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

The long horns and strong limbs that the head sheep was proud of have now become the target of Guo Qi and Qing Jiu. The ropes in their hands seemed to have eyes, and after being thrown out, they were firmly tied to the long horns and hooves of the head sheep. The head sheep has been trying to break free, and the ground is covered with dust.

The sheep at the back were also very temperamental. When they saw the injured lamb, the scattered sheep, and the trapped leader sheep, they actually stretched their necks and started to butt Ji Lang and Sa Shi with their long horns.

Ji Lang always had a feeling that he was being looked down upon. If Qing Jiu or Guo Qi had paid attention to this place, these sheep would have probably run away long ago.

Jilang didn't want to hurt them, so he kept hitting these bad-tempered goats with the back of his knife.

I have to say that the horns of the goat are really not to be underestimated. These goats are also very strong. After Ji Lang knocked them a few times, he felt his arms numb from the shock.

"You little bastard, you look down on me, don't you? You think I'm easy to bully?" Sa Shi hit the goats that bumped into him with the wooden stick in his hand. With his other hand, he untied the rope on his back and began to tie it around the long horns of several goats in a random manner. Soon, these guys were forced to stick together, like headless flies, bumping into others randomly, not caring whether there were people or sheep around them.

In front, Qing Jiu and Guo Qi subdued the lead sheep and caught a female goat that ran to the front.

There were four fish trapped on Sa Shi's rope, including the small one that Ji Lang injured, so it was a good harvest.

Jilang was quite happy.

But he was happy too early.

It turns out that catching goats is not the most difficult part; the most difficult part is the process of dragging these stubborn creatures back home.

It was really hard. He didn't cooperate at all and didn't even move a step. I had to have Guo Qi or Qing Jiu dragging him in front the whole time.

Sa Shi was so angry that she took out the soft whip that Ji Lang had made for her with elastic cord and started whipping them from behind. Of course, since these guys were used for breeding, she didn't dare to really hurt them. Most of the time, she just whipped them to the ground to scare them.

Ji Lang put the injured lamb in a basket and carried it on his back. He went back to see if he could keep it alive. If he could, he would keep it alive. If not, he would eat roasted lamb.

They returned dragging and hauling it all the way, all covered in dust.

Several people were sweating, and Ji Lang felt that he was smelly. These guys were difficult to deal with in the first place, and on the way back, the sun seemed to join in the fun, shining fiercely. Ji Lang thought about the time when he first arrived in this world. The time was almost the same as now, so why didn't he feel that the sun was so vicious then? It seems that the drought that Xi Shi mentioned before is more serious than Ji Lang imagined. However, based on Ji Lang's previous experience, this place, except during the rainy season, the frequency of rain is very low. If there is really a drought, the probability of God making it rain will be even lower.

This is also the disadvantage of planting in ancient times or in this era. People really rely on the weather for their livelihood, and ordinary people have no way to deal with it.

So even if they knew there would be a drought, there was nothing they could do. They could only try to stock up more food before the drought came. In addition to this, Ji Lang also wanted to dig a well and collect some water in it, just in case.

When I was in the village, the villagers dug wells, mostly dry wells, where you couldn't get water from the bottom. They collected rainwater and used it to feed poultry or wash clothes.

They can now make pottery and bricks, and when the time comes, they can lay a layer of water in the wells they have dug so that they don't have to worry about the water seeping away. When the drought is really severe and the water from the springs in the lake is not enough, the water in the wells can still be used for a while.

However, digging a well is a technical job. You need to dig several ladders. Otherwise, if the well is dug too deep, people won't be able to climb up.

The few sheep that had just been pulled back were not put directly into the sheepfold. Ji Lang was worried that they would fight with the three original sheep in the house, so a rope was tied around the neck of each of these guys and they were tied to a big tree outside the door. Ji Lang applied some medicine to the injured lamb and tied it up with gauze.

His wooden spear was very powerful and it directly made a bloody hole in the lamb's calf, which looked a bit scary.

However, after Ji Lang checked, he found that the aorta, tendons and bones were not injured, and the bleeding was quickly stopped. It should heal soon.

The little Jilang was locked in the sheepfold, huddled in a corner like a poor little thing.

The three sheep that were originally in the sheepfold chewed the tender grass in their mouths while curiously looking at their new "roommate."

Because the puppies sometimes make a fuss when they go out, we didn't bring them along for this operation that required an advance ambush.

At this moment, he was looking around at the four goats under the tree.

The goats, which were originally aggressive, were now as obedient as little monkeys, huddling together tightly. If there was no place to stand on the tree trunk, they would probably stand on it.

Liefeng squatted on the side, looking very steady. It was big, with shiny fur. It squatted there like a big lump, and just looking at it scared the sheep.

Not to mention there were three puppies that looked a lot like wolves, with their heads and front legs pressed to the ground, their butts sticking up and twisting back and forth, as if they were ready to pounce on the goats and bite off their necks at any time.

A few goats became even more cowardly. When they were just pulled back, they were still screaming at the top of their lungs. This work even muffled their breathing.

Ji Lang found it a little funny. Maybe this was the suppression from natural enemies.

When we went out hunting a few days ago, Da Mao, Er Mao and San Mao often followed us. They already knew the importance of the task and would not do anything out of line. Besides, there was still the hunting wind, so there was no need to worry too much.

The outer yard is very lively at this moment, with a group of ducks quacking in the water trough from time to time, four dogs and four goats, and people working back and forth. Unfortunately, after the warm season came, the two red pandas went down the mountain and never came back. It is estimated that the snow in the nest has melted, and the two little guys found their way back.

I don’t know where the kitten has gone. When the weather gets hot, it rarely comes home.

Xiaoman and a few other boys were also playing outside. Only Abai was standing by the bamboo wall. He was not tall enough, so he could only look outside through the gaps between the bamboos.

Everyone knew what he was looking at, but after more than ten days, Ah Hua and Dayan had not appeared.

No one mentioned this matter tacitly, nor did they disturb Abai from looking down the mountain every day. The child must miss his parents very much, as he would look down the mountain more than ten times a day.

Ji Lang sat under a tree, the sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves and fell on his body. It wasn't too hot, but rather cozy and a bit comfortable. Occasionally a gust of wind blew, making the leaves rustle, and the light and shadow on Ji Lang's body appeared and disappeared due to the turning of the leaves.

If I had a recliner at this moment, I would really be as peaceful as the old man downstairs.

He was so focused on his thoughts that he didn't notice someone sitting next to him on a wooden stool.

"Are you tired?" Qing Jiu asked softly.

Ji Lang was startled and turned to look at the person who had sat next to him without him noticing. Water was still dripping from the ends of his hair, indicating that he had just washed his hair.

He shook his head and said, "No, I'm thinking about whether I should dig a well for my home."

Knowing that Qingjiu didn't quite understand what "井" meant, I explained it to him.

"I'm just worried that if it's really too dry, what if the water in the lake dries up and the water from the spring is not enough? Let's dig a well and store some water so that we can use it in emergencies." He has thought about changing the water in the well every ten days or so. The previous water will be pumped out and transported to the fields to irrigate the fields, and then some new water will be added. In this way, even if it is stagnant water, it will not stink, and it can be used to provide them with daily food and drink. Although most people in the village don't like to drink water from the well, thinking it is unclean and has a smell, but when it really comes to special times, the well water can be life-saving.

Qing Jiu naturally knew the pros and cons of this, and immediately began to think with Ji Lang about where to dig the well.

Digging a well itself is a laborious job. They haven't dug it yet. They also have to burn bricks and pottery to paste the well, and then dry it. It will take at least one or two months, so they have to get things started quickly.

Qingjiu brought up this matter at the dinner table during lunch.

"These past few days have been the same as before. In the morning we went out hunting and gathering wild vegetables. After coming back and eating, we went to the mountain to pick up some firewood." Qing Jiu made arrangements. A lot of firewood was needed to make pottery, and Ji Lang also planned to smelt iron. The refreshed engineer shovels and various iron products had been piled up in the woodshed. Now the firewood in the woodshed was almost used up, but it was still full.

"Then let's all go collect firewood, it will be much faster." Li followed.

The cold season has just passed, and there are now a lot of dead branches and leaves in the mountains. A whole cold season is not enough for these things to be eroded and dissipated. They are everywhere at the bottom of the mountain, and there is no need to cut them down intentionally.

The group of people were busy for another half a month. There were several piles of various sizes in the outer yard, including flammable leaves and dead grass, smaller leaves and tree trunks, and several large tree trunks that could be hugged by one person. These large tree trunks were most useful when making pottery.

Ah Hua and Dayan arrived late.

The night before they came, Abai stood in the outer yard and watched several times with tears in his eyes. He was not worried that his father and mother would not come to pick him up, but at his age, he knew that going out hunting was a dangerous thing, not to mention that they were going to face such a ferocious tiger.

So Abai was very worried whether something might happen to his parents.

The two men brought seven or eight team members. It was not known whether they were traveling overnight or waiting on the mountain all night. When the sky was just getting light, Guo Qi was about to clean up the sheepfold with a shovel while yawning. The four newly caught goats, three males and one female, had become familiar with the original three. They were tied up in the yard for a few days at first, and then they were directly locked in the sheepfold. With seven big goats and one little goat, it was a little more difficult to clean up the sheepfold than before.

When he heard the knock on the door, Guo Qi immediately became alert and said nothing.

There was a noise from outside, but after knocking on the door, there was no sound. Ah Hua spoke first, "I'm Ah Hua, I'm here to take my son back."

......

Why did she inexplicably feel that her son was being held hostage?

Guo Qi opened the door, and there were not only Ah Hua and Dayan outside, but also a few people standing a little further away from the door, who must have come with them.

"The child is still asleep. You can go in and take a look. It's still the same room you lived in before." Guo Qi said, but his eyes were fixed on the things carried on the backs of the people behind him.

Somewhat curious.

I don’t know if it’s the edible plant seeds that Ah Hua mentioned.

Ah Hua went into the inner courtyard by herself. Dayan and the team members were still in the outer courtyard, looking around their safe and comfortable courtyard. Because there were a lot of firewood in the yard, it seemed a little crowded, especially the water pipe, which immediately attracted the attention of these people. With such a close water source, they didn't have to carry water back one jar at a time. It was safe and convenient. I don't know how they did it.

Lan, who had gotten up early to cook in the courtyard, was stunned for a moment when she saw Ah Hua coming in. After she realized what was happening, she immediately shouted in surprise, "Ah Hua! Are you here to pick up Ah Bai?"

Ah Hua smiled and said, "Yes, it took so long. Thank you for helping me take care of Ah Bai. I brought several kinds of seeds. Has Ji Lang not grown up yet? I wonder if he will want them."

"How could he not want it? Don't you know how hard he works on the crops?" Lan joked, pointing to the house next door. "Abai is still in this room. You should go and have a look." Having not seen her son for so long, she must have missed him very much.

Abai was sleeping in a daze, and seemed to hear Am's voice. He thought he was dreaming, so he turned over and felt a pair of rough and cold hands touching his face. It looked very familiar. He opened his eyes suddenly, and it was Am!

He rubbed his eyes. It was really Ah Mu! He bent over and stood in front of the kang, looking at him.

Abai turned over excitedly, "Amu!" It's finally here. He was so worried that something might have happened to his father and mother.

In fact, the Baiyun tribe's outing this time was not smooth. Their entire tribe was divided into two groups, searching for the whereabouts of the big tiger in the surrounding mountains.

Dayan and Ahua's group searched in the mountains for five or six days but still had no news, so after some discussion, they decided to look for members of another team.

They did find it, but members of the other team suffered heavy casualties, and the tiger was injured and hid.

Dayan, along with the remaining members, searched the mountain without sleep for two days and two nights before they forced the big tiger into a desperate situation.

There were more than a dozen injured members, three died, and two were seriously injured and could not be rescued.

Dayan's leg was injured, with a fist-sized piece of flesh scraped off by the tiger's claws. Ah Hua originally disagreed with him coming along, but he was worried. The mountains at this time were different from the winter season, when most of the dangerous wild animals would hide to resist the cold. But the mountains at this time were full of carnivores hunting.

It was delayed for several days and that's why I arrived late.

Ji Lang got up and came out of the house. Looking at the strangers standing in the yard, he was a little confused. What did this mean? Was their tribe conquered the night he slept?
