Before I entered the house, I saw Lan carrying out two quilts.

"Xiao Lang, I haven't made clothes recently. I was free anyway, so I sewed a few more quilts. I didn't expect to use them now."

Ji Lang laughed out loud, "Great, I was just thinking about bothering you again, but I didn't expect you to have already done it, sister-in-law. You really have foresight."

Lan also laughed heartily. She didn't understand what foresight was, but it was definitely a compliment to her, "It's not a big deal. You can just sit down and get the work done. It's very leisurely and it's also very interesting." She really liked doing needlework, although she was not as good as Ye in terms of novel ideas. Most of the time, Ye would come up with the ideas and she would do the work. But every time she saw that she could make clothes or shoes that everyone liked with such a small thing, she was very happy and felt a sense of accomplishment.

Although there are few people in their family now, there is no shortage of hunters. Due to her physical condition, she is destined not to be a hunter. This situation exists in the tribe. Some of them are not strong enough. Some of them are forced to go hunting, while others ask to go hunting on their own initiative. Most of them end up in a tragic way.

The gathering work didn't matter if she was more or less. During the migration, she was actually worried that she would gradually be abandoned because she was not needed.

But soon Ji Lang took out the clothes and needle and thread and let her take care of it herself.

At the beginning, I was at a loss and didn't know how to start. At the end of the day, I had at least eight or ten small wounds on my hands.

Once you find the trick, you can get the hang of it quickly, and slowly add some of your own ideas.

She liked this matter and was grateful to Ji Lang from the bottom of her heart for entrusting it to her.

The two chatted and laughed as they made the kang. Actually, there was nothing much to lay on, so they just swept the dust off it, spread some hay on the ground, and put two moisture-proof mats and two stacked quilts on top.

Since no one lived in this house at first, Ji Lang didn't put any shelves in it, thinking he would do it when someone lived there in the future. He didn't expect that people would live there so soon.

Ji Lang put the hoe and backpack on the ground in the innermost part. These things cannot be left outside now because the wind is too strong. It would be terrible if they were blown and hit someone.

So the two brothers had no choice but to live in this house full of utensils for the time being.

There is always an unpleasant smell in an uninhabited house. Ji Lang lifted the door curtain and hung it on the wooden door to dissipate the smell.

I just happened to see Xiaoying in the yard, stretching her neck and looking at me curiously.

Ji Lang waved his hand, "Xiaoying, come here."

The somewhat naive Xiaoying ran over obediently.

"You and your brother will live in this room first. It's not cleaned up yet, so just make do with it for a few days. We'll take away everything we need to take away later, and you can put your own things there." After Ji Lang said this, he remembered that when the two men were captured at noon, they only had a long wooden stick and a bone knife with dents on their bodies, except for the fur on their bodies.

......

Xiaoying, who had nothing to put in the cave, looked around curiously and said, "Wow, it's so big, are my brother and I the only ones living here?" This cave is taller than the caves in the tribe where ten or so people live in one cave! It's also bigger!

Lan pointed at the kang and said, "Yes, there are only you and Zhou, and there is no mattress on the kang. I will sew two mattresses for you in the next two days, so you can make do with it for two days."

Xiaoying's attention was diverted by the kang. "Kang? My brother and I sleep on this?" She touched the moisture-proof mat curiously. "What is this?"

He touched the quilt curiously again, "What is this? You have so many amazing things. This one is so soft."

I wanted to touch it again, but then I looked at my fingers that had just been scratched with dirt in the yard and decided not to touch it. I felt that my dirty hands would dirty these magical things.

Lan patiently explained to Xiaoying, "This is a quilt. You can cover yourself with it when you sleep at night so you won't feel cold. The one underneath is a moisture-proof pad. It will also keep you warm when you sleep on it. It won't get damp or cold, and it's clean."

She is an eunuch, and she feels a little pity for this boy who is still a teenager but has experienced so much.

Xiaoying turned her head, her eyes red, and looked at Jilang and Lan seriously, "Thank you for believing in us and giving us a place to stay and delicious food."

After saying this, he probably felt a little embarrassed and ran out.

While running, he was still shouting, "Brother, brother, come and see our cave, there are so many magical things in it." He ran to his brother and reached out to grab his brother's arm.

"Hiss--" Ah Zhou felt a dull pain from the wound on his chest being pulled by him, "If you weren't my brother I would have beaten you up."

Xiaoying realized later that she had hurt her brother, and she thought she was gently stroking the gauze on Zhou's body, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother, I was so excited that I forgot you were still injured." Zhou, who was throbbing with pain, said: .......

He couldn't speak at all. When he gets better, he will let his younger brother have a taste of his invincible fist.

Ji Lang followed and watched the whole process. Well, it can be seen that they are brothers. At least this matter is 100% true.

The wind was strong in the yard, so Ji Lang didn't stay there for long. He didn't feel sleepy just now, but now he suddenly felt a little sleepy.

The three boys on the kang were still sleeping. Ji Lang washed his hands, pulled open Qing Jiu's quilt and crawled in.

It was so warm, and had that familiar smell.

Fell asleep soundly.

The mountains were even quieter at night than during the day, without even the sound of a bird. Xiaoying shuttled through the grass in the mountains like a nimble rabbit, with Xishi and Qingjiu following not far behind.

They didn't turn on the flashlight, and although their eyesight at night was not as good as Xiaoying's, they were able to see some of the situation clearly after adapting to the darkness.

Liefeng followed Qingjiu, stopping from time to time to sniff the grass.

After finding a good place, Xiaoying did not make any sound. Instead, she squatted down, sniffed the surrounding air, and moved her ears to listen to the movements in the distance.

After making sure there were no other problems, he spoke in a low voice, "Let's go here now. There is ventilation everywhere, so the smell can dissipate."

The three of them started digging with the tools in their hands. Since this was not a true worship of the mountain god, they dug the pit a little deeper and then put the sheep's entrails, which were tightly packed in a plastic bag in their hands, to the bottom of the pit.

After putting it away, Qing Jiu took out the pointed bamboo sticks he had sharpened in the afternoon from his backpack and stuck them into the internal organs and the walls of the pit. He thought that if the cannibals couldn't help but dig out the internal organs to eat, with these bamboo sticks, if they accidentally got scratched, the stench of blood would not be able to be covered up, and he could use the smell to find their traces.

The internal organs were buried firmly and stones for worshiping the mountain god were placed on top.

After finishing this place, Xiaoying took the two of them to select three more places and set the same traps.

They were pressed for time. There was not enough time to make a bigger trap, and it would be easily discovered. Now they could only use this small trap to try to lure out those non-human creatures in advance.

There was nothing unusual at first. Liefeng, who had been following them quietly all the way, suddenly called out in the direction of the yard on the mountain.

After shouting, he felt a little confused, as if he had made a mistake. He stopped and sniffed his nose in confusion.

Qing Jiu and Xi Shi looked at each other and said, "Xiao Ying, let's go back."

Several people hurried back.

The outer courtyard was quiet, without any movement. The three people stopped and only their breathing could be heard.

There was no need to worry about alerting the enemy at this point, so Xishi turned on the flashlight.

After checking it carefully, there was nothing wrong, as if the unusual movement of Liefeng just now was just an illusion.

But...can the illusion at this time really be just an illusion?

Qingjiu couldn't convince himself that this was really Liefeng's illusion.

All we can say is that the other party was more cautious and careful, and even the slightest bit of abnormality that Liefeng noticed was immediately covered up.

With the other party using such tactics, Qing Jiu didn't think they would touch the trap they had just set.

The reason they had previously recklessly revealed their tracks and dug out the internal organs buried in the ground was probably because they had no scruples or did not take Xiaoying and Azhou seriously. But the situation was different now. The other party had become serious and was ten thousand times more cautious than usual.

Several people checked the outer courtyard again, but still found nothing.

Then he knocked on the door three times gently.

Guo Qi and A Zhou, who had been guarding the doorway and had heard the noise, quickly opened the door and let them in.

"Is there anything going on? You've been outside for so long?" Guo Qi asked.

Qing Jiu shook his head, and thought about how they couldn't see anything in the dark, "We didn't find anything, but when we were at the bottom of the mountain, Liefeng seemed to have noticed something and called out in the direction of home."

Just outside, Liefeng also looked around inside and outside, up and down a few times, but found nothing.

Guo Qi also fell silent.

I don’t know what methods these guys use to conceal their breath so tightly, and they can even react immediately and cover it up the moment their breath is exposed.

How could it even block my breathing?

A cunning bunch of guys.

It's quite tricky.

With these troubles here, they can't even go out hunting with peace of mind, and the prey they have been eyeing for a long time may run out of the hunting range.

Liefeng, who had run out for a while, didn't care about these people's troubles. He quickly went into the doghouse and licked and rubbed the little cubs.

Everyone was sitting in the dark in the yard, huddled together, with a burning Artemisia braid placed in the middle.

There's no way. Even if everyone is worried to the point of being unable to sit still, that doesn't mean they can just sit there and be bitten by mosquitoes as if nothing happened.

If he didn't light the Artemisia annua, Ji Lang was worried that the whole family would suffer from anemia early the next morning.

The mosquitoes here are no joke.

It is big, with long legs and beak. A bite from it is itchy and painful and won't go away for two days.

Qingjiu looked around and found that everyone was there except Lan, who stayed in the room doing needlework after putting Chuan to sleep.

Even Uncle Lin, who usually fears the wind and goes back to lie down in the house as soon as it gets dark, put on a fur coat and sat in the yard.

He did not hide it from anyone and told everyone about Liefeng's abnormality again.

After finishing speaking, he made a bold guess.

"I think these people are not as simple as Xiaoying and Zhou said. They should have abilities that we don't know about."

Ah Zhou frowned and thought. Logically speaking, they had been tracking them for several months, and these people had also stayed in the tribe for a while. It was impossible that they had some abilities that they had not discovered.

However, the young and energetic Xiaoying was a little impatient. When Qingjiu said this, he always felt that he and his brother were looked down upon. It didn't matter for him, but his brother was so powerful!

"Impossible, they are not as powerful as you think, otherwise it would be impossible for my brother and I to kill three of them." Xiaoying was not convinced. There were only seven people in Dayu's group, and they killed three of them! It was almost half of them. If they were so powerful, how could they be killed by the two of us?

Qing Jiu glanced at him and asked, "Have you cleaned up the bodies of the people you killed?"

Xiaoying was stunned and asked why.

Ah Zhou next to him, however, looked gloomy, and said after a while, "No." They killed people by finding lone people or using traps, and each time they made sure the person was dead before quickly walking away.

Qing Jiu didn't keep everyone on suspense and directly stated his speculation, "Those three people are the food reserves they kept, and so are you two. Now we have joined the group."
