Chapter 154 Holding a Falcon
Chapter 154 Holding a Falcon
Scarface's voice came from behind. The person who was halfway up the mountain just moments ago had suddenly reached the top.
Lin Cai turned to look at him. Scarface saw that Lin Cai did not answer him and instead turned to look at him, so he asked again.
"You made something delicious, can I eat it? If I find you lots of honey, can you make me a lot more?"
Lin Cai was completely speechless. Who on earth was this person?
Is living just about eating?
She noticed that ever since the scarred man ate fish last time, he had become incredibly accustomed to any food, especially food from the Lin family.
No matter what it is or how it's made, as long as it comes from the Lin family kitchen, he has to try it.
If it tastes good, he'll keep eating; if it doesn't, he'll take a bite and turn away.
And now, she's talking to a dog, asking it to cook something delicious, and he's actually trying to take it from the dog! What kind of person is he?!
Lin Cai looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and then lowered her head to say, "Okay, as long as you can find honey, I'll make it for you when we get back..."
With that assurance, Scarface immediately perked up and walked right past Lin Cai, heading deeper into the area until he disappeared from sight in no time.
Lin Cai: "..." She was wrong. This person wasn't just shameless when it came to eating, he was reckless when it came to eating!
They didn't bring anything and just barged into the deep mountains. Aren't they afraid of never coming back?
An hour later, led by Big Gray, Lin Cai found two beehives. Although they contained honey, there were also quite a few bees inside.
Lin used the old method of smoking to drive away the excess bees, took half of the honey, and left the other half for the bees.
The same thing happened in the second beehive; she took half of the honey and left the other half for the bees.
However, while collecting honey, there were bound to be places she couldn't keep an eye on, and she ended up with two bites on her hands.
The same goes for Big Grey. Despite being covered in fur, Big Grey still got stung by bees on its eyelids and nose.
After the man and the wolf finished, they went to the entrance of the mountain road and sat there waiting for Scarface.
We all went up the mountain together; we couldn't just leave Scarface alone on the mountain!
On the other side, Scarface was holding a large honeycomb, the honey spilling all over the ground because he couldn't catch it all.
But he still felt it wasn't enough and wanted to find another piece. Just as he was still searching, he suddenly heard the cry of an eagle.
Looking up, I saw a gyrfalcon circling in the air.
Scarface narrowed his eyes slightly, then casually lowered his head and continued walking forward with the honeycomb in his hand.
Gu Zhan also saw it. He brought Er Shi to the mountain to hunt, but the prey they caught were mostly rabbits and pheasants.
Suddenly they heard the cry of an eagle. The two looked up and saw the eagle in the sky. Ershi raised his bow and arrow and gestured with it.
"Master, the distance is too far, I'm not confident."
"Should you not shoot if you're not sure?"
"No, I'm just not sure, it's not that I can't hit the target."
He was just afraid of missing the mark, not that he would miss completely.
Just as he raised his bow and arrow again, Gu Zhan pressed his hand down and handed him his own bow and arrow.
Ershi had seen his master's bow and arrow and had even tried to draw it, but he lacked the strength to draw it perfectly.
It had been a long time since Ershi had tried his master's bow and arrow, and he was very excited when he got his hands on it.
He tossed his bow and arrows aside, picked up the bow, nocked an arrow, raised it, and aimed at the eagle circling above.
With a whoosh, the arrow was shot out, followed by the cry of an eagle. If you listened carefully, you could hear that this cry carried a hint of sorrow, completely different from the previous one.
When the eagle was shot, Scarface immediately looked up and saw the eagle fall from the sky after being hit by an arrow.
Knowing he had hit the target, Ershi was very excited. He handed the bow back to Gu Zhan and ran straight towards his prey.
As expected, his archery skills still needed more practice; he only hit the eagle's wing and did not kill it instantly.
When the eagle's wing is injured, it loses its ability to fly. When Ershi passed by, its uninjured wing still flapped a few times in a defiant manner.
But with only one wing, it couldn't fly no matter how hard it flapped its wings, and in the end, Ershi could only catch it and take it back.
Lin Cai didn't see Scarface at the entrance to the mountain, but she did see Gu Zhan and his companion. When she saw them, she immediately noticed the eagle in Er Shi's hand.
When Big Grey saw the eagle, it arched its back and assumed an attack posture. Lin Cai patted Big Grey.
"Big Grey, be quiet and stop causing trouble."
Then he looked at Gu Zhan and asked, "Did it just come down from the sky?"
"Yes, yes, I shot it down with my master's bow and arrow, but my archery skills weren't very good and I didn't hit its throat."
"You're so young. It's already impressive that you managed to shoot an eagle down. Why did you have to shoot it in the throat?"
Lin Cai said that Er Shi was very good, and this was absolutely true and serious. Eagles and the like are birds of prey, the overlords of the sky. Being able to shoot them is really amazing.
However, as Lin Cai spoke, her eyes remained fixed on the eagle in Er Shi's hand.
Ershi saw Lin Cai's gaze and then lifted up the eagle that had been half-dead since it was captured.
"Mother, do you want it?"
After all, someone who can raise a wolf like a dog would probably want to raise an eagle too!
"Are you going to give it to me?"
Perhaps because they wanted it so badly, they didn't notice what Ershi had just called them.
"If Mother wants it, of course I will give it to her; I have no use for it anyway."
His master just said on the mountain that this kind of eagle is called a gyrfalcon, and it's not something we can have here. The ones that appear here have all been trained.
Even if such a gyrfalcon is shot down, the only outcome is that its feathers are plucked and it is cooked; there is no other result.
When Lin Cai heard Er Shi say he would give her the eagle in his hand, she immediately took it and grabbed its wings.
As I held it in my hand, I was screaming in my heart: Eagle! Gyrfalcon! Ruler of the sky, nationally protected animal!
He'll rot in jail!
It's in her hands right now!
But the way this gyrfalcon was hanging its head was just too cute. Did it know that it had fallen into the hands of humans and wouldn't survive, so it just gave up completely?
Holding the gyrfalcon in her hand, Lin Cai was incredibly excited all the way down the mountain.
Gu Zhan, who was walking behind, noticed this and glanced at the gyrfalcon, which had completely given up.
