Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains - Chapter 210
After feeding Chen Xiaobaozi the milk fruit, Chen Qi carefully put the sleeping buns on the bed. After the winter, he moved the place where he slept at night to the kang bed outside the hall. There was a fire in the hall every day, and the surrounding The temperature is much higher than the one in the room, so don’t worry about freezing the little buns.
Aze is making a new toy for Xiaobaozi, a rattle. He once made it for the little orcs in the tribe, and now he is more skilled at making it. There were scraps of sawdust scattered on the table, and Azer was holding a thin grinding stone to lightly polish the wood thorns on the edge of the rattle.
He poked Xiao Baozi’s pink and tender face with his fingers, and the expression on Chen Qi’s face softened a lot. He gently helped him cover the quilt, and put a rag doll that Xiao Baozi liked within reach of the other party. Only then did Qi walk up to A Ze’s side to watch him busy.
“It’s been a busy day today, so you should go to bed earlier.” Seeing Chen Qi sitting across from him, Aze stopped what he was doing. Today, a pony fell ill, and Chen Qi stayed in the conservatory for a day. , And as winter entered, even if they stayed in the conservatory, the condition of those animals was not very good, and they were not in good spirits all day long. Chen Qi was also worried that they would not be able to survive, and most of the time he would take good care of them.
“I’m fine, I’m not sleepy.” Chen Qi picked up a small cup of milk fruit that had been warming beside him, and then poured another cup of scented tea, mixed the milk fruit into the scented tea, and the faint milky aroma blended into the tea. This is the milk fruit left by Xiao Baozi who drank it just now. Thanks to the little wolf cub, the number of milk fruit stored in the cellar is the largest of all fruits. If Xiaobaozi eats three meals a day, it will be the next winter. no problem.
A Ze took over the mixed version of the milk tea. The tea was freshly brewed, and it was still hot. The temperature was transferred to the palm of the hand with the pottery cup. A Ze took a sip. , Chen Qi fiddled with all kinds of eating methods, and Aze always felt that even the air at home now smelled of milk.
“I heard that there are quite a few animals on the edge of the forest?”
“Well, there are no dragons around the edge today.” A Ze put down the cup, picked up the unfinished rattle to continue working, and told Chen Qi what the patrol team found today.
“I’m afraid the Hyena Dragon is coming soon.” Chen Qi sighed, with worry on his brows.
A Ze raised his head and looked at the other party, “Don’t worry, we have done what we have to do, and the rest will be fine.” Anyway, living on this plain, no matter what, he has to face the Hyena Dragon, and he himself Will protect Chen Qi.
“Yes.” Chen Qi rubbed his brows and was busy for the whole summer and most of the winter. Even if he couldn’t fight the Hyena Dragon with the things he prepared, it should be no problem to defend the tribe, right?
As the two were talking, the sound of an explosion that shook the sky in the distance and the howling of a wolf that indicated danger suddenly sounded. The little bun, who was sleeping, was awakened by the sound and burst into tears. A Jing and the little wolf cub He also came out of the room and saw the two people in the hall, with a bit of confusion on his face, who was not fully awake.
Chen Qi walked over and picked up the little bun and coaxed gently. Aze had already opened the door and ran out, and the door that was too late to close was poured in with snowflakes and cold wind.
“Go get dressed and pack up.” After Chen Qi coaxed the little bun, he hurriedly said to A Jing who was still standing by the door.
A Jing came back to his senses, went into the room, pulled out his small backpack, and packed some commonly used things into it. While Chen Qi was helping Xiao Baozi get dressed, the worst plans were churning in his mind.
In the late summer, Chen Qi once again fiddled with the fire/powder, and made several press-type mines with stones, ceramics, etc. Because it is a simple version, the lethality is not high, but the advantage is that it can emit a huge amount of landmines. explosion.
Once it snows in winter, the snow on the ground will be very thick, and it is very inconvenient to clean up, so this kind of mines are only buried in the direction facing the Chishui River, so that even the dragons in the forest accidentally run to the tribe. The edge wouldn’t be easily triggered, but now it was obvious that these mines had been detonated, and Chen Qi had an uneasy premonition in his heart.
Chen Qigang wrapped the little bun tightly with a cloak, and Aze came back, his expression was not very good, “Maybe the Hyena Dragon is here, get ready, I’ll take you to the cellar first.”
“Can’t you see clearly?”
Aze shook his head, today is the moonless day, the plain is almost swallowed by darkness, and in order to better prevent the attack of the Hyena Dragon, the landmines were buried a little far away from the tribe, no matter how good the eyesight of the females, the Only a vague shadow could be seen, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was an ordinary dragon that entered by mistake or a hyena dragon.
Chen Qi also packed the extra snacks he made today and stuffed them into his backpack, then took the things commonly used by small buns, put on a thick animal skin cloak, and followed Aze out.
The orcs in the entire Qi Ze City have woken up. There are hurried pedestrians walking on the road. Carlo next door just happened to be holding A Yao out. Maybe A Yao is too sleepy and still sleeping on Carlo’s shoulder. The movement didn’t even wake up. Ake followed behind them with a large backpack. When he saw Chen Qi and his party, they went to the school cellar together.
The cellar in Qize City was only the one under the school that had been specially fortified to hide people. When Chen Qi and his party arrived, there were already many males and old females in it, and Ali was busy giving everyone Personally assigning places, Ashu helps with registration.
Chen Qi carried Xiao Baozi into the deepest corner of the cellar, which was farthest from the ground and had better sound insulation. Even if Xiao Baozi couldn’t control the noise, he wouldn’t be able to find it outside.
Azeri lit a small fire, Chen Qi spread a few pieces of animal skins on the ground, and then handed the small bun to A Jing, telling him to take good care of it.
After quickly arranging things in the cellar, Chen Qi wanted to follow A Ze outside to see the situation, and the little wolf cub who had been quietly following him bit Chen Qi’s clothes.
“You want to go out too?” Chen Qi asked tentatively when he saw the little wolf cub looking at him eagerly.
The little wolf cub nodded, and before Chen Qi refused, Azer pulled Chen Qi’s wrist and said to the little wolf cub, “You can go out, but you must protect yourself when you are in danger.”
Hearing that he was allowed to go out, the little wolf cub snorted happily, flicked his big tail, turned his head to comfort the worried A Jing, and then crossed Chen Qidang and walked towards the cellar exit.
“Is it okay to let it go out?” Chen Qi asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, it’s a giant wolf god.”
Seeing that Aze’s words were full of trust in the little wolf cub, Chen Qi could only suppress his worries.
I don’t know when snowflakes fluttered in the sky again, and the sound of the explosion had long stopped. Except for the sound of footsteps rushing to the cellar, the entire Qi Ze City was eerily quiet.
The two crossed the two red-brown city walls to the outermost ice city wall. Many fires were lit on the ice city wall, and the entire wall was illuminated. Ah Zhang was looking at the situation outside with a solemn expression. Of course, He could see nothing but darkness.
“Is the Hyena Dragon here?” Chen Qi got down from Aze’s back. The wind on the city wall was stronger than that in the tribe. Chen Qi couldn’t help tightening the cloak on his body and said through the thick mask. The voice was a little muffled.
Seeing that it was Chen Qi, A Zhang gave up the position of the battlements. Chen Qi followed the position given by the other party and looked outside, but there was nothing but darkness.
“I don’t know if it is the Hyena Dragon. The guards just said that something seemed to move outside when the explosion sounded, but I didn’t hear the Hyena Dragon’s voice, so I can’t be sure for the time being.” said it.
At this time, A Chu came over from the other side of the city wall and saw Chen Qi nodded and said hello, “No abnormality has been found in the other three directions for the time being.”
A-Zhang looked up at the sky, “Wait and see, wait until dawn to see the situation before making plans.”
It’s only early in the morning, and it’s still a long time before dawn. Chen Qi stayed on the city wall for a while and was sent back to rest by A-Zhang. Seeing that there was no place for him for the time being, Chen Qi also felt that he couldn’t stand the night. Chilled, he and Aze went back to the cellar first.
The little wolf cub did not follow to the outermost ice city wall, but stayed on the inner city wall.
When the two returned to the cellar, the males and females who were incapable of fighting had already hid inside. A Jing was sitting by the fire in the corner with the little bun in his arms, and the other little orcs in the tribe also followed around. Around Ah Jing, Carlo pulled out some small toys for the energetic little orcs to play with. The whole cellar was quiet, and no one made too much noise.
Chen Qi simply told everyone what was going on outside. At this time, several female sons came in. Their families were all in the cellar. At this moment, when there was no need to fight, he nestled beside his family and tried to rest for a while. .
Early the next morning, Chen Qi hurriedly ate something with Aze before dawn, and then went to the ice city wall. Yehuo handed over his son to Carlo to take care of, and went to the conservatory with Ali to feed the animals inside. Add food and add a new charcoal fire to keep the temperature in the conservatory.
The guards on the ice city wall changed a lot, and many orcs took advantage of this moment of tranquility to rest, but A Zhang didn’t sleep a night, just stood quietly beside the city wall, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wearing a white animal skin cloak, A Xu and A Chu squatted on the battlements, staring at the situation outside for a moment, as if to see something through the darkness.
The morning of the first day of the month always came so suddenly. When the darkness was lifted like a curtain, Chen Qi couldn’t help taking a deep breath. He saw that not far from the place where they buried the mines, there were people standing in darkness. Hyena dragons, even the branches of the bare acacia trees that grow around, are also full of pterosaurs, and the number stretches to the point where they disappear, and it seems that there is no end in sight.
As the darkness disappeared, the originally motionless Hyena dragons raised their heads one after another, and the snowflakes that had fallen overnight slipped from their backs. The dragon group came out slowly, it stood at the front, and suddenly let out a howl.
The roar of the beast sounded, the darkness finally completely disappeared, and a new day came.
