Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

"Aze, can I go over and take a look?" The rumbling sound of water shocked Chen Qi's heart. Chen Qi gently patted Aze on the shoulder and motioned for the other party to stop.

Hearing Chen Qi's question, A Ze stopped A Xu who was walking in front.

"Haven't Chen Qi seen Duosahe?" A Xu turned his head and asked.

"I haven't seen it either." Ale raised his hands high and expressed his opinion. The Luoshui tribe is not on the other side of the Dosa River. According to the direction they are going, they will leave the range of the Dosa River as long as they walk a little further. , Ale, who was traveling for the first time, also wanted to get closer to such a magnificent river to have a look.

Axu smiled and asked the two brothers Axu for their opinions. Axu will come to attend the gatherings held by the Lion and Wolf Tribe in recent years. Everyone wanted to see it, and he couldn't help being a little interested.

"Then let's go take a look." Seeing that there were no comments from several people, Chen Qi couldn't wait to urge Aze to hurry over.

Most of the orcs on the Dora Plain live in the vicinity of the Dosa River or the tributaries of the Dosa River, and only the original Yanshan tribe will always insist on living in the Chishui River.

The river surface of the Dosa River is very wide, and you can only barely see the situation on the opposite side of the river. There is no river beach formed by the impact of the current on the river bank. The river bank is much higher than the river surface. The impact was round and smooth, perhaps because it had been soaked in water for a long time, and the stones on the shore were covered with thick moss.

The water of the Dosa River is not clear, with a bit of reddish-brown, and the roaring water can compete with the Yellow River during the flood period. I heard that there are two tall rocky mountains in a relatively narrow place where the river channel is relatively narrow. It spans the entire river and connects the plains on both sides of the Dosa River. It is also the only way for animals to migrate every year. Thanks to the two rocky mountains, the Dora Plain is not divided by the Dosa River. into two servings.

Chen Qi got down from Aze's back, the river water splashed on the rocks and splashed a layer of water mist, and the wind blew on Chen Qi's face, making Chen Qi so relieved and squinting his eyes slightly in such a hot weather.

"Don't get too close." A Ze held Chen Qi's hand and reminded.

"Well, I'll take a look at the river bank."

Chen Qi looked around and found that there was a rock that was much higher not far away. There were not too many weeds around, and the dry surface of the rock could be clearly seen. Chen Qi pointed to the rock, "Aze , let's go over there."

A Ze took the heavy backpack behind Chen Qi and carried it behind him. He raised his head and looked at the direction Chen Qi was pointing. The rock was huge and the surface looked flat. A Ze nodded and took Chen Qi's hand. When I walked to the side near the river bank, I nodded and replied, "Okay."

At this time, it was almost noon, and Ah Xu planned to rest directly by the river bank. Ah Le took a rope from his backpack, tied a fish hook made of bones, strung a bit of cured meat as bait, and pulled Ah Shu and the two to find I went to a suitable place to go fishing, but with such turbulent waters on the river, whether I can catch it is another matter.

A Xu and A Xu put their luggage on a nearby acacia tree, clear an open space under the tree, set up a small fire, take out a small pottery plate and start to make tea, now it will be very tired to drink broth in this weather , but daisy tea can relieve tiredness and relieve heat.

A Xu saw that the others had happily moved to the river bank, and said to A Xu, "It seems that they don't want to leave for a while, so they won't eat barbecue at noon today, I'll make something else to eat. "In order to travel the past few days, they all roast the marinated meat casually or boil it and eat it directly and then continue on the road, and they don't have time to cook a good meal at all.

A Xu smiled, "I'll help you."

"good."

Ah Xu tied it with a rope to the big bamboo tube he was carrying with him, went to the river to fetch water, and also found a flat stone to clean it and bring it back to make a chopping board.

Chen Qi and the two climbed onto the big rock, and the wind rushed towards them with water vapor, taking away the surrounding heat. Aze held Chen Qi's hand to prevent him from getting too close to the shore.

This place can clearly see the surrounding scenery, and the rushing river flows to the distance where the end cannot be seen clearly. Chen Qi can't imagine how big a rocky mountain can cross such a river and withstand the migration of animals on the entire plain without falling. I'm afraid that the scene is not inferior to Sahe.

Chen Qi felt that there was also a sense of pride in his chest when he looked at the river, and he couldn't help but want to recite a song of Cao Cao's Guan Canghai to express his mood at the moment.

"Is Sanchenhe the same as this Duosahe?"

Aze shook his head, "The water in Sanchen River is calmer."

"Isn't the Sanchen River bigger than the Dosa River? How can the water be calm on such a wide river?" Chen Qi asked slightly surprised.

"Well, next time I have a chance, I'll take you to see it."

"Okay." Chen Qi smiled and kissed Aze's lips as a reward.

"Aze, give me the backpack, I will draw the Dosa River."

A Ze's ears turned red due to Chen Qi's sudden action. He peeked at the others, and found that no one was paying attention, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't get used to things like making out in front of people no matter what.

Taking the backpack handed over by A Ze, Chen Qi pulled out the paper, quill pen, and a dozen small bamboo tubes with various colored fruit dyes. Chen Qi handed a relatively large bamboo tube to A Ze, " Aze, help me get some water and come back."

A Ze nodded, picked up the bamboo tube and jumped off the rock, and found a place relatively close to the water to fetch water.

Chen Qi sat down and slowly laid out the paper. The pictures he drew on the road before were sketches using only black dyed fruit, but this time he wanted to draw Duosahe in detail. After Ah Ze came back from the water, Chen Qi asked him to discuss with Ah Xu and the others whether he could stay by the Dosa River for a day today. Ah Ze looked at Chen Qi, who was completely immersed in the painting, and smiled helplessly. Went to find Ah Xu under the acacia tree.

The fish in the Dosa River are much more ferocious than those in the Chishui River. Ale and Ashu lie quietly in the grass and tightly hold the rope tied with the fishhook. The end of the rope is tied with a stone, and they sink deeply with the fishhook. in the water.

"Can you really catch fish like this?" Looking at the rope that was swaying by the river, Ashu asked suspiciously. When he was in Qi Ze City, he also ate food made of fish, although the cooking method was cumbersome. A little, but this fish is much more delicious than those soft-bodied and boneless creatures in their Luoshui Lake.

It's a pity that there are so many things to learn in Qi Ze City, and he has to help with hunting and find various materials for making paper, pottery, bamboo sieves and other materials. Ah Shu has no time to go to Chishui River to learn how to fish.

"Of course, I can catch a lot of fish every time in the Chishui River using this method. Don't talk, just wait patiently for a while." Ale replied softly.

The two were very close, and Ale's breath sprayed into Ashu's ear, which made him feel itchy, so he couldn't help but move back.

While Ah Shu was moving his body, he suddenly felt that the rope in his hand was being pulled by a force. Ah Shu reflexively clenched the rope, and then the whole person was pulled forward and staggered. Ah Le quickly stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around the other's waist. , turned over, and stepped firmly into the mud in front of one foot to reduce the force of the forward charge.

The other free hand stretched over, took the rope in Ah Shu's hand, and quickly wrapped it around his arm a few times. After fixing the rope, he let go of Ah Shu, held the rope with both hands, and turned his back with a sudden force. , A black-brown catfish almost as thick as an adult orc was pulled out of the water, over the heads of the two, and slammed into the grass next to it.

Ale's left hand quickly turned into a beast, and he stepped forward, one hand fixed the head of the big fish that was still struggling, and the sharp claws of the other hand had cut through the throat of the big fish, almost cutting off the entire fish head. Blood stained the green weeds under his feet.

All of this happened in an instant. When Ah Shu came back to his senses, Ah Le excitedly ripped open the belly of the big fish that was out of breath and was just twitching reflexively. The head and internal organs of the fish had already been thrown into the In the rushing river.

Chen Qi, who was sitting on the rock, just saw this scene, and was shocked by the big fish jumping into the air. It was the first time he saw Ale handling his prey so quickly, which was a little longer than he usually gives. It doesn't look like it's not at all. Chen Qi took out another blank piece of paper, closed his eyes and recalled what he had just seen. When he opened his eyes again, the quill in his hand was already stained with black fruit dye, and he drew the big fish. The moment when Ale was pulled ashore.

"You are amazing." Ah Shu, who was also shocked, murmured praise.

Carrying the processed big fish on his shoulders, Ale touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "Let's go, we can eat fresh meat at noon." For more than a week, he ate grilled, marinated or boiled meat. On the day of the cured meat, Ale was about to vomit. After receiving the fresh food, Ale could no longer imagine how he could endure eating those barbecued meats with a bitter taste of salt rock every day before he came to Qi Ze City.

As the saying goes, from frugality to luxury is easy, and from luxury to frugality is difficult.

I just found a few wild potatoes and a few wild vegetables nearby, and A Xu, who was about to take the cured meat out for lunch, saw A Le who was carrying the big fish back, and smiled and took the big fish over, "You kid, I didn't expect such a turbulent river to allow you to catch fish."

Ale smiled and pointed to Ashu who was following behind, "I didn't catch it, Ashu caught it."

Hearing this, Ashu waved his hands again and again, "If it weren't for you, I would have been dragged into the river by this fish."

When A Xu heard it, he knocked his stupid brother on the head mercilessly, "If you are dragged into the river by such a fish, you don't have to come back." Such a prey is not half the size of the prey that is usually hunted. People know that such a prey can't be solved, and they don't have the face to say that they are from the Luoshui tribe.

Ashu looked at his brother pitifully, but did not dare to answer.

"Okay, okay, the prey has returned from hunting. Today we will rest here, and we will start tomorrow. Since we have hunted fresh prey, we will eat fish in a while." A Xu smiled and smoothed the game.

Ale was stunned, "Don't we have to hurry today?"

"Chen Qi needs to draw something here, and we will leave after he finishes."

Ale's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but before he could speak, Axu gave him a glance, "Don't think about making trouble, don't go to Chen Qi before sunset."

"I just want to see what he's painting, and I don't want to make trouble." Ale slumped his shoulders in frustration, but he also gave up the idea of ​​running to the rock. Since he can't go to watch, he will go around in the afternoon. Let's see if there are any plants that can be used. When going out, A-Chang handed them a small picture book of various plants that can be used. The picture book carefully painted the appearance of various plants, and also marked their usage on the side. And how to deal with it, these are all sorted out by Chen Qi in the past few months. There are only two such albums in total. One of them is left in the tribe, and the other is brought out by Axu. Found some that can be properly picked.

After A Ze and A Xu greeted them, they went back to the rock. Most people here do not need him to help with cooking and eating. Although there are no animals on the plain now, it does not mean that there is no danger. A Ze is not worried that Chen Qi is alone. .
