Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains - Chapter 173
In the vast snow field, a group of orcs in different clothes are rushing forward, each of them is carrying another orc or carrying heavy luggage, even if everyone looks haggard because of the long-term running. , but the pace of the feet did not stop half a minute.
“Father, the Chishui River is ahead.” A Xu Zhe, who went to explore the road first, came back to convey the news to his patriarch, Father.
Not long after they set foot in the direction of Qi Ze City, they found that the letter eagle seemed to be heading towards the Lion and Wolf Tribe. On the way from the Luoshui Tribe to the Lion and Wolf Tribe, they occasionally met once or twice. Xinying, but this time a huge sense of crisis shrouded everyone’s heart, just like the night when the Hyena Dragons surrounded the Luoshui tribe. The evacuated orcs also vaguely felt that this group of hyena dragons were the hyena dragons that besieged the Luoshui tribe that night.
Achu looked at the river that had been completely frozen in front of him, and the nerves that had been tense for the past few days also relaxed a bit. Because of the discovery of the relationship between the letter eagles, he originally planned to be improved by them day and night at the normal speed of progress. It doubled, since the night before, they had been on their way all the time except for stopping to eat, for fear that the Hyena dragon behind them would catch up with them and not dare to stop at all.
However, after leaving the range of the lion and wolf tribe, those eagles had no intention of catching up.
“Looks like we’re almost there, let’s hold on for a while.” A Chu comforted his partner behind him, and then cheered the clansman a bit.
In the past few days, several orcs have fallen ill, and the same symptoms have started to have fever. A Chu’s partner Luther is also one of these people, which is one of the reasons why they have to travel all night. Now they can only hope Qi Ze There is something in town to treat this symptom.
A Chu’s eyes darkened. Even through several layers of animal skins, he could feel the temperature from his partner’s body. He knew that if Luther didn’t cool down, he wouldn’t be able to keep it.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Probably feeling the uneasy breath of his partner, Luther patted the other person’s back lightly to comfort him. He knew that those clansmen who first fell into a high fever state had already passed out. .
A Xu took a few steps forward and closed the animal skin on Luther’s body, making sure to cover the other side tightly without leaving a single gap. Afterwards, the ancestors left in one step, and there were several females in their group scattered around the clansmen, just to first detect whether there was any danger around.
There are a bunch of messy footprints left on the snowfield that has not been moved for a long time, but these footprints will not be completely covered by the next snow tomorrow, so the orcs don’t have to worry about leaving traces by the dragons on the plain. Find.
“Axu, is that person Axu?” In a small snowy **** not far from Chishui River, several females wearing white animal skin cloaks were quietly nesting on the ground. The cloak and the snow were well integrated. became their best disguise.
“What nonsense? The Luoshui tribe is almost a month away from here, how could Axu be here at this time?” Without waiting for Axu to speak, another female beside the orc replied.
The woman who started the question was an orc from the Luoshui tribe. Although she was not familiar with Asu, she still knew better than the orc who spoke to him. Even if she knew that someone from the Luoshui tribe could not be here at such a time. , is still full of familiarity with those figures that are getting closer and closer.
A Xu looked in the direction the females said, and saw the familiar figure, his heart skipped a beat, and then he rushed over in a flash.
The other orcs who were still lying on the ground glanced at each other, no longer lying on the ground disguising, and hurriedly followed.
A few white figures suddenly appeared, startling Asu, he pulled the orc closest to him and took a few steps back, and assumed a defensive posture.
“Axu, why are you here?”
A familiar voice entered his eardrums, and A Xu took a closer look. The figure he had been thinking about for months suddenly appeared in front of him. Before the defensiveness that had just risen in his beautiful blue eyes had faded, his body had already moved forward. After a few steps, he took the familiar figure into his arms.
In the past few months, no matter how calm and strong he appeared on the outside, he was not afraid for a moment. He was afraid that he might never see the person in front of him again.
A Xu, who was suddenly hugged, was stunned for a while, then remembered that there were people around him. Fortunately, he was still wearing a larger cape and hat on his head, and the tips of his red ears were hidden inside and would not be discovered by everyone.
“You…why are you here?” A Xu was a little stuttered by the sudden hug, and asked again softly.
“Our tribe was attacked by the Hyena Dragon.” Perhaps because of excitement, A Xu’s voice trembled a little.
“What?” The orc who turned out to be the Luoshui tribe exclaimed.
After Axu calmed down, he briefly talked about the hyena dragon. The faces of several orcs in Qi Zecheng sank when they heard the words, although they knew that there were a lot of hyena dragons after the winter because of Ajiu. Things that appeared on the plain, but I didn’t expect that even the Luoshui tribe so far away from here entered the attack range of the Hyena Dragon, plus the letter eagle that had already appeared within the range of the Lion and Wolf Tribe, the Hyena Dragon’s subordinate. Will one target be Qi Ze City?
While everyone was talking, A Chu and the clansmen also caught up from behind, because A Xu had been to the Luoshui Tribe, A Chu was no stranger to each other, and A Xu also knew the current situation of the Luoshui Tribe. In addition, today’s patrol mission has been completed, so they returned to Qize City with the exhausted Luoshui tribe orcs.
Taking advantage of the good weather today, Chen Qi helped the little wolf cub take a bath. Now the little wolf cub has no hair all over his body, it is very convenient to clean.
“I always think you’re getting uglier and uglier now. When will the hair grow back?” Chen Qi disgustedly handed the little wolf cub who had taken a bath to Ah, who was already waiting with a towel. Jing, said.
“Ow.” The little wolf cub glanced at Chen Qi pitifully, and then cuddled into A Jing’s arms.
“It’s okay, the little wolf will always be the best looking in my heart.” A Jing rubbed the little wolf cub’s head and comforted him, and then directly carried the other party back to the fire to prevent the other party from catching a cold.
With A Jing’s comfort, the little wolf cub’s mood improved instantly, and after wiping his body, he obediently asked A Jing to put on a new animal skin coat for himself. This set of animal skins was specially designed by Chen Qi. Not only the shoes and hats, but also the tails were wrapped in soft animal skins. If it weren’t for the bald and strange face, if you didn’t look closely, you would have thought that the little wolf cub had grown out. It’s hairy.
It’s just that this dress is really strange. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell that the little wolf cub is a giant wolf god.
“Chen Qi, Chen Qi.” As soon as A Jing took care of the little wolf cub, a voice called Chen Qi came from outside the house, and then the door of the hall was pushed open by a gust of cold wind, and the burning flame was blown away. He leaned in the direction of the little wolf cub and almost burned the animal skin he just put on, making the little wolf cub take a few steps away from the fire.
Chen Qi stuck his head out of the washroom. The mist evaporated from the hot water in the washroom had not yet dissipated. Chen Qi stayed in it for a long time, and even his hair was moistened. He was startled when he saw the black pressure coming in. Jump. “Axu, why are you here?”
The people who came in were the people from the Luoshui tribe who had just arrived in Qize City. Many of their clansmen were suffering from high fever. Today, it happened to be Aze’s turn on the city wall. Seeing the orcs who had passed out, Without further ado, let A Chu take people directly to his home.
Hearing Chen Qi’s question, without waiting for the Luoshui tribe’s people to explain, Aze took a few steps forward and told Chen Qi about the conditions of the patients. Only then did Chen Qi realize that there were several people behind them.
“Go and take out the rest of the mugwort hot grass in the house.” Chen Qi briefly checked the situation of the other people, and was startled by the heat on those orcs. If they were burned like this, those who had no medicine and no medicine could still be saved. have to come back?
Chen Qi didn’t dare to delay any longer. When A Ze went to get the mugwort hot grass, he asked A Jing to warm up the kang bed in the hall, and then took out a few bamboo mats and animal skins and spread them around the fire to make it. He made a simple bed and asked Achu to place the sick orcs first.
At this time, the other orcs who heard the movement also came over. Ali saw this situation and quickly attacked Chen Qi. As the patriarch of the Luoshui tribe, Achu settled a few sick orcs and left a few behind. The female son took care of her here, so she took A Xu to go outside and settled the other clansmen together with A Zhang, the patriarch of Qize City.
Many orcs have had physical problems along the way, and no one can fall down at this time.
Aze had already cleaned the mugwort and found a large pottery plate filled with water and started to boil. Chen Qi walked to a row of wooden shelves by the window, which were full of plants planted in the pottery plate, most of them were Some edible plants such as onion and garlic, but there are several plates of wormwood that has just grown.
Chen Qi planted two of the wormwood grass that Aze just brought back, and successfully produced seeds. Chen Qi did not expect plants to grow in such a winter, so he tried planting them in a warm house. He also replanted half of the wormwood seeds he had collected before, but he didn’t expect it to actually grow alive.
Although the growth of the planted crops is not as good as in summer, just a few plates of onion and garlic are enough for a few of them to eat occasionally this winter.
Without hesitation, Chen Qi dug up the plates of mugwort hot grass that were not fully mature and blooming, cleaned the soil contaminated on them, and handed them over to Aze to mix the original mugwort hot grass to boil.
There are more than a dozen people in the Luoshui tribe who have fever this time, and the few remaining trees are only afraid that the medicinal power is not enough.
“Chen Qi, is there anything I can help you with?” Ah Shu settled down with his father, who was also sick and feverish, and went to Chen Qi’s side to ask.
“You and Ali go to the cellar to get some wild **** and cook some **** soup to share with your clansmen. There is still sugar in the storage room, you can add a little to boil it, remember to let everyone drink a little, don’t catch a cold. “Chen Qi warned while busy.
