Yesterday, when I comforted the old man, the hateful fox was killed, and there was a chance that the young eagle could come back. Yue Feng also felt that the young eagle would not die so easily.

When I have nothing to do, I will ride my motorcycle and stroll around the surrounding roads.

I rode a motorcycle around the forest farm and whistled but received no response.

Just as they were about to go down the mountain at around four o’clock, Yue Feng whistled again casually, and suddenly heard a chirping sound in response from the woods in the distance.

Yue Feng was instantly delighted.

Milk eagle!!

Soon, Yue Feng whistled a few more times, and he saw the young goshawk with the spotted feathers of an adult goshawk chirping in response while flying quickly through the woods. In less than ten seconds, it flew towards Yue Feng.

Yue Feng immediately stretched out his arms to catch the flying eagle, and touched the eagle’s head and breast with joy on his face.

Just when he finished touching the breast, Yue Feng glanced at Shuan Ying’s awkward posture out of the corner of his eye.

Just one glance and Yue Feng’s heart sank.

On the legs of the eagle, in addition to the hand-woven foot straps by Yue Feng himself, there were holes under the two foot straps for connecting to the toad, and a small piece of cotton rope less than five centimeters long was tied to it.

The cotton rope was tied into a knot at the hole where the foot strap was connected, and the two originally independent parts were tied into a loop.

Fortunately, the two-part tripod used by experienced eagles is relatively short and the broken part is relatively short. In winter, when the leaves in the forest fall, it is not easy for the eagle to get caught when flying through the forest.

If this piece of rope was a little longer by ten or twenty centimeters, it would only be a matter of time before the young eagle wandered around in the woods and got entangled in tree branches. By then, its life would be in danger.

“Fuck! No wonder I couldn’t find you no matter how hard I looked! Was it picked up and tied up by someone?”

Yue Feng cursed softly, pulled out the leg plug from his calf, and without hesitation cut off the cotton rope on the eagle’s foot.

After cutting off the ‘shackles’, Yue Feng reached out and touched the thickness of the pectoral muscles on both sides of the dragon bone below the breast flower.

The weight of the eagle has dropped slightly, but it is still within the healthy range. After all, the time it was lost was short, and the eagle has sufficient fat reserves, so it is not a serious injury.

After a brief inspection, Yue Feng let the eagle stand on his arm, stepped on the accelerator, and went to the forest farm again to report the good news to the old man.

When they arrived at the forest farm, it was almost time for the daytime workers to get off work, so Yue Feng went to the forest ranger team’s office with the hawk on his wing.

The old man and a few other young men were on duty in the room. Diu Ying’s emotions had not yet calmed down, and Yue Lei remained silent.

But when he saw his son coming with the eagle, the light in Yue Lei’s eyes visibly brightened.

“Dad! We found the eagle! We found it in the woods over at the fork in the road!
There was a piece of cotton rope tied to his feet. He must have been caught and tied up!”

“Fuck! Half of the people in the forest farm know that the eagle is ours. How dare you catch my eagle!!”

Yue Lei stretched out his arms and carried the eagle over, cursing as he examined him.

Yue Feng shook his head: “I don’t know, I guess it was done by someone who saw you whistling to call the eagle.

The young eagle only recognizes familiar faces. It would probably fly over when it hears a whistle, and be caught and tied up before it can fly away!

Don’t bring this eagle to work if it can’t do it anymore!”

“I lost it after several nights of sleep and I will never bring it to work again!!
Do you want to leave now, or wait until we are on shift change and then take me back with you?”

“Since we’re here, let me take you back! Is Brother Guo in class today? I haven’t seen him for a while, go say hello to him!”

“He hasn’t come for his night shift yet. He’s in the dormitory at the back!”

“Then I’ll go over and take a look!”

……

Soon, Yue Feng went to the dormitory of the forest protection team from the office. He didn’t have any serious business to find Guo Jianfeng. It was just that since they were all at the forest farm, he would feel bad if he didn’t come over to say hello.

After a brief chat, I drove the old man home from get off work at Chaiji Road when it was time for the shift change.

Let’s not talk about the idle chat for now. When the time came, Yue Feng said hello and went to pick up his father Yue Lei.

This time, Yue Lei was obviously in a much better mood, and the father and son rode down the mountain slowly on the motorcycle.

Along the way, the young eagle followed the father and son around, with the motorcycle in front and the eagle chasing behind.

Chase for a while, rest on a tree branch, and then chase for a while again.

Before they knew it, they had reached the mountain pass. Yue Feng, who was driving a motorcycle sidecar at least thirty or forty meters away, heard a loud whistle.

It is not uncommon to hear people whistling on the mountain. It is just the time to get off work, and some workers who don’t want to take the train go down the mountain together. It is normal for them to move around at the foot of the mountain.

But the sound of this whistle is too similar to the tone of the Yue family calling eagles.

Yue Feng braked subconsciously and waited for Niu Yingzi to catch up.

At this time, a man dressed as a hunter, wearing a sheepskin coat and a dog-skin hat, came out from the woods beside the road.

The eagle quickly landed on Yue Lei’s arm, and Yue Feng and his father looked at the person who came out.

It’s him! !
Yue Feng’s heart subconsciously skipped a beat.

Yue Lei also recognized the man who whistled out of the woods. “Yuan Chao! It’s almost dark, where are you going? Going down the mountain to the village? If it’s on your way, sit in the back seat and let Xiao Feng give you a ride!!”

Yue Lei greeted Zhou Yuanchao politely.

Zhou Yuanchao was just whistling to call an eagle in the deep woods. The young eagle had a bronze eagle bell on its tail. The sound of the bell could be heard from far away when it flew. He whistled because he heard the sound of the young eagle’s bell.

Unexpectedly, the eagle had already been found by Yue Feng and his son, and was waiting at the side of the road for him to come out of the woods and ask him if he wanted to go home.

For a moment, Zhou Yuanchao felt a little embarrassed as if he was caught in the act of a thief.

Zhou Yuanchao glanced at the two men and pretended to be calm and said, “It’s Uncle Yue and Xiaofeng! Did you just get off work?
I have a few traps in the ditch over there, and I am just setting them up for fun! It is only a few steps away from home, so I won’t bother you any more!”

“Okay, then we’ll go down the mountain and go home first. We’ll come over for tea when we have time!”

“Hey, good!”

……

After a few brief greetings, Yue Feng shifted the gears again, stepped on the accelerator, started the motorcycle, and quickly went down the mountain.

Yue Lei is not a fool. He also heard the whistle that called the eagle just now. It was most likely aimed at the baby eagle.

So, on the way down the mountain, the old man did not let the young eagle fly freely. He held the eagle’s feet tightly in his hand and did not let go until he rode the bike back home.

“This bastard Zhou Yuanchao is becoming more and more worthless!

There is a high probability that our little eagle was caught and tied up by him!”

Yue Lei started cursing as soon as he entered the room and before he even took off his coat.

Yue Feng’s judgment is basically consistent with his father’s.

He said he had set a trap in the ditch, but Yue Feng knew that the ditch near the mountain pass was not a place to set traps to catch wild game.

It’s near the mountain pass, with the northwest wind howling. There’s no shelter from the wind and nothing to eat, so only someone would go there.

Yue Feng advised: “Catch the thief and the stolen goods. Without evidence, you can’t conclude that he did it just because someone whistled!
But if we talk behind closed doors, it’s most likely this guy’s handiwork!

Fortunately, he doesn’t know much about eagles. If the root is strong and the eagle is fed well for a few days, the eagle will really become someone else’s!”

“These young people in the Zhou family don’t know the rules. Even rabbits don’t eat grass near their burrows.

This bastard is a nuisance to the people in his own village. He will learn his lesson when he meets a tough guy and suffers a great loss!

Not to mention that he didn’t catch the eagle, even if he really caught it, I would dare to go to his house to ask for it if I saw it! I recognize the appearance of our baby eagle!”

Yue Lei was still indignant. While cursing, he was reluctant to put down the milk eagle in his arm.

In Yue Feng’s heart, Zhou Yuanchao is an extremely dangerous player.

Reason told Yue Feng that there was no need to provoke such a person without core interests, so when the old man was cursing, he did not continue to add fuel to the fire.

Yue Lei cursed a few times, and his mother Meng Yulan heard the noise and came into the house from the warehouse to ask a few questions, then he slowly calmed down.

The baby eagle was found, which put Yue Lei’s mind at ease. In the next two days, Yue Feng’s daily routine gradually returned to normal.

He would get up in the morning and take a walk in the yard. When he had nothing to do, he would take the hawk for a walk in the nearby mountain fields. Near dusk, the game caught by the eagle hunting team and Uncle Chen’s team were gathered together, and Yue Feng would ride a motorcycle to deliver the prey to the second canteen. His life would return to a leisurely and happy state.

In comparison, Qiao Muzhou has been having a pretty miserable time these days.

At the foot of the Holy Maiden Lake, Qiao Muzhou’s hunting team concentrated their firepower to kill the main force of the wolf pack that coveted the personnel and supplies in the camp.

The next morning, the group happily packed up the remaining supplies such as the hide nest and went down the mountain with the dead wolf.

There was laughter and a good atmosphere along the way, but when we were going down the mountain and passing by the Chen brothers’ snow camp, we were shocked by the cruel scene in the snow.

Four people were besieged by wolves in an organized and planned manner. The area outside the snow den was covered with blood, torn pieces of clothing and other debris.

It was very easy for a pack of more than ten wolves to eat four people. The ground was littered with the remains of the wolves.

Now, what everyone was worried about became a reality. The Chen brothers who had deserted the army were eaten by wolves and became ghosts.

If only Qiao Muzhou’s core members saw this scene, Qiao Saner and his friends would only need a glance to reach a consensus.

The mountains and forests are so vast that it won’t be long before these traces are completely wiped out by the power of nature.

By then, if they were accused of killing these people and deserting the battlefield, stealing the camp’s supplies and running away, their lives and deaths would be unknown. Even if the Chen family members filed a lawsuit in the provincial capital, there would be nothing they could do.

It’s a good thing that the theft is not pursued. It’s a confusing matter.

What’s frustrating is that among the people who followed Qiao Muzhou’s hunting team down the mountain, in addition to his die-hard friends, there are also many people with whom the relationship is not so stable.

Leaving without saying goodbye is hateful, but it is not a capital crime. Now that the remains have been discovered, whether out of morality or the team leader’s responsibility, we must gather these remains and personal belongings and send them back home.

Qiao Muzhou is not a good person at heart, but he still has to do things that are in the spotlight. He has a good reputation in the eyes of ordinary people because he pays more attention to these superficial tasks.

Once the remains were sent home, big problems arose.

When the Chen family heard that the head of the family had been eaten by wolves, half of the clan members in the village became anxious and surrounded the Qiao family. (End of this chapter)
