Chapter 313 Injury
Yue Feng carefully checked the missing feathers on Baimao’s wings and tail several times, nodded slightly, and then shook his head.

“You are nodding and shaking your head. What does that mean? Are you not recovering well?” Ye Jianjun asked softly, a little worried.

Yue Feng explained with a smile: “As long as your luck is not too bad and you spend more time, there is still a good chance that the feathers will grow back!
But now is not the molting season, and the eagle’s primary feathers have been plucked, which damages the tissue and hair follicles connecting the wing cartilage to the primary feathers.

In all likelihood, it will take one to two months or even longer for the blood scab to heal and for new feather tubes to sprout and molt!

The missing primary feathers on the tail aren’t a big problem. The tail feathers didn’t bleed, so they should heal quickly!”

“Can you raise it well? That’s fine! Since you already have a big black eagle, give me this white spear as well. I’ll buy it for you, what do you think?”

Ye Jianjun knew that Yue Feng was easy to talk to, so he decided not to beat around the bush and went straight to the point and proposed spending money to buy the eagle.

Yue Feng neither agreed nor refused, but he raised his lips slightly and explained: “Brother Jianjun, are you thinking of buying this eagle back, feeding it well and nursing it, and then training it to hunt after it recovers? Is that what you mean?”

“Yes! After all, it is a gyrfalcon, which is one of the top falcons in the world!” Ye Jianjun nodded in confirmation.

“If we hadn’t met through Brother Tiger, if you had asked for it today, I would have 100 percent asked you for a high price!

But you are Brother Tiger’s childhood friend, so I won’t fool you! This eagle, if you take it away, you probably won’t be able to play with it! I don’t want to cheat you!”

“Hmm? What do you mean you can’t do it? Can’t you train me? I can ask someone to help me train. If it doesn’t work, I can learn from you. I can even pay you to learn!”

Yue Feng shook his head again and blew the air again on the injured spot on Bai Mao’s back where he was kicked.

“The feather problem is just one of the problems. The hair follicles are torn and damaged by trauma. It should be able to recover with some time! What I’m worried about is actually this! Look at this…”

“It’s just a bruise, the wound isn’t that big, and it doesn’t look serious. It should heal slowly, right?”

Yue Feng shook his head again: “If the kick was three to five centimeters lower, it would basically be a skin injury, which is not a big problem and can be healed with some rest!

But here, the injured position on the back corresponds to the front chest, which is the eagle’s lung!

If the location of the congestion and trauma affects the eagle’s lungs and there is external trauma, it is easy to cause secondary infection!
In layman’s terms, the eagle may not die in a short period of time, but it will become out of breath if it exercises too much!

If the root cause cannot be removed, the eagle will be useless even if it can fly, as it can neither fly high nor fast!
You also heard the eagle’s cry on the way back. Compared with the cry of a big black eagle like me, White Spear’s voice was obviously a little hoarse. I suspect it has something to do with lung damage!
In addition, you can see that the eagle’s claws and nose wax have turned bright yellow, and the color of the pupils of the eyes has turned dark brown.

This shows that the youngest eagle is at least one and a half years old, which is the eagle of last spring!
This age can be confirmed from the pattern of the eagle’s breast feathers, which show the fine lines of adult feathers that have replaced the fetal hair.

The longer an eagle lives in the wild, the wilder it becomes and the more difficult it is to train.

A one and a half year old eagle is much more difficult to handle than an eagle that has only been out of the nest for a few months!
Don’t say that you can’t do it yourself. Even if I want to give it subsequent rehabilitation and training, there is no guarantee of success!
To successfully recover from such a high-intensity flight, besides doing your best, a lot of it depends on luck!!
I have said everything I need to say. If you have any more ideas now, I will not stop you. We can talk about the price!”

Ye Jianjun looked at Yue Feng’s sincere eyes and his undisguised explanation of his injuries, and fell into deep hesitation.

The reason was simple, and the injury was an objective fact before him. Yue Feng told him all the key points without reservation.

Morally speaking, Yue Feng has been very considerate and there is nothing to complain about what he did.

But should he buy it or not? Ye Jianjun was clearly undecided after hearing Yue Feng’s words.

Buy it? If you don’t know how to train or raise it, it is very likely that you will waste a lot of time, energy, money and other costs, but end up with nothing.

If you don’t buy it, you’ll give up. You may not come across this thing for many years. The rarity of the Saker Falcon has been known since the Qing Dynasty. If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when you will come across it next time.

Yue Feng was not in a hurry for the other party to make a decision. It was an unexpected gain, something that was delivered to his doorstep. No matter what the other party chose, Yue Feng would make a profit.

Just when Ye Jianjun was hesitating, Wang Hu next to him reminded him.

“Okay, Jianjun, stop hesitating. You don’t need this thing as a gift, and you don’t have much time to release hawks yourself, so why do you have to buy this white spear?

Let me tell you, we don’t need this eagle anymore. In Xiaofeng’s hands, it might still survive! If you want to come and play, let’s ask Xiaofeng to go up the mountain and play together!
If you buy it and don’t understand the ins and outs of it, you might end up killing it! Aren’t you tired of fighting with yourself all day long? “

It is said that those involved are often confused while bystanders can see things more clearly. Wang Hu’s words pulled Ye Jianjun out of his tangled emotions.

Yes, although I like eagles, I am not an eagle hunting enthusiast. I am busy with various things on weekdays and I don’t have so much time to take care of a flat-haired beast.

The reason why I wanted to own it was simply because I wanted to buy it back and show off in front of my elders and cousins.

“Huh~~~ I don’t want this eagle anymore!!” Ye Jianjun let out a long breath and made the decision to give up.

“It’s a very wise decision!” Yue Feng smiled and gave Ye Jianjun a thumbs up.

If there was no big black eagle, Yue Feng would have gotten this gyrfalcon. He would have definitely not let it go even if it died.

It’s different now. Not only was this White Spear defeated by the Big Black Hawk, but it’s still unclear whether he can fully recover from his injuries.

This thing is a bit useless to Yue Feng. It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw it away.

Since Ye Jianjun gave up the idea of ​​buying it, he might as well keep it and try to see if he can take care of it. After all, it is a rare thing.

If the White Spear can be kept alive, one black and one white, wouldn’t that be the Black and White Devils!
“Lao Hu is right. Even if I buy it back, it will most likely harm the eagle. You don’t necessarily have to own it just to appreciate it. I’d better give it to you. At least the chance of it surviving is higher!” Ye Jianjun said.

“Haha! I’m not sure either. Let’s see how it turns out!”

After chatting for a while and finalizing the ownership of the eagle, Yue Feng continued to treat the eagle’s injuries.

The blood scab on the main feathers that was pulled off needs to be disinfected, and the triangular wound on the back caused by the black eagle’s hind claws also needs to be cleaned. This cannot be taken lightly.

Fortunately, Yue Feng’s family always has iodine, alcohol cotton balls and other things at home because the dog is easily injured when going up the mountain.

In addition, the last time I went to Xiaona’s house, my father-in-law also gave my future son-in-law a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao powder.

Nowadays, Yunnan Baiyao is a rare commodity in rural Northeast China, and even if you have money you can’t find a place to buy it.

Yue Feng only used a little on the two dogs in the family that were most seriously injured, and he treasured the rest very much.

Since he planned to stay, the injury naturally had to be treated carefully. Yue Feng first cleaned the wound.

During the process of cleaning the wound, Yue Feng discovered that several hairs had penetrated deep into the wedge-shaped wound.

Upon seeing this, Yue Feng burned a sewing needle at home over a candle to disinfect it, and then carefully cleaned the inside of the triangular wound.

You don’t know what’s going on until you clean it up carefully. Once you clean it up carefully, Yue Feng and the other two are almost shocked.

Originally it looked like just an inconspicuous triangular wound, but inside the flesh there were at least four or five close-fitting hairs that were squeezed into the flesh inside the wound due to external force.

Some people may not understand what I mean by this. Let me put it another way. Have you ever seen small birds like sparrows or doves being killed by shooting steel balls with a slingshot?

The kinetic energy of the steel ball, when hitting the bird’s abdominal muscles, will bring the feathers on the surface of the body into the internal muscles of the body.

Although the speed of the Black Hawk’s full-strength dive is lower than the initial velocity of the steel ball, the principle is the same.

When the hind claws penetrate the body, they also bring in the fur close to the body and into the flesh.

If you are not careful when cleaning the wound, this not-so-serious wound will be difficult to heal, and it may even become a hole if not handled properly.

Considering that the wound is very close to the lungs, if it gets infected, even if a god comes, this white spear will be dead.

When he saw the blood stains on the feathers picked out with a needle tip, even Yue Feng himself felt a little scared.

After cleaning the wound at different angles and removing any foreign matter from inside the wound, the wound was cleaned and disinfected according to normal procedures, and then sprinkled with precious Yunnan Baiyao powder.

By the time Yue Feng had treated the injured white spear, more than half an hour had passed.

After treating the external injuries on his body, Yue Feng took out a five-foot-long toad suit and put it on Bai Mao. When everything was ready, he placed Bai Mao on the falconer where the big black eagle usually squatted.

Freed from the restraints and control of human hands, Baimao was visibly more relaxed as he stood on the falcon stand.

Its head was lowered like a criminal being arrested, and its wings were missing some primary feathers, and it also had a bit of a sword hanging from its waist.
Yue Feng pointed at Baimao’s drooping wings and said, “Did you see that? This limb has been plucked of hair and it can’t put away its sword. It must have some hidden injuries like a strain!
The eagle’s condition may be more serious than what we have seen so far!”

Now, Ye Jianjun felt completely balanced.
