Chapter 218: The Second Brother is Back
The room was quiet for a while, and then Gong Jian's mother slowly said a sentence: "Jian'er, what you said is true?"
Gong Jian nodded seriously, "Yes, mother, the rabbit I picked up just now was killed by me with a stone." ”
He waited for a while, looked at his parents, and finally digested the information, and then continued: "I see a lot of prey on the mountain. I want to go there more often, and I guess I can catch other prey. ”
When his mother heard him say this, she hurriedly stopped: "No, you can't go." There are fierce beasts in that mountain, and it is very dangerous. ”
Gong Jian didn't want his mother to worry, he quickly explained: "Mother, don't worry. I don't go to the mountains. I only wandered around the periphery, and today I went to collect firewood, and I didn't go much inside, and I saw the rabbit. I guess there are quite a few prey in the mountains. I promise. I don't go into the mountains, mother, don't worry. ”
Gong Jian's mother wanted to open her mouth again to persuade her, but was stopped by her husband who was lying on the bed. "Gong Jian wants to go, then let him do it. He's measured, and you see he's doing things now, and he's getting more and more reliable. ”
Gong Jian's father knew that there were indeed fierce beasts in this deep mountain, but there were not many, and there was a hunter in Chenjia Village before. The family made their fortune hunting, and eventually moved to the city. There is no one in Chenjia Village, who wants to follow his family's example, but the technology is not proficient. After entering the mountains several times, they all returned empty-handed, and gradually no one went into the mountains to hunt anymore.
His eldest son also said that he killed the rabbit with just a stone today, and if he has this talent, then this is a good way. My body has indeed dragged down the family a lot. The last acre of land in his family was also sold in the spring of this year because of the deterioration of his condition.
Now at home, it all depends on his eldest son, and now that he has the idea of supporting his family, all he can do now is to fully support him.
Gong Jian's mother saw that her husband had agreed, and she opened her mouth and did not say anything against it.
Seeing that his parents had agreed, Gong Jian continued: "There is one more thing, I asked my little sister to call my second brother back. I want my second brother to join me and set up some traps at the foot of the mountain. This makes it easier to capture prey. ”
"What is it? Can it be used for hunting?" Gong Jian's mother didn't care, Gong Jian said that if she called her youngest son back, she must have felt very sorry for her younger son. She just heard her eldest son say a strange word, and she didn't understand it.
Gong Jian was also stunned, he looked at the side, and also looked at his father with confused eyes. It seems that his parents don't know how to use traps to hunt.
He searched in his mind, as if in his memory, he had never heard of anyone hunting with traps. Hey, how did you know how to use traps?
Gong Jian frowned and thought carefully, for some reason there was always a place in his head that seemed to be chaotic, but he soon found it, and explained to himself and his family, "Oh, I saw it in a book." I just don't remember which one, but it was indeed introduced above, and this method of hunting is very convenient. ”
As he spoke, he gave a brief introduction to a few simple ways to set traps. Gong Jian's parents, after listening to him explain this, understood a little.
Indeed, as Gong Jian said, there is no danger in hunting with this method. Moreover, the trap is there, and as long as it is not destroyed, prey will come to the door at any time. It's a great way to save yourself a lot of hassle.
Gong Jian's father sat up excitedly: "Okay, I'll just say that it's good to let children study." You see, you know a lot, and with this method, your mother can rest assured. ”
Gong Jian saw that he had done his parents' work, and immediately got up: "Daddy, you rest first, I'll go and deal with the rabbit." ”
His mother hurriedly grabbed him and didn't let him go out: "You don't need to clean up, I'll take care of it." ”
How could Gong Jian, let his mother, who had been tired for a day, do this again, of course, he had to rush to do it himself. Just when the two refused to give in to each other, Gong Yue's cheerful voice suddenly came from his ears: "Dad, mother, eldest brother, I brought the second brother back." ”
Gong Jian hurriedly walked out of the house and came to the courtyard. He saw his brother and sister smiling and looking at him. "Big brother. His honest second brother spoke first. A fourteen-year-old boy with a somewhat thin build. The skin that was originally a little dark was now darkened.
Gong Jian stepped forward distressedly and patted his thin shoulder: "Second brother, it's good for you to come back." ”
Next to her, Gong Yue had already begun to deal with the rabbits: "Second brother, there is rabbit meat to eat tonight." Landlord Chen is really black-hearted, I said to let the second brother go home, but they still relied on it, and finally I said I wouldn't do it in a fit of anger, and pulled the second brother and left. ”
The swarthy young man smiled innocently, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth. Turning his head, he looked at Gong Jian with a look of admiration: "Big brother, I heard Xiaoyue say, you hit this rabbit, you are really amazing." ”
Gong Jian patted him on the shoulder: "Big brother has other ways to catch rabbits, and I will teach you later." In the future, there will be meat to eat at home. ”
When Gong Yu heard his eldest brother say this, he was even more excited. "Great, big brother, I'll hunt with you in the future. ”
On the way back, his sister had already told him that his eldest brother would not let him go to Landlord Chen's house to work again. The family is really black-hearted, treating their half-grown child as an adult, but the salary they give is half of the other family's.
Today, little sister, call yourself home in advance. The family even deducted their wages for various reasons, and in the end they got only a dozen cents.
Gong Yu is just honest and honest, he is not stupid. Of course, it is clear what to do is more beneficial to the family. If he hadn't refused to ask for it elsewhere before, he wouldn't have gone to a child as old as himself, and the black-hearted landlord Chen's family would have worked.
At this time, their mother also came out of the house, and when she saw her second son full of distress, she hurriedly beckoned Gong Yu to come over and carefully inquired about his life these days.
Gong Jian turned his head and found that his little sister Gong Yue had completely peeled off the rabbit's skin and was cleaning the rabbit's internal organs. This little girl is smart and clever, and she is even faster and better at doing things.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his younger brothers and sisters were so capable, and he would have to work harder in the future. To let them live a good life, to cure their father's illness, and to let their mother stop working like that.
