【331】Murder (4)

The world is so strange, and good intentions are rewarded. Unexpectedly, out of friendship, we went to pay homage to Captain Wu and Shaowu who sacrificed their lives to protect Master Li, and unexpectedly got clues to solve Captain Hao's strange case.

It was only when we found Yan Ji's Leather Goods Shop that we talked about "crazy eating" with Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan immediately became stern and frightened. He hesitated for a moment and then asked us why we were asking.

That kind of thing.

Looking at Mr. Yan's performance, we know that we have found the right person this time - he must know something about that kind of monster.

Boss Liu immediately offered another foreign cigarette, told Mr. Yan the whole story in a concise manner, and asked Mr. Yan for advice.

Mr. Yan took a few puffs of cigarette, but did not say anything. He stood up, picked up a brush and paper from the counter, dipped in ink, wrote a few words and handed it to us.

A few of us went up to take a look and saw the old man writing two big characters "Bueo" on it!

"Buteo? What, what does this mean?" Platoon Leader Huo was the first to scream when he saw those two big characters.

Let alone Platoon Leader Huo, the rest of us were stunned and confused when we saw those two words.

Because the eagle is a very common large bird of prey; although the buzzard is not as numerous as the eagle, we have seen it. It is just a raptor like the hawk and falcon. Because of its very ferocious nature, it is called a native leopard by the common people.

.

But when these two fierce birds of prey come together, we don't understand what Mr. Yan means.

"Mr. Yan, the buzzard and the eagle are basically two different raptors and vicious birds. Could there be a relationship between them?" Boss Liu asked.

"Well, although wind, horse and cow are unrelated, and horses and cows will never come together no matter how they are in estrus, there are too many strange things in the world!" Mr. Yan said, "A donkey and a horse give birth to a child.

Mules, wolves and dogs give birth to wolf-dogs, etc. I heard that in foreign countries, tigers and lions, lions and leopards can produce cubs when they are together!"

"Mr. Yan, what you mean is that this buzzard is a hybrid between a buzzard and a buzzard?" Platoon leader Huo said it was difficult to understand. "It would be great if these two raptors don't kill each other. How could they still lay eggs and raise young?"

!”

"Platoon Leader Huo, you don't understand this. Wolves and foxes can also give birth to eagles. The hybrids are very smart!" Boss Liu said, "Mr. Yan, this kind of buzzard eagle should be very rare and powerful.

?”

"Well, it is indeed extremely rare, almost the same as Ao, and it is much more powerful than Ao!" Mr. Yan said, "That kind of thing, not only is it extremely smart, but more importantly, it and its parents

It’s different, the mouth is not curved, and it’s almost an inch wide and very sharp, tut tut, it’s really difficult to deal with!”

"Mr. Yan, have you ever seen a buzzard eagle before?" Boss Liu asked.

"Well, I also hunted for a living back then, and I have indeed seen the power of the buzzard eagle. That thing was so weird that it almost took my life away!" Mr. Yan seemed to still be a little bit surprised when he mentioned the buzzard eagle.

It's common to show fear.

"Yes, that kind of hybrid thing is sometimes hard to imagine. Before he joined the army, Mr. Liu, like Mr. Yan, also had a bowl of food from hunting," Mr. Liu said, "Although we don't have such things as buzzards and eagles there.

, but the beast created by the cross between a wolf and a fox is also very powerful and difficult to deal with!"

"I've seen that thing before. It's very smart. It's a pity that it has to rely on wolves to show off its ferocious power. It can't do anything without wolves. And the strange bird like the buzzard is not only extremely smart, but also

You don’t need to use anything else, you can kill and hunt directly, it’s very scary!” Mr. Yan said.

"Haha, Mr. Yan is right. If the buzzard is not only smart, but also has a sharp mouth and can attack its prey from above, it will naturally be very difficult to deal with." Mr. Liu said, "When Mr. Yan met that buzzard,

What’s the specific situation?”

"Hey, meeting that kind of monster almost killed me, it's hard to put it into words!" Mr. Yan said, "Even if you *** have knives and guns, it's best not to mess with it if you can!"

"

"Hehe, the key is that we don't mess with it. It comes to trouble us first. We have no other choice but to find a way to kill it! By the way, can the old gentleman tell us in detail what the buzzard is like?

Smart and powerful?" said Platoon Leader Huo.

"No problem, I will tell you about my experience of meeting that buzzard eagle!" Mr. Yan is worthy of being a hunter, and he is very forthright and straightforward.

So a few of us sat in Yan Ji's shop and listened to Mr. Yan, an old hunter, talk about the past encounter with the buzzard eagle:

Although my son is now engaged in the fur goods business, my ancestors have all made a living by hunting, so I am quite familiar with hunting.

In the mountains and forests of our hometown, although there are no black and blind men like you in the Northeast, there are still many tigers, leopards, pythons, wolves, wild boars, etc.

Although the firecrackers I used back then were not very lethal, I am proficient in bows, arrows, darts, and spears, and I am also very handy with hunting knives. Not to mention setting up stumbling blocks and digging traps.

Moreover, when I was in my prime, I was so bold and powerful that I could kill an adult leopard with just a knife.

Even so, I have basically never gone hunting alone. I have always gone with my neighbors. Because our ancestors have passed down the story that there is a strange bird on the mountain that can play with tigers and wolves, and hunt pigs and sheep.

, even if you encounter a lone hunter, you can still kill someone.

Yes, that strange bird is the buzzard eagle!

Although the hunters have been told by word of mouth that they are quite afraid of buzzards and eagles, there are very few of them after all, and like mules and wolves, they cannot reproduce on their own, so they all rely on the buzzards and eagles to be fed by chance.

It is possible to give birth to that weird thing only when it is in the adult stage of estrus and a male and a female happen to meet.

When I was thirty-six years old, I finally had the opportunity to meet the legendary strange bird.

That autumn, my companion Lao Tan and I went to the depths of the mountains and forests to fight some big guys as usual.

At that time, we dug a big trap in a place where wild boars often hang out. After covering it, we quietly hid nearby and watched. This method will not cause any traps even if we encounter a herd of wild boars.

There is too much danger.

In the evening, I saw a big wild boar shaking its head, sniffing here and there from a distance, and slowly moving towards the trap we dug.

Lao Tan and I looked at each other. Although we were very happy, we held our breath and did not dare to joke, for fear that the cooked duck would fly away.

After digging traps for so many years, we are naturally very meticulous about the details, so even though the big guy kept sniffing here and there, he found nothing unusual and still walked in the direction of the trap step by step.

.

Just when I thought that this time it must be like usual, when the family was sharing hundreds of kilograms of pork, suddenly a black shadow passed from above, almost without any sound, and landed on the wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms like lightning.

If something normally falls on a wild boar, the guy will immediately explode with brute force and rush forward to throw it off.

Unfortunately, before the wild boar could react, a black shadow stretched its head on its neck. Immediately, the hot blood spurted out from under the wild boar's neck. In addition, the black shadow pressed on its body, and it basically struggled a little.

After two clicks, he fell to the ground.

The process was really short. In the blink of an eye, the wild boar weighing hundreds of kilograms died.

All this was seen very clearly by the two of us who were hiding in the dark. The black shadow was not any other ghost, it was just a big bird.

It's just that the big bird should be several feet long from head to tail, and its wings are even more frightening when spread out. Moreover, it looks like an eagle but not an eagle. What's even more strange is its long beak and eyes.

The eyes of the strange bird are not the ordinary black, gray or blue color, but a dazzling blood-red color. That kind of red is different from the gentle red of rabbit eyes, it is completely eye-catching.

A sharp red that chills the heart!

What's even more strange is that its long beak is not as slender and curved as that of an eagle, but as flat as the beak of a duck or goose, but it is much longer and stronger than that of a duck or goose.

The strangest thing is that its neck is almost a foot long. With its long beak, it bends directly under the wild boar's neck and pecks hard at the throat, making a bloody hole in the wild boar's neck.

When the wild boar stopped struggling, the strange bird jumped to the ground and pecked at the wild boar with its strange beak, tearing off a piece of meat in one bite.

Seeing that the prey that was originally ours actually killed a strange bird and became its meal, the two of us were of course very angry. Just when I was considering whether to go over and kill the strange bird, the always impatient old man

Tan didn't even say hello to me, he pulled out his sharp hunting knife and rushed over.

Of course I don't dare to neglect, I'm just afraid that if Lao Tan makes any mistake, it will be in trouble.

Lao Tan quickly rushed towards the strange bird with his sword. I think it was just because of Lao Tan's sturdy body, ferocious appearance, the three-foot sharp blade held in front of his chest, and his fierce tiger

The momentum of attacking the sheep will definitely scare the strange bird into flapping its wings and running away.

What was unexpected was that when the strange bird saw Lao Tan rushing away with his knife raised, instead of running away quickly, it raised its head, stared at Lao Tan very calmly, bowed its head, and made preparations.

As Lei Lei fought back, his blood-red eyes were suddenly filled with murderous intent.

Although hawks, eagles, and harriers are birds of prey, they are still a piece of cake for humans. Those birds of prey have always been shy of humans, lest they accidentally become people's playthings and captives.

I definitely didn't expect that the strange bird in front of me would not run away when it saw the hunter charging at him with a knife, but would instead take a stance to fight it!

Although Lao Tan looks like a rough man with a big body and a round waist, he is not careless in appearance. He naturally knows that in the hunter's business, carelessness can kill people.

So when he saw the posture of the strange bird, he must have understood that the opponent was stopping quietly and was ready to deliver a fatal blow to him at any time, so he immediately slowed down his momentum, holding a knife in his left hand, and took out a flying knife in his right hand, and fiercely

The ground lifted, and a white light aimed at the strange bird and flew over.

The two of us have become good at throwing knives. When we encountered a hare, pig, and badger that was not too far away, we used the throwing knives to hit the target with almost 100% accuracy, defeating the enemy with one move.

Seeing that Lao Tan did not rush forward rashly, but instead threw a flying knife, I slowed down and no longer worried about his situation - the flying knife would not be cut off.

The long neck of the strange bird will also pierce its fatal part.

What I never expected was that when I saw a flash of white light, it was about to stab the strange bird's head and neck, but I saw that it didn't move. With a twist of its long neck, not only did it escape the fatal knife, but its long beak actually caught it from the side.

Got that flying knife!

No wonder that guy dares to confront people. It turns out that he doesn’t have diamond drills and doesn’t do porcelain work! Not only is it extremely responsive, but its long neck is also very flexible. It can drive its long beak around the side of a flying knife in the blink of an eye.

And he opened his sharp beak and caught the flying knife!

Seeing all this, two words immediately appeared in my mind: buzzard!

This strange bird passed down by old hunters from generation to generation unexpectedly made us meet it today!

I knew something was wrong, so I immediately reminded Lao Tan loudly to protect his neck carefully! This is a buzzard eagle!
