This year's leap August, the lunar calendar has one more month, and next year's spring will be particularly early, and the fifteenth day of the lunar month will be spring. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoToday is the twentieth day of the lunar month, and there are only ten days left before the Chinese New Year.

Despite the beginning of spring, the temperature is still very low in the morning and evening, especially when it is frost again, and the frost wind blows and the cold is pressing. After breakfast, the sun shone into the yard, and Uncle Liang took out the cage and put it under the sun, opened the cage, and let the little rock eagle come out to bask in the sun.

The little rock eagle eats a lot and grows quickly, and after a few months, its grayish-brown feathers have almost grown, and now it has grown into a large eagle.

These few months have tormented him. The eagle wants to feed the new animals, catch fish, shrimp and mice, and trap hares and pheasants, but he is not tired of it. According to Guan Boniang's words, he had never been so concerned about his two daughters back then.

In fact, Uncle Liang did not raise or train eagles, and all his knowledge came from his grandfather's account.

His grandfather, Zeng Xianchun, raised an eagle when he was young, raised it for five years, and then released it. According to my grandfather, it was a rock eagle, fierce and combative, and a master hunter, and the pheasants and hares it caught could not be eaten at home, which was the envy of the mountain catchers (hunters) in the surrounding villages.

I heard my grandfather say that the rock eagle saved his father Zeng Qingwu. At that time, his father was only four years old, one day his aunt took him to play on the mountain road, a five-step snake sneaked up from behind, the aunt, who was five years older than his father at the time, was frightened, watching the snake that devoured his younger brother screamed, just at that moment, the rock eagle fell from the sky, grabbed the five-step snake, and saved his father's life.

It's a pity that some people were jealous, and they were plotted against when they went out hunting. I don't know which red-eyed ghost struck it, and the rock eagle escaped, only one wing was injured, and more than a dozen pieces of iron sand were taken out. Angry and sad, my grandfather searched for a long time to find the murderer, and when he was healed, my grandfather tearfully released him back into the forest.

Influenced by this, Uncle Liang wanted to raise an eagle when he was young, but unfortunately he never succeeded until I picked up the young eagle this time.

Eagles must be kept from young eagles, whose nests are often found on cliffs and are generally difficult to find. It's hard to find you, and it's guarded by fierce parents, so it's hard to get your hands on. So as soon as he heard that I had caught a young eagle that day, he immediately rushed to my house to leave.

As the eagle cubs grew older, Uncle Liang began falconry. The young eagle is first on the roof. He cut a small bamboo tube into two, polished it smoothly and put it on the young eagle's legs, tied it with a strip of cloth and tied a long rope, took the eagle to the roof, forced it to fly down, repeated the training, and when it was clumsy enough to spread its wings and fly, then took it to the mountain, found a cliff, concocted it in the same way, and repeated training until it fully mastered the essentials of flight and could fly freely in the blue sky. Finally, let it hunt, the eagle fights in the sky, the hunting ability is innate, until it can understand the command, each time can bring the prey back to the master, the eagle is tamed.

The sun was shining warmly, and the little rock eagle was pacing in the yard in the sun. Now it is not much smaller than an adult rock eagle, its wings are more than two feet wide when it flies, its curved beak is like a sharp hook, its steel claw-like claws are very sharp, standing in the courtyard with a crisp chirping, eagle eyes are eyed, it is very majestic and majestic.

Uncle Liang squinted pleasantly at it walking and stopping, and at this time, two people came in the courtyard. He looked up and saw that one of the people who came was called "brother" and the other was called "uncle". It was his cousin-in-law Liang Ziwang who came with his nephew Liang Xiaogang. He agreed, turned his head and shouted into the house, "Yulan, brother-in-law is here, hurry up and get some food." ”

Liang Ziwang hurriedly said: "No, no." We came after breakfast, it's not a good weather, it's a Sunday, take Xiaogang to see my uncle and aunt, and by the way, chop two loads of firewood and go back. ”

In the house, Uncle Guan came out to say hello when she heard the sound, Liang Xiaogang walked over, put down a cloth bag on his back, and called his aunt: "Uncle, this is a few liters of glutinous rice and dried dates, my mother asked me to bring it to my uncle and aunt, cook some sweet wine to replenish my body." ”

Guan Boniang took the cloth bag with a smile, looked at him and said, "Yo, I haven't seen you for a few months, Xiaogang has grown taller again and become a man." I said that my brother-in-law is too, just come, what else do you take? We don't have anything to give you if we eat you, it's embarrassing. You sit down for a while, I don't know you're coming, and then we're done eating and putting the bowl away. I'll go in and get some food, and I'll fill your stomachs first. ”

Liang Ziwang said with a smile: "That's just a few catties of glutinous rice, and the team is divided." Sister-in-law, don't bother, we really came for breakfast. ”

Uncle Liang said: "Are you polite to your own family?" Even if you have eaten, your stomach should be empty after walking for more than ten miles. Eat whatever you want, chop wood and come down for lunch. ”

Liang Ziwang knew the character of this eldest brother, smiled and didn't say anything more, to be honest, the bowl of rice he ate at home at dawn had already been digested after walking for nearly two hours.

Liang Xiaogang had already been absorbed by the little rock eagle, and walked up to the rock eagle and asked in surprise, "Uncle, what kind of bird is this?" So big? ”

Uncle Liang smiled: "This is Rock Eagle." Now I am still young, and I have only learned to fly and hunt. When you become an adult, it is really called mighty, and the wings are stretched out three or four feet, then it is called a big mile! ”

"Uncle, where did you catch it? Is there anything else? Liang Xiaogang was obviously attracted by this mighty little guy, and was a little excited.

"What? Do you want to catch one too? It depends on your luck. Uncle Liang looked at him and smiled.

"Brother, don't pay attention to him. You see, he's fifteen or sixteen years old and in high school, and he's still trying to play. ”

Liang Zida, who was in his fifties, interjected busily.

Uncle Liang didn't care, and then said to Liang Xiaogang: "Don't underestimate it's a bird, it's the overlord of the blue sky, it's not easy to catch a little eagle, I haven't caught it for decades, do you think you can easily catch one back?" ”

"What about this one? How did you catch it? ”

Liang Xiaogang became more interested.

"This eaglet was caught by Xianghong, I want to come over, and I have been raising it for more than four months. Just this one, if you want to, you won't be able to ......."

Uncle Liang has a rare and pleasant face. He sold the last dozen acres of mountain land in his family and married his sixteen-year-old cousin to this Liang Ziwang. Uncle Liang has no brothers and sisters, his parents died early, his two aunts married early, his uncle left home to study abroad in his early years, he saw very little, his appearance has long been blurred, and Aunt Xiaojiao also died of illness in the Republic of China for 30 years. He grew up with his cousins and cousins since he was a child, and his relationship is deep, and he is no different from his relatives.

Sixteen-year-old Liang Xiaogang is white, smart and clever, and is in high school in town. Uncle Liang has only two daughters, his cousin has three sons and two daughters, and his cousin has two sons and two daughters, all of whom are prosperous. Several nephews have always been valued by him, but his favorite is this Liang Xiaogang. He is a serious person, and the juniors are a little afraid of him, only Liang Xiaogang has been the most intimate with him since he was a child, and he is not very afraid of him, and he always has to find a reason to see him every once in a while.

The fly in the ointment is that this nephew has been a little weak since he was a child, so Uncle Liang specially passed on a set of exercises to him, so that he can exercise diligently, and now he is a lot stronger.

"Was it caught by Xianghong? Where is he? Liang Xiaogang raised his head and glanced around and asked.

"He went home."

"Oh yes, I heard that my brother accepted the son of Meng Prosperity's family as an apprentice?" Liang Zida on the side interjected and asked.

"Sort of. That guy is clever, has a good understanding, likes to practice martial arts, but it is a piece of material......" Uncle Liang said casually, suddenly thinking of his brother-in-law's thoughts, and immediately stopped.

Liang Xiaogang and I are the two people he has personally taught the exercises so far. can be regarded as his nominal disciple. He knew that his brother-in-law Liang Zida had already had the intention to let Xiao Gang learn a skill from him. But Xiaogang is only a good person, not a good material for martial arts, in today's society, just learn a little self-defense and fitness, there is no need to devote himself to it.

Speaking of the words, he couldn't help but think of the conversation with the drunkard Li Chaokuan.

From time to time, drunkards came to his house to look for me, and took me out at night. Once, the two of us had a more in-depth conversation about me.

The drunkard later told me that Uncle Liang had mixed feelings about my growth. In just a few months, I had occasional encounters and grew rapidly, and he was very happy for me. But after all, I am still young, and I became famous as a teenager, and it is this kind of alternative fame, in today's environment, I am afraid it is not a good thing. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, which is the root of his concern for me.

His concern stayed with me growing up until he told me many years later, and I didn't know about it.
