A Ze automatically contracted the task of cleaning the pottery dishes. Chen Qi is the type who can cook a meal, but hates washing dishes. Because of this problem, he usually doesn't bother to cook by himself. Just call and order takeout.
Ake was sent by Aze to fetch water. After all the troubles before, the water in the clay pot was almost used up. Seeing Ake running away with two big clay pots, Chen Qi almost wanted to ask who As a partner and brother-in-law, isn't Ake pregnant? Why didn't I get the so-called pregnant woman at all? treatment? Speaking of that flat belly, is there really a life inside? Chen Qi swallowed the question silently, always feeling that the answer he got after asking would open a new door for him.
People who are full of food and drink will become lazy, Chen Qixin walks slowly around the clearing that was cleared in the morning, where he will build a home that he will live in for a long time in the future, a home that is completely his own. The word "own" made Chen Qi feel a sense of satisfaction. After working for several years, he still couldn't afford the down payment. He never thought that he would have a piece of land that was completely his own after time travel. How much do you want? There is as much land as there is. You can build the house you want on it, make a small garden that you have always wanted, plant a few fruit trees, and get a deck chair to lie under the tree to enjoy the shade in summer, just like every time you work late at night, you will think about it after retirement. life the same. This mood is very subtle.
However, no matter how good his imagination is, Chen Qi has to be defeated by reality. First of all, he has never built a house. Even if you can use the orc's method of building a house, if you don't lay a good foundation, won't the built house still be the same low? Chen Qi just couldn't bear the fact that their house could touch the roof with just a lift of his hand, and there was no window that could let light pass through the dense surroundings. After the animal skin curtain was lowered, it would be dark, so he planned to build it himself.
So the question is, first of all, what are the load-bearing columns used for? wood? Is the wood of those wooden houses treated? Will the wood rot over time? Chen Qi didn't understand at all.
With a headache, he squatted down and tilted his head to look at A Ze who was earnestly cleaning the pottery plate with a fig fruit next to him. He seemed to be asking, and asked in a low voice as if talking to himself: "A Ze, what do you have here?" Isn't there something like a pillar that's long and strong and has a strong load-bearing capacity that won't rot?"
Ze stopped what he was doing and looked up at him suspiciously. Chen Qi sighed in frustration again, if there were such ready-made pillars, would the orcs still live in such a low house with the wisdom that they can build stone houses
"Have."
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Before Chen Qi realized what Aze was talking about, Aze had already washed off the foam on his hands in another plate of clean water, and went to the utility room at the back. The root is only about a meter long with white bones back.
A Ze handed the bone as thick as an arm to Chen Qi, "Is this what you want?"
Chen Qi took it over, the bone was not as heavy as it looked, and the surface felt rough to the touch, A Ze said: "This sword keel is from the little stegosaurus I hunted when I was an adult. After being built, it has been placed outside for two years, and it still hasn’t changed, and the bones of Stegosaurus are very hard.” Azebi scratched, “It’s harder than a gum tree trunk, and harder than a rock, so it’s not afraid of fire or rain. .”
Surprised, Chen Qi took out the sword horn knife from his pocket and chopped it hard on the bone. There was a crisp sound when it touched, but no scratches were left. Chen Qi happily looked at it again and again, if there is such a bone, it can serve as the foundation of the house, and then he slumped his shoulders, "This bone is too short, it would be great if it could be two or three times longer. "
"Tomorrow I will bring you back a sword bone of an adult Stegosaurus, which is much bigger than this one."
Chen Qi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Are you going to hunt a stegosaurus? That's too dangerous, no need, I can find wood instead." The big deal is that the wood will rot and build a new one. Didn't the wooden buildings of thousands of years have also withstood the wind and rain? Chen Qi didn't believe that the wood here would be worse than the ones in his original world.
Aze smiled. It seems that the place Chen Qi stayed in before was different from their coming-of-age ceremony here, and explained: "I didn't go hunting Stegosaurus. Our tribe used to have a coming-of-age ceremony that has been passed down for a long time. Thirty females who have just grown up will go into the depths of the Luoya forest to hunt a stegosaurus. The bigger the stegosaurus hunted proves that the females are more capable. However, the bones of the stegosaurus are too big and too It was too hard, so the tribesmen dug a deep pit behind the rock to discard the bones."
"Isn't the coming-of-age ceremony of your tribe a Stegosaurus hunter?" Carlo, who didn't know when he came out, interrupted and asked.
"Our tribe doesn't have a coming-of-age ceremony." Maybe there is somewhere, anyway, Chen Qi himself has never experienced it. When he was an adult, he was an ordinary good student in the school.
After solving the problem of the foundation of the house, Chen Qi started to have a headache about how to dig the foundation. He couldn't let Aze do the work with his paws alone, could he? He glanced at Carlo who had moved to the side of the pottery plate and started to help Aze clean the pottery plate. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he put the bone in his hand aside, "Azee, can I use the bones in your house?"
"Yes, you can use whatever you need, you don't need to ask me."
"Why do you need so many bones?" Carlo asked curiously, washing away the foam on the pottery dish with clean water.
Chen Qi smiled at Carlo, but did not answer. After the meal, Carlo's attitude towards him changed obviously. He was not like a little hedgehog with fried hair when we first met, who wanted to choke no matter what he said. a bit. Chen Qi also didn't want to narcissistically think that his food captured the other party, so he couldn't wait to enter the house. Carlo's bone knife was really sharp and easy to use. If he could use bones instead of metal to make various farm tools, then a A small foundation will not trouble him.
The bones collected by A Ze are not fixed, and the shape and color of each bone are different. There are also a few bones that Chen Qi just broke with his hands to try their hardness, but they were broken into two directly. There is a kind of bright red bone that looks like coral. It looks good, but Chen Qi really can't imagine what kind of creature has such a bone. Aside from the good-looking bones of a large pottery dish, there was no practical one at all. Chen Qi couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, so he went to the utility room at the back, where the bones of a large pottery pot were also collected.
After Chen Qi left, Carlo approached Aze and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you considering sending Chen Qi to the lion wolf tribe?"
The movements in Aze's hands paused, "No."
"Don't lie to me, Ake told me, it's because he almost had an accident in the morning?" Carlo snorted softly, didn't he know about Aze
"I'm wondering if it's too dangerous to let him live in the tribe. It's too dangerous to live with me in this wilderness."
"Where is the danger? The animals here will migrate away in more than ten days. They will not come back next year. You just need to be careful during this time."
Aze pursed his thin lips, but did not speak. I won't be back next year, what about the year after
Carlo couldn't help but patted Aze's head, covering the other's head with foam, "I think Chen Qi is very good, if you are worried, I can come here every day, or you can ask Uncle A Li to stay with you during the day Here, doesn’t Chen Qi want cloth? Uncle A Li’s weaving at home is the same as weaving at your place, and the dishes Chen Qi cooks are so delicious, Uncle A Li will definitely agree.” My elder brother is here One point is that he is too unconfident. He sees that Chen Qi is quite comfortable living here, and he doesn't look unhappy at all. This is also the reason why he changed his view on Chen Qi. As long as he is someone who really wants to get along with his brother Luo would feel inexplicably fond of that person.
"Bought you for a meal?" Ake, who had just returned, hesitated when he heard Carlo's words.
Carlo rolled his eyes, "I'm thinking of my brother."
"I don't know who made all kinds of faces when they saw him this morning?"
Carlo ran over angrily, grabbed his arm, and bit him without any force, leaving only a faint tooth mark, but Ake wailed exaggeratedly: "Are you a wolf cub, you bite me red What if the baby learns how to bite people like you in the future?"
"I didn't bite anyone, I only bit you." Carlo argued dissatisfiedly.
Looking at Carlo's angry little face, Ake couldn't help sneaking a kiss at the corner of his mouth. If Carlo had kicked him before, now he has nothing to do with this hooligan except to be sulking.
Ake comforted Carlo, and said to Aze: "Actually, what Carlo said makes sense. Let Uncle Ali come over tomorrow. The two of us are enough for hunting. Animals with females here are not I will get closer." Seeing that Aze was silent, Ake patted the other person on the shoulder, "Don't give up what you want so easily, think about whether you will regret it in the future."
Aze touched the animal skin that had been tied on his right wrist, and hummed softly.
After cleaning the pottery dishes, Ake and Carlo greeted Chen Qi and went back. The two of them wanted to come here temporarily today, and the prey that came back from hunting yesterday had not been processed at home.
Chen Qi was sorting out the bones in the utility room. After a round of careful selection, he only found three pieces whose hardness met his requirements and could be used. One is as thick as a little finger, as long as one end is sharpened, it should be able to be used as a bone needle. The other, much smaller one, is completely a bone needle, only as thick as a toothpick, with both ends pointed, in order to prevent injury, it is best to blunt one of the pointed ends before using it. The last one was bigger than the first two, almost as big as two fists with the length of a forearm, and blunt on all sides, but it might be used to make a hoe after being polished.
Later, after Chen Qi asked Aze, he realized that the flat piece and the slightly thicker bone needle were both Stegosaurus bones, and the smallest bone was actually a Hyenasaurus bone. Chen Qi had to sigh, Stegosaurus is really a treasure.
