Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

Not far from the water pool, the two discovered a small cave that was very suitable for hiding. The cave was located in a small mountain wall. The entrance of the cave was only half a person high enough to accommodate one person, but the space inside was about ten square meters. After Chen Qi helped Aze into the cave, he first picked some soft branches and leaves around and laid a simple mattress, and then put some large pieces of Pu leaves on it before letting Aze lie down.

After walking such a short distance, Aze's wound oozes out a lot of blood. Willow leaves probably have anti-inflammatory effect, but obviously the hemostatic effect is not very good, especially for such a large area of ​​​​wound.

"I'm fine." A Ze raised his head slightly, his speech was slow, but his words were clear. Now this lying posture makes him unable to see Chen Qi's expression, "This kind of injury will be cured for a while."

"Well." Chen Qi squatted down and patted Aze's hand for comfort, "Then you lie down and sleep for a while, okay?"

"Okay." Aze closed his eyes obediently.

Chen Qi gently brushed away a strand of watery hair that slid down from Aze's forehead, turned and left the cave. He first found some thorny thorns to make some barriers, sealed the hole tightly, leaving only a small hole near the mountain wall for ventilation. Then I found some dry branches and lit a small fire in the cave. Fortunately, the lighter that Aze carried with him was waterproof. No fire.

There are a lot of plantains not far from the river bank. Chen Qicai came back, mashed it with stones, replaced the willow leaves and applied it to Aze's wound. The shirt bandage was always wet, and Chen Qi was dried on the fire. After that, Aze was re-tied. Aze's original animal skin coat was dried by Chen Qi and then placed under Aze's body to make a mattress. The cave was warmed by the firelight, and he was not afraid of cold.

A Ze didn't sleep peacefully, and Chen Qi opened his eyes a little bit to make sure that Chen Qi was well in front of him, and then slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. Chen Qi was a little helpless, so he could only move lightly and try not to make any noise.

It was getting dark after one round. Fortunately, Chen Qi found a rice berry and a water milk fruit next to the cave. The rice berry fruit tree is relatively tall. Chen Qi found a long branch and finally stabbed a few. When I got down, it turned out that because the shell of the rice berry was not hard enough, it broke two when it hit the ground, and the white viscous liquid flowed all over the ground.

Chen Qi was a little helpless, picked up the other two rice berries and water milk fruit that were not broken, and returned to the cave. The sky was completely dark, and the layers of trees in the forest covered the moonlight, and the night bugs began to revel in the unscrupulous night.

Chen Qi sorted out the thorns and the curtains, and was relieved after confirming that the fire light would not spread to the outside through the thorns. In such a forest, sometimes fire is not an omnipotent weapon to drive away predators, but instead becomes a bait to attract predators to come and inspect, Chen Qi dare not take the risk.

When picking plantains, Chen Qi found a wild ginger. He chopped the wild **** into pieces, poured the rice berries into the milk nut shell, mixed the minced ginger, and slowly boiled it in the fire , if there are only rice berries, the boiled rice paste is too thick. Chen Qi added a little water and milk fruit to mix it together. After a while, the cave was filled with a strong aroma of rice. Chen Qi dipped a little and tasted it. The taste is very similar to the rice porridge I ate before, but the flavor of the rice is stronger, and after adding water and milk fruit, it has a sweet taste, and the taste is not bad.

Chen Qi cooled the boiled rice paste, and then used a newly made wooden spoon to slowly feed A Ze. A Ze ate slowly, but as long as Chen Qi told him to open his mouth, he opened his mouth. The cold and hard image is very different, very well-behaved.

After eating a small half of the rice cereal with a husk, Aze stopped eating it and turned his head slightly to show his refusal. Chen Qi could only let him lie down and sleep. He hurriedly ate the rest of the rice cereal, and then boiled it again. I took a portion and put it on the fire to warm it slowly, intending to wait for Azer to feel better before feeding it to the other party.

Even though Chen Qi has been paying attention to A Ze's situation, A Ze still had a fever without warning in the middle of the night. After running around all day, Chen Qi closed his eyes tired and fell asleep. He heard a burst of depression in the hazy He was awakened by the uncomfortable humming sound, and found that A Ze's face was flushed strangely. He reached out and touched the other's forehead, and the temperature was amazingly hot.

"Aze, Aze, what's the matter with you?" Chen Qi called Aze's name softly, Aze frowned uncomfortably, but did not respond to Chen Qi's call.

Chen Qi took a deep breath to calm himself down, used a sword-horn knife to cut off one sleeve of his coat and used it as a towel, and gently wiped off the sweat from Azer's fever.

After finishing it, he quickly made a small torch. Now he is very glad that the place they chose to live is not far from the river bank. Chen Qi sharpened a wooden stick for self-defense, and took a water milk nut shell to the river bank to fetch water.

The second half of the night is destined to be a sleepless night. Chen Qi went back and forth from the cave to the river bank several times. Except for a few falls due to the rough road, he did not encounter any predators that he couldn't deal with. When it was almost dawn, the temperature of Aze slowly slowed down. After descending, Chen Qi used a cloth strip dipped in water and milk fruit juice to moisten Azer's already chapped lips.

A Ze slowly opened his eyes. After he fell into the pool yesterday, he was confused for a while. Later, even if he closed his eyes, his consciousness was clear. He knew when Chen Qi left the cave and when he came back. When to change your medicine, when to feed yourself, when to wipe your hot body with a cold cloth, and so on. He really wanted to wake up at that time and tell the other party that he was fine, but his eyelids seemed to be heavy, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open them.

"Are you awake?" Chen Qi's voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't had a good night's rest. Seeing that Aze finally woke up, the big stone that he had mentioned all night in his heart finally fell.

"Yeah." Azer's voice was equally hoarse and unpleasant because of his illness. After realizing that his voice was different, he pursed his lips and stopped talking, but he couldn't move his eyes away from Chen Qi's haggard face with heavy dark circles for a long time. .

"Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" Chen Qi asked softly.

A Ze nodded with complicated eyes. In his memory, even his father had never tried to speak to him so tenderly.

Chen Qi brought over the rice cereal that had been warm all night, and added some chopped plantain to it. After the fever subsided, Aze was barely able to sit up, and Chen Qi let him lean on him and feed him a spoonful.

"Eat some, too." The rice paste moistened his dry throat, and Aze's voice was not as hoarse as before.

"I'll eat after you finish." Chen Qi coaxed.

Chen Qi turned out that beautiful coat was torn to tatters by himself long ago, and there were several bruises on the exposed skin. Aze saw that the end of his eyes were red, he shook his head and insisted that he would only eat it unless Chen Qi also ate it. . Chen Qi was helpless, so he could only feed A Ze a mouthful, and he also took a mouthful with a spoon. A rice paste with a water, milk and nut shell is naturally not enough for two adult men. Chen Qi asked A Ze to lean against the wall of the cave to digest and digest, and did it again by himself. A husk rice cereal.

After the two were full, Chen Qi asked Aze to rest first. The rice berries had already been eaten, and he wanted to pick some more during the day. Aze was a little worried, but with his current physical condition he couldn't stop the other party, so he could only tell him to be careful to go early and go back early not to get too far from the cave. After Chen Qiyi responded, Aze closed his eyes and rested. After the orc was injured, letting his body fall asleep was the fastest way to recover.

Chen Qi really didn't dare to go too far. On the one hand, he was worried about Aze, and on the other hand, he was afraid of encountering predators. He cleaned up the traces he walked last night, and also found some strong-smelling weeds and put them in the cave. Around to cover the smell of the two. I picked enough rice berries and milk fruit for today, and then I picked a lot of plantain again and went back to change the medicine for Aze, and after adding new firewood to the fire, Chen Qi, who had been busy all day and night, was already tired. Nope, leaning beside Aze almost instantly fell asleep.

It was already night when Chen Qi woke up again. He didn't expect that he had slept for so long. His unguarded behavior in the forest was almost fatal. Fortunately, there were no traces of animals approaching this side during this time. , Chen Qi couldn't help but feel fortunate.

A Ze has been able to sit up by himself, and looks much better than in the morning, looking at Chen Qi with burning eyes.

Chen Qi rubbed his arm, which was sore and numb from falling asleep in the same motion for a long time, and asked apologetically, "Are you hungry? Let me cook you some rice cereal?"

Aze nodded, "Okay."

Chen Qi poured the rice berries into the husk and boiled them, and then went to check the condition of Aze. The wound had begun to show signs of healing. Chen Qi secretly relieved and changed the plantain again. : "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Azer shook his head, "I'm fine."

Chen Qi smiled, "It's fine."

The two ate rice cereal again, and Aze suggested to go home tomorrow, Chen Qi was a little worried, "You are not fit for the journey right now, are you?"

"Just get another night's sleep, don't worry. It's winter in two days, and we can't go to winter in the forest."

In winter, Chen Qi remembered the coldness he felt when he first came to this world. The winter here is more than a star and a half lower than the temperature when it first snowed. If they stayed in the forest with their equipment, they would only end up freezing to death. Chen Qi was silent for a while and did not object, "Then you have a good rest, check your physical condition tomorrow morning, and if we can act, we will go back."

"Well." Aze slowly lay back on the straw mat covered with the animal skin coat, watched Chen Qi check his wound again for signs of being torn, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Chen Qi was stunned for a while, and rubbed A Ze's soft hair amusingly, "What did you say? You don't need to apologize to me."

"I didn't protect you well." I want you to take care of the injured me.

"You have protected me from the locust dragon." Chen Qi comforted: "Don't think too much, get a good night's sleep, I need you to take me home tomorrow, I can't tell the direction of leaving the forest. ."

"Well, okay, I'll take you home tomorrow." The corner of Aze's mouth rose slightly, and then he fell into a deep sleep. He needed to recover his strength as soon as possible.
