Future king
one day……
Two days...
Three days.
The action went smoothly, resting during the day and acting at night. The silent desert slowly retreated under the footsteps of a group of people. Only the stars and moonlight became the only lighting in this quiet place, and no wind was heard. The only thing that reverberates around is the rustle of footsteps on the gravel.
It went really smoothly, didn't it?
Although I was worried every day, I didn't see the black dragon flying across the sky for three days, which made Jin's tight heart gradually relax. Look now, the food is plentiful, the queue is neat, and it only takes more than a week to get to Fengchuansha. It is not good?
Walking, the prince laughed.
He pressed his hands on the two sword hilts on both sides of his waist, humming and walking forward...
"what are you doing?!"
But at this moment, the voice of the bearded businessman came from behind. Although these businessmen had reported their names to themselves, they had no mood to remember.
Turning his head, I saw that the bearded businessman was grasping the blind nv's hand with one hand at the moment, and in her hand, there was a block that was dried during the day.
"what happened?"
Kim came over and asked.
"Ah, brother Jin, this is really irritating! This person...she actually dared to steal food!"
Jin looked at the block in the blind nv's hand. It was the hyena that he had cut off. After thinking about it, Jin shrugged and said, "Ah, so? Let's eat. We have plenty of food anyway. Let her It’s not a big deal to eat at all."
"Sufficient food? Brother Jin, who told you that we have enough food?"
At this moment, Jin was stunned. He half-opened his mouth and stared at the bearded businessman blankly.
"Food... not enough? But... But, look at the cysts on your camels, so many things, if it's not food, what are they?"
The bearded businessman blew his beard and shouted loudly, "Those things are my merchandise! Since we separated from the army, food has been in short supply! Except for one of the four hyenas you killed, brother iǎ. Besides, we only have a few breads and emergency foods left, which can’t be supported for a few days at all! Therefore, we have been calculating the dosage every time these days, striving for all of us to be able to support it to the end!"
shortage of food? !
Jin has never realized this problem. In other words, after seeing the bulging cysts over there, he always thought that these people had very sufficient reserves! But now that I think about it, I remember that every time these people distribute food, everyone only gets a very small slice. At first, Jin thought it was to plan for the worst, so he didn't say anything. But I didn't expect... the real result turned out to be this!
After the explanation, the bearded businessman grabbed the film in the hands of the blind nv, pushed it away, and said viciously: "You vicious nv guy! You thief, murderer! We shouldn't have pity on you at all. No wonder when I calculated the food reserves yesterday, I always felt that there was so much less all of a sudden. It turned out... it turned out to be your ghost!"
The blind nv fell to the ground, struggling a little, but couldn't stand up for a while. Looking at it again, she was holding her feet, and she kept on, and a painful **** appeared on her face.
"Hey! Why are you hitting nv people?!"
Jin stepped forward, pushed the bearded businessman away, and shouted.
Brother, maybe I didn't introduce it clearly when I introduced it. This nv person is not actually our teammate, she is actually a prostitute nv, who killed the client after the wind and the sand had a dispute with the client, and escaped. This time we happened to catch her outside, and we caught her back thinking that we could use her for a bounty. But unexpectedly, this action of mine actually harmed us! "
The bearded businessman opened the side food pocket and threw the piece in his hand. At the same time, I looked at the number of films that had almost bottomed out, and there was a fierce expression in his eyes.
"No way, such a scarce food reserve is simply not enough for us to survive the wind and sand. If we don't abandon one person, we will never go back alive!"
Hearing these words from the bearded businessman, an expression of horror immediately appeared on the face of the blind nv. She tried to stand up, but her sprained foot couldn't stand up. She anxiously squeezed her heels and screamed: "No...no! Don't leave me! I...I...as long as you don't give up on me, I...I am willing to do anything! Look, I...mine My eyes were blind when you caught me, if you really throw me here, I...I will die!"
Jin looked at the blind nv boy and hesitated for a while.
After more than two months of training, he has learned to think. Therefore, he is no longer the kid who has a hot head and takes action without considering the consequences.
He knew very well that it would be easy if he shouted "Never give up her" now, but what happens after he shouts out? Insufficiency of food is a fact at hand, and no one can deny it. Why do I want people around me to give up the hope of survival that I might get because of a decision of my own? It should be natural to give up such a murderer at this time...
Isn't it?
However, that sister was crying.
She howled, tears fell from her blind eyes, and she yelled and screamed anxiously, hoping that everyone would not give up on her or throw her in such a desert.
I...Is a prince...
As the next heir to the throne of the Bucks Empire, of course I should consider the people, right?
Yes, for the sake of the people...
"We can't give up her."
Jin stepped forward, came to the blind nv boy, and squatted down.
"What are you talking about? Brother iǎ, this is impossible! Our food is simply not enough!"
"For food, give her half of the food that should have been given to me, okay? In addition, I will try to find a way to hunt. Don't look at me like this, I have already learned about the desert. "
The bearded businessman covered his head and couldn't believe it and said: "This is ridiculous at all! Brother, have you never been hungry? It is not that easy to get food in the desert! Moreover, this nv person has already twisted his feet. We simply cannot take him!"
Jin snorted, turned his head, and said to the three camels, "Isn't there so many mounts? Just let one out..."
"No!"
Hearing that Jin was about to withdraw the goods, the bearded businessman immediately opened his arms and stopped in front of the camel, blowing his beard and staring: "These goods are mine, I will never throw them down! I will make money from them!"
Hearing these words in the ears of the prince, Jin could not help but make him angry. He waved his hand and said loudly: "Hey! These are just goods?! Will you die if you unload a camel? This is a living life!"
The bearded businessman shook his head like a rattle, and responded: "I care for your life but not for your life? It is your idea to save her, not mine! Why should I sacrifice my interests for your opinion? What right do you have to let one of us sacrifice something to perfect another? Do you think this is in line with the rules?!"
In an instant, Jin's eyes opened wide, and his mouth opened slightly.
His thoughts went back to the past, back to the education he had received when he was a "prince".
As the heir to the throne, he has the right to let someone make sacrifices. But can this right be used by itself? Even if I think this is right, for others, my sacrifice is still certain.
Why?
The bearded businessman was right.
If someone wants to sacrifice himself for nothing because of what he thinks is right, why?
If you make a decision, you have to bear the consequences yourself. Don't think about passing these responsibilities to others, because this is your decision.
That's it...I understand. "
I figured it out, Jin's head nodded.
I figured it out, not only this time, but also the king's choice.
This is my own choice and should be borne by myself.
"Sister, come."
Jin bent down and turned his back to the blind nv. He smiled and said: "Come on, I will carry you. Don't worry, I will carry you back to the wind and sand. Even if I send you to prison, I will send you to a safe place. I, absolutely I will not give up anyone here."
Blind nv's expression was stunned. After a while, she covered her mouth and tears fell from the corners of her eyes again.
The bearded businessman next to him didn't say anything anymore. It seemed that as long as he could keep his goods, everything would be fine. He snorted, and stepped forward to help the blind nv ride on i Jin's back, after which he let go.
Although a fourteen-year-old boy is light, it is indeed an unreasonable pressure to let a ten-year-old boy carry it.
Even if I've been exercising for more than two months, under the severe limit state, coupled with the lack of food, the burden is getting heavier and heavier, which makes him difficult.
After the wind bō, everyone started walking again. One day, two days, three days, four days...
As time goes by, the food stored is getting less and less. Without food, there is only death waiting for everyone. This is the only way...
...
The golden god, in a trance.
At midnight, all he had allocated was crumbs of cookies.
The child raised his head and looked at the bearded businessman over there, and saw that he was holding the last piece of the hyena he killed in his hand and was chewing wildly now. But in my own hands, there are only debris...
I thought I could find the food, but I never saw it again.
Those snakes, insects, rats and ants seemed to disappear from this world in an instant, and never appeared in front of iǎ Jin again. Every time I Jin wanted to go hunting, he was refused by the bearded businessman on the grounds of rushing. After eating this last meal today, can I survive the next week?
"You... don't eat it?"
The blind nv's feet are still not good. She sat beside iǎjin and said.
Jin wanted to swallow his saliva, but only then did he realize that he didn't even have the last saliva. In desperation, he could only throw the crumbs of the biscuit in his hand into his mouth, and swallowed it.
"I'm done."
The food in the hands of Blind nv is still scarce, and her jīng **** looks very trance. After being silent for a while, the nv boy slowly said: "Brother iǎ Jin, you... could have given up on me. If this goes on, you may be encumbered by me..."
"I know."
Jin nodded and said without hesitation——
"I know the consequences of doing this. But I want to say that the reason why I did this is not a temporary impulse. I have thought about it, and I have thought about it. I was afraid that I did not know what responsibility is at all. , I just talked verbally, and didn't really feel it."
"But now, I understand. It turns out that the'responsibility' thing is so heavy. It turns out that this world is not as simple as I imagined. Everything I have obtained before makes it impossible for me to see the world clearly. Also. I can’t understand what my identity means.”
Blind nv asked suspiciously on his face: "Your...identity?"
Jin shook his head and said, "This identity is no longer important. Perhaps...this identity has become more important. It turned out that my father and the people around me were resisting many of the troubles before. I didn’t undertake anything. I already knew what I should do and how I should do it. This position is indeed not something that can be easily handled by playing a trick and doing what I can do..."
Jin, smiled.
There was an ugly but real smile on the thirsty face.
Blind nv turned his head and faced the child. After a while, a smile appeared on her face. Suddenly, she opened her hands, held the child in her arms, and gently stroked his hair.
"Huh? Huh??!!!"
"What, hate it?"
Do not. "
After a brief surprise, Jin closed his eyes and immersed himself in the arms of the blind nv.
"My sister's body... so fragrant. The body is so soft. It reminds me of a family of mine..."
Jin lay all over the mouth of Shao Nv, feeling the warm feeling.
"your family?"
"Well. After I go back, I want to apologize to her. Although I have to apologize to many people besides her. But she is the first person I want to apologize the most..."
Jin closed his eyes and slowly said——
"My sister... I want to say to her... I'm sorry. Before I left home, I was so ignorant and barked at her. I want to apologize to my sister, and hope that... she can forgive me."
"Ok."
A smile appeared on the face of blind nv--
"Your sister, you will definitely forgive you......definitely." A
