A Li took his animal skin package and walked into the house step by step. Chen Qi hurriedly followed, trying to take the other party's luggage, but A Li refused. He only injured his leg, not his hand. It really compares to his strength. Even two or three Chen Qi may not be able to compare with him. Carlo told Ake a few words and followed him in.
Chen Qicheng filled the bamboo tube cleaned yesterday with two servings of broth and handed it to Carlo and Ali. The water he fetched yesterday had already been used up. At this time, there was no extra water for Chen Qi to make scented tea, so he could only make do with broth. up. Carlo took it and gulped it down in one gulp, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, "Chen Qi, I found out that your cooking tastes better than mine?"
"... Your brother did this."
Ali also took a sip and said in surprise: "Why is this soup not astringent? But it is salty. You should have added salt stones, right?"
It was only then that Chen Qi remembered those salt stones with a bitter taste, turned around and took the pottery plate containing the salt, and said to the two of them, "I removed all the strange smelling things from the salt stones."
Carlo looked curiously at the sand-like salt in the pottery dish, Ali stretched out his fingers to dip a little bit and licked, "Is this really a salt rock? How did you do it?"
Chen Qi explained to the two of them, but the two of them obviously didn't understand it, "Why don't you bring a piece of salt stone next time you come, and I'll show you how to deal with it."
"It's great, I don't have to eat those unpalatable salt stones anymore." Carlo said happily.
Chen Qihei said, it turns out that the orcs also find those salt rocks unpalatable, and it's really hard for them to eat them for so many years.
"Chen Qi." Aze came over and interrupted the few people who were chatting happily, "The water in the clay pot has been used up, I'll go to the river to get some water back."
Chen Qi frowned in confusion. If he went to fetch water by himself, it would not count how much water he could pump at his own speed. It would take more than an hour to go back and forth, but Aze was still a wounded person. Let him Going to fetch water is too inhumane, and running out of water is also a problem.
Seeing Chen Qi's worry, Aze shook his good right arm, "It's my left hand that's injured, and my right hand is fine, it's just that if I fetch water, it won't hinder me."
Ali also said: "Chen Qi, the female is not as weak as you imagined."
"That's right, look at my brother now, he doesn't look like a wounded person. Now it's fine for him to go hunting a warthog and come back."
Chen Qi looked at Aze, and found that the other person looked the same as usual except for the cloth strip tied on his left arm. If he hadn't seen the deep bone wound last night, he wouldn't be able to tell that this was still a There are people who are injured. After a long silence, Chen Qi finally nodded in agreement, picked up the newly made backpack last night, and stuffed two large clay pots into the backpack, just enough to fit it in.
Pass the backpack to Aze, "Use the backpack to store the clay pots, so that you don't have to run so many times, and you can bring back a little more water."
Carlo leaned over, "Chen Qi, why is your animal skin so strange?"
"This is the backpack I sewed." The orcs here have a very strange phenomenon. They can weave cloth and make pottery, but they can't sew or change the shape of pottery. All the pottery plates and pots in Aze's house are The straight cylinders are the same size up and down, but the shorter ones are called pottery pans by Chen Qi, and the taller and narrower ones are called pottery pots. Seeing that other orcs were full of curiosity about this new backpack, Chen Qi added, "I will teach you how to make it when I have time."
"That's settled." Seeing Aze leaving with that novelty backpack, Carlo turned and stared at Chen Qidao, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word.
Chen Qi responded with a smile.
A Li began to take out the things in his animal skin package, four fur cocoons and a few pieces of animal skin, A Li handed the animal skin to Chen Qi, "This is the animal skin coat that A Ze asked me to help you make. Dress first, and the rest will be ready before winter."
Chen Qi took it over and said that it was an animal fur coat, but in fact it was cut to the length according to Chen Qi's body, and it was just two holes that could be reached in. How can they keep out the cold in this kind of sleeveless clothes? Is it directly tied to the arm with other animal skins? It seems that if you want to wear decent clothes, you still need to do it yourself, but Chen Qi thanked Ali gratefully.
"Chen Qi, what are you going to do next?" Carlo found that the son picked up by his brother this time would always come up with a lot of novel ideas, but every idea was very useful, and he had never heard of it before. I can't help but wonder what the other party will do next.
Chen Qi put away the animal skin clothes, thought for a while, and replied: "Make a few small traps to catch wild rabbits." Now if you don't let Aze go hunting, you can't sit still.
"Hares run so fast, it's impossible to catch them at your speed."
Chen Qi looked at Carlo thoughtfully, showing a mysterious expression, "That's not necessarily true."
The trap for catching wild rabbits is so simple that it couldn't be simpler. Chen Qi didn't explain to the two of them, but took out the roots of the banyan tree and started weaving ropes. Although Carlo was itching to do what Chen Qi wanted to do, Chen Qi clearly seemed to be hanging himself. His appetite is generally not to explain to him, but Carlo can only lean over and also wants to learn how to weave rope from Chen Qi, but this Chen Qi is very patient to teach him, this kind of weaving method like braiding Carlo did not take long to learn Yes, even edited a few more than Chen Qi edited.
Ali, who had been sitting next to him until later, was also aroused by his curiosity, so he put down his work and came over to learn. By the time Aze brought the water back, several people had already braided twenty or thirty ropes.
Chen Qi got up and took the backpack from A Ze's hand, not to mention, the water in the two big clay pots was really heavy, almost fell to the ground by Chen Qi, but fortunately A Ze helped him quickly. Chen Qi put the clay pots away with lingering fear. It seems that he needs to strengthen his physical training in the future. A weak body that can't even hold two pots of water is not suitable for living here.
Chen Qi carried the empty backpack on his shoulders, picked up the pile of ropes and a few picked branches, and said to Carlo and Ali: "Aze and I are going to pick daylily flowers, and we will set up traps by the way." We did it together, are you going?"
"Go, of course, I will also weave this rope." Carlo stood up excitedly.
Ali also stood up, and nodded with curiosity in his eyes, indicating that he would also go to have a look.
"However, whether this trap can catch the hare depends on luck." Chen Qi greeted the two of them in advance, lest they would be disappointed if they couldn't catch it.
Several people went outside, Chen Qixian picked some figs from the fig tree, and applied the fig juice on his hands and the ropes and branches to be used. The figs could well cover up the smell of the orcs. Carlo also followed Chen Qi's example and got some fig juice on his hands. After finishing everything, Chen Qi stuffed the things into his backpack before setting off.
Chen Qi described the wild rabbit's path to everyone, and asked them to help them find the narrow intersection with weeds. The chances of catching wild rabbits are higher in such places.
Chen Qi and the others had caught wild rabbits nearby before, so it was not difficult to find the wild rabbit's trails, but they found several on the way to the banyan tree.
Chen Qi took out the rope and the branch, pierced a finger-wide hole at one end of the rope, passed the rope through the hole, leaving a hole a little bigger than a fist, tied the rope to the branch, and firmly fixed the branch. Insert it into the grass next to the beast path, adjust the height of the rope, and use the weeds next to it to spread the rope, so that when the hare passes by here, it can be wrapped around the hare's neck. A simple trap is thus established.
"Is it possible to catch hares in this way?" Carlo asked suspiciously looking at this simple device.
"Probably." It was also the first time for Chen Qi to do it, and he didn't dare to be 100% sure, but the method should not be wrong. The next place where the traps were set, Carlo said that he would try it too, and until he got to the banyan tree, several people set more than a dozen traps on these beast paths.
Chen Qi stood under the banyan tree and looked up. The flowers on the tree seemed to be a little more blooming than yesterday. I heard that the daylilies taste better when they are still buds. Chen Qi has never eaten freshly picked daylily flowers. Guoshen saw that Aze was already planning to climb up the tree, so he hurriedly stopped him, is this person not conscious of being wounded at all? Not afraid of the wound bursting.
"It's okay." The trunk of this banyan tree is uneven and rough, and it's not very high. Aze can climb up it with one hand.
Seeing that the other party climbed to the top of the tree easily and more flexibly than himself, Chen Qi silently swallowed the words he wanted to persuade the other party, and could only tell the other party to be careful not to be brave.
Ace smiled and nodded in agreement.
Although the banyan tree is short, it is very big. Ali also nimbly climbed up the tree to help, and threw the picked flowers on the ground. Chen Qi and Carlo were responsible for picking them up and stuffing them into their backpacks. The ropes and branches for setting traps were left in the backpacks It's all been cleared out.
I have to say that the females' hands-on ability is really fast, and the backpack was filled to the brim in a short while. Chen Qi also asked Aze to take the flowers in the backpack home first, and then brought back a few animal skins. A few people picked all the daylilies that were full of trees, and Chen Qi was satisfied.
On the way back, Chen Qi took a detour, found a few places where wild rabbits often haunted and set traps before heading back home. Then Chen Qi raised his head and saw the male cheetah that had stuck himself in a tree yesterday.
The cheetah has just hunted an adult impala. Today, there are no annoying jackals following behind, and those annoying vultures are not seen in the sky. They are planning to have a good breakfast. The impala has just given birth to life. The orc from yesterday was seen before the teeth moved from the impala's neck. Although the cheetah was quite far away from Chen Qi and the others, the hair all over its body couldn't help but explode.
Chen Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, it's really a narrow road.
