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

Qing Jiu also looked straight at the two big guys with cold eyes.

Thinking of Ji Lang who had fainted, he reached out and took off the wooden gun from his waist, pulled out a steel ball, fixed it, and pulled the trigger at the two apes.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and the wooden spear did not have that much power. It was a bit off and hit one of the apes' feet, leaving a small hole and raising dust.

Xishi also took off the bow and arrow he was carrying. It happened that the iron arrowheads had not been used properly since they were burned.

You can give it a try.

They are not afraid of conflicts. At times like this, it is a good thing to fight earlier. If the conflict is resolved earlier, more resources can be left for them to use. After all, the food in the mountains is becoming less and less as time goes by.

Even though the wooden spear did not injure the apes, these two apes should not be underestimated. After all, they are so far away. If they get closer, you will know how powerful they are.

Seeing that Xishi had pulled up a bigger thing, he didn't dare to continue the stalemate. He turned around and jumped onto the platform on the mountain, climbed up the mountain as if walking on flat ground, and disappeared into the valley.

This speed was like following a rabbit, and Xishi and Qingjiu were both frightened.

They didn't know before that these guys were so agile in the mountains.

The two looked at each other, and before they could say anything, the stunned tree said, "Wow, you are so flexible. What kind of weapons do you have? They are also very powerful."

Sa Shi glanced over and said, "You don't understand this, this is the secret weapon of our tribe."

Along the way, he studied bows and arrows and wooden spears, and dug up some wild vegetables and white roots.

When the group of people came back, Ji Lang was roasting potatoes in the yard with a group of little kids. The new potatoes were soft and fragrant when cooked. Xiaoman and Xingxing and the other little ones had black dust on their faces from eating so much. Even the older kids Wu and Xiaopang had black spots on their mouths.

Hearing the knock on the door, Feng Qi opened it.

"You're back, come and try these new potatoes, they're very delicious." Ji Lang greeted the group of people who came back in a hurry.

Qing Jiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he looked very energetic. Although the man said that nothing was wrong, he was still worried.

Ji Lang was not stingy and he roasted half of a large basket of potatoes. After all, there were many people among them and if each person ate one, it would take twenty or thirty potatoes.

The potato in his hand was so hot that he could hardly hold it steadily, but as he smelled the tempting aroma, he was reluctant to let go. He tossed it back and forth with his two hands, making the children laugh.

Xiaopang broke the potato in his hand, which was no longer hot, into two halves and handed one half to Dashu, "Chief, you eat this."

Dashu was not polite. He put the potato in his hand on the ground, reached out to take the half, and touched Xiaopang's sweaty head. "Good boy, you are still good to me."

The man was eating potatoes with his mouth busy. "Wow, this stuff tastes better when roasted than cooked. No wonder those apes came to dig it. You don't know, when we got to the mountain, we saw two big apes. They were two people tall. They stood there like a small mountain, and they were very agile. They jumped to the top of the mountain and disappeared."

Xiao Pang was stunned when he heard this. "Are they so powerful? Then why did they run away?"

Da Shu boasted, "That's because we are so powerful. You don't know how fast the leader's strange weapon is. He took it out and swung it, and it flew out in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it hit the apes' feet and scared them away."

Little Fatty's eyes sparkled after hearing this. He was very envious and wanted to see what it looked like. However, he also knew that weapons were only used in times of conflict and were not toys.

Originally, Xishi and Qingjiu thought that if they knew where these guys were, they could wipe them out in one fell swoop. But after actually taking a look, they realized how cautious they were. The place they were in was extremely dangerous, and they were more familiar with the terrain, so it would be difficult to attack them by force.

But they have to go out to find food anyway, especially now that they know there is food to eat here.

Ji Lang broke off half a potato and handed it to Qing Jiu who was sitting next to him, asking him to eat it. "What do you think we should do to dig up the potatoes, and then use the potatoes I have harvested in the past few months to plant another wave."

Although they were reluctant to do so, after all, the potatoes would still grow bigger if they continued to grow for another half a month, but since they were being targeted by the apes, they could not continue to watch them in the fields at night. There were several large fields and it would be impossible to watch them all. Even if those guys could not dig up much, what if they had bad intentions and could destroy them if they could not dig them up?

Qing Jiu pondered for a moment and looked towards Xi Shi.

"Let Liefeng and the puppies watch over the fields at night." Xishi said. He didn't want to harvest so early, and even if they harvested the potatoes, the corn, peppers, and pumpkins were not yet ripe, and those apes could still destroy them. Relatively speaking, the potatoes buried in the ground were safer.

Ji Lang also thought of this and nodded, "Okay, then don't worry about it. Just be careful recently. I see that there are quite a few pumpkins in the field. I can pick a few tender pumpkins to cook later."

Young pumpkins can be used as vegetables, old pumpkins can be used as staple food, and pumpkin seeds can be used as snacks. It is really a treasure from head to toe.

The peppers in the field were similar to the last time, but they were all quite big. Ji Lang was content and had picked them and eaten them several times. He didn't know if it was because he grew them himself and there was a psychological effect when he ate them, or if the peppers grown in this field were really delicious. Anyway, Ji Lang felt that they tasted much better than those he grew from the brush.

If he was really abused by the apes, he would be heartbroken.

After all, they really take care of these pieces of land with great care. Every morning they have to carry water to irrigate the fields. Several people are busy until the sun is high in the sky before going back. It takes more than ten days to irrigate all the fields.

As soon as this round of watering is finished, the next round is about to begin.

Sometimes Qingjiu and his friends would go to the nearby mountains and look over here. This lush green area was very eye-catching among the generally yellowish mountains.

For some reason, he felt a sense of accomplishment, which led to these plots of land being targeted by various small animals and birds. Ji Lang had set up several scarecrows but to no avail. He even used his mobile phone to play music and placed it on the ground, but the small animals still ate the pumpkins and corn stalks. However, the small animals did not eat that much, so it was barely within an acceptable range. If there was a group of apes involved, Ji Lang would really get angry.

However, it is not certain how long the phone will ring. It may be reset soon. These birds and animals are not very afraid of the motionless scarecrow.

It seems that we still have to rely on Liefeng and those puppies.

It was still daylight after dinner when Xishi, carrying a few large bones with meat on them, and followed by a few dogs drooling, walked briskly to the field.

Seeing how attentive he was, Ji Lang continued to sit in the yard and grind white root powder with the mortar. Miaozi lazily lay on the brick next to him and played the game in which the cat's paw must be on the top with Xiaoman.

The little cat, who was usually very impatient with Ji Lang, was calm and peaceful when playing with Xiaoman. Ji Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, very dissatisfied with this double-standard guy.

However, this guy, the goats and ducks at home have become thinner recently, even Liefeng and the puppies have lost weight. The weather is hot and everyone's appetite is not very good, but Miaozi has become a lot rounder, with his little belly lying on the brick. I don't know what he ate outside before coming back.

Early in the morning, Ji Lang was thinking about the situation in the fields. Qingjiu woke up and just went out, so he got off the kang. When he arrived in the yard, he saw Xishi holding a hoe at the door. Ji Lang hurriedly picked up a hoe and planned to follow him.

Before he had taken two steps, Qing Jiu lifted the kitchen door curtain and called him, "Why are you going out if you're not eating breakfast?"

"I'll go take a look and come back to eat." Ji Lang said.

Qing Jiu came out and took down his hoe, "Eat first, it won't take much time, after you finish eating we'll go together."

Ji Lang thought about it and realized that he was indeed a little hungry, "Okay."

The two of them went into the kitchen and quickly shared a large pancake, and drank a bowl of white root porridge like a storm.

With the addition of sugar and dried fruits, it is sweet and delicious.

Ji Lang always feels that this white root looks a bit like yam, but it is much larger than yam. It may be a different variety.

"Would you like to bring a cake to Xishi?"

Jilang asked.

Qing Jiu walked in front and picked up the backpack placed at the kitchen door. He weighed it and heard the sound of water cups colliding inside. "There have been biscuits and water in the past few years, which is enough for them to eat."

Qing Jiu walked fast, his feet like the wind, and the dust he raised was heavy. In the past, his trouser legs would be soaked by dew when he went out early in the morning, but this happened every day in the past, and Qing Jiu could not remember the last time his trouser legs were wet. Instead, every time he came back from going out, the dirt on his clothes was enough to hold a brick.

There are traces of carts running over the road leading to the fields. There are several trips every day, and water is often accidentally spilled. The weeds on the roadside grow with the help of the spilled water and are much more lush than those in other places.

But it is not as good as the last warm season. At that time, Jilang could easily pick a basket full of tender ferns when going up and down the mountain. But now, along the way, there are only a few ferns that are not very healthy and do not look delicious at all.

Ji Lang was a little worried. Most of the dried vegetables, fruits and noodles that people eat in the winter season are grown at this time. But now, the mountains look dry and yellow. If a spark falls accidentally, it will burn everything in one breath. People can't pick edible wild vegetables and mushrooms, and can't store food. How difficult the winter season must be.

Ji Lang was very upset. It was hard to find bamboo shoots these days. Damn it, God, was he really going to starve them to death?

He was so focused when he was thinking that he didn't even notice that Qingjiu in front of him had stopped, and he bumped into Qingjiu's backpack.

Covering his forehead that was rubbed, Ji Lang asked in confusion, "Why did you stop?" Qing Jiu turned around at this time, with a look of joy on his face.

He pointed to a dark cloud on the top of a distant mountain and said, "That's a rain cloud. It's going to rain over there!"

Ji Lang looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a dark cloud in the distance. It looked very low, as if the cloud connected the top of the mountain with the sky. Although he was not good at weather forecasting, the word "rain cloud" was still very simple and rough.

"Wow! Will it rain here too?" It is no exaggeration to say that Ji Lang has been really anxious recently. The water level in the lake is getting lower and lower, and the wild vegetables and prey brought back are getting less and less. Sometimes they are not enough to eat on the same day, let alone store them until the cold season. If there were only a dozen people as before, then there would be no problem with the food in the fields, let alone a cold season, even a cycle would not be a problem. But now they have more than twenty people, and there are still some who have not come on the way, and it is not known how many there are. They can't run all the way here and then starve to death.

Qing Jiu, "I don't know if the wind will blow. If it blows, it might blow over here."

"Then let's go ask Xishi." Ji Lang said. He could already see Xishi and the others from here. He was also standing at the edge of the field, looking in the direction of the rain clouds.

Even from such a distance, you can hear the excitement of the big trees.

Yelling, but I couldn't hear what he was saying.

Hearing the sound of Ji Lang and Qing Jiu coming over, Xi Shi turned around and greeted them with an obvious smile on his face. His voice was much louder and he was a little excited. "Qing Ge, Ji Lang, look, it's rain clouds. It's going to rain."

After two or three steps, Ji Lang also laughed, "Will it come over, Yuyun? Qingjiu said it depends on whether there is wind."

"There is wind! It will come over." Xi Shi was very sure.

As if in response to him, as soon as he finished speaking, a light breeze blew by, causing the leaves in the cornfield to rustle.

It’s really windy!

And it was a cool, moist wind.

The group of people had happy expressions on their faces. They really relied on the weather for their livelihood. If God was in a bad mood, who knows how many people would disappear quietly in the next cold season.

Thinking it was going to rain, everyone stopped watering the fields. Instead, they weeded the fields, loosened the soil, and picked some half-red peppers, dug two baskets of potatoes, and picked a few young pumpkins.

We returned home in great joy, so happy that we even caught the New Year.

Only when they got home did Ji Lang remember that he had brought some bread for them in his backpack.

The food was a little wet from being wrapped in the plastic bag, but they didn't mind. They stood by the water pipe, washed their hands, and then came over to eat. People like Dashu didn't have the habit of washing their hands and faces before, so Ji Lang looked down on them. However, he only showed disgust on his face and never talked about it. However, the expression on his face was too obvious. Every time they were looked at with such disgust, the group of people gradually started to feel uneasy and ran to ask Xishi, who seemed to have the best temper among the group.

Xi Shi, "You guys didn't wash your faces or hands before eating after digging and going to the toilet. Ji Lang thinks you are unhygienic, so he dislikes you."

......

From then on, Dashu and his group would wash their hands before every meal.

The rain clouds were still far away from here and it would not rain for a while. After finishing their meal, Dashu and his friends continued to dig the cave.
