"You guys are here." Seeing Chen Qi and the two walk in, Ye Huo hurriedly gave up the position near the fire to the other party, and then showed the other party the bone that was being polished. This is the first time he has done this kind of work today. , Not yet confident in my skills, "Can you see an arrow like this?"
Chen Qi took it over and took a look. In addition to cutting out the shape of Yehuo's bone arrowhead, he also used a whetstone to smooth the end of the arrowhead. It felt a little greasy to the touch with his fingers. It can be seen that the other party put a lot of thought into making this thing.
"Not bad." Chen Qi praised, then took out a piece of paper from his small backpack, on which he drew several shapes of arrows, he handed the note to Ye Huo, and then beckoned other orcs to come and see Look, "You guys try arranging the arrows a little bit, like this."
Chen Qi pointed to one of the shapes with his finger. The arrows I made before are all uniform and smooth. This kind of arrow can increase the speed and accuracy when using a wooden bow, but if it is replaced with a much larger siege weapon, it will appear weak. Chen Qi There are mainly two shapes of arrows on the paper that is taken out.
One is a smooth Mitsubishi shape, while the other has sawtooth added to it. This kind of arrow can better increase the damage area, thereby destroying the wound, and with the power of the siege crossbow, the lethality will be stronger than the previous arrows.
After listening to Chen Qi's explanation, the orcs changed all the half-made arrows into this shape, while Chen Qi and A Ze went to the other side to discuss with other orcs how to make the catapult.
A busy day is coming to an end soon. After nightfall, some orcs can take home work to continue making. Even though the street lamps outside the house are no longer full of rows like in summer, but the light-transmitting windows, You can still see that the house is brightly illuminated by the fire, and occasionally someone's talking and laughing can be heard.
Snowflakes began to fall again with the cold wind. Recently, the weather has been snowing almost every few days. Thanks to it, the snow cleared in the tribe has thickened the ice city wall by several meters. The height of the day can be equal to the height of the original ice city wall.
Chen Qi helped Aze put on the cape of the animal skin cloak, and then stuffed his frozen hands into the other's warm palm. As soon as Aze went out, he took back the hair on his hand. Even if it was not covered by hair, his palm was still It was warm, but Chen Qi's limbs were cold in winter, and he couldn't fall asleep without hugging Aze at night.
"It's only been a day, and the snow has accumulated so thick again." Stepping on the knee-high snow, Chen Qi stabilized his body, and said with emotion as he walked.
"Someone will clean it up tomorrow morning." Aze pulled Chen Qi and walked towards the house step by step.
"I don't know how the lion wolf tribe is doing now?"
"There are a lot of them, so nothing will happen." Aze squeezed Chen Qi's palm reassuringly.
Chen Qi smiled, and didn't continue talking about this topic.
When the two pushed open the courtyard door, Ah Jing was making a snowman with a few little orcs in the yard. The oil lamps around the yard were lit, and the little wolf cub was watching them play in a corner wearing a big animal skin coat.
Seeing Chen Qi coming in, everyone stopped what they were doing. Chen Qi smiled, pinched Ah Jing's face that was already flushed from the cold, "Why are you still playing outside after dark?"
"We'll finish it right away." Ah Jing pointed to a row of snowmen under the fig tree, his eyes reflected the light not far away, which was extremely bright.
Chen Qi looked in the direction of the snowman, the shape of the snowman had been piled up, and all that was left was to prepare the facial features and limbs.
And playing with Ah Jing are a few little orc females, about the same age as Ah Jing, wearing only a thin animal skin coat, except for the facial features, all other places have turned into hair, if not The opponent was still standing upright, just like a group of small beasts.
Since the Yanshan tribe was destroyed, Ah Jing hadn't played with his peers for a long time. These little orcs were brought over by A Xu in the afternoon. He originally wanted Ah Jing to take them to learn new knowledge, but a few The little orcs probably just arrived in an unfamiliar environment, and everyone was rather restrained. After thinking about it, Ah Jing decided to take them to play first, which is why he was still building a snowman at night.
Looking at the excited little faces, Chen Qi also became interested, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Let me pile up with you."
Ah Jing smiled, and greeted a few little orcs to go back to the house with him to get the materials, and then a group of people hummed and chirped to get busy under the dim light in the yard.
"Hey, why did you use sweet potatoes to make your mouth? This sweet potato is too big, oh, look, the mouth is broken."
"Can this leaf be used to make clothes?"
"You might need to get a piece of string and tie it to the snowman."
"The leaves are ready for hats."
"Your hand is inserted crookedly, it should be a little further back."
...
There was so much noise in the yard that even the few patients who were convalescing at Chen Qi’s house couldn’t help opening the door curtain and looking out. When A Xu came to pick up those little orcs, all he saw was a big one and a few small ones pointing at the side. Seriously busy at the same time.
"...What are they doing?" A Xu asked when he saw A Ze coming over with a small bundle of branches.
Aze handed the strange-shaped branches to the little orcs, then walked to Axu and replied with a smile, "I'm making a snowman for fun."
"snowman?"
Aze tapped the snowmen that had gradually formed with his chin, "It's those things."
A Xu leaned over curiously. He had never seen a snowman before, and now he was a little surprised to see the snowmen passing by under the fig tree.
After all, it was the first time for the little orcs to pile up, and the pile was actually not very good-looking. Even after A Jing and Chen Qi helped to adjust it, it was still a bit crooked, but for the orcs who had never seen these things, it could already be said to be Very delicate.
Seeing that it was A Xu, a little orc ran over and took A Xu's hand, "A Xu, I made that one."
A Xu rubbed the snow off the opponent's head, and praised: "It's amazing, I didn't expect your snowman to be so beautiful."
Hearing this, the little orc puffed out his chest, and parted his lips into a big smile. During this period of running around, even though the little orcs have been carefully protected by the adult females, they still inevitably lost weight for several times, especially a few little orcs who had a high fever and couldn't eat after fainting. It was deeply sunken in, and thanks to the fact that they were females, they had a strong recovery ability, and they would be fine after a night of sleep after the fever subsided. Otherwise, they would not have dared to let them stay outside for so long.
When the other little orcs saw A Xu approaching, they also surrounded them, holding each other's hand to let him see the results of their own creations. A Xu patiently looked at them one by one, nodding and praising each one.
Chen Qi, who saw this situation next to him, couldn't help but smile. A Xu was born tall and his facial features were harder than ordinary females. It would be nice not to scare the child into tears, Chen Qi would never have thought that he would let the little orcs pull him around, "They like you very much."
Not long after the snowman was finished, the wind blew up, and the temperature suddenly dropped a little. It seemed that there would be a snowstorm tonight.
Chen Qi shivered, and didn't want to stay outside any longer, so he closed his cloak and suggested to A Xu: "Or let these little orcs stay at my house tonight, A Jing's kang bed is big enough , if you sleep sideways, it should be enough for them to squeeze together."
Many houses in the tribe have built new kang beds in the past two days, but it will take a while to use them after they are built. Now many orcs sleep on the ground with a piece of animal skin around the fire at night. Naturally, it is not as comfortable as a warm kang bed.
"Will it be too much trouble for you?" A Xu hesitated for a moment. Chen Qi's family also took in a lot of orcs, but most of them were sent here when they were sick. Now that the accommodation in the tribe has been arranged, there is no need to go back. Go to Chen Qi's house to plug people.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry, just let them stay here tonight, and just have dinner here."
Seeing that Chen Qi was not reluctant, A Xu thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
A Ze went outside to dig several barrels of snow and came back, first boiled a large bucket of hot water in the bathroom, Chen Qi asked A Jing to take these little orcs in to clean, and he went to check on the conditions of the sick people .
The orcs who were most seriously ill had been transferred to the kang beds in the hall. The heat from their bodies had dissipated, and they had woken up, but they were still extremely weak because of being sick for too long.
Seeing that no one had repeated fevers, Chen Qi was also relieved, and went to the stove to prepare dinner for the large group of people at home.
Although Luther's condition has improved, he hasn't left yet. After the other females who were taking care of them were taken to work, he took over the work of taking care of the patients, because Chen Qi said before that the cooking should be handed over to Luther. He, that's why Luther didn't make dinner hastily, and he also knew that Qi Ze City's cooking method was far from theirs.
Seeing Chen Qi getting busy, Luther hurried over to help.
Because there are many patients in the family, Chen Qi's food is relatively light, a vegetable porridge with a few stir-fried vegetables, and he doesn't cook any of Carlo's favorite fried dishes.
Although there are many vegetarians, the people of the Luoshui tribe who are used to eating meat do not dislike it. They rarely eat this kind of food, which is almost all plants. It is only these days that they realize that so many plants are edible. If we could get to know each other earlier, we wouldn't need to be hungry or full for so many winters.
Everyone sighed while eating, and secretly rejoiced that it was a wise move to choose to join Qi Ze City at the beginning. If they stayed in the lion wolf tribe now, it is hard to say whether the high fever can be cured, or whether they will be eaten by the hyena dragon Woolen cloth.
Ah Jing picked a lot of figs for the little orcs to wash. They have hardly bathed since winter, and now there is hot hot water, and Ah Jing is staring at the little beasts. A little orc almost didn't rub off a layer of skin before finally washing it out.
Seeing the little orcs coming out lined up after washing cleanly and even carrying a unique fragrance of figs, the patients who were sitting around were a little embarrassed. They didn't wash after winter, because I'm used to smelling the smell on my body, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Now when I compare it with the little orcs, I suddenly feel that my body is smelly and dirty.
Chen Qi looked at the expressions of everyone with a smile, "You guys should go wash it after eating later." A Ze had already changed the hot water in the bathroom, and the water that was about to boil was enough for these people.
Several people looked at each other, and looked at Chen Qi gratefully. The movement of eating with their hands has sped up a lot, and they all wanted to go in and wash it sooner.
As several blizzards passed, the motionless hyena dragon group was almost covered by snow into small snowdrifts. If it weren't for those pairs of eyes that were still blinking with cold light, no one would have noticed these little snowdrifts It was still alive.
During this period of time, no orc tribes have come to join the lion-wolf tribe, but the hyenas have already sucked the flesh and blood of orcs. The energy in them not only allows them to survive this winter, but also stops eating them before the next winter. nor die. So in the days when there was no need to hunt or travel, when they confronted the lion and wolf tribe quietly, they didn't even bother to move. Anyway, the chill permeated by these snowflakes had no effect on them.
The lion wolf tribe has been confronting this group of hyena dragons for more than a month, and no one has taken a step to break the deadlock, so the giant wolf god yawned boredly, thinking that the hyena dragon group would confront the lion wolf tribe like this At the end of winter, the leader of the hyena dragon finally opened his eyes from his doze. As soon as he stood up, the snow on his body fell down rustlingly. He shook his body slightly, and the snow fell down along the silver scales. , There is no longer a single snowflake staying on the body.
The leader of the hyena dragon took a deep look at the still dark ice city wall full of orc females, then turned around slowly, and said softly, "Let's go." All went into action.
A small group of hyenas walked in front of the leader of the hyenas first, and then other hyenas began to spread out, surrounding the leader in groups. The group of hyenas that had been quietly surrounded in front of the lion and wolf tribe suddenly Go in the direction of the forest.
A few hawks who didn’t know where to rest found the movement of the hyena dragon group. The long-lost birdsong resounded through the sky, flapping their wings and following behind the hyena dragon group. Then he took the lead and flew in front of the hyena dragon group. After the first few birdsongs, he fell into silence instantly, but the feathers that fell off every once in a while still pointed out the direction for the later companions.
"Leave just like that?" The Giant Wolf God leaned back on his own exclusive mount, apparently a bit incomprehensible to the decision of the hyena leader to leave suddenly. According to the strength of the hyena leader, even the hyena group may suffer heavy losses , but it is not impossible to capture this orc tribe.
"En." The leader of the hyena dragon flicked its tail lightly. It is indeed capable of capturing this tribe, but it may need to lose a lot of subordinates in the early stage. It has already hunted a lot of orcs this year, so it is not in a hurry At this moment, there will be opportunities to eat this tribe with the least loss in the future.
