Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Nationwide, there are probably only two eagle handlers with practical experience in training and hunting gyrfalcons: Yue Feng and his master Zhao Dashan.

You've come to the right person.

Yue Feng first trained the Great Black Eagle, and later took care of the Little White Spear. He had enough practical experience to know the approximate training period for wild-caught gyrfalcons.

Yue Feng paused briefly, then looked up and asked, "Young Master Ye, what standards are you referring to when you say they'll be trained for hunting? If it's just basic flying and simple boxing, then it won't take long! But if you want to train them to be like my Black Eagle, capable of joining a hunting team to go into the mountains for real combat and large-scale hunts, then the timeframe will be much longer!"

Ye Xiaojun scratched his head, realizing that his question itself was somewhat problematic.

"If it's a simple boxing match, how long would it take to practice with Pan Fei?"

"If it's just simple flying and boxing, it should be about right in a month or two! There are two main things to look at when training this kind of thing. One is the change in body mass and weight. The faster you lose weight while staying healthy, the faster your training progress will be!"

Secondly, we need to consider the falcon's temperament! Judging from its constant cries after being caught in the net, this falcon is a relatively sensitive individual! It may require extra effort during the subsequent training process!

"What? You mean, this gray spear doesn't have a good personality? It's quite sensitive?" Hearing the implication in Yue Feng's words, Ye Xiaojun frowned slightly and asked directly.

Yue Feng nodded: "That's right! The pair of gyrfalcons at my house, whether it's the black gyrfalcon or the little white gyrfalcon, were much more emotional and temperamental when they first came into our hands than the gray gyrfalcon today! According to personality classification, this falcon belongs to the highly sensitive type!"

"Didn't you just say that this eagle is magnificent and a treasure?" Jinlong couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

Yue Feng grinned slightly: "A good eagle means a good foundation and a high physical talent ceiling! It doesn't necessarily mean that the personality is also good. These are two different things."

Furthermore, a highly sensitive personality isn't necessarily bad! It just requires more careful attention to methods and approaches during training! As long as someone isn't mentally ill, they can always be trained using appropriate methods!

"There are mentally ill people in Eagle City too?" As the conversation deepened, Ye Xiaojun's brows furrowed even more when he heard the word "mentally ill."

Yue Feng nodded: "Rarely, but it does happen! A few years ago, I caught an autumn pine nut. Under normal circumstances, that thing is almost harmless. If you just beat it up for a day or two, it's good to go out and play with sparrows!"

But that little eagle had the crazy personality I was talking about! From the moment it was caught in the net, it started screaming like crazy, and it wouldn't stop screaming whenever its back was touched!
In early May, I could train a fancy hawk in three or four days at most, but that hawk I handled for a whole week and still couldn't land! It was extremely sensitive; even glaring at it didn't work!

"And then what? Did they get cured?"

Yue Feng shook his head: "Later, Eagle made me release him! I've used up all the tricks I could, and there's no way to train him anymore! That's why I named him 'Neurotic'!"

Hearing this, Jinlong clicked his tongue and whispered, "Um... this gray spear we caught today, is it crazy? Its reaction to the net was pretty strong!"

"It shouldn't be that bad! I'll observe it a little longer. Once I'm a bit more confident in it for a day or two, I'll have a better idea! After all, eagles with such neurotic personalities are extremely rare! Falcons are generally more intelligent than eagles, and their personalities are unlikely to be that extreme!"

"Okay! Hopefully it won't get that extreme!"

Yue Feng grinned: "Hehe, you guys have to believe in my abilities! You were wondering how long it would take to train Young Master Falcon? Starting tomorrow, I'll carry him up the mountain! Let's get the training preparations done first!"

"Okay! We'll do it your way! You know what you're doing!"

"That's it!"

……

After a brief conversation, Yue Feng devised a new work plan: let the Grey Falcon rest for the night and start cleaning it up the next day!

The group of guys chatted for a while in the suite, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Yue Feng carried the Grey Spear Falcon back to his room, took a stool inside, laid a soft cushion on it, and tied the Grey Spear Falcon to the stool alone, keeping it at least several meters away from the other birds of prey placed side by side.

It would be a lie for Yue Feng to say he didn't care about the new eagle. That night, Yue Feng rode the falcon until almost ten o'clock before he could no longer keep his eyes open and went to bed to rest.

That night, Yue Feng slept very lightly, feeling unwell all over and unable to fall asleep, tossing and turning.

In the middle of the night, Gray Spear would occasionally scratch the edge of his hat with his claws, and Yue Feng would have to turn over and turn on the light to check, fearing that something unexpected might have happened.

He woke up three times during the night before dawn.

When Yue Feng opened his eyes on time and got out of bed to get dressed, he realized there was a big problem.

Yesterday, Yue Feng fell several times on his way down the mountain. He thought it was just a minor injury and didn't take it seriously. But when he woke up, he felt like he couldn't get up.

His shoulders, elbows, and wrists were all incredibly sore. What worried Yue Feng the most was the area around his right ribs, where he could feel obvious discomfort even with slight exertion.

"Jinlong! Jinlong!! Jinlong, come here quickly!" Yue Feng realized something was wrong with his body and dared not move anymore. He shouted at Jinlong, who was in the next room.

Jinlong was half asleep when Yuefeng woke him up, and he thought it was Yuefeng calling him to get up as usual.

"What's wrong, Xiaofeng? Is it time? Sleep for three more minutes, then get up!" Jinlong climbed out of bed, his eyes still closed, and casually replied.

"Jinlong! Wake up, damn it! Get up now, I think I've hurt myself!" Yue Feng shouted again.

Upon hearing this, Jin Longteng sat up abruptly from his bed, quickly pulled up his pants, and, wearing only a tank top, rushed into Yue Feng's room next door.

"Xiaofeng, what's wrong? Do you feel unwell somewhere?"

Jinlong tried to open the door several times but couldn't. Last night before going to bed, Yuefeng locked the door from the inside.

"I locked the door from the inside. Go to the front desk and get the key! I think I've broken a rib!" Yue Feng said clearly.

Jinlong immediately turned around to get the key, and only after getting the key did he open the door from the outside.

"You said you broke your ribs? How do you feel now?"

"I'm afraid to move this side, because it hurts like hell. This kind of pain is different from ordinary skin pain!" Yue Feng described truthfully.

What about the arms, legs, shoulders, and lower back?

"These areas also hurt, but it's bearable! It must have been from yesterday's fall; it's a soft tissue contusion!"

Jinlong said anxiously, "Wait here, I'll go find a doctor to take a look. Don't move around on the kang (heated brick bed). If it's a fracture, it's no joke!"

Yue Feng was, after all, a hunter with practical experience, and he knew just as much about the care of fractures and injuries as Jin Long. So when he felt something was wrong, he didn't force himself to get out of bed, but instead shouted for help.

Hearing Jinlong say that, Yuefeng replied, "Okay, I won't move! Go find a doctor to check me out!"

"Wait here, I'll go get help right away!" Jinlong said, then turned and left the house.

First, Jinlong went to Ye Xiaojun's room next door and woke him up to come and watch over the injured. Then, Jinlong went to the front desk to inquire about relevant information. After learning the location and general situation, Jinlong drove away from the guesthouse and headed straight for the city hospital. An hour later, Jinlong drove back, accompanied by the head of the surgical ward who had been on duty at the city hospital's emergency room the previous night.

"Director Wang, could you please take a look at my brother? He seems to have a fracture!" Jinlong said very politely.

Director Wang had already learned the general situation on the way. When he arrived at Yue Feng's room, he first noticed the large number of birds of prey tied up in the room, and then he looked at the person lying down.

"What...why are there so many eagles chained up in the house?!"

"We came to Yingtun under orders from our superiors to carry out raptor hunting work! This comrade is one of our core business personnel!"
"Yesterday, he fell several times while chasing an eagle down the mountain! When he woke up, his ribs were throbbing with pain and he couldn't move!" Jinlong explained the situation in a very organized manner.

"What's wrong with you? Describe it to me in detail!"

Yue Feng forced a smile and said, "My wrists and elbows are sore, but I can twist and move them. My shoulders are sore, but I can also move them! These areas should be fine!"
What I'm unsure about is my right rib area, around the fourth or fifth rib! I think I bumped into that spot when I fell yesterday, and it was a little uncomfortable, but I didn't think much of it! When I got home to rest last night, I turned over in bed and the pain got worse!

I woke up and now I'm completely unable to move in this position. Even the slightest movement causes intense pain!

Upon hearing Yue Feng describe the location of his pain so precisely, Dr. Wang was slightly taken aback: "Don't move, let me examine you! Just tell me where it hurts!"

"it is good!"

Dr. Wang very professionally examined the entire arm, starting from the wrist, and found no major problems.

When the pressure was applied to the injured rib area, Yue Feng shouted loudly.

"Right here, it hurts! Ouch! ~~~"

"What kind of pain is it? Is it radiating pain? Or is it skin and flesh pain? Or is it pain in the fascia inside?" Dr. Wang continued to ask.

With just two seconds of gentle pressure, Yue Feng was already pale with pain, and cold sweat was pouring down his face.

He took a deep breath and said, "Yesterday it was a mild pain, like a side stitch or a muscle strain!"

Now, if I roll over and this area is involved, or if you pressed and touched this spot just now, it feels like a sharp, tearing, bone-piercing pain!

"With you pressing like that, I'm almost afraid to breathe too hard!"

After listening to Yue Feng's description, Director Wang nodded.

"How is it, Director Wang?" Jinlong asked Ye Xiaojun with concern.

Director Wang said with certainty, "Based on the initial examination, your colleague's arm and shoulder areas don't seem to have any major problems. It should be a mild soft tissue contusion, and it should ease up after a few days of rest!"
The location of the ribs is quite risky; I suspect there might be a fracture! In severe cases, it could even be a broken rib!

"A fractured rib? Is it serious?" Upon hearing this assessment, Jinlong and Ye Xiaojun's expressions immediately changed.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. A fractured rib is no small matter, and in severe cases, it can take several months to heal.

"Whether it's serious or not can only be determined after taking X-rays! However, your friend is in very good physical condition, with very strong muscles and bones, so to some extent, the injury may be less severe!"

"Okay, let's take him to the hospital for an X-ray first! Xiaofeng, just bear with it, we'll carry you to the car on a stretcher!"

Yue Feng can no longer pretend that nothing happened.

The pain in the ribs is not something that can be resisted by willpower; the body's protective mechanisms have already caused local muscle dysfunction at the injury site.

"Okay, I'll feel more at ease if I go and see!" Yue Feng replied.

Soon, the three men carefully lifted Yue Feng onto a stretcher, and then, with considerable effort, moved him to the back seat of the car.

Yue Feng endured the awkward position of lying flat on his back and went to the hospital.

After a series of professional examinations, the results came out around 8 a.m.

Minor fracture of the fourth and fifth ribs on the right side!

The situation is much better than expected; it's just a minor fracture, far from a rib fracture.

Even so, Yue Feng could no longer go back to the guesthouse to play with the eagle.

On the spot, Ye Xiaojun and Jinlong completed the hospitalization procedures for him.

In Jinlong's words, regardless of the severity of the injuries, since they've already caught Gray Spear, it doesn't matter whether they go to work on the mountain or not. They should first get some anti-inflammatory IV fluids at the hospital for a few days to treat their injuries.

Just like that, Yue Feng went from a vigorous and capable hunter to a patient on an IV drip in a short period of time.

At 8:30 a.m., Secretary Li received the news and brought fruit and snacks to the ward.

Yue Feng had already changed into his hospital gown and was lying sprawled on the bed with an IV drip of anti-inflammatory medication.

"What happened? Is the injury serious? You were fine when you came back last night, weren't you?" Secretary Li asked with concern.

Yue Feng's lips twitched slightly, revealing a somewhat forced smile: "It's nothing serious. I fell while chasing the eagle yesterday and hit my ribs on a rock! The X-ray showed a minor fracture, but I'll be fine in a few days!"

Secretary Li's face was serious: "I heard from the people down the mountain that you were injured while chasing that top-quality falcon! What kind of spirit is this? This is the fearless spirit of sacrificing your own safety for the sake of the organization's work! Comrade Yue Feng, we should all learn from you!"

In just a few words, Secretary Li elevated the matter of Yue Feng's injury to a whole new level, making Yue Feng feel strange and somewhat amused.

For the next two days, Yue Feng settled into his hospital room and became a patient.

Since there was no fracture, the IV drip was mainly for anti-inflammatory purposes. Yue Feng obediently lay in bed to rest, and by the third day, the severe pain had begun to gradually subside.

During these three days, Jinlong and Ye Xiaojun completely put aside their serious business of catching eagles and stayed by Yue Feng's bedside almost every step of the way.

Only when Yue Feng's symptoms were significantly relieved and he was able to get out of bed and walk slowly while holding onto the headboard did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, with a young body nourished by various whips, wines, and delicacies, Yue Feng's recovery ability far surpasses that of ordinary people his age.

For an ordinary person, this kind of injury would require at least a week of bed rest.

Yue Feng, on the other hand, was able to get out of bed in just three days; the difference was enormous. (End of Chapter)
