Chapter 461 Pigeon Whistle(1/2)

Author: Ye Gong Haolong A

"Sister, have you seen that the bald man is so powerful?"

Wang Zhenzhen raised his little head, stared, and looked shocked.

"Yes, we caught all the eagles. No wonder those kite guests specially gave gifts to your brother-in-law after seeing Er Baldy."

As Wang Susu spoke, she saw her son running up to the dead eagle on his short legs, and quickly shouted: "Ruirui, what are you doing? Don't touch it and get blood on your hands."

Chen Ling turned around and smiled: "It's okay. The bald man scratched the eagle's head to pieces. His body is quite clean and there is no blood."

I watched my son squatting in front of the eagle, curiously pulling open the wings of the eagle, then looking up at him and swallowing saliva, looking like a greedy cat.

"Dad, Rourou."

"You, you are greedy for everything you see."

Seeing this, Chen Ling squatted down, touched the back of his head speechlessly and said, "You can't eat this. Eagle meat is very unpalatable."

"Brother-in-law, why is this eagle's belly gray-white? It looks black when it's in the sky."

Wang Zhenzhen said curiously.

"This is because they fly too high and we can only see black shadows..."

"Oh, then why did the eagle catch the pigeons again? Didn't he catch our chickens and eat them yesterday?"

"Oh, it must be because I tied a dove whistle to the pigeon, which attracted the eagle."

The three of them were talking, and the old couple came over from the back hill with their nets and bamboo poles and their dogs. They were afraid that an eagle would take the opportunity to come down and catch their chickens and ducks.

Although the chickens reacted quickly and basically hid, there were still ducks and geese at the foot of the mountain, so we had to be on guard.

"Look at how frightened these rails are. They usually keep croaking from morning to night. But now they saw the eagle coming and stopped all of a sudden."

"Yeah, it was quiet all of a sudden, and the toads didn't cry anymore."

"Dad, Mom, the two bald men are very powerful. When an eagle comes to catch a dove, it flies into the sky and kicks the eagle down, smashing its head into pieces."

"I know, we saw it just now. Erbaldy is so powerful that he scared away the eagles flying in the south."

The two elders really didn't expect that this kite was so good at catching birds that it would dare to fly into the sky to fight when it encountered an eagle.

And it was a one-hit kill. When the two of them saw it just now, they couldn't believe it.

"Has the pigeon returned to the village?"

"I didn't go back to the village. I left it at the pavilion."

Chen Ling pressed his chin, and a group of pigeons landed on the steps next to the pavilion in shock.

Wang Cunye took a look, frowned and said: "Why did the eagle directly grab the pigeon today? I also waited for the chickens, flew down and shot them."

"I just told Zhenzhen that the eagle originally wanted to steal the chicken, but it heard the whistle of the pigeon. It may have been attracted by the pigeon whistle...

I saw that the eagle just went after the pigeon with the whistle attached."

"Ah? Pigeon whistle? This is serious. Don't bring that thing to pigeons in the future."

"It's okay. Since this whistle may lure eagles to come over, then we should choose a special time to lure them over, and scare them with the two bald eagles a few times, so that they won't dare to come over again."

"...That's it, that's fine too."

"Well, anyway, just take off the whistle at ordinary times. You can't always let the pigeons carry it."



Let my sister-in-law and son play around the eagle's body for a while.

Chen Ling carried this guy to the back mountain, and after drying it directly in the cave, hung the hard body on the big tree next to the back pheasant nest.

If any eagle dares to sneak over in the future, even if Erbaldy is not at home, they will be able to see the corpse of this same kind at a glance.

Presumably it will have a good deterrent effect.

"Zhenzhen, I'm going to Fenglei Town today to deliver fabrics to my second brother, will you come with me?"

Back at the bottom of the mountain, Chen Ling drove the tractor out and asked with a smile.

Wang Zhenzhen just had her summer vacation today, and she and Ruirui are playing with wheat field turtles upstairs.

Hearing this, he stuck out his little head and shouted: "I'm not going back yet. My sister-in-law and I wrote a letter saying that during the holidays, I will go back to the village to live for half a month."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Chen Ling smiled and took the kettle Wang Susu had prepared for him, which contained honey water prepared in advance.

I was afraid that he would get thirsty while walking and have nowhere to drink water.

"It's so hot now and the journey is so long. Why take her with you? She's going, and Ruirui is going too. It's up to you what you will do then."

After Wang Susu handed over the kettle, she rolled her eyes at him and said angrily.

Chen Ling chuckled, said no more, walked out of the orchard, got on the tractor and left.

The back compartment of the tractor was piled high and full of fabrics and defective clothing.

Speaking of clothes shopping this time, it’s not like no one wants them.

I heard from the Han Chuang brothers that in the past two years, people lined up to take these things, and they all carried the baggage when they left.

I also look for places to sell them at low prices.

Some defective products can be dismantled and repaired by yourself at home, and they can also be sold as good clothes.

But since last year, working outside the home has made more money, and no one does this anymore.

As a result, these factories have accumulated in large numbers.

This car was only a small part of the way.

Chen Ling finally got a bargain.

After saving costs, the remaining money will allow the two brothers Wang Qingwen to better find people to work for.

My father-in-law gave them 20,000 yuan. Now it seems that even if they hire some people, it won't cost that much.

Wang Qingzhong has known a lot of people in the grain business over the years. He is very familiar with the people near Fenglei Town. He knows them in every village. He can look around and find some older women with good skills. The women come to do the work and give them some wages.

Simple.

I went to Fenglei Town. I set off at around seven o'clock in the morning and arrived before noon. I had a meal in the town with my two brothers-in-law. After talking about what to do next, I came back early.

When he came back, he didn't go home directly. Instead, he turned to the county seat and called Yu Qian to ask about the pigeon whistle.

After asking this question, it turned out that Chen Ling's guess was correct.

The eagle suddenly changed its goal today and went to catch pigeons to eat because of the pigeon whistle.

Yu Qian has raised pigeons and played with grasshoppers since he was a child, and he knows the secrets inside.

His original words were: "Although it is always said that eagles catch chicks and eagles catch chicks, in fact, eagles prefer to eat pigeons than chickens and ducks. In winter and spring in Beijing, there are many eagles in the sky, so we generally do not give pigeons food.

Whistle, it’s for the reason you mentioned, it’s like an eagle.

Equipped with a whistle, if you let it fly you won't be able to come back."

In addition, when I heard that Chen Ling was playing with pigeons, Yu Qian was very enthusiastic about it and said that the next time he came to play with him, he would pick out some beautiful pigeon whistles for him.

There are all kinds of things, which guarantees his satisfaction.

I also gave Chen Ling a detailed explanation of the classification of pigeon whistles.

How to wear it on pigeons.

He said that his method of tying pigeons' legs was particularly harmful to the pigeons, and if they encountered an eagle while flying, they would often be unable to escape.

Tell him that to tie a pigeon whistle, you need to tie it to the pigeon's tail. Pigeons' tails usually have twelve feathers.

The four strands in the middle are relatively thick and strong, and are suitable for tying whistles.

Of course, you should also pay attention to the fact that when the pigeons change their new feathers in summer, it is best not to tie them, otherwise after flying around for a while, the pigeons will come back and the whistle will be lost.

He also warned him that some pigeons were timid and had a whistle tied to them that would sound as soon as they flew. They would be frightened and would not dare to fly again.

In short, that's a fine thing to say.

After hearing this, Chen Ling couldn't help but admire him: "You are indeed the master of the game."

This old boy really loves these things.

What he said made him excited and couldn't help but become interested.

After returning home, I followed what Yu Qian said, took out two pieces of bamboo, and tried it myself to see if I could figure it out and make a whistle.

The materials used to make pigeon whistles are generally the same.

Bamboo, hardwood, reeds, bones, even gourds and ladles will work too.

Pigeons have been kept for fun more than a thousand years ago.

There are many exquisite and unique pigeon whistles.

The pigeon whistles Chen Sangui gave him were the roughest and simplest.
