“Is that the big blue kite next door? Why is it calling out at such a young age?” Yue Feng scratched his head and asked curiously.

Uncle Zhao was used to it: “Yes! It’s the bigger Green Kites!

This little eagle is very well behaved. Although it is in a cage, it is not as scared of people as the iron-backed red and the other kite. It heard the noise and asked me for food!”

“Um… let’s go take a look!!” Yue Feng immediately closed the observation window after hearing this, and turned to the cage of the Great Green Kitten next door.

Whether it is a Great Green Kitten or a Red Ironback, the cage size is the same. Compared with the Red Ironback, which is so big, the Great Green Kitten seems much more spacious in a single room.

Yue Feng opened the observation window and took a look inside. He stared into the eyes of the Great Green Kites in the cage and had a close encounter with them.

What Uncle Zhao said was true. This guy was not afraid of people. At this moment, he was standing on the feeding platform next to the observation window, tilting his head and looking at Yue Feng.

“Quack quack!”

After seeing Yue Feng, the Great Green Kitten cackled a few times and flapped its wings like a baby bird.

Yue Feng can’t do anything with this flap of wings.

How come the caged eagle is still like the eagle hunting every day, with no change of nature at all?

“Have you ever released this eagle before?” Yue Feng thought of a possibility and turned to ask Uncle Zhao.

“Ah! Every evening, after I check all the cages, I let it out. At night, when I listen to the radio, I hold it and play with it for a while!
I got up at dawn in the morning and put it back to the cage!” Uncle Zhao answered affirmatively.

Well, now the case is solved!

While in the cage, Uncle Zhao performed the cage exercises normally every day. No wonder this blue kite is not afraid of people at all.

According to its current condition, you only need to pinch off a little food during the day, and you can probably put it back when you take it out the next day.

Uncle Zhao also liked eagles. The top-quality hunting falcon with a silver head and a flowery tail that Yue Feng gave him last time was like saving the old man’s life. Since then, the old man never mentioned asking Yue Feng to get him an eagle to play with again.

Yue Feng is a careless guy who has never thought about this. Now, after hearing what the old man said, he feels a little uncomfortable.

“If you want to play with hawks, then don’t bother with Guqiu the kite! Pick a pair of gyrfalcon chicks we hatched in the spring and play with them when you’re not busy in the mountains!” Yue Feng said without any pity.

“This… aren’t you keeping it as a breeding bird? There shouldn’t be any harm in taking it out of the cage and fiddling with it?” There was some surprise in Uncle Zhao’s eyes when he heard Yue Feng say that.

The old man really liked eagles from the bottom of his heart, but he never mentioned the matter of these chicks to Yue Feng.

If Xiao Tao asked Yue Feng to raise a young eagle for fun, Yue Feng would definitely not give it to him. However, if the old man liked it and wanted to start training it seriously, Yue Feng would be relieved.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “Hahaha, what impact can it have!

The more activity this thing has every day, the better its physical fitness and resistance will be. Keeping it in a cage is the worst choice!

I didn’t let you train them because I was afraid it would take too much energy!

Come on, let’s not look at this big blue kite anymore. I’ll help you pick out a pair of chicks!

The temperature is starting to get cooler in the morning and evening. If we start tinkering with it now, by the time the leaves start to grow, maybe our hunting team will have two pairs of main falcons!”

“That old man won’t be polite to you! He will choose this pair of white eagles to start training!

I feel that the female white eagle is smarter than its other brothers and sisters!”

After hearing Yue Feng’s words, the old man’s eyes suddenly became more lively, and even the corners of his mouth curled up.

“Okay, pick whichever one you like! We have our own eagle, so we have the final say!” Yue Feng agreed without hesitation.

Soon, Uncle Zhao brought Yue Feng to the separate cage where the young gyrfalcons stayed.

These gyrfalcon chicks were double-marked by Yue Feng himself from the moment they hatched and opened their eyes. They have been in contact with people since they were young, so even when they are kept alone in cages, they are not as afraid of people as wild eagles.

After the observation hole of the cage was opened, the white female gyrfalcon happily jumped from the falcon stand to the platform next to the feeding port, lowered its head and looked at Yue Feng outside.

stop!!

Yue Feng blew a whistle that he had recognized when the eaglet just left the nest, and the white gyrfalcon, which had been a little wary a second ago, suddenly became clearer.

quack quack quack

Soon the little guy recognized Yue Feng, and his feathers fluffed up and he clucked like an old hen.

“Hey, look, sir, this eagle still remembers the whistle reflex when I blew to feed it when it was just learning to fly!

This eagle really has a good memory. It has been on the mountain for a month and a half!” Yue Feng said with a grin.

“Well! I feel this eagle is the smartest among the five eaglets! When I feed it every day, I call it Dabai and it will respond! Dabai!!”

“Quack quack!”

While talking, Uncle Zhao called out “Dabai”, and the white gyrfalcon immediately lowered its head and raised its tail, looking up at Uncle Zhao. “Okay, when I come up again tomorrow, I’ll bring the training hat and bait gloves and other equipment, and then we’ll give this pair of white gyrfalcons a special treatment!” Yue Feng looked at the gyrfalcon chicks a few more times and made a decision.

“Yeah, but no matter how rare it is, you need to give me some advice on how to train this young thing. You know a lot about this thing, but I only know a little bit, not up to standard!”

When it comes to training young eagles, Uncle Zhao becomes unusually humble.

“Okay! Dear young eagle, the training won’t be too difficult. As long as you build up your physical fitness, you will be able to learn to fly and follow in no time.

If you really can’t learn it, the worst that can happen is that you can stay with the parent bird for a few days, and then take it with you to the mountains, and learn from its parents on the spot. You will eventually learn it!”

“Okay! Remember to bring your stuff with you when you go up the mountain tomorrow!
The old man was just feeling bored after taking care of the animals, and if he brought the eagle along, his days would be much more fulfilling!”

“Hey, when it snows, if you’re willing to go up the mountain, we can go hunting together!
Now we have a tractor at home, as well as a military motorcycle tricycle, so we can take the hunting team to a distant place without worrying about the distance! “

“We’ll talk about it later!!! I’ll take you to the sable’s cage to have a look!”

“OK!”

……

For more than an hour, Yue Feng and the old man walked around the breeding area.

Although Uncle Zhao has a rough appearance and a somewhat peculiar personality, he is very good at taking care of the small animals on the farm.

All the cages were kept clean and tidy. No matter whether they were eagles, sables, musk deer or sika deer, they were all kept in good health and Yue Feng didn’t have to worry about anything.

At around ten o’clock in the morning, Yue Feng moved all the supplies he had brought up the mountain off the tricycle, and also left the four wolf-blooded cubs on the mountain.

According to Yue Feng’s idea, these four dogs should stay close to Coal Ball, and when they grow up, they can go hunting in the mountains together. When he has nothing to do, the dogs can be kept in the mountains, and the old man can take them out for a walk, which is better than tying them up in the yard to guard the door.

After arranging matters at the breeding farm on the mountain, Yue Feng said goodbye to Uncle Zhao and rode his motorcycle down the mountain. He stayed at home for a while. It was almost eleven o’clock near lunchtime when Xiao Tao and the three brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu came to call Yue Feng.

It’s time to go to Brother Zhao Hongbo’s house for dinner, as we agreed this morning.

For Yue Feng, this kind of dining business, where people are carried in a fancy sedan chair, is just a way of showing support.

Before leaving home, Yue Feng took a five-jin bottle of leopard bone wine from the kang cabinet, and the brothers strolled to Zhao Hongbo’s house.

Zhao Hongbo’s house has been very lively all morning today.

There is less than a month left until the autumn harvest, and every household in the village has to prepare some meat or other food in advance to provide food for the strong laborers working during the harvest.

Compared with so many villagers in Xing’an Village, the thousands of pounds of wild boar meat sold in front of Yuefeng are not much for each household.

Many people who were slow to hear the news and missed the chance to buy wild boar meat came here. Today, they heard that Zhao Hongbo’s family was also selling wild boar meat at a low price, so they naturally came to buy some in advance.

In addition to the villagers who were cutting the meat, there were also many relatives and friends in the village who had a good relationship with the Zhao family and helped at home.

Uncle Zhao has a very high reputation in the village. Now his eldest son helps the villagers to guard the farmers at night and sells wild boars at home. Friends and relatives who hear the news also come to help.

In addition, the brothers from the hunting team make up another part of the personnel.

It was time for dinner. No matter if they were there to help or to enjoy the meal, they all had to be entertained. Brother Zhao Hongbo and his wife, as well as several sisters-in-law from next door, had already prepared the pig-killing dish for lunch.

Yue Feng and his brothers Xiao Tao walked in holding a jar of wine and were seen by Zhao Hongbo immediately.

“Xiaofeng is here! I asked you to come and eat the pig-killing meal, but why did you bring wine with you? You’re not here with your brother!” Zhao Hongbo came over and said with a smile.

“Hey, how can that be possible? If you are really an outsider, I won’t come here! This is the wine made from the leopard bones of the leopard I killed last winter.

In the past few days, our temporary hunting team has to go to the tree nest to guard the night. It’s cool in the second half of the night, so everyone should drink a little, it’s good for the body! “

“Leopard bone wine! Then I won’t be polite with you, let’s all try it together at noon! Come in quickly, there are a few more dishes that are almost ready, drink some tea first and then start the meal!”

“Okay, if there’s anything you need help with, you can always call me!”

“There’s no shortage of people working in the kitchen. You go to bed first, and I’ll follow you!”

“Well, then it’s up to you!”

……

Soon, the four Yue Feng brothers were arranged to sleep on the kang in the east room. The other acquaintances who were on night duty in the other tree holes also arrived. The only thing missing was the three people from Zhang Junhong’s hunting team.

Now everyone in the room were comrades on the same front, and the atmosphere was quite good. After Yue Feng entered the room, there was some jokes and greetings, and he soon sat down and drank tea.

After a while, Zhang Junhong and two people from the hunting team also entered the house, and all the hunters of the Autumn Wind Operation in Xing’an Village had arrived.

After Zhao Hongbo and his wife brought all the dishes to the table, Yue Feng felt that the time was almost right and cleared his throat.

“Brother Hongbo has finished his work, and now we are all here. Before everyone starts drinking, let me tell you something!!!” (End of this chapter)
