As we have mentioned before, the goshawk’s claws are divided into four fingers: the large ring finger which is the shortest and thickest but has the thickest and sharpest nails; the relatively slender middle finger; the side finger with the least power; and the thick hind claw which grows in opposite directions.

Among these four fingers, the big ring is like a human’s thumb, and cooperates with the back hook to bear the main killing power of the claw.

The large eagle claws have blades on both sides and an arc shape on one side. There is an obvious blood groove on the bladed side. If it scratches a rabbit, it can break through the defense, let alone a finger without any protection.

“Oh my god, what the hell, I never got hurt when I went up the mountain to hunt pigs and bears, but I got hurt when I was training an eagle!”

Xiao Tao felt a little uncomfortable as he looked at his finger which was still bleeding.

Yue Feng was a little speechless, and complained: “You are a bit of a tiger kid!!! I told you to touch it, but I didn’t tell you to touch it casually. Your eagle claws are idle, but you dare to touch it casually?
At the very least, do I have to hold the two sides of the bolt tightly so that it can’t lift its claws, and then I can start?”

“Uh, let’s not talk about this for now. Find some toilet paper to wrap it up. The claws are really sharp and the blood is dripping down. I can’t stop it!”

Xiao Tao didn’t take the pain seriously, but it wasn’t a big deal if the bleeding continued.

“Wait, I’ll go into the house and get it for you!!”

Even though Yue Feng complained, he still felt sorry for his brother’s injury, so he turned around and went back into the house.

As I was walking out with the toilet paper in my hand, I saw Li Wenzhe walking slowly towards me from the corner of the guesthouse with the light bean yellow large eagle.

Speaking of which, this old Li Xunying is so lazy. Xiao Tao gets up before dawn, but this guy only gets up when he hears the wake-up call.

My son was keeping the eagle awake in the second half of the night. He was already drowsy while holding the eagle in the chair. In the second half of the night, the eagle was almost dozing off on his arm. It is hard to say how much of the mystery of this so-called keeping the eagle awake is left.

Old Li took the eagle and went out for a walk. He happened to hear Yue Feng and Xiao Tao complaining about being scratched by the eagle, so he deliberately took a detour to come and take a look.

It’s not that Li Wenzhe is so enthusiastic, but Yue Feng was not enthusiastic or respectful enough towards him after he came back yesterday. Old Li is narrow-minded and holds a grudge, so he came over when he heard the noise to watch the fun.

“What’s going on? Why is there blood?” Li Wenzhe asked with a forced smile on his face while holding the big eagle.

Yue Feng came out of the door and exchanged glances with Lao Li: “Ah, I was accidentally caught by an eagle! Uncle, how is your eagle?”

Li Wenzhe looked at the greenhorn on Xiao Tao’s arm that was staring blankly at people, and then looked at the big eagle in his own hand, whose feathers were fluffy and about 70% cooked. He felt extremely proud in his heart.

“My eagle will probably be able to land in two days! Look at the hair on its crotch, it’s all spread out! Where did you get this eagle? It’s not in great shape!!”

Li Wenzhe looked at the eagle on Xiao Tao’s arm for a few seconds and said seriously.

“Oh?? What do you mean?” Yue Feng became interested when he heard the other party mention the quality of the purple eagle.

“This eagle is an old, shabby eagle! The broken feathers on its back have all been replaced, but the breast and other parts have not been replaced much.

This kind of eagle is far inferior to me in terms of work ability and physical fitness!! “

When Yue Feng heard the words “Lao Mao Po Hua” from Li Wenzhe’s mouth, he could not hold back his anger.

A broken flower is a molting eagle, that is, after the sub-adult cub sheds its lanugo, it puts on the feathers of an adult eagle for the first time.

In the goshawk species, this type is called “broken flower” in the jargon, which means two-year hawk.

At this time, the feathers on the back fall off and turn black and gray, and the feathers on the front breast will also change from vertical stripes to horizontal stripes.

There is a very small possibility that, in an artificial breeding environment, the juvenile eagle was not properly taken care of when it molted in the cage, or it suffered serious injuries or parasites while living in the wild, resulting in extreme malnutrition. The feathers on the back were replaced, but the feathers on the breast were not completely replaced. This is called rotten feathers, also known as old feathers.

However, the purple eagle in front of him had a plain back, and its feathers did not have the golden halo pattern of a young eagle. Its breast pattern looked like that of a sub-adult eagle, and its feathers were of excellent quality. However, in the eyes of Li Wenzhe, who was a jack of all trades, they looked like old and broken feathers.

“Oh, we don’t really understand! We’re just scolding you for fun!” Yue Feng glanced at Li Wenzhe without arguing. He just nodded and didn’t refute.

Seeing that Yue Feng did not refute, Li Wenzhe, who was fond of teaching others, continued: “If I am not mistaken, you bought this eagle from outside, right?
Usually, only spring eagles caught in the spring, if not taken good care of in the summer, will molt like this! “

“Ah! It was our friend who did it, we didn’t know!”

Yue Feng gave Xiao Tao a meaningful look when he opened his mouth to defend himself, but Xiao Tao held back his rebuttal.

“Let me tell you two, this eagle is not that easy to train. Look, it got injured because of all the mess, right?

Let me tell you, this rotten flower can just be released, there is no point in training it!! Even if it is trained, it can’t do the work!

Every eagle like this has a problem! They are hungry and full, which is why their feathers are like this!”

Li Wenzhe continues to output.

Yue Feng didn’t say anything. He took some toilet paper to wipe the blood off Xiao Tao, then folded it into several layers and bandaged the injured finger.

“Let’s keep it for fun first, maybe it works after we train it, right, Xiao Tao! This is my first time training an eagle, so I don’t expect it to be very powerful!”

Xiao Tao held his breath and nodded, “Brother is right, my rotten hair can’t compare to uncle’s top-quality thick bean yellow!”

“Haha, you guys are really good at this!! Don’t wrap the wound like that, sprinkle some cigarette ash on it to stop the bleeding! The wound is deep from the eagle’s claws, otherwise it will be hard to stop the bleeding!!”

Li Wenzhe was in a very good mood and even reminded him how to stop the bleeding. “Yes! If you can’t stop it, just scatter cigarette ashes!” Yue Feng responded and tied a cotton thread around the toilet paper roll.

“You guys stay busy here, I have to go take a walk around the playground! We’ll play later!”

Li Wenzhe said hello, then walked away humming a little tune while holding the eagle.

After the other party left his sight, Xiao Tao, who had been holding back, asked, “Brother, why do you indulge this old Biden? And his old hairy bastard, he knows nothing!
He doesn’t even recognize a purple eagle, yet he’s pretending to be a big shot! This bastard must have heard that I was caught by an eagle, so he came here to watch me make fun of him! “

Yue Feng curled his lips and said, “You deserve to be caught. Who told you to be so arrogant? If you don’t learn your lesson after being caught once, you will know what you can and cannot do after being caught twice!

Jun will probably come over to have breakfast with us later. The eagle can’t move its arms, so you can only eat with your injured left hand!”

“It’s just the left hand, it’s just a minor injury. It won’t affect my meal! Damn it, I get angry when I think of the face of old Bidden just now!” Xiao Tao said indignantly.

“I forgot what I told you last time! When you go out, keep a low profile!

If you want to slap him in the face, then you should serve the Eagle well. If he still hasn’t left after the inspection, you will have plenty of opportunities to save face!”

After Yue Feng’s counseling, Xiao Tao finally came to his senses. He bared his teeth and said, “Hey, if you say so, then I won’t get angry. When the time comes, we’ll beat the falcon and it will just stare blankly!”

“show off!”

The two brothers chatted for a few more words at the door, and sure enough, Brother Jun came over.

Brother Jun was a little surprised to see Xiao Tao with a hawk on his arm and a piece of toilet paper wrapped in his left hand.

“What happened? Are you injured? Is it serious? If it’s serious, I’ll take you to the infirmary for treatment!”

“It’s okay. The eagle grabbed it and the bleeding has stopped!”

“Xiao Tao, are you planning to train this Purple Eagle?” Brother Jun looked it up and down and then asked.

“Well, my brother told me to train this Purple Eagle when I have nothing to do here! I’m challenging myself!!” Xiao Tao nodded.

“Okay, that’s good! Stop standing here, go have breakfast, and put the hawk inside!”

“No, that won’t do. Put the chair back and put the eagle on it! From today on, I won’t let go of this eagle!”

Xiao Tao stood up, carried the chair with its backrest back into the house, and soon came out again with the eagle in his hand.

“Let’s go! Eat first!!”

The three brothers strolled to the cafeteria. At this time, many soldiers were eating in the cafeteria.

Seeing Xiao Tao appear with an eagle, many people cast curious glances at him. Many people, after seeing Brother Jun sitting next to them, nodded and greeted him from a distance.

The breakfast in the cafeteria was simple, with fried dough sticks, steamed buns, rice porridge, pickles, etc. My brothers each got their own food, found a seat, and started eating leisurely.

When they were almost done eating, Yue Feng said with a smile, “How’s it going, Xiao Tao? There are natural advantages to training eagles in this unit. There are so many people, and we can show off to the eagles wherever we go!”

Xiao Tao ate with one hand a lot slower than usual, but since he had said it, he had to bite the bullet and endure it, chewing the dough sticks while saying, “It feels great!
This eagle is not very heavy. Last autumn and winter, I carried the Ironback Eagle up the mountain for most of the day. My arms have been trained for a long time!”

“Haha, great! There’s a future!” Brother Jun smiled and nodded repeatedly as he listened to Xiao Tao’s words.

After Xiao Tao, who was the slowest, had finished eating, Jun asked slowly, “What subject are we training the falcons in today?”

“Get on the scale! Record your weight and then just throw it there! At noon, add some water again!!” Yue Feng replied calmly.

“Don’t you have to put on a brave face like this big eagle?” Brother Jun was quite surprised to hear Yue Feng’s answer.

In Ye Jianjun’s opinion, training an eagle requires long-term training and hard work. This has become an inherent understanding, but he heard a completely different version from Yue Feng.

“No need! Training a falcon is different from training an eagle. The routines are different! It’s enough for it to recognize the sentinel in the first three days. It won’t be too late to take off the hat after it has had enough food.

If everything goes well with the pigeon tiger we caught last night, we can reel it in with bait in about a week!”

“A week is enough?”

“Almost! Even if I take turns with Xiao Tao to serve the Purple Eagle, I can manipulate it to about 80% of the way. If I have a good temper, I can almost get off the ground!”

“Okay, now that you’re all full, let’s go back and weigh the eagle! I brought the scale you asked for yesterday!”

“Okay, let’s go!”

Soon, the three brothers got up and ran straight to the guesthouse.

They don’t know yet that among the four falcons they brought back, there is a freak waiting to surprise everyone. (End of this chapter)
