After the first jar of wine was buried, Chen Qi was not in a hurry to continue making it. After all, he didn't know how the wine would ferment in the end. He planned to dig it out in a month to see how the finished product was before deciding whether to continue making wine. Anyway It's still early for winter, Chen Qi is not in a hurry.
The wound on Aze's neck was so healed that even the scar was gone. During this time, Chen Qi also taught Carlo how to make a lifebuoy. After burying the wine, he saw that the sun was still a while away from sunset. Chen Qi waved his hand , Called Carlo, who was raising the children at home, and Aze, who was teaching a few female hunting teams how to make bows at school, and a group of people set out for the Chishui River in a mighty manner.
What are you doing? Of course I taught them how to swim.
"Swimming?" Azhang, who was also making a bow, his eyes lit up after hearing Chen Qi's explanation, he quickly put down his work, and went to the Chishui River happily with a few females present.
As a result, except for the few guards from the tribe and those who went out to look for wild fruits but did not come back, everyone followed. Chen Qi originally wanted to teach Aze and Carlo first and then popularize it to other people. , Now it's all right, let's teach together.
Chen Qi's swimming skills are not very good. His freestyle swimming is a bit like a dog crawling, which belongs to the range of being able to swim without sinking, like other butterfly strokes and backstrokes. Sorry, he only knows a rough idea. , but cannot swim by itself.
Chen Qi had never taught anyone how to swim. Speaking of which, he hadn't officially swam for several years since he started working. He briefly explained the dos and don'ts of swimming to others, and then demonstrated how to use the life buoy.
Aze has been watching Chen Qi's movements worriedly, intending to pull Chen Qi back to the shore if any accident occurs, Aze himself can't swim, of course he can't let Chen Qi go into the water with confidence, Chen Qi can't hold him back, just He can tie a rope around his waist for the other party to hold, so that Aze can't feel at ease, even if he can't get into the water by himself.
The buoyancy of the life buoy is not bad, and it can fully bear the weight of a grown man. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the orcs to catch fish, now the fish will automatically and consciously avoid people when they see someone approaching, and they can’t see those with sharp teeth. Chen Qi felt that the Chishui River was much cuter. But Chen Qi didn't dare to swim to the center of the river, he just swam briefly around the river bank and came back.
Standing in the shallow water area and wiping his face, Chen Qi handed the life buoy to Azhang, "You guys can get acquainted with the water at the beginning, and you won't be afraid of sinking into the water if you put this on your body."
Seeing Chen Qi's nimble figure in the water, the orcs on the shore began to move a little bit. If they can learn this so-called swimming, then they don't need to detour when they encounter rivers in the future, and they don't need to worry that they will be caught if they accidentally fall into the water. drowned.
Azhang didn't specially make a tight-fitting suit as a swimsuit like Chen Qi did. Although Chen Qi felt that everyone was a man, the orcs here were divided into male and female, so naturally they couldn't go into the water naked. Azhang didn't take off his clothes, he just put on camouflage pants and a T-shirt and went into the water.
People who can't swim reflexively have fear of water. Azhang didn't dare to go too deep, and stopped when he reached the waist level of the water.
"Try to lay your body flat." Chen Qi walked to his side and guided him to make movements.
A Zhang nodded, imitating Chen Qi's appearance and slowly lifted his feet up, half of the life buoy was pressed into the water by A Zhang's weight. The orcs on the shore watched Azhang's movements nervously, especially Ali, who was pulling the rope around Azhang's waist, swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and pulled him away once Azhang sank into the water. Decisions in the water.
When Ah Zhang slowly floated to the surface of the water, Chen Qi helped him adjust his posture, "Try to hit the water with your feet. If you are afraid, you can grab the edge of the ring, but don't scratch it too hard." Chen Qi reminded.
Ah Zhang raised his left foot to pat the water, perhaps because he was too hard, his body lost his balance, and the other foot quickly stood firmly on the bottom of the river, Chen Qigang hadn't touched Ah Zhang with his hand that was about to reach out to help him Azhang, Azhang was already standing straight in the river.
"..." Should he just pull the opponent into the deep water area to learn
"Brother, are you here?" The slightly shorter man looked at the row of reddish-brown city walls in the distance and asked hesitantly.
A trace of doubt flashed in the beautiful blue eyes of the tall and handsome man next to him, "Before he said he was half an hour away from Yanshan."
"We didn't come from the direction of the lion wolf tribe, could it be that we went in the wrong direction?" asked the slightly shorter man.
"Let's go and have a look first."
"it is good."
Two figures carrying huge animal skin backpacks ran towards the reddish-brown city wall neatly, as if the heavy backpacks on their backs were as light as a feather, and did not hinder their actions in the slightest.
"Who?" Seeing an orc coming, Ale, who was guarding in front, jumped off the ropes on the city wall. Only wooden ladders are placed inside the city wall, and there are only a few straw ropes tied outside to facilitate guarding. The female descends the city wall.
"We are from the Luoshui tribe, do you have a son named Chen Qi here?" A Xu looked at the young guard who fell from the sky, and asked politely.
A Le slightly frowned and looked at the two strange orcs. He was busy hooking up with the male son of the lion wolf tribe before, but he had never seen these two brothers before. What happened to Chen Qi was an afterthought. I just found out.
Seeing that Ah Le just watched them not talking, Ah Shu stepped forward impatiently, "Chen Qi said that we came here to exchange things with him, does he live here?"
Seeing that the two of them were carrying a huge backpack behind them, Ah Le nodded, "We have a male named Chen Qi here, please register with me first, and then you can enter the tribe to find him."
"Registration?" The two brothers looked at each other suspiciously. What is that
Ale didn't explain much, but walked to a large wooden table inside the door, took out a book sewn with thread from the drawer, sat on the stool, took out a bamboo tube containing black fruit dye, While stirring the liquid inside with a wooden stick, he asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Ashu." Ashu pointed to the man beside him, "This is my brother Axu."
A Le spread out the book, took a quill pen and dipped it in a little black fruit dye, and wrote the word "A Shu" in the line of the book, this registration method was suggested by Chen Qi. In this way, no matter who comes and who leaves, it will be clear at a glance. However, since the Yanshan tribe was merged, no one will visit. This is the first time in the past few years that people from other tribes have come to find someone. It is the first time for Ale. Doing this kind of registration still feels quite new and a little exciting.
"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Ah Shu saw that the other party was holding a feather of a winged bird to paint on a strange thing, and suddenly frowned again as if he was caught in some serious problem. Can't help but ask aloud.
"How do you write the word Xu?" Ale swept his chin with the feather of the quill pen. He couldn't remember how to write the word, so he raised his head and wanted to ask someone, but remembered that the two people in front of him were from other tribes. , now in the entire orc world, I am afraid that only those from Qi Ze City have learned such writing.
As soon as Ah Le spoke, he stood up with his notebook in his arms, ran to the side of the city wall next to him, and began to mutter to the wall full of thousands of characters, "The world is mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric..."
Ah Shu looked at the wall with black letters on a white background. He had never seen words before, but felt that the words were strange, "What are you reading?"
"Strange? Why is there no Xu character?" Ale frowned and read it again.
In just three months, although the orcs have learned a lot of words, when they really use them, they are limited to such simple words as the weather is fine today, what did they eat today, and what is my name? .
People like A Le who always confuse the characters thought of a stupid way. Didn’t Chen Qi write the thousand-character text at the gate of the city for the convenience of the clansmen? Then he would memorize the thousand-character text. Read the words you know one by one in the thousand-character text, so that you will always find the word you need.
Don't think this direction is stupid, but the effect is good. At least it can expand the diary they usually write from one sentence to two sentences, and now they can write a paragraph. Of course, although Ah Le forcibly memorized the thousand-character text, he still couldn't recognize all the characters.
"What Xu character?" The two brothers were confused by A Le.
Ah Le sighed, drew a circle behind Ah Shu's name on the notebook, and then noted "Brother Ah Shu" in brackets. After finishing writing, he waved to the two brothers, "Registration is complete, you can enter Tribal. But now there is no one in the tribe, Chen Qi took them to Chishui River to learn swimming."
"..."
Speaking of this, Ah Le was depressed, why did he choose to learn swimming on the day when he was the guard? He really wants to go too.
This world does not have the habit of entertaining guests when they arrive. After finishing his registration work, Ale pointed the two of them in the direction of Chen Qi's house, and climbed back from the wooden ladder next to the watchtower on the top of the city wall to continue. The alert went.
The two brothers of the Luoshui tribe looked at Ale who left and the empty tribe looked at each other.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
"Let's take a look in the tribe first, and wait for Chen Qi to come back." He was quite interested in this strange tribe.
As long as it is not dangerous, no matter which tribe it is, it will not be on guard against foreign orcs. The two brothers looked in shock at the neatly planned houses, clean and spacious roads, and all kinds of ghost needle flowers blooming around the yard. , They have never seen the Horde built like this.
"Brother, why does this tribe look so... strange?" Ah Shu tilted his head, unable to think of how to describe it.
A Xu smiled, "I guess it's all from Chen Qi's hand."
"How is it possible?" Ah Shu looked at his brother in surprise, "That Xiongzi changed the tribe to this by himself?"
Remembering that he exchanged all the salt stones with them with the animal skin backpack, and later taught those who could not exchange for flint how to drill wood to make fire, a light flashed in A Xu's beautiful blue eyes, but he just shook his head and said nothing. He didn't answer his brother's question.
