Chen Qi was silent for a while, avoiding A Ze's gaze with a little discomfort, took out the two small thistles from the pottery plate that he had received before, and sat opposite A Ze, "Show me the wound."
Aze hesitated a little, put his right hand on his left arm, which was tied with animal skin, and did not move for a long time.
"I just want to see if your wound is serious, has it been treated?" Chen Qi explained patiently.
Aze hesitated for a moment, and slowly took off the animal skin. When he took it off, he accidentally touched the wound. Aze frowned unconsciously. When the animal skin was lifted, a large piece of maroon mud came out.
Chen Qi looked intently, his pupils shrunk slightly, and his voice raised a few degrees unconsciously, "Is this how you treat your wound?" He knew that in this kind of place where there is a lack of medical care, no, there is no medical treatment. , It's strange if you can take good care of the injury.
I saw a few scratch marks on the wound that were almost visible to the bone. The soil covering the wound was not sure whether it was brownish red or stained red with blood. A large piece was taken off by the animal belt. To be honest, Chen Qi has lived so long, apart from seeing all kinds of bloody scenes on the screen, this is the first time he has seen such a serious injury at close range, but now this injured person is sitting there with such a calm expression on his face. In front of him, it seemed that he was not the one who was hurt.
Chen Qi didn't know if the orcs were all injured with mud directly on the wound, but now it seems that the effect of the mud is not very good, and it is not known how many bacteria are hidden in the mud. One arm is useless.
Chen Qi got up silently, found a clean earthenware plate, mixed some warm water and came back. Because he had nothing to do while waiting for Aze, he boiled half a pottery pan of boiling water for backup, but he didn't expect it to be used to clean the wound.
Chen Qi used up half of the cloth that he brought back from A Li in various ways, and now he cut the rest into two pieces of cloth, preparing to use it as a bandage. He took out a small piece of cloth that was used as a towel, and cleaned off the mud on the wound with hot water. As soon as the towel touched A Ze's arm, he heard A Ze gasp, and quickly Concentrating on his expression, his small eyes sneaked glances at Chen Qi's serious look with his head down from time to time.
Aze's wound may have been covered with mud, or it may be because the orc has a strong self-healing ability. Although the wound looks terrifying, there is no bleeding. Chen Qi blew gently on the wound while washing, occasionally raised his head and asked A Ze, "Does it hurt?" Seeing A Ze shaking his head, he continued.
After cleaning up the mud, crush the thistle with a stone, mix it with the juice and apply it gently on the wound, then take the spare cloth and wrap it up. Chen Qi didn't have many opportunities to bandage, so the effect of bandaging was not very good-looking, but the bandage was quite firm, even if Aze accidentally moved his arm, it would not be easily loosened.
The wound on the neck was just a few shallow scratches, and did not break the skin to bleed. Chen Qi only knew that thistle had the effect of stopping bleeding, but he didn't know if it had the effect of removing blood stasis, but he still dipped a little juice and wiped it on. On A Ze's neck, when his fingers touched A Ze's skin, he felt the other party flinch.
After finishing the treatment, Chen Qi cleaned up the things, and said: "Don't touch the wound casually today, and don't go hunting tomorrow."
Aze moved his lips and jaw a few times, trying to say that he was not that serious, he had suffered more serious injuries, and he was still able to hunt alive and kicking back then. Chen Qi interrupted: "Accompany me to pick daylily flowers tomorrow, at the place where I met the vultures in the morning." After spending a few days together, Chen Qi also knows a lot about A Ze, as long as he asks The other party will not refuse, and I can prevent the other party from moving around at will and tearing the wound.
Sure enough, Aze did not refuse Chen Qi's request, and nodded slightly, "Okay."
Only then did Chen Qi remember that the daylily flowers growing on the tree didn't know if there was any problem, so he took those shriveled flowers and showed them to A Ze.
Aze observed it carefully, and sniffed it under his nose, "This flower is not poisonous, and it should be fine to eat."
Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, raised a happy smile, and added another kind of food.
As if thinking of something, Aze took out a black irregular stone from under the fur of the little gazelle next to him and handed it to Chen Qi, "Millstone."
Chen Qi took it. Except for the shape, the texture of the stone was very similar to the ones seen in the store. "Thank you. Are you hungry? I'll go cook."
Chen Qi walked to the little gazelle. The gazelle had already been disposed of by Aze. The head and internal organs were probably thrown into the Chishui River long ago, but the sheep's heart and kidney were left behind by Aze.
Chen Qi smiled, cut the sheep heart and kidney in half and put them in hot water to blanch the blood, then fried a plate of fried sheep heart and kidney with dandelions, and cut the pig's foot in half for the rest of the lunch It was fried, and the remaining half was cut into strips by Chen Qi, and put on a temporary shelf next to the fire to make simple smoked meat. The moisture in the strips evaporates, which keeps the meat longer.
The bone broth has long been stewed with the bones of the warthog at noon, and it can be drunk with a little salt at this time. The remaining gazelle, Chen Qi, cut two legs of lamb and roasted them on the fire. Now that the seasoning has not been removed, roasting it will taste better than other methods.
Chen Qi has always been unclear about the food intake of the orcs. Sometimes Aze can eat half an adult male warthog by himself, and sometimes a small hare or a few fruits can also handle a meal. So when cooking, Chen Qi is always entangled in the amount, afraid that if he cooks too much, the other party will force him to eat it all, and he will be supportive, and if he cooks less, he is afraid that the other party will be hungry.
A meal is either a roast or a stir-fry, and it doesn't take much time to prepare. At noon, Aze only tasted the pig heart and kidney. Unexpectedly, he ate half of the sheep heart and kidney at night. Chen Qi was very happy that the orcs could accept animal offal. , so that there is no need to waste it in the future, maybe you can try to keep the head as well, there is a lot of meat in the head. Chen Qi thought while stuffing a piece of warthog pork into his mouth.
After dinner, there was not enough water to wash the utensils, so Chen Qi piled the things in a corner and planned to deal with them tomorrow. After a brief wash, Chen Qi didn't agree with Aze to continue sleeping on the ground tonight. It's a joke, he is a wounded person and the owner of this place, and it's embarrassing enough to occupy that bed for a few nights. Aze couldn't resist him, so he laid several layers of animal skins by the fire where he usually slept before compromising. The corners of Chen Qi's mouth twitched. In this kind of weather just like the beginning of autumn, even sleeping by the fire at night, he had to make a few layers of animal skins, so he wasn't afraid that it would be too hot in the middle of the night.
However, Chen Qi didn't directly refuse, and moved the animal skin mattress away from the fire. Not to mention, it was quite comfortable to lie on. This time, Chen Qi slept very deeply.
When he woke up the next morning before dawn, Chen Qi wondered if he had woken up too early, but he saw that Aze was already sitting by the fire, cooking broth, today's gazelle soup.
"Morning." Chen Qi rubbed his eyes and got up, rolled up the animal skin cushion and put it back into the pile of animal skins beside the bed. Opening the door curtain, the two fire plates at the door had been extinguished long ago, leaving only a layer of gray-black carbon.
The sky was still pitch black, nothing could be seen and no sound could be heard, and the silence was terrifying. Just when Chen Qi was about to turn around and go back to the house, the sun emerged from a corner of the horizon. In an instant, the darkness quickly retreated as if being driven away by something, and it turned from night to day almost without any transition. Chen Qi was stunned by this phenomenon.
"Chen Qi, the broth is ready." Ze shouted from inside the house.
Chen Qi settled down, he should be used to the strange events in this world.
The two of them had just finished eating when there was a sound of talking outside the door. Before Chen Qi got up and went out to check, Carlo had already run in, shouting as he ran, "Chen Qi, I brought the bones here, Quickly see if it's the one you want." After speaking, he pulled Chen Qi up and went outside.
Apart from Ake outside, Ali also stood beside him with a large animal skin package on his back. The white bones were piled up under Ake's feet, which were about as thick as half a human hugging him, and looked three to four meters high.
Chen Qi said hello to Ake Ali, squatted down in front of the sword bone, reached out and knocked, and made a dull sound, "Is this bone really hard even if it's not afraid of rain or fire?"
"Of course." Carlo replied, "This is the bone of a stegosaurus. This bone came back from hunting with the female son of the tribe when Ake was an adult. It has not changed for many years."
"I decided to use it to build a house." Chen Qi made a final decision.
"Can this thing build a house?"
"Yes." Chen Qi smiled mysteriously, "You will know when it is completed."
"Hmph, playing tricks." Carlo snorted, turned around and said to Aze who came out, "Brother, you go hunting with Ake today."
Before A Ze could reply, Chen Qi refused aloud: "A Ze will not go hunting today."
"Why?" Carlo looked at Chen Qi suspiciously, where did his brother get the food if he didn't hunt.
"I was injured a little yesterday, so I won't go hunting today. If you want to eat lunch here, let Ake deliver the food here. We only have one gazelle." Aze glanced at Ake and explained lightly.
Carlo choked, this is really his brother. Then he asked worriedly: "Where is your injury? Is it serious?" His eyes looked up and down on Aze, but he couldn't see where he was injured.
"It's not serious, it's just a little skin scratch on the arm, it will be fine in two days."
"Cut to the bone." Chen Qi complained softly. The male son's hearing is not as sensitive as the female son's. Carlo didn't hear it, but Ake and Ali heard Chen Qi's muttering, and they looked at each other. With a glance, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this Xiongzi doesn't care about Aze.
