She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Just as Banxia had predicted, there was a rabbit burrow nearby.

You have to admit the ancients were very clever. Banxia watched as Boss Yao directed the villagers to find several rabbit holes, then used a flint to set fire to dry grass and smoke out the rabbit holes, waiting for the little rabbits to walk into the trap. After all this, she didn't even have a chance to intervene.

Well, so our ancestors knew this trick to catch rabbits so early on?

Banxia shrugged, looking at the string of seven or eight rabbits with regret, her mouth watering!

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, a slightly familiar voice came from behind me.

"Hey? Girl, when did you get here?"

It was the uncle who had stopped Banxia earlier, and who had been stuffed with a string of sour loquats by Banxia.

As soon as he spoke, the four or five men from Yaoli Village all looked over, especially the eldest Yao, whose gaze toward Banxia was slightly scrutinizing.

Could this girl have come here to share the rabbits?

Although the information about the rabbit came from this girl, it took the whole group of them a lot of effort to catch it, so they absolutely couldn't just give it to her like that.

"Uncle, I just came over out of curiosity. I was just about to go back and pick some fruit." Banxia simply shrugged, as if she really had no intention of picking up any bargains.

Boss Yao looked at Banxia suspiciously. It wasn't that he was overthinking it, but the girl's actions were too ruthless and she didn't seem like an ordinary child.

Besides, how could a little girl survive a famine alone with her younger brother?

However, when Banxia mentioned wild fruit, Yao Laoda stopped scrutinizing her. In any case, the girl deserved credit for finding the wild fruit and rabbit this time.

If the hunting trip goes well, it's not that we can't share some with her.

However, Boss Yao had no intention of revealing anything, and only said with a straight face.

"Don't run around like that, it's very dangerous up in the mountains. If you get lost or hurt, we won't be responsible."

After saying that, Boss Yao called everyone back to the loquat tree, and the others naturally followed happily.

Only the uncle who discovered Banxia called her over and quietly explained to her.

"Girl, that's just how Boss Yao is, sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. He didn't mean to be mean to you." The uncle's face lit up with joy, because the extra rabbits he caught meant a bigger share of the meat.

"I know, Uncle, thank you for telling me all this." Banxia smiled slightly, her legs moving quickly, not falling behind at all.

At the same time, Banxia hid the emotions in her eyes.

She had seen many people like Boss Yao in the apocalypse. When there was something to gain or no conflict, he would naturally not say much and might even protect you.

However, if you infringe upon the other party's interests, they will not hesitate to kick you out.

This kind of person is selfish, but there's nothing inherently wrong with them, and Banxia thinks they can still get along.

For the rest of the journey, Banxia obediently followed the group, doing whatever everyone else did.

However, her basket was already full, and she had a rabbit hanging from her waist, so in the end she only dug up a few handfuls of wild vegetables to take with her.

Her busy appearance drew the attention of the older women, who praised her for her competence. Everyone was in a good mood because of the loquat tree.

After just over an hour on the mountain, Yao's gathering team returned with a full load, while the gathering team on the opposite mountain and the two hunting teams had not yet returned.

However, once the newly gathered wild vegetables and fruits were brought back, Yao Lizheng immediately distributed them, and every household began to process the wild vegetables.

Some are making pancakes, others are cooking wild vegetable porridge.

Several rabbits were also skinned, chopped into pieces, and cooked. The men expended a lot of energy hunting, so they could eat rabbit meat as soon as they returned to recover.

This way, we won't be late for our afternoon journey.

Although Boss Yao and his men brought back quite a lot of things, as soon as they finished dividing them up, he led his men up the mountain to continue digging for wild vegetables.

At this time of year, who would complain about having too much food?

In short, you can't be idle.

Banxia declined Yao Laoda's wife's invitation. She had enough to eat and had other things to do besides going up the mountain to gather food.

It was at this moment that Banxia realized why the people of Yaoli Village were so neat and orderly.

This village has plenty of grain, no wonder they've managed to stay together all this time.

After looking around at the people making pancakes and rice balls, Banxia went to find Lianchengmo, who was cleaning up the rabbits.

"Lian Chengmo, shall we take half a rabbit and exchange it with the village head for some brown rice?" Banxia suggested.

Although they still have a lot of dried meat, they can't eat dried meat every meal, can they?

That half-basket of loquats can't be eaten as a meal.

"Okay." Lian Chengmo had no objections and even agreed.

In his view, at this time of year, game is easy to find in the mountains, but food is scarce.

Even if the kids like Half Rabbit were to eat very sparingly, they could only manage two meals at most. But if they switched to brown rice, they could eat several more meals.

"Okay, then cut the rabbit in half for me, and I'll go get it." Banxia urged immediately after seeing that the old-fashioned boy had agreed.

Everyone was busy at the moment, and there were few people around, so her running to the village head to exchange for brown rice was not conspicuous.

No sooner had she finished speaking than the village head's voice rang out from behind her, as if her wish had come true.

"Young master, what would you like to exchange?" Yao Lizheng asked with a smile, clearly having overheard their conversation, though not entirely.

"Yao Lizheng, what brings you here? Please have a seat." Banxia greeted him warmly as soon as she turned around and saw him.

There was no other reason than that Yao was carrying a rabbit leg, clearly a gift for them.

Whether it's the apocalypse or now, food is Banxia's favorite thing.

"Thanks to your help today, girl, otherwise Dashan and the others wouldn't have been able to harvest so much. This rabbit leg is a gift from the village to you, take it." Yao Lizheng sat down next to Banxia with a smile and handed the rabbit leg to Lian Chengmo.

Anyway, the two families' children were eating together, and Yao Lizheng could try to win favor by giving the rabbit leg to the young master.

"Thank you, Uncle Lizheng, but this is not my achievement. You should give it to Miss Banxia." Lian Chengmo did not accept it, but instead looked at Banxia.

"..." Yao Lizheng felt like he was trying to flatter the wrong person.

"Um, Uncle Village Head, I didn't share the rabbits and loquats I hunted with the village, so you don't need to share what you got with me," Banxia quickly said, seeing that Village Head Yao was a little embarrassed.

Although it was painful for her, she had no choice but to refuse it for the sake of brown rice.

After saying that, she glared at the old-fashioned guy. This old-fashioned guy, when it was his turn to take action, he refused to do it.

It would have been so much better if he had just accepted it directly. At worst, she could have gone to Yao Lizheng to exchange it for brown rice later!

Now that's settled, let her decide. How could she possibly accept someone's meat and then try to exchange it for brown rice?

Favors and such can only be used once!
