When Aze came back, he saw a circle of half-meter-high snow surrounding the house from a distance. After walking into the fence, he didn't see Chen Qi's figure. He was wondering when he heard a voice coming from behind the house. Aze put the huge dragon carcass on the ground on his shoulders, turned to the back of the house, and saw Chen Qi and Carlo squatting on the ground and pulling something.
A Ze was about to ask, but he saw that Chen Qi had stood up, turned around, and was carefully holding a finger-thick brownish-yellow plant root in his mud-stained hands. Chen Qi saw A Ze , hurriedly handed the rhizome in front of Aze, her beautiful black eyes were amazingly bright, and asked expectantly: "Aze, please help me see if there is any problem with this thing."
When Chen Qi usually asks this question, he subconsciously asks if this food can be eaten. A Ze took the small root, turned it over, looked it up and down, sniffed it under his nose, handed it back to Chen Qi, and replied: "If you want to eat this, there should be no problem. "
"Chen Qi, is this really the ginseng you mentioned?" Carlo asked. Today, after shoveling the snow in the yard to the fence, Chen Qi looked at the withered and yellow weeds in the garden and planned to clean it up. Unexpectedly, he found a green plant behind the house. He just planned to dig it out to see. Seeing what it was, Chen Qi excitedly shouted that it was ginseng when he dug out the rhizome.
Chen Qi is actually not 100% sure that this is ginseng. After all, he has not dug wild freshly unearthed ginseng himself. It has made Chen Qi happy for a long time.
Chen Qi carefully took the ginseng back into the house, cleaned up the dirt on the root, cut a piece of clean cloth to wrap the ginseng, and put it back on the top of the newly made cabinet in his room.
After putting away the ginseng, Chen Qi remembered that he saw Aze coming back after hunting the porpoise dragon. Chen Qi hurried out of the room, Carlo was helping Aze to unload the backpack on his back, which was bulging and filled with all kinds of ingredients that Chen Qi would use for cooking. Seeing that Aze was alone, Chen Qi asked a little strangely: "Aze, why are you the only one back?"
"Uncle Azhang and the others will bring Dolphin Dragon back to the tribe first, and then they will come with Ake to pick up Uncle Li and Carlo back later." Aze answered Chen Qi's question while taking out the rice berries in his backpack. The size is too large, and one backpack can only bring back a few, so Aze also found a lot of smaller things like peppers and wild ginger, and used the space in the backpack as much as possible.
After finishing the last stitch, Ali bit off the root thread with his teeth, stood up with a smile and said, "Is the porpoise dragon you hunted back this year still the biggest? Chen Qi, let's go out and have a look." Last year Aze gave Ali once hunted a porpoise dragon, which was the biggest prey in the tribe. Every time Ali talked about the porpoise dragon, Azhang looked at Aze as if his eyes were on fire, as if he wanted to pounce on him at any time and fight.
Speaking of his prey, Aze couldn't help turning his eyes to Chen Qi. He never cared much about the size of his prey before, but this time he deliberately chose the largest male porpoise dragon. It means to show off in front of your partner who is out of the oven.
Chen Qi had been absorbed by the newly discovered ginseng just now, and only then remembered the matter of the porpoise dragon. He was still very curious about this kind of creature that he had never seen before. Following A Li to the outside of the house, I saw a huge pig falling down not far away.
Chen Qichao stepped forward to take a look, and found that this so-called porpoise dragon really looked like a domestic pig. Its fur was beautiful pink, its limbs were very short, and it was more than two meters high when it fell down. The sharp tusks are their weapons for finding food such as tree roots and grass roots in winter.
Chen Qi's eyes lit up. Although Aze had also hunted warthogs before, the meat of warthogs was relatively tough, and the taste was naturally quite different from the domestic pigs Chen Qi was used to eating. When he saw a fat and strong creature like a domestic pig, Chen Qi couldn't wait to cook a big table of delicacies.
The newly enclosed yard has been tidied up by Chen Qi. Aze didn't want to make the yard dirty, so he moved the porpoise dragon to the ditch outside the wall behind the house to deal with it. For convenience, Chen Qi also opened a door in the wall behind. Fortunately, the wall is only half a meter high. Otherwise, with the size of the porpoise dragon, the size of the door that opened may not be able to get out.
Chen Qi set up a fire next to the ditch, and took a few pottery plates out to melt snow water, this time there is no need to worry about the water problem, Chen Qi asked A Ze to dispose of all the internal organs, even the large intestine, and took Some salt came out, and the cleaned large intestine was scratched with salt and then cleaned.
When Azhang and Ake arrived, Chen Qizheng asked someone to clear out several large boxes in the storage room and put them outside the door, and filled the boxes with the prepared dragon meat. The current plain is like a large natural refrigerator, and Chen Qi doesn't need to marinate the dragon meat with salt, it's just frozen outside the door, and it's good to go out to get it when needed.
It was too late, and the others were worried that it would snow again at night, so they said hello to Chen Qi and packed up their things and went back to the village. In just one day today, Ali made all the clothes Chen Qi needed, two cloth shirts and two animal skin coats. The rest of the animal skins at home are all fluffy and warm, so the sizes Chen Qi asked Ali to make are all too large, so that it doesn't hinder how many clothes can be worn inside.
"Ah Ze, come here and try some clothes on." Chen Qi shook the clothes in his hand and said to A Ze, the shirt he tried out earlier was not as good-looking as Ah Li's, and Chen Qi planned to keep it for himself.
The animal fur coat that Aze is wearing now is still the style that A Li used to make, with a piece of animal skin wrapped around his arm with a rope as a sleeve. When taking off his clothes, Aze hesitated for a moment. Except for his head, other parts of his body had already turned into fur. For some reason, he didn't want Chen Qi to see his bestial appearance.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Aze put his hands on the belt and did not move, Chen Qi felt a little strange. Aze should already have animal fur on his body, and he couldn't be shy because he was afraid of being exposed.
A Ze looked at Chen Qi, his eyes flickered twice, but in the end he still didn't take the fur back, took off the crude animal skin clothes on his body, and changed into the two clothes that Chen Qi handed over. The cloth shirt was worn on the Inside and outside, I put on a coat. Although the color is different, the style is similar to the suit I wore before. Chen Qi was a little dazed looking at Aze who put on his clothes, and felt as if he had returned to that civilized world.
Seeing that Chen Qi was a little dazed, Aze asked a little nervously: "Am I not well dressed?" Or is it because the animalized self is ugly? I heard that some males don't like the animalized appearance of females. Of course, Aze dared not ask the latter sentence.
Chen Qi came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, "No, you look good in it." Maybe you can try to make a suit, A Ze must be very handsome in it.
Seeing the same expression in Chen Qi's eyes, A Ze silently breathed a sigh of relief.
After resting for a day, Aze followed the tribe to continue hunting the porpoise dragon. After Chen Qi discovered Ali's tailoring talent, he encouraged him to continue making other things, from pants, cloaks, hats, socks to scarves, etc. Everything imaginable on the whole body was drawn with charcoal, and he explained to A Li while instructing him how to do it. Finally, Chen Qi also gave A Li his own shoes as a reference to study and made animal skin boots.
Thanks to Chen Qi, when A Ze came back from hunting for the last time, all the orcs that Chen Qi was acquainted with all got rid of their animal skin skirts and put on more modern clothes. Although I still feel uncomfortable when I first put it on, the clothes made by Ali are relatively loose and will not affect the usual activities. Every morning, the animal skin sleeves must be tied with a rope to keep warm.
Forty or fifty wooden boxes have been stacked neatly outside Chen Qi's house, many of which were newly made one after another recently. Given Chen Qi's appetite, this pile of things might last for several years.
"Don't you need to go hunting again from tomorrow?"
"Hmm." Aze placed the last wooden box full of Dolphin Dragon meat on top, and replied, "It will start to snow tomorrow, so it's no longer suitable to go out."
At this time, it has been more than half a month in winter, and the moonless day has passed twice. Chen Qi will record it every month after he comes here. indivual.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, snowflakes began to fall with the strong wind, and with the terrible whistling sound of the wind, Chen Qi fell into an uneasy sleep.
It snowed for a whole week, and the snow piled up to the waist outside the door, but neither of them could go out to clean it. This week, the two of them could only hide at home to enrich the furniture in the house.
Chen Qi found out that the water resistance of gum fruit is actually very good, so he used the method of making a wooden box to make a large bathtub, and built a simple low stove in the bathroom, with a large stone slab on it, and then put the Put the bathtub on it, so that when you need to take a bath, you don’t need to worry about the water temperature getting too cold too quickly. Just light a fire on the simple stove to keep the temperature of the water in the bathtub.
Since the big bathtub was finished, Chen Qi took the most comfortable bath since he came to this world in such a big winter.
The wooden bow I made before has also been finalized. This time it took a long time, and the wooden bow has a good finalizing effect. This time, the re-made wooden arrows used polished bones, mixed the melted gum fruit with plant ash to make glue, glued the bones to the front of the arrow, and glued the arrow feathers after the gum fruit dried out. He said that the wooden bow he made this time looked good, and Chen Qi was very satisfied. It's a pity that it's too windy and snowy outside to try the bow outside.
Chen Qi also remade the wooden bow that Aze found later. The wooden bow had been finalized once before, and the effect of reprocessing was not very good. He spent too much time at home in winter, and Chen Qi also Don't worry, pick it up and play with it when you have time, but be patient and polish it slowly.
A week is not long or short, and the two of them cook all kinds of food every day besides making things. The few porpoise dragons that Aze hunted back made Chen Qi boil oil for several large pottery dishes. Now Chen uses the oil There is no need to save it, and it is cold outside, so I am not afraid that the oil will go bad.
This kind of life is leisurely and comfortable, just like the retired life that Chen Qi had imagined after working overtime countless times until late at night. Chen Qi had the illusion that he and A Ze had become old husbands, um, old husbands who are only in the state of holding hands, even relatives The kind I've never kissed. Chen Qi picked up the snow in front of him to the fence, his gaze passed Aze's beautiful lips not far away, thinking about when he would find a chance to taste it.
The blizzard has stopped this morning, and the snow in the yard is already thick enough to affect our activities. If we don’t clean it up, we may not be able to go out when the snow hardens. So the two got dressed and went on with the work of building the ice wall.
It's just that the snow that they thought had stopped began to fall again in the afternoon, and the work of clearing the snow in the yard had to stop again. Chen Qi made a bowl of ginger tea, asked A Ze to drink half of it, and drank the rest to drive away the cold.
"Aze, will it snow like this all the time in winter?" The continuous drop in temperature is already depressing. If it keeps snowing, then even if you don't want to stay at home this winter, you have to stay at home and wait for the end of winter.
Aze shook his head, "This snow shouldn't last long."
However, the snow continued until late at night, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Chen Qi had already moved his sleeping place to the fire pit outside the hall. During this time, the little wolf cub would only open his eyes when he was eating. Ah Ze used a piece of animal skin to build a small nest for it on the fire pit, and it was sleeping in a ball at the moment. Chen Qi seriously doubted whether creatures like the Giant Wolf God had the habit of hibernating.
After eating and drinking enough to clean up today's work, Chen Qi, who was about to go back to the bed to tease the little wolf cubs, found that A Ze was standing at the door and lifted a corner of the thick animal skin curtain, looking out solemnly .
"Ah Ze, what's the matter?" Chen Qi asked after stopping to climb onto the bed.
Aze turned his head, his frown was full of worry, "I seem to have heard the warning signal from the tribe."
The warning signal in the Yanshan tribe is howling wolves. If it was on weekdays, Aze would not use such ambiguous statements. Now that the sound is blocked by the wind and snow, the sound is not far away, and he is not sure if he heard it wrong.
Chen Qi walked over, and the outside of the house was pitch black, and through the opened curtain, he could only see a small patch of wind and snow nearby, and it was impossible to go to the tribe to check the situation at such a night. He pinched Aze's palm and comforted him: "Don't worry too much, it's probably just a rumor, let's go to the tribe tomorrow morning to see what's going on."
Aze nodded, this was the only way to do it now, just as he was about to go back to the house with Chen Qi, Aze's ear tip moved suddenly, and he said, "Don't come out." He ran out of the fence all at once.
Not long after, Chen Qi saw something in Aze's arms, followed by Carlo with a pale face. Chen Qi rushed up to meet him, took off his cloak and put it on Carlo's body. Carlo's body was very cold, and Chen Qi asked worriedly, "What's the matter? Why are you here at this time, where is Ake?"
Carlo moved his lips and jaws a few times, his eyes were red, and Aze explained for him: "The hyena dragon is attacking. Ake sent Carlo over and returned to the tribe to help. Chen Qi, please help me to see if this kid is still alive." Can't be saved."
It was only then that Chen Qi realized that what Aze was holding in his arms turned out to be a pale child, who looked only seven or eight years old. Chen Qi was taken aback, and quickly said: "It's so cold outside, let's talk inside first."
After entering the house, Aze carefully put the child on the animal skin blanket laid beside the fire. Only then did Chen Qi realize that the child was tightly wrapped by Ake's animal skin cloak. It was all blood.
"His stomach was cut by the hyena dragon. In order to prevent his blood from dripping on the road, Ake had to wrap him in a cloak." Carlo said in a trembling voice.
Chen Qi carefully opened the animal skin coat on the child, and sure enough, he saw a long cut under the fluffy belly button, which was still oozing blood, Chen Qi gasped, "Is this child Little girl? Why is the wound still bleeding after being injured for so long?" You must know that Aze stopped the bleeding by himself not long after he was injured a few times before, and most of the time it was not because of the miraculous hemostatic effect of the herbs he found.
"There is a toxin in the claws and teeth of the hyena dragon, which will make the prey injured by it unable to heal the wound until it loses too much blood and dies." This is also the reason why orcs will die in large numbers when encountering hyena dragons. Half of them were injured by hyena dragons during the battle, but they couldn't stop the bleeding of the wound. They died of excessive blood loss and weakness a few days after the battle.
Chen Qi understood, looked at the child's paler and paler face, and feared that the child would die if the bleeding did not stop, and this was not the time to ask, Chen Qi recalled that he had seen it on TV or in books before. First aid knowledge, began to order: "Carlo, go and boil two pots of clean water, there is still half a plate of hot water, put it on the fire and boil it until it boils, Aze, go and take the small pots you picked back earlier. A portion each of thistle and willow leaves."
Willow leaves have the effect of relieving pain and reducing inflammation. When A Ze went to the forest before, Chen Qi asked him to pick a lot of them and take them home as a backup. He didn't expect to use them so soon.
The two men assigned the task sprang into action. Chen Qi went back to his room and dug out the bone needle. Before the winter came, Aze had hunted many antelopes. Chen Qi left a few sheep intestines, washed them, dried them in the sun and kept them. He never thought about how to use them. At this time, Chen Qi picked out the smallest sheep intestine, and took the ginseng he found by accident before going outside the house.
Chen Qixian put the bone needles into a half-boiling plate of hot water and boiled them for a while, then cut a piece of clean cloth and passed it in the boiling water, then picked it up and simply wiped it around the child's wound, which had solidified into a spot of blood because of blood stains. The clumps of hair, the cloth strips were soon stained red with blood, Chen Qi washed the cloth strips several times before cleaning up the area around the wound.
The child was already in a coma, so naturally he couldn't get the fur back. Chen Qi carefully shaved off the hair around the wound with a sword horn knife.
After shaving, Chen used chopsticks to pick the bone needle out of the boiling water, then put it on the fire to dry, and tied the sheep intestines to the bone needle. Chen Qi planned to sew up the child's wound.
Although Chen Qi did not study medicine, he also knew that such a large wound would not be able to stop the bleeding if it was not stitched. He is very fortunate that the child is in a coma now, if the child is awake and crying because he cannot bear the pain, Chen Qi is afraid that he will not be able to suture the child without anesthesia at all.
Stitching is a delicate job, Carlo and the two can't help much, they can only sit by the side and watch Chen Qi busy with his work nervously.
Chen Qi was worried that the baby would not be able to absorb the gut, so all he did was suture the skin, so that it would be easier to disassemble later. Aze had already prepared Liu Yemo and Xiao Jimo and put them aside for later use, and looked worriedly at Chen Qi who was engrossed.
Except for a muffled grunt when the bone needle pierced the skin for the first time, the child was very quiet and did not struggle. Chen Qi was a little cautious at first, but after a few stitches, he let go, and his movements became quicker.
After the wound was sutured, Chen Qi cleaned up the blood oozing around the wound with cloth strips, and then first applied a layer of willow leaf foam on it, and then put a small thistle on the willow leaf foam, and then tied the wound with a bandage. The bandage was the same shirt bandage that Aze had used before. Chen Qi helped the child change into a cloth shirt, then wrapped it in a clean animal skin, and carefully carried the child to the fire pit.
Chen Qi cut a small piece of ginseng and pressed it under the child's tongue, then cut a few more pieces and put them in a pottery bowl, went outside to find a pork rib of a porpoise dragon, asked A Ze to cut it into a suitable size, and put it in the Fill the pottery bowl with ginseng with water, cover it with another pottery bowl, and stew with a pottery plate.
After everything was done, Chen Qicai let out a long sigh of relief. Seeing the blood stained all over the ground beside the fire, Chen Qi realized belatedly that it was human blood, his stomach twitched, and Chen Qi quickly ran outside the door and vomited all over the ground. Chen Qi's head was full of black lines, he never knew that he would be dizzy, luckily he didn't have this symptom when he was treating the child's wound before.
"Chen Qi, are you okay?" A Ze, who had been paying attention to Chen Qi's direction, chased him out, saw Chen Qi squatting on the ground and vomited, and quickly reached out to stroke his back to help him relax.
Chen Qi raised his head weakly, his face was not sure whether it was cold or pale from exhaustion after a long night of tossing, "No, it may need a kiss from Aze to get better."
Chen Qi just said it casually, intending to make a joke and tell A Ze that it's okay, obviously A Ze didn't realize that he was being molested, before Chen Qi could react, he leaned down and kissed Chen Qi's lips lightly, He asked worriedly, "Are you okay now?"
Chen Qi was stunned for a moment. The first kiss in his fantasy should have happened in a romantic atmosphere, not just after he just vomited and wanted to liven up the atmosphere like now. Qi said with difficulty: "I just vomited."
Aze paused for a moment before realizing what he had just done.
The current environment is not suitable for the two of them to talk about love. Chen Qi went back to the house with Aze after he was relieved. Carlo had already rolled up the blood-stained animal skin blanket and put it aside, and was holding a towel. A wet rag to clean up the blood stains on the ground, he needs to keep himself busy so he can't think about what's going on in the tribe right now.
There were not many hyena dragons who came to attack the tribe, only two of them, and one of them was injured. With the fighting power of the females in the tribe now, they should be able to handle the two hyena dragons.
Chen Qi asked A Ze to cook some ginger soup, and he took two figs and carried a pottery plate of hot water to the bathroom. He couldn't stand the strong smell of blood on his body and needed to wash it off.
When Chen Qi came out after changing into clean clothes, the outside was almost cleaned up, and Carlo was sitting by the fire pit looking at the child who was still in a coma, wondering what he was thinking. Seeing Chen Qi coming out, Ah Ze picked up the bloody animal skins and went into the bathroom to clean them up.
Chen Qisheng handed a bowl of ginger soup to Carlo, "Don't worry too much, the kid will be fine, and Ake will be fine too. You've been tired all night, so drink some ginger soup to warm your body first."
Carlo looked at Chen Qi with red eyes, took the ginger soup, and just took a sip, a warmth poured into his throat, and Carlo couldn't hold back his sobs and burst into tears. Chen Qi panicked, it was the first time he saw a big man crying so sadly in front of him, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he ran into the bathroom in a panic and dragged Aze out.
Seeing Chen Qi's panic-stricken look, Aze thought it was the child's wound that had just stopped bleeding and opened again. When he came out, he found that it was Carlo sitting on the fire pit wiping tears.
After shedding tears for a while, Carlo began to tell the two about the incident that happened.
The people in the Rock Mountain Tribe moved to the foot of the Rock Mountain except for Carlos who still lived in the original tribal center. The two hyena dragons sneaked around to attack behind. There was no warning before, maybe there was an early warning, but There was a blizzard for several days in a row, and there was no sign of the hyena dragon approaching at all.
The only good thing is that the hyena dragon was discovered just as it approached the settlement. Except for the child who hurt A Jing, who is now lying on Chen Qi's fire pit, everyone else safely evacuated into the ancestral house. The injury was too serious, so Azhang asked Ake to bring him to Chen Qi to see if he could be revived, and this is how the current situation appeared.
"You mean that one of the hyena dragons was injured?" Chen Qi pondered for a while and asked, "Is it the eyes and legs?"
"It was too dark at the time, so I just saw it from a distance, and Ake said that one of the hyena dragons was injured."
"Aze, do you think it's the hyena dragon we met on the plain before?" Chen Qi turned his head and asked Aze.
Aze thought for a while, then shook his head, "Let's wait for Ake to come. It's pointless for us to make wild guesses here. You two should be tired after a busy night. Let's get some sleep first."
Chen Qi nodded, and after checking the child's condition, he planned to take a rest on the newly laid blanket by the fire, but Carlo didn't feel sleepy at all, and ran out to check if there was any movement outside the door, for fear it might be Here comes Ake.
In the morning, Chen Qicai fell asleep for a while, and was shaken awake in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he found that Carlo was looking at him anxiously, "Chen Qi, Ake is injured, please get up and help him see .”
Hearing that Ake was injured, Chen Qi's drowsiness was scared away, and he got up quickly, only to see Ake sitting by the fire with a calm face, looking completely uninjured.
Seeing Chen Qi's suspicious gaze, Akela rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, and he had already taken back the animal fur on his arm. There was a palm-sized wound on his bare arm, and blood was still oozing from the wound. Although it looked serious, it was only a scratch on the skin, not deep.
Aze had already smashed a small handful of thistles, holding a piece of steaming wet cloth in his hand, and cleaned up the blood beside Ake's wound, and then applied the small thistles to the other party, and then tied them up. Put on a bandage.
Carlo still looked nervous, "Doesn't this wound need to be stitched?"
"I'm fine, this injury is not serious." Ake patted Carlo's head to appease the other party's panic, and then told everyone about the current situation in the tribe.
The two attacking hyenas were obviously solitary hyenas, or hyenas that had been driven out of the hyena group. They happened to pass by the Yanshan tribe and found that there were only a few orcs here. They planned to try their luck to see if they could hunt a delicious meal. After all, as long as they have a full meal of orcs, the hyena can survive this winter without needing to hunt any more. This is a lot of temptation for the solitary hyena.
Although Azhang led the females to kill one hyena dragon, but let the other one escape. Now all the people in the tribe gather in the ancestral house, and the orcs who can move are taking turns to be on guard, afraid of the other one. The hyena will gather other hyenas to come back and continue the attack.
"Is anyone injured in the tribe?" Chen Qi asked.
Ake shook his head, "Everyone is fine, only I was slightly injured." At that time, the hyena dragon's tail was sweeping towards his stomach, and Ake blocked it with his hand to protect the newly formed bun in his stomach. All of a sudden, he hurt his arm.
Aze had cooked the broth long ago, and the few of them simply ate a bit of the tasteless stew in the broth. With Ake in Aze, they planned to go to the tribe to see the situation. Chen Qi saw After looking at the kid named Ah Jing, seeing that he would not be able to wake up for a while, he planned to follow A Ze to the tribe. Although he might not be able to help, at least he could give a little bit with his advanced knowledge of orcs. suggested. Ace thought about it and agreed.
Before going out, Chen Qi also took the newly made wooden bow with him. Chen Qi used to think that except for some intact houses in the center of the tribe, the other places in the Yanshan tribe were not ordinary dilapidated houses. This time, when he came again, he found that many houses had collapsed, there were signs of fighting in many places, and some houses were unoccupied. Because of the snow cover, almost half of it is buried under the snow.
As soon as Chen Qi and the two approached the tribe, an orc jumped down from a nearby locust tree that had become bare and stopped in front of them. Chen Qi saw that it was A Le.
Seeing that it was Chen Qi and the two of them, Ale said, "Uncle Azhang has taken the clansmen to his home. If you want to find him, don't go to the ancestral house." After talking, Ale climbed back to the locust tree and continued to guard up.
Aze and Chen Qi glanced at each other, then turned and walked towards the center of the tribe.
The houses of Azhang and Ali are not far apart. There are not many people in the tribe, and the females who can still move have been dispersed to guard. The rest of the people are just scattered in the two homes, and they will not feel crowded. .
As soon as Chen Qi and the two arrived nearby, they saw dozens of wooden boxes stacked beside Azhang's house from a distance, which were very similar to the wooden boxes used to store the dragon meat outside Chen Qi's house.
The two entered the room, Azhang was not there, and Ali was cooking barbecue. There were several elderly people and two teenagers in the room. After a whole night of fear, they were already tired and sat by the fire Close your eyes and rest. Seeing Chen Qi Ali was obviously a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
"Let's see if there is anything that needs help." Chen Qi walked over and unloaded the backpack on his shoulders, which contained some wild ginger peppers, small thistles and willow leaves that can stop bleeding. Chen Qi took out a piece of wild ginger and handed it to Ali, "Today's weather is colder than the previous few days. Make some ginger soup and drink it to drive away the cold."
Ali took it gratefully, and used another pottery plate to share some of the boiled broth, washed and chopped the wild ginger, mixed it into the broth and boiled it for a while, and then served it to everyone in the room. bowl.
A Ze said hello to A Li and went out to find A Zhang. Now that something happened in the tribe, he should be able to help as a female.
A Ze found A Zhang near his ancestral house, and the dead hyena dragon body had been thrown into the Chishui River. At this time, A Ze discovered that the reason why the people in the tribe did not stay in the ancestral house was because half of the ancestral house collapsed, and A Zhang and the female named Ah Xu were cleaning out the things in the ancestral house.
The two were obviously a little surprised to see Aze, but they didn't say much, and asked Aze to help together. There were only some temporary firewood and food in the ancestral house, which were all stored in case of emergencies like last night, and they were cleaned up in a short time. Azhang led the two of them to find housing for other people in the tribal center, and helped them move their belongings from the house at the foot of the rocky mountain to their new home.
After this hyena dragon attack incident, everyone also understood that even if their backs are leaning against a rocky mountain, it may not be safe, and it is better for everyone to live closer to them.
Chen Qi had seen the messy state among the houses in the tribe. The defense ability of this kind of house was not high. After seeing that Azhang had settled the tribe, he suggested: "Would you like to try to build a wall?"
Ali was the first to react, "Is it the same ice fence as yours?"
Chen Qi nodded, "As long as the wall is built thicker, even if it's just an ice wall, the defense ability should be good. When it reaches a certain height, you can put some sharpened wood or bamboo pieces on the top, so that even if the Hyena It can also be blocked for a while, so that others have time to evacuate."
A Li naturally agrees with this suggestion, but Azhang is the current patriarch of the Yanshan tribe. He turned to Azhang, wanting to see his opinion.
Azhang looked at Chen Qi thoughtfully, he only said that he would think about the suggestion of the ice fence, but he didn't say that he would do it right away.
The two stayed in the tribe until the evening before returning home. Chen Qi lay on A Ze's shoulders, and the knee-deep snow didn't seem to have any effect on A Ze.
"I will protect you."
Hearing A Ze's nonsensical words, Chen Qi turned his head a little puzzled, he couldn't see A Ze's expression in his current posture. "Ah Ze." Chen Qi gently called the other party's name.
"Yeah." Ace responded.
"Are you afraid?"
Aze paused for a moment and didn't answer.
Chen Qi rested his chin on his shoulder and smiled softly, "We should be considered lovers now, although I am not as strong as you, but I am not as weak as you imagined, so you don't need to be afraid. "
"Um."
"You have seen the power of the wooden bow I made. Although the power I use is not as powerful as yours, it is still useful in times of danger."
"I won't put you in danger." A Ze interrupted Chen Qi's speech.
"Yeah, I know, I'm just hypothesizing." Chen Qing rubbed his head on the back of A Ze's neck to soothe the other party's sudden fury because of his words. "There is also the fence, don't look at it is still very short, when I build it to a height of ten or twenty meters, no matter how strong the jumping ability of the hyena dragon is, it will not be able to jump up, then we will make two thick ones Install the wooden door and close the door, and we will be safe inside."
"Then let's go back now and build the wall."
Chen Qi smiled, reached out and pinched the other party's ear, A Ze turned his head suspiciously, Chen Qi took the opportunity to break the other's head with his hand, looked directly into A Ze's eyes, and said seriously: "A Ze, I mean Although I am not as powerful as your female son, I can figure out how to protect myself and make myself safer, so you can have more confidence in me, don't worry alone, and don't be afraid alone, we are To be a partner, I want to be with you for a long time. I will not let myself have trouble until I grow old with you. I don’t want to be under your wing all the time. If you can protect me, so can I. To protect you, partners should support each other, right?"
A Ze looked at Chen Qi in shock, and Chen Qi patiently waited for the other party to digest his words. After a long time, Ah Ze put Chen Qi down, turned around and hugged him tightly, and buried his head in Chen Qi's shoulder, "Chen Qi, why are you so nice? I will be reluctant to let you go." Even if you fall in love with someone in the future, Females with beautiful stretch marks won't let go either.
Chen Qi patted Aze on the back amusedly, "Why did you let me go? I don't intend to let you go either. Since we are to be partners, we naturally want to be together forever."
"Forever?"
"Um."
Aze didn't speak any more, just hugged Chen Qi and remained motionless. Chen Qi seemed to feel some warm liquid passing by his shoulder, he was stunned, and let Aze hold him.
On the vast wilderness plain, except for a few sparse tall trees, there is only boundless white. The afterglow of the setting sun merged the shadows of the two into one, and the projection was stretched very long on the snow field, which was extremely conspicuous in such a snow field.
It wasn't until half of Sun's body was buried in the horizon that Aze picked up Chen Qi on his back and rushed towards their home. Chen Qi glanced at the end of A Ze's reddened eyes, his heart was soft and messed up, knowing that he was really stuck this time, for A Ze, he might be the one who couldn't let him go.
