Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

"It's done." Carlo excitedly raised the backpack he sewed above his head.

Ali was also very happy, he never thought that animal skins could do such a thing.

Chen Qi smiled, stood up and stretched. Sitting on the hard ground all the time was also a tiring thing. Looking at the sky, there was still some time before evening. Can you find other food, like potatoes, and stop by to see if the traps have caught anything."

"Chen Qi, I want to eat potato stew." Carlo licked his lips with a greedy expression. At noon, Ake deliberately hunted a warthog and came back. He must also want Chen Qi to make potato stew. Potatoes are much better than those weeds and flowers.

Ali has never eaten it, but after lunch at noon, the taste that can make Carlo think about will not be too bad, and he can't help but look forward to it.

Chen Qi thought for a while, "If we find potatoes soon, let's make this at night."

"Chen Qi, why don't you teach me how to make it." That way he can make it for Ake every day. Ake's appetite has decreased a lot recently, but Chen Qi can eat a lot here.

"good."

A Ze took the animal skin backpack made by Chen Qi to demonstrate to the other two, and the four walked towards the first place where the trap was set.

In the morning, several people walked straight in the direction of the banyan tree. Now they are looking for food in the grass, and the speed is naturally much slower and the range is much larger.

After the first snow, most of the weeds in the Dora Plain are already withered and yellowed. If you see a little green plant, Kalo will call Chen Qi over to see if he can eat it. After running down a few times, he can't find anything like Chen Qi. The body was rather tired. I don’t know how many times I secretly decided to put physical fitness on the agenda as soon as possible, Chen Qi gasped for a while, and said to the few people who were buried in the grass: "Follow me, and wait until I find you who can eat. Just remember its shape and look for it according to its appearance."

A Ze has seen the appearance of several kinds of food that he has eaten these days, so he does not need to be ordered by Chen Qi to follow him like the other two. At this moment, A Ze is digging the rhizome of a plant with one hand. After a while, three fist-sized ovals were pulled out of the soil. A Ze frowned slightly. He remembered that Chen Qi said that this thing was called sweet potatoes, but the color was different from the ones he and Chen Qi ate before. "Chen Qi, I dug up something that looks like a sweet potato." A Ze shouted to Chen Qi in the distance.

Chen Qi hurried over and squatted on the ground to look carefully.

"They're the wrong color, but there's nothing wrong with them," Azer explained.

Chen Qi excitedly picked up the three sweet potatoes, "Aze, you are amazing, this is also a sweet potato." These are indeed different from the orange-red ones found before, which are more purple.

Chen Qi put the sweet potato in Aze's backpack, picked up the yellow potato vine on the ground, handed it to Carlo and the two, and instructed: "The two of you can look for it according to the appearance of this potato vine."

Carlo and the two looked at each other and went to the grass next to him with the potato vine. After Chen Qi separated from the two, Aze naturally did not dare to get too far away from Chen Qi, and followed him at a distance where he could quickly get to the other side, while searching Pay attention to what's going on around you.

However, on the plain, Chen Qi didn't know much and could eat very few things. When they got to the first trap setting point, the only thing they harvested was the few sweet potatoes that Aze found. The trap is empty, and apparently no animal has passed by to trigger the device during this time.

Carlo was a little disappointed and wondered if this kind of thing could really catch those sly rabbits? As a result, when he walked to the fifth device, Azer heard a noise from the grass in the distance. He was faster. He was the first to come to the position of the trap, and was a little surprised to see that he was trying to break free. A fat rabbit bound by a rope.

Carlo was the second to arrive, and when he saw a rabbit was really tied to the rope, he excitedly waved to Chen Qi behind him, "Chen Qi, Chen Qi, I really caught it, it's a rabbit."

When Chen Qi came up, he was also a little surprised. After several failures in the past, he thought that there would be no gains today. Go forward and untie the rabbit from the rope, hand it to Carlo, and re-tangle the trap.

As soon as he got up, he saw that Carlo was holding the rabbit's ears and wanted to stuff the rabbit into the backpack. Chen Qi quickly stopped it, "This rabbit is alive. If you put it in the backpack like this, it will run away."

"Then what should we do?" Carlo stopped, did he keep holding it like this?

Chen Qi folded a few tough weeds from the grass, tied the rabbit's limbs, made sure that the binding was strong enough before letting Carlo put it in the backpack, and then taught him how to tie the rope at the opening of the backpack.

"This backpack is really convenient." Carlo praised with a smile, "Let's continue to see if the rest have caught rabbits."

I don't know if it was because they were more fortunate today. The remaining dozen or so traps harvested two more rabbits. Chen Qi gave one to A Li and the other to A Ze, because A Ze's backpack was in it. If there was something, Chen Qi asked Aze to carry it with his hand.

It wasn't until the sun was about to go down that a few people returned home. Naturally, the potatoes were not found. Even if Carlo the rabbit was caught, he would be a little embarrassed. There was no potato stew today.

The only food he found was those three sweet potatoes and a small handful of wild ginger, but what made Chen Qi happy was that he found more than a dozen small thistles, so many that he could help Aze change his medicine tonight. It's a pity that I haven't found other more familiar herbs, and I haven't even seen half of the plantain that is as bad as Xiaoji.

"Next time I find potatoes, I'll teach you how to make potato stew." Chen Qi tried to comfort Carlo.

"Yeah." Carlo responded slyly.

After returning, Ake was already waiting at the door of the house, with a bulging backpack at his feet, Carlo ran over happily when he saw it, "Ake, what did you find?"

Ake rubbed Carlo's head habitually, squatted down, picked up the backpack and opened it, letting Carlo see what was inside, "I found a milk fruit tree today."

"And red berries and grapes," said Carlo in surprise.

Ake handed the backpack directly to Chen Qi, "This is for you. If it wasn't for this backpack, I wouldn't be able to bring back so many things."

"So much?" Chen Qizheng wanted to refuse.

"Just accept it. Since Ake gave you this thing to prove that there must be a lot in his family, you taught me and Carlo so many things today, which is what it should be." Ali is quite to these people. Understood, smiled and explained to Chen Qi. And decided to bring a few more pieces of cloth to Chen Qi tomorrow.

Carlo nodded quickly.

Ah Zhang also came at this time. He greeted everyone and asked Ali, "Are you going to return to the tribe now?"

"We encountered a small herd of warthogs crossing the river today and hunting a lot of game," Ake interjected.

Naturally, Ali knew that things in the tribe were busy at this time, and nodded, "Then let's go back today, Chen Qi, we'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay." Only then did Chen Qi know that it was A Zhang who came here with A Li on his back.

I didn't find Potato Carlo, and I didn't particularly want to stay. After all, the distance from the tribe is still a little far, and it would be safer to go with more people at night, so I went back with Ali and the others first.

Chen Qi and A Ze took the golden needle flowers they were drying back into the room, and then they remembered that there was a warthog that Ake hunted back at noon in the room.

"What should I do?" Chen Qi asked Azer speechlessly, looking at the warthog lying on the ground.

"Since Ake brought it here, it's for us, just stay."

Chen Qi paused, "I mean just let it lie down like this?" Let him deal with this warthog? Chen Qi, who had never killed a chicken before, swallowed his saliva silently, hesitant.

"Actually, my hands are fine."

Chen Qi rolled his eyes, "Forget it, let's do it tomorrow, we will eat rabbits today." He can't handle large animals, but he can still try small animals like rabbits.

So the dinner in the evening was a roast rabbit. Chen Qi also cut a large piece of the mutton marinated at noon and copied it with the last dandelion. I don't know if it was Chen Qi's illusion. Today's Aze's appetite is obviously not as much as usual. "Is what I did not suit your taste? Why did you eat so much less than usual?" Chen Qi asked suspiciously, and Aze ate half a roasted rabbit and a few slices of mutton and didn't eat it.

"No, it's because I didn't go hunting today, so I ate less."

"Will there be less food for not hunting?"

"Yeah." Aziz nodded.

Chen Qi suddenly realized that if he followed Aze's food intake, no matter how much food was stored in winter, it would definitely become insufficient. It turned out that as long as they didn't hunt, the relative demand for food would decrease accordingly. With no hunting in winter, the orcs can survive the winter with stored food.

Chen Qi put the leftover food in a pottery plate. After cleaning up, he burned a pottery plate with hot water in the fire. He dug out a few small thistles from his backpack and smashed them. He found a lot today, so Chen Qi didn't. need to save. "Come here, let me change your medicine for you."

A Ze sat in front of Chen Qi, Chen Qi gently removed the cloth strip on his shoulder, wiped off the herbs that had been covered with a little discoloration, and was surprised to find that the wound had begun to heal, this is Xiao Ji Are the wild herbs too powerful or the orcs' self-healing ability too strong?

Seeing Chen Qi's surprise, the corners of Aze's mouth turned up slightly, "The self-healing ability of the females is very good, and the wound will heal tomorrow."

This is no longer simply good, but it is already going against the sky. You must know that yesterday he could see the bones inside from this wound. Chen Qi complained in his heart, silently applied the freshly mashed herbs to the wound, and tied it with a cloth again.
