Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 497: Hawking in Hetan Town
“Hey! Uncle Li, what are you doing? I told you this eagle is shy, why are you getting close to it!!!”
When Xiao Tao saw Li Wenzhe approaching again, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone and expression.
“I’m not curious, just taking a look!!”
Seeing that Yue Feng did not stop Xiao Tao from complaining, Li Wenzhe knew that he had gone a bit too far. He was also afraid that he would offend Yue Feng and delay his son’s learning of falconry, so he explained awkwardly and scratched his head, which was not very hairy to begin with.
“Do you have anything else to say? Xiao Tao and I just came back and have some personal matters to deal with. If you have nothing else, let’s make an appointment another day!!”
Seeing that the other party was really ignorant, Yue Feng directly ordered him to leave.
“Okay, if you’re not free today, then tomorrow! Tomorrow night, I’ll treat you to a drink. Good wine!!”
Seeing this, Li Wenzhe once again made an invitation somewhat abruptly.
Yue Feng lives in the village, and to be honest, he has seen many people who are not very perceptive, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Li Wenzhe who can’t even see the height of his eyebrows and eyes, but still feels good about himself.
Yue Feng has already drunk Moutai at the state banquet, so this is the only thing he needs to drink. They emphasized that it was a good wine, as if Yue Feng was an alcoholic who had never seen the world and tasted good wine.
“I don’t drink! I’m so sorry, let’s talk about other things later!” Yue Feng stood up from his seat with a smile and opened the door directly.
This action was almost the same as kicking someone out. Li Wenzhe felt a little embarrassed when he saw this. He nodded repeatedly and left the house, looking back every few steps as he left Yue Feng and the others’ residence.
After Xiao Tao leaned against the window to make sure the person had gone far away, he could not help but complain: “Fuck, what kind of person is this? How come I can’t even tell the height of his eyebrows!
We are not related, and we don’t owe him anything, so why are you treating him like a dog-skin plaster!!”
Yue Feng thought deeply about the problem, smacked his teeth and muttered: “If someone is being nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!
We don’t have any other interactions. I guess he was a little interested in me because he saw me training falcons and wanted to learn about falcon training skills from us brothers! ! “
Xiao Tao nodded after hearing this: “It’s possible! This guy is not good enough. Let alone inviting him to dinner and drinks, even if he kneels down and kowtows to become his disciple, he can’t accept such a person!”
“Just send him away. If you know what’s good for you, you won’t come next time! We don’t have much in common with him, so there’s no need to offend him!”
Xiao Tao pouted: “If you know what’s good for you, just be polite and call me uncle. If you dare to be shameless, I will punish this bastard if I make you angry!!
I’ve disliked him for a long time, and I’ve been polite to him all the time, and it’s getting to the point where he has some bad habits.
Look at how uneducated he was just now. If he was born in my family and treated people like this, my father would beat him with a belt!”
“Okay, let’s continue researching where to catch this whooper swan!
The airport is definitely not the first choice. It is best to keep a distance. Otherwise, the eagle will catch prey in the sky, which will affect the takeoff and landing of aircraft at the airport! Come with me to look at this map!”
“okay!”
……
The two brothers continued to study the location of the hunting grounds for Big Black Hawk and Little White to catch swans. On the other side, Li Wenzhe returned to his room, angry at being ridiculed.
“Dad! What’s going on? Have you discussed it? Why are you back so soon!” When Li Xiaolei saw his father coming back, he immediately came up to him anxiously.
“I’m busy today and can’t make it! Let’s meet again later!” Li Wenzhe said with a stern face and a stiff tone.
“You are their uncle after all, but you didn’t even give them this little bit of face? Didn’t you mention that we should treat them to some good wine?”
Like father, like son. If a child in a family has problems, he may be the one with the least problems in the family.
When Li Xiaolei and his son went to deliver some rabbit game to their cousin’s husband the day before yesterday, the other party gave them two bottles of Beida Cang liquor before they left.
At that time, a bottle of Beida Cang was worth several dollars, and it was indeed considered a relatively presentable wine.
Both Li’s father and son felt that inviting people to dinner and drinks was not a low standard and the other party had no reason to refuse. They did not realize that Yue Feng was polite to him only because of his family education and manners, but the two of them treated him like a big shot.
“Yes, but he has something to do! Let’s talk about it tomorrow. You can go again tomorrow afternoon!”
Li Wenzhe curled his lips, poured a glass of water from the kettle on the table, and gulped down two big gulps.
Li Xiaolei nodded: “Okay! I’ll treat them as equals and go there when the time comes. I can’t be busy every day!”
……
That evening, after get off work, Brother Jun came to have dinner with Brother Yuefeng as usual.
During the meal, Yue Feng mentioned: “Brother Jun, do you have any extra plans for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
If everything is fine at the airport, Xiao Tao and I plan to take Big Black Eagle and Little White Spear out to find a suitable place for a stroll!”
“Have you found a good place?” Ye Jianjun looked up when he heard this. “I looked at the map you gave me last time. There is a riverside town close to Songjiang River about ten kilometers away from the airport. We want to try our luck there!”
“Okay! What time do you leave? I’ll arrange a car to take you there, and then I’ll pick you up in the evening!”
Yue Feng replied, “It’s better to remember the morning rather than the evening. Let’s go at six in the morning when we get back first! We should explore the route on the spot. Logically speaking, there should be more migrating swans along the main roads of the water system!”
“There is such a saying! In fact, not only swans, but other water birds and other birds also have this tendency!
Why are there so many different kinds of birds near our airport, and occasionally some water birds and wading birds lingering here and there? It’s because it’s close to us due to the Songjiang River system!
Before the approval from above comes down, you and Xiao Tao will not have any fixed tasks.
As long as the eagle at home is well taken care of, you can move freely! I will inform you in advance if there is anything! “
“Okay, I got it!
By the way, just now in the afternoon, Li Wenzhe came to my place with a few turtledoves and other birds, and arranged to treat me to dinner and drinks in the evening!
Did Lao Qian give him the confirmation that the eagles would be used to drive away birds at the airport? It has been confirmed!” Yue Feng casually mentioned what happened just now.
“There is no document from above, so I can’t say for sure, but according to the usual practice of the military, when dealing with a new project, we must first make full preparations, and then gradually cut back as appropriate!
Since this big eagle has a certain effect in driving away birds, it is likely to stay for a while!
I also talked to Lao Qian about this, and from what he said, we should find a way out for the children of our relatives in our hometown!
Li Wenzhe is already over 50 years old. Even if he stays, he will only be a temporary outsourcing employee. Maybe his son Li Xiaolei can join the army through the special channel and stay here at the airport!
I guess he took the initiative to find you to pave the way for his son! After all, they don’t have your falcon skills! “
After Jun Ge’s analysis, Yue Feng naturally understood what was going on.
He and his brother Xiao Tao were thinking about making money by hunting, and they returned to the village to live because they were relatively capable and their lives were comfortable.
If an ordinary rural child had the opportunity to stay and serve as a soldier at a military airport, it would be something he would wish for, and even his ancestors’ graves would be filled with joy.
“If he doesn’t even know how to be a human being, why does he want to learn how to train eagles? My brother won’t serve such a player!” Xiao Tao, who was standing next to him, couldn’t help but mutter when he heard this.
When Jun heard Xiao Tao muttering, he laughed: “Haha, Lao Qian’s relatives are not close to us, there is no need to laugh at them!
It’s best to respect each other and live in peace. If they go too far, just deal with them. Anyway, you and Xiao Tao don’t plan to stay here!
Old Qian can’t reach you, let alone me!”
“Okay, I got it!” Yue Feng nodded and did not continue the topic.
Let’s not talk about the normal meal and chat of the three brothers. After they had their fill, they returned to their residence and turned off the lights and went to rest early.
The next morning, after breakfast, the car arranged by Jun Ge stopped directly at the door of the guesthouse.
Today the main task was to scout and choose a suitable hunting ground, so Yue Feng did not bring much with him.
Two gyrfalcons, one black and one white, plus a hunting bag that he carries with him when he goes out to release the hawks, plus dry food for lunch, and food and water in the lunch box, that’s basically all he has.
Yue Feng did not bring all the five eagles in the room with him. He would have time to catch up on the daily flying and maintenance training when he came back in the afternoon.
After a simple packing, the two brothers carried the eagle and drove out, heading straight for the Hetan Town base they had chosen from the map.
It was a distance of more than ten kilometers, but it took less than an hour to reach the approximate area. Yue Feng took a small car and took a general tour around the area with production roads. He felt very good.
Hetan Town is located on the east side of the main river system of Songjiang River. It is actually an alluvial plain formed by years of river erosion. About one or two kilometers away from the main river channel, there are reclaimed flat farmlands everywhere.
The farmland cultivated on both sides of the river is fertile, but whether it can produce a good harvest depends more on luck.
If the year is bad and there is flooding, there may be no harvest! On the contrary, in a normal year, these plots can still harvest a lot of food.
At this moment, large tracts of farmland have completed the autumn harvest, leaving only a few piles of corn stalks and the like. Looking around, the view is quite broad.
After roughly selecting the location, Yue Feng discussed with the driver Xiao Li the time and place to meet in the afternoon. Then the car left, and Yue Feng and Xiao Tao stayed there with the two eagles.
Release falcons to catch swans is different from catching rabbits, pheasants, roe deer, etc. when swans migrate, they will form a large long line and move together like wild geese.
The flying height of this creature is much higher than that of ordinary water birds. With Yue Feng’s eyesight, he couldn’t even see the position of the swan in the sky when he heard the noise several times before.
However, Yue Feng had also considered this problem, and asked Jun Ge to help him borrow a pair of military binoculars yesterday.
If you were to come across a large flock of migrating swans today, you would certainly be able to see more details with the help of a telescope.
“Brother, what should we do next? Just wait here?” Xiao Tao asked casually while holding the small white spear in his right hand.
Yue Feng looked around and pointed to a pile of corn stalks a few hundred meters away. (End of this chapter)
