Chapter 236 Brother Weidong, do you want to go to Sister Xueting’s parents’ home alone?
After a while, Shitou called Li Shengli and his wife over.

“Weidong, why did you think of inviting us to drink together today?” Li Shengli asked as he walked into the kitchen.

“Brother Shengli, it’s been a while since we’ve had a drink together, so I’m calling you over. Let’s have a good drink together, the four of us.”

Chen Weidong smiled.

“Let’s have a good drink. The three of us have never been your match!”

Li Shengli said.

“Haha, then Brother Shengli, you guys sit down for a while, and you can eat later.”

Chen Weidong started cooking while talking to Li Shengli.

“Shitou, Bingzi, there are tomatoes over there. If you are hungry, eat some tomatoes first!”

“Brother Weidong, we are not hungry. We are still waiting to eat the pork stewed with vermicelli you made!”

“I can’t do without you!”

“Okay, Shitou, Bingzi, bring these dishes in! Call your wife and the others in, and let’s eat!”

Chen Weidong dropped a few drops of sesame oil into the garlic-flavored beans and said with a smile.

Brother Weidong, the tomatoes haven’t been fried yet?” Bingzi pointed at the chopped tomatoes and reminded him.

“This?” Chen Weidong took out the sugar jar, scooped some sugar from it and sprinkled it on the tomatoes.

He smiled and said, “That’s great! White sugar-coated tomatoes are sweet and sour and delicious, suitable for all ages.”

There were four families with more than a dozen people, divided into two tables, one table for the women and children, and one table for Chen Weidong and his four men.

After sitting down in the room, Chen Weidong took out some wine and filled the glasses for Li Shengli and the other two.

“Weidong, when are we going to go into the mountains to hunt?”

“Yes! Brother Weidong, my hands are itching after not going into the mountains for these days.”

“I don’t think I can go into the mountains during this period. Once the house is built, I will go on a long journey.”

Chen Weidong said.

“Brother Weidong, where are you going? Are you going to Sister Xueting’s parents’ home? Sister Xueting is pregnant now, isn’t it inconvenient to go at this time~”

Bingzi asked.

“Well, yes! If your sister-in-law hadn’t suddenly found out she was pregnant, we would have gone a long time ago. But this time your sister-in-law and the child won’t go, I’ll be the only one going!”

“Brother Weidong, why did you go to Sister Xueting’s place alone? Why didn’t you wait until Sister Xueting gave birth? It’s such a long way, and you’re not familiar with the place!”

“It’s okay. I know what’s going on. I’m going to go check on her first. After all, your sister-in-law hasn’t been home for so many years. She didn’t reply to the letter I sent before the New Year. I guess she moved and didn’t receive the letter. If I don’t go check on her, she will keep it in her heart and won’t say anything. This is not good for the health of pregnant women, and dragging it out is not a solution.”

“Weidong, you must be careful on your way. I heard that there are a lot of bandits in the south,” Li Shengli said with concern.

“Don’t worry, Brother Shengli! I’m not a pushover either,” said Chen Weidong.

In his previous life, in the 1980s and 1990s, he traveled all over the country alone, and it was not entirely due to luck that he was able to survive.

“By the way, after I leave, please trouble Hongxiu and Xiaofang to take good care of you.”

“Brother Weidong, even if you don’t tell them, we will tell them.”

“it is good!”

Then the four of them talked for a while and talked about the pig farming cooperative.

Everyone has invested money and has high expectations for the pig farming cooperative.

……

The next day came in a flash. At around nine o’clock, Chen Weidong drove out the donkey cart and shouted to the dogs in the yard:
“White Tiger, Big Dragon, Second Dragon, come up!”

After a greeting, the three dogs understood what Chen Weidong meant and jumped into the car immediately.

Then Chen Weidong, Liu Xueting and the little girls waved their hands, took the dog and two golden eagles, and went to the parents’ home of Shitou’s wife Yang Hongxiu.

Chen Weidong knew that there was an old isolated peak near Yang Hongxiu’s mother’s home. This place was not far away and was most suitable for releasing golden eagles.

Laogufeng is a solitary conical mountain pillar, also known as Baitouling.
The mountain is about 700 to 800 meters above sea level. There are bare rocks on the mountain, and a steep cliff on one side.
Because there is nothing but rocks on the Old Lone Peak, and above the mountainside, it is completely bare. There are even rumors that even rabbits are unwilling to poop on the mountain, and when birds fly over the mountain, they can’t help but flap their wings faster.

Therefore, none of the hunters from the nearby villages were willing to go here.

……

When he arrived at Yang Hongxiu’s parents’ home, he said hello and explained his purpose. Yang Hongxiu’s parents were also very welcoming to Chen Weidong. After a few polite words, they tied the donkey cart in their yard.

Chen Weidong took the three dogs and two golden eagles into the mountains.

The main purpose of going into the mountains this time is to release the golden eagle.

So Li Shengli, Shitou, Bingzi and others were not invited.

I was alone, walking into the mountains with my luggage on my back.

Chen Weidong had a cowhide cape draped over his shoulders, and two golden eagles stood on his left and right.

Originally, the eagle holder was a sleeve or arm guard to allow the golden eagle to land on the forearm.

However, Chen Weidong was too lazy to hold the eagles with his hands, so a few days ago, he found a piece of cowhide and asked his wife to make a cowhide shoulder guard so that the two golden eagles could land on his shoulders.

This is also because Chen Weidong is strong enough to bear the weight of the golden eagle.

In fact, before liberation, during the feudal dynasty, those Manchu descendants who played with eagles were more particular than Chen Weidong. They had more than a dozen tools such as eagle bells, eagle swivels, eagle ladles, water hyacinths, eagle hats, sleeves, five-foot sticks, bags, etc.

Chen Weidong was walking on the mountain road. Although there were two golden eagles standing on his shoulders, Chen Weidong walked without shaking his shoulders or waist and his steps were steady.

Chen Weidong often goes into the mountains to hunt, climbing over hills and crossing ridges, and his whole body is full of tendon muscles. This is why others say that he has a waist like a dog!

Chen Weidong walked step by step. Although it seemed that he was not walking fast, in fact, his speed was not slow at all. Soon, he reached a ridge. Chen Weidong walked very fast, and the dogs followed him. In less than two hours, Chen Weidong arrived at the foot of Laogufeng Mountain.

Since we left home at nine o’clock, it was already noon when we arrived at Laogufeng. We didn’t rush up the mountain. We let the dog out first, caught some prey, and had lunch at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Weidong let the dogs move freely, and he went up the mountain alone with the two golden eagles.

Fortunately, although Lao Gufeng is made of rocks, it is not steep.

Therefore, it is not too difficult to go up the mountain.

As Chen Weidong walked up the mountain, he found that the Laogu Peak was full of rocks, and there was no covering soil at all. No wonder they said that rabbits don’t shit on Laogu Peak.

That’s not entirely true. It’s not that there is no soil at all. In some places, there is still soil covering.

However, the covering soil is not very thick, so there are no trees growing, only some weeds and at most some shrubs.

However, because there is too little such vegetation, the mountain looks bare from the foot of the mountain, and even the color of the mountain cannot be changed.

Chen Weidong was not walking slowly. For people like them who often hunted in the mountains, walking on this kind of mountain was not difficult at all. It was no different from walking on flat ground.

Soon we passed the mountainside. There was almost no vegetation to be seen after the mountainside. There was a small gravel area ahead.

Due to the long-term exposure to wind and sun, the stones on the surface of this place have become small pieces, and stones often slide down from the top. If people walk on it, they will fall down if they don’t step firmly.

It’s easy to slip, but fortunately this place is not steep, so it’s okay if you fall, otherwise it would be impossible for a human to climb up.

However, when he arrived at this place, Chen Weidong couldn’t help but slow down.

This stretch of road was difficult to walk on, and after not long, Chen Weidong’s shoes were filled with stone fragments.

Even so, Chen Weidong’s steps were still very steady. He stepped on the stones one by one. After walking for more than an hour, Chen Weidong finally reached the top of the mountain.

The scenery at the top of the mountain can only be seen by actually climbing to the top.

Looking down from the top of the old lonely peak, there is a green forest.

The entire top of the mountain is not flat, but has all kinds of strange-shaped boulders.
Carefully coming to a position about ten meters away from the cliff, Chen Weidong grabbed the two golden eagles off his shoulders.

The two golden eagles stood on his shoulders for the entire morning. Even when they reached the mountain, they refused to come down and stood very steadily.

Chen Weidong picked up a golden eagle and threw it towards the cliff with force.

This cliff is not very deep, but it is about a hundred meters high. If you don’t fly, you will really fall to death.

Chen Weidong has made a desperate move. He cannot afford to raise the two golden eagles into free-range chickens. If he fails, he will die.

After throwing one down, Chen Weidong picked up another one and threw it out with the same force.

Looking at the sky towards the cliff, waiting for a miracle to happen.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

Chen Weidong felt a little nervous.

Could it be that the two golden eagles will never be able to fly?
Although Chen Weidong heard some fragmentary reports in later generations that golden eagles learned to fly by being pushed out from cliffs, and they either learned to fly or fell to their deaths.

But he had never seen a golden eagle die from falling.

Moreover, Chen Weidong has spent a lot of energy on these two golden eagles. As long as he is at home, he never stops exercising them, and they are never short of food.

It can be said that the golden eagles he raises are stronger than wild ones.

Ga~
Just when Chen Weidong’s heart was about to sink to the bottom, an eagle’s cry was finally heard, and a golden eagle flew up from the bottom of the cliff and soared into the sky.

“it is good!”

Chen Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, a golden eagle flew up. All his efforts were not in vain.

Chen Weidong’s eyes followed the figure of the golden eagle flying in the sky.

Gah!
Another eagle’s cry was heard, and another golden eagle flew out from the cliff and flew high into the sky.

well!
Chen Weidong slapped his thigh excitedly. Although it was a bit painful, Chen Weidong didn’t care at all.

Chen Weidong lay on the stone, looking up at the sky.

Watch two golden eagles soaring in the sky.

Gah!
Ga! Ga!
As the two golden eagles flew, they made bursts of eagle cries from time to time.

This is a cry of excitement.

The golden eagle is the darling of the sky.

A golden eagle that cannot fly is no better than an old hen.

After lying down for a while, Chen Weidong got up.

It was too cold on the ground. Chen Weidong was wearing spring and autumn clothes. The temperature on the top of the mountain was completely different from that outside the mountain.

After taking another look at the golden eagle still soaring in the sky, Chen Weidong turned and went down the mountain.

By the time he reached the bottom of the mountain, the golden eagle had finally had enough.

It flew down from the sky and landed on Chen Weidong’s shoulder.

The impact of the golden eagle’s landing made Chen Weidong couldn’t help but shake his shoulders.

Although the two golden eagles were still very young, their claws were already very sharp. When they landed on Chen Weidong’s shoulders, even through the cowhide, he still felt a little painful.

“It seems that when I get home, I have to ask my wife to make the cowhide thicker!”

The two little guys stood on Chen Weidong’s shoulders, stretched out their heads, rubbed Chen Weidong’s face, and then let out another excited cry.
