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

The sudden cry of a wild beast made Ah Hua, who was already unable to sleep, feel very uneasy. She covered her ears and pretended not to hear it, but the sound seemed to be branded into her bones, urging her to take action over and over again.

Thinking about how these people in the yard went to the innermost cave without any prior agreement during the day and talked for a long time, Ah Hua felt very uneasy, fearing that her purpose had been discovered.

But at dinner time, the whole family was still smiling, chatting and eating, there was nothing unusual at all.

The children were taken back to the house by Jilang to eat. Because of this, my son, who originally wanted to play with those little guys, felt a little disappointed.

But this was not unusual, because Ji Lang had stewed bone soup on the stove in the house to nourish the child, so they went to his room. After the meal, Ji Lang also brought a bamboo tube of soup to Abai.

Abai likes this delicious bone soup very much and his face is full of smiles when he drinks it.

Thinking of that scene now, Ah Hua's heart tightens and ache. She did not provide a stable life for the child, and instead asked the child to take risks with her, using the child and Am's identities to arouse the sympathy of these people.

To be on the safe side, Ah Hua did not take any action. The fact that she was sent to do this task showed that she still had some abilities and judgment of her own.

The person who had been waiting in the valley at the foot of the mountain for a long time without hearing any response rubbed his hands that were frozen and numb, resigned himself to his fate and climbed out of the snow, and walked back to his destination with difficulty.

He was cursing quietly all the way.

"Dayan, is your partner going to stop caring about us?" A short man walking behind asked the tall voice walking in front coldly. There was murderous intent in the low and dry voice.

The person in front, who was called Dayan, looked back. Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, the person who asked the question still felt a little scared and took two steps back.

After watching people until they were about to break out in a cold sweat, Dayan slowly spoke, "No, she will help us."

At first, the man probably felt that he was not very powerful, so he said mockingly, "That's right, after all, if she doesn't do something, you won't be able to save your other arm either."

The person in front ignored him and listened for a while to the wolf howls coming from afar. He quickened his pace and walked to the front of the team. Facing the faint light reflected by the white snow, his back could be clearly seen. His left shoulder seemed to have been cut off by something. He had no arm or sleeve, and was just wrapped in fur. The other strong arm hung naturally, tightly holding the cracked bone knife.

He didn't want Ah Hua to do anything, or even to stay in that secure yard with the child. In his current state, even if he survived, he would probably die in a hunt.

It is difficult for people with injured arms to survive, let alone someone like him whose entire arm was chopped off. Fortunately, it is the cold season now, and although the wound has been painful for a long time, it has not become inflamed and caused fever. Recently, it has even begun to itch slightly. He knows that this is the wound slowly healing.

But the arm will never grow back.

In this room, Ji Lang pricked up his ears and listened, but there was no sound.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Is there really any movement? Why didn't I hear anything at all?"

Qing Jiu lay down and helped the two of them pull up the quilt before returning, "There was a very strange beast cry just now, a bit suspicious." But he waited quietly for a long time, and there was no movement in the room next door.

"Is it because Liefeng and the others have been in the yard all the time, and Ah Hua doesn't dare to make any moves?" Ji Lang guessed.

Qing Jiu didn't know if it was because of this reason. Although Liefeng was smart, he still couldn't tell whether this person was good or bad. Moreover, the woman and the child had been there for two days, and Liefeng had already recognized them. Even if she made any movement, as long as it was not too unbelievable, Liefeng would not pay too much attention to it.

"Not necessarily. Maybe she has also noticed our suspicion." Qing Jiu said.

Ji Lang thought about it and felt that it was possible. After all, the people sent to be "undercover" would not be as cowardly and simple as they appeared.

Sigh, what a mess.

Better sleep.

Then he was a little worried, "How are you going to sleep? You won't be able to sleep well all night, and you have to keep paying attention to the noises around you."

"It's okay, go to sleep, I'm going to sleep too." Qing Jiu closed his eyes, thinking that nothing would be unusual tonight.

The voice outside was either conveying some information or urging Ah Hua to act quickly. There was no response tonight, but I believe they will come again soon.

These people are not the kind of people who can wait patiently, and they will soon force Ah Hua to do something.

Ji Lang still can't figure out the weather here. It was windy and snowy yesterday, and the north wind blew for most of the night, but when he woke up in the morning, he actually saw the sun in the yard.

But it was still cold. The sun was shining brightly, but the air seemed even colder.

Ji Lang, who was originally a little greedy for a little sunshine, retracted his head that was sticking out of the curtain and resigned himself to putting on his hat.

He also reminded the two little ones on the kang, "Wear hats and gloves when you go out, it's very cold outside."

After a while, everyone got up one after another, and more people came into the yard.

The three half-grown puppies were jumping around in the snow and playing, forcing Zhou to shovel the snow into messy piles. He was so angry that he chased after the naughty guys with a wooden shovel and spanked them on the buttocks.

But these guys have grown a lot bigger now. When they stand on their hind legs, they are taller than Wudu. Although they did not inherit Liefeng's long legs, they run quite fast. It is difficult for Zhou to catch up with them. He muttered to himself and cursed angrily.

Several children gathered together at the kitchen door to bask in the sun. Although it was cold, they all liked the warm feeling of the sun shining on their bodies.

Abai, who came out with Am, stood beside them, looking at the others' hats and gloves with some envy.

He had only fur to cover his head, and his hands were tucked into his sleeves.

Seeing him like this, Xiaoman took one of her hands out of the thick and warm gloves without any hesitation, and handed it to Abai by the glove string, "Put your hand in, it's very warm."

Abai raised his hand and wanted to take it, but then thought it was not a good idea and shook his head, "I'm not cold, you wear it." The child looked much younger than him and had small hands. What if he got frozen?

Xiaoman did not put his hands into the gloves, but instead pushed his hands against his clothes twice and put his hands into the fur pocket sewn on the clothes.

Abai also looked at his clothes and found such a small pocket on it. He followed Xiaoman's example and put his hand in. It was soft inside, but not very warm.

As if seeing his confusion, Xiaoman smiled and said, "It will warm up after a while."

Ji Lang looked at the friendly Xiaoman, and then thought of the identities of Ahua and Abai. He felt a little uncomfortable and turned his head away, no longer paying attention to what the children were doing.

How could Ah Hua, who had been staring at her child, miss this scene? Her eyes felt a little hot. She lowered her head and touched her son's furry head. The emotions in her eyes became more complicated.

These people, both adults and children, were very friendly, and she really couldn't hurt them.

His hatred towards the leader and Dali grew even stronger. He didn't know where Dayan and the group were hiding in such bad weather, and whether they would be attacked by wolves or other wild animals. When he thought of Dayan's arm, his heart ached uncontrollably. Such a strong man lost an arm, and he was suffering both physically and mentally.

Dayan and Dali grew up together. Although they are not very close, there is some friendship between them. At the beginning, I pushed Dali down outside because it was an impulsive choice made in a hurry. After returning, I found the old lady who treated the wounds in the tribe and exchanged a lot of medicine for Dali. I was wrong to do this. Ah Hua also knew it in her heart. At that time, she was determined to find medicine to save the child and Dayan, and did not want to conflict with these people, but Dali just wanted to take this place completely for himself.

After she returned, she explained everything clearly to the chief, and the chief agreed with her approach. But when she found Dayan holding her son whose fever had subsided, Dayan knelt in front of Dali and the chief. She could only watch as the chief held down the struggling Dayan, and the knife in Dali's hand mercilessly chopped Dayan's left shoulder.

Thinking of that scene, Ah Hua couldn't help but tremble.

Those two hypocritical things actually had the nerve to say that they were giving her a lenient punishment because of her contribution in bringing back the medicines, and that if she didn't occupy this small tribe in front of the tribe this time, they would have killed Dayan and Abai in front of her.

Regardless of whether she can succeed this time, as long as she can survive, she must kill the leader and Dali with her own hands, Ah Hua gritted her teeth and swore secretly.

At the same time, she made a decision in her heart.

After dinner that night, everyone was about to go back to the house. Ah Hua, who was sitting at the table wiping Ah Bai's mouth, suddenly said, "Wait, I have something to say to everyone."

She held the cup in her hand nervously. Because she was holding it too tightly, her fingers turned white and even trembled.

There was a nervous expression on his face, his eyes were red, but his eyes were full of determination.

Abai, who was sitting next to her, seemed to notice Am's nervousness. He stuck to Am helplessly and dared not move.

"Abai and I didn't run away secretly." After saying this, as if she was afraid that these people would get angry, she raised her head and glanced at the person in front of her, then quickly lowered it again, pulling at the soft corner of her clothes.

"It was my partner Dayan who brought a team of twenty people to bring us here. He didn't die, but he was injured and his arm was chopped off. He was very strong, and it was because I pushed too hard that they retaliated against me. It's my fault." Ah Hua could no longer hold back her tears, and they fell down, hitting her clothes.

Abai, who was standing by, quickly used his little hands to wipe the tears from her face, "Amu, don't cry, or you'll freeze."

Ji Lang and Qing Jiu looked at each other. They didn't expect that even though this woman brought back white wine and glucose, her partner would be treated like this.

Ah Hua wiped the tears from her face, hugged her son in her arms, and continued, "Not only did they cut off Dayan's arm, but there were more than a dozen of their people in the team watching Dayan, forcing me to sneak in here and find a suitable time to open your strange door from the inside to facilitate their entry. If I don't do as they say, they will kill Dayan and Ah Bai, so I...I have to come."

"They sent a signal last night, but I didn't dare to move. I know you are very smart and may have noticed my purpose. I chose to tell this story not to take credit, but... they didn't wait for my action last night, and they will come again tonight. If I still don't take action, Dayan will be killed. But you are so kind. You gave us delicious food and a comfortable house. You still doubted us, but you didn't hurt me and the children. I don't want to do anything to let you down."

Everyone was silent, thinking of Uncle Lin's idea. Now that Ah Hua had stated her purpose so frankly, this was also an opportunity for them.

"What do you want by telling this now? Our help?" Qing Jiu asked bluntly.

Ah Hua quickly stood up and waved her hands, "No, I don't want your help, I...I also need your help." She was a little incoherent. "I want you to help me look after Ah Bai for a few days. I want to find Dayan and then bring Dayan back to the tribe for revenge."

Her words surprised Ji Lang.

"How are you going to take revenge? Didn't you say that Dayan's arm was cut off? And you..." He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but everyone understood what he meant. Ah Hua was too thin and weak. How could she defeat those powerful hunters with a one-armed partner?

"Dayan has some very good brothers who were sent out by the leader to find the whereabouts of the tiger. Moreover, there are several people in the team that came out this time who are from the hunting team that Dayan has been leading. We can try to persuade them to go back together. As for the remaining ten or so people, I think I will leave it to you and the wild animals in the mountains to deal with. I also heard that day that the number of wolves here is not small." Ah Hua said expressionlessly. In her eyes, those people were not companions from the same tribe at all, but enemies.

Xi Shi, who had been listening nearby, spoke up at this time, "We can help you take care of your child. Even if you can't come back, I can promise not to hurt him and raise him well, but we also have a request."

Ah Hua looked delighted, "What's your request?"

"You and your partner, take those people and help us deal with the wolf pack in the mountains. We won't ask for too much. Either the wolf pack is dealt with, or those who are not on the same side with you are dealt with. Anyway, this coincides with your plan. I think this is a good deal for you. Also, after you solve the problem of your tribe's separation and take Abai away, I hope we will not interfere with each other from now on. We will not appear on the territory of your tribe, and you should not provoke us again and again. Our tribe is indeed small in number, but you must have obtained some results from your observations in the past two days. Our strength and our weapons are enough to make those who come to offend us never return."

Xi Shi said with certainty that Ah Hua, this woman, looked weak and pitiful, and she had been using this to lower other people's vigilance against her, and even make people feel pity for her. But in fact, she was meticulous and could quickly make the most beneficial choice for her. She only cared about the people she cared about, and whether other people were dead or alive was actually not important to her.
