Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

One more earth kiln was built to burn bricks, and now the two earth kilns are burning mud bricks almost day and night. These mud bricks are not only used to build the city wall, but also the roads in the tribe. Chen Qi also plans to use mud bricks to lay them. After all, the slate still needs to be reserved for building houses.

The construction of the school began after all the houses where the tribe lived. The school only had three rooms, one for ordinary classrooms intended to teach orcs to learn Chinese characters, and one with several stoves for teaching beasts. People learn cooking techniques, and the last room is used to learn handcraft.

Although the house has been built, it will take some time to build the desks inside, so there is no hurry to open it. On the other hand, in outdoor places such as playgrounds, because summer is approaching, the surrounding weeds are full of weeds, and the weeds can't be identified until they bloom and bear fruit. Chen Qi plans to wait for the surrounding weeds to grow taller after a while. See if there is anything that can be used and then dispose of them. Anyway, it will take a long time to complete the construction of the wall, so you can take your time.

The next day after Ajing received Chen Qi's task, he called all the orcs who were still underage in the tribe. There were only three of them, except Ajing who was the youngest, followed by Azhu, and the remaining two Although the female is also very thin, she is already seventeen or eighteen years old, approaching adulthood, and her body will not be stunted like Ah Zhu, and she can already faintly see the shadow of a strong female in the future.

Because Azhu came here once, he was not as nervous as at the beginning, but the other two females were restrained, their hands and feet were stiff, and they even dared to sit on the side of the chair. Chen Qi Lao was worried that they would not get out of the chair. fall down.

Chen Qi didn't start teaching them to learn Chinese characters right away, but asked Ajing to take out the stories he had written on the gum leaves, read the characters on them to a few people, not many, and read them every morning. In one article, Chen Qi also assigned an illustration to each story, so that they would have a stronger sense of substitution by watching the illustration and listening to the story.

The orcs had never heard of stories, and after listening to them a few times, they became fascinated by the story lessons every morning. Every day before dawn, they automatically ran to the door and waited for A Jing to get up and read the stories to them. The words written on the leaves were also full of interest. Of course, they were more interested in the charcoal drawings drawn on the wooden boards. Unfortunately, just touching them with their hands would erase the drawings. When I look around, I even breathe lightly.

It was probably after a few visits that they became familiar with them, and the little girls were no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning. Now Chen Qi asked them to have breakfast together and sat at the table obediently. A Jing is also like a little adult, he has learned ten percent from what Chen Qi taught him at the beginning, and he can see that Chen Qi is full of black lines.

Chen Qi twisted a potato seedling that was completely shriveled and frowned. Did he water too much? Or is the soil not rich enough? Or are the plants here unfit to be dug up and replanted? Chen Qi regretted that because he found a few potato seedlings, he was excited to fry the last few potatoes that had been saved for a winter into French fries.

"Aze, let's not plant potatoes first." Chen Qi rubbed the dead potato seedlings and turned the soil over again with a bone hoe.

A Ze took out a few wild **** seedlings with soil in the backpack, saw Chen Qi's slightly disappointed expression, and comforted: "It's just summer, there should be a lot of potatoes nearby, I can go to find them tomorrow. Some come back, you don't have to worry, there will always be something to support."

After the beginning of summer, Aze never went out hunting. Every day he was busy building a tribe or looking for seedlings of plants that Chen Qi needed. Now, almost all the things planted on the grounds in the yard were found by Aze.

A Zhang would bring a newly formed hunting team into the forest every three days, and the prey returned from the hunt was equally divided among the heads of everyone in the tribe, plus the occasional big fish caught in the Chishui River, now the tribe Others in the house have also started to implement the three-meal system like Chen Qi and the others, so they don't need to worry about the lack of food.

Chen Qi shook his head, took over the wild **** seedlings in Aze's hand, first dug a suitable hole in the loose soil, then put the wild **** seedlings in, buried them with soil, poured a little water, lightly Gently brushing the green leaves of wild ginger, he replied, "Didn't you say that the fruits on the plains will ripen in about three months? Instead of messing around here, wait until you harvest wild potatoes. Let's keep planting."

In just a month or so, the potato seedlings have been planted by him for three rounds, and the mortality rate is much higher than that of other plants. Chen Qi's heart is in pain. Anyway, wild potatoes are not small. It’s all dug up, and I’ll have to go further afield to look for it in the future. Let’s try to save the seedlings after harvesting one round. Maybe the survival rate will be a little higher than the current method of digging the seedlings back and planting them directly.

Aze doesn't know anything about planting. Since Chen Qi said that he will wait until the potatoes on the plain are harvested, he will silently write down this matter in his heart. Next time, try to find a place where the potatoes grow densely. Potatoes can be dug directly when they are ripe.

"Chen Qi." Ah Zhang shouted from outside the courtyard gate, and then stepped in. Chen Qi raised his head and saw other people in the tribe behind him.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Chen Qi stood up, and before he could clean up the dirt on his hands, he hurried up to meet him.

"I heard from A Jing that you asked him to teach a few underage females to learn Chinese characters. Now that I have nothing to do at night, I brought the rest of the tribe over and I want them to learn with A Jing first." Zhang also knew that Chen Qi stayed in the yard every day to serve the fields with plants, so he didn't plan to let Chen Qi teach him personally. Anyway, they all studied with A Jing. Looking at it from the side, I believe that it is enough to let Ajingjiao.

Chen Qi was stunned for a while, looking at the gray-haired and wrinkled old men walking in front of them, imagining A Jing's small body standing in front of them and posing as a serious little teacher, how could he be so disobedient Woolen cloth.

Chen Qi didn't want to let them stand outside the courtyard and talk, so he quickly let everyone into the courtyard. It's already evening, and the sun will go down in a few minutes. Relying on the fire, it is naturally impossible to squeeze all the hot weather into the room. Chen Qi asked Aze to move a few animal skin blankets and spread them under the fig tree. Chen Qi had already arranged an open space for activities. It was just right for twenty or thirty people to sit together.

"Your yard is quite neat." As soon as Ale came in, he looked around curiously and envied. Although his house also built a yard, the yard is now full of knee-high weeds. I'm afraid that after a while, those weeds will grow taller than the wall, naturally not as good as what Chen Qi looks like here. tidy.

Summer is not as cold as winter. Chen Qi doesn't need to go back to bed early at night. His house is not short of oil. A gravel road was paved, and even a small open space was paved with flagstones under the fig tree. A table and several wooden benches were placed on it. At night, I was tired and sat under the tree, making a pot of tea and enjoying the wind. Moon is indescribably pleasant.

"You can organize things like me when you have time, and try to grow something yourself. It's comfortable to look at." Chen Qi suggested with a smile.

Ale waved his hands again and again, "This thing can't survive, so I won't waste my energy." Then he rubbed up to Axu and sat down.

Ah Le is right, once the plants on the plain are dug up, moved to a place and replanted, the survival rate is very low. Now in the tribe, apart from Chen Qi, only the Ah Li family has opened a few plots for planting.

It's strange to say that, obviously in the same way, the survival rate of the things that Ali planted is higher than that of Chen Qi. At least two of the potato seedlings planted by Ali still survived, and Chen Qi's army was immediately wiped out. Chen Qi had to wonder if he had no talent for planting.

Seeing that Ale is not interested in planting, Chen Qi is not reluctant. He is still in the experimental stage, and it is not too late to teach them planting after the survival rate of plants has been improved.

A Jing, who was originally doing Chen Qi's daily homework in the room, heard the movement in the yard and came out. Perhaps because there were so many people, the little wolf cub didn't follow him as usual, but hid at the door. Looking back, he looked curiously at the crowd waiting in the yard.

A Ze boiled a pottery plate of flower tea in a pottery plate. After summer, there may not be too much food, but the only thing that is not lacking is all kinds of flowers. Chen Qi did not dare to pick all the flowers, and only picked a few. Aze, who he recognizes, also said that he collected some without any problem, dried it and soaked a little to drink.

Now Aze is soaking a flower similar to a daisy. After being dried by Chen Qi, he soaks it with water. The shriveled petals stretch out in the water, which is really beautiful.

Naturally, there are not enough cups at home. Fortunately, there are a lot of bamboo tubes in the past. Each bamboo tube is filled with half-bamboo tea, and I ask A Jing to help deliver it to the people in the yard.

A Zhang sent the people to him and said hello to A Ze before leaving. The clay kiln for burning bricks could not be turned off, and A Li was watching over there. fire away.

A Li and A Zhang became partners before the summer, but only a few people who lived together in winter knew about it, and they didn't even tell A Xu. Although A Zhang felt that it was okay to say it, A Li thought The fact that two females are together will never get the blessing of the beast god, so it's better to keep a low profile and a few people know about it, so no one tells it.

Their mate ritual couldn't transfer information to the same shadow stone like Chen Qi and Azer did. But now the bone ring engraved on the ring finger has replaced the shadow stone's place in their hearts. The inside of the bone ring is engraved with the other party's name, as if the other party has always been by their side.

Chen Qi originally planned to teach the people in the tribe to learn knowledge, but only wanted to arrange courses for them after the school was officially opened.

He asked Aze to help make dozens of wooden boards the size of a slap. Instead of giving a lecture to these people right away, he looked around at the people with a dazed and curious look on their faces and asked, "You know yourselves. What's your name like?"
