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

Fortunately, this is not modern society, and Li is Sashi’s biological mother rather than his mother-in-law. Otherwise, if it were posted online, it would lead to another round of battle between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

Pot after pot of water was boiling in the kitchen. Sometimes the basins that Lan and Li brought over to collect the water were still stained with blood that had not been rinsed off. Ji Lang's heart was pounding when he saw it.

Sitting by the stove and adding firewood, he just moved his frozen feet closer to the fire when the curtain was lifted. Thinking it was Qingjiu waiting in the yard, Ji Lang turned around, but saw Xiaoman, whose clothes were askew, his hair was messy, and he kept rubbing his eyes, followed by Wu, Feng, and Abai.

"Why are you up? It's still early." Ji Lang quickly asked them to come in and stand by the stove to keep warm.

"Father, it's so noisy, I woke up." Xiaoman pouted and said, "Did something happen?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just that Sa Shi is about to give birth." Ji Lang said.

Feng shuddered, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately. "What? My sister-in-law is about to give birth?" He was in the voice change period, and his voice was a little hoarse and cracked after he just woke up.

Without waiting for Ji Lang's answer, he immediately rushed out, wanting to see what was going on in the cave next door.

Ji Lang was so quick that he couldn't stop him even though he wanted to.

However, he was soon scolded back by Xishi with a sneer on his face.

The young man came in with a basin, looking a little aggrieved, and scooped hot water into the basin. "What? Why can't I watch? And my sister-in-law is screaming so loudly. Giving birth is so scary."

Ji Lang was just about to say, "Then you should be considerate of this when you find a partner in the future," but he ended up hearing this unlucky kid say, "I still won't find a woman as a partner in the future. Brother Qing and Brother Lang are pretty good too."

After saying that, he turned around and looked solemnly at the children surrounding Ji Lang, as if he was choosing a wife.

"Xiaoman, you are the most beautiful, you should be my partner." Feng said after reaching his conclusion.

Ji Lang: ...Don’t ask for a beating, kid. My Xiaoman is not even six years old.

Xiaoman:?

"Father, I don't want to be Feng's partner." The child said with a pout, as if he was very dissatisfied with Feng choosing him.

Feng immediately put down the basin in his hand and came over, trying to put his cool hand into Xiaoman's neck to cool him down, "You little brat, you dare to look down on me? I'll teach you a lesson."

Panicked, Xiaoman threw herself on Jilang's back, "Father, save me!"

Just as Ji Lang was about to reach out and hold them together, he suddenly heard a loud baby cry.

I immediately stood up excitedly, "It's born!"

He rushed out in two steps and bumped into Qing Jiu who was outside the door.

"Be careful, there is one more. I'll make another bowl of sugar water for Sa Shi." Qing Jiu supported the staggering Ji Lang and said something.

Ji Lang quickly moved aside and let him enter the kitchen, following Qing Jiu like a puppy, "Have you seen the child? A boy or a girl? How is Sa Shi? Is the child healthy?" Just now, one could still hear some cursing, but why is there no sound now?

"I didn't go in, didn't see the baby, and don't know whether it's a boy or a girl. Am said Sa Shi was tired and needed to rest for a while before giving birth." Qing Jiu answered, but he quickly prepared a bowl of sugar water and told Ji Lang and the children, "It's cold outside, you just stay here. The first one is born, and the second one should be born soon."

After saying that, he hurried out.

Ji Lang raised the corners of his mouth. This man usually kept a low profile and didn't seem to care much about his sister Sa Shi. The two of them even rarely communicated with each other. But at this moment, looking at Qing Jiu's hurried footsteps, one could tell that his heart was far from being as calm as he appeared.

After sitting and waiting for a while, Ji Lang did not dare to stop the fire at the bottom of the pot and kept it burning. When the water in the pot boiled, he added some cold water into the pot and continued to burn it.

There was no movement for such a long time, and Ji Lang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After telling the kids to stay in the kitchen, he walked out.

The sky outside began to brighten slightly. Qing Jiu, Guo Qi and a few others stood in front of the cave nearby, pacing back and forth anxiously, seemingly unaware of the cold at all.

"What's going on?" Ji Lang walked to Qing Jiu.

Qing Jiu shook his head. "The situation is not good. Am said that the second child's feet came out first. There is nothing we can do now. We can only try..."

Before he could finish his words, a scream was heard from inside, followed by the loud wailing of a child.

You can tell from the loudness that it's definitely a biological child.

The little baby who was lying in the corner of the kang when it was first born also started crying.

The two little guys cried one after another, neither of them giving in to the other, but the sound brought smiles to everyone's face in the yard.

Rubbing his frozen cheeks, Guo Qi approached the cave entrance and asked Lan inside, "Are you okay? Is Sa Shi okay?"

Lan came out with a wash basin, also with a smile on her face, "It's nothing, I was exhausted and injured, now I'm resting, the two children are also good, the eldest is a son, the second is a girl, the sister is stronger than the brother."

"Don't gather around, tidy up and go back to the room to rest." Lan felt a little sorry for her husband. It was so cold at night and they had been guarding the door for most of the night. Now their hands were cold.

Several people went into the kitchen together, and Ji Lang followed. As soon as he came in, he said to the curious little ones, "The babies are born! Sa Shi is amazing, a boy and a girl. They will be the youngest in the family from now on. You have to take good care of them, okay?"

The little ones nodded.

Ji Lang suddenly felt a little confused as to why Chuan was missing. He turned to ask Lan who was washing her hands, "Sister Lan, where is Chuan?" He couldn't be sleeping alone in the room. Ji Lang knew that Lan and Guo Qi would definitely not feel comfortable leaving Chuan alone.

"Send him to Uncle Lin's room and let Ye help watch him. He is young and I'm afraid he will be scared." Lan wiped his hands and said this. After all, Chuan was still too young and didn't understand anything. Let him come and watch and listen. The kid wasn't even born yet, but Chuan could already howl several times.

Lan tidied herself up and quickly started to make breakfast. It would be dawn soon anyway, and everyone had been worried and busy all night. Now they were all tired and hungry. It would be more comfortable to have a good breakfast and then go back to rest.

Sa Shi's body needed nourishment after she had just given birth. Ji Lang and Lan discussed it and stewed a pot of duck soup for her.

The ducks raised in the duck pen have grown up a long time ago. They have not eaten well in the past few months and have not grown fat enough, but fortunately they have not gotten sick or starved to death. More than twenty ducks eat a lot every day, so everyone has started eating duck meat recently. We plan to keep about ten of them in the end.

People were reluctant to throw away the feathers shed from the ducks, so they were all packed away carefully. When the weather gets warmer, they will be cleaned and sorted out, and can be made into clothes or quilts.

While two people were busy in the kitchen, in the cave next door, Li and Xishi were replacing the soiled quilt and sheets on the kang with clean ones. Xishi touched the kang and found that the temperature was a little low, so he went to heat it up again.

Sa Shi was lying at the outermost position, the sweat on his face had not yet dried, his hair stuck to his cheeks, and he was sleeping soundly.

Li looked at this usually noisy girl, now in this state, and felt very distressed. He took the towel and helped her clean her face and neck bit by bit.

Sa Shi groaned twice but didn't wake up.

The two little kids were wrapped tightly in the baby swaddling clothes that Lan had specially made for them. They were lying next to Sa Shi and sleeping soundly.

This package was the idea of ​​Jilang. It looks like a small rectangular sleeping bag with sleeves. The child wears a single layer of clothes inside and then snuggles in this small sleeping bag. It is very warm.

Li opened the babies' swaddling clothes and felt them. The diapers of the two little ones were dry and clean. He felt relieved and put the remaining pile of clean diapers on the shelf next to him. When the time comes, no matter whether it is Sa Shi on the kang or the people on the ground, it will be convenient for them to change the kids.

Li touched the soft little diaper with a kind face. Her daughter and her baby were lucky. They had such good things to use since they were born, and there were enough of them. It was not like when she was taking care of her children before, she had to use a piece of fur that was dirty beyond recognition as a pad for the children. There was no other way. It could not be dried after washing in the cold season, and the children suffered more. She just cleaned the places where they had defecated or peed with dry leaves and continued to use it.

Li was just sighing when Xishi brought in a large wooden barrel.

I put the quilt covers and sheets on the floor in, poured hot water in, and started scrubbing them.

"Just soak it for now, there's no rush." ​​Li said in a low voice.

Xishi shook his head. He had already cleaned up the place anyway. If the blood dried in a while, it would be difficult to wash. He was quite strong and did not dare to rub too hard. The things Jilang brought were indeed much more comfortable than fur, but they were not as strong as fur.

Li was very satisfied. Although Sa Shi always made her worry and she was always uneasy, she had to admit that Sa Shi had good taste and the men he chose were much more considerate than the wooden ones she had given birth to.

I will definitely become a good father in the future.

The food in the pot was almost cooked and was waiting to be taken out of the pot. Ji Lang then quietly slipped into the cave next door to take a look at Sa Shi's two children.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Li, who was sitting on the kang folding small clothes, and Xishi, who was rubbing the sheets, both looked over.

Ji Lang quickly made a "hush" gesture and quietly walked to the kang.

Sa Shi was lying in the corner of the kang. In front of him was a wooden rack with a thick fur hanging on it to block the wind.

The two wrinkled and rosy little guys were each snuggling in their own sleeping bags, sleeping soundly together.

It was the first time that Ji Lang saw such a newborn baby and he was full of curiosity. He didn’t expect that the baby would be born ugly and there was no trace of the exquisiteness on Sa Shi and Xi Shi’s faces.

It seemed that the disappointment on Ji Lang's face was too obvious. Li chuckled and whispered, "The cub was wrinkled and ugly in the first few days after it was born. It will be fine in a few days."

Ji Lang scratched his head embarrassedly. He didn't expect that Li could see through his thoughts.

As if to change the subject, he said, "The meal will be ready soon. You guys should clean up and eat." He then pointed at Sa Shi who was sleeping soundly on the kang and said, "Do you want to wake her up and eat something?"

Li shook his head. "No, I'll bring the food over and heat it on the stove for her to eat when she wakes up."

Xi Shi also said, "Emu, you go eat first, I'll watch them, and you can come back and take my place later."

Li didn't refuse and followed Ji Lang to the kitchen.

In just a short while, several people had already cleared the snow in the yard into rows. The clean snow was collected in the vat in the yard. When the pot was empty, the snow could be put directly into the pot and melted into clean water.

Since the cold season came, there has been constant snowfall of varying sizes, and the water pipes have long been frozen, so this is the only way we get water.

After breakfast, the family worked in the yard for a while, adding water to the small jars in each cave, and then went back to sleep.

Although he had hardly slept the entire night, Ji Lang did not feel sleepy at all. After watching Xiaoman and the others go into the next house, Ji Lang returned to his own house and sat by the hot stove, polishing the wooden spear he had just carved.

More research is needed to make a trigger in the middle of the gun body using elastic rope and wood. This step is more complicated and Ji Lang has not figured it out yet.

Thinking that it would be much more powerful than a slingshot after it was really made, Ji Lang was a little excited. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart and hummed a little tune.

This is what Qing Jiu saw when he came in from the yard. He seemed like a person surrounded by happiness, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"Don't you want to sleep for a while?" Qing Jiu asked in a low voice, his eyes sweeping over Ji Lang's waist and then going down.

Ji Lang tapped him with the wooden spear in his hand, wanting to say that he was not sleepy, but looking at Qing Jiu's bloodshot eyes, he knew that if he didn't sleep, he wouldn't be able to sleep well, so he smiled mischievously, "I'm waiting for you to come back and sleep together."

Qing Jiu, who rarely saw him being so clingy, couldn't help but feel a little distracted. However, thinking that they had been busy until too late last night and had not slept the whole night, Ji Lang must be tired, so she pulled him to lie down on the kang.

Ji Lang, who originally thought he was not sleepy, snuggled into the warm quilt, hugged by strong arms, his nose filled with the familiar scent of Qing Jiu, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

Qing Jiu didn't have the habit of sleeping during the day. He lay there for a while. Although he didn't fall asleep much, he didn't have the stuffy feeling in his head that he had in the morning. The person next to him was still sleeping soundly. He didn't know when he stretched his arm out, but he didn't feel cold.

After putting Ji Lang's arm back into the quilt and pressing the quilt down again, Qing Jiu tidied himself up and got off the kang.

He picked it up and placed it on the table, studying the polished wooden spear for a while. He was curious about what new things Ji Lang could come up with this time.

According to Ji Lang, it is a weapon similar to a bow and arrow, but more powerful than a bow and arrow. Qing Jiu is looking forward to it anxiously, which is rare. Although he does not like fighting and killing, he may have an innate love for things like weapons in his nature.

After fiddling with the wooden spear for a while, Qing Jiu quietly pushed open the door and left the house. The snow outside had not stopped, but it was just a light snow. There was a thin layer of snow on the road that had been cleared in the morning.

Hearing some noise in the potato kiln, Qing Jiu walked over.

Guo Qi and A Zhou were pushing the mill one by one and adding flour beans to the millstone by the other. Ye and Xiao Ying were sitting on the ground picking up the flour beans.

Seeing him come in, Guo Qi stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "You can't sleep either?"

Qing Jiu responded, walked over and took over Guo Qi's work, pushing the millstone.

Most of these people are used to being busy. Not to mention sleeping during the day, they feel uncomfortable just sitting around doing nothing.
