The arrival of Tang Liyun and his son was a start, but the arrival of Wu Wangang and his wife seemed to open a floodgate.
In the days that followed, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit those who wanted to learn how to breed geese and those who were planning to buy geese.
Sometimes, when Lu Lu was at home for a day, several waves of customers would arrive. Even Tian Youcheng from the Siguang Restaurant in the district came once to see the goose breeding and wanted to buy some from Lu Lu.
Go back and save it.
Seeing that more and more people are coming to buy wild geese, Zhang Shaofeng and others are very happy. They don't have to worry about raising wild geese in the coming year. They even start to think about whether to expand another one.
However, Lu Lu took into account issues such as the surrounding carrying capacity and illness, explained the reason to several people, and temporarily suppressed it.
Wild geese are so edible.
Three or four geese can even eat as much as a domestic pig.
More than ten thousand geese were released, and the place they passed was really like a wind and clouds, and they were ravaged in a bad way. Even if they were fed corn grass crushed by a grinder and mixed with grain, Lu Lu did not dare to let them go to eat.
, the daily consumption is staggering. Fortunately, the number of wild geese is constantly decreasing, and the pressure is getting smaller and smaller.
If the current situation continues, it is estimated that all the wild geese will be sold out once the Spring Festival is over. This is also a good thing, so that everyone can have a good rest for a few days.
There were so many people visiting that Lu Lu himself felt a little bored. He felt that the peaceful days he had sought to settle down in Caodianzi seemed to have been suddenly broken.
Seeing that Chen Xiuyu was handling these people well, Lu Lu simply took some time out of his busy schedule, called Zhao Yongke and Zhang Shaofeng who had nothing to do, and rode into the mountains.
After nearly a month of training, Hai Dongqing, who had already finished restraining his waist, has become quite obedient in Lu Lu's hands. He is preparing to go to the mountains for the final training - flying eagles.
Hunting training, people in Dayulou Village call it falconry.
It is also the "final" examination of Haidongqing.
If it succeeds, it will be considered mature and ready for hunting.
The three of them rode horses slowly, seven or eight miles deep into the mountains, and arrived at a valley in the mountains with grassy slopes on both sides.
Lu Lu heard Yuan Bao's cries, which reminded him that there were wild animals in the valley. He reined up his horse and stood in the valley to listen quietly. He could also hear the cries of Shaban chickens and pheasants coming from inside.
"Let's just go here. The place is open and convenient for Bai Yu to use... Third brother and fourth brother, I'll climb up the hillside later. You two are responsible for driving the stick from the opposite side to scare out the pheasants or sand half chickens inside. I'll release Bai Yu...
...Whether I can make it or not depends on this time, but don’t give me a blow as soon as the rope is untied and let me fly away, never to come back. Then my almost one month of training will be in vain!”
Lu Lu felt somewhat uneasy.
These are white jade claws!
If such a precious and top-quality sea green is taken away, it would be equivalent to losing a lot of money at once!
The so-called driving stick is a method commonly used by hunting teams when hunting. The hunter ambushes in a specific place, and then has people drive the prey in a predetermined direction, and then hunt.
Earlier, when Lu Lu led Chen Xiuqing into the mountains to collect black bees and come back to breed them, he also met several people from Huilongtun who were leading their wives in the mountains to drive the prey toward the preset ropes, ground arrows, and ground.
The place where the gun and other traps run is the same.
To put it bluntly, it is hunting.
Of course, for Lu Lu and others, they are very experienced people with semi-automatic weapons in their hands. They can definitely find prey and hunt them selectively. There is no need to use such a hit-and-miss method.
"Probably not, my Ama said, this sea turtle has been tamed very skillfully!" Zhao Yongke said with certainty.
Zhang Shaofeng said with a bad smile: "Get your slingshot ready. If it dares to run away, shoot it down..."
Lu Lu smiled and shook his head: "I can't bear to do this. If I hit it lightly, I'm afraid it will have no effect on it. If I hit it hard, I'm afraid it will damage the muscles and bones and make them useless. I have to keep them up every day... Well, it depends on fate!
"
He said, jumped off Chasing Feng, and walked towards the hillside from one side.
Zhang Shaofeng and Zhao Yongke each chopped a wooden stick with a knife, and then walked around to the opposite hillside from the side.
When they reached the hillside, Lu Lu gently untied the tendons tied to Bai Yu's ankle. Seeing that the white jade on his arm showed no intention of flying away immediately, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Slowly he rolled the tendons into a roll and tied them up, then quietly watched Zhang Shaofeng and Zhao Yongke climbing up the opposite hillside.
When the two of them arrived at the place, they glanced at Lu Lu and saw that Lu Lu was ready and waiting. They started to drive them down into the grass and bushes with sticks in hand.
Not long after, five or six sand half chickens were frightened and flew up from the grass with fluttering wings.
Seeing this, Lu Lu took a deep breath, and the right arm holding Bai Yu shook violently.
It felt like Lu Lu was throwing food, and now, those chickens flying up in fright were the food thrown by Lu Lu.
Bai Yu suddenly flapped its wings and flew out.
"But I must come back!" Lu Lu prayed secretly in his heart.
The white jade was like an arrow, flying towards the flock of flying Shaban chickens. When it approached one of the Shaban chickens that it had locked, it flapped its wings, and when it was about to fly high into the air, the white jade flew towards it.
Half of the chicken fell down after being beaten.
It didn't seem to be much harmed. The Sand Half Chicken fell three to four meters, vibrated its wings violently to stabilize its body, and continued to fly away. However, Bai Yu, who was following closely, clawed at the head, and its feathers flew off.
This time it must have been severely injured. The sand half chicken fell directly from a height and fell into the grass below.
At this moment, Bai Yu's wings converged and she dived in pursuit.
Lu Lu stood tall and could see clearly.
The Shaban chicken was grabbed by Bai Yu's claws by the neck, and then he lowered his head and pecked the head of the Shaban chicken.
Amidst the crisp ringing of the bell, the chicken flapping for a few times then stopped making any movement.
"Bai Yu... come back!"
Lu Lu shouted loudly several times, but Bai Yu didn't show any respect at all, as if he didn't hear anything. All he could hear was the tinkling of copper bells in the grass.
Could it be that this guy just started eating a big meal down there? If so, the rope running training during this period would be in vain.
When the falcon catches prey, it rarely gives up the prey. The purpose of running the rope is to train it to catch the prey through reward and feeding, so that it can catch the prey when it hears the call.
For this reason, Lu Lu specially went to trap a few sand half chickens and brought them back. He first trained and rewarded them for hunting in his spacious barn, and then moved them to the meadow.
I was doing very well before, but when I got to the mountain, I couldn't do it anymore.
Especially in order to fly the eagle today, Lu Lu deliberately starved it for two days to increase its hunting instinct.
Bai Yu, who had been hungry for two days, was full of murderous intent. All the way into the mountain, when he saw small animals running by, he kept flapping his wings and jumped up.
Lu Lu wondered if it was too hungry and just wanted to eat?
If you let it eat it, it will form a habit when it catches prey in the future. The first thing it does is to eat it. If it is farther away, the prey will be eaten badly by the time people arrive.
"White jade..."
Lu Lu shouted while running towards Hai Dongqing.
Just when he was filled with disappointment, Bai Yu flew up with his wings, and flew back with his claws holding the limp and completely motionless Shaban Chicken.
Lu Lu took the Shaban Chicken, and then Bai Yu converged his wings and landed on Lu Lu's arm. He quickly took out his hunting knife, and directly opened the head of the Shaban Chicken, which had been pecked out by Bai Yu, from the eye socket, and took out the brain.
It was fed to Bai Yu. The rest was directly put into the hunting bag by Lu Lu and carried on his back.
"Huh...is this done?" Lu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he shouted to Zhang Shaofeng and Zhao Yongke opposite, and the three of them continued to go higher and deeper into the valley. When Yuanbao's cry came, Lu Lu immediately estimated the approximate location of the prey and chose the location.
Then, he gestured towards the two of them.
Zhang Shaofeng and Zhao Yongke came down from the hillside again to catch their sticks.
This time, what was chased out was a jumping cat.
Suddenly frightened, the jumping cat panicked and ran towards Lu Lu's side of the hillside.
Don't let the bird catch the prey when it comes towards you. This is a very particular question.
Birds of prey fly head-on, rushing toward their prey like lightning. The speeds of both sides are extremely fast. Birds of prey often miss when they attack. Moreover, once they collide, it is easy to suffer injuries such as broken wings and broken feathers.
The jumping cat ran up to him, and he would definitely not be able to release Bai Yu. Lu Lu stood on a high place and just roared, scaring the jumping cat and turning around and running away from the mountain.
Lu Lu looked at the terrain in front of the rabbit and found that there were several bushes there. Although Bai Yu was vibrating his wings and preparing to pounce, he did not give any order.
There are also considerations here.
The jumping cat does not let the bird hunt when it quickly enters the thorn bush or bush.
That's because when the hopping cat is about to get into the thorns or bushes, if the game bird rushes down, it will often catch the hopping cat's buttocks.
The jumping cat immediately ignored the pain and ran into the thorns and bushes to escape. The claws of the falcon, like iron hooks, directly broke the flesh. It could not be pulled out for a while, and it would be dragged into the thorns.
In the bushes, a person may be seriously injured, or a serious person may be directly killed.
Zhang Shaofeng and Zhao Yongke looked across from each other. Seeing that Lu Lu didn't move, they shouted loudly: "Why don't you let go of the eagle?"
Lu Lu didn't say much. It wasn't until the jumping cat jumped out of the bushes that the front became empty. Lu Lu shook his arms and stared at the white jade jumping cat. He immediately flew up, turned over beautifully, and folded his wings.
, dive and shoot down diagonally.
This was different from catching the Shaban Chicken. The Jumping Cat was bigger and had a certain attack power. Lu Lu didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly ran out after him.
When Bai Yu swooped down and grabbed the jumping cat's head, Lu Lu saw a rare scene.
The jumping cat suddenly turned around and turned uphill again, causing Bai Yu to fly into the air and fall into the grass.
However, Bai Yu quickly flew up again and quickly caught up with him again.
The rabbit was very fast. This time, when Bai Yu pounced down, it suddenly jumped up to a height of at least 1.5 meters, followed by a pair of long and powerful legs towards the approaching rabbit.
Bai Yu kicked over, causing Bai Yu, who was adjusting rapidly, to roll in the air, then flapped his wings to stabilize his body.
The jumping cat also took advantage of this and turned around, running wildly again.
This time, Bai Yu did not continue to fly higher, but flapped her wings wildly, quickly pursued him close to the ground, put his paw around Leap Cat's neck, dragged Leap Cat back, and then pecked him down.
This is the legendary rabbit kicking the eagle...
Hunting is exciting, and escaping is also exciting.
Under Bai Yu's sharp claws and fierce pecks, Tiao Maozi struggled a few times and soon lost the ability to resist.
When he ran nearby, Lu Lu called Bai Yu's name, and he immediately flapped his wings, grabbed the jumping cat who was still kicking his legs, and flew back crookedly.
This jumping cat is very fat, and its weight is already quite a load for Bai Yu.
Lu Lu quickly took it, asked Bai Yu to squat on his arm, pulled out the hunting knife, directly dug out the rabbit's eyes, and fed it to Bai Yu.
The eyes are a very fragile place. Once they are attacked and blinded, the prey will be left half disabled. Moreover, it is very close to the brain, which is a very fatal place.
This kind of feeding can form a conditioned reflex and become Bai Yu's preferred attack part when hunting in the future.
