222 Second Watch (Jiangnan Blade Factory Director Shallow Water Update)
With the two-day buffer, the chance of finding a water source will become greater, and their hope of surviving and breaking through will also become greater!
Ma Chao ordered everyone to try to eat a handful of this fruit, after all, this thing is too similar to the fire thorn, and that thing has a certain toxicity, cattle and sheep will fall after eating it, not to mention that they will die, but they will definitely be sick and sick, and the herdsmen will not be light, so he does not dare to directly order everyone to take the risk of eating, only let them eat a small handful, to see if anyone will be "poisoned" by this thing.
So, under the reflection of the red sun in the west, the group sat on the sand and muddy ground, holding the bright red small wild fruit, chewing carefully, and holding some homemade herbs and drinks in their hands, the scene had a strange quiet and peaceful.
Ma Tie chewed a handful of red thorns, felt that it was not enough, took another sip of water, stuffed another handful into his mouth, he burped, and snorted in the direction of Qi Han: "Big brother, look, that kid seems to be angry." ”
Ma Chao followed his line of sight, and sure enough, he saw Qi Han with his back to them, bowing his head and trying to eat the fruit in his hand.
He glared, looked at the back that looked thin in the setting sun, and frowned.
"Hey, big brother, this thing can really be eaten! That kid didn't lie to us, he really has some skills, if we can go back safely this time, you can make him an official!" Ma Tie said, burping again, actually feeling that he was about to be full......
Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, was originally a big warlord who occupied the northwest, and it was common for him to be a private official, not to mention that after the battle of Guandu began, Cao Cao in order to appease the big lord in the frontier and not cause chaos in his rear, so he let the Han Emperor give him a fake festival, so that Ma Teng had the power to open the government - what is the opening of the government? That is, he can recruit troops and buy horses by himself, which is completely legal, establish his own government office, select officials, and appoint others for himself, which is completely equivalent to the great officials who have divided the territory. Only the three dukes and the general can open the mansion in the court, which shows that the status of the Ma family is high, and it is a first-line prince of iron and iron, which cannot be compared with ordinary warlords.
And the eldest son Ma Chao is young, but he is already brave and good at fighting, famous in the northwest, most of Ma Teng's power has been delegated to the hands of Ma Chao, who acts sharply, Ma Chao said who he wants to be crowned, naturally no one dares to say anything.
Who knows, Ma Chao heard Ma Tie's words, but he shook his head and sneered: "It's just a strange and ingenious skill that can recognize plants and trees, and it's just a craftsman's apprentice, what is the use?"
Ma Tie's eyes widened, and he felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he was quick-tempered and slow-witted, and he couldn't think of anything wrong with his brother's words for a while, so he just frowned, smiled, nodded and agreed: "Also, the eldest brother has his own ideas, and this person is afraid that he really doesn't have any great talent......
Ma Chao snorted and didn't say anything more.
The cavalrymen quickly ate a lot of berries, their stomachs were full, everything was enough, and some of their pale faces also became ruddy, and they all walked up to Qi Han and thanked him, and some even took a lot of fruits and poured them into his arms. Qi Han had to take the gray clothes around, he was still a little depressed, but in the end, he was amused by their sincerity and boldness, and his mood was relieved.
Ma Chao instructed the crowd to put up all the fruits.
But everyone found that the burden was completely insufficient - there were already a lot of grass and tree stems and trumbles before, and where was there room for these little red fruits.
At this time, they were all dumbfounded, looking at the fruit in their robes in a daze--they had eaten enough, and the more than 500 brothers who were guarding the camp were thirsty and hungry for a day......!
Ma Chao and Ma Tie were also distressed, looking at this fiery thorn forest and being stupid.
Qi Han suddenly stepped forward and said to Ma Chao: "Hey, do you want to make another deal?"
As he spoke, he blinked, and there was a sly hint in his expression that seemed to be smiling.
