Chapter 37: Falconry

In this day and age, the wilderness is not a place to spend the night.

The night breeze cools and the stream whimpers. The forest was always full of endless howls of all kinds, and every shadowy shadow of the trees was like a bloody mouth. After the half moon rose, there were a few more screams in the forest, and the dark shadows in the night sky flew more and more densely.

Lin Ji sat by the campfire, listening carefully to the movements around him, and felt like he had entered a horror set.

He felt broken down after staying in such a place for a day, and he really didn't know how Hu Yi'er had spent several days in it alone.

"It can't go on like this." Lin Ji added some firewood to the fire, and felt that he could not be led by the nose by an eagle.

To the west, hundreds of kilometers of mountains stretch over here, and God knows where that eagle lives? If you chase it like this, you may be scared out of illness by such a terrible night if you don't die in the tiger's mouth.

Lin Ji looked at the back basket, and then looked around, simply lit the fire, got up and folded rattan around it, and used it to weave nets.

In the wee hours of the morning, Hu Yi'er woke up to find that the surrounding vegetation was empty again. A large rattan net was placed on the ground.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Ji stall, who was in full swing, spread his hands: "I'm a little scared, I want to do something to divert my attention." ”

Hu Yi'er pricked up her ears and listened, there were no strange sounds around, and she was surprised: "What are you afraid of?" ”

"This, this, that......" Lin Ji gestured to the voice in his ear, a black shadow in the air.

Hu Yi'er laughed: "This quack is a big-headed bird, which only eats mice and worms...... Look, it flew over from there. It's a black-headed bird, there may have been a wild cat into its nest, it's warning. This is...... Bat...... Listen, there was a monkey that was frightened and cried......"

With Hu Yi'er's explanation, the entire terrifying forest seemed to become transparent. The style of painting on the horror set slowly changed to a prehistoric card ventilation.

Lin Ji also unconsciously squeezed into Hu Yi'er's arms, listening to her tell the stories behind the various voices and dark shadows, as if the whole prehistoric night was brighter, and everything became nothing to fear. He also slowly fell asleep.

Hu Yi'er gradually lowered her voice and looked at the sleeping half-grown child. He shoved his hands into his chest again, and he wasn't breastfeeding, so why did he touch here like a child?

He was obviously able to stand in front of her when he met the tiger, and then he didn't panic, and retreated at her command. Such a person is already considered a qualified warrior in the tribe.

But he is actually like a child, afraid of the non-threatening voices and dark shadows in the night sky? It's weird.

Lin Ji woke up again, and the sky was already bright. Hu Yi'er had already cooked two pheasants and was eating one of them. Seeing Lin Ji wake up, she handed him the other one and motioned for him to eat quickly. Eat well and race with the eagle.

Lin Ji looked at the charcoal-black roast chicken and rolled his eyes. Good stuff is wasted.

Lin Ji slowly went to the stream to scrub and asked, "The tiger was only full yesterday, so it shouldn't come out today, right?" ”

"Probably not." Hu Yi'er didn't know what Lin Ji was thinking, but she was honest.

Lin Ji looked around, made some gestures, and said, "I want you to listen to me today." We're not leaving, we're staying here. If that eagle comes to provoke you, we'll set a trap here and catch it. ”

"Trap?" Hu Yi'er was a little puzzled, how could the trap deal with the eagles in the sky?

"Yes, traps. I thought about it all night last night. Give a flat-haired brute a running ...... We almost got into the tiger's mouth, and that's not what we're supposed to do. I'm going to teach you how to make a trap today, and I'll deal with this kind of eagle in the future. ”

Running after the eagle's butt, what a stupid thing to do? Pity him Lin Ji and follow him for a day. It's really IQ off the line.

In later generations, it was illegal to catch eagles, and Lin Rui had never caught eagles, but the truth was still known.

And it seems that this ghost eagle is on a par with Hu Yi'er, and he shook it yesterday. According to the nature of this eagle, if it still appears today, there is a high probability that it will be caught.

It doesn't matter if you don't catch it today, teach these methods to Hu Yi'er today, and then go back and let her deal with this eagle slowly by herself, there will always be a time when it will work.

And Lin Ji himself felt that he would have to go back after today. He is a burden to follow Hu Yi'er, and the next time he encounters a tiger, he may not be able to escape from the tiger's mouth smoothly.

Lin Ji checked the rattan net that he had woven last night and enlarged it a little. Stones were fished out of the creek and tied to rattan nets.

Then the two joined forces and hung the net on the branches of a tree with thin branches. Place the basket containing the wild cat under the net and set up the trigger. A simple trap is laid out.

"That's it?" Such a simple trap can be understood without explaining Hu Yi'er, and she can't help but feel a little simple. And the net is so obvious overhead, will the eagle come?

Lin Ji said: "If you want to hunt other eagles, it is best to use the thin net we fish, form a circle, and put bait in the middle, so that the eagle will easily get entangled in the net when it takes off after catching the prey." Now we're going to deal with this, so it's okay. Because it's mostly a strategy. ”

Lin Ji tried it himself, and as long as he caught the wild cat, the net would fall. There is no delay. The wild cat was tied up in a basket and couldn't get out.

"Let's go." Lin Ji grabbed his short spear and left with Hu Yi'er.

"Where to go?"

"Let's play."

Playing is not really playing, but wandering around. Yesterday, Hu Yi'er taught Lin Ji something, but Lin Ji didn't learn anything at all, and today Lin Ji asked to learn it again. Hu Yi'er was like a kindergarten teacher, teaching all kinds of things in the forest by hand.

Soon after the sun came out, the ghost eagle appeared above the two of them again, and then hunted around, extremely provocative.

At the request of Lin Ji, the two of them pretended not to see it at all. I didn't chase it.

After noon, the ghost eagle came again, hovering above the two of them.

Lin Ji simply took Hu Yi'er to swim in the pool downstream of the stream, and even the ghost eagle swept past the treetops above the two of them, and Lin Ji also pressed Hu Yi'er to prevent her from touching the bow.

Perhaps bored, the ghost eagle went away again.

Hu Yi'er was worried: "Will it fly away like this?" ”

Lin Ji said: "We have to be patient. If it was willing to fly away like this, it shouldn't have kept you with it for so many days. ”

No matter how cunning this eagle is, it should be no more than the IQ of a child of a few years old. Lin Ji understood the psychology of these children, and knew that this eagle was far away this time, but it was not far from being fooled.

Children, interactions are not responded, and they are not spilled?

Hu Yi'er still didn't know the bottom of her heart: "But it's ......"

Before they could finish speaking, a loud eagle cry was heard from the sky, and the ghost eagle went and returned, rushing like a sharp arrow towards the camp where they had spent the night.

"Quick, it's fooled." Lin Ji laughed and was about to jump out of the pool.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yi'er was faster than him, only to hear a splash, Hu Yi'er had already rushed out of the water, jumped a few times by the stream and disappeared in front of the forest tracks.

Lin Ji didn't hurry to get dressed, took Hu Yi'er's things, and waded up. When I returned to the camp, I saw Hu Yi'er pressing the eagle with a happy face.

The eagle was so large that it was pressed by one of its wings, almost enough to hold Hu Yi'er's body.

Lin Ji walked over, first tied the eagle's beak and talons, and then carried it upside down with a large net.

The eagle in the net is really huge, and its length is probably more than one meter. The bird is on the light side, but this eagle may weigh more than ten pounds. In the future, it may be the overlord of the raptors.

Hu Yi'er plucked several wings and tail feathers from the ghost eagle, held them in his hand as if holding a knife, and said with a smile on his face: "I'll take these back to my Eminem, it's your hunt, and I'll give it to you." ”

Lin Ji looked at the sky and said, "Why don't we leave now and rush back to my Ji Lin Department." This eagle I want to bring it back alive. There is a man in our tribe who is also called an eagle, and he has always wanted to raise an eagle. Let's let him practice his hands first. ”

This ghost eagle is cunning by nature and eats children, so it is not a suitable eagle for training. But there are no other eagles to be found at this time, so let the eagles practice their hands first. It doesn't matter if you're dead. It's probably a headache.

The two of them simply packed up and prepared to hit the road. The wild cat had been tied up for a day and was not dead, so Lin Ji put it back in the basket and was about to carry it back.
