She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Lian Chengmo had no idea what Banxia was thinking. Seeing her suggestion and his younger siblings looking on with anticipation, he had no choice but to agree.

Although he felt that bringing the children along would interfere with his work, it was good that he hadn't spent much time with Ayu and Xiaoshuang in a long time.

Lian Chengmo carried one child in his arms and held the other's hand, then slung a basket over his back and prepared to set off.

Banxia's situation was much easier. Her younger brothers were all boys and not as delicate as girls. Changshan even brought his own little basket, so Banxia only needed to lead Juanbai by the hand.

Of course, she still carried her large backpack.

The main group set off, and Banxia led them directly in the direction she usually went. Along the way, they could see the uneven patches where Banxia had planted wild vegetables.

Also in order to catch pheasant chicks, Banxia would change the place to plant wild vegetables each time. Now that Lian Chengmo came along, it would be a good opportunity to fool him for a while.

After all, who always digs wild vegetables in the same place?

However, Lian Chengmo stopped after passing two places in a row.

He put Xiao Shuang'er on the ground, then squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil to examine it closely.

After looking at it, he casually plucked a weed from the side and grabbed some soil from the roots to examine it.

Comparing the two, Lian Chengmo frowned slightly.

"..." Banxia had a bad feeling.

"Lian Chengmo, what are you looking at?" Banxia pretended to be curious and leaned closer to take a look.

“It’s really strange, Banxia. Look, this soil is dark in color and soft in texture. It’s obviously top-quality fertile soil.” Lian Chengmo showed Banxia the first handful of soil, and then gestured for her to look at the second handful.

“But in this area, where the soil is only a foot deep, the fertile soil has turned into ordinary soil. This is a very strange situation.”

“Generally speaking, the soil quality of a piece of land should be the same, if not an acre, but at least a few fen. However, here it is clearly less than a fen.”

Lian Chengmo explained to the little girl, and then suddenly looked at her.

The little girl just said that she dug up wild vegetables here, right?

Banxia had clearly thought of this as well.

Holy crap, she only thought about the unique effects of the wild vegetables she grew, but she didn't consider that they would change the soil.

She would clear one or two square meters each time to plant wild vegetables, and she used her supernatural ability countless times on the same piece of land, which actually changed the soil's fertility.

This is truly unexpected.

Banxia was simultaneously amazed by the little stickler's terrifying observational skills and frantically racking her brains, unsure how to answer.

After thinking for a long time and not knowing how to say it, Banxia simply pretended to be stupid.

"So, what's going on?" Banxia scratched her head, looking completely bewildered.

Seeing her like this, Lian Chengmo didn't press her further. After all, the girl was still young and probably hadn't participated in farming at home, so it was normal that she couldn't see these things.

However, this was the first time Lian Chengmo had ever encountered such a situation in his two lifetimes, so he immediately changed his mind.

"Banxia, ​​there are a few more places like this. I want to dig up this soil and take it back. You can use it to grow vegetables or something in the future. It should make things much easier." Lian Chengmo threw the soil back to the ground and clapped his hands as he asked Banxia.

"..." Banxia was quite surprised; she certainly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

However, Lian Chengmo's suggestion seemed good. Although she knew that she possessed special abilities and could have as much soil as she wanted, she couldn't tell anyone.

So Banxia had no choice but to nod and lead the way for someone.

So what was supposed to be a trip to dig for wild vegetables turned into a trip to dig for dirt.

Soil is much heavier than wild vegetables. After confirming several locations, Lian Chengmo took the children back and asked two people to help dig soil with a wheelbarrow.

Then, most of the excavated soil was dumped directly into the backyard where Banxia was preparing to build a house, and a small portion was dumped into the Liancheng Mo family's yard.

Lian Chengmo felt that this soil was the most fertile soil he had ever seen, and wanted to conduct a farmland experiment. If this soil could be cultivated on a large scale, he wondered how much grain could be grown in this valley.

And how many civilians, or even an army, could this grain feed?

Thinking of these things, Lian Chengmo's eyes darkened further.

Forced to go home to take care of her child, Banxia, ​​bored out of her mind, started to fuss over the pair of rabbits she had caught—yes, the rabbits were still alive.

Originally, Banxia intended to catch a rabbit for a meal, but unexpectedly caught a pregnant female rabbit, and her thoughts changed instantly.

It's troublesome to go out into these mountains; if you want to eat meat, you have to be self-sufficient.

As we all know, rabbits have an incredible reproductive capacity. A pair of rabbits, if raised properly, can produce more than a thousand offspring in a year, which is a truly staggering number.

In short, it's all meat. Even if we don't raise more than a thousand, we can breed three to five hundred, so that Banxia can eat rabbits whenever she wants after that. That would be great.

However, rabbits are not like chicks. These things can burrow, so they can't be raised like chicks. The reason they haven't run away yet is because Banxia has tied their legs.

Both rabbits had some injuries, especially the male rabbit, which was shot in the hind leg by Banxia. It was simply treated with hemostatic herbs and left alone.

Banxia preferred the pregnant female rabbit. She would keep the male rabbit if it could survive, and if it couldn't, she could just catch a new one. Anyway, the female rabbit was pregnant now, so there was no need for the male rabbit to reproduce.

However, keeping her feet bound wasn't a solution, so Banxia went to carpenter Yao again and asked for some scrap wood planks and iron nails, which the blacksmith had given her when Lian Chengmo bought so many farm tools.

Before, when we were building chicken coops, we were reluctant to use them, but now that we're ordering rabbit cages, we can't be reluctant anymore. Banxia found a handy stone and started hammering wooden planks into them.

When Lian Chengmo returned in the afternoon after finishing his work, the two rabbits had been properly put into the rabbit cage. Banxia had left a door at the top for easy access.

The gaps between the wooden planks made it easy to feed the rabbits and let their droppings fall out. Even the carpenter Yao praised the cage for its excellent construction.

At this moment, Banxia was feeding the rabbit a leaf of wild vegetable. It was the oldest and outermost leaf that had been picked off during the vegetable picking process, but even so, it was a delicious treat for the rabbit.

Heaven knows that the rabbit couple were originally attracted by the fragrant wild vegetables, but they were caught before they could even take a bite, and their rabbit burrow was exposed.

Fortunately, the couple hadn't had a chance to have children yet, and there were only the two rabbits in the rabbit hole, which is why Banxia only caught a pair of rabbits.

"Lian Chengmo, are you done with your work?" Banxia saw him return, threw the wild vegetables in her hand into the cage, stood up and smiled.

"Yes, I dumped most of that soil in your backyard. If you find it again later, you can have someone help you put it back," Lian Chengmo said as he washed his hands with water.

He had been helping to dig for half a day, and he was covered in dust.

The person who was busy cleaning himself didn't notice that Banxia looked a little guilty.
