Ji Lang then realized belatedly that these guys were not sick, they were just disgusted by the dirt.

......Thinking about how painful it is to take a shower every time after the cold season, and how he can endure it for another day, Ji Lang felt ashamed. He was not as clean as a group of ducks.

Not long after the ducks were released, Guo Qi from the sheepfold also drove out a few goats.

However, they were not as active as the ducks. After coming out, they stood in the cold snow and bleated for a while. Seeing that no one paid attention to them, they walked along the yard to the westernmost end. At this time, the sun had risen, and the corner of the west wall was able to get some sun. Several sheep and lambs huddled together and stood in that small piece of sunshine.

Although he guessed that the ducks ate less because they thought the place was dirty, Ji Lang still went into the duck pen to take a look out of concern. The place had just been cleaned by Ye and was very clean.

Ji Lang pulled out the dry grass with seeds piled in the corner, and even took a wooden stick to hammer the dry grass on the top, so that the grass seeds on top would fall to the ground, making it easier for the ducks to peck at them.

I feel like I don’t even have to put so much effort into raising a child, yet I’m so concerned about a few ducks.

But it is also a chance to accumulate experience. In the future, I will not only raise ducks, but also pheasants and rabbits, and even bison and wild boars.

The cold season has been here for three months, and everyone has experienced the convenience and benefits of breeding. Even though they have agreed not to go out casually recently because of the wolves and the Baiyun tribe, as long as they want to eat fresh meat, they can eat ducks and sheep. Of course, there are a lot of frozen meat and bacon at home, and no one wants to eat fresh meat.

"Then let them ventilate for half a day. I'm going to go in and cook." Ye said as he put away the utensils in his hand.

Ah Zhou nodded and said, "Go ahead. I've boiled some hot water in the pot when I came out. Go back and use the hot water to wash your hands and vegetables." He saw a crack on Ye's hand yesterday due to frostbite at some point. Although he immediately applied badger oil on it, the crack is still red and swollen, with no sign of improvement at all.

Ye smiled and agreed, and asked Ji Lang, "Are we going back?"

Ji Lang nodded, followed him, walked to the doorway, and approached Ye's head mysteriously, "When did you two get together?"

Ye, who was in a hurry, stopped immediately and turned to look at Ji Lang, his face full of shock, "How did you know?"

......

"I'm not blind, it's not that obvious." Ji Lang said helplessly.

Ye's face suddenly turned red, "Why... is it so obvious?"

"Yeah, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. So when is it?" Ji Lang was too curious.

"Yesterday... you noticed it as soon as we got together. Ji Lang, you are so awesome." Ye still felt embarrassed, but he admired Ji Lang in his heart. How could he see it so quickly?

I didn't feel that the atmosphere between them was too sweet at all.

"How did you get together? Tell me, when did you start to like him?" The little gossip prince Jilang is online.

The idea for this started when Ah Zhou and his friends first arrived here. At that time, Ah Zhou ate the meal cooked by Ye. It was the first time he ate such delicious food, so he naturally became curious about the person who made such food, and even praised him sincerely several times.

Because of his physical condition, Ye was always excluded and even despised since he was a child. Even Uncle Lin was a little unwilling to accept his physical condition, so Ye had an extremely low self-esteem since he was a child.

Ji Lang was the first person to praise him, but Ji Lang would praise everyone without hesitation, even when five-year-old Xiaoman dressed himself or three-year-old Chuan ate his meal by himself, Ji Lang would talk about it and praise them. Although Ye was happy to be praised, he did not have any other thoughts.

But Zhou was different. He only praised him and even brought back some wild fruits for Ye when he went out hunting. He also brought him beautiful flowers and leaves, making Ye feel special. However, neither of them understood what love was and they were unfamiliar with this newly budding affection.

Ah Zhou didn't know why he liked staying with Ye. Even if he was just listening to Ye telling him about the different flavors of seasonings, he listened with great interest. Every time he caught a small prey, the first person he thought of was Ye. He would secretly look forward to it, wondering how Ye would cook this wild animal this time, and whether he would tell him something he had never known before while cooking it.

Ye's voice was like that of a teenager, light and gentle, which made Zhou's heart itchy and comfortable.

The two ignorant people did not know how to show affection or how to take the next step, but just relying on the joy and instinct in their hearts, their relationship gradually became closer.

When Zhou was collecting prey or chopping wood, Ye would walk beside him and talk to him, occasionally asking about what happened during the hunting trip. When Ye was doing needlework or cooking, Zhou would sometimes follow and ask how the meat tasted good, how to roast it so fragrantly, what he needed to pay attention to when doing needlework, and why he always did it badly.

If a man and a woman like each other, they can exchange tokens of affection and become partners, then have children together and continue a new family.

There had indeed been relationships between men in the tribe before, but it seemed as if they just lived together tacitly. They couldn't have children, so their bloodline couldn't be continued and they had no children. It was more like they were just living together than being partners.

After being confused for a while, Zhou felt that he didn't want to be like this with Ye, so he asked Qingjiu directly, asking how Qingjiu and Jilang determined their relationship, what they usually did, and how they became a partner recognized by everyone.

After all, even if Ji Lang and Qing Jiu didn't have a child, everyone knew about their relationship, and Zhou also wanted to be like Ye.

Although Zhou's question was abrupt, Qing Jiu could understand him and did not say much. He just told him that confirming a relationship is a matter between two people. It can be done by sending each other tokens or by verbally confirming it. As for how his family would recognize it, Qing Jiu felt that this was not a problem. Between him and Ji Lang, there was no need for other people's understanding and recognition. If he wanted to be good to Ji Lang, he should be good to him openly and honestly, and others had no right to interfere.

Anyway, no matter whether what he said was right or not, Zhou listened to it and even took action immediately to give his bone knife to Ye. After all, when he and Xiaoying first came here, they only had this one thing on their bodies. Although they later had sharper and more convenient weapons, this bone knife was made by grinding the leg bones he had removed from the bison's legs bit by bit. He also used this bone knife to kill many prey of all sizes. For him, this was also a very precious thing, so he kept the bone knife well.

Ye accepted Zhou's bone knife and gave Zhou the animal fang he had carried with him since childhood.

This animal tooth was left to Ye by his mother, and it is his only solace when he imagines and misses his mother.

After they exchanged tokens of love, they were no longer as secretive as before and were embarrassed to express their love and concern for each other in front of other people. They finally started to be open and confident, and then they were discovered by Ji Lang.

Ji Lang didn't expect that their relationship was actually caused by Qing Jiu. Two days ago in Uncle Lin's cave, when he gestured to Qing Jiu to read the gossip, Qing Jiu looked puzzled.

Ok.

Why don’t you tell him yet? Ji Lang muttered to himself and wanted to settle the score with Qing Jiu.

After entering the yard, Ye did not go directly to the kitchen, but went to the potato kiln to pick up potatoes. Last night, Ji Lang suddenly felt like eating potato noodles, so Ye planned to cook potato noodles for everyone for breakfast.

There is staple food, vegetables and soup in one pot, which can be eaten and drunk at the same time. For him, it is easier than making other meals.

Ji Lang had long forgotten the potato flour he mentioned last night. When he reached the doghouse, he did not follow Ye anymore. Instead, he squatted down and looked at the guys in the doghouse. Liefeng had gone out a long time ago. He was used to running around the mountain every morning, and sometimes he would bring back some unknown small animals as a snack.

Da Mao, Er Mao and San Mao were huddled together with their eyes open. Ji Lang was wondering why these three troublemakers had woken up but hadn't gotten up yet, when he saw two red pandas lying on top of them, sleeping somewhere unknown.

After they came, they took everyone to dig winter bamboo shoots several times. Now there are five or six bags full of bamboo shoots piled in the doorway. They have no worries about food and drink. The two little guys live here peacefully without considering themselves outsiders at all.

It was more than ten days later when Ah Hua appeared again.

She was exhausted and knocked on the door outside with a one-armed man.

Ji Lang was in the yard trying out the wooden gun he had just made when he heard a knock on the door.

With a loud "bang", the rack at the door of the woodshed broke into two immediately, and all the people in the yard who were originally watching the excitement became stunned.

I didn't expect that this inconspicuous and somewhat strange thing could be so powerful.

At this time, I heard a knock on the door, just like waking up from a dream.

Guo Qi, who was standing at the door, walked out. "Who is it?"

Ah Hua's voice was heard outside, "It's me, Ah Hua, and my partner Dayan, just the two of us." She was very smart and knew that if their whole group came, the people inside might not open the door, so she asked the main group to wait at the foot of the mountain while she and Dayan came up to pick up Ah Bai.

When Abai heard Am's voice, he immediately stood up from the stove and rushed out, "Am!"

He didn't even bother to look at the beautiful little fish that survived nearby.

Guo Qi opened the door.

Abai rushed into Ahua's arms like a small cannonball. The one-armed man following behind Ahua nodded slightly to Guo Qi to express his gratitude, then used his arm to hug the child and his partner in his arms.

When Ji Lang came out, he saw this heartwarming scene.

A tall man, looking very reliable.

When he squatted down, picked up Abai and stood in the yard, Ji Lang saw that his other arm was chopped off very thoroughly, even the shoulder was missing. One can imagine how cruel the person who did it was.

Ah Hua touched her son's thick clothes, as well as the hat and gloves that were obviously specially made for him. She lowered her head and wiped away the tears from her eyes with some discomfort. "Thank you, Ah Bai, for troubling you during this period of time."

As he spoke, he took off the animal skin bags on his and the wild goose's backs, and took out a pile of animal skins, beautiful stones, and dried herbs from them.

"Grind this long and thin herb into powder and apply it on the wound, and the wound will heal quickly. This herb with a little red can be used to boil water to drink. I heard Ye say that his father was in poor health and often coughed and had shortness of breath. Drinking this medicine can relieve the symptoms. This disease is caused by fatigue in young people, and people will get it when they catch a cold when they are old. Some hunters in our tribe have also had this disease. Although drinking it cannot cure it, it can relieve the symptoms and make people feel much better." Ah Hua pointed to the herbs in the package and explained the effects of these medicines to everyone one by one.

Ye took the handful of red root herbs she handed over, his face full of gratitude.

Ah Hua pointed at the remaining things and continued, "I know you don't lack furs, but we don't have anything precious other than these. These furs can be regarded as exchanging two sets of clothes for Ah Bai and me. Those beautiful stones can be used to decorate the cave. The women in our tribe like them very much."

Ji Lang waved his hands quickly, "Those medicines are enough, you don't need so much. It's so cold in winter, you still need furs, we have enough furs."

Ah Hua smiled and said, "There are many people missing in the tribe. We don't lack furs now. Don't refuse."

On the other side, Dayan looked at the location and layout of the yard calmly, lowered his head, and concealed the surprise and admiration in his eyes.

When I followed him into the inner courtyard, I was even more shocked when I saw the neatly arranged cave dwellings.

Finally, he entered the house where Abai had lived these days. Seeing the clean and tidy kang, the filled wooden shelves, and the exquisite and warm stove, Dayan once again realized how ignorant he was before.

Not to mention the extremely longing feeling when he touched the warm kang. He suddenly changed his mind. Originally, Ahua and Dayan had agreed that they would come here to pick up Abai, leave something as a thank-you gift, and then leave. From then on, no one from their tribe would set foot in the territory of this small tribe again. But when he really saw these incredible things in this tribe with his own eyes, he wanted to shamelessly learn from them.

How could Ah Hua not understand what her partner was thinking? It was just that before she left, she had promised Ji Lang and the others that they would keep their distance from each other from then on. She didn't want to break her promise, nor did she want these people to stop trusting her.

Seeing Li and Lan greeting them warmly and helping Abai pack the toys and snacks they had given him these days, Ahua glanced at her partner and was unable to speak.

They can't push their luck.

However, Ji Lang, who came in behind, saw them like this and asked, "If you have anything else to say or ask, just say it quickly to avoid having to run back several times." Ji Lang never took Ah Hua's words of keeping out of each other's way seriously. Whether for an individual or a tribe, it is better to have a neighbor who helps each other than a stranger who lives very close.

Dayan was not a person who would hesitate or hesitate. Seeing that Ji Lang had already asked, he glanced at Ah Hua and nodded. Ah Hua simply said directly, "We want to learn from you how to make a door for the cave and how to make this kang. We also want to exchange some pottery with you."
