She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

As Wu thought about these things, she became increasingly distressed, and her crying grew louder.

When Qi Sanshui came looking for the sound, he saw this scene.

Wu held Banxia in her arms, writhing in anguish, while five burly men lay at their feet, groaning in pain.

Behind the five burly men stood a dozen or so men and a ten-year-old boy, who watched silently as the two women, Wu and her husband, embraced and wept.

"..." Qi Sanshui's hand, which was holding a stick, stiffened for a moment. What was going on?

But in an instant, he realized that Banxia had met a helper.

"Banxia, ​​Qiuniang, are you alright? Are you hurt?" The old woman put down her cane and used it as a crutch, limping as she quickly ran over.

Lian Chengmo frowned slightly as he looked at the old man with a bruised and swollen face.

"Brother Dahe, could you send someone to fetch Doctor Li?" Lian Chengmo whispered to Yao Dahe beside him.

Yao Dahe glanced at the pitiful Qi Sanshui and the blood-covered Wu Shi and guessed what was going on. He nodded and went back to the camp to call for Doctor Li.

"Third Grandfather, I'm fine. Why did you come all this way? Come on, sit down and rest so I can take a look at your injuries." Banxia peeked out and saw Qi Sanshui. Startled, she rushed to help him up.

Qi Sanshui had rushed over on his last breath, and the moment he saw Banxia jumping around, he relaxed and fell forward.

"Father!" Madam Wu turned around and saw this scene, and screamed in fright!

No sooner said than done, Banxia rushed over like the wind, and just as the old man was halfway down, she grabbed him by the armpits with both hands and pulled him up with a forceful push.

Qi Sanshui's injuries were quite severe; Banxia didn't even want to think about what would happen if he fell again.

"Phew, Banxia, ​​I'm so glad you're alright. Your sixth uncle, go find someone to check on your sixth..." The old man finished speaking, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Third Grandpa? Third Grandpa, don't scare me." Banxia was terrified when she felt the old man's body go limp.

She gently helped the person to the ground, and Banxia quickly took out a piece of ginseng from her bosom, pried open the old man's mouth, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Banxia, ​​quick, let Doctor Li take a look." Lian Chengmo said to Banxia, ​​pulling Doctor Li who had rushed over.

"Doctor Li, please, please save my third grandfather." Banxia pleaded, her voice involuntarily trembling with tears.

She clearly told her third grandfather not to move; he must have been worried about her, which is why he dragged his badly injured body to come after her.

"Don't worry, girl, I will do my best," Doctor Li said quickly, and then began to take the old woman's pulse.

Wu was also extremely anxious. Why had her father-in-law come along? What if something bad happened to him?

Fortunately, Qi Sanshui's current condition was easy to see, and Doctor Li quickly came to a conclusion.

"He suffered multiple injuries and was deficient in qi and blood. He fainted because of extreme joy and sorrow that caused him to be overwhelmed by anger."

"Fortunately, he was in good physical condition before, otherwise he wouldn't have made it this far."

"Don't worry, Banxia, ​​as long as the patient rests well, there's nothing to worry about with his life," Doctor Li concluded.

After hearing this, Banxia and Wu were both relieved. The Qi family had a doctor who was well-versed in health preservation, and Qi Sanshui, who used to be the village chief, was indeed in very good health.

If it weren't for this natural disaster, he could still work in the fields like a young man even in his fifties.

Also, Banxia arrived in time. The injuries inflicted by the others were all superficial, the most serious being a kick to the shoulder, which would heal with some rest.

The more important thing right now is the three sons of my sixth uncle who were left behind.

Banxia quickly remembered this, and she asked her sixth aunt to follow the people of Yaoli Village to carry her third grandfather back to the camp, while she asked the Yao brothers to help pick him up.

Although Wu also wanted to pick up her husband's child, her father-in-law couldn't be left alone at the moment, and Banxia had help, so she had no choice but to go ahead first. She clasped her hands tightly together, hoping that her family would be safe.

Lian Chengmo silently instructed Yao Lizheng to tie up those people, and instead of going with them, he returned to the camp to comfort the younger ones.

What he had just witnessed terrified him. Just fifteen minutes earlier, Banxia had suddenly run back screaming for help.

Out of some sense of shame, Banxia walked quite far when she went out to relieve herself; otherwise, she wouldn't have walked all the way through the woods and ended up near Qi Sanshui's family, who were camping and resting ahead.

The five muscular men, armed and on guard, made it impossible for her to hit them with her crossbow bolts after her sneak attack.

Banxia felt that although she was very strong, her mediocre skills were no match for the opponent.

After drawing all of the enemy's fire, he led his men towards the direction of Yao Li Village's encampment, shouting for help as he ran.

Sure enough, upon hearing her voice, Lian Chengmo brought more than a dozen strong men to provide support, and they knocked the five men to the ground in one fell swoop.

The three who were already injured had no chance to fight back and were beaten half to death, unable to even get up.

Just as Banxia was about to go back to find her third grandfather and the others, Wu ran over with a kitchen knife in her hand, and then came the events described above.

Banxia led the Yao brothers and ran very fast, and soon found Qi Lei struggling to climb on the ground. Beside him was Qi Yun, who was holding his three-year-old brother Qi Gu.

Qi Lei also came to a realization not long after his father ran away. The world had become like this, and even if he died, he wanted to be with Qiu Niang, so that the whole family could be together.

Therefore, Qi Lei was determined to die and planned to fight those men to the death.

"Banxia, ​​are you... are you alright?" Qi Lei was crawling when he suddenly heard someone in front of him call his sixth uncle. He looked up and was a little confused.

"Sixth Uncle, I'm fine. Third Grandfather and Sixth Aunt are both fine. Please don't move." Banxia's eyes widened, and she felt her heart leap into her throat.

As Qi Lei crawled on the ground, a long trail of blood appeared behind him, staining the ground, soil, weeds, and even withered branches and leaves with blood.

Without a doubt, it must be that his wound reopened or that his leg was cut and bleeding.

Qi Lei, who was following closely beside him, did want to help his father, but Qi Lei wouldn't allow him to, and only let him carry his younger brother and follow along.

At that moment, he also saw Banxia and the others, and his face lit up with surprise as he hugged his younger brother and ran forward a few steps.

"Sister Banxia, ​​it's Sister Banxia!" Qi Yun was overjoyed. He, like his parents, had thought that his cousin Banxia was probably dead.

"Brother Dahe, can you help me carry my sixth uncle? Let's hurry back and have Doctor Li take a look." Banxia quickly ran to Qi Lei's side, but seeing Qi Lei's miserable state, she was at a loss and asked for help.

Although Banxia is strong, she is small. Although she can carry Qi Lei on her back, Qi Lei's legs will definitely drag on the ground, which will only make things worse.
