Happy peasant girl

Chapter 7
At first, there was nothing special on the edge of the deep mountain, except that the trees and flowers were not all dried up in winter, and there was the sound of small animals being disturbed and running away in the grass.

As they walked, the scene in front of the three brothers and sisters became more and more different. The further they went, the greener the trees, the greener the grass, the more fragrant the flowers, and the more rabbit holes there were.

Lin Qingxi suspects that the place on the edge of the deep mountain next to the Shanmei River is a gathering place for rabbits. It is true that they are hibernating, but many stupid rabbits will also come out to look for food, and some are so stupid that they just wander around the three of them.

Faced with such delicious food delivered to their door, the two brothers of Lin's family were overjoyed and started catching rabbits. Lin Qingxi took this opportunity to go around to the other side of the rabbit gathering place to see if he could find anything else.

Unexpectedly, she really got lucky and found a wild Chinese cabbage.She heard from Grandpa Linyuanshan that because of the three-year drought, the people of the Chu Kingdom came to winter, let alone the rare green vegetables, even the most common white cabbage in normal years has become a rare commodity now.

Now she has a large area of ​​rare goods in front of her. If she brings all these white cabbage home, not only will she have the vegetables for this winter, but she can also sell them for a sum of money to solve the current predicament of the Lin family.Thinking of this, Lin Qingxi was so happy that she wanted to yell.

Not caring too much, she hurriedly called Lin Qinghe and Lin Qingmu who were still catching rabbits, and asked them to pick the white cabbage together.

When Lin Qinghe and Lin Qingmu first saw a large piece of green, white and tender white cabbage, they jumped three feet high with joy, wishing they could give birth to two more hands, Lin Qinghe was even more annoyed that they didn't weave more baskets.

The three brothers and sisters are full of energy, the wild white cabbage here is relatively soft, and the white cabbage is so big that the three of them can fill the back basket brought by Linqingmu.

"What should we do? We can't finish it!" Lin Qingmu's eyes were red with anxiety, he was annoyed that he was not as strong as his elder brother and second brother, otherwise he would have taken all these white wombs to his home.

"I can't finish it and come back tomorrow, anyway, these white cabbage won't run away!" Lin Qingxi was really afraid that her sixth brother would cry, as the saying goes, "You can't chew as much as you want", and it was only the seven or eight that the two brothers caught. It took a lot of effort for the rabbit to hold it, and with such a heavy white cabbage, how could the three of them carry it all.

"Your sister is right, besides, if these things are seen by the villagers, it may be a disaster, and if everyone comes to dig food in the deep mountains, the rabbits and white cabbage here will soon be gone, we can't be too conspicuous! " Lin Qinghe said very forward thinking.

Lin Qingxi didn't expect her little brother to have such a strong sense of crisis. It doesn't matter whether she is selfish or lacking in kindness. Now that her family's situation is so bad, she really doesn't want anyone to take a share of it. These things are all theirs. The three risked their lives to discover it, so it's only a matter of time if they can hide it for a while.

"Alright then!" Lin Qingmu also knew that these Bai Songs could not be finished all at once with just a few of them, although he was a bit resentful, there was nothing he could do.

Lin Qinghe first took out a white sycamore from the back basket, then knocked out all the eight live rabbits he had caught and put them into the back basket, covered the rabbits with some weeds, put the back basket on his back, and put his hands on his back again. Holding a big white sycamore.

Lin Qingmu and Lin Qingxi also followed Lin Qinghe's example, hugging a big white sycamore.It's just that when the three of them walked back, they saw Lin Qingfei who was drenched and shivering from the cold appearing in front of them.

"Third brother, why are you here?" The three looked at Lin Qingfei who appeared in front of them in disbelief.

"You two brats still have the guts to ask, who told you to bring girl Xi here, I'll settle the score with you later, and now you all come home with me!" Lin Qingfei didn't see Lin Qinghe and the other three at all. He was so happy, he was only afraid.

He didn't go back to town this morning, but wanted to stay at home for one more day to take care of Lin Zhongguo, but when it was almost noon, when Lin Qinghe, Lin Qingmu and Lin Qingxi hadn't returned home, Mrs. Mu let him out Searching.

Thinking that the three of them went to the back mountain of Dameishan yesterday, and today it was early in the morning and saw no one, so Lin Qingfei came to the back mountain after searching for other places.

Originally, he did not boldly imagine that his younger siblings would go to the dangerous other bank, but two rabbits knocked apart the branches covering Linqingmu and Linqingxi's back baskets on the opposite bank.

Looking at his two baskets full of wild vegetables and wild yams, Lin Qingfei was frightened silly at the time, and there were no brothers and sisters on the other side, so he jumped into the cold Shanmei River and swam towards the other side as soon as he was anxious.

After the four brothers and sisters rowed a bamboo raft full of wild vegetables, rabbits, wild yams, and white cabbage to the opposite bank, they did not rush home, but lit a fire in a small cave nearby, and asked Lin Qingfei to quickly pick it up. keep warm.

The bonfire was very lively, and before long, Lin Qingxi's little face was roasted red, but at this moment, the air pressure on Lin Qingfei's body was too strong, she was actually a little afraid of the 15-year-old third brother in front of her.

The person Lin Qinghe and Lin Qingmu feared the most since they were young was Lin Qingfei. This time they did something wrong and took Lin Qingxi to the other side. Facing Lin Qingfei with a gloomy face, they didn't dare to take a breath and felt uneasy He lowered his head and dared not look at his third brother.

The four brothers and sisters have been silent for a long time, but Lin Qingmu couldn't stand it first, and boldly confessed to Lin Qingfei: "Third brother, if you get angry, hit me up, it's all my fault!"

"Third brother, I took my sixth brother and younger sister to find something to eat on the other side!" In fact, Lin Qinghe didn't think that what he did was all wrong, at least they brought back food for the family. On this side of the Meihe River, one never knows how many precious things are hidden on the other side.

"Third Brother, it's me..." Lin Qingxi also took the initiative to admit his mistake, but was interrupted by Lin Qingfei waving his hand.

"You are all thinking about your family. The third brother doesn't think you are wrong. But the possibility that you put yourself in danger is your fault. Our old Lin's family is short of food and clothing, but it's not time to die! The three of you Think about it carefully, if grandpa, grandma, father, mother, brother and sister-in-law know that you have entered the deep mountain on the other side, how would you feel?" Lin Qingfei finally eased the expression on his face.

"Third brother, I'm sorry!" Lin Qinghe, Lin Qingmu and Lin Qingxi said in unison.

"You should say 'I'm sorry', but not to me, but to grandpa, grandma and parents, you are all seedlings of our old Lin family, whoever is missing and who is missing, the family will feel distressed, Especially you, girl Xi, if you are a little surprised, grandma and mother will cry and go blind." Lin Qingfei said earnestly, at this time he was teaching his three younger siblings, not like a 15-year-old The young man looked like a very imposing elder.

Of course, for the three of Lin Qinghe, Lin Qingfei is indeed their elder, but his tone is a bit older.
