Xiaoying looked over in the direction of the voice and said, "Brother, you're awake, woooo." She was about to cry again.

Feng at the side said with disdain, "Why are you so crybaby? You don't act like a hunter at all."

Xiaoying cried and retorted, "I'm not a hunter yet. Who said that hunters can't cry?" Although crying is a bit embarrassing, he will feel better after he finishes crying, and he can continue to track Dayu and the others.

Zhou, who kind of dislikes his brother: .....

Forget it. I should give my brother some face in front of outsiders. Out of sight, out of mind. Close your eyes quickly.

When Qingjiu came back with hot water and towels, he saw Xiaoying crying while hugging Azhou's arm. The person being hugged had a frown on his face and his eyes closed.

?

This guy is dying just by boiling some water?

Ji Lang took the medical kit that Xiao Man had taken out a long time ago and pulled Xiao Ying away from his brother, "Step aside first, I'll check your brother's injury."

When Xiaoying heard about the need to see the wound, she was delighted. She had never expected that this tiny tribe actually had a priest. It turned out that this strange person was a priest. No wonder he looked so good.

In his understanding, only priests can treat injuries and illnesses.

Of course, he found it incredible later when he found out that this tribe not only had no sacrifices but didn't even have a leader.

Ah Zhou's injury wasn't actually serious, it just hadn't healed completely. Ji Lang took a piece of gauze soaked in white wine and helped him clean the dirt around the wound. He applied some anti-inflammatory powder without showing any mercy, and Ah Zhou shivered in pain.

He bandaged it twice with gauze and said, "Be careful if you're injured. Don't move so violently. This isn't the first time your wound has burst open. Be careful and don't get wet."

Ah Zhou didn't say anything, but the little adaptable person next to him spoke up, "Thank you, Master Priest."

?

What the hell?

Ji Lang was shocked. "What priest?"

Xiaoying also looked puzzled, "You are not a priest? Then why can you heal injuries?"

"Can't you heal injuries if you're not a priest?" Ji Lang was even more confused.

Xiaoying scratched her head, "That's not the case, it's just that only priests do these things..." The more she spoke, the more unsure she felt, and her voice became smaller. After all, the Snow Mountain Tribe was just a small tribe, and there weren't any priests there. She had heard these things from the people in the tribe who went out to exchange salt and medicine.

Just as I was about to say something, my stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound.

Xiaoying looked down at his empty stomach, blaming these people for capturing him and his brother, otherwise he would have been able to eat noodles, fruits and beans in the cave.

Now I’m hungry and thirsty.

Ah Zhou felt a little guilty looking at his younger brother. He had been busy all the way with him and could only occasionally have a full meal. He lived in fear every day and never had a peaceful moment.

Hesitantly he began, "Can you give us some water? We have no ill intentions. We put the stones there just as a reminder. We don't want to see you become like our tribe. Besides, there are only two of us, and we don't want to be your enemy."

Li, who had been standing behind the crowd and looked like he couldn't bear it, went into the kitchen to get them some water. He sighed in his heart as he walked. They still looked like children. What was this all about? It was so hard.

Xi Shi said, "So what are your plans for the future?"

"If you are willing to let us go, we will continue to look for Dayu and the others." Ah Zhou said in a low voice. The hatred between them and Dayu could only be ended with the death of one side.

Ah Zhou wanted to beg these people to take Xiaoying in. Xiaoying's tracking ability and night vision ability would make him a powerful hunter in future hunts, but... the cold season would soon be here. Would these people be willing to share their food with Xiaoying?

Moreover, this request itself should not have been made. These people would certainly doubt their origins and question their purpose.

Li brought two bamboo cups over and said, "Child, drink some water first."

Xiaoying took it and handed a cup to her brother.

It’s a great idea to use bamboo joints to hold water. No one in the tribe would have thought of this before.

Everyone used stone bowls and exchanged ceramic jars. The ceramic jars were not strong at all, and many of them cracked or even broke during the exchange process.

Xi Shi thought for a while, "We can't let you go. According to what you said, Dayu's cannibals should have been keeping an eye on us. Although their whereabouts have disappeared, who knows if they are still hiding in the dark and secretly observing us. And how can we be sure that you are not in the same group? If we let you go and you reunite, it will be troublesome for us."

If Dayu and the others were really keeping an eye on them and knew that Zhou and Xiaoying were captured by them, there would be only two possible results. One is that Zhou and Xiaoying would be killed directly, and the other is that the two sides would cooperate. With powerful hunters like Qingjiu and Guoqi, as well as Zhou and Xiaoying who knew those cannibals very well, it would be a deterrent to Dayu and the others.

"Don't worry, we have no interest in killing or eating human flesh, and you won't starve to death if you stay here," Xi Shi added.

Speaking of starving to death, everyone finally realized that it was time to eat. It was already past dinner time and the rice in the pot was getting cold.

Li and Ye hurried to the kitchen to heat up the rice.

Ji Lang looked at Ah Zhou and Xiao Ying. Both of them had their hair cut short and were not extremely dirty. Only their fur was very black and you couldn't see its original color.

He brought a basin of water over and said, "Wash your hands first and eat."

Xiaoying stupidly put her hand into this thing that she didn't know how it was made so round and smooth, and as brightly colored as leaves. She reacted belatedly, "Eat? Is there food for my brother and me too?" Her stomach also growled.

Ji Lang smiled and said, "Well, we can't let you two starve to death. Besides, you must have seen outside that we have a lot of noodles and fruits, so we are not short of food."

The noodles are mixed with meatballs and dried radish. After being cooked, they are glutinous and soft. After being in the pot for a long time, the flavor of the meatballs has seeped into it, and it has a meaty aroma with its own unique fragrance. The meatballs are mixed with wild onions and diced mushrooms, which are not greasy at all. Even though the radish is dried, it is still crispy after being cooked.

I was really hungry. The food Jilang ate was really delicious. After finishing the meal, I saw the soup left at the bottom of the bowl. I thought it would be nice to have vermicelli. The vermicelli absorbed the soup. Just thinking about the taste made me miss it.

Not to mention the two brothers who had never eaten noodles, fruits and beans like this before and were sometimes hungry and sometimes full.

I didn't want to leave after dinner.

Xiaoying asked his brother in a low voice while eating, "Brother, why do these beans taste like meat? Why don't we have the taste when we cook meat ourselves?"

Ah Zhou wanted to say, "Don't you think about the fact that when we eat noodles, we just put the meat in when it's almost cooked and cook it casually, and then we start eating it before it has time to absorb the flavor. Moreover, they add a lot of other things to the meat, how can it be the same?"

But looking at the half-full bowl of food, I wanted to eat and didn’t want to waste time talking to my brother. “Let’s talk after I finish eating.”

Xiaoying didn't have any self-awareness at all and thought that her brother just wanted her to fill her stomach first. She was silently touched and felt more satisfied after eating.

Fortunately, Li and Ye had cooked more originally. After all, Liefeng now had to raise three cubs, and he didn't have many opportunities to go out hunting, so he would cook a little more for Liefeng when he cooked.

So at noon today, Liefeng not only had his beloved bones split in half, but he also didn't even have lunch.

He watched this group of people enter the kitchen, and no one came out to pour him food for a long time. Unable to bear it any longer, Liefeng paced to the kitchen door.

A group of people sat in the kitchen, each with a bowl of delicious food.

Liefeng got angry for the second time today.

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof, woof~" He didn't go into the kitchen. He knew he would be beaten, so he just barked at the kitchen.

"Oh no, oh no, I forgot about Liefeng's meal." Ji Lang quickly put down the bowl and stood up.

Feng, who was standing beside the pot, looked at Liefeng at the door with a sly smile, then scooped the last spoonful of food into his own bowl.

Ji Lang held his forehead with his hand. What the hell did you do to this unlucky kid?!

Liefeng at the door barked even louder.

"Xiao Lang, give it to Liefeng." Unable to bear it any longer, Li took out two pieces of dried meat from the jar and gave them to Ji Lang.

After getting two pieces of dried meat, Liefeng finally calmed down. He took one and put it in the doghouse, letting the toothless little guys taste it. He squatted outside and ate the remaining one voraciously.

Seeing this, Ji Lang couldn't help but want to nag, "You eat so fast, don't come and scold me when it's gone. Also, you put the dried meat in there, and it made the mat dirty. Now it's cold, I won't wash it for you."

Liefeng didn't care about him and just kept chewing the jerky. It smelled delicious!

After eating and drinking, the group of people gathered in the yard again. Ji Lang sent a few children into the house to play. Otherwise, they kept surrounding him and started asking a hundred thousand questions when they heard unfamiliar terms. Ji Lang really couldn't stand it anymore.

Ah Zhou, who originally didn't know what to do, made a decision immediately after finishing his meal. He wanted to curry favor with this group of people.

"Can you let us stay?" Having made the decision, he did not hesitate and asked directly after everyone sat in the yard.

Xiaoying, who doesn’t know why his brother suddenly changed his mind after having a meal:?

Aren’t we going to fight to the death with Dayu and the others?

Ah Zhou gave Xiaoying a soothing look, and Xiaoying understood and trusted his brother unconditionally.

Everyone in the yard looked at each other. There was a hint of worry in Li's eyes. With these two people, would they not have enough food for the cold season? Although there was still half of the wind season left, they could still prepare some more food.

Qing Jiu spoke up, "We have no reason to keep you. We don't understand you, and we are not afraid of cannibals."

Ah Zhou had expected to be rejected, so he said nonchalantly, "We have been following Dayu and the others for several months. It is too late to rush back to the tribe now. When the cold season comes, we will either freeze to death or be eaten by wild beasts outside. We don't want to live and eat for free. Just give us a cave to live in. Xiaoying and I will take care of Dayu and the others, and you don't have to do anything. Xiaoying and I will catch the prey ourselves and give you half to use in the cave, and we will keep the remaining half for ourselves to get through the cold season. Moreover...even if we can't catch the prey, we can carry back a lot of wheat fruit. The wheat fruit forest is very large, and you can't carry all of it. When the rainy season comes, the wheat fruit will go bad after a few rains."

Qing Jiu looked at everyone, and then followed everyone to look at Ji Lang.

Ji Lang:?

"Just make the decision." Ji Lang looked at Qing Jiu and said. He had no judgment in such a situation and could not act according to his own ideas. He was soft-hearted. If he harmed the whole family, he would never be able to forgive himself.

Qing Jiu nodded slightly and looked at Uncle Lin again.

In fact, according to Uncle Lin, these two people cannot be kept. First, he doesn't know the details and cannot be sure that what these two people say is true. Another thing, from what they said, it seems that they are not going to stay here forever. They are short of people now, but these two people are not here at all. He has to go back eventually.

Uncle Lin did not say anything. Qing Jiu hesitated for a moment and then said, "You can stay. I have a request."

A Zhou and Xiao Ying's eyes lit up, "You say." Ji Lang always felt that these two people only looked intimidating on the outside, but in fact sometimes they were like puppies, especially now.

"When the cold season is over, bring the rest of your tribe here." After Qing Jiu finished speaking, he saw the two people in front of him were shocked, and continued, "You can see that we have a lot of food and clothes, but we are very few. If we want to develop the tribe, we need manpower. We are not taking you in temporarily, but we hope that you can join this tribe."
