Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains (Completed)

Chapter 19

"Azer, can you help me break the tip of this bone?" Back in the front room, Chen Qi said to Azer who had put a bundle of new firewood in the corner.

Aze took it and compared the length, "Is it okay to come here?"

"Okay." Chen Qi nodded. A Ze clenched his fingers hard and broke his bones.

The broken part of the bone was quite flat, Chen Qi rubbed it, and the contact surface was a little rough. "It would be nice if I could find a grindstone." You don't need to worry about hurting yourself when you grind it.

"Millstone? Do you mean the black stone you asked me to look for in the Chishui River?" When fetching water at noon, Aze wanted to wander around the Chishui River to see if there was any kind of stone that Chen Qi needed. As a result, after hearing Ake talk about Chen Qi's encounter with a vulture in the morning, he was worried and came back in a hurry.

"Well." Chen Qi shook the other two bones in his hand, "If these two bones can be polished with a grindstone, they should be as sharp as Carlo's bone knife."

A Ze was silent for a while, "I'll go to Chishui River to find it, Chen Qi, just stay at home and don't go anywhere."

"Well, the salt has been used up, I will filter the remaining salt stones." Chen Qi nodded and replied.

Aze hurriedly turned out the remaining salt stones, and piled the water from the two large clay pots that Ake had brought back by the fire. Aze knew that refining salt was a very time-consuming thing, so Chen Qi also Not going anywhere.

After watching Chen Qi melt a piece of salt stone into the water in a small pottery plate, Aze left. After walking a distance in the direction of Chishui River, he suddenly turned around and ran quickly in the other direction.

After Chen Qi melted a piece of salt rock, he found a small branch and folded it into an oval shape, intending to make a simple filter. Use the roots of the banyan tree to fix the shape of the twig, take out the piece of cloth that has been cut by Chen Qi, compare the size on the branch, cut out the appropriate shape, and tie the roots to the quilt. On the small bone needles that were simply treated, a small cloth bag was sewn on the branch. For better filtering effect, Chen Qi sewed two layers.

After finishing, filter the melted brine several times, and then put it on the fire and bake it slowly. Re-burning the salt was a time-consuming task, and Chen Qi didn't want to stay there while he was waiting.

Chen Qi picked almost all the dandelions growing on both sides of the trench. Although he used a handful to make two dishes before, there were still a lot of them left. Carefully plucked the flowers, washed them a little in clean water, removed some dirt and grass clippings, found a relatively large leaf, and spread the flowers on it. It was the hottest time of the day outside, so Chen Qi cleared out a small space beside the door, and put the leaves with flowers on the ground to dry. In the future, these flowers can be used as materials for scented tea, so that there is no need to drink boiled water every day. . The rest of the whole dandelion is piled up in the corner, and I plan to use it for cooking at night and tomorrow.

The golden needle flower in the pocket may have been squeezed for too long and a little embarrassing. I forgot to ask Aze if there was any problem with this thing, but Chen Qi was not in a hurry, and put the golden needle flower in the water once. On one side, I plan to wait for Azer to come back and ask again.

There are a lot of animal skins in the Aze family. Chen Qi picked it up and found a gray-brown animal skin that looks a bit like cowhide. The animal skin is very tough and light. Chen Qi planned to use it to sew a backpack. It was too troublesome to always use the whole animal skin to pack things, and it would scatter all over the floor if he was not careful.
