Ashu piled the two large animal skin-wrapped salt stones at Chen Qi’s feet, “These are the leftover salt stones from our tribe. If you need them, I’ll give them all to you.”
Chen Qi looked at it in surprise, “So many?” Naturally, Chen Qi didn’t have too many salt stones, but what made him feel strange was that the people of the Luoshui tribe would have so many salt stones left without exchanging them.
“These are all going to be exchanged for flint. My brother is teaching the people in the tribe how to drill wood to make fire. This is what the clansmen thanked you for and told me to give it to you. But you can use so many salt stones for many, many years. Will you come to the next meeting?” Ah Shu looked at Chen Qi expectantly.
There are at least three or four hundred salt stones in the four packages. Even if Chen Qi intends to pickle all the prey he hunted in the future, it can be used for two or three years. “The future is not clear, if there is still demand It should come again.”
Ashu is a little disappointed. He still has a good impression of this male who seems to know a lot. It would be nice if he was a member of his own tribe. “We plan to rush back to the tribe tomorrow.” The Luoshui tribe is far from here. This year, they went back early. If they are fast, they should be able to return to the tribe before winter.
Although the square of the Lion and Wolf Tribe is very large, the fire drills made by Chen Qi and the others caused a great sensation. Almost all the orcs who came to the meeting in such a short time knew that there was a way to avoid using them. Flint can make fire.
Although Aze didn’t talk much, he patiently demonstrated to those who came here again and again. After the firewood they had collected before was almost used up, some people brought a lot of firewood from their own homes. If you don’t understand, just repeat it After asking Aze all over the place, he excitedly withdrew from the crowd of onlookers until he was able to make a fire by this method, and made room for the newly surrounded people.
Chen Qi, who was talking to Ashu, saw the man named Ai Li outside the crowd looking gloomily at A Ze in the crowd, Chen Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, “Be careful when you go back, I was there before. I also met a Hyena Dragon on the plain, I don’t know if that Hyena Dragon is still dangling on the plain.” Chen Qi reminded.
“Have you seen the Hyena Dragon on the plain?” Ah Shu was taken aback, but before he could ask in detail, Chen Qi had already turned around and walked towards the crowd who were still demonstrating drilling wood to make fire.
Aze has been demonstrating for several hours. Although his hands are thick and fleshy due to long-term hunting, they are now red because he has been rubbing wooden sticks. Chen Qi asked Aze to stop and let other people from Yanshan tribe replace Aze. To demonstrate, and those who have learned it are also pulled to other places to demonstrate by those who have not yet learned, and Azer has to take a rest.
Chen Qi thought that the man would come over and say something, but when he saw Aze being pulled away by Chen Qi, he just glanced sarcastically and turned away.
Chen Qi poured a little water from the bamboo tube to wash A Ze’s red hands, but luckily the skin was not broken. Although he asked Aze to demonstrate to them, he still couldn’t help but sneered: “You don’t know how to take a break, who would work like you foolishly for so long?”
Aze thought that Chen Qi was angry, and lowered his head to admit his mistake, “I’m sorry.”
Chen Qi patted the other party’s head in a funny way, “I don’t blame you, and you are so reckless, you are the one who is tired.”
“Did you deliberately ask me to demonstrate to them?”
“Well, what? Angry?”
Aze shook his head. It was the first time he was surrounded by so many people for advice. He felt a little unaccustomed, but deep down he was very happy.
Chen Qi brought the roast meat that had been warm by the fire and handed it to A Ze, “You’re hungry, let’s eat something first.”
A Ze took it and took a bite from the stick with the barbecue on it. He had been busy just now, but he didn’t feel anything. Now, as soon as he smelled the smell of the barbecue, his stomach started to churn. As for the wood to make fire, I am really starving at the moment.
After chewing for a while, Aze raised his head and asked, as if remembering something, “Chen Qi, have you eaten?”
Chen Qi handed the broth to the other party, “We’ve all eaten it, these are all for you.”
A Ze took it, the broth was still steaming, maybe it was stewed for too long, it tasted much better than usual broth, one sip, even my heart felt warm.
It was already dark early in the morning, and the square was full of fires of all sizes. Chen Qi looked at the man on the opposite side who was seriously eating barbecue and couldn’t help asking, “Aze, who is the one who came to see you today? Who?”
The movement in Aze’s hand paused for a moment, “That man’s name is Ai Li, who I rescued from the Luoya Forest before. I heard that their tribe used to live in the forest, and was later destroyed by the Hyena Dragon.”
“Oh, so you’re his savior?” Seeing that man’s behavior didn’t look like he was treating his savior.
A Ze was afraid of Chen Qi’s misunderstanding, and quickly explained: “I have nothing to do with him, and I hardly spoke after I brought him back to the tribe.”
“Would you say yes if he asked to live with you like I did?”
Azer looked at Chen Qi silently, if Aili asked to live with him when he brought Aili back to the tribe, would he agree? Probably not, he still remembers the resentful look in Eli’s eyes when he saw his right wrist was smooth, more terrifying than the eyes of the tribesmen in the tribe who simply ignored his existence, as if he was the one who destroyed him. The culprit of the tribe is the same.
Seeing that A Ze didn’t speak, Chen Qi felt a little awkward in his heart. He used a wooden stick to pick up the red-hot charcoal fire in the fire, “A Ze, let’s go home early tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.” Back home, he liked the word.
Chen Qi naturally didn’t want Azer to carry all the four bags of salt stones back by himself. He also planned to slowly look for other food along the way to see if there was anything else to eat. Chen Qi had already had enough seasoning, only salt and wild Jiang Li, even if he can find another perilla tree on the return trip, it will probably make Chen Qi happy for several days.
The rest of the Yanshan tribe still have to stay here for a day. This time A Zhang brought A Le in the hope that the other party can take advantage of this opportunity to find a partner. Naturally, he needs to leave some time for him.
The animal skins and pottery they brought over were replaced with salt stones, and the luggage on the return journey was naturally much less. The two female sons in the tribe who had learned to drill wood to make fire were very grateful to Chen Qi, seeing that Chen Qi had replaced so many salt stones. He enthusiastically said that he would help Chen Qi move back. Chen Qi naturally would not refuse, the females were very strong, Chen Qi also sewed two super-large animal skin backpacks overnight, put the salt stone into the two newly made backpacks, and just put the two backpacks together. fill up. Chen Qi handed over two large bags of salt stones to the female son of the Yanshan tribe, and Aze planned to set out to find food with two empty backpacks.
The orcs in the square were excited all night about drilling wood to make fire, and they gradually dispersed until dawn.
Chen Qi cooked some barbecued meat early in the morning, and filled the bamboo tube with boiling water. After hurriedly eating breakfast with A Ze, he said hello to A Zhang, and left the tribe when there were few people.
Because he was looking for something in the grass, Chen Qi got off Aze’s back after leaving the Lion and Wolf tribe.
The sun had just climbed out of the horizon, and it was quiet all around, with dew still hanging on the yellow grass. Chen Qi took off the animal skin coat and put it back into his shirt, rolled it up and tied it around his waist, holding the sword and horn knife in his hand, eager to try, slightly raised his chin and said to the man beside him, “Let’s go. .”
A Ze nodded, “Okay.” He was also looking forward to what new food Chen Qi could find. It would be great if he could find sweet potatoes. He also wanted to eat the roasted sweet potatoes made by Chen Qi.
Chen Qi looked very carefully, and he didn’t intend to let go of every crack in the grass. In the wilderness, Aze needed to be distracted and pay attention to the surrounding situation, and the speed was naturally not fast.
When A Xu left the Lion and Wolf tribe, he originally planned to go to Chen Qidao to say goodbye, but he didn’t expect the other party to leave earlier than himself, and was a little annoyed that he didn’t get up earlier.
Ashu has sharp eyes. Not long after he left the lion and wolf tribe, he saw two orcs with strange whereabouts not far away. He reached out and pulled Axu who was walking in front, “Brother, does that person look like Chen Qi?”
A Xu looked in the direction A Shu pointed, and found that it was Chen Qi. The two brothers said hello to the leading female son and planned to say goodbye to Chen Qidao.
Chen Qizheng handed a small thistle to A Ze. They had been looking for it for almost an hour, but only two small thistles were found. Chen Qi’s previous excitement was about to be beaten and there was no **** left.
Seeing Chen Qi’s depression, Aze comforted: “After all, the plains are not suitable for plants to survive. Next time I will take you to the outskirts of the forest to see? There are many different kinds of plants there.”
“Isn’t the forest very dangerous? If I go, it will be a hindrance.” Chen Qiguang, the ferocity of dragons, is discouraged by imagining it. He still has self-awareness of his own scum fighting ability. other people’s food.
“The dragons won’t come to the outside before winter comes. We just look around the forest. If we don’t go deep, there is no danger. The males of the tribe also go to the outside of the forest to pick wild fruits in summer. .”
Chen Qi’s eyes lit up, “Then let’s go back and have a look at the forest after finishing the roof.”
“good.”
“Chen Qi.” Ah Shu called out Chen Qi’s name and waved, and after a while, the brothers came to the two of them.
Chen Qi looked at the two strangely, “Why are you here?”
“We were planning to go back to the tribe, and when we saw you here from a distance, we wanted to say goodbye to you.” A Xu explained, “I went to the place where your tribe settled in the morning to find you, but I didn’t expect you to leave so early.”
Chen Qi still has a good impression of the two brothers, after all, the two gave him a lot of salt stones. “You came just fine.”
