Chapter Seventy-Eight: Two Unlucky Eggs

With McGee's shock, the second half of the night finally calmed down, except for the faint howl of wolves in the distance and the chirping of unknown birds in the woods, nothing could disturb everyone's rest.

The performance of McGee and the dogs made everyone feel at ease, the second half of the night was the time to be sleepy, within ten minutes, everyone fell asleep one after another, when Qin Yi was confused, he vaguely heard who was snoring, it was Trevor or Colin?

I don't know if it will make noise to others, anyway, it didn't make Qin Yi, this guy was sleeping very much, and he fell asleep after a while.

When he woke up early the next morning, Ryan had already gotten up, Qin Yi looked at his watch, it was almost 6 o'clock, rubbed his face, climbed out of his sleeping bag, the night on the mountain was very cold, and it was a little cold in the morning, so he picked up his coat and put it on, and got out of the tent.

The air in the forest was fresh, better than in the pasture, so take two deep breaths, say hello to Ryan, pat the dogs on the head, and go to brush their teeth and wash their faces.

When Ryan got up, the fire had been extinguished, and he had rekindled the fire, boiling hot water, and when everyone was up, it was just in time for each person to have a cup of coffee. As for cooking, let's wait for Yi to come, no bread, only beef and vegetables, it doesn't seem appropriate to eat barbecue for breakfast, let's let Yi make a beef soup, everyone loves to eat!

After washing, Qin Yi came over to cook. Half an hour later, the smell filled the camp, and everyone got up one after another, cleaned up their personal hygiene, and sat around the fire and chatted. In the morning, McGee stopped fishing, and Sousa gave the mother and son more than half of the remaining basket of vegetables, leaving a little for the noon ingredients.

The dogs had no fish to eat, and Qin Yi was not afraid, so he had prepared food for McGee and the dogs, but it was worse than the fish. Cook a pot of rice, scoop a few spoonfuls of beef broth, more soup and less meat, and mix it, it's the dogs' breakfast. The dogs are not picky eaters, the two big rice bowls will eat clean after a while, and then lie on the side and continue to keep watch, seeing that Qin Yi is very satisfied.

After breakfast, we walked around the camp together, when we arrived yesterday, it was a little dark, and we didn't enjoy the surrounding scenery much, but now we just happened to look around.

The dogs explored the road before and after, everyone walked along the creek and slowly walked up the mountain, on the way Qin Yi picked some wild flowers, made a wreath for Angel to wear, the little girl giggled, and then looked at her mother, there was no garland, looked at Qin Yi and said, "Uncle Yi, mom too!" ”

Susa, who was holding Angel, was very happy, she was really a good child, thinking about herself everywhere.

"Okay, I'll make another one for Mom."

As you walk, you pick wildflowers, which are everywhere, and the air is filled with the aroma of grass and wildflowers.

"Angel, why don't you help Aunt Liu weave one, Auntie also wants a wreath as beautiful as Angel!" Liu Qimeng just can't be idle, and if she doesn't tease Angel, she will have a lot less fun.

"Yes, yes! Angel, Auntie too, help Auntie talk to Uncle Yi, okay? Chloe and Christine joined in the fun.

Angel pouted, unhappy, "But Uncle Yi is so tired"

Everyone laughed when they heard this sentence, this little girl, mother and Uncle Yi are the closest people, but you can't trouble your Uncle Yi because of others! Of course, it may also be that the little girl wants a gift, and now that people have become lively, there are more careful thoughts, of course, they are all some children's playful ideas, nothing bad.

"Angel, my aunt can make ice cream, do you want to eat it?"

That's right, Liu Qimeng, this girl can't cook, but she can make ice cream, and it's delicious, she has made it at home before, not to mention Angel, Qin Yi and Susa, the two adults, think it's good.

Qin Yi guessed that maybe girls nowadays are like this, they can't cook, but they can make ice cream or pudding, but boys can cook more.

Sure enough, when Angel heard the ice cream, she clicked her mouth and tapped her chin with her little finger, "Then, Aunt Liu has to make it every day!" ”

This is bargaining, this girl has even learned this, and she doesn't know who to learn it from.

Liu Qimeng teased the cute little girl, thinking it was very interesting, ignoring Angel's little hand and pinching her little face, "Then you can't eat secretly, your mother can only eat if you agree." ”

Angel nodded happily, then looked at Qin Yi, "Uncle Yi, you help Aunt Liu, Aunt Kolo, and Aunt Christine, all weave a garland, there is ice cream when you go home, let's eat it with our mother!" ”

Qin Yi couldn't cry or laugh, in the end, he was a child, and he couldn't resist the temptation of ice cream. Confused, but fortunately, remember to eat with yourself.

Walking and stopping, several women of all sizes had garlands, and the team also walked a few miles away, at this time, everyone saw a huge bird's nest on a large poplar tree in the distance, covering the entire treetops, as if it were a small house!

Ryan glanced at it and introduced to a few people: "That's an eagle's nest, it's not uncommon here, it may be a bald eagle, or it may be a North American golden eagle, you know, their nests are about the same." ”

"Will they attack us?" Christine looked at the huge bird's nest and was a little worried, she knew that these birds of prey, with a wingspan of more than 2 meters, would have to lose a piece of meat if they were pecked and caught!

Everyone looked at Ryan, who had lived here all his life and should know this.

"Of course, if they find it, especially now that the bald eagle is almost at the spawning stage, and the golden eagle may already be brooding. The woods are not suitable for them to move around, but they may chase us down the mountain, so for now, we'd better hide behind the trees or just retreat before we find out. ”

Qin Yi thought about it, let's go, if it is not good if it is discovered, can it still shoot them? Don't look for trouble!

But before he could speak, he found a black thing falling from the nest, and when he raised his gun and looked at the sight, he found that it was a chick, fluttering its wings, but it couldn't stop the fall at all!

"Look, there's a chick falling!" Qin Yi hurriedly asked everyone to take a look, but unfortunately before everyone raised their guns, the young bird had already landed, and he didn't know if he had fallen to death.

"What a bird? I fell to death at such a high level! Although Kolo said this, he still wanted to look at his expression, but he was afraid that he would be discovered by the adult eagle, so he didn't say his specific thoughts.

"Why don't we go and see? If the chick falls, it probably means that the parent bird is not there, otherwise it won't be unresponsive! The kind-hearted Susa also wanted to go and see it, and if the chick hadn't died, maybe she and others would be able to help it.

Ryan moved fast just now, among several people, only he had time to take a look at the falling black shadow, it was the fledgling, at this time after listening to Susa's words, he felt that it was very reasonable, and nodded at Qin Yi, Qin Yi asked everyone to stay here, and he followed Ryan to take a look, black rice and wheat followed, and the other dogs also stayed.

When I got closer, I saw a bloodstained young eagle struggling under the tree, the white tail feathers had fallen off a lot, the wings had grown hard feathers, and the body was still full of fluff, and the pieces of skin and flesh were gone, as if they had been torn off by something, and they looked very miserable.

may have fallen from the air, one of its wings and one leg had been broken, hanging on one side, seeing Qin Yi and the two coming over, opening its lead-gray beak, making a tender eagle chirping, and the wings and legs on the other side wanted to climb to the side, but there was no strength, it was in vain!

Black rice and wheat stared at the young eagles as if they had found prey, Qin Yi hurriedly pacified them, but they didn't fall to their deaths, but they were bitten to death by dogs!

"Oh God, poor little one! Yi, this should be a golden eagle, it seems that the little guy accidentally fell off when he was dodging! ”

Ryan sighed and told Qin Yi what he knew, "If the parent bird doesn't bring back food for a long time, and the little ones are hungry, the strongest young bird will peck at their brothers and even eat them all!" It sounds incredible, but nature is so cruel! ”

"Yes, if I hadn't met Susa and I before, McGee and Teddy might have died, nature is really cruel!"

Walking forward, Qin Yi took off his cowboy hat and put it on the ground, picked up the golden eagle chick that was still a little struggling with both hands, put it inside, patted its head and comforted it, but unfortunately it was useless, but fortunately, the chick found that he was not attacked, and it quieted down after a while.

Qin Yi and the two were walking back, there was a crisp and immature eagle chirp faintly overhead, accompanied by a fluttering sound, looking up, they were surprised to find that another chick in the sky was falling, and before the two of them could react, it had already popped to the ground, splashing a few leaves!

The two hurriedly went over to check, this one was similar to the one just now, bloodstained, a lot of flesh was pecked off, two legs were broken, the wings were fine, Qin Yi and Ryan looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they were chased and killed by their own boss, and they were brothers who were sick and sympathetic!

Came back with two unlucky guys, everyone looked at them, they all sighed pitifully, and Angel also said that these two birds who came to make friends were so pitiful!

The two eaglelings were not lightly injured, and everyone lost the interest in playing, and returned to the camp, where Susa found a medical kit to bandage their wounds and fix the severed limbs.

The two bandaged eagles couldn't run away anyway, and no one hurt them here, so they had slowly adapted and stayed in the basket honestly. Qin Yi cut off a slice of beef, cut it into thin strips and fed it to them, and everyone else gathered around the basket to watch them eat, whispering about what happened to the two little ones when they grew up.

Everyone sat and chatted for a while, drank a cup of coffee, and started to pack up, and it was about the same time, and if you go back to the ranch now, you can get home before dark.

Riding a horse along the way, the speed is much faster, and the scenery is almost seen, except for rest, did not stay long, and arrived home at 5 o'clock in the evening. The two days were quite wonderful, everyone was very happy, but they were not tired, and they went back to their rooms to take a shower and rest.

Qin Yi sent the two young eagles to the barn, told the dogs not to bully the two poor ones, and then went back to the house. After taking a shower and changing clothes for a while, Qin Yi thought about what to eat for dinner?

By the way, in the past two days, the leeks in the vegetable garden have been taken care of, and they have grown tender stubble, which can be eaten. Angel and Susa haven't eaten vegetable dumplings yet, so they eat this at night, and the two of them should like to eat them.
