Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

The news brought by A Ling caused a commotion in the entire Qize City. Hyena and orcs have been in conflict for thousands of years. The attack of the dragon was devastated, but the orcs never imagined that one day, the hyena dragon could turn into an orc.

Ah Yan brought A Ling to Qi Ze City directly in the forest, because there are many things in the lion and wolf tribe, and after staying in Qi Ze City for a day, she took A Ling and left.

Before leaving, Ah Yan had told everyone that because of the thunderstorm, many people in the lion and wolf tribe had a high fever. Chen Qi did not expect that the other party would think of sending them a message under such circumstances, before they left. ,Chen Qi gave the other party several plants of mugwort harvested in winter, and also sent several jars of brewed wine, and taught them how to help people physically cool down.

Azhang organized a small team of patrols to go into the forest to check. The outskirts of the forest are still the same as in previous years. There are few traces of dragons, but they can occasionally see scattered porpoise dragons. I wanted to go deeper into the forest. Before getting close to the Sanchen River, a large number of traces of dragon activities were found. For safety, the investigation by the Sanchen River could only be postponed, and they only walked around the periphery of the forest for a few times before withdrawing.

When Chen Qi took the newly designed city defense map to find Azhang, Azhang had just finished listening to the report of the patrol team, and when he saw Chen Qi coming in, Azhang's frown that had been frowning all the time relaxed a lot, Boiled water made a cup of scented tea and handed it to the other party, "Why are you here at this time? How is Ze's health these two days?"

"It's back to normal, not as drowsy as before." Chen Qi sat down at the table, and spread out the scroll in his hand, "This is the defense facility outside the city that I just finished, take a look."

Azhang leaned over, pointed to the things painted with blue dye outside the moat and asked, "What are these?"

"Water." Chen Qi explained: "Dragons can't swim. We built a lot of potholes and traps around the ice city wall in the previous winter. The melting ice and snow and continuous thunderstorms made these potholes full of water. I have researched that there are water resources hidden deep underground in this plain. As long as you dig a few meters deeper along these holes, water should seep out. Form a natural defense outside the city, even if the dragons really want to attack us, it will not be so easy."

"And this year our tribe has increased a lot of people. Taking advantage of the summer, we need to open up some more land to plant crops. It is too inefficient to search for food on the plain alone. The flat land between the moat and these potholes is the best A good choice, and then we will build another city wall outside the pit, which will not only provide an additional layer of defense, but also expand the area of ​​our tribe."

Chen Qi explained his plan in detail. He had discussed these matters with Aze at home, and combined some of Aze's understanding of the plain as a local orc, so as soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, Azhang just I think this proposal is very good.

Azhang asked someone to call Achu over, although Achu was no longer the patriarch, but Azhang still let the other party take the title of deputy patriarch, and managed the newly merged Qize City together with him.

When Ah Chu came over, A Xu and A Xu were still behind him. A Xu had been the successor of the next patriarch of the Luoshui tribe before. Ah Chu would not hide many things from him, and A Zhang did not want to accept the matter of the patriarch because of Chen Qi. , and began to train Ah Xu intentionally, hoping that Ah Xu could also participate in the management of the tribe. Seeing those two people coming in at this moment, he didn't think much about it. He only asked a few people to sit down, and he gave a few Let me repeat what Chen Qi said.

Several people looked at each other after listening, and A Xu spoke up: "I think this method is very good, and we are much safer with these two layers of defense, but now our manpower is allocated to building houses. Except for those who smelt iron, there is no one to do other things. I am afraid that this hole will not be dug for a while, and now the hole is full of water, and it will be impossible to dig deeper. Can't do it."

Azhang thought for a while, "It's just entered summer now, and there are no traces of dragon activity on the outskirts of the forest. It should be safe here before this year's winter. Just follow our plan and get things done step by step. There is no need to worry about it." If the manpower is divided, it will slow down the progress of the work."

"If the newly dug hole is full of water, it will be fine in summer, but it won't work if the water in it freezes in winter, right?" Ah Chu asked his own question.

"We can clean up all the water in the pit before winter comes. At that time, we can put some traps in it as we did last time. As long as the height is high enough, hyena dragons alone can't climb up." Kai had already thought about it.

"Then after all the houses are built, let's deal with the potholes and the new city wall first. The land outside the moat can now be planted with crops. There were still a lot of seeds left in the cellar last winter. It should be It is enough to fill up the land, and we can harvest two seasons according to the time, so after the harvest, even if we don't go outside to search for food this summer, it will be enough to survive the winter." A Zhang decided.

"I have also made a new batch of farm tools in the past few days. I will lead people to do the planting." Ah Xu took over the task. He worked with Chen Qi last summer and knows a lot about planting crops.

"Let me be with you. Our newcomers also need to learn how to plant. Now the construction of the house is waiting for a new batch of mud bricks to be fired. In the past few days, we can just arrange for people to open up those wastelands and plant crops." .”

After hearing what A Xu said, A Chu, who had been sitting beside him, glared at him, but did not refute.

Ah Xu, who had been paying attention to Ah Chu's expression, touched his nose in a little embarrassment.

"I caught a few little wild rabbits and brought them back to raise them. I plan to go to the plains to catch some other living things in two days. I have talked to you about the warming of the house before. After the house is built, I can try to keep it After the greenhouse is built, if there is any problem, we can make changes before winter. If the effect of the greenhouse is good, the animals on the plain can be raised, so that even if all the animals on the plain migrate away in the future, there is no need to take risks We've entered the forest." At this point, Chen Qi paused, "If you don't need to rely on the creatures in the forest for food, would you consider moving to the deep plains?"

Azhang: "You mean the plain across the Dosa River?"

"Yeah." Chen Qi nodded, "Wouldn't it be safer for us to stay away from the forest?"

Several people were silent for a while, and Ah Chu continued: "Our ancestors have lived in this area for generations, and we have never set foot on the plain on the other side of the Duoza River. I heard that it is the territory of various carnivorous animals. Large groups of lions, wolves, hyenas and tigers all live in that area, and if you want to move into that plain, the danger level is no lower than here."

"Although those animals will only return to the plains for one summer, their sense of territory is stronger than that of dragons. You may not know it if you have been living around here. They are not as tame as the animals here, and the number is also the same as here. Dozens or even hundreds of times that of the animal population." Azhang looked at Chen Qi, although he hadn't set foot on the plain on the other side of the Duoza River, he was older than everyone else after all, and he had heard Some old women said a little about the situation on the other side of the plain, "I heard that the animals on our plain were all driven out by the animals on the other side of the Dosa River."

This is the first time Chen Qi has heard of such a thing. He thought that as long as the food problem is solved, the tribe can be moved to a safer place. It seems that the danger in this world is not limited to the dragons in the forest. Simple.

"However, I have heard that there is a tribe of orcs on the other side of the Dosa River. Those orcs are stronger than ordinary females." A Xu said.

"Let's discuss these things later, and now let's get the tribe's defenses done." Ah Chu changed the subject, "Chen Qi, don't mind, we all think this place is pretty good, although there are no natural rocks around. It is covered, but the security level is higher than that of our previous tribe, as long as it is well built, there is no need to be afraid of those dragons."

"En." Chen Qi smiled, "Then let's solve the immediate problem first."

Several people discussed the details again, and also arranged the work that needs to be done later. Chen Qi came here at noon. At that time, Aze was guarded by Accra on the city wall. Aze's body a few days ago The abnormality also scared everyone, and Azhang did not dare to let him go hunting or do heavy work, but as long as the female is in good health, she has to work, so Azhang only needs to guard the city wall for about half a day every day. up.

When Aze's guards finished and came to pick up Chen Qi, there was a strange silence in the room.

Azhang stared blankly at Axu and then at Axu, "What did you just say?"

Ah Chu glanced at his unworthy son, "They want to ask you to register, so you can help them with the partner formalities."

"Aren't you both female?" Ah Ming obviously hasn't recovered from the news, when did these two get together?When I was chasing Ali, I chased him for decades, how long have these two people known each other?Is it so simple for female and female to be together now?

A Xu shrugged, and put his wrist around Ah Xu's waist, "Patriarch, your partner seems to be a female too."

Chen Qi covered his lips and smiled, he had already seen that A Xu's eyes were different when he looked at A Xu, but he accepted the news well, "Congratulations, don't forget to have a wedding after the completion of the new home."

"I don't build a house, I just move to Ah Xu's house." A Xu smiled triumphantly.

After discussing the matter, Achu didn't bother to talk to Axu. He still couldn't fully accept the fact that his son didn't know whether he married a female son. He wanted to go home and stare at his youngest son. Go find a male and come back.

Ah Zhang looked at Ah Xu who was standing beside him a bit shy and embarrassed, coughed and went back to his room to get the shadow stone.
