Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1128 Rabbit Kicks Eagle
Da Jin and Xiao Jin landed on Wang An's two shoulders respectively, while Da Cang and Xiao Cang voluntarily landed on Wang An's left and right forearms.

To be honest, these four eagles are getting bigger and bigger, and Wang An finds them quite heavy even with them on his back.

After thinking for a moment, Wang An turned to Huang Zhong and said:
"Go and grab the gun. You can practice your shooting later."

Just as Huang Zhong was about to run towards the old house, Wang An said again:

"Don't bother with the gun barrel, just take the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. The recoil of the gun barrel is too strong, and it will be difficult for someone of your small build to handle it."

After Wang An finished speaking, he saw that Huang Zhong was stunned and a little at a loss. Only then did Wang An realize that the Type 56 semi-automatic rifles were all kept in the house and Huang Zhong could not find them.

Then Wang An said:
“Go to our room and find your sister-in-law. Tell her what I said and ask her to find you a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and two boxes of bullets.”

Huang Zhong casually agreed:
"Okay, brother."

After agreeing, Huang Zhong turned and ran into the house.

When Huang Zhong came out with the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle that looked almost as short as his own, Wang An gave a helpless twitch of his lips.

The main problem is that Huang Zhong is too small in stature, so it looks rather comical to see him wielding such a long spear.

The two walked out the door together, and Wang An said to Da Cang and Xiao Cang:

"You two, stop standing on my arm and fly away on your own."

As he spoke, Wang An raised his hand, and Da Cang and Xiao Cang took flight on their own, circling back and forth not far above Wang An's head.

Immediately afterwards, Wang An said to Da Jin and Xiao Jin:

"You two should fly there yourselves instead of always making me carry you both."

The leather straps that Wang An tied to his shoulders and arms were merely intended to provide the eagles with a temporary resting place. Unlike traditional falconers who would carry their eagles around constantly, this was absolutely impossible for Wang An.

The main point is that no matter what kind of animal it is, you can't spoil it all the time. You have to make it listen to people, instead of people doing things according to its wishes.

As for raising eagles, most people only raise one eagle, let alone four like Wang An did.

It wasn't Wang An's intention to raise four eagles; it was entirely by chance.

When Wang An first started capturing eagle chicks and stealing their eggs, he thought that if one or two eagles survived, he would be incredibly lucky, because everyone knows that eagles are very difficult to raise.

To Wang An's utter surprise, all four eagles miraculously survived and were all in good health.

It has to be said, this is a really awesome thing.

After Wang An finished speaking, he shook his shoulders twice, and Da Jin and Xiao Jin spread their wings and flew away.

Upon seeing this, Huang Zhong remarked with emotion:
"Brother, those four eagles you raised are really obedient."

As Wang An took the gun from Huang Zhong, he said with righteous indignation:
"Of course they have to obey, otherwise what's the point of keeping them?"

After a pause, Wang An, while fiddling with the gun, said:
"Come on, I'll teach you how to use this Type 56 semi-automatic rifle now. The recoil of this gun is much less than that of the barrel, so you'll be able to get some power with it." As he spoke, Wang An demonstrated to Huang Zhong, explaining everything in detail, from loading the bullet and chambering it, to switching the safety on and off, how to calibrate the gun, and what to do if the bullet jams.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong knew how to use the double-barreled shotgun and the hanging barrel technique, and the operation of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was extremely simple. Wang An taught him without much effort, and Huang Zhong learned it very quickly.

After teaching Huang Zhong, Wang An said:
"I'll teach you how to disassemble the gun when we get back. After that, whenever you have free time, take the gun apart and clean it properly. Let me tell you, that's how guns are. If you dare to mess with them, they'll mess with you when it matters. Think about it, what if a wild boar is about to run you over, and then your gun jams? What would you do then?"

And so, Wang An went on and on about a lot of gun-related common sense and precautions to Huang Zhong.

As the two walked and chatted, Wang An noticed a rabbit running frantically in the distance. So, Wang An quickly put his fingers in his mouth and whistled a few times.

The four eagles landed instantly upon hearing the whistle. Wang An pointed at the rabbit, followed by two more rapid whistles.

As they descended, Da Jin and Xiao Jin flapped their wings a few times, suddenly rising into the air and shooting towards the rabbit like an arrow.

Seeing this, Da Cang and Xiao Cang, although flying in the direction of the rabbit, clearly did not show any tendency to descend.

In the blink of an eye, it felt like only a few seconds had passed. The two golden eagles, Da Jin and Xiao Jin, caught up with the rabbit, while the two hawks, Da Cang and Xiao Cang, circled above the rabbit, clearly observing the situation below and ready to strike at any moment.

To be honest, even Wang An didn't expect that these four eagles had learned to fight as a team at some point.

The main reason is that Wang An has been busy with the autumn harvest during this period. Apart from feeding these four eagles, he hasn't paid much attention to them. It's not that he didn't want to, but he simply didn't have the time.

As soon as the two golden eagles caught up with the rabbit, the big golden eagle stretched out its two powerful talons and slashed down at the rabbit's head.

When eagles hunt, they usually grab the prey's head first. However, this doesn't mean that the eagle wants to kill the prey instantly, but rather that it wants to blind the prey first.

The exact reason why an eagle blinds its prey is unknown.

Although Da Jin was fast, Rabbit knew he was in big trouble, so he was not slow either. He suddenly stopped and rushed off in another direction.

Big Gold missed its first attack, so it spread its wings to slow itself down, while Little Gold immediately filled in, stretching out its sharp claws to grab at the rabbit.

Just as Xiao Jin's paw was about to touch the rabbit's head, the rabbit suddenly braced itself on its front legs and kicked out with its two powerful hind legs towards Xiao Jin.

This scene truly startled Wang An, because it was a very rare but classic move: "Rabbit Kicks Eagle".

The reason it is so rare is that rabbits are very timid animals; even when they are eating grass, they have to look around frequently.

At the slightest sound, they would be terrified and run far away. Upon seeing an eagle, they would only think of escaping for their lives and would not dare to resist.

But this rabbit in front of us dares to fight with an eagle. Although it was only trying to save its life, it was still quite brave.

Wang An concluded that the rabbit must be quite old, because only older rabbits know that only by daring to resist can they increase their chances of survival.

Little Gold was kicked squarely by the rabbit's leg and flew up a meter.
