Traveling through the primitive world: I was a priest in the tribe

After a long time, Xiaoman had already fallen asleep and was carried back to the room by Ji Lang and put on the kang.

Until Ji Lang felt that the air around him had become a little cold and his eyes were too dry to open. He seemed to hear a dog barking and was suddenly awakened. He thought he was too sleepy and had fallen asleep and was dreaming, but Guo Qi, who was standing by the doorway, had already stood up and walked out.

While I was still in a daze, everyone in the yard became excited.

"It's back, it's back!"

"You're really back? I thought I heard it wrong."

……

Most of the hunters were out, with only a few left in the tribe. So for the convenience of protection, everyone was now in their yard. Most of the cubs were asleep, in the caves and in the tents. The few who were originally asleep in the yard were also woken up, rubbing their eyes and looking sleepily at the adults who were rushing out in a hurry.

When Ji Lang followed out a little late, he could already see the lights flashing from time to time at the foot of the mountain. Qing Jiu was a cautious person, and he did not turn on the flashlight until he returned to an absolutely safe place. Instead, he walked back under the moonlight. He turned on the flashlight only when he reached the foot of the mountain and knew that someone at home would be worried.

Originally he thought that he had chased them a little far, and after dealing with the apes who tried to escape and reuniting with Xishi, he wanted to stay in the cave outside for one night and come back at dawn. However, looking at Da Mao in Xishi's arms, breathing more than he breathed in, with blood still oozing from the corners of his mouth, he decided to come back first. If he came back earlier, Da Mao might still be saved.

Only Sa Shi led a small team of people to chase the ape-man who fell off the cliff last, and Liefeng who fell down with the ape-man.

Ji Lang stroked the big fur that was twitching. Seeing it in so much pain, he felt bad.

"How did he get so badly injured? And what about Liefeng? Why didn't he come back? Did something happen to him too?"

Xishi sighed and told everyone what happened in the cave.

After Qing Jiu and his men left, they checked at the edge of the cliff for a long time, and only after confirming that the fire below was out did they start planning to go into the cave.

There were several apes, which must have been injured. Xishi could feel that they were still alive, but had little ability to move. So he tied a rope and went down first. After making sure that no apes came to attack him, he asked the people above to tie up two dogs and let them down. The cave was quite deep, and the dogs were smart and could help with the exploration.

After a team of people came down, they first observed the outside of the cave and found seven or eight apes lying on the ground motionless. To be on the safe side, Xishi didn't dare to let everyone go up and check directly, but went to finish them off one by one.

But when it came to the last two, the ape that was originally in the corner suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the hunters at the back of the team. Da Mao who was following beside him immediately rushed up and bit the ape's arm, but the guy was so strong that he pinched Ermao's mouth and threw him off. He threw Da Mao to the ground in anger and he fell twice. Liefeng roared and pounced on him and bit the other thigh, but was also thrown off. The hunters reacted quickly and surrounded him with knives and rescued Ermao.

But the ape-man seemed not afraid of being injured, and angrily broke up the team's formation, rushed to the edge of the cliff and quickly climbed down along the vines. Liefeng, who was originally thrown down, rolled on the ground, got up and rushed out, jumped onto the ape-man and bit him desperately. The ape-man was already injured, and Liefeng's strength should not be underestimated when he was at full strength. He was distracted by tearing Liefeng and didn't notice that the crack in the vine suddenly broke. Then the ape-man and the dog fell off the cliff.

They went down the mountain and searched for a long time. There were many broken branches at the foot of the mountain, but they did not find the ape-man and Liefeng. They thought that they were hit by the branches when they fell and did not suffer fatal injuries.

I don’t know whether it was the ape-man chasing Liefeng or Liefeng chasing the ape-man. Anyway, neither of them could be found.

Although the traces were obvious, it was too late. In addition, Damao was injured, so Xishi wanted to bring Damao back first. He happened to hear the noise of Qingjiu and the others coming back. After the two teams met, Qingjiu asked Sashi to take their team to chase them.

There were also a few people in Qingjiu's team who were injured in the fight with the apes, so they had to come back quickly to clean up.

Ji Lang was silent for a while after hearing this. He didn't know what would happen to Liefeng after he fell off the cliff after Damao was in such a state. He opened his mouth but was about to speak when he suddenly felt his hanging hand being held by a warm little hand.

It’s Xiaoman. I don’t know when this child woke up and came out.

"Father..." Xiaoman said, stroking Damao's ear with his other hand, "What's wrong with Damao?"

Ji Lang squatted down and hugged him, "Da Mao is injured, let's go first and let Grandma Xue treat his injuries, okay?"

Xiaoman agreed and walked aside obediently to make room for Grandma Xue. Grandma Xue had actually checked Damao a long time ago. The dog's leg had not healed well to begin with, and now it was broken again. Not only the leg bone, but also several ribs were broken, and it might even have injured its internal organs. There were blood clots in the vomited blood, and it was very likely that its internal organs were also shattered. It was hard to say whether it could survive now.

Grandma Xue also checked the other injured people and made sure they were not seriously ill. Then she told them how to treat their wounds and what medicines to take. Then she started to clean up Damao and feed him medicine.

Everyone else went back, leaving only Ji Lang and Qing Jiu and a few others around.

The moonlight was very bright. Ji Lang saw the blood on Qing Jiu's face and called someone to come and wipe it off. However, the blood had already dried and was difficult to wipe off. Qing Jiu's face was a little painful from his wipes.

He reached out and grabbed the hand off his face, "It's okay, this is the blood of the ape, I'm not injured, it's dried and can't be wiped off, I'll just wash it off later."

Ji Lang murmured "hmm" and leaned on him, "Thank you for your hard work."

Qing Jiu didn't say anything. He didn't think it was hard, and he felt that he had not done it well. He originally told Ji Lang confidently not to worry, but not only were some people in their team injured, Damao was also seriously injured, and even Liefeng hadn't come back yet.

But he was not the kind of person who would dwell on trivial matters. He knew that no matter when he was in the Taoli tribe or in the current Taotie tribe, casualties were inevitable when surviving in such a harsh environment. He could only try his best to protect himself, but he could not ensure 100% safety.

Several people were quiet, squatting on the ground, watching Grandma Xue treating Damao, and lending a hand from time to time.

Even the usually noisy Ermao and Sanmao were now quiet, squatting on one side with their ears erect, as if they knew that Liefeng was not around and that their responsibility was to be alert to unknown dangers.

After more than half an hour, Grandma Xue wiped her hands, stood up and warned, "Don't feed it water for the next two days. Forget it. If you don't mind, I'll keep the dog with me. I'll observe it. If it suddenly becomes abnormal, I can give it the right medicine."

Several people quickly agreed.

Xishi found a wooden board, and he and Qingjiu carried Damao over. Ji Lang took Xiaoman back to the house. His hands were stained with some of Damao's blood, and he wanted to wash them, so he let Xiaoman sleep on the kang first while he fetched water to wash his hands, so that Qingjiu could wash when he came back.

But when he washed his hands and was about to wipe them, he suddenly found Xiaoman curled up on the kang with his back to him, his little body shaking. When he got closer, he saw that the little guy had tears on his face and was hiccuping because of crying.

It's really amazing. He cried like that without making any sound. Ji Lang even admired him a little.

"What's wrong? My little baby, why are you crying like this?" In addition to admiration, I also felt a little distressed. It felt like I hadn't seen the little guy crying so sadly for a long time. The first time I saw him, he cried very hard, but that kind of crying was more like a kind of despair and helplessness, but now it was full of sadness.

"Wuwuwu...hiccup... Father, will Damao die? Wuwuwu Liefeng hasn't come back yet, wuwuwu..."

Ji Lang has a lot of things to do, and when he is busy he often spends most of the day immersed in his own world. Xiaoman is close to him, but it must be said that most of the time it is Liefeng who plays with the little ones.

Especially after having the puppies in the cold season, these children cherished these puppies more than the adults. They were either worried that they were hungry or cold. Every day they would take the puppies to the stove to warm them by the fire, just like they were brothers who grew up together. Now, seeing their "good brothers" injured or missing, they felt very sad.
