Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 102 The Falcon and the Falconer
This day is already the fourth day since their group arrived here.

They arrived at noon on October [-]th. On another small ship in Lulin, they had a space meal for lunch-it was a kind of ointment.There are many flavors and colors, and the hardness and humidity are also different.But no matter what, it's still paste.

At dinner that day, there was an episode.

That evening, Jiang Ling was in the main villa where Lu Lin stayed, carefully admiring some decorations - she had never seen real deer heads and other things, those were the hunting trophies of the villa owner; nor had she seen Russian-style decorations, those decorations Sophisticated and fancy.

So Jiang Ling, like a tourist with a leisurely schedule and plenty of time, is interested in this.Before that, Jiang Ling completed the physical training of the day in one afternoon.Therefore, Jiang Ling has no worries and fully enjoys her sightseeing time.

As for Zhou Xinguang and the others, this is not the first time they have seen each other, and they need to adjust as soon as possible to prepare for the inevitable gambling tomorrow.

And Jiang Ling abstained early on this.

Because the prizes of the game are generally small items for personal use, especially knives, daggers and the like.Those things are made of good materials, and Jiang Ling guessed that they were all donated to the Institute of Metal Research... Anyway, as a person who has never killed a chicken, Jiang Ling can hardly convince himself to hunt lively rabbits, pheasants, roe deer, and deer Wait, let alone a bear.What's more...

the most important is……

——Left and right she can't win!

……

As a result, that evening, Lu Lin asked Jiang Ling to have dinner together.Jiang Ling had the previous experience and knew that Lu Lin was not usually exquisite and luxurious, so she ran happily.Then Jiang Ling found that Alexander was there, as well as Boris.

The four of them had just sat down, and Alexander, as the host, went to the kitchen, and when he came back, he personally brought a porcelain plate to Jiang Ling and offered it with both hands.On the plate was a delicate white embroidered napkin, and on it was a baguette with a small salt jar above it.

Jiang Ling was cautious immediately, got up quickly and took it with both hands, expressing joy.After all, these days everyone is surfing the Internet, so Jiang Ling has roughly seen the introduction of folk customs, and knows the customs of the Eslavs. Bread and salt are only served when welcoming distinguished guests.

But it was Lu Lin's temporary decision to come here, Zhao Yonggang and the others had no time to make up for Jiang Ling's diplomatic etiquette like last time, so Jiang Ling didn't know...

—Should she eat the whole bread? !
or……

The more you eat, the better?

There is no doubt that when Lu Linshang came back, he had already accepted this kind of greeting.And this is not an open and formal occasion, so neither Lu Lin nor Alexander plans to do it again.However, the people present at that time were either Qi Ya people or Russians. Both sides obviously didn't think they needed to give Jiang Ling any hints...

Fortunately, the bread was just out of the oven, and it was hot and delicious-although it was a bit too big!And Jiang Ling was just hungry, so he just tried his best to start and attack the whole bread tirelessly!Well... You can dip it in salt, don't be afraid!Anyway, her appetite is better than before!

As a result, Lu Lin smiled.Alexander smiled like a flower, and hurriedly motioned for the dishes to start.Boris maintained his normal expression at first, and was happy after a while.

Etiquette is just etiquette, and customs are just customs.What matters is not how perfectly they are interpreted, what matters is the attitudes of both the host and the guest.Alexander is frank and enthusiastic enough, and Jiang Ling is serious and sincere enough.So what does it matter whether the occasion is large or small, and the details of the steps are precise?This dinner had a great atmosphere.

Of course, during the whole dinner, Jiang Ling could only taste all the dishes with local characteristics.

But what does it matter?They will stay for several days.

*********
For two days on the [-]th and [-]th, this group of people rode horses and wandered around, familiarizing themselves with the terrain.

It is said here that Alexander is the host, but in fact Alexander has never been here, but Boris has been here once, just for a week.In fact, Alexander and the others are usually very busy, so they often go to a hunting ground near Moscow.Because the fun of hunting lies in the companions, not in the new terrain.But Lake Baikal last time, and Siberia this time, are too far away from Moscow.

This, plus two days to get familiar with the terrain, and the computer on the arm to check the map at any time, is fair enough for gambling and hunting.So, today they are going out.Then maybe have a good time here.

……

Jiang Ling walked unhurriedly, biting the sandwich, chewing and swallowing it carefully.In front of him, like Jiang Ling, Alexander was looking at the eagle in the sky from the awning.He was wearing an old coat, with his right hand stretched out and a thick glove covering his forearm.

The falcon flew to Alexander and dropped the rabbit on the ground, landing on his right hand.Alexander fed it something, but Jiang Ling didn't see it because of the angle.

Jiang Ling ate the last bite of the sandwich.Voices came from the villa behind him.

The hunt will start in the morning and end before sunset in the evening.A total of twelve people will participate.Compared with the 13 people Jiang Ling saw at the top of the mountain last time, there were more Boris who had returned from injury, and less Zhou Xinming and Feng Yong who had already been eliminated.

At this time, these people began to come out to check and test the guns, hunting knives and so on for the last time-some of these things were brought by themselves, and some chose from the ones provided by the master.And Jiang Ling was close enough to take a closer look at Alexander's eagle.

It has dark gray and dark brown feathers, a hook-like sharp mouth and sharp claws, full of energy, majestic and mighty.It seems that it has just returned from hunting, and it flaps its wings from time to time, half-opening its wings.

Jiang Ling didn't get too close because she didn't know which distance was appropriate.Perhaps seeing a stranger, the falcon spread its wings again, opened its dark gray and black feathers, and screamed a few times.Alexander had already seen Jiang Ling, so he comforted Falcon at this moment, then slowly approached a few steps, and asked Jiang Ling, "Aren't you afraid of Victor?"

"Victor. How should I put it?" Jiang Ling continued to look at the guy standing on Alexander's hand.Then Jiang Ling found that it was in a good mood, just like her Jiang Ling, full and satisfied, a little bit unsatisfied.So Jiang Ling smiled slightly: "A little bit, because I haven't seen it before. The one in the zoo can't compare with it. But I think it's the first time I've seen each other."

"So you can't show weakness?" Alexander nodded and smiled, "Yes, in the wilderness and in the woods, everything should be like this. They are brave and powerful. They tear the weak. They will only treat the equally brave and strong Pay respect, be cautious, and bow to the stronger and braver. This is a hunter's experience."

Jiang Ling nodded: "The weak eat the strong." He glanced at Alexander: "And you tamed it." He continued to try to understand Falcon's mood—seems a lot more complicated than Heguoyu?During the silent communication, Jiang Ling kept watching the falcon quietly.Because it's been a while, Jiang Ling blinked.

Falcon also flapped his eyelids.

Jiang Ling blinked.

Falcon flapped his eyelids.

Jiang Ling: "..."

Falcon turned his head to smooth his feathers.

Alexander smiled: "I'll take Victor back."

At this time, Lu Lin also strolled over.This Qi Ya's second-rank public also trains her own physical skills every day. She has been in the eighth level of physical skills for a long time.

Because he didn't participate in the hunting game, Lu Lin was not in a hurry to change his clothes at the moment. He stretched his waist with dirty dirt, looked at the eagle, and nodded with a smile: "It's very good." Alexander deliberately said: "Bring it, you will be even more powerful."

Alexander laughed all of a sudden, then put away his smile and looked directly at Lu Lin: "I won't lose to anyone without it." Yan Bi nodded to the two and turned back.

Lu Lin nodded slightly, watched Alexander for a moment, then turned back and said, "A good eagle comes from a good hunter."

Jiang Ling nodded, agreeing in her heart.Jiang Ling's experience was less than that of anyone present, and his eyesight to see people was naturally far inferior to that of Lu Lin.But Jiang Ling's intuition is strangely sharp. At present, it seems that this is the same as her affinity, and it is also a characteristic of her mental power.Therefore, Jiang Ling knew that Alexander's self-confidence was neither arrogance nor arrogance, it was accumulated little by little.

Xu Bohou also nodded in agreement.Wang Liyuan next to him smiled and said: "This is a tradition. I heard that every emperor and prince in your history liked to hunt with falcons; the person who started the training of falcons was Catherine II. Whereas we have Costin.”

Is this flattering Lu Lin?By the way, show yourself.Historical celebrities are also allusions. Like idioms, the translator will explain the summary, so it is likely to be.But Jiang Ling couldn't be sure. He stood there and listened quietly, knowing that this group of people might start again.

Boris shook his head: "Tradition and non-tradition are just superficial things. The essence is that taming falcons is a difficult job. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter how hot or cold, a falconer must act. He has to try to overcome many difficulties, In order to truly conquer an eagle. It takes good eyesight to look at an eagle. It is difficult to catch a good eagle. To boil an eagle is to boil yourself. And to release the eagle—this is the hardest part. There are also many people there."

Lu Lin nodded slightly, with a look full of interest, she didn't open her mouth to intervene, and no one in the group spoke.Therefore, those present could only hear the wind blowing through the half-dead long grass, and the wooden butt of the shotgun brushing against the strong coat.Some people count the bullets, some people are not satisfied with the tightness of the shoelaces, so they have to re-tie them.And then there's Boris, the only one talking.

"Therefore, engaging in such an amateur activity will make people stronger in body, stronger in will, and more flexible in mind." Speaking of this, Boris cocked his lips at Xu Bohou and the others: "So among our young people, the popular Tame an eagle yourself."

——Sturdy counterattack!

Lu Lin looked at the two of them in turn, and then looked at Jiang Ling.
