She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine
Chapter 112 There is strength in numbers
Due to the angle, Banxia could roughly see from above that Lin Chun was not far from her position, but Lin Chun could not see Banxia because her view was blocked by trees.
Banxia was about to respond when her gaze suddenly turned back. She looked at the fruit among the vines, then at the two ginseng plants, and made a decisive decision.
After a short while, Banxia stood in a spot with a better view and waved to Lin Chun.
"Sister-in-law Lin Chun, come quick! I found a wild grape vine, and it's so sweet!" Banxia's voice was clear and full of joy.
"Wild grapes? Oh, sister-in-law is here." Lin Chun replied with a smile, carrying a chicken in her hand.
She didn't know what the wild grapes Banxia was talking about were, but she was overjoyed that she had finally found the person.
No wonder the young master forbade Banxia from going up the mountain. Who could keep an eye on this girl's agility?
As Lin Chun nimbly ran to Banxia's side, she thought to herself that she had to keep a close eye on her this time. If Banxia were to get hurt again, she wouldn't be able to explain it to the young master.
As for why Banxia was injured, she told Lian Chengmo instead of her elder Qi Sanshui, Lin Chun didn't even think about why.
As soon as Lin Chun reached Banxia's side, a bunch of wild grapes was stuffed into his hand. Under Banxia's expectant gaze, Lin Chun picked a bluish-purple grape, wiped it casually on his clothes, and put it in his mouth.
The next moment, a sweet taste spread in his mouth, and the sweet juice unique to grapes filled his entire oral cavity. Lin Chun's expression was somewhat surprised.
Good heavens, these are wild grapes! They're even sweeter than the malt candy she'd ever eaten before, and much sweeter than the loquats they picked last time. Are all the fruits from the mountains in the south this delicious?
"How is it, Sister-in-law Lin Chun? Is it delicious?" Banxia could tell what Lin Chun was thinking just by looking at her expression.
The wild grapes on this mountain are naturally not that sweet; in fact, before a cup of tea is finished, each grape is only the size of a fingernail.
However, after Banxia used her supernatural powers to accelerate its growth, the mountain grapes quickly changed from green to mostly purple, and their size doubled, not to mention the improved taste.
Not only are they sweet, but they're also very juicy. I want to pick them right away and make a glass of grape juice; it must taste delicious.
"Delicious, so delicious! Banxia, I've never eaten such a sweet fruit before. What's this called? It's a wild grape. Where did you pick it? Are there any more?" Lin Chun nodded frantically, asking excitedly.
"It's over there, Sister Lin Chun, shall we pick all these wild grapes and take them back?" Banxia pointed in the direction of the wild grapes and led her there.
"So many! Banxia, you're truly our lucky star! Quick, let's pick them all!" Lin Chun looked at the patch of wild grapes and immediately started working with great joy.
Banxia readily agreed, since they had already caught three pheasants that day, enough for the whole family to have meat.
There are quite a few wild grapevines here; seven or eight vines are intertwined and cover a patch of bushes, and some of the vines have even climbed up and twined around the nearby big trees.
Those clusters of fruit looked incredibly tempting, and from a distance, they seemed to have grown from that big tree.
When Banxia first transferred her special abilities to these mountain grape vines, she had already grasped the general situation: each of these vines had borne dozens of bunches of fruit.
Before she stimulated its growth, the fruit, though small, was still a rare food source for birds and rodents in the mountains.
Presumably, it is because these birds eat the fruit here and leave droppings to nourish and feed these wild grapevines that the wild grapes have grown more and more luxuriantly, forming a large area.
This will be a great benefit for Banxia, won't it?
However, there were too many wild grapes for Banxia and Lin Chun to pick them all, and soon their baskets were full.
So Banxia suggested that Lin Chun carry a basket down the mountain first, and then call more people up the mountain to pick fruit.
Anyway, there are so many wild grapes that Banxia couldn't possibly eat them all even if she kept them all herself. And since they don't keep well, she might as well share them with everyone.
"Okay, I'll go get help right away." Lin Chun happily agreed, slung his basket over his shoulder, and prepared to go down the mountain to call for help.
However, she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped, turned around and looked back at the girl who was sitting down to rest and eat fruit.
"What's wrong, Sister-in-law Lin Chun?" Banxia swallowed a grape and looked at Lin Chun with a puzzled expression.
"Hey, Banxia, don't wander off, okay? You have to stay here and wait for me to come up," Lin Chun solemnly instructed.
She hadn't forgotten how fast this little girl could run in the mountains, and was afraid that she would be attracted by something again. Thinking of this, Lin Chun immediately added.
"Even if you see any prey or fresh food, don't run away. Wait for me to bring people up so we can catch it together."
"Okay, sister-in-law, please go and come back quickly, I will definitely listen to you." Banxia agreed with a wry smile.
It was because he had gone up the mountain alone before, which attracted pursuers and caused him to get injured, that everyone was so alarmed.
However, there were definitely no pursuers behind them along the way. As for the prey on the mountain, with so many of them having spent the whole night rummaging around at the foot of the mountain, any large prey would have already come down the mountain long ago.
They didn't come down the mountain, which means either they didn't exist or they escaped.
After all, although she was on the mountain, she was only a hundred or two hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain, and she could still hear the sound of Yao Lizheng and the others cutting down trees.
Seeing that Banxia repeatedly assured him that she wouldn't run around, Lin Chun quickly carried a basket of wild grapes down the mountain.
Banxia watched Lin Chun walk away slowly, then quickly put the wild grapes back into her basket and jogged a few steps to the two ginseng plants she had seen earlier.
Having used up two-thirds of her supernatural power to cultivate those grapes, Banxia quickly placed one ginseng on each of her hands. A faint green light appeared and disappeared, slowly merging from Banxia's fingertips into the ginseng plants.
Before long, the two ginseng plants visibly grew larger, and two more reeds even sprouted from their roots.
However, it only lasted for two years. Banxia used up all her superpowers and became completely exhausted. She still didn't have enough superpowers.
Sighing, Banxia returned to the wild grape spot, grabbed a bunch of wild grapes, and started stuffing them into her mouth to replenish her energy.
After she finished eating a large bunch of wild grapes, Lin Chun brought a group of people to find her.
Banxia looked up and saw that there were quite a few people. Her sixth aunt and third grandfather had come, and the rest were mostly aunts and sisters-in-law from Yaoli Village. The men had to stay in the camp to defend and do other things.
This task of finding food naturally falls to women like them.
"Everyone's here at the perfect time; we can get all these wild grapes down here in one go," Banxia said cheerfully.
Many hands make light work, saving us the trouble and time of going back and forth.
Sure enough, with so many people picking wild grapes together, the entire vineyard was soon cleared out, and everyone returned home with a full load.
Banxia lagged behind, glancing back at the two ginseng plants before leaving.
