Instinctively, Lu Lu suddenly retracted his hand and saw a long, slender and deep blood groove on his palm. The skin and flesh were rolled up, and blood flowed like a heavy stream for a while.
What sharp claws!
Lu Lu randomly grabbed some soil and pressed it on the wound to stop the bleeding, but his eyes were focused on Hai Dongqing's claws, which were struggling desperately in the net.
When he saw it, he was stunned. He discovered that the sharp claws of this sea turtle and the hook-like nails on its toes were as clear as white jade.
The sharp nail on one of the toes has been dyed blood red.
Seeing Lu Lu's success in closing the net, Zhao Tuanqing and Chen Xiuyu also rushed over. Zhao Tuanqing even had to run.
When he arrived next to Lu Lu, looking at Haidongqing in the net, he laughed loudly: "You boy are so lucky, these are the best white jade claws in Haidongqing! There are many old tricks for catching eagles, and they will last a lifetime.
You may not be able to see it once, what kind of bullshit luck is it?”
White jade claw?
Lu Lu looked at Hai Dongqing's paw again.
"I heard from the elders that Haidongqing has autumn yellow, wave yellow, three-year-old dragon, and white jade claws. If you catch this one, it has more white feathers and fewer black spots. The color of its coat is like mist, with a hint of green.
, although it is not pure white, but it is still quite beautiful. The key is that the claws are amazing, but they are extremely rare white jade claws.
The white jade claws are divided into large white jade claws and small white jade claws. The small white jade claws refer to the jade-colored nails on the back toes, while the big white jade claws are the ones with all the nail caps as transparent as jade... This is the best white jade claw, don’t worry.
The claws of sea green are usually gray-black... beautiful, so beautiful!"
The more Zhao Tuanqing talked, the more excited he became, and his expression was extremely excited.
The focus of Chen Xiuyu's attention was not on the sea turtle, but on Lu Lu, who was covering his palm with mud to stop the bleeding, and asked with concern: "Brother Lu, are you injured? Show me quickly!"
As she spoke, she knelt down and took Lu Lu's hand and looked at it. She was shocked when she saw that the blood had soaked the soil covering the wound and would flow down at any time: "Why is it hurt so badly?"
Lu Lu forced a smile: "When I caught Hai Dongqing, I was scratched! It's okay."
"She said it was okay..." Chen Xiuyu glanced around, ran to the ground with her child in her arms, picked up a handful of mugwort leaves, and without thinking, stuffed the mugwort leaves into her mouth, chewed them a few times, and spit them out.
Then he returned to Lu Lu and turned to look at Zhao Tuanqing: "Dad, give me some cigarette noodles!"
When Zhao Tuanqing was called by Chen Xiuyu, he turned his attention away from Hai Dongqing. He looked at the injury on Lu Lu's palm, quickly took out his purse, shook some cigarette noodles out, and sprinkled it on Lu Lu's wound.
The smoke surface has a hemostatic effect. As soon as it falls on the wound, a sharp pain rushes into Lu Lu's heart, making him grin. Chen Xiuyu then pastes the chewed mugwort into paste, takes out a handkerchief and gives it to Lu Lu.
Lu Lu bandaged it.
Artemisia seeds may seem ordinary, but they are also good for extracting artemisinin.
Needless to say, the combined use of the two has a pretty good effect. The bleeding really stopped after being treated like this.
"Go and rinse your mouth quickly!" Lu Lu urged Chen Xiuyu.
The taste of mugwort is pungent and bitter, and it must be very uncomfortable to chew it in your mouth.
"Yeah!" Chen Xiuyu nodded and walked towards the river at the end of the field.
Zhao Tuanqing slowly tightened the fishing net, trapping the sea turtle until it could no longer move, then wrapped it in the coat he took off and hugged it, looking at it carefully.
Those sharp claws and beak are quite painful if you touch them casually, so you have to be careful.
"This is the little Haidongqing that came out this year. Look at the mouth. It's still a little yellow and soft. If it's an adult, it's much more ferocious and hard than this one." Zhao Tuanqing concluded.
Lu Lu nodded. He himself felt that it was too easy. Perhaps only young birds could be fooled that easily.
The seaweed lays eggs from May to July, and hatches in about 30 days before hatching. It takes about one and a half months to feed and leave the nest. Calculating the time, this seaweed probably only left the nest not long ago.
The shape of the moon.
Although his understanding of Haidongqing in his previous life was not in-depth, he still had some superficial knowledge.
In fact, in ancient times, sea green didn't refer to any particular kind of bird. It referred to the one that stood out among all the eagles. This one was the fastest and most ferocious, and stood out among the eagles.
This is like the wolf king among wolves.
Haidongqing can be divided into ordinary and top-quality Haidongqing. The top-quality Haidongqing is the king of kings and the god of eagles.
In fact, whether it is the best or not depends on people's subjective judgment based on the eagle's appearance, coat color, talons, etc.
However, the sea turtle caught now is unique and handsome in appearance, making it stand out from many eagle species.
But in fact, sea greens are gyrfalcons. In ancient times, there were special eagle hunting camps in China. They hunted eagles all year round, which made sea greens that were already rare in the country even less. However, there are still some sea greens in Lao Maozi and Yingjiang.
Quite a few.
Haidongqing has a small body, flies as fast as lightning, has a brave and fierce temperament, and is good at fighting big ones with small things. In the early years, when hunting with a knife and bow, it was a good helper for hunting rabbits and catching birds.
But this is not the reason why Haidongqing appears valuable in the first place.
Everyone knows that hounds are better at helping people hunt. Although there is a saying in the Northeast that "hawks and dogs are priceless", the value of hounds is far behind that of Haidongqing.
If you must hunt with birds, the Golden Eagle far surpasses the Triton in terms of strength and speed, and is easier to obtain than the Triton.
The reason why it is valuable is actually that at the beginning, it was used to hunt swans.
This is a big bird three or four times larger than Haidongqing. It likes to eat river mussels very much, and pearls can be found in river mussels from time to time. When swans eat the meat of river mussels, they will eat the pearls together.
Pearls cannot be digested in the crop, so some people tame the sea turtle, hunt and kill this swan with strong flying ability, and obtain pearls from the crop.
To put it bluntly, it was valuable from the beginning because it could help people obtain pearls.
Coupled with the various beliefs of later generations, the praise and blessings of totems and emperors, Haidongqing has become an existence that is beyond the reach of ordinary people and extremely expensive.
The same goes for Lu Lu. He actually never thought about using this sea green for hunting. He only caught it because it was beautiful and valuable.
The purpose is very clear, keep it and wait for the destined person to come to your door.
The lifespan of seaweeds is long. They can survive for more than 20 years in the wild. If they are kept at home, they will only be longer.
It's okay to tame them and take them out for hunting occasionally.
Being able to eat and resisting hunger is a very good advantage, and it is not that laborious to raise.
Of course, in order to make it more valuable, it must be well tamed.
Why is it said that there may only be one Haidongqing out of a hundred thousand eagles? Because the initial method is to select one from a bunch of captured eagles for training, and eventually it becomes a Haidongqing who is able to use his arms and fingers, and is brave and good at fighting.
The probability is comparable to the selection of special forces, and the training requirements are extremely high, which is why it is rare.
To tame a Triton, both humans and eagles have to work several times harder. It is quite difficult to make an already outstanding Triton become the "God of Eagles" and stand at the top of the pyramid.
.
Now that Haidongqing has been caught, the show can begin.
Therefore, when Lu Lu turned to look at Zhao Tuanqing, Zhao Tuanqing immediately knew what Lu Lu wanted to say.
"Don't point to me to help you with your eagle training and training... I'm a lot older and I can't stand it!" Zhao Tuanqing shook his head.
"Don't they say that older people have less sleepiness?" Lu Lu asked with a smile.
"I'm not. I always sleep very well and never get enough sleep!" Zhao Tuanqing denied it.
"This is Haidongqing..." Lu Lu emphasized as he looked at him holding Haidongqing in a very strange manner.
"It's not even Haidongqing... You kid, don't think about relying on me. It's better to tame it yourself. I can teach you how to tame it, and I can also help you with a little help. The things are your own."
."
Zhao Tuanqing said: "Don't underestimate the hunting ability of Haidongqing. It can hunt many things, including swans and big birds flying in the sky, deer and jumping cats running on the ground.
However, despite its small size, it is really strong and flexible. If it is tamed, according to you Han people, it will be a 'fisherman's profit'. For example, catching martens, fishing, etc.
They are all good at catching flying dragons..."
When Zhao Tuanqing said this, Lu Lu was really moved.
Thinking about holding Huang on the left and Qingcang on the right, I think it would be pretty good too.
"Okay, I'll do it myself!"
Lu Lu saw Chen Xiuyu coming from the river and was about to go home: "Come, come to my place, you have to teach me how to survive and train the eagle."
Zhao Tuanqing smiled, hugged Hai Dongqing, followed Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu back to the warehouse, and then rode back on horseback.
After returning home, Lu Lu washed the wound on his hand again, found the wound medicine prepared at home, applied it to the wound again, wrapped it with gauze, then took the child and held it, and asked Chen Xiuyu to prepare the meal.
Zhao Tuanqing went home to pick up the training tools he had left behind when raising kestrels and brought them to Lu Lu.
After Zhao Yongke heard that Lu Lu had caught a sea turtle, he also went to Lu Lu's house to see it. He was also very surprised.
The father and son helped each other to take Hai Dongqing out of the fishing net and tied him first.
Because Hai Dongqing's ankles were thin and easy to be strangled, Zhao Tuanqing asked Chen Xiuyu to find a piece of cotton cloth, wrap it in two layers for cushioning, and then tie it with a thin rope he had previously braided with deer tendon thread.
Zhao Yongke used a chain saw and went outside to get a tree trunk with a branch. When he came back, he placed Haidongqing on the branch and tied it with a string.
As soon as he let go of his hand, Hai Dongqing immediately started flopping on the kang, but with his strength, he was unable to shake the dozens of kilograms of tree pillars.
"This Haidongqing has a big temper and is very wild. It becomes even more temperamental after being tied up. It is very easy to hurt people with its mouth and claws. You have to be careful not to get too close. The key is that this thing is very picky about food. Let's endure it."
Even if you leave it alone without food or water, you can't let it sleep. You need to sharpen its spirit and arrogance!"
Zhao Tuanqing said, glancing at the three lynxes that were watching eagerly: "There are also these three lynxes, you have to be careful, don't get bitten by them."
"Boiling the eagle" is a very common word in life. If a person does not eat, drink or sleep, it is said that he is "cooking the eagle".
As for the real Naoying, according to what Zhao Tuanqing said, it was the same thing. It was nothing more than making Hai Dongqing mentally depressed, tortured by being trapped and hungry, and had to bow his head.
"How long will it take?" Lu Lu asked.
"If it's an adult, some need to stay up for seven or eight days, and some need to stay up for half a month. However, this sea green is still young. I estimate that it should only take four or five days to get it done. Wait.
It won't be able to stand firmly on this ridge and will fall down. It will eat whatever it wants. When it is not so aggressive, it will be done."
"Four or five days... it's not that long. Dad, it's going to be troublesome these two days. You just have to live on this big kang. We, the two of us, are taking turns. I don't believe we can't cure it!" Lu Lu said with a smile.
.
The palm of his right hand is injured, so he probably won't be able to do much in the past two days. It's good to take care of the children and stay up for a while.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong. Lu Lu quickly asked: "Dad, I seem to have heard someone say that when the eagle is boiling, you have to look at the eagle. When the eagle loses, it will be considered successful."
."
"The one you're talking about is a goshawk (yellow eagle). Different eagles have different cooking methods. It's not that complicated. You just need to give it whatever it wants to eat. It just doesn't attack when people touch it!"
Zhao Tuanqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have an old hawk catcher I know in Yingtun in Changbai Mountain who taught me the method. This is how I managed to catch the kestrel before. The method is easy to use."
