In the third month of summer, the construction of the tribe was finally completed. The city wall was more than seven meters high and about three meters wide. The base of the city was built with stones and thick stone slabs, and the upper part was made of reddish-brown mud bricks. .
There is a path paved with mud bricks in front of each house in the tribe, leading to the main road, which leads directly to the gate of the city, where there are two tall fig trees, which are very conspicuous.
Chen Qi painted two large curtains on both sides of the city wall with the white dyed fruit he found, and wrote a thousand-character script on one side. Of course, because Chen Qi had forgotten most of them, there were only a few hundred characters on it, but at any rate They are all without repetition, and Chen Qi even deliberately sorted them in order of level and level, so that they are easy to remember when they are read, and will not hinder their ability to recognize characters. The multiplication formula is written on the other side. After this period of study, the best people in the tribe can only learn the number twenty. Now the multiplication formula is only understood by A Ze and A Jing. Chen Qi opened a small fire.
After installing the four city gates, Azhang excitedly ran to find Chen Qi. The other party said that the tribe would be named after it was completed, but now that it was finally finished, he couldn't wait.
"Zecheng?" As soon as Azhang entered the yard, he heard Aze's exclamation, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Qizheng sitting at the wooden table in the yard writing something, and Aze stood beside him with a surprised face.
"Chen Qi, have you decided on a name for our tribe?" Azhang asked loudly before he arrived.
Chen Qi followed the voice and saw that Azhang had strode up to the two of them. He put down his pen with a smile, and handed the paper on which he had written on his hand to the other party, "Think it over, I want to use this name."
"No." Seeing that A Zhang took the paper, A Ze quickly objected.
Azhang looked at him suspiciously, then looked down at the paper in his hand, on which were written horizontally and vertically with black fruit dye, "Zecheng?" Azhe's name
Chen Qi touched his nose a little shyly. In fact, he had already thought of this name a long time ago, but he didn't say it because he was afraid that Aze would object. Naming, the name will not change.
"See if this name can be used." Chen Qi asked a little nervously. He was really afraid that Azhang would reject the name in one go. He should have discussed it with the other party first.
Azhang has no objection to the name of the tribe, "I said before that no matter what name you choose, I'm just a little surprised that you will use this word to name it."
Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can't use this name." Aze pursed his lips and looked at Chen Qi stubbornly.
"Haven't you discussed it?" Azhang asked in surprise.
Chen Qi stopped talking awkwardly, "I wanted to give him a surprise." After speaking, he looked back at A Ze, "I like this name, since I was asked to name it, I will not change it."
A Ze looked at A Zhang as if asking for help, A Zhang shrugged, "I will leave the matter of the name to Chen Qi, if you don't like it, you can discuss it with him."
A Ze's attitude softened, he was not good at words, let alone facing Chen Qi who would never refute the other party's decision, "Chen Qi, don't use this name, okay?"
"why?"
Aze was stunned, why? This is to name this tribe. I am a person abandoned by the beast god. What if the beast god gets angry
Chen Qi sighed, he held Aze's slightly cold hand, "I like this name, and I also like this tribe, so I want to name my favorite tribe with my favorite word, is that not possible?"
Aze frowned tightly. He is now used to Chen Qi saying what he likes. Although he was moved, he still felt that the other party's decision was too hasty. Even if people in his own tribe would not mind this name, if people from other tribes Let's see what if we know that the name comes from him
A Ze hesitated for a while, and said, "How about using your name?"
"My name? Qicheng?" Chen Qi rested his chin and thought for a while, as if he was really considering the feasibility of this name.
Aze nodded, seeing that Chen Qi's expression was a little loose, he quickly persuaded him: "Uncle Azhang originally asked you to name the tribe, and you taught the people in the tribe so many things, it should be your name. "
Azhang rolled his eyes, was too lazy to talk to the two, sat down at the table, picked up a clean wooden cup next to him and poured himself a cup of scented tea, which was different from the sweet daisy tea he drank before. Similarly, today's tea had an astringent taste, and Azhang wanted to pour out the tea in the cup after only one sip.
"This tea is good for getting rid of anger. The weather is hot recently, and drinking a little is good for your health." Although Chen Qi was thinking about things, he had been paying attention to A Zhang's movements, and when he saw that the other party wanted to pour out the tea secretly, he quickly reminded him.
Azhang looked at the cup in his hand with a bitter and bitter look on his face, wondering where Chen Qi got such an unpalatable tea, didn't he say that daisies also have this kind of effect? It's good to drink that.
Chen Qi ignored A Zhang who was struggling with tea, but turned to look at A Ze, "You want to change my name?"
Ace nodded.
Chen Qi smiled, "Then what do you think of the name Qi Ze City? Name it after you and me."
Azhang almost spit out the tea before he could swallow it. He began to doubt whether it was correct to ask Chen Qilai to name it. If he had known that there was such a method, he should have put his and A Li's names on it.
Aze stared blankly at Chen Qi, unable to recover for a long time, he just repeated Chen Qi's words, "Named after you and me?"
Chen Qi nodded. At first he wasn't quite sure, but now he felt that the name became more and more satisfied. He took out another piece of paper, wrote down the three big characters of Qi Ze City and handed it to Azhang. .
Azhang took it over helplessly, confirmed with Chen Qi that the name was used again and again, and then left. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind the other party, "Since the name has been confirmed, the plaque you mentioned should be finished early, and it will be hung tomorrow." Go to the city gate, and our tribe will be officially completed."
"Well, the plaque will be handed over to you tomorrow morning." Chen Qi replied.
After changing the name to Qi Ze City, A Ze did not object as before. Chen Qi handed the finished plaque to the other party, asking him to write his name on it, and handed it to A Zhang directly the next day.
The next day, as soon as the day dawned, all the people in the tribe crowded outside the city gate, and each of them raised their necks to see what the tribe would be called. In order to add a little mystery, Chen Qi covered the plaque with a layer of red cloth, After Ah Zhang hung up the plaque, he lifted the red cloth.
"Qize City?" Ake frowned, looking at Aze standing beside him.
Aze's ears were red, but there was no expression on his face, as if what Ake said had nothing to do with him.
The other orcs who heard the name suddenly realized and smiled, and did not show any dislike for the name. After they came here, everything they came into contact with and the way they lived before had changed a lot. Especially after improving some diets under Chen Qi's guidance, the situation of those women who couldn't see at night also improved step by step. Even if everyone didn't say it verbally, they were very grateful to Chen Qi in their hearts.
After the official completion of the tribe, everyone held a grand celebration ceremony on the school playground. The school is not built with walls like their houses, but is completely open. The weeds on the playground have been cleaned up long ago, and those wild fruits Added quite a bit of food to their plates.
After the third month of summer, the first batch of wild fruits on the plain will be ready to eat. Chen Qi asked people to set up more than a dozen tables on the playground, with wild fruits and prepared food on them. In the form of a buffet, whoever likes to eat can just get it by himself.
It's a pity that there are not many entertainment activities here. A few orcs who have learned a little way to play in winter took out their chessboards and straw ropes, and taught others how to play Go and skipping rope. Everyone felt very novel about these two things and laughed happily. Pulling a few people to teach them, even the oldest Ah Cheng couldn't help but ran to jump the rope twice, feeling as if he was decades younger, and the smile on his face never stopped.
Chen Qi was holding a cup of daisy tea and sitting in a corner with few people, drinking tea while admiring the huge moon hanging in the sky forever.
A Ze poured some meat sauce made by Chen Qi on the piece of barbecued meat, walked over, and handed the ceramic bowl and chopsticks to the other party.
"Thank you." Chen Qi put down the teacup, then took it, and then patted the place beside him with his hands, motioning for him to sit down.
A Ze sat down next to Chen Qi, Chen Qi picked up a piece of roasted golden meat and brought it to A Ze's lips, watched A Ze eat it, then smiled and ate a piece, "It's delicious."
"There's still a lot over there, I'll get you some more after eating." Aze said after eating a piece of meat that Chen Qi handed over.
Chen Qi smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Okay."
"Chen Qi, why don't you go play with them?" Carlo saw the two people sitting in the corner, and approached them very ignorantly. He even took a piece of barbecue from Chen Qi's bowl and stuffed it into his mouth. Come to Aze and roll his eyes angrily.
"I'm admiring the moon." Chen Qi took another piece of meat and fed it to Aze who was beside him.
"Appreciate the moon?" Carlo looked up at the huge moon in the sky. This thing is there every day, so what's there to appreciate.
Chen Qi smiled maliciously, "Do you want to hear the story on the moon?"
Carlo's eyes lit up when he heard the story, and he nodded hurriedly.
Chen Qi asked the other party to sit down, looked up at the moon, and then slowly told the story of Chang'e flying to the moon.
A Ze was also listening carefully, but the more he listened, his expression became more and more serious. Why did Chen Qi understand the things on the moon so clearly? He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the moon that was so far away that he couldn't see the huge ornate palace and the people living there. He stretched out his hand to hold Chen Qi's hand, clasped his fingers tightly, and unconsciously increased his strength.
Chen Qi looked at him suspiciously, and then continued to talk about Wu Gang's cutting of osmanthus and jade rabbit's smashing of medicine to more and more people who gathered around him.
No matter where you come from, since you are here, I will never let you go...
Seeing Chen Qi's lips opening and closing to talk excitedly, A Ze stared at the expression on the other's face, as if he wanted to firmly engrave Chen Qi at this moment in his mind.
