Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

The entrance of the cave is not very big, it is only big enough for an adult hyena dragon to enter and exit. Now that the fur snow bear is blocked in the entrance of the cave, even if the female hyena dragon tries to struggle out, there is nowhere to exert force. Out of the cave, Mao Xuexiong couldn't do it. The raging fire behind him burned on Mao Xuexiong's beautiful white fur and quickly burned the fur with an unpleasant burnt smell. Mao Xuexiong was so painful that he just wanted to escape the scorching heat.

Because a lot of tobacco was stuffed between the two Hyena dragons before, the entrance of the cave was almost drowned by thick smoke, and the two male Hyena dragons that fell in first had lost half of their fighting spirit, and the smoke inhaled too much, causing them to lose half of their fighting spirit. With their heads dizzy, they couldn't get out of the cave, so they had to retreat into the depths of the cave in order to stay away from the choking smoke.

Although the burrowing technique of Mao Xuexiong is very good, it can silently burrow into the ground without being discovered, but it also has a disadvantage. It is suitable for burrowing, and once the claws are bald, it means that the hunting ability is lost, and it is no different from waiting for death.

The thick smoke from the entrance of the cave was still burrowing into it, and the huge body of Mao Xuexiong was constantly pushing and shoving it. The female Hyena Dragon had no choice, so she planned to leave first, and then find a way to attack it later. Tasty and annoying orcs to shreds.

The cave is very deep and has a long distance from the ground, so even with the eyesight of the Hyena dragons, it is impossible to distinguish things clearly in the darkness in the cave.

The female hyena dragon let out a low howl, signaling the two hyena dragons to evacuate first.

Chen Qi had already come down from the fence, because Mao Xuexiong kept retreating into the depths of the cave, and the firewood in the cave also fell into the depths of the cave. In order to prevent the fire from being extinguished, Ake added tobacco and firewood. Occasionally throw in some condensed crushed grease to increase the fire of the fire, so that the hyena dragon inside has no chance of escaping.

"Chen Qi, will this be able to annihilate all the Hyena dragons?" Seeing Chen Qi approaching, Ake hurriedly asked, but he didn't intend to stop his movements.

Although several hyena dragons have been successfully returned to the cave, this behavior of burning a fire at the entrance of the cave cannot cause direct damage to the hyena dragon. Although it can prevent the hyena dragon from coming out again, in case the fire goes out The Hyena dragon crawled out again? Isn't that a waste of time?

The fire at the entrance of the cave became more and more intense, and some of the smell of tobacco leaked out. Chen Qi handed a few wet cloth strips folded to several layers to Ake and Aze, and asked them to tie their mouths and noses like himself. Avoid breathing in too much tobacco flavor.

"The hyena dragon also needs to breathe. As long as the cave is full of thick smoke, even if there is no way to directly harm them, they should theoretically be able to suffocate them to death."

Azer went to the firewood pile at the back of the house to carry a large pile of firewood and came back with two animal skin bags full of tobacco in his hands, Azer threw one of the animal skin bags to Ake, "Go outside and have a look If Uncle A Zhang and the others need help, just leave it to me and Chen Qi."

Ake nodded, put the animal skin bag on his back, then went to the wall to get a bag of solidified grease, and climbed on the wooden stake on the wall to leave.

The female hyena dragon probably never thought that it could meet the companion in the cave that it told to stay outside to meet up. Through the gap, the hyena dragon saw that there was also a strong fire in the exit of the hole, and the smoke along the hole. The wall kept pouring into the depths of the cave, and the female hyena dragon felt that her throat was about to dry out, her head was a little groggy, and her thoughts were not as clear at the beginning.

But the female hyena dragon is worthy of being a hyena dragon who has been injured and can live well to old age. After panicking for a while, it roared at the hyena dragon in front of it, causing them to rush out of the circle of fire.

The male hyena dragons do not have the same way of thinking as the female hyena dragons. They are not afraid of direct battles. If they usually rely on the advantages of scales, they have the courage to break through the current predicament even if they are scalded. But now that they have been trapped in the cave for too long, the pungent smell of tobacco fills almost the entire cave, and their heads have become drowsy because of the smell of tobacco, just instinctively wanting to stay away from the scorching fire.

No matter how the female hyena dragon roared, the male hyena dragons were reluctant to leave the cave. The **** furry snow bear behind him had fallen into a coma at some point. The walls of the cave were dark, and the thick soil had long been frozen hard by the ice and snow. It scratched **** the cave wall with its claws, leaving a few deep scratches. It roared in despair, a fierce light flashed in its eyes, opened its huge mouth, revealing the sharp fangs inside, and turned around. Looking at the Mao Xuexiong lying not far away, blocking the road, as soon as he grabbed a bite, the dark cave was instantly filled with an unpleasant smell of blood.

Chen Qi did not dare to let the fire in the cave go out, so he buried the tobacco deep in the fire, then covered the burning firewood with thick fur covered with moisture, and used a thick wooden stick to cover the smoking tobacco. Tuck deeper into the cave, then light a fire on the surface.

Aze's speed is very fast. It only takes a few minutes from processing the tobacco to re-lighting the fire. After the surrounding snow is melted due to the fire, the snow water wets the brown soil. Stepping on the animal leather boots can get full of mud.

Seeing that there was nothing left to do, Chen Qi left the entrance of the cave to Aze to guard, and he went back to the room to get some food and returned to the city wall, because the Hyena Dragon broke in and made trouble, and the room was in chaos. , all kinds of broken things are all over the floor, and Chen Qi is not in the mood to count them slowly now.

The watchtower has been guarded by people staying inside for a long time. Although the surface is an ice wall made of thick snow piles, the inner wall is covered with a layer of wood, and the wood is covered with a layer of animal skin for isolation. Cold use.

The fire in the house was built in a large pottery plate. Under the large pottery plate, river sand and wooden boards were used to isolate the cold air. The firelight illuminated the surroundings warmly. Carlo was sitting by the fire with A Yao in his arms. A Jing held the little wolf cub, stood on a high wooden bench, and looked out through the gap for lookout. The people on the fence had long since stayed on the fence, so naturally A Jing couldn't see anything.

As soon as Chen Qi climbed up the wooden ladder, A Jing quickly jumped off the wooden bench and opened the heavy wooden door to run outside.

"Ajing, where are you going?" Ajing's sudden action startled Carlo, for fear that the other party would rush into the battle, so he hurriedly stopped.

A Jing turned his head, "It's okay, Chen Qi is back, he has a lot of things, I'll help him." After explaining, he closed the wooden door to prevent the cold wind from blowing into the house and blowing away the temperature inside.

A Jing took the things from Chen Qi's hand. Chen Qi was slightly surprised and couldn't help but blame: "Didn't you stay in the watchtower? Why didn't you obey and ran out?" The wall of the watchtower was built very well Thick, even if the Hyena Dragon can climb to the city wall, it should be able to block the attack for a while. It can be said that this watchtower is the safest place in their small settlement.

"I haven't heard the voice of the Hyena Dragon." A Jing explained with his head drooping.

Chen Qi sighed, "The next time I ask you to be obedient, just be obedient, I will find you, understand?" He didn't want to see A Jing lying in front of him with blood all over again. One time is enough.

"Yeah." A Jing nodded obediently, carried the animal skin backpack he took from Chen Qi and went back to the watchtower.

The big bag that A Jing was carrying was the dried rice berry powder when Chen Qi was banned some time ago. The rice berries that A Ze picked after the winter were very bitter, so there was no way to use them directly to make meat porridge. Moreover, the fruit liquid in this rice berry is still a little sticky, and Chen Qi often bakes it half dry to fry various things.

It always takes a lot of time to start baking every time it needs to be used, so Chen Qi took advantage of his spare time to process all the rice berries that were picked after the winter. The amount of two large animal skin bags.

Chen Qi was worried that the rice berry powder would be contaminated with the smell of the cured meat in the storage room, so he kept it at the outermost position near the door. When the hyena dragon came in to destroy it, it naturally saw these two large bags of bulging things for the first time, bit it down without any hesitation, and pulled it back, the sharp fangs tore the animal skin backpack into a big hole, the beige With this tearing force, the rice berry powder scattered all over the place, and the Hyena Dragon took a breath off guard, and couldn't help sneezing, and its nose was itchy, even though it destroyed a bag of rice berry powder. , but also thanks to this bag of rice berry powder, Hyena Dragon did not enter the storage room again, and the food stored in it did not suffer any loss.

"How is the situation now?" Carlo hurriedly asked when he saw Chen Qi walking in. He had to take care of the little girl and couldn't keep an eye on the situation outside. Although he was anxious, he could only wait patiently. When I saw Chen Qi coming back, I couldn't sit still, I just wanted to know what was going on outside.

"It's alright, it's basically resolved, and now we'll just wait until tomorrow morning, when the fire at the entrance of the cave will be removed to know what's going on in the cave." Chen Qi comforted Carlo, and then explained to him in detail just now what happened.

Hearing that everyone was fine, Carlo heaved a long sigh of relief.

"We'll stay in the watchtower tonight, and we'll go home when it's safe to do so tomorrow."

Carlo nodded, and saw Chen Qi take out various things from the animal skin backpack, "Are you going to cook here?"

Chen Qi smiled, and his brows and eyes showed tiredness after working for a long time. "Everyone has been fighting for so long, so they should be hungry. I will make something convenient for them to eat."

"I'll help you." Carlo put A Yao on the only wooden bed in the watchtower and asked A Jing to help take care of it. Then he rolled up his sleeves and went outside the door to pick up a pot of snow and come back to melt the snow.

After the snow melted, Chen Qi took out a few bones from his backpack, blanched the blood briefly, added a few slices of wild ginger, and boiled them on the fire.

There was a lot of firewood stacked in the watchtower. Chen Qi took a piece that was relatively flat and large enough. He wiped it with a rag and washed it with water again before putting it on the fire. Heap to dry.

Carlo took out two large pieces of frozen dragon meat from his backpack and thawed. Chen Qi ordered him to chop the meat into minced meat for later use.

After the wooden board was dry, Chen Qi poured out a small pile of rice and berry powder, added a little water and reconciled it. Since he came here, Chen Qi has not eaten pasta for a long time, it is better to say that he has never eaten pasta again. So this time, he used up almost a third of the rice berry powder, and made several pieces of dough, put it aside and waited for the dough to ferment on its own, and then used a wooden rolling pin to take a small piece of dough Roll the dough into a round shape, spread the flavored meat filling on the surface, wrap it carefully, and then use a rolling pin to roll out the meat filling.

Add a little animal fat to the pottery plate and heat it up, put the rolled dough into the pottery plate, take the pottery plate away from the fire, adjust the temperature and start to cook slowly until both sides are golden brown. Just take it out and cut it into slices with a sword horn knife.

Chen Qixian let Ajing and Carlo eat some, and continued to bake the second one by himself.

The taste of the baked meat patties is completely different from the meat patties that were all fried before. Because of the added dough, the meat patties are crispy on the outside, and the meat filling is added with green onion. The filling is fragrant but not greasy. It felt like the whole meat patty was exploding in the mouth, and it was crunchy when bitten.

"Chen Qi, why don't you eat some pads first, and I'll do the rest." After watching Carlo twice, he felt that this method of baking meat patties is not difficult, but the difficulty is probably the baking. When it was time to control the heat, he handed the cut meat patty to Chen Qi, intending to take over the other party's work.

Chen Qizheng wanted to refuse. Carlo learned to fry a lot of meat patties before he learned how to fry them. There was not much rice and berry powder left, but there was no material for him to waste.

"Chen Qi, come and help A Zhang see, he was scratched by the Hyena Dragon." The wooden door was suddenly opened, and A Li's slightly anxious voice came in.

A few people in the room were startled, Chen Qi quickly put down the things in his hand, and simply washed his hands in the pottery plate with hot water next to him. A Li had already helped A Zhang in.

A-Zhang's right arm is covered with a thick animal skin, which has been dyed dark red with blood, and his face is probably a little pale due to the long-term blood loss, "It's just a paw disturbed, it's not as serious as you said. "

Chen Qi frowned and looked at it, then carefully lifted the animal skin, A Zhang gasped in pain, and saw that there were three wounds on his left arm that penetrated half a finger or so, and the blood around the wounds had coagulated a little. But there was still blood oozing from the wound.

A Li sneered and glanced at him coldly, "It is true that a paw was disturbed. The wound is not serious, but the bleeding can't be stopped."

Ah Zhang smiled slightly embarrassedly. He couldn't avoid being scratched when he was hunting the Hyena Dragon. Because he was worried that Ali would see the blood, he hastily wrapped it with animal skins and drove all the Hyena Dragons out of the cave. He still insisted on staying at the entrance of the cave to prevent the Hyena dragon from breaking out. It was because of his increasingly pale face that Ali discovered the abnormality. At that time, Ali was not so angry that he wanted to directly roll up his sleeves and fight him, and hand over the task of guarding the cave to him. Ake then pulled him back in a hurry.

"Ali, first boil a plate of boiling water. After the water boils, use the boiled cloth to wash his wound. I'll go back and get some herbs and needles." The cake was packed with clean animal skins, and then a bamboo tube was filled with bone broth that had just boiled and had no taste, and then went down the fence.

After sending the food to A Ze, who was guarding under the fence, he briefly explained A Zhang's situation, and then hurried back to the house to find bone needles and herbs for hemostasis.

Chen Qi had to be thankful again that because of the credit of the bag of rice berry powder in the storage room, except for the hall that was messed up by the Hyena Dragon, the room was almost still in its original state. It is estimated that the first thing Hyena Dragon chose to enter was the storage room. It turned out to be repelled by a bag of rice berry powder.

After finding what he needed, Chen Qi went back to the watchtower.

The wounds scratched by the hyena dragons are more difficult to heal, so sutures are the easiest method. A Zhang's wound has been carefully cleaned by A Li. Chen Qi boiled the bone needles in boiling water and then put them on the fire to bake a little, and then tied the gut thread and began to help A Zhang sew up.

Both Carlo and Ali stared at Chen Qi's every action step carefully, and remembered them deeply in their hearts. Ali was not there when he was helping Ajing deal with the wound, but he also heard Azhang say Ajing. A Jing's wound could not survive under normal circumstances, so he was always curious about what method Chen Qi used to help A Jing stop the bleeding.

At this moment, seeing Chen Qi holding a bone needle and sewing up A Zhang's wound like sewing, A Li thought this method was surprising, but he didn't ask aloud, so as not to disturb Chen Qi.

"Ali, you help me mash these willow leaves into pieces, Carlo, you mash those little thistles into pieces." Chen Qi's men kept instructing.

The two who received the order got busy. After the wound was sewn up, Chen Qi helped A-Zhang to apply willow leaves to reduce inflammation and pain, then apply Xiaoji to stop the bleeding, and then tie a bandage to fix the herbs. ability.

Chen Qi told A Zhang not to move his injured arm for the past few days, so he washed his hands and continued to bake the patties.

With A Li as a cooking chef, Chen Qi naturally doesn't have to worry about wasting materials. After A Li watched it twice, Chen Qi handed it over to him. He picked up a piece of meat patty and began to pay homage to it with bone broth. The five internal organs of the temple of protest came.
