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

Soon, an avalanche began on the opposite mountain, and the view was blocked like smoke, and nothing could be seen.

I couldn't stand the cold anymore and went back to the house when I couldn't see the group anymore.

"Hmph, that group of apes actually dared to target us. This time we'll let them know how powerful we are. Hahaha..." Feng was very proud. Although the final avalanche did not break out when he was shouting, he still felt relieved.

"Yes, it's really bad. But, Father, what kind of apes are they?" Xiaoman, who was bleeding due to missing teeth, asked curiously. He was too small and could not even reach half the bamboo wall when he stood on tiptoe. He could only see through the gaps in the bamboo wall, but his field of vision was limited. He didn't see the groups of apes running out just now.

Ji Lang thought about it and told the truth.

"I don't know. I can't see clearly. I can only see a large black group."

"Oh, it's black. Is it the same as Liefeng?" Xiaoman had never seen many wild animals. He had only seen Liefeng and the puppies with black colors, so he couldn't imagine it.

"No, apes are much uglier than hunters. They are very tall and strong, with long and sharp nails. They are covered with black hair that stinks. They have big heads, round eyes, noses as big as fists, and mouths that can swallow your little head in one go!" Feng described in an exaggerated manner.

Xiaoman was so shocked by this description that she didn't react.

Ji Lang asked first, "How can you see so clearly?" He knew that these people had good eyesight, but it was unbelievable that they could see so clearly.

"No, I saw orangutans when I was a kid." Feng scratched his head, "But that was when I was very young..."

The strange thing about apes is that although they cannot speak, many of their behaviors are very similar to those of humans.

No one knew where the ape that Feng had seen when he was a child came from. Perhaps because it had lost its children, it had been secretly kidnapping children near the tribe. In less than ten days, after three children disappeared, everyone realized something was wrong. When they organized a small team to go out, they saw an ape almost two people's height coming out of the woods, holding a child in its arms with its head tilted, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

A group of people chased the ape to its lair. It was very hot at that time, and when they got near the lair, they smelled a very unpleasant stench of corpse.

It took a lot of effort to kill the ape, and two dead children with rotten bodies were found in his nest, as well as an object that was so rotten that it was unrecognizable, which looked like a baby ape.

Fortunately, the child in the ape's arms just fainted and was rescued.

This child, Feng, may be the only person who has observed and come into contact with apes at such a close distance.

Ji Lang didn't expect Feng to have such a legendary experience when he was a child. "Why did it catch you? Isn't it for eating?"

"No, its cub died. It might have captured some children to raise as its cubs. But it was very strong, and it might have accidentally crushed the two children to death. So it was very careful when it held me, and gave me fruits and insects to eat. But I was so scared at the time that I just cried. Later, I was too weak and fainted. When I woke up, I was in the tribe, and the body of the ape was also brought back."

Feng still cannot help shuddering when he talks about this now. It was the warm season then, and the ape's nest was smelly and stuffy. He was pressed into the nest, and next to him were the bodies of his two dead friends and a little ape. Although he didn't understand anything at the time, he felt scared when he saw the smelly and even maggot-infested corpses sleeping next to him.

When the ape went out, he held him in his arms. The black hair on his body was very hard, and it was covered with something unknown, which had condensed into hard lumps. Little Feng was pricked and it hurt a lot, but he couldn't run away. The ape was very strong. He saw with his own eyes that guy grabbed a thick python that was entangled in a tree, and hit the snake's vital point with his stone-like fist. The python, which was struggling fiercely, soon lay on the ground unable to move.

The ape used his sharp nails to cut open the strong python skin and took out the fresh meat from it. He sat there and started eating without any fear of any danger around him.

He also took out a piece and gave it to Feng.

Feng was so frightened that he didn't dare to eat at all and was forced to eat a few pieces of snake meat.

Perhaps this incident left Feng with a serious psychological trauma, so that until now, Feng can't help shuddering whenever he thinks of creatures like orangutans, and he never likes to eat snake meat. Whenever he sees a snake, he will think of that sultry afternoon when he was sitting in the woods, next to him was an orangutan that exuded a foul odor and ate snake meat in big mouthfuls.

He didn't understand anything at that time, and always felt that he would be eaten like this soon.

No wonder he cursed so harshly just now, it turned out to be because he had encountered such a thing when he was a child.

In the following days, there were people guarding the outer courtyard every day, looking at the foot of the mountain in the distance, but no one was seen going out or coming back.

I think a lot of them were buried by the snow, and the rest had already run far away.

Having solved a big problem, the group felt much more relieved.

The days passed one by one, without any ups and downs.

Ji Lang always felt that it was not so cold recently. Now sitting in the yard, with the sun shining on his body, he actually felt warm. This was something he had never experienced in all the cold seasons. When it was the coldest, the sun looked very good. Not to mention sitting in the yard, even walking around in the yard would make one's scalp numb with cold. The sun shining on his body was also cold, as if there was no temperature.

Xiaoman and Wu, with Chuan, were sticking their butts out and scratching something on the ground with small wooden sticks. Ever since Jilang started teaching them to read and do arithmetic, this has basically become their daily activity. There was no other way, Jilang had no paper and he couldn't do it himself. Even though he had a pen, he had nowhere to write. The number of wooden boards was bound to be limited. It was okay to use them during normal study, but it would be a bit of a waste to use them for after-class practice. After all, the wooden boards that had been written on with a burnt stick could not be wiped clean and were difficult to reuse as practice boards.

So Ji Lang took a few of his students to practice writing and drawing in the yard. After a snowfall, there was nothing left. But when they cleaned up the yard, it was still clean, so they could keep practicing like this.

There was a burst of children's laughter coming from Sa Shi's room. Ji Lang knew it was Tao Rong, the little girl from Sa Shi's family. He didn't know what she saw that made her so happy.

Several people were talking inside. Ji Lang lifted the curtain and went in. He saw Xi Shi standing at the head of the kang, holding the little girl's arms through the fence he made. The little girl was bouncing back and forth in her father's hands like a little spring. She was laughing loudly when she was happy, with saliva flowing from the corners of her mouth. She looked excited. Little Tao An, who was lying next to her, looked up with his big round eyes, and when he saw his sister's saliva, he turned his head, turned over with great effort, and rolled away.

How can I still see disgust in the behavior of such a young child?

Ji Lang felt that he was overthinking.

"The sun is shining brightly and warm today. Why isn't Xiaolang outside basking in the sun?" Li asked Jilang while he was busy putting freshly washed diapers on the two kids.

Ji Lang smiled and said, "I just heard the little girl laughing so happily, so I came to see what's going on."

As he said this, he stretched out a finger, wanting to poke the soft cheek of the little girl, but just as he stretched out his finger, the little girl suddenly raised her hand, grabbed Ji Lang's index finger, held it tightly in her hand, and then smiled foolishly at Ji Lang, her round eyes narrowed into a line due to her laughter, and her saliva sprayed Ji Lang's hand.

"This girl is really naughty. We thought that the weather was good, so we took them out for some fresh air, but she was so excited as soon as she put on her clothes." Sa Shi said with a smile. He found the two kids' small hats from the wooden rack, turned around, and saw his own girl grabbed Ji Lang's hand, and tried to pounce on him with her little legs. If her two legs were not flexible enough and they had to walk separately, and if Xi Shi was there to support her, she would have really pounced on Ji Lang. "You are not shy at all." Sa Shi patted her little butt, picked her up from the kang, and asked Xi Shi to put the hat on her.

Compared to his active sister, the brother is much calmer. Since the little guy learned to roll over, he likes this action very much. In the area enclosed by the fence, he can roll back and forth several times a day, but he is not as crybaby as before. Even if his sister cries, he will not be dragged to join in the crying. He just lies aside quietly and plays by himself. At first, Ji Lang was worried that the little guy was autistic. He ran over to check on him several times before he was relieved. It was really because of his personality. He just didn't like to yell, but just liked to move. He was also very sensitive to other sounds from the outside world and reacted to them, except for his sister's crying.

It was like a shield was turned on. Tao Rong was crying heart-wrenchingly beside him. Sometimes when it was quiet at night, Ji Lang would be woken up even when he was sleeping in his room, but little Tao An could sleep soundly and motionlessly. The last time Sa Shi told Ji Lang about this, he laughed so hard that tears came out.

He's also a very magical kid.

The two little guys were wrapped up tightly and placed in the middle of the yard. It was almost noon and the sun was shining in the yard. Liefeng came back from somewhere with the puppies. They were covered in snow, some of which melted and froze into ice hanging on their bodies, making clanking sounds when they ran.

The chairs for putting the babies are the ones that Xishi learned to make from Jilang, the ones with backrests that you can lean on. Jilang made two of them when he was bored before and put them in the kitchen. Later he never got around to making more. Xishi liked these two chairs very much and thought they could be used to put the babies, or to make it more comfortable when sitting with the babies in arms, so he learned to make two from Jilang, and now they are just right for putting Tao An and Tao Rong.

Seeing Ji Lang helping a few puppies clean the icicles off their bodies, Xishi also came over, picked up two pieces of humid ice cubes, and when the surface melted, he placed his hand on the ground to feel it for a while, then took the light-blocking wooden board and went out.

After a while, he returned to the yard with a rare look of joy on his face. "I took a look and found that the cold season is almost over. The ground temperature is starting to warm up and the snow at the foot of the mountain is also showing signs of melting. In less than half a month, the warm season will be here."

Even Ji Lang, who didn't like going out very much, almost jumped for joy when he heard the news.

It's so fucking suffocating. I can't go anywhere. I stay in this small yard every day. At the beginning, when the cold season came, I felt a little bit of novelty, but then I faced several waves of dangers, and then I didn't think time was that hard to bear.

But later on, nothing happened. The firewood in the house had been chopped, the flour and bean powder had been ground, and even the winter bamboo shoots left in the doorway for the two little pandas had been peeled. The family had nothing to do, and apart from teaching the little kids every day, they didn't know what to do, which really made him feel suffocated.

Now hearing this news, he wishes the ice and snow would melt immediately and spring would return so that he can go out and have some fun.

However, after experiencing this cold season, he finally understood why the flowers, plants and trees in this place can grow so well even though it rarely rains during the warm season. After the thick snow melted, it felt like the earth was not even thoroughly watered, so how could there be a lack of water?

Although the warm season is coming, it is still cold in the morning and evening and when there is no sun. We still have to heat the kang and the stove never stops.

After all, it’s not sunny every day, and it may even snow.

But the snow at the foot of the mountain is obviously less. Sometimes when the sun is shining brightly, you can see the melted snow on the opposite mountain flowing like a stream.

Everything was originally going in a better and better direction. Ji Lang was lying on the kang in the cave, thinking about where to open up fields after the warm season came, and how many potatoes, pumpkins, and peppers to plant.

He kept a lot of very plump pumpkins, and hasn't eaten much potatoes recently, so he saved the rest for seeds when they sprout in the warm season.

As I was thinking about this, I gradually became sleepy. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a knock on the door and a hurried cry in a crying tone, "Ji Lang, Ji Lang, my father has a fever. Do you have any medicine that works well?"

Just as Ji Lang came to his senses, Qing Jiu beside him had already gotten up, turned on the flashlight, got off the kang and went to open the door.

Ye was wearing a coat, which he hadn't put on yet. He looked anxious, "Ji Lang, my father has a fever, very hot. He has already finished the medicine I gave him last time, and it still doesn't work."

Ji Lang also quickly put on his clothes and pointed to the medicine box on the shelf, "Qingjiu, take the medicine box, let's go to Uncle Lin's room to take a look."

As they walked, Ye explained to Ji Lang what was going on.

It turned out that the sun was very strong at noon today, and it was very hot. Uncle Lin had been staying in the house all this cold season, and he was feeling very uncomfortable. When he heard Ye say that the sun was good, he couldn't help but come out to bask in the sun. He went back in less than half an hour. The house was not cold during the day, and Uncle Lin didn't light the stove after coming back from outside. Ye also felt that it was hot outside and the kang was warm, so he didn't think much about it.
