“Laosan! Are you sure that the one that ran away last night was a blind bear? Are you sure?” Zhou Yuanchao asked with shining eyes after listening to Liu Laosan’s description.

“Sure! Xiao Qin and I are here. When I was shooting, Xiao Qin was shining a flashlight at me! When he stood up, he was almost as tall as a human being. He was covered with black hair, and his eyes were like small lanterns!” Liu Laosan said very affirmatively.

“The 56 rifle in the village office is in your hands, right?” Zhou Yuanchao nodded and continued to ask.

“Here it is! Besides the gun, there are also forty rounds of bullets!”

“Okay, go home and prepare your guns and bullets, and we’ll meet at the river outside the village! Let’s go chase that injured bear! By the way, don’t tell anyone about this?” Zhou Yuanchao suggested after getting confirmed information.

“Why don’t you just come back home with me? Why are we gathering outside the village like a spy meeting? By the way, why don’t you call the rest of your hunting team to come along? Can we do it together?” Liu Laosan continued to ask.

Zhou Yuanchao said with a wavering look in his eyes: “This is for your own good, after all, the guns and bullets belong to the village!

You were also present when the secretary and I had an affair. We can’t make this too public. If it gets out, it won’t be good for you!

I only have a barreled gun in my hand. If I go up the mountain without a dog, I won’t have any support if I encounter a blind bear!
You are the only one who found me about this matter. If it were someone else, I would definitely not get involved!”

After Zhou Yuanchao’s explanation, Liu Laosan accepted it.

Having more people does indeed mean greater security, but the benefits received will also be less. Now he has a 56 and a half rifle, and Zhou Yuanchao is an experienced hunter with very good marksmanship and reaction. Since others are willing to help, Liu Laosan didn’t think much about it.

“Okay, I’ll go home and we’ll meet by the river later!” Liu Laosan nodded and agreed.

Watching Liu Laosan leave, Zhou Yuanchao’s eyes slowly became distracted, as if his thoughts had drifted to somewhere else.

It took him a long time to come to his senses, and he quickly went back to the house to pack his things for going up the mountain.

Half an hour later, Liu Laosan carried his gun and bullets, asked his wife to pack up the lunch they had eaten in the mountains, and walked out of the village alone along the path, heading straight for the agreed meeting place by the river.

When Liu Laosan arrived at the assembly point, he did not see Zhou Yuanchao at first. He waited patiently for a few minutes. Suddenly, he heard someone under a poplar tree opposite, whistling at him.

Liu Laosan looked up and saw that it was Zhou Yuanchao, then he immediately trotted over.

“Did anyone see me leaving the village?”

“No, I took the path out of the village, and I didn’t run into anyone so early in the morning!”

“Okay, come on, take me to the tree nest where you keep watch.”

……

On the other side, after daybreak, Xiao Tao and the three brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu split up into two groups. After going to the No. 5 tree nest, Xiao Tao walked down the mountain by himself. When Yue Feng arrived at the tree nest on his motorcycle, only the brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu were left.

After briefly understanding what happened last night, Yue Feng rode his motorcycle to several other tree holes.

There were some bloodstains on the ground in tree pit No. 5, but the two night watchmen had left. Everything was normal in the other tree pits last night. After patrolling for a week, Yue Feng and the Zhang brothers went down the mountain together.

When he returned home, Xiao Tao heard the noise of a motorcycle, so he went from his home to Yue Feng’s hometown and told Yue Feng the information he had obtained.

After hearing that the blind bear survived the disaster and ran away again, Yue Feng once again rejected Xiao Tao’s suggestion of taking the dog up the mountain to chase the bear.

It’s still the same principle. The forest is deep and the trees are dense. The risk of chasing an injured bear is not proportional to the reward. Yue Feng and his men wouldn’t be much better off with one more bear, and they can still live without one.

If he hurts someone or a dog in his greed, it would be a waste. As the leader of the hunting team, Yue Feng is responsible for everyone.

Having decided not to go bear hunting, the team was temporarily free today. The three brothers stayed up all night to catch up on sleep, while Yue Feng rode a motorcycle and went directly to the breeding farm on the mountain with the full set of equipment and tools for training young eagles that he had prepared for Uncle Zhao.

When the motorcycle arrived at the gate of the farm, the dogs in the yard started barking and whining before the door was even opened.

Soon the old man heard the noise and opened the padlock from the door.

“Good morning, uncle!” Yue Feng greeted him with a smile.

“Have you had breakfast? There’s still rice in the pot in the kitchen. If you haven’t had it, I can heat it up for you!”

“I’ve eaten! My mother steamed some braised pork buns this morning and brought some for you!!” Yue Feng patted the supplies in the side bucket.

“Come in quickly! Coal Ball, stop biting your trouser legs!!”

The old man stepped aside to make way for Yue Feng to enter the yard, and called out to Bear Cub.

Every time Yue Feng saw the bear cub, he would bring it candy. The little guy was growing up and was very greedy. When he saw Yue Feng coming, he bit his trouser leg to ask for candy. Hearing the old man’s scolding, Meiqiu reluctantly let go and followed Yue Feng’s motorcycle, moving forward happily. When Yue Feng parked the motorcycle, he came up again.

Yue Feng touched the little guy’s head, then took out a candy from his pocket and gave it to the little guy. The little guy crunched the candy into pieces and then showed a satisfied look.

“Hehe, Coal Ball is quite controllable now. He will let go of his mouth as soon as you call him!” Yue Feng said while playing with the bear cub.

“This thing is so smart, just like a child, it knows everything! Last night when I was feeding it, I missed half a spoonful. After eating, it held the food bowl and whined and refused to return to its nest. It also extorted half a cornmeal cake from me!

Three meals a day, lots of oil and water, almost changing every day, if it continues to increase at this rate, it will be at least 130 kilograms by the New Year! ! “The old man said with a smile while touching the hair on Coal Ball’s head.

“Can it grow to 130 kilograms?” Yue Feng was obviously a little unconvinced after hearing this number.

After all, it is just the beginning of autumn, and the black bear cubs only weigh about 70 or 80 kilograms. The weight gain in the first year is not too exaggerated, as it is mainly due to the development of bones and internal organs.

If your weight increases rapidly, fat will accumulate faster only after your skeleton structure is developed.

“Of course! Meiqiu was starved when he was a child, so he is not picky about what he eats, and he eats a lot!
If he continues to grow at this rate, he will probably be able to work with the dog gang next fall!”

“Let it take on the important task of taking on the challenge. Do you think it has a chance? Have you found any opportunity to do some preliminary training during this period?” Yue Feng continued to ask.

“A few days ago, I took Canglong and the others out to hunt a two-year-old wild boar and let Meiqiuer try it out!

This guy has been without a mother since he was young, so he learned many habits from other dogs. He is a little timid, but everything else is fine. When he grows up a little bit and strengthens his courage, he should be fine!!
Compared to its courage, what I am more worried about is its running speed!

The bear’s sprinting speed is not slow, but if it chases the dog gang across the hill, it is still a little slow to keep up!
I plan to wait until the leaves ring a few days later, and then take Coal Ball with me when I train Canglong and the others to adapt in advance. If the speed is increased, and then the courage and skills are strengthened, it should be possible!

After all, if we don’t go deep into the mountains, most of the areas behind our mountains will be covered by Chai Ji Dao, and we can even let the bear ride on a motorcycle!”

Uncle Zhao is indeed an expert who has been a hunter for a lifetime and can even train a red dog. He has a relatively clear understanding of Coal Ball’s temperament, performance, strengths and weaknesses. Although there is no formal training yet, there are already plans for follow-up.

Yue Feng didn’t understand these things, so he naturally wouldn’t interfere. He just waited for the old man to take charge of the operations.

“Okay, I’ll do whatever you say. If it really doesn’t meet your requirements, we can just keep it in the farm to use as a guard!
By the way, I have brought all the equipment for falcon training for you. Let’s go to the cage and dress up the pair of white eagles!” Yue Feng continued.

“You brought them? Let’s go! I haven’t fed those two eagles yet! Let’s help feed them!”

“Hey, no problem!!”

Soon, Yue Feng took out all the equipment including falconry gloves from his bag.

The eagle hat, two-opening, five-foot swivel, and lure are all fine items made by Yue Feng himself.

Uncle Zhao greeted them and went into the house. Then he took out a porcelain bowl for feeding and went to the cage with Yue Feng, carrying some prepared eagle food.

When they arrived at the cage where the young eagle was kept, Uncle Zhao put on gloves, held the meat and shouted at the feeding port. Soon, the big baby with white feathers fell into the old man’s hands.

Yue Feng opened the side door from one side and walked in with steady steps.

The young eagle remembered its master Yue Feng, so it was not too nervous when Yue Feng came near it. Yue Feng quickly put a hat on it and then carried it out of the cage.

After doing two open-legged stirrups and connecting five feet, and after all the details were in order, Yue Feng took off the hat for the little guy.

The little guy wasn’t quite used to it as he hadn’t worn a hat for a month and a half. But after all, he had received basic training before, so he quickly returned to normal.

The old man held the young white gyrfalcon in his own hands, and with his other hand he kept stroking the little guy’s back and breast, his eyes full of love.

A hunter’s love for a top-notch falcon is almost innate and unstoppable.

The old man must have felt very pained to have been able to resist asking Yue Feng for the young eagle.

Now I can hold the eagle in my hand openly. Even though I haven’t trained it yet to work in the fields, I feel so happy inside.

“If you want to make fast progress in training, the first thing is to control your weight. There is a scale on the mountain. You have to weigh yourself every day and keep records!
Once the falcon slowly flies up, its physical strength will increase with the training time. This process will take at least a month, so you must be mentally prepared!” Yue Feng reminded with a smile.

“I know this. I’ll just follow the training method of the hunting falcon last time! The little guy is quite friendly! I’ll find a more spacious place later and try to see how many meters I can shout when I call Yuan now!”

“Yes! The affinity of the double-marked falcon is much stronger than that of the wild eagle. As long as it doesn’t develop bad habits, there will be no problem with other things!
By the way, now that the eagle is out of the cage, we have to be careful of the dog and the bear cub at home.

Especially Coal Ball, this little guy is very curious and greedy, don’t treat the eagle chick as a pheasant! ! “(End of this chapter)
