Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 549 The Eagle is Lost
The journey home was very fast by car. In less than two hours, the Yuefeng hunting team, including people, dogs and many practical supplies, returned to the village.
Two cars, one big and one small, stopped in front of Yue Feng’s house. Hearing the noise, the three members of the Yue family came out from the house to greet them.
“Dad! Mom! Jingjing!” Yue Feng got out of the car and greeted everyone one by one.
“Second brother, you are back. I missed you so much!!”
Jingjing skipped to her second brother’s side and hugged Yue Feng’s thigh without hesitation.
Yue Feng bent down, grabbed his sister under the arms, and picked her up. The family’s living conditions have improved in the past year, and the youngest sister has obviously gained a lot of weight.
“Is everything going well?” Meng Yulan stood at the door, looking at her son with concern.
“Hey, everything went well! Mom, don’t stand at the door. There are a lot of supplies in the car. Let’s help unload them! I’m hungry. Can you give me a meal?”
“Okay, I’ll make you some hand-rolled noodles right now!!”
After a few words at the door, the guys quickly opened the bed panel of the Jiefang truck and started unloading the supplies.
In order to prepare for going into the mountains, the Wang family put in a lot of effort, and many of the supplies they prepared were of military grade.
These things are all good stuff. If we take the opportunity to get them now, we will be much more comfortable when Yue Feng and his hunting team go into the mountains in the future.
The three brothers helped to carry all the supplies in the truck bed into the yard. Yue Feng was even thinking about inviting the driver to come in for a drink of water and warm up, but the two soldiers said hello and left, saying that they had to hurry back.
The three brothers went into the house, and their mother went to the kitchen to cook. Yue Lei picked up the thermos and made tea for his three sons.
“Dad, is everything okay at home while we’ve been away for the past few days?” Yue Feng asked.
“Everything is basically normal. Xiaowen is at home arranging the delivery of goods and supplies to the breeding farm. Nothing has been delayed!”
“Is everything normal? What about the details? What’s going on at home recently?”
Listen to the words and the tone. Yue Lei doesn’t usually talk to his son in this tone. Yue Feng heard the difference instantly.
“Don’t you feel that something is missing in the room?” Yue Lei did not give a direct answer, but said with a somewhat disappointed tone.
“Ok?”
Yue Feng looked around and didn’t react for a moment.
“Second brother, our dad took his baby eagle into the mountains when he went to work yesterday, and it was lost! We went out to look for it all day today, but we still couldn’t find it!” The little sister next to him whispered in Yue Feng’s ear.
“The eagle is lost? That shouldn’t be possible. That baby eagle is so clingy, how could it be lost?” Yue Feng was extremely surprised after hearing what his little sister said.
Theoretically, the eagle least likely to be lost is the baby eagle, which has been raised to be as well-behaved as a puppy.
When the hunting team goes up the mountain to hunt normally, it will be taken by the brothers to release hawks, catch birds, chickens, etc. When not working, the old man will take it with him to and from get off work.
When he arrived at the forest farm, Yue Lei threw the eagle into the woods. When he got off work, he whistled and the eagle came back by itself. It worked every time.
Yue Lei poured a cup of tea for the three brothers Yue Feng, and then said a little depressed: “I can’t tell the reason. I took the eagle with me to work yesterday, and when I blew the whistle after get off work, the eagle didn’t respond.
Today I took a special day off and walked around the forest farm looking for an eagle, but I didn’t find even a single feather!
This bastard was thinking he could keep it for a few more years, but after just one year, the eagle was lost!”
Just like Yue Feng admires his own Black and White Devils, father Yue Lei also has very deep feelings for that little eagle.
There are so many working eagles at home, but only the baby eagle can sleep in his father’s room. His father doesn’t mind the dirtiness of the eagle’s poop sprayed on the door. This alone shows that the eagle is not good at sleeping.
“Could it be that he encountered a hateful fox again? The eagle is only close to those he knows, and outsiders can’t get close to him, so how could he get lost?”
After hearing what his father said, Yue Feng felt a little uneasy.
The young eagle that my grandfather had was harmed by the hateful fox.
The scientific name of the eagle owl is the eagle owl, which is the largest owl in China.
An adult eagle owl can weigh more than five kilograms. It hides during the day and comes out at night, posing a great threat to other birds of prey.
It is better during the day and does not pose much threat to other birds of prey, but at night, it becomes the most difficult night killer.
Whether it is a goshawk, a peregrine falcon, a hunter falcon or even a gyrfalcon, if it is targeted by an eagle owl at night, its life will be in danger.
“I can’t really say. Logically speaking, it wasn’t completely dark when I got off work! And I haven’t heard of any hateful foxes around the forest farm!” Yue Lei looked disappointed and was in a very low mood.
Yue Feng consoled him, “I’ll be free tomorrow, I’ll ride my motorcycle to the mountains around the forest farm and help you look for it!
How could it be such a coincidence? Maybe it was fighting with other eagles and was chased away and flew out of the forest!
This little eagle won’t rebel, don’t worry, he won’t get lost!”
After this advice, Dad Yue Lei’s mood obviously improved a lot.
Seeing that his father was not in a good mood, Yue Feng took out the remaining four stacks of Great Unity from his bag and placed them on the table.
“This is the reward the Wang family gave us for our trip into the mountains. I gave the bulk of 6,000 to Uncle Wu who led the way, and the remaining 4,000 is left!”
Yue Feng didn’t waste time, he just gave Xiao Tao one stack, Xiao Wu one stack, and Yue Feng took two stacks for himself, and divided the money on the table. Originally, he thought that Wang Chao and Ma Liang would get a share of the money, but when Yue Feng returned, the two soldiers had already returned to the team.
Yue Feng contacted Wang Hu to ask, and Brother Hu only gave a one-sentence reply, saying that just because the two of them went down the mountain overnight to deliver the letter, it was a great achievement, and they would definitely not be treated unfairly. According to his words, he estimated that they would be promoted.
Seeing the stacks of banknotes, Yue Lei’s attention was obviously diverted a little.
“The reward for entering the mountain this time is so high? Ten thousand dollars?”
“Well, the journey was smooth, except that Big Black Hawk almost got into trouble. The golden-threaded snow frog we were looking for was on the way down the mountain…”
Yue Feng mentioned again what the Eagle had done to the Toad, and Yue Lei finally came out of his distraught state.
After dividing the money that night, the brothers went home to rest. Yue Feng was a little tired after not eating or sleeping well in the mountains for so many days. After dinner, he went for a stroll at his father-in-law’s house. He came back at around nine o’clock and went to bed early.
The next morning, just after dawn, Yue Feng got up from bed and washed up on time.
Mom was already up in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for the whole family. Yue Feng got up to run some water, then took a walk around the yard.
After breakfast, Yue Feng went to the new house and pushed the motorcycle out. Carrying a gun on his back, he rode the motorcycle and took his father Yue Lei out of the village and went up the mountain along Chaiji Road.
If it was a more ordinary kite or something, I wouldn’t feel bad about losing Yue Feng, but this baby eagle is not a good choice.
This is Dad’s favorite, and it carries his thoughts for Grandpa. As a son, Yue Feng must do his best to help Dad find the eagle.
Along the way, Yue Feng blew a whistle after riding a short distance. When he was training eagles, the whistle was the command to call the eagle.
If there are any milk eagles around, I can’t say how many there are, but within a radius of three to five hundred meters, the milk eagle will definitely come back after hearing the whistle of its master.
The father and son rode a motorcycle tricycle up the mountain, starting from the mountain path leading into the mountain, and followed the Chaiji Road all the way to the forest farm station. They whistled countless times, but there was no response from the baby eagle.
Could it be that something really happened and it was ruined?
The closer Yue Feng got to the forest farm, the more he wondered in his heart. He kept thinking about the possible situations.
The goshawk, a forest-dwelling bird of prey, has almost no natural enemies in the wild during the day, and its only natural enemy is humans.
But apart from its own acquaintances, outsiders cannot get close to it, so there is no reason for anything to go wrong.
“How about I ask Xiao Guo for a day off, and you give me a ride today, and we can go wandering around the mountains for a day?”
When they arrived at the gate of the forest farm, Yue Lei was still worried and couldn’t help but make a suggestion to his son.
Yue Feng shook his head: “It doesn’t matter if we are alone or with someone else! Just go to work and I’ll walk around and tell you when I have any news!”
“Okay then, I’m going to work! If you’re still in the mountains at noon, come to the forest farm canteen for lunch!”
“OK!”
Yue Feng watched his father enter the side door of the forest farm, looking back every few steps, then stepped on the accelerator and continued driving forward.
Yue Feng was quite familiar with the terrain around the forest farm. Yue Lei had already walked around the surrounding area yesterday, and now Yue Feng had no plans to continue wandering around.
When Master Zhao Dashan was teaching Yue Feng how to set a trap, he once said that one should think about the problem with an animal’s mindset.
This kind of logic of empathy can also be applied to Yue Feng’s search for the eagle now.
What factors might have caused the baby eagle to be unable to reunite with its owner and go missing?
Loyalty is definitely not a problem, there is no such thing as being anti-sex and afraid of people flying away.
Common sense reasoning leads to only a few possible results.
Otherwise, they may have been harmed by humans, natural enemies, or encountered special stimuli and flew away from a certain range around the forest farm.
If the eagle is killed, there will definitely be traces left behind, whether it is a corpse or feather remains, etc. If you want to complete the task, you must see the eagle alive or dead.
If it is flying far away, then we should consider where the eagle can fly to more likely!
Thinking of this, Yue Feng drove the car a few hundred meters away and stopped on Chaiji Road. He got out of the car, grabbed a handful of snow particles and scattered them on the ground, and took a look at the wind direction in the forest.
The wind is slightly northwest.
Yue Feng thought about it for a moment, then got back on the motorcycle and drove forward for more than a mile, then turned onto a small path and continued driving forward on the downwind side.
This side had become a dilapidated path, and Yue Feng’s pace had obviously slowed down a lot, continuing to whistle as he walked.
Still no response. The mountains and fields were extremely desolate. Looking around, there was not a single living thing to be seen.
During the whole morning, Yue Feng tried every trick he could think of, but the young eagle disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead.
Something is wrong, definitely something is wrong!
Yue Feng changed direction again and drove the motorcycle from the No. 12 forest area at the back mountain to the back door of the forest farm where timber was imported.
The eagle was not found, but people had to eat. It was almost noon, and Yue Feng planned to go to the forest farm to find a friend to have a meal.
Before he even entered the door, there was a dull thud of wood falling to the ground in the backyard. In the distance, a large light brown bird that had been squatting in an inconspicuous position by the wall was stimulated by the sound, and it fluttered its wings and quickly took off.
Yue Feng’s dynamic vision was very good, but he just took a glance from a distance and felt a jolt in his heart.
This is so weird, that big guy that I just glimpsed, couldn’t it be a real hate fox? (End of this chapter)
