Chapter Seventy-Four: The Wounded Eagle Cub
The old man looked at the bird, and then thought about it, and after a while he spoke.
"Chengxin, this should be a young eagle, that is, an eagle cub who is still learning to fly.
"Eagle cubs? Grandpa, how is this eagle cub here?
"There are no eagle nests around here, how can there be an eagle cub? Cheng Xin asked puzzled.
For example, who would let a child who has not been able to walk for a long time go outside to play by himself?
Although the eagle will forcibly push the cub off the cliff and let him practice flying, he will also watch from the sidelines, although he will not help.
Even if this young bird is practicing flying, it should be supervised by a big bird, why is it trapped here? In the surrounding sky, there was no eagle in sight, and Chengxin couldn't figure it out.
"How do I know why she's here? I'm not his grandfather, the old man said angrily.
"There's no eagle's nest here, but a few kilometers ahead, there's a cliff that I've been there when I was younger, and I've seen the eagle, so maybe he's from there.
"How many kilometers ahead is there an eagle's nest? So did this young bird fly out alone to practice flying when the eagle went out to hunt?
"As a result, I didn't have enough physical strength or something, and I fell from the sky and fell into this grass? And then trapped by these vines and can't get out?
But why didn't his parents come out and look for him? Chengxin's crackling was a burst of analysis.
Smack, Cheng Xin was hit on the head by the old man.
Master, why are you beating me? Cheng Xin asked puzzled.
"What are you beating you for? What's the use of you muttering crookedly for a long time?
"Oh, yes, yes, master, you played well, that, what about this little eaglet?
"Looks like I've been hungry for a few days, and my wings are injured, and there are a few other injuries.
"What to do? Either take it home or let him die, the old man said.
Also, this is the only way to do it, if it is rescued and stays in place, then the only thing that awaits this eaglet is death.
Now they have been hungry for days, their wings are injured, and they have nothing to eat, after all, eagles eat meat.
It is also unrealistic to send him back to the bottom of the eagle's nest a few kilometers away, and I don't know if there is an eagle's nest, and even if there is, Cheng Xin and the two of them don't have time to send it over.
Don't look at the distance of a few kilometers is very short, in the mountains, a straight line distance of one or two kilometers, you may not be able to walk five or six kilometers, so you can't send it over.
Chengxin wouldn't let his grandfather stay in the mountains at night with him in order to save the young eagle, and he didn't have anything to eat.
The only thing left is to bring it back, but it will take half a day to go back, can this weak young eagle hold on?
"Master, give me one of your meat buns, I'll go to the mountain spring above to wash the meat foam, and I'll give it to him later."
"Otherwise, we haven't gone back yet, and this thing might burp, mainly because he can't eat anything with salt or taste, and it's easy to spoil his stomach.
Chengxin saw that the little guy who didn't know how long he had been born was a little pitiful, and had the idea of helping.
"Well, there's another one, you can take it.
The old man took out the remaining uneaten bun from the back basket and handed it to Chengxin.
After taking the bun, Chengxin walked towards the mountain spring more than ten meters away.
On the way there, I also cut a bamboo that was only slightly larger than my thumb.
When he arrived at the edge of the mountain spring, Chengxin separated the buns, put all the meat filling in his hands, and then put the filling in this small mountain spring water with his hands to wash.
I threw away some of the green onions, ginger and garlic inside, leaving only some fat foam.
But it's not just fat, after all, some fat meat is also connected to lean meat, isn't it?
I washed it several times in a row, and only one of the bun fillings in my hand was lost, only a round ball the size of a fingernail.
!! Too little, right? Immediately, Chengxin thought of a way again.
He took out his military kettle, unscrewed the cap, and took a few sips of it, leaving about two taels of water.
Then Cheng Xin turned his head to look left and right, and then summoned the divine dragon, ah divine dragon, I want to be young, handsome, and fascinate thousands of girls.
Just kidding, Cheng Xin summoned the Jade Purity Bottle. Then he dripped a drop of spiritual liquid into the kettle, and then shook it twice.
After finishing the matter, he put away the jade net bottle, and walked back with the lost meat foam and a piece of bamboo.
"Master, I'm back, come, help me cut this bamboo and make a groove.
"Hehe, you're not stupid, you know how to get a bamboo, otherwise you'll see how you feed it later.
After speaking, the old man took the bamboo and picked up the firewood knife, and cut it for Chengxin in two or three clicks.
Cheng Xin took the bamboo handed over by the old man, kneaded the small amount of meat filling and put it inside, and then poured some diluted spiritual liquid with a very high concentration into it, and then prepared to feed the young eagle.
Chengxin felt that the young eagle at this time was already very weak, and when Chengxin and they saw him, the cry was a little louder, and he struggled for a while.
Now, the cry was even weaker, and when Cheng Xin stretched out the bamboo containing the meat foam and spiritual liquid, the young bird did not struggle.
However, the eyes are still looking at the bamboo, and they should subconsciously want to guard against this thing that stretches over, but they have no strength to struggle.
This spiritual fluid is different, and it has an irresistible temptation for animals.
When Chengxin stretched the bamboo trough next to the young eagle, he first took precautions, and after waiting for a while, the young eagle actually drank it by himself without refusing, but the action was very slow and slow.
Watching the young eagle drink the diluted spiritual liquid and meat foam in this small trough little by little, Chengxin took out the kettle and poured the rest into the bamboo trough.
Kitty was also very face-saving, and drank it all slowly, and then lay there motionless.
"What's the matter, this drank too much and died? Chengxin said.
"No, it may be that he is full of food and sleep, you look at the vines around here, he is struggling for a while, the old man is on the side.
Hearing what the old man said, Cheng Xin also felt that this was the case, and without thinking too much, he cut off the vines around the young eagle.
With such a big movement, the young eagle didn't react at all, and it seemed that it had fallen asleep.
No matter how much, Chengxin directly reached out and grabbed the young eagle gently, but the other party still didn't react.
In the end, Cheng Xin Cong took out a bamboo basket, which was originally used to hold a valuable fungus, but now it is useless, and it is almost the same for holding things.
Open the small bamboo basket, put the young eagle inside, and then close the lid and put it in the back basket.
There is no way, in this mountain forest, Chengxin can't spare a small bamboo basket in his hand, so he puts it in the back basket.
Looking at his watch, more than an hour had passed since he heard the sound, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, so the grandfather and grandson began to look for it again.
However, luck depended on being used up in the morning, and the two did not find valuable herbs, and the fungus found more than four catties, and dried it for up to half a catty, which could be worth one or two hundred yuan.
Some other miscellaneous wild mushrooms were also found, but these things did not exceed fifty-one pounds.
Seeing that it was four o'clock, Cheng Xin and the old man did not continue to look for it, and gathered at the assembly point in the direction they came.
Today's harvest is okay, a plate of yellow essence of seven or eight catties can also be worth a thousand pieces, and a few catties of matsutake mushrooms found by myself can be made into dry goods There are also two or three taels.
Don't dislike less, this is four or five thousand pounds, one or two is four or five hundred, but others may be cheaper, but it will not be too bad.
In addition to these, there are other miscellaneous mushrooms worth two or three hundred pieces, and a little herb.
