After making an appointment with Wan'er, Chu Qili also felt a lot clearer in his heart.

When distributing food to a group of wanderers, Chu Hatqi seemed to understand something: he was no longer the little leader who could only rely on reducing rations to help the tribesmen, he already had a certain amount of resources that could make hundreds, thousands, or even more people have a sense of faith in him.

This time he went to the trade area on the periphery of the Qin tribe, not only to ease the relationship with Wan'er, but also to use the resources in his hands. After all, his strength alone is limited, and it is difficult to push the progress to the desired speed.

Especially this time, being calculated by others behind his back gave him a lot of a sense of crisis, and he even felt that there was not enough time.

Putting away his thoughts, Chu Qili continued to forge the crossbow machine, he had to rush to make a sufficient number as soon as possible for the big guy to practice. Only in this way can Chu Heli leave with confidence and go to the trade area.

It took another whole day, and it wasn't until midnight that Chu Qili was able to build a sufficient number of crossbow machines. The exhausted Chu Hatli fell asleep contentedly.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Qili got up with a sore body, and it was the cultivation of the Source Law that could relieve his fatigue more than sleeping. Holding back the soreness all over his body, Chu Hatred sat down and slowly ran the source method, and the fatigue slowly disappeared.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Chu Qili opened his eyes and stretched his body. didn't continue to rest, put away those crossbow machines, Chu Heli left the house and went to find Uncle Goudan and his party.

When Chu Hatli came to visit, everyone was either practicing the source method or practicing martial arts, and when they saw the little leader coming, they didn't ask too much, and went to the wide wasteland to the east of the tribe together.

As soon as he arrived at the destination, Chu Qili took out more than a dozen crossbow machines from the storage ring, and everyone was surprised when they saw it.

"Little Chief, did you create these weapons so quickly?" Uncle Dogan asked, swallowing his saliva.

Chu Qili shook his head and denied it, "No, these are just imitations, for everyone to practice." When the time comes, the real thing will be made, and everyone will be able to get started. ”

Picking up one of the crossbow machines, Chu Qili picked it up with both hands, and pointed to the two points in the middle of the crossbow machine, "Everyone, please look, use these two points to determine a straight line, aim and lock the target through here." ”

After speaking, Chu Heli walked in front of everyone, so that everyone could see how to aim clearly. Then he pointed to the dead wood not far away, which was about a hundred paces away from him.

Raise the crossbow, aim, pull the trigger, a set of actions are smooth, all in one go. The bolt shot at the dead wood, nailed firmly to the center of the dead wood, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly.

Everyone was in an uproar, they had only seen Chu Hatli shoot the enemy with this weapon at a relatively close distance, but they had never thought that this weapon could attack such a distance.

"This thing is called the Armor-Piercing Crossbow, and this is just an imitation, and it is not a little less powerful than the original. Next, I will instruct everyone to use this armor-piercing crossbow. Chu Qili distributed more than a dozen crossbow machines to everyone.

After handing over the crossbow machine to everyone, Chu Qili told again, "Everyone must remember to check the surroundings before practicing to make sure that there is no one else." Although this imitation is much less powerful, it can easily shoot through ordinary people. ”

Everyone nodded their heads and took it to heart. Next, Chu Qili began to correct the mistakes in the shooting process of everyone, and summarized a lot of shooting specifications and skills. After correcting everyone's movements, everyone also learned decently.

But Chu Hatli, who still couldn't let go, recorded those skills and norms in the book and handed them over to everyone.

Approaching the twilight, Chu Heli also told the uncles and aunts that he was leaving the tribe and going to the trade area around the Qin tribe. But when it came to taking Wan'er with them, everyone's eyes were a little strange, with a faint smile.

The change in atmosphere was a little subtle, which also made him a little embarrassed, so he had to hurriedly let everyone disperse and go home.

Chu Qili returned home alone and ate something to fill his stomach, and the sky had already darkened. Lighting a pot of carbon fire, Chu Qili drew something on a parchment scroll with a pen in the faint light.

He planned to draw the core of the machine into four parts, three of which would be forged by the blacksmiths in the trading area, and the most critical part would be left to forge himself.

Fortunately, the core of this machine is also assembled and spliced by multiple fragmented parts, and the splicing transformations evolved by nearly 100 parts are tens of thousands, which is also an important reason why Chu Qili dared to take out some of the drawings and build them for other blacksmiths.

Chu Geli drew drawings on the side, adding some carbon to the brazier from time to time, and after burning a small pile of carbon fire, the sky was slightly bright.

Chu Qili shuffled the order of hundreds of parts and drew them on four parchment rolls. Putting away the parchment roll, Chu Qili tidied up a little, and then walked to Wan'er's residence.

Yesterday, he asked people to bring the news of today's departure, and Wan'er must have been prepared.

Chu Qili turned left and right on the rough road, and it took some time to reach the thatched house. Knocking on the door, Chu Qili saw that it was Qingfeng who came to open the door for him, and the little girl led him to the house with a jump.

Wan'er, dressed in coarse linen clothes, was busy in front of the stove, and when she saw the comer, she also looked up and said, "I'm cooking for Qingfeng and them, can we eat some together before we go on the road?"

Chu Qili nodded, although he hoped to go and return quickly, it was not bad for this moment. Sitting down with the four girls, Wan'er brought a pot of white porridge, as well as a few boiled potatoes and a plate of shredded potatoes.

Chu Qili now has less and less demand for food, and only eats a little, but on the other hand, several girls eat with relish and smiles on their faces.

The scene is very warm. After Wan'er cleaned up the table, she prepared to go on the road with Chu Qili.

The four girls have been displaced for many years and are quite independent, but Chu Qili still asks her grandmother to help take care of them. He thought that the children would play together, Xiaohu would be able to avoid a lot of loneliness, and Qingfeng and they would also be taken care of, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

After making these preparations, the two officially embarked on the steps of rushing to the trade zone, and before leaving, Wan'er still chose to wrap her long hair in a coarse cloth, and took out another coarse cloth to cover her face. According to her, hiding the gender can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble for travel.

Chu Heli didn't stop it, but every time he saw that hideous scar, his heart would shrink twice, making him a little uncomfortable.

The speed at which the two of them hurried was not slow, because Wan'er had not shown fatigue, so Chu Qili did not slow down, but vaguely accelerated.

The Chu tribe and the trade area were a large desert, and there were only two figures slowly moving forward on the huge plain. For five days in a row, the two of them were in a hurry during the day, and after nightfall, Wan'er would spread her coiled hair and rest near Chu Qili.

During the journey, Chu Heli didn't meet anyone from the two, and they communicated a lot more on the lonely road, and it seemed that the broken relationship was slowly healing.

Finally, on the sixth day, the two of them encountered a group of men and horses on the road less than 100 miles from the trade zone. The tall man led by recognized Chu Qili at a glance from afar, and greeted him quite enthusiastically, "Brother Engong!"

"Brother Qiangzi!" Chu Qili also responded with some joy. The team approached together, and Chu Qili also saw another familiar face, which was the woman he saved last time.

"I was in a hurry last time, and I haven't had time to introduce it, my name is Qi Dongqiang, this is the third lady of the tribe, and my name is Qi Qi. Brother Qiangzi smiled and introduced a few sentences to Chu Qili, then turned back to the group and said, "This is the little brother who saved our caravan last time, don't look at his age, his methods are powerful!"

The men were also cheerful, and they greeted Chu Geli one after another, and Chu Haali also responded.

Qi Dongqiang asked again, "Little brother, unknown?"

Chu Heli's attitude was modest, and he replied with a slight bow, "Chu Heli." ”

"What about the one next to you?" Qi Qi looked at Wan'er who was covering her face and asked.

"This is my little brother, named Chu Wan, who cut his cheek a few days ago and was a little ashamed to show up. As he spoke, Chu Heli hugged Wan'er's shoulder and patted it twice, with the posture of a biological brother, and introduced it with nonsense.

Wan'er threw him a roll of her eyes, as if asking, "Who is your little brother?"

"Brother Chu, I don't know if you are going to the trade zone, if you are going, we can go together. Qi Dongqiang said with a smile.

"It's an honor. Chu Qili nodded, and asked with a little playfulness, "Brother Qiangzi, do you still have a brother named Qi Delong?"

Qi Dongqiang was a little puzzled, "No, does Brother Chu have a reason in our Qi tribe?"

"No, no, it's just a joke. Chu Qili shook his head, "Let's go, don't delay your business." Brother Qiangzi beside him was confused by this inexplicable joke.
