She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

"Uncle Village Head, let me think about it. I'll give you an answer tomorrow," Banxia said coldly after glancing at the group of people.

After that, she went to see Doctor Li. As the village doctor, Doctor Li was never short of food. No matter what, the villagers would always prioritize protecting her family. After all, no one can guarantee that they won't get sick.

Especially since this was on a treacherous journey of fleeing famine.

Therefore, Banxia gave the other party two slices of ginseng as payment for the consultation, as she couldn't let the other party work for nothing. When Doctor Li treated Qi Lei, he also used quite a few herbs.

Don't underestimate these two ginseng slices; they've been enhanced by Banxia's supernatural abilities, so their effects are naturally much better than ordinary ginseng.

When they returned, Lian Chengmo and Wu Shi had almost finished eating, so Banxia took the rest of the food and ate it all in one pot.

Wu was astonished by Banxia's appetite; she had never known that Banxia could eat so much.

"Hehe, Aunt Liu doesn't know, I'm naturally strong and eat a lot." Banxia noticed Wu's shocked look and chuckled as she explained.

"Being able to eat well is a blessing." Mrs. Wu nodded absentmindedly, then prepared to clear the dishes.

"Sixth Aunt, don't worry about these things. Let Changshan and the others take care of them. You go and watch over Third Grandfather and Sixth Uncle. If they get a fever, come and call for help immediately." Banxia stopped her and sent her away.

Seeing this, Lian Chengmo paused and sat back down some distance away. Sure enough, the little girl had something to discuss with him.

“What’s so difficult about that? Just drag them into the mountains and kill them.” Lian Chengmo said casually when he heard that it was about those five people.

He had killed at least eighty or a hundred of those vicious and ruthless people, and Lian Chengmo didn't take them seriously at all.

That indifferent expression made it seem as if he were killing a few ants, not a few living people.

Banxia initially only arrested people instead of killing them directly, partly because she didn't know these people were so ruthless and had countless lives on their hands.

Secondly, there were too many people who witnessed it at the time. Although they were all disaster victims and it was uncertain whether they would encounter them again in the future, such a blatant killing would still have a negative impact.

After Yao Li Village, we still need to live a peaceful life. We can't let her get a bad reputation for being a ruthless killer.

Banxia was somewhat surprised to hear that Lian Chengmo had sentenced someone to death so easily.

Xiao Guban is only a ten-year-old child. Although he has killed people with his own hands before, he is, after all, a pampered son of an official. How could he be so adept at killing people?

Banxia hesitated as she looked at Lian Chengmo again and again, feeling that this old-fashioned man was somewhat different from when she first met him, but upon closer recall, it seemed that he had always been the same.

They think of everything in detail and make all the arrangements perfectly.

What exactly is wrong?

Banxia rubbed her hands together, almost scratching her head in deep thought.

However, before she could figure it out, Lian Chengmo spoke up again.

"Banxia, ​​do you have other ideas about them?" Lian Chengmo asked, frowning, when the girl remained silent.

In the extra memory, the little girl was a decisive and ruthless person. Whether it was taking revenge or later wiping out the bandit stronghold, she performed very well.

Lian Chengmo did not think that Banxia was a soft-hearted person who would not dare to kill, and it was even more impossible for her to sympathize with the bandits who had harmed her family.

Banxia finally snapped out of her daze when he asked her question, shaking off those strange feelings, and answered seriously.

“We have several seriously wounded soldiers in our team, and we’ve brought so many supplies. We not only have to take care of the wounded, but also protect the supplies. We don’t have enough manpower.”

"I think we should make use of these people and have them help push the cart. That way, we can free up a few more skilled people to protect everyone on the outside," Banxia said, directly stating her idea.

If it weren't for the fact that she was currently carrying several seriously wounded people, Banxia would definitely have killed those bandits without hesitation. Of course, she wouldn't have let them go once they reached a safe place either.

Banxia didn't expect that she wouldn't even need to lift a finger; evil people will be punished by heaven.

However, that's a matter for later. Right now, Lian Chengmo listened to Banxia's idea, thought about it for a moment, and felt it was feasible.

“That’s possible, but we’d still have to support them.” Lian Chengmo nodded slightly, thinking the little girl had used the phrase “making the best use of waste” very well.

After hearing Yao Daniu recount the crimes to him, those people were already dead in his eyes. Wasn't that just making use of trash?

The court also treated some criminals who were not deserving of the death penalty the same way, exiling them to the frontier to work until they died. This punished the criminals and also made them contribute to the court, achieving two goals at once.

However, the fact that these people had committed heinous crimes made Lian Chengmo, who was always upright, somewhat displeased.

"What's so difficult about that? What can't we eat from the grass roots and tree bark by the roadside? Let them get it themselves. Just send a few people to watch over them, as long as they don't starve." Banxia sneered. She wasn't that kind of saint.

Since she dared to use these people, how could Banxia possibly let them have an easy time?

"We'll do it your way. I'll talk to Yao Lizheng tomorrow." Lian Chengmo smiled slightly and took on the task.

Lian Chengmo would never let a young girl do something so cruel that it would damage her reputation.

"Okay, then thank you for making the trip. I'll go pitch another tent."

"By the way, I've told Aunt Liu not to use your beds yet. If you're free, go and move them out. I'll put Aunt Liu's and the others' mattresses inside in a bit, and we'll move to a new tent."

Banxia had no objection. After speaking, she got up and went to get busy, completely unaware of the slight upturn of the young man's lips behind her.

During this time together, Banxia had gotten used to Lian Chengmo handling all the social interactions. He was in charge of the overall survival strategy, while she took care of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation—each of which was something they were good at.

Fortunately, Lian Chengmo had bought some coarse cloth in Qingyang County beforehand, and Banxia really didn't want to use the bedding and sheets that Qi Sanshui's family had been exposed to the elements.

A simple tent was set up using only two relatively clean bed sheets. Banxia then went to exchange them with the villagers for two more mats, and the new tent was set up just like that.

By this time, the weather was gradually getting warmer, and at night, you didn't even need to cover yourself with anything. So Banxia only laid out a mattress in the tent and told the children to go to sleep quickly.

Although the little ones have a car to ride in, they are kind-hearted and will get off and walk around for a while so that other children can get on the car and rest.

She loved her own children dearly, so Banxia had them wash their hands, faces, and feet before stuffing them all into the tent.

Lian Chengmo also carried his own bedding into the tent to rest, mainly to put the children to sleep.

After sending all the little ones to sleep, Banxia started making pancakes and brewing herbal medicine at the same time, guessing that her third grandfather and sixth uncle should wake up soon.
