When A Ze came home, Chen Qi was sitting by the fire and studying the blue fruit. The skin of the fruit was very thick. Chen Qi broke the skin a few times and gave up after a while. Aze came in carrying a small antelope that had been processed, "Are you back?"
"Well, I'm back." Aze put down his things, walked to the door, fixed it with wood like the curtain just now, and opened a hole.
Chen Qi coughed lightly, pulled the pack of animal skins brought back by A Ze, opened it, and exclaimed: "So many apples." Counting them, there are as many as fifteen, each of which is the size of a fist. It's bright red, and it's really beautiful.
"apple?"
"Um, that's the name of my family. You guys call it red berry, right?" Chen Qi remembered that Aze had mentioned the name of this fruit when he first gave him the fruit.
"Apple is a nice name." Aze brought the little antelope to the fire. There was a rack that had been set up on the fire. All he had to do was skewer the little antelope on a wooden stick and roast it.
Chen Qi picked up an apple and wiped it carelessly with his sleeve, took a bite, a sweet and greasy juice filled his mouth instantly, but the taste was very different from an apple, it would be more appropriate to say it was a persimmon, Chen Qi After making a silent comment, he shook the blue fruit with a thick skin in his hand, and asked, "Ah Ze, what kind of fruit is this? The skin is so thick that I can't even break it open."
"This is a green fruit, we all eat it with the skin on."
Chen Qi frowned and looked, is this skin edible? Some fight with the grapefruit peel, it is not delicious at first glance, "Aze, can you cut this fruit for me?"
Aze thought for a while, but he didn't take it. Instead, he put the little antelope in his hand on the fire and turned to go to the stone bed. There was a layer of animal skin on the stone bed. Aze groped in the animal skin. , came back with a white bone-like thing in his hand, and handed it to Chen Qi, "Here you are."
"what is this?"
Aze pursed his lips, with a showy look in his brows and eyes, "I caught the sword horn of the Stegosaurus alone when I was an adult, although it was only a juvenile Stegosaurus."
The strength of stegosaurus is higher than that of hyena dragon. They are huge in size. Adult stegosaurus can grow to ten times the size of adult male elephant. They are covered with a layer of long hair, which looks a bit like a mammoth in ancient times. Elephant, but the nose is shorter and thicker, with long and sharp sword horns growing on the nose. The adult stegosaurus is about three to four meters long. Their spines are very straight and can hardly be bent, which also makes them move slowly and attack single-handedly. .
The reason why Stegosaurus did not become a more formidable threat than Hyenasaurus is not only because they are vegetarian species, but also because Stegosaurus does not live in groups like Hyenasaurus. Stegosaurus will live alone after adulthood. They have a strong sense of territory, and it is almost impossible for a second Stegosaurus to appear in a territory.
Chen Qi took the sword horn curiously, the sword horn was not big, only half as thick as a little finger, and the width was not as long as the palm, but it looked like the blade of a fruit knife, and it felt cold to the touch. Chen Qi carefully held the two ends of the sword horn, put the green fruit on the ground, cut along the middle of the fruit with the sword horn, and cut the fruit in half without much effort, Chen Qi couldn't help exclaiming: "It's so sharp." It's almost like a knife.
Aze warned, "The sword horn is too sharp, and it is easy to hurt yourself if you are not careful. When you use it, Chen Qi, remember to wrap it in animal skin, and don't hold it directly with your hands."
"It's okay, just make a knife handle." Chen Qi couldn't help flicking his fingers, and the corner of the sword made a crisp sound. There won't be metal in this thing, right? Thinking of making a knife handle, Chen Qi turned his head and asked Aze, "Aze, do you have turpentine here, or something that is very sticky."
"Very sticky stuff?" Aze tilted his head and thought for a while, "Did you mean the fruit of the gum tree?"
"Gum tree? Do you have gum here?"
"Yes, the fruit of the gum tree will become very sticky as long as it is boiled. Our house is built with boiled gum mixed with soil and rock slabs."
Chen Qi opened his mouth in surprise, and ran to the wall to feel it. The joint was very hard, as if it was made of cement. Is the glue so highly bonded? Nature is amazing, don't many things in my own world appear here in other forms? Thinking of this, Chen Qi couldn't help but his eyes lit up. As long as he made good use of it, even primitive society wouldn't need to live like a savage. "Aze, Aze, can you get that jelly fruit?"
Aze doesn't quite understand why Chen Qi is so excited when he hears the gum fruit, "There is a gum tree not far from here, my house is built with the gum fruit from that tree, as long as the fruit of the gum tree is not picked It can grow for more than ten years, let’s eat something and rest today, and I will pick it tomorrow.”
The venison at noon was cold and hard, Chen Qi felt tired after eating a little bit, so he didn't eat much, this time he smelled the aroma of roast meat, his stomach rumbled twice in good time, and he withdrew his excitement, Chen Qi was careful He calmly put the corner of the sword aside, picked up the fruit that had been cut open, and there were many kernels the size of soybeans embedded in the flesh, he licked it, frowning sourly.
Aze cut up the antelope meat with almost roasted skin and handed it to him, "This kind of green fruit is very sour and unpalatable. Unless we are really hungry, we won't eat it. Throw it away. Don't eat any more."
Chen Qi took a piece of mutton and threw it into his mouth and chewed it to get rid of the sour taste. The mutton was roasted just right, but he couldn't get used to the bitterness of adding salt stones, which completely destroyed the taste of the mutton, and he still had a few days of eating. It's a bit boring to eat barbecue. Hit it, hit it with your mouth, and looked at the half of the green fruit. Although the taste is very sour, it always feels like lemon. After thinking about it, squeeze out a little juice and drip it on the barbecue.
Putting a piece of mutton soaked in fruit juice into his mouth, Chen Qi's eyes lit up. The sour taste of the juice melted into the meat, which easily covered up the bitterness of the salt stone, and it didn't feel greasy after eating. He picked up another piece and handed it to the meat Aze said, "Aze, try it."
Aze looked at him strangely, opened his mouth to swallow the meat around his lips, Chen Qi asked expectantly: "How is it?"
Seeing Chen Qi's expression, Aze subconsciously slowed down his chewing speed, until Chen Qi's eyes showed a little anxiety before he smiled and commented slowly: "It's much more delicious than just applying salt stone."
Chen Qi heaved a sigh of relief, it seems that the taste of the orcs is similar to his own, these days, watching A Ze just eat the bitter roast meat coated with salt stones can taste so delicious, he wondered if his taste is the same as that of the orcs It's different, "Of course you need to add seasoning to barbecue, the salt stone has too many impurities." Chen Qile happily handed the other half of the green fruit to Ze, and asked him to squeeze and eat it by himself.
A Ze took it, squeezed the juice onto the antelope that was roasting, and while Chen Qi was eating hard, he quietly cut up the antelope meat coated with juice and put it in the cattail leaf that was holding the meat in his hand.
The two of them ate and drank enough, Chen Qi originally wanted to have a hasty sleep by the fire, but Aze was unwilling, so he dragged Chen Qi to press him on the only stone bed, and went back to the fire to lay the bed. Zhang animal skin lay on it.
Chen Qiao However, sleeping on the tree for the first two nights was really not a good experience, I kept worrying about it, and my whole body was sore after waking up, and now I really feel tired, so I will not be polite to Aze, let's roll up my coat The group bar was used as a pillow and had a good night's sleep.
When Chen Qi opened his eyes the next day, what he saw was a pitch-black ceiling. It was really pitch-black, not because of the dim light. When he looked closely, he realized that it was because the fire was blackened by the smoke inside the house. Mark of. Chen Qi was full of black lines, as expected, lighting a fire in a house was not a scientific act.
A Ze was not in the house, the ceiling of the room was too low, it made people feel depressed after staying for a long time, the door curtain was still half open last night, the sunlight came in through the opening, brightly illuminating the room.
Open the door curtain and go out, what you see is a wilderness, you read it right, it is a wilderness, surrounded by semi-dry weeds, not much different from what I saw on the plain before, not far away there is a tree The tall trees with a radius of nearly one meter were covered with banana-like leaves, or fruits. Chen Qi was not very good at distinguishing the leaves and fruits of figs.
After walking a few steps outside, Chen Qicai found that Aze’s house was quite long, and it was too dark to see clearly last night. Now that he walked around the back, he found that there was another room. Why is the door of the back room opposite to the front room? direction open? Isn't it more convenient to lean against each other? Now going to another room is a long walk around the house.
Chen Qi opened the door curtain and went in, and found that it was a utility room, half of the room was piled up with chopped firewood alone, and some animal skins, pottery plates and pots were piled up messily in other spaces, and the door was placed A wrapped animal skin looks familiar. It seems to be the one that Aze carried into the room at the beginning of last night. Chen Qi squatted down curiously and opened it. A few shriveled fruits of unknown species rolled out of it. . Chen Qi smiled helplessly, wrapped the animal skin again and put it back in place.
As soon as he returned to the front door, he saw Aze running back from a distance carrying two pheasants, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, seeing Chen Qi habitually smiling, "Are you awake?"
"Well, you went hunting so early."
"Ake originally asked me to go hunting on the plains this morning. I promised you to pick gum fruits today, and I will take you to the tribe later." Aze paused, "If you want to live in the tribe, I can Help you find a better empty house."
Chen Qi didn't answer. He didn't want to live in Aze's house. If he wanted to live here, he would have to build a new one, but he didn't mind going to the tribe to see the situation before making a decision.
