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

Chapter 202 Background

Chapter 202 Background
“What the hell! I was so scared!” Ye Xiaojun immediately uttered foul language.

Yue Feng was quick-witted and quick-handed. He stepped forward and pulled Ye Xiaojun behind him.

After seeing clearly the appearance of the thing that jumped out of the snow hole, Yue Feng’s tense nerves relaxed.

It turned out to be a honey dog.

The scientific name of the honey marten is the yellow-throated marten. It is a small but extremely powerful social predatory animal.

This creature is about the same size as a fox, but it can hunt medium to large prey such as red deer and sika deer. It is a very dangerous beast in the mountains.

However, this thing is very smart and rarely attacks humans. If encountered at close range, it will generally stay away from them.

Xiao Li next to him raised his gun and was ready to fire, but was stopped by Yue Feng.

“No, don’t hit it! This is a honey marten, also known as a yellow-throated marten. Its skin is worthless and its meat is unpalatable. It’s useless to hit it. It doesn’t hurt people much!”

Hearing that it was useless and there was not much risk of hurting anyone, the driver Xiao Li put down the gun.

After Yue Feng’s interception, the yellow-throated marten quickly ran away, but Ye Xiaojun also stopped taking it lightly.

At that distance just now, if a big wild boar jumped out from the snow pile, it would be knocked to the ground with a shake of its head, and there would be no way for him to escape.

“There are animals hiding in this snow cave! Is this honey dog ​​hunting?” Zhang Hongbin asked with a frown.

Yue Feng nodded: “It’s very likely! Observe the surroundings to see if there are any traces of roe deer or other animals! Yellow-throated martens are very smart and will use the terrain to hide and get close to their prey to launch a sneak attack!”

The next few people looked around and found that what Yue Feng said was true. Not far from the place where the yellow-throated marten had been hiding, Yue Feng found several fresh footprints.

The footprints of this roe deer are very recognizable in the snow, a bit like the shape of a kidney, with a round front and a slightly pointed back. Because it jumps and walks, the footprints are regularly spaced.

“This way!” Yue Feng called out, and the other three people immediately gathered around.

“This should be a small group of three or four roe deer. The traces are very fresh. Let’s follow the traces and look for them! Master Li, give me the gun. I’ll lead the way!”

The driver Xiao Li glanced at Zhang Hongbin, and after the other nodded, Xiao Li handed the 56 in his hand to Yue Feng.

Yue Feng took the gun, and the first thing he did was to check the number of bullets in the magazine. After checking the gun quickly, he held it in his hand and walked in front, following the footprints.

After following the footprints for about half an hour, Yue Feng and a few others successfully climbed over a shady slope in Forest Area No. 8 and stood on a ridge with the best view around.

Yue Feng, standing on the ridge, did not move his feet immediately, but looked around and observed.

As soon as he looked, he found the traces of his prey.

About seventy or eighty meters away on the sunny side of the slope, four roe deer, two large and two small, were gnawing on the tender branches exposed outside the snow.

Upon discovering the traces of prey, Yue Feng immediately entered combat status. In order to show Ye Xiaojun on the spot how the black eagle hunted roe deer, he hung the gun on his shoulder, then whistled and ran towards the roe deer in the distance.

The other three people looked a little confused when seeing this scene.

Yue Feng just rushed up like that?
Can a whistle eagle come down to hunt roe deer?

No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit weird. This way of hunting wild animals is really something I have never heard of or seen before!

However, Yue Feng had gone up the mountain frequently before and had put in a lot of effort in training the Big Black Eagle. Upon hearing Yue Feng’s whistle, the Big Black Eagle in the sky immediately used its sharp eagle eyes to scan the sparsely logged area below.

The four roe deer in front are running, and their owner is chasing them from behind! Blowing the whistle must be asking them to come down and help with the work!

Thus, Ye Xiaojun and his three companions who followed Yue Feng witnessed the most magnificent Saker Falcon swooping down to hunt in their lives so far.

The big black eagle swooped down from a height of 100 meters, rushing down at high speed with a buzzing low-frequency roar. When it was still more than ten meters away, it had already locked onto the sturdy big male roe deer running in front.

Attack position: the back of the roe deer’s head behind its ears.

Attack method: high-speed diving eagle attack.

Whoosh!
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the big black eagle swooped down at high speed and kicked the roe deer accurately on the back of the head.

The roe deer, which was in the process of escaping, was kicked by the black eagle and staggered.

The super-high-speed dive seemed to have given the roe deer a concussion. Although it did not fall down immediately, its walk began to stagger.

In less than two seconds, the big black eagle soared into the sky by inertia and rose to a height of about 20 meters again. With the same formula and the same taste, another kick!
Although this kick was not as damaging as the first one, it was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The roe deer froze instantly after being kicked for the second time and fell headfirst into a pile of snow. Soon blood flowed out of its ears, staining the nearby snow red.

The big black eagle completed the mission successfully, spread its wings and tail, turned around in the air and landed steadily. It grabbed the roe deer’s head with its two claws, stood firmly on the head of its prey, and cried out loudly.

quack quack quack

The tone of this voice is different from the previous one of acting coquettishly and begging for food. It seems to be venting the excitement after hunting. The tone of the voice is sharper, and it no longer looks as cute as it did at home not long ago.

“Good! Great kick!!!”

Yue Feng was also an eyewitness, and seeing how efficiently Black Hawk worked, he couldn’t help but cheer loudly.

Ye Xiaojun and the other two, who were a beat slower than the others, seemed petrified at this moment, and it took them at least five seconds to recover from the huge shock.

“This big black eagle weighs at most four kilograms, but it can actually hunt an adult roe deer. This… this…” Zhang Hongbin thought for a long time and couldn’t find a suitable word to describe his current feelings.

“Awesome, really awesome! The eagle kicked such a big roe deer to death with just two kicks!”

Ye Xiaojun kept replaying the scene he had just seen in his mind. He felt his heartbeat quicken, his breathing deepen, and he couldn’t calm down for a long time.

“Come here! The battle is over!!!”

Yue Feng lowered his head and pulled out the leg gouge from his calf, and cut a hole in the neck of the male roe deer, whose fur had turned a little blue, and then held the roe deer upside down to bleed it. The big black eagle had long been accustomed to the way its master handled the prey, and jumped from the roe deer’s head to the snow next to it, patiently waiting for its master to reward it.

By the time Ye Xiaojun and the other two reached the roe deer, Yue Feng had already drained most of the blood of the prey.

After bleeding, Yue Feng’s next step was to open the roe deer’s abdomen. He used a leg splinter to cut open the roe deer’s abdominal cavity from top to bottom, and then skillfully took out all the internal organs.

Seeing the hot and delicious offal, the big black eagle next to it became excited and flapped its wings again and started cackling.

“Okay, okay, stop shouting. I’ll continue to make you dinner!” Yue Feng said as he found the roe deer’s heart from its internal organs. He grabbed a handful of it and squeezed out the blood. Then he used a knife to cut off the whole heart, cut it into slices, and fed it to the big black eagle.

As the number one contributor, the big black eagle took the fresh roe deer heart meat from Yue Feng’s hand and swallowed it into his stomach bite by bite. The crop on his chest soon swelled up.

The big black eagle was about 70% full and had eaten the entire roe deer heart. Then Yue Feng grabbed a handful of snow foam and wiped his hands, ending the feeding.

“Okay, okay, that’s all. You can eat the rest when you get home!” Yue Feng put away his leg plugs and whispered to Big Black Hawk.

The big black eagle was about 70% full. After hearing its owner say that was all, it stopped begging for food, lowered its head and wiped its mouth in the snow foam, then lay down in the snow like an old hen taking a dust bath, giving its feathers a live snow bath. The scattered dust on its feathers rolled in the snow foam, and then it got up and shook off a few times, becoming shiny and bright again.

“This is a big roe deer, weighing at least 80 or 90 kilograms. You can take it with you when you go back!” Yue Feng said with a smile.

“You eagle are amazing! You can kill such a big roe deer! Awesome! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was bragging if someone had told me!
Can you tell me what kind of eagle you have? I will try to get one even if it costs my dad a lot of money!”

Ye Xiaojun gave Yue Feng a thumbs up for the third time. While speaking, his eyes were still fixed on the big black eagle.

Yue Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly: “This eagle is not something you can get just because you want to! This is a one-year-old gyrfalcon! In ancient times, it was called a Gyrfalcon!”

“Gadfly? Aren’t all Gadflies white and reed-colored? I saw a scroll from the Qing Dynasty at my dad’s colleague’s house. It looks a bit similar, but the colors don’t match.”

When he heard the word “Haker Saker Falcon”, the information in Ye Xiaojun’s memory was triggered, and the impression of the scroll he had seen before emerged in his mind.

Yue Feng was no longer holding back and said calmly, “In nature, there is a phenomenon where genetic mutations cause animals to change color, either to black or white!
For example, the pure white swallow and the pure black leopard are all color changes caused by this genetic mutation!

This big black eagle, if I’m not mistaken, is a rare naturally mutated black gyrfalcon!”

Wow, the Saker Falcon is rare enough, and the one in Yue Feng’s hand is actually a rare natural mutation, a pure black individual.

This probability is stacked on top of the probability, and it is a rare treasure in the entire ethnic group. Even if Ye Xiaojun really uses his father’s connections and mobilizes relevant resources, he can’t get it immediately if he wants to.

What’s more, even if they really succeeded in getting it, given the current status of raptor domestication at this point in time, the falconry training method of hunting has not yet been developed.

To exaggerate a little, except Yue Feng, the cheating player who has lived a second life, no one can train Eagle to this level.

“Shit!! That’s bullshit!”

After listening to Yue Feng’s explanation, Ye Xiaojun felt a sense of powerlessness rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. The boiling blood was slowly cooled down by the cruel reality.

“If you live in Yanjing, this thing is actually useless! There are fewer mountains and forests there, and even fewer prey. There are no such good resources as our Changbai Mountain! Even if you really catch one, you can only catch a rabbit or something when you bring it back. It’s not practical!” Yue Feng added.

There is nothing wrong with what he said. There are mountains in the capital as well, but in terms of wildlife resources, they are definitely not comparable to those in the Northeast.

“Okay, Xiaojun, today you have met my brother. When you are on vacation again and want to have fun, just come to the Northeast and Xiaofeng and I will host you, right, Xiaofeng!!”

Zhang Hongbin hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying something and winking at Yue Feng.

Yue Feng understood: “Brother Zhang is right! If you want to play these again, come and wait until my dogs are ready. Then we can go up the mountain to hunt dogs together. The eagle will also give me a signal. By then, we can hunt not only roe deer, but also wild boars and blind bears!”

“You can even report news! How many other things can an eagle like you do? This is too unbelievable!”

Ye Xiaojun felt a little numb. Today at Yue Feng, he saw too many things beyond his understanding, which greatly broadened his horizons and cognition.

Yue Feng spread his hands: “That’s all, this is all I know for now! I’ve only had this big Black Hawk for over a month, and I haven’t trained it yet, so I’ll just have to make do with it!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll definitely come back to see you next time I’m on vacation! I love this thing, but I don’t have time to play with it even if I get it back. Just listen to others’ advice and have a full meal. Forget it! Let’s go back. Leave me the phone number of your village office so we can contact each other if anything happens!”

“Row!”

In this way, Xiao Li dragged the roe deer and followed behind. The four of them returned along the same route and came to where the car was parked. They got in the car and stuffed the prey under the back seat. They went down the mountain steadily and once again arrived at the door of Yue Feng’s house in Xing’an Village.

When they came down the mountain and returned home, it was already 1:40 in the afternoon. Yue Feng’s family had prepared some food to entertain the guests in advance, but the other party really didn’t have enough time, so they had to give up.

When Zhang Hongbin and Ye Xiaojun were about to leave, Yue Feng personally put an exquisite popeye-eye hat on the trained little eagle, and then handed over the cloud-patterned eagle cage sleeves sewn by his mother.

“It’s a remote place, and there aren’t many interesting things here. This hat and the big eagle sleeves were made by my mother and I. Give it to the eagle! Come to our house and play when you have time. You’re always welcome!”

Yue Feng handed the big eagle and the cage sleeves to Ye Xiaojun.

When Ye Xiaojun saw the goldfish-eye eagle hat on the little eagle’s head, he, who had been numbed by shock today, once again felt the rich heritage of the older generation of eagle hunting descendants.

This black base with red lines and a goldfish-eye screw-turn hat, buckled on the little eagle’s head, looks so spirited. Paired with the long sleeves embroidered with cloud patterns, it looks so authentic.

Even if this outfit is given to the most particular gangster, he would have to say it is exquisite!
Ye Xiaojun, who was arrogant when he first came, completely put away his arrogance and brutality after being influenced by a series of falconry culture at Yuefeng, and became down-to-earth and steady.

“No need to say anything, brother! Come to the capital city when you have time, and see how I receive you! Here’s my phone number, call me if you have anything!”

Ye Xiaojun tore a piece of paper from the cowhide notebook, wrote a string of phone numbers and handed it to Yue Feng.

“Okay, I’ll definitely trouble you if I need anything!” Yue Feng nodded.

Watching the car leave, Yue Feng, who was standing at the entrance of the alley, breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, Brother Zhang’s face was saved perfectly!
