Not only Birala's tribe, but the other Tubo tribes also received help tonight.
The Tang Dynasty sent people to help with things.
In the middle of the night, they helped to stabilize the sheep pens and tents in the snow and brought hot soup for everyone. The soup was very thick.
All the tribes that reached an agreement with the Tang Dynasty and helped the Tang Dynasty repair their cities and exchange things all received such help.
In this moment of helplessness in the heavy snow, the Tang Dynasty sent people with tools and food instead of swords and bows.
He also promised that more things would be delivered when the sun rose.
There was no exchange here, and there was no state-to-state situation. It looked like everyone was just helping each other.
The most interesting thing was that all the leaders of the tribes had eaten the fennel beans.
Then the people in the tribe, including the older children, all drank a lid of medicinal wine.
At dawn, Birala woke up. He was drunk last night. Fortunately, this wine was made with pure grains and was not mixed with anything else.
"We killed four sheep. Everyone is drinking mutton soup. We sent scallion pancakes over. Drink a mouthful of wine first. Don't vomit."
Qin Li knew that when Birala woke up, he would explain the situation to him. "Kill a few sheep."
Birala asked one of his women to accompany Qin Li last night, but Qin Li refused.
Birala endured the nausea and drank half a lid of wine. He gritted his teeth and refused to vomit. In fact, he couldn't vomit anything except stomach acid.
It was his first time coming into contact with high alcohol content. High alcohol content was ethanol, but there was still methanol left in the body during metabolism.
Drinking a little ethanol now could replace the methanol.
As long as he endured it and drank a mouthful of mutton soup, he would soon recover.
Birala felt a headache and his eyes were red and bloodshot. He would be fine after covering them with a hot towel.
He went outside. The snow had stopped. Some of the snow piled up beside him was taller than his head.
In an instant, Birala's hangover dissipated a lot. He was scared.
If the Winged Knights hadn't come with tools to help yesterday, what would have happened this morning?
Now, not a single clansman had died, and not a single sheep had died from the heavy snow.
A road with sleighs and horse hoofprints stretched into the distance. The snow was sparkling and dazzling. What was in front of the Winged Knights' eyes?
"Dark Light Mirror, made by Dongzhu. It's very useful in the snow, it's very comfortable for the eyes."
Qin Li seemed to know what Birala wanted to ask and said directly.
"Let me try." Birala stretched out his hand and wanted to see.
When the simple glasses with a single coating were put on for him, he found that his surroundings had suddenly darkened, but it was very comfortable.
He ran into the snow and looked around. When he came back, he silently took off the mirror and returned it to Qin Li.
He finally realized the gap between him and the Tang dynasty. He couldn't fight because he couldn't defeat them.
Sky Cracker Monkeys, Explosive Packs, Hot Air Balloons, Hang Gliders, Excellent Bows and Arrows, Personal Equipment, Terrifying Logistics, and so on!
He didn't have the skills or the money. How could he rely on his courage to fight?
The Tang dynasty didn't lack these. They also dared to invite you to battle and kill with bare arms.
As long as the Tubo people had the courage, the soldiers of the Tang dynasty also had it.
The Tang dynasty had a lot of things, but he didn't.
For example, the waist-deep snow in front of him. The Tang dynasty had skis, and they could run on the snow.
Fortunately, the Tang dynasty didn't want to continue killing. Otherwise, his clansmen could only continue to run.
"Brother Birala, don't think too much. We can still survive in winter. If there's anything you need, send someone to tell us. Let's go and drink the mutton soup. We brought a lot of pepper, it's expensive."
Qin Li pulled the confused Birala to drink the mutton soup. Outside, on the open space where the snow had been cleared.
Birala's clansmen were eating biscuits and drinking soup. They had only killed four sheep. The Tang dynasty had provided the staple food.
The mutton soup was cooked in eight big pots. Half a sheep was cooked in one pot. The soup was mainly for drinking.
More mutton oil floated in the bowls of the elderly, children, and women.
According to the Tubo people's rules, the best should be given to the strongest people, followed by the children, then the women, and finally the elderly.
According to the Tang dynasty's rules, the best things should be given to the children, women, and elderly. The elderly, especially, usually got the best things.
The elderly loved their grandchildren and would give things to the children.
Animals didn't reciprocate, and humans didn't necessarily reciprocate either. Under the premise of social welfare, there seemed to be only one country that could reciprocate. It was a tradition.
Now, according to the Tang dynasty's rules, the strong people had less oil in the mutton soup, but they were allowed to pick up the bones to eat.
Some of them did want to pick up the bones, but they were immediately stopped by the people next to them.
The Tang dynasty people helped, and the Tang dynasty's rules took precedence.
The Winged Knights put the mutton aside to drink some soup. They were facing outsiders.
If you went to pick up the meat to eat, what would the others think? Just because you were young and strong?
Birala looked at his clansmen eating happily and smiled.
He finally understood that the current Tang dynasty was different from the previous Tang dynasty.
The current Tang dynasty soldiers didn't want to kill too much, and they didn't need to kill to gain merit.
It seemed that the person behind the scenes was Li Yi, and his words were the most effective. Why was it so messy?
The Tubo tribesmen who were rescued in other places also had messy thoughts.
Some of them didn't know how to face the Tang dynasty. They always talked about hatred during the propaganda, but now they came directly to help.
They lost their original land. When they thought about it, it seemed that if they still had their original land, they would also suffer great losses in this heavy snow.
However, because of the help of the Tang dynasty's Non-commissioned Officer, not only did the losses not increase, but they also had a better winter.
Every winter, some sheep would freeze to death and some people would starve to death.
This year, the Tang dynasty was always paying attention. When it snowed, it didn't stop, so they sent people to deliver things in the middle of the night to help remove the snow.
Some people didn't know whether they were from the Tang dynasty or Tubo.
They were people who hadn't seen the world. When Li Yi was in Mongolia, there were always people who went to the border to ask for help from Li Yi's country.
They almost crossed the border and were still close to Hugestone City.
In this situation, the border patrol of Li Yi's country would provide some help. The other party was willing to exchange sheep for fodder.
In theory, this was an illegal border trade, but the other party obviously wanted to let you know that I was here.
If you don't care, I'll go over. You catch me after I cross the border? You catch my sheep?
If it were people from the cactus eating country and the wall-building country, the people from the wall-building country would shoot if the cactus eating people dared to be so righteous.
If it were Li Yi's country, the border patrol would help when they saw it. It was impossible for them to shoot.
This was human nature. Only inhumane people would casually take the lives of their own kind.
Now, the Tubo tribesmen felt it. They didn't think that the Tang dynasty's Non-commissioned Officer had crossed the border.
They only thought that at the most critical moment, no one could help them. The soldiers of the Tang dynasty came.
They helped to repair the houses and take care of the livestock.
They didn't know if they could change the lamp that was not afraid of wind and snow. The lamp was too useful.
