Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains - Chapter 174

Chen Qi was not idle while waiting for the time for the mugwort hot grass to boil. He planned to give these people a brief physical cooling first.

The hot orcs were all wrapped in thick animal skins. Chen Qi didn’t dare to take off their clothes. He only opened the collars a little, and then took off the animal skins covering his hands. heat dissipation.

He sent Ah Jing to get some ice cubes outside and made them into ice packs and put them on their heads, then mixed a little warm water, and asked the females in charge of taking care of the patients to wipe the corresponding areas according to his method. There is no applicable one here. Chen Qi also used brewed wine instead of alcohol, and after finishing all the alcohol, the house filled with a strong smell of wine.

After the mugwort hot grass was cooked, one person fed a large bowl, maybe he came to a warm place, and after drinking the soup, even Luther, who had been supporting himself all the time, fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, Ashu, who went to cook **** soup for the tribe, also came back, and he did not forget to bring a bowl to the people who had been taking care of the sick.

After Achu settled the clan and returned, he sent them to rest, leaving only the family members of a few patients to continue guarding here. Chen Qi did not dare to be careless. The effect of the hot grass is really good. Even the heat of those who fell into a coma early is slowly fading. After everyone put down the big stone in their hearts, Chen Qi was in the mood to find out why the Luoshui tribe came here at this time. .

“I didn’t expect it to be so dangerous outside.” Chen Qi sighed, if it weren’t for the danger, the orcs of the Luoshui tribe would not have come all the way to escape to Qize City.

Aze pondered for a while, “You said that you saw the letter eagle when you left the Lion and Wolf Tribe. Is the Hyena Dragon going to attack the Lion and Wolf Tribe?”

A Xu took the freshly cooked food that Ali handed him. Recently, in order to travel, they only eat one cooked meal a day. Apart from roasting the food, they have no time to fiddle with the taste of the food. The aroma of the food, the stomach has already begun to drum, Rao Shi has been quiet as he can’t help swallowing saliva.

After thanking Ali, A Xu ate a mouthful of fresh and sweet fish porridge, and then replied: “There are many small tribes who have gone to the Lion and Wolf Tribe during this time, and the number of the Lion and Wolf tribe is probably more than that of the Hyena. There are still many dragons, even if the Hyena Dragon really wants to attack the Lion and Wolf Tribe, I’m afraid it won’t get any benefit.” This is one of the reasons why they hesitated to stay in the Lion and Wolf Tribe.

A Shu next to him was already drinking porridge and stuffed the vegetables into his mouth. Chen Qi saw that several people were starving, so he could only let them finish eating before talking.

I rubbed the patients with wine again, and tested the temperature on the forehead. It was much better than when they were just sent here.

After everyone finished eating, Ah Zhang just pushed the door open and entered. To prevent cold wind from blowing in, he was very careful when he opened the animal skin curtain.

“How are they?” Seeing the rows of sleeping orcs, Ah Zhang asked in a low voice.

“Don’t worry, the fever has begun to slowly subside.” Ali asked him to roast the cold air on his body on the fire next to him, so as not to bring it to those weak patients.

“Thank you very much today.” A Chu bowed solemnly to everyone in Qize City, and everyone from the Luoshui tribe who sat around also expressed their gratitude.

A Zhang waved his hand, “I would also like to thank you for the information you brought.”

The orc tribe has a tradition of accepting other tribes in times of crisis, not only for the sake of being able to flee when they are in distress, but also for the survival of the whole orcs.

After all, the Hyena Dragon had already come to the Lion and Wolf tribe, and there was no time for the orcs to deploy slowly. A Zhang came here to discuss the future with everyone.

A Chu didn’t know much about Qi Zecheng, so he naturally left the matter to A Zhang to make arrangements. There were too many dragons coming this time. In order not to cause fearless casualties, all the guards who were patrolling around the Chishui River every day were withdrawn. He came back, and fig juice was sprinkled around the tribe several times, hoping to cover up the breath of the orcs.

“We didn’t bring enough food this time. If we don’t go out, I’m afraid we won’t have enough food to finish this winter.” A Chu expressed his concerns. Moreover, he also saw that there were not many houses in Qi Ze City. It was good that Qi Ze City could provide them with a place to settle them, but they needed to provide their own food and clothing.

“You don’t have to worry about the food.” A-Zhang smiled and explained the recent food that came to you for free, plus the things they stored in the summer, enough to support them through the winter.

After hearing this, Achu and the others looked at each other, obviously dubious about this simple method of hunting dragons. Axu and Ashu had participated in the hunt for iron armored dragons before, but they accepted it well.

After all, the people from the Luoshui tribe had just arrived, and A Zhang briefly discussed the arrangement with them and then left. After dark, a few hot orcs were woken up by hunger. Chen Qi fed them some of the warm rice paste, and each of them poured the last half a bowl of herbal soup made from mugwort hot grass.

Chen Qi didn’t dare to sleep that day, and guarded these patients all night, until the fever on everyone’s body dropped to the normal value, and he rested a little while leaning on Aze.

Luther’s condition is the mildest of all. He woke up just after dawn, and saw his sleeping partner curled up beside him, a burst of heartache. During this period of running around, A Chu lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were blue and black. , the cheeks also sunken. With his eyes, Luther motioned to A Xu, who found himself awake, to move lighter, not to wake him up.

“Father, are you feeling better?” A Xu walked around A Chu, reached out and gently lifted him up.

“much better.”

A Xu reached out to check the other party’s body temperature, and found that it had returned to normal. The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He closed the animal skin coat to the other party so as not to catch a cold. The two windows of the house were opened with a slit. Although the cold wind would not blow directly at the patients, Asu did not dare to be careless.

A bowl of steaming meat porridge was handed to the two of them. This was specially prepared by Chen Qi for the patients. It was filled with mashed dragon meat and a wild ginseng. People add qi and blood. “You’re hungry, let’s eat something to bolster your stomach first.”

Asu thankfully took it over and slowly fed Luthor to finish.

Except for the few people who were in a severe coma who were still awake, other orcs also became awake one after another. Orcs rarely get sick, and the most common symptom is this kind of fever, and this symptom will get better as long as the fever subsides. After listening to Azer’s explanation of the disease, even if there are still a few people who are still awake , Chen Qi was not as worried as he had been at the beginning.

Because of a gathering held before, Qi Ze City built several dormitories, but these dormitories are different from other houses. They don’t have fire pit beds and can only rely on the fire for heating. All moved into these dormitories to live in. They have fur from beasts, and they are not as afraid of cold as males.

The males and some old children and old people live in other people’s homes temporarily. The original females of Qi Ze City took the initiative to give their homes to these orcs to live in, and the orcs’ homes had to be temporarily built with heated beds. It is also easy, and the thermal insulation effect is naturally much better than those dormitories.

In addition to the classroom that has been converted into a workshop, other places in the school are temporarily used to house the orcs of the Luoshui tribe. Although it is a little crowded, it is not difficult to get through this winter.

With the addition of the Luoshui tribe, the number of people who usually defended increased a lot. Chen Qi asked them to install all the improved siege crossbows on the ice city wall.

Now the entire mission of Qi Ze City is to confirm the normality of the weapon traps every day, and slowly wait for the end of winter.

The drowsy patients slept for two more days before they woke up one after another. Chen Qi confirmed that they had no serious problems except that they were still relatively weak, so he was relieved. In the days when the Luoshui tribe slowly merged, Chen Qi again Restored the previous weapon design, his explosives/charges and things like catapults have not been fiddled with yet.

With the addition of the Luoshui tribe, Chen Qi discovered several orcs with great hands-on ability. They were able to pay off the items perfectly according to the blueprints and Chen Qi’s instructions, although sometimes they did not understand the principle. It’s a bit tangled, but the progress is much faster than before, and even the power of the previous siege crossbow has been improved. Unfortunately, due to the limitation of materials, the lethality of pure wooden arrows is still not enough to kill dragons in one hit. .

“Father, will we be all right?” The little female child, who looked like she was only two or three years old, was hugged tightly by her male father, her big eyes were a little dazed.

“It’s alright, if you’re sleepy, take a nap, and when you wake up, those hyena dragons will leave.” Xiongzi gently stroked his child’s back and comforted him softly.

The little girl nodded obediently, found a comfortable position in her grandfather’s arms, and then slowly fell asleep.

The outermost ice city wall of the Lion and Wolf Tribe was filled with black and white females. They were either standing upright or half-bent, their sharp fingernails gleaming coldly, ready to be ready at any time. to tear the throat of the enemy.

“Patriarch, they’ve been around here for three days.” Although Bird is a male, he has been the tribe’s patriarch for half his life, so he is not hiding somewhere in the depths of the tribe like other males. Instead, he would come to the outermost ice city wall every day to observe the confrontation between the hyena dragons and the orcs every day.

The female son, known as the patriarch, did not reply. He stared gloomily at the giant hyena dragon that looked like the leader of the hyena dragon group in the distance. It was the first time he had seen such a tall hyena dragon. As far as the countless hyena dragons behind him were concerned, this giant hyena dragon made him even more apprehensive.

Seeing that the patriarch didn’t pay attention to himself, and Bai De’s expression was not very good, he was about to ask if there was any other movement from the Hyena Dragon today, but he heard the man beside him slowly say: “This is not the place for you to stay. .”
