When he finally left the market, Qin Chu bought a pancake.

The pancakes were fried until golden, with minced meat in the middle. The First Prince had been staring at them for a long time without a trace. He swallowed uncontrollably, and his stomach growled again.

He watched as Qin Chu took the wrapped oil pancake from the stall owner, broke off a small half and handed it to him, and packed the other half into the bag.

The eldest prince took the small half of the pancake and quickly ate it up, but after eating it, he became even hungrier.

At the beginning, the hunger can be endured when there is no food, but once Wei Wei eats something, the soaring hunger is even more unbearable.

The eldest prince resisted, and let himself look away from the half cake left in Qin Chu's hand.

They have no money and little to eat.Qin Chu was older than him, so he should have eaten more than him.Moreover, the eldest prince knew that Qin Chu actually didn't like to take care of himself.

When he was brought back to the barracks by Qin Chu, Qin Chu completely forgot to feed him. One day later, he was so hungry that he fell down. After being reminded, Qin Chu remembered that there was someone else beside him who needed to eat. s things.

But since then, Qin Chu never starved him again.

He shouldn't ask too much, Qin Chu doesn't owe him anything.

He will not kill him, but will protect him, which is enough.

After one night in the prime minister's mansion, the eldest prince will no longer be on guard against Qin Chu.It could even be said that in this world, he only believed in Qin Chu, and only Qin Chu would not hurt him.

But he couldn't use this reason to ask Qin Chu to treat him kindly, or even give him precious food.

Before leaving the city, Qin Chu bought another bag of hard candies at a caramel stall, but he also put them in his bag.

The eldest prince withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and fiddled with the reins in his hands.

He thought, he is not a likable child, Qin Chu has seen through him long ago, so he should not be given to him.

Qin Chu went out for a trip in the evening, and he left the baggage behind, but the eldest prince obediently didn't turn it over, nor did he steal candy from it.

After Qin Chu came back the next day, they continued on their way, but at a significantly slower speed.

Qin Chu didn't quite understand the route.

He took Noah out, but Noah only gave him the official road to the border.The army went this way, but they set off earlier than Qin Chu, so it was difficult to catch up with a child behind.

By the time he arrived at the frontier battlefield through this road, it was estimated that the battle had been fought for a month.

Qin Chu wanted to copy the shortcut on the map, but he didn't know the exact route.Seeing that he would reach an inaccessible place, Qin Chu stopped nearby and began to think of a way.

There are not many residents around, but there are a few children playing in front of the door.

After watching for a while, Qin Chu took the initiative to walk towards those children.

The eldest prince's eyes followed Qin Chu in an instant, and he was a little curious, because Qin Chu had always been indifferent, except for the soldiers in the barracks, he hadn't seen how warm he was with anyone else.

When he was first brought to the barracks, he heard other people teasing Qin Chu all day long, wondering how he could bring up a child with such a personality.

Sometimes looking at Qin Chu's indifferent appearance, he would think, maybe it's not that Qin Chu hates him, but maybe he just doesn't like all children and is not good at getting along with them.

Qin Chu stopped not far from the group of children, squatted down at a distance that would not let anyone be alerted, and waved to the group of children.

The group of children were obviously wary of strangers, but after waiting for a while, a little girl jumped over and stopped in front of Qin Chu.

"Brother, are you not from our village?" the girl asked.

"I'm just passing by, and I want to ask you, where is it if you go further north along this road?" Qin Chu pointed to the direction he was about to go.

"You can't go there. People here won't go that far, or they won't be able to come back." The little girl quickly waved her hand, and finally said, "My grandma said that if you go north from here, you will be in Cangqingzhou .”

Cangqingzhou is a place occupied by the Xiongnu, and the military camp should be stationed not far away.

These words were exactly as Qin Chu had expected. He looked at Beibei and thought for a while, thinking that these little girls were still in front of him, he reached out and took out a candy from the bag, and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl laughed quickly: "Thank you brother!"

Watching the little girl run back, Qin Chu turned back to the horse, and when he looked up, he met a pair of black and red eyes.Before he could see clearly, his eyes quickly lowered and turned to one side.

Qin Chu was stunned for two seconds, then turned to fill the water bag.He thought that he was not dazzled just now, and when he came back, he looked at the child and asked, "What's wrong?"

The child raised his head and glanced at him, then quickly lowered his head, his eyes seemed to be even redder.

Qin Chu: "..."

Wasn't it fine just now?

The eldest prince couldn't help turning his head to look at the girl who was running away. The girl's cheeks were bulging, obviously eating candy.From the curvature of her cheeks, she could even see the sugar moving from one side to the other.

She is eating candy.

The eldest prince tightened his grip on the rein. He didn't feel bad because the girl had candy, but because the candy was given by Qin Chu.

He lowered his head and blinked his eyes quickly twice, trying to tell himself that Qin Chu should give candies to other children.

Because that girl was not as bad as him, she helped Qin Chu guide the way, and even sweetly called Brother Qin Chu, adults like such a child.

And he...

He was one of the few brothers named Qin Chu, and they all wanted to lower Qin Chu's defenses, to deceive Qin Chu, and to run away from Qin Chu.

Qin Chu would not give him candies, he bought these candies to be eaten by other children.

So... Qin Chu was very kind to other children, but he just hated him.

The First Prince suddenly felt that it was too bad to trust someone.

If it was still the same as before, he wouldn't care whether Qin Chu gave candy to others, or whether he liked him or not.He could secretly steal everything in Qin Chu's bag without Qin Chu knowing it.

But now, he can't do anything.

He remembered what Qin Chu did in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the warmth in front of the bonfire, so he couldn't do anything.

Pulling the reins with both hands, the eldest prince heard Qin Chu say again: "The road ahead is a bit dangerous."

He raised his head to look at Qin Chu, and saw him continue: "You can choose not to be with me, and I will put you in a nearby farmhouse."

The hand holding the rein tightened, and the First Prince couldn't tell what was in his heart.

I hated him before, so are you going to drive him away now?

What Mingming thought before was that if Qin Chu was willing to keep him, he would follow Qin Chu, and if Qin Chu drove him away, he would leave.

But he was about to face this problem so soon, even though he knew that the person in front of him didn't like him, the eldest prince still subconsciously said: "I'm not afraid of danger."

Seeing this, Qin Chu didn't say any more.

In fact, he was also a little hesitant. It should be the safest thing for this child to bring the First Prince by his side.Qin Chu hadn't thought about the kid's thoughts before, but he suddenly thought of it just now when he saw his complexion.

Seeing that the eldest prince was still not in high spirits, Qin Chu really couldn't figure it out, so he asked Noah for a consultation.

Noah: "Can you reflect on how many words you have spoken to him since you found him?"

What does this have to do with talking?

Isn't this kid also not talkative?

Qin Chu got on the horse, but rarely paid attention to the child sitting in front of him.

Unless he had ulterior motives, the eldest prince basically didn't make a sound, and he didn't make any fuss like other children. Qin Chu was happy to be quiet.But the situation is obviously different now, the child is drooping, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Chu started looking for something to say for the first time in his life.

He asked the child in his arms, "What's your name?"

In other words, after getting along for such a long time, he only knows that this child is the eldest prince and the task object of other players, but he doesn't know his name at all.

Because there are few words, there is no need to call names.

However, after Qin Chu asked this question, the child sitting on the horse still hung his head, and after a long while, he only heard in a low voice: "I don't have a name."

Qin Chu: "..."

The topic ended tragically, Qin Chu pursed his lips, didn't make any more efforts, and rode forward in silence.

The farther to the foreground, the more desolate the scenery is, there are no taller plants, and only dry grass leaves are left on the ground.The surrounding area is empty. From afternoon to evening, I can clearly see the huge sun gradually shifting to the west, like a huge red paper-cut, disappearing little by little.

This kind of scenery is different from that of the capital city, children will inevitably be amazed, but the eldest prince has no interest in appreciating it.

He looked at the sun in the sky, feeling stuffy in his heart, as if he was suffocated by paper.

There was once a court lady who was ordered to kill him, just sticking wet papers on his face one by one, when he broke free from the rope and escaped, but he will never forget that feeling.

But now, although there was nothing on his face, he felt the same discomfort.

Seeing the slender fingers holding the rein around him, the eldest prince really wanted to ask, why he still takes him with him and protects him if he doesn't like it, and wouldn't it be better to throw away something he doesn't like?

But he didn't ask, he was afraid that if he asked, he might remind Qin Chu.

They walked for a long time, and Qin Chu even let him rest on the horse for one night.When I opened my eyes with daylight the next day, the first feeling that hit me was hunger.

In fact, he didn't sleep at night and was awake all the time, so his stomach was even more difficult.

After walking for a while, Qin Chu finally stopped at the hottest moment.The eldest prince looked around subconsciously, looking for something to satisfy his hunger.

Qin Chu already hated him very much, and he couldn't cause Qin Chu any more trouble.

After searching around to no avail, the First Prince sat on the ground with his back to Qin Chu.He didn't look back, but he could feel that Qin Chu was lighting a fire, and he took out something from the bundle, and was roasting it on the flame.

After a while, the familiar scent came over, the eldest prince restrained himself not to turn around.That was Qin Chu preparing his own food, he was not allowed to grab it.

But that fragrance is getting closer and closer.The First Prince was about to stand up and walk away, but saw a piece of golden pancake handed to him.

The eldest prince was taken aback for a moment. These were the cakes Qin Chu bought in the city he passed by last time. He thought Qin Chu had already eaten them, but unexpectedly there was still a piece left.

Although the oil cakes fried until golden are a bit dry, they are still soft after baking, and the meat stuffing inside also exudes fragrance.

The eldest prince didn't expect that Qin Chu would hand him the food. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Qin Chu. The man's face was still indifferent, but he said to him, "Eat."

By the time he realized it, he had already taken the cake and took several bites.

Qin Chu sat aside and watched him eat, and when he saw that he was about to choke, he handed him the water bottle.

The eldest prince took the kettle, looked at the food in his other hand, hesitated for a while, and asked Qin Chu, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Seeing Qin Chu turn his head, he just threw him a sentence: "I've eaten."

Did he really eat it?

When Qin Chu hugged him and immediately continued on his way, the first prince was still thinking about this question.

He remembered that the pie was not big, Qin Chu gave him one at that time, and now he gave him another piece, so didn't he eat more than Qin Chu?

Could it be...Qin Chu actually didn't hate himself that much?

This thought made the First Prince's heart beat again, as if someone had poked a hole in the paper covering it, and finally had a slight hope to reveal it.

He was also a little uneasy, always feeling that there was something unbearable behind the broken hole.

This time the night was spent on horseback again, but before Qin Chu let him sleep, he stuffed a sweet ball into his mouth.

It's sugar!

The eldest prince was not sleepy at all, but now he became more energetic.He immediately raised his small head to look at Qin Chu, his dark eyes sparkling under the clear moonlight.

He couldn't believe it, wondering if he was falling asleep and dreaming.So he couldn't resist pulling Qin Chu's arm and asked, "Is this candy? Did you give it to me?"

Qin Chu felt a little funny.

He bought these things just because they are easy to carry and replenish energy, and they don't consume as much water as dry food, but he didn't expect to satisfy the child's wishes.

Seeing Qin Chu nod his head, the eldest prince suspected that he was dreaming!

He licked the candy in his mouth, moving from left cheek to right cheek.This is not the first candy he has eaten, he snatched other people's candy because of hunger and curiosity, but this is the best thing he has ever eaten!

The paper attached to the heart seemed to be completely torn apart, as if taking a big breath of refreshing air, the First Prince felt that his whole body was so light that he was about to fly.

He even wanted to grab Qin Chu and ask: Do you not hate me?

But the lingering fear in his heart prevented him from asking this sentence.

He looked up at Qin Chu, and found that Qin Chu's cheeks were not agitated. The joy in his heart paused for a while, and he asked, "Why don't you eat candy?"

Qin Chu gave him the same answer as in the morning.

The eldest prince's doubts always exist, did he really eat it?

Eat it, why would someone put such a delicious thing only for others, and not eat it for themselves?

Comparing his heart to his heart, food is a very precious thing, so he will never give up all his food to others.

The eldest prince thought this way all night, until the next day when he took a break at noon, he saw Qin Chu take out the third piece of cake wrapped in oiled paper from his bag.

Qin Chu lit a fire as usual, and put the cakes on the flames to roast.

This time the eldest prince did not turn his back, he stood quietly at the side, watched Qin Chu light the fire, watched him take out the oiled paper bag from the bag, and watched him bake the cake and hand it to himself.

But this time the eldest prince didn't pick it up. He looked at a piece of pie in front of him that was the same size as yesterday, and looked up at Qin Chu seriously: "You lied to me."

"What did I lie to you?" Qin Chu was taken aback by what he said.

"You gave me all the bread, but you didn't eat it."

When he said this, the First Prince's voice was very serious.He didn't expect that Qin Chu didn't eat a single bite of the whole cake, and he divided it into three portions and kept them all for himself.

He also noticed that the first time he ate this piece of cake was three days ago.These three days... Qin Chu didn't eat anything.

Qin Chu did not expect the child to be so stubborn.Although it is inconvenient for Noah to adjust his body data this time, it is not too difficult for Qin Chu to go hungry for a few days.

"I ate something else," he said.

"When did you eat it? What did you eat? I've been with you all the time, why don't you know?"

The eldest prince took two steps forward, leaning in front of Qin Chu to look at him.

There was still dust on his small face, which made him look a little dirty. His dark eyes stared at Qin Chu for a moment, and the pupils gradually became darker.

Qin Chu focused on perfunctory children, and said without changing his face and heartbeat: "Eat while you are asleep."

"Liar!"

The child's words were categorical, and his eyes were red again: "You lied to me again, you didn't eat at all at night, and I didn't sleep, I know it all!"

This was the first time Qin Chu heard the child utter such a long series of words.

He looked at the dark eyes of the First Prince, and frowned.Qin Chu had long noticed that the child was too clever at night, and he thought it was just that he didn't sleep well, but he didn't expect to sleep at all.

For a moment, Qin Chu didn't know what to do, so he just passed the cake in his hand to him again: "Eat first, then talk."

Seeing Qin Chu like this, the First Prince pursed his lips, and a complex look appeared on his palm-sized face, angry and sad, and also at a loss of incomprehension.

He didn't go to pick up the cake, but continued to look at Qin Chu and said, "How can you do this? Why don't you eat it yourself? Aren't you hungry? Why..." To treat him like this?

How could someone do this to someone else?

First he saved his life, and then gave him all the food.

The eldest prince has never encountered such a thing, and at this moment, he only feels that his mind is in chaos.

He felt a little angry, but his heart wanted to be filled with hot water, so warm that it would swell.He didn't know what he should do, and what he wanted Qin Chu to do...

He didn't know anything, so he could only follow his instinct to take the cake, and then brought it to Qin Chu's mouth: "Eat it! Brother, you eat it, if you don't eat it, I won't eat it either!"

In order to make Qin Chu eat, he even used the long-lost act of acting like a baby.

Every time he used to call someone with a sweet voice, he was using his advantage as a child to take advantage of others and seek some small benefits for himself.

But only this time, he didn't want anything, he just wanted Qin Chu to eat well, and he only hoped that Qin Chu would not be so nice to him...

He's that bad and doesn't deserve it.

Qin Chu was dumbfounded by the child's actions.

He was a little surprised, because it was obvious that the First Prince was not hungry.Qin Chu had experienced this kind of hunger that penetrated to the marrow when he was a child, and he knew very well what such a feeling meant to a child, so when he saw the eldest prince deliver the cake to his mouth, he was rarely touched.

But after hesitating for two seconds, he still didn't touch the piece of high-calorie food. Instead, he pinched a piece of dry food from his bag and put it in his mouth, telling the eldest prince that he had already eaten it.

That's it, the child in front of him also looked like he was about to cry.

Qin Chu had no choice but to explain to him: "You are a child, and it is right for you to eat. If you starve to death if you don't eat, it will be very troublesome on the road. I am an adult, and I have nothing to do if I don't eat." relation."

Hearing these words, the First Prince finally stopped insisting and slowly withdrew his hand.

He slowly gnawed on the cake with the water in it, chewing every bite slowly and carefully.He knew that Qin Chu was still lying, that no adults don't need to eat.

But he had to eat it well. This was the food Qin Chu gave him, and he couldn't waste it at all.

This time Qin Chu slept for a while at noon, but the eldest prince did not sleep. He watched Qin Chu's sleeping face secretly while paying attention to his surroundings.

He had never been treated like this before, and he didn't know what this kind of behavior was, but he thought that Qin Chu might not like him, but he was really, really nice to him.

Qin Chu didn't slow down his journey, but the environment ahead became more and more desolate, and they couldn't find any food.

The bag of caramel that the eldest prince coveted before was finally fed into his mouth one by one.The eldest prince racked his brains to think of ways to get Qin Chu to eat, but Qin Chu always refused.

The dry food was still plentiful, but the water quickly decreased, and in the end it all depended on some grass roots they dug up.

Such a small amount of food and water is useless at all, and there is still an unquenchable hunger in my stomach.

But sitting on the horseback and leaning against Qin Chu's arms, even though he was hungry, the First Prince felt the most extreme tranquility in his life.

He had never defined the word happiness in his previous life.

But now, with his chin resting on Qin Chu's shoulder, the wind and sand blowing in front of him, the scorching sun on his head, and the tired horses under him.

At this time, the eldest prince felt that he had touched happiness for the first time.

He wanted this happiness to stay longer, but his consciousness had become less clear.Not because of hunger, but because of lack of water.

The eldest prince subconsciously hugged Qin Chu tightly, and called out, "Brother."

He thought that in the previous village, Qin Chu asked him if he wanted to go with him.

He chose to be with Qin Chu, and then touched death again on the road.But he didn't regret it at all. If he did it all over again, he would still choose to go with Qin Chu.

The sun became dazzling and hot, and the First Prince felt like the dry land around him, and his body would be cracked little by little.

But he was not afraid at all, he felt that there was a spring in his heart, and the oasis was bubbling out.

After an unknown amount of time, the First Prince suddenly felt a little wet on his mouth, and he subconsciously began to lick it, it was sticky water.

Is it raining?But why are the raindrops hot and have a familiar smell?

familiar……

The eldest prince trembled, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the scarlet blood drop by drop from Qin Chu's wrist, and landed on his lips.The strong smell of blood spread in his mouth, instantly causing the memories deep in the First Prince's mind to churn.

He was stunned for a moment, then jumped up, and immediately pushed Qin Chu's hand away: "Brother! What are you doing?"

Why give him this stuff?

"woke up?"

Qin Chu's face was pale, and his lips were a little chapped. Seeing that the eldest prince woke up with a slight smile, he said, "The wound is not deep, drink up the blood that flowed out."

"No..." The First Prince subconsciously shook his head, but was blocked by Qin Chu's wrist.

He had no choice but to lick Qin Chu's wrist clean, then stood up with his strength, raised his sleeves and wanted to cut his own arm.

Qin Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pressed his little arms and legs.

The eldest prince stared at the wound on Qin Chu's wrist, his face was serious, no, he can't die, and he can't drag Qin Chu down.He couldn't let Qin Chu cut his wrists anymore.

He didn't want to drink Qin Chu's blood.

Thinking of this, the originally extremely weak body suddenly gave birth to a force for no reason.

The horse had already fallen down, and the First Prince didn't let Qin Chu hug him, but walked hand in hand with him.

After walking for a while, when it was about to fall into the night, he looked into the distance, and saw a convoy of convoys on the road not far away.

The eldest prince happily pulled Qin Chu's sleeve: "Brother! Brother, look!"
