"Lu Qingyang, come and see, this egg... the egg, it broke by itself."
"ah?"
This was something Lu Qingyang had not expected. He leaned over to take a look and saw that the eggshell was cracked.
A gray, wet little guy crawled out from inside, looking as ugly as could be.
Shen Mo sighed: "Isn't this inedible?"
"There is another one..."
As soon as Lu Qingyang finished speaking, the other eggshell cracked.
Or maybe you said that instead of eating the eagle eggs, you captured two eagles?
Lu Qingyang didn't know what species of eagle this was.
"How about returning it?"
Chen Mo was silent for a while: "If we send them back, they will definitely be pecked to death by the mother eagle. It is better to keep them here. As for whether they can survive, it depends on their own luck."
She placed the two eaglets next to the stove to keep them warm.
After their feathers dried and became a little more fluffy than before, Shen Mo put the two eaglets into the chicken coop.
Lu Qingyang felt something was wrong: "Eagle and chicken's natural enemies, why are you putting them together?"
Chen Mo teased the two little eagles, "They are so small, we can't swallow them all. They will be warmer if they sleep with the chicks."
Lu Qingyang was cooking fish in the pot, while he was processing some small fish. He planned to dry the fish and make dried fish.
For human consumption, sprinkle a little seasoning powder on it. As for other small animals, they can be eaten without adding seasoning. Dried small fish are also easy to preserve.
As for the fried eagle eggs with Chinese toon, there is no hope for it today.
"Okay, come over and eat. If you don't come, I'll eat it all."
"I'll be right there!"
Shen Mo just tried to feed the eaglets rice bran, but they were not interested at all.
There was no other way, so she grabbed a handful of rice, but the young eagles just stretched their necks and didn't eat the rice at all.
Shen Mo could only go eat first, chewing the fish and asked:
"What on earth are they going to eat?"
"Young eagles should eat meat, right?"
Shen Mo looked at the small fish next to her and picked one up directly, "Do you think they eat this?"
"Should we eat it?"
Shen Mo finished her meal in a hurry, then went to see the young eagles and fed them the small fish.
“They ate it, they really ate it.” She exclaimed in surprise: “So they eat small fish?”
"Not just small fish, they should eat all kinds of meat. These small fish have a lot of bones. You can catch some caterpillars for them to eat next time."
Shen Mo shook her head in disdain: "It's good to have something to eat. My chickens don't even have bugs to eat."
A fragrance suddenly filled the air at the tip of her nose, and Shen Mo sniffed.
"We've finished eating, what delicious food are you still making?"
"Dried fish, would you like to try it?"
Lu Qingyang sprinkled a little salt, chili powder, and cumin powder on the dried fish, put it on a plate in front of Shen Mo.
"Try it, how does it taste?"
In the past, Chen Mo would never eat fish that were so small that the meat could not be eaten.
She picked up a small dried fish and stuffed the whole thing into her mouth, leaving only the tail.
As I chewed it, I could actually taste the flavor. "It's fragrant and crispy, and there are no fish bones! Delicious!"
Not only are there no fish bones, but the fish bones are all crispy.
Lu Qingyang took a few and gave them to the dogs, which received unanimous praise.
"If you feel bored at work in the future, you can chew some dried fish instead."
“Good idea.”
Although Shen Mo said that she would not care about the young eagles, she went out early the next morning to look for insects.
Lu Qingyang was repairing the canal with the educated youth.
I'm very busy these days, so I guess I won't be able to sneak up the mountain anymore.
Shen Mo climbed up the tree, found some caterpillars, put them into a small bag, and prepared to take them back to feed the young eagle.
When she looked up, she found an eagle circling overhead, so she quickly crawled over.
For some reason, she felt a little guilty when she saw the eagle.
So he quickly took Chong떚 back home and fed the two eaglets and three chickens in the house.
After a few days, the young eagle grew some gray hair on its body and was even bigger than a chicken. Sometimes it would bully the hen at home.
Shen Mo had to take them out of the chicken coop.
Moreover, the appetites of these young eagles were growing bigger and bigger, and she had lost her patience catching insects every day.
Good Uncle Tie and Jin Feng came to deliver some herbs, and Uncle Tie saw the young eagle in the yard at a glance.
"Where did this come from?" He squatted and looked at it carefully.
"Lu Qingyang brought them out from the forest. He originally wanted to eat the eagle eggs, but he was almost tortured to death by these two eaglets."
When the two eaglets see people, they will stretch their heads out and open their mouths wide, waiting to be fed.
"This is called a Crested Honey Buzzard. Doesn't its head look a bit like a phoenix?"
Chen Mo and Jin Feng looked at them for a long time but couldn't see any resemblance.
Uncle Tie explained with a smile: "Maybe they haven't grown up yet. You'll be able to tell when they grow up."
"Since it has grown this big, you should continue to feed it. After a while, you can start training it."
Jin Feng's eyes were full of curiosity: "Falcon training?"
"We have people of several ethnic groups here, and they like to train eagles to help them hunt. Eagles are unrivaled in the sky and can catch fish and small animals.
I am quite capable. When I was young, I also saved an eagle. Unfortunately, after it flew away, it never came back. "Uncle Tie's tone was slightly melancholy.
Looking at the green worms in Shen Mo's bag, he smiled and said, "They can also eat meat strips. Now that they are this big, they can all be eaten. There is no need to bother looking for worms."
"Then I can still barely keep him alive."
When Lu Qingyang came back in the evening, Shen Mo told him about eagle training.
"Uncle Tie said that the Crested Honey Buzzard is difficult to train, so why don't we each get one?"
Lu Qingyang really didn't think of it at first, but after hearing this, he thought it was a good idea.
Now he could get a lot of information about the forest through animals, but none of them could fly. He needed a trained eagle that could get information about higher and farther places.
"Okay."
To be precise, Lu Qingyang did not spend much effort to train the eagles. He only needed to give them some spiritual spring water so that they could communicate.
Who would have thought that the young eagle's mother would find this place and hover on the roof of Shen Mo's house.
Not only that, the eagle also found a few companions. Five or six crested honey buzzards were circling overhead, and there was a danger of swooping down and pecking people at any time.
"It seems that this eagle can't be tamed?"
Lu Qingyang did not expect that the mother eagle would be so persistent.
In this case, it is better to keep them all.
Shen Mo fed them for a few days, but she still felt reluctant to let them go: "I raised them."
"If you like it, I'll go find two more eggs someday. Don't feel wronged!"
Shen Mo reluctantly untied the straps on the young eagle's legs: "Perhaps you prefer the days of freedom in the sky to here."
It's a pity that the feathers of these two are not fully developed yet, so they can't fly at all.
Moreover, Lu Qingyang also knew that an eagle must fall from a high place before it can fully learn to fly, which is something that humans cannot do.
