She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

I didn't expect them to be such big deer. Even the smaller one must weigh at least 30 or 40 pounds.

Banxia nudged Lian Chengmo and glanced at the slingshot in his hand.

The implication is, can such a large deer be shot down with a slingshot?

Lian Chengmo glanced at the two deer happily eating not far away and pointed to his eyes.

It means he tried hitting the eye to see if he could hit it.

"Okay," Banxia gave the other party an OK sign, then gripped the broadsword with both hands, ready to strike.

If Lian Chengmo misses, she rushes in and slashes; she'll always manage to hit one of them.

Having survived the apocalypse and spent the last few days wandering the mountains, Banxia was confident she could catch up with the deer.

With a whoosh, Lian Chengmo made his move. His first strike was very accurate, piercing through one of the deer's eyes.

Startled, the deer let out a scream and immediately ran away, causing Lian Chengmo's second attack to miss.

As for the deer, neither of them considered it at first; it would be better if they could catch it, but it wouldn't matter if they couldn't.

So, the instant the deer ran off, Banxia also sprang out like a spring.

The eye injury definitely affected the deer; unable to see the road clearly, it ran somewhat unsteadily.

The fawn was probably used to running with its mother, so it followed wherever the adult deer went.

So when Banxia caught up with the deer and, without hesitation, slashed its neck, the little deer was still lingering not far from her.

The stag, before it died, let out a cry towards the fawn, perhaps urging it to run away.

"Hey, if you don't run, I'll kill you!" Banxia brandished her knife at Xiaolu, threatening her with a smile.

Then, the fawn seemed startled, turned and ran, disappearing into the depths of the forest in a flash.

It wasn't that Banxia didn't want to catch the fawn, but the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and she didn't have much salt left, so the meat wouldn't keep.

The big deer already weighs 60 or 70 pounds, let's release the small ones and let them grow bigger.

The deer hadn't been running for long when Lian Chengmo caught up with it.

Seeing that Banxia had already slit the deer's throat and was collecting the blood with a water bag, she silently stepped forward to help.

At this moment, the scene of the two poisoning those thieves reappeared in Lian Chengmo's mind. He glanced at Banxia and fell into deep thought.

How could a young girl, especially one from the countryside, possess such ruthless and decisive methods?

Lian Chengmo couldn't understand it, but he didn't dare to ask. He felt that everything had changed after his rebirth.

The three siblings neither trembled in fear as they hid from the thieves, nor did they nearly starve to death.

All these changes were because of the girl in front of me...

"Lian Chengmo, what are you thinking about?" Banxia poked the old-fashioned guy in front of her with a finger.

I don't know what it was thinking, it didn't respond even after I called it twice.

"What's wrong?" Lian Chengmo quickly snapped out of his daze, his gaze meeting Qi Banxia's.

"I said let's move this deer back to where we were before, there are still a lot of melons we haven't picked yet." Banxia pointed to the deer head that Lian Chengmo was supporting.

“Okay.” Lian Chengmo had no objections.

Besides, the baskets they brought are still sitting there.

The two then returned the way they came, and sure enough, several melons of the remaining two melons were ruined, but fortunately, there were still about ten left.

"They know these melons are delicious." Banxia puffed out her cheeks, heartbroken over the few melons they lost.

Even though I know it's more cost-effective to exchange a few melons for a deer, I still feel bad about wasting a few melons!

Sigh, I'm still too poor.

"I'll give you all my share. I'll go find more for you after you finish eating," Lian Chengmo said as he put the last few melons into his basket.

He could tell that the little girl really liked eating this melon.

However, after examining the melon vine for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what kind of variety it was, or whether it was only found on this mountain.

If that's the case, then we should find more before leaving.

Although he didn't know why melons would ripen at this time of year, seeing the melon vines with his own eyes dispelled some of his doubts.

This is attributed to the wondrous gift of nature.

In his previous life, when Lian Chengmo led his younger siblings to flee famine, he also found a lot of out-of-season food in the mountains, except that it was in the mountains closer to the south.

After seeing more of the world, Lian Chengmo realized that things in the south mature earlier than those in the north.

"Okay, then you'll have to help me find some, but you can eat your share yourself. I'm not going to fight with the injured for food." Banxia said jokingly, but she breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems this old-fashioned woman has no doubt that the out-of-season melon is related to her.

Indeed, having picked them all by hand, how could anyone have imagined that these melons were actually just grown by her?

"Okay!" Lian Chengmo nodded solemnly, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

He felt that Banxia was just like his sister from his previous life—greedy but principled.

In fact, the food for the three siblings was all prepared by the little girl, so how could it be considered as stealing?

Lian Chengmo shook his head inwardly, reached out and put the basket the little girl had been carrying on his back onto his own, and then reached out to lift the deer.

"You can carry the basket on your back; I can handle the deer by myself," Banxia refused.

As she spoke, she tied the deer's front and hind legs together, then threaded a sturdy wooden stick through the middle, and simply lifted the deer up on her shoulder.

Seeing Lian Chengmo looking at her in surprise, she quickly said.

"I'm very strong, have you forgotten?"

After saying that, he ignored Lian Chengmo and strode towards the cave.

We need to process this venison today; there's a lot of work to do.

Lian Chengmo, who was behind her, seemed to recall what happened that day and silently strode after her.

His eyes were always on Banxia, ​​so that if she tripped and fell, he could catch her at any time.

However, Banxia walked steadily until she returned to the cave, where she only stumbled slightly.

"Big sister, what's this?" Qi Juanbai ran out as soon as he saw the person from afar.

He kept watch at the cave entrance, hoping his sister would bring back something delicious.

It would be best to bring back a rabbit, just like last time.

He didn't recognize what the animal with horns on its head was.

However, since it was all meat anyway, Qi Juanbai was still very excited and ran over to Banxia in a flash.

Behind him followed a string of little radishes: Qi Changshan, Lian Chengyu, and Lian Chengshuang, all of whom ran out.

“I know this. It’s deer. My grandfather ate it when he celebrated his birthday.” Lian Chengyu trailed behind, but her voice followed seamlessly.

"Wow, Ayu, is the meat of this venison delicious?" Qi Juanbai asked Lian Chengyu as soon as he saw that his friend actually knew this horned animal.

"Delicious, meaty!" was Lian Chengshuang's reply.

She also remembered the horned, fleshy creature; it was so delicious.

"Don't block the way here, let's go back to the cave first." Banxia said helplessly as a group of little radishes blocked her way.
