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

After scooping out the bamboo shoots from the soup, Ji Lang soaked a leavened dough pancake in the soup. The pancake was soaked in the soup and had a sweet taste. Ji Lang was very satisfied with the meal. He was even thinking that the pancake soaked in winter bamboo shoots and fish soup should be passed down from generation to generation and become the first traditional delicacy here, just like mutton soup with steamed buns.

Most of the morning had passed, and there was still no sign of Qingjiu and Xishi. Ji Lang had figured out a new weapon. While eating, he suddenly remembered that he had seen a wooden spear when watching a video before. In fact, it was more like a slingshot than a spear, but it was much more powerful than the small slingshot.

He also keeps the steel balls produced by the bicycle brush, which can be used in the future.

Holding the burnt wooden stick, he drew the shape on the flattened wooden board bit by bit according to the shape he remembered. After all, it was a weapon, and its lethality was no less than that of a slingshot, so it had to be made more delicately.

With something to do, time seemed to be fast-forwarded, and soon, Ji Lang could faintly smell the aroma of cooking meat again.

I stretched my body and prepared to go for lunch.

As soon as he walked into the yard, a small snowball hit him next to him. Ji Lang looked up and saw Qing Jiu, who was covered tightly, standing on it.

His eyes lit up instantly, "You guys are back? Why don't you come down?"

Qing Jiu waved the branches of some unknown tree in his hand, "We cut some branches from thorn trees and used them to surround the area above, so those beasts won't be able to get close."

Ji Lang wanted to continue asking, but thought it would be better not to delay their work. "Hurry up and finish it. Come down to eat. Do you want to help?"

"No need. Go into the kitchen. It's cold outside." It would have been better if Qing Jiu hadn't said it. As soon as Qing Jiu finished speaking, Ji Lang felt a cold air coming up the mountain, and several snowflakes fell on his face. He had just come out of the house and his face was still hot, so the snowflakes melted as soon as they touched his face.

Ji Lang felt like there were ice bars on his face and quickly ran to the kitchen.

Halfway through his run, he heard Zai Sa Shi talking in the house, so he turned around and went into their house.

As soon as the curtain was opened, the children were seen sitting around a small table in front of the stove, scratching their heads. Guo Qi was sitting opposite them, tossing chess pieces in his hand. Sa Shi was sitting on the kang, with Ahua, Abai and Lan sewing clothes next to him.

If one puts aside all the worries and troubles, this scene really gives Ji Lang the peaceful and tranquil life he longs for.

"It's time to eat, why are you still playing?" Ji Lang said to a few boys who looked aggrieved but unconvinced.

Feng clenched his fists and said unconvincedly, "No, I don't believe that the three of us can't beat Brother Guo alone. Brother Lang, don't you always say that three stinky farts are better than one pig brother?"

Ji Lang knocked his head, "Nonsense! What a mess! I clearly said that three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. You can't even remember this sentence, and you still want to beat Brother Guo?" Guo Qi's gobang and chess are so good that Ji Lang feels inferior to him, not to mention these little guys whose next move is almost written on their faces. Fortunately, Guo Qi is not interested in checkers, otherwise the three of them would have been abused.

Guo Qi laughs cheerfully and has a calm personality. He is usually like a workhorse at home, doing his work silently. He has little presence, but is very reliable.

Hearing his rare hearty laughter, Lan, who was busy sewing clothes for Ah Hua and Ah Bai, also laughed.

He kicked Guo Qi who was sitting on the wooden stool and said angrily, "Enough, you grown man bullying a few kids."

Guo Qi stood up and said, "Okay, okay, I lose. Let's eat."

I distributed the dried fruits, chestnuts and candies I won to everyone.

The atmosphere among everyone was a little depressing in the morning. Even the children didn't dare to make any noise while playing. That's why Guo Qi thought of taking them out to play, hoping to make everyone feel more relaxed. Now that the goal has been achieved, it's time to end it.

"What? We want to win properly." Feng continued to yell unconvinced. Turning around, he saw Xiaoman and Wu beside him looking at Guo Qi with admiration and respect. Their eyes were full of "So awesome and cool, I want to be like him too."

Feng curled his lips and cursed in his heart, two little traitors!

Chewing the sour and sweet dried fruits in his mouth, he thought, never mind, he had already eaten the dried fruits, so if he lost, he lost. He didn’t want to be allowed to “win”.

Ji Lang then remembered what he was doing when he came in, and quickly said, "Cover your face when you go out. It's so windy that the snow is blowing everywhere."

After everyone had served their meal, Qingjiu and Xishi also came back, both covered in snow.

Ji Lang took a straw brush and brushed the snow off their bodies. He felt a little strange. Why was there snow everywhere? It wasn't snowing. No matter how strong the wind was, it wouldn't blow it like this.

Seeing his confusion, Qing Jiu said softly, "We were afraid of being discovered by the wolves, so we rolled in the snow before setting off."

No wonder then.

Today's lamb ribs were stewed until they were soft and boneless. I don't know if it was because he was hungry or because Ye had improved the cooking method, but Ji Lang always felt that the aroma of the meat was particularly tempting. He couldn't help but ate two big pieces in one breath.

Only then did he have time to look at the other people at the table. Xishi put the bone that Sashi had chewed clean next to him, and put the last bone in his bowl into Sashi's bowl. Li, who was standing next to him, saw this and glared at the two of them unhappily.

Ah Hua sat in the corner gnawing on a bone that Ah Bai had already gnawed. There was no meat on it, but she was reluctant to throw it away. Ah Bai took the two pieces of ribs that Ah Mu had taken from her bowl, and put them back with chopsticks with great effort, "Amu, you eat. I'm full."

Noticing Ji Lang's gaze, the child immediately shrank towards Ahua and dared not speak.

Ah Hua took the bone from her son, but was reluctant to eat it. She tore off the meat bit by bit and put it back into her son's bowl.

Ji Lang sighed in his heart. It seemed like they were just an ordinary mother and son, and even somewhat touching.

At this moment, Ji Lang really wanted to ask Ah Hua what she wanted to do and what her purpose was that made her travel across mountains and rivers to take this risk with a child.

But he knew that he must not ask this question out loud. Not only would he not get an answer, it might even alert the enemy.

Just as he was about to get up and go out for some fresh air, he turned around and saw Qing Jiu looking at him with questioning eyes.

Ji Lang didn't expect that he would be caught while observing secretly, and he scratched his cheek somewhat unnaturally. The meat in Qing Jiu's bowl had been eaten up long ago, and he was now soaking the pancake in the broth.

This way of eating was first proposed by Ji Lang, but now people like Qing Jiu and Guo Qi are the ones who like to eat it this way the most.

After soaking in this way, the tasteless cakes or steamed buns will have a meaty flavor. The more you eat, the more delicious it becomes and the more filling you are.

"Did you find anything when you went out?" Ji Lang asked.

Qing Jiu's hand that was tearing the pancake paused for a moment, as if he was about to say something.

Xi Shi, who was standing by, also heard what Ji Lang said and said, "Let's eat first, and then we can sit together and talk about it."

They usually talked while eating. Ji Lang was slightly stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that it was very likely that they not only discovered information related to the wolf pack, but also about the Baiyun tribe.

Pretending to glance at Ah Hua casually, Ji Lang saw that she and her son were sharing the meat, taking a bite each. There was nothing unusual, so he put his mind at ease.

Not long after the meal, except for Ah Hua and her son who went back to the house to rest, everyone else went to Uncle Lin's house. One reason was that Uncle Lin was a very strong hunter when he was young, and he had much more experience than these people in dealing with wolves or humans. Another reason was that Uncle Lin's house was the farthest from where Ah Hua lived, so he was not afraid of her eavesdropping.

As soon as he entered Uncle Lin's room, Ji Lang shuddered, took the small pot on the stove and took a look, and sure enough, the fire inside had been extinguished long ago.

"Uncle Lin, you have to add firewood to the stove, otherwise the room will always be cold and your body won't be able to bear it." Ji Lang muttered as he took out a lighter to light the stove.

Uncle Lin laughed dryly and sat up. "It's not cold, it's warm on the kang. Why waste firewood?"

Ye heard his father say this as soon as he walked in after cleaning the kitchen. He immediately became anxious, "Father! I clearly put firewood in the stove before I went out, and you secretly put it out!" His smiling face rarely showed a hint of anger, "Don't you know your body? You always cough secretly at night, and I heard it all!" He became excited and even had a bit of crying in his voice.

Uncle Lin looked embarrassed and quickly said, "Don't do this next time. Don't do this again."

"You just know how to fool me." Ye still looked angry.

Ah Zhou, who was standing aside, came to Ye's side at some point and took Ye to sit on the kang. "The kang is quite warm. Feel it. I put some firewood under the kang while you were busy."

Ye touched the place covered by the quilt half-doubtfully, and it was warm.

Uncle Lin scolded with a smile, "You little bastard, I was wondering why you were so hot while sleeping, it turns out you were the one causing all this trouble."

Ji Lang suddenly felt that the atmosphere between Ye and Zhou was weird, a little awkward, and a little sticky.

He nudged Qingjiu, who was silent beside him, with his arm and naturally received a confused look. Ji Lang signaled him with his eyes to look at A Zhou and Xiao Ying.

Qing Jiu turned his head and stared at the two of them. There was nothing there. He didn't know what Ji Lang wanted him to look at, so he turned his gaze to Ji Lang again.

Ji Lang's head had already turned to the side, staring at the stove, which made Qing Jiu even more confused.

If he could see the expression on Ji Lang's face at this moment, he would know how big a roll of his eyes Ji Lang gave him.

They are already an old couple, how come they don't have any tacit understanding at all? When he was asked to see some gossip, this person stared at him so much that he felt embarrassed and could only look away.

After a while, the kang on the floor of the cave, which was originally considered spacious, was already full.

As soon as the children entered the room, they were put on the kang to sit and play. Feng sat on the outermost side on the inner side, with Wu next to him, and Xiaoman and Chuan in the corner. The four of them were sitting together whispering to each other.

The stove in the room had just been lit and it was not very warm yet, so they did not take off their coats but just unbuttoned the front buttons.

They all sat against the wooden frame with quilts covering their legs.

Others who were sitting by the kang or the stove were all enjoying the heat.

The wind outside was blowing harder, and the light snowflakes were brought to my face like small stones, hitting my already numb cheeks even more numbly from the cold.

When everyone was present, Xishi began to talk about everything the two of them had seen today.

During this trip, they not only discovered a pack of wolves, but also other people hiding in the mountains, most likely from the Baiyun tribe.

Moreover, the Baiyun tribe may have encountered a wolf pack last night, and even had a conflict with them.

After Qingjiu and Xishi followed the wolf's bloody paw prints and climbed over two mountains, they saw a very chaotic place at the foot of the mountain.

I walked over to check it out and saw a lot of torn fur, spots of blood, and wolf hair scattered in several places.

Apparently, the wolves encountered some humans who were staying nearby and even had a conflict with them.

The two men followed the blood trail for a distance, and when they could faintly hear the howling of wolves, they stopped moving forward.

But nothing was discovered, and there was no clue as to what had happened between the wolves and the humans who had been in conflict.

Considering that there were only two of them, it would be difficult to return if they were accidentally discovered by the wolves or this group of people, so the two of them returned.

"I counted the paw prints. This wolf pack is larger than the average one, with at least fifteen wolves, and more than half of them are blue wolves. The group of people that clashed with the wolf pack must have no fewer than twenty people, otherwise the two sides would not have been in a stalemate and a simple conflict. One side would definitely have suffered casualties, but in fact only some people or wolves were injured, and no corpses were seen. This shows that they are all afraid of each other." Xi Shi analyzed. This is a good thing for them, but of course it could also be worse.

"If there is a conflict between the two parties, there will definitely be more conflicts between them, and people and wolves will be injured or killed. Then we just need to sit back and watch the fight. By then, they will both lose and we will benefit. But if the two parties finally conclude that they are not easy to mess with each other and turn around to target us, a more vulnerable group, then this will be a bad thing for us."

Shrugging, Xi Shi continued, "We are not afraid, after all, our gate is strong, we live in a cave, and we have enough food. Even if we don't go out during the whole winter season, we won't starve to death. So I guess that this woman, Ah Hua, was sent by the other party to help them open the door."

"What are you waiting for? Get these two out now!" Feng shouted.

Xishi knocked on the forehead of this impatient brother and said, "What are you yelling about? You kicked her out. Who knows where they are hiding and coming to disgust us from time to time?" This brother's temperament, perhaps because Sashi has been with him for a long time, has become more and more like Sashi's impatient temper and he doesn't use his brain at all.

It would be better to put a fruit on your shoulders.
