My village can't be like this

Chapter 119 The Old Kite

"Anzi, are you busy now?"

Zhang An was turning over the sealwort in the dustpan, when he found the second grandma calling him.

"If I have time, Second Mistress, what about?"

Second Mistress, these old people, usually would not easily find Zhang An or young people for nothing.

Because they don't want to trouble Zhang An and his young people all the time because of a little thing.

"In the past few days, an old kite has come to my room. It has already eaten several of my chickens. It is still guarding today. Go and see if you can get it away."

Grandma Zhang was a little distressed. These chicks were all hatched by her own hens.

It can be sold for a lot of money if it is raised and raised like this, and it doesn't cost much food.

But in the past two days, the old kite has been staring at it and ate several of them.

"Ha, is there an old kite coming to the village? Why didn't I hear the cry?"

When Zhang An heard his second grandmother say that the old kite had come to the village, he still hadn't realized it.

He was at home these two days, but he didn't see the old kite flying across the sky.

And logically speaking, the old kite should also come to his own home.

Because there are so many chickens and ducks in Zhang An's family, the goal is much bigger than others.

"Where does it crow, every day it comes to squat on the roof of our house and on the big tree. If it crows, all the chickens underneath will hide."

It turned out that when the second grandma drove the chickens back to the pen at night these days, she found that the number of chickens in her house was not the same as usual.

She usually puts it in the yard to feed, and it can't be someone else who took it away.

Then I also wondered if I was dragged away by the weasel.

Anyway, the chickens and ducks in the village are gone, and everyone's first reaction is whether they will be stolen by weasels.

The weasel has long been notorious in everyone's minds.

And yesterday, the old kite was even more daring, ran directly into the yard, and grabbed the chick in front of people.

Only then did Second Mistress realize that it wasn't the weasel that stole it, it was the old kite that was behind it.

A few days ago, the second grandma didn't pay attention. Since she found the old kite, the second grandma has been watching every day.

Who knew that the old kite would come every day after he got his hands on it once.

There is really nothing I can do today, the second mistress hasn't let the chicken out yet.

If you don't care about it, the chicken can't be raised anymore.

So Grandma Zhang came to see Zhang An to see if she could catch or take it away.

If it doesn't work, I can only wait for Huang Erye to come back at night, and then go to him for help.

As soon as Zhang An heard it, it was okay now, the old kite and goshawk would not come to the village usually.

Zhang An hasn't heard of eagles and kites coming to the village for many years.

The old kite is the goshawk in the mountains, and Changqing has his back against the mountain. There are many such things in the mountains.

But they have a strong sense of territory, basically there are only one or two in an area.

And when you come down the mountain, basically you can only see a pair or a single one.

If it were two eagles, they would have to fight in the sky.

Many years ago, when Zhang An was still young, he could see one or two old kites flying in the sky every day.

When the old kite went down the mountain before, he would often scare the chickens and ducks raised in the village into hiding.

After being wiped out by the village organization, it seems a bit rare in recent years.

Because they are all squatting in the mountains, and they don't see much going down the mountain.

Zhang An told his mother, and followed his second grandmother to see what was going on.

As soon as he arrived at the second grandma's house, Zhang An saw the old kite that had been circling in the sky.

After flying for a while, it didn't find any prey, so it flew to the nearby big tree and squatted.

Zhang An's feeling when he first saw it was that this guy was so big.

This guy is probably used to eating here, as if he was here to buy goods, as if he was waiting for the store to open.

Seeing that no chicks were released today, they were all hanging in the sky and could not leave.

Zhang An looked at the terrain, went to the backyard of the second grandmother's house, and picked a more suitable place.

This guy cannot be driven away. If you drive away this time, it will continue to come next time.

So Zhang An decided to find a suitable place, and set it up with the next net later.

"Second Grandma, don't let the chicken out now, I'll go home and get a net, and I'll catch it later."

"Eh, good."

Zhang An rummaged through boxes and cabinets at home, and found a large and fine net.

In the yard of the second grandmother's house, a huge net was set up.

This is what Huang Erye taught Zhang An before, and it is specially used to deal with these old kites.

Huang Erye had a bad temper when he was young.

I heard from him before that at that time their family raised several native chickens.

Later, he was followed by the old kite in the mountains, and he came to his house to follow him several times.

In the end, he caught a little rooster that weighed three to four catties. How could Second Master Huang be able to bear it now.

He was a wild king in the mountains, but he was ignored by an old kite.

The next day, I saw that old kite came back even after eating it, so I tried to get it out of the net and caught it.

As a result, this was the first time I got off the net, I didn't have much experience, I didn't catch it, I was run away by the old kite, and I lost a chicken.

Unconvinced, Second Master Huang saw the thing coming back, so he fought it.

However, the second time I got off the net and improved a little, I still couldn't catch it.

Although the chicken died, the old kite couldn't take the chicken away.

I don't know if it's lack of heart or not, this old kite is just like Huang Erye.

For several days in a row, I came to his house every day to keep an eye on him.

At that time, Huang Ming's father, Huang Zhengbiao, was young and energetic, and he shot the old kite with a gun.

It's a pity that the earthen gun can't hit this thing at all. This thing is too fast, and it's useless not to get close to the earthen gun.

Huang Erye failed several times in a row, and finally summed up the previous experience and came up with this big array.

As soon as the chickens at home were released, the old kite in the sky couldn't stand the temptation.

After circling several times, the last one swooped down and started chasing chickens in the yard.

Huang Erye watched the old kite enter the circle, and directly pulled the rope to cover the net.

In the end, the old kite didn't even think about how he was caught.

Since then, Huang Erye also used this method to help several families in the village solve the problem of eagles catching chickens.

After Zhang An finished laying the net, he asked his second grandmother to release the chicken at home and wait for it to come down.

The second grandma raises small native chickens, even though these small chickens are watched by roosters.

But this rooster can grow to a size of four or five catties at its largest, and it is no match for the old kite at all.

If it's a Luhua rooster, come on, let's see who is afraid of whom.

Sure enough, after the second grandma let the chicken out, the old kite who was standing on the electric pole just now started to circle.

This girl is really addicted to buying goods, and I have to teach it a lesson today.

Zhang An hid himself in a place where he could not be seen from the sky.

Otherwise, if he sees someone there, this hairy beast won't come down.

Ten minutes later, the old kite in the sky could no longer see anyone in the yard.

It fell straight towards the chickens in the yard.

At this time, the yard of Second Grandma's house was like a scene of chickens and dogs jumping around.

Dust and chicken feathers fluttered everywhere, accompanied by rapid chicken crowing.

Zhang An didn't immediately pull the rope, but patiently waited for the old kite to enter his net.

After quietly watching it chase the chicken into the trap, Zhang An pulled the rope.

The fine net that had just been laid was turned over with a swish, and the old kite and the chick were netted together.

When this guy just spread his wings, he was more than one meter long, and he was very powerful.

Compared with kites in the mountains, they are much stronger.

Don't look at one called the old kite and the other called the kite, these two guys are not at the same level of combat effectiveness.

The size and weight of the kite is more than half smaller than that of the old kite, and it will disappear if you pick it up twice.

This guy seemed to know that he had been tricked, so he flapped his wings and planned to fly with the net.

How could Zhang An do what he wished, he ran over to collect the net, dragged it back from the air and pressed it to the ground.

"Second Grandma, I caught it, but the chick just now may not survive."

Zhang An looked at the little chicken that was caught by the old kite just now, and now it is not moving on the ground, and its body is still shaking slightly, which proves that it is not dead yet.

"It's good if you catch it. This one with a back is eating my little chicken, Anzi. You take it back and stew it."

Grandma Zhang was so happy when she heard that Zhang An had caught the old kite, she wished she could kill it with a knife.

"Second Grandma, this old kite is not tasty. I'll take it back and boil it, or it will come back after I let it go."

An old kite doesn't really weigh much. After plucking the hair and removing the internal organs and inedible parts, there is not much left.

Moreover, the meat of this thing is too unpalatable, Zhang An is not willing to eat it.

"Anyway, you can play with it by yourself, but be careful not to be run away by it. There are so many chickens, ducks and rabbits in your house. If it runs away, it will be ruined by it. The resentment is very strong."

Grandma Zhang heard that Zhang An wanted to cook it, and knew that her grandson was more playful.

The old man didn't say anything, as long as he didn't let him go.

Now is not like later generations, there are too many things in the mountains.

Everyone hates it as soon as it comes out of the mountain, but no one will feel sorry for it.

Grandma Zhang felt a little distressed when she saw the little chicken on the ground that couldn't move.

Turn around and go back to the house, and come out with a small basin and a small wooden stick.

Cover the pot with the chickens on the ground, and then tap the pot lightly with a small stick.

My second grandmother didn't do anything, just knocked lightly a few times.

The chicken, which had been limp just now, stood up tremblingly.

Zhang An knew this method, but most of the chickens were frightened or frozen, and it was easy to save the chickens by doing this.

But the person in front of me couldn't even move, yet he was able to stand up, amazing.

Seeing that Second Grandma was all right here, Zhang An put the net away.

He went back to his home with the heavy old kite in his hand.

When Zhang An grabbed it, it even wanted to peck Zhang An's hand with its eagle beak.

Zhang An wouldn't be used to it, and put his hands on the ground for it.

Turned into the Southwest Hammer King on the spot, and hit him with a fierce hammer.

Until he lost his temper after being beaten by it, he could only droop his head.

When I got home, I found a rope to tie it up.

Zhang Ancai took the net away, it was a fine net, it was almost broken just now.

"It's so big, I haven't seen such a big one for many years."

Wang Fang knew that Zhang An had gone to help Second Grandma catch the old kite, and now she was a little surprised to see Zhang An coming back with such a big old kite.

"This must be a grown old kite. It is estimated that life is not bad at ordinary times, otherwise it will not grow to such a big size."

"Then what are you going to do with it, let it go or drip it?"

"It can't be released. After this thing is released, it will come to visit our house every day. When the time comes, the chickens, ducks and geese in the yard will suffer. I plan to keep it for play."

Hearing Zhang An said to keep it for fun, Wang Fang put down what she was busy with.

"Do you want to play with it? But do you know how to endure it? I heard people say that boiled eagles can't sleep, and they can only survive for several days and nights."

People in the mountains are no strangers to boiled eagles, and basically many people have heard of it.

But how to boil and what method to use are all unrecorded.

What you hear is only some small stories that have been handed down from a long time ago.

There may be people who play eagles in some places, but in Changqing Village, or even the entire town or the entire county, no one has ever heard of anyone who can play eagles.

"This kind of method that most people talk about, stay up for several days without sleep, no one knows whether it is true or not, I just play around, if I can succeed, if I can't, I will be slaughtered."

Zhang An is not that stupid, he is not familiar with this aspect at all, and he just wants to make it a joke.

So I won’t stay up for days and nights like those, maybe I didn’t make it without a kite, and I boiled myself to death.

The second master Huang in the village is a living example. The eagle didn't make it out, and almost killed himself.

Moreover, Zhang An didn't worry about taming the falcon at all. If there was space, he had to be obedient no matter what.

Even if it is not obedient, then beat it until it is obedient.

"Then you can play with it yourself."

Wang Fang heard what Zhang An said, so she didn't care what Zhang An did.

She was worried that Zhang An didn't understand anything, and it would be impossible to imitate others for a few days.

"Then I'm going to the river."

At home, only Wang Fang and Zhang An were at home, and Zhang Jianguo went to help others harvest millet.

Originally, Zhang An would also go, but Zhang Jianguo went, so Zhang An didn't have to go.

Zhang An just took this time to steam the pile of sealwort he got and deal with it.

After Zhang An told his mother, he took the old kite and went to the yard by the river.

This means that a few small ones are not at home, if Zhang An catches such a big bird.

He definitely followed Zhang An's ass, and he didn't even take him away.

Back in the room, Zhang An closed the door and entered the space with the old kite.

The old kite, who had been untied by Zhang An, was about to peck Zhang An with his beak.

It suddenly changed its place, and it abruptly retracted the protruding eagle beak.

From its small eyes, Zhang An seemed to see two big question marks, blinking and blinking.

Then it flew into the air and hovered above Zhang An's head.

However, its confusion quickly disappeared, and instead it felt close to Zhang An.

After flying in the air for a while, it landed and stood on Zhang An's shoulder.

Seeing this, Zhang An felt that it was almost done.

Immediately, he stretched out a hand and smoothed the feathers on its back.

The old kite also sensiblely rubbed his head against Zhang An's palm.

Fuck, it's so good.
