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

Of course, the journey from the cottage to here was not a high-intensity long-distance journey. Because there were children, elderly people, and the "delicate" Ji Lang, they had already slowed down their pace.

"Have you ever thought about where we would place them if they bring back dozens of people?" Ji Lang actually had an idea in his mind, but he still asked Qing Jiu.

"Well, we can dig a yard in the west and some caves. This way we don't have to live in the same yard with them, but we can take care of each other by living closer." Qing Jiu said, stroking the back of Ji Lang's neck, which was a little cold.

Ji Lang looked up at him, his eyes filled with joy that could not be seen in the darkness, "Then we are quite in tune with each other."

Qing Jiu, who didn't know what telepathy meant, could probably guess what this meant and kissed the top of Ji Lang's head, "Go to sleep. Didn't you say you had to plant peppers early tomorrow?"

Ji Lang got up early in the morning before the sun came out. The quilt next to him had been folded up. Xiaoman was still asleep with dried tears in the corners of her eyes.

Jilang: ...

Seeing the child was feeling aggrieved, he secretly cried in the middle of the night. Ji Lang did not think that the child was making a fuss because of this. People of every age have things they care about, even if it is just a toy or a chessboard with no winner.

He quietly slipped off the kang, quickly finished planting the peppers, and came back to make small bicycles for the kids.

Ji Lang was carrying the soaked chili seeds and half a basket of plastic bags. There was no ground film, so he could only use these plastic bags to cover the planted chili seeds.

Li was already busy in the kitchen. Ji Lang grabbed a big pancake for himself and gave one each to Qing Jiu and Feng who were busy outside.

In the outer courtyard, two people had finished their chores and were washing and scrubbing by the water pipe.

After making sure that they had cleaned up, Ji Lang handed the pancake in his hand to them.

"Why did Brother Lang come out so early today? What was he doing with the basket on his back? Digging wild vegetables?" Feng's eyes were full of suspicion. After all, Ji Lang was clearly disliked by Li last time.

Ji Lang knocked on his head, actually looking down on him, "Qingjiu and I are going to plant peppers." He had to knock on Feng's head while he could, because when this guy grew taller, Ji Lang was worried that he wouldn't be able to reach his head.

Feng ate half of the pancake in two or three bites and said, "Then I'll go with you. When Xi Ge left, he told me that if you grow anything, I should learn from you."

Xishi has always attached great importance to planting, and he has been learning these planting knowledge from Jilang. Jilang sometimes feels that his learning awareness and his ability to accept are very advanced. He knows that planting and breeding can bring earth-shaking changes to their current lives without Jilang explaining. So every time Jilang says what to plant and what animals to raise, he supports it unconditionally, and is even more active than others in going out to find fodder.

So before going out this time, he anticipated what Jilang wanted to plant, and told Feng early on, asking him to help Jilang and learn how to plant.

The original plan of two people going out became three people, with the addition of a light bulb named Feng.

However, Ji Lang and Qing Jiu didn't feel anything. They didn't go out for a date, but to work. With one more person, they could save some energy.

When they arrived at the place, Qingjiu took Feng and turned the soil according to Jilang's request. Jilang spread out the soaked pepper seeds and picked out the ones that were not too full or rotten.

Since they needed to raise the seedlings first, they didn't need a very large area, and the two of them moved quickly, and soon a small piece of land had been turned over.

Following Ji Lang's instructions, the two dug a few shallow trenches on the ground. Ji Lang sprinkled pepper seeds little by little along the long trenches.

After all the chili seeds in his hand were scattered and covered with a thin layer of soil, Ji Lang called Qing Jiu to go back and fetch a bucket of water, and carefully sprinkled it on the chili seeds covered with soil.

Then, little by little, I used torn plastic bags to cover the pepper seeds along the gullies, pressing them down with soil on both sides to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.

Although it is less windy since the warm season, you still need to be careful.

It didn't seem like a job that required any technical skills, but the three of them worked hard for quite a while. When they got home, the sun was already high in the sky.

Ji Lang entered the yard first and heard Xiaoman's happy and somewhat excited laughter. He felt like a stone had fallen from his heart. He was really afraid that when he got home, he would see this little guy with a sad and miserable look on his face.

Sa Shi was taking them to play on the seesaw.

Sa Shi was sitting on one side holding little Tao Rong, and on the other side were Feng Huailiquan, Zhe Gechuan, Xiao Man and Wu, all squeezed on the narrow board, being lifted up high by Sa Shi from the other end.

This scene seems a bit familiar, as if it has happened before, but the protagonist at that time was Feng, and now the protagonist has become Saji.

Sa Shi laughed at the little ones mercilessly, but Feng, who was with the little ones, was not angry. He smiled and asked Sa Shi to loosen up his weight so that they could go down and get up again.

Seeing that they were having fun, Ji Lang stopped being anxious and cleaned up and went to eat by himself.

I worked all morning and only had one pancake. I'm so hungry now.

They ate a large pancake in no time, followed by a bowl of hot fish ball soup. The three of them were so busy eating that they didn't even have time to talk.

They said they were going to make a small bicycle for Xiaoman, but the wheels of a bicycle are only that big, and no matter how much they shrink it, it’s still not small enough.

However, the kids didn't mind this at all. If they couldn't reach the bicycle while sitting on the seat, they would stand up and pedal. Feng and Wu were better off, at least they were tall enough to support the bicycle. But Xiaoman and Chuan were far behind. They always needed Feng to support them, but they still had a lot of fun.

The yard was quite spacious and no wild vegetables or fruits had been picked to dry in the sun. When Ji Lang came out after delivering lunch to Uncle Lin, he saw them having a great time in the yard. He was just about to yell at them to be careful not to get sunburned.

"Hey!" came a shout from above the yard.

Ji Lang looked up and saw Xi Shi, who looked exhausted. "You guys are back!" There was a boy leader following Xi Shi. Ji Lang squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully for a while. Isn't this A Bai? How did he come back with Xi Shi and the others?

After Xishi and Guoqi took Abai to sit in the yard and rest for a while, Xishi explained to everyone why Abai appeared here.

During the previous cold season, although the conflict in the Baiyun tribe was settled and everyone settled down, the big tiger that had been lurking around their tribe was still there. This vengeful guy would occasionally use his ability to travel during the cold season to attack the tribe or the team that went out of the tribe. In the later period, the snow was so thick that it was difficult to move, so he stopped.

But not long after the warm season came, this guy started again.

The Baiyun tribe has lost more than 10 people in these few days, including two half-grown children.

This time, all the Baiyun tribe members who were able to fight had to go out with the tribe. A small number of people were left behind to look after the dozen or so children in the tribe. Ah Hua was not very confident about Ah Bai, so she took Ah Bai with her. He learned a lot of hunting skills from the hunters in the tribe throughout the winter season.

But after he went out, he found that his physical strength still could not keep up. At this time, Xi Shi, who was patrolling around the territory, noticed the whereabouts of the Baiyun tribe passing by and chased after them.

Then he got himself into trouble.

Of course, the main reason was that Ah Hua's offer to exchange the seeds of an edible plant from the surrounding area of ​​their tribe was too attractive to Xi Shi.

Ji Lang felt a little complicated. Why was there another plot of entrusting an orphan to someone else? It seemed that the Baiyun tribe was really going all out this time and wanted to fight that big tiger to the death.

I hope Ah Hua and the others can hold on, otherwise, not only will there be edible plant seeds, but there will also be one more mouth to feed.

The younger ones didn't have the same worries as Jilang. They were particularly happy to see their friends whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

"Brother Abai, let's go play on the seesaw!" When Abai came before, it was very cold outside in winter and no one played on the seesaw, so it was put away. It was moved out again after the weather got warmer.

"Brother Guo, did you encounter anything else when you went out?" Feng asked curiously. He couldn't go out for patrols yet, but that didn't mean he was curious.

Likewise, Jilang was also very curious.

Guo Qi shook his head and said, "There's nothing unusual, but..." He looked up at Xi Shi and motioned Xi Shi to tell everyone.

Xi Shi nodded slightly. "It gets hot too quickly this warm season. There may be a drought later." He paused and expressed his concerns. "There is a spring on our mountain. When the time comes, there may be many wild animals or tribes coming here."

After all, all living things cannot live without water, so they will naturally gather in places with water. With more wild animals, there will be more dangers lurking around, not to mention that if an entire tribe breaks into their territory, conflicts may arise.

Throughout this winter season, Ji Lang learned a lot about the situation in this world from everyone.

He originally thought that the population density in such deep mountains and forests should not be too high. Of course, in reality, it was not too high, but it was much more than he imagined.

Most of the people here, from birth to death, will only move around in their own tribal territories, and normally the tribes do not interfere with each other.

But this is just the normal situation. If there is no water or food in their territory, they will have to leave the territory and find a new habitat even if they are reluctant.

Then the tribes nearby in front will most likely gather here. Not to mention the people of Baiyun tribe, if the small river near their tribe dries up, they will definitely choose to come here.

"What if there is a drought? Will it be difficult to find edible food outside?" Ji Lang suddenly thought of this. Seeing Qing Jiu nodded, he thought about it and decided that he had to open up more land and plant everything he could on hand.

Although there may be drought, considering the current moisture of the land and their proximity to the lake, the crops planted will surely survive until they bear fruit.

Moreover, potatoes and pumpkins are high-yielding, so the more you plant, the more you will harvest.

In the next few days, everyone was even busier. According to Ji Lang's request, several large pieces of land were opened up on the mountain.

First, plant a large pot of pumpkin seeds that have been soaked and germinated.

Later, several baskets of potatoes finally sprouted, and a group of people were busy planting potatoes.

Although they were tired, everyone was happy.

When the weather gets warmer, the door of the sheepfold no longer needs to be closed. Sometimes during the day, Guo Qi will drive the remaining three sheep to the yard to bask in the sun. These sheep have been raised for more than a year. They didn't eat well in the cold season and became thinner, but recently they have fresh grass to eat every day. Seeing Guo Qi every day, even a few sheep remember him. When they see him, even if he doesn't bring any fodder, they will come up to him and are not afraid of people at all.

Ji Lang did not keep the remaining ten or so ducks locked up all the time. He even placed a large water tank in the outer yard, trying to get the ducks to come out for a swim and a walk every day, and to lay some eggs when they were in a good mood.

But it has been over a month and there are still no duck eggs.

"I'll give you another half a month. If you don't lay eggs, I'll send you away. You can't just occupy the space without laying eggs." Ji Lang took a small wooden stick and knocked on the edge of the sink. The ducks in the sink acted as if they couldn't see or hear him and ignored him.

Originally he wanted to say that he was occupying the toilet without taking a shit, but the guys squatting nearby were each holding a big bun and eating it with relish, so he was afraid that saying it would upset others.

"Father, you're stupid. The duck can't understand." Xiaoman also took the time to say.

Ji Lang stopped tapping the water with the stick in his hand and looked at the little guy who was becoming more and more daring. "So what do you think we should do if the duck doesn't lay eggs?"

How would Xiaoman know? He had never seen a duck or a pheasant lay eggs. He only heard Ji Lang say that eggs came out of the belly, just like giving birth to a baby.

"Well... I can kill a duck and see if there are any eggs in its stomach, and then I can eat roast duck." The little guy swallowed his saliva as he spoke, looking very yearning.

Ji Lang couldn't help but want to hit his little butt with the small wooden stick in his hand. He was eating buns while still thinking about the duck.

However, should we really kill one to see if it has eggs? What if there is nothing in the stomach? Isn't it a waste of time for him to keep complaining about it?

A group of ducks have no idea that their fate may be greatly affected by this person's one thought, and they still heartlessly dive into the sink to rinse their brains.

Fortunately, they are also competitive.

Since Zhou and Xiaoying left, Feng sometimes went to help clean up the sheep and duck pens outside in the mornings these days.

Early in the morning, Ji Lang was brushing his teeth with cold water in the house. Although the temperature was very high when the sun was shining during the day, it was still cold in the morning and evening, especially the water that had been left overnight. It was very cool and refreshing to use it to wash his face and brush his teeth.

But the stove is not on now, and there is not enough hot water available, so Ji Lang can only grit his teeth and use cold water every day.
