Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

Today is the moonless day. A-Zhang needs to prepare to go to the lion and wolf tribe tomorrow, so he didn't come back. Anyway, the house has already reached the stage of waiting for the gummy fruit to dry, so Chen Qi asked them to work on their own home first. , the roofing of the house can be done after they return from the lion and wolf tribe.

Azer turned over all the animal skins in the utility room early in the morning. It was the result of his hunting this year. Azer picked the animal skins and stuffed them into his backpack. Chen Qiyi, who came to get the firewood, entered the door. Just saw Aze sitting on the ground frowning and staring at the bag that had been stuffed bulgingly, with a worried look on his face.

"Is this the animal skin I'm going to use to exchange things? How many salt stones can be exchanged for such a large bag?"

"It can be exchanged for about ten pieces." Generally, only one piece of salt stone can be exchanged for animal skins, and the best and warmest animal skins selected by Aze can only be exchanged for at most two pieces. But if the animal skins are processed into animal skins like Ali did, even ordinary animal skins can be replaced by two or three pieces. Aze doesn't know how to make animal skins. In the past, he used to bundle dozens of animal skins and carry them to the Lion and Wolf tribe. If he was going to take Chen Qi with him this year, he would naturally not be able to use the previous method to carry the animal skins. .

"It's only ten dollars?" Chen Qi frowned, it's not worth it for a large pack of animal hides to exchange for only such a small amount of salt stone, it's not enough for a year. "Is there no other way to get more?"

"If it is made of animal skins like Uncle Ali did, it will be doubled."

Chen Qi rolled his eyes, "What if it was made into a backpack?"

Aze lowered his head and thought for a while, something like a backpack may not be very useful for females who go hunting, but it is a very convenient tool for orcs who go out to pick, "It may be more than animal skins. "

Chen Qi clapped his palm, "Then I'll make some backpacks to exchange at the rally."

Chen Qi said it and did it. He found a dozen or so tough and thin animal skins and went back to the main house to fiddle with it. Because this time it was a commodity that was intended to be exchanged, Chen Qihua's mind was naturally a little more, although the style was still very simple. , but they all have two more side pockets sewn on the side, so that you can put some extra odds and ends.

Looking at Chen Qi who was busy, Aze hesitated for a while but couldn't help but ask: "Chen Qi, do you know how to carry more things while carrying people?" Only that bag of animal skins can There is very little exchange.

"Carry more things when you are carrying people?" Chen Qi raised his head and saw A Ze looking at him seriously. Chen Qi thought about it for a while before he realized that he would naturally need A Ze to carry him when he wanted to go to the Lion and Wolf Tribe, but if A Ze carried him, he would not be able to carry too much goods. This does not mean that A Ze has too little strength. , but the orcs don't know how to take more things while carrying people, which is also the reason why Azer had to throw away the animal skins that couldn't be taken before he brought Chen Qilai to the tribe.

"There are too few salt stones that can be replaced now, not enough for next year." Aze explained that when he used salt stones to cook food directly, the taste was not very good. Basically, it can be used for several months. Now, half of the salt stone is almost used up to pickle a warthog. Naturally, it is not enough.

Chen Qi thought about it, found a wooden stick of moderate length, picked up the rope used to carry the stego-keel, went to the utility room, and asked A Ze, who followed behind with a confused look, "Which animal skins are Are you going to exchange it?"

Aze pointed to the pile of animal skins in the corner that were as tall as one person.

Chen Qi walked over, rolled up the animal skins tightly one by one, and then tied them with root wires. After about thirty or forty pieces were rolled up, they were **** with ropes. In this way, another bundle was made, and it was done. After that, he used a wooden stick to pass through the two piles of bundled animal skins, and waved to Aze, "Try to see if you can pick it up."

A Ze walked over, bent down, picked up the two large bundles of animal skins with ease, and took a few steps forward, "If I carry the animal skins like this, I can carry you on my back."

Chen Qi silently spurned himself for a few seconds because he was a drag.

So when they assembled the next day, A Zhang saw A Ze carrying a wooden stick on his shoulder. Two piles of animal skins that were almost half human height were tied with ropes on the wooden stick. In front of him was a bulging animal skin backpack. , with Chen Qi on his back, and behind Chen Qi there is a bulging animal skin backpack, A Ze's whole body is like being submerged in animal skins, and A Zhang's head is full of black lines when he sees it.

There are also three female sons with A Zhang. Two of them look older than A Zhang, with more wrinkles on their faces and some white hair on their temples. The other is younger, Chen Qi, who I have seen before. , is a female named Ale.

Although these people don't have Azerto, they have a bulging animal skin backpack in front of and behind them, and an extra bundle of animal skins are tied to the animal skin backpack at the back. Everyone wants to take advantage of the annual gathering. Try to bring as little as possible to exchange.

A-Zhang looked at the obvious dark circles on Chen Qi's face, "What did you do last night? Why do you look like you haven't slept all night."

Chen Qiqi patted the backpack behind him, "I sewed some animal skin backpacks overnight last night, and I plan to take them to the rally to exchange for more salt stones."

A Zhang was stunned for a while. A Li also made a bunch of animal skin backpacks overnight at home yesterday, and now he is carrying a large bag of animal skin backpacks and a large bag of animal skin coats.

The Lion and Wolf Tribe is located in the inland direction of the Dora Plain, close to one of the tributaries of the Dosa River. To go inland, it is natural to cross the Chishui River.

At a slightly narrow estuary, there is a tree trunk about 20 meters across the river bank. The trunk is very new and has no signs of decay at all. It looks like it has just been moved here these days. .

Several people crossed the tree trunk bridge and ran all the way in the direction of the Lion and Wolf Tribe.

Although Aze was carrying a bunch of things, his speed was not slower than other females at all. Even if he ran down one day, he didn't look angry at all.

Chen Qi found that Aze was basically silent to the other females except for a few words with A-Zhang occasionally. People walk side by side. Others are accustomed to it, and they will not take the initiative to approach and talk to Azer, but there will be no disgust or disgust on their faces. When they see Azer, they will nod their heads in a friendly way, that's all. .

In the evening, everyone found a tall acacia tree to rest. Azer and Ale went hunting nearby, of course they went separately. Because Chen Qi had no strength at all, he took the initiative to start the fire while the others were busy looking for water and firewood. He also took out a pottery bowl and bamboo tube from his backpack and tied it to the bamboo tube. He opened the skin of the animal, poured the water in the bamboo tube into a pottery bowl and put it on the fire to heat it. He also took out a few dandelions and put them in the water, intending to make a bowl of scented tea.

A Ze came back not long after, carrying a treated warthog on his shoulders, and a few water milk fruits in his hands. A Ze handed two of them to Chen Qi, and the rest were given to him. A Zhang, then skewered the warthog with a wooden stick, and put it on the fire that Chen Qi had set up to bake slowly.

Ale came back late, but he also came back with a treated goral. Ale rubbed against the fire carelessly. Chen Qi obviously felt that Aze's body stiffened a bit, and then he moved away from the fire without a trace. heap place.

This is, there is a rift with the people in the tribe? Or simply not used to getting along with people? But usually they get along quite naturally with Ali Azhang. Chen Qi was a little worried, and when he was distributing the boiled tea to others, he quietly walked to A-Chang to find out what was going on.

A Zhang took the bamboo tube that Chen Qi handed over, looked at A Ze who was sitting in the corner, and sighed, "This has something to do with his father and Carlo's father, don't ask more about it. , if you want to know, let Aze tell you."

Seeing that A-Zhang didn't want to say more, Chen Qi leaned back to A-Ze's side and handed the brewed flower tea to A-Ze, "You must be exhausted after walking so long, drink some tea to relieve fatigue."

A Ze took the pottery bowl over. In fact, he was not tired at all. He wanted to help with the barbecue, but Chen Qi didn't let him intervene. Chen Qi cut up one of the rutas and put them in the water pile, then cut some pork from the warthog and put them in the ruta to make broth.

Because Chen Qi is a male son, he was naturally arranged to be on the tallest and largest trunk of the acacia tree when he was resting at night, and Aze naturally stayed with Chen Qi.

The rest of the journey was peaceful along the way. It was also at this time that Chen Qi knew how huge the migratory army on the Dora Plain was. It was not a group of hundreds or thousands of animals, but a group of tens of thousands of animals together. Moving in the same direction, a huge passage is completely stepped out of the place where it passes, and the animals that catch up behind will follow this road to the final destination.

The orcs did not shy away, perhaps they had already figured out the law of animal migration after attending the rally for so many years. There would not be animals blocking the way on their way, but relying on these migratory armies, they would not lack of food.

Three days later, Chen Qi saw three tall rocky mountains from a distance. The rocky mountains here are much taller and steeper than the small rocky mountain of the Yanshan tribe. Inside the huge semicircle surrounded.

The Lion-Wolf tribe is the same as the Yanshan tribe. There are guards squatting on the tall acacia trees outside the tribe. When they see a few people coming, they jump down from the tree and ask a few questions about which tribe they belong to. At this time, the orc tribe is naturally There is no such thing as a visit registration.

Chen Qi thought that a large tribe like the Lion and Wolf tribe would be much more organized than the Yanshan tribe. It was not until he approached the tribe that he realized how cruel the reality was. There were several rotten tree trunks outside the tribe as barriers. Ordinary jackals can’t stop it. Like the Yanshan tribe, the houses are built in a mess. Each building is narrow and small, and there is no complete road. It needs to follow the muddy road that looks like an alley. walk.
