After sending the things out, it was already dark outside. Heavy snow fell outside the cave, and the biting north wind blew down from the mountains.
In order to maintain their physical strength, Bo and the others lay still on the haystack without moving.
The cave was quiet, except for the crackle of the bonfire, there was no movement at all.
Just as Zhang Qi guessed, even if these people knew that the food was guaranteed, they would not eat more because they were afraid of poverty.
"They're all lying down."
Zhang Qi appeared in the cave with four bows on his back, four quivers on his shoulders, and two pieces of meat in each hand.
His appearance instantly made the cave come alive.
The four men lifted up the tarp that Zhang Qi had brought for them before and quickly stood up and gathered around.
"start."
"start..."
"Qi, are you okay? Your body is strong again, and these clothes are really nice. I wish I had them."
Ying came close to Zhang Qi, patted Zhang Qi's chest, tugged on the cotton robe he put on and said with some envy.
Ying was a straightforward person who couldn't hide his thoughts, so he spoke very directly. Although the others didn't say anything, most of them had envy in their eyes.
Zhang Qi smiled and patted the eagle: "Don't worry, it will happen."
"By the way, Hui, there are eight pounds of beef here. Eat it tonight. You will start your escape soon. You have to build up your strength and don't save anything."
"Yeah, I know."
Hui took it without being polite. In fact, he had thought about it after eating the grass porridge and beef stew in the afternoon. He knew that Zhang Qi had prepared these foods to supplement their nutrition, otherwise the escape would not have been easy.
So when he stewed the meat, he added a lot of salt.
That meal was the best food they had eaten in these years, and the eagle even licked the pottery jar clean, leaving no trace of oil.
Even this opportunity to lick the vat is fought over by the eagle and the harrier, and the harrier also wants to lick the oil flowers.
Not only did Yao want to lick it, but Bo and Hui also wanted to do it, but they just felt sorry for their younger brother, so they didn't participate.
Now I got another eight pounds of beef, which can be stewed later, so that everyone doesn't have to carry it.
Hui carefully cut the beef into several pieces and buried them in snow.
Zhang Qi took off the four guerrilla bows on his back and gave them to Eagle and Harrier. These four guerrilla bows were all foot bows and were more powerful than the recurve short bows currently used by the Huns. A lot of.
Although recurve bows are designed to be stronger than normal bows and arrows, it also depends on the size. The Huns now use recurve riding bows that are used on horses. Naturally, they are not as long as those that are half the size of them. Bow.
"Eagle, Harrier, here, I got this specially for you. Hui and Bo's safety depends on you two, don't be careless."
Handing the bow and arrow to them, Zhang Qi said very solemnly.
The eagle and harrier naturally understood, and they excitedly took the bows and arrows. They had used bows in the past, but they did not belong to them, and the two bows Zhang Qi brought did indeed belong to them.
"Okay, what a good bow. This is powerful enough!"
Ying drew a guerrilla bow, drew it to full capacity, and then slowly retracted it. He did not dare to let go of the bow string. He who had used a bow knew the danger of letting go of the bow string.
The harrier was also pulling its bow, looking exactly like the eagle.
It is not difficult to see from the expressions on their faces that they love these two guerrilla bows.
Seeing their excitement, Zhang Qi chuckled, turned sideways and handed the remaining two handfuls to Bo.
"Don't just rely on the two of you. You two should also practice. On the grassland, the bow is better than the sword."
"Well, I know. I didn't have the chance before, but now I have it. I will practice hard."
Bo didn't speak much, but it was easy to tell from the expression on his face that he was also very happy. After cooking the beef, Huiye came over to take a handful. His thin body could only pull the bow string halfway before he lost strength.
Sighing, Hui slowly hugged Gong in her arms, her expression controlled very well, and she didn't show any emotion.
But from the look in his eyes, Zhang Qi knew that he was a little unwilling.
Hui was so thin that even malnourished slaves like Zhang Qi were stronger than him.
Walking forward, hugging Hui's shoulders, Zhang Qi comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay Hui, we are here, as you said, before we didn't have anything to eat, so we couldn't maintain our bodies and bones.
But it’s different now. I can get food, and everyone will not be hungry in the future. We are so young, and we still have a chance to grow! "
Zhang Qi's eyes flickered. In fact, he had a way to make everyone grow up, but this meant bringing them into the world of riding and slashing.
Although he knows the feelings of several people from his memory and the level of trust between them, in the world of riding and slashing, that is his biggest secret. Everyone has selfish motives, and Zhang Qi naturally does too. Although their feelings are now Reliable, but what about the future?
When everyone is no longer worried about survival, everyone is getting rich.
Human nature cannot stand the test. Before taking them in, Zhang Qi could still use the excuse of God's blessing as a cover-up, but once he brought them into the world of riding and slashing, what would happen to their hearts?
So Zhang Qi really doesn't want to take risks without being completely sure!
Hui pushed Zhang Qi with her elbow and said in a dull tone: "I know, I just feel that I am a bit useless and I have to rely on you to protect everything."
"Haha, what are you talking about? When you were in the clan, you did a lot more for us than you do now. Don't think too much. If you can't draw the bow, I will get you a crossbow. Don't say that you are useless. ."
Zhang Qi straightened Hui's body and faced him, and said in a sincere tone: "You are smart, and everyone needs your smartness. In my heart, you are much better than those two fools, Eagle and Harrier."
"That's right!"
After Zhang Qi said this, Ying beside him also echoed.
They all stared at Zhang Qi when he first moved around. They couldn't help it, but now they would subconsciously pay attention to Zhang Qi's every move, so they also saw Hui's emotional changes.
But they are not good at comforting people. When they were bullied and reprimanded in the clan, they just swallowed their anger and waited for their grandfather to comfort them, so now they don't know what to say to Hui.
Hui's body bones are indeed too thin, like tall grass on the prairie, they can break with just a slight bend.
Ying was very carefree. He didn't have any objection to Zhang Qi calling him a fool but agreed with it very much. Even the Harrier beside him said with a smile.
"That's right, Hui, you are much stronger than Ying. If you encounter danger while escaping, I will definitely save you but not him!"
"You're looking for a fight!"
After Harrier finished speaking, he was beaten by the eagle. The two of them were used to playing around, and Zhang Qi and others did not try to dissuade them. However, after their nonsense, Hui's mood improved a lot, and a smile appeared on his face. .
Looking at Zhang Qi, Hui nodded solemnly: "Well, I will help everyone live well!"
