She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

This melon was created by her supernatural power; it seems to contain vitality, allowing her to quickly recover from exhaustion. It's clearly a good thing.

"Big sister, it's a melon!" Qi Juanbai recognized it at a glance and jumped up excitedly.

Qi Changshan was also very excited, but unlike his younger brother, he didn't drool with envy. He just stared intently at the melon in Banxia's hand and called out, "Big sister."

Lian Chengyu stared wide-eyed, his face full of desire to eat, but he knew that Banxia had brought it back, and since she hadn't asked him to eat it, he couldn't ask for it.

He even pulled Lian Chengshuang, who had already moved closer, to his side.

Sure enough, Banxia gave the melon in her hand directly to Qi Juanbai, who jumped the highest, and then took out another one and gave it to Qi Changshan.

Lian Chengyu's expectant expression instantly diminished, and she held her sister's hand, trying to hide her slight disappointment.

Banxia didn't notice the little change in Lianchengyu. Finding food and prioritizing family members is perfectly fine.

Moreover, she grew these herself using her special abilities, not by searching for them. She could have as many as she wanted in the future, so Banxia wasn't stingy.

He bent down and took two more melons, handing them to Lian Chengyu and his sister.

"Sister Banxia, ​​just give Shuang'er one. I... I don't want to eat. You've done so much work, you should eat more." Lian Chengyu looked delighted, but she still suppressed her desire to eat and said sensibly.

Now that my older brother is sick and needs Sister Banxia to take care of him, and my younger sister and I have been eating the food that Sister Banxia finds for us, how can we still enjoy this melon?

Lian Chengyu was already very satisfied that Shuang'er could eat one.

"Sister eats, but Shuang'er won't eat either." Upon hearing her second brother's words, and recalling how Banxia had carried so many things just now, Xiao Shuang'er immediately shook her head and put her little hands behind her back.

It was as if she wasn't the one who had been drooling with envy just moments before.

Even three-year-old Lian Cheng Shuang knew the Lian family's upbringing: the more you work, the more you earn.

Especially during their escape from famine, the two ladies of the Liancheng family tacitly allowed the men and guards to eat more, so that they would have the strength to go out and find food and water.

Little Lian Chengshuang watched it every day and seemed to understand a little bit.

"Big sister, I don't want any either, you eat more." Upon hearing this, Qi Changshan returned the melon he had just received to Banxia without hesitation.

Then he gave his third brother a serious look, which startled Qi Juanbai. Although he was a little reluctant, he followed his second brother's example and decided to save the melon for his eldest sister.

"Alright, I know you're all sensible and good kids. It's just a melon, it won't fill your stomach."

“We’ve arrived in the south. There are plenty of wild fruits on the mountains now. After we finish these, you can find some more, Sister.”

"One for each of you, and no one is allowed to save any, or your sister will get angry, do you all hear me?" Banxia felt a warmth in her heart, but pretended to be angry.

Although she did it willingly to prepare food for these children, the children's gratitude made her feel that what she did was worthwhile.

Banxia's stern face was quite intimidating; at least the children obediently took their melons, rinsed them with the cooled boiled water Banxia had prepared, and started eating them.

As for peeling, Banxia only had a few knives she had picked up from those thieves, all of which were stained with human blood, so she dared not use them for peeling.

Besides, at this time everyone was so hungry that they had nothing to eat. Let alone melon rinds, people would eat tree bark and grass roots.

Sure enough, the children hugged the melon and ate it, rind and all.

Seeing the children eating happily, Banxia felt hungry again. She picked up a melon, washed it, and took a bite of it without hesitation.

However, Banxia still asked them to keep the seeds in the middle of the melon, which she carefully collected.

"Sister Banxia, ​​why are you keeping these melon seeds?" Lian Chengyu was, after all, a young master, and hadn't yet thought of using them for seeds.

Seeing how carefully Banxia was handling the seeds, she asked curiously.

“I know, sister, let’s eat sunflower seeds,” Xiao Shuang’er was the first to speak up.

She often saw the old women in her family gathering together to eat sunflower seeds, and her mother would occasionally take her along to eat sunflower seeds as well.

"Big sister, do you want to plant it?"

"No, my older sister definitely wants to save the seeds to grow melons."

Qi Changshan and Qi Juanbai spoke at the same time.

One was speaking to Banxia, ​​while the other, with a touch of pride, was speaking to Xiaoshuang'er.

Upon hearing this, Lian Chengyu looked at Banxia with sparkling eyes.

This melon is absolutely delicious; it's better than any other fruit Liancheng Yu has ever eaten.

If he could grow his own food, wouldn't he be able to eat a lot?

At this moment, Lian Chengyu was only thinking about eating and didn't even consider that even if Banxia planted melons, he wasn't Banxia's younger brother and they wouldn't live together in the future, so how could he eat them?

As for the little girl Lian Chengshuang, she looked left and right in confusion, not knowing what her older brothers and sisters meant by "seed".

"Yes, my sister plans to keep them to grow melons later, but that will have to wait until we find a place to settle down."

"We can only start planting once things have settled down." Banxia hadn't expected her two younger brothers to be so perceptive, and nodded slightly in agreement.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "It's true that poor children learn to be independent early." After all, the two Qi brothers were from a farming family, so it's not surprising that they thought of saving seeds.

In contrast, Liancheng and his sister still looked completely bewildered.

While feeling proud of her younger brother, Banxia couldn't help but worry about Lianchengmo, who was still unconscious.

It seems like the other team is harder to manage. Lian Chengyu seems quite sensible, but she's definitely not as capable as her two younger brothers.

Not to mention Lian Chengshuang, that little girl, who's just a burden.

Just as Banxia thought of Lian Chengmo, a sound actually came from the other side.

This caused a stir of excitement among the children who had been disappointed when they heard that they could only plant melons later.

Lian Chengyu, in particular, excitedly ran to his older brother's side, squatted down, and called out his name.

"Big brother, big brother, wake up, wake up."

"Brother, wake up!" Little Shuang'er imitated her second brother, gently pushing Lian Chengmo's hand with her little hand and calling out in her childish voice.

The two Qi brothers also gathered around. They knew that if it weren't for this older brother, their eldest sister might have died too, so they were quite concerned about him.

Seeing that Lian Chengmo was surrounded by a group of little kids, Banxia had no choice but to rest her hands on her knees and half-squat behind Lian Chengyu to check on Lian Chengmo's condition.

Just as the children were feeling down, Lian Chengmo let out a cry of pain. When Lian Chengyu rushed over, she saw his eyelashes trembling incessantly.

The pupils under his eyelids were also moving from side to side, as if trying to wake himself up.

Seeing his condition, Banxia knew that he was probably about to wake up, and half of the weight in her heart was lifted off her shoulders.

Banxia was right; Lian Chengmo was struggling to wake up.

Because he seemed to hear Ayu and Shuang'er's voices.

It wasn't the kind of voice he was familiar with; it seemed to be the voice of the two of them when they were children.

Was he dreaming?
