Chapter 285: Fierce Birds and Beasts (Part II)
Chinese After dancing with the firewood knife in his hand, which was only half a pillar of incense, the nine monkeys had already put away the yellow and discolored vines and weeds, and then spread some newly cut vines and grass blades with some tender green leaves on the wooden cover board of the cave on the top of the mountain. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. Seeing that there was a hole under the vine that could hide four or five people, the nine monkeys stopped, turned their heads and shouted to Uncle Ye, who was watching him busy from a distance: "Old Uncle Ye, do you see this happening?" ”
Holding a hare with his hind legs tied, Uncle Ye strode to the hole in the ground that the nine monkeys had just covered, stretched out his feet and played with the vines and weeds that were quite thick, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's almost the same if there is this!" Go and bring the baskets we are carrying and the bits and pieces on the side, and let's go down to the hole and wait. If you're lucky today....... In addition to those impalas that are called rope nets, we can also go home with a golden eagle! ”
As usual, they followed Uncle Ye into the spacious cave, and Xiang Youbao and the others sat steadily on the few bluestones that had been prepared in the cave, leaning against the retaining wall of the stone chips in the cave, and looking up at the sky with their necks up.
didn't talk too much to Xiang Youbao and the others, Uncle Ye just took out a pair of big gloves made of cooked cowhide from the back basket and put them on his hands, and then beckoned the nine monkeys to tie the other two arms tanned with cooked cowhide firmly to a pair of arms, and then raised his hands and rested a pair of slaps next to the two hares tied on the top of the hole.
But all hunting in the mountains has always been easier to kill than to live, easy to get animals and difficult to catch birds. Especially the eagles, falcons, eagles, owls and other birds of prey flying in the sky, they can't find many natural enemies that can compete with them, and they have also practiced a vigilant and fierce temperament when hunting on weekdays.
Among these birds of prey, the golden eagle is one of the best. The golden eagle that has grown into a small one can weigh three or four catties, and the big one can be ten catties in weight. A pair of wings suddenly opened, and it could be as wide as a person. When flapping vigorously, it can slap the mountain wolf on the head with one wing. A pair of sharp claws with three toes facing forward and one toe facing back, when capturing prey, both claws are down, and can crush the skull of prey alive. In the early years, if the children of the Eight Banners in Sijiu City could get a properly trained golden eagle, they would always be able to get a red head when hunting in the spring and autumn!
But because this golden eagle is fierce and abnormal, it also builds nests on cliffs and giant trees on weekdays, and if you want to get a golden eagle, you have to exchange the lives of hunters in the mountains. Seeing that Uncle Ye raised his head and stared at the clear blue sky. The nine monkeys, who also looked at the sky with their necks up for a while, couldn't help but whisper to Uncle Ye: "Uncle Ye, can you do this way?" In the past, in Sijiu City, I have heard that if someone wants to take down this golden eagle, they have to climb cliffs, climb cliffs, and take advantage of the stall of the golden eagle to take the opportunity to take advantage of the cubs? ”
Staring at the empty sky without blinking, Old Uncle Ye gently tugged at the rattan tied to the hind legs of the two hares. As if carelessly, he replied to the nine monkeys: "This method has been used by some people in the past, but it is difficult to achieve it once in ten times - as long as the golden eagle guarding the cub is disturbed, it can immediately leave the nest and pounce on those hunters who are close to the eagle's nest." If one is not good, the golden eagle has not been able to get it, and it is said that if it is not good, then the Orion will have to ask the golden eagle to take wings and beat it down from the cliff! And this golden eagle holds a grudge, in the past, some hunters took the golden eagle cub home, and wanted to raise the cub to train and call. But the two golden eagles who lost their cubs stared at the Orion for three years, and they didn't stop until they caught the Orion alive and died! ”
Staring at Old Uncle Ye's calm face dumbfounded, the nine monkeys couldn't help but exclaim, "Can this golden eagle be so magnificent? So good to remember? And what about the golden eagle cubs that Orion retrieved? What happened next? ”
Shaking his head slightly, Old Uncle Ye muttered to himself: "This golden eagle has never been an ordinary bird, where can it be raised in the hands of ordinary people?" What's more, the cub whose hair has not yet faded will starve to death in the hands of the hunter in the hands of the hunter for only a month....... It's coming, it's all moving! The eyes of the golden eagle are poisonous. You can see the ground from afar! ”
With a low cry from Uncle Ye, a small black dot only the size of a broad bean suddenly flashed from the sky within the sight of Xiang Youbao and the others, which fluttered in the sky quickly and abnormally, and gradually moved towards the top of the mountain where Uncle Ye and the others were hiding.
Holding his mouth with his hands, the nine monkeys stared at the small black dot in the sky that was gradually getting bigger, pinched his voice and whispered in Xiang Youbao's ear: "Senior brother." From such a distance, how could Uncle Ye understand that it was a golden eagle? ”
His eyes stared at the small black dot in the sky that was getting closer and closer through the gaps in the branches and leaves on the roof of the cave, and Xiang Youbao also pinched his voice and whispered to the nine monkeys: "There are only a few birds in the sky that can fly so fast and so high, especially when this golden eagle flies, it also likes to go around in circles in the sky. Feel the movement on the ground. You can see what this golden eagle looks like when it flies, and remember it carefully! ”
Nodding his head busily, the nine monkeys didn't say much, just stared at the golden eagle that was flying closer and closer, and couldn't wait to engrave every movement of the golden eagle in mid-air in his heart.
In front of the nine monkeys, Uncle Ye slowly pulled the rattan tied to the hind legs of the two hares, and teased the two hares stumbling on the roof of the hole in the ground, looking like ordinary two hares foraging and playing.
As if he had seen the two hare jumping on the ground in mid-air, the golden eagle, which had been wandering aimlessly in the sky, suddenly increased the speed of its flight, and slid diagonally in the direction of the burrow. But when it was about to get close to the left of the cave, the golden eagle suddenly turned over in the sky, flicked its wings lightly and flew in the direction of the side, and in a moment it was almost gone.
Staring at the golden eagle with wings spread and flying away with some trepidation, the nine monkeys jumped up from the bluestone where they were sitting, and their voices were obviously much louder: "Why did you fly away....... Did you see something wrong? ”
Steadily pinching the rattan in his hand, Uncle Ye shook his head slightly while pulling the two injured hares and struggling and bouncing: "The golden eagle is alert, and if you don't see the scene around the prey clearly, you won't do it at all!" Wait, it'll come back in a minute! ”
It seems that Uncle Ye has been told to say the temperament of the golden eagle, and it took less than a bowl of tea. The clear figure of the golden eagle appeared again in the sky, circling around the top of the hole, sometimes swooping up a distance, sometimes flapping its wings and flying high, back and forth for several rounds, the golden statue finally made up its mind, and swooped straight down towards the two rabbits.
Where the chirping of the eagle begins. The two hares who were tied to their hind legs with rattan by Uncle Ye also seemed to know that the natural enemy was coming, but they couldn't escape. Almost at the same moment, the two hares, who had been struggling all the time, lay on their backs in unison, aiming their strong hind legs at the sky.
Just looking at the strange posture of these two hares, Xiang Youbao also bowed slightly as if he couldn't hold his breath, lowered his voice and shouted to Old Uncle Ye: "Old Uncle Ye." Why don't I help?! ”
With the same solemn face, Old Uncle Ye dragged the rattan in his hand vigorously, almost pulling the two hares who were in a posture facing the sky on their backs stretched a pair of hind legs straight, but shouted in a low voice: "No need!" I dragged these two hares on the hind legs, and if this golden eagle suffers again, it will really not be worth the effort to pick it up! ”
Han Liangpin, who also bowed his body slightly, and his face was sallow, did not speak. But a pair of hands were already on the silver horns pinned to the back of the waist, and a pair of eyes were even more fixed on the two hares lying on their backs!
Du Sensei said that it was Uncle Ye who had grown old in the mountains and forests, not to mention the leopard who had been in the animal taming business for a long time, and even Han Liangpin, who was well-known outside the mouth, could probably know that although everything in this world has its own natural enemies, it has always paid attention to mutual restraint. It's like this hare, which doesn't have the ability to hurt the enemy at all, once it is a bird of prey such as an eagle, a falcon, an eagle, and a owl chasing after it, there are two tricks to deal with.
One is to get rid of the pain of the flesh. At the moment when the bird of prey pounced, it swooped forward, so that the raptor's claws grabbed the head and neck and pulled deep into the relatively solid flesh on the body, and then endured the pain and dragged the raptor who grabbed his body on his back and jumped towards the bushes. In a matter of moments, the dense and tough branches of the bush could tear the feathers of the bird of prey to pieces, and in the end it could only abandon the prey it had already received and go away.
The second is to lie on his back, and when the raptor's pair of sharp claws are only an inch away from his belly, a pair of powerful hind legs kick violently. At that time, he was able to kick the bird of prey that caught him in the air, and even kicked the unsuspecting bird of prey to the stomach!
The golden eagle that was swooping down was about to catch a hare in the blink of an eye, but at that moment, it was accompanied by a dull low howl. A dark shadow wrapped in a fishy wind slammed into the manhole cover of the burrow, and almost effortlessly took a hare in its mouth.
Before Old Uncle Ye, who suddenly loosened the rattan in his hand, came back to his senses, the golden eagle that swooped in the air also pounced on the black shadow. The roof of the cave, which was not too strong, suddenly couldn't bear the impact of these two weights at the same time, and it squeaked and collapsed with a bang.......
Almost at the moment when the roof of the cave collapsed, the leopard who was already half-hunched roared violently, and a four-flat horse was tied up under the soles of his feet, with the waist pole facing up at one end, and a pair of arms holding up a cross flower posture, stubbornly resisting the collapsed roof of the cave.
And beside the leopard, Han Liangpin, who was originally sallow and somewhat listless, also quietly pulled out the two silver horns behind his waist, and stabbed towards the black shadow that fell into the hole like lightning, and shouted to Old Uncle Ye and the Nine Monkeys in a low voice: "Stand back against the wall!" ”
At the moment when Han Liangpin's low shout just sounded, the nine monkeys suddenly stretched out their arms forward, hugged Old Uncle Ye's waist and fell on his back. As soon as the back spine touched the retaining wall made of stones in the cave, the nine monkeys had already twisted their bodies in disregard, and protected Uncle Ye in front of them.
