This time, Gong Jian came to the town and sold the game he hunted to a grocery store. After that, he went to buy some necessities. With the rest of the money, he simply went to the market and bought a dozen or so chickens. In this way, the copper plate on his body was used again.

Before lunch, Gong Jian rushed back home. As soon as he entered the door, he didn't have time to drink, and the cool white opened that the little sister sent over, he was pulled by Gong Yu and walked towards the backyard.

As soon as he arrived in the backyard, Gong Yu immediately said excitedly: "Big brother, the big gray rabbit is born!"

What? This time it's Gong Jian's turn to be stupid.

It was rare for Gong Yu to see his eldest brother show such an expression. He smiled innocently, and pulled Gong Jian to the rabbit cage. At this time, in the corner where the gray rabbit had curled up in the morning, it had been cushioned with thick hay by Miyayu. In the middle of the haystack, the gray rabbit was lying there, and it seemed much calmer than it had been in the morning.

Gong Jian looked left and right curiously: "I didn't see the little rabbit." ”

Gong Yu hurriedly said: "Right under its belly, each one is very small, without hair, and its eyes are not open. Because I was worried about the big ash, I didn't do anything today, and I just watched it from the sidelines. Or I wouldn't have found out. ”

At this time, Gong Yu still had the anxious look of the morning, and changed to a happy smile, "When I told my father and little sister just now, they also had the same expression you just had." It's so funny, Big Gray really makes me angry. ”

Only then did Gong Jian know that the second brother was careful. Looking at the naughty second brother in front of him, Gong Jian felt that he was more at ease like this.

At this time, Gong Jian also understood why the gray rabbit was able to curl up in his second brother's arms so quietly after being rescued from the trap that day. And when I got home, it was so abnormal again. It turned out to be a mother rabbit and was about to give birth.

He patted Gong Yu on the shoulder: "Second brother, you have to take care of these rabbits in the future." Now it's better to let outsiders see it as good as it gets, and it will frighten it and the little rabbit. ”

Gong Yu nodded hurriedly: "Got it, big brother, I will definitely take care of them." ”

In this way, as the little rabbit grows up day by day. They grow, a shallow layer of fluff, and they open their eyes, and they see, the world outside. Gong Jian's family also began to have, and it changed dramatically.

First of all, with Gong Jian hunting in the mountains, their family can eat some meat every few days to improve their diet. The shriveled cheeks of the younger siblings finally slowly plumped up again.

Gong Jian's father's condition has also stabilized. The doctor in the town came to see him, gave him another pulse, and the prescription was also modified a little. Now, he is no longer the father who can only sleep most of the time.

Although he can't move yet, he can usually sit on the bed and help rub some hemp rope or weave some small items such as baskets.

My mother's cheeks gradually became rosy, her skin was no longer so dull and gray, and her expression was much more relaxed than before. She looked several years younger than when Gong Jian woke up.

At this time, it was the end of autumn, and Gong Jian planned to save some leather. In winter, you can make some clothes for everyone to keep warm. Although I don't dare to wear it outside, I think it will be better for my family to have a better winter when I make some fur and shoulders to protect my chest and back.

This day was just in time for him to be fine, so Gong Jian turned out a few rabbit skins he had saved.

After he had this idea, Gong Jian made a number of wooden frames to deal with the dermabrasion. In the first step, he pulls the fur out and places it on a wooden frame.

That is, look at some small holes in the edge of the fur and then use hemp rope to tie these small holes to the edge of the nearby wooden frame. This makes it easier for him to clean and dry the fur.

Gong Jian first chose a knife that was not too sharp. Use it to scrape the fur and remove fat and flesh from the fur.

The knife used in this step should not be too sharp, mainly for fear of cutting the fur. Gong Jian knew that he must pay attention to every bit of flesh on the fur and carefully remove it.

The fur treated in this way will become soft and strong, resistant to tearing, abrasion and deformation. And it will be comfortable to wear, and the heat retention will be good.

For the next few days, Gong Jian put the unfolded fur in the sun and let it evaporate all the water, so that the fur would not rot when it was wet. At this time, it is necessary to rub some salt or some plant ash on the fur to help their water evaporate.

Of course, when doing this step, you must choose good weather and not let the leather come into contact with moisture. When the moisture on the fur has evaporated, it can be easily stored.

In the last step, Gong Jian sinks the cleaned fur into the water with stones, and soaks it in the water for about two to three days.

Gong Ken then simmers the mixture of animal brains and fat on a fire until it becomes very viscous. After doing this, he applied the liquid to both sides of the fur.

Then Gong Jian used cigarettes again and smoked the fur on the fire. This allows the mixture to react with the liquid mixture applied to the fur, which becomes soft and supple.

With these rabbit skins that Gong Jian had saved, after being processed by his mother and little sister, before the cold of winter came, everyone in the Gong family put on a warm fur shoulder. In this way, even in the winter, even if the snow was falling, everyone in the family did not feel cold as before, and this winter was the warmest winter they had ever spent.

Soon another winter arrived, and this year's snow was particularly heavy. The snow covered the mountains, everything was quiet, and the entire mountain village seemed to fall into a stagnation.

Because the animals have been hiding in winter, Gong Jian's hunting career has also come to a standstill for the time being. But he couldn't be idle, and on this day, after breakfast, he discussed with everyone. said that it was a discussion, but in fact, at this time, he had become the backbone and pillar of the family, and almost no one would object to what he said.

"Dad, mother, I plan to go to the town tomorrow, I have one thing, I have to go to the town to find someone to help. ”

Hearing him say this, Gong Yu and Gong Yue said at the same time: "Big brother, I'll go with you." ”

Gong Jian looked at his younger brother and sister, "It's okay to take you there usually, but you have also seen that the snow is not small this time, and I don't know if it will stop tomorrow." The snow is getting knee-deep on the road, so you two might as well stay home. ”

Looking at the little faces of both of them who were a little disappointed, Gong Jian was a little unbearable. My younger siblings are still children, and of course I want to go out and play occasionally.
