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

Li Guangkun held the large black eagle, as if he were holding Yue Feng's son for the first time after he was born, his posture was quite stiff.

And so, the man and the eagle sized each other up.

A close-up look at the Black Hawk reveals even more details that are clearly visible.

The great black eagle had sharp, hook-like claws, a beak that gleamed with an eerie light, and black feathers of exceptional quality all over its body.

Every detail captivated Li Guangkun.

After a long while, Li Guangkun finally let out a long sigh of relief: "Tsk tsk, those records and descriptions of good eagles in ancient books weren't just nonsense after all!"
You've really perfected raising that big black eagle!

Brother Yue, you're not that old, but your skill in caring for eagles is truly remarkable!

Yue Feng grinned and said, "It's not that exaggerated. Actually, I don't spend too much time taking care of my two eagles on a daily basis!"
That is, in the initial training stage, you need to put in more effort!
Now that the eagles are completely domesticated, they hardly need any human intervention anymore!
I went to your Yingtun village a few days ago and haven't been home for almost ten days. My wife and brother helped manage Yingtun, and everything was still running smoothly!

Hearing Yue Feng say this, Li Guangkun was slightly taken aback and asked, "Won't your eagle revert to its old ways if it doesn't raise its perch for a long time?"

Yue Feng shook his head: "It doesn't revert to its original nature; at least in the short term, there's no indication that it will revert to its original nature!"

In this respect, falcons are much stronger than eagles!
My two falcons, one black and one white, have never reverted to their old ways since they were trained as hawks. Even during the spring breeding season, they are very affectionate!

"You don't need to spend a lot of time holding the frame on weekdays?"

"unnecessary!
The process of lifting the frame and shoving the face, pinching the food and squeezing the fat, is only done once in the early stages of the eagle-raising stage.

Once a sufficient level of trust has been established between the person and the eagle, there's no need to maintain a friendly relationship by holding the eagle up for extended periods!

Hearing Yue Feng shake his head repeatedly in response to Li Guangkun's specific questions, Old Li's preconceived notions about birds of prey were once again shattered.

"Well, what if there's bad weather and you don't go hunting in the mountains for a long time? What happens to the eagles at home? Are they kept in cages the whole time?" Li Guangkun continued to ask.

Yue Feng grinned: "Keeping them in cages all the time is definitely not going to work! To keep eagles healthy, they need a certain amount of exercise every day!"
This isn't actually difficult for the pair of eagles I have!

"How do we do it? Arrange for someone to take it out and fly it?"

Yue Feng shook his head again, stretched out his arm and patted it. The big black eagle immediately turned its head and jumped back onto Yue Feng's arm and squatted down.

Yue Feng demonstrated on the spot: "We can keep the eagles free right in our yard!"

After saying this, Yue Feng raised his arm high and then slightly lifted it upwards!
The big black eagle and the little white spear have worked together for a long time and have long since developed a tacit understanding with their master.

Sensing Yue Feng's arm movement, the two eagles used the momentum to leap into the air and quickly flapped their wings to soar above the courtyard.

Seeing the eagle casually leave his arm and fly away, Li Guangkun immediately reminded him, "Why did the eagle fly away? Blow the whistle and call it back!"

Yue Feng grinned: "No need to rush to shout."

You asked me how eagles conserve their energy, right? This is the answer!
If you let the eagles fly and play in the air above the yard for one or two hours every morning or evening, the eagles can maintain their peak physical condition.

Once it's had enough playtime, just whistle to call it down and put it back in its cage!

These two eagles receive the same treatment in my care throughout the summer, autumn, and winter. During the spring breeding season, I open the ventilation window above the cage, and the eagles roam freely!

The eaglets have hatched, and both parents will go out to forage for food and raise their young!

Holy crap!

Upon hearing Yue Feng describe how he free-range falcons hunted for food and raised their young, Li Guangkun, even though he was somewhat prepared, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This is like turning a falcon into a domestic pigeon!
In Lao Li's eyes, the relationship between humans and eagles is limited to subduing birds of prey through various means, and then having them cooperate with humans in hunting and seizing prey.

When the work stops, the bond between the person and the eagle cools down quickly, and after a while, they revert to their original state and become completely strangers.

But when it came to Yue Feng, this set of 'business logic' that he believed was definitely foolproof was now completely overturned.

It's already frightening enough that wild birds of prey can breed in your hands, but to let them roam freely is just too much to bear.

Yue Feng was quite satisfied with Li Guangkun's reaction.

After all, everyone has a bit of vanity in their heart. Li Guangkun's reaction gave Yue Feng a clear sense of superiority in terms of business, which made him quite comfortable.

"Don't be so surprised. You haven't done in-depth research in the field of falconry."

Given your knowledge of birds of prey, if you're willing to put your mind to it, you can probably do most of what I've mentioned!
"Eagles and falcons have different temperaments; this is a difference in species, not just a difference in technique!" Yue Feng said modestly.

"Wow, impressive! This trip was definitely worthwhile; I've really learned a lot!"

Li Guangkun sighed repeatedly, his emotions in turmoil.

A few seconds later, Li Guangkun looked up at the sky and saw that the two eagles had become two small black dots, which must have been more than a hundred meters high.

"So how do you get the eagle to come down? By holding food and whistling?"

Yue Feng shook his head: "If you're not in a hurry, let them play in the sky a little longer. If you have something else to do and are in a rush, just blow the whistle to call them down!"

This morning, those two eagles had been flying for over an hour! They've been fed, but it hasn't affected human control of them!

As he spoke, Yue Feng put his fingers in his mouth and blew a long whistle.

Instantly, upon hearing their master's whistle, the two falcons folded their wings and plunged vertically from the sky almost like divers.

Soon, the sound of wings tearing through the air from the high-speed dive came, and two figures, one black and one white, quickly descended from the sky and landed on Yue Feng's arm.

Li Guangkun is also a master falconer, and you can glean a lot of information from the falcons' behavior.

Yue Feng's seemingly out-of-the-sky maneuver fully demonstrated the Black and White Duo's top-tier control capabilities.

When an eagle hears a whistle, it doesn't dawdle, hesitate, or need to be urged, which is much better than an ordinary falconer who holds fresh meat in his hand and calls it from afar.

"Awesome! Before coming here, I, Li Guangkun, had lived for decades and had never been impressed by anyone when it came to eagle training. But today, I am impressed!"

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!

Li Guangkun gave Yue Feng a thumbs-up, completely convinced.

"Haha, Brother Li is too modest! It's just something I did for fun!"

Yue Feng reached out and patted the heads of the big black eagle and the little white spear. The two falcons obediently closed their eyes, letting their master dote on them.

"Hey, didn't you say there were also farms on the mountain?"
"Since we don't have anything else to do this afternoon, why don't you take me to have a look too!"

Li Guangkun slowly came to his senses and became even more curious about Yue Feng's other businesses.

Yue Feng smiled and nodded, pointing to the two motorcycles by the wall and asking, "Okay, I'll take you up the mountain for a spin! Can you ride a motorcycle? We can each ride one."

Li Guangkun grinned upon hearing the suggestion: "Haha, you understand me so well, brother! I can't ride it, but I can learn! You won't find this military sidecar motorcycle anywhere else!"

"Come on, he's a quick learner, he'll pick it up in no time! Let's go try it out on the street!"

"Let's give it a try!"

Yue Feng didn't put the two falcons back in their coop. He simply tossed his arm and let the two falcons fly back into the air.

He opened the gate to the yard, pushed the two motorcycles out, and then began to teach Li Guangkun how to start the engine, how to shift gears, how to twist the throttle, and other details of riding. Li Guangkun learned quickly; after only one demonstration, he immediately memorized every function.

Yue Feng started the engine for him, signaled him to shift into gear and twist the throttle, and the motorcycle started up quickly.

"It's not difficult. This thing is very easy to operate, not much more complicated than a tractor!" Li Guangkun said excitedly as he drew a large circle on the street while holding the handlebars.

"Yes, come with me, let's go up the mountain!"

Yue Feng started his motorcycle and drove Li Guangkun out of the village.

Autumn is the most comfortable season in Northeast China, especially now that the autumn harvest is over and the weather hasn't cooled down yet. It can be described as having clear skies and crisp air.

Yue Feng walked in front, and Li Guangkun followed behind. They went up the mountain along the Chaiji Road and headed straight for the breeding farm.

Fearing that the other party might make a mistake due to their speed, Yue Feng consciously controlled his speed on the way.

About twenty minutes later, the motorcycle stopped in front of the gate of the farm on the mountain.

At the farm, the dogs barked immediately upon hearing the familiar sound of a motorcycle engine.

Yue Feng pushed open the courtyard gate and helped the motorcycle into the yard.

Instantly, the three Azure Dragon brothers, along with their second-generation hunting dog pups, a total of seven or eight, surrounded Yue Feng.

The dogs wagged their tails frantically at Yue Feng, their affection was indescribable.

Li Guangkun didn't understand the ins and outs of hunting dogs, and seeing so many dogs not on leashes, he instantly froze.

"Brother Yue, your dog doesn't bite, does it?" Li Guangkun asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"Don't worry, it won't bite! Everyone lie down and behave!"

Yue Feng gave a shout, and all seven or eight dogs immediately lay down on the ground in unison, none of them daring to bare their teeth.

"Good, go stay by the south wall and don't make a sound!"

Yue Feng praised him and then gave a new command.

Upon hearing their owner's command, the dogs immediately moved obediently to the shade at the base of the south wall and fell silent.

"Wow, you've trained your dog really well! It's so obedient!" Li Guangkun couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this.

Yue Feng shook his head modestly: "My dog ​​training skills are not very good. These dogs are all managed by my master!"

My master is probably not home near the farm. The gate wasn't locked, so he couldn't have gone far. Judging from the sound of the motorcycle, he should be back soon!

As they were talking, Yue Feng looked up at the sky and said to Li Guangkun, "Big Black Eagle and Little White Spear have both come up the mountain. They've got something fun for you to see!"

"Huh? The eagle isn't in its cage?"

"Don't worry, the eagle knows its way home, it won't get lost!"

Yue Feng whistled, and the two eagles, one black and one white, immediately descended from the sky.

Even though he had just watched it once at home, Li Guangkun was still deeply moved when he saw Yue Feng whistling and calling the eagle for the second time.

After the big black eagle landed on my arm, it glanced around, adjusted its stance, and then faced the dogs at the base of the wall, fluffing up all its feathers.

For a moment, it felt a bit like a giant black eagle perched on its owner's arm, surveying the world and inspecting its canine underlings.

When Canglong saw his Black Eagle boss arrive, he immediately started whimpering softly.

Seeing this, Li Guangkun scratched his head: "What does this mean? You dog, do you know Big Black Eagle?"

Yue Feng nodded: "I know him! The dog that was barking just now is called Canglong, and he's the lead dog of our hunting team!"

Big Black Hawk is the leader of the Dog Gang, and his status is even higher than Azure Dragon's!
If you catch a big catch while hunting in the mountains, the big black eagle has to eat it first, and then the lead dog can eat it!

"Azure Dragon, come here!"

At a call, the Azure Dragon immediately wagged its tail and came over.

Yue Feng placed the two falcons, the big black eagle and the little white spear, onto the back of the Azure Dragon.

As a result, the dog stood very steadily, and the two falcons, one black and one white, were also very in sync with the dog, sitting obediently on its back without any resistance.

"This……"

Li Guangkun felt like his brain wasn't working properly.

If it were an eagle, it would be almost impossible to get the eagle and the dog to get along so harmoniously.

It's not that there aren't falconers who want to take their dogs out to falconry, but no matter how hard they try, the results are somewhat unsatisfactory.

Even if you put in a lot of effort, the best you can hope for is that the eagle and the dog won't attack each other, and that's assuming they haven't seen any prey. If they catch the prey and see blood, and the dog dares to fight the eagle for it, the eagle will swat it without hesitation.

Now, Yue Feng's gyrfalcon has become familiar with the hunting team's dogs and can even perch on their backs and act as their leader, which has overturned Li Guangkun's understanding.

"You might not believe me when I say the eagle is the dog's boss! My eagle and dog can work together when they go into the mountains to do chores!"
When an eagle spots its prey, it will return to report the news and guide the dogs in the direction of pursuit!
"It's a little early now. If it snows, I'll definitely take you into the mountains to hunt some big wild animals for fun!" Yue Feng grinned and introduced.

"I believe you! No wonder you can befriend those rich kids from the capital. Your skills in training eagles and raising dogs are simply unmatched!"

This time, Li Guangkun had no doubts and accepted Yue Feng's words without hesitation.

"Haha! When making friends, social status is one thing, but the most important thing is temperament and character! We haven't known each other for very long, but that doesn't stop us from appreciating each other!"

"That's true!"

As Yue Feng and Li Guangkun were talking in the yard, they saw Zhao Dashan dragging a fallen tree back with him.

Returning with Zhao Dashan was Coal Ball, who had completely grown into a large male bear.

"Holy crap! Old man, watch out! A blind bear!"

Hearing the dragging noise, Li Guangkun glanced around and saw the black bear following behind. His hair stood on end, and he grabbed a shovel and rushed to rescue the person.

"Don't panic! This is our own bear, it won't hurt anyone!"

"Come here, let me have a look at the coal briquettes!" Yue Feng hurriedly called out, afraid that they would actually start fighting.

Coal Ball, panting heavily, rushed over like a mountain of flesh as soon as it heard Yue Feng's call, grabbing Yue Feng's leg and licking it wildly.

Zhao Dashan glanced at Li Guangkun and said with a smile, "Xiaofeng, you have friends over? What's your name?"

Although Li Guangkun's reaction was a bit rash and caused a big misunderstanding, Zhao Dashan had a pretty good first impression of this middle-aged man after seeing his reaction.

Seeing an adult bear without being terrified is already better than 90% of ordinary people.

His first reaction upon seeing this was to grab a weapon to save people, not to turn and run for his life. That kind of man is responsible and worth befriending.

"Hehe, Master, this is a new friend I met in Eagle Village, his real name is Li Guangkun! Brother Li, this is my master, Zhao Dashan! All the animals at the mountain farm are managed by my master!" (End of this chapter)
