There were only two rooms in Chen Qi's house, so A Xu and his brothers were invited by A Zhang to stay at his house for one night. Because they hadn't decided what to exchange, A Zhang planned to take the two of them to the tribe the next day. visit here.
The orcs don't have any good things to hide from other tribes. This world is very dangerous, and no one knows when the destruction of the tribe will happen to them. If other tribes are stronger, Then when you have nowhere to go to cling to, it is naturally safer.
The enemy of an orc is never an orc.
So Azhang did not hide it. He took the two brothers to visit papermaking, pottery making, sewing, etc., and also attended a literacy class. The teacher of the literacy class was still Ajing. He would first talk about Chen Qi. Tell him the story, and then choose a few words that everyone is most interested in in the story and teach them how to write.
Although the orcs didn't need stories to lure the orcs to study seriously, it was obvious that after listening to the stories and then learning, the orcs' interest level increased by more than a little bit. Even the two orcs who joined in the middle of the class listened with gusto, and even spoke with interest. I wrote a few words there with a sand table.
Although it is possible to make paper now, the supply of paper is still in short supply. Naturally, people will not waste paper to practice calligraphy at this time. They still use the sand table that Chen Qi made before. It is clean and convenient to dye the fruit liquid with one hand.
"Hoo." The arrowhead made of bones sank into the grass target, Aze bent down and picked up another arrow, and drew the bow fully again. With the sound of the arrow, it was next to the arrow just now, and again Right in the heart.
"Ah Ze, your arrow skills are getting better and better." Chen Qi couldn't help clapping his hands.
The corners of Aze's lips raised slightly, contentedly enjoying Chen Qi's praise.
The learning of archery is not to practice the accuracy of archery within a fixed distance, but to increase the distance little by little according to the accuracy. From the beginning of ten meters, fifty meters, and one hundred meters, Aze is now Within a range of 150 meters, it can hit a hundred shots.
It's a pity that even though the bow and arrow have been improved several times, as the distance increases, the penetrating power of the arrow weakens. Aze's 150 meters is already the limit of these simple bows. But it doesn't do too much damage to the enemy.
"Is this a long-range weapon? Can it hurt the prey without getting close?" A Xu looked at the pure black wooden bow in A Ze's hand with bright eyes. The bow body was dyed several times with black dyed fruit, and then polished with resin However, it can reflect weak light in the sun, and if you don't look carefully, you will think it is metal.
Seeing A Xu's love for wooden bows, A Ze handed the bow in his hand to the other party, and then handed the other party a bone arrow, "Try it."
A Xu reached out his hand to touch the pitch-black body of the bow, solemnly took the arrow that A Ze handed over, imitated the way A Ze did just now, bent the bow and set the arrow, and shot the arrow, the arrow was still two or three meters away from the target It suddenly fell limply to the ground.
A Xu was stunned.
Seeing A Xu's expression, Chen Qi pursed his lips and smiled, "You are standing too far away. Beginners with this kind of bow are not easy to control. The posture is not good, and if the force is not correct, you will not be able to hit the target." Chen Qi beckoned to him, signaled him to step forward, pointed to a place about fifty meters away and said to him: "Your first arrow is quite powerful, try standing at this distance and shoot again." Arrow to see."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across A Xu's face. Seeing that A Ze shot so easily, he thought he could do it too. He didn't expect this weapon to be so delicate.
According to Chen Qi's guidance, he walked forward for a certain distance, picked up an arrow again, and when he drew the bow fully again, Aze asked him to pause for a while, walked over, and adjusted his standing posture first. Just let him try again.
After a clear howling sound of arrows, the bone-made arrowhead firmly plunged into the target. Ah Shu, who had been watching all this time, finally couldn't help it, "Brother, let me try it too."
A Xu was still reminiscing about the feeling of the arrow just now, it was very strange, and felt his heart agitated inexplicably as the arrow left his hand, he refused his brother's request, "I will shoot another arrow."
Although Ah Shu was envious of that handsome wooden bow, he still took a few steps back. A Xu picked up an arrow, and drew the bow to the full according to the posture that A Ze adjusted just now. Hand, this time it was firmly submerged in the target, and the tail of the arrow kept swinging from side to side.
Although Chen Qi knew that the orcs were very talented in using bows and arrows, it was the first time he had seen such a perfect bow posture. If he hadn't known that it was the first time for A Xu to touch a bow and arrow, he would have thought that the other party Is it a professional player from somewhere
Ah Shu couldn't tell whether A Xu shot well or not. After seeing A Xu finished shooting, he couldn't wait to step forward, "Brother, it's my turn."
A Xu reluctantly handed the wooden bow to A Shu, then stepped aside to watch.
"If you like wooden bows, you can make one yourself later." Seeing A Xu retreating to his side, A Zhang said with a smile.
Hearing A Zhang's words, A Xu pulled back from the feeling that the arrow hit the target just now, with a look of surprise and excitement on his face, "Would you like to teach me how to make a wooden bow?"
A Zhang nodded, learning to use bows and arrows, the casualty rate of the orcs during hunting can also be reduced a lot.
A Xu straightened his face. He probably used up all the surprises and excitement that he had lived for more than 20 years today. He looked at A Zhang solemnly, and said sincerely: "Thank you."
Although their tribe did not encounter hyena dragons this winter, when they went hunting in Luoshui Lake in early summer, two females were accidentally dragged into the water. Thick and thick prey kills with one arrow, but as long as it can be used to harass the prey from a long distance, it can also win a chance for the companions in distress.
"I'll exchange the salt stones and octopus I brought with you for how to make a wooden bow." After all, he can't take things from other tribes for nothing.
Azhang smiled, "Then you stay here for a few more days to see what you think you need to learn and bring back to the tribe."
Azhang didn't intend to hide his secrets. He also knew that the number of Luoshui tribes decreased year by year. Now there are fewer and fewer tribes nearby. If Chen Qi taught them these things, other tribes would be free He is naturally willing to teach them everything he can to ensure their ability and living standards become better.
Since the occurrence of several dragon changes in winter, Azhang always felt a sense of uneasiness lingering in his heart. He was worried that in the next winter, such changes would become more frequent, in case hordes of dragons attacked , judging from the defenses of other tribes he knew, they couldn't stop them at all.
Ah Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked up at the tall city wall not far away, hoping that this thing could really become an iron wall to protect them as Chen Qi said.
A Shu's understanding is not as good as A Xu's. He shot seven or eight arrows in a row before he finally found the feeling. A Ze also patiently told him some archery experiences he had summed up. If he is familiar with it, he can only briefly talk about how to use the bow and arrow, and the orcs can only rely on the orcs to figure out the rest.
After trying a few times, Axu and Axu did not continue to practice. Azhang took them up the city wall and turned around. They didn't feel much when they were under the city wall. Once they stepped on the top, Axu realized that the city wall was like this. The width and the thickness, it is estimated that there is no problem in blocking hyena dragons.
"This city wall is made of fired mud bricks." Azhang pointed to the reddish-brown wall under his feet.
A Xu, who was still thinking about how to build such a city wall in his tribe just now, could not help but darken his eyes when he heard that his tribe did not have suitable soil for firing.
As if guessing what the other party was thinking, Azhang smiled and patted Axu on the shoulder, "Of course, there are many ways to build a city wall, not all of them are made of fired mud bricks, you can look around your tribe. What is the most, such as stones and trees, can also build a city wall."
Without the guidance of others, it is difficult for the orcs to diverge their thinking. It can also be built with other materials. Chen Qi told him when the construction of the city wall was just started and the firing of mud bricks was not going well.
Hearing Azhang's words, the light in Axu's eyes returned again. Mud bricks cannot be fired, but their tribe has no shortage of stones. There are several rocky mountains around the Luoshui tribe, which is rare.
After visiting the city wall, Ah Zhang brought the two brothers back to school. Because it was almost noon, Chen Qi went back to cook first. Before leaving, he asked Ah Shu if he wanted to go back and cook together. He could teach him some food recipes.
The two brothers had eaten the food made by Chen Qi last night. They had never eaten food cooked by other methods besides roasted meat and boiled meat. Moreover, the cooked food did not have the bitter taste of salt stone. The salt was exchanged from their hands, and it turned out that someone else could make the salt stone taste better than theirs, and the two brothers were a little ashamed.
The time they can stay here can't be too long. Axu doesn't want to waste time, but there are too many novelty things in Qize City. The two brothers discussed it and decided that Axu should learn how to make a bow from Azhang first. Ah Shu went back with Chen Qi to learn how to cook.
Chen Qi didn't care, he was willing to teach them everything he knew.
Chen Qicai had just returned home, and hadn't entered the courtyard yet, when Ale saw Chen Qi from a distance with a big backpack on his back, he couldn't wait to stop him.
"What's wrong?" Chen Qi asked suspiciously looking at Ah Le who was running with his face flushed.
Ale unloaded the backpack behind him, opened it carefully, and took out an egg the size of a basketball with some light blue round spots, "Look at what this pterosaur egg can make!" delicious?"
"..."
Not only Ale, but now other people in the tribe will bring them to Chen Qi once they find any new food, let him see what can make new food, Chen Qi did not disappoint them, every time Every time I can tinker with something new. Of course, the taste cannot be guaranteed to be delicious every time.
Chen Qi sighed in his heart, obviously his cooking skills are very average, even Ali and Aze he taught are better than him, but in the eyes of the orcs in the tribe, could it be that there is a chef named cook hanging on his head? God's title
