Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

After helping Azer treat the wound, Chen Qi poured the hot water into a small plate and went outside to scrub his body. He hadn't taken a bath for more than two days. It's convenient, Chen Qi can only clean it up like this.

After returning to the house, I saw that Aze was sorting out the contents in his backpack. The fruits that Ake brought back were filled with a large pottery plate. Red berries like apples, and then a bunch of grapes.

Chen Qi leaned over, picked a grape, wiped it with his sleeve, and put it in his mouth. It was a little sweet and a little sour, and the taste was no different from the one bought in the supermarket.

"Do you want to drink milk fruit?" Aze picked up a milk fruit and asked. The water milk fruit that Ake picked was more yellow than what Chen Qi had seen before.

Chen Qi nodded, Aze cut the husk of the water milk fruit with his fingernails, Chen Qi took it and took a sip, smashing his mouth, "Why do I feel sweeter than before."

"This one is fully ripe, and the taste will be sweeter. Look at the liquid inside, is it a little clearer than what you've seen before?"

It was only then that Chen Qi noticed that the liquid in the water yogurt was not completely milky, but more like water. Chen Qi thoughtfully looked at the Shui Ruguo in his hand.

A Ze also cleaned the contents of the other backpack into another pottery plate, and sighed: "I used to think that the pottery I exchanged from Uncle Ali was useless, but now almost every one of them has come in handy." Now Chen Qi needs to use pottery for everything. Almost all the pottery in this room has been used. If you want to install new things, you can only go to the utility room to get the pottery stored.

"Are these pottery made by Ali?" To ask Chen Qi to call someone who looks not much older than himself as his uncle, Chen Qi really couldn't say it, so he called A-Chang Ali by his first name. of.

"Yeah, now the only people in the tribe who can make pottery are Uncle Ali." Seeing that Chen Qi was just holding the water and milk fruit instead of drinking it, A Ze felt a little strange. Are you enjoying your meal? It's impossible that you don't like it because the taste is sweet. "What's wrong? Don't you like the sweet milk fruit?"

"No, I just suddenly have a new idea." Chen Qi said, took out a smaller pottery plate, and filtered the juice of the water milk fruit with the simple filter cloth used to filter the salt stone before, and then filtered the filtered Put the juice in a clay pot and burn it on the fire, stirring with a clean wooden stick as it cooks. It was not until the juice became thick and it was about to burn that Chen Qi took the pottery plate out of the fire, put it on the edge of the fire, and warmed it with the preheating of the fire. That's right, Chen Qi wanted to try to see if he could make sugar.

Sugar will not be precipitated by directly drying the water with fire like making salt. After processing the syrup, Chen Qi will leave it alone for the time being. He takes out a few flat slates and paints on them with a thin piece of charcoal. Drawing, while drawing, while recalling the process of how others build houses that I have seen before.

After Azer finished disposing of the things, he brought a few bundles of firewood from the utility room. Seeing that Chen Qi was still immersed in his thoughts, he thought about it and carried the warthog in the corner out of the house for disposal. Although I can ask Ake and Ali for help tomorrow, the warthog has long since lost its breath. If I leave it for a night, the meat quality will change tomorrow, and if Ake knows that he is even injured because of such a small injury You can't even handle prey, so how can you laugh at yourself?

However, Aze didn't blame Chen Qi for caring too much. Instead, he was very happy that Chen Qi cared so much about his injury. Thinking of this, his subordinates' movements couldn't help speeding up a lot.

After Azer had finished dealing with the warthog, he returned to the house to see Chen Qizheng frowning and staring at the slate in his hand in a daze, with a distressed look on his face. "What's wrong?" Aziz asked worriedly.

"I'm thinking about what to look for instead of glass for the windows of the house. If I use wooden windows, I'm afraid that if I close the windows in winter, the house will be dark again." Chen Qi habitually wanted to bite the pen and found that he was holding After taking the charcoal, he stopped immediately.

"grass?"

"It's a very hard and transparent thing." Chen Qi explained.

"Like the eyes of a locust dragon?"

"Yes, like the Locust Dragon..." Chen Qi paused, then suddenly looked up at Aze, "You mean Locust Dragon's eyes?"

Aze wondered, "Isn't it? The eyes of the locust dragon are hard and transparent, and even if the locust dragon dies, it can remain immortal for decades."

Chen Qi then remembered the corpse of the locust dragon he had seen on the way here, "Aze, you are so amazing, how could I have not thought of it." Chen Qi excitedly drew the prototype window on the slate He wrote the word "locust dragon" next to him and asked, "Is it easy to get the eyes of the locust dragon?"

"The locust dragon has basically entered the depths of the forest at this time. It is not so easy to find the locust dragon, and the locust dragon can only remove the protective film on his eyes after it has died for a period of time." After looking at what Chen Qi painted on the slate, um, I don't understand.

Chen Qi was a little discouraged, "Can't we get it now? I don't know if the locust dragon we saw before is still in its original place."

"Do you want it? I can go and get it back." Azer suggested.

Chen Qi was a little hesitant, the place where he met Locust Dragon was too far.

Aze saw the other party's worry, "at my speed, I can come back in two days and one night. I slowed down the speed because I was with you. You can go to the tribe to live for a day, and I will be there the next night. I can come back." Before, because of Chen Qi, Aze chose a relatively safe journey, so he naturally needed to take a detour, if he was alone, he would have no worries at all. What worries him is that Locust Dragon's eyes are too huge, and there may be no way to move all six eyes back at once.

Chen Qi was a little moved by what he said. After all, the windows in a house are still very important. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed, "But tomorrow, you should rest for another day, and go back when the wound is almost healed."

"Well. Tomorrow my wound will be almost healed."

Only then did Chen Qi discover the warthog next to him that had already been treated. This time, Aze kept the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys of the warthog, only the intractable intestines and pork belly were thrown away. Chen Qi Ni glanced at the other party, rolled up his sleeves, and planned to marinate the meat, and save the internal organs to eat tomorrow.

Naturally, it takes a lot of salt to pickle a whole warthog. Aze saw that he had reduced a lot of salt. It seemed that he would need to go to a meeting of the Lion and Wolf Tribe in a few days. Animal hides can be exchanged for salt.

Chen Qize cleaned some of the pig bones, simmered the bone soup in two large pottery plates on a low fire, and cut the pig lungs and wild **** into it, so that he could drink it directly when he woke up tomorrow morning.

Tonight, Chen Qi was driven back to the slate bed. No matter how much he protested, A Ze was unmoved. Then A Ze found an animal skin ball and slept by the fire. Before falling asleep, he seemed to hear the sound behind him. Chen Qi's soft, low laughter came.

When he woke up the next day, Chen Qixian went to check the whey jelly syrup that had been boiled last night. There was only a thin layer of fermented jelly fruit. Chen Qi stirred it with a wooden stick, and it was sticky. After thinking about it, I picked up the pottery plate containing the syrup and went out the door. The sun is very good today, and I plan to dry it. I don’t know if it will easily precipitate sugar crystals.

Today, Ake is still carrying Carlo on his back, A Zhang is here with Ali on his back, and Ali's backpack is bulging. Handed the empty backpack to A Zhang.

Ake still carried a thick stego-keel. After putting Carlo down, he took the stego-keel to the position it had placed yesterday.

After sending A Zhang and Ake away, Carlo sprinted to Chen Qi's side, "Chen Qi, what are you going to do today?"

Ali also came up from behind, "It seems that you have a lot of meat sticks hanging in your house. Are you not afraid of spoiling if you hang them like that? Don't you need to take them outside to dry?"

"The meat strips will not deteriorate so easily if they are smeared with salt. The sun outside is too hot now, and it is not suitable for drying the cured meat, and the cured meat is best dried in the shade." After Chen Qi finished speaking, he turned to Carlo, "Today can First go see if the trap has caught the hare, and then I'll draw the basic plan of the house."

Today there are only two backpacks made by Chen Qi. Chen Qi gave one backpack for Aze to carry to fetch water, and the other is for Carlo. Activities nearby.

Today's trap also harvested two fat rabbits. Carlo happily tied the rabbit's limbs and stuffed it into his backpack. He learned how to tie a rabbit yesterday. Now, he is much more proficient than yesterday.

After returning, Chen Qi found a lot of cooled charcoal, and a thick rope that was specially woven yesterday to measure the distance, looked at the ground, took out a few slates with design drawings, and roughly determined the location. , This is why Carlo and the two come to help.

Chen Qi's house is very simple, with four symmetrical rooms and the hall in the middle. Originally, he wanted to build a house with similar specifications to a modern house, but unfortunately he had to be defeated by reality after thinking about it again and again. The reason is that he didn't know how to build a house. The houses of the orcs are all square with four walls and one room. Like the utility room of Azer's house, it looks like it is connected with the room in front, but it is actually separate. There is a gap between the fists. . Therefore, to build a house, it is not only about planning, but also needs to consider issues such as load-bearing.

Chen Qi, who does not know how to build a house, considered the simplest and most possible solution, making it symmetrical, and using the wall separating the hall and the room as the load-bearing wall.
