When hiding from the rain and on the road before, the clothes were stained with a lot of mud. Even though the traces on the camouflage clothes were not obvious after wiping off, Aze went to the river to wash the clothes of the two of them. He couldn't wear it anymore, so Aze took it off, washed the mud off the cloth shoes, then rolled up his trousers, and returned to the place where the shelter was with his bare feet.
Chen Qi picked up a few relatively flat stones, piled them by the fire to dry for a while, and used them as stools to sit on.
The ginger soup was already steaming, seeing Aze coming over, Chen Qi beckoned him to sit next to him, and another fire was raised next to him, after the fire was raised, he took the wet clothes from Aze, and used them The wooden sticks are forked and put on the side of the fire to dry.
Most of the orcs couldn't bear the spicy taste of ginger soup. When the ginger soup was cooked, Chen Qi added a little sugar to it, and then filled a bowl for A Ze, "Are you okay after being rained for so long? Drink it quickly." Let’s have some ginger soup to warm you up.” It’s getting dark now, and the rain has completely stopped, probably because of the rain, the temperature is a bit cold.
Aze shook his head and looked at Chen Qi worriedly, "You have also been drenched in the rain for so long, is there any discomfort in your body?"
Chen Qi smiled, and squeezed his palm comfortingly, "I'm fine, now my body is much stronger than before, such a little rain won't make me fall ill." Tao, who had put ginger soup on his hand, The bowl was given to A Ze, Chen Qi got up and went to get other people's pottery bowls from the rain shed, and asked Ah Xu and the others to come over and drink ginger soup by the way.
Around the rain shelter, the orcs lit several fires, most of which were to dry the wet clothes, backpacks and food, as well as the wet branches that were going to be used to make the fire, because they were completely soaked by the rain. , The available branches are all wet, even if they are slightly dried, a puff of black smoke will come out when they are burned in the fire, and the only way to avoid being choked by the black smoke is to sit a little farther away.
After a day of running around, and then it rained for half a day, everyone was exhausted. After dinner, people on duty at night were arranged and everyone began to rest.
Chen Qi moved one of the fires away, because the place was completely dry due to overheating, he spread a thick layer of cattail leaf on it, and then spread a layer of cloth on it , patted it with satisfaction after finishing it, and said to A Ze next to him: "A Ze, you can sleep here."
Aze looked at the bed that was only suitable for one person, "What about you?"
Chen Qi smiled, "I'll be on guard for the first half of the night, and I have to deal with those things that got wet, so I won't sleep for now." I was worried that the wildfire would burn to the shelter, but when everyone left, they would hardly be afraid of the rain I brought all the things I took with me, including the dried mussels that were so hard to dry, and all kinds of dried flowers collected along the way, such as kapok. Even if they are packed in waterproof cloth bags, these things still cannot To avoid getting wet, Chen Qi could only roast them with fire, hoping that these things could still be used and not lose too much.
Seeing Chen Qi who spread the dried mussels on the cloth around the fire with a heartbroken expression, Aze stepped forward to take what was in the opponent's hand, but Chen Qi avoided it.
Chen Qi sighed helplessly, and said in a negotiating tone: "Aren't you on duty in the second half of the night? You sleep for a while, and I will go to bed when you are on duty, okay?"
Aze shook his head reluctantly, how could he let Chen Qi work alone and go to sleep by himself.
Seeing A Ze like this, Chen Qi glared at him, "You have been running behind my back for a whole day, and your body is not made of iron. If you suffer from poor rest, who will be responsible for the rest of the journey?" Carry me back?" Chen Qing pointed to A Le and A Shu who were curled up next to him and fell asleep deeply, "Don't say stupid things like you are not tired, look at them, they are already exhausted after a busy day , on the contrary, I have been taken care of by you all the time without any fatigue, so you can obediently go to bed in the first half of the night, and take turns with me in the second half of the night, okay?"
Aze pursed his lips, looked at the stubborn Chen Qi, and nodded lightly after a long time, "Then I will rotate with you again in the middle of the night."
Chen Qi raised his hand and rubbed the other party's hair that was a little fluffy after being wet by the rain and dried by the fire, and nodded with a smile.
Only then did Aze go back to Chen Qi's spread and lay down on the pu-leaf bed. Not long after he closed his eyes, his breathing gradually calmed down, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at the faint dark circles under the other party's eyes, it would be a lie to say that the journey was not hard these days.
In fact, as a son, Chen Qi didn't need him to watch the night at all, but he was already the person who did the least and the most relaxed work along the way, so he was embarrassed to do nothing all day and sleep soundly at night, so along the way, Even if Ah Xu didn't arrange for him to watch the night, he would take the initiative to watch in the middle of the night.
Pick up one side of the camouflage jacket that has been dried, gently cover Aze's body, then return to the fire and continue to take out the wet things and spread them one by one.
Ayan patrolled around and returned to the camp after finding nothing. In fact, there are also females guarding the acacia tree next door. The position is high there and you can see far away. As long as the females on the tree don’t notice There is generally no danger in any situation, not to mention that it is still the migration season, and there are no animals on the plains at all.
As soon as he got back to the camp, he saw Chen Qi drawing something with a pen and paper. Fish soup was boiling in a ceramic plate next to him. A few bright red kapok flowers were rolling in the boiling soup. She could smell a seductive aroma, and even though she had just had dinner not long ago, Ayan couldn't help but swallowed, and moved over involuntarily.
When I got closer, I found that what Chen Qi was painting was a circle of sleeping orcs around the campfire. The light was not good at night, and the color deviation was large. Chen Qi did not color the painting, but simply drew in black and white. After drawing the group, I drew a single person, and I also drew a close-up of Aze's sleeping face nearby.
A black shadow was projected onto the drawing paper, Chen Qi raised his head, and saw A Yan slightly bent over the drawing paper in his hand.
"Sorry, did I bother you?" Seeing Chen Qi who stopped moving, Ayan asked slightly apologetically.
Chen Qi shook his head, "No." He put the drawing paper aside and picked up a clean earthenware bowl, "You came just in time, I made fish soup, would you like some?"
Ah Yan was originally attracted by the fish soup, and she nodded quickly when she heard Chen Qi's question.
Chen Qi filled a bowl for him, then sprinkled some salt on it before passing it to the other party, and said: "It's a bit hot, be careful, if the taste is not enough, you can add a little more salt yourself."
This fish was caught by Aze by the river before the heavy rain, and Chen Qi only saved a small piece for making soup, and everyone treated the rest as dinner.
"It's delicious." Ayan took a sip from the edge of the pottery bowl. It didn't have any fishy smell, and there was a fragrance of kapok.
Chen Qi smiled, "If it tastes good, drink more. I'll boil another plate later, so they can drink it when they wake up." Chen Qi pointed to a pottery plate not far away and said.
"You are really a special male." A Yan sat next to Chen Qi, stirring the soup in the clay bowl with wooden chopsticks, "You know a lot."
Chen Qi froze for a moment, then turned to look at the other party.
Seeing the vigilance on Chen Qi's face, Ayan smiled, "I don't mean anything else, you don't have to be nervous." After speaking, she couldn't help but sighed, "It's better to say that I hope to be able to Meet you, or a few more males like you." In this way, they can live better.
Although it was only a short period of contact, Ah Yan learned a lot from Chen Qi, almost more than what he has been in contact with in the past 100 years. He never knew that fish can be eaten and flowers can be cooked It produces delicious water, the salt stone has no bitter taste, and it can also produce ice in summer...
In the past more than a hundred years, Ayan has only been in contact with hunting prey, guarding the tribe, and defending against hyena dragon attacks. If he can meet a person like Chen Qi when he is younger, if such a person is in his own life In the tribe, will your own tribe fall from a medium tribe to a small tribe with only about a hundred people in less than a hundred years
"I just happen to know something." Chen Qi picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire, and by the way, put away the dried mussels next door that had been almost dried.
When he came to this world, he had already received news about this world. He naturally knew that even though the orcs looked powerful on the outside, their lives were not easy. On the one hand, they had to deal with various external threats. He also had to deal with bad weather, so when Chen Qi decided to stay here, he planned to change their current situation. He hoped that the people he loved could live a better life. For this reason, he did not hesitate to share everything he knew teach them.
Fortunately, the orcs were smart enough to learn, and they could understand even if the teaching method was messy, otherwise Chen Qi was really afraid that he would lose patience if he couldn't teach it all the time.
"You already know a lot. I heard from A Xu that many things in your tribe were suggested by you. I'm really curious what kind of tribe can teach a male like you."
Ayan lowered his head slightly, Chen Qi couldn't see the other party's expression clearly, but Chen Qi could still hear the probing tone of the other party, he smiled, "There are many people in my tribe who are better than me, and our tribe also It’s very big, but it’s a pity that no one in my tribe will come here again except me, of course, no matter who it is, including me, I can’t go to my tribe anymore.”
"Why?" Ayan raised her head, with a little anxiety in her eyes.
Chen Qi blinked, "Have you seen anyone who has been to the place where the Beast God lives?"
A Yan froze for a moment, then looked at him in disbelief.
"I'm lying to you, don't take this matter seriously and tell other people." Looking at Ayan's expression, Chen Qi covered his lips with his fist and giggled, he patted Ayan who was stiff, "You go ask other people to drink fish soup, this soup will not taste good when it is cold."
A Yan nodded blankly, and left with a staggering footsteps. Even though Chen Qi said that he was lying to him, the shock of the news still made him unable to recover.
Chen Qi shrugged helplessly, these orcs were so simple, they didn't expect to believe them so easily, it seems that if they want to joke in the future, they have to weigh it carefully.
He sighed and looked up at the moon that had turned to the hollow. Maybe it was because of the rain. It was the fourth day of the month, but the moonlight was almost as bright as the first day of the month.
Probably because I haven’t thought about the things in my original world for a long time, when I suddenly chatted with someone, the familiar faces of relatives, colleagues and friends who were almost forgotten by me appeared one by one in my mind, and I felt like I was beaten in the depths of my heart. Like a punch, dull, a little dull pain.
Chen Qi stretched out his hand to caress the position of his heart, and murmured, "Maybe there is really a world where beast gods live." Even if he wanted to go back, he couldn't go back, just like the orcs blindly worship the so-called beasts. God, but never see the same.
Fortunately, Chen Qi has given up the idea of going back. He has already met the person who will be with him for the rest of his life here. Even if the door to go back is opened in front of him, I am afraid that he will reach out to cover it. After all, A Ze Like himself, in that world, Aze might not be able to survive.
Aze, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes slightly, turned over slightly, pulled up the camouflage jacket covering his body, and then slowly closed his eyes again.
