"I don't want to build any ice walls anymore!" Looking at the messy hall, this was Chen Qi's first thought at the moment.
Fortunately, the doors of other rooms were closed, and the water did not flush the doors open, and the water seeping through the cracks in the doors was not enough to flood the entire room. There are wooden shelves in the storage room. Chen Qi, such as salt and bacon, are placed on the wooden shelves and packed in wooden boxes, but they have not been wet.
The room in front of Ali’s house that was half collapsed by the hyena dragon collapsed completely after being hit by the water this time. Azhang also smiled and said that it would save them the effort to tear it down again, but Ali angrily said nothing At a glance, let him clean up all the gravel scattered around the house by himself.
Ake closed the door before leaving with Carlo on his back, and stuck the wooden door with wood. The water flow could not break through the wooden door, but the loss was the least, as long as the water seeping into the room was mopped up.
Chen Qi asked Aze to set up a few hangers outside the yard, and sighed while carrying the soaked animal skins out to dry. He was thinking about building an ice cellar, and storing some ice in the winter for the hot summer. , Judging from the speed at which even an ice wall several meters wide can melt in an instant, it seems that building an ice cellar here is a very unrealistic thing. If you want to have ice in summer, you have to think of another way.
There are still two large boxes of raw meat for the winter. Without ice, Chen Qi is worried that the meat will go bad. Before the temperature change is so obvious, he first uses half of it to make marinated meat, and the other half to make various cooked food directly. , intended to be used as dry food on the road when picking up the tribe, and several people worked so hard until the evening to finish processing the pile of food.
The kang was wet because it had been soaked in water, so Chen Qi tidied up the slate bed in his and Aze's room that hadn't been used for more than half a year, and threw Ajing and the little wolf cub into Aze's room to let them Sleeping alone, he took Aze back to his room, and the two finally had a chance to be alone at night.
"Sorry." After working all day, Aze drooped his head. If he could close the door carefully like Ake when he went out in the morning, then the water would not rush into the room. Things will not be soaked in water.
Chen Qi brushed aside a strand of bangs in front of his forehead with a smile, "You never thought that the wall would melt suddenly, right? It's already great to be able to take us away immediately, why do you have to apologize?"
After finishing speaking, he sighed helplessly, "You, don't take things on yourself as soon as you have something. It's been a busy day today, so go to bed early. Tomorrow, Azhang and Ake will go to the lion and wolf tribe to pick up the clansmen. Come back." Chen Qi said with emotion: "I really didn't expect summer to come so unexpectedly. But this is good, at least there will be no more danger on the plain."
Dragons will not appear on the plains in summer, even hyena dragons will return to the center of the forest, and there will only be some herbivorous dragons staying in the outskirts of the forest, which are also the source of food for the orcs throughout the summer.
Early the next morning, Azhang and Ake set off with animal skin backpacks full of food. After packing up the house, Chen Qi was free to check the situation in the yard.
Before Chen Qi piled up the charcoal ashes from the whole winter in one place at the back of the house. He originally planned to open a few plots of land to improve the soil quality when summer came, but the charcoal ashes were washed away by the water and scattered all over the place. In the nearby grassland, there was only a small pile of charcoal ashes left, and Chen Qi used a bone shovel to gather the small pile of charcoal ash together.
Before the tribesmen came, Chen Qixian circled the approximate location of the tribe. The weeds on the plain probably grew rapidly due to the warming temperature. For the scope of the area, he originally considered diverting the water from the Chishui River to build a moat or something, but after the last Crocodile incident, this plan was directly rejected by him. He only hoped to try it around. Get one or two wells to come out, at least you don't need to run so far every time you fetch water.
The yard shared by the three families in winter is naturally unusable now. Chen Qi only circled the area needed for his and Aze’s original house, and asked Aze to go to the tribe and move some stone slabs back, and re-enclosed a It was a small yard, and then built a fence that was only about half a meter high. Chen Qi dug up the pectin that was originally spread on the ground, opened a few plots in the corner of the yard, and sprinkled a thin layer of charcoal ash on it, Then turn the charcoal ashes under the soil. I haven't found anything that needs to be planted yet, so I put it like this first.
Carlo looked at the house separated by the wall, and muttered a little dissatisfied, "Why did you separate our house? I will have to go around a lot to find you in the future."
Chen Qi smiled and explained to him, "I plan to grow something in the yard. If there is no fence, it will be bad if some animals come in or children come in and step on it."
The orcs don't have the awareness of planting. I'm afraid it's not just children. If adults come to his house, they will step on the ground and pass by. With the fence blocking them, they can only come in according to the road they deliberately set aside, which can save a lot of trouble .
Carlo didn't say much. Anyway, his house is next door. When Ake came back, he would have to tear down the house and rebuild it. He could just build a fence, and it would take a detour for Chen Qi to come to his house.
Chen Qi built the wall for another reason, to make the new tribe look tidier. Thinking that each family is a small single-family house with a small yard, it's like returning to modern society. Not only did he do this himself, he also planned to make other people in the tribe do the same.
A main road leads directly from Chen Qi’s house to the main gate of the city wall. The school is next door to Chen Qi’s house, just opposite Carlo’s house. The school occupies a large area. To save it, summer is here, and Chen Qi wants to put his sports events back on the agenda.
A Zhang and the others came back a week later. There were about thirty people who came back together. There were a few faces that Chen Qi had never seen before. A Ze said that they were people who had moved to the lion wolf tribe before.
The male son of the lion-wolf tribe that Ale wanted to abduct back was still not abducted, and he felt a little sleepy along the way.
Azhang introduced the situation to a few people and they became acquainted. Carlo and Ali moved to Chen Qi's house. Aze's original house had been emptied out. In addition, two rooms in Carlo's house and Ali's house It's not a problem to accommodate thirty people, and Ah Xu and Chen Qi, who are still acquainted with each other, live in the lobby of Chen Qi's house.
Because Chen Qi took other people to complete the planning of the house a few days ago, now as long as other people choose a place to live, they can directly move the materials back and start construction.
Except for a few blood relatives who wanted to live together, everyone else built a house. Naturally, the house they built was not as big as Chen Qi's house, but they all built three bedrooms and one house according to Chen Qi's standard. The hall, the so-called three rooms, are actually just two rooms. Centered on the hall, the two rooms face each other, and one of them is separated by a wall as a storage room and a washroom.
Chen Qijian dug several large pits next to the ditch where the sewage was piled up before. According to the previous method, the domestic sewage of every family in the tribe would be discharged into these large pits, so as to prevent the orcs from dumping everywhere and make the tribe dirty. , can also be used as compost, and can be used to improve the land for planting in the future. Moreover, this place was planned by Chen Qi to be outside the city, and it was also some distance away from the tribe, so there was no need to worry that the smell would waft into the tribe.
The busy construction work lasted for more than a month, and the weeds on the plain have grown knee-high, and the tall acacia trees around have regrown their leaves, and now they have become lush and lush.
Most of the people in the tribe have already started to return to their new homes. Carlo and Azhang built a big house with one hall and four rooms just like Chen Qi’s house. The three houses are exactly the same in shape and size, and they look quite spectacular from a distance. of.
During this period of time, he was busy with getting the houses ready. Of course, the roads and city walls in the tribe hadn't been built yet, but Chen Qi was still a little dazed looking at the gray and white slate houses.
"Chen Qi, we really dug the water." Carlo's excited voice brought back Chen Qi's thoughts, and Chen Qi hurriedly walked over to a place within the school, where the weeds grew longer than others. The place is lush and the soil is a little more humid than other places. Chen Qi just tried it, but he didn't expect that water would come out after digging less than two meters.
With this well, at least there is no need to go all the way to the Chishui River to fetch water.
In the past few days, the source of food in the tribe is to catch a few fish in the river while fetching water. Now almost all the people in the tribe use fish as food. Ali often goes to everyone’s home to teach them some simple food. way of doing.
More than a month after the beginning of summer, Azhang finally decided to temporarily put aside the construction task for a day, planning to organize a few females to go hunting in the forest.
Because of the disappearance of the Hypophagosaurus, the only large herbivorous dragons that can be hunted in the forest are Antelopesaurus and Ceratosaurus. There is also a dragon that looks like a rabbit and a wild boar called Tusaurus. They are similar to hares. As fast as it is good at punching holes, it is not easy to catch them.
During this period of time, Azhang will teach a few females how to use bows and arrows whenever he is free. Tulong is very timid. Once frightened or blocked, he will freeze in place. The lethality of bows and arrows may not be able to counteract them. It is fatal, but it is still very useful to scare such a timid creature. Although the rabbit dragon is not as huge as those dragons that are two or three meters high when moving, it is also as big as an ordinary wild boar. As long as you can catch a few It is only enough for the people in the tribe to eat for a while.
A Ze did not go hunting with A Zhang and the others, but helped Chen Qi build an earthen kiln next to the school. It was for A Li to try to burn mud bricks. If you want to build a city wall, it is obviously not enough to use all stone slabs Yes, there is a lack of large stones on the plain, and a city wall needs to be built at least six or seven meters to stop those huge dragons. Naturally, such a large project needs to be replaced by a different material. The first thing Chen Qi thought of It is brick.
The orcs already had the technology of firing pottery, and it couldn't be easier to fire mud bricks.
