She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Lian Chengmo originally intended to save those coarse grains to exchange for some benefits with Yao Lizheng, but now that he had found the little girl's relatives, he might as well eat them.

It's just a pity that the little girl has to eat coarse grains too. Lian Chengmo can tell that Banxia really doesn't like eating coarse grains.

However, there was also something to be happy about these past few days: the wounds of several patients in Yaoli Village were almost completely healed, and even Li Dalang's wound, after the stitches were removed by Banxia, ​​had grown into a scar.

Even Physician Li was surprised by this. Was the speed at which Li Dalang's wound was healing normal?

However, after repeated examinations, he couldn't find anything wrong and could only attribute it to Li Dalang's good health, which was why the wound healed so quickly.

The person who knew the truth touched his nose and pretended not to know anything.

As Qi Lei's leg wound healed rapidly, Banxia realized that her jam was truly beneficial for patients, especially those with external injuries.

The loquat jam that Li Dalang drank before was made from loquats that were grown by Pinellia ternata, unlike melons, which are grown from seeds.

In comparison, melon jam definitely contains much more calories than loquat jam.

This suggests that foods containing more energy are more beneficial to the patient's condition.

Banxia also observed her own children with her third grandfather and Wu Shi.

Needless to say, their own children have eaten plenty of jam and melons and are in great health. Apart from being a bit tanned, they don't look like disaster victims at all.

Since Third Grandfather Qi Sanshui started drinking a sip of jam every morning and evening, his health has gradually improved, seemingly getting better day by day. Now, he doesn't even need to rest on the oxcart when traveling.

Only Wu was the one who couldn't keep up with the daily journey at first. By the time Banxia remembered to give her some jam, the jam she had saved was already gone.

Even so, after drinking jam all day, Ms. Wu felt much better and seemed less tired after a day of traveling.

Banxia saw all of this and was quite surprised by the comparison. It seemed that everything she had grown from the seeds was of good quality, and she would never give it to anyone to eat casually in the future.

Even my third grandfather's family can no longer be given away so easily.

At this point, Banxia had no intention of excluding someone as well.

That said, these past few days, the people of the third branch of the Qi family have been so happy that Qi Lei's injuries are gradually improving that they haven't even noticed that their own health is also improving.

Even if they noticed something, they only assumed it was because Banxia fed them well every day, which made them stronger.

Lian Chengmo noticed something was wrong, but he didn't focus his attention on Banxia directly. He just thought that the doctor from Yaoli Village was indeed very skilled.

Just when everything was going well, something unexpected happened.

That day, Yao Li Village set up camp as usual. The men cleared a large area to guard the perimeter, resting while keeping watch on their surroundings.

Although they had left most of the disaster victims behind after several days of travel, there were still quite a few around them.

The women and children protected inside were busy setting up camp. The children gathered firewood from all over the place, while the women started a fire to cook.

As for Banxia, ​​because Wu is so capable, all she has to do now is take out the grain, and Wu will take care of the rest.

Seeing Lian Chengmo leading the children to write and draw on the ground again, Banxia, ​​who had nothing to do, thought of wandering around.

These days, because of the abundance of food, Yao Lizheng no longer allows his people to replenish their food every three days. Instead, he focuses on traveling and finding a place to settle down as soon as possible.

Lian Chengmo and Banxia both agreed that this decision was excellent, which resulted in Banxia not going up the mountain for a long time.

After telling Lian Chengmo that she would be back soon, Banxia took a crossbow, a long sword, and a basket and headed up the hillside.

As we get closer to the south, the mountains we've been passing by have become noticeably taller, and the vegetation has naturally become more lush.

Banxia parted the grass and ventured into the forest. Before long, she found edible wild vegetables and even saw several kinds of herbs that she had learned from Li Lang.

Especially Panax notoginseng, this herb is extremely useful for their current situation, so Banxia squatted down and started digging without saying a word.

However, it wasn't long before Banxia's ears twitched. She seemed to have heard something, and her hand paused. She immediately became alert.

Banxia only ventured shallowly into the forest. The distance from the foot of the mountain was only a dozen meters. Logically, no animals should have come here.

However, just in case, Banxia still raised the crossbow in her right hand.

As the sound drew closer, Banxia's expression suddenly changed. It wasn't the footsteps of an animal, but the footsteps of a human.

Moreover, it was the kind of light, stealthy footsteps, as if afraid of being discovered.

If Banxia hadn't possessed extraordinary senses, she wouldn't have been able to tell at all.

They're moving so carefully and without making a sound, they're definitely not one of us. Banxia quietly moved to the side and lay down in the tall grass, completely hiding herself, then held her breath and waited for them to show themselves.

Sure enough, two men dressed as guards soon came into Banxia's sight.

"Boss, she's gone." One of them said anxiously when he saw Banxia's basket and tools left behind.

"What's the panic? That little brat must have heard the commotion and hidden herself. Our men are guarding the area down the mountain; she can't escape," the man called "leader" said coldly.

As he spoke, the man shouted something menacingly to those around him in a low voice.

"You brat, I know you're nearby. You'd better come out quietly, or when I catch you, I won't just rob your family of their grain." The man's face was full of impatience.

They were enjoying a comfortable life at their master's house when their master assigned them this task.

He'd been following these people for two days, but still hadn't found an opportunity to strike.

This time, he's determined to catch this little girl. Judging from that kid's demeanor, their relationship is anything but ordinary.

At that point, would he still be afraid that the kid wouldn't obediently comply?

As long as he completes the task assigned by his master, he will have made a great contribution when he returns. Then he will have no worries about getting promoted and making a fortune.

Thinking of this, the leader's face revealed an even more ferocious look.

Hiding in the shadows, Banxia sensed something strange. These people didn't look like refugees who would lack food and water at all.

But that leader keeps talking about robbing some grain, which is really strange.

However, it's best to get out of there for now.

It's clear that these two are not like the rabble we encountered before; they are skilled in martial arts.

So, Banxia seized the opportunity, swiftly fired a few hidden arrows, and without caring whether they hit anyone, ran down the mountain as fast as the wind.

She not only ran, but also shouted loudly as she ran.

"The conscription team is here! Lian Chengmo, save me!"

The sound traveled over and over again, reaching the ears of the people at the foot of the mountain.
