Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

"I don't want to build any ice walls anymore!" Looking at the messy hall, this was the first thought in Chen Qi's heart at this moment.

Fortunately, the doors of other rooms were closed, and the water flow did not flush the doors open, and the water seeping through the cracks of the doors was not enough to flood the entire room. There are wooden shelves in the storage room. Chen Qi, such as salt and cured meat, are placed on the wooden shelves, and there are also wooden boxes, but they are not wet.

The room in front of Ali's house, which was half collapsed by the Hyena Dragon, was completely collapsed after being hit by the water this time. A-Zhang also laughed and said that it saved them the strength to dismantle it again. At a glance, let him clean up the gravel scattered around the house by himself.

Before Ake left with Carlo on his back, he closed the door, and stuck the door with wood. The water couldn't break through the door, but the loss was the least, as long as the water seeping into the room was wiped clean.

Chen Qi asked Aze to set up a few hangers outside the courtyard, and sighed while taking the soaked animal skins out to dry. He had also considered whether to build an ice cellar and store some ice in the winter for use in the hot summer. , Judging from the speed at which even a few meters wide ice wall can melt in an instant, it seems that it is very unrealistic to build an ice cellar here. If you want to have ice in summer, you can only think of other ways.

There are also two large boxes of raw meat for the winter. Without ice, Chen Qi was worried that the meat would deteriorate. Before the temperature change was not so obvious, he first used half of it to make cured meat, and half of it directly made various cooked foods. , It was planned to be used as dry food on the road when they went to pick up the clansmen. Several people were busy until the evening before finishing the pile of food.

The heated kang was wet because it had been soaked in water. Chen Qi tidied up the slate bed that had not been used in his and Azer's room for more than half a year, and threw Ajing and the little wolf cub into Azer's room and let them Sleeping alone, he took Aze back to his room, and the two finally had the opportunity to be alone at night.

"Sorry." After a long day of work, Azer slumped his head. If he could close the door as carefully as Ake when he went out in the morning, the water would not rush into the room. Nothing will be damaged by water.

Chen Qi playfully pushed away the bangs on his forehead, "You didn't expect the wall to suddenly melt, right? It's already great to be able to take us to evacuate right away. Why do you have to apologize?"

After speaking, he sighed helplessly, "You acridine, don't take it to yourself as soon as you have something, today is a busy day, rest early, tomorrow A Zhang and A Ke will go to the Lion and Wolf tribe to pick up the clansmen. Come back." Chen Qi said with emotion: "I really didn't expect summer to come so unexpectedly. But that's fine, at least there won't be any more danger on the plains."

Dragons will not appear on the plains in summer, and even Hyena dragons will return to the center of the forest. Only some herbivorous dragons will stay outside the forest. These are also the food source of the beasts throughout the summer.

The next morning, A Zhang and Ake set out with animal skin backpacks full of food. After packing up the house, Chen Qi had time to check the situation in the yard.

Before, Chen Qi piled up the charcoal ash from the whole winter in one place behind the house. He originally planned to open a few plots to improve the soil quality after the summer came, but the charcoal ash was washed away by the water. In the nearby grass, there was only a small pile of charcoal and ashes left. Chen Qi used a bone shovel to gather the small pile of charcoal and ashes together.

Before the tribesmen came, Chen Qixian circled the approximate location of the tribe. The weeds on the plain were probably growing very fast due to the warming temperature. Chen Qiqi inserted a few sticks into the soil and marked the approximate number of them. As for the scope of the area, he originally considered drawing the water from the Chishui River to build a moat or something, but after the last Crocodile Dragon incident, this plan was directly rejected by him. He only hoped that he could try it around. Drill a well or two out, at least you don't need to run that far every time you fetch water.

The yard shared by the three families in the winter can no longer be used. Chen Qi only encircled the area that he and Azer needed for the original house, and asked Azer to go to the tribe and move some slate back, and re-enclosed a new one. A small yard, and then built a wall that was only about half a meter high. Chen Qi dug up the glue fruit that was originally spread on the ground, opened a few plots in the corner of the yard, and sprinkled a thin layer of charcoal ash on it. Then the charcoal ashes are turned under the soil. I haven't found anything to plant, so I put it like this.

Looking at the house separated by the wall, Carlo muttered a little dissatisfiedly, "Why do you want to separate our house? It will take a long circle to find you in the future."

Chen Qi explained to him with a smile, "I plan to plant something in the yard. If there is no fence, it will be bad for some animals to break in or children to step in."

Orcs don't have the awareness of planting, I'm afraid not only children, if adults come to his house, I'm afraid they will directly step on the ground and pass by, and there are walls blocking them. .

Carlo didn't say much. Anyway, his house is next door. When Ake comes back, he will have to demolish the house and rebuild it. He will also build a fence, and let Chen Qilai take a detour to his house.

Chen Qi built the wall for another reason, to make the new tribe look neater. Thinking that each family is a single-family house with a small yard, it is like returning to the modern society. Not only did he do it himself, he also planned to let the rest of the tribe do it.

A large road leads directly from Chen Qi's house to the main entrance of the city wall. The school is next to Chen Qi's house, just opposite to Carlo's house. The school covers a large area. Even if it only planned to build two or three rooms at the beginning, the location of the sports field is still there. To stay, summer is here, and Chen Qi will put his sports on the agenda again.

A Zhang and the others came back a week later. There were about 30 people who came back together. There were a few unfamiliar faces that Chen Qi had never seen before. A Ze said that they were clansmen who had moved to the Lion and Wolf tribe before.

The male of the Lion and Wolf tribe, whom Ale wanted to abduct in his heart, still hadn't been abducted, and he felt a little sad along the way.

A Zhang introduced the situation to a few people and then they knew each other. Both Carlo and Ali moved to Chen Qi's house. A Ze's original house had been emptied, plus the two rooms of Carlo's house and Ali's house. It's not a problem to accommodate thirty people, and A Xu and Chen Qi, who are familiar with them, live together in the hall of Chen Qi's house.

Because the planning of the house was done by Chen Qi a few days ago with other people, now as long as the other people choose the place where they want to live, they can directly move the materials back and start the construction.

Except for a few blood-related people who wanted to live together, everyone else built a house, which was naturally not as big as Chen Qi's house, but they all built three bedrooms and one house according to Chen Qi's standard. The hall, the so-called three rooms, is actually just two rooms. With the hall as the center, the two rooms are facing each other, and one of them is separated by a wall as a storage room and a washroom.

In the past, Chen Qi built several large pits next to the ditch where the sewage was piled up. According to the previous method, the domestic sewage of every family in the tribe would be discharged into these large pits, so that the orcs would not dump it everywhere and make the tribe dirty. , can also be used as compost, and can be used to improve the land for planting in the future. Moreover, this place was planned by Chen Qi to be outside the city, and it was also some distance away from the tribe, so there was no need to worry that the smell would drift into the tribe.

The busy construction task lasted for more than a month. The weeds on the plain have grown to knee-high, and the tall acacia trees around them have regrown leaves and are now lush.

Most of the people in the tribe have already started to live in their new homes. Carlo and A Zhang, like Chen Qi’s house, have a big one and four rooms. The three houses are exactly the same in size, and they look spectacular from a distance. of.

During this period of time, he was busy getting the house done first. Naturally, the roads and city walls in the tribe had not yet had time to build, but Chen Qi was still a little dazed when he saw the gray and white slate houses.

"Chen Qi, I really dug into the water." Carlo's excited voice pulled back Chen Qi's thoughts, and Chen Qi hurriedly walked over. It was in the area of ​​the school, where the weeds grew more than others. The place is lush, and the soil is a little more moist than other places. Chen Qi just tried it, but he didn't expect that water would come out within two meters of digging.

With this well, at least there is no need to go all the way to the Chishui River to fetch water.

In the past few days, the source of food in the tribe is to catch a few fish in the river while fetching water. Now almost everyone in the tribe uses fish as food. Ali often goes to everyone's home to teach them some simple food. way of doing.

After more than a month in the summer, Ah Zhang finally decided to temporarily put aside the construction task for a day, planning to organize a few females to go hunting in the forest.

Because of the disappearance of Dolphinosaurus, the only large herbivorous dragons that can be hunted in the forest now are Antelopeosaurus and Ceratosaurus. There is also a dragon that looks like a rabbit and a wild boar. As fast and good at punching holes, it is not easy to catch them.

During this time, A-Chang would teach a few females how to use bows and arrows when he was free. The rabbit dragon was very timid. Once frightened or blocked, he would freeze in place. The lethality of bows and arrows might not be able to deal with one of them. The trick is deadly, but it is still very useful to scare such timid creatures. Although the rabbit dragon is not as huge as those two or three meters high dragons, it is also as big as an ordinary wild boar. As long as you can catch a few Only enough for the people in the tribe to eat for a while.

A Ze did not go hunting with A Zhang and the others, but helped Chen Qi to build an earthen kiln next to the school. It was for A Li to try to burn mud bricks. If you want to build a city wall, it is obviously not enough to use all slate. Yes, there is a lack of large stones on the plains. A city wall needs to be built at least six or seven meters to block those huge dragons. Naturally, such a large project requires a different material. Chen Qi first thought of it. Just bricks.

Orcs already have the skill of firing pottery, and it is a simple matter to fire mud bricks.
