When I woke up the next day, I found that Aze had already gone out. The bone soup boiled in the earthenware plate was less than half, and there was half a rabbit that had been roasted by the fire that was emitting a tempting aroma. The wart pork was marinated, and the rabbit was going to be left for breakfast this morning. It seemed that Aze had finished cooking before going out.
Chen Qi first went to see the marinated pork last night, picked up a piece and smelled it, there was no strange smell, although simple, this marinating method should work.
The handle of the Jianjiao knife made yesterday was almost dry, and I shook it in my hand, and it felt good in the grip. Chen Qi was satisfied with it, took out the cloth that Ali sent yesterday, and cut a small piece to make it. With a rag, I carefully cleaned the blade with figs. After cleaning, the blade was shiny, and it felt like it could emit a cold light at any time. Could it really contain metal? Of course, Chen Qi has no way to prove his theory. He only has this sword and corner knife, so he can't melt it away.
I smeared the roasted rabbit with half an apple juice, and then roasted it on the fire for a while, filled some bone soup with the charred milk husk, and ate it with a sword blade while eating it with disgust. Looking at the milk fruit shells used as bowls, I don’t know who made those ceramic plates and pots. It seems that I need to ask Aze to see if I can burn some ceramic bowls and use them.
After eating, wipe the sword corner knife clean, wrap the blade with the animal skin that was used as a scabbard yesterday, and stuff it into the pocket of the coat. Last night he had already changed back into his own clothes. Because the shirt was filtered with salt, even if Aze cleaned it carefully with figs, it still left gray marks, as long as it could still be worn, Chen Qi didn't mind.
Today Chen Qi planned to explore the place where the house would be built. He has already selected a piece of land next to Aze's house, where there is a tall fig tree, which can be planned into the future yard, so that there will be a place to enjoy the shade in the hot summer.
Although it is land, Chen Qi couldn't help but get a headache when he saw all kinds of withered and yellow weeds. It seems that this place must be cleared out before he wants to determine the layout of the house.
Walking around in a circle, no one had passed by this place, so naturally there was no way, but fortunately, the weeds were only knee high, and Chen Qi was able to see clearly what was going on in the grass. Chen Qi didn't dare to be careless, so he found a locust tree branch as a scout, took the sword horn knife in his hand, and walked along the approximate size of the house bit by bit.
Chen Qi doesn't know how big the house needs to be. Ideally, he hopes to build at least one hundred square meters, but he doesn't know if the technical support here can support his hope. The initial assumption is that the house has two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. The room is shared by Chen Qi and A Ze. Chen Qi has not told A Ze about this matter yet. Chen Qi has a wicked plan to invite the other party to move in after the house is completed. Ah Ze lived in that dark house for a long time, and Chen Qizhen was worried that there would be something wrong with the other party. Of course, the other party didn't know how many years he had lived here, and maybe only Chen Qi himself had problems after living there for a long time.
Walking to the back of the house, Chen Qi found an obvious gap not far away. When he got closer, it turned out to be a trench, about half a person high and one meter wide, extending to the distance. To Chen Qi's surprise, it was in the A few dandelions grew sparsely along the edge of the ditch.
Chen Qi squatted down to examine it carefully. It was still a dandelion with tender yellow petals. Chen Qi was very familiar with this common plant. He once did a project with various flowers as the theme, and learned that dandelion is actually a kind of flower. Edible wild vegetables. For Chen Qi, who has been eating meat as his main food for several days, he can already see the appearance of cooked dandelions.
I ran home and took a piece of animal skin back to the ditch, spread the animal skin on the ground, took out the sword horn knife and grabbed the dandelion stalks and cut them off, and gently put them on the animal skin. The dandelions grow very sparsely, and every time you pick one, you have to move it. Some are hidden in the withered grass, and you need to dig through the grass to find its existence.
After picking a large pile, Chen Qicai realized that he was already some distance away from the house. He stretched his waist, which was a little sore from squatting for a long time, and found that there was a tree full of small yellow flowers not far away... . .. banyan tree
Chen Qi got closer, but the banyan tree was blocked by a tall locust tree, so Chen Qi didn't see it. This banyan tree is not taller than the acacia tree which is more than ten meters high, and it looks only three to four meters by visual inspection. Chen Qi pulled the roots, the roots were very tough and soft.
Just now, he thought it was too inconvenient to pack the dandelions he picked in animal skins. It would be nice if there was a bag, but he didn't expect to find these roots right away. They should be able to be used as ropes, so he could sew an animal skin bag, right? Chen Qi thought to himself.
The trunk of the banyan tree is full of bumps and hollows. The reason why Chen Qi thinks it is a banyan tree is because the tree looks so similar to the leaves. The trunk was only two meters high. Chen Qi tried it and he should be able to climb up. He planned to cut off the roots for later use, hoping that the roots would not become brittle and break after drying.
After climbing up the tree and approaching Chen Qicai, he discovered that the small yellow flowers blooming on the tree turned out to be daylily flowers. After drying, they were actually daylilies sold in the supermarket. Also known as day lily, it can be cooked and eaten directly, but because it blooms on this strange tree, Chen Qi is not sure that this flower is different from what he knows, so he plans to pick some and take it back to ask. Ace decides again.
Chen Qi carefully climbed the branch to prevent himself from falling off the tree, and took a sword horn knife to cut off a small handful of root hairs. The root hairs were very long, almost hanging down to the ground on the branches more than two meters high. There are almost dozens of small handles. Chen Qi wasn't greedy either, he only cut two handfuls and planned to test its usage first when he went home.
Just as he was about to climb down the tree, he heard a loud noise in the grass not far away. After a while, a small impala broke into Chen Qi's sight, and the impala was closely chasing a just-adult impala. male cheetah.
Chen Qi tensed his body, clutching the branches of the banyan tree tightly, praying in his heart that the impala could change the direction to lure the cheetah away. However, the impala obviously couldn't hear Chen Qi's inner voice. It turned around suddenly, intending to throw off the cheetah, but ran straight towards the banyan tree where Chen Qi was hiding. How could the cheetah do what it wanted? Known as the king of speed, at a distance of 50 meters from the banyan tree, the impala fell to the ground with a leap, and before the impala could struggle, it bit the opponent's throat.
There was a layer of white sweat behind Chen Qi. He was too close to the cheetah. He hadn't even been to the zoo a few times, and this was the first time he had encountered a big cat so close.
The cheetah apparently also found Chen Qi on the tree, there were no overgrown branches and leaves on the trunk of the banyan tree to hide Chen Qi's figure. The cheetah was still biting the impala's neck tightly. Chen Qi knew that it was waiting for the impala to die. At this time, the cheetah was running at a high speed and had no strength to threaten Chen Qi, but Chen Qi didn't dare At this time, he climbed down the tree and escaped, and it took only a few minutes for the cheetah to catch up to him after he kicked and breathed evenly.
But he can't stay on the tree all the time. Although the cheetah is not as good at climbing trees as the leopard, the cheetah can still climb trees. Chen Qi tightened the sword horn in his hand, and began to regret that he shouldn't have run so far away from the house. He wondered when Aze would come back and if he found himself here.
The beautiful golden pupils of the cheetah have been following Chen Qi's movements. When he realized that it wasn't the orc that made him afraid, he narrowed his eyes slightly, let go of the suffocated impala gracefully, stood up, and looked at the surrounding situation. The grass is not high enough for it to hide in, but it is a good place under the banyan tree, at least it can block the sight of those damned vultures. The most important thing is that the banyan tree is the closest to its current position, and it has nothing Strength dragged the prey away.
The cheetah bent down and bit the impala's neck, dragged the impala under the banyan tree, bit off the soft fur of the impala's hind legs and ate it with big mouthfuls, took a bite and looked up at Chen Qi, then lowered its head to take another bite and looked up again Taking a look, it seems that Chen Qi is not in any danger, and there is no fear in his eyes, but a bit of mischievous banter.
The cheetah eats very fast, swallowing the torn meat almost without chewing. By the time the jackal couple who have been following it find that the cheetah has captured the prey, the cheetah is full. The jackal couple didn't approach, but they called at a distance and tried to attract other predators to drive away the cheetah, so that they could take the opportunity to eat a free meal.
The cheetah licked its paws gracefully, and only after hearing the cries of vultures above its head, which disgusted it, glanced at Chen Qi on the tree, and left quickly with long legs.
I don't know if it was Chen Qi's illusion, but the meaningful glance of Cheetah when he finally left always made him feel like he was despised by the other party. Chen Qi was full of black lines, he didn't want to admit that he was actually despised by a male cheetah that had just grown up. Could it be that all the animals here have grown up
Before the other predators arrived, the jackals ran to the impala and began to eat. Not long after, a lion's roar came from not far away. It was an old wandering lion, following the vulture's path. Prompted to find. Although this is the territory of the orcs, it hasn't eaten for a long time. The old lion, which has lost its ability to hunt, can only pick up food discarded by other animals, so it knows that there may be danger here, so it still plans to try its luck.
Chen Qi felt like crying, what kind of luck is this today, a cheetah just left and a lion came.
