Today is a moonless day, and Azhang needs to prepare for departure tomorrow to go to the lion and wolf tribe, so he didn’t come back. Anyway, the house has already reached the stage of waiting for the jelly to dry, so Chen Qi asked them to do their own homework first. However, the matter of capping the house can wait for them to return from the lion and wolf tribe before continuing to do it.
Early in the morning, Aze dug out all the animal skins in the utility room, which were the results of his year's hunting. Aze picked and stuffed the animal skins into his backpack, and Chen Qi, who came to get firewood, entered the door I saw Aze sitting on the ground frowning and staring at the bulging backpack with a troubled look on his face.
"Is this the animal skin you want to exchange for things? How much salt rock can you exchange for such a big bag?" The animal skin is very large, and such a backpack can only be stuffed with five or six yuan at most before it is full.
"It can be exchanged for about ten yuan." Generally, animal skins can only be exchanged for one piece of salt stone, and the best and warmest animal skins selected by Aze can only be exchanged for two pieces at most. But if the animal skins are processed into animal skin clothes like Ali did, even ordinary animal skins can be exchanged for two or three dollars. Aze doesn't know how to make animal skin clothes. He used to tie dozens of animal skins together and carry them to the lion and wolf tribe when he went to the rally. If he wants to take Chen Qi to go this year, he can't carry the animal skins in the same way as before. up.
"It's only ten yuan?" Chen Qi frowned. It's not worthwhile to exchange a large bag of animal skins for such a small amount of salt stone, and it's not enough for a year. "Is there no other way to get more money?"
"If it's made into animal fur clothes like Uncle Ali's, it will double the amount."
Chen Qi rolled his eyes, "What if it's made into a backpack?"
Aze lowered his head and thought for a while, backpacks may not be very useful for females who go hunting, but they are very convenient props for orcs who go out to pick, "Maybe more than animal skins. "
Chen Qi clapped his palms, "Then I'll make some backpacks and exchange them at the rally."
Chen Qi did what he said, and found a dozen pieces of tough and thin animal skins and went back to the main room to fiddle with them. Because this time they were making goods that were intended to be exchanged, Chen Qihua naturally put more thought into them, although the style was still very simple. , but there are two more side pockets sewn on the side, so that you can put more odds and ends.
Looking at the busy Chen Qi, Aze hesitated for a moment but couldn't help asking: "Chen Qi, do you know how to carry more things when carrying people?" Only the bag of animal skins can There is very little to exchange.
"Carry more things when carrying people?" Chen Qi raised his head and saw Aze looking at him seriously. Chen Qi thought for a while before he realized that he would need Aze to carry him on his back when he was going to the Lion and Wolf Tribe, but if Aze carried it on his back, he would not be able to carry much goods. This does not mean that Aze has too little strength , but the orcs don't know how to get more things without carrying people on their backs, which is why Aze had to throw away those unreachable animal skins before bringing Chen Qi to the tribe.
"There are too few salt stones that can be replaced now, and there are not enough to be used until next year." Aze explained that when he used salt stones to cook food in the past, because the taste was not very good, he used a little bit at most each time. Basically, it can be used for several months, and now half a salt stone is used up to pickle a warthog, which is naturally not enough.
Chen Qi thought for a while, found a wooden stick of moderate length, picked up the rope used to carry the sword keel, went to the utility room, and asked Aze who followed behind with a confused face, "Which animal skins are Are you going to exchange it?"
Aze pointed to the large pile of animal skins that were as tall as a man in the corner.
Chen Qi walked over, rolled up the animal skins one by one tightly, and tied them with root hair thread. After about thirty or forty sheets were rolled, they were tied up with ropes, and he made another bundle like this, and it was done. Afterwards, he used a wooden stick to pass through the two piles of bundled animal skins, and waved to Aze, "Try and see if you can move it."
Aze walked over, bent down, picked up two large bundles of animal skins with ease, and walked a few steps forward, "If I carry the animal skins like this, I can carry you on my back."
Chen Qi silently spurned himself for a few seconds for being a retard.
So when we gathered the next day, Azhang saw Aze carrying a wooden stick on his shoulder, two piles of animal skins almost half a person's height were tied to the wooden stick, and he was carrying a bulging animal skin backpack in front of him. , with Chen Qi on his back, and behind Chen Qi there was a bulging animal skin backpack, A Ze's whole body seemed to be submerged by the animal skin, and Azhang's head was full of black lines.
There were three female sons following Azhang, two of them looked older than Azhang, with more wrinkles on their faces and a few strands of white hair on their temples, and the younger Chen Qi had seen them before. , is a female named Ale.
Although these people don't carry as many things as Azedo, there is a bulging animal skin backpack on the front and back, and an extra bundle of animal skins is tied to the animal skin backpack on the back. Everyone wants to take advantage of the annual gathering Bring as much as you can to exchange.
Azhang looked at the obvious dark circles on Chen Qi's face, "What did you do last night? It looks like you haven't slept all night."
Chen Qin patted the backpack behind him, "Last night, I sewed some animal skin backpacks, and I plan to exchange them for more salt stones at the rally."
Azhang was stunned. Ali also rushed to make a bunch of animal skin backpacks at home yesterday, and now he is carrying a large bag of animal skin backpacks and a large bag of animal skin clothes.
The lion wolf tribe is located in the inland direction of the Dora Plain, and was established near one of the tributaries of the Dosa River. To go inland, it is natural to cross the Chishui River.
At a slightly narrow estuary, there is a tree trunk of more than 20 meters across the river bank. The trunk is very new, and there is no sign of decay at all. It looks like it has just been moved here these days. .
Several people crossed the tree trunk bridge and ran all the way towards the lion wolf tribe.
Although Aze is carrying a lot of things, his speed is not slower than other females at all. Even after running for a day, he doesn't look angry at all.
Chen Qi found that A Ze was basically silent to the other females except for occasionally talking to A Zhang, even if he was on a hurry, he would intentionally stay far behind them, and would not talk to other women like A Zhang did. People walk side by side. And the others are all accustomed to it, and they will not take the initiative to talk to Aze, but there will be no emotions such as disgust or disgust on their faces. They will nod in a friendly way when they see Aze, that's all .
In the evening, everyone found a tall locust tree to rest their feet. A Ze and A Le went hunting nearby, of course they went separately. Because Chen Qi was a person who had no strength at all, he took the initiative to take over the work of lighting the fire while the others were busy looking for water and firewood. He also dug out a pottery bowl and bamboo tube from his backpack, and tied it He took off the animal hide, poured the water in the bamboo tube into a pottery bowl and put it on the fire to heat it up. He also took out a few dandelions and put them in the water, intending to make a bowl of scented tea.
It didn't take long for Aze to come back, carrying a processed warthog on his shoulder, and holding a few milk fruits in his hands, Aze handed two of the milk fruits to Chen Qi, and gave the rest to Chen Qi. After picking up Azhang, he skewered the warthog with wooden sticks and put it on the fire that Chen Qi had set up to roast slowly.
Ale came back relatively late, but he also brought back a small gazelle that had been treated. Ale carelessly walked to the side of the fire. Chen Qi obviously felt that Aze's body stiffened, and then moved away from the fire without a trace. pile of places.
This is, have a quarrel with the people in the tribe? Or are you simply not used to getting along with people? But usually getting along with Ali Azhang and the others is quite natural. Chen Qi was a little worried, and while distributing the brewed scented tea to other people, he quietly walked up to Ah Zhang to find out what was going on.
A Zhang took the bamboo tube from Chen Qi, looked at A Ze who was sitting in the corner, and sighed, "This is related to his father and Carlo's father, so don't ask too much about it." , if you want to know, let Aze tell you."
Seeing that Azhang didn't want to say more, Chen Qi went back to Aze and handed the brewed scented tea to Aze, "You must be exhausted after walking so far, drink some tea to relieve fatigue."
A Ze took over the pottery bowl, in fact he was not tired at all, he wanted to help with the barbecue, but Chen Qi didn't let him intervene. Chen Qi cut one of the brussels and put it in a pile of water, then cut some pork from the warthog and put it in the brussels to cook broth.
Because Chen Qi was a male son, he was naturally placed on the tallest and largest trunk of the locust tree when he was resting at night, so Aze naturally stayed with Chen Qi.
The rest of the journey was very peaceful along the way. It was at this time that Chen Qi realized how huge the migratory army on the Dora Plain was. It was not hundreds of thousands of animals, but tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of animals together. Moving in the same direction, the place they pass through is completely stepped out of a huge passage, and the animals that catch up behind will follow this road to their final destination.
The orcs didn't avoid walking. Perhaps after participating in the rally for so many years, they have figured out the law of animal migration. There will be no animals blocking the way on their way forward. Instead, relying on these migrating troops, they will not be able to lack of food.
Three days later, Chen Qi saw three tall rocky mountains from a distance. The rocky mountains here were much taller and steeper than the short rocky mountain of the Rocky Mountain Tribe, and they formed a semicircle. Inside the huge semicircle that was surrounded.
The lion wolf tribe is the same as the Yanshan tribe. There are guards squatting on the tall acacia tree outside the tribe. When they see a few people coming, they jump down from the tree and ask which tribe they belong to before letting them go. At this time, the orc tribe naturally There is no such thing as visitor registration.
Chen Qi thought that a big tribe like the Lion Wolf tribe would be more organized than the Rock Mountain tribe. It wasn't until he approached the tribe that he realized how cruel the reality was. There were a few rotten tree trunks outside the tribe as barriers. Ordinary jackals can't stop them. The houses are built in a mess like the Rock Mountain Tribe. Each building is narrow and small. There is no complete road. You need to follow the twisted dirt road like a small alley walk.
