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

They made the choice to give the medicine, and the Baiyun tribe might eventually appreciate their kindness and be willing to get along with them in a friendly manner, but perhaps they would think that Qingjiu and his people were afraid and backed down, then they would most likely intensify their plundering and invasion.

"Don't panic, everyone. I just observed their weapons and tools. They are very different from ours. Besides, our gate is strong enough. Even if they come in large numbers, we can teach them a lesson with the convenience of bows and arrows." Xiaoying said angrily. Just now when he was outside, if he had not been told not to be fatal, he would have wanted to shoot an arrow into the throat of that Dali.

Too arrogant, it's annoying to look at him, he deserved to be thrown so badly.

Ah Zhou also said, "Yes, we should not panic. They have more people, but they don't know us well enough. They will look down on us and think that we are easy to bully because we are few in number. When a conflict really breaks out, we may not be at a disadvantage."

Ji Lang felt complicated after hearing this. When the two brothers first came here, he always felt that they would bring trouble to the whole family, but now he has a mysterious confidence in them.

In order to prevent the tragedy of the Snow Mountain Tribe from happening again, Xiaoying and Zhou began patrolling the mountains every day, getting up early and patrolling before dinner, and they were very diligent and responsible.

Sometimes it was just the two brothers, and sometimes there were others.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Dinner was not ready yet, so Jilang and Xishi sat in the house playing chess.

He is no match for Xishi now. He thinks three steps ahead before taking one step, while Ji Lang takes on as many opponents as he can.

There was no choice. Qingjiu followed Guo Qidu and the Zhou brothers out. The only one left at home who could play with Xishi for a while was Ji Lang.

So even though Xi Shi was disgusted and Ji Lang was unwilling, the two of them still played two rounds quickly. Each time, Ji Lang was put in check without knowing it, and every step of his retreat was blocked.

Why is there such a big gap between people? Ji Lang secretly sighed in his heart, but his face still showed an expression of not admitting defeat, "Come again!"

If you feel that it is not fun, you might as well play some Gobang. Xishi: OK, this is what they call the more you fail, the more courageous you become.

While he was placing the chess pieces, he heard three familiar knocks on the door. Ji Lang immediately stood up, patted his butt, and said, "I'll go open the door." He ran away very quickly.

Xi Shi smiled helplessly. Ji Lang sometimes really has the mentality of a child.

When Ji Lang opened the door, he was stunned. In addition to the snow rabbit that was brought back from time to time, they actually brought back two people today.

It was a woman, and she had a child about the same age as Wu.

Ji Lang, who had never seen this woman, naturally didn't know that this was the woman who took away the white wine and glucose from them more than 20 days ago.

The woman had a miserable look on her face and was very thin. There was even blood on her forehead, as if it was a wound from a bump. She was holding a half-grown child who was already unconscious.

Although he had never seen him before, Ji Lang could guess that he was from the Baiyun tribe.

He couldn't help but take a step back, frowning and asking, "What's going on?"

Before Qing Jiu and Guo Qi could say anything, the woman suddenly knelt down on her knees and said, "Please, Master Priest, take me and my child in. We have been driven out of the Baiyun Tribe and have nowhere to go."

What is the meaning of offering sacrifices to them and what is the meaning of taking them in? Ji Lang was completely confused.

He looked at the four people standing next to him with doubt, his eyes full of questions. The four people scratched their brows guiltily. It was okay for this woman, but she also had a child. They really couldn't be cruel and ignore her.

"Let's go in first." Ji Lang made way for the door to let these people in. After watching Liefeng come in with two little pandas, Ji Lang bolted the door.

He turned around and saw the woman holding the child staring at him. When their eyes met, the woman immediately lowered her head, huddled into a ball, trying to lower her presence.

The meal in the kitchen was ready. The tempting smell of meat seemed to have life, constantly entering everyone's nose, and even making everyone's stomach rumble.

Ji Lang, who originally wanted to ask what was going on in the doorway, sighed when he saw everyone's throats rolling from swallowing saliva and the children murmuring because of the aroma of mutton, and said, "Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish eating."

After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Didn't you have an infectious disease last time? Are you recovered?" He didn't want to be wiped out by the plague because of his kindness.

"I'm not infected, and Abai has recovered a long time ago, so don't worry." The woman's voice sounded weak. If Ji Lang had seen her turning someone over and pressing him on her body, shouting at the top of her lungs, he would definitely not believe that this was the same person.

Finally, to be on the safe side, they let her and the child eat in the pottery kiln next door. Ji Lang followed them, asked questions while eating, and finally found out what was going on.

The woman's name was Ahua, and the child she was carrying was her only son, Abai.

It turned out that after Ah Hua and a group of people who supported her took the lead, they got the medicine and hurried back to the tribe.

Their tribe was not as close as she had imagined. In the snowy winter, it took at least three to four days to walk there. When she finally returned to the tribe, she was told that her partner had died of illness and her child was dying.

People in the tribe were in a panic. Some said that those who went out must have been eaten by the big tiger in the tiger cave. Others said that they did not get medicine but were killed by those people instead.

The leader followed her instructions and separated the sick people from the healthy ones, and used the glucose and white wine given by Jilang. After ten days or so, some people finally recovered.

Even the weak Abai woke up.

This is great news for the tribe.

However, at this time, Dali and the chief's youngest son Shitou began to persuade the chief to attack Qingjiu and his men, because they saw a lot of firewood and noodles, and heard the calls of sheep and ducks. They knew that Qingjiu and his men had a lot of food and powerful sacrifices.

They not only wanted to steal food, but also wanted to steal sacrifices.

When Ah Hua heard the news, she immediately went to find the chief and tried to dissuade him from the idea. However, because Ah Hua's partner, the captain of the tribe's hunting team and the strongest hunter, died in the epidemic, the chief's attitude changed from his previous kind one, and Ah Hua felt that she had never seen through this person before.

The leader even ordered her and Abai to be locked up.

They didn't give her food to eat or firewood to keep her warm, just wanting to let her fend for herself.

Ah Hua knew that since her partner was dead, she could not fulfill the promise she made. The leader was now fearless and did not take her seriously at all. During the two days of being imprisoned, she and Ah Bai relied on snow dug out from the cracks in the cave to fill their stomachs.

Finally, one night, one of her partner's former best brothers came and released her, gave her some bacon and dried vegetables, and told her to run away with her child. She might be able to survive outside, but in the tribe, someone would soon come and kill both mother and child.

Ah Hua had almost no hesitation and immediately followed the road to find Ji Lang and the others.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any danger along the way. After all, both she and her son were very weak, and her son had just recovered from his illness.

She wanted to tell these people who saved her son's life that danger was coming.

This is exactly why Qingjiu and Guoqi decided to bring her back.

After hearing this, Ji Lang was silent for a moment and asked, "How many hunters are there in the Baiyun tribe?"

"There are more than eighty young ones, and dozens of older ones, but still capable of fighting." Ah Hua said.

Ji Lang frowned slightly. With so many people, if a fight breaks out, Qing Jiu and the others would be exhausted to death.

"Did they say when they would come?" Ji Lang asked again.

Ah Hua shook his head, and was worried that Ji Lang thought he was useless, so he said, "It shouldn't be fast. There are still some people in the tribe who haven't recovered yet, and our tribe is in a bit of trouble right now."

Ji Lang was curious, "What trouble?"

Ah Hua paused for a moment and said, "There is a tiger cave near the Baiyun tribe and your territory. There is a big tiger in it. It gave birth to tiger cubs before the windy season. The people of the tribe accidentally discovered the big tiger and its three cubs while they were out on patrol. After going back to discuss with the leader, a group of people went to the tiger cave and killed the three tiger cubs while the big tiger was not there." Seeing the shock and confusion on Ji Lang's face, Ah Hua explained, "There is nothing we can do about it. When the tiger cubs grow up, they will be hunted. There are many people in the Baiyun tribe, so they will definitely be hunted. We

...We also solved our own worries. But how could the big tiger give up? It attacked the hunting team several times, and several people died. Later, everyone was much more careful when going out. But, that guy was very cunning. It attacked the tribe and ate the children of the tribe. The second time, it even dragged away two children from the tribe. The leader decided that he couldn't let it go like this, so he organized a team to kill it. It was too strong, and finally got injured and escaped. But almost all the people who went there died, except one who was thrown against the wall and fainted. When he woke up, he found that he was bitten by a rat. The other teammates were all dead, so he returned to the tribe with a serious injury to report the news. "

It sounds like this tiger and the Baiyun tribe are at war to the death.

This was good news for Ji Lang and his companions. With this big tiger around, the leader of the Baiyun tribe probably wouldn't dare to let all the hunters come here. This also helped to reduce a lot of pressure on Ji Lang and his companions. For the first time, Ji Lang hoped in his heart that a wild beast could live a little longer.

The cave that Xishi and Qingjiu went to last time should be the tiger cave that Ah Hua mentioned.

No wonder the people from the Baiyun tribe said when they came last time that they also went to the Tiger Cave but nothing happened. It turned out that the person contracted the plague in the Tiger Cave.

The child in Ah Hua's arms woke up slowly when he smelled the food.

He was a poor child. He had just recovered from an illness and was still very weak, so he was locked in a cave without a fire and frozen for several days. Although he was protected by his mother along the way, he didn't even have a hot meal. He was lucky to be able to breathe again here.

Ah Hua carefully fed him two mouthfuls of hot broth. Although the child was weak, he had been hungry for a long time and swallowed subconsciously.

Ji Lang didn't bother the mother and son anymore and got up and went to the kitchen.

Everyone was still sitting in the kitchen, listening to Ji Lang's story of how the mother and son came here.

Li sighed, "They are pitiful. Let them have a good rest for a night. Then, Xishi, take Feng and Wu to squeeze in with A Zhou and the others, and let them sleep in your room first." When they were building the kang, they took into account that other people might join them later, so the kang was built quite large. If they squeezed together, three adults and two children could sleep on it.

Ji Lang said quickly, "Let Wu sleep in our room. It's just right for him to keep Xiao Man company, and it won't be so crowded."

Everyone knows that when Li saw the mother and son, she thought of herself raising several children alone. At the beginning, she had Guo and Qing to help her. Only Sa and Wu were a little younger, but this woman, with such a young child, was not strong enough herself.

"Mom, what is this? Why is it so warm?" Abai asked Ahua while lying in the warm quilt and touching the warm kang.

There was curiosity and joy on the little face, but except that his face was still pale and his lips were bloodless, he was no different from Wu and the others.

Ah Hua carefully touched the soft quilt covering her body, as well as the two sets of clothes that Lan brought to her with a smile, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that this small tribe was rich in resources, but she never expected that these people would be willing to give such good things to her and Abai.

The food they ate and the things they used today were all things they had never touched before. Although Ji Lang denied and emphasized several times that he was not a priest, Ah Hua knew in her heart that his status in this tribe was definitely not lower than that of any priest in any other tribe.

Everyone looked at him when making a decision.

Ah Bai, who was standing next to him, had fallen into a deep sleep during the short moment when Ah Hua was daydreaming. He had not slept so comfortably and peacefully for a long time.

Ah Hua reached out and touched her son's frostbitten face. Before going to bed, Lan had given him some badger oil. After applying the badger oil, his little face didn't look so dry and felt soft to the touch.

Looking at this face that was extremely similar to her partner, Ah Hua became more determined. She turned around, turned off the flashlight on the wall, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Ji Lang, who was in the next room, helped the two children to press down the thick quilt and then got into bed.

Qing Jiu was still sharpening arrows below. The arrival of those people from the Baiyun tribe last time and the words of Ahua and her son today made him realize more clearly that sooner or later, there would be a war that he would have to fight with the Baiyun tribe.

So he wanted to sharpen more arrows and leave them for Jilang and these half-grown children to use for self-defense.

Ji Lang lay in the bed and asked Qing Jiu in a low voice, "Do you believe what Ah Hua said?" He always felt something was weird. The woman looked extremely weak, but she could bring a child with an unwell child across the snow-capped mountains and come here safely. It was very suspicious. Although they took him in temporarily, Ji Lang was still skeptical in his heart.

Qing Jiu stopped what he was doing, looked into Ji Lang's eyes, and smiled, "Her words are full of loopholes."
