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

Chapter 487: Flowers and Reeds Flying on the Grass

“If there was still suspense, it would make sense to wait a few days to be sure. Now that the suspense is gone, why wait for them?
Old Li is holding the handle of the big eagle chasing the rabbit. Even if he comes to the airport runway for actual combat evaluation, can he still catch up with the performance of our little pigeon falcon now?” Brother Jun said confidently.

Yue Feng really couldn’t refute this.

Falcons, birds of prey, hunt by circling in their natural way, and they have an innate advantage in driving birds away from airports. Choice is more important than effort. Even if Lao Li’s falconry training skills were higher, and he could play with the big eagle in his hands in many different ways, it would not change the outcome.

“Okay, since you are confident, I will prepare as usual!

In recent days, most of my attention has been focused on this pigeon falcon. As for the other big Puya, apart from the basic subjects such as recognizing the whistle, putting on the hat and recognizing the fake bait, I have not started any other training.

Judging from the feeding, the weight data has also dropped. If there is no problem with the evaluation tomorrow, I will get this Puya out as soon as possible! “

“Alright!! Feel free to do it. If you need anything, just tell me and I’ll do it for you!”

“Hey, no problem!!!”

After the actual test, both Yue Feng and Ye Jianjun had a clearer understanding of the subsequent evaluation results. The stone that had been hanging in the bottom of their hearts had fallen to the ground. When they turned around and walked back from the airport runway area, they felt their steps were a lot lighter.

The three brothers carried the two eagles and strolled to the cafeteria. At this time, most of the soldiers had finished their meals, so the cafeteria was quite empty.

The three brothers each ordered food according to their own preferences, brought it back to the table and ate while chatting. After filling their stomachs, they split up into two groups. Brother Jun went to report to the leader, while Xiao Tao and Yue Feng returned to their residence with the eagle.

“Brother, do you have any other plans for the afternoon?” After returning to the residence, Yue Feng had just put down the little pigeon tiger when Xiao Tao came over with a licking face.

“You’re thinking of releasing a purple eagle to catch rabbits?”

Yue Feng knew Xiao Tao too well. As soon as he saw him sticking out his butt, he knew what color poop he was going to poop.

“Hehe, we’re just sitting around doing nothing. Didn’t we catch anything this morning? Our General Purple Eagle has already become an eagle. We have to strike while the iron is hot and release a few more to keep the eagle safe!” Xiao Tao said with a lot of reasoning.

“Okay, if you are willing to go, I will go hawking with you in the afternoon! There is nothing else to do anyway, so let’s catch a few more rabbits. If Brother Jun needs anything, we can give a small gift to the leader. It will be a little token of our appreciation from our younger generations!” Yue Feng thought about it for a moment and readily agreed.

In this day and age, entertainment options are extremely scarce, and there isn’t even a TV or radio in the house.

Eagle Chuang’s face is already familiar to everyone, so there is no point in going to the playground to act stupid.

Xiao Tao likes to let the eagle catch rabbits, and Yue Feng is also willing to join in the fun, which is much more enjoyable than staying bored at home.

“I knew you could come with me, brother! Shall we pack up and go? We haven’t fed the purple eagle yet!”

“What the hell, drink some water before you go! It’s still a bit hot in the middle of the day!”

“Ohhh!!”

The two brothers each drank half a cup of warm water in the house, then packed up their equipment for flying hawks, mounted the Purple Eagle General and went out.

Yue Feng and Xiao Tao did not plan to continue strolling in the afternoon on the wasteland they had just waded through with Lao Li and his friends in the morning. After discussing it, the two brothers chose a larger piece of wasteland outside the north wall.

The wasteland here seemed to have been artificially tidied some time ago. There were very few bushes and tree stumps. Most of the place was covered with yellowed dead grass, which was easily knee-deep in places. The weeds were very dense.

“Brother, are you sure we are going to chase rabbits in this field? I feel like the grass is a little high, and it’s hard for the eagle to land!”

Xiao Tao looked at the hunting ground selected by Yue Feng and scratched his head uncertainly.

Yue Feng grinned and said, “Don’t worry, if I say yes, then it will definitely work!

You didn’t notice that when this purple eagle grew up, it used the method of hitting the stakes to catch its prey.

Other big eagles may not be able to work in this mountain field with knee-high weeds, but this purple eagle can do its job without any delay!

Moreover, when the grass is thick, the rabbits run slower, and these things complement each other!”

After hearing Yue Feng’s explanation, Xiao Tao felt relieved. He believed in Ying’s ability and even more in the captain’s judgment.

“Then let’s go! Be careful with your pheasant’s neck, the grass is deep here!”

Yue Feng waved his hands: “It’s okay! I have leggings on my feet and a stick in my hand, so just walk boldly!”

After a brief communication between the two brothers, they immediately started moving with sticks.

Every two steps, he would knock on the weeds beside him, and Xiao Tao would move together with the eagle three or four meters away.

In fact, in terms of the absolute density of wild rabbits in this large area of ​​wild grass and mountain, it is not necessarily more than the half-barren and half-shrubby and tree-covered area in the morning.

The reason why Yue Feng chose this side was mainly because he wanted to see the capabilities of this Purple Eagle.

There are also rabbits in places where the grass is deeper, and they are more likely to be old rabbits. Now the purple eagle’s chest is clear and its energy is strong, so even if the prey is larger, it should not be a problem.

The two brothers ran side by side for about a hundred meters when a rabbit weighing three or four pounds suddenly jumped out from a few meters away from the wooden stick in Xiao Tao’s left hand and ran wildly in the grass waves.

“Cat!” Xiao Tao roared, and immediately chased after it with the big eagle in his hand.

Yue Feng heard the call and looked in the direction, focusing all his attention on the flying posture and pursuit movements of the big eagle. He saw the Purple Eagle General chasing at a high speed close to the grass head, and soon flew near the top of the fleeing rabbit’s head.

The deeper the grass, the more it affected the rabbit’s escape. When the eagle got close to it, the rabbit could only run about ten meters away.

When General Purple Eagle approached, he immediately raised his body slightly, then turned in the air and slammed down.

What a quick and efficient way of smashing the pile.

Yue Feng even heard the muffled sound made when the purple eagle swooped down and hit the rabbit.

Wow wow wow wow!

The unfortunate rabbit’s desperate screams rang out immediately, and it was almost exactly the same as the eagle’s performance last time. The battle ended in one round, and the job was done quickly and efficiently! !

“Caught it!!!” Xiao Tao shouted, and ran towards the place where the eagle landed with his long legs.

Yue Feng followed behind slowly.

It was still the same posture, with one claw pressing on the waist and the other pinching the neck. The rabbit, weighing more than four pounds, was pinned to the ground by the eagle, unable to move.

“Did you see clearly how the eagle chased the rabbit just now? It flew high up first, then swooped down suddenly! It pinned the rabbit directly to the spot!” Yue Feng asked with a smile.

“See! This purple eagle works efficiently. The iron-backed red eagle at home is only as efficient as this one, even though it has been completely cooked.” Xiao Tao said as he pressed the rabbit under his feet.

“Yeah, this is a talent. This Purple Eagle Thief is worry-free, but I don’t want it to keep working like this in the future!”

Yue Feng nodded and told his plan.

“Is that why we chose this mountain area to release the eagle? Does this taller weed make it more difficult for the eagle to fly?”

“I guess so. The grass here is deep, so there’s a chance that an old rabbit is hiding there. If the rabbit is over five kilograms in size, the eagle won’t be able to hold it down if it tries to pinch it in this position. When it suffers a loss, it will adjust its own technique of landing its claws!” Yue Feng explained.

Xiao Tao nodded after listening and said, “Oh, I understand! I was wondering why you chose this place over other wastelands!
Let’s wait for the eagle to rest for a while, then we can continue our trek. If we are lucky, we might catch a red-haired old rabbit!”

While talking, Xiao Tao took out a knife and drained the blood from the rabbit. Then he swiftly took out the rabbit’s fresh heart, liver and lungs, and gave Ziying about one or two ounces of meat to eat.

After feeding the eagle a bite of meat, Xiao Tao covered the eagle’s claws with his sleeves and took the prey off. Then he handed it to Yue Feng from behind and stuffed it into the hunting bag.

The two brothers had no taboos. They sat down in the haystack and took a short rest with the eagle.

The purple eagle ate some fresh blood, its mouth was stained with blood, and it became even more murderous. Its eyes darted around, still looking for prey.

After resting for about twenty minutes, the purple eagle flicked its tail and slapped out a bar of water. Its feathers fluffed up and fell off, then quickly tightened again.

This was a sign that the eagle was tired after resting. Seeing this, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao stood up and continued to chase it with wooden sticks in hand.

The two brothers walked from their resting place to the end of a deep ditch, but they were unable to chase out a second rabbit.

“Damn, there shouldn’t be a lot of rabbits here, right? Look at the ground, there are rabbit poops!”

Xiao Tao was somewhat annoyed while holding the eagle. It was noon and the temperature was at least 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Yue Feng stood up straight, took out the water bottle from his pocket and took a sip of water: “In the deep grass area, there are indeed relatively few rabbits, but the ones that are there are big ones!
How far have we gone? Less than a mile! Turn around and follow the other side!

Rabbits in deep grass areas prefer to lie at the edge of the field or on the edge of the field, not necessarily in the middle of the wasteland!”

“Then keep going. I just can’t believe there isn’t a decent rabbit in such a big place! Let me drink from the kettle too!”

After drinking, Yue Feng handed the kettle to Xiao Tao. Xiao Tao took it and gulped down another big gulp. After giving it back to Yue Feng, he continued walking forward.

It’s strange to say, I kept running for another 100 or 200 meters but still didn’t find the rabbit.

If they hadn’t caught a rabbit and put it in their pocket, they would have suspected that something special was going on.

“Could it be that rabbits don’t like to eat the wild grass growing here? Why the hell is there no movement?”

As Xiao Tao walked, he hit the grass with the stick in his left hand.

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a big rabbit, whose color was very similar to the wild grass at his feet, suddenly jump out, jump half a meter high, and run wildly as if flying on the grass.

“Fuck, cat!” Xiao Tao yelled and immediately let go of the two tripods that tied the eagle in his hands.

Yue Feng also saw the escaped rabbit at the first moment, and his heart skipped a beat.

An old rabbit with spotted reeds is flying over the grass. The color of this rabbit’s fur is a bit like the yellow and white color of the reed flowers on the top of the dead grass. It is rarer than the old rabbit with red hair.

Whatever you ask for, you get it. Now comes the real challenge for General Purple Eagle. (End of this chapter)
