Chapter 389: The power of numbers is the key
Looking at everything in front of her, Qin Chuchu's mind uncontrollably recalled the scene of those refugees who were determined to stay.
If they hadn't been here today, I would probably be playing chess with the King of Hell by now.
I used to think that having tens of thousands of people here was a lot, and I was thinking of sending some of them away when it’s not so busy in the future.
She could save a lot of money at that time, but after this incident, she realized it deeply.
The previous thinking was wrong. If we want to gain a foothold here and not be bullied by others, we must develop our own power.
This place is not like the peaceful times in the previous life. Having money alone is not enough. Only by making yourself strong will others not dare to bully you.
Therefore, numbers are the key. Take what happened just now as an example. If there were no refugees, I am afraid everything in the far north would have been ruined.
Although those refugees did not know martial arts, they had the advantage of numbers and still defeated the Chuxiong regular army.
He turned his head and looked behind him. Except for the area in front of him which had a bit of life, the distance was empty, which made the area in front of him seem lonely.
The Living King of Hell said that the area here is at least millions of square kilometers, and it can actually be developed.
By the time we finished cleaning up the battlefield, it was already dark and Aunt Liu had prepared dinner.
Because of the food sent by Feng Si, and considering that the soldiers needed to supplement their nutrition, they cooked dry white rice and stir-fried meat and side dishes in the evening.
After a fierce battle, the soldiers suddenly became refreshed when they saw the white rice and green side dishes in their hands.
They all shoveled rice into their mouths in big mouthfuls. They usually ate coarse rice in the mountains, so how could they eat such fine grains?
As for vegetables and meat, I never got to eat them, and I had never even seen them.
Seeing the soldiers eating voraciously, Aunt Liu frowned, and it was obvious that she felt distressed.
When Han Muchen returned to the tent, he did not see the stupid woman, so he turned around and walked out again.
"Where's the princess?"
He looked at Xiaoshan who was standing at the door with an inquiring look.
"It's up there." Xiaoshan pointed above the tent.
My sister has been sitting there for a long time and I don’t know what she is thinking.
The man looked up and saw the stupid woman sitting there, staring blankly at her face, not knowing what she was thinking.
He jumped up and landed lightly in front of her.
A dark shadow appeared before her eyes, and Qin Chuchu finally came back to her senses.
"Your Highness!" She looked up at the man in front of her.
"What are you thinking about?"
Han Muchen pulled her into his arms and followed her gaze towards the square in front, where wounded soldiers were lying everywhere.
"No." Qin Chuchu shook her head.
She said no, but her face showed that something was wrong and she didn't want to talk about it, so the man didn't plan to ask.
"It's time for dinner, let's go back!"
As the man spoke, he hooked his hands around her waist and jumped down.
I arrived at the door of the tent and was about to go in when I accidentally saw a young man eating in the square.
“…………” She frowned.
The young man walked over while shoveling food into his mouth and wiping his tears.
He stood beside him and watched quietly. When he saw the princess coming, the young man quickly stood up.
"princess."
"Yeah." Qin Chuchu nodded.
He pointed to the bandage on his arm.
"Is it too painful?"
This kid looks to be only about fourteen or fifteen years old. He is eating and crying at the same time. Could it be because of the pain from the wound?
"No." The young man said, and wiped away his tears again.
"Why is that?" Qin Chuchu looked at him in confusion.
The young man looked up at the prince opposite him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said it.
"My eldest brother is dead!" After saying this, she couldn't stop crying.
I am usually inseparable from my brother, and he is the one who always takes care of me. Just now on the battlefield, he was stabbed in the back in order to protect me.
I no longer have a brother to protect me, and the more I think about it, the sadder I feel.
Qin Chuchu felt even more uncomfortable and frowned even more tightly.
"Do you have any other relatives at home?"
"I have a mother, three sisters and a brother."
The young man choked and wiped away his tears.
"What about your father?"
I heard that this kid didn't mention his father. Could it be that he is no longer around?
"My father fell off a cliff and died a few years ago. My grandmother and uncle took over our land. We couldn't make ends meet, so my brother and I came out to earn money."
Thinking of my mother and younger siblings at home, I cried even harder.
Although he and his elder brother worked together to earn money to support the family, it was usually his elder brother who took care of these things, so he didn't feel very tired.
But now my eldest brother is gone, and I will be the eldest brother in the family from now on. Not only do I have to be responsible for supporting the family, but I also feel empty inside.
The days without my elder brother around feel really boring and there is no purpose at all.
“…………” Qin Chuchu’s brows were twisted together.
He stared at the young man in front of him for a long time before patting his shoulder.
"Eat! Don't be sad, everything will be fine later!"
After saying that, she turned around and went back to the tent, walking very quickly. Only the man saw the tear that quickly passed through the corner of her eye.
When we returned to the tent, dinner was already set on the table.
It was the same food the guys outside ate, white rice and stir-fried meat and vegetables.
Qin Chuchu sat down at the table and stared blankly at the dishes on the table.
Seeing that the stupid woman kept staring at the table and refused to pick up her chopsticks, the man spoke to comfort her.
"I'm too busy today, and there's no spare stove. Tell Madam what you want to eat tomorrow."
Those people outside take turns eating, so there are no idle pots and stoves for them to cook separately.
Seeing the stupid woman in a daze, he guessed that it was not palatable, so he explained it out loud.
“………………” Qin Chuchu looked up.
Hearing the man say this, I knew he must have misunderstood.
Without explaining, she picked up the bowl and started eating. It seemed like she was eating delicious food, but only she knew that the food tasted like wax in her mouth and was bland.
It’s not that the food is not delicious, it’s mainly because I have something on my mind and scenes from the outside world keep flashing through my mind, so I have no time to focus on eating.
Seeing the stupid woman eating in revenge, the man thought she was influenced by the outside world and didn't try to persuade her. He held the bowl and started eating with her.
After dinner, it was completely dark. The two of them washed up and climbed into bed.
Logically, after tossing and turning for an afternoon, he should have fallen asleep quickly, but he ended up tossing and turning in bed for over an hour, and Qin Chuchu's eyes were still bright.
Seeing that the stupid woman was as frightened as a pancake, the man reached out and hugged her in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
I heard a man's deep voice and that familiar warm breath above my head, and then I realized that he was not asleep either.
Qin Chuchu sat up and looked at him seriously.
"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!"
