Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

Chen Qi picked up the animal skin and went into the house. Carlo and the two had already sat down beside the fire. The fire by the fire had been extinguished by Chen Qi long ago, and now there is only a little flaming charcoal still exerting its heat. . Carlo held a small wooden stick and poked at the bones in the bone soup that Chen Qi had not finished drinking in the morning. This thing can't be eaten, so why bother to cook it? Carlo raised his eyebrows contemptuously.

Chen Qi is a person who is not very good at dealing with others, especially when others act like they don't want to pay attention to you. He thought that all the orcs would be as enthusiastic as Azer to bring home strangers in trouble to help them. It seems that the two of them obviously have a bit of critical hostility towards them.

Chen Qi had a headache, but the other party was also A Ze's family after all, and he was relying on others, not to mention that one of them had saved him just now, so he couldn't be too rude to them. After thinking about it, I carefully picked a small handful of bright yellow dandelion flowers from the animal skin package, found a relatively small pottery plate, washed it carefully, and added a few pieces of wood to the fire. Light it, put a small half pan of water in a pottery plate and put it on the fire.

In the morning, Chen Qi found the water in these two large clay pots, and he didn't know what time A Ze got up. It was only when Chen Qi got up when he could finish the water and barbecue. Chen Qi clearly remembered him. When I woke up, the sun had only just risen.

Although the dandelion flowers look very clean, they are not short of water now. Chen Qi washed them a little with water, and waited for the water in the fire to boil before putting them in. The beautiful flowers tumbled in the boiling water instantly. Absolutely beautiful.

Although Carlo didn't seem to be interested in Chen Qi, his eyes always drifted to Chen Qi intentionally or unintentionally, and he couldn't help watching Chen Qi take the pottery plate with the flowers out of the fire. Curiously asked: "What are you doing?"

"Boil tea." The only small vessel that can be used to hold things is the water-milk fruit husk whose outer shell has been burnt to black. Chen Qi sighed silently. It seems that he needs to get the pottery bowl sooner. Now This is so inconvenient.

"Baking tea? What's that?"

Chen Kai used the fig fruit to carefully clean the water and milk fruit shell several times. He just used this shell to drink bone soup in the morning, and it was covered with a layer of greasy. Without raising his head, he explained, "A kind of flavored water."

"Taste water? Can you drink it?" Carlo tilted his head, with a childish look between his eyebrows, looking like a curious and good student. Ake was not interested in Chen Qi's tea. He was in a daze with a wooden stick carrying firewood. He was thinking about which animal would be better to hunt after sending Carlo back to the tribe in the afternoon.

Chen Qi handed the husk containing half of the dandelion tea to Carlo, "Try it, this is the only husk left here. Would you mind drinking it together?"

Carlo curled his lips in disgust, but reached out and took it. The water that had just boiled was still steaming, and Carlo blew it a few times before taking a sip. Chen Qifang didn't have many flowers, and the taste was very light, with only a little floral fragrance. "It's nothing special." Carlo said He handed the dandelion tea to Ake next to him. Ake was suffocated directly, and he was not afraid of being hot.

Carlo glared at him angrily, "No one robs you, can't you drink slower?"

Ake smiled at him and returned the empty shell to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi took it over, and the two of them obviously had no interest in this dandelion tea, and it was not easy to drink more tea. Chen Qi did not refill the two, and the atmosphere returned to a slightly awkward silence. Chen Qi sighed softly in his heart, forget it, it's not rude to drink tea anyway.

Chen Qi stood up and planned to go to the back room to get some longer pieces of firewood. The bundles of firewood in this room were already chopped by A Ze, and the longest one was the length of his forearm, which was not suitable for making Rack to dry cured meats. In fact, Chen Qi originally planned to get a rack under the fig tree next door to dry it, but after the vulture incident just now, he was afraid that all kinds of predators would be attracted as soon as he hung the meat out. Those creatures that were far more ferocious than him had to settle for the next best thing to dry in the room.

Seeing that Chen Qi was going to go out, Carlo asked dissatisfiedly, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the back room to get some firewood."

Seeing that Chen Qi disappeared behind the animal skin curtain after he finished speaking, he also quickly stood up and followed out. If Carlo wanted to leave, Ake would naturally follow.

The three came to the house at the back, and Chen Qi picked out a few wooden sticks that were half a person high. After seeing that Chen Qi really came to get the firewood, Carlo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The man who was rescued by Aze in the past was full of lies. , Carlo thought of this and grinded his back molars angrily. Ake rubbed his head comfortingly, and Carlo rolled his eyes in exchange.

After Chen Qi took the stick back to the room in front of him, he first inspected the two banyan tree roots that he had cut back. He visually estimated that there were at least one or two hundred roots. He picked up one and pulled it hard, making a slight "锃". The sound is very tough and not easy to break. Satisfied, Chen Qi picked two or three sticks and simply kneaded them together. He tied the three sticks to make a simple tripod. The other one was also processed and placed near the door where half of the curtain was opened. This is the most ventilated place, which is good for dry cured meat, but the smell of the room may not be very good.

Put a stick between two tripods, and a simple drying rack is done, and it still looks good.

Carlo turned into a curious baby again. When he saw Chen Qi finishing the shelf, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you using this thing for in the room?"

Chen Qi walked to the pottery plate next to the cured meat, pointed to the neatly sized strips of meat on the plate and replied, "Dry the cured meat."

"How do you dry it in the room?" Carlo was still puzzled.

"Well, this meat can't be directly exposed to the sun, it can only be dried in the shade." Chen Qi sat on the ground after saying that, picked up a few banyan tree roots and started braiding a rope like braiding hair. He has also made such a braid. Law. Although the roots are very tough, Chen Qi still intends to make the rope thicker to be safe.

The rope was soon woven. Chen Qi picked up the sword-horn knife, made a slit in the salted wart pork, and passed it through with the rope. After visually measuring the approximate required length, he cut off the excess rope, The bundled wart pork hangs on the rack just made.

Unknowingly, Carlo had moved to Chen Qi's side, watching him busy. When the bacon was in the pottery plate, it looked like a lot, but now it's just hanging half a wooden stick.

Looking at Chen Qi who was washing his hands with figs in a pottery plate, Carlo asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Chen Qi thought for a while, "Let's clean up the land where the house is to be built."

"Clean up? Clean up what?"

"Weed or something."

"Isn't it enough to just build the slate? There are many empty houses in the tribe, just go there and move the stones, you don't need to go to the Loya Forest to find them."

Chen Qi paused, "Don't you need to dig the foundation first when building a house?"

"What is the foundation?" Carlo asked inexplicably, which made him feel angry again, why he couldn't understand what this male said.

Chen Qi was silent for a while. He finally knew why the houses here were so short. No wonder the slate at the base of the house was particularly thick. The feelings were built directly on the ground, so it was hard for them to build the house so firmly. Chen Qi sighed softly, "The house over there is a little different from yours. I plan to build a house just like mine."

"What's the difference?"

Chen Qi compared the height, "Well, at least a little higher than your house here."

"Isn't it too high to collapse? The previous patriarch built a very tall house, but it collapsed before it survived the first winter, and then moved back to the original house." Speaking of this Carlo couldn't help gloating about something.

Chen Qi didn't know how to explain to Carlo, and replied vaguely: "Mine should not collapse." After speaking, he picked up the sword and horn and went out. Carlo quickly followed, and Ake threw the stick that had been pulling the charcoal fire into the fire and followed the two of them out.

The scope of the house to be built has been divided by Chen Qi. Although the dividing line he stepped on is crooked, it is enough to distinguish the area. Chen Qi squatted down, grabbed the yellow weeds in one hand, and picked up the sword-horn knife in the other to work. There are many varieties of weeds, most of which are not known to Chen Qi. Some of them are still green, and Chen Qi will directly pull them out, and store them aside. .

"Is it enough to clean up this piece of weeds?" Carlo asked after watching for a while.

"Well, just clean up along this area that I stepped on."

Carlo raised his chin at Akko, "Let's help too." I didn't expect that this man really planned to build a house next to Azer's house, and thought he would not be able to let Azer send him to the big tribe. Looking at Chen Qi, who was busy in the grass, Carlo's disgusting eyes softened a little. Forget it, let's observe it for a while and see. If he dares to bully Aze, he has a chance to clean up the other party. Carlo showed his pointed little tiger teeth and smiled sullenly at Chen Qi's back.

Ake looked at Carlo, who grinned like a little milk cat, with a funny look, stretched out his long nails resignedly, and squatted down to work. After all, Chen Qi was the one brought back by Aze, but he did not have preconceived hostility towards Chen Qi like Carlo.

Chen Qi was stunned and smiled helplessly. Carlo really deserves to be Aze's younger brother. Although he has always had a critical and disgusting expression on his face, he will still eagerly help out. He looks more like an awkward big kid.
