The two brothers Gong Jian hurried home from the back mountain. On the way, they inevitably met one or two villagers who had gone out earlier. The two brothers had already returned from collecting firewood at such an early hour, so they complimented them a few times.
sentence.
After all, everyone in the village probably knows about their family's situation. The children are all hard-working and motivated young people, but unfortunately they have been dragged down by their family, which is really poor.
As soon as he got home, Gong Yu opened the door and rushed into the yard. Gong Jian followed behind and closed the door. At this time, Gong Yue jumped out of the kitchen and was about to ask, but was stopped by her elder brother.
Gong Jian didn't want the villagers to know so quickly that they could catch prey at the foot of the mountain. It was better to wait for him to catch more prey and then slowly let others know about it. Otherwise, the people near the mountain
The prey was definitely not enough for the people of Chenjiacun, so they went out together to encircle and suppress them.
Gongyue was also smart. When she saw her eldest brother's eyes, she immediately understood what he meant. She quickly called the brothers into the house and deliberately said loudly: "Brother, second brother, breakfast is ready. Come in and eat quickly."
.”
The two brothers immediately followed her greeting and entered the main room together. Without any delay at all, the three children came to their parents' house again.
Gong Jian's father had a rare opportunity today. With the help of their mother, he was half leaning on the bedside, waiting for the brothers to return.
As soon as the two entered the house, they didn't say anything. No words were better now. Let them see the prey directly, which made them even happier. The brothers immediately put aside the branches for cover and took out the prey.
Gongyue jumped up happily next to her, her eldest brother had really caught a prey. Their parents were also very happy when they saw the pheasant in the eldest son's hand and the rabbit in the arms of the younger son.
They really had no other choice, so they reluctantly agreed to let their eldest son go hunting. In fact, the couple didn't have high hopes, but they didn't expect that the eldest son had hunted a rabbit yesterday, and after just one night, another one happened today.
A rabbit and a pheasant were hunted.
Gong Yu was laughing beside him. Gong Jian quickly explained to his parents that the rabbit was caught in a trap on the mountain, and that the pheasant was discovered by them when they were checking the water pool and hit with stones.
After hearing Gong Jian's words, their parents were even more surprised. They didn't expect that their eldest son was so powerful. It might have been an accident, but once again, the eldest son hit the prey with only stones. This can only show that he is indeed.
He has the ability to hunt.
Gong Jian's father kept saying excitedly: "Okay. Okay. Okay." Their mother turned her head, wiped her red eyes, and then looked at the rabbit in her second son's hand.
She quickly said: "You guys have breakfast first. I'll kill this rabbit and skin it. Together with yesterday's rabbit skin, I'll go to town and sell it today. I just happened to buy a few kilograms of rice and noodles and I'll make them for you tonight."
A delicious meal.”
At this time, Gong Yue had already moved close to Gong Yu, touching the docile hare together. Children have no resistance to such furry animals.
When she heard her mother's words, she immediately couldn't bear it. But what her mother said was right, so the two of them could only turn to their elder brother for help.
After receiving the request from his younger siblings, Gong Jian coughed, straightened his back, turned to his mother and said.
"Mom, don't worry about killing this rabbit. I want to keep it for a while. If the trap on the mountain can catch another rabbit, we might as well keep a male and a female and let them have little rabbits. After all, we don't go deep into the mountains and prey on the periphery of the mountains.
There will come a day when we will all be killed."
Gong Jian's mother was stunned: "Isn't this a hare? Can it be raised?" Gong Jian hurriedly comforted his mother: "Mom, don't worry, my second brother promises to be able to raise these rabbits."
At this time, their mother had also realized that her youngest son and daughter could not bear to kill the rabbit. The eldest son even stood on the side of the two younger ones.
She thought in her mind for a while, and then sighed: "Then do as you say." As a mother, she indeed owed these children too much. She just had to satisfy them, this little one.
request.
When Gong Yu and Gong Yue heard that their mother agreed to keep the rabbit, they couldn't help but cheered.
Gong Jian said deliberately and seriously from the side: "You must take good care of it. In the future, the eldest brother will bring other rabbits to you." The brother and sister immediately promised that they would not let the eldest brother down.
Gong Jian's parents were so happy when they saw their child. They both looked at each other and smiled. It had been a long time since the family had been so happy as today.
Soon, several people had a simple breakfast. Gong Jian planned to take the pheasants and yesterday's rabbit skins to the town and sell them for money.
Gong Jian's mother works a part-time job, and yesterday was the last day, so she won't go to town today and has to take care of the housework at home.
She found a backpack for Gong Jian, put the things in the backpack, and put some dry firewood on it. Although the family didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that they couldn't let others find out so early that they could easily hunt in the back mountains.
prey.
Gong Jian carried a basket on his back and set off directly. It took about an hour to walk from Chenjia Village to the town. Of course, you could spend a penny to ride on the village's ox cart, but Gong Jian felt that the ox cart would save some energy.
, but the speed is really not complimentable.
Of course, in his heart, he always felt that it was not difficult to walk for a long time, and the speed was much faster than that of an ox cart. Besides, taking an ox cart to the town, it was inevitable that he would meet other people in the village. This village
Most of the women there were talkative, and he really didn't want to be with them.
So Gong Jian would rather choose to walk to the town on the 11th Road. His long legs really came into use this time, and just half an hour later, Gong Jian walked to the town. And he
There was just a thin layer of sweat on his face.
Gong Jian is very satisfied with his current physical strength, but he cannot remember how he has such strong physical strength. But he believes that he must be stronger and have better physical strength than those farmers in the village who work in the fields all year round.
A lot. If he were asked to carry goods at the dock again now, he would definitely not collapse from exhaustion like before.
As he walked towards the town with his backpack on his back, he was thinking about where to sell his goods. Not to mention the pheasant, there was only one restaurant in the town, so he could only try his luck at that one.
As for the rabbit skin, Gong Jian remembered that he was copying books for others in the town. When he was writing letters, he also listened to others chatting and learned some things. (To be continued)
