She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

"Big brother, I can walk by myself." Lian Chengshuang seemed to have noticed her brother's difficulty and said softly.

Her small body struggled, trying to get out of the harness that was holding her.

"Lian Chengmo, I'm strong enough to carry her. If you get tired and get a fever, you won't be able to travel tomorrow." Banxia reached out to help him up, patiently persuading him.

She could tell that Lian Chengmo was really too tired to walk anymore, but three-year-old Xiao Shuang'er couldn't keep up on her own either.

Not only will it not take long, it will also slow you down.

"Miss Banxia, ​​please don't..." Lian Chengmo panicked when he saw Banxia make a move, but before he could finish his sentence, his sister had already been rescued.

"Sister, Shuang'er can walk." The little girl was still squirming in her arms, wanting to get down and walk by herself.

"Shuang'er, be good. You can't do it now. When there are fewer people on the road later, Shuang'er can walk by herself, okay?" Banxia coaxed the little girl in a low voice, and reached out to ask Lian Chengmo for a baby carrier.

That was sewn by Banxia based on modern baby care gadgets, which can easily tie a child to your body, saving a lot of effort when taking the child out.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Lian Chengmo raised his injured arm and finally gave in.

Carrying Xiao Shuang'er on her back, Banxia didn't forget her younger brother. She took her third brother Juanbai's hand and led him forward.

The second brother, Changshan, was older and had been traveling alone to escape the famine. Now, after a few days of rest, he was in better health and immediately followed, without needing anyone to lead him.

Lian Chengmo, who had intended to take someone's hand, silently withdrew it. Before the rope between him and Qi Banxia snapped, he grabbed his cousin's hand and chased after them.

Without Xiao Shuang'er as a burden, Lian Chengmo indeed walked more easily, but he kept glancing at the little girl beside him, feeling very guilty.

This was the first time he had felt powerless since turning 18.

(This article sets the age of coming of age as 18 for men and 15 for women. Coming of age and 15 means reaching adulthood and being eligible for marriage.)

So when the more than 300 people in the village ahead stopped to rest, Lian Chengmo immediately took his younger sister away and took the basket off her back.

After rescuing the little girl from her heavy burden, he forcefully made her sit on a rock by the roadside so she could rest.

Lian Chengmo untied the hemp rope, moved a few stones to make a makeshift stove, and started a fire to cook porridge.

After finishing all that, he looked at his empty water pouch and went to Banxia to ask her for a melon.

After instructing Banxia to take good care of his younger siblings, Lian Chengmo hid the melon in his sleeve and headed towards the village of three hundred people.

Meanwhile, the villagers over there were watching this side with concern.

In the afternoon, he heard from the villagers that it seemed like a few children were following behind the procession. Now that he saw them with his own eyes, he was naturally worried.

They were followed by a large group of people, as Li Zheng knew, but a group like Lian Chengmo and Qi Banxia, ​​consisting entirely of children, usually wouldn't survive more than a few days.

On the road of fleeing famine, children without adult protection would either be captured and eaten, or captured and sold for food, and in the end, they might become someone else's food.

In the end, the village head just sighed. He had seen this kind of thing many times before. Some children were even taken by their own parents to exchange for food.

Alas, it's already difficult enough to protect the children in one's own village; the village head could do nothing but sigh.

Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze from the crowd and look at the children, he noticed that a child seemed to be coming towards them.

The village head was taken aback. When Lian Chengmo got closer, he met the boy's gaze directly.

"What are you doing here, brat? This is our village's territory, don't come near us."

The villagers on the outskirts stopped Lian Chengmo, waving sticks as if they would beat him if he didn't obey.

Upon seeing this, Banxia stood up abruptly, her hand already reaching for the hilt of the knife in her basket.

Ironically, she didn't kill many zombies in the apocalypse, but she did kill quite a few people, all of whom had ulterior motives towards her.

Although she didn't know what Lian Chengmo was planning, she would definitely go to save him if he dared to make a move.

However, the consequences might be severe. Banxia didn't think she could defeat so many young and strong villagers, so reason told her to wait and see.

He also casually held down the anxious Lian Chengyu, his eyes fixed on the other side.

Banxia noticed that Lian Chengmo had said something, and then she successfully entered the village's encirclement and arrived in front of a bearded man.

After that, with so many people standing up and surrounding her, she couldn't see what Lian Chengmo was doing inside.

Banxia only released her grip on the knife hilt and breathed a slight sigh of relief when the other person walked out of the crowd.

Seeing the person return, Banxia couldn't help but complain.

"Lian Chengmo, if you do something so dangerous again, can you at least give me a heads-up?" Banxia said, somewhat annoyed.

When this person asked her for melons, she thought he wanted some for himself.

"I've made some arrangements, and we can follow them all the way to the Vietnamese capital," Lian Chengmo explained good-naturedly, seemingly unconcerned about Banxia's attitude.

He went there on a whim because he heard the name of the village: Yao Li Village.

In the previous life, this village was quite famous during the riots in Vietnam Province because Yao Lizheng of Yao Li Village led the villagers to break through the encirclement.

He stood out among the refugees fleeing famine, gained favor with his superiors, and entered the Vietnamese government.

As long as we stick close to them, even though they don't want to enter Vietnam, our safety along the way will be somewhat guaranteed.

Although the girl was quite capable, Lian Chengmo never intended to put all the pressure on her.

It's just a pity about the land deed of his old house.

However, he will not go back in the future, so there is no point in keeping him.

"Are they so easy to talk to?" Banxia asked, somewhat surprised.

Isn't it said that people in ancient times, especially villagers who stick together, were very xenophobic?

Moreover, we are currently in a special period of famine and displacement.

"Of course, there was a price to pay. Some of the things my parents left behind were given away." Lian Chengmo said frankly, not intending to hide it from the young girl.

It seemed that this young girl knew very well how much wealth he possessed.

"Tsk, you're really generous, but it's good this way, it saves a lot of trouble." Banxia clicked her tongue and sighed.

Lian Chengmo's things, even the worst ones, were silver ingots. Although it was a chaotic time, they could still buy a lot of food in towns.

Not to mention that when he paid for security guards, he certainly didn't just give away those silver ingots.

Banxia felt a pang of heartache at the thought, but looking at the large group of over three hundred people over there, she thought, "Well, it's worth it to replace so many security guards."

Over there, Yao Lizheng was just about to arrange a position for Banxia and the others after receiving the benefits when trouble came knocking.
