The galloping river is roaring like an indefatigable sound as it flows away into the distance. On a tall rock, a young man quietly dyes brilliant colors on a slightly rough paper to create a magnificent scene, while his Next to him, another tall and stern young man sat quietly not far away, looking at the person in front of him who was serious and persistent with his paintbrush, his eyes were full of tenderness.
The afterglow of the setting sun lazily pulled the figures of the two people far away, and the shadows crossed the rocks and melted into the rushing river below, and were instantly smashed to pieces by the rushing river water, and reunited after a while, repeating and repeating Reciprocating, just like this never-ending river.
"Chen Qi, Aze, the sun is going down soon, do you want to continue painting?" Ale was afraid of disturbing them, so he only asked from a distance under the rock.
Chen Qi put down the last stroke, picked up the paper and gently blew on the fruit dye that was still on it, looked at the sky, handed the finished picture to A Ze next to him, stood up and stretched Waist, it's been a long time since I painted continuously for such a long time, Chen Qi felt that this afternoon was very satisfying, "I won't paint anymore, let's pack up and go back."
A Le nodded, and went back to the locust tree first. They found a lot of plants in the afternoon. After Chen Qi came back, he needed to let him see if the plants were found correctly, and some of them were not drawn in the small picture album. For plants, Chen Qi also needs to see if they are useful, and if they are useful, he can pick some more.
"What's the matter?" Chen Qi turned around and saw A Ze staring intently at the painting in his hand.
Aze raised his head, the sunlight softened the contours of Chen Qi's face, and the few strands of hair on his temples looked golden because of the backlight. Aze passed the drawing paper in his hand forward, not quite Ask with certainty: "Is it me in the picture?"
Chen Qi lowered his head slightly, just in time to see the picture of the setting sun and a stern young man sitting quietly, as if he was guarding something precious. He smiled lightly, "Yes."
Aze paused, and took the painting back. The fruit dye on it was not completely dry. He didn't dare to reach out to touch it, for fear of ruining the whole picture. He stared at the picture for a while, and asked softly: "Next Can you draw you in this time?"
"..." Chen Qi was stunned for a moment. He didn't think too much when he was painting the last painting. He just saw Aze's figure sitting in the sunset suddenly touched, and he put the eyes in his eyes. The scene I saw was drawn exactly.
"Give me the drawing." Chen Qi sat down again, picked up the brush that was still soaked in the bamboo tube for washing brushes, stretched out his hand, and said to Aze.
Aze handed the painting to Chen Qi, and Chen Qi re-dipped a little paint, and with a few simple strokes beside the figure inside, he outlined another figure, that figure was a little shorter than the original one, just sitting under the gaze of the original one Looking at the direction, it seems that he should have existed there.
Chen Qi handed the repainted painting to Aze, "This painting is for you."
A Ze took over the painting again, with a look of surprise on his face. He looked at Chen Qi and then at the two people next to each other in the painting, and said softly, "Thank you."
Seeing that A Zeai was holding the painting with no hesitation, Chen Qi smiled, and simply tidied up the things. Those paintings that had been completely dried out were carefully packed in cloth bags, and the outside of the cloth bags were stained several times. A layer of glue and fruit juice, which has the function of waterproofing, was specially made by Chen Qi to hold the various paintings drawn during this trip.
The water for washing the pens had become terribly dirty, Chen Qi could only pour it into the weeds on one side, washed the bamboo tube and the pens, and stuffed them back into the animal skin backpack.
Chen Qi put the animal skin backpack on his back, "Ah Ze, let's go back."
"it is good."
The acacia tree where we temporarily settled was not far from the rock, and it took a few minutes to get there without Aze carrying Chen Qi on his back. When the painting in his hand was almost dry, Aze reluctantly handed over the painting to Chen Qixian for safekeeping.
"Chen Qi, what did you draw?" Seeing the two of them coming back, Ah Le couldn't wait to greet them.
Chen Qi smiled, "Do you want to see it?"
"Yeah." A Le nodded hurriedly, as if remembering something, he quickly added: "Not only I want to see it, they also want to see it." A Le pointed to the other three people who had come together.
Chen Qi looked at the other three in surprise, Ah Xu coughed lightly in embarrassment, and the two brothers Ah Xu looked at him expectantly. In the afternoon, A Le showed them the little plant album drawn by Chen Qi , although they didn't understand what Chen Qi drew a few days ago, but because of the colors in those small albums, they can immediately see what the paintings are.
There is a distance from the rock here, but the good eyesight of the female and the son still allowed them to vaguely see the various fruit dyes that Chen Qi put out, knowing that what Chen Qi painted this time must also be colorful things like an album, so the two My brother was so curious that he didn't know what Chen Qi would draw.
Chen Qi looked at them amusedly, and still handed the bag with the paintings to them. "See for yourself."
A Xu took it solemnly, opened the cloth bag carefully, and the other three heads rushed over, waiting expectantly for A Xu to take out the painting.
Chen Qi shook his head amusedly, pulled Aze to go to the fire first, dinner was already ready, Ah Xu made a pottery plate of fish soup, and there were several huge pu leaves on the ground beside the fire, There are huge fried meatloaf on it, and there are many fish fillets fried on stone slabs.
Chen Qi picked up a piece of clean cattail leaf and put it on the ground, then pulled Aze to sit on it, used a not too big cattail leaf as a bowl, and used temporary chopsticks folded from branches to make meat pies and fried fish slices I picked up a little and put it on the cattail leaf, then handed it to Aze.
A Ze has already dug out a pottery bowl from his animal skin backpack, filled a large bowl of fish soup and handed it to Chen Qi, "Drink some soup first and then eat." Chen Qi was immersed in painting all afternoon, even the water He didn't even take a few sips, Aze was afraid of disturbing him, so he resisted not to remind him, looking at the slightly dry lips of the other party, he said with distress.
Chen Qi took a sip from A Ze's hand. The fish soup added ginger and scallions to remove the fishy smell. Although the fishy smell was not completely removed, it was still very delicious. He smashed his mouth and pushed the bowl back to A Ze's lips. Side, "It's delicious, you drink a little too."
Aze also took a sip of the place Chen Qi drank just now, "Well, it's delicious."
"Chen Qi, you are so amazing, how did you draw it?" Ale ran over with an empty cloth bag, interrupting the slightly ambiguous atmosphere between the two, staring at it for a moment with a pair of star eyes. Chen Qi, if it weren't for Aze's quick eyesight and hand, grabbing the other party's collar and pulling it back a little, it is estimated that Ale could jump directly on Chen Qi's body. If conditions permit, I'm afraid he will lick a few more mouthfuls to express his love for Chen Qi worship.
Chen Qi only drew seven or eight paintings this afternoon, and they didn't have a lot of text for annotations like before. A Le finished them in a short while.
"Is this painting about you and Aze?" After handing over the painting he had seen to A Xu, A Xu asked while holding up the last picture of the sunset.
Aze's ears turned red, and he quickly snatched the painting back and put it behind him. A Xu rolled his eyes, everyone here has already seen it, so it might be too late to put it away now.
Chen Qi looked at A Ze who was obviously shy but calm, and nodded to A Xu to answer his question.
"You painted the Duosa River really well." Ah Xu tidied up the painting, took the cloth bag in A Le's hand and repacked it before handing it back to Chen Qi.
"Chen Qi, can you teach me to draw this kind of painting too?" Ah Shu asked expectantly.
"I, I, I, I want to learn too." A Le quickly raised his hand, for fear that Chen Qi would only agree to teach A Shu and not him.
Chen Qi handed the cloth bag to Aze, and smiled at the others: "You can draw anytime you want to learn, but it's not so easy to draw well. Don't look at me as if drawing is very simple, but I can draw It's been ten years."
"Ten years?" A Le looked at Chen Qi in disbelief, he had never asked Chen Qi's age, seeing that the other party looked very young, he thought that Chen Qi had just grown up not long ago. Thinking that it would take so long to draw as well as Chen Qi, Ah Le couldn't help but retreat in his heart.
Ah Shu clenched his fists, "It's okay, you teach me first, and I can learn slowly." The picture he saw just now kept replaying in Ah Shu's mind, and Ah Shu also hoped that he could capture what he saw in front of him like Chen Qi did. Draw what you see and freeze it forever.
Seeing Ah Shu's firm attitude, Ah Le gritted his teeth, "I can also learn first."
"Do you two want to learn too?" Chen Qi asked Ah Xu and Ah Xu who were standing aside.
The two looked at each other. Although they were not as interested in painting as Ah Shu, there was no harm in learning, so they both nodded to express that they also wanted to learn.
Chen Qi smiled, took out a few unused blank papers from his backpack and handed them to several people, and then gave them a black dyed fruit and a few quills, "Take these things first and draw the paper you want Draw it down first, and I’ll tell you about it when it’s finished.” Chen Qi brought enough paper when he went out this time, and he wasn’t afraid of wasting it at all. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the people eager to try, he could only send them to play first. Both he and Aze haven't had dinner yet, and it's more important to fill their stomachs now.
After receiving the order, several people happily divided the dyed fruit into four parts, and each took their own materials to find what they wanted to paint and started to paint.
Chen Qi waved to A Ze who was standing beside him, "A Ze, come and eat quickly."
After Aze put the cloth bag on the locust tree, he turned over and got off the tree and sat beside Chen Qi, and the two began to enjoy their own dinner happily.
The orcs seemed to be unable to understand the pictures that were only black and white. Looking at the four paintings that had no idea what they were drawing, Chen Qi distributed some fruit dyes of other colors to a few of them, and drew them this time. Although it is still not in shape, at least it can be seen which place they are painting.
Chen Qi briefly explained some painting techniques and knowledge to them, and then demonstrated it to them again. After sunset, a few people painted a blazing fire by the light of the fire. As a result, Aze, who joined in later, instead It is the best and the most spiritual.
Holding the fire pile painted by A Ze, Chen Qi asked a little proudly but also depressed: "A Ze, what else can you not learn?" His daughter-in-law knows everything and he will be under a lot of pressure.
Aze was very happy to hear Chen Qi's question. Chen Qihui has too many things, and he has to work harder to be worthy of the other party. "As long as you teach me, I can learn anything." Aze looked at Chen steadfastly. Kai replied as if promising.
Chen Qi was stunned, and stretched out his hand to rub the soft hair of the other party warmly in his heart, and couldn't help but move to the corner of A Ze's lips to take another bite, causing A Ze's face to heat up and pretending to be calm.
After this painting study, everyone who had been busy on the road unknowingly slowed down.
Chen Qi didn't draw color pictures every time, but still simply sketched out the surrounding situation and made records during his breaks. These were the materials prepared for future map drawing. Occasionally, after other people drew new paintings, he would comment on them one by one at night, and sometimes he would give them a demonstration, or directly modify their original drawings. This feeling gave Chen Qi a kind of Back to the sense of sight of watching the teacher comment on the paintings in the studio in high school.
Although the itinerary has slowed down a lot, after leaving the Duosa River, there is no other special scenery worth Chen Qi's special stop, but along the way, he found many plants that he hadn't seen near Qi Ze City. The few people who had a lot of luggage added two large backpacks full of luggage, so the strength of the females was strong enough, and adding such a little weight would not affect their speed.
No matter if you walk fast or slowly, the destination will be getting closer and closer to several people. After about a month, Chen Qi finally saw the outline of the rocky mountain faintly visible in the distance. The Luoshui tribe is located between a large rocky mountain. Among them, because there are enough rocks and mountains, they are the most unrecognizable landmarks on this endless plain.
"Our tribe is behind that rocky mountain." A Xu pointed to the distant mountain shadow and said to the slightly tired people who had been driving for almost a month.
Hearing A Xu's words, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Luoshui tribe is really too far away from Qi Ze City, but at least they are finally arriving.
