"Aze, can I go over and have a look?" The sound of rumbling water shook Chen Qi's heart, Chen Qi patted Aze on the shoulder lightly, motioning him to stop.
Hearing Chen Qi's inquiry, A Ze called to stop A Xu who was walking in front.
"Has Chen Qi never seen Duo Sahe?" Ah Xu turned around and asked.
"I haven't seen it either." Alegao raised his hands to express his opinion. The Luoshui tribe is not on the other side of the Dosa River. According to their direction, they will leave the range of the Dosa River if they walk a little longer. , Ah Le, who was traveling for the first time, also wanted to take a closer look at such a magnificent river.
Ah Xu smiled, and asked the opinions of the two brothers A Xu, A Xu has been coming to attend the gathering held by the lion and wolf tribe in the past few years, he has passed by the Duosa River several times, but he has not been close to it. Everyone wanted to see it, and he couldn't help being aroused a little interest.
"Then let's go and have a look." Seeing that no one had any objections, Chen Qi couldn't wait to urge Aze to go over quickly.
Most of the orcs on the Dora Plain live near the Dosa River or its tributaries. Only the original rock tribes will always insist on living in the Chishui River.
The surface of the Dosa River is very wide, and you can barely see the situation on the other side of the river. There is no beach formed by the impact of the water on the river bank, and the river bank is much higher than the river surface. The impact is round and smooth, perhaps due to the long-term soaking of water vapor, the stones on the shore are covered with thick moss.
The water of the Duosa River is not clear, with a little reddish brown. The roaring water can compete with the Yellow River during the flood period. I heard that there are two tall rocky mountains in a place where the river channel is relatively narrow. It spans the entire river and connects the plains on both sides of the Dosa River. It is also the only way for animals to migrate every year. Thanks to the two rocky mountains, the Dora Plain will not be divided by the Dosa River. into two parts.
Chen Qi got off A Ze's back, the river water slapped onto the rocks and splashed a layer of water mist, and the wind sprayed Chen Qi's head and face, making Chen Qi slightly squinted his eyes in such a hot weather.
"Don't get too close." A Ze held Chen Qi's hand and reminded him.
"Well, I'll take a look at the river bank."
Chen Qi looked around and found a rock that was much higher not far away. There were not too many weeds around, and the dry surface of the rock could be clearly seen. Chen Qi pointed to the rock, "A Ze , let's go over there."
Aze took the heavy backpack from Chen Qi's back and carried it behind his back, looked up at the direction Chen Qi was pointing at, the rock was huge and the surface looked smooth, Aze nodded, took Chen Qi's hand, He walked to the side near the river bank, then nodded and replied: "Okay."
It was almost noon at this time, Ah Xu decided to rest directly on the bank of the river. Ah Le took out a rope from his backpack, tied it to a fishhook made of bones, put a bit of bacon on it as bait, and pulled Ah Shu and the two to find him. I found a suitable place to fish, but the river is so rough, whether I can catch it is another matter.
A Xu and A Xu put their luggage on a nearby locust tree, cleared an open space under the tree, set up a small fire, took out a small pottery dish and started to make tea, the broth would be very greasy in this weather , but daisy tea can relieve greasy well and cool off the heat.
Ah Xu saw that the other people had gathered to the bank of the river happily, and said to A Xu: "It seems that they don't want to leave for a while, and they won't eat barbecue at noon today, let me cook something else. "In the past few days, in order to rush on the road, they just roasted or boiled the bacon and ate it directly, and then continued on the road. They didn't have time to cook a good meal at all.
A Xu smiled, "Let me help you."
"it is good."
Ah Xu tied a rope to the big bamboo tube that he carried with him, went to the river to fetch water and came back, he also found a flat stone to clean and took it back to make a chopping board.
Chen Qi and the two climbed onto the big rock, and the wind rushed towards them with water vapor, taking away the surrounding heat, A Ze held Chen Qi's hand to prevent him from getting too close to the shore.
This place can clearly see the surrounding scenery, the rushing river flows to the distance where the end cannot be seen clearly, Chen Qi can't imagine how big a rock mountain can be across such a river, and it can withstand the migration of animals on the entire plain without falling down. I'm afraid that scene is not inferior to this Duo Sahe.
Chen Qi felt a surge of pride in his chest when he looked at the river, and couldn't help but want to recite Cao Cao's Guan Canghai to express his mood at the moment.
"Is the Sanchen River the same as this Duosa River?"
Aze shook his head, "The water of the Sanchen River is calmer."
"Isn't the Sanchen River bigger than the Duosa River? How can such a wide river be calm?" Chen Qi asked slightly surprised.
"Well, next time I have a chance, I'll take you to see it."
"Okay." Chen Qi smiled and leaned closer to kiss the corner of A Ze's lips as a reward.
"Aze, give me the backpack, I want to draw the Dosa River."
Aze's ears were reddened by Chen Qi's sudden action, he secretly looked at other people, and was secretly relieved when he found that no one was paying attention, he couldn't get used to being intimate in front of people at any time.
After taking the backpack handed over by Aze, Chen Qi dug out the paper, quill pen, and a dozen small bamboo tubes containing fruit dyes of various colors, and Chen Qi handed a relatively larger bamboo tube to Aze, " Ze, help me fetch some water and come back."
Aze nodded, picked up the bamboo tube and jumped off the rock, and found a place relatively close to the water surface to fetch water.
Chen Qi sat down and slowly laid out the paper. The pictures he drew on the road before were all sketches with only black dyed fruit, but this time he wanted to draw the Duosa River in detail. After A Ze came back from fetching water, Chen Qi asked him to discuss with Ah Xu and the others if he could stay by the Duosa River for a day today. A Ze looked at Chen Qi who was completely immersed in the painting, and smiled helplessly. Went to look for Ah Xu under the locust tree.
The fish in the Dosa River are much more ferocious than those in the Chishui River. Ale and Ashu lay quietly in the grass and tightly held the rope tied with a hook. The end of the rope was tied with a stone, and they sank deep into the water with the hook. into the water.
"Is it really possible to catch fish like this?" Seeing the rope swaying non-stop by the river, Ah Shu asked a little suspiciously. He also ate food made of fish when he was in Qize City, although the cooking method was cumbersome. It's a bit heavy, but this kind of fish is much more delicious than those soft-bodied and boneless creatures in Luoshui Lake.
It's a pity that there are too many things to learn in Qize City, and he has to help with hunting and find various materials for making paper, pottery, bamboo sieves and other materials, Ah Shu has no time to go to the Chishui River to learn how to fish.
"Of course, I can catch quite a lot every time I use this method in the Chishui River. Don't talk, just wait patiently for a while." Ale replied softly.
The two got very close, and Ah Le's breath hit Ah Shu's ears, making his ears itchy, and he couldn't help but move his body back.
While Ah Shu was moving his body, he suddenly felt that the rope in his hand was being pulled by a strong force. Ah Shu reflexively clenched the rope, and then his whole body was pulled forward. , Turned over and stood up, firmly stepping one foot into the soil in front of him to reduce the force of the forward rush.
The other free hand stretched out, took the rope in Ah Shu's hand, quickly wrapped it around his arm a few times, fixed the rope, let Ah Shu go, held the rope with both hands, turned his back and gave a sudden force , a black-brown catfish almost as thick as an adult orc was pulled out of the water, over the heads of the two of them, and flung firmly into the nearby grass.
Ale's left hand quickly turned into a beast, and he strode forward, one hand fixed the head of the still struggling big fish, and the sharp claws of the other hand had already cut through the throat of the big fish, almost cutting off the whole fish head, The blood stained the tender green grass under his feet.
All of this happened in an instant, and when Ah Shu came back to his senses, Ah Le had already excitedly opened up the big fish that was dying and twitching reflexively, and the head and internal organs of the fish had been thrown into it. The rushing river is in the water.
Chen Qi, who was sitting on the rock, happened to see this scene, and was shocked by the figure of the big fish jumping into the air. It was the first time he saw Ale handle the prey so quickly, which was a bit long compared to his usual It doesn't look like a dazed one at all. Chen Qi took out another blank piece of paper, closed his eyes and recalled the scene he just saw. When he opened his eyes again, the quill in his hand was already stained with black fruit liquid, and he drew the big fish The moment he was pulled ashore by A Le.
"You are amazing." Ashu, who was also shocked, murmured praise.
Carrying the processed big fish on his shoulders, Ale touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "Let's go, we can eat fresh meat at noon." He has been eating grilled bacon or boiled meat for more than a week In the days of cured meat, Ah Le was about to vomit. After receiving fresh food, Ah Le could no longer imagine how he could bear to eat those barbecued meats with a bitter salt-stone taste every day before coming to Qi Ze City.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.
I just found a few wild potatoes and wild vegetables nearby, and Ah Xu, who was about to bring out bacon for lunch, saw Ah Le who was carrying a big fish back, and took the big fish over with a smile, "You boy, I didn't expect that such a turbulent river would allow you to catch fish."
Ah Le smiled grinningly, and pointed to Ah Shu who was following behind, "I didn't catch it, it was Ah Shu who caught it."
A Shu waved his hands again and again, "If it wasn't for you, I'd be dragged into the river by this fish."
Hearing this, A Xu knocked his stupid brother on the head mercilessly, "If you are pulled into the river by such a fish, you don't have to come back." Such a prey is not half the size of the usual prey, if it is Knowing that such a prey can't be dealt with, he has no face to say that he is from the Luoshui tribe.
Ah Shu looked at his brother pitifully, but didn't dare to answer.
"Okay, okay, the prey is back from hunting. We will rest here today and set off tomorrow. Since we have caught fresh prey, let's eat fish for a while." Ah Xu smoothed things over with a smile.
Ale was stunned, "Don't we have to hurry today?"
"Chen Qi needs to draw something here, we will leave after he finishes painting."
Ah Le's eyes lit up when he heard this, and before he could speak, Ah Xu glanced at him, "Don't try to make trouble, don't go to Chen Qi before sunset."
"I just want to see what he is painting, and I don't want to make trouble." A Le lowered his shoulders in frustration, but he also gave up the idea of running to the rocks. Since he can't go to watch, he will go around in the afternoon Let’s see if there are any plants that can be used. When he went out, Azhang handed them a small picture book with various available plants. The picture book carefully painted the appearance of various plants, and marked their usage on the side And how to deal with it, these are all sorted out by Chen Qi in the past few months. There are only two such albums, one of which is left in the tribe, and the other is brought out by Ah Xu. Found that some can be picked appropriately.
A Ze and A Xu went back to the rock after saying hello. There are so many people here that he is not needed to help cook and eat. Although there are no animals on the plain, it does not mean that there is no danger. A Ze is also worried about Chen Qi being alone. .
