She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Chapter 4 Poisoning, Annihilation Without Leaving a Single One

But what if I don't go?

Lian Chengmo gritted his teeth and crept towards another direction. Sure enough, he saw the three boys chasing after Banxia. Due to the height difference, Lian Chengmo could see the three boys and Banxia, ​​but the two boys couldn't see him.

After thinking for a moment, Lian Chengmo picked up his slingshot and fired it in several directions, then made a few random noises imitating the meows of wild cats.

Seeing that the three below had paused and seemed hesitant, Lian Chengmo hurried towards Banxia, ​​who was running up.

"Banxia, ​​how are you? Did that person find you?" Lian Chengmo quickly helped her up and pulled her into the deeper bushes.

"Probably not. Those moves you made probably confused him. Lian Chengmo, let's wait a little longer, then we'll go over there and wait for him to come to us." Banxia said, panting, as she pulled Lian Chengmo along.

She can't wait to see how miserable those people are.

When she was almost caught, she even thought about jumping out and killing the person. She still had poisoned daggers in her hand; if she just lightly pierced the other person's skin, they would die in less than two minutes.

But that would expose them. Let that guy go back. Good brothers should stay together!

Sure enough, once the two hid, the three boys could no longer hear any more "wildcat" noises. After hesitating for a while, they stumbled down the mountain.

He'd heard there were wolves on that mountain, and he didn't want to risk going up there.

After the three left, Banxia and her companion squatted in the same spot for a while longer. Only after confirming that the people had left did they return to the place where they had been lying in ambush and once again lay down on the hillside to look down.

Sure enough, those people were already eating.

That's the third one. He seemed to have been scolded and was looking a bit dejected, eating alone in a corner with his bowl.

After waiting for a while without seeing anything unusual about the other, Lian Chengmo became a little anxious.

After all, he only knew that mushrooms were poisonous, but he didn't know exactly when the poison would take effect or how potent it would be.

He subconsciously looked at Banxia.

"Don't worry, they probably diluted the toxin by stewing it in soup. They'll be down in a quarter of an hour at most!" Banxia still trusted the poison of the white poison cap; it was extremely poisonous and there was no antidote.

Even if it's diluted, it just means they'll die a little later.

Hearing her say that, Lian Chengmo suppressed his anxiety and continued to look down at the group of people he wanted to devour.

However, less than fifteen minutes later, the first person collapsed.

Seeing the man foaming at the mouth and his eyes rolling upwards repeatedly, the others were astonished. What was wrong with this guy?

However, before they could find an answer, the second and third people fell down one after another.

Then, like the tarot card effect, after the first one, everyone else collapsed, their eyes rolling back, foaming at the mouth, and convulsing uncontrollably!

Banxia was overjoyed and exchanged a glance with Lian Chengmo, seeing the joy in his eyes as well.

After Banxia got her hands on the white poison umbrella, Lian Chengmo remembered the slingshot his uncle had made for his younger cousin. Although he hadn't had much opportunity to play with it since he was a student, he still knew how to use it and was quite accurate.

Sure enough, they found his precious slingshot on his cousin Lian Chengyu, and the two devised this poisoning plan, which went surprisingly smoothly.

"Let's go down and take a look!" Banxia pulled Lianchengmo and took the lead down the mountain.

Banxia's eyes dimmed slightly, and she followed suit.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Banxia saw that the first few people who had collapsed had completely lost consciousness and were motionless, and she didn't know if they had already died.

She followed closely behind Lian Chengmo and soon saw several people who had been carelessly abandoned by the bandits.

Seeing that the two couples weren't even bound by ropes, Banxia knew something was wrong. She paused for a moment, but still headed towards the figure she remembered.

Just as she reached out to touch the hem of her grandfather's clothes, Lian Chengmo's heart-wrenching screams came from the side.

"Mother, Father!"

"Wake up, wake up!" Lian Chengmo said hoarsely, shaking the two bodies desperately and even slapping their cheeks.

Unfortunately, no matter what he did, the two people on the ground didn't move at all, and their bodies even stiffened slightly, clearly indicating that they had been dead for quite some time.

Sure enough, the bandits didn't tie them up, simply because it was unnecessary.

Banxia listened to the boy's hoarse cries, unable to bear turning her head to look, and raised her hand to close her grandfather's half-open eyes.

The old man probably died without peace of mind, still worried about his grandchildren.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my younger siblings." Thinking of the old man's protectiveness before he died and his desperate shouts urging her to run, Banxia choked with emotion as she made the promise.

Then they began to arrange the deceased's remains, laying their stiff limbs flat and peacefully.

Just as Banxia was tidying up, she suddenly heard a whooshing sound, accompanied by a man's cursing.

"You damned little beast, you dared to poison me! Die!" The newcomer brandished a large knife and viciously slashed at Banxia.

This person was the one who cooked with Sanzi earlier. Perhaps because of his low status, he didn't get much meat soup. He had only taken a sip when someone collapsed. However, he wasn't seriously poisoned and was able to get up and sneak up on Banxia.

Banxia wasn't the original owner of the body, so the moment she heard the sound, her body reacted by rolling on the spot, causing the person to miss with their sword and instead strike the bones of her grandfather lying on the ground.

The man seemed a little unsteady on his feet. After the first strike, he swayed and tried to pull the knife out to continue chopping at Banxia, ​​but found that the blade was stuck in the bones of the corpse.

Banxia, ​​who had been dodging nearby, immediately noticed this. Taking advantage of his weakness, she quickly grabbed her self-defense stick from the mountain and leaped up, striking the man hard on the head.

"Bang! Bang!" Two sounds rang out.

One sound was the sound of a man's head being smashed open, and the other sound was the sound of a man's body collapsing to the ground, unable to withstand the severe blows.

After two blows, the man, with his head scalped in blood, remained completely still.

"Damn it, brothers, these two bastards poisoned it! Grab them and make them hand over the antidote!" The commotion attracted the attention of the few bandits who were still alive on the other side.

The four or five men who hadn't fainted yet stood up shakily, drew their knives, and were about to grab Banxia and Lianchengmo.

Upon seeing this, Banxia immediately raised the stick in her hand in front of her, looking at the remaining "remnants" with a wary expression.

Although the other party is poisoned and will die sooner or later, they are not dead yet and still have some fighting ability.

Just as Banxia was on high alert, she suddenly felt a gust of wind pass by her. Lian Chengmo had somehow pulled out the large knife that was stuck in her grandfather's body and charged forward with bloodshot eyes.
