Chapter 49: The Gentleman on the Cliff
Dekang rested on the tracking dog's fur for a while before he felt fully regained. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
I didn't feel very tired when I carried half a sheep on a long road in the dark night, but I still felt tired after returning to the cave, and in order to visit the eagle again, Dekang prepared to recharge his energy for several days and nights, and appeared there with his most abundant strength.
Getting up and stretching his front limbs on the ground, Dekang walked towards the hole step by step; Baoyue, who had been lying on the side silently and obediently, got up and followed closely behind his ass.
Running out of the cave and glancing around, there were a few rare birds in the distance to the west foraging for food on the river beach, Dekang moved his muscles and bones, stared at the two places where the delicious food was buried, there was no trace, even his footprints back and forth had disappeared, and the wind and snow were sometimes quite helpful to the wolf clan.
Baoyue tossed around decently according to Dekang's appearance, watching the second brother sweep away the traces with his tail and prepare to return to the cave, Zhi stared and couldn't help but ask, "Second brother." Why don't you go out and run a few laps. β
"The second brother hasn't gone out for the past few days and nights, just accompanying Baoyue in the cave, okay?"
Baoyue glanced at Dekang, stuck out her little tongue and didn't know how to reply.
Lazily lying at the mouth of the cave, thinking of the sweet dream in the simple snow cave, Dekang closed his eyes slightly and laughed unconsciously.
Baoyue looked at him, little by little, she put on a little face and stared at him, as if she didn't know Dekang, she got closer and closer, and she was almost about to touch Dekang's nose.
"Baoyue. What are you doing? Dekang opened his eyes and looked at her strangely.
"Second brother. There's something wrong with your laugh. Do you want to tease Baoyue again? β
"Tease you!" Now Dekang has no such idle time.
'Hey, hey, hey... β
Seeing that the second brother was smiling more mysteriously, Bao Yue pulled his forelimbs hard and began to shake: "Second brother... Tell Baoyue quickly. β
Dekang deliberately exaggerated his brain probe inside and outside the cave and glanced at it a few times, and slowly leaned over to Baoyue's ear and whispered, "Second brother has found the nest of the damned flying eagle. Hey, hey, heyγγγγγγ β
"The Eagle's Lair!" Baoyue jumped up suddenly, and her little head almost hit the top of the cave.
Dekang stared at her up and down a few times, but he didn't expect the little cub to be able to jump so high now, and when he looked at it, Baoyue's body seemed to have grown a lot.
Baoyue didn't care what Dekang was thinking, jumped over his neck and asked, "Where is there any Flying Eagle Treasure, how much delicious is it, why don't you carry it all back, Second Brother?" β
Dekang hugged Baoyue tightly in his arms and got up and leaned against the cave wall, touched her little head and said, "The second brother saw the eagle's nest on the cliff and retreated, without alarming them or searching for delicious food. β
"Why?" Baoyue stared at the little eyes with a look of disbelief.
Dekang smiled: "Baoyue." Do you think it's better to grab a ticket and run, or is it better for the second brother to sneak in every other day and come back with some delicious food? β
Baoyue looked at Dekang in a daze, unable to understand what the second brother meant.
Dekang rubbed her little head: "The Flying Eagle is a very alert and cunning character. If you go to grab it openly, at most you will carry a little fat sheep back, they will definitely hide the rest of the delicious food elsewhere, and it is likely to be put in a place like a cliff or a broken wall, so that you can see and eat, and they may be pecked by them in the process of fighting, you must remember that the eagle will sneak into the eyes of the opponent the most. β
"What's the difference between robbing and stealing?"
"It's not the same to take advantage of the dark night to touch in and smooth the deliciousness, when the flying eagle is asleep, sneak in unconsciously and bring out the delicious food, and touch it again after eating. Baoyue, think about it, there is a bastard who prepares delicious food for the two of us every three or five times, where to find such a good thing, this is the legendary good life! β
"Doesn't that mean we have a group of people?"
"Almost."
Baoyue's eyes rolled a few times: "Second brother." But you don't know where the eagle's treasure is, and if you find it in the dark, you might be noticed by the eagle. β
Hey, hey, hey...
Brother has already had a countermeasure.
Dekang curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said as if he was not smiling: "I have already thought of a solution." That's why these second brothers have to lie down in the cave and nourish their physical strength. β
Baoyue grabbed Dekang's ear and said loudly, "Second brother." Laughing like this again. Tell Baoyue... Second brother... Say it quickly... β
"Undisturbed, the eagle will leave its uneaten prey in the same place. The second brother has already chosen a gap to hide, this time he took advantage of the dark night to touch in, hide in the gap and secretly inspect for a day or two to see where the flying eagle left its prey, and when the moon is dark and the wind is high, the second brother will γγγγγγ Hey. Hey. Hey... Saying that, Dekang stretched out his forelimbs and pretended to be a thief's head, and made a sneaky gesture to walk in.
"Second brother is so powerful! We've always had something delicious to eat. Baoyue got up and shouted in joy.
Baoyue made a fuss for a while, turned to stare at Dekang's eyes and asked, "Second brother." What's in the treasure of the Flying Eagle? β
"Hey, hey, hey... There's everything. Little sheep, little rabbits, little mice, sand grouse, mergansers, cranes, geese and swans. That's a lot. As he spoke, Dekang's saliva couldn't help but flow out.
Baoyue looked up at the second brother's mouth and swallowed hard, but the saliva still trickled down from the corners of her mouth.
Dekang didn't go out for a day and night, at most, he stretched his muscles at the entrance of the cave.
Baoyue was very well-behaved this time, she didn't make a fuss with a bitter face, she practiced walking against the wall when Dekang was resting, and when she was tired, she leaned on his arms for a while, and sometimes she ran to the entrance of the cave alone to be distracted from the outside, and she didn't know what was going on in her little head.
When the third dark night came, Dekang and Baoyue were both excited.
Dekang squatted at the entrance of the cave and bitten and nibbled on the fat antelope legs, and Baoyue walked around and refused to stop for a moment.
Eat until his stomach is bulging and he can't swallow it anymore, so Dekang rubbed his stomach and wiped his mouth, threw away the antelope leg, got up and put on the sword, hugged Baoyue and kissed him fiercely.
"Baoyue. The second brother will probably have to stay there for three days and nights, you must not go out of the cave to visit and play, wait for the second brother to return with a full load. β
"Baoyue can't go out obediently. The second brother wants to bring the best food back to Baoyue. Baoyue's little face was full of hope, and her little eyes were shining.
After eating his stomach, feeling the heat flowing in his body, his limbs full of motivation, and his heart being even hotter, running in the wind and snow without feeling cold at all, Dekang's mind was thinking from time to time: what surprises will be found in the treasure of the flying eagle?
His curiosity was no less than that of Baoyue.
I ran all the way to the big stream before I stopped, I felt my blood boiling, gnawed a few mouthfuls of snow, and the cold snow water flowed into my stomach, slightly diluting my restless heart: "The real battle with the flying eagle has just begun, and all actions in the future must be extremely cautious. β
Taking a few deep breaths, Dekang ran north along the base of the mountain on the left side of the large stream.
Running through the second valley, Dekang slowed down, ran up unhurriedly, climbed into the rock crevice with a light car, and stretched out his head to look at the middle of the opposite cliff, only to see a pile of black and messy branches, and saw the figure of the flying eagle, it is estimated that these two bastards are dreaming of spring and autumn.
Dekang looked up and down the valley a few times carefully, the north cliff is facing the sun, the eagle will not store the prey that cannot be eaten on that side, the south valley floor is basically not seen in this season, it is an ideal place to refrigerate delicious food for a long time.
Dekang stared at it a few times, and roughly determined the three most likely positions, and the next thing he had to do was to wait patiently for the right moment.
It's still early in the day, Dekang shrank to the deepest part of the rock crevice, tightened his body, rolled his tail over to cover his face and took a nap, of course it is impossible to sleep peacefully in such a harsh environment, Dekang just wants to consume as little energy as possible and maintain more physical strength, this may be a protracted battle.
Squint for a while and listen to the movement outside, squint for a while and listen to the movement outside, and finally stay up in a daze until the sun appears.
The first time he came out to steal the delicious food, Dekang was far from being as calm and calm as he imagined, but fortunately he didn't move his buttocks, and he basically completed the first stage of the goal.
There was no movement in the nest on the opposite side, until the sun shone on the branches outside, and the chirping of the eagle was heard, and Dekang was still in place at this time.
The first thing the eagles do when they wake up is to check the surroundings of the nest for any suspicious targets or movements, and then they will generally comb their feathers, make a few calls from time to time, and then stand on the branches to bask in the sun, and then fly back and forth around the nest a few times to stretch their muscles, and finally some of the eagles will return to the nest to squint and sleep, and some of the eagles will begin to eat the remaining delicious food from the previous day and night.
None of this had anything to do with Dekang, who was still standing still.
If he is not discovered, he wins!
At the beginning of the day, the eagle usually swallows the prey that was not eaten last time and was placed next to the nest, or goes out to hunt and eat fresh and delicious food, and rarely flies to the place where the prey is refrigerated to swallow.
Therefore, what Dekang has to do is actually do nothing and stay in place.
The eagle will chirp a few times as if it were showing off when it returns to its nest with its prey in its mouth, which is Dekang's cheap alarm sound, and he only needs to quickly take a look at it.
The two bastards on the other side probably ate their stomachs last day and night, and when they got up, they only combed their feathers, stared around, and practiced their voices, or they stuck together and made love, and pestered and screamed for a while, but they didn't go out to hunt.
Dekang has stayed up for half a day and night, his limbs have long been stiff, how dare he go out to move his muscles and bones on the opposite side, in order not to smell as much as possible, Dekang has been tightly hugging his body like a little hedgehog.
It wasn't until the sun was high that the two eagles flapped their wings and flew together towards the southwest.
Dekang grinned and stretched his limbs, twisted his neck, flicked his tail, and waited for the numbness in his limbs to disappear, before he climbed behind the big rock and stretched his limbs on the ground, gnawed a few mouthfuls of snow, ate too much before leaving, only gnawed a few mouthfuls of snow on the mouth of the big stream, and now his throat was a little itchy.
Stretching his body for a while, Dekang crawled back into the gap, staring carefully at the three locations he had seen when he first arrived, and then looking at the terrain around them, forming a clear idea of what to do next.
'Hey, hey, hey... When night comes again, it's the beginning of the show. β
The eagle went out for a long time before it flew back.
Hearing the chirping sound, Dekang slowly crawled to the mouth of the crevice, and poked out one eye to quickly glance over the valley.
The two eagles flew back one after the other, the one flying in front of him was holding half a leftover little fat rabbit under his paws, and the one behind was holding a sand pheasant, looking at the blood of the sand chicken flowing on the paws, it should not be long unlucky.
The two bastards landed on the branch one after the other and began to enjoy the deliciousness, and Dekang had to slowly crawl back to the bottom of the gap and nest up, thinking that the two bastards were devouring the delicious food, while he had to shrink and drink the northwest wind, and unconsciously gritted his teeth.
The sun was soon approaching the top of the mountain, and it seemed that the two bastards would not go out hunting again.
'My brother had to endure all day and night, cursing these two damn bastards a thousand times in his heart. Motionless nesting in this strange uncomfortable, sometimes feel that if you can work so hard, you would have hunted a fat little antelope a long time ago, alas... For the sake of the livelihood of the whole harsh winter, I will suffer some. β
On the earth, the most delicious food is to eat white food, and the most difficult food to get is also to go to white food.
In order to complete the great cause of stealing white food and disgusting flying eagles, this time he kept his limbs numb and the night was thick before he dared to twist his body slightly, slowly stretched his limbs, and got up after a while.
Compared to the leaky crevices in the rocks, simple snow caves are paradise.
As for his own cave, Dekang tried not to think about it.
I have to keep nesting.
The sun shone on the eagle's nest again, and the two bastards were busy for a while and finally went out to hunt, and Dekang climbed behind to stretch his body and move his muscles as usual, and then nibbled on two mouthfuls of snow, waiting for the time to come.
Not long after, there was a chirping sound from behind the southeast mountain, and the flying eagle rushed back.
Dekang slowly poked out an eye and glanced up against the gap, but after waiting for a while, he still didn't see the flying eagle appear over the valley.
Just wondering whether to retract, the chirping sound sounded again high on the east side of the mountain, Dekang held his breath and stared at the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a flying eagle appeared in sight.
Under the sharp talons of the flying eagle was a small yellow-brown fox, and it was estimated that he was still struggling when Dekang heard the eagle chirping just now, so the flying eagle landed on the top of the mountain and stabbed him to death; At this moment, the little fox drooped its head, drooped limbs and tail, and there was no life at all, and the blood on its neck kept falling down drop by drop.
Dekang hurriedly retracted to the bottom of the crevice.
The eagle fell, and there was another chirping from the south, and the second eagle came back.
After waiting for a while, I heard a flying eagle flapping its wings and getting up, and then the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground came from the east side of the valley.
The whirlwind was blowing, making it impossible for Dekang to accurately determine where the unlucky man was thrown, which was not a problem, and he would search for it with his nostrils open in the dark.
The arrogant eagle never bothered to bury its prey, and every time it flew over the chosen location, it threw things away.
A thin layer of snow can't hide the smell of fresh prey at all, especially the smell of blood, Dekang can find it with his eyes closed, but in order to come and go often, he must be careful in all his actions, and he must not let the flying eagle detect it unless it is absolutely necessary.
When the sun was high, the eagle went out again, and it didn't take long for them to chirp and rush back, and the two bastards seemed to have a good harvest.
Dekang was angry when he thought about it, the flying eagle went out to hunt like picking up food in his own vegetable garden, and the wolf clan had no wings, coming and going in the wind and snow, starving, and traveling long distances, and he didn't know where the next meal would appear.
Nest in place and don't bother to probe, anyway, my brother's food will be waiting for him there.
When night finally came, Dekang suppressed his impulsive thoughts and waited for the best time to come.
The moment when the flying eagle is asleep is the wonderful time of Dekang's harvest.
Finally stayed up until the night was at its thickest, except for the whistling wind in the valley, there was no movement at all, Dekang quietly crawled out of the rock crevice with his limbs under his activity, stretched his waist with his forelimbs on the ground, twisted his body on the spot to activate his back, and finally glanced at the valley mouth and went around the road behind.
Arriving at the mouth of the valley, Dekang glanced in the direction of the eagle's nest, where it was dark and quiet, lowered his head and took a large mouthful of snow in his mouth, and followed the route of the day to the depths of the valley.
There was also a small stream in this valley that had been washed by the summer snow, and the water had long since dried up, and there was hardly any movement in it except for the slightest friction of the limbs against the snow, which had long been blown away by the whistling whirlwind.
If you walk somewhere else, the valley floor is full of strange rocks, and if you accidentally slip on the rocks, the cacophony of the claws rubbing against the rocks may alarm the agile eagle and cause the progress to be lost.
After more than 300 steps to the east along the winding stream, Dekang stopped to inhale carefully and identify the odor in the air, which was the first place that Dekang pre-selected.
Judging by the sound of the little fox smashing to the ground, the Flying Eagle Treasure was not in the first position he judged, that is, more than a hundred steps away from Dekang's hideout.
As luck would have it, there was a faint smell of fishy smell in the air, and he wouldn't be more than fifty paces away from him.
Dekang looked up at the eagle's nest again, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
