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

But he was afraid that he would add fuel to the fire. Sa Shi would treat everyone to dog meat tomorrow. He was not really stupid. Sa Shi's face looked like he was determined to have a hunting feast this time, which was too obvious.

Sa Shi waved his hand and said, "Go to bed early." He took the burn ointment and found a place to sit down.

Liefeng, ah Liefeng, you can't blame me for this. I have pleaded for you, but it may not work.

Ji Lang brushed off the sawdust on his body and went into the tent muttering to himself.

Qingjiu and Xiaoman both lay down, leaving the middle seat empty for him.

Xiaoman fell asleep after lying down with a long sigh of comfort. The child now sleeps very soundly. Sometimes Ji Lang and Qing Jiu could not help making a fuss in the tent, but he would sleep with only a small snore.

The warm body next to him came up and hugged Ji Lang. It was a little hot, but Ji Lang didn't want to push it away. Instead, he adjusted his position and found a comfortable position to hug the other person back.

"Hey, do you think Sa Shi will accidentally hurt Lie Feng?" Ji Lang was still a little worried. This girl was a hot-tempered girl, hot-tempered, impatient, and very strong. If she couldn't control her strength, Lie Feng would not be her match.

Qing Jiu pressed the restless little head against his chest, "Don't worry, she's not that ignorant. Lie Feng has been too much lately, being lazy and stealing food, and not going out hunting properly. He really needs to be punished."

The vibration of his chest while he spoke made Jilang's heart and body feel numb, he really liked this feeling.

"Maybe it's because it's too comfortable here, and Liefeng has become lazy." Ji Lang yawned and continued. He got up early and went to bed late these days. He didn't even have time to take a nap at noon. He couldn't help feeling sleepy as soon as his head touched the pillow.

"Well, don't think about Liefeng, go to sleep." Qingjiu kissed the top of Ji Lang's head and patted Ji Lang's back to coax him to sleep. After a good night's sleep, Ji Lang seemed to hear Liefeng's screams in a daze, and the next second his ears were covered by a pair of big hands, and then he was pulled into a dream again.

After a good sleep, Ji Lang came out of the tent, stretching.

Liefeng didn't lie under the big tree in the distance, but lay next to Jilang's tent. When Jilang came out, it stood up whimpering, and staggered a little when it stood up. It rubbed over and grabbed Jilang's trouser leg and started humming.

Ji Lang checked and found that the wound on his buttocks had been treated with medicine, but there were a few more marks on his hind legs and head.

"Don't steal food in the future, okay? You have to follow my instructions and work hard. You'll learn your lesson only if you get a beating." He stroked its big head as if to comfort it.

As luck would have it, he touched the place where Liefeng was hit.

"Ouch~" Another scream.

Sa Shi, who was waiting to catch up on his sleep after having breakfast, asked, "What are you yelling about? Are you going to get beaten again?"

Liefeng immediately lowered his head and ran away with his tail between his legs, without complaining or acting coquettishly.

It's just a lonely and helpless little dog, no one cares about it at all, woooo... Today it's a miserable little dog that has been abandoned by the whole world and can only hide alone to lick its wounds.

Jilang smiled and shook his head, then went to look at the dried meat in the earthen oven.

It's finally completely dry and hard. It should be able to be stored for a long time in the jar.

This is great. Whenever you hunt for meat that you can't eat, you can roast it and store it. It can be used as a snack and can also be saved for the cold season.

And in the future, I will really have the opportunity to come into contact with people from other tribes, and I can exchange dried meat with them for other things.

The jerky is now successful. Ji Lang counted on his fingers and said that there are "strong men" like Qingjiu to dig the kiln, Lan and Ye to make clothes, and Li leads the way to collect mushrooms and wild vegetables. He doesn't have to worry about these things.

He now has two important things on hand. One is to quickly make some usable wooden barrels, and the other is to transplant the pepper seedlings.

Especially after the pepper seedlings are transplanted, they have to be watered immediately. Relying solely on water from dozens of mineral water bottles to irrigate the fields would probably tire these people to death.

The bucket of gum sap that was resealed has been left to air for a day and a night, and it should be usable.

After finishing breakfast, Ji Lang went to try it out and poured nearly twenty bottles of mineral water into it. This not-so-big wooden barrel was only seven-tenths full, and it was tightly sealed without any signs of leakage.

When resealing the barrel with gum sap yesterday, Jilang installed a handle on the originally bare barrel, nailed it down, and reinforced it with gum sap. The barrel he is making now may be used for a long time in the future, so it must be made sturdy.

He walked around with the half-bucket of water and found that there was no problem. Qingjiu and Guoqi had gone to dig the kiln, and Sashi had been guarding the kiln all night and was now catching up on sleep. There was no way to find a "strong man" to help him test whether his handle was strong or not. However, Ji Lang was still worried that they would accidentally break the bucket that he had made with so much trouble.

Apart from being a little rough and not smooth enough, this barrel is now very successful.

After all, Ji Lang didn't have any professional carpentry tools, so he was content with what he had achieved. He used sandpaper to polish every wooden board that he had sawed with great effort, just to ensure that as little sawdust as possible was mixed into the water.

Although Ji Lang wanted to make a few more buckets to fetch water, his pepper seedlings could no longer wait.

There was no other way, Ji Lang could only transplant the pepper seedlings first. He dug out the pepper seedlings that grew together with their roots, without shaking off the soil on the roots. He dug a small hole about 20 to 30 centimeters apart for each plant and buried the seeds with the roots and soil in it.

Jilang and Xishi spent the entire afternoon taking turns fetching water from the creek to water the pepper and potato seedlings.

This stream flows down from the lake in the mountain, just a few minutes away from where Jilang and his team camped. The water flow is very small, so they seldom go here to fetch water.

However, it is unrealistic to carry a big bucket up the mountain and then bring another bucket of water back down the mountain to irrigate the fields. Ji Lang would have to lie down after running for a day.

In the following days, Jilang began to cut wooden boards, polish them, make barrels, apply glue and sap, dry them, test them, and add glue to the leaking ones.

After ten days or so, they had more than a dozen barrels of various sizes.

The largest bucket is as high as an adult's belly. This bucket made by Jilang has a large diameter and no handle. It is equipped with a wooden board as a lid and is placed in the camp specifically for storing the water brought back.

The smallest bucket is only knee-high, and it is very convenient to carry a bucket of water for cooking, washing dishes, or washing your face.

These days, Ji Lang not only made buckets, but also took the time to make a few shoulder poles. When he was a child, he often played with his grandfather's shoulder pole at home and was scolded every time because of the saying in the village that children who carried a shoulder pole would be crushed and would not grow tall. However, it seems now that this saying is not true.

Making a shoulder pole is relatively simple, but the most difficult thing is that the shoulder poles for carrying water that he saw when he was a child all had iron chains hanging at both ends, and under the iron chain was a very strong iron hook.

He had no chain, and could not get a hook.

After worrying for two days, Ji Lang gave up using the chain and instead fixed two strong ropes at both ends of the carrying pole, which worked as a makeshift solution.

In addition to the wooden barrel and shoulder pole, everyone had a set of comfortable and well-fitting clothes and a pair of shoes in these ten days.

Lan and Ye even learned how to sew simple patterns on the clothes without any instruction, so that it was easy to distinguish whose clothes belonged to whom.

Moreover, it is easy to make shoes smaller, but Qingjiu, Guoqi, and even Sasashi Xishi's feet are bigger than Jilang's, but they can still be modified to fit.

Ji Lang was very surprised and asked Lan, only to find out that it was Li who came up with the idea of ​​using the collected gum sap to make soles. After the gum sap dries, it becomes wear-resistant. They also imitated Ji Lang's soles to make anti-slip patterns, and filled in the insufficient parts of the uppers with animal skins, and then sewed the soles and the uppers tightly with linen thread, making them very sturdy.

Everyone was very satisfied after receiving the clothes and shoes, especially Feng. She couldn't hide her emotions on her face and her facial features almost popped up when she was happy.

Even Wu, who was usually taciturn and expressionless, was smiling.

Wu is a very opinionated child. According to Jilang's idea, since he is still so young, he doesn't need to go out and can just take Xiaoman and Chuan to play. However, this child will always go out with them, pick some wild vegetables and fruits by himself, and occasionally bring back wild animals.

Ji Lang loved and worried about him, and spent half a day making a set of small bow and arrow suitable for him. Wu liked it very much and carried it with him all the time except when he slept.

The next day after everyone received new clothes and shoes, except Qingjiu and Xiaoman who lived in the same tent with Jilang, everyone still wore the same animal skins.

???

"Why don't you wear new clothes?" Ji Lang asked Feng.

Feng looked at Ji Lang innocently, "I'm afraid it might get damaged."

……

"If you break it, you can always do it again."

After much persuasion, they finally put them on.

But... why do you have to wear animal skins outside? Aren't you hot? !

The soil here is very dense, and we had to go out hunting and gathering from time to time, so it took almost a month to dig the two yards inside and outside.

The flat area in the outer courtyard is very large, which can be used to grow vegetables or store firewood. The entrance and exit passage is on the west side, about two meters wide and three meters high.

Walking out, there is a very steep cliff, and all the excavated soil was poured to the bottom of the cliff.

Ji Lang planned to cut some bamboos to build a bamboo wall. There was a large bamboo forest nearby. Most of the bamboos there were as thick as bowls. Ji Lang had seen them when he went to fetch water.

At that time, we decided to make good use of these bamboos.

The yard was dug, so the group of people no longer had to live in the wild. Ji Lang called Qing Jiu over, because the dug pit needed to be left to air for about three days to allow the ground to dry and become firmer. These days, Qing Jiu and his group stayed in the camp and occasionally went out hunting. They had been digging for more than a month and were indeed tired.

Qing Jiu stopped weaving the straw sandals and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you say we should move to the outer courtyard? It's relatively safer there. You still have to dig a cave in the inner courtyard, and it might not be convenient to live in it because it's all filled with dirt. But let's clean up the outer courtyard today and clear the dirt. It should be habitable there." Ji Lang said.

Qing Jiu thought about it and decided that it was possible. "Okay, I'll go down and talk to them later."

Ji Lang pointed at the straw sandals in his hand and said, "Didn't Sister Lan make new shoes for you? Why are you still wearing straw sandals?"

Qing Jiu leaned over and quickly sucked on the man's lips, "I'm used to wearing straw sandals. They are comfortable in the warm season. I'll wear new shoes when the weather gets colder."

Ji Lang was a little panicked by his sneak attack. He looked around like a little squirrel. Fortunately, no one noticed them. "Just talk, be serious, don't make trouble."

"We are a couple, it's natural for me to kiss you, why is it not proper?" Qing Jiu asked with a smile.

"What do you mean by becoming a couple? Do you know that in our place, becoming a couple is not just a matter of saying two sentences? Hey, in your tribe before, did you just say it to become a partner?" Ji Lang was still a little curious as he spoke.

Qing Jiu was silent for a while, "Generally, men will give prey and furs to women. If the woman accepts, she will go to the chief to have him witness it, and the deal is done. There's nothing special about it. How is it in your place?" Thinking about it, he and Ji Lang were together naturally. He did not give this man the proper protection. In fact, this man has been helping him and his family all the time. He should have been given a ceremony.

"In our place..." Ah, he knew that normal couples would date, propose, and get married, but the problem was that he and Qingjiu were considered homosexuals, which he had never experienced. "Uh... It doesn't seem to be anything special, just giving each other gifts and flowers?" This question really stumped him.
