Chapter 5
Xu Banxia smiled and did not speak.

"Auntie has something else to do, so let's go first."

"Auntie, go slowly."

As soon as Mrs. Li left, Xu Banxia went to take the live mouse to the kitchen.

The mice were fed the mushrooms that Mrs. Li had sent, and after a while, the mice died with white foam spitting out of their mouths.

Ban Xia threw the mouse beside the mushroom, and threw the bitten part of the mouse near its mouth.

After an hour passed, Xu Banxia pretended to go to the kitchen, then hurried out to the second bedroom.

"Auntie, Auntie is not well, come and take a look!"

Mrs. Li, who had just brought water home, heard Xu Banxia's voice, put down her pole and asked, "What's wrong with Banxia, ​​why did you come to me in such a panic?"

Xu Banxia didn't say anything specific, and stepped forward to pull Li Shi. "Auntie, why don't you follow me to my house."

Li followed Xu Banxia to the kitchen.

"Auntie, look quickly, that mouse is dead."

Mrs. Li looked in the direction of Pinellia's finger, and saw the dead mouse beside the mushroom foaming at the mouth.

At this scene, Li's eyes widened in shock, and he covered his mouth and couldn't believe what he saw.

The mouse ate the mushrooms and died... died.

It was she who picked that mushroom with her own hands and sent it to Da Fang.

She couldn't imagine that if Dafang and they ate that mushroom, their lives would surely die.

Mrs. Li quickly came back to her senses, afraid that Xu Banxia might misunderstand, so she continued to explain. "Ban Xia, my aunt doesn't know that the mushroom is poisonous and cannot be eaten, and it was not intentionally sent to harm you, she doesn't even know about your grandma.

If your grandma and I knew that the mushroom was not edible, we would never have sent it. "

"Banxia, ​​you have to trust auntie, auntie and your grandma have no intention of harming you."

The Wei family was originally married to the old man Liu, if Banxia thought that the stepmother didn't like their family and asked her to send poisonous mushrooms, then the villagers would definitely say that the stepmother didn't like Liu Dashan.

Seeing that Xu Banxia didn't speak, Li was anxious and panicked. "Ban Xia, your grandma and I didn't intend to harm you, you have to trust your aunt."

Just when Li Shi was about to cry, Xu Banxia spoke out. "Auntie, I believe in you."

Hearing this, Li breathed a sigh of relief. "Just believe it, just believe it, it's impossible for your aunt and your grandma to harm you."

"I know that uncle, aunt, and grandma are very kind to us. If we have anything, we will ask aunt to give some to our eldest room. It is impossible to harm us."

Li Shi was a little excited. "Ban Xia is sensible."

In the end, Mrs. Li took the mushrooms sent to Dafang and the mushrooms at home and threw them away.

Xu Banxia dealt with the dead mouse on the ground.

After throwing the mushrooms and returning home, Mrs. Li explained the situation to her mother-in-law Mrs. Wei so that Mrs. Wei would not think too much.

After hearing what Li said, Wei Shi was afraid for a while.

Fortunately, the mushroom was eaten by the mouse, otherwise, if the whole family ate it, the consequences would be disastrous.

The matter of poisonous mushrooms is over, and the big stone in Xu Banxia's heart has fallen.

Soon, the sun went down.

Liu Dashan and Qin Shi have also returned from working in the field.

Xu Banxia saw them as soon as he prepared dinner and put it on the table.

"Father, wash your hands and eat."

The meals are the same as those eaten in the morning, and the family eats very well.

After the meal, Xu Banxia digested food in the yard.

There were no lamps in ancient times, and kerosene lamps were generally lit in peasant households.

But every night, it can't stand the consumption.

Therefore, they seldom lighted kerosene lamps, and went back to their rooms to sleep not long after dark.

Fortunately, the moonlight is good tonight, the stars are shining, and the moon shines on the yard. You can sit in the yard and enjoy the moon.

Neither Liu Dashan nor the Qin family was in a hurry to rest today, the whole family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

Liu Wenxiu sat next to Xu Banxia, ​​looking up at the night sky.

Listening to the chirping of insects around, watching the fireflies not far away, and the cool wind blowing, Xu Banxia enjoyed it very much.

In modern times, people are busy with work and sleep late on weekends, and the air in the city is not so good.

Although life at home is not very good, it is only temporary.

After sitting in the yard for about a quarter of an hour, the family went back to their rooms to rest.

Today it was early dawn, Liu Dashan and Qin shi got up and went down to the ground.

And Liu Wenxiu also got up early, practicing writing on the mud floor with a branch.

Xu Banxia walked over to take a look, and praised: "Wenxiu's handwriting is beautiful."

Liu Wenxiu, who was praised, was very happy. "My mother taught me well."

Xu Banxia knew that the Qin family used to be the daughter of a wealthy family and could read and write.It's just that later, the family's fortunes fell, and the family encountered bandits when they fled. Qin's parents escaped to protect her and died at the hands of the bandits.

Qin Shi fled to the mountains alone and got lost and was rescued by Liu Dashan. Later, the two looked at each other, and Qin Shi married Liu Dashan.

Qin was born extremely beautiful, but when he arrived in Taohua Village, he was missed by many people.

Even if she married Liu Dashan later, some people still miss her.

Xu Banxia carried the basket on his back and planned to dig some herbs and wild vegetables on the mountain, so he said to Liu Wenxiu: "You look at home, I'll go dig some wild vegetables on the mountain."

Liu Wenxiu dropped the branch, saying that he would go too.

Xu Banxia refused immediately. "No, the mountain is too dangerous, you stay at home."

"Xiaxia, it's because of the danger on the mountain that I want to follow you. My mother said, I'm a man, and I have to protect my daughter-in-law. My mother said that Xiaxia is my child bride, and I have to protect it myself."

These words warmed Ban Xia's heart. She was obviously not as tall as her, so she wanted to protect her.

Moreover, Liu Wenxiu was only ten years old, she really couldn't treat him as her husband, after she transmigrated into Xu Banxia, ​​she always treated him as her younger brother.

In the end, Liu Wenxiu couldn't hold back, so Xu Banxia took him with him.

When passing through the field, Xu Banxia talked to Qin Shi, and Liu Dashan told them not to go deep into the forest and be careful on the road.

Xu Banxia nodded obediently, and led Liu Wenxiu to the mountain.

She is going to the mountain today to find some herbs to plant in the space.

Then irrigate with spring water, and exchange herbs for money when I go to the market with my father next time.

Xu Banxia took Liu Wenxiu into the surrounding area of ​​the forest.

The two walked around for a while, but found nothing.

Ban Xia planned to go deeper into the forest, but was stopped by Liu Wenxiu.

"Xiaxia, daddy told us not to let us go into the depths of the forest, it's too dangerous inside."

Hearing this, Xu Banxia suddenly regretted bringing Liu Wenxiu here.

"Wenxiu, I'm not going to the deep forest, but just wandering outside the deep forest, there will be no danger."

Liu Wenxiu was successfully fooled by Xu Banxia and nodded. "Okay then, let's go around outside a little bit, and we must not go into the depths."

"Okay." Xu Banxia walked ahead to open the way and continued to go deeper, Liu Wenxiu followed behind.
