Chapter 9 Arriving at the Destination
Xia Qi held charcoal in his hand and drew a map on the animal skin. This is what he has been doing since the day the tribe migrated.
For this, he was also rewarded with 100 civilization points, as well as 5 culture points.
According to the custom of the time when he was in the Blue Star, Xia Qi still named the place where the sun rose to the east.
According to the coordinates of this direction, they are currently migrating southward, with a river more than ten meters wide to the west, and plains on the other three sides that cannot be seen as far as the eye can see.
"How long will it take to get to the Gobi you are talking about?" Xia Qi put the map away and turned his head to look at the white sheep beside him.
Aries was a little uncertain and said, "Yes, it should be almost there......"
"That's what you said yesterday." Xia Qi was a little speechless.
Fortunately, Aries didn't make any mistakes this time, and didn't go far, Xia Qi found that the plants on the ground became more and more sparse, and after walking far, a large open Gobi Desert appeared.
It is also strange to say, it stands to reason that the air marks here are mild and moist and close to the river, so it should not form the Gobi.
However, Xia Qi didn't bother to think too much, after all, even gods appeared, and it was somewhat strange to pay attention to science.
When they arrived, the migration of the tribe came to an end. It's just that it's not a good place to set up a camp, so you need to go a little further to find a suitable location.
As Aries said, this Gobi desert is indeed not big, and they only walked for about half a day before they walked out of the Gobi. Instead, there is a dense jungle as far as the eye can see.
Everyone's faces were tired, and the three wolf cubs were already lying on the ground, unwilling to move anymore.
This place is not bad, Xia Qi decided to rest here for one night first.
After a short rest, a group of people went to the shallow waters of the river, and began to fish with stone spears in hand.
It's also funny, the first fish in the tribe was Xia Qi who was tired of eating wolf meat and went to the river to catch it. I don't know what the reason is, but a group of people in the tribe have never eaten fish.
Since then, the people of the tribe have been fond of eating grilled fish, and every time the tribe rests, someone will run into the river with a stone spear to spear fish.
Perhaps because there was no land, and there was no shortage of food and drink, the fish in the river were all fat and strong, and any fish from the table was more than the size of an adult's palm.
Xia Qi did not get involved, but found Bai Aries and asked him carefully about the situation of the Black Stone Tribe.
But what made Xia Qi speechless was that the Aries guy only knew that the Black Stone Tribe was located inside the jungle, and the others didn't know about it. In other words, it is very likely that the Aries did not even see each other's faces, and they were scared to migrate.
If they just stayed here for a while, collected some flint and left, then Xia Qiba would have to make contact with the other tribe, but the problem was that they couldn't keep migrating.
In particular, Xia Qi found that the land here is extremely fertile, the kind that can produce oil in the legend. If you don't use this kind of land to grow something, it's a waste.
Add to that the fact that there are rivers and jungles, so you don't have to worry about water and prey, and it's the perfect settlement.
Xia Qi decided to wait until tomorrow to check on the original settlement of the Aries tribe, and if it was suitable, he would establish the settlement there.
"Patriarch, give."
Xia Qi has a problem, when he thinks about it, he forgets the time, and before he knows it, it gets dark. It wasn't until Wu Yi came to him with a grilled fish that he came back to his senses.
"Thank you."
Xia Qi took the grilled fish in Wu Yi's hand, but only ate the fattest and delicate part of the fish belly, and he fed the rest to the three little wolf cubs.
Wu Yi didn't say anything when he saw this, turned around and brought him another grilled fish. Everyone is already surprised by Xia Qi's actions, who makes the family the patriarch, plus there is no shortage of food in the tribe, so he can do it.
It's been a while since I've been in this world, and the most unbearable thing for Xia Qi is not that there are no computer games to play, but the food here.
Without salt, you can imagine the taste of the food. If you want to replenish the trace elements needed by the body, you rely on eating all kinds of animal offal.
In this era, there is almost no entertainment at night, and at the beginning, Xia Qi also made up a large group of people singing and dancing around the bonfire, and it turned out that he thought too much. Everyone is tired all day, how can they still be in the mood to sing and dance.
After Xia Qi arranged his duty at night, he went to sleep.
The next day, Xia Qi woke up under the wake-up service of the three little wolves, and touched the water on his face with his hand at will, which can be regarded as washing his face.
Speaking of which, because of the shortage of trees on the grassland, all the wooden sticks that could be used were used as weapons. So much so that there was not even a tent in the tribe, so Xia Qi had to endure mosquito infestation every day.
In addition, the water by the river is heavy, and every morning when I wake up, my body is covered with dew, and even the time to wash my face is saved.
After eating a barbecue jerky, Xia Qi walked to the front of the crowd and was about to beckon everyone to set off, but found that they all had a look of horror on their faces. Before he could react, a vicious wind appeared in the back of his head.
He didn't have time to think about it, and his body reacted automatically after many days of survival in the wild, and he squatted down to avoid this attack.
"Beasts are looking for death!"
At this moment, the bear not far away burst into a shout, and the stone axe in his hand was thrown by him, hitting his shoulder.
"Whew!!"
The attacker screamed in pain, his body staggered and then quickly got up, and after glancing at Xia Qi and Xiong with a pair of emotionless eyes, he moved his slender limbs and quickly disappeared into the jungle.
The attack lasted for a short time, and the attacker knew how to escape thousands of miles without a single blow, and Xia Qi didn't even have time to see the whole picture.
Is it a tiger, or is it a ......
Thinking of the attacker's yellow pattern, Xia Qi secretly guessed its identity in his heart.
It should be a fierce beast like a leopard, and compared to the tiger, the beast just now is a little smaller.
I just don't know if it's just passing by or if it's been planned for a long time.
The former is fine, but if it's the latter, it's a bit bad. This kind of cat is notoriously vindictive, but I'm afraid that it will hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity, which is a bit bad.
"Patriarch, are you alright?"
Seeing that the people in the tribe looked worried, Xia Qi smiled and said, "I'm fine, let's go, I still have to hurry, and try to find a good settlement today." ”
That is to say, but for the rest of the journey, everyone is cautious, for fear that they will be attacked.
Fortunately, until Aries led the group to their former residence, the guy never showed up again.
