9. Armed

After sending the things out, it was already dark outside, with heavy snow falling outside the cave, and the biting north wind blowing 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 crackling 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 are 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 with a smile on his face.

His appearance made the cave come alive instantly.

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 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. If you eat it tonight, you will start your escape soon. You have to build up enough strength and don't skimp on it."

"Well, I know."

Hui was not polite and took it. 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 Harrier 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 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.

Quite a few.

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. The safety of Hui and Bo depends on you two, so don't be careless."

Handing the bows and arrows to them, Zhang Qi said very solemnly.

The eagle and the 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.

"Good, good bow, this power is enough!"

Ying drew a guerrilla bow, drew it to full capacity, and then slowly drew it back. He did not dare to let it go empty. He had used a bow before, so he naturally 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 very much.

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. Huiye, who had cooked the beef, 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 was well controlled 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 in a low voice: "It's okay Hui, we are here. As I said, we didn't have to eat before, so we couldn't maintain our bodies and bones.

But it’s different now, I can get food, so everyone won’t 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, but 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. There was nothing they could do about it. 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 Grandpa 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 he completely agreed with it. 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 the harrier finished speaking, he was beaten by the eagle. The two were used to playing around, and Zhang Qi and others did not try to stop them. However, after their nonsense, Hui's mood improved a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.
