“I’m fine.” Seeing Chen Qi pulling himself up and down to check after he got down from the city wall, Aze smiled helplessly and said, “It’s true, I didn’t lie to you.”
Chen Qicai was relieved after seeing that there were no torn marks on Aze’s clothes. This can’t blame him for worrying, mainly because the scene where Aze was chased by the Hyena Dragons was too thrilling. If the other party was accidentally harassed by the Hyena Dragons, Chen Qi felt that he would have nightmares for several days. .
The action of the Hyena Dragons has become a bit sluggish because they have been anesthetized by tobacco. Although the strength of the struggle has decreased, the orcs did not dare to relax their vigilance. The dragon’s throat was pierced, and the Hyena dragon was completely motionless before pulling it up. Although the process was a little longer, it was better than safety.
This time, the hunt for Hyena dragons excited the orcs in the entire Qi Ze City. They had never tried to kill so many hyena dragons without any casualties at all. With four or five times as many hyena dragons, the orcs would not even want to fight the hyena dragons.
After dealing with this batch of hyena dragons, A Zhang took the orcs of the patrol team to explore the vicinity of the Chishui River several times, and even searched the area opposite the Chishui River. After confirming that there were no traces of other dragons’ activities, it was restored. everyday hunting.
Thanks to the Hyena Dragon and the Iron Armored Dragon, the orcs have enough bait, and they are not afraid of wasting it. In just a few days, they have caught enough meat for the entire tribe in winter.
After the meat was sufficient, A-Chang stopped letting people go fishing, but began to harvest all the tobacco around Qi Ze City before winter came. Tobacco will wither after winter, and when it is mixed with other weeds, it will be difficult to distinguish which are tobacco and which are ordinary weeds, so we can only reserve the required amount in the last week or so. .
The moat was restored to its original camouflage, and a layer of hay mixed with grease and tobacco was re-covered under the bed.
Because Yehuo wanted to study with Chen Qi, he moved the place of study to the courtyard of Chen Qi’s house during this time.
During this time, the little wolf cub has grown up a lot. Every time Yehuo comes over and sees a giant wolf **** standing in the yard, he feels a little stunned. When he used to live in the Luoshui tribe, he had never been so close. I have had contact with the giant wolf god. Even if he knew the habits of the Giant Wolf God, he was still a little unaccustomed to it in a short period of time.
It’s a pity that although this giant wolf **** is raised in the orc tribe, except for a few familiar people, he doesn’t like to be touched by other orcs. If you order something to feed it, the little wolf cub is reluctantly willing to let the other party touch his white hair.
As soon as he pushed open the fence gate of the yard, he saw the giant wolf **** standing at the door. Yehuo skillfully took out a cloth-wrapped object from his cloth bag and handed it to the little wolf cub who stepped forward with his nose He sniffed, then opened his mouth and took it over, looked up at Yehuo, then flicked his tail a few times and turned back to look for A Jing.
Ajing is sitting at the table reviewing his homework. In Chen Qi’s words, Ajing’s age is the right time to study, so apart from going to the playground with Chen Qi every morning and evening to exercise, the other time is to study Professor Chen Qi’s homework and Teach the orcs of the tribe to read. Occasionally, A Ze would bring A Jing with him when he was picking wild fruits nearby, mainly to take him to identify various plants.
The entire tribe estimated that only A Jing could bear to sit in front of the desk and read those boring words every day. Even if the others found the words interesting, they could not bear to study them for at most two or three hours a day. At the beginning, Carlo studied with the other party for a few days, but he gave up after not insisting on it for a long time. The process of learning words was not as interesting as cooking a delicious food. Of course, those who can withstand these boring words now have to add a night fire.
Seeing the little wolf cub coming over, A Jing stopped writing, and the little wolf cub handed the thing he was holding to A Jing, A Jing skillfully took it and opened it. Inside were two warm roasted sweet potatoes, A Jing skillfully I peeled one for the little wolf cub, and peeled the rest for myself.
When Yehuo first fed the little wolf cubs, he once brought grilled fish over. I don’t know if the little wolf cubs had a bad taste. He didn’t even shake the food at all. In the end, he found that there was only roasted sweet potato. Food that does not need to test cooking skills entered the mouth of the little wolf cub. Yehuo once wondered if his cooking skills were really so bad that even the giant wolf **** disliked it, but every time he saw Ale eating happily, he gave up thinking about it.
Chen Qigang finished watering the two trays of mugwort, and before the morning sun was not too fierce, Chen Qizheng moved the two trays of mugwort to the middle of the yard to bask in the sun.
“Can this thing feed?” Yehuo asked, putting his things on the wooden table under the fig tree.
Chen Qi fiddled with the shriveled leaves of Artemisia argyi and stood up, “I should be able to, it has been raised for several days and it has not been raised to death by me, and the flowers on it have begun to slowly seed. “
“Does this still produce seeds?” Ye Huo curiously leaned over and looked, and found that the little yellow flowers had indeed begun to wither and produce seeds.
“Why did you bring so many things here today?” Chen Qi looked at the two large cloth bags on the table and asked in confusion.
“I don’t need to hunt recently. Ale found a lot of wild fruits, and I brought some for you.”
Chen Qi opened the cloth bag and found that there were some that he had seen before, and some that he had never seen before. Among the piles of red and purple wild fruits, there was a familiar object as thick as a child’s arm. He picked it up. Peeling off the green coat outside, I saw the familiar golden particles inside, “Is this corn?”
“Corn?” Yehuo looked at the things in Chen Qi’s hands, “This kind of wild fruit has no name, and it is not delicious. If you eat too much, your stomach will swell up. Ale said that you like to collect all kinds of strange wild fruits. , he picked some for you.”
Chen Qi asked excitedly, “How many of these wild fruits are there? Where were they picked?”
Yehuo was stunned for a while, “This kind of wild fruit doesn’t grow much on the plains. As for where to pick it, you need to ask Ale to find out.”
“Okay, then please ask Ale for me later. If there are still such wild fruits, pick them back no matter how many.” Chen Qi also knew that Ale went out with Aze and the others early in the morning today. Not in the tribe at all. Today they need to go to the edge of the forest to cut firewood for winter. Almost all the young females are dispatched. In the last week before winter, they all need to give firewood for the entire tribe. cut back.
Chen Qi turned out all the corn in the bag, there were only three corns in total, he took the corn back into the house to wash it, put on the coat and put it into the pottery plate with water and started to raise the fire to boil.
Ye Huo followed and watched Chen Qi’s movements, “Does this kind of wild fruit need to be cooked with fire?”
“Well, you can also roast it with fire.” Chen Qi smiled, “The cooked one tastes much better than the one you eat raw.” However, he has never eaten raw corn.
After the water was boiled, Chen Qi added some salt to taste, and while cooking the corn, in order to save some firewood, he made lunch with A Jing ahead of time.
The corn that just came out of the pot is sweet and glutinous. I don’t know if Chen Qi hasn’t eaten corn for too long or if the plants in this world taste better when cooked. Chen Qi thinks this is the best corn he has ever eaten.
After tasting the taste of corn, Yehuo regretted that he had spoiled such delicious wild fruits in the past few decades. This time, Chen Qi didn’t need to remind him. He had already made up his mind to let Ale be there when he returned. Look around for corn.
Chen Qi kept half of it for A Ze, and A Jing and the little wolf cub ate one.
After eating the boiled corn, Ye Huo followed A Jing to learn to read, and Chen Qi took the printed books that had been bound in the past few days to the school.
A wooden bookcase was built at the back door of the school’s classroom. Now, as long as the new book is ready, Chen Qi will put the book in the bookcase. The orcs who have nothing to do will come here to read the book, and some orcs will take the book home. , will come back after reading it.
In the sewing classroom, Ali is teaching a few boys to learn to sew clothes. The fur of the snow bear that Aze hunted has been dried. Chen Qi also drew a design for Ali. At the moment, Ali is making new clothes for Chen Qi. The animal skin coat explained to the males.
Since the hyena wandering by the Chishui River was dealt with, the days in Qize City have become quiet and peaceful again, the construction of the tribe is also proceeding slowly, and the preparations for the winter have almost been stored, even if Even the newly joined orcs are confident that they can spend this winter safely and adequately.
This year, the orcs in Qize City did not go to the Lion and Wolf tribe to participate in the inter-tribal gatherings. Instead, Ayan came again with a few female sons. They originally wanted to remind the people of Qize City that there were hyenas by the Chishui River. The dragon was active, but when he arrived, he found that Qi Ze City had annihilated the group of hyena dragons.
The arrival of Ayan let the orcs in Qize City know that the Lion-Wolf Tribe had encountered a Hyena Dragon on the way back. Fortunately, there were more orcs in the Lion-Wolf Tribe, and the Hyena Dragon quickly evacuated after killing only one orc. Yes, except for the loss of a clan, there were no other casualties.
“However, many small tribes who came to the meeting this time have been attacked by iron armored dragons or hyena dragons. Several tribes have already planned to merge into the lion and wolf tribe before winter.” The reason why Ayan is late It took so long to come to Qize City, and I also planned to wait for the other tribes to come to the Lion and Wolf tribe to find out what happened this year and let A-Zhang know.
“No wonder there are so many dragon activities recently. We have encountered several dragons here recently. Last year, there were several locust dragon swarms and antelope dragon swarms passing by here. The avalanches of the lion and wolf tribe are also dragon swarms. As a result, even if the number of you has increased a lot this year, you can’t be careless.”
“Yeah.” Ayan nodded, “Recently, our tribe has also begun to build city walls, but the tribe is too big, and it is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Unlike you here, you can dig a moat. But the female guards who go out to guard have already We have increased a lot. People from other tribes in this gathering also learned how to catch fish and cook fish. In summer, they ventured into the forest and damaged a lot of guards, and many tribes simply did not store enough food for winter. Food, after returning this time, they should be able to survive the winter by catching fish, and it will be fine when all the animals on the plains migrate back next year.”
Ayan bowed gratefully to everyone in Qize City, “I would like to thank you for this exchange.” Otherwise, many tribes would not be able to survive this winter due to lack of enough food.
A Zhang patted him on the shoulder, “This is also thanks to the information you conveyed.”
After all the news to be conveyed was conveyed, Ayan took the people away. The preparations for the winter of the Lion and Wolf tribe have not yet been completed. He cannot stay here for too long. Before leaving, he will exchange the supplies he brought with the orcs of Qi Ze City. After that, knowing that the Hyena Dragon near Chishui River had been dealt with, he rushed back to the Lion and Wolf Tribe overnight.
