Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

There are not many things that A Zhang left in the tribe. In addition to the things from Ali's house, the three of them have already moved them after two trips. After moving things, A Zhang plans to go hunting in the forest. Moving, the previous prey was enough for him and Carlo to spend the winter. Although he himself felt that it would not hinder the hunting, everyone was not at ease. In the end, only Azer decided to follow A Zhang.

Loya Forest is not like the Dora Plain, most of the plants will wither in winter. Except for some wild fruits that are easy to freeze, the forest is basically the same as usual except for some snow, and it still maintains a lush scene. .

Azer came to the forest not to hunt, but to pick wild fruits and vegetables. The cabbage that was picked up before had already been eaten. Because of making meat porridge every morning, there were not many rice berries left. This time, I brought several animal skin backpacks out, intending to fill them all up and tie them together to carry them back. This method can only be done by strong females like them.

"Uncle A Zhang, is that an Antelope Dragon?" A Ze was squatting on a tall branch and asked A Zhang next to him softly. They were looking for the Dolphin Dragon. It's been almost a month since winter entered. The hungry predators here have begun to expand their range beyond the forest.

Don't look at the huge size of the dolphin dragon, but it is actually very courageous. As soon as it hears any movement, it will spread its hooves and run wildly. The running dolphin dragon has a huge impact, and even the females have to suffer a lot when they are attacked from the front. , so when hunting the dolphin dragon, it is mostly first to confirm the approximate range of activities of the dolphin dragon, then hide in the tree and wait for the dolphin dragon to enter the attacking distance, and subdue the dolphin dragon before it starts to escape.

A Zhang looked in the direction of A Ze's finger. There was a small pool there. The middle of the pool had begun to freeze. There was only a gap on the side of the pool where you could see the gurgling water under the ice. The tall creature with giant antlers was standing leisurely by the water pool drinking water. When Ah Zhang looked over, the creature just looked up, and there was a little streamer in its beautiful green eyes.

Antelope is quite far away from the two of them. Just like the cheetah is the king of speed on the Dora Plain, the antelope is also the king of speed in the Loya Forest. Moreover, the antelope cannot only run at full speed for tens of seconds like the cheetah. Instantly increases the speed to the highest, and can keep running at the highest speed until it escapes the attack range of the predator.

"It found us." A Zhang shook his head. Orcs also hunt antelopes, but only if they're close enough that they don't see them.

A Ze thought for a while, and said to A Zhang. He left first and then quickly jumped off the tree trunk. He did not walk to the pool where Linglong was, but ran in the opposite direction and out of Linglong's line of sight. Just turned the corner and went back a long way.

Antelopes have a weakness, that is, they are so confident in their speed that they often miss the best chance to escape.

The Antelope by the pool found the orcs on the tree and just glanced at it lightly, then lowered its head and continued to drink the water leisurely. This distance was enough for it to escape when the orcs jumped down, so it did not Fear.

After a while, the water sources in the forest except for the Sanchen River and its three tributaries will start to freeze. The Linglong needs to try to replenish enough water before the water sources are frozen. After all, the Sanchen River has already been eaten by those ferocious predators. The predators occupied it, and the Antelope Dragon, a creature with only speed and no offensive power, would undoubtedly become someone else’s food as long as it was near the Sanchen River.

Aze quietly crouched in a tall grass beside the pool. His movements were very light, and he could easily approach the prey without making any movements and being discovered by the other party, but Linglong was too alert, so he did not dare to rely too much on it. Nearly, I plan to wait for Linglong to leave the water pool after drinking water before starting action.

Linglong drank very slowly. Aze squatted for more than ten minutes before seeing Linglong leave. The direction it left happened to be the tall grass here.

Aze breathed lightly, his muscles were tense, his fingernails were completely beast-like, and he quietly waited for Antelope to come.

The Antelope clearly did not realize that it was in danger. It walked leisurely, its head with beautiful giant antlers raised high, and it planned to find a place with abundant grass to have a good meal.

When Linglong was at the shortest distance from the tall grass, Aze suddenly jumped out, one turned over and rode on the back of Linglong, holding the horn of Linglong with one hand and the other fingers together, the sharp nails easily cut the soft neck of Linglong, and his feet The snow was quickly dyed red.

The Antelope neighed and struggled a few times, and its fingernails cut its throat. It didn't take long for the tall body of the Antelope to fall to the snow, smashing snowflakes on the ground.

When Azhang came over, Aze was using snow to clean the blood stains on his hands. Azhang looked at the fallen antelope and had to admire Aze's hunting speed, "Let's go here first for today's hunting, we're done picking. Ye Guo will go back early."

Azer nodded.

Because the hunting ended early, the two came back earlier. The gate on the ice fence was opened a lot to facilitate the transportation of the giant prey. Chen Qi made two wooden gates, one closed at ordinary times, and the other when the hunting came back. The gate will be fully opened only for large prey.

Before A Ze could reach the door of the house, he heard a burst of cheers coming from inside. He looked at A Zhang suspiciously, and put a few full animal skin backpacks on his back into the yard. Only then did A Zhang open the door and enter the house.

"Chen Qi, is this my name?" Carlo asked excitedly, holding a piece of bamboo.

Chen Qi nodded and handed a piece of bamboo with the word gram written on it to Ake next to him. Bamboo pieces were baked overnight. Except for a few pieces that were placed too close to the fire and burned a little, the other bamboo pieces were baked very well. A few orcs also polished it very carefully last night. The surface of the film is extremely smooth. Chen Qi simply made a brush out of wool, and he couldn't wait to try the effects of these props. This is the scene.

"What are you doing? I heard your voices from far away." Ah Zhang asked with a loud laugh as he walked over.

Ali handed him a piece of bamboo with the Chinese character "Zhang" written on it, "Chen Qi helped us write our name, and this word is your name." Ali shook the bamboo piece in his hand again, "Look, it's my name. are different."

Orcs have no words. They can understand numbers and understand some complex words, but there are no written records. For thousands of years, they have all transmitted information by word of mouth.

"Name?" A Zhang looked at his bamboo piece, and then at the bamboo piece in A Li's hand. There were some black crooked marks on it. A Zhang couldn't understand the text, so he looked at Chen Qi suspiciously.

Chen Qi touched his nose a little embarrassedly. He only grabbed a brush in art class when he was a child, and never studied it systematically, so the words he wrote were a little crooked, and he couldn't bear to look directly at him. Only people like Carlo who have never seen words can be so excited about their own writing.

"This is a character, and what you are holding in your hand is a character that has the same pronunciation as your name."

A Zhang curiously looked at the bamboo piece in his hand and asked, "What's the use of this text?"

"You can record it. Even if you forget what you wrote down, you can read it back no matter how long it takes you to write it down." Chen Qi explained.

"Can you read this text?" A Zhang asked.

Chen Qi nodded, if he couldn't read it, how could he possibly write it down. However, considering that they were seeing words for the first time, they explained: "There are many such things as words, and each word is different and represents different meanings. They can also be combined with other words to form One sentence." Chen Qi handed the first piece of bamboo he wrote at the beginning to A Ze who was behind, then picked up the brush and wrote four words on another piece of bamboo. "For example, the name of A Ze, I only wrote the word Ze on this piece of bamboo, and it only represents the name of A Ze. On this piece of bamboo, I wrote Wen Run and Ze." Chen Qi looked at A Ze and smiled Laughing, "Although there is the word Ze on it, it is not just a name, but another meaning."

A Ze's hand holding the bamboo piece clenched tightly, "Which word is your name?"

Chen Qi was stunned for a while, then bent down and wrote his name on another piece of Hsinchu, and handed it to A Ze, "The above is the word Chen, and the one below is the word Kai, these two words are my name."

A-Zhang held the bamboo slice and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he asked, "Can you teach me this character?"

"Do you want to learn?" Actually, Chen Qi knew that when they didn't have words, he thought about whether to teach A Ze literacy, but he had been busy preparing for winter and didn't have time. He didn't expect A Zhang to be there. When I saw the text, I was moved to the idea of ​​learning.

A Zhang nodded solemnly, "In the past, many things were passed down orally by the elderly, and their memory was not clear, and many of the things they said were inaccurate. I will forget, and I am not afraid of making mistakes.”

Chen Qi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that A Zhang had already started to think about this kind of thing. No wonder he was someone who could become the chief of the tribe. "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Chen Qi, can we also learn?" Ali asked.

"That's right, Ake and I also want to learn." Carlo said anxiously with his hands up.

"Ouch." The little wolf cub nestled in Ajing's palm and found that the crowd around him shouted, and Chen Qi turned his head just to see Ajing's burning gaze.

Chen Qi smiled and looked at Aze next to him, "Do you want to learn Azer too?"

A Ze, who was staring at the bamboo piece with the words Chen Qi written on it, heard the question and raised his head, "I want to learn."

"Okay." Chen Qi clapped his hands, "Then I will teach you how to write tonight. Let's learn to write your names in the first lesson."

Everyone cheered. In order to celebrate being able to learn to write, Ali and Carlo directly took over the task of cooking tonight. Aze handed the warm and moist bamboo slice to Azhang and Ake when they were dealing with the prey. In front of Chen Qi, he asked, "What do these four words mean?"

Chen Qi smiled, stretched out his hand to hold A Ze's hand holding the bamboo piece, and said softly: "In the past, gentlemen were more virtuous than jade, gentle and lustrous, and benevolent."
