She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Anyone who has picked wild fruits in the mountains knows that fruit trees usually grow on hilltops, cliffs, and other places with plenty of sunshine and rain. Banxia followed this clue and sure enough, she found something good.

Those were two loquat trees, now laden with green and yellow fruit, a delightful sight.

"Finally, I can eat fruit." Banxia stood under the tree, beaming with joy, and muttered to herself.

Banxia hid the basket deep in the grass, then grabbed a cloth bag made from old clothes and scurried up the tree.

Banxia reached out and tore off a string of pipa leaves. She couldn't wait to peel off the biggest and yellowest pipa leaf and put it in her mouth.

Then, she perked up completely.

"Oh my god, it's so sour!" Banxia's face was so sour it made a meme.

It's so sour, how can I eat it?

Banxia looked at the remaining loquats in her hand, feeling somewhat worried.

If she eats it, it's really hard to swallow; if she doesn't eat it, it's a rare find for her, and she doesn't know if she'll be lucky enough to encounter such fruit again.

After hesitating for a while, Banxia climbed up the tree a little further, looked around from a high vantage point, and made sure that the people who had come up the mountain with her definitely couldn't see this side before placing her little hand on the highest branch with the most loquats.

The green supernatural power surged through Banxia's hand into the loquat tree trunk, causing the branch to visibly thicken and the leaves on it to grow larger and greener.

Not to mention the loquats hanging on the branches, each one big and round, quickly turning from greenish-yellow to pure yellow, their bright and plump appearance making them look incredibly tempting.

A minute passed, and Banxia had used up most of her superpowers. Just before she was about to run out of energy, she decisively withdrew her superpowers.

"Phew, if this hadn't turned sweeter, I would have lost a fortune." Banxia breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pick the nearest string of pipa-shaped lutes.

I quickly peeled one and popped it into my mouth. Thankfully, it was very sweet.

The loquats that have been nurtured by supernatural abilities not only have thicker, sweeter flesh, but even their pits have become much smaller, just like improved varieties from later generations.

Carefully collecting the fruit pits, Banxia continued eating until she had finished all twenty or thirty fruits in the bunch before stopping.

"I'll pick the rest and take them back to Changshan and the others to eat," Banxia muttered excitedly, and began walking a tightrope high in the air. Of course, she held firmly to the other thick branches and carefully picked the fruit.

During this time, Banxia also carried the full cloth bag down once, climbed up the tree to fill another bag, and carefully put the pipa into the basket, which quickly filled the entire basket.

Banxia happily slung her basket over her shoulder, intending to return home with a full load, but she carefully put it back as soon as she took a step.

She quietly leaned forward and looked in a certain direction, and Banxia's eyes immediately widened.

Goodness, what incredible luck she has!

In another direction, not far from the loquat tree, there were three gray and white rabbits grazing. They were so focused that they didn't even flinch when Banxia climbed down the tree.

Without waiting any longer, Banxia immediately pulled out her slingshot. This time, being so close, she was sure she could hit it.

With this determination, Banxia aimed and launched the drink together.

With the sharp pebble and Banxia's uncanny strength, she actually managed to hit a rabbit. The pebble went through the rabbit's eye and into its brain, killing it instantly.

The bad news was that the rabbit's sudden death startled its two companions. The two rabbits, no longer caring about food, took off running and jumped into the waist-high grass, disappearing from sight in an instant.

Banxia wasn't disappointed; she was happy to have hit one, which proved that her slingshot practice hadn't been in vain!

She ran over happily and picked up the dead rabbit, but Banxia slipped and almost fell.

Looking down, I realized that the rabbits weren't eating grass at all, but rather the fruit peels that Banxia had just thrown down from the tree while eating loquats!

Remembering that her previous prey had all been attracted by the plants or melons she had ripened, Banxia subconsciously looked up at the loquat tree.

On the branch she had encouraged to grow, the loquat leaves were noticeably larger and greener than those on the other branches.

After thinking for a moment, Banxia hid the basket and the rabbit and climbed the tree again. This time, she picked a lot of loquat leaves.

Loquat leaves are a traditional Chinese medicine with the effects of clearing the lungs and relieving cough, harmonizing the stomach and promoting urination, and quenching thirst. Loquat leaves that have been enhanced by Banxia's special abilities are probably even more effective.

Now that we're on our way to escape famine, June is almost here. Drying these loquat leaves and steeping them in water to drink is good for our health.

Carefully covering the loquat leaves on her back basket, Banxia took the first bunch of sour loquats she had picked in her hand, and with the rabbit in her other hand, she quickly headed towards the main group.

These loquats can't be kept for long unless they're made into jam.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have the time right now, so she might as well give it to the villagers of Yaoli Village as a favor. She's sure they won't mind that the fruit is sour.

Sure enough, when Banxia ran back in a flash and told the uncle who had stopped her earlier, she casually shoved the bunch of sour loquats into his hand, successfully drawing everyone's attention.

"What? There are wild fruits over there?"

"What? There are rabbits over there?"

Upon hearing about these two items, everyone spontaneously ran towards them without Banxia needing to say anything.

Wild vegetables are so bland and tasteless, what's so good about them? Wild fruits, no matter how sour, still have a bit of sweetness.

In particular, the men heard that rabbits had been spotted over there, and even more so, that Banxia had released two rabbits. They were immediately excited and urged Banxia to lead the way so they could catch the rabbits.

The women, who had already run a short distance ahead, stopped in their tracks. Oh right, they didn't know where they were yet, and they all turned around to look at Banxia expectantly.

The village head's daughter-in-law even went up to Banxia and said nice things to her with a happy smile.

“My father-in-law is right. You are indeed a lucky girl. Otherwise, we would have searched for wild fruits in the mountains so many times without finding them, but you saw them as soon as you arrived.”

Banxia, ​​who was originally doing a favor, immediately led the men to two loquat trees and pointed out the direction in which the two rabbits had escaped.

"Damn it, I'm taking some men to catch rabbits. You take them to pick wild fruit," Yao the eldest instructed, before leading his men off to catch rabbits, his eyes already searching for any signs of escape.

"Dad, don't go too far," Yao's eldest daughter-in-law said cheerfully, then turned and climbed up the tree.

Seeing that the group had split into two, Banxia thought for a moment and then followed Boss Yao and the others.

The rabbit arrived so quickly, which means there's a rabbit burrow nearby. If she follows it, she might even catch one.

Thinking this, Banxia found a secluded spot to hide her basket and quietly followed Boss Yao and the others.

The women, engrossed in picking fruit, didn't even notice.
