Ah Chu pulled up the remaining jars, and within one night, there was an octopus in each jar, which shows that there are really a lot of octopuses in this water area.
It's a pity that there are not many big octopus like yesterday's. Perhaps because of the jar, the size of the octopus caught is about the same as what Chen Qi recognized.
After clearing all the octopuses out of the jar, Ah Chu put the jar back into the water as before, planning to come back in the evening to see if he could still catch it.
In order to thank Chen Qi for providing this simple method of catching octopus, Ah Chu called five or six people from his tribe to help Chen Qi refine salt stones and process dried mussels.
Ah Chu dipped a bit of salt that had been refined like sand and licked it with his tongue, and found that the bitterness was no longer there, and the taste was more than a little bit better than before. "This male has only been here for two days. He not only told them how to eat a new food, but also taught them a simple way to catch octopus. If the other party can live in his tribe for a long time, Ah Chu feels that the tribe will not be too long. It will change a lot.
It's a pity that he is not from his own tribe. Thinking of this, Ah Chu couldn't help but glared at A Xu, if only his eldest son could abduct such a good male son.
Hearing Ah Chu's praise, Chen Qi smiled and didn't answer.
Refining salt stones is a very time-consuming job. After all, Chen Qi can't stay here for too long. In order to speed up, Ah Chu asked the people in the tribe to take the salt stones home and refine them before sending them over.
Seeing Achu and the others busy with their own affairs, Chen Qi felt a little sad, "Now the mussels by the rocky beach are growing the most plump, you can also pick some sun-dried mussels and store them for the winter food, or to exchange resources with other tribes during tribal gatherings." Chen Qi suggested.
Speaking of tribal gatherings, Achu thought for a while, turned around and whispered something to Axu, Axu nodded, and then Achu straightened his body, glanced at the few people in Qize City, and finally turned his gaze to Axu. It fell on Ah Xu, and the leader of the few people from Qi Ze City this time is obviously this middle-aged female named Ah Xu. If Ah Chu has any matters related to the tribe, he can only talk to Ah Xu, although he has a deep heart. In fact, I wanted to talk to Chen Qi more, but it was obvious from Chen Qi's appearance that he was not in charge.
"About the tribal gathering during the first snowfall, we want to go to Qi Ze City this year, do you mind?" Of course, he still needs to discuss the specifics with other members of the tribe in the end.
Ah Xu was stunned, and he put aside the mussel shells that had been peeled off, "Aren't you going to the lion and wolf tribe?" The lion and wolf tribe is the largest tribe in the vicinity, and the surrounding small tribes gather every year There is an exchange of resources and information. If the Luoshui tribe does not go to the lion wolf tribe's gathering this year, it will not only lose the resources that can be exchanged, but also what happened on the plain this year. This is related to the orcs in the next winter How to defend against hyena dragon attacks is a big deal.
Achu smiled indifferently, how can the resources that other tribes can exchange be compared to the things in Qize City, just looking at the surprises that Qize City brought to their own tribe in the past two days is enough for them to go to the lion wolf tribe to exchange It has been harvested several times. As for the hyena dragon, which tribe lives closer to the forest than Qi Ze City
As if he was afraid that Ah Xu would not agree, Ah Chu continued: "There are still many young males in our tribe, we can go to Qi Ze City to communicate with each other then."
Chen Qi understood that what the other party meant was to have a blind date meeting between tribes.
The Luoshui tribe is a rare place where there are more males than females. Perhaps it is because Luoshui Lake provides food sources for a long time, and there are rocky mountains as a natural defense barrier. The survival rate of males here is very high, except for those born after birth. Only those who are born weak will die young after a few winters, and generally live to adulthood.
There are not many people in the Luoshui tribe, and the tribesmen who have been multiplied for a long time are more or less related to each other. For this reason, the orcs of the Luoshui tribe now want to find a partner, whether it is a female or a male. If you can go to other tribes to find them, some females who are reluctant to leave the tribe can only stay single all the time.
It is also for this reason that A Xu has not found a suitable partner. Otherwise, with his ability, any tribe can become a hunting expert in it.
With the adult Xiong Zi and Chen Qi in Qi Ze City, there is only Carlo. He has no choice but to be moved by Ah Chu's proposal. Ah Le who is next to him has already stared at Ah Xu with bright eyes, afraid that he will not agree. Can't wait to nod directly on his behalf.
Regarding the communication between the tribe and the tribe, Ah Xu didn't dare to nod immediately. He looked at Chen Qi questioningly. He methodically opened the shells of the cooked mussels to take out the meat, and said plainly: "Before coming to the Luoshui tribe, the patriarch left the decision to you." In other words, we all listen to you and have no opinion.
The corners of Ah Xu's brows twitched, and he gave A Ze a sneaky look.
A Xu added: "Even if people from your tribe form partners with male sons from our tribe, if you don't want to, we won't force you to come to the Luoshui tribe."
Ah Xu looked at him in surprise, lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Well, we didn't plan to go to the lion and wolf tribe for this year's rally. If you can come, we will naturally welcome you."
Ah Chu smiled and patted Ah Xu on the shoulder, got up and went straight out to tell other people the news, and discuss about this year's rally by the way.
Several people in Qi Ze City were taken aback for a while by seeing this rush of action. It's only halfway through the summer now, don't be so anxious, right
Although Chen Qi wanted to make dried mussels and refined salt stones, Chen Qi did not teach the people of the Luoshui tribe how to process mussels and refined salt stones. Instead, he handed them over to Ah Xu and Ah Le. A Xu and A Shu also learned a lot in Qi Ze City before, and learned a lot of things with Chen Qi along the way, and it is not a matter of overnight to teach all these things to the people in the tribe.
And Ah Le, who was the best at swimming before, was also dragged by Ah Shu to Luoshui Lake to continue learning to swim. In less than a day, he almost got along with the young females of the Luoshui tribe. Because of Ale's fish-like swimming posture in the water, the females of the Luoshui tribe were envious and received a lot of admiring gazes.
A Chu's partner, Luther, and the two male sons were asked to help with the drying of the mussels, and Chen Qi, who was free, planned to go for a walk with A Ze.
After checking his drawing tools, Chen Qi and A Ze left A Xu's cave.
The two did not go up the rocky mountain, but walked along the Luoshui Lake in the opposite direction to the previous salt picking. Because there was no destination, Chen Qi was not in a hurry, and took Aze's hand in the lake. Walking slowly while walking, there is a feeling of being on vacation by the sea.
The brackish wind blew over the water to dissipate the surrounding heat. Aze was wearing a dark green camouflage jacket, a straw hat on his head, and his trouser legs were slightly rolled up. Behind him was the golden sand. A neat row of footprints.
Chen Qi slightly turned his head to look at the nondescript straw hat, stretched out his hand and pinched the other person's tanned skin, "Next time I should make you a nicer hat."
"That's a nice hat."
"Where does it look good? It's not very useful. Look at you, your face is tanned." Chen Qi pinched A Ze's face again, um, it feels really good.
Aze just smiled, as long as Chen Qi did it, he thought it looked good.
Aze's skin is actually not dark, it should be a very healthy and beautiful wheat color, but Chen Qi has tanned a lot this summer, because he has been wearing long sleeves for a long time, he was not caught when he took off his clothes. The part of the skin that is covered is very obvious. Fortunately, he is not a girl, so he doesn't need to pay too much attention to these things, but every time he sees it, he still feels a little depressed. Why are the skin tones of the orcs so even? He also wanted such a skill.
Even though Luoshui Lake is not a sea, perhaps because the water is salty, the creatures that grow here are not much different from those in the sea. Chen Qineng saw all kinds of shellfish and corals washed up by the water on the beach. Some crabs seemed to be Because of their hard shells, no orcs have caught them as food, so they ran rampant on the beach without any scruples. Unfortunately, today they met Chen Qi who knew how to turn them into delicious food.
Ever since Chen Qi was accidentally pinched when he wanted to catch a crab, and his skin was almost broken, A Ze didn't dare to let him do it. The giant crab grabbed it, and as soon as it exerted force with its fingers, the two giant pincers that could hurt people were easily broken off.
"The crab here is really big." Chen Qi swallowed his saliva looking at the giant crab that was almost as big as his entire face, how much meat would there be in this thing.
The two found some twigs nearby to light the fire. Aze would put his backpack on his back before going out. There was a pottery bowl in it. He added some water to the pottery bowl and put the whole crab in it to cook. Fill a pottery bowl, and when the crab turns a beautiful red color, Chen Qi can't wait to peel the shell and eat it.
Although it wasn't long after lunch, the two of them still ate two giant crabs, most of which fell into A Ze's stomach. Chen Qi still felt very satisfied. Don't come out after eating." Chen Qi helped put out the fire, and said with a little regret.
"If you like it, we'll grab some more when we come back later." Aze lovingly took out a bamboo tube filled with water and gave it to Chen Qijing.
"This can be."
For the orcs who only know how to hunt large prey, the beach may be just a dispensable place with a lot of sand, but for Chen Qi, it is simply a treasure. Chen Qi not only found crabs but also a lot of conch, When I was about to leave the range of the beach, I also encountered a huge sea turtle. The sea turtle was more than one meter high, and its huge four-legged legs were as thick as Chen Qi's thigh.
Chen Qi tugged at A Ze's sleeve in surprise, "A Ze, is that a sea turtle?"
Aze had never seen a sea turtle, but he had seen a tortoise, and felt that the two things were not different in appearance, so he nodded uncertainly.
Afraid of frightening the turtle, Chen Qi excitedly dragged Aze to hide in the nearby rocks, staring at the turtle with shining eyes. There was a huge hole dug behind the turtle. At this moment, he was lying on the beach with his head and neck stretched out. , Mouth slightly opened, eyes fixedly looking at the water surface not far away, a line of tears slipped from the corner of the eyes.
"I didn't expect the sea turtle to shed tears when laying eggs." Chen Qi commented with relish.
"Is it because of the pain?" Aze asked softly after a moment of silence.
Chen Qi thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it's because the lacrimal glands are too developed." He didn't have much research on this aspect.
Aze didn't speak any more, but unconsciously caressed the less obvious scar on his right wrist with his fingers.
Sea turtles lay eggs very slowly. When Chen Qi and the two arrived, they had just laid their first egg. The two watched for a while, and Chen Qi made a mark nearby, then pulled Aze and quietly walked away from behind. I plan to come back after visiting the nearby area.
I don't know if turtle eggs can be eaten, but he hasn't eaten eggs for a long time. Chen Qi licked the corner of his lips and thought.
