Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains - Chapter 189
The news brought by A Ling caused a sensation in the entire Qi Ze city. Hyena dragons and orcs have been antagonistic for thousands of years. Even if the Hyena dragons are much stronger than the orcs in their abilities, many tribes have also suffered because of the hyena dragons. The dragon was attacked and devastated, but the orcs never imagined that one day, the hyena dragon could turn into an orc.
A Yan brought A Ling directly to Qi Ze City in the forest, because there were many things in the Lion and Wolf tribe, and after staying in Qi Ze City for a day, she left with A Ling.
Before leaving, Ayan 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 coming to pass the message to them first, before they left. , Chen Qi handed over several wormwood plants harvested in winter to the other party, and also sent a few jars of brewed wine, by the way, taught them how to help people to cool down physically.
A-Zhang organized a small patrol team to check in the forest. The outside of the forest is still the same as in previous years. There are very few traces of dragons, but occasionally scattered dolphin dragons can be seen. Originally, I wanted to go deeper into the forest. , A large number of traces of dragon activities were found before they approached the Sanchen River. For safety, we could only postpone the exploration of the Sanchen River, and only made a few circles around the forest before withdrawing.
When Chen Qi went to find A Zhang with the newly designed city defense map, A Zhang had just listened to the report of the patrol, and when he saw Chen Qi coming in, A Zhang’s frowning frowned a lot. He poured a cup of scented tea into the boiling water and handed it to the other party, “Why are you here at this time? How is Azer’s health these past two days?”
“It has returned to normal, not as lethargic as before.” Chen Qi sat down at the table and spread out the picture scroll in his hand, “This is the defense facility outside the city that I just finished, take a look.”
A-Zhang leaned over, pointed to something 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 winter. Melting ice and snow and thunderstorms for several days filled these potholes with water. I have researched and found that there are water resources hidden deep underground in this plain. As long as you dig a few meters down along these potholes, water should seep out. A natural defense is formed 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 grow crops. It is too inefficient to search for food on the plain. The flat land between the moat and these potholes is the most efficient. A good choice, and then we will build another city wall outside the pothole, which will not only have an extra layer of defense, but also expand the area of our tribe.”
Chen Qi detailed his plans. He discussed these matters with A Ze at home, and summed up some of A Ze’s knowledge of the plains as a local orc, so after Chen Qi finished speaking, A Zhang only I think this proposal is very good.
A-Zhang asked someone to call A-Chu over. Although A-CHU was no longer the patriarch, A-Chang still let the other party hang the name of a deputy patriarch to manage the newly merged Qize City with him.
When A Chu came over, he was followed by A Xu and A Xu. A Xu used to be the heir to the next patriarch of the Luoshui tribe. A Chu would not hide many things from him, and A Zhang did not want to accept the affairs of the patriarch because of Chen Qi. , and began to cultivate Axu intentionally, hoping to let Axu also participate in the management of the tribe. At this moment, when he saw the two people coming in, he didn’t think much about it. He only greeted a few people to sit down, and he gave a few more people. Repeated the suggestion that Chen Qi said.
A few people looked at each other after listening, and A Xu said: “I think this method is very good, and we are a lot safer with these two layers of defense, but now our manpower is arranged to build the house, now Except for the people who melted iron tools, no one can 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 is impossible to dig deeper. Can’t do it.”
A Zhang thought for a while, “It’s only summer now, and there are no traces of dragon activities outside the forest. It should be safe here before this year’s winter. Just follow our plan to do things step by step, and you don’t need to Allocating the staff will slow down the progress of the work.”
“If the newly dug hole is full of water, it will be fine in summer, but if the water in winter freezes, it will be useless, right?” Chu asked his own question.
“We can clean up all the water in the pothole before winter comes. At that time, we can put some traps in it as we did last time. As long as the height is enough, they can’t climb up with the Hyena dragon alone.” Chen Chen on this question Qi had already thought about it.
“Then let’s deal with the potholes and the new city wall after all the houses are built. The land outside the moat can now be planted first. There were a lot of seeds left because of the cellar storage last winter. It should be It is enough to fully plant 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 spend the winter.” A Zhang decided.
“I’ve also made a new batch of farm tools in the past few days. I’ll take someone to do the planting.” Ah Xu took over the task. He worked with Chen Qi last summer and knew a lot about planting crops.
“I’ll come with you. Our new recruits 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 arrange for people to open up those wastelands and plant crops. .”
Hearing A Xu’s words, A Chu, who had been sitting next to him, glared at him, but did not refute it.
A Xu, who had been watching A Chu’s expression, touched his nose slightly embarrassedly.
“I caught a few little hares before and came back to raise them. In two days, I plan to go to the plain to catch a few other living creatures. I have also talked to you about the greenhouse before. After the house is built, I can try to put it together first. The conservatory has been built, and if there are any problems, we can make changes before winter comes. If the conservatory works well, 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. Entering the forest.” Speaking of which, Chen Qi paused, “If you don’t need to rely on the creatures in the forest for food, would you consider moving to the depths of the plains?”
A Zhang: “You mean the plain across the Dosa River?”
“Well.” Chen Qi nodded, “Would it be safer for us to stay away from the forest?”
Several people were silent for a while, and A Chu continued: “We have lived in this area for generations, and have never set foot on the plain on the other side of the Duosa River. I heard that it is the territory of various carnivorous animals. Large lions, wolves, hyenas, tigers, and the like all live in that area, and if you want to move into that plain, the level of danger is no less than here.”
“Although those animals only return to the plains for one summer, their territorial awareness is stronger than that of dragons. You probably don’t know that you have been living near here. They are not as tame as the animals here, and the number is also here. Dozens of times or even hundreds of times more than animal groups.” A Zhang looked at Chen Qi, although he had never set foot on the plain on the other side of the Duosa River, he was older than the others after all, and he had listened to it before. 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 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 are orc tribes on the other side of the Dosa River. Those orcs are stronger than ordinary females.” Asu said.
“We’ll discuss these matters later. Now, let’s get the defense of the tribe ready.” A Chu opened the topic, “Chen Qi, don’t mind, we all think it’s pretty good here, although there are no natural rocks and mountains around it. It can be blocked, but the level of safety is higher than that of our previous tribe, as long as the construction is done well, there is no need to be afraid of those dragons.”
“Well.” Chen Qi smiled, “Then let’s solve the current 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, Azer was sent to the city wall by Accra to guard. Azer’s body a few days ago. The abnormality also frightened everyone, and A-Zhang didn’t dare to let him go out hunting or do heavy work, but as long as the female is healthy, she can’t help but work, so A-Ze only needs to guard the city wall for about half a day every day. .
When Aze Guard finished and came to pick up Chen Qi, there was a strange silence in the room.
A Zhang stared blankly at A Xu and then at A Xu, “What did you just say?”
A Chu glanced at his unsatisfactory son, “They want to register with you, so you can help them go through the partner formalities.”
“Aren’t you both females?” Ah Mian still hasn’t recovered from the news. When did the two get together? When I chased Ali for decades, how long have these two people known each other? Is it that simple now that the female and the female are together?
A Xu shrugged and put his hand around A Xu’s waist, “Patriarch, your partner seems to be a female too.”
Chen Qi covered his lips and smiled. He had long 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 new home is completed.”
“I don’t build a house, I just move to A Xu’s house.” A Xu smiled smugly.
After the discussion of the matter, A Chu was too lazy to pay attention to A Xu. He couldn’t fully accept the fact that his son did not know whether to marry or marry a female son. He wanted to go home and stare at his youngest son. Find a male back.
A Zhang looked at A Xu who was standing beside him a little shy and awkward, coughed and went back to the room to get the shadow stone.
