Chapter 142 Who Made Us Poor?
After hearing the shout, the exhausted Qin Chuchu opened her eyes and sat up again.
When she came in just now, it was almost dark and the shops in the market were about to close. How could there still be people selling candied haws so late at night?
She leaned over the car window and looked out, and saw a boy about ten years old carrying a candied haws stick that was twice as tall as him.
There are also two red candied haws stuck on it.
"Little brother, how much are these candied haws?"
Seeing someone wanted to buy candied haws, the little boy looked happy and came over with the pole in his hand with great effort.
"Two cents a piece, ma'am, would you like to buy one?"
The little boy's eyes were shining as he looked at Qin Chuchu eagerly.
If this pretty lady can buy one, there will be one left unsold.
It would be even better if I bought both. With the money from today's sales, I could almost make a cotton-padded jacket.
Qin Chuchu didn't know what the little boy was thinking, but she saw his bright eyes full of anticipation when he looked at her.
His thin clothes and emaciated appearance reminded her of the young men in the cave, and it was truly heartbreaking to see them.
"I want both of those!"
Qin Chuchu pointed at the two strings of candied haws and reached into her pocket to take out some silver.
She can afford to support 20,000 people, so helping this child is no problem.
"Okay!" The little boy's eyes lit up.
He quickly took down the remaining two strings of candied haws and handed them over through the car window.
But just as he reached out to take the silver, he was stunned.
"Ma'am, you gave me the wrong amount of money!"
He struggled to raise the change in his hand to Qin Chuchu. Two strings of candied haws only cost four copper coins, but this lady actually gave him more than seven taels of silver. How could he use so much?
Looking at the little boy's hands covered with frostbite, Qin Chuchu frowned in pain.
"I'll give it all to you. Remember to buy a warm coat!"
If this little child were in the previous life, he would be a little baby that his parents would hold in their mouths for fear of it melting, but now he has to make a living.
It's so pitiful. It's a pity that I only have this little change left, otherwise I would give him more.
The carriage was almost gone, but the little boy was still holding the change in his hand, staring blankly with his big watery eyes.
He moved his lips for a long time, but in the end, nothing came out.
Qin Chuchu put two strings of red candied haws on the table and lay down directly.
It’s not that I don’t like eating, it’s just that I’m too tired. I’m so tired that I can’t even open my eyelids.
If she paid a little attention at this moment, she would have noticed the burning gaze on her from the opposite side.
Han Muchen's eyes were full of doting, and his deep pupils were filled with tenderness.
His stupid woman was kind-hearted. Even though she was so tired that she could hardly open her eyelids, she still wanted to help the child.
When we were rushing back, it was already getting dark. After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, it was completely dark.
Qin Chuchu had already fallen asleep and was completely unaware of being held in the man's arms.
Han Muchen curiously touched her porcelain-white little face, his eyes full of heartache.
I'm so tired that I'm afraid I'll need a few days to recover, but fortunately my work was not in vain.
He looked out the car window with a deep gaze, and estimated that by now, the tents should have been set up and they should not have to stay in the cave tonight.
This is indeed the case. At this moment in the polar regions, not only have all the tents been set up.
The soldiers had also moved in. The red charcoal fire was burning in the stove, and the whole house was warm.
The soldiers were chatting and laughing while eating the braised meat with green beans in their bowls, with uncontrollable excitement on their faces.
Following the prince means a good life. Not only do you not have to drink porridge, but you can also eat rare food.
I don’t know where the princess bought these green beans, but they taste so delicious.
There are those who are happy and those who are depressed. At this moment, Liu Zhi is at a loss in the mansion.
How could there be so many refugees here?
Today he went to take a look specially. As soon as he saw those young and strong guys, he knew they were Han Muchen's men. But he really couldn't guess where those people came from.
He had sent people to investigate the area before, but did not find any Tibetans. He wrote to the Second Prince, but there was no news so far. He was really anxious.
When Han Muchen came back, the soldiers were unloading the last batch of goods. He carried Qin Chuchu off the carriage and went into the tent.
He came to the bedroom and gently put her down.
After not seeing his sister for a day, Feng Jiu's big mouth moved forward, and when he was about to lick Qin Chuchu, he was pushed back by the man.
Little Cannon rolled his eyes at the man, and after making sure that the dead woman was still alive, he twisted his butt and went back to his tent.
"Your Highness! Dinner is ready, and the princess..."
Aunt Liu took a look and saw the princess sleeping like a dead dog. She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't know if she could get up to eat.
"Yeah." Han Muchen responded softly.
Looking at Qin Chuchu in front of him, he thought it was impossible to wake her up.
He bent down to take off her shoes, helped her take off her outer cotton coat, and finally covered her with the quilt.
This series of seemingly ordinary actions made Aunt Liu who was standing by stunned.
“…………”
The prince actually serves others!
And looking at his skillful movements, it seems like he has done these things many times.
It was a little hard to believe. Was this still the prince who disliked women that she had seen growing up?
She looked at Qin Chuchu who was sleeping soundly on the bed and sighed in her heart.
The fact that the princess is treated like this by the prince shows how important she is in his heart.
Feeling that it would be inappropriate for her to leave immediately, Aunt Liu wisely withdrew.
Han Muchen stayed for a long time before going to the front hall to eat.
Seeing their master coming out, Feng Liu and Feng Qi came up to him with happy faces.
"Master, the princess has bought a lot of food today. She can eat until the New Year!"
Feng Qi’s mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
Their army of 100,000 people had never stored so many things. All twenty-one tents were filled. There would be no problem eating until the New Year, so they felt relieved.
"Yes, Master, this time the brothers won't have to worry about food and shelter!"
Feng Liu also echoed.
“………”Han Muchen didn’t say anything.
There was no relaxed expression on his face.
The food and clothing needs of these 20,000 people have been met, but the 80,000 people in the mountains are still suffering from hunger and cold.
I can't just rely on that woman's legs to move back bit by bit like today.
Seeing how tired she was, he felt very distressed and always felt like he was incompetent.
“…………” Feng Liu and Feng Qi looked at each other.
Looking at the sad expression on his master's face, he guessed what he was thinking.
Their eyes all turned towards the bedroom, each with a look of regret on their faces.
Today they were so tired that they couldn't even lift their legs, let alone the princess who was a weak woman, but there was really nothing they could do!
Who made us poor? The princess is so rich!
