Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

On this day, Qiao Saner was playing with the last surviving Three-Year-Old Dragon Eagle at home. Sun Laosi came to Qiao Saner's house carrying a half-skinned local dog from the back seat.

"Third Master, are you busy?"

"It's Lao Si who's here! What's in his hand?"

Sun Laosi grinned: "Hehe, nothing. Yesterday, a stray dog ​​ran into the yard and I strangled it to death. I took out a back seat and brought it over to give you a meal!"

Qiao Saner: "Wow, dog meat! This is a good thing! If the dog meat rolls, even gods can't stand still! We'll roast it later, and we'll eat dog meat in the evening thanks to you!"

"No problem! I know how to make this, it's delicious! How's the eagle at home?"

"There's nothing wrong with the eagle, and it's not afraid of people. It calls from afar very promptly, but it likes to be lazy when working in the fields!
This guy doesn't know how to do it. He was really good at working in the mountains when he was first brought home. Now, he's left with only one of the three eagles!"

While speaking, Qiao Muzhou touched the tail of the Three-Year-Old Dragon Eagle, with a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in his tone.

Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Sun Laosi came closer to Qiao Muzhou and lowered his voice.

"Third Master, I just heard something unexpectedly. You have to keep it a secret for me and don't sell me out!"

"Huh? What's going on? Why are you so weird?"

"I know who might have picked up the big eagle that flew away from our house!"

"Who? You can't joke with me about this!"

"Xing'an Village, Zhou Yuanchao!!
My classmate and his family both lived in the back street, not far from each other. His wife saw him when she went to borrow a saw!
There was a brass bell tied to the eagle's tail and cowhide leggings tied around its legs! !

Since he got the eagle, Zhou Yuanchao has kept the front door of his house locked, and he has been secluded at home, never leaving the front door or the back door!"

After hearing Sun Laosi's description, Qiao Muzhou, who was leaning against the side a second ago, straightened his back instantly.

There are not many hunters who operate hawks within a radius of dozens of miles. The hawks of Yuefeng Hunting Team are used by fixed personnel and there is no news of any being lost.

The eagle that Qiao Muzhou lost, whether it was the tail bell or the cowhide leggings, could be matched with the one he lost. It was most likely the eagle that had gone missing before.

There is no established rule among hunters around Fengcheng about how to define the ownership of an eagle after it gets lost, but similar to a hunting dog, if it gets lost while working in the mountains, someone cannot claim the animal as their own if they find it.

It would be fine if the owner can't find the hound, but once the owner finds it, the hound must be returned, and at most a small gift can be given as a symbolic thank you.

The value of this eagle exceeds that of an ordinary head dog. It is definitely a huge sum of money. Qiao Muzhou couldn't sit still after hearing this information.

"Is what you said true?"

Sun Lao Si shook his head: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, so it's hard to say!
What is certain is that no one from the Yue Family Falconry Team lost an eagle. I know Mr. Chen Zhenshan. We met at the fair yesterday!"

"Fuck! It's worth going even if you're not sure. So, you go to Xiaofei's house and call him over. I'll take some people to check it out. If it's our eagle, we'll get it back no matter what!"

Sun Laosi scratched his head and said in a somewhat flattering tone: "Whether this is true or not, you can't sell me out!"

"Don't worry about that. I can tell who is doing good for me. If it is really our eagle that is found, you will be credited with a great achievement!"

"Hey, okay, then I'll go to Xiaofei's house and call him!"

……

Once the information was conveyed, we quickly got busy.

Sun Laosi went to Wang Yufei's house to look for someone, and Qiao Saner also went to Lao Ji's house to call his brothers.

In this way, the trio arrived and drove the Jiefang truck directly to Xing'an Village.

After some brief inquiries, Qiao Muzhou found Zhou Yuanchao's home.

"Is my brother Yuan Chao at home? Is there anyone at home please open the door!" Qiao Muzhou shouted a few times at the top of his voice.

Hearing the noise outside, Zhou Yuanchao, who was "retreating" in the room, suddenly came to his senses and sat up straight from his semi-lying eagle position on the edge of the kang.

Zhou Yuanchao put his ear to the window and listened quietly for a while, and found that there were people at the door, and there was more than one.

Zhou Yuanchao was definitely not going to open the door because he was feeling guilty.

However, Qiao Muzhou had obtained intelligence information and knew that just because Zhou Yuanchao had locked the door outside the house, it did not mean that there was no one in the house. Since the other party did not respond, Qiao Muzhou was not in a hurry to leave.

Locking the door should not be delayed for a while. When the children get home from school and the wife cooks, the door must be opened all the time.

Qiao Muzhou and his two brothers got in the car and waited patiently. Towards evening, Zhou Yuanchao's wife came back from working in the old lady's room and unlocked the door.

Seeing this, Qiao Muzhou immediately followed.

"Hello, is this Zhou Yuanchao's home? I'm Qiao Muzhou, and I have something to discuss with him!"

Zhou Yuanchao's wife looked at the strangers for a few seconds and said, "My boss is Zhou Yuanchao. What can I do for you? He is away on a long trip and is not at home!"

Seeing that Zhou Yuanchao's wife was not easy to talk to, Qiao Muzhou directly broke the window paper: "Are you really not at home, or are you pretending not to be at home?

My eagle is lost, and someone saw him pick it up. Could it be that he is hiding? "

When Zhou Yuanchao's wife heard that they were here to take the eagle, her expression changed slightly.

Qiao Muzhou is quite a smart guy. He is good at reading people's expressions and words.

From the other person’s facial expression, we can tell that what Sun Laosi said is most likely true.

"Who is deliberately picking up trouble and gossiping? I didn't pick up an eagle at home! There is no man at home, and I am a woman. Don't come into the yard, or I will call for help!"

It is said that people from the same family tend to stick together. Zhou Yuanchao's wife is not an easy person to deal with. Seeing Wang Yufei next to Qiao Muzhou about to move forward, she immediately raised her voice.

"Fuck, you're acting like a shrew, right?" Xiao Fei was about to rush forward immediately.

Qiao Muzhou pulled Wang Yufei and said in a gentle voice, "We are all colleagues who make a living in the mountains. There is no need to make things so awkward!
Even if I pick it up, I won't let you work for nothing. You can tell your shopkeeper that I will buy it back with your money! ! "

At this moment, Zhou Yuanchao, who had not shown up all this time, pushed open the door of the north room and walked out.

"Mother, who are you yelling at the door?!"

"Boss, some strangers came to our house to look for you, saying that we found their eagle!"

"Aid North Korea? I'm Qiao Muzhou!!"

"It's Master San, come in!!"

Soon, Qiao Muzhou led his men into the north room. As expected, Zhou Yuanchao was wearing a homemade cage sleeve on his right arm, with a big eagle standing on it.

"Brother, our eagle!!"

Wang Yufei only took a glance and immediately recognized the appearance of an eagle.

Zhou Yuanchao glanced at Wang Yufei without saying anything, then looked up at Qiao Saner: "Master San, what's the matter with you coming to my house?"

Qiao Saner took a look at the eagle in Zhou Yuanchao's hand. The footrests were replaced with simple cotton thread styles, and the bell on the eagle's tail was also taken off! The symbols of belonging and identity were all tampered with.

"Aid Korea! It's not the first time we've known each other, right?" Qiao Saner asked calmly.

Zhou Yuanchao nodded calmly: "The Third Master is well-known!"

“This eagle is one of the three eagles I lost. I bought it from Eagle Village at a high price. Many people in the circle have seen it in my house!
I'm not shameless enough to ask for it for free. I'll give you a hundred dollars as food expenses. Can you return the eagle to me?
We will meet each other sooner or later, it is not worth it to ruin the relationship over an eagle!"

From Qiao Muzhou's perspective, it was not worth it to turn against him just for an eagle. It was true that he had money and connections, but he also had to have a legitimate reason for doing things, and he did not want to ruin his reputation.

But he didn't know that the person who launched the sneak attack last time was Zhou Yuanchao. Qiao Muzhou deliberately spread poison bait on the mountain to wipe out Zhou Yuanchao's gang. This was no trivial matter.

"You said you lost it, so it's you who lost it? Show me any proof you have!
I personally caught this eagle with a bamboo pole at the forest farm. I have been raising it for half a month, but I still don’t understand how it happened. How did it become the eagle you lost? "Zhou Yuanchao said calmly.

Hearing this, the hot-tempered Wang Yufei immediately opened his mouth and cursed: "Fuck, you little brat, don't be so shameless!!"

Zhou Yuanchao narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wang Yufei: "Watch your mouth, you big fool!
Third Master is my senior, I give him face, but in my eyes, you are nothing, if you keep talking nonsense, I will punish you!"

Qiao Muzhou took a deep breath and said, "Is it really going to come to that?"

"I'm not making trouble with you! I just told you that I caught the eagle myself in the mountains and I haven't trained it yet!

You came to the door and said you lost it. What proof do you have? You can't be the god of the mountain and everything belongs to you, right? "

Before he even finished saying the word "it belongs to you", Wang Yufei couldn't hold it in anymore.

He took a step forward and rushed to Zhou Yuanchao's side. Then he pulled and shoved his left knee directly under Zhou Yuanchao's crotch.

Zhou Yuanchao's body went limp instantly after being hit in the vitals.

Without waiting for him to bend, Wang Yufei grabbed the opponent's neck with his right hand and pinched Zhou Yuanchao like a chicken.

Speaking of Wang Yufei, he is definitely a player with amazing martial arts skills and extraordinary talent. He once had an amazing record of fighting a blind black bear in the mountains with just a broken-blade knife and killing the bear with only minor injuries.

Zhou Yuanchao didn't react in time and fell into a disadvantage instantly. His feet left the ground and he kept struggling. His face turned red and his eyes were full of stars from blinking.

In just a few seconds, when he was about to lose consciousness, Zhou Yuanchao's neck loosened and Wang Yufei threw him to the ground like a rag doll.

Although Zhou Yuanchao was not weak in physique, he was definitely much inferior to Wang Yufei. After being attacked, he felt severe pain in his lower body and coughed violently. He tried to struggle to get up several times but failed.

During the fight, the eagle on his arm slipped out of his hand, struggled and flew around in the cramped room, and was soon caught by Lao Ji who was standing next to him and was five feet away.

Seeing that a fight had broken out and his man was being beaten, Zhou Yuan rushed towards his wife with a kitchen knife in his hand.

Wang Yufei kicked Zhou Yuanchao's wife on the wrist, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground with a clang.

"Fuck you, don't be so shameless! I don't hit women, go away! If you keep complaining to me, I won't be polite!!"

Qiao Muzhou took out ten big unity notes from his pocket and put them on the table.

"Why bother with violence when the problem can be solved through negotiation? Keep the money, and I'll take the eagle! Xiaofei, let's go!"

The three old men opened the door with the eagle and left, and soon got in the car and left Xing'an Village. Zhou Yuanchao's wife, who was frightened, came up to her husband and said, "Yuanchao, Yuanchao, are you okay?"

While asking, he patted Zhou Yuanchao on the back.

It took a long time for Zhou Yuanchao to recover.

"Damn it, Qiao Saner, you're not going to make it well!!!" Zhou Yuanchao said with a sinister look while sitting on the ground.

"Should I go to eldest brother's house to call for help? Let's find someone to fight back! Qiao San is awesome, and we in the Zhou family are not easy to bully!" Zhou Yuan asked his wife.

"No, you help me up first. I just fell on my hip and I'm a little afraid to use all my strength! I can handle our family affairs myself!!"

"Oh, hubby, be careful!"

Soon, Zhou Yuanchao's wife helped her husband onto the kang.

Wang Yufei's sneak attack was so sudden that Zhou Yuanchao suffered a great loss. Although he held back and didn't kill him when his crotch was hit, it still swelled up.

Zhou Yuanchao was in such a state of humiliation. Not only was the eagle found and snatched away from his home, but he was also beaten. In a one-on-one situation, he had almost no power to fight back and was severely injured and lost the ability to resist.

A push, a pinch, and a throw, these three moves were enough to teach Zhou Yuanchao a lesson.

Now, the new and old grudges combined together have turned into a situation of life and death.

Zhou Yuanchao did not tell other family members about the beating he received and just swallowed it.

It seems like no one except the person involved knew it happened.

Of course, this was just an illusion on the surface. After Qiao Saner found the eagle, when everyone was having a celebratory dinner with dog meat at home in the evening, Wang Yufei was so excited when he talked about the details of the action that he was not humble at all.

That night, Sun Laosi told Xiaowen how Zhou Yuanchao had his eagle robbed and how he was beaten up by Wang Yufei.

Xiaowen knew about it, and Yue Feng naturally knew about it too. Yue Feng, who had always been thinking about how to reap the benefits of a dog-eat-dog situation, knew that this matter would not be resolved peacefully, and he felt quite relieved.

People who didn't know Zhou Yuanchao thought that he would just fight, but Yue Feng knew that this old bastard was not the kind of person who would not fight back after suffering a loss. This time, Qiao Muzhou was definitely in trouble.

I just don’t know how Zhou Yuanchao will retaliate.

Yue Feng thought that there would be new news soon, but for several days, the male eagle of Young Master Jin Long was able to do boxing dance in the outdoor yard, and there was no news about Zhou Yuanchao's revenge.

The camera then turns to the male eagle that Jin Long and Ye Xiaojun are training in shifts.

Through daily lowering of the axis, plus long periods of lifting and swinging, the golden eagle's weight gradually dropped to about 7.5 kilograms.

At this weight, a golden eagle's reaction to the feeding whistle is obviously much stronger.

After successfully completing the outdoor boxing jump exercise, at Yue Feng's instruction, Jin Long and several others carried the eagle to the market in a nearby village and began to train the golden eagle.

It is winter and the temperature outside is low. Logically, people walking in the open-air market should be in a hurry.

But ever since this beautiful golden eagle appeared at the market, it has always been surrounded by people watching the fun.

Many adults and children have seen birds of prey from a distance, but not many have seen a golden eagle up close.

After several days of high-intensity outdoor face-breaking operations, the golden eagle's vigilance towards humans has been greatly reduced.

On the 17th day after fishing, Yue Feng saw the eagle's timing and started the first training of hanging the string and calling it from a distance.

The distance of thirty meters was completed in one go with the whistle blown to fly far away. The slide flew straight and low, showing great controllability.

Thirty meters were completed and the second time it was extended to 50 meters.

It still comes as soon as the whistle is blown. After systematic training, the male eaglet has now completed the preliminary subjects of eagle training, which can be regarded as a phased victory.

After completing the 50-meter trolling course, if you are a big eagle catching rabbits, you can actually consider going out for actual combat and becoming an eagle.

But this is an eagle, not a goshawk, and it is still a long way from landing on the ground.

Birds of prey such as eagles can actually hunt with their fists if they are in terrain such as grasslands, borderlands, and deserts. They can occupy high positions and cooperate with hunting dogs or companions with driving sticks to complete the hunting task.

However, there are no such objective conditions in Changbai Mountain. In addition, after Yue Feng communicated with Jin Long, Young Master Jin still prefers the style of hunting and following like Yue Feng.

Therefore, the next training will require the use of the old equipment for training falcons.

Yes, you guessed it right, fake bait training!
With a solid foundation in golden eagle and a good balance of physical strength and condition, the progress of lure training is not slow. In two days, he has become familiar with the lure.

I tried it outdoors a little bit, and on my first try, this male eagle chased the bait and stayed in the air for more than ten minutes.

By the 21st day, I had successfully transitioned from a small bait plate to a large bait plate.

Looking at the silhouette of a golden eagle hovering dozens of meters above his head, waiting for the whistle to blow, Jin Long's efforts for so long finally paid off.

The eagle is coiled and well controllable.

As time went by, the golden eagle's ability to circle in the air and perform a series of actions became better and better. In the absence of obvious strong winds, it could even fly up to 150 meters in the air.

Seeing that the overall market and the following subjects have also met the expected requirements, the graduation of the Eagle into an Eagle has officially been put on the agenda.

According to Yue Feng's original plan, there should still be fire foxes roaming around in Pheasant Meadow. It should be safer to go there and help the golden eagle turn into an eagle.

However, when it came to execution, considering that the golden eagle's parents were right there, if they tried rashly, there was a certain possibility that the situation would be disturbed and out of control.

After all, it is a newly-born eagle, and the emotional foundation between humans and eagles is relatively weak, and their behavior is mostly controlled by conditioned reflexes developed through food.

If a male eagle appears in the pheasant meadow and is discovered and led away by its parents, all previous efforts will be in vain. Such a risk exists objectively and no one can afford to take the risk.

After careful consideration, Yue Feng gave up his plan to go to Pheasant Meadow to become an eagle.

Foxes are not rare prey in Changbai Mountain.

Instead of going to Pheasant Meadow, you can go somewhere else. Yue Feng asked Uncle Zhao briefly and learned from the old man that foxes were also found in the lower reaches of Luming Valley, not far to the southeast of Woniu Mountain, and there were quite a few of them, so they were not difficult to find.

After simply finalizing the destination of the mountain, the two Yue Feng brothers drove up the mountain early the next morning.

The car drove along Chaiji Road to the end, then crossed several mountain ridges and arrived at Uncle Zhao’s original territory, Woniu Mountain.

We brothers took a stroll in Uncle Zhao’s cellar, and then headed straight to the downstream of Luming Valley.

From the moment I got off the car, this male golden eagle has been hovering above my head.

Eagles have relatively long-lasting stamina and wide wings, so they consume very little energy when hovering for a long time. In terms of controllability, there is actually not much difference between a new eagle in its initial stage and the black and white spearfishing at home.

Yue Feng followed the path that Uncle Zhao told him and climbed over a ridge. The terrain in front of him suddenly became clear.

Jin Long held a wooden stick in his hand and asked curiously, "How far is it, Xiao Feng? There is no forest here, it is a meadow!"

Yue Feng grinned: "Hey! That's the meadow I'm looking for!
Foxes also exist in the forest, but the wingspan of an eagle is too wide, so even if it finds its prey in a slightly denser forest, it can't land!"

"Well, I understand the logic, but where is the fox? It's such a huge meadow, I can't even see the end at a glance!"

"Don't panic! Look for the trail first. Once you find the trail, follow the footprints to find the nest.

Foxes in this season usually stay in their dens unless they are hunting for food. If you drive them out, just blow the whistle and let the eagle do the work!

If I wasn't afraid that the eagle would catch the dog, I would have brought the blue dragon here. Without the dog, people would have to work harder!"

"How dare the male eagle catch a dog?" Jin Long frowned slightly when he heard this concern.

"Who said it? My hunting dogs are the apple of my master's eye. If they get robbed, they will have to endure it!
If you plan to use the eagle and the dog to hunt together, you can consciously cultivate the affinity between the dog and the eagle.

For example, feeding together and having close contact when nothing is wrong.

The golden eagle is very smart. Once it gets used to the dog's presence, it will gradually realize that it is its companion, and then it will cooperate with the hunting team and everything will go smoothly!"

Jin Long nodded: "Okay, I'll ask my friend to buy two good hunting dogs and try the method you suggested!"

The brothers were talking as they walked, and after about an hour, they finally found footprints of a fox on the snow.

"Look here, these are fox footprints!
Judging from the traces, they should be new traces within a day or two. Let's follow the traces and try to find the old nest!"

Yue Feng shouted, then took the lead and followed the direction of the fox's footprints.

The chase lasted for two miles. There were more and more fox footprints on the ground. When they reached a sunny barren slope, the scattered footprints gathered into an animal trail. Yue Feng knew that they were not far from the fox's nest.

Sure enough, after several people searched separately, they found the entrance to the fox's den behind an inconspicuous bush.

"Found it, the entrance to the cave is here!!" Ye Xiaojun discovered the entrance to the cave and immediately shouted to his companions.

Yue Feng and Jin Long approached immediately, and after taking a look around, they found that it was undoubtedly the entrance to the cave.

After observing the area, Yue Feng said, "Look a little further, there should be a back door.

This fox is very smart, it always has a way out. The fox den we found last time had two back doors!"

"Okay, let's look for it again!"

After working for a long time, we only found a back door that seemed to be the entrance of a cave, and discovered nothing else.

Unable to find it, Yue Feng had to give up. He took out the white-skinned bomb that he had used to drive away foxes from his pocket.

The golden eagle had not been accustomed to close-range gunfire and explosives, so directly igniting the firecrackers would not work. Yue Feng used the handle of his knife to knock open the soil behind the firecrackers and collected the gunpowder from at least a dozen firecrackers.

There is no explosion training, but there are ways to play without explosion. When there is too much gunpowder and it is ignited, the pungent gas can also have a repelling effect.

So, Yue Feng left the fuse and directly ignited the collected gunpowder.

歘!
After a series of flashes of fire, thick white smoke rose from the cave entrance.

The pungent smell of gunpowder filled the entrance of the fox cave. Not long after, a spotted fox with black heads and two black eyes emerged from the cave, which seemed to be the back door, and rushed towards the northwest. (End of this chapter)
