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

Add a little flour powder to the pumpkin powder, knead it into dough and put it in a warm place to ferment.

The pumpkins here are not sweet enough, so Jilang plans to make one with a sugar center. He pours half a bowl of white sugar and adds flour to it to prevent the sugar from flowing out or bursting during frying.

In less than half an hour, the dough was fermented. After kneading, it became a small dough. A small hole was pressed in the middle, a spoonful of white sugar was added, and it was pinched and flattened. With the help of Ye and Lan, dozens of small pumpkin cakes were quickly made.

Before frying, Jilang put large pieces of sifted flour on both sides of the pumpkin pancakes instead of breadcrumbs, so that they would look better when fried and taste better.

Because the color of the flour is darker, the fried pumpkin pancakes are not golden yellow, but a little orange. They are soft, sweet and the sweetness of the sugar core is just right. However, they are mixed after all, and you will get sick of them if you eat too much. Ji Lang gave two to each person.

The kids loved this new treat.

Everyone held a hot pumpkin pie in their hands and ate it bite by bite with great care. In the past, Xiaoman ate like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, wolfing it down. Recently, he has gradually changed a lot, although overall he still eats faster than others.

There was still sunshine in the morning, but not long after lunch, the sky became dark again. The heavy snow like goose feathers soon covered the yard that had just been cleaned with a layer of white.

There are also strong winds that blow from time to time.

Such bad weather made Qingjiu and Xishi outside even more worried.

In this exhausting atmosphere, it was soon getting dark.

Guo Qi, who had always been very calm, now went to the outer courtyard from time to time.

The ducks that had originally hid in the snow had returned to the duck pen at some point and were huddled together in the duck coop.

Ji Lang lifted the door curtain from inside the house and saw Guo Qi coming in from the door.

Although I knew the result from his expression, I couldn't help but ask, "You haven't come back yet?"

Guo Qi shook his head and said, "I'll go out and take a look." He didn't just mean going to the outer courtyard, but going up the mountain so he could see farther.

He went into the house and changed into non-slip boots. When Guo Qi went out, the brothers Zhou and Xiaoying followed him and wanted to go together.

Thinking that they wouldn't have to go too far anyway, Guo Qi agreed.

Almost an hour had passed since they left, and neither group of people had returned.

Ji Lang was becoming more and more anxious, and suddenly he seemed to hear a dog barking.

He subconsciously glanced at the three puppies lying next to the stove, then thought that such noise was something that puppies like them could not make, so he quickly slipped off the kang and put on his shoes.

Before I reached the door, I heard another dog barking, very close.

It sounded fine, his voice was loud and clear, revealing a bit of happiness.

He quickly opened the door and turned on the flashlight in the corridor. The gate of the outer courtyard was pushed open from the outside. Liefeng came in first, followed by Qingjiu and Xishi. Xishi was holding something in his hand, but it was dark and he could not see clearly.

After entering the gate, Xishi turned around and pushed the door. Ji Lang thought that Guo Qi and the others were following him, but he saw a small figure slipping in from under the door.

When they approached Ji Lang, they found that the little figure was actually a red panda, and Xishi was also holding a red panda.

The little guy was not afraid at all when he saw Ji Lang, and even came over to rub the fur on Ji Lang's shoes.

It was confirmed that it was one of the two that had been at home before.

"Didn't you meet Guo Qi and the others?" Ji Lang saw Xi Shi close the door just now.

When Qing Jiu heard his words, his thoughts, which had been so cold that he almost lost track of where he was, finally came back to his senses, "I didn't meet him." It was snowing and windy when they were climbing up the mountain. If it weren't for Ji Lang's windshield, they probably wouldn't have been able to open their eyes. Even so, they didn't dare to keep their heads up, and they all lowered their heads to climb up against the wind.

"Liefeng, go find Brother Guo." Qingjiu said to Liefeng who came to the nest as soon as he entered the door. Among the two people and the dog, Liefeng was the happiest one.

Its long legs allow it to move in the snow without any problem, and it is not afraid of the cold. It has had a lot of fun these two days.

Ji Lang walked to the gate again, opened it, and opened a crack to let Liefeng out. Thinking that they would be back soon, he did not close the door, but closed it and went in.

In the doorway, Xishi took out a blanket from the doghouse, wrapped the red panda in his hand, and put it in the doghouse. The other panda that had been following them immediately came over, and Xiao Guazi kept touching the exposed head of the red panda.

Knowing that the two men must be exhausted, Ji Lang did not ask what happened and went into the kitchen to heat up food for them.

After a while, two hungry people sat at the table, drinking hot bone soup and eating pancakes filled with shredded pork and various stir-fried vegetables.

Thinking that Liefeng must have been very tired during his trip, Ji Lang left a bowl of bone soup for him.

Seeing that the two had almost finished eating, Ji Lang asked, "What happened to the two red pandas? Why is one of them motionless? Is it injured?"

Qing Jiu shook his head. "I wasn't injured. I was frozen and buried in the snow. I almost suffocated to death."

In fact, if they had continued at the same speed at the beginning, they would have been able to return before dark. When they passed the bamboo forest, Liefeng, who was originally walking in front and rushing home, suddenly stopped and looked around for a while.

Then it ran into the bamboo forest in one direction, and after a while, the urgent barking of dogs was heard.

Qingjiu and Xishi followed them in quickly, and when they got closer they saw a familiar little guy digging the snow on the ground with great effort. When he heard what Xishi and Qingjiu were doing, he turned around and looked over, his eyes were covered with tears that had frozen into ice.

The little paws continued to dig, making urgent and strange sounds, and Liefeng also followed suit, digging at the thick snow.

The two immediately realized what was buried underneath and hurried to help dig.

After a while, Qing Jiu felt as if his hand had touched something. He quickly reached down and pulled out a frozen red panda.

Xishi came over to take a look, and helped to rub and press the baby. He then held the baby in the thick fur in his arms to warm it for a while. The little guy's stiff body finally softened and slowly warmed up.

It looked like it was holding something in its two confused paws. Xishi opened them and saw a small, fresh bamboo shoot.

I think the two little guys wanted to dig some winter bamboo shoots to eat while the snow was not too thick. As a result, while one of them was digging, the snow above collapsed and buried it, and it couldn't get out. When its companions discovered something was wrong, it had no strength left.

Fortunately, I met Qingjiu and Xishi who came back.

The two thought that Ji Lang liked these two little guys very much, so they thought of taking them back first. These little guys are quite useful. Although they are not very good at digging bamboo shoots, they are very good at finding bamboo shoots. In the future, they can let them take them to dig bamboo shoots.

It is not easy to eat fresh food in the cold season.

While the two of them were rescuing the little panda, the other one was obediently holding Liefeng and standing, looking around constantly, and only felt relieved when he saw his companion finally woke up.

When he saw his friend being taken away, he didn't get anxious and just followed behind obediently.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after the cold season came, these two little guys were almost taken away by the god of death. It is conceivable that after this cold season is over, how many animals and even humans will never wake up again.

Probably because the two little guys were still hungry, Ji Lang cut two pieces of pumpkin and brought them to the doghouse.

The safe little panda poked its head out and took the pumpkin handed to it by Jilang without any hesitation. It was really hungry, so it put one of the pumpkins on its companion's stomach, sat down and started to nibble on the pumpkin in small bites.

The one lying inside also turned over, lay down, placed the pumpkin on its body in front of it, and gnawed it piece by piece.

The fur of these two little guys is almost as thick as Liefeng's, so they can keep out the cold to a certain extent, so Ji Lang doesn't have to worry about them getting cold.

There was a noise outside the door, and Ji Lang hurried to open it.

Guo Qi, A Zhou and Xiao Ying came in with a cold and snowy look on their bodies.

Liefeng followed behind with something in his mouth.

Ji Lang looked closely and saw that it was a rabbit.

These people were holding a few in their hands.

I didn’t expect that after being out for such a while, I would actually gain something.

After the three people went up the mountain, Xiaoying, who had good eyesight, soon saw traces of human footsteps at the foot of the mountain in the distance. Fortunately, it had not been completely covered by the snow, so the three people were relieved. They unexpectedly discovered a nest of snow rabbits. This kind of small animal knows how to hide itself in the cold season. It burrows in the snow and eats the dry grass under the snow.

Other animals may have a hard time surviving the cold season, but this snow hare can reproduce an entire population in one cold season.

Because of their strong survival and reproduction abilities, they are a type of small prey that the tribesmen like to catch in the cold season.

It is bigger than ordinary rabbits and has more fat. Whether it is cooked directly or used for barbecue, it tastes delicious and can fill the stomach. Moreover, when this kind of snow rabbit appears, it means that there must be more than one, or even dozens of big rabbit nests nearby.

Qingjiu and Xishi returned safely, and Guoqi and the others also brought back snow rabbits. This was a series of good news for everyone, and everyone finally put their minds at ease.

However, when Qing Jiu finished talking about what they had discovered inside the cave, the atmosphere became a little solemn.

It's not that they are making a fuss, but they know very well that in the cold season when food is scarce, people can do incredible things in order to get enough food.

Their small tribe has plenty of food, and most of its inhabitants are old and weak. There are only a few of them who can really be considered as fighting force. No matter how strong they are, if they encounter a larger group of people, even if the enemy fights them in a round-robin battle, these few people will be exhausted to death.

Compared with the vicious people like Dayu before, this unknown large tribe made them more worried.

At first, Dayu only had a few people, and they had an absolute advantage in terms of absolute strength and the convenient tools and sharp weapons brought by Jilang.

But now their situation is a bit bad.

If it really was a powerful tribe, Qing Jiu couldn't help but suspect that the other party had actually known about the existence of them for a long time, but in the eyes of those people, they posed no threat and were few in number, so there was no need to worry about them.

But if the tribe behind starts to run short of water and food, they will definitely immediately target Qing Jiu and Ji Lang's group and this small territory as their first choice for invasion.

"Now that we know the existence of that tribe, we must be more careful in the future. If the time comes when we really have to clash with them, don't worry, I will definitely be at the forefront. Don't worry too much, just relax and live our lives well." Guo Qi rarely speaks so much, but his words this time made everyone feel at ease.

"Brother Guo is right. There is no point in worrying too much. We just need to make some preparations in advance. When the time comes for a fight, we won't let them succeed so easily."

Feng still had a somewhat childish boyish voice, but his tone was full of determination.

Everyone was inspired by him and had a greater determination to fight to the death if it really came to that.

Knowing that Qingjiu and Xishi must be tired, no one talked for too long and dispersed after a brief discussion.

After entering the house, Qing Jiu washed his face roughly, pulled open the quilt on the kang and half of his body crawled into it. He was really tired. Last night in the cave, the cave smelled bad and the fire next to it was choking. Even with a sleeping bag, he still couldn't resist the cold. He missed this warm kang very much. When he was in the Taoli tribe before, everyone huddled in a cave, sitting around a fire. Some of the fur on their bodies smelled, but he didn't think it was a big deal.

But last night, he missed the clean smell of Jilang.

What I miss even more is the way this person nestles in my arms, full of dependence.

Now that Liefeng is back, the puppies no longer have to stay in the house. And because there are two new members in the kennel, Jilang goes to help clean up.

Fortunately, Liefeng's cubs and Liefeng's friends get along quite harmoniously. Liefeng lies in the middle of the doghouse, with the cubs nestled in his arms, and the two little pandas sleeping on his warm back.

When I entered the room, I saw Qing Jiu lying on the kang with his head facing inward and his legs hanging down, sleeping.

People who rarely snore can now make light snoring sounds when they sleep.

I'm really exhausted.

The yard was quiet and everyone went back to their houses. When Ji Lang came back, he was still a little worried, but when he saw this man like this, he found it a little funny.

Xiaoman was still squatting on the ground with her butt sticking up, washing her face.

Ji Lang boiled some hot water and went to help Qing Jiu untie his tightly tied shoelaces. The uppers of his shoes were originally covered with a lot of snow, but now some of the snow had melted as they were pressed against the warm kang. Ji Lang's hands were wet while he was helping Qing Jiu take off his shoes.

Thinking about the two days they were away, there must have been times when snow got into their shoes along the way. It makes me sad just thinking about it.

Ji Lang's movement of slippers was not big, but Qing Jiu was a hunter after all, and even if he was tired and fell asleep, he was still subconsciously alert. He woke up when he felt the movement, and sat up with sleepy eyes.

"Go wash up, I'll do it myself." The voice was low and a little hoarse from just waking up. Ji Lang's ears felt numb.
