She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Banxia frowned and looked across at the other side. She knew immediately that these words were meant for the boy and his siblings.

The two couples who stopped them at the foot of the mountain were clearly scholars, dressed in long scholar's robes that only a Xiucai (a scholar who had passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations) could wear!

"Don't panic. Those kids probably wouldn't dare go deep into the mountains. We'll just stay down here and keep watch. Their parents are in our hands. We'll get them sooner or later!"

"Let's go back and deal with their parents first. Women's flesh is good too. Let them watch me eat their mother bit by bit, hahaha!" The scarred man spat again, deliberately shouted loudly up the mountain, and then called another person down the mountain.

Banxia looked at the children who were hiding there with them.

She had just seen it when she left. The old man, the only relative of her three siblings, was definitely not going to make it. If she went back, she would just be delivering vegetables to him, vegetables in the real sense.

The eldest boy was biting his lip, his pale lips bleeding, his dark, narrow phoenix eyes wide open, large tears rolling down his cheeks as he wept silently.

He probably wanted to go back to save his parents, but I don't know if they're still alive.

Looking at the boy's two younger siblings, perhaps influenced by their older brother, they were also shedding large tears, but they were well-behaved and didn't make a sound, unlike the two younger brothers she was covering up, who were still struggling to find their grandfather.

Seeing the three siblings like this, Banxia was overcome with sorrow, remembering the old man who had told her to run away...

Well, she's still inhabiting someone else's granddaughter's body, so even if she's just collecting someone's corpse, she should go.

Thinking of this, Banxia's mind raced. In her previous life, she was quite sensitive and socially awkward, but that didn't mean she had no ability to resist people.

Just as Banxia was covering her younger brothers' mouths and looking around, a patch of white under the shade of trees outside the mountain crevice caught her attention.

Hearing that the shouts outside had stopped, it seemed that they had indeed gone to wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump at the foot of the mountain, just as they said. Banxia lowered her head and said to her two younger brothers.

"Stop crying, or we'll all be caught and cooked. Grandpa will have died in vain. Can you bear to let the old man die with his eyes open?" Banxia's voice was low and sounded soft.

His two younger brothers stared at him blankly, then shook their heads frantically.

Seeing this, the boy opposite also let go of his younger siblings, wiped away his tears, and watched Banxia's actions.

Banxia first peeked out and looked around. Finding no danger, she quickly ran to the shade of the tree she saw, and then her eyes lit up.

It really is the White Poison Amanita.

This thing is highly poisonous, also known as the deadly Amanita mushroom. It is pure white, and when the cap is opened, it can be 7-12 centimeters in diameter. The surface is smooth, and the flesh is also white.

They often grow in groups or scattered under the shade of trees, with the most abundant growth occurring in spring, from March to April. Right now is their best season for growth.

As for the toxins, you can tell from their names that they are extremely toxic. They are mainly amatoxins and other toxins that can cause the failure of various organs in the human body, leading to death, with a mortality rate as high as 95%.

It's safe to say that if you accidentally ingest it, you're basically doomed, let alone in ancient times where the mortality rate is 100%!

The cluster of white death cap plants that Banxia discovered must have at least twenty plants, enough to poison the group of people down the mountain.

The question is, how is she supposed to poison him?

But we'll talk about that later. Banxia tore off a piece of her skirt to cover her hand, then picked up a large leaf, rolled it into a trumpet shape, carefully collected the mature white fungus, put it inside the leaf, wrapped it up, and then turned back into the mountain crevice.

As soon as she got back, she met the boy's gaze. His expression changed when he saw the mushrooms she was holding.

"This thing is poisonous and can't be eaten!" The boy quickly walked over and raised his hand to knock the white poison umbrella that Banxia was holding.

But how could Banxia agree to that?

He swerved to avoid it and hurriedly said, "I know it's poisonous!"
