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

Ji Lang pinched his face angrily. Even the flesh on his face was stiff. "Of course not. You almost strangled me to death. How can I not remember it clearly?"

"..."

She didn't want to strangle him, but she didn't think that she would be saved by a stranger. Seeing Ji Lang's thin appearance, she thought he was a cannibal. In fact, he was at the end of his strength at that time. He had a high fever all over his body and had no strength at all.

"Why don't you speak? Are you feeling guilty?" Ji Lang leaned his head to see his expression.

Qing Jiu smiled and clenched the claws in his hands. Although it was very hot and his palms were sweating, he just didn't want to let go. "It's not because I feel guilty." His eyes swept over Ji Lang's neck covered by the sun protection clothes, "I didn't know you were so good at that time."

After all, from childhood to adulthood, let alone strangers from other tribes, even those unfamiliar people in the Taoli tribe might come to snatch food, furs, and firewood from him at special times. He had never received the kindness of strangers, and he had never thought in his heart that anyone would save him.

At that time, I just wanted to find my family as soon as possible. If I could find them, I might be able to survive, but if I couldn’t, I would die.

Ji Lang was like a beam of colorful light in his life, suddenly appearing in his black and white world and making an oasis grow in his barren heart.

Qing Jiu is not good at expressing himself, but at this moment he looked at Ji Lang with bright eyes and said, "Baby, thank you." Thank you for your sudden appearance, thank you for saving me, thank you for accepting me and my family, and thank you for giving us a completely different life.

His eyes were full of love, how could Ji Lang not see it, his heart also felt warm, he leaned close to Qing Jiu's lips and pecked him, "Thank you too." Thank you for giving me a home and family, for giving my heart a sense of belonging, and for allowing me, who had been floating without knowing when to reach the shore, to finally stand firmly on land.

The two wanted to stay together for a while, but Liefeng in front suddenly stopped and called out to the two people behind him.

Why are these two always hanging out wherever they go? It’s very hot and dangerous outside. Liefeng just wants to catch some prey quickly to fill his stomach and go home to lie down.

Not long after it came out, it began to miss the cool, comfortable doorway with occasional drafts.

"Let's go, Liefeng will be anxious soon." Ji Lang said, and was about to take a step forward, when he was suddenly pulled by Qing Jiu and turned around. The next second, Qing Jiu stepped on the place where Ji Lang had originally stood.

Ji Lang, still in shock, lay on Qing Jiu's back and looked at the ground. He saw that Qing Jiu was stepping on a snake that was still twisting constantly. The snake was about two fingers thick, with the upper half of the snake under his feet having a black and yellow pattern, and the lower half having a black and green pattern. The snake's tail was swinging back and forth, raising a lot of dust, which showed how strong the snake was.

The three dogs who heard the sound and movement also ran back, stood at Qingjiu's feet, stretched their necks and tried to attack the "spicy strips".

Ji Lang's heart, which had been frightened at first, was beating even faster at this moment.

He trembled and said, "Is this...is this worm poisonous?"

Qing Jiu hummed and pushed Ji Lang up, "Lie down, I'll take care of it first."

After saying that, he waved his hand to let the dogs step back, and picked up the sickle hanging around his waist. Fortunately, he hung the sickle blade in front when he hung it, otherwise he might have been cut when he put Ji Lang on his back.

Seeing that the dogs were quite far away, Qing Jiu exerted force with his feet, causing the snake's tail to swing even more vigorously.

Then, he stepped on the round snake head and rubbed it back and forth twice, just like twisting a rope, kicked it away, and chopped it down with the sickle. Blood, which was lighter than the blood of ordinary animals, was stained on the blade. The snake, which was cut into two pieces, was still twisting, and the blood was thrown onto the grass leaves beside it. Ji Lang even felt that a drop of blood was thrown on his face, and he shivered uncontrollably.

Qing Jiu wiped the sickle clean with the grass beside him and patted Ji Lang's butt soothingly.

The three dogs came over, sniffed the smell, and tried to bite the snake body that was cut into two pieces. Knowing that the snake head was where the poison was hidden, Ji Lang was worried that the dogs would be poisoned, so he said, "You, you should cut off the snake head and bury it, don't let the dogs eat it."

If the voice wasn't shaking when he said it, this sentence would still sound quite domineering.

In fact, in addition to the snake head, Ji Lang also wanted to keep the snake gall. It is said that snake gall soaked in wine can clear away heat and detoxify, and can also treat rheumatism and cough. However, Ji Lang has never seen how to soak it. He has only seen ready-made snake gall wine.

He didn't dare to make it himself, what if it turned out to be poisonous by accident?

After being frightened like this, the pink bubble between the two disappeared. After Ji Lang was put down, he didn't dare to put his feet firmly on the ground when walking, for fear of stepping on something accidentally.

I looked back at Qingjiu's big feet. He was so brave that he dared to step on a snake.

Qing Jiu pulled him and pointed at his back, "Come up, I'll carry you."

Ji Lang shook his head, "No, it's too hot." Although he was worried about stepping on something scary, the weather was hot and Qing Jiu had a high body temperature, so he felt hot just by getting close to him, let alone sticking to him all the time.

After refusing, Ji Lang took two steps forward, stopped, and turned back.

"You should carry me on your back."

He was terrified and tormented when taking these two steps. It would be better to be burned than to be like this.

After all, when they return, Qingjiu and he will have to carry firewood, so they will have to rely on themselves then.

Qing Jiu smiled helplessly, walked to his side and leaned down slightly.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or because the high position allows me to get a little cool breeze, but sitting on Qing Jiu’s back doesn’t feel as hot as Ji Lang had imagined.

Moreover, Qingjiu walked steadily and quickly, much faster than Jilang walked by himself.

There were mountains under his feet, and Ji Lang always felt like he was sliding forward when he walked. His toes were always hit by his shoes, and sometimes his toes would bleed when he came back from the next climb. But when Qing Jiu walked, it was as if he was walking on flat ground.

They soon reached the foot of the mountain. The two did not go far away. There were still many dead trees and branches at the foot of the mountain. Ji Lang took a wooden stick in his hand and knocked and picked up branches, while Qing Jiu was chopping broken tree trunks on the side.

There were two large bundles full of things. Qing Jiu was walking in front carrying one bundle, while Ji Lang was following behind carrying the other bundle.

Liefeng, Ermao and Sanmao ate a big snake, then dug up a few gophers in the soil. They had a delicious meal and now followed Jilang happily.

"Stop and rest for a while if you're tired." Qing Jiu said in front.

He should have pulled a cart when he first came out. With Ji Lang's small body carrying such a bundle of firewood, he would probably be exhausted after going up the mountain.

Ji Lang responded, then rested against the ridge of a field by the roadside. This road was specially dug when they went out before, just to facilitate the carts to go up and down. The overall road was flatter than other places, but after all, the slope of the mountain here was still a bit steep. After walking for a while, Ji Lang felt that he was sweating all over.

Qing Jiu in front had already walked a long way. Ji Lang knew that he could not catch up with him at this speed, so he just walked and rested. Lie Feng and the two puppies were running beside him, so he didn't need to worry too much.

It's strange. Ji Lang used to think that he was one of the stronger ones in physical fitness among his classmates and friends, but now compared with this group of people, he has become a foil.

Qing Jiu put the firewood in front of the door and hurried down the mountain. Ji Lang was halfway up the mountain at this time. He was very tired. He put the firewood on a stone by the roadside and sat aside to play with Da Mao and Er Mao.

Seeing Qingjiu coming back, he didn't feel embarrassed or surprised. He waved to Qingjiu to come over and sit for a while.

Even though the stone was so hot from the sun, I couldn't sit on it for more than a few minutes.

Ji Lang ran outside once, but didn't dare to go out anymore. Qing Jiu and Feng ran down the mountain twice, but Ji Lang didn't follow them.

Instead, he began to check the molds that had been fired before. Jilang fired two deep pottery jars for smelting iron.

Considering that this thing would burn endlessly, the dogs and children would usually come out to play in the yard, especially Sa Shi's two cubs, who would run three laps around the yard every day, holding on to the wall, shouting as they ran. There was no place in the whole yard that they could not go to. It would be a bit dangerous to smelt iron in the yard.

So I can only burn pottery in the kiln, which requires adding firewood from time to time. The cave, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, has not been very cool recently. Sometimes I take a nap at noon and I sweat a lot.

The days are long in the warm season, and we were busy for a long time in the afternoon, so we had dinner early. Actually, it was not too early. Ji Lang calculated the time and it was already past seven o'clock in the old world, but the sun had not set yet, so it was not so hot. Everyone was not idle either, and they went out together, pulling the carts to transport firewood.

Ji Lang pointed to the place where there was already no trace left and said, "It's here. I was still standing there and didn't notice anything, but Qing Jiu threw me onto his back. Then I glanced over and saw a worm under Qing Jiu's feet." He is still a little frightened when he talks about it now.

Li knew that he was fine, but he still couldn't help but worry and asked, "What kind of worm does it look like?"

Ji Lang began to describe it with gestures.

"Fortunately, it didn't bite you. It is said that this kind of long insect will eat poisonous things and then hide the poison in its teeth, and release it when it bites people." Li said, patting his chest with relief.

Ji Lang didn't expect that it was actually a poisonous snake, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

It seems that he needs to find some time to go out and dig some Impatiens and marigolds to plant around the yard. He doesn't want to see a fallen snake while sitting in the yard one day.

There is strength in numbers. A group of people pulled the load back and forth twice and carried some more on their backs, piling them in a small pile outside the door.

"Why didn't you pick some wild vegetables?" Usually when Li and Lan went out, they would pick some wild vegetables that he didn't recognize. Today, they went down the mountain twice, but they didn't pick any wild vegetables. This made Ji Lang very strange.

Lan stood by the sink washing her hands. "After a day in the sun, the wild vegetables are all wilted." They tasted the same, but they didn't look fresh enough. After saying this, Lan was stunned for a moment. Since when did she start to be so picky about food and drink? She had never been like this before. After all, at that time, it was good enough to have anything to eat.

Whenever I have the chance to go out, no matter what time it is, I will pick wild vegetables and fruits and bring them back, even if the vegetables are so bitter that they are difficult to swallow, or the fruits are so sour that they make people nauseous, as long as they are not poisonous, I will not let them go.

They had clearly gone through a period like this in the last warm season, but looking back now, it seemed so far away.

I couldn't help but feel more grateful to Ji Lang.

Because the bamboo water pipe is buried in the soil, the water it brings is from near the spring, which always has a cool and sweet taste. In such hot weather, washing your face comfortably with this cool water is so satisfying.

If he hadn't considered the woman at home, he would have wanted to strip naked and squat under the water pipe to take a cold shower.

Of course, this is only imagination.

In fact, he could only sit miserably on the small stool, watching Xiaoman happily playing with water in the basin, and wiping his body with a towel sadly.

Qing Jiu came in from outside and saw his expression. He reached out and patted his hair which was still dripping with water. "What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

Ji Lang threw the towel into the basin and leaned back, his back pressed against the man's legs, which were still cold after being washed. "I also want to sit in the basin and take a shower." He realized it belatedly, "That's not right. Why are you taking a shower outside? Aren't Lan and Sasuke outside?"

Qing Jiu originally wanted to say, "It's right here, what's wrong? They won't look around randomly."

Later, I thought that this person sometimes cares a lot about the distance between men and women, so I said, "Sister Lan and Sa have gone back to the house. There's no one outside now. Do you want to go take a shower? I'll watch over you."

"Okay!" Ji Lang immediately agreed excitedly.

He stood up and was about to leave when he thought of Xiaoman who was still in the basin. He picked him up and held him under his armpit, "Come on, son, let's go out and take a shower."

Xiaoman laughed loudly, "Let's go."

It wasn't completely dark yet, but if there was a person ten meters away, you could only tell it was a person.

The visibility was just right for Ji Lang. Even if he saw someone coming out while he was rushing towards her, the water pipe was so far away from the door that he couldn't see anything clearly.

Besides, he wasn't completely naked, he was wearing boxer briefs.

The big and the small were laughing and making noises while washing, and their laughter could be heard down the mountain and even echoed.

Qing Jiu resigned himself to helping the two of them pick up the dirty clothes that had been thrown far away because of the noise. They didn't dare to make such noise even during the day, let alone at night.

After all, no one knows if there are any dangers lurking around, and it would be troublesome if someone was attracted by the sound.

But now, Qingjiu is not worried, Jilang and Xiaoman are even less worried, and the whole family is not worried. Their yard is safe enough, and they have powerful enough weapons. Even if they encounter trouble, they have the conditions to deal with the other party.

Maybe it was because he finally took a comfortable cold shower, or maybe it was because he was tired during the day and played crazy with Xiaoman for a long time. In any case, Jilang slept soundly and comfortably.

Recently, I have been woken up by the heat every morning, but this morning it was chilly. It is not good to sleep for too long. Ji Lang now always feels dizzy and has a feeling of what year it is.

I sat on the kang in a daze for a while, listening to the childish voices in the yard, babbling something, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses.
