked in the forest office came out to watch the fun.

Soon, a leader with a big belly came over.

“Comrades, thank you for getting rid of a hazard in our forest farm!! Thank you!! I am Zhou Jianchun, the deputy director in charge of the forest farm’s production safety. Hello, hello!”

After Zhou Jianchun showed up, he behaved very politely, shaking hands and expressing gratitude, giving people a feeling of a spring breeze.

“Hello, Director Zhou! My name is Yue Feng, and I’m a hunter from Xing’an Village. We have killed this bear. I wonder what the procedure is for claiming the reward?” Yue Feng didn’t bother to be vague and went straight to the point.

“Comrade Xiao Yue, don’t worry! Since the factory has agreed to pay the money, it will definitely not break its promise, but everything has to go through the process!
In this way, you can leave the bear’s body behind and go back to wait. Once the factory verifies the bear’s identity, you will certainly get a share of the reward. Do you think this is okay?”

Zhou Jianchun touched his upper lip to his lower lip and lightly planned to keep the bear.

Hearing this, Yue Feng knew that these so-called leaders were going to cause trouble, and narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “It’s not a problem to leave it here, but let us wait, at least give us a time limit. To be realistic, we have nothing to do with the factory. We heard the news from the loudspeaker in the village office, so we took such a big risk to come to the mountain to hunt bears to solve the production risk problem of the forest farm!
Now you just told us to go back and wait for news and sent us away. If the bear carcass used as evidence is accidentally damaged, mutilated, or even lost, who can we turn to for justice?”

Zhou Jianchun originally thought that Yue Feng and his companions were all young boys, so he wanted to use some tricks on them. However, he did not expect that the young man in front of him was a little difficult to deal with, so he just pushed back his official tone.

“How could such good evidence be lost? Comrade Xiao Yue, you are worrying too much!”

Zhou Jianchun looked at Yue Feng with a smile and did not show any displeasure because of the other party’s questioning.

“How about this, I’ll borrow our forest farm’s phone to call our village office and ask our village secretary Wang Jianguo to come over. If he nods and guarantees this matter, we’ll go back and wait!

Otherwise, we will drag the bear away first. After all, the reward is only three hundred yuan plus some food coupons!

This bear weighs more than 200 pounds. With its paws and meat, it is worth some money. Even if I can’t sell it, at least I can take it home to eat. I have to take one of the two!”

When Zhou Jianchun heard Yue Feng bring up Wang Jianguo, he immediately knew that he couldn’t get away with this.

The forest farm is a state-owned unit, which was indeed very powerful at that time, but when dealing with the villagers, it was difficult to gain control of them.

They issued a reward to the village through the township security department. Now if the hunters from the mountain come to claim the reward with their prey and something goes wrong, they can cover it up, but if something similar happens again in the future, they will no longer be able to speak up.

“It’s just a small matter, but you really need to ask your village secretary to go there! It just snowed heavily on the mountain, and it will take several hours to go back and forth!
Otherwise, please wait a moment. I will go to the office to discuss with other people and give you an answer as soon as possible!”

“Okay, we’ll wait here first! By the way, let me ask you one more thing. We haven’t seen the content of the reward with our own eyes, so we may not know the details clearly.

I want to check with you, if it is confirmed that the bear is indeed the target of the bounty, after we receive the bounty, will the bear belong to our forest farm or to our hunters?” Yue Feng continued to ask.

“This bear? Our forest farm paid for it, so of course it belongs to the forest farm!” Zhou Jianchun said as a matter of course.

When Yue Feng heard this, he narrowed his eyes, smiled and nodded: “If that’s the case, then we don’t want the reward from the forest farm! Xiao Tao, let’s go!”

“Comrade, our forest farm is a big market. You can come and go as you please.”

When Zhou Jianchun saw that he couldn’t control Yue Feng and the others at all, his true colors were revealed.

“It was clearly stated on the loudspeaker at the village office that those who get rid of the bear should bring the carcass to the forest farm to claim the reward. After the bear’s body is identified, the carcass will belong to the villagers!
Since you don’t keep your word, why should we waste time with you? Why don’t you go into the house and discuss it with us, or change someone or tell us something different to fool us?

Xiao Tao, let’s go!”

Yue Feng pointed it out directly to Zhou Jianchun’s face, completely exposing all the little tricks in Zhou Jianchun’s mind.

“No one in the forest farm dares to talk to me like this! Who do you think you are? A few young boys holding a gun and leading two mixed-breed dogs. Do you really think you are old hunters? You have a dead mouse on your waist, what are you pretending to be!

If I don’t say anything, do you believe that you won’t be able to leave this door?

Now, I suspect that you are pretending to claim the reward, and you are trying to escape after being discovered. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better behave yourself and stop showing off, otherwise the guns of our forestry security department will not have eyes!”

Zhou Jianchun was completely disloyal and didn’t even want to pretend anymore.

When Yue Feng heard this, he became furious.

Originally, I thought that Zhou Jianchun would leave some wiggle room and not go too far and completely break off relations, but this guy didn’t achieve his goal and changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. It seems that he thinks Yue Feng and the others are just kids and wants to be shameless!

In this era, forest farms are indeed powerful, but they are also not unreasonable.

If Yue Feng and his friends were rootless outsiders, they would have no choice but to accept the consequences if they were bullied.

However, the four brothers were all from the village at the foot of the mountain. The folk customs of the mountain people at that time were very tough, and we cannot simply look at them from the perspective of future generations.

“Fuck! You son of a bitch, you don’t want to have an easy life anymore! How dare you bully your Grandpa Xiao Tao!”

Xiao Tao, who had the hottest temper, immediately pulled out the knife from his waist when he saw the other party turn hostile and threaten him. It was true that the forest farm security department had guns, but he did not dare to shoot without real evidence, otherwise the consequences would be something that even the head of the forest farm would not be able to bear.

Yue Feng grabbed Xiao Tao and said coldly, “Stay still!”

When Xiao Tao saw Yue Feng’s narrowed eyes, he immediately turned off the engine.

Yue Feng took another step forward, staring fearlessly at Zhou Jianchun: “Our Yue family has been hunters for generations, and the other people are also old households in the village. Are you sure you want to make a big deal out of this?
Do you think that we are just kids, young and at best a greenhorn hunter wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble even if we have a falling out?
Before you make a decision, let me show you my trick. Blind bears are not the only ones who can hurt people on this mountain!”

After saying this, Yue Feng took out a lure from his bag and blew a long whistle towards the sky.

The next second, the big black eagle that had been circling overhead for a long time folded its wings and swooped down with a whistling sound, landing directly on Yue Feng’s arm.

A pure black Saker Falcon with a wingspan of nearly one meter dropped from the sky and landed obediently in Yue Feng’s hands. Its sharp claws and hooked beak declared that the young man in front of him was a serious old-school hunter.

The visual impact of the big black eagle falling from the sky was so strong that it directly shocked Zhou Jianchun, who claimed to have seen the world.

The serious old hunters at the foot of the mountain are not easy to mess with. If you really make enemies with them, they have plenty of ways to make your forest farm uncomfortable.

There is no need to beat or scold you, or even have any direct conflict with you, in order to make it impossible for the forest farm to produce normally.

For example, get some bear fur, meat, or smelly blood and bury them on the firewood road. No matter if it’s a cow, horse, or mule, they will be scared when they pass by.

What’s more, Yue Feng himself was carrying a Type 56-and-a-half on his back. If he really got anxious and fought to the death, no one would benefit.

Zhou Jianchun’s face changed again and again. After seeing Yue Feng’s black falcon that came as soon as he was summoned, he knew that he had hit a tough opponent.
