Rebirth of the little peasant girl

Chapter 5 Going to Komatsuyama Again

Early the next morning, Han Yi and his wife Liang Xin both went to the field after having breakfast as usual. The difference was that this time they did not bring boiled water, but brought a pot of mint tea, which not only quenched their thirst, but also had a refreshing effect. Feeling cool and refreshing, the husband and wife unanimously decided to take the mint tea invented by their daughter when they went to the field in the future.

The sun in the east is slowly rising. Normally at this time, Han Wen should be reviewing homework at home. The people walked together on the mountain road to Komatsu Mountain.

Han Wen, the eldest son of the Han family, carried a big bamboo basket on his thin shoulders. Inside was a small bamboo basket and two small shovels for digging. Han Wen, who is already 11 years old, is wearing a Dressed in dark blue coarse cloth, he looked ahead with a smile on his face.

In front of Han Wen, there is the same blue coarse cloth clothes, with a slightly smaller bamboo basket on his back, and a small shovel and a white cloth bag are also placed in the bamboo basket of the nine-year-old. There is still some roundness between Cambrian's eyebrows and eyes, giving people a chubby feeling, and he is happily talking to his sister at this time.

In front of the two brothers not far away is Han Yan wearing half-worn red clothes, her jet-black hair is braided in two small braids, tied with two red hair ropes, and there are two braids on her head. A butterfly clip, slightly vibrating its wings as she walks.

"Brother, let's go to the place where I went with Ding Ding last time to pick all the wild mint, and then look for it in other places. If we find other wild flowers that can be used to make tea, we can pick them together, okay?" ?" Han Yan discussed with her brother.

Both Han Wen and Han Wu nodded in agreement with their sister's approach, and the three of them walked briskly towards Xiaosong Mountain. Because it was still early, except for those who had already gone to the field, everyone was basically still sleeping at home. On the road, I didn't meet any friends from the same village who went up the mountain to play.

Xiaosong Mountain in the early morning is very different from the last time they came. Waking up early is the time for the animals to rest for the night and come out to look for food. The sound of chirping birds, the early birds get the worms, many birds are flying in the forest, looking for the early worms for breakfast, the grass under the tree is covered with dew, occasionally you can see a The hare ran quickly through the grass and trampled down a large piece of weeds.

After Han Yan and her elder brother entered the mountain forest, they went straight to the place where they picked mint last time. From a distance, they saw a large field of wild mint under the action of the morning dew, and the leaves swayed gently in the breeze in the mountain. , accompanied by the early morning humidity exudes a burst of fragrance.

"Sister, are you still digging up the roots of these wild mints like last time?" Cambrian, who had a somewhat lively personality, asked after putting down his back basket.

"This is a huge area. If we dig the roots home, I'm afraid the three of us won't be able to finish it in a day." said the steady elder brother Han Wen.

"This time, we only need to use a shovel to cut off the wild mint by its roots," Han Yan said, taking a small shovel from her elder brother Hanwen's bamboo basket, squatting on the ground to demonstrate to her brother.

The three brothers and sisters took action quickly. With the help of tools, the wild mint was harvested very quickly. When the sun completely climbed the hillside and the dew dissipated, they had already collected all the wild mint. The wild mint on the ground was packed into the white cloth bag that he brought, and when it was full, he put the rest into Hanwen’s big bamboo basket. After a while, Han Wu and Han Yan stayed where they were and rested, waiting for Han Wen to come back.

"Second brother, you often run to Xiaosong Mountain with Abu and Ding Ding, do you know where there are many wild flowers?" Han Yan looked up at her second brother.

"You know, once Abu, Ding Ding and I chased a hare to a place deep in Xiaosong Mountain, where there were flowers and plants all around, and there were many small animals there. Hare, but that place is not easy to walk, especially after the fog, some people can't tell the direction, and it is easy to get in and out only when the sun is shining at noon." Han Wu told his sister Han Yan about his adventure experience.

"Is that place far away?" Han Yan asked.

"It's not too far. It's not far from the place where we picked peaches last time. It will take about ten minutes to get there. But we can only go in at noon. It's not easy to find the way at other times." Cambrian thought carefully After a while, he said.

"Okay, let's go to another place to have a look after the elder brother comes back, and we will go there before noon." Han Yan said.

Time passed slowly while the brothers and sisters were chatting, about an hour later, Han Wen came back, and the three brothers and sisters set off again. Walking by people, everyone is looking for wild fruits on Xiaosong Mountain, or if you are lucky, you can hunt a pheasant or a hare. At this time, Xiaosong Mountain is no longer quiet in the morning. With people talking and laughing, it has become lively. stand up.

During the next journey, Han Yan, Cam Wu, and Han Wen avoided the places where wild fruits grow, and only picked places where no one had walked. However, due to the relatively loose distribution of growth, they found only a small piece each time. The three of them picked off the flowers that had already opened and were about to bud, and stored them in different bamboo baskets.

"Brother, I'm hungry." A child's body is prone to hunger, and there are still more than two hours before noon, but Han Yan already feels that her hunger is unbearable.

"Okay, let's go to the place where we picked peaches last time and have a rest!" Han Wen said.

Han Wu took the bamboo basket from elder brother Han Wen, and Han Wen knelt down to pick up his younger sister, and the three of them walked towards the place where the peach tree grew.

In the field of Xiaohan Village, Han Yi and his wife Liang Xin were weeding the corn when a half-grown boy ran over from the adjacent field.

"Uncle, is the cool water from yesterday still available? I'm thirsty."

Han Yi looked at the big brother's child sweating profusely, and smiled lovingly, "Yes, it's in that kettle, go drink it."

Han Lu, the eldest son of the Hanren family, ran towards the kettle when he heard the uncle's words, picked up the kettle, poured a bowl, and drank it. He is 13 years old this year. I went to junior high school in Li's middle school, and now it's summer vacation, and I come to the field with my parents to weed the corn every day.

"Second Brother, what do you use to brew your tea? It's different from what we usually drink?" Han Ren stopped the hoe in his hand, took the water bowl from his son, and asked while drinking.

"It's all made by the children of my family who randomly found things from the mountains. It's okay to drink, so I brought them here." Just as Han Yi was about to speak, Liang Xin interjected next to him.

"Xiaolu, pour a bowl for the second uncle too." The middle-aged man on the other side shouted, he was the youngest of the Han family, Hanli, with a slightly obese figure, and his wife Fang Tong was beside him.

Hearing the second uncle's shout, Han Lu quickly poured out a bowl and sent it to the second uncle and second aunt.

"Fourth brother, why don't you have a bowl too." Han Yi looked at the fourth brother and younger siblings not far away, and asked proactively.

"Okay, then thank you second brother." Han Zhi, the fourth child of the Han family, said, his body looked a little thin, and his wife Ye Xing was beside him.

"I don't know how the children are going to Xiaosongshan now," Liang Xin said to her husband during the break.

"Don't worry, there will be no danger on Xiaosong Mountain. I have been there countless times since I was a child. Besides, Awen is 11 years old. There will be nothing wrong with him watching Xiaowu and Yan'er. Let's hurry up and do it. Finish the work in the field early, and free up your hands to do it with the children." Han Yi wiped his sweat, raised his head and said to his wife.

In the woods on Xiaosong Mountain, Han Yan and the others just met Han Shan, Han Ying and Han Ting from the uncle's family. Han Shan, who is 12 years old this year, is half a head taller than Han Wen, and his body looks particularly strong, with a short inch head. , wearing brown coarse clothes, holding a large slingshot in his hand, and a hare tied up with a straw rope in a bamboo basket behind his back.Behind Han Shan are Han Ying and Han Ting in light blue clothes. Behind Han Ying is also carrying a bamboo basket with a lot of apricots and plums in it. Five-year-old Han Ting is walking with a big yellow apricot Eating, it can be seen that they have gained a lot today, and everyone has a smile on their faces.

"Brother Hall!" The three brothers and sister Han Yan stopped together.

"Xiaowen, you guys are here today too. How was the harvest?" Han Shan asked with concern, his eyes swept over the bamboo baskets with only some wild flowers behind them, and the disdain flashed in his eyes.

"There's nothing, we're going to go inside and look for it again. Brother Datang has gained a lot today." Han Wen didn't notice Han Shan's disdain, and replied seriously, but Han Yan clearly saw the change in Han Shan's eyes .

"We're going back first, you all have to remember to go home early." Han Shan reminded.

"Yan'er, this plum is for you to eat." Han Ying reached out and touched Han Yan's head lightly, took a plum from the bamboo basket and handed it over.

"Thank you, Sister Ying." Han Yan said with a cute smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

After bidding farewell to Han Shan and his group, the three brothers and sister rested for a while at the place where they found the peach tree last time, and ate a few peaches to replenish their strength. At almost noon, they arrived at the place where the flowers were everywhere that Cambun mentioned.

The three of them waited for a while, and sure enough, they saw pheasants and hares rushing by from time to time. At noon, the thick fog surrounding them gradually dispersed, and a small road appeared in front of the three of them. A sea of ​​flowers.

Honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, orchid, lily, hibiscus.Flowers of various colors, such as peonies and amaranthus, are blooming, and butterflies are flying among them. The hare adds a bit of vibrancy and realism to the image.Han Yan, Han Wen, and Han Wu were all deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them. After recovering, Han Yan was filled with excitement that her scented tea had a source.
