Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

With the departure of the Luoshui tribe and the disappearance of the first snow, the Dora Plain ushered in the annual harvest and the season of food storage for the coming of winter.

The crops that Chen Qi led the orcs to plant on the large piece of wasteland before began to mature one after another. With the completion of the forging of iron farm tools, even males who could not be turned into animals could help harvest, and the speed of the orcs' harvesting also increased. Much faster.

But in terms of crop storage, it is worrying. It is just that some crops such as beans and sweet potatoes and barnyardgrass that are durable to storage are okay, but for crops such as vegetables, ten days and a half months are already the limit.

Since this summer, Chen Qi has dried many kinds of dried vegetables and pickled a lot of sauerkraut one after another, but thinking that it will be hard to eat fresh vegetables and fruits after winter is a bit of a headache, after thinking about it , decided to ask Aze to help dig a cellar when he came back.

And when Carlo heard that he could dig a cellar to store things, he took Ake to dig one in the yard that day. Now the tribe has begun to dry dried fish as a staple food in winter, and the dried fish should be put back into the storage in the house. In the past, the small quantity didn’t feel like a big deal, but now when it’s processed in large batches, the whole house smells like salted fish.

After dealing with it for a few days, now not only the inside of the house, but also the smell of salted fish can be smelled when standing in the yard. Chen Qi pinched his nose in disgust as soon as he entered the door.

Azhang also brought two female sons over to help. Apart from looking at how to dig the cellar, he also discussed with Chen Qi what materials to use for the new orcs to build houses. After all, the stones in the original rock tribe It has been emptied by them long ago, and we only encountered dragons two days ago, so we can only wait until next summer to see the situation when we go into the forest to collect stone slabs.

"When my brother comes back, your house will also smell of salted fish." Although I have to experience this smell every year when I start to store food, it is obvious that the smell of salted meat in previous years is better than this salted fish smell Much more, even if Carlo had already been mentally prepared, he still couldn't stand it after staying in the room for a long time. Now even in his dreams at night, he was dreaming of being crushed by a pile of salted fish, not to mention how depressed he was.

"No, even if the meat is not stored in the cellar, we still have another house where we can store things." Chen Qi pointed to Aze's original house that had been turned into a utility room not far away. He took out a cloth mask and handed one to A Jing, asking him to take A Yao back to his home to play, so as not to suffer here.

A Yao didn't know if it was because of the smell of salted fish these two days, his expression was a little dazed early in the morning, and Chen Qi brought his favorite French fries over, but he couldn't cheer up the little guy.

"Don't worry, he's just preparing to turn into a beast, and he'll be fine in a few days." Seeing that Chen Qi was worried, Ake explained.

"Beast? Didn't he become a beast last year?"

"Last year's fur was not considered a complete animalization. It was born with him. This time he needs to transform his fur into a beast again." Every female orc has to go through this process, although there are some who have lost their fur due to the failure of animalization. The little female died in winter, but A Yao was fed very well by Carlo this summer, and there is no problem of failure to transform into a beast, so Ake is not very worried, as long as he guides A Yao to learn how to become a beast during this time. Just melt it.

Carlo handed an iron hoe to Chen Qi, "Has my brother not come back yet?"

Chen Qi shook his head when he heard this. According to the estimated time when A Ze left, the other party should have returned yesterday, but he has not seen the other party until today.

"Don't worry, with Aze's strength, nothing will happen. I guess it was delayed by something on the road." Ake comforted him.

Although Aze didn't come back at the scheduled time, Chen Qi didn't worry that it was a lie, but he also knew that Aze was a strong female, and the other party also mentioned to him before leaving that if he came back a few days late, he wouldn't worry too much things.

Hey, Chen Qi began to miss the mobile phone in the original world again, if in the past, this kind of situation could be solved with a single phone call, why would he be thinking about it here.

The excavation of the cellar went smoothly. Carlo's cellar was dug that day. In order to prevent the winter snow from burying the cellar door, Ake also built a scaffolding with wood on it.

Chen Qi originally wanted to wait for Aze to come back before messing with his cellar, but Ake brought a few people to help him finish it the next day.

As every household in the tribe has dug a cellar for storage, and all the plants on the wasteland have matured, Azhang led his people to harvest all the crops on the wasteland at once, and then distributed them to everyone. In the hands, even the orcs who have settled down in the tribe are given a share. The orcs who were nervous because they just came to the new tribe have also settled down and actively participated in the harvest and construction of the tribe. .

On the fifth day when A Ze was supposed to come back, he still didn't see the other party's figure, and Chen Qi's brows became more and more tight. After harvesting all the crops in his yard, Chen Qi planted all the cabbages that grow quickly and are not afraid of the cold. , so that even if no crops can be planted in winter, the cabbages in this yard should be able to eat for a while.

Nothing was planted on the wasteland, but some plant ash was spread on it.

A sunshade hut was built on the city wall of the main entrance. There was a wooden table and a few chairs in the hut. Chen Qizheng taught Yehuo how to use movable type printing while teaching Ye Huo calligraphy.

Yehuo is very talented in learning characters, but in just a short period of time, he can quickly catch up with Ah Le. Chen Qi is also very happy to have a person in the tribe who can learn as much as Ah Jing, and let Yehuo follow him directly. Learn by yourself and hand over the printing to the other party, so that the books in the tribe can gradually start to increase in the future.

Chen Qi originally thought that as he stayed in this world longer and longer, his memory of the previous world should become more and more blurred, so since he made the paper, he began to write down everything he knew whenever he was free. Once it is recorded, sometimes when telling a story to Ah Jing, the other party will be asked to write the story silently.

However, the situation was just the opposite. Chen Qi's memory of the previous world became clearer and clearer with the passage of time, and sometimes he could even recall every word said by an actor in a certain TV show.

So Chen Qi no longer forced himself to copy books every day in a hurry for fear of forgetting things like before, but slowed down, and occasionally went to school to teach new lessons to the orcs.

"Are you worried about Aze?" Seeing Chen Qi looking out of the city for the first time in a daze, Ye Huo put a newly printed page aside to dry.

The first thing to be printed was the thousand-character script for recognizing Chinese characters. It took almost a month to engrave these thousand characters, and now there are two full boxes piled up on the feet just to hold these reversed woodcut characters. side.

Yehuo had just begun to control the amount of the fruit dye, and the printed text was all blurred and illegible. It took several attempts to get better.

Chen Qi came back to his senses, hummed lightly, "He's been away for too long this time."

"Don't worry too much. It might be delayed by something on the road. Didn't Ake go to find him? Maybe he'll be back tomorrow." The females sometimes go out hunting for ten days and a half months. Qi Ze City is close to the forest, so it is possible to run back and forth in one day, so Ye Huo is not too worried about the females who go out to hunt, unless they encounter hyena dragons, or other dragons, the females cannot beat I can still run.

Chen Qi nodded and helped Yehuo arrange the words to be printed on the next page one by one, but there were not a few in the line, and his eyes could not help but drift to the direction outside the city.

Yehuo sighed secretly, and only immersed himself in doing the work in his hands. While brushing the new fruit dye liquid on the woodcut text, he memorized the above text silently.

After another day of sleep, the wound on Ah Jin's body slowly scabbed over. Because the wound on his back was too severe to walk with Ali on his back, he could barely run while holding him. It was a lot slower when I was injured, but it was also much faster than yesterday's slow pace.

Looking at Ah Jin, who was panting profusely and sweating profusely because of the pain in the wound or running, Ai Li's eyes were very complicated, but he didn't mean to let the other party rest, but just took out a piece of paper from his arms. A slightly dirty cloth strip wiped the sweat dripping from the other party's face.

Ai Li's movement made Ah Jin, who was running, stiff for a moment. He looked down at the person in his arms, and saw that the other person had wiped off his sweat as if nothing had happened, and then naturally stuffed the cloth back into his arms. Can't help but smile.

"Feel sorry."

Ai Li raised his head, not understanding why the other party wanted to apologize to him.

Ah Jin withdrew his gaze, and the speed under his feet accelerated a little unconsciously. He knew the purpose of Aili's coming out this time, and he didn't want to miss the treatment of the little female who was still in the tribe with high fever because of his injury.

Feeling that the speed has increased a lot, Ai Li stopped talking, and took the initiative to wrap his arms around Ah Jin's neck to relieve the other party's burden.

Fortunately, it was not far from the Lion Wolf Tribe, and there were no accidents on the road. Two days later, the three of them could already see the three tall rock mountains of the Lion Wolf Tribe. If they walked further, they should be able to meet the guards nearby. The female son of the lion wolf tribe.

Aze did not escort the two to the gate of the lion wolf tribe, but returned the luggage to the other party after seeing that the distance was almost the same, intending to say goodbye to the two.

"Thank you for saving us. Will you come after the gathering in the tribe begins? I will send my thank you gift at that time." Ah Jin took the luggage of the two and said gratefully to A Ze.

Aze shook his head, "No, I won't attend the rally."

"Then I will give you a thank you gift next time we meet." Ah Jin said with a little regret: "If you need my help, you can also come to the lion and wolf tribe to find me."

A Ze nodded, but he didn't take Ah Jin's thanks in his heart. He saved them just as a matter of convenience, not for the gift, even if the other party was not these two people, he would do it.

Ai Li stood beside him, looked at Aze and turned his head away, biting his lip and did not speak.

After parting from Ajin and Aze, he picked up Aili and ran towards the lion wolf tribe. Aze didn't care about Aili's attitude, so he found a tall acacia tree nearby and climbed up, watching the two of them off. He turned around and left after meeting the female of the lion wolf tribe who was guarding nearby.
