Chapter 356 Just Want to Be Good to Her
Qin Chuchu also looked at Xiaoshan, and she thought the same thing as Feng Qi. He was so thin that he was staggering. He couldn't do any work, and even if he did, he couldn't do much.
There was no loss for him to run away from the quarry, but there was one less person to eat. He really couldn't understand why those people were chasing him.
Seeing them ask this, Xiaoshan's face flashed with pain, but he still told them what had happened.
"Two days ago, when I went to the toilet, I overheard their conversation. They said that our group of people were too thin and could not do much work. It would be a waste of food to keep them.
They planned to deal with all of us and then get a new group. I didn't want to die, so I secretly killed a guard and escaped.
The reason those people were chasing me was because the man I killed was the leader’s brother, so they wanted to take me back.”
“…………”Everyone looked at each other.
They all looked at Xiaoshan at the same time. How could he kill someone even though he was so thin? This would only happen if he was pushed to a certain extent.
How could he have so much strength when he was staggering even when walking?
"Are all the people there as thin as you?" Qin Chuchu looked at him with heartache.
Logically speaking, the work in a quarry should be quite hard. Even if it is to increase production, at least they have to be fed, otherwise they will not have the energy to work.
But this kid is so thin, it seems like he hasn't eaten for a long time.
After hearing her words, the young man frowned even more.
"Yeah, it's about the same. Food is scarce right now. We only get one black-faced steamed bun every three days."
"Three days!" Qin Chuchu looked incredulous.
Staring straight at the young man in front of me, no wonder he is so thin.
Not to mention eating one steamed bun every three days, she couldn't even have one steamed bun for one meal. You can imagine how he managed to survive.
Looking at the bones in his hands, my nose felt a little sore and my heart ached as if it was stabbed by something.
The others also felt uncomfortable after hearing this, especially Han Muchen who was sitting in the carriage, whose brows were furrowed.
I didn't expect that Han Mulei was so vicious and cruel to the people.
The fists of the others also clenched uncontrollably.
I have seen people with evil hearts, but I have never seen anyone as evil as Han Mulei.
They are reluctant to even give up their food, and their own master is still the best. Not only do they have enough food to eat every day, but the food is also good. They feel more and more how happy their life is.
The convoy was driving fast. Qin Chuchu leaned against the door. Although her head was dizzy, she kept chatting with Xiaoshan.
The more I talked about it, the more depressed I felt. It was a real relief to understand the living conditions of the people outside.
The originally cheerful atmosphere became dull, especially for Han Muchen, whose brows were furrowed as he listened.
Although I knew that the people had a hard time, I never thought that they had reached such a miserable state.
If it weren't for the two cakes, they wouldn't have been tricked into going to the quarry and living in darkness.
To put it bluntly, it's all because of hunger. If there is enough food at home, who would do such heavy work for two pieces of bread?
By the time they got home, it was already dark.
"Aunt Liu, please quickly prepare something nourishing for Xiaoshan's stomach."
As soon as she got home, Qin Chuchu ran to the kitchen tent.
In Xiaoshan's current physical condition, he can't eat random food, so he thought of asking Aunt Liu to prepare something easily digestible for him.
"Wang... Oh, okay."
Just as Aunt Liu was about to ask something, she saw Xiaoshan following behind her. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she immediately understood.
I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen such a thin child. If you don’t look closely, you would think he is just a skeleton.
Seeing that he might faint at any time, Aunt Liu did not hesitate and hurried to cook millet porridge and steamed an egg custard for him.
"Uncle Liu, have someone get him some water so he can take a bath, and find him a change of clothes."
Qin Chuchu looked at Butler Liu again.
"Yes, I will go right away."
Butler Liu glanced at Xiaoshan, his eyes clearly showing a hint of shock, but he quickly went out to call for help.
Looking at the princess's instructions, Xiaoshan seemed a little embarrassed.
When Qin Chuchu turned around, she saw that he looked uneasy, so she patted his shoulder and comforted him:
"Don't be afraid, the people here are very nice. Take a shower and change your clothes first. The food will be ready soon."
She comforted him softly, and as she watched, her eyes turned red again and she felt very uncomfortable.
He is too thin!
Hearing the princess' concerned words and her worried look, Xiaoshan felt inexplicably relieved and responded obediently.
"Um."
Soon, Butler Liu asked someone to prepare hot water, and two strong young men came to take him out.
As soon as Qin Chuchu returned to the tent, she went into the bedroom. Under the cover of the large wardrobe, she took out several boxes of blood-replenishing oral liquid from the space.
Xiaoshan's health is so poor that food alone won't be enough to nourish him. He needs to drink some supplements so that he can recover faster.
Seeing that the stupid woman was about to run out again, Han Muchen grabbed her.
"My beloved!"
"Hmm?" Qin Chuchu turned around.
She stared at the man, seeing his frown, it seemed like he had something to say to her.
She guessed it right. The man pulled her back to the chaise longue.
"My beloved, I have something to tell you."
The man looked at her seriously. He had originally planned to talk about it tomorrow, but now he couldn't wait any longer.
"Oh, okay, I'll listen to you when I get back."
Qin Chuchu nodded. Seeing the man's serious expression, it seemed that what he was talking about was very important.
Combined with what happened during the day, she had probably guessed it, but she was busy at the moment and had no time to listen to this.
Before the man could say anything, Qin Chuchu ran out with the supplements.
When they arrived at Feng Qi and his friends' tent, Xiaoshan not only took a shower, but also changed into clean clothes.
"Yeah, not bad."
Qin Chuchu nodded in satisfaction. Although he still looked so thin, at least he looked like a human being now. She handed over the oral liquid in her hand.
"Keep this for now. Remember to drink one every morning, noon and night. If you stick to it, you will gain weight."
"…………" Xiaoshan.
He looked at the thing handed to him by the princess, feeling both curious and moved. He never expected that the princess would not only not despise him, a person of such low status, but also give him something.
Seeing that the boy was in a daze, Qin Chuchu stuffed the oral liquid into his mouth.
"Take it! I still have more when you've finished it!"
As she spoke, she rubbed his wet hair again, and her nose felt a little sore again.
Even she herself couldn't understand why she was so emotional. She just wanted to be good to him and protect him.
“…………” Xiaoshan was also very excited.
He looked at Qin Chuchu in front of him with tears in his eyes, his lips trembling. Just as he was about to speak, the door of the tent opened.
"Xiaoshan! The rice porridge is ready!"
