Chapter 5 5. Meat
cave.

It has been more than a day since he escaped from the clan yesterday.

It was still snowy outside, but it was better than yesterday because it didn't snow today. If it wasn't for Qi being found whipped yesterday, then today would be the best time for them to escape, but who can say such a thing accurately.

Even though Zhang Qi said that he would come to find a way about the food, Bo Hehui still decided to save some food just in case, although it was not much, it could save lives at critical times.

The bonfire on the firepit was still burning, bringing them warmth.

They have secretly accumulated a lot of wood here on weekdays, which is enough for these few days.

Together with the tarpaulin that Zhang Qi brought out yesterday, they slept comfortably last night, which was the most comfortable sleep they had felt in these years.

Around the beginning of Youshi (17:00).

Hui squatted by the campfire and shouted: "You can eat it."

Bo, who was standing at the entrance of the cave watching, and the eagle, who was lying on his side on the ground and gnawing hay, immediately surrounded him.

Yesterday, I only ate a little grass porridge when I rushed to the cave, and I didn't eat anything today, I just drank some hot water melted by snow.

They were so hungry that they would have been unbearable if they hadn't been used to hunger by years of slavery.

About half a catty of grass seeds and some tubers were boiled into a pot of porridge water, and the few people who were extremely hungry did not refuse, and took turns holding clay pots to drink.

Uncle drank a few sips and handed them to Hui, and Hui gave them to the eagle and the harrier after two or three sips.

"Drink more, you have big bones and get hungry quickly."

Wiping her mouth, Hui whispered to Eagle.

Hawk nodded with red eyes.

Several people were sharing the porridge when Zhang Qi's figure suddenly appeared in the cave.

The coldness slowly embraced Zhang Qi, even though there was a fire burning in the cave, the temperature here was still much worse than the comfortable temperature in the world of riding and cutting.

Seeing Zhang Qi's appearance, Bo and the others were very excited. Although they had experienced it yesterday, they still couldn't help being incredulous when they saw this mysterious power beyond common sense again today.

"start!"

"start."

"."

Several people stepped forward one after another, even the eagle holding the pottery jar didn't care about drinking porridge, and clustered in front of Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi's face was full of smiles, he nodded to them, shook the beef in his hand, and said cheerfully: "Here, eat some meat, it's not much but it's enough for a meal."

"and this."

Handing the meat to Uncle, Zhang Qi clenched his fist and raised it in front of Hui's eyes.

"what?"

Hui looked at Zhang Qi in confusion.

Zhang Qi smiled and asked him to hold out his hand.

Hui didn't know why, but she believed and stretched out her hand in front of Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi slowly let go of his clenched fist, and white particles like fine sand slipped from his palm and fell into Hui's hand.

"Salt."

As Zhang Qi spoke, the eyes of the people in the cave widened. After being slaves for so many years, when did they eat salt? Every time they pick up some leftovers from the nobles of the Huns, they can feel the saltiness. taste, or lick some bitter stones with the herd.

The shock brought by salt is more shocking than the shock brought by meat.

The one who was holding the salt with one hand would suddenly hold his hands together piously, for fear that the salt in his hands would be blown away by Zhang Qi's breath.

Seeing Hui's performance, Zhang Qi couldn't help laughing, but he also figured it out. They were all slaves a few days ago. How could they not be excited when they saw the precious salt that the Xiongnu nobles could hardly get.

Shaking all the salt out of Dao Hui's hands, Zhang Qi patted him on the shoulder and said, "We will definitely live better in the future, you guys eat the meat, finish it all, I'll give it to you later Bring some here."

"kindness!"

Hui nodded excitedly, then carefully took out a piece of rag from his bosom, and carefully wrapped the salt in his hand.

Zhang Qi glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Don't waste your food, you won't be hungry if I'm here, so let's eat!"

"Don't save on the salt, I still have some, but it's just that I bring too much at once to cause trouble."

"By the way, I'll leave this to you. The next time I come out is probably at this time tomorrow. You must protect yourself. If you find any traces of people, hide them if there are many, and if there are few."

A cold light flashed in Zhang Qi's eyes.

"Kill him! We can't expose!"

Zhang Qi's eyes were cold, and the 20-plus days of fighting in the arena gave him a bit of chilling taste. The people in the cave couldn't help being stunned. Although Qi had something unusual before, the feeling he felt now made them It feels strange, and there is an indescribable feeling of oppression.

"Okay, we got it."

It was still Hui who spoke out first, he put away the salt bag, looked at the few people who were a little stunned, and sighed in his heart.

Now that Zhang Qi is blessed by the heavens, it will naturally be different from before. It is right for everyone to be unable to react for a while after living together for so long, but judging from Zhang Qi's current performance, he still misses himself and others in his heart ,fine.

Looking at Hui, Zhang Qi nodded and handed over the three flying knives on his waist.

Hui stretched out her hand to take it, then gave Yingyao a handful, and finally gave it to Bo.

"Qi, you have to be careful, it doesn't look easy on your side."

"Well, don't worry about me. Hurry up and think about where we should go. We will set off at this time tomorrow."

Zhang Qi finished speaking in a deep voice, and then disappeared in place in an instant.

There was silence in the cave for a while.

The eagle holding the clay pot trembled, and murmured, "Qi's change is really great."

Harrier nodded in agreement.

Bo opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

In the end it was Hui, who took the earthen jar from Eagle's arms, divided the meat brought by Zhang Qi into four pieces, added some snow, and put them on the campfire to cook.

"Qi is also for our own good, and he has the blessing of the heavens, so there should be changes. I think the blessings of the heavens are not so easy to bear, and Qi should not be easy, so let's not add trouble."

Bob nodded, that's what he wanted to say, but he just didn't know how to say it.

Ying and Harrier heard what Hui said, and looked at the place where Zhang Qi disappeared with distress. They were familiar with the extra momentum on Zhang Qi before, and it was something that came after killing someone. The two of them followed the Xiongnu nobles. I've felt it from those who ride horses when they're out hunting.

"Yes, let's not make trouble. We will do what Qi says in the future, and he will definitely lead us out of here!"

Ying shouted in a daze, and Harrier beside him agreed.
