Although Chen Qi was asked to name the tribe, Chen Qi didn't have any idea about such things as naming.
When he was sleeping at night, he leaned his body against Ze's body, and inspected the boards full of lines by the firelight, "Aze, what do you think the name of the tribe should be? Nice? Domineering? Tall ?”
Seeing Chen Qi's troubled expression since he came back, Aze smiled lightly, "The tribe hasn't even started building yet, just think about it slowly, it's still early before the end of winter."
"That's what I said, but I always feel like I won't be able to think of a name in the end?"
"Then why don't you get enough energy tonight and think about it tomorrow?"
Chen Qi put the wooden plank away, and took a sip from Aze's lips, "That's right, let's leave such a difficult problem to tomorrow's self."
Not surprised, Ah Jing stuffed the little wolf cub, who had finally showered and dried his hair, into his bed, and fell asleep peacefully.
This time, the snow fell for an unusually long time, and Azhang’s body recovered well. After taking turns guarding with Aze and the others, the snow showed no sign of stopping at all, except for the first few days when the snowflakes were mixed with the strong wind for a few days. Days later, the wind stopped, and only snowflakes kept falling from the sky.
Since the locust dragon group returned to the forest last time, no other dragons in the forest have come out for a while. Those hyena dragons who were ambushing and attacking in the wilderness before have gone to other places for activities. After hunting enough prey for them to survive the winter, they returned to the forest. The orcs did not find any traces of hyena dragons in the wasteland.
The snow field outside the wall is quiet every day, except for the crackling of the fire pan around you, you can never hear any other sounds.
Recently, when Chen Qi has nothing to do, he will start to sort out some textbooks for literacy and teach others new knowledge. Now the orcs gather at Chen Qi's house as soon as they wake up and wash up. Almost three meals a day are gathered together. With the best craftsman Ali and the foodie Carlo here, Chen Qi's cooking is no longer necessary. start hand.
The bamboo slips that Chen Qi made in the past were only reluctant to use after he wrote two slips at the beginning, and now he moved them all out when he started writing teaching materials.
After sorting out some knowledge points that he thought could be taught to beginners, Chen Qi stretched his waist and looked at the snow outside the window. Chen Qi turned to ask Ali who was seriously reviewing the words that A Jing had just taught him. , "Ali, this snow has been falling for more than half a month, will it be summer after it falls?"
A Li withdrew his mind when he heard the words, and shook his head, "No, it's still early before summer, and it should take another two months or so before the last snow falls." The last snow that A Li mentioned of course refers to the continuous The snow that fell for a full month.
Chen Qi was a little disappointed. He brought the pieces of cloth that he painted last night to Ali. These pieces of cloth were used to paint on other things before. Chen used some brown dyed fruit to paint them. Cover all the things, and then repaint the required pattern on it.
The patterns on the cloth are several sets of men's clothing styles suitable for summer. They are all simple T-shirts and slacks. In order to let the orcs understand at a glance, Chen Qi also used dyeing fruit to dye the clothes according to the final product. All the patterns were drawn, and some notes were written beside them in words. With the characters Ali has learned in winter, he can barely understand these notes.
"A Li, can you make some clothes like this?" Chen Qi explained the needs of clothes to A Li with great interest.
Ali looked at it seriously and nodded, "Tomorrow I can try to make a set first."
Chen Qi waved his hand, "These are clothes that can only be worn in summer. You can make them slowly and don't worry. If the clansmen who move here in the future can accept these clothes, you can teach them a class to make clothes, so that those who don't Anyone who knows how to hunt will learn from you, and you will be able to use clothes to exchange food with other people in the future."
Azhang, who was also practicing calligraphy next to him, heard the words and looked over, "Chen Qi, can you explain in detail your plan to let the people of the tribe learn to make clothes?" He felt that Chen Qi didn't simply want the people of the tribe to learn how to make clothes. , but with a deeper plan.
Chen Qi nodded with a smile, and began to talk about his plan with Azhang.
The orcs didn't talk about trading, but if they had to talk about trading, there was only an annual gathering, and that was just a bartering activity to be able to survive the winter smoothly.
Chen Qi didn't want to change the way of life of the orcs all at once, but according to his plan, the overly primitive way of life of the orcs was not suitable for him. If he wanted to change the current living conditions of the orcs, he must Bring in the set of your previous world, and in the case of meeting the needs of survival, the emergence of transactions is indispensable.
What's more, more than half of the clansmen he knows who will move here have no way to hunt, and Chen Qi doesn't want their existence to just increase the burden on those normal females. He wanted those people to know that even if they were disabled, they could support themselves by themselves.
Azhang listened with gusto, the more he listened, the brighter his eyes looked at Chen Qi, he had the idea that summer would come tomorrow, he wanted to build the tribe as soon as possible to see if what Chen Qi said could be realized.
"This kind of thing has to be done step by step." Chen Qi didn't explain too deeply to Azhang, but just talked about what the tribe can do at present. After all, food needs to be eaten bite by bite. A big fat man can be eaten out.
Azhang nodded understandingly. He has been the patriarch for so many years. Although he has not managed many people, he still has a lot of things. Even though he has not fully understood what Chen Qi said, he still knows that things need to be done step by step. Do it slowly.
"Chen Qi." Azhang hesitated for a while, but still raised his own thoughts, "Do you want to be the new patriarch of this tribe?"
Chen Qi looked at him in astonishment. Didn't he refuse this question early on? "You did a good job, why did you propose to let me take over?"
Azhang scratched the back of his head, "Isn't it because you know more about the reconstruction of the tribe? You are the one who thinks about everything, and I can't help you. It's not appropriate to be a patriarch in vain."
Chen Qi straightened his body and looked around at the people who were all looking at him, "I said before that I'm not suitable to be the clan leader. Maybe I can make plans in the early stage of the tribe's construction, but the clan leader needs to After the tribe is built and continues to manage the tribe, he needs to be responsible for the tribesmen inside, and also needs to be able to communicate with the tribe leaders of each tribe."
Chen Qi looked directly at Azhang, "I can't do these things, I can help you build this tribe better together, but I don't understand many things in the tribe, they are willing to just listen to my one-sided words. Are they willing to come and settle in this wilderness where there is nothing? Will they try to eat fish they dare not touch? Are they willing to take off the animal skin clothes they have always worn and replace them with cloth clothes that only young children would wear? No, If it was just me telling them, they probably wouldn’t. The people of the tribe know you and trust you. Only you can let them come to the new tribe, accept the things in the new tribe, and be willing to learn something that may be temporary for them. There is no way to see the knowledge of results. Therefore, only you can be the patriarch."
"I just said that Chen Qi didn't want to accept it." After hearing Chen Qi's long words, A Li poked A Zhang who was still unable to recover.
Azhang sighed, "Since you don't want to be the patriarch, just ask me if you have any needs in the future." Although Azhang still thinks that Chen Qicai is the most suitable candidate to be the patriarch, Chen Qi doesn't want him It won't be forced, as long as Chen Qi will continue to build the tribe.
After listening to Chen Qi's plan in the past few days, Azhang is full of confidence in bringing the Yanshan tribe out of the previous predicament. He does not hope that his tribe will have to go to other tribes to spend the winter next year. The patriarch, and the incompetence of the female children in the clan.
"Of course." Chen Qi smiled. With a patriarch who fully supports him, he can let go and carry out his plan. Even if there is no way to catch up with the progress of civilization in his own world, he is very happy to catch up to the same level as Tang and Song Dynasties. Satisfied.
Chen Qi looked at A Ze who was sitting next to him, and said to A Zhang: "Didn't you give me the name of the tribe before? Then I will be more selfish and take over the name." I don't have any clue about the name, but now I have some ideas.
Azhang nodded, "No matter what name you choose, I agree."
"Chen Qi, did you think of a name?" Carlo asked.
Chen Qi smiled mysteriously at him, but did not reply.
Azhang would come to Chen Qi's house on time every day to discuss some details of the new tribe's construction with him, and sometimes Ake would come over to give some advice, but Aze seemed to have little interest in the new tribe.
The next day, Ali made a set of clothing sketches drawn by Chen Qi. Chen Qi taught him how to dye the clothes with dyed fruit, and draw some simple patterns on the clothes, although it looked a bit nondescript in the eyes of the orcs. Yes, but in Chen Qi's view, it is simple and fashionable.
Seeing Carlo looking at the dyed T-shirts hanging aside to dry with distaste, Chen Qi felt that it was necessary for him to cultivate aesthetics for the orcs. Otherwise, my aesthetics will be distorted by them in the future, and there will be nowhere to cry.
Chen Qi thought that the snow would stop in a few days at most, but it turned out that it had been snowing for almost two weeks and there was still no sign of stopping. The height of the fence has been increased by half a meter due to the accumulation of snow in the yard.
"Why hasn't the snow stopped?" This is the sentence that Chen Qi chanted the most during this time. Because of the snow, Chen Qi had to stop his original jogging and archery activities, and now he can only stay at home every day Doing push-ups and jumping rope, Chen Qi felt that the two abdominal muscles he had worked so hard to train were about to disappear, which made him worry.
"I'm afraid that the snow will fall until summer." Aze said softly, looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window.
