Chapter 222: Go to Town

The two Gong Jian brothers hurried home from the back mountain. On the way, I inevitably met again, one or two villagers who went out earlier. For the fact that it was so early, the brothers had already come back from collecting firewood, so they praised a few words in passing.

After all, the situation of their family is probably known to the people in the village. Several children are hard-working and motivated seedlings, but unfortunately they are dragged down by the family, and the family is really poor.

As soon as he arrived home, Gong Yu rushed into the courtyard as soon as he pushed the door. Gong Jian followed behind and closed the door casually. At this time, Gong Yue suddenly jumped out of the kitchen, and just as she was about to ask, she was stopped by her eldest brother.

Gong Jian didn't want to be known by the villagers so quickly, and they would be able to hunt their prey at the foot of the mountain. It's better to wait for him to catch more prey, and then slowly let others know about it. Otherwise, the prey near the mountain will definitely not be enough for the people of Chenjia Village to go out to encircle and suppress together.

Gong Yue is also smart, she saw the eyes of her eldest brother and immediately understood what he meant. She hurriedly beckoned the brothers into the house, and deliberately said in a loud voice: "Big brother, second brother, breakfast is ready." Come into the house and eat. ”

The brothers were immediately beckoned by her and entered the hall together. Without any delay, the three children were again at their parents' house.

Gong Jian's father was rare today, with the help of their mother, half-leaning on the head of the bed. They are waiting for the return of the brothers.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, they didn't say anything, and now they couldn't speak any language, so that they could see their prey directly, and they were even happier. The brothers immediately put aside the branches they were covering and took out their prey.

Gong Yue jumped up happily next to her, the eldest brother really caught the prey. Their parents were also very happy when they saw the pheasant in the hands of the eldest son and the rabbit in the arms of the younger son.

They really had no choice, so they reluctantly agreed to let their eldest son go hunting. In fact, the couple didn't have too much luxury, but they didn't expect that the eldest son hunted a rabbit yesterday, not to mention, only one night later, and today he hunted a rabbit and a pheasant.

Gong Yu was laughing beside him. Gong Jian hurriedly explained to his parents that the rabbit was caught by a trap on the mountain, and the pheasant was found by them when they were inspecting the waterhole and hit with stones.

Listening to Gong Jian's words, their parents were even more surprised, they didn't expect that their eldest son was really so powerful. Once it may have been accidental, but the eldest son once again hit the prey with only stones, which can only show that he does have the ability to hunt.

Gong Jian's father kept saying excitedly: "Okay." Good. Good. Their mother turned her head away, wiped her reddened eyes, and then looked at the rabbit in the second son's hand.

She hurriedly said, "You eat breakfast first, and I'll go and kill this rabbit, skin it, and sell it in town today along with yesterday's rabbit skin." Just buy a few catties of rice and noodles and come back, and cook a delicious meal for you in the evening. ”

At this time, Gong Yue had already come to Gong Yu's side and touched the docile hare together. Children just don't have any resistance to this furry animal.

As soon as she heard her mother's words, she immediately felt a little unbearable. But what the mother said was right, and the two of them could only turn their attention to the eldest brother for help.

Gong Jian received the request of his younger brother and sister, coughed hurriedly, straightened his back, and turned to his mother and said.

"Mom, this rabbit is not in a hurry to kill. I want to raise them for a while, and if the traps in the mountains can catch rabbits again, we will simply leave a male and a female and let them give birth to rabbits. After all, we don't go deep into the mountains, and the prey on the outskirts of the mountains will always be killed one day. ”

Gong Jian's mother was stunned: "Isn't this a hare?Can you raise it?" Gong Jian hurriedly comforted his mother: "Mother, you can rest assured, the second brother guarantees that he can raise these rabbits well." ”

At this time, their mother had already seen that her little son and little daughter couldn't bear to kill the rabbit. The eldest son is on the side of the two youngest.

She thought in her heart for a while, and then sighed for a long time: "Then do what you say." "She, as a mother, does owe too much to these children. Just meet their little request.

As soon as Gong Yu and Gong Yue heard their mother's consent and they left the rabbit, they couldn't help but cheer.

Gong Jian said deliberately solemnly beside him: "You have to take good care of it, and in the future, the eldest brother will bring other rabbits to you." The brother and sister immediately hurriedly promised that they would not disappoint the eldest brother.

Gong Jian's parents were so happy when they saw their child. The two also looked at each other and smiled. It's been a long time, and the family hasn't been happier than today.

Soon, a few people simply had breakfast. Gong Jian plans to bring pheasants and yesterday's rabbit skins to the town and sell them for money.

Gong Jian's mother, who works odd jobs, was on her last day yesterday, so she won't go to town today and has to take care of the housework at home.

She found a basket for Gong Jian, put things in the basket, and put some dry firewood on it. Although the family didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that they couldn't let others find prey so early when they discovered that the back mountain could easily hunt prey.

Gong Jian carried the basket on his back and set off directly. From Chenjia Village to the town, it takes about an hour to walk. Of course, you can make an ox cart in the village for a penny, but Gong Jian feels that although the ox cart can save some physical strength, the speed is really not complimentary.

Of course, in his heart, he always felt that it was not difficult for him to walk on foot for this time, and the speed was much faster than that of an ox cart. Besides, if you go to town in an ox cart, you will inevitably meet other people in the village. Most of the women in the village were talkative, and he really didn't want to be with them.

So Gong Jian would rather choose to walk to the town by the eleventh road. His two long legs really came into use this time, and just after half an hour, Gong Jian walked to the town. And his face was just a thin layer of sweat.

Gong Jian is very satisfied with his physical strength now, but he doesn't remember how he has such strong physical strength. But he believed that he would definitely have greater strength and physical strength than those farmers in the village who were in the fields all year round. Now, if he is allowed to go to the dock to carry the goods again, he will definitely not be as tired as before.

He walked into town with his basket on his back as he pondered where to sell his food. Don't talk about that pheasant, there is such a restaurant in this town, and you can only try your luck at that one.

As for the rabbit skin, Gong Jian remembers that he copied books for people in the town, and when he wrote letters, he also listened to others chat and knew some things.
