The story takes place in the Ilantu Mountains on the Kazakh side of the China-Kazakhstan border. One morning in the spring of that year, Mikhan took his treasure, the golden eagle, and prepared to go out hunting in the mountains. He stepped on his horse, let the golden eagle stand on his shoulder, and went hunting in the mountains.
The golden eagle was obtained by Mi Khan when he was very young, when it was a young eagle, and it was bought by Mi Khan for five good horses from the hands of a group of passing caravan leaders. Taming an eagle is a very hard job, and you must feed it from an early age, speak to it, and imprint your tone deeply in its mind. Wait until adulthood to identify the skin and fur of the animal to be hunted, and familiarize it with the breath and characteristics of the prey, a process that takes 3 to 4 years. Slowly, it grew into a large golden eagle, until one day, it captured a golden fox. This made Mikhan extremely excited, this marked the maturity of his golden eagle, and now it is only a veritable hunting eagle.
The cool breeze in the mountains and the birds sing in unison make people feel relaxed.
Suddenly, the golden eagle on its shoulder scanned the left and right sides, looking for prey.
Suddenly, before Mi Khan could give orders, it suddenly shook its body, like an arrow off the string spreading its wings and taking off, which surprised Mi Khan very much. He hurriedly looked up, only to find two golden eagles circling side by side in the sky. Where did this eagle come from? Is it a male or a female? Is it hard to be your own heart and liver baby who looks at it? Mikhan's heart was very confused, and he couldn't sort out a clue. He blew a whistle to get it back. Strangely, the golden eagle refused to obey the order and did not see the flight back for a long time. This made Mikhan feel very bad, knowing that his treasure had never been good at asserting it. People often use their own psychology to guess the behavior of animals, and at this moment, Mikhan feels that this wild eagle is going to lead his heart and liver baby. Of course, he only guessed half right.
The female eagle flying from the sky was her biological mother. Perhaps the caravan passed by, and it happened that the mother eagle was out hunting, so she took it away and reached the hands of Mikhan. It also happened that the hunting passed through here and met his son unexpectedly. They were circling and talking in the clearing. Perhaps the mother was persuading her son to leave the hunter and live a free life. The son was grateful for Mikhan's nurturing grace and did not want to leave. So there was a dispute between mother and son, and no one could convince anyone.
Suddenly, the wild eagle folded its wings, and a whirlwind swooped straight into Mi Khan. After that, the golden eagle also followed. Maybe. Perhaps the mother eagle could not convince the golden eagle, so she transferred her resentment to the man on the horse.
Without giving Mikhan much time to reflect, the wild eagle had already stretched out its hook-like claws and directly scratched his shoulders and clothes with skin and flesh. Mi Khan rolled over and fell off his horse, and the wild eagle pounced on it again, pecking at Mi Khan with a sharp beak. Mi Khan dodged on the spot with a thrilling roll on the spot, and the wild eagle instigated his wings to stretch out his sharp claws again to grab Mi Khan, which frightened him into crawling with a rolling belt and wanted to hide under the horse's belly, who knew that this old horse directly spread its legs on all four legs and ran down the mountain, maybe it had never seen such a scene in its life.
After all, Mi Khan did not escape the clutches of the wild eagle, his skin was fleshy, even the bones were exposed, and when the wild eagle pounced on it again, the golden eagle that had been watching the battle for a long time came out. At first, it just wanted the mother to vent her hatred, but when the mother wanted to kill the master, it had to intervene. For it, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to have both. Which side should it be biased towards?
Eventually, it made the choice to drive away its mother and save its master.
So it flapped its wings to block its mother's frantic attack, and pecked at its mother with its beak to show its determination to protect its master.
And Mi Khan, who fell to the ground, was already frightened, and he only saw that in the sky, two golden eagles were fighting each other, grabbing each other with their claws, and stirring up the dust on the ground with their wings, like two knights fighting, from the sky to the ground, and from the ground to the sky. I saw pieces of white feathers falling from the clear blue sky, like snow. Then he had black eyes and passed out directly, and he bled too much.
When Mikhaan woke up, there was silence all around, and only his golden eagle was guarding him tightly. Until a long time, passing pedestrians arrived, people cut off branches with all their hands and feet, put up a stretcher, and carried Mikhan up, and in this way, people carried the hunter and his golden eagle down the mountain.
In the distance, in mid-air, a series of terrible cries came from time to time, piercing the long sky, and suddenly the silence could not be heard. The mournful cry seemed to echo, a curse to mankind, or a cry like a son's cry? No one knows this.
Of course, Mikhan did not know that he only drove away a wild eagle as his own baby. But he did not know how much suffering the golden eagle had endured today, driving away his mother, giving up his freedom, and willingly becoming his slave. In the world of sculpture, it is a shameful traitor. From this day on, Mikhan's heart and liver baby, like a sinner, were saddled with heavy shackles.
A few months later, it was early winter, the grass on the ground had dried up, and the leaves on the trees had fallen. Mikhan's body had long since recovered, and there was nothing but a scar on his shoulder, and his heart was already itchy, and he had to take the golden eagle to hunt. At this time, the mountain was full of dead yellow leaves, not even a bird, perhaps they flew elsewhere, leaving only a few dozen old crows cooing and singing. The little golden eagle seemed to have grown again, with a wingspan of nearly three meters. The beak was like a sharp sword, the claws were like polished steel hooks, the eyes were golden, the look was mighty, and the style was beautiful.
After walking for a long time and not seeing any prey, Mi Khan felt that the hunt was unlucky and prepared to fight back home. Just then a wild boar with jagged fangs came out of the bushes. The Golden Eagle found the wild boar and prepared to attack only by waiting for the order of Mi Khan. At this time the wild boar ran up to an open area, and in the distance, there was another wood, which was not suitable. Without missing the opportunity, Mikhan decisively released the golden eagle and said, "Baby, go, grab it." ”
The golden eagle flew in response, like an off-string arrow straight into the back of a wild boar. At this time, the wild boar was fast entering the woods, and as soon as it entered the woods, the golden eagle could not help it. Right now. The golden eagle's sharp claws immediately grabbed the wild boar's neck, and the wild boar suddenly let out a harsh scream, shaking the dead leaves and rustling, frightening the crows hiding in the trees to scatter and fly. At this time, the claws of the golden eagle poked into the neck of the wild boar, and the wild boar howled and dragged the golden eagle towards the woods. No, Mikhan knew in his heart that if the wild boar escaped into the woods, it would not be the golden eagle that caught the wild boar, but the golden eagle's life would be in danger.
Mikhan was suddenly distraught, and he rushed into the woods, but the forest became more and more dense, and he quickly ran forward with the blood left by the wild boars on the ground. After a while, he found a golden eagle claw at the white trunk of a large white tree, dripping bright red blood, flowing down the white bark. Mikhan recognized at a glance that this was the left paw of his heart and liver baby. Mikhan ran lifelessly, he crossed a forest, then through an open field, and then into a forest; Finally, he found the dead wild boar in the bushes, and beside the wild boar lay the golden eagle that was extremely heroic and did not give up its prey until death.
Mikhan was distraught, and he thought that it was his treasure that caught the wild boar, and the wild boar ran wildly, and it wanted to stop the wild boar from running wildly, and with one claw it clutched the trunk of the poplar tree, while the other claw still grasped the neck of the wild boar, so it created this murderous disaster.
People often like to guess the behavior of animals with their own minds, Mikhan may be right, the golden eagle wants to grasp the trunk of the tree with one claw, the other claw to catch the wild boar, it wants to live the wild boar to do meritorious service for the owner, so that it is busy tearing its own claws. But why can't we guess that this is the golden eagle's loss of survival since the last time it drove away its mother, and this time it has made the fight with the wild boar the last fight of its life?
Even if loyalty and filial piety cannot be perfect, why should I be born secretly in the world?
