In just two months since he came to this world, Qin Zhen couldn't remember how many times he had been unconscious, and when he woke up in a daze, he found himself lying on the bed in the bedroom.

"Water ......"

With a weak opening, a petite figure beside him quickly handed the bamboo cup to Qin Zhen's mouth.

After drinking two large sips of warm water, Qin Zhen recovered some of his spirits, and he looked at the child holding the water cup suspiciously.

"Branches? Why are you here? ”

Zhizhi, who was nervously lowering his head, whispered timidly: "You saved the bud, I... I can only repay you by serving you......"

Qin Zhenhao waved his hand indifferently: "Isn't it right to protect your own people, my method is fine, right?" Did the buds recover? ”

Zhi nodded vigorously: "The bud woke up this morning, and he has almost recovered in the afternoon, so he went back to our room first." You can rest for a while, the prophet has something to do and went to the outer city, so Sister Simply Mian also went with him. ”

"Something..... How long did I sleep? ”

"You've been in a coma for a whole day and a night."

Qin Zhen patted his swollen and aching head, "Bud went back to the small room on the first floor again?" ”

"Yes... Yes, the room you occupied is already our passover, and the body has recovered......"

"Nonsense!" Qin Zhen interrupted the branch's words with a straight face: "It's just a temporary fever, the downstairs environment is poor and the temperature is low and not ventilated, isn't it looking for death to go back before it has fully recovered?" ”

Turning over and getting out of bed, Qin Zhen rushed downstairs without saying a word, although Zhi tried his best to stop it, but his weak body couldn't stop Qin Zhen at all.

As soon as the sun set, when Qin Zhen went downstairs, he happened to meet the children who were in rags and came back from basking in the sun, they saw Qin Zhen stunned at first, and then knelt on the ground with a brush, letting Qin Zhen not get up anything.

For this group of children, the high-level leaders of the demon clan are all big people who can't be seen at all, and even the great prophet who lives in the same castle as them is only a stranger who can be seen occasionally.

And the king, who can leave the room, does not dislike them, and faints because of saving the buds, is the most respectable and worshipful existence in their eyes.

Looking at these children who seemed to be glued to the ground, Qin Zhen was also helpless, no matter what he said, this group of children just didn't get up from the ground, he could only continue to rush to the bud's room.

The day before yesterday, he came to Bud's room once, and this time there was no one to lead him, and he found Bud with his unforgettable memory.

In Bud's room, the older girl was still taking care of Bud, and there were a few dirty children curled up in the room and napping.

Seeing Qin Zhen come in, removing the weak buds, the other children also hurriedly got up.

"Okay, okay, you all sit back in your place for me." Seeing that they were about to kneel down again, Qin Zhen stopped him in advance.

Walking past the bud they were lying on the haystack and struggling to get up, Qin Zhen squatted down and touched the bud's forehead: "Fortunately, the fever has subsided." ”

Picking up the blushing bud horizontally, Qin Zhen carefully looked at the room.

There were about ten children living in the empty room, unfurnished, and each haystack was supposed to be their "bed". It was supposed to keep out the cold, the only window on the wall was sealed, and the already crowded room was even more cramped, with a musty smell filling the room, and occasionally a few coughs came from the darkness.

"How do you recuperate in this room? Come with me, and the little girl over there will come up too. Snorting, Qin Zhen frowned, and snorted at the girl who had been taking care of this bud.

As for the other children, Qin Zhen couldn't settle them for the time being, and some of them must have been infected with germs, and this kind of room was absolutely uninhabitable.

If you can't change the demon clan, it's good to change the fate of the people around you.

Returning to the room with Bud and the large girl, Qin Zhen called the branch that had been following him to his side and asked him to boil some hot water.

Then he looked back at the girl who looked like the head of the group of children: "What's your name?" ”

"Your Majesty, you... You can call me root directly like everyone else. The girl replied crampedly, and she seemed very uncomfortable with Qin Zhen's close contact.

"Roots?" Qin Zhen touched his chin, this name might as well be as good as a simple face, look at the names of these people, why are they not branches or roots? He glanced at the wolf's ears that were the same as the branches and buds, and asked, "Who are you and the buds?" ”

"I'm also from the Wind Wolf clan, my parents and Bud's family were in the same hunting team, and our two families have always been neighbors, and the relationship is relatively good, I have always treated Bud as a sister, and I just found out ......about her frost wolf branch."

"I'm sorry, Sister Gen, I didn't want to hide your ......," said the bud weakly as she lay on a makeshift cot in front of the fireplace.

"It's okay, after all, your uncle and aunt don't let you tell you about this matter to protect you."

"Protection?" Qin Zhen asked curiously.

Gen thought for a while, but still replied to Qin Zhen: "The humans outside like the children of the underage frost wolf branch, because they not only have a special physique, but also have a meek personality opposite to the bloodthirsty character of the wind wolf clan, so the human race will often exchange a lot of food for them, which makes the wind wolf clan unable to refuse." ”

Qin Zhen was also silent, when survival was not guaranteed, the fact that the children of the frost wolf branch could exchange for food became a transaction that the superior could not refuse.

But...... Sure enough, men are all big pigs' trotters, and some perverts don't distinguish between time and space.

But since Qin Zhen had already recognized his identity as a demon clan, he still couldn't approve of the practices of these people.

"I'll tell you, since you're here, you won't be sold to the Terrans."

After settling the buds, Qin Zhen suddenly remembered that he had said at noon today that he would let the group of children downstairs gather and wait for him, and after looking at the dark sky and the still weak buds, he could only postpone this matter for another day.

Because the little maid hadn't come back yet, Qin Zhen, who couldn't bear the cold and hard floor, quietly slipped into her room, gave a blanket to the branches and roots, and told the two of them to wake him up if they had a situation, so they could sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, the little maid returned to the castle with the meat, and Qin Zhen also learned that yesterday was the day when the monthly hunting team returned, and she followed Qian is to get the food they were allocated.

Because of the extra branches of the three of them, Qin Zhen specially ordered to make more noodles, in exchange for the little maid's eyes that were about to roll over her head.

"These foods belong to the king and the prophets, and it is not enough to save them!"

"It's okay, I've found a new source of food, and Ain is looking for it in the forest, so that not only us, but the rest of the clan will be fed."

"Really?" simply didn't believe it.

"When did I lie to you? Rest assured, this matter is relatively clear. ”

"You've been lying to me when you're playing chess! ...... Only a small piece of meat is allowed. ”

"Alright, alright." Qin Zhen shamelessly pushed the crisp noodles and walked towards the kitchen.

The sound outside the door gradually faded away, and the three pairs of nervous eyes in Qin Zhen's room finally relaxed.

Bud sat up from the bed, and her originally pale face finally had a trace of blood, and she was still a little dizzy. The gentle new king, the warm room, and the comfortable bed, which she never dared to think of in her dreams, are now really happening, so that she prays every day that this is not a dream.

He looked towards the branch and found that the branch was in a daze.

The gender of the frostwolf branch is not as ambiguous as the outside world suggests, although there is no obvious gender distinction before they reach adulthood, but since they can remember, they have been cognitively and habitually developing towards both men and women.

"Brother, why don't we go first? There was already a shortage of food in the clan, and they could no longer trouble the king. ”

Hearing the suggestion of the bud's weakness, the edig's face was a little struggling.

Since he knew that he was a frost wolf branch when he was a child, the weak and timid bud was recognized by his parents and himself as his sister, and he was ready to be a good brother who could shelter his sister from the wind and rain.

But since the bad news last year, their small and happy home has been shattered, and he, who originally thought that he could take on the responsibility of being the eldest brother and father, was slowly smoothed out in this year's difficulties, and "he" began to change towards "her".

He had always thought that he didn't need to rely on him, but when he was held in Wang Wang's arms the night before, he suddenly felt that it was really good to be protected like this.

When the mindset changes, something is also quietly changed.

For example, now, if it was the same him before, he should respond to Bud's suggestion now, and leave with Bud in his arms and not trouble the king. But driven by some careful thinking, he or she, or she, suddenly wondered if if he could have more contact with the king if he stayed in the castle?

"No, your health is not well yet, and if you leave now, you may fail the treatment that Lord Wang has been treating." With difficulty, he squeezed out of his mouth to refuse the words, and the branch lowered his head.

Zhi's answer not only surprised the bud, but the root on the side was stunned by Zhi's answer, in her impression, Zhi has been a responsible and sensible brother since he was a child, and this time he will choose to trouble others.

However, Bud is the little sister she has been watching grow up, and she doesn't want to see Bud who has finally gotten better get sick again, but it is indeed something that cannot be done to divide the food that the king has not hidden.

"Why don't I and Zhi leave first, leaving you alone, what do you think?"

"No way!"

"No way!"

Rejection in unison comes from the mouths of branches and buds.

"You go, I'll go with you!" Bud said with his fists clenched.

The branch still hung his head and did not dare to look at the buds and roots, and his voice trembled a little: "I...... I want to stay......"

Bud looked at the branch with a stunned expression, and the root, who was older than her, saw something special, and the eyes of the branch became even more strange.
