Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 174 The old man who likes to scare children
This peregrine falcon knows people. Wu Hao has seen many raptors fly over the village, and some will land on the big poplar trees near the village to observe the village.

There are a lot of raptors in Daxing'an Mountains. He has seen several peregrine falcons wandering around his home, and some even landed on utility poles to observe humans at close range.

Birds are the same as land beasts. Some of them only eat meat, some are omnivorous, and some only eat grass seeds and insects.

There are many guns nowadays, but few people shoot these carnivorous raptors because their meat is not tasty.

It can also catch mice, wild boars and wolf cubs, and it can also be regarded as helping humans to look after crops.

Most people will not attack predatory birds of prey. There are so many birds that they can completely attack wild geese and wild ducks.

There are a lot of birds you can choose to shoot, and the carnivorous raptors are not beaten, so they are not very afraid of people.

This peregrine dared to land 100 meters away, and it seemed that it knew dogs, so it was more wary of the two minks when eating meat.

Wu Hao stood in place observing the peregrine falcons, and stretched out his hands to comfort the two minks. Yellow-throated minks are afraid of large raptors.

They are not afraid of peregrine falcons, and predators of similar size cannot easily fight, and if they really fight, they will die.

Animals are not stupid, they will pick the weak to ambush.

If this peregrine falcon doesn't come, Wu Hao almost forgot to raise a falcon, he really complied with that sentence.

I have been fishing for three years, playing with birds ruined my life, once I learned how to drive rabbits away from dogs, I will never return, if I fall in love with eagles, I will look at the sky with tears in my eyes.

People who do these things in future generations will be scolded for not having a serious business. Now he does these things to make money, and the only thing he lacks is an eagle.

He has seen several kinds of domesticated eagles, training peregrine falcons is very rare, goshawks are the most common, and the rest are Haidongqing and golden eagles.

There are different eagles for hunting different animals. The peregrine falcon is the most suitable for catching birds, even though it only weighs about two catties.

Anyone who gets close to its nest is not good. The pelican is 1.7 meters long and is about the same as an adult. Compared with it, the peregrine has only one foot.

But peregrine falcons can kill them.

The average height of Haidongqing is only [-] centimeters. It is suitable for hunting rabbits and deer, and it can also catch foxes.

The god of all eagles, there is only one sea dongqing out of [-] eagles, but it is not an eagle, but a falcon, also called a gyrfalcon.

Flying highest and fastest among eagles.

The golden eagle is nearly twice the size of Hai Dongqing, and the size of the prey it catches is also large. Wu Hao is willing to hunt large prey, and now he prefers the golden eagle.

There are golden eagle cubs in the store now, but they cannot be bought. The breeding season of golden eagles is after March, and he can't explain the origin of a golden eagle now.

The cubs can be caught when they enter the mountains from March to May next year.

Why does Wu Hao like cubs?Because there is no need to boil the eagle.

Any animal has a king, and the golden eagle also has a king. The eagle is proud, and when it dies, it will rush to the sky and then swoop to death.

Even if the adult eagle king is caught, the eagle needs to be boiled first, whoever boils it is not sure, it may send Wu Hao away.

The arrogance of the eagle king, it would rather not eat or drink and starve itself to death than give in, and it takes three years of training to catch an adult eagle before it can cooperate with its master tacitly.

At this time, it is almost ten years old, and it will need to be released in a few years, and the golden eagle cannot always catch its prey.

It is also especially good at eating meat. Even if people can train it, they can't afford to raise it. After three years of training, hunting may not be able to earn back the money for raising it.

And cubs don’t need to be boiled, animals also understand human nature, holding it to feed, familiar with the smell can treat a human as a mother.

Boiling an eagle is to tame the wild nature. The disadvantage of raising cubs is that there is too little wildness, and it needs to be taught to hunt.

Wu Hao likes this peregrine falcon very much. Some people treat a wounded eagle, and after raising it for a period of time, it can be matured.

He didn't think he could even become friends. That kind of person has a natural affinity, and he has a more murderous look.

The peregrine falcon flew away after eating a few bites, Wu Hao guessed that this magpie might have provoked others, after all, magpies, like crows, are cheap.

Nothing to see, he carried the cloth bag back to the camp, and three magpies flew up from the carriage in the distance.

He took the gun and shot them, the distance was a bit far, and he frightened them even if he didn't shoot, and his face was a little ugly when he came to the carriage.

The magpie didn't eat the frozen venison, it ate the rabbit, and even lost one of the rabbits, tearing the skin.

There is no good way to deal with the magpie except to use the trap and drug. It is impossible for him to keep looking at the carriage with a gun.

Get up in the morning and buy a plastic sheet to cover the meat, and then spread the quilt and mattress on it to prevent birds.

Take the gun and lead the dog and the mink into the pasture and continue to catch the rabbits. Today, Da Mao and Er Mao did not work as hard as yesterday.

Even with the temptation of honey, the two of them rested longer, and only 36 rabbits were caught when it was getting dark.

In the afternoon, the peregrine falcon flew nearby to attack the magpies. Wu Hao returned to the camp and circled the carriage. There were footprints of magpies and other birds on the ground.

Several holes were pulled out of the plastic sheeting on the car, which may have been damaged by magpies in the morning, and the peregrine falcons flew to scare them away in the afternoon.

There are too many birds in the pasture, and he can't guard against them. Da Mao and Er Mao have been catching rabbits for two days and don't want to work. He plans to go home tomorrow.

There is a small pasture in this forest, six to seven hundred meters away from the camp, and there are also a lot of thieves from my hometown.

After Wu Hao got up in the morning and finished his meal, he carried the cage into the pasture, cleared an open space with a shovel, put the cage in the middle and set up a door.

Throw two handfuls of corn noodles in, pull the rope into the ditch to the east, and lead the dog and mink to the east of the forest for more than ten minutes.

He hurriedly jumped into the ditch, ran to the side of the rope, lay down on the side of the ditch, and looked at the cage, which was already messed up.

Most of the birds ran to the innermost part of the cage. At the door of the cage, a peregrine falcon had just landed, and it was the magpie that "quacked" in the cage.

Wu Hao watched carefully, this peregrine falcon was very similar to the one we met yesterday, the magpie came down to eat corn noodles, and it might still hunt magpies when it followed.

Walking swaying left and right, it does not enter the cage, but looks around at the door, and it does not fly when it sees someone showing its head in the distance.

Wu Hao didn't know why the magpie provoked it, the birds in the cage didn't dare to fly towards the door of the cage.

As soon as he pulled the rope, the cage door closed and the peregrine falcon flew away. With it nearby, it was difficult to catch too many birds.

Wu Hao went to the side of the cage to observe, and it was less than half of what he caught last time. He took his good hand, Mianzi, to tear open the old hole to catch the magpie.

He ate his rabbit meat, but this time he did not release him. He cut his neck with a knife and threw it into the sky. The wound on the magpie's neck was not deep.

It can still fly to a height of more than 20 meters, then glide far away, and fly to the edge of the grass field before landing.

The peregrine falcon circling in the sky swooped down, stretched out its claws and hit the back of the head when approaching the magpie, then landed on the tree in front of it and tilted its head to look at the human being 200 meters away.

Wu Hao felt that Peregrine Falcon simply wanted to kill the magpie, so he grabbed two old thieves from the cage, crushed them to death and threw them on the ground.

He re-sewed the hole, carried the cage and went back to the camp to pack up and go home. He didn't think the peregrine falcon would follow him.

But I still want to try it, if it eats the discarded bird, maybe it will eat it next time it meets, and even follow him home to eat.

Some things are done to know the result.

The peregrine falcon glanced at the two old thieves and flew away. It didn't even eat the magpie. It had no shortage of food. It was difficult to hunt large raptors, but it was easy to catch birds.

Wu Hao packed up his things and took a look at the peregrine falcon that was still showing off its power in the sky. He didn't feel any regrets. He will definitely raise a bird next year.

Be sure to raise a big guy, and see which magpie dares to bully him.

The black wind moved things slowly, seeing the sky was getting dark, Wu Hao chose to rest, and there were small snowflakes in the middle of the night.

The next morning, when I set up my car to go home, I was still less than ten miles away from the village, and the snow was about to stop.

when he comes home.

In the south of the village, an old man approached the village in a car. He was Mrs. Sun's wife, Lao Liutou.

Although he is over 70, his body is still very strong. He can't stay at home and occasionally goes to the forest farm to pull wood. He is only responsible for driving the car.

Just go to work for a few days every now and then, just to earn some money. The son can support the old couple easily, but he just can't stay.

When he was young, he liked to write and draw, but unfortunately the times did not allow him to do this. Some of his relatives were teachers at the school. When he was in his 60s, he also worked in the school cafeteria in the village.

He likes school very much, he can write and draw there, and he also learns a few stories in a year. He likes children.

Go home and tell stories to children. As he gets older, he likes to tell stories that scare children. Later, when there are no stories, he tries to scare children.

The old Mrs. Sun treated her grandson pretty well, she didn't care about anyone in the rest of the village except Wu Hao, and she was annoyed when there were too many children.

After driving the child away, I quarreled with the old man a few times. Originally, the old Liu was trying to scare the child, and the old lady chased him away.

There are no children to go to his house, the old man goes to work in the forest farm when he can't be free, and occasionally comes back to tease the children.

When I entered the village, I happily greeted the kid who was playing slipperyly against the snow. The ten-year-old and eight-year-old knew him well, and turned away as soon as he agreed.

The other young children didn't answer when they patronized and played. Old Liu was unhappy, and wanted to recruit them when he got home.

He has used many tricks over the years, but he couldn't think of a way, so he got upset and took out the brush that the teacher gave him to write, but he didn't know what to write.

It just so happened that Mrs. Sun asked him how much money he made, and he handed over dozens of dollars, which were earned by working together for more than two months.

After the money was given out, he also remembered what to write. He took out a blank piece of paper and wrote three words, dozens of them.

Feeling self-indulgent, he felt that the writing was good. He was going to the small shop to show off, and the snow had just stopped at this time.

Residents on both sides of the road in the middle of the village will come out to clear the snow, some children help on the road, and some run around.

The snow sweeping is done by my own family in charge of the area in front of my house. Before the old head Liu had time to clear the snow, he grabbed the paper with both hands and walked out while looking at it.

He slipped and almost fell when he went out the door. He was close to the door frame on the left, and hurriedly used his left hand to help, but the paper in his right hand flew out and landed in the middle of the road without grabbing it.

When he stood firm and was about to pick it up, two children chased after him. The child in front avoided the paper, and the four-year-old kid behind him just looked at people.

The road in the middle of the village is reserved for children to play in the snow at the entrance of the village, and the road in front of the small shop has been cleaned very clean.

There is soil under the freshly fallen snow. Children will not fall when they run back and forth, but it is very slippery when they step on the paper.

The little boy squatted down, the little boy was naughty and naughty, he stood up and slapped his buttocks and wanted to run.

"Oh! You stepped on me dozens of times!" Old Liu immediately thought of a way after speaking, and continued to say: "Let your adults lose money!" He stretched out his hand and grabbed the child.

The little boy didn't understand Dozens, but he was taken aback by the old man who suddenly grabbed him. He recognized the old man and asked timidly, "Why Dozens?"

Old Liu was used to scaring children, so he opened his mouth and said, "My paper is worth tens of dollars, let your adults lose money!"

The little boy was hurt by the fall, and the old man had a scary expression, and he was asked to lose money, so he cried.

Old Liu was proud of himself, and when he saw the child crying, he immediately let go, and said in a threatening way: "Go and call the adults of your family to pay for it!"

The little boy ran away after wiping away his tears, not even daring to speak.

"Hey!" Old Liu was happy. He picked up the piece of paper and saw that there was a shoe print on it.

He took the paper home and found another one. This time with a smirk on his face, he wrote three characters, hundreds of them.

The old man took the paper and went out to find the target. He had too many eyes and couldn't just wait and see. He was wandering in the middle of the road when he saw Aunt Zhang's little girl running over.
