After dancing with the firewood knife in his hand, it was only half a pillar of incense, and the nine monkeys had already put aside 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 of the cave on the top of the mountain. 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 we're lucky today, we'll be able to bring a golden eagle home with us except for those impalas that have been picked up by rope nets! ”

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 birds of prey such as eagles, falcons, eagles, and owls flying in the sky, they can't find many natural enemies that can compete with them, and they have also trained a vigilant and fierce temperament when they hunt on weekdays. It's really a thousand difficulties!

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 open to be more than a person's width, and when flapping hard, one wing can slap the mountain wolf on the head. 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. When hunting in spring and autumn, you can always get a red head!

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 was staring at the blue sky with his head up, the nine monkeys, who also looked at the sky with his neck 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? ”

The eyes stared at the empty sky without blinking. Old Uncle Ye gently tugged the rattan tied to the hind legs of the two hares, and responded to the nine monkeys as if he was careless: "This method has been used by 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! ”

stared at Old Uncle Ye's calm face dumbfounded. The nine monkeys couldn't help but exclaim: "Can this golden eagle be so atmospheric? 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, it is a cub whose hair has not retreated, and it only takes a month to get to the hands of the hunter, and it will starve to death, and it will not move! 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.

Cover your mouth with your 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, how can Uncle Ye understand that it is a golden eagle from such a distance?" ”

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 slowly, touching 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 doesn't see the scene around the prey clearly." I won't do it at all! Wait, it'll come back in a minute! ”

As if to tell Uncle Ye to tell the golden eagle's temperament, it took less than a bowl of tea to make the clear figure of the golden eagle appear in the sky again, hovering around the top of the hole in the ground, and sometimes swooping up a distance. After several rounds of back and forth, the golden statue finally made up its mind, and swooped down on the two rabbits with a sharp screech.

At the beginning of the eagle's chirp, 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 the two hares, the leopard also bowed slightly as if he couldn't hold his breath. lowered his voice and shouted at Old Uncle Ye: "Old Uncle Ye, why don't I take a hand?!" ”

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 walked in the mountains and forests and walked the old scene. Not to mention the leopard who has been in the animal taming industry for a long time, even Han Liangpin, who has a lot of knowledge outside the mouth, can roughly 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 your back. When a pair of sharp claws of the raptor were only an inch away from his belly, a pair of powerful hind legs kicked violently, and he could kick the raptor who was catching the second bird into the air at that time, and even kick the unsuspecting raptor to the stomach!

The swooping golden eagle was about to catch a hare in the blink of an eye, but at that moment, with a dull low howl, a black 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 the 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.
