Chapter 140: The Golden Eagle (4)
In the forest in the afternoon, it is silent and empty.
Apart from the tiny chirping of birds, Pepe's ears were left with the chatter of old Lem on the walkie-talkie showing off his past achievements.
"At that time, I was" just as old Lem was talking wonderful, and suddenly—
"Whoa—" An eagle's cry was heard in the distance.
"Shhhh Don't make a sound! Here it comes! Old Lem quickly stopped the conversation and reminded Pepe.
Then I saw a huge yellow-brown eagle in the sky not far away, screaming and flying above the pine forest—
The golden eagle sometimes hovers in the air, sometimes slamming into the ground with all its might.
Pepe watched from afar, and his heart couldn't help but be scared of Tata, the target of the golden eagle.
Just as her palms were already sweating, as far as she could see, Tata's brown and yellow striped figure finally appeared.
Pepe's divine sense hurriedly shrouded the figure of Tata galloping towards him—
I saw Tata holding two young eagles in his mouth (why two?). ), quickly leaping and moving in the forest, while dodging the attack of the golden eagle above, while quickly rushing towards the direction of the trap.
Behind Tata, the trees along the way were shaking their branches and leaves under the wave of the golden eagle's huge wings, accompanied by countless alarmed birds, "fluttering and fluttering" and escaping from the forest.
At this moment, there was a great movement in the woods!
"Ready? Little Peel? When I count to three, you pull the rope hard with me! The voice of the old Lem on the other end of the intercom was solemn and excited.
At this time, Pepe's attention was extremely concentrated, and he unconsciously only replied to Old Lem's "Hmm!" "It's just a syllable.
The golden eagle is getting closer, getting closer
"One-two" Pepe listened intently to the reading of old Lem on the walkie-talkie
Say it's too late, then it's too fast. In the blink of an eye, Tata's figure leaped by—
"Three! Pull—"
Old Lem gave an order, and Pepe reflexively pulled the rope in his hand. Nylon ropes fell from the sky, catching the golden eagle that was swooping down from mid-air to the ground.
"Wow-" The golden eagle, which was caught in a net that suddenly fell from the sky, screamed angrily. Then it began flapping its huge wings, trying to break free of the net.
At this moment, the bull also came to him, and he quickly galloped to the other end of the net, untied the rope that was tied to the trunk of the tree, and after pulling hard, the net in his direction was also covered.
The net has a total of four horns, two of which are roped in the hands of Pepe and Old Lem. The other two ropes are tied to two large tree trunks.
After the rope in the hands of Pepe and Old Lem was pulled, they just put down this half of the rope net and caught the golden eagle in mid-air. But if the eagle is smart, it can escape through the gap between the other two ends of the rope net.
Therefore, at this time, it is necessary for the fierce bull to quickly come to the rescue, at least untie the rope on the trunk of the tree, and pull the rope to lower the rope net in that direction. Then the three of them joined forces, dragging the rope in their hands towards the trunk of the tree tied to the last rope, and combined the strength of the three of them, trapped the golden eagle firmly in the rope net.
The Bull's reinforcements were swift. He tugged at the rope and pulled it hard in the direction of the trunk where the fourth rope was, and called out to Pepe and Old Lem to cooperate with him.
The three of them worked together and soon converged at the trunk of the last tree with a rope tied.
And after that. Pepe is starting to exert his strength. She first fastened the rope in her hand to the trunk of the fourth. Then, he took over the rope in the hands of the eldest Lem, and continued to fasten the rope to the fourth trunk as before.
The rope in the bull's hand didn't need her to worry about, and when Pepe fixed the first rope, the bull had already done it himself, fixing the rope in his own hand.
The trunk of the tree to which the fourth rope was tied was chosen by the bull early in the morning. This is the thickest tree in the vicinity, and it takes two people to hug each other. So. After holding the golden eagle, there is no need for Pepe and the three of them to worry about whether this golden eagle has the ability to pull up mountains and rivers and drag such a thick tree out of the ground.
After the ropes are secured. Next, it's the part of "boiling eagles".
The strength of the golden eagle is immense. When it is first caught in the rope net, it will use all its strength to try to break free, and at this time, no matter how strong a person is, it cannot compete with the golden eagle. (Except, of course, Pepe!) )
After wrapping the golden eagle with a rope net, the fierce bull asked Pepe to pull the four ropes, which Pepe felt like walking a kite.
For the next nearly an hour, she occasionally pulled the four straight ropes that had been broken under the command of the fierce bull, and the fierce bull was still helping her pull the four ropes of the rope net together.
According to Guò Bull's explanation, Pepe knew that the purpose of this was to consume the golden eagle's body more quickly, and at the same time to prevent the golden eagle from focusing on one place to peck at the rope net and scratch a hole in the rope net.
After a stalemate for more than half an hour, finally, the strength of the golden eagle's struggle gradually lightened.
At this time, analgesics can be used to anesthetize the golden eagle.
Old Lem had already had the syringe in his hand, and just in case, the dose in the syringe was two full bottles.
At this time, he was holding up the syringe in his hand, and asked Fierce Bull and Pepe with a stern face: "If I am still young, I must have done it myself!" Now that I'm older, I'm not as strong as I used to be, so I have to go and anesthetize the golden eagle with one of the two of you. Have you figured it out, who is going to go? ”
"I'll go!"
"I'd better go!"
Pepe and the bull replied in unison.
After the two glanced at each other, Pepe quickly reached out and grabbed the syringe in Old Lem's hand, and said very calmly: "I had the greatest strength when I broke out, don't look at the strength of the golden eagle now, but if you really go one-on-one, the fierce bull is definitely not as good as me in terms of strength!" In addition, I have mastered various techniques of exerting force in traditional Chinese kung fu, and I am able to suppress the resistance of the golden eagle with the least force. So. Fierce Bull, don't fight with me, I must go! ”
The fierce bull was silent for a moment. He replied, "Well, I'm not as good as you in terms of strength!" But. When it comes to hunting skills, I'm more professional than you! So, I'll go for it! ”
"I'll go!"
"I'll go!"
The two were at a stalemate for a while, and at this time, old Lem finally spoke: "Okay, okay, don't fight!" Both of you have a point, so I'll decide! Fierce Bull, you have explained to Pell everything you should be careful and pay attention to when approaching the golden eagle. Pell. You have the most strength, so I agree that you should anesthetize the golden eagle. However, you must keep in mind the things that the bull asks you to pay attention to, act carefully, and don't be foolish! ”
After saying that, old Lem pulled out the revolver on his waist, and after opening the safety bolt, he continued to Pepe: "I will be on guard at the side, once I can't do anything." When I tell you to quit, you have to quit immediately! Do you hear that? ”
Pepe nodded.
Under the analysis of old Lem, the fierce bull no longer argued, but nodded in agreement.
Then. The Fierce Bull explained to Pepe all the things to look out for when approaching the Golden Eagle. In fact, there is no trick, that is, you must not attack from the front, but you must pounce on the body of the golden eagle from behind, suppress the rebound of the golden eagle, and quickly anesthetize the golden eagle.
Old Lem also interjected a sentence on the side, telling Pepe that if he could, try to identify the neck position of the golden eagle when he put the needle. The anesthetic works faster when it enters the arteries in the neck!
The explanations and precautions were explained, and Pepe took the syringe in his hand and carefully approached from the back of the golden eagle. At the same time, the affinity of the divine consciousness also shrouded the position of the golden eagle's brain.
The golden eagle at this time. It was crawling on the ground, accompanied by its wail. Flap its wings from time to time.
The more Pepe walked in, the larger the female eagle became. Visually, the female eagle is about 100 centimeters long, has a wingspan of just over two meters, and is estimated to weigh six or seven kilograms.
After Pepe observed it for a while, he almost bottomed out in his heart. Then, the affinity of her divine consciousness that shrouded the golden eagle's head became stronger, and gradually, the golden eagle seemed to calm down, and its wings stopped fluttering.
- Here's your chance!
Pepe immediately seized the opportunity to pounce on the back of the golden eagle, raised the syringe in his hand, and quickly pierced the golden eagle's neck, and then quickly pushed the syringe to inject the anesthetic into the golden eagle's body.
After the potion in the syringe was empty, Pepe immediately pulled out the syringe and threw it, and then rolled backwards with his head in his hands, out of the attack range of the golden eagle.
This whole process seems to be quite described, but in fact, the whole process from the moment Pepe started to the time he rolled away from the back of the golden eagle did not take more than two minutes!
After holding up the roll, Pepe got up, patted the dust off his body, and walked back to Old Lem and Fierce Bull, and the three of them waited quietly for the anesthetic to take effect.
This process took about ten minutes, and the golden eagle's eyes finally closed slowly.
"Alright, take out the rope and tie up the golden eagle first." Old Lem took out a twisted rope from his backpack and handed it to the bull.
After the bull lifted the rope net, he tied the golden eagle firmly with a rope.
At the same time, Pepe also took the opportunity to use his divine sense to cast a master-servant seal on the unconscious female eagle. Of course, no one noticed this process, and in the eyes of old Lem and the fierce bull, Pepe just squatted beside the fierce bull and helped the fierce bull to tie up.
At some point, Tata also popped up.
For so long, all the attention of the three of them had been on the female eagle, and they didn't pay much attention to Tata's whereabouts.
After Pepe finished the seal of master and servant, she got up and turned back with satisfaction, and saw Tata squatting not far away, she stepped forward with a smile and touched Tata's head: "Tata, where did you run just now?" Hey? What about the chicks you stole from? Could it be in your belly? ”
Tata let out a coquettish "ahh
I saw Tata go under the tree, pounce on the trunk hard, and then grab the trunk with his paws three times and climb to the treetops above. Pepe looked there, and it turned out that Tata had hidden the eagle there.
"Why are there only two young eagles? Didn't you say that the female eagle lays three eggs? It stands to reason that there should be three, huh? Looking at the two "squeaky" chicks in Tata's mouth, Pepe asked the first question curiously.
"Hehe, survival of the fittest! This third eagle must have been pecked to death by these two! By this time, the bull had already tied up the golden eagle. He smiled and walked over to Tata and crouched down, taking the two chirping eagles from Tata's mouth.
After that, pass guò the explanation of the fierce bull. Pepe then knew that it turned out that no matter how many eggs the female eagle lays, after the chick hatches. In the process of feeding, if there is not enough food in the nest. The larger chicks that hatch first will often peck at the smaller siblings that hatch later, devouring the feathers and flesh that they have pecked.
If the lack of food is not long, the smaller chicks that hatch later can still maintain the ability to evade, and will not have the consequences of being strict. But if the parent bird can't bring back food for a long time, sibling cannibalism is inevitable. The larger young eagles will peck the smaller young eagles into blood, or even peck them to death and eat them.
Even when there is no shortage of food, a larger young eagle with a survival instinct will peck at its nest mates to death in order to get more food from its parent bird. This phenomenon mostly occurs around the age of 20 days for young eagles. Because before the age of 20 days, there are often female eagles guarding the nest.
Therefore, the third eagle must have been pecked to death by the two siblings of its nest while the female eagle was leaving the nest.
In the process of explaining, the bull took out a hand-woven straw bowl from his bag, put the two young eagles into it, and then took out the small leather bag containing the entrails of the hare and pheasant, poured out the fresh entrails, and fed the two young eagles.
"Eagle birds of prey will tear open the abdominal cavity of their prey when they eat and eat, and first devour their favorite heart, liver and other internal organs. Only then will other parts of the good meat be swallowed. But after having offspring, they will take the most tender heart, liver and other internal organs back to the nest, and give priority to feeding the offspring. So. That's why I'm going to put away the offal and other scraps just so that I can feed the young eagles. Without waiting for Pepe to ask, the bull took the initiative to explain.
"The golden eagle eats a lot of food, so you bring the adult golden eagle back, and after the eagle is successfully boiled, you can buy some offal and other scraps to feed the golden eagle, which can not only provide the golden eagle with its most satisfactory food, but also save a lot of feeding costs." The fierce bull said again.
So there is still such a saying! Pepe nodded at the bull.
"Alright. Let's go quickly, before the sun goes down before the male eagle returns to its nest. Let's get out of here! Old Lem had already packed all his tools by this time, and he put his backpack on his back. Urging the bull and Pepe.
"Not bad! It's getting late, and the male eagle is about to return to the nest, Lyme, come and help me, let's move quickly, get a stretcher out and carry the female eagle away. The bull nodded, handed Pepe the straw bowl and the small leather bag with the entrails, and then walked back to the unconscious female and beckoned to old Lem.
After that, Pepe watched the bull and old Lem work together, lifting the unconscious female eagle to the center of the rope net, and then using two wooden sticks to fix both sides of the rope net, a simple stretcher was made in less than ten minutes.
"Alright, let's get out of here." After the stretcher was ready, the fierce bull gave an order.
In this way, Tata opened the way at the front, and the fierce bull and old Lem followed behind Tata with stretchers, and Pepe followed last, and the three men and one beast quickly evacuated the place. (To be continued)
