Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

"Chen Qi, are you all right?" Carlo carefully opened the door curtain, and waited for the two hugging people to finally separate before walking in and asking.

After A Yao was handed over to A Li, A Li had already told him that Chen Qi was all right now, but he was lying on the bed several times and couldn't fall asleep. After thinking about it again and again, I said hello to A Li, and then I went out to find Chen Qi. I didn't expect to hear A Ze's affectionate confession as soon as I walked to the door.

Carlo stood outside the door with gloomy eyes. His eldest brother has been a sullen gourd since he was a child. He doesn't like words or communication. Before someone moved out to live alone, even under the same roof, if he teased him ten times, he would not answer a single one. I was distressed more than once, and because I really felt that he could not integrate into the tribe, I finally had to agree to his request to move out.

Now that he sees Azer who will finally take the initiative to make a request, Carlo is actually very happy in his heart. If Daddy sees it, I am afraid he will become very gratified.

The arrival of Chen Qi changed not only Aze, but also the beastmen who now live together. He changed their living environment, changed their food, changed their clothes, and changed the way they get along. If there is no Chen Qi, I am afraid that now he has gone to the lion and wolf tribe, and his brother Aze Then he will still be the same as before, wandering alone in the wilderness year after year, and occasionally visit the Lion and Wolf tribe to see himself, but he will never be as close to himself as he is now.

Therefore, Chen Qi can't have an accident. Carlo's eyes became firm, and he couldn't bear to lose the family affection he finally got back again.

Seeing Carlo poking his head, Chen Qi let go of Aze a little embarrassedly. I was afraid that the other party had heard a lot of what happened just now, otherwise the other party should have rushed in because of his understanding of Carlo. How could it be like this now? They all asked aloud and stood by the door, hesitating whether to come in or wait.

Chen Qi wanted Carlo to come in, and then he replied: "It's just a common cold, it's not a big problem, just take a nap and you'll be fine."

Carlo walked to the bed suspiciously, reached out and touched Chen Qi's forehead, and found that it was not as hot as yesterday, so he was relieved.

Chen Qi turned his head and said to Aze distressedly: "You stayed with me all night, are you tired? Would you like to go to sleep for a while?"

A Ze shook his head, "I'm not tired." What if he fell asleep and Chen Qi got up again?

Chen Qi was helpless and could only compromise: "Then you should go eat something, right? Did I not eat dinner after I fell asleep last night?" Thinking of this, Chen Qi looked at the haggard black face on A Ze's face. His eyes hurt even more, and he patted the back of Aze's hand, "There's Carlo watching me here, I've been cooking the potato stew for a long time last night, go and eat it hot, now the rest There are not many potatoes left, what a pity to waste them."

Hearing that it was his favorite delicious potato stew, Carlo's stomach also screamed at the right time. He was worried all night last night and completely forgot about the need to eat, "Brother, hurry up and take care of it. The potato stew is hot, I'm starving to death. Also, remember to send some to Ake later. He hasn't come back to eat since last night. There are also Uncle A Li and Uncle A Zhang, Uncle A Zhang estimates that He is already asleep, just help him warm by the fire, he will eat when he wakes up. By the way, Chen Qi, how much potato stew did you cook last night? Is it enough for so many people? Do you want to? I'm going to do some more?"

Watching Carlo sweep away the haze just now, and turn back into the usual chattering snack foodie, Chen Qi shook his head helplessly, "Enough for you, no need to cook any more." I had planned to have dinner together last night, so Chen Qi stewed two large plates, but he didn't eat it because he was sick later. Now that his illness is just right, his mouth is dull, and he doesn't want to eat meat.

Aze walked to the fire. Fortunately, Chen Qi had already taken the two plates of potato stew from the fire last night. Otherwise, with the busy situation last night, it is estimated that no one cared whether the fire was still cooking or not. If you cook like this for one night, I am afraid that these two large plates of food will really be wasted.

The pottery plate of the stewed meat was placed relatively close to the fire. After the fire was warmed overnight, the fat in the cured meat was stewed out. There were not many potatoes originally, and it was not enough to absorb the excess fat. , At this moment, the whole plate of stewed meat has become greasy. The stewed meat is still hot, so naturally there is no need to reheat it, but this large plate of greasy food will be disgusted by everyone if you don't eat two bites.

Aze was silent, and went to the storage room to find half a cabbage. There were a lot of cabbage in the forest before, and Aze picked almost half of the amount in the house, and now there are still many piled up in his original house. This kind of thing is a bit different from the cabbage that Chen Qi knew. Like potatoes and sweet potatoes, they are so delicate that they will freeze if the temperature is too low. Cabbage is not afraid of freezing. Even if you go to the forest now, you should be able to find a lot as long as you dig through the snow, so you don’t have to worry about it running out of food. .

Aze washed and shredded the cabbage, then took the potato stew into another clean pottery plate, mixed with the cabbage and fry it for a while. The cabbage can absorb a lot of oil, but it makes the potato stew look good Much delicious.

It turned out that the fat stewed in the pottery plate cut a plate of pork and dragon meat, and then added cabbage to stir-fry a dish. After Azer finished all, he divided several portions and packed them up, and then went to the beasts who were still hungry. People bring food.

Carlo voluntarily went to get a pottery bowl and put a large bowl on it and sat back next to Chen Qi's bed.

"Do you want to eat?" Seeing Chen Qi staring at him, Carlo asked, shaking his pottery bowl that was about to overflow.

Chen Qi shook his head, he just finished eating a big bowl of meat porridge, and now he is not hungry at all.

With Chen Qi's illness, he completely lived his small days when he got dressed, stretched out his hands for food, and opened his mouth. As long as he lay on the bed and looked at Azer, he would come over and ask him what he needed. When he was hungry, Azer would feed him porridge and drink it Ze gave water, and A Ze didn't even let him do it himself when he wanted to take a bath. Chen Qi had a kind of illness that was not a common cold and fever, but had some inability to move.

Now Aze only goes to the fence for a while at night, and spends most of the time by Chen Qi's side.

A Jing didn't know if he was frightened before. During this time, he brought the little wolf cubs back. He must stick to Chen Qi when he eats and sleeps. If Chen Qi wants to get out of bed for a walk, he will pull his sleeves tightly. Looking at him with big round eyes, Chen Qi looked soft-hearted, and finally had to lie back on the bed obediently.

If this kind of life were in the original world, Chen Qi would be snickering, but here, lying with eyes open all day is a kind of torture.

When Aze went to guard the fence, he would ask others to accompany Chen Qi. At this moment, it was Carlo who was serving him the basil soup. Carlo cooled the soup a little, and then handed it to Chen Qi. He stopped and warned: "Be careful, it's still a little hot."

Chen Qi rolled his eyes speechlessly. The feeling that everyone treated himself as a seriously ill patient really made him feel tired. It was useless to explain that he had already been cured several times. Everyone should look at him or look at him.

Watching Chen Qi obediently finish the basil soup, Carlo was relieved, and when he took the bowl back, he couldn't help but look a little gloomy. Seeing that Chen Qi's expression was no different from usual, he couldn't help but sighed softly, He murmured, "If only I could meet you earlier." Maybe he wouldn't lose his father so early. However, when my father left, his brother was not yet an adult. I was afraid that if he knew him too early, maybe his brother would miss Chen Qi. Thinking of this, Carlo looked away again.

His grandfather now has two dads by his side, so he might be so happy.

Chen Qi laughed, "It's not too late to meet now."

"Yes, it's not too late to meet now." Carlo put the pottery bowl away, and was about to pick up the half-finished animal leather boots and continue making them. These animal leather boots were prepared for Ah Yao, and the style was still Chen Qihua. It was given to him, short and round, and Chen Qi also taught him to use wooden buttons as eyes, and sew them into the shape of a little tiger, which is very cute. A Jing was envious when he saw it. Later, A Li helped him make a similar pair. Now A Jing refuses to take it off every day.

"Carlo, can I get up and walk for a while?" Chen Qi asked tentatively when Carlo started to work. He had been lying on the bed for two days, and his bones were sore. Now he just wanted to go to the ground and move around. bone.

A Jing has been sitting at the table practicing calligraphy. Today, Chen Qi taught him a Tang poem. He was copying it, but his ears were raised, and he was always paying attention to Chen Qi's movements. Putting down his pen, he took off his shoes and climbed onto the heated kang bed, clinging to Chen Qi's hand and preventing him from going down.

"No." Carlo didn't even think about it, and refused without even raising his head. In the past two days alone, he has heard Chen Qi's request to get out of bed countless times, but it is possible to get sick. So casual? Although it seems to be all right now, what if I don't pay attention and fall ill again? Next time, you may not be able to get the protection of the beast god.

That's right, this time Chen Qi was getting better so quickly, and everyone didn't attribute all the reasons to Chen Qi's good recovery ability or the good effect of those bowls of basil soup. The orcs worship the beast gods. They think that Chen Qi must have been protected by the beast gods to get better so quickly. After all, Chen Qi knows too many things, and even A Ze doesn't know where his tribe is. A Zhang even I wondered if Chen Qi would be someone sent by the Beast God to help them.

Hearing the expected answer, Chen Qi sighed, "It's really just a common cold. After a good night's sleep, it'll be fine. What are you all worried about?"

Carlo put down the needle and thread in his hand and looked up at Chen Qi seriously, "Perhaps it's just a very common thing to get sick in your tribe, but here, our bodies are not as good as female sons, we are not as good as female sons. If you get sick, you will die." Carroll paused, "I don't think my brother told you, our grandfather, it was in such a winter when he suddenly had a fever like you. As a result, it burned for several days, and he told us that he would be fine after sleeping, but he never woke up after he fell asleep that day."

Chen Qi was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know about this kind of thing, and he couldn't help feeling warm. It's no wonder that when these people saw that they were sick, it was like a great enemy. They acted like this because they cared about themselves. , then lie in bed for a few more days to reassure them. Thinking of this, Chen Qi didn't ask to get out of bed for the next few days.

Of course, it is impossible to let him stare at the ceiling with his eyes open in a daze. The final result of the negotiation is that he can lie in bed to cultivate, but he has to do something. Aze can't beat him, so he agreed. But he can only do it when someone is watching. He is now afraid that Chen Qi will accidentally make something wrong and make him sick again.

Chen Qi wanted to make some playable entertainment props before, but now he was idle in bed, thinking for a long time, and finally decided to make a set of Go.

In fact, Chen Qi is not very good at playing Go. His teacher in college played a game of guide chess with him, which made him think he was good at Go, but he ended up playing a game with other people, and he didn't even play a few steps. It was eaten to death, and in the end, it was all lost before the middle game.

It's obviously a very unscientific thing to let Chen Qilai, who can't do chess well, teach these orcs who don't even know what chess is. There is a type of chess, backgammon.

Gobang is very simple to play. Connecting five pieces of the same color horizontally, vertically, and diagonally is considered a win. It is a perfect game to teach these orcs to play.

Chen Qixian asked Aze to help make a prototype of a square chessboard. Since there is no scale here, he estimated the approximate length and used a piece of wood as a ruler to draw 19 horizontal and vertical lines, although he did not plan to use this chessboard to play Go. , but Chen Qi still pointed out Tian Yuan and Xing on the chessboard. Now all that's left are chess pieces.

The chess pieces were carved out of wood by Chen Qiong. There was no way. He was too bored, and there were not so many stones suitable for chess pieces. It took three days to engrave, and this is still the result of engraving a rough shape, and the size of each chess piece is different.

Well, it's not a professional level, it's fine if you can play it, right?

They don't have white dyed fruit at home. Chen Qi only dyed and dried the 181 sunspots and can't wait for you to use them. Everyone else knows that Chen Qi has made a chessboard that he has never seen before. Now that he heard that he is going to start playing chess, he can't wait to run over and watch. Even Carlo threw A Yao to Ake to watch and run. coming.

"Does this count as a win?" Chen Qi explained the rules of backgammon and then demonstrated it again, Carlo still asked vaguely.

"Why don't we come and see the next game, you will understand after the actual battle." Chen Qi put the pieces back into the wooden chess box, and one of the pieces was still the original color of the wood. Chen Qi always felt that it was not black and white. The chess pieces are not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at them. After summer, you must find out if there are any white dyed fruits, and you have to make a real pair of Go.

While teaching Carlo how to cut off the opponent's path, Chen Qi reiterated to him the points to pay attention to in Gobang.

"Hey, does this count as a win?" Carlo asked in amazement, looking at the five sunspots connected horizontally.

Chen Qi nodded, because he wanted to teach Carlo, so he put a little water and told the opponent how to cut off the path of the chess piece, and then let the opponent win.

Carlo excitedly looked left and right at the few pieces on the chessboard. He was satisfied with what he looked at. Seeing that Chen Qi was about to collect the pieces, he quickly stopped him and said, "Chen Qi, why are you putting away the pieces?"

Chen Qi rolled his eyes, "How can we proceed to the next game if we don't put it away?"

"Oh, let's continue."

Ali, who was watching from the side, was also eager to try, "Chen Qi, teach me later."

Chen Qi taught them all day long to give them an introductory understanding of Gobang. Most of the orcs are doing manual labor, and they are not very good at thinking about this kind of plane. There are many, but each one has to be explained in detail to them in order to understand them, which is simply exhausting.

Fortunately, I didn't teach them Go, otherwise, I would be surprised if I didn't disturb myself at my half-baked level.

"I won." After the teaching, Chen Qi decided to officially play with Carlo. After only a few rounds of effort, the five pieces belonging to him on the diagonal line became a line.

"How did you win?" Carlo looked left and right and still couldn't see where he lost.

A Jing glanced at him with contempt, stretched out his small hand and counted the five pieces connected together, "Here, one, two, three, four, five, five are connected together, you lose."

Perhaps because the child's thinking has not yet been finalized, A Jing's ability to accept is much better than those of the adults, Chen Qi pinched his chubby cheek in admiration, "So smart, let's play the next game. Bar."

A Jing frowned and nodded vigorously.

Carlo refused to accept it. He picked up the last piece and played it in the middle of the five connected pieces. "The one just now doesn't count, I'm going to play here."

Chen Qi looked at him with a smile, stretched out his index finger and shook it, "Today I'm going to teach you a new word, no regrets. After a while, Carlo, you can copy these four words hundreds of times to understand what it means. Bar."
