Because of the locust dragon swarm incident before, now Azhang needs to go up to the fence to be vigilant from time to time, and A Li is making clothes for the little girl. The design of the clothes was given to him by Chen Qi early in the morning, and no one has considered it before. To make clothes for the newborn child, Chen Qi saw the child was balled up in animal skin yesterday, and his hands and feet were wrapped up, so he was afraid that he would be bored and uncomfortable, so he suggested that Ali make two sets suitable for children. of.
Ake is very lethargic now after eating full, just after giving birth, only eating and falling asleep is the most effective way for females to recover their physical strength as soon as possible. The job of taking care of the baby naturally fell to Carlo, the prospective baby daddy. The child is not hungry, and he doesn’t eat much. Every once in a while, as long as he hits his mouth, Carlo will feed him the warm milk. Children eat, but he is the busiest one. Fortunately, the little girl is very quiet, she doesn't make any noise, and she will sleep obediently as long as she is full, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
Every day after taking care of the little wolf cub's food, Ah Jing would review the homework that Chen Qi taught before. These days, Chen Qi was busy with the wedding and didn't have time to teach him new things, so Ah Jing copied the mermaid story over and over again. Again, let alone, even though he is the youngest, after such boring practice, his handwriting is now even better than Chen Qi's. Chen Qi has to admit that he really has no talent in calligraphy.
Ah Jing would sometimes hold the gum leaf with the mermaid story on it and read it word by word to the little wolf cub in his arms, but the little wolf cub who usually ran around suddenly would become abnormal at this time. Be quiet, the small eyes will move up and down following the words that Ah Jing pointed to, and I don't know if it can understand or not.
Chen Qi put a piece of dolphin dragon meat and a rope made by kneading roots into the backpack. The bone spurs that were ready to be used as fishhooks had already been tied to the rope. Ali was a little worried, "Will it be unsafe to go out now?"
"It's okay, we're not going to the forest." Chen Qi put the backpack on his shoulder and explained.
"There will be nothing wrong with Aze." Azhang also comforted him. Originally, he was also very interested to see what Chen Qi said about fishing, but the only female in the family who still has fighting power is He was alone, so he could only give up the idea of following with a little regret, and planned to let Chen Qi demonstrate again after Ake recovered.
Ali thought for a while that Chen Qi was only going to Chishui River, which was not a dangerous place, so he didn't stop him. However, he still didn't agree with Chen Qi's going fishing. The fish couldn't be eaten, and it was freezing cold, so why bother to waste effort
Chen Qi put on a long cloak and pulled up the hat on the cloak. The hat was so big that it almost covered his eyes. He was afraid that the wind outside would blow his face apart. Chen Qi also made an animal skin mask that could cover his entire face. They were all tightly covered, a white fluffy animal skin scarf was wrapped around the neck, and animal skin gloves were worn on the hands. Only the eyes were exposed from the whole body.
A Ze turned into a beast with fur. His own fur is much warmer than those animal skins. Naturally, he doesn't need to be armed from head to toe like Chen Qi, but because he insists on not turning into a beast from the neck up, Chen Qi made it for him. A fur hat and a fur mask like him.
After saying hello to the others, Chen Qi climbed onto Aze's back. There were several wooden ladders leading to the top inside the wall. Every time it snowed, Aze would clear the snow off the wooden ladders first, so as not to Snow becomes slippery when it freezes.
Aze climbed up neatly, the fence was blown flat by the wind, and some snowflakes that hadn't had time to freeze were left by Aze with footprints of different shades. To go down, you just need to climb directly on those sharpened wooden stakes That's enough, because the wooden stakes are uneven, Aze was worried that he would hurt Chen Qi, so it took a lot of effort when he went down.
The speed of Aze going to Chishui River is not much slower than that before the winter. The river has already formed a thick layer of ice. Looking around, you can only see the white snow field. If you don’t know that there used to be a big river here, with the current It doesn't look like it at all.
"It's here." Aze put Chen Qi down, the snow was deep under his feet, and Chen Qi was knee-deep in the snow as soon as he landed.
Chen Qi turned around along the Chishui River, then bent down and stopped at the center of the river, scraped away the snow under his feet, and found a thick layer of ice underneath, "Ah Ze, can you get rid of this ice?" Is it broken?"
Aze nodded, the ten-fingered beast formed sharp nails, and drew a deep scratch on the place circled by Chen Qi. His right hand was clenched into a fist, and the ice cubes sunk in the circled place when he punched down , and then shattered, Aze punched down again, and the ice cube began to sink into the water, revealing the icy river below in a moment.
"The water is very cold, don't touch it with your hands." Aze warned.
"I see." Chen Qi nodded, unloaded the backpack, and said to Aze while taking out the contents: "Aze, can you help me find some smaller stones and some branches? ? The branches don’t need to be too thick, you can bring back a little more.”
There are many tall acacia trees near the Chishui River. Even if all the leaves have fallen, it is still more than enough to break off a few branches. After all, the riverside of Chishui River is still some distance away from the center. Aze checked the surrounding situation, and after confirming that there were no other threats, he went nearby to find what Chen Qi needed. Still keeping an eye on Chen Qi's situation.
Chen Qi took out the rope that hung the fishhooks. These bony hooks were made from broken bones of antelope dragons. Chen Qi had seen fish in the Chishui River before, and the smallest ones were probably four or fifty in size. Therefore, in order to allow the rope and hook to bear enough weight, they are made larger than ordinary fishing tackle.
The pterosaur meat used as bait was a bit stiff from the cold. Chen used a sword horn knife to cut off a piece and hook it on the hook. A rope was tied with three bone spurs at different lengths, which corresponded to fish at different depths. In order to increase the success rate of fishing.
Aze left and came back very quickly, he handed a few fist-sized stones to Chen Qi, and a large bundle of branches of different thicknesses piled up to his feet. The stone had been buried under the snow for too long, and it was still damp when dug out. Chen Qi tied the stone to the end of the rope, and then found a thick wooden stick that was wide enough to span the width of the dug out ice hole and tied it to the other end. one end.
Chen Qi threw the tied stone into the ice cave, and the stone quickly sank to the bottom of the water with the hook on which the bait was hung. Chen Qi stuck the wooden stick at the other end of the rope at the entrance of the ice cave, and was about to stuff it with some branches. The ice hole prevents the water surface from freezing again. Before he could make a move, the wooden stick at the entrance of the ice cave suddenly moved. Chen Qi was overjoyed, thinking that it has been more than two months of winter, and these fish are already hungry? Hooked so fast.
Chen Qigang wanted to bend down to pick up the wooden stick to see what he caught, but Aze suddenly stepped forward, hugged Chen Qi into his arms, rolled on the spot while holding Chen Qi, and walked away. The mouth of the ice cave. At the same time, the wooden stick at the entrance of the ice cave made a crisp "snap" sound, and then broke in response. The snow at the entrance of the ice cave was cleaned by Aze before, and now it can be clearly seen that there are many cracks on it. The crack was getting bigger and bigger, and it didn't take long before it began to shatter and fall into the water under the ice. A huge brown figure suddenly rushed out of the water and landed firmly in the nearby snow.
Almost all of this happened in the blink of an eye, and when Chen Qi came back to his senses, Aze had already fought with the giant beast that jumped out of the water.
The giant beast was covered with hard scales, and its tail was very long. In order not to drag Chen Qi into the battle circle, Aze could only lead the giant beast away, but he didn't dare to go too far, for fear that there would be more people under the water. Will lie in ambush at the other end, "Chen Qi, stay away from the water." Aze said to Chen Qi while dealing with the giant beast.
Chen Qi nodded, held the sword horn knife in his hand, and leaned against the river bank. When Aze was distracted and talking, the giant beast's long tail took the opportunity to wrap around Aze's right hand. Aze struggled a bit and was almost toppled to the ground by the giant beast. The entangled tail, one force, the giant beast was thrown over the shoulder by Aze and fell to the ground, the white and tender belly was exposed in Aze's attack range, Aze no longer hesitated, he swooped, and his sharp claws cut into the giant beast There was a long gash in the belly, and the bright red blood quickly dyed the snow red.
"Aze, are you okay?" Seeing the giant beast lying on the ground and not moving, Chen Qi dared to go up to check on Aze's situation. He saw that there was some blood on Aze's nails and some snowflakes on his fur coat. There was no trauma, Chen Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and only then began to pay attention to the culprit.
"This is an immature crocodile dragon." Seeing the doubts on Chen Qi's face, Aze explained.
This crocodile is not big, but its tail is more than one meter long. It looks a bit like a crocodile, with a flat stomach, and it looks like it has been hungry for a long time. Creatures such as crocodile dragons generally live near the Sanchen River. Even though the Chishui River is a tributary of the Sanchen River, crocodile dragons have never been found in the Chishui River. If there were crocodile dragons, the Yanshan tribe would not choose Settled near the Chishui River. After all, the crocodile is a killer in the water, and the bite force of an adult crocodile is almost comparable to that of a stegosaurus.
"It's probably attracted by the smell of the dragon meat." Ze was a little annoyed. The dragon is the food source of all carnivorous dragons. When Chen Qi wants to make bait, he should be reminded not to use dragon meat. baited.
"Sorry." Chen Qi apologized, and was a little puzzled, "Is the meat of all dragons attractive to other meat-eating dragons? Will warty pork and hare meat also attract crocodile dragons?"
Aze shook his head, "Dragons are only interested in the food of the same dragons, they don't eat the creatures on the Dora Plain." Aze pointed to the crocodile underground, "This crocodile should be The ones that get lost here usually feed on the ichthyosaurs in the Sanchen River, and there are many kinds of fish in the Chishui River, but it is still about to starve to death, which is enough to prove that the fish can't solve its hunger."
Chen Qi understood, it seems that there is no way to fish with dragon meat today, but I don't know if the fish will be interested in taking a bite of the marinated meat at home? Thinking of returning empty-handed today, Chen Qi was a little frustrated, looking at the dead crocodile, "Aze, is the meat of this crocodile edible?"
