She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine
Chapter 8: Sprouting Brown Rice, and Supernatural Abilities Follow?
Seeing that Lian Chengyu seemed to be able to coax the little girl, Banxia waved to her two younger brothers.
"Changshan, Juanbai, come here."
The two brothers, who were still a little confused, looked over when they heard the sound. Juanbai even almost cried along with them. When they saw their eldest sister there, they immediately got up and went to Banxia's side.
"Look, your big sister has found some food. We'll have porridge to drink soon. Don't make a fuss, just wait patiently to eat, okay?" Banxia coaxed her two younger brothers, pointing to a handful of brown rice she had just put in the pot.
"Wow, big sister, it's rice!" Selaginella was immediately drawn to the delicious food, and almost buried her head in the pot to look.
Changshan was more sensible and quickly pulled his younger brother back to prevent him from accidentally knocking over the pot and spilling the brown rice.
only......
"Big sister, this brown rice seems to have sprouted." Changshan examined it carefully and picked up a grain of unhulled brown rice to show his older sister.
My dad used to say that rice should be stored properly, because if it sprouts, it can't be eaten.
That's why Changshan has this saying.
"It's sprouted? Let me see." Banxia was taken aback and reached out to take it.
She remembered seeing something similar when she took it out earlier. Although some of it wasn't completely hulled, it shouldn't be sprouted rice!
When Banxia took the rice from Changshan, she saw that it had indeed sprouted.
Tiny sprouts emerged from the rice husks. Although they were very small and the leaves had not yet unfolded, they had indeed sprouted.
"That shouldn't be!" Banxia was stunned, and then looked at the handful of brown rice she had just spilled in the pot.
Sure enough, those that hadn't shed their shells all sprouted.
Banxia was taken aback, and a guess began to spread in her mind.
So she immediately reached into the grain bag and pulled out a handful of brown rice to look at.
Among the handful of unhulled rice, the unhulled grains were completely intact, showing no signs of sprouting.
After scooping several more handfuls, Banxia finally confirmed that the unhulled brown rice had not sprouted.
That is......
Good heavens, did her mutated wood-type ability come along too?
Overjoyed, Banxia closed her eyes and gathered her strength. Feeling that familiar energy fluctuation, Banxia was almost moved to tears.
With so many things happening right after she transmigrated, Banxia had no time to think about her wood-type superpower, which had no offensive capabilities whatsoever!
I thought it was just a case of soul transference, but I didn't expect my superpowers to follow me too.
In an instant, Banxia looked at the ten-odd pounds of brown rice as if it were a treasure, and almost couldn't resist going up and kissing it twice.
Now, she no longer has to worry about how to help her two younger brothers survive in this chaotic world.
To put it bluntly, even if there was a war raging outside, she could always survive by leading her brothers to some remote corner in the mountains.
With that thought in mind, Banxia grabbed the handful of brown rice from the pot again and carefully picked out some of the sprouted grains.
"Big sister, let me help you." Changshan wanted to help when he saw this.
"Big sister, I can help too," Juanbai immediately raised her hand and said hastily.
"Then you guys help me pick out all the unhulled grains from this bag of grain. Unhulled grains don't taste good when cooked into porridge, and they also waste firewood."
"Just do it over there, eldest sister, go cook the porridge first." Banxia thought for a moment and then nodded.
Not only did they assign tasks to the two boys, they also found a plausible excuse.
Whether she used the rice to husk it or to plant it, only she knows.
"Don't worry, big sister, we can do it. Hurry up and cook the porridge, my second brother and I are starving." Juanbai immediately became enthusiastic.
The child was still too young. Although he was very sad to learn that his grandfather had passed away, he was also very hungry.
Lian Chengyu, who was comforting Lian Chengshuang, also looked over after hearing the conversation between the three siblings.
There was a clear longing in his eyes, he must have been hungry, but his little sister in his arms still needed him to soothe her, so he didn't come over to help.
She looked at the three siblings with some hesitation, wondering if there was any porridge for them in the porridge Banxia had cooked.
Even so, he sensibly refrained from asking further questions.
Banxia didn't notice Lian Chengyu's gaze, but she hadn't planned to leave out Lian Chengmo and his two siblings when she was cooking porridge.
Picking out the sprouted grains from the handful of brown rice in her hand, Banxia then grabbed a handful of sorted brown rice from her two younger brothers and put it into the pot.
Then, the water from both water bags was poured into the pot, and the small iron pot was placed on the fire to boil.
If it were before today, even if Banxia had transmigrated here, she would probably have felt sorry for the water, but now that it's pouring rain outside, she doesn't feel sorry at all.
When you're done using it, just go to the hole to refill it.
Seeing that the fire seemed to have shrunk considerably, Banxia threw in two more pieces of firewood.
A gust of wind blew in from the cave entrance and almost extinguished the fire.
Banxia was startled; she had worked hard to start the fire with a flint and steel, and she couldn't let it go out.
She got up and looked into the cave entrance. Then, she gritted her teeth and rushed out, carrying back the stones that she and Lian Chengmo had used to block the cave entrance.
He blocked most of the cave entrance again, leaving only a third of it open for ventilation, before turning around and squatting back inside the cave.
"Sister Banxia, come and warm yourself by the fire." Lian Chengyu called out to Banxia as she finally came in.
After coaxing Lian Chengshuang, Lian Chengyu returned and made the fire burn even brighter.
"Big sister, hurry up and change your wet clothes." Changshan also rummaged through the basket and pulled out the clothes that Banxia had taken from him, and said anxiously.
Selaginella also looked at Banxia with concern, just like her second brother.
Although the three of them were only four or five years old, they all knew that getting caught in the rain could easily cause them to catch a cold, and Banxia refused to help them just now because of this reason.
"Don't worry, I'll change right away." Banxia didn't even think about wearing wet clothes and reached out to take the set of shorts Changshan handed her.
Although I was a little disgusted by those stinky men, my life was more important; catching a cold in ancient times was no joke.
If the cave entrance hadn't been blocked, the fire would have gone out, and they definitely wouldn't have been able to eat porridge. Banxia didn't want to suffer like that.
However, looking at the group of little kids in the cave, she could tolerate Lian Cheng Shuang, but the rest were all male...
"Sister Banxia, I, I'll turn around." Lian Chengyu seemed to have thought of something and quickly ran to her cousin's side.
Not only did she turn around herself, but she also covered her unconscious cousin's eyes with her sleeve.
"Big sister, we won't look. Juanbai, turn your head away quickly. Big sister, hurry up and change your clothes." Qi Changshan seemed to understand the principle of men and women not touching each other. Even if it was his own big sister, he had to avoid suspicion.
"..." Banxia looked at herself, who was only nine years old and hadn't developed at all.
That glance she just gave was really just a subconscious reaction; with her small frame, there wasn't much to see.
