Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

Even during the migration period, the fishes in Luoshui Lake are seldom hunted by orcs, so they are not afraid of their approach at all, and even some fish will take the initiative to swim beside the orcs, and the water on the water surface is basked by the sun during the day It got hot, and the shadow cast by the bamboo raft became the best place for the fish to avoid the poisonous sunlight, and naturally they gathered a lot.

A Xu and A Xu almost don't need to move, just spread the fishing net under the water, wait for the fish to swim in, and then slowly pull up the net from the four corners, you can harvest a lot of big fish, small in size It had long since escaped from the cracks in the fishing net, but the orcs didn't care. In less than an hour, they had harvested prey that took days to harvest than before.

Because of the rare harvest, Achu called all the clansmen out to hold a party in a shaded place beside the rocky mountain, and asked Axu to teach the people how to deal with the newly obtained fish.

Chen Qi has long been attracted by the huge lobster. He asked Ah Shu to move the largest pottery plate in his house, and then found a bamboo sieve with a relatively large gap and placed it in the pottery plate. Add an appropriate amount of water, wash the lobster, put it in directly, and steam it.

While Chen Qi was drooling at the big lobster, A Chu came over with a female from the Yanshan tribe.

Chen Qi had seen this female, it was the middle-aged female with white ears and temples who had been talking with A Chu before. She looked more mature than A Chu, with a thinner forehead, and she couldn't see her profile clearly before. At this moment, the two of them stood in front of Chen Qi and looked closely, but they felt that the eyebrows and eyes of the two were a bit similar.

A Chu also called A Xu over, and then pointed to the female son beside him and introduced them to a few people: "This is a member of the Yanshan tribe, and also my brother, his name is Ayan." Several people introduced Ayan.

"Hello." Ayan nodded slightly to the group. Even though Ayan's appearance was only a little older than Achu's, she was actually over a hundred years old. Of course, this age was still in the prime of life among the long-lived orcs.

A Chu told several people the purpose of bringing Ayan here. In short, the Yanshan tribe also wanted to participate in this year's gathering of Qi Zecheng and Luoshui tribes.

"Maybe you don't need flint anymore, but if you need something, our tribe can help you find it." Although the Yanshan tribe is located on the edge of the forest, there are not many things that can be exchanged for them. The Yanshan tribe only brought their specialty flints to the rally. Since the last time they went to the meeting, there was a way to start a fire without flint, so the people of this year's meeting of the Yanshan tribe were giving them a headache. What else can I get in exchange.

This time, I had to come to the Luoshui tribe, but Ayan had an unexpected harvest. Although it was not long, almost the entire Luoshui tribe was talking about a male named Chen Qi, which had to make Ayan pay more attention. point.

Seeing Ayan staring at him, Chen Qi quickly pushed Axu in front of a few people, and let the professional people do the communication between the tribes. He should concentrate on cooking his lobster.

"We don't have anything special for the time being. If you want to come to the meeting, just bring a flint. Drilling wood to make fire seems to be able to make fire, but it's actually a bit troublesome to make." Xu took the topic and said.

Ayan retracted her gaze, nodded, and the group chatted about the gathering, during which Axu also asked about the current situation of the Xiayan Mountain tribe.

Last winter, the Yanshan tribe was almost the worst among the nearby tribes. The female and son who went to the meeting were attacked by the Hyena Dragon, and because of the absence of the meeting, they could not exchange enough salt stones and pottery, and the resources could only be Priority is given to those young and strong females who need to guard the tribe. Many people in the tribe have been lacking in salt intake for a long time and their health has begun to deteriorate. Many injured and old people have fallen down, although they took risks later. The Luoshui tribe exchanged salt stones, but not long after the beginning of the summer, they encountered the hyena dragon in the forest, and lost a lot of young females. Now the number of people in the tribe is almost half of that in the previous summer. People are already considering whether to find a powerful tribe to merge with.

I don’t know if nostalgia for the homeland is a common problem that goes deep in people’s blood no matter which world. Before the most serious time, the people of the Yanshan tribe just thought about this plan a few times in their hearts, but did not assign it to it. The plan of action, even if the tribe lacks food and clothing because they cannot hunt, they only intend to come to Luoshui Lake to hunt a little prey, rather than bring the tribes over to merge into the Luoshui tribe.

Chen Qi broke off a little shrimp and dipped it in the special sauce for Azer to taste. Every time he ate new seafood, he would only give Azer a little bit until Azer didn't show any discomfort or allergies. If the symptoms are like this, he will let the other party eat without worry. Don't blame Chen Qi for being overly cautious in this regard. He used to have a colleague who was allergic to prawns and went straight to the hospital after accidentally eating some. This incident made Chen Qi's memory particularly deep. You can only guard yourself a little bit.

Although he also mentioned to other orcs that if they feel unwell, they should stop eating them. I don’t know if the orcs’ bodies are too strong or they are not allergic to food. Chen Qi has not found anyone who can’t eat a certain food. grow food.

"You're too careful, why can't you eat the food?" Ah Shu didn't care so much, seeing that Chen Qi had already started tearing the lobster meat over there, he quickly grabbed a large piece, dipped it in a little sauce and stuffed it into his mouth. Those fried fish fillets or fried fish **** made from rice berry powder taste even better, so Ah Shu quickly grabbed another large piece of meat and handed it to Ah Chu, who was sitting beside him chatting happily.

A Ze glared at him and saved the share that belonged to Chen Qi when others were not paying attention. He is not a greedy person. Although he thinks this lobster is really delicious, he has no idea that he must eat it. , because he knew that Chen Qi was also worried about him, which was more important to him than any food.

After processing the lobster, Chen Qi was not in a hurry to eat it, but picked up a big fish they had eaten before and fry the fish fillet for Aze, found a thin slate, washed it, and put it on the fire. Use a piece of fresh fish fat to fry the oil, then put the thinly sliced ​​fish on it, use a feather brush to dip the sauce on the meat while frying, and then put it in Azer's earthenware bowl after frying Let him eat it while it's hot.

A Ze was worried that the lobster would not taste good when it cooled down, so he held up his chopsticks, while Chen Qi fry the fish fillet for him, while he fed Chen Qi the shrimp meat, the natural movement made A Shu couldn't help hugging himself The pottery bowl filled with food was moved in the direction of Ale, and because it was too close, Ale pushed it away in disgust.

In fact, although Chen Qi was busy in his hands, his ears were pricked up and he was listening to the three of them chatting. Achu and the others didn't know if they were worried that others would hear what they were chatting or if they were deliberately telling Chen Qi, their voices just kept in Chen Qi's voice. within the range that Kai can clearly hear.

A Xu has never been to the Yanshan tribe, so he asked more details about the Yanshan tribe. Chen Qi couldn't help but interrupted after listening to it: "The place where your tribe is rich in flint is a mountain with magma?"

Hearing Chen Qi's question, Ayan turned her head to look at him, "Yes, the fire stone is produced by absorbing the fire on the Yanshan Mountain."

Chen Qi thought for a while, "Then do you have a very strong and pungent stone there?"

Ayan shook her head, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to this. After I go back, I can ask the clansmen to go to Yanshan to find it."

Chen Qi's eyes lit up, "If you don't have it on Yanshan Mountain, you can look for it nearby. Maybe the stone is yellowish." If you can find the sulfur stone in the Yanshan tribe, you will have all the materials for making fire/powder. It's a pity that the Yanshan tribe is too far away from here, and it is almost a month's journey from the Yanshan tribe back to Qize City. If it is delayed for so long, I am afraid that the next winter will come, although Chen Qi really wants to. Go and see for yourself if there's really any sulphur there, but the traffic here is so bad that I can't help but give up.

Ayan nodded and silently kept this matter in her heart, planning to tell the clansmen to go back and find what Chen Qi needed first.

The so-called gathering of the orcs is just to eat and eat together, and there is no entertainment such as singing, dancing, playing games, etc. After filling their stomachs, everyone starts to move around and want to continue the fishing operation, because the operation method is too simple. , even those males in the tribe who have never hunted are a little eager to try.

At first, A Chu actually didn't want to let the males go into the water. After all, no matter how simple hunting they were, they would all be in the water. If they fell into the water, it would not be a fun thing. Later, Chen Qi asked them to put on a lifebuoy. He also tied a protective rope around his waist and let the females stare at him. A Chu finally nodded and agreed with their actions.

Once a person who has never hunted has caught the prey with his own hands, the feeling is indescribable. A dozen or so young males have completely snatched up the fishing work, and they alternately work from noon until the low tide.

Every day at low tide, some large creatures stay by the lake, and the males can only reluctantly return to the shore, but obviously there are no giant creatures worthy of the females today, and they harvested a lot in one afternoon, so clean up All of a sudden went home.

Because they had hunted enough prey and considering the current situation of the Yanshan tribe, Achu asked people to simply deal with all the prey and let the people of the Yanshan tribe take it back first, but Ayan and a young female were left behind. After coming down, the two planned to take this opportunity to go to Qize City first to see the situation.

Chen Qi and the others stayed in the Luoshui tribe for about three days. During this period, he took Aze around the rocky mountain group. Except for the discovery of two wild ginsengs, there was no special harvest. The wild ginseng has surprised Chen Qi very much.

A Xu and A Le are caught every day by the people of the Luoshui tribe, either by teaching how to make bows and arrows, making torches, telling stories or learning to swim, etc. They are busy until midnight every day before they are allowed to come back. In comparison, Chen Qi and A Ze are like two people. It was like a vacation. Later, Chen Qi also felt very sorry. After all, the people of the Luoshui tribe took away all their jobs. In the end, Chen Qi could only teach them how to make sugar and make sugar water and other food in return.

When they decided to go back to Qize City, A Xu and A Le both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. The people of the Luoshui tribe were too enthusiastic and they couldn't bear it, but the atmosphere of the people from the Luoshui tribe was much quieter. It was the first time they had come into contact with so many new things. Although it would take some time for them to fully digest them, they somehow felt a little bit dependent on the people in Qize City. The orcs would definitely be able to find a solution. After a period of time, they had a strong sense of reluctance. Later, they heard that the patriarch was going to organize a small group of people to help carry things to Qi Ze City. Fight for a spot.

As a result, there was only a team of six people when we came, and when we went back, it became a large team of more than 20 people.
