Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 148: leather
Chapter 148 Leather
Sitting back beside the bonfire, Jian Heng's heart seemed to grow grass, and he wanted to go into the space to have a look again, but he knew that if he stayed in the space for too long at this time, someone would definitely come out to find him of. In order to avoid trouble, Jian Heng took the little bear cub out, and then rode the black beans back to the camp directly.
When Jian Heng came back, dinner was ready, and everyone had already sat around the campfire and started eating. The dinner was the same as yesterday, without any changes. This is not the time to pay attention to food, filling the stomach and replenishing energy is the most important thing, so no one discusses or is dissatisfied. Everyone is hungry now. You can eat a few steamed buns.
Old Walsh saw Jian Heng came back, and found the leather bag. The little bear cub miraculously did not lose it, so after saying luck twice, he put the bear skin that had not been peeled for a long time in his hand aside. , and then went to the stream to wash his hands, and joined the army of eating. .
"I'll be on duty for the early morning shift." Jian Heng sat down, grabbed a portion of beef for himself, ate two sips and drank a sip of soup, and then volunteered.
It’s not that Jian Heng thinks that there is no one in the early morning, so he can go into the space to see the characteristics of bears and deer. The reason why I took over this time period is that I felt that the father and son had a hard time eating last night, so I should come by myself tonight.
"Let you rest first," Old Walsh said.
Jian Heng rushed to the old Walsh and said: "Let Colt and Remington hold it first, and I will wait for midnight!"
Old Walsh didn’t argue with Jian Heng, he understood that since Jian Heng insisted, it was the most difficult time for him to insist, so he nodded.
"Who wants to be with me?" Jian Heng smiled and looked around at the people around him, and finally his eyes fell on the bodyguard.
Jian Heng also thought that he could discuss the so-called martial arts with the bodyguard today, so he naturally looked at the bodyguard with some enthusiasm.
When the bodyguard saw Jian Heng looking at him, he didn't understand what he meant. He grinned slightly and squeezed out a smile that didn't look like a smile: "I'll stick with Mr. He today."
He said this, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: You are so stupid, do you still want to torture me for a few hours? No, I won't be able to hold the night with you tonight, and if I teach you, I might as well teach a pig!
How could the bodyguard think that it was not Jian Heng who was stupid, but something wrong with his own teaching? In his opinion, what he taught was the simplest thing. If Jian Heng couldn't learn it, he would be stupid. It took him nearly five years to grow from a reckless man to the current master.
Jian Heng thought he was very smart, but he didn't know that he was disgusted by others because of his performance last night. Seeing what the bodyguard said, he could only smile at them.
He, Jian Heng, is not a roundworm in the stomach of a bodyguard. How could he know that people disliked him? He thought that the bodyguard with a dead face wanted to take care of his employer.
"I'll be with you." Jim raised his hand and stretched out a finger to indicate that he and Jian Heng should be in the same group.
"That's fine, I'll be in your group." Jian Heng went downhill when he heard this.
Jian Heng settled down here, and He Ye and the bodyguards took over the work ahead of Jian Heng, so in front of them was Dominic, almost the time was adjusted last night, and the one who went to bed early became get up early.
Aww! Woohoo!
Just when everyone wanted to clean up, the cub had already eaten the milk in the basin, probably because he had entered the space and occupied a place.
The little guy has now swept away his timid image before, and started to turn around the camp, biting everything he saw twice, as if he wanted to try his teeth.
Now this little guy has taken a fancy to Dominique's guitar next to him, and he is poking his fat buttocks and preparing to drag the guitar to Jian Heng's side.
"I can't give this to you!" Dominique saw that the guitar beside him was almost dragged away by the little bear, and immediately put one hand on the ground, bowed his waist and stretched out the other hand, grabbed the guitar body and dragged the guitar back to his side.
The guitar came back, and the pouty cub was naturally pulled back by him. Dominique saw that it was really fun, so he reached out and hugged the cub in his arms.
At this time, the little bear cub was not as timid as before, and he didn't struggle in Dominic's arms, just lay down obediently, his whole body shrunk into a fluffy ball, and he stretched out his mouth and began to bite. Dominic's skirt.
"He got to know us well," Dominic said to Cub Cub.
Of course, the little bear can't understand human speech, so Dominic's words are obviously not addressed to the little bear, but to the few people sitting around the campfire.
"I'm not timid now, it's much more fun than before." Colt next to Dominic stretched out his hand and scratched the little bear's stomach.
Seeing someone scratching his stomach, the little bear immediately let go of Dominic's clothes, stretched out two small paws and hugged Korko's hand, opened his mouth and bit it with his newly erupted baby teeth. stand up.
The little bear didn't use any force, so it is more appropriate to say it bites, rather than holding teeth or gums.
When everyone saw the appearance of the little bear cub, they immediately became happy. As long as the little bear cub was a certain distance away from Jian Heng, the little bear cub would bark wildly.
Many animals were especially fun and cute when they were young, and so is the cub. The cub with another temperament changed the atmosphere of the camp.
It's just that everyone didn't realize that the little bear cub who was originally a little thin now has a small belly. Some people may have noticed it, such as Old Walsh, but his attention is now on the bear skin in his hand, even if he saw such a situation, he did not pay attention to it.
Originally, it was time to go to bed after eating, but now Cub Cub is so attractive, so everyone drank some wine and chatted, and teased Cub by the way, after about half an hour, it was time to rest The most talented people left the campfire and went back to their tents.
Jim was very tired. Now that he got into the tent, he didn't even want to talk to Jian Heng. He got into his sleeping bag, said goodnight, and fell asleep in two or three minutes. .
Jian Heng got into the sleeping bag and looked at the top of the tent with his eyes open. He originally planned to wait a while to enter the space, but who knew that after a minute or two, he couldn't hold it anymore. His eyelids twitched, and he soon followed in Jim's footsteps , started a beautiful little snoring.
Waiting for Jian Heng to feel someone pushing him, he found He Ye's face approaching in front of him.
"Wake up!" He Ye was about to twist Jian Heng's face now.
Warning people is also a troublesome thing at this time. It is so easy for tired and sleepy people to wake up. If Jian Heng doesn't wake up again, He Ye will consider taking some measures for Jian Heng, such as wiping his face with cold water or something.
Jian Heng squinted his eyes, suppressed sleep, and straightened up in a daze: "What time is it?"
"Thirty thirty in the morning" He Ye said and stretched out his finger to check the watch on his wrist.
When Jian Heng heard this, he knew that it was his turn to be on duty, so he sat up directly, stretched out his hands and patted his face: "Be more energetic, be more energetic!"
After a little drowsiness eased, Jian Heng stepped out of the tent.
He Ye said to Jian Heng: "I'm going to go, Jim is sleeping like a dead pig. No matter how you do it, he just opens his eyes, says a few words that no one can understand, and then falls back to sleep. ".
Jian Heng turned his head and saw Jim's pimp-like figure now, and smiled: "Okay, let him sleep for a while, I'll be fine by myself."
"Really?" He Ye was polite.
Seeing Jian Heng nodded, He Ye said again: "Then I'll go back and sleep well."
"Let's go!" Jian Heng said, and then picked up his toiletries and walked to the edge of the stream, used the filter to get some water, and then began to wash.
He had only brushed his teeth halfway, and Jian Heng felt that something was licking his toes, which were wet and had a frosty feel. When he looked down, he saw that the little bear cub had arrived beside him at some point, and was sticking out his tongue to lick him. , Lick it and look up at Jian Heng.
Bears have barbs on their tongues, like those of domestic cats. The tongues are good for them to lick the meat on the bones, but it’s uncomfortable to lick people. Fortunately, the bears are still there It's small, and it's hard to say whether it hurts or not.
"Hi! Good morning" Jian Heng put down the cup in his hand, stretched out his hand and scratched the little thing's neck before continuing to wash.
After washing, he returned to the camp. With the help of the bonfire and moonlight, Jian Heng saw that a complete bear skin had been peeled off, and now the whole bear skin had been unfolded by a temporary shelf made of several branches. , the original inward side was facing the fire, at this moment, Jian Heng really felt how big this bear skin was.
Let's put it this way, even an adult of Jian Heng's height can almost wrap himself up tightly when lying on it.
Because it was his own, Jian Heng took a closer look at it. Looking at it this way, Jian Heng couldn't help but praise Old Walsh's delicate craftsmanship.
In the inside of the whole bear skin, there is almost no meat crumbs attached to the skin, and the side close to the meat is smooth and smooth. This kind of pre-treatment is quite perfect.
Even if you go to a real leather goods store, the craftsmen inside will not handle a piece of leather for you in this way, because if you do this, that piece of leather will have to sell for at least three pieces of leather to make up for it and return it to the workers. .
It can be said that what Old Walsh can do is now done by Jian Heng, and the rest is done by drying the skin, and when he waits to go back, Jian Heng takes the bear skin to a leather goods store or a saddle shop, and let him The shopkeeper nitrates it.
In about twenty days, Jian Heng can get the final product of this bear skin. Judging from the construction schedule, there is no hope of returning home this time, and Jian Heng can only fulfill his filial piety by waiting for his father to come during the Spring Festival.
