She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

In short, Lian Chengmo's heart was like an overturned inkstone, with ink spilled all over the ground, a complete mess.

Confucius said, "I do not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits," but strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits seem to have really happened to him?

Just then, he felt a warm touch on his forehead. Lian Chengmo turned his head slightly and met Banxia's worried eyes.

"Lian Chengmo, did you burn too much and go crazy?" Banxia was still worried when she saw Lian Chengmo looking a bit dazed.

"..." Lian Chengmo.

"Lian Chengmo, how many is this?" Banxia held up three fingers, deciding to test it anyway.

“…Three.” Lian Chengmo swallowed the melon in his mouth with difficulty, feeling somewhat speechless.

He wasn't stupid, he just didn't quite realize what was happening.

"It's alright. If you feel unwell anywhere, just let me know. I'll go make some porridge."

"Ayu, take care of your eldest brother. Changshan Juanbai, you two come and help your eldest sister." Banxia was slightly relieved and began to give instructions.

The boys all nodded in agreement, and even Xiao Shuang'er, who hadn't been assigned a role, nodded to indicate that she would take good care of her older brother.

Seeing this, Lian Chengmo felt a pang of tenderness in his heart; his little sister was still as considerate and adorable as ever.

With her two younger brothers by her side, Banxia returned to the stove and started a fire to cook porridge.

We weren't supposed to eat dinner this early, but now that Lian Chengmo has woken up, we need to make him eat more. The little bit of porridge we fed him while he was unconscious is nothing compared to how much he eats on his own.

Furthermore, Banxia also noticed that Lian Chengmo seemed to be having a nightmare and was particularly concerned about his younger siblings, so she deliberately left them some space to be alone.

After lighting the fire and setting up the pot, Banxia asked her second brother Changshan to watch over the fire while she took out the firewood from her basket and placed it around the fire to roast.

Drying it out a bit will reduce the amount of black smoke when burning it, preventing it from being choking.

Of course, for some thicker tree trunks, Banxia would pick up a large knife and split them directly in the middle, making them easier to dry.

Of course, it's not used to chop wood like an axe. After all, the blade of this kind of knife is actually quite thin, and those thieves got it from somewhere, so the quality isn't good. It can't be used as an axe to chop wood at all.

Pinellia ternata is prepared by cutting a notch at one end, then breaking it in half with one hand and "tearing" it in two.

"Big sister, you're amazing! Let me help you." Qi Juanbai looked at his older sister with admiration as she easily chopped the firewood, just like their father.

"..." Lian Chengmo witnessed the little girl's incredible strength.

"Ayu, this... how does Miss Banxia treat you and Shuang'er?" Lian Chengmo asked his cousin in a low voice.

Although he remembered that he and Qi Banxia poisoned those people together, so they should be allies, his memory ended when he saw Qi Banxia return with a basket on her back.

He then fell into a coma and only woke up now.

Everything was different from his original memories, so Lian Chengmo was naturally worried that Qi Banxia would abuse his younger siblings while he was unconscious.

After all, this girl acted quite ruthlessly, and she was also a variable in his memory.

"Big brother, Sister Banxia is so kind! She found rice and firewood, let Shuang'er and me drink porridge together, and even taught us how to play games," Lian Chengyu said immediately, his face full of joy.

He fully expressed his affection for Banxia, ​​but he lowered his voice, afraid that Banxia and her two siblings would hear them talking about her.

"Give Shuang'er some melon too, it's sweet." Lian Cheng Shuang also hurriedly imitated her two older brothers, lowering her voice.

Children don't know what talking about someone behind their back means; they just think it's some kind of game.

"Yes, brother, Sister Banxia found some melons in the mountains today, the ones you're eating. Sister Banxia said there are still quite a few more in the mountains."

"She even saved the melon seeds, saying that she would use them to plant when she had a place to stay in the future."

"Brother, when you're eating the melon seeds, spit them out. Don't let them eat them." Lian Chengyu said, then suddenly remembered this and immediately instructed Lian Chengmo.

“…Okay.” Lian Chengmo stared blankly at the melon in his hand for a moment, then his gaze fell on Qi Banxia, ​​a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

In April, where would you find melons?

Despite his thoughts, Lian Chengmo still carefully preserved the seeds as his cousin had instructed.

Anyone who has experienced a famine knows how important seeds are once the famine is over.

Even if it's not a grain seed, but a melon seed.

After silently finishing the melon and handing the seeds to his cousin, Lian Chengmo sat against the mountain wall, his gaze occasionally falling on Qi Banxia.

It was very subtle, and the person involved did not notice anything unusual at all.

Banxia is busy cooking porridge right now, but this time it's not just porridge, there are also some wild vegetables she picked up.

Although it tastes a bit astringent, it's still better than just eating porridge.

Soon a pot of porridge was cooked. Banxia took it down and let it sit for a while until it wasn't so hot anymore, then immediately called everyone to eat.

Just as she was about to serve a bowl to Lian Chengmo, she noticed that he had come over on his own.

"Can you drink porridge by yourself?" Banxia asked kindly, glancing at the other person's injured arm.

The subtext is: If you can't handle it, don't push yourself, lest you worsen your injury.

"I can manage, thank you for your trouble, Miss Banxia!" Lian Chengmo glanced at his injury, but still said politely.

Upon hearing this, Banxia gave him a strange look, then served him a full bowl of porridge.

"Thank you." Lian Chengmo accepted the porridge with his uninjured hand and thanked him politely.

Banxia glanced at him strangely again, and saw him turn around and sit with his younger brother and sister, quietly drinking porridge.

Only then did he suppress the strange feeling in his heart, fill himself a bowl with wild vegetable porridge, squat down next to his third brother Juanbai and bury himself in eating.

With food to eat, Banxia temporarily put her strange feelings aside.

After a hearty meal, Banxia finished washing the pots and pans, and it was almost dark.

There weren't many forms of entertainment in ancient times, and Banxia felt that Lianchengmo was acting strangely after waking up, so she stopped talking to him and went to sleep with her two younger brothers.

Lian Chengmo, perhaps still recovering from his injuries, fell asleep first while listening to his younger siblings chattering away.

When he woke up again, Qi Banxia was no longer in the small cave.

A few children, however, were tending the fire, diligently turning the firewood to dry the embers.

It turned out that Banxia got up early in the morning to cook porridge and then went to carry back a basket of half-damp firewood.

"Big brother, you're awake."

"Sister Banxia said you were sick and needed to sleep more, so we didn't wake you up."

"Look, this is the breakfast that Sister Banxia left for you." As usual, Lian Chengyu was the first to notice that her older brother had woken up.

Seeing that the person had woken up, they quickly brought over a bowl of warm wild vegetable porridge to feed their cousin.

"Where did she... what did Miss Banxia go to do?" Lian Chengmo asked, taking the bowl with one hand.

During this time, he glanced at the cave entrance again. There were fewer stones blocking it, but the rain outside still seemed to be pouring.

Isn't this little girl afraid of catching a cold by running out like that?
