Chapter 33: The Tale of Falconry
In the Qingyun Temple, the monkeys were watching, all of them craned their necks and looked at the big bird in the circle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The big bird was covered in blue-gray feathers, with a sharp beak and sharp claws, and it was the goshawk.
It's just that this goshawk has lost its former divine steed, its neck is shrunk, one wing is hanging to the ground, the wound on the wing is faintly visible, and there are purple-black blood stains. This goshawk, apparently, was not lightly injured. Although the goshawk is the king of the sky, when hunting, it can also be injured if you are not careful, and in the final analysis, the animal kingdom is a cruel world after all.
The down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, let alone a goshawk!
"Good bird, Lao Tzu pulled you into a bald chicken today, see if you dare to throw stones again!" Chen Ergou's sense of revenge is also very strong, at the time of the cliff, he couldn't go up to the world and didn't touch the ground, he was bullied by this goshawk, who doesn't hold a grudge.
Pick up a wooden stick and stab the goshawk. He shouted, "You're flying—"
A moment ago, the general goshawk was beaten by frost, and immediately the golden eyes were round, angry, the feathers on the neck were puffed up, and the sharp beak like a steel hook beckoned to the wooden stick, pecking aggressively.
After all, he was the former king of the sky, and he should not be humiliated.
With such a struggle, the wound on the goshawk's wings cracked again and began to leak blood again. Ma Fenghou originally wanted to collect some interest from this goshawk, but now when he sees its miserable appearance, he has no such thoughts. are all begging for a life in the same mountain, and a bit of struggle is inevitable, which is all internal contradictions and can be reconciled.
Especially a bird of prey like a goshawk, without the sky where the eagle soars, it is absolutely lonely.
And after this guy was injured, he didn't go anywhere else, but struggled to fly down to Qingyunguan, obviously he had the intention of seeking refuge, of course Ma Fenghou couldn't fall into the well. Don't be deceived by the goshawk's brave appearance, thinking that this is a rough guy, and it is easy to become a high-level predator.
When this goshawk threw stones from the cliff, Ma Fenghou saw its essence clearly: he knew that he had robbed while he was on fire, what was it if he wasn't an old oilman?
So, Ma Fenghou stopped Chen Ergou from continuing to stimulate the goshawk, and then cautiously leaned towards the goshawk, the wounds on its body had to be treated, fortunately, there were still some ointments left by the old Taoist.
The goshawk's vigilant eyes stared at Ma Fenghou, this time, Ma Fenghou finally understood what it means to have sharp eyes, and couldn't help but raise his little paws and swing, squeaking twice in his mouth, indicating that he had no malicious intent.
With a breath, the goshawk came out of its mouth like electricity, and pecked directly at Ma Fenghou's head, the speed was far faster than the reaction speed of ordinary people.
Fortunately, Ma Fenghou has been successful in boxing recently, and when he got up, he was more careful and shrank his head sharply, so that he could avoid the goshawk's attack. However, when the goshawk retracted its beak, Ma Fenghou still saw a few slender monkey hairs fluttering down in front of his eyes.
The dog bites Lu Dongbin - Ma Fenghou scolded in his heart, he also knew that birds of prey were like this, and he was quickly relieved.
"Brother Monkey, let me try?" Xiao Qi was bold and eager to try it next to him. But how could Ma Fenghou tell her to take risks, being pecked by the goshawk's sharp beak was not a joke.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the head of the Akajiri thief touching the back of the goshawk with his little paws holding a snakeskin bag. Ma Fenghou was overjoyed, and hurriedly pointed in front of the goshawk to attract its attention.
After all, it was injured and its energy was low, and the goshawk was caught up in the cold by Akajiri from behind, and before it could struggle, Ma Fenghou rushed up to hug it, and Chen Ergou and Xiaoqi also came up to help, so they were busy, so they restrained the goshawk.
When Xiao Qi applied ointment to the goshawk's wound, Ma Fenghou gave a thumbs up to Chijiri: It is worthy of being the second master, who did you learn the trick of pockets and sticks, and it has the potential to become a rogue ~ hooligan monkey?
Akajiri was also very proud of the king's praise, and picked up a snakeskin bag to cover a handful of hair, and then saw the snakeskin bag writhe, and moved two steps crookedly, and finally fell down with a bang, causing the monkeys to scream. Dare to play this if you have nothing to do, no wonder you are familiar with it.
Well, it is necessary to continuously improve the ability in practice -- Ma Fenghou was greatly relieved.
After Xiao Qi finished dressing the goshawk, he walked over and pulled Ma Fenghou's suspenders, and his little face looked very painful. I was kicked a few times by the eagle's claws just now, and I tore several holes in my pants.
This dress is very commemorative for Xiao Qi, and of course the little girl is distressed.
Ma Fenghou didn't care, after becoming a monkey, he felt a little in the way of getting dressed. But Xiao Qi doesn't think so, it's weirdly cold in winter, what should I do if Brother Monkey is frozen?
So he went into the house for a while, and first took out a military uniform to change it for Ma Fenghou, but the little monkey had resistance to the Japanese army's military uniform in his heart, and said that he would not wear anything.
"Brother Monkey is the King of Monkeys, of course you can't wear the same clothes as other monkeys!" Xiao Qi had another idea, and finally found an old Taoist robe that Grandpa Monkey had worn before, and trimmed it for Brother Monkey happily: This time, Brother Monkey has really inherited Grandpa Monkey's clothes-
As for the injured goshawk, he has made his home in the firewood room for the time being, and this guy is a thorn head, and whoever gets close to it will blow up his hair and put on an attacking posture. But none of those monkeys survived, and there were always thieves and thieves who came over to see the rarity, which provoked the goshawk to let out a burst of alert calls, and the monkeys were even more happy to amuse you.
There is no one who is worry--Ma Fenghou shouted a few times, and he didn't bother to care. The goshawk is injured and can't hunt for food, and this guy is not a vegetarian, so he has to worry about his food.
There was no way, so I could only ask Chen Ergou to go down the mountain and go to the village to get some pork. The New Year is coming soon, and someone should kill the New Year's pig.
Ergou really lived up to expectations, and when he came back, he carried a foot of pork, and reported a good news to Master Monkey: tomorrow his grandfather's house will kill the New Year's pig and invite the monkey to come.
Ma Fenghou was extremely thoughtful, and also wanted to go down the mountain to go around, so he naturally nodded in agreement. Then he cut a pound of lean meat with a knife and threw it into the firewood room. According to his estimates, the goshawk must be hungry and must not gobble it up.
The result was very unexpected, the goshawk saw the pork, his golden eyes lit up at first, and then he turned his head away, and then did not look at the meat again.
It's all like this, you're still playing arrogant - Ma Fenghou is out of luck with this goshawk, if you don't eat, you'll be hungry, and when you're hungry, see if you eat or not!
He still doesn't understand the habits of birds of prey, which are the kind of creatures that can really starve themselves to death.
"Big bird, you eat, if you don't eat, you'll be hungry, and when you're full, you're willing to get sick." When Xiao Qi was sick before, his mother bought delicious food for Xiao Qi-" Xiao Qi also squatted on the ground, poked a piece of meat with a thin wooden stick, and then handed it to the goshawk's beak. After talking about it for a while, the big eyes became a little foggy.
Duh--The goshawk's sharp beak pecked hard at the stick, and the piece of meat flew out immediately. Xiao Qi let out a sigh in his mouth, his body flashed back, and he squatted on the ground: "Big bird, don't be so fierce, okay?" ”
At this time, even Ma Fenghou couldn't look at it, and he was so angry that he grabbed his cheeks: Good for you, you have flat hair, you are kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs, bully our Xiaoqi, starve you to death!
But Xiao Qi didn't think so, the little guy was also very stubborn in his bones, poked another piece of meat, and stretched it to the goshawk's beak: "Big bird, you can eat it, I know that when I am sick and uncomfortable, I will lose my temper——"
What a good little Qi, who should eat it! Ma Fenghou looked at Xiao Qi's extremely focused little face, and his heart was full of pity.
However, the goshawk just didn't give face, and it didn't count if he pecked at the wooden stick again, but even pecked at Xiao Qi fiercely.
Ma Fenghou was a little distracted just now, and he was stunned, but it was too late to stop it.
When there was a crisp sound, it was like hitting gold and jade. Xiao Qi sat on the ground again, looking at the big bird with aggrieved eyes. Ma Fenghou hurriedly protected her in front of her, only to see that the little girl's jacket was pecked and cracked, revealing the small gourd hanging around her neck, fortunately, it was this gourd that blocked Xiao Qi just now, otherwise, the skin would have to be opened.
And just now, Ma Fenghou was still in a trance and saw that there seemed to be a black and white rotating Tai Chi pattern of light, flashing in front of Xiao Qi's body.
Is this gourd a talisman? Ma Fenghou realized.
Xiao Qi got up from the ground again, his little face was still a little aggrieved, but more persistent, poked up a piece of meat again, and stretched it out to the goshawk's mouth for the third time.
I don't know why, the goshawk didn't refuse this time, pecked the piece of meat and pressed it under its claws, and tore it up with a big mouth, like gobbling it up.
Your flat hair is not incorrigible, and I will call you a flat hair in the future-Ma Fenghou thought at first that Xiao Qi was sincere, and the golden stone was opened, but when the old scar Mao came over and inserted a piece of meat to feed the eagle, he was almost left with a scar on his face. Ma Fenghou didn't believe in evil, and asked Chen Ergou to come over to try it, but he was also despised by Bian Mao.
Only when Xiao Qi feeds it, the flat hair will not refuse. Even, when Xiao Qi stretched out his little hand and gently stroked the feathers on its neck, this thing did not show the slightest sign of attack.
Akajiri did the same, and he also wanted to stretch out his little paws, but he was pecked on the back of his claws by flat hair, and Akajiri screamed miserably, leaving only the share of jumping high in place.
This is probably fate, others can't envy it-Ma Fenghou can only come to this illusory conclusion. He didn't know that it was the fleeting Tai Chi light group that would make Bian Mao no longer have the slightest wariness of Xiao Qi.
After feeding the flat hair, Xiao Qi went to cook satisfied. Because Chen Ergou brought back a lot of meat, the little girl decided to improve her food: making dumplings.
In Ma Fenghou's memory, this is the first time to eat dumplings in Qingyunguan, so he is also very attentive, standing on the stool and picking up the kitchen knife, and chopping the meat filling.
However, when I started making dumplings, I still encountered a little trouble: no one knew how to roll the skin.
Xiao Qi is too young to learn this; Ma Fenghou is not to mention, for the young man who was not diligent in the past, it is strange that he can roll dumpling skins.
In the end, Chen Ergou could only go into battle hard, rolling the dough for a long time, before he could come up with a dumpling skin that was three flat and four not round.
Ma Fenghou made a dumpling, and was taken to boil water by Xiao Qi, the appearance of the dumplings was ugly, not to mention, the key was to break the stomach, and it was broken before it was cooked.
Ma Fenghou was worried while filling the stove with firewood: This is the rhythm of eating dumplings in the middle of the night.
As soon as the door rang, a handful of hairs creaked in, and the little paws were still holding the stainless steel lunch box. Looking further back, the monkeys were all holding lunch boxes, lining up in a long line, and squeezing their eyebrows at the king to curry favor, looking like they were all waiting to eat dumplings.
All of them are monkey spirits and monkey spirits, and they know if they have made delicious food-Ma Fenghou was furious when he saw this, and squeaked twice: Get out of here, if you want to eat dumplings, go by yourself!
