Although the shadow of the rocky mountain can already be seen, this distance will take more than half a day even at the speed of the females. After discussing with several people, Ah Xu decided to rest on the spot for a while before starting.
There are not many acacia trees here, but there are a few unusually thick and tall kapok trees. The flowers on the trees have not yet bloomed, and the branches are crowded with flowers. If it takes a few days, the whole tree will be destroyed. The flowers are decorated in bright red.
A Ze carried Chen Qi on the trunk of the tree before letting him down. Now every time he takes a break, Chen Qi has to sit on a high place and take out paper to paint. There are only a few people in the group who don't need to carry heavy loads or walk. It's as easy as going on an outing.
After Aze settled Chen Qi, he went to help prepare the food. Among these people, Aze has the best cooking skills. Now as long as Aze is free, almost every meal is handed over to Aze. Automatically and consciously help out.
Chen Qi didn't turn out the pen and paper as usual, but picked up a half-opened flower bone nearby and put it under his nose to smell it, then pulled the head of the flower bone a little, and saw the beautiful woman wrapped inside. Red Petals nodded in satisfaction, and silently wrote down this place. There are about three tall kapok trees of this kind nearby, and they plan to pick these kapok trees and bring them back when they return to Qi Ze City.
A Xu spread a few pieces of clean cloth on the ground, and took out the plants picked all the way in his backpack to dry. Now that the sun is so strong, even just drying for more than an hour can evaporate a lot of water inside.
A Le and A Shu went around the neighborhood, and after a while, they came back with a small bunch of white flowers in their arms, and climbed to the branch where Chen Qi was. This branch was so big that an adult man lay down and turned over It may not be able to fall, which shows how strong this kapok tree is.
"Chen Qi, can this kind of flower be used?" A Le put the little white flower in his arms in front of Chen Qi. He and A Shu liked to wander around the neighborhood when they were resting, looking for those flowers that looked pleasing to the eye in the grass. No matter whether he recognizes the plants or not, he will pick some of them first. If Chen Qi says they can be eaten or used, he will pick up all the plants he sees with his animal skin backpack, feeling like he is on a treasure hunt.
This has almost become the most fun game for the two boys who have just grown up to pass the boring time along the way.
"Cotton?" Chen Qi took over the small white flower. The flower was in the shape of a ball, split three times, only half the size of a fist, white and fluffy, and felt good to the touch. Chen Qi asked pleasantly: "Where did you find these flowers?"
Ale pointed to a clump of white grass not far away. At this time, the white grass hadn't bloomed yet, and the half-person tall grass stems were blown by the wind, and faint traces of white could be seen hidden in the grass. "In that patch of grass, there aren't many of them."
Chen Qi quickly asked A Ze to carry himself down the tree, found an empty cloth bag, and greeted A Le and A Shu, "Take me to have a look, and collect all the small white flowers nearby."
Ah Le and Ah Shu walked in front of Chen Qi, one left and one right, and helped the other party push away the grass. Several trees about one meter high covered with white cotton appeared in front of Chen Qi. People pick off the fully mature cotton and put it into a cloth bag.
After picking this piece of grass, the three of them walked around again, and when Aze came over to call a few people to eat, the cloth bag was already full of cotton.
"Chen Qi, what's the use of picking so many of these small white flowers?" A Xu poured a cup of scented tea for the others. They picked a lot of different flowers along the way, and they cooked them differently every day. Nothing is the same. Now the two brothers ask others to teach them a word every day, but after all, they have to travel and learn slowly. Until now, they have not been able to write a complete sentence. Otherwise, Chen Qi thinks that A Xu can record the different words every day. How does the tea come out taste, maybe we can sort out a set of scented tea strategies.
Chen Qi tied up the mouth of the cloth bag. He made quite a few of this kind of cloth bag. It was light and easy to carry. He planned to collect various light items along the way.
"This kind of cotton can be used to make clothes. After I go to your tribe, I will teach you how to use it. Since there are cotton trees nearby, next time you can pick some cotton and exchange things with me."
A Xu nodded, and silently wrote down the matter, planning to find some time to come out to help Chen Qi pick some cotton after going back. Now he and A Shu are wearing the special camouflage clothes of Qi Ze City, according to what they took before. There are simply not enough things to exchange and learn so many skills.
A few people simply finished their lunch, packed up and continued on their way. In order to get back to the tribe before it got dark, the few people stopped talking, and the speed was naturally much faster than usual.
The rocky mountains are not high, but they are wide enough. As soon as the group reached the foot of the mountain, a middle-aged woman in a fur skirt jumped down from a tall fig tree that grew very densely, blocking a group of people. in front of.
The middle-aged man was obviously stunned when he saw A Xu, "You guys are back, where did you go for so long?"
"Uncle A Ming." Seeing the middle-aged man rushing up to meet him, Ah Shu put on a fawning smile on his face, "We went to Qi Ze City, which is the original Yanshan tribe, and we were exhausted from the long journey. Are father and father at home?"
Amin saw that the other party's little face was full of exhaustion that could not be concealed, so he couldn't continue to blame him, "The patriarch took people to hunt in the lake. You should be able to see him by the lake now."
"Then I'll take the guests into the tribe first."
A Ming waved his hand and ignored the few people, and climbed back to the fig tree. The dense leaves of the fig covered the opponent's figure. If he didn't know it, he couldn't see that there was another person hiding on it.
Ah Shu walked to the front of the team, walked around the foot of this mountain and entered a mountain depression. The mountain depression was covered with fine stones, and there was no other shelter except for a few tenacious weeds.
Axu and Ashu’s home is in a cave halfway up another rocky mountain. There is no shelter at the entrance of the cave. You can see the situation inside clearly from the outside. Such caves are scattered throughout the rocky mountains around the depression. The people of Luoshui tribe live in these caves.
"This is where my brother and I live. Our father and father live in the cave next to it." Ashu pointed to another cave not far from here, which is a few meters lower. You can see the entrance of the cave from this side A half-open animal skin curtain hung on the side.
There are two stone slab beds in the cave, and there are a few pottery pots scattered in the corner, and the rest are some miscellaneous things such as animal skins and salt stones. The number is not many, and the cave seems very empty.
A Shu disturbed her head a little embarrassedly. After seeing the houses in Qi Ze City, the cave she had was so crude that she couldn't handle it. A Shu threw the animal skins on the slate bed into the corner, "You guys will Sit casually after putting away your luggage, I'll go see if Father is at home."
"I've already brought Father here." As soon as Ah Shu finished speaking, A Xu walked in with a refined-looking middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man smiled gently at everyone after entering the door, "My name is Luther, and I am the partner of the patriarch Ah Chu. My two sons have caused you trouble along the way."
Although Luthor was also wearing animal fur clothes and skirts, perhaps because of his appearance, people were inexplicably attracted to them at first sight.
Ah Xu went up to greet him, exchanged a few words with the other party, briefly introduced them, and A Xu also added beside him, explaining a little bit about what he saw and heard in Qi Ze City.
Luther was very surprised to hear that. He knew that last year when the tribe went to the assembly, they learned a magical way of making fire. He didn't expect this method to be taught by the seemingly inconspicuous male in front of him.
"Just now I wondered why you are wearing such strange clothes. Is it really not hot?" After summer, the temperature is getting hotter and hotter. Luther has been unbearably hot in the daytime these days, hiding in the shade every day He didn't want to go out in the cave at all, and the animal fur clothes on his body always became sticky and greasy due to sweat, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Of course, it's much cooler than animal fur clothes. I'll make a set for you tonight, Father. I learned how to make clothes in Qi Ze City." A Shu hugged Luther's arm and said with a proud face.
Luther's eyes lit up, he smiled and squeezed Ah Shu's childish face, "Okay."
After speaking, he turned to look at Chen Qi and the others, "You can live here first, A Xu and A Shu will move back to live with me for a few days. You brought so much luggage here to exchange salt stones Is it? There aren’t many salt rocks stored in the tribe right now, and it’s getting late today, so if you’re not in a hurry, I can ask Axu to take you directly to the salt mountain to pick them tomorrow.”
"Did Daddy go hunting in the lake?"
Luther nodded, "Evening is when the water recedes, and it is safer to go hunting at this time."
A Xu nodded, and suggested to several orcs in Qi Ze City: "Would you like to go and see our hunting?"
"What's so interesting about hunting?" Ale curled his lips. They do hunting almost every day. He has no interest in hunting by himself or watching others hunt. He is already tired after walking for almost a month. Now he just wants to have a good time. Take a shower and lie down on the bed.
"Our hunting methods are far from yours. We hunt in the lake." Ah Shu has become familiar with them during this period of time. Seeing Ah Le's face full of reluctance, he directly took his hand and wanted to go out the door.
"Don't you guys know how to swim?" Chen Qi asked A Xu suspiciously. When he was in Qi Ze City, he also took his two brothers to the Chishui River to learn how to swim, and he almost drowned A Shu.
"I can't swim, but it doesn't affect hunting." A Xu smiled mysteriously, but didn't explain to a few people, "You just go and see."
Chen Qi looked at A Ze and then at A Xu, and asked the two of them if they wanted to go and have a look.
Ah Xu's curiosity was aroused by what A Xu said. Although he knew that the source of food for the orcs in the Luoshui tribe was in Luoshui Lake, he couldn't imagine how the orcs who couldn't swim could hunt the prey in the water. One must know that they were able to catch fish in the Chishui River because of Chen Qi's teaching.
Ah Xu pondered for a while, "Then let's go and have a look."
There seemed to be a smile in A Xu's beautiful blue eyes, and after greeting Luther, he led the group towards Luoshui Lake.
