Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 616: Squirrels Laying Nest to Eagle Eggs

Upon hearing what Feng Chengmin said, Wang An was stunned at first, and then immediately laughed out loud like a pig.

Mainly in Wang An’s memory, the joke “A cow doesn’t give birth to a calf because someone is bragging” was heard by Wang An after he entered the fence in his previous life.

It is said that in a certain world, people there regard cows as sacred objects, so they use cow urine as holy water, and they believe that this thing can cure diseases.

I have to say, this kind of thing is very difficult to understand.

In order to drink a sip of fresh holy water, that is, to prevent the holy water from having too much contact with the air, some people would drink it directly.
The reason for this is that in their view, holy water is sacred and should not be contaminated by the air.

It is because of this that it is said that the cows in that place no longer give birth to their calves!

I have to say that when Wang An heard this rumor for the first time, he was immediately amused by it. The main reason was that the visual sense of this incident was really too strong!

And now when Wang An heard this joke again, the picture came to his mind and he suddenly thought, “Oh!”

I never expected that this joke had already existed, and it was said by Feng Chengmin!
Wang An's laughter was quite demonic, and his movements were quite exaggerated, and he couldn't stop laughing, so Feng Chengmin was very confused and had no idea what Wang An was laughing at.

After a while, Feng Chengmin finally couldn't help but said:
"Don't be so happy, you'll be too happy in a moment."

After hearing Feng Chengmin's words, Wang An gradually stopped laughing. Then, Wang An told Feng Chengmin the rumor he had heard in his previous life.

This was great! Feng Chengmin was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter, even more exaggerated than Wang An.

After settling the eagle cubs and eggs, the two men shot a few sparrows and squirrels, and then it was night.

I have to say that the saying “whoever gives you milk is your mother” is absolutely correct and can basically be applied to the cubs of any animal.

Before eating, Feng Chengmin removed the meat from the squirrel, cut it into small pieces and tentatively fed it to the eagle cub.

What was unexpected was that the eagle cub had no intention of refusing at all and directly swallowed the meat that was fed to its mouth.

But before swallowing the meat, the old eagle did not forget to bite Feng Chengmin.

However, this is recorded on the silk cloth, saying that this is the nature of the eagle.

This is because eagles eat their food by cutting it with a knife, and if the feathers on the prey are too big, the eagle will pluck all the feathers before eating.

To put it simply, this nature of the eagle cub must be preserved, and if it does not cut people before eating meat, it must be trained to cut people before it can eat the meat.

Otherwise, an eagle that doesn't know how to use a knife before eating meat will be useless even if it grows up. It can be said that it is a waste of time to raise it and the chicken feathers are useless.

Any young bird has a defect, which is that it does not know what hunger and fullness are. In other words, if it is fed continuously, it will keep eating, even if it is full to death, it will not know it.

So when Feng Chengmin saw that the eagle cub's base, that is, its neck was bulging, he stopped feeding it meat.

The eagle cub probably knew that today's meal was over, so he lay down in a pile of sparrow feathers and fell into a deep sleep.

I have to say that carnivorous animals like eagles are actually very easy to raise. As long as there is enough meat, basically anyone can raise one.

After watching Feng Chengmin feeding the eagle cubs, Wang An looked at his basket of eagle eggs and suddenly felt that although the eagle eggs were tightly wrapped in sparrow feathers, it was not a good idea to just leave them there. This is because incubation is actually done in a constant temperature environment.

As we all know, if half-hatched eggs are left out for too long, there is a high possibility that the half-hatched embryo inside will die.

Although it is generally fine in the short term, these two eagle eggs are very hard to come by. If they die, it will be difficult to find new eagle eggs.

Of course, such eggs are also valuable and it is impossible to throw them away because they are very delicious when cooked. In Northeast China, such eggs are called hairy eggs or live beads.

However, people were quite poor in that era, so the chance to eat hairy eggs was quite rare.

The hairy eggs that Wang An had eaten were not chicken eggs, but wild duck eggs, wild goose eggs and swan eggs. This time when he returned home, Wang An planned to get some wild duck eggs or wild goose eggs to eat.

Calculating the time, the wild ducks, swans, geese and so on are now in place.

Thinking of this, Wang An turned his gaze to the sack containing the squirrels. Wang An remembered that a few of the squirrels in it were just dazed by the mud marbles, but they were not dead.

You have to know that squirrels have a very strong vitality, which is almost comparable to that of mice.

In fact, it's not just squirrels. All the animals in the mountains, including the people of this era, have strong vitality.

So Wang An found a thin hemp rope and walked towards the sack containing the squirrel.

When everyone saw this scene, they didn't know what Wang An was going to do, but no one asked. They just watched quietly.

When Wang An opened the bag, he saw several squirrels squirming constantly. He picked out the happiest one and caught it out.

I have to say, although squirrels are usually very timid, they struggled quite violently when they were suddenly caught by someone.

It was squeaking and biting and scratching, not at all obedient. Fortunately, Wang An was very experienced in catching this thing, so there was no chance that he would get hurt.

Then Wang An put the squirrel on the ground, stepped on its paws with his feet, and tied up the squirrel in no time.

Not only were the four paws tied up, but the mouth was also tied up.

At this time, the squirrel's two front paws and head were tied together, and its two hind legs and thick tail were tied together, leaving only its belly exposed.

Then, Wang An followed suit and tied up three more squirrels.

Then he carried the four tied squirrels and walked towards the basket containing the eagle eggs.

When everyone saw this scene, they had already vaguely guessed what Wang An was going to do. Mu Xueli was shocked but spoke unclearly:
"Brother-in-law, are you going to let the greyhound brood for you?"

When Wang An heard this, he was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he rolled his eyes at Mu Xueli and said unhappily:

"No wonder you got beaten up. You really can't talk. What the hell are you doing? You're just sitting on a nest for me. It's like a squirrel sitting on a nest for eagle eggs. You're nothing all day long."

When everyone heard what the two people said, they burst into laughter.
