She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Sure enough, around 11 p.m., Wu cried out in surprise. Her father-in-law, Qi Sanshui, woke up first, and soon after, Qi Lei was also awakened.

Well, everything was done in one go. Banxia brought the fish soup and porridge into the tent. Fortunately, although the two were injured and old, they didn't need to be fed.

The two were relieved to find their family safe and sound when they woke up. After hearing Wu's explanation, they carefully finished the food that Banxia had left for them, licking the bowl clean and leaving nothing behind.

About fifteen minutes later, Banxia gave the two of them the medicine. Perhaps due to the effects of the medicine, the two of them were awake for only half an hour before falling asleep again.

Now, the Qi Yun brothers, who had been waiting by the side for their father and grandfather to wake up, were finally relieved and lay down in the tent where the Lian Cheng siblings used to sleep.

After Lian Chengmo took away his own bedding, Banxia brought over the tattered bedding from her third grandfather's house and laid it on top of him.

"Sixth Aunt, you've had a long day. Go get some sleep. I'll stay here and watch over things. You can relieve me later tonight." Banxia urged Wu Shi to rest as soon as her two younger cousins ​​were asleep.

"How can that be? I'll stay here and you go and rest." Of course, Madam Wu refused. She had already received so much kindness from Banxia, ​​how could she let her take care of her husband and father-in-law?

"Sixth Aunt, just listen to me and go rest first. I'm not going to stay up all night. I'll call you to relieve me in the middle of the night."

"Besides, you'll be traveling with the group tomorrow. I have an oxcart to ride in, so I can catch up on some sleep." Banxia said, pushing Wu Shi towards her two cousins.

In the end, Wu was persuaded by Banxia and repeatedly told her to wake her up before she went to rest.

Around 2 or 3 a.m., Qi Sanshui was fine, but Qi Lei developed a high fever.

Banxia touched his head every now and then, and soon realized something was wrong. She quickly brought some boiled water that had been prepared earlier and began to apply it to his forehead.

Then they used a linen cloth dampened with water to wipe Qi Lei's palms, soles, and armpits, going through quite a bit of trouble.

The commotion was a bit loud, and Wu woke up without being called. Seeing her cousin taking such good care of her husband, she was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

After carefully learning the methods to lower the fever from Banxia, ​​Qi Lei urged Banxia to rest once his fever had subsided.

Seeing that Wu had dark circles under her eyes and looked determined but on the verge of tears, Banxia had no choice but to comply.

Oh my god, she's already a bit socially anxious and terrified of people crying, so she quickly slipped away.

She slipped into the tent next door, tiptoed over to her two younger brothers, lay down, and immediately hugged one of them as a pillow, falling asleep in a second.

In the darkness, in another corner of the tent, Lian Chengmo opened his eyes and slightly raised his upper body, his clear black and white eyes looking at the little girl on the other side.

What a kind young girl! She took such good care of him before, and now she's even more attentive to her family.

After a while, Lian Chengmo lay back down, turned over and hugged his cousin Lian Chengyu and sister Xiao Shuang'er in his arms. He smiled contentedly and gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, everyone woke up and began preparing to continue their journey. Lian Chengmo also went to Yao Lizheng to explain how the five people had been dealt with.

To be honest, some of those people yesterday were seriously injured. Doctor Li just gave them some herbs to stop the bleeding themselves, and by the end of the night, they were all extremely weak, which saved him a lot of trouble.

However, no matter how weak he was, he still had to work. Yao Lizheng was very enthusiastic about it, as he was worried about not having enough manpower. The young master's method was a timely help.

After throwing some wild vegetables to the group to tide them over, Yao, the village head, then arranged for them to push the cart.

Of course, he wasn't entirely comfortable handing over the truck loaded with supplies to them like that, and he was also quite worried about the five of them. So he rearranged the group, with three going in front and two going behind.

In this way, not only would it be impossible for five people to get together and cause trouble, but if they didn't want to obey, the villagers' sticks wouldn't be just for show.

Then there's Banxia's third grandfather's family. Qi Sanshui is alright. After a night's rest, and with Banxia giving him a lot of jam-infused water early in the morning, he was able to get up and walk on his own with difficulty.

But Qi Lei couldn't do that; he could only be pushed around by others.

Fortunately, Banxia managed to get their wheelbarrow back. She put the light things like tents on the wheelbarrow and had Wu push it. She also made room on the oxcart for Qi Lei to sit down.

There's nothing we can do. In this situation, we're already lucky to have a place to sit without having to travel on our own. Expecting Qi Lei to lie down and recuperate is just a pipe dream.

Ms. Wu hesitated several times before finally swallowing her words.

She wanted her husband to lie on the wheelbarrow and push him around like before, but firstly, after all the trouble her father-in-law had gone through, he could no longer take over pushing the wheelbarrow with her.

On her own, Wu couldn't possibly push Qi Lei around all day; that would definitely hold Yao Li Village back.

And what if she didn't push the car properly and Qi Lei fell? Wouldn't that make the injury worse?

So, in the end, Wu said nothing, gritted her teeth, put Qi Gu on the wheelbarrow and pushed it, trying her best to follow behind the oxcart.

Qi Yun was also very well-behaved, always supporting his grandfather Qi Sanshui as they walked alongside his mother, never uttering a sound of complaint throughout the day.

Yao Li Village traveled very quickly, and by the end of the day, the Qi family was exhausted.

Banxia did exactly as she was told. After getting ready in the morning, she leaned against the oxcart and went to catch up on her sleep.

After the midday break, she took over the ox whip and replaced Lian Chengmo as the driver.

Although Banxia felt sorry for Wu Shi, a woman, having to push a cart, there were other women like her in Yao Li Village, and she also had two younger brothers to take care of.

Throughout the day, Banxia did not intervene to help Wu.

She also wanted to see if Mrs. Wu would harbor resentment because of this.

After traveling for several more days, Banxia was very satisfied with Wu's performance.

The ancients were right, my mother is truly a superwoman!

In the past few days, Wu has gradually adapted to the pace of travel in Yao Village. She is most enthusiastic about setting up camp at night and packing up at dawn.

Every evening, while Banxia and Lianchengmo were cooking, they would go with the women from Yaoli Village to look for wild vegetables and other food in the surrounding area.

They handed over all the food they found to Banxia for distribution, and never even looked at what food was on Banxia's oxcart. Every day when Banxia distributed food to their family, Banxia would have tears in her eyes and say thank you repeatedly.

Wu knew that the little food she found was nowhere near as good as the food Banxia had given her.

Although, apart from the first day, Banxia ate a mixture of coarse and refined grains, she was afraid that the grain that Lian Chengmo bought would not last.

So apart from the Liancheng siblings who ate refined grains, the three siblings and Qi Sanshui's family all ate mixed grains.

Lian Chengmo frowned slightly at this, but ultimately said nothing.
