Chapter 589 The Ultimate White Jade Claw

Chapter 589 The Ultimate White Jade Claw

Responding instinctively, Lu Lu suddenly withdrew his hand back, and saw a slender and deep groove of blood on the palm, the flesh rolled up, and blood flowed profusely for a while.

Such sharp claws!

Lu Lu randomly grabbed and pressed the soil on the wound to stop the bleeding, but his eyes were on Hai Dongqing's claws who were struggling desperately in the net.

Seeing this, he was stunned for a moment, and he found that the hooked nails on Hai Dongqing's sharp claws were as crystal clear as white jade.

The sharp nail on one of the toes has been stained blood red.

Seeing that Lu Lu had successfully collected the net, Zhao Tuanqing and Chen Xiuyu also hurried over, and Zhao Tuanqing even had to run.

When he got to Lu Lu's side, he looked at Hai Dongqing in the net, and laughed loudly: "You are so lucky, this is the best white jade claw in Hai Dongqing! Many old ways of catching eagles will last a lifetime. You may not be able to see it once, what kind of shit luck."

White jade claw?

Lu Lu looked at Hai Dongqing's paw again.

"I heard from the elders that this Haidongqing can be divided into Qiuhuang, Bohuang, Sannianlong, and white jade claws. When you catch this one, it has more white feathers and less black spots. Its coat color is like fog, and it also has a faint blue color. , although it is not pure white top quality, but it is also quite beautiful, the key is that this claw is incredible, but it is an extremely rare white jade claw.

This white jade claw is divided into big white jade claw and small white jade claw. The back toe nails of small white jade claws are jade-colored, and big white jade claws are all transparent like jade... This is the top grade big white jade claw, don't worry! Costin, the nails on its paws are usually gray-black...beautiful, so beautiful! "

The more Zhao Tuanqing talked, the more excited he became, and his expression was extremely excited.

The focus of Chen Xiuyu's attention was not the Haidongqing, but looked at Lu Lu who was covering his palm with mud to stop the bleeding, and asked with concern: "Brother Lu, are you injured? Show me quickly!"

As she spoke, she squatted down and pulled Lu Lu's hand over to look at it. Seeing that the blood had soaked the soil covering the wound and was about to flow down at any moment, she was shocked: "Why is the injury so severe?"

Lu Lu forced a smile: "When I caught Hai Dongqing, I was scratched! It's okay."

"He said it's okay..." Chen Xiuyu glanced around, ran to the ridge with the child in her arms, picked up a handful of wormwood, and without thinking about it, stuffed the wormwood leaves into her mouth, chewed them a few times, and spit them out After returning to Lu Lu's side, he turned to look at Zhao Tuanqing: "Father, give me some smoked noodles!"

When Zhao Tuanqing was called by Chen Xiuyu, he withdrew his attention from Hai Dongqing, looked at the wound on Lu Lu's palm, quickly took out his purse, shook out some smoked noodles, and sprinkled it on Lu Lu's wound.

The smoked noodles have the effect of stopping bleeding, and as soon as it fell on the wound, a sharp pain rushed into the bottom of Lu Lu's heart, making him grinning uncontrollably, and Chen Xiuyu immediately put the chewed wormwood on it, took out a handkerchief and gave it to Lu Lu. Lu Lu bandaged it.

Artemisia seems ordinary, but it is also a good thing that can extract artemisinin.

Needless to say, the combination of the two works quite well, and the bleeding really stopped after being touched like this.

"Go and rinse your mouth!" Lu Lu urged Chen Xiuyu.

The wormwood tastes pungent and bitter, chewing it in the mouth must be a very uncomfortable thing.

"Yeah!" Chen Xiuyu nodded, and walked towards the small river on the ground.

On the other hand, Zhao Tuanqing slowly tightened the fishing net, trapping the sea dongqing until he couldn't move, then wrapped it in the coat he took off, hugged it, and looked at it carefully.

The sharp claws and beak are quite enough to touch casually, so you have to be careful.

"This is Xiao Haidongqing who just came out this year. Look at the mouth, it's still a little tender yellow and soft. If it's an adult, it's much fiercer and harder than this one." Zhao Tuanqing concluded.

Lu Lu nodded, he himself thought it was too easy, probably only young birds are so easy to be fooled.

Costumin lays eggs from May to July, hatches in about 30 days, and leaves the nest after about one and a half months of feeding. Calculating the time, this Costin had not been out of the nest for a long time, at most a month look.

Although he didn't know much about Haidongqing in his previous life, he still knew a little bit.

In fact, in ancient times, Haidongqing did not refer to any particular bird, it referred to the one that stood out among the eagles.

This is like the wolf king among wolves.

Costin can be divided into ordinary and high-quality, and high-quality Costin is the king of kings and the god of eagles.

In fact, whether it is the best or not is judged subjectively by people from the appearance, coat color, claws and other aspects of the eagle.

It's just that the sea dongqing caught now has a special appearance and a handsome appearance, and it stands out from many eagle species.

But in fact, Haidongqing is a gyrfalcon. In ancient China, there were eagle hunting villages dedicated to catching eagles. They caught them all year round, which made the number of Haidongqing, which is rare in China, less, but there are still some in Lao Maozi and Yingjiang A lot of.

Haidongqing has a small body, flies as fast as lightning, has a brave and ferocious temperament, and is good at fighting big with small things. In the early years, when hunting with a knife and bow, he was a good helper for hunting rabbits and catching birds.

But that's not why Costin was precious in the first place.

We all know that hounds are better at helping people hunt. Although there is a saying in the Northeast that "hawks and dogs are priceless", the value of hounds is far from that of Haidongqing.

If birds must be used for hunting, golden eagles are far superior to Costin in both strength and speed, and are easier to obtain than Costin.

The reason why it is valuable is actually because Costin was used to hunt swans at the beginning.

This is a big bird that is three or four times bigger than the sea dongqing. It likes to eat mussels, and pearls can be found in mussels from time to time. When swans eat mussels, they will eat them together with pearls. Pearls cannot be digested in crops, so some people domesticate Hai Dongqing, hunt and kill this kind of swan with strong flying ability, and obtain pearls from crops.

To put it bluntly, from the very beginning, it was famous because it could help people obtain pearls.

Coupled with the blessings of various beliefs, totems and emperors in later generations, Costin has become an existence that ordinary people cannot touch, and it is extremely expensive.

The same goes for Lu Lu, who actually never thought about using this sea dongqing to hunt. The reason why he caught it was purely because it was beautiful and valuable.

The purpose is very clear, keep it, and wait for someone with predestined relationship to come to your door.

Costinins have a long lifespan. They can survive for more than 20 years in the wild, but it will only be longer in domesticated ones.

It is still possible to domesticate it and occasionally take it out for hunting and fun.

Being able to eat and endure hunger is a very good advantage, and it is not so laborious to raise.

Of course, to make it more valuable, it must be well domesticated.

Why do you say that there may be only one Costin among [-] eagles? Because the initial practice is to select one from a bunch of captured eagles for training, and eventually become the heroic and skilled Costin. The probability is comparable to the selection of special forces, and the training requirements are extremely high, which is why they are rare.

To tame a Costin, humans and eagles have to put in several times of effort, and it is quite difficult to make a Costin that is already excellent enough to become the "God of Eagles" and stand at the top of the pyramid .

Now that Costin has been caught, the show can begin.

Therefore, when Lu Lu turned his head to look at Zhao Tuanqing, Zhao Tuanqing immediately knew what Lu Lu wanted to say.

"Don't point out that I alone will help you cook and train... I'm a lot older, but I can't stand it!" Zhao Tuanqing shook his head.

"Isn't it said that older people are sleepy?" Lu Lu asked with a smile.

"I'm not, I've always slept well, and I don't sleep enough!" Zhao Tuanqing denied it.

"This is Haidongqing..." Lu Lu emphasized, watching him hold Haidongqing in a rare way.

"Even if it's Haidongqing... You kid, don't even think about relying on me. You have to domesticate it yourself. I can teach you how to domesticate it, and I can help you with a little favor. The things are your own." .”

Zhao Tuanqing said: "Don't underestimate the hunting ability of this Haidongqing. It can hunt many things, such as swans and big birds flying in the sky, deer and jumping cats running down the ground, all of which will not be let go. However, despite its small size, it is really strong and flexible. If it is tamed, according to the words of your Han people, it will be "reaping the benefits of the fisherman". For example, catching minks, fishing, Catching flying dragons is a good hand..."

After being told by Zhao Tuanqing, Lu Lu was really moved.

Thinking about pulling the yellow on the left and Qingcang on the right, I think it will be very good.

"Okay, I'll do it myself!"

Lu Lu saw Chen Xiuyu coming from the small river, and was about to go home: "Come on, go to my place, and teach me how to boil and train eagles."

Zhao Tuanqing smiled, hugged Hai Dongqing, followed Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu back to the barn, and then rode back on horseback.

Back home, Lu Lu washed the wound on his hand again, found the wound medicine prepared at home, reapplied it on the wound, wrapped it with gauze, then took the child to hold him, and asked Chen Xiuyu to prepare meals.

Zhao Tuanqing went home to get the domestication tools he had left behind from raising kestrels and sent them to Lu Lu.

After Zhao Yongke heard that Lu Lu had caught a sea dongqing, he also ran to Lu Lu's house to see it, which was extremely rare.

The father and son helped each other, took Hai Dongqing out of the fishing net, and tied him to Hai Dongqing first.

Because Hai Dongqing's ankles are thin and easy to be strangled, Zhao Tuanqing asked Chen Xiuyu to find a piece of cotton cloth, wrapped it with two layers of cushions, and tied it with the thin rope he used to weave with deer tendon thread.

Zhao Yongke used a chainsaw to get a tree stump with a branch and came back. He put Hai Dongqing on the branch and tied it with a string.

As soon as he let go of his hand, Hai Dongqing immediately jumped up on the kang, but with his strength, he couldn't shake the tree stump which weighed dozens of kilograms.

"This Haidongqing has a big temper and is full of wildness. After being chained, his temper is even worse. He is very easy to hurt people with his mouth and claws. Be careful about this, don't get too close. The key is, this thing is very picky eater, let's boil it Eagle, even if you leave it alone, don’t give it food and drink, and still can’t let it sleep, you have to sharpen its vigor and arrogance!”

As Zhao Tuanqing said, he glanced at the three lynxes who were staring at him: "There are still three lynxes, so be careful, don't be bitten by them."

Boiled eagle is a very common word in life. If a person does not eat, drink or sleep, he is said to be boiled eagle.

As for the real boiled eagle, after hearing what Zhao Tuanqing said, it was the same thing, nothing more than that it made Haidongqing mentally depressed, tortured by sleepiness and hunger, and had to bow his head.

"How long will it take?" Lu Lu asked.

"If it's an adult, it will take seven or eight days for the few, and half a month for the more. However, this sea dongqing is still young. I estimate that it should only take four or five days to complete the work. Wait It can't stand on this pier and falls down, and it can eat whatever it is given, and when its hostility is not so strong, it will be considered."

"Four or five days...it's not very long, father, these two days will be troublesome for you to live in this big kang, we two, take turns, I don't believe it can't be cured!" Lu Lu said with a smile .

The palm of his right hand was injured, so he probably won't be able to do much in the past two days. It's good to take care of the children and cook for a while.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong, and Lu Lu hurriedly asked: "Father, I seem to have heard people say that when the eagle is boiled, you have to look at the eagle. When the eagle loses, it is considered a victory." .”

"The one you mentioned is to boil the goshawk (yellow eagle). Different eagles have different cooking methods. It's not that complicated. You just need to feed what you want. When people touch it, they don't know how to attack!"

Zhao Tuanqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have an old eagle catcher I know in the Yingtun in Changbai Mountain, who taught me the method. This is how my kestrels were boiled before, and the method is easy to use."
