She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Although everyone was very hungry, they were all children and their appetites were limited. One bowl of porridge was enough to fill them up.

Looking at the bowl of porridge left in the pot, Banxia hesitated for a moment, then ladled it out and placed it next to Lian Chengmo, before calling Lian Chengyu and Qi Changshan for help.

"You two support him, I'll feed him porridge." Banxia pulled Lian Chengmo's upper body up, letting the two boys support him from behind as a backrest.

Lian Chengmo was still running a fever and unconscious, and there was no doctor to treat him at the moment, so he could only tough it out.

Banxia just hoped to feed him well and increase his resistance.

Picking up the only large spoon, Banxia carefully scooped up a little porridge and brought it close to Lianchengmo's mouth.

Then......

Lian Chengmo naturally had no way of drinking it.

Banxia tried several times, and she managed to poke open Lian Chengyu's lips, but Lian Chengyu's teeth remained tightly closed, showing no sign of opening his mouth at all.

Banxia spilled the half spoonful of porridge all over his face, neck, and even clothes.

"What should we do? Big brother has been hungry for a long time, and he'll get sick if he doesn't eat soon." Lian Chengyu was extremely anxious, and her eyes turned red.

His older brother was injured and fell into a coma while saving him, and now he can't even drink porridge.

He and his sister Shuang'er have already lost their parents; they can't afford to lose their older brother too.

"Big sister, how about we pry open his mouth and pour it in?" Qi Juanbai suggested, standing behind Banxia with his knees propped up.

As he spoke, he seemed eager to try it out.

The main reason is that Qi Juanbai once accompanied his grandfather to treat a villager who was feverish and unconscious. This is how his grandfather fed the medicine.

Feeding medicine and feeding porridge should be about the same, right?

As soon as he said this, the children's eyes all fell on Banxia, ​​and they all seemed to think that the suggestion was feasible, waiting for her to make a decision.

"Then I'll give it a try. Juanbai, you hold the porridge for me." Banxia thought about it and decided to give it a try.

There's no medicine now, but she's not even feeding Lian Chengmo a single drop of porridge, fearing he might really not be able to handle it.

Banxia handed the bowl of porridge to Qi Juanbai, then used one hand to pinch Lian Chengmo's mouth.

With a bit of force along the jawline on both sides of her cheek, Banxia actually managed to pinch a gap.

Seeing Lian Chengmo's lips slightly pouting, with a gap between his upper and lower teeth, Banxia didn't even bother to find his goldfish-like mouth somewhat cute.

He hurriedly fed the porridge from the spoon down his teeth.

"Drink it, drink it, big brother, drink it." Lian Chengyu watched excitedly from the side.

My brother needs to be able to eat something to get better.

However, Banxia frowned.

The porridge was fed into his mouth, but Lian Chengmo didn't know how to swallow it!

After thinking for a moment, Banxia withdrew her hand and moved it to Lian Chengmo's neck, gently pinching and stroking it.

As expected, Lian Chengmo was stimulated and subconsciously swallowed, swallowing that mouthful of porridge.

"It works, Selaginella, quick!" Banxia's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly gestured for Qi Selaginella to bring the bowl over.

"Big sister, here you go." Qi Juanbai naturally obeyed and laboriously carried a large bowl of porridge to his big sister's side.

Banxia pinched Lian Chengmo's chin and touched his neck, successfully getting him to drink several mouthfuls of porridge.

Later, perhaps out of habit, whenever Banxia poured porridge into Lianchengmo's mouth, he would swallow it subconsciously.

This saved Banxia a lot of trouble. A large bowl of rice porridge was quickly fed into Lian Chengmo's stomach.

Seeing this, everyone felt a little relieved.

After feeding Lian Chengmo the porridge, Banxia tidied him up and changed the hemostatic herbs again. She was only slightly relieved after confirming that his wound was no longer bleeding.

It's said that this hemostatic herb also has anti-inflammatory effects. There's no other way right now, so I can only keep using this. I hope it works.

Banxia told Lian Chengyu to take the little girl Lian Chengshuang to sleep first, and then sent her two younger brothers to go to sleep as well. Only then did Banxia return to the campfire.

They added some firewood and continued to dry her wet clothes.

There was nothing she could do; she simply couldn't stand the clothes she was wearing anymore. Tomorrow, she would wash all the clothes she had taken from her before using them again.

The children were already tired, hungry, and nervous. Although they had taken a nap earlier, they were sleepy after eating and fell asleep quickly.

When Banxia changed out of her dried clothes to go see the little ones, they were all fast asleep and snoring.

She touched Lian Chengmo's forehead again and felt that his fever had not subsided.

With a sigh, Banxia had no other choice but to burn some rainwater and apply it to Lianchengmo, hoping it would help lower his fever.

And so, Banxia took care of Lian Chengmo for most of the night. As dawn approached, Lian Chengmo's high fever seemed to have subsided considerably, and he finally drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up again, several boys were squatting around the fire, gathered around the sack of unharvested rice from the previous night, and a pot was already set up on the makeshift stove, seemingly cooking something.

What should we cook?

Startled, Banxia sprang to her feet in a flash.

"Why are you cooking? Let me see, are you all hurt?" Banxia hurriedly checked the boys' hands.

How can such a young child cook? Don't let him burn himself.

"Big sister, I didn't play with fire, it was second brother who started it."

"He said he wanted you to have porridge to drink when you woke up," Qi Juanbai immediately said loudly.

"Big sister, I was very careful and didn't get burned. Please don't be angry." Qi Changshan pursed his lips slightly and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

He knew that his older sister wouldn't let them touch dangerous things, and that they could only start a fire when an adult was watching.

However, his older sister was too tired, and he wanted her to have something to eat as soon as she woke up.

"Sister Banxia, ​​I also helped with the fire, so please don't blame Changshan," Lian Chengyu quickly chimed in.

"It's good that you weren't hurt. From now on, you must keep a close eye on me when you start a fire, understand?"

"If you accidentally get burned or cause a fire, I can't save you. People will die." Banxia relented, but still gave the little brats a serious warning.

"Big sister, I've got it." Qi Juanbai was the first to nod.

"Big sister, I'll remember that too."

"Sister Banxia, ​​I understand."

Qi Changshan and Lian Chengyu nodded together.

The Qi family was already very strict with their children's education, let alone the Liancheng family, where children were strictly forbidden from playing with fire.

It was during this journey of fleeing famine that Lian Chengyu had the opportunity to touch firewood, but it wasn't for starting a fire; he was just helping the adults gather firewood.

She was quite frightened early in the morning. After giving the boys a good talking-to, Banxia discovered that the porridge in the pot was already cooked.

Upon asking, she learned that several boys had already gotten up and were tiptoeing around, collecting rainwater in a pot at the cave entrance to cook porridge, afraid of waking her and Lian Chengshuang.

Lian Chengshuang is sleeping so soundly. She's still covered with a blanket and snoring away, occasionally moving her mouth slightly as if she's dreaming about something delicious.

Banxia shook her head, amused by her appearance, and didn't wake her up immediately.

We'll take the pot off the stove first, planning to wait until the porridge cools down before waking the child up.
