5. Meat
Cave.
It's been more than a day since I escaped from the clan yesterday.
It's still snowy outside, but what's better than yesterday is that there is no snow today, if it weren't for the fact that Kai was found whipped yesterday, then today is the best time for them to escape, but who can say for sure that kind of thing is like this.
Although Zhang Qi said that he would find a way to deal with food, Bo and Hui still decided to save some food to eat just in case, although it is not much, but it can also save lives at critical times.
The campfire on the fire pit was still burning, bringing them warmth.
They secretly accumulated a lot of wood here on weekdays, which was enough to use for the next few days.
Coupled with the tarpaulin brought out by Zhang Qi yesterday, they slept comfortably last night, and this sleep was the most comfortable they felt in all these years.
Around 17:00.
Hui squatted by the campfire and shouted, "It's ready to eat." ”
The three of them, who were standing at the entrance of the cave and watching, and the Eagle Harrier, who was lying on the ground and mawing hay, came around.
Yesterday, I only ate a little grass porridge when I arrived at the cave, and I didn't eat anything today, but poured some hot water after the snow had melted.
They would have been starving for a long time, and if it hadn't been for the years of slavery that had made them accustomed to hunger, they would have been unable to bear it a long time ago.
About half a catty of grass seeds and some tubers were boiled into a pot of porridge and water, and they were all very hungry, and a few people did not shirk it, and took turns holding the clay jar and drinking.
Bo took a few sips and handed it to Hui, who took two or three sips and gave it to the eagle and the harrier.
"Drink more, you have big bones, and you are hungry quickly."
Wiping her mouth, Hui whispered to the eagle.
Eagle nodded with red eyes.
A few people were sharing the grass porridge, and Zhang Qi's figure suddenly appeared in the cave.
The cold slowly embraced Zhang Qi, even if there was a fire burning in the cave, the temperature here was still much worse than the comfortable temperature in the riding and slashing world.
Seeing Zhang Qi's appearance, Bo and the others were very excited, although they had experienced it yesterday, but when they saw this mysterious power beyond common sense again today, they still couldn't help but be incredible.
"Enlightenment!"
"Kai."
“....”
Several people stepped forward one after another, and even the eagle holding the clay jar couldn't care about drinking porridge, and gathered in front of Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi was full of smiles, nodded with them, shook the beef in his hand again, and said happily: "Here, eat some meat, not much but enough to eat." ”
"And this."
Handing the meat to Bo's hand, Zhang Qi clenched his fist and raised it in front of Hui's eyes.
"What?"
Hui looked at Zhang Qi puzzled.
Zhang Qi smiled and asked him to stretch out his hand.
Hui didn't know why, but he also believed and stretched out his hand in front of Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi slowly let go of his clenched fist, and white particles like fine sand slipped from his palms and fell into Hui's hands.
"Salt."
Zhang Qi opened his mouth and said, the people in the cave opened their eyes wide, they have been slaves for so many years, when have they ever eaten salt, every time they pick up some leftovers from the Xiongnu nobles to feel the salty taste, or they follow the herd to lick some bitter stones.
The shock of salt is even more shocking than that of meat.
Originally, he still took the salt with one hand, and his hands were suddenly reverently clasped together, for fear that the salt in his hand would be blown away by Zhang Qi's exhalation.
Seeing Hui's performance, Zhang Qi couldn't help but laugh a little, but he also figured it out, these people were still slaves a few days ago, how could they not be excited to see the precious salt that was difficult for those Hun nobles to get today.
Shaking off all the salt in his palm into Daohui's hand, Zhang Qi patted him on the shoulder and said, "We will definitely live better in the future, you eat the meat, eat it all, I'll send you some later." ”
"Yes!"
Hui nodded excitedly, then carefully took out a rag from his arms and carefully wrapped the salt in his hand.
Zhang Qi glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Don't save eating, I can't be hungry with me, so I let go of my belly and eat!" ”
"Don't save salt, I still have it, but it's just that I bring too much trouble at once."
"By the way, I'll leave this to you, I'm afraid the next time I come out will be at this time tomorrow, I have to protect myself, if I find someone's traces, hide it if there are more, if there is less, ....."
A cold light flashed in Zhang Qi's eyes.
"Kill him! We can't be exposed! ”
Zhang Qi's eyes were cold, more than 20 days of fighting in the arena made him a little more slaughtering, and everyone in the cave couldn't help but be stunned, although Qi had unusual places before, but now the feeling made them feel strange, and there was an indescribable feeling of oppression.
"Okay, we got it."
It was still Hui who was the first to speak, he put away the salt packet, looked at the few people who were a little stunned and sighed in his heart.
Zhang Qi now has the blessing of God, naturally it will be different from before, everyone has lived together for so long and can't react for a while, but judging from Zhang Qi's current performance, he is still worried about himself and others in his heart, okay.
Looking at Hui, Zhang Qi nodded and handed over the three flying knives on his waist.
Hui stretched out his hand to take it, and then gave one to each of the Eagle Harriers, and the last one to Bo.
"Kai, you have to be careful, it doesn't look easy on your side."
"Well, don't worry about me, you guys hurry up and think about where we should go, and we'll set off at this time tomorrow."
Zhang Qi finished speaking in a deep voice, and then disappeared in an instant.
......
There was silence in the cave for a while.
The eagle holding the clay jar shuddered and muttered, "Kai... What a change. ”
The harrier nodded in agreement.
Bo opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
In the end, it was still Hui, he took the clay jar from the eagle's arms, divided the meat brought by Zhang Qi into four pieces, added a little snow, and put it on the bonfire to cook.
"Kai is also for our good, and he has God's blessing, and there should be changes, I think God's blessing is not so easy to bear, Kai should not be happy, let's not add to the chaos."
Bo nodded, this was what he wanted to say, but he just didn't know how to say it.
When the eagle and the harrier heard Hui say this, they also looked at the place where Zhang Qi disappeared distressedly, they were familiar with the extra momentum on Zhang Qi's body before, it was something that only came after killing people, and when the two of them followed the Hun nobles out to hunt, they felt it from those who rode horses.
"Yes, we won't make trouble, we will do what Kai says in the future, we will do it, and he will definitely take us out of here!"
Eagle shouted in a daze, the harrier beside him with a look of approval.
