It was getting late that day, and Erya only taught everyone to count, and even Hongguo, Anzi, and Xiaolong had to learn together, and they had to compare to see who could learn the fastest. A few big ones can basically be taught, and the three small ones can only be taught to twenty, and then let them slowly familiarize themselves.

It was already dark here, and Xiaohu carried Xiaolong to follow Erya home to sleep.

On the way, Xiaolong was carried by his brother and laughed excitedly! One will rub his brother's hair, and the other will pinch his brother's ears. ** Xiaohu wanted to throw it down, so he giggled and hugged his brother's head and was honest.

The next day, the little couple took Xiaolong and went to the uncle's house early. There are still a lot of rabbit skins that have not been scraped, and I have to go to the mountains early in the afternoon, so I really need to hurry up in time.

As soon as the little couple entered the door, the uncle hurriedly asked the second girl: "Little tiger daughter-in-law!" What are these weasels you feeding them for? Yesterday, your second uncle gave them the internal organs of those rabbits, but today they have nothing to feed, and your eldest aunt saw them fighting in the cage in the morning, and she was in a hurry! ”

"Yikes! Really, how did I forget about it? Well, are the entrails from yesterday's fish killings still there? You can feed it! You can also feed vegetables, carrots, grains or something, but you have to have meat to match. If only there were rats, they love to eat that. Erya also remembered that it didn't seem safe to put the weasel in that kind of cage. I've heard of using cement bricks to make small nests, or iron cages.

Erya couldn't think of any way, so she had to push the problem to the uncle: "And oh! This thing is better made of stones that it gnaws at and can't chew! Uncle, do you know what to do? ”

This matter is not difficult for the uncle, "There are so many stones, the houses built in the village are all made of stones, and there are almost all leftovers, so I went to their house to borrow them." It's just that we still have to go to the mountains, so how can we have time to nest them! ”

At this time, the eldest aunt heard it in the kitchen, and hurriedly raised her voice and said: "His father, I'll get this thing done, you borrow the stone back, and I will take it with my second brother and daughter-in-law at home." ”

Erya heard the eldest aunt talking in the kitchen, so she went to the kitchen. While sitting in front of the stove to light the fire, he said to the eldest uncle: "Uncle, the ground should also be paved with stones, otherwise, they will make holes very badly." And don't leave the door, if you want to stay, stay on the top. Ay! If only anyone had that big broken iron pot, put the iron pot on top of it, so that they could not fly. ”

The eldest aunt listened to Erya's words and laughed to tears. "Good, good! Listen to you, let them grow wings and can't fly! ”

After breakfast, several cousins stood in the courtyard to discuss the tricks of catching mice, some said to use clips, some said to use the cage to catch rabbits, and some said to use a large vat to trap rats with some food.

Hongguo was silent and walked around the village. Let out the message and let the children exchange live mice for chestnuts.

Hongguo returned to the front yard of the house, squatted aside to watch Erya scrape fat, and her mouth was not idle: "Sister-in-law, you don't know!" Xiao Cong's cat is the most powerful at catching mice, I asked her to send her cat to catch mice, and I gave her two chestnuts for one mouse! Xiao Cong also wanted his brother to go to the mountains with you to hunt chestnuts, but her father scolded her, saying that our family had no land and no income, so we relied on going into the mountains to find some rations, and no one in their family was allowed to go with them. Satoshi isn't happy! It's not as good as it used to be for me. The little girl pouted unhappily.

Erya thought that there were a lot of chestnuts on the mountain, and they couldn't finish the fight themselves, so it was better to let Xiao Cong's brother also go and fight some back, and the little girls in the province would have conflicts. "So be it! Hongguo, you go and talk to Xiao Cong later, just say what your father said: 'Let his brother come over before Shen Shi in the afternoon and go into the mountain with us.' Let him bring strips of cloth for his legs and feet, and cuffs, and a long bamboo pole, and two frames; It is better to have a back basket with a back basket. "Fortunately, the mountain in front of the door is not steep, otherwise you wouldn't be able to go down the mountain if you pick a frame.

Hongguo's thin little face suddenly turned cloudy and clear, "Okay! I'm going to sue her! As he spoke, he jumped up and ran out!

After shaving the fur, soak it in water, which takes about six hours. Then scrub with alkaline water, just like washing clothes, but for a much longer time. Wash the fat and oil of the fur, and then rinse the alkaline water with clean water.

Then, you have to mix water with miscanthus salt, rice milk, soak it for about a day and a half, and then use a blunt knife to scrape the grease again. After scraping, put it in the mixed water of miscanthus and soak it, and then add the same amount of rice milk. And to stir well, each piece of fur must be soaked through. Every morning and evening, you have to turn over the tank, and every three or four days when it's cold, you have to burn wood around the tank to heat, and the temperature can't be burned high.

In about 20 days, you can catch it and hang it on a bamboo pole to drain the water, and after six hours, you have to bask in the sun, and dry it; This is ready for storage.

When you need to use it, spray water on the dry fur to let the fur regain moisture, sprinkle talcum powder, use a quick knife to shovel the fur board flat, and then pat it with your hands, beat the talcum powder or something, and rub it hard if you want to be soft.

Nitrate fur is so troublesome and tiring, but fortunately, after that, there is no longer any need for Erya to do it himself. As long as you move your mouth, someone will do it.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the ancient timekeeper was Shen time. A large family went out armed again, and Xiao Cong's brother Dashan really came with him.

Maybe after a trip, familiar. This time it felt fast to the place, and the sky was still bright, which made it convenient for Xiaohu to dig traps.

This time they didn't return until four days later, but the harvest was not small. The big wild boar got two heads, one was caught in the trap, and the other was fought by Daman and Xiangzi Dahong. The little boar was not caught in the trap, but the little thing got into the cage by itself, and the big cage for catching rabbits was about to fall apart, and the uncle felt sorry for his big cage, and was happy to catch these two little pigs.

Because there are too many prey, it is impossible to carry it on the shoulder. Er Ya taught everyone to make three scooters, but fortunately, there is no shortage of materials in the mountains.

Along the way, the guilty ones were still excited, like victorious generals, proud like the big rooster who bullied people and reasoned. Erya is so tired that she doesn't even want to walk, she really wants to climb back!

It's like a snail moving, moving home, and it's almost dawn. The eldest aunt and the second aunt waited for so many days, and the whole family finally came back safely, and that excitement was probably something that I had never experienced in my life.

There was a small half of the yard in the front yard, and the snorting of the big boar that was tied up and could not move at all, and the little wild boar was scurrying around, screaming in a panic. Ouch, that lively scene, I can't say!

The uncle, the second uncle, the second girl, and several cousins, along with the mountain, were all spread on the ground, and they didn't want to move, and they didn't want to say anything. What kind of gain comes at a cost.

I didn't want to eat, I just wanted to sleep well, so the eldest aunt didn't cook, just boiled some water for them to wash, and went back to their respective homes to sleep.
