Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

The tribe that Aze belongs to is called the Yanshan tribe, named after a small rocky mountain behind it. Twenty years ago, several small tribes were merged around, and the scale once reached about a thousand people. It is a relatively famous middle-level tribe nearby. Three years ago in the winter, Yue Wusun was suddenly attacked by a group of Hyena dragons. More than one-third of the females of the tribe died in order to protect the tribe. Although the group of Hyena dragons was finally repelled, the loss of the tribe was too heavy. After all, the tribe is too close to the Loya Forest. Before the next winter, many males were worried that the Hyena dragon would come in the winter, and suggested the patriarch to leave this place. In the end, the patriarch decided to lead the tribe to a nearby large city far away from the Loya Forest. tribe, lion and wolf tribe.

Of course, there are still people in the Yanshan tribe, but most of the people who are left behind are wounded old people or females who have lost their partners. They are all afraid of bringing a burden to the tribe in the new tribe, and they plan to bury themselves in the new tribe. People from this place where they grew up. And young children and males mostly don’t choose to stay.

The Yanshan tribe has no such thing as a city wall. There are only a few dry tree trunks that act as a fence. A middle-aged female is sitting on the crown of a tall fig tree on the periphery. Seeing Azer’s arrival, she just nodded lightly, her eyes shifted. When it came to Chen Qi, he was a little more surprised.

When Chen Qi walked into the tribe, he saw all the messy square-shaped houses built without any planning. Some of the buildings were crowded together, and some were far apart. Overgrown with weeds, some houses were half-collapsed, and the doorway without animal skin curtains was like a dark hole. All the houses have no windows. The area of ​​the house is only half the size of Azer’s house, and its height is a little higher than Azer’s. Chen Qi can touch the roof as long as he stands on tiptoe and stretches out his hand.

Chen Qi looked at these houses that were completely unsuitable for people to live in for a long time. He couldn’t imagine what it would be like to live in such a low and narrow house for several months in winter. It seemed that he wanted to live there. To be more comfortable, I can only build another one by myself, “Aze, let me build a new house next to your house.” Chen Qi sighed and said to the people next to him as he walked.

A Ze stopped and looked at Chen Qi’s back in surprise.

Chen Qi turned his head and asked strangely, “Why don’t you leave?”

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to Uncle A Zhang first. Anyone who stays here needs to report to Uncle A Zhang.” A Ze hurriedly walked a few steps to hide the overflowing joy, like The thin lips pursed slightly as if thinking of something, “I will build the house for you.”

Chen Qi smiled, “Okay.” Of course he wouldn’t let Aze help him build a house just like him. I don’t know if those house designs could be copied and used in the past, but no matter what, I’ll never let him build a house like him. People from civilized society will at least make it better than these primitive orcs. Thinking of this, Chen Qi becomes a little eager to try.

Most of the people who survived moved to the foot of the rocky mountain to live, and the only ones who insisted on living in the center of the tribe were the family of Azer’s younger brother, Kalo, and a female named Ali and A Zhang.

The person A Ze wants to take Chen Qi to find is A Zhang. A Zhang is now the acting patriarch of the Yanshan tribe, responsible for leading the females to hunt and arrange defense and other tasks.

As he walked further, Chen Qi found that only the houses on the periphery of the tribe had collapsed more seriously. Most of the houses near the center were still in good condition, but at first glance it seemed that no one lived there.

A female in a gray fur coat is breaking a pile of branches into equal sections in front of the house. These are firewood reserved for winter. The more firewood you store, the better the chances of surviving the winter.

But this pile of firewood was not prepared by A Zhang for himself. Females have the ability to transform into furs in winter, but those who are seriously injured will lose their ability to transform into animals. Li is because his right foot was seriously injured. However, walking is not easy, and in the past few years, even beast transformation has become difficult, so A Zhang began to prepare a lot of firewood when the first snow came, on the one hand, for Ali, on the other hand, for those who still stayed. In the tribe, the old females with limited mobility and the young children who were reluctant to leave.

“Uncle A Zhang.” Before the two approached, A Ze shouted when he saw each other’s figure.

The female son’s hearing is very sensitive. Although there is still a distance, A Zhang stopped his movements and raised his head when he heard the call, and saw that A Ze showed a slightly honest smile.

uncle? Chen Qi looked at the orc in front of him, how he looked like he was only about 30, with short brown-black hair and a very rigid face, when he smiled, it gave people a simple and honest feeling. The muscles in his hands were very developed, more than Aze was a little taller, and when he got closer, he felt that the other party was like a wall.

A-Zhang threw the firewood in his hand to the side and tapped Chen Qi next to him with his chin, “Is he the man you brought back?”

“Yes, his name is Chen Qi.” A Ze nodded helplessly. It seemed that Carlo had come to greet him in advance, otherwise A Zhang would not have known that he brought it back as soon as he saw Chen Qi. people.

Before Chen Qi could say hello to the other party, Ah Zhang clapped his hands and turned to enter the room, “Come in.”

The two followed them into the house. A Zhang’s house was smaller than that of A Ze’s house, but there were much more things inside than A Ze’s house. The only thing in common was that there were also a lot of pottery plates and pots, almost belonging to A Ze’s house. double.

Ah Zhang walked to a white clay pot beside the bed, stretched out his hand and took out a round white stone, then walked to Chen Qi’s side, grabbed Chen Qi’s hand, a long nail suddenly appeared on his right index finger, lightly Lightly stroked Chen Qi’s palm.

Chen Qi gritted his teeth in pain, and said angrily, “What are you doing?”

A-Zhang didn’t wait for Chen Qi to withdraw his hand, and rubbed the white stone on Chen Qi’s injured area. The stone emitted a little invisible light, and the blood stained on it changed rapidly, and slowly turned into the silhouette of a dragon. . A-Zhang stared at the silhouette formed by the bloodstain for a while, and asked a little doubtfully, “Are you from the Snake Clan?”

Naturally, Chen Qi also saw the change in the stone, but before he had time to be surprised, he heard A Zhang’s question and jumped, “That’s a dragon.” You are a snake, and he is a descendant of the dragon. Well, in fact, Chen Qi didn’t understand why the stone turned into a silhouette dragon in the air after it was stained with his own blood.

But dragon, it’s not a good thing here.

Ah Zhang didn’t say anything, took the stone back to a red clay pot beside the bed, put it in, waved to the two of them and said, “You can go.”

With heartache, Aze took out the animal skin that he had prepared a long time ago and wrapped Chen Qi’s injured palm, explaining: “This is a stone for recording information, it can record the most primitive taste in your blood, even if you are gone in the future, I can also find you by following the smell in the stone.” After that, he handed a piece of animal skin to A-Zhang, A-Ze carried a dozen animal skins when he went out, Chen Qi almost thought he was going to move, “Thank you, Uncle A-Chang. , then Chen Qi and I will leave first.”

A Zhang was not polite, and he knocked A Ze on the head and cursed, “How many times have I told you not to call me uncle, I’m only 55 years old, and I’m still young, so I want to call him brother.”

Chen Qi rolled his eyes, and at the age of 55, he still needs someone else to call him brother, which is shameless. Well, Chen Qi just stabbed himself without hitting him when he resented the other party to say hello, but it hurts. But when it comes to age, orcs generally seem to have a lifespan of more than 200 years, Chen Qi silently envied, and wondered if he could have such a long lifespan.

The two left A Zhang’s house and went to A Li’s house next door. A Ze wanted A Li to help Chen Qi make several sets of animal skin coats. Chen Qi’s thin clothes could not withstand the harsh winter here.

Because of the inconvenience of legs and feet, Ali stayed in the house for many years. The complexion was whiter than the average female, and the appearance was gentle and gentle, giving people a very gentle feeling. I heard that Ali was almost eighty years old. Yes, but it looks like thirty-five or six. Because of the harsh environment, the orcs will not enter the aging period until they are 150 years old. Too early aging is not conducive to the survival of this race.

When the two came in, Ali was weaving, yes, that’s right, he was weaving, but his way of weaving was different from what Chen Qi knew. In front of him were a few basketball-sized balls. Cocoon, the line is a bit rough, but it looks very soft, use a few stones to press one side of the cloth that has been woven, and then constantly adjust the position of several cocoons, and stop from time to time to check the knitting. There are no places that are too loose, too loose and compact by hand before continuing. The area of ​​the cloth woven in this way is not large, and the speed is very slow.

Chen Qi leaned over in surprise, looked curiously at the small piece of cloth that had been woven, and then looked at the few woolly cocoons, reached out and touched it, it was soft, a bit like wool, but thinner than wool. a little. No wonder Aze wasn’t surprised to see the clothes he was wearing. It turned out that there was already cloth here.

“Do you like this cloth?” Ali’s voice was as gentle as his appearance.

Chen Qi took a few steps back in embarrassment for his impolite behavior, nodded, and asked expectantly, “Can you help me weave a few pieces of cloth? I can pay you.”

Ali didn’t answer him, smiled and looked back at the tall orc who was putting the animal skin beside him, “Is this the man you brought back?”

A Ze nodded, “His name is Chen Qi.”

“It’s a good name.” Ali turned back to look at Chen Qi, “I knitted this for Ake’s unborn child. Are you planning to have a child if you want the cloth now?”

“Child?” Chen Qi looked at Aze suspiciously.

Azer explained: “Only orc babies wear cloth clothes here.”
