She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

If she can't go to Yongzhou Prefecture, then her big lobster and crab feast and seafood dinner will be ruined.

Thinking about it this way, Banxia couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment on her face.

"You really want to go to Yongzhou Prefecture?" Lian Chengmo asked curiously, seeing the little girl's obvious disappointment.

Why did you want to go to Yongzhou Prefecture?

"Didn't you say you were going to Yongzhou Prefecture?" Banxia was taken aback and subconsciously retorted.

When she looked up and met Lian Chengmo's earnestly searching eyes, she was speechless.

Strange, why is this old-fashioned guy looking at her like that?

"Well, I've heard people mention Yongzhou before. I heard it's close to the sea, so I wanted to see what the sea is like." Banxia wiped her face again and made up an excuse.

What's there to see in the ocean? She wants to see seafood.

I didn't eat much good food when I was a child. I was able to earn some pocket money to eat a good meal after I got into university, and then the apocalypse came.

Although Banxia won't starve while working on planting at the base, it's impossible for her to eat well.

Oh, her seafood! Big lobster and king crab!

Someone completely forgot that even if you could go to sea in this era, it would be very difficult to catch seafood like king crabs that live in the deep sea.

"The sea is naturally boundless, stretching as far as the eye can see." Speaking of the sea, Lian Chengmo thought of the sea he had passed by while doing some errands and subconsciously commented.

"Lian Chengmo, have you ever seen the sea?" Banxia handed the handkerchief back to Lian Chengmo and asked casually after hearing his words.

"Yes, I saw it when I was a child, traveling around with my father." Lian Chengmo was caught off guard by the question and made up a lie on the spot.

He spent most of his childhood in Yuncheng or with his grandfather. Although he traveled to many places with his father, he never went to the seaside.

However, Lian Chengmo saw the little girl nod and go back to her work; she would never know when she had seen the sea.

The two worked together, one serving the porridge and letting it cool, the other calling the little ones to get up, wash, and prepare for breakfast, as if their previous conversation had been just a casual remark.

But only Lian Chengmo knew that he kept it in his heart.

Xiao Shuang'er was overjoyed to see her older brother return when she woke up. She didn't cling to Banxia, ​​who usually loved to be with her, and insisted on being held and fed porridge by Lian Chengmo.

The little girl is usually very sensible, and even after not seeing her for a few days, Lian Chengmo is willing to spoil her.

Lian Chengyu and Qi Changshan already knew that Lian Chengmo was coming back, so they weren't too surprised. However, Qi Juanbai was very happy to see Brother Mo back and chattered around him about their "great achievements" in helping the children in the group recite their lessons these past few days.

"You are all good. Reading makes one wise and sensible. You have done a good job." Lian Chengmo nodded repeatedly, praising the little ones.

He never expected that after he was gone for a few days, his younger children would become friends with the village children and even teach them to read and write.

Thinking about his future plans, Lian Chengmo felt that this was a good thing, as it would bring the two of them closer together.

After breakfast, the two older children took charge of washing the pots and dishes, while Lian Chengmo held Xiao Shuang'er and told Banxia about the trip.

After briefly explaining, he continued with what he hadn't finished saying earlier.

"The plan needs to be changed for now. I have reached an agreement with Yao Lizheng that we will not go to Yongzhou for the time being, but will go to the barbarian lands to hide for a while."

"We'll settle down in Yongzhou once the fighting outside has subsided," Lian Chengmo said calmly.

Banxia had no objections after hearing the plan, but she was a little surprised.

She didn't know Lian Chengmo's identity before, but now she was a little confused.

"Lian Chengmo, why don't you go back to your clan?"

"Didn't you say that your family is a prominent clan in Huayang Prefecture?"

"Wouldn't it be better for you to go back to your clan and have people protecting you than to wander around like this?" Banxia asked, not understanding.

In fact, she wanted to ask Lian Chengmo about his identity as soon as she learned about it, but she just didn't have a good opportunity.

Upon hearing the little girl's question, Lian Chengmo thought of those hypocritical people in his clan who were constantly trying to trip him up.

Protect him? Ha, they probably wish he were dead out there.

Is it because he might be the only one in a hundred years that the Liancheng family produces, the son of the Qilin?

How could those people possibly allow a descendant with extraordinary talent to emerge from a collateral branch?

That's why he was constantly suppressed and targeted by his loyal followers, and even caused A-Yu's death!

"Banxia, ​​the Liancheng family has many members and complex strengths. My grandfather is not highly regarded in the clan. It might not be good for me to go back." Liancheng Mo thought for a while before explaining.

He wasn't sure if the little girl understood, and just as he was about to explain it to her in more detail, she suddenly nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood, and then urged him to go into the tent to rest.

Seeing that the little girl was no longer confused, Lian Chengmo was indeed very tired. Although he had been sitting on the oxcart, he dared not close his eyes while traveling at night.

So Lian Chengmo put Xiao Shuang'er down and went back to catch up on his sleep.

Banxia dismissed the old-fashioned boy, had the two younger ones recite the Three Character Classic to her, and then took out the salted fish that she had processed yesterday to dry in the sun.

Although she said she only wanted a few yellow catfish and a firehead fish, Yao Lizheng was not about to let her suffer a loss, so he sent over several more fish of different sizes.

As Banxia dried the salted fish, she thought about Xiao Guban's words, and finally shook her head and sighed.

Sigh, I wonder what kind of monsters the Liancheng family are. They've scared the old-fashioned guy so much that he'd rather be out there than go back.

However, Banxia herself grew up in an orphanage, so she could understand Lian Chengmo's thoughts.

All his direct relatives have died, and if he goes back, he will definitely have to live under someone else's roof. He will be looked down upon and his life will be miserable. It would be better not to go back in the first place.

Isn't it better to set up your own business and be in charge of your own affairs?

Thinking about this, Banxia felt that it was actually quite good that she didn't have any elders after she transmigrated.

Otherwise, wouldn't she, a girl, have to listen to her family in everything?

The thought of the dictates of parents in ancient times made Banxia numb. She made up her mind that once she settled down, she would definitely establish a female household.

As for my two younger brothers, well, they can stay with her for now. Once she's raised them and found them wives, they can be separated from her.

Sigh, thinking about it this way, I still have to save up for my brothers' wives and build houses. The eldest sister is truly like a mother.

Banxia sighed, feeling that her life had only just begun anew, and it was already so difficult.

However, her special ability allows her to grow things with various effects, so Banxia is not afraid of not making money. Her current predicament is how to survive natural disasters and avoid war.

Lian Chengmo is right. They'd better hide first. Even if Prince Qi is kind, it's hard to say that Yongzhou Prefecture won't descend into chaos or conscript soldiers.

Yao Licun was the bodyguard she had her eye on, how could he be conscripted into the army?

Thinking this, Banxia looked around again. Because Yao Dahe and the others had returned, everyone in the household was up and eating breakfast.

Several teenagers were already tidying up their fishing nets, preparing to continue fishing later.
