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

"Are you awake?" There was a rare hint of urgency on his expressionless face.

Ji Lang sat up suddenly, his head still dizzy, and he shook uncomfortably. His throat was dry and sore, and he spoke with difficulty, "What's wrong? Is there... Is there any water?"

Qing Jiu didn't have time to speak.

"some!"

Xiaoman's crying had not yet subsided. She shouted two words in a trembling voice and went to get the cup of water placed in the doorway.

The calves ran so fast that they left afterimages.

Ji Lang looked at Qing Jiu in surprise, "Did you bully him? Why are you crying?"

A few minutes later, Ji Lang pinched his brows and admitted the fact that he was a loser.

He fainted briefly due to the extreme tension and rapid running.

......

I have to make good use of my time to exercise. My physical strength is not as good as before.

Dashu also told the people staying at home what they had encountered.

Qing Jiu thought of the direction the ape had fled, looked at everyone, and said solemnly, "Recently, they have been going out in groups of four or five. They are very vengeful. During the winter season, a group of apes came here. Later, because of the avalanche we caused, I don't know if there were serious casualties or they left. I guess this ape is from that group." The rest of the words were said to Da Shu and the new people behind him.

Da Shu suddenly understood something, "No wonder it rushed over like crazy when it saw us. It turned out it saw the enemy who wanted to destroy our clan."

Damn, it’s scary just thinking about it. When he was closest to him, he could feel the wind from the guy’s swinging hoe, which almost made a big hole in his head.

Ji Lang muttered to himself, you have a good ability to accept things. Besides, how can we be considered as enemies who want to exterminate our clan? Every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Let’s go and seek revenge on Xue Shan.

I don’t know how many companions the ape has. It must be difficult for him to hide in the mountains for such a long time without being discovered by them.

"The ape's calf was chopped by Brother Guo and is bleeding. It escaped with such a big move that it must have left some traces. Xishi and I will go check it out tomorrow to determine their location and number." Qingjiu said as he helped Ji Lang, who had recovered.

Ji Lang was not afraid of losing face in front of him, so he ran desperately for a while. Now his thighs were sore and his legs had no strength. Almost all the strength of his body was on Qing Jiu.

Even so, he still weakly reminded, "You... bring a few more people, how come this ape is so big."

He had only seen it from a distance during the winter season before, and thought it was just like a gorilla. But the one he and Dashu saw today was much taller than him when it was squatting there digging potatoes, and when it was running after him, it looked like it was twice as tall as him. That kind of oppressive feeling was really impossible to ignore.

"By the way, let's go back and take a look at the potatoes in the field. This beast actually found its way into our field in search of food. I wonder how much it has dug up." Ji Lang felt sad just thinking about it. The potatoes he planted with his own hands and carefully cared for were dug up by the ape before he had a chance to dig them. And judging from the way it looked, it didn't look like it could dig the potatoes properly. I don't know how much it has wasted.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I couldn't help but feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

It was so uncomfortable that Ji Lang almost fell to the ground after taking two steps. Qing Jiu picked him up by the waist and led him into the inner courtyard.

After being placed on the head of the Kang, Ji Lang rolled directly onto the Kang. It was a bit embarrassing, but Ji Lang was open-minded and felt no longer embarrassed after waking up from a good sleep.

The weather was already hot and his face was burning, so Ji Lang didn't cover himself with a blanket and lay in the middle of the kang with his arms and legs spread.

Qing Jiu stayed by his side the whole time without saying a word, but the worry in his eyes could not be ignored.

Ji Lang raised his hand to beckon him over, but he didn't move lazily. He stretched out his hands to touch Qing Jiu's face while lying down. The stubble on his chin prickled him a little. "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Qing Jiu shook his head. He wanted to pretend that he was not worried, but the cold sweat on his palms had not dried yet.

He spoke a little uneasily, "Are you really okay? Do you want to take some medicine?"

"No, I was just too nervous and ran too fast. I fainted for a while. I'll be fine after a rest." Ji Lang said, touching his prickly chin. "I'll shave you after I've rested."

Before meeting Ji Lang, Qing Jiu shaved his beard himself with a bone knife, always leaving a short layer of stubble.

After Ji Lang came, he had a razor and a blade. Qing Jiu was not used to it at first and kept cutting himself, so Ji Lang started helping him shave.

"Yeah." Qing Jiu responded in a low voice.

I took a piece of clothing and covered Ji Lang with it, "Go get some sleep."

Closing his eyes, Ji Lang also felt a little tired. Qing Jiu's big hand touched his hair soothingly, making him feel comfortable and at ease.

When he was half asleep, he noticed a warm little guy coming towards him. Ji Lang didn't mind the heat, he reached out and took the little guy into his arms, and fell asleep holding Xiaoman.

Xiaoman snuggled in Ji Lang's arms and slept for a while. He couldn't stand the heat, but he wasn't sleepy either. Knowing that his father was fine, he felt relieved. He slid down the kang along the small ladder and went to play in the yard.

After Ji Lang was carried into the house by Qing Jiu, more than a dozen people from the West could no longer sit still and quickly went to the field to check the potatoes.

When they arrived at the place and saw the potatoes that were much bigger than their fists, they were very surprised. In the previous reincarnation, Xishi knew that the potatoes could be dug up when their branches and leaves began to turn yellow. But now, although the branches and leaves were wilted by the sun, there were no dry branches or yellow leaves in this large area of ​​potatoes, which meant that the potatoes could still grow. They were already this big now. When they were mature, how big would they be!

Xi Shi instantly became happy.

His laughter made even the big trees nearby feel a little confused.

As for that, didn't they grow it themselves? Why is it still like this?

The ape was also greedy. He collected the potatoes he dug and filled most of the basket. Some of them were half-eaten. Xishi threw the half-eaten ones down the mountain while cursing in his heart.

This beast is wasting food. If he wanted to eat something, he would just point at one and finish it, but now he takes a bite of each one. Is he trying to pick out which one is the most delicious?

Apes eat everything. Unless you have no other choice, you should not eat anything they have eaten, as you can easily get sick.

Xishi and everyone else dug up the dozen or so potato beds that had been dug up again and picked up half a basket.

This output is even more impressive than last time.

Xishi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. He had thought about the weather conditions several times recently and always felt not optimistic. He had a sense of uneasiness that could not be ignored.

Now that they knew they could harvest a lot of potatoes, they didn't have to worry too much about food. Otherwise, the wild vegetables they had stored and the little flour, fruit, and bean flour left over from the previous cold season would not last long.

Dashu and his friends would often dig up wild vegetables and white roots, but it was just enough to eat and they couldn't save any surplus.

After Ji Lang got up, he still felt very uncomfortable, but fortunately he didn't feel so dizzy anymore. It was very hot outside. The moment he came out of the cave, there seemed to be a wave of hot air coming towards him, making him wonder if there was a fire outside the yard. He didn't want to live on the Flaming Mountain.

The water in the pipe flows from the lake and runs underground, so it feels cool when it flows out. Ji Lang feels like washing his face comfortably at this moment.

When I walked to the doorway, I saw a basket of potatoes behind the door at a glance.

!!!

"Oh my god! The potatoes have grown so big?" Ji Lang couldn't help but shout out.

Li came out of the kitchen upon hearing the sound and said with a smile, "Is Xiaolang awake? They caught some fish and I made some fish soup for you to nourish yourself. Come and have some."

Ji Lang pointed at the basket of potatoes and said, "Are these the ones that the ape dug out?"

Li nodded, "That beast did a lot of damage. I heard from Xishi that he dug more than ten nests and gnawed some of them and threw them away."

Oh my god~ There are ten nests in one basket, and a lot of them are thrown away. The yield is good, and the fish are big.

Sure, sure. It's worth their hard work in watering and weeding during this period.

Ji Lang's mood instantly improved, "I'll go wash my face and come back to drink soup."

Feeling very happy, we went out of the outer yard. Xiaoman and Wu, along with Xingxing and a few other children, were squatting on the ground playing something.

Ji Lang leaned over, "What are you doing?"

Xiaoman immediately looked up, with a smile of surprise on his face, "Father, are you awake?"

Otherwise, his hands would be covered in mud and he would want to go up and hug Ji Lang's legs.

Wu glanced at Ji Lang, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "We're going to make pottery tonight, and Brother Qing asked us to make our own pottery bowls."

In fact, the children were too noisy, and Qingjiu had no choice but to find something to keep them busy.

These children are not noisy ones. They usually help with the work and collecting. But in this weather, it is too hot for adults to go out to collect, and they can't collect much. They are worried that the children will get sunburned, so they don't take them with them. But when there are more children, they chatter with each other and it becomes lively. The yard is full of noise made by them. Qing Jiu can't stand the noise anymore and can only think of this solution.

Ji Lang nodded in understanding, went to the water pipe and washed his face comfortably, feeling much refreshed. The water trough next to the water pipe was now exposed to the sun, and the ducks had gone under the tree to cool off. There were a lot of duck feathers floating on the water trough.

Take the bamboo net next to you, scoop out the duck feathers and throw them into the basket on the ground. Save them for making clothes later. The weather is hot and the duck feathers have a smell. After soaking them in the sink for a day, the smell will also be very strong.

He ate a quick bite early in the morning and went out. Later he ran and jumped all the time. After a good sleep, Ji Lang was very hungry.

"Have you had lunch?" Ji Lang asked the group of little kids squatting under the tree.

"I've eaten." Several small voices sounded at the same time.

"Okay, I'll go in and eat." Ji Lang was about to walk into the courtyard when he suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Wu, "By the way, Wu, where are your brother Qing and the others?"

Wu held the small bowl in his hand and looked up and said, "They went to find the location of the ape."

No wonder they were all away. Ji Lang felt a little confused. After all, he remembered that Qing Jiu said he would go there tomorrow before he went to bed.

However, the children certainly didn't know the reason behind this matter, so Ji Lang went into the inner courtyard and planned to ask Li what happened during dinner.

After drinking two mouthfuls of soup, Ji Lang asked Li, who was still busy sorting out the dried vegetables, "Aunt Li, why did they go looking for the orangutans today?"

"It was Xishi. After he came back from the field, he called everyone together and told them about this. He said that the potatoes in the field were growing really well, and that ape ate a lot of them. It's hard to find food outside now, and several fields here are full of potatoes. That guy will definitely tell his companions when he returns to the nest. Maybe he will come to steal our food again at night. We can feel at ease if we find out their situation as soon as possible." Li felt a little upset when she talked about this. Not only did Xishi go, but Sashi also went, leaving behind the two cubs who were making trouble. She was really troubled after watching them for a while, and she finally coaxed the two little ancestors to sleep, and then she had time to do some work.

"Are they all going?" Ji Lang was a little surprised. After all, it was rare to encounter a situation where all the combat forces were out.

Li, "No, Guo Qi and Feng went to help those people dig a cave. They just started digging and didn't understand many things, so they called Guo Qi to help."

The apes in the mountains are very cautious. They hide on cliffs in the deep mountains. It is difficult for people to get close to them, and getting too close may easily alarm them. Xishi does not want to take the risk.

We can only search for traces from the places where they usually come out and roughly estimate the number of apes.

Fortunately, these guys are usually careless when they go out, and the footprints they leave behind are very obvious. In addition, the weather is dry, and the weeds and bushes are dry, so they can't block anything.

Xishi squatted down to check and found fresh blood on the ground. He looked at it several times.

"How is it?" Qing Jiu asked in a low voice.

Xishi pointed at the marks on the ground, "Five or six big ones, and two small ones, less than ten in total."

"How do you know there are five or six? What if they are the same one?" asked Dashu curiously.

Xishi motioned him to look at the ground, "Look at the size of the footprints, they are different."

Orangutans are similar to humans. They usually walk on their hind legs, and only use their front legs occasionally when climbing mountains or escaping.

Dashu came over and put his foot into the bloody footprint. "Wow, it's really big. This one foot is worth two of mine."

He hit the nail on the head this time. Apes are large in size, have thick skin and flesh, are agile, and can even learn to use tools like humans.

It took Qing Jiu and Guo Qi to subdue the ape in the field this morning. If there were five or six of them, even if everyone took action, they might not be able to subdue them.

Xishi was about to say something when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from the mountain. He immediately looked up alertly.

On the edge of the cliff, there stood two apes, not smaller than the previous one, staring straight at the crowd below the mountain. They seemed to be very angry about the appearance of this group of people because of the injury of their companions, but also a little wary of this group of people and the sharp weapons in their hands.
