Chen Qi used charcoal ash to simply draw the required room structure on the ground. Although there would be some errors in using a rope as a measuring tool, he could only make do with it now.
Ali has been watching Chen Qi sprinkle charcoal ash on the rope stretching path, and when Chen Qi finally finishes his work, he points to the small squares circled by black circles in doubt, "Chen Qi, what are these for?" ?”
Chen Qi looked at the place he was pointing at, and replied: "That is to be used as a pillar after the sword dragon bones are dug in."
"How deep do we have to dig?"
Chen Qi measured the height of the sword keel with his own eyes. The sword keel was probably more than four meters long. After thinking for a while, he replied, "It should be as deep as half a person."
"Do you dig according to the area drawn by the black circle?" Ali turned on the curious baby mode and continued to ask.
"Yeah." Chen Qi responded, remembering the bone that Aze helped polish yesterday, went back to the house to look for it, and found that the bone was almost sharpened, it was a mistake not to make this thing into a hoe last night, Otherwise it will work now.
There was no long wooden stick suitable for making a hoe in the house, so Chen Qi first turned out the gum and put it in the fire to melt, planning to use it when making a hoe later.
When I went out, I saw Carlo lying on the ground, and seeing Chen Qi coming out, Carlo quickly waved, "Chen Qi, come and take a look."
Hearing the sound, Ali poked his head out of a hole in the open space where the house was built, and shouted to Chen Qi: "Chen Qi, is this depth acceptable?"
Chen Qi was taken aback, and hurried over to have a look. It took only a long time, but Ali had already dug a posthole half a person's height. "How did you dig so fast?"
"Uncle Ali is a female."
Chen Qi choked, this is really a powerful reason, it seems that his bony hoe is not comparable in front of the female nails.
Chen Qi circled the posthole a few times, "Let's put the sword keel in and see the effect."
Chen Qi went to the place where the sword keel was piled up, and wanted to lift it up. Don't look at Ake who can carry Carlo on his back and also carry a sword keel with a relaxed face. The moment Chen Qi picked up the sword keel, he almost jumped He couldn't stand up, and almost hit his feet when he let go because he couldn't hold it steady. Fortunately, he was quick to escape. Ah Li couldn't see it, so he hurried over to help, and easily took it with his hand. Chen Qi touched his nose in a little embarrassment.
The stego keel looked decent after being placed in the posthole.
At this time, A Ze also came back after fetching water. Hearing that Chen Qi wanted to build the posthole where the sword keel was placed like a house, he went to the river to dig two large bags of sand and came back. The construction method of the orcs' houses is very simple. The melted gums are mixed with sand and water, and poured into large stone slabs piled up. After the water in the gums and sand is dried, the house is built. .
Naturally, the posthole cannot be stuffed into the stone slab, but there are many finely broken stones in the wilderness, and Aze melted another jelly fruit. While waiting for Aze to mix the sediment and the jelly fruit, Chen Qi took the other two People collected a lot of these finely crushed stones, and then spread a layer of gravel in the posthole, poured a layer of pectin sand, and then laid new gravel on top, and so on, until the posthole was filled. All that's left is to wait for it to dry.
In order to prevent the sword keel from tilting to one side because it was too high, Chen Qi also used a long wooden stick to make a simple tripod to fix the position of the sword keel. In this way, a base pillar is basically completed.
Chen Qi didn't want to waste time, so he planned to do the same for the rest of the pillars. In this case, the sword keel and jelly would not be enough, so they split up, Aze went to get the sword keel, and A Li took Chen Qi and Carlo Go pick the gummies.
When Chen Qi and the others came back from picking the fruit, they saw that Ake and Azhang had also returned with their prey, and today it was a gazelle. Because I promised to help Chen Qi build a house yesterday, Ake and Azhang came back earlier at noon today, and they came back after hunting enough food for today. Luo stuffed the potato vines he brought back into his backpack, and told Ake to dig it back when he saw this kind of similar one. Unexpectedly, Ake actually came across one while hunting today.
With the addition of two female sons, the progress was naturally much faster. Before lunch, all twelve postholes were dug, and twelve sword keel bones were also brought back.
Because he didn't want to waste time, Chen Qi still made roasted whole lamb at noon. This time, Ali and Carlo also came to help. They also brought two salt stones here today. Chen Qi taught the two while waiting for the antelope meat to be cooked. How to filter and refine the salt stone, Ake and Azhang also sat beside and carefully wrote down the steps.
The dandelions were already eaten yesterday, and Chen Qi fried the remaining warthog offal last night with a few slices of wild ginger, cut two yogurts and poured them into a ceramic plate. Chen Qi was worried that the yogurts were too sweet, so he added Some water was mixed together, together with the few sweet potatoes that Ake found today, Chen Qi made a pottery plate full of sweet potato syrup. Although it was the first time for them to eat something like syrup, they all showed A Zhang also asked Ake to give him the potato vines he found today, and planned to look for it himself tomorrow.
"This kind of sweet potato can be stored for a long time, and the longer it is stored, the sweeter it will become. If you find a lot, you can store some and eat it in winter."
"Chen Qi, you are amazing, how do you know so much? Do you know that there is something as delicious as this sweet potato?" Carlo was quick to praise with his mouth full.
Chen Qi filled his empty bamboo tube with a smile, "Yes, there are still many delicious things that you haven't eaten here, and I will tell you next time I find them."
"It's a deal." Carlo took the bamboo tube refilled with sugar water, and ate it happily, completely forgetting that there was a whole gazelle roasting on the fire next to it, but the orcs would like to roast meat every day. Eating, naturally not as attractive as this new sugar water, Chen Qi sighed softly, he should put the sugar water as dessert after the meal.
After the meal, Chen Qi was called aside by Ali, and the others were responsible for cleaning up the mess. Although everyone wiped out the big pottery pan of sugar water first, but there were four females, a gazelle naturally Impossible to be left behind.
Ali handed Chen Qi the few bolts of cloth that he brought over in the morning, "I knit this when I have nothing to do. I'll use it for you first."
"But I haven't paid you for the last cloth."
"I gave you this." A Li smiled and stuffed the cloth into Chen Qi's arms, "You taught me how to make a backpack and how to set up traps. I also set up a few rabbit traps around the tribe this morning. , if you can catch the prey, a few pieces of cloth are nothing. Besides, Aze used a lot of prey to exchange those useless pottery from me before. You can also treat this as he paid the reward in advance. .”
Chen Qi hesitated for a while and then stopped postponing. Anyway, he still had to deal with Ali for a long time, and he was not in a hurry if he wanted to pay him. With these few bolts of cloth, he could finally replace him. The clothes that have been worn for several days.
After resting for a while, everyone continued to work. Gum and sand needed a lot of water. Azhang and Aze were responsible for fetching water and digging up sand. Four animal skin backpacks were used. Several other people collected the nearby broken stones together, and Ake, who was too big, was responsible for smashing them.
It wasn't until late in the evening that the twelve sword keel bones were finished. Chen Qi was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to stand up when he was sitting on the ground. A Ze gave him half a bamboo tube of cold boiled water, and Chen Qi took it. When I came over, I just drank it up and down.
"Carol, I'm leaving for one night tomorrow, so you don't have to come here. I'll send Chen Qi to the tribe in the morning. Do you keep the room I stayed in before? Let Chen Qi stay there for one night, and the day after tomorrow I will I'll pick him up." Aze said to Carlo who was sitting next to him, who was also exhausted.
Although Carlo was tired, he was not as unwilling to move as Chen Qi was lying on the ground. He was leaning comfortably on Ake's shoulder and asked Ake to rub his sore shoulders. When he heard Aze speak, he raised his head, " Brother, where are you going?"
"He's going to get the locust dragon's eyes back. We saw a locust dragon that had been dead for a long time on the way back." Chen Qi explained.
"What do you do with the locust dragon's eyes?" Ali interjected, the locust dragon's eyes are thin and hard, what can they do
"Make the windows of the house."
"Window? What is a window?"
"It's about making people in the house see what's outside."
Azhang's eyes lit up, wouldn't it be so dark inside the house? "Chen Qi, you must call me when you are going to make the window, and you two are not allowed to finish it secretly."
"Me too, me too." Carlo quickly raised his hand. Although he didn't quite understand what a window was, it must be something useful to see Azhang's reaction.
Chen Qi nodded helplessly, "Okay." With them here, the progress of the house would be faster, of course Chen Qi would be happy to let them come.
Chen Qi had been working all day and really didn't want to move anymore, so Aze went to the place where the trap was set up before when everyone else was around to see if he had caught any prey after the day. Carlo didn't know where the energy came from. Said to see the trap and quickly followed. But maybe because the hares around had been caught almost, this time Aze only brought back one hare.
After collecting the prey from the trap, Carlo and the others went back to the tribe. Chen Qi wanted to take back the other gazelle they hunted back at noon, but they were unwilling. Later, he proposed to roast the gazelles and let them leave after dinner, but Azhang said that there were still many things to be busy in the tribe, and it would be dangerous to go back too late, so Chen Qi had to give up.
After the few people left, Chen Qi sat outside the door in the afterglow of the setting sun and looked at the dozens of sword dragon bones standing beside him, feeling full of satisfaction in his heart.
This is his future home.
