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

Ji Lang always felt that this man's smile meant that he had finally grown his brain. He pretended not to understand, turned over and lay down, looking at the traces left on the top of the cave when the cave was dug. "Then tell me what loopholes there are."

"Not to mention how far the Baiyun tribe is from here, even the journey from the Tiger Cave back here, she couldn't have made it here safely with the child in her arms. And if her partner was really dead, it's impossible that she was the only one locked up. Every tribe, especially at night in the cold season, must be guarded. She couldn't have escaped by herself, let alone with a child." Qing didn't think of believing this woman from beginning to end, but she was a woman who traveled through mountains and rivers with a child to give them the news. If this was true, it would be easy to be moving, but this was the most suspicious thing about Ah Hua and her son.

Ji Lang sighed quietly, "Hey, why do these people have to make such a fuss? I just want to live a good life." Originally, I thought that with the arrival of the cold season, there would be plenty of food and no need to worry about heating. Everyone could finally spend the winter in peace. But these troubles came one after another.

"Then do you think we made a mistake by keeping Ah Hua and the other two?" If he really came with a purpose, then it would not be good news for them. This person has been with them every day, and after a long time, it is inevitable that he will be negligent sometimes.

Qing Jiu was also preparing to wash up and go to bed. He came over and rubbed Ji Lang's cheek with his hand, "It will be easier to control her if we keep her under our noses."

Ji Lang pushed his hand away in disgust, "Why are you touching something without washing your hands? It smells like wood."

But he couldn't push away this pair of strong hands. After being touched on the cheek and head, Ji Lang felt very comfortable. He liked the feeling of having his hair touched.

Feeling safe and secure, his restless heart gradually calmed down.

"Brother Qing, are you giving Brother Lang a massage?" Wu suddenly asked.

He had seen Xishi giving Sashi a massage several times, and after each massage, the cursing Sashi would calm down, as if he really enjoyed the feeling. He had always thought that only people with children needed massages, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, he saw Qingjiu rubbing Jilang's head. Jilang looked very comfortable, "I want to try a massage, too." The usually silent child became curious about something.

"Then I want one too." Xiaoman didn't know what massage was, but he just wanted to participate.

Soon, Ji Lang fell asleep, and the two children were still rubbing their heads, puzzled as to why Brother Lang/Father looked like he was enjoying such a painful thing.

After helping himself solve a small problem, Qing Jiu crawled into bed and fell asleep while hugging Ji Lang.

It was late at night, and Ji Lang, who usually had a good sleep quality and rarely got up at night, was suddenly awakened for some reason.

I opened my eyes drowsily, and after my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I saw that the person next to me had woken up at some point and was now kneeling by the window.

Noticing that Ji Lang had woken up, he turned around and asked quietly, "Did I wake you up?"

Ji Lang shook his head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"There's movement." Qing Jiu said.

Ji Lang's heart skipped a beat. "Is it Ah Hua? Or someone from the Baiyun tribe?"

Qing Jiu raised his hand and pointed above the cave, "No, it's coming from above. There are wild animals, several of them." As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Lang also heard the noise.

It wasn't the sound from above, but the low humming sound coming from the side of the doorway, which was threatening and intimidating.

Several half-grown puppies followed suit and made the same sound.

Ji Lang couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard this. "Liefeng and the others should be okay, right? Do you want to go out and take a look?"

"It's okay. Those wild animals can't get in, so it's not appropriate to go out now." Qing Jiu thought of waiting a little longer. If these things still stayed there and didn't leave, then they would have to go out and take a look.

After a while, there was a faint sound of something running above the cave, and then it soon became quiet.

The two held their breath and waited for a moment, and there seemed to be no sound.

Just as Ji Lang was about to speak, he heard a wolf howl, followed by a series of wolf howls one after another.

It sounds like he has run far away and is not nearby.

But the howling attracted the three dogs, one big and one small, in the yard to bark for most of the night.

Ji Lang couldn't sleep because of the noise and could only think wildly in his mind. Well, the trouble with the Baiyun tribe over there hasn't been solved yet, and the wolves are coming again.

This winter season is much more exciting than he had imagined.

Suddenly, Ji Lang thought of a possibility, and immediately turned around and asked the person lying next to him, "Do you think this pack of wolves was brought by Liefeng's husband?"

Otherwise, how could it be possible to find this place so accurately.

Maybe he was holding a grudge against these people and was forced to leave. Now that he has his own wolf pack, he immediately came back to take revenge.

If it's true, this wolf cub is also a ruthless character, and it's been less than half a year.

Qing Jiu also thought of it, "It's very likely." If it was really that wolf, then there was an even worse thing. After they burned Dayu and the others in the wolf's den, they felt that the smell was too strong and were afraid of attracting some troublesome wild animals, so they took some effort to dig some soil and fill the wolf's den.

......

If the wolf comes back and can't find the den, and can tell from the surroundings of the den that it was Qing Jiu and the others who did it, then all the new and old grudges will be mixed together.

Even Xiaoman, whose sleep quality was so good that Jilang was amazed, woke up to the sound of dogs barking. Confused and at a loss, she groped for Jilang's quilt in the dark, trying to find Jilang's big hand to hold on to, as if that would make her feel safe.

Noticing the child's movements, Ji Lang reached out and carried him and his quilt into his own bed, "What's wrong? Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

Xiaoman replied in a low voice, "No." There was a strong sense of sleepiness in her voice, "What happened to Liefeng and the others?" They were still calling in the middle of the night.

Ji Lang didn't want him to worry about not being able to sleep, "Maybe he saw some small animals outside." He reached out to cover his ears, "Go to sleep, it's still early."

After a while, Xiaoman fell asleep again.

Wu, who was at the innermost, turned over. He had woken up a long time ago and heard the conversation between Ji Lang and Qing Jiu. He knew that the people outside were a pack of wolves, but he didn't understand what "Liefeng's husband" meant. He wanted to ask Ji Lang, but he thought it was better to go to bed in the middle of the night. He kept guessing the meaning of the word in his little head and slowly fell asleep.

Ji Lang rubbed his head. It was already dawn when he fell asleep. It felt like he didn’t sleep for long before he woke up. He felt something on his mind and didn’t sleep well.

When I got out of the yard, several people were already standing by the doorway, talking.

"Fortunately, Ji Lang built a very solid gate for the outer courtyard, otherwise the sheep and ducks raised outside would have been bullied by these beasts."

"I heard a lot of noise, it shouldn't be a small wolf pack."

"There must be about ten of them."

"Let's go out and take a look at the situation above."

Li saw the pieces of mutton and fish hanging in the yard, and quickly put them all into the pottery kiln.

These foods are rare delicacies for the starving wolves in the cold season. Who knows how many people will covet them if they are hung outside like this.

Xishi and Qingjiu packed up and planned to go out to look for the traces left by the wolves after they left last night to find out their specific whereabouts.

"Be careful, don't get too close. If those beasts notice you, you two will be in danger." Li warned worriedly.

He sighed, "Wolves are so cruel and vengeful. I don't know how long this will take."

Thinking back to the conflict between her tribe and a wolf pack when she was a child, during the warm season, the leader brought hunters to kill many wolf cubs and drove the wolf pack out of the tribe.

But during the cold season, the wolves returned and became even larger.

It is difficult for people to survive in the cold season, but it is just the opposite for wolves. They have thick and warm fur to protect themselves from the cold, and sharp claws to grip the ground and prevent slipping.

She was still a child at that time, and she didn't really know what happened.

All I remember is that hunters from the entire tribe took bone knives to kill wolves.

Many people never came back, and many people were seriously injured and eventually died.

That winter, the tribe had a lot of wolf meat and wolf skins. Although the wolf meat was dry and tough, and had a strong fishy smell, it was very precious to them as they were short of food.

Coupled with the wolf skins which are very effective in keeping out the cold, it was a great harvest for the tribe.

But no one was happy because they lost too much.

Thinking of this, Li felt even more depressed and frightened. There were only a dozen of them now, and even fewer of them could be called real hunters.

The two set off quickly and checked the yard. It didn't snow last night, so the traces left by the wolves were obvious.

They even squatted above the yard and ate a few snow rabbits.

It's like a confident hunter who waits for his poor prey without any pressure, and in his spare time, he can also eat and drink some snacks.

He didn't take this group of people seriously at all.

The group stood in the doorway and talked for a while before they saw Ah Hua and Ah Bai, wearing new clothes, coming out of the cave in an uncomfortable manner.

When he saw everyone, he paused and gave a half-hearted laugh.

When Lan saw her, her eyes lit up. Ah Hua had changed into new clothes and tidied herself up. Her originally messy hair was carefully combed behind her head. She was wearing a light blue furry down jacket, which made her face look less pale. She looked neat and much more beautiful than last night.

"Why do you get up so early? Let the child sleep a little longer." Lan said with a smile, her voice very cheerful.

Ah Hua looked at her smiling face and lowered her head, "No...I don't want to sleep anymore. I slept very well." She also heard the noise last night, but she was really too tired, and the warm kang was indeed comfortable. She fell asleep again not long after being woken up.

My son didn't even wake up. He must have been exhausted these days.

"Oh, the wolf howling last night scared me so much that I couldn't sleep well for half the night." Li said in a low voice, rubbing his temple.

"Then, Am, eat and then go to sleep."

"Why should I sleep? I don't sleep that much when I'm old. Besides, I have something on my mind, so I can't sleep."

Lan and Li walked into the kitchen while talking.

When they reached the door, Lan turned around and shouted to Ah Hua, "Go inside for a while, it's cold outside."

Ah Hua held Ah Bai's little hand, stood silently in the yard for a while, and then went into the house.

Abai sat on the warm kang, looked at Am who looked worried, and asked, "Am, what's wrong with you? Don't you like it here?" He liked this place very much. He could eat well and it was warm. Everyone was very friendly. Even if there were a few people with expressionless faces, they would not yell and curse like those people in the tribe.

"How could that be? Am likes it here very much." This place is good, too good, so good that she can't go and hurt these people as originally planned, but...but what about her man? He is still waiting for her.

Ji Lang returned to the room. Xiaoman and Wu were both sitting on the kang and getting dressed. Their faces were red from sleeping. Ji Lang took out a thermos and poured a cup of mint water into each of their small bamboo cups. "Drink some to moisten your throat." The kang was hot, and their throats were dry after a night's sleep, which could easily cause them to get irritated.

The two boys took the cups of water and drank obediently. Wu handed the empty cup in his hand to Ji Lang and asked, "Brother Lang, what is husband?" After thinking for a long time and still unable to figure it out, he decided to ask Ji Lang.

Hearing this question, Ji Lang's face instantly turned red, and all he could think of was "It's over, it's over. If the kids hear me making trouble at night, I will be ashamed to live like this."

Then he thought, that's not right, Wu just came to sleep last night, he didn't spend time with Qing Jiu, he quickly patted his throbbing heart, "How do you know this word?"

"You told Brother Qing about Liefeng's husband last night." The child said as he got off the kang. He was tall enough, so he scooped hot water from the pot on the stove to wash himself.

"Oh, husband means partner. The father of Da Mao, Er Mao and San Mao is a wolf. I talked to your brother Qing about whether there is their father among this group of wolves." Ji Lang said.

"Be careful, stand further away, don't get burned." Qing Jiu lit the stove as soon as he woke up, and the fire was burning brightly.

Xiaoman put on her clothes and didn't get off the kang first. She came over like a little dumpling, stuck to Ji Lang who was sitting on the edge of the kang, and grinned foolishly.

Ji Lang likes this kind of unconditional trust and dependence the most. "Silly boy, what are you laughing at?"

I pinched the child's chubby face. It felt nice and smooth, not dry or chapped.

"I'm happy to see my father." The little guy came closer.

"You are such a sweet talker." She patted his little butt.

I held Xiaoman and placed him on a wooden stool on the ground, and the child put on his shoes obediently.

The three of them slowly tidied themselves up in the room, and breakfast was already ready.

The milky white fish soup was added with fresh winter bamboo shoots, which were so delicious that Ji Lang wanted to bite his tongue.

Not to mention Ah Hua and Ah Bai, who had never tasted such delicious fish soup before. They were a little timid at first and didn’t quite let go. But after drinking two sips, they forgot everything and started to concentrate on eating.
