Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

The traps set up around the house had been unable to catch the prey for a long time, so Chen Qi removed all the traps. The Dora Plain began to become silent, and the migrating fauna that had been seen everywhere a while ago disappeared, and even the chirping of night bugs gradually became inaudible at night.

Chen Qi always worried that A Ze's movements would tear the wound. He was reluctant to let him go hunting in the past few days before winter. Anyway, there were a lot of things to do at home, and the food stored before was enough for the two of them for a month or two. , In order not to let Azeti go hunting, Chen Qi gave the two large bags of salt stones exchanged to Aze, and asked Aze to refine the salt stones.

In addition to the two newly made slate beds in the new home, there are only a few large bags of wild fruits brought back during this period. Chen Qi melted a pomegranate, and glued several wooden boxes with wooden boards. The wires were bundled in several layers, and all the roots of the banyan tree near the house had been picked by Chen Qi.

In the utility room, Chen Qi made a row of wooden shelves with only one layer. The bottom is made of thick wooden stakes to bear the load. On the top of the wooden stakes, a shallow fixing groove was dug with a sword-angle knife and coated with glue and fruit liquid. Then he embedded the wooden board. Although the production is rough, it is very practical. Chen Qi also climbed up and jumped twice to test its bearing capacity. Yes, but these two are going to be much more refined, the planks have been sanded, and planks have been added to the bottom and back of the shelves to look more like a cabinet.

Chen Qi cleaned out the animal skins in Aze's original house, and stayed in the same room with the cured meat for too long. While the sun is good, put the hide on a hanger to dry to remove the smell. I used a lot of animal skins in order to exchange more salt stones before, but now there are only less than 20 animal skins left that can be used. They are the softest and warmest animal skins that Azer deliberately left behind. The touch is also very good.

"Woooo." The little wolf cub stumbled out of the house. This little thing grows very fast. It only slept in the nest for two days when it was just picked up. Now it can run a few steps down the ground.

Chen Qi crouched down to catch the little wolf cub running towards him. The little wolf cub was still the size of a slap, but his hair was a little longer and fluffy. The round golden eyes seemed to be full of mist and wet, as if a few golden peas would drop at any time, which made Chen Qi's whole person sprouted.

However, the little wolf cub was obviously not interested in Chen Qi's actions, he stopped outside his reach, whimpered twice, twisted his butt, and ran home again.

"Chen Qi, it's time to eat." A Ze came out of the room, saw the little wolf cub running back, squatted down and picked it up, the little wolf cub tilted his head in satisfaction, stretched out his pink tongue and licked it Azer's fingers.

Chen Qi looked at the flattering face of the little wolf cub and ground his back molars.

Today is the fourth month without sun after the first snow. The sun in the morning is still bright, and the temperature remains as warm and pleasant as usual. It is really hard for Chen Qi to imagine that it will be winter here tomorrow. After drying the animal skins, follow Aze into the house.

A Ze first took the little wolf cub back to its special wooden plate, and poured half a milk fruit into the small wooden plate.

Chen Qi's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but complain, "Is this guy really a wolf **** and not a dog?"

"Dog?" Aze was a little puzzled, "It looks different from a dog, and the wolf gods are not as ferocious as dogs. They only hunt prey they can eat, unlike dogs, who want to bite any creature that can eat. One bite. Even though the pups are a little smaller now, they're not as big as dogs when they're adults."

There are creatures such as wild dogs and hyenas on the Dora Plain. They are not the same as domestic dogs, and their ferocity can even compete with lions. Of course, this challenge is not about the strength of a single fight, but about the group. attack power.

Chen Qi didn't explain much, and sat by the fire to see what food Azer made in the morning. Breakfast was a small plate of rice cereal and a few boiled sweet potatoes. The rice cereal was cooked with rice berries that were picked before. There were only two, and they were all cooked after this meal.

A Ze took a peek at Chen Qi's satisfied sip of rice cereal, hesitated for a moment, but still took an unusually smooth wooden stick that was polished and handed it to Chen Qi, "Chen Qi, the prototype of the wooden bow. I've polished it."

The previous wooden bow was lost while being chased by the locust dragon. When Chen Qi was working on the wooden shelf, Aze always wanted to come and help. After all, most of the time when making salt stones, it was just waiting for the salt water to be dried. stare. Seeing that he couldn't be idle, Chen Qi asked him to make another wooden bow. This time, he had plenty of time, so he naturally needed to polish it more carefully.

Chen Qi took the wooden bow over, and the handle was smooth, and the grip was more than half a star better than the previous one. Seeing that Chen Qi was satisfied, Aze breathed a sigh of relief. "Chen Qi, the rice berries have already been cooked. Although there are still rice berries after winter, the taste of rice berries picked after winter will be unpalatable. At that time, dragons will appear on the periphery of the forest, and it will be difficult to find rice berries. ."

Chen Qi looked at A Ze who wanted to go out in a serious manner. A Ze actually didn't want to go out at this time, but a lot of plants that the two had collected before were lost when they were chased by the Locust Dragon. He knew that Chen Qi If I don't like it, it's all meat. The animals that can migrate on the Dora Plain have almost gone. At this time, even if Chen Qi stays at home alone, there will be no accident. Aze wants to take advantage of the last day to go. The forest picks some food back.

"I'll take a look at your wound." Chen Qi didn't answer, he put down the pottery bowl in his hand and said to Aze.

A Ze pursed his lips, and still sat obediently in front of Chen Qi and took off the animal skin coat. Chen Qi carefully untied the bandage, the plantain had been used up before, and the shreds applied to the wound were replaced by thistle. Chen Qi cleaned up Xiao Ji, who had been covering him all night, and had to sigh about the orc's incredible healing ability. Chen Qi's fingers crossed the pink scar, "Does it still hurt?"

Azese shrank, feeling that the place where Chen Qi's fingers crossed was numb and itchy, he shook his head, afraid that Chen Qi would not be able to see, and said again, "It doesn't hurt, it's all right."

Chen Qi helped him change a new bandage, and reluctantly said to Aze while doing it: "Go if you want, but you must come back before the sun goes down."

A Ze's eyes lit up, he turned his head suddenly, Chen Qi was bowing his head to tie the bandage, the two were too close, A Ze's forehead just hit Chen Qi's forehead, the sound of "dong" scared A Zeyi Jump, "Chen Qi, are you alright?" A Ze asked nervously.

Chen Qi rubbed his reddened forehead, his eyes misted from the pain.

"Chen Qi, does it hurt? I'm sorry, don't cry, or I'll let you bump back."

Chen Qi looked at A Ze's helpless appearance, and suddenly felt a little funny, "I'm fine."

"Really? Don't lie to me, you are crying in pain." A Ze didn't believe it.

The corners of Chen Qi's mouth twitched, which were obviously physiological tears. Afraid that Aze would hold on to this topic, he quickly changed the subject and said, "It's really okay, aren't you going to the forest? If you don't leave, you won't be able to come back in the evening."

Aze repeatedly confirmed that Chen Qi was really fine before he went to get a few animal skin backpacks and went out. After eating and drinking, the little wolf cub went back to its den and slept. After sending Aze away, Chen Qi felt that the place was terribly silent, except for the occasional rustling of the wind blowing through the grass. voices of other creatures.

"Little wolf cub, you will become a pig if you go to sleep, do you want to get up and play?" Chen Qi asked while flicking the little wolf cub's forehead.

The little wolf cub didn't buy his account, let Chen Qi do what he did without opening his eyes, and still fell asleep.

Chen Qi was helpless and could only find something to do to distract himself.

He first pulled the wooden bow prototype to a suitable arc and fixed it. Thinking of the water lactulose that he had forgotten halfway through, he quickly turned it out and found that the colloid, which was in the state of syrup before, turned into a solid at some point. Chen Qi took a small piece and looked at it. It has a certain hardness, and the milky white has no tendency to deteriorate. Chen Qi licked it with his tongue and tasted it. It was very sweet and the taste was normal. Chen Qi was overjoyed. He used a bamboo tube to collect the sugar cubes. There were still two or three milk nuts at home. Chen Qi did not hesitate to boil the remaining milk fruits into syrup and put them aside to wait for the sugar lumps to form.

On the day when Azer was away, Chen Qi felt that the time was so long for the first time. His coat had been tattered by himself before, but Azer brought back both of his torn sleeves. The cloth was moved to the fire, and a few large animal skins were spread on the ground, and the cloth was placed on it, intending to sew the tattered coat and then make a few new shirts.

Azer really came back before the sun went down. In addition to the backpacks he brought from home, he brought back two backpacks they had lost before. He didn't even know where he found the rough wooden bow. Yes, and brought them back together. He tied so many things together with vines and carried them back with wooden sticks as poles. Fortunately, Azer was very strong, and it was easy to carry things several times heavier than him.

Chen Qi didn't fall asleep at night, and the fire in the house was burning vigorously. Chen Qi sat in front of the door, planning to see how winter would come.

When it was close to midnight, Aze took two animal skins and put them on Chen Qi. He also changed into a thicker animal skin. A little bit of coldness fell on Chen Qi's nose.

A Ze sat next to Chen Qi, looked at the dark night outside, and whispered, "Winter is coming."

Chen Qi suddenly realized that the drop was not a drop of water, but snow.
