After listening to Xiaoying, Li said with a bit of blame and a bit of heartache, "You are so brave. Don't you know that there are a few apes in the mountains recently? What if they run into you?"

"Ape?" Xiaoying paused while wiping her hair, thought for a moment and said, "Is it from the ape group in Han Ji before?"

"That's right, they are so bad. They came to steal our potatoes. Several nests of good potatoes were ruined by them." Li said.

Jilang: ...

There aren't several nests, just a few.

Xiaoying said angrily, "What?! Several litters? These beasts, are they for food?"

Uh...good, exaggeration is more likely to cause anger.

"That's not right. Are you injured? Apes are not easy to deal with." Xiaoying asked belatedly.

When Ji Lang was about to describe the danger of that day, Xiao Man, who had appeared out of nowhere, spoke directly, "No one was injured, but father fainted from fright."

……

My good son, it seems that you have to have a complete childhood. You must eat fried bamboo shoots with pork today.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I just... ran too fast and didn't get enough blood supply to my brain, so I passed out." Ji Lang explained weakly.

Xiaoying didn't understand what cerebral ischemia, but he still patted Ji Lang's shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, that thing is very scary, it's not shameful to faint from fright."

Ji Lang felt hopeless and felt that he couldn't get rid of this matter.

Broken.

While they were talking, Lan had already heated up a pot of steamed buns and fried some bacon with a handful of wild onions. The aroma of the wild onions was overbearing, and not only Xiaoying, who hadn't eaten any delicious food for a long time, but even Ji Lang was drooling.

The rain was a little lighter, and Ye stayed in his room for a while before coming to the kitchen wearing a raincoat.

Xiaoying, who was sweating while eating, quickly called out to him, "Come quickly, these bacon and these big steamed buns are so delicious. If you don't come, I'll finish them all." He was exaggerating a bit. Lan ate six or seven steamed buns, but he only ate the second one. He only ate a small portion of the big bowl of fried bacon.

Ye washed his hands and sat down, eating with big mouthfuls. He had brought seasonings with him when he was outside, so he wasn't hungry along the way, but he just missed the food at home.

While the two of them were eating, the others, some sitting and some standing, crowded into the kitchen, chatting and laughing.

Just as we were having fun, suddenly a "bang" sound came from the room next door, followed by a loud cry.

Sa Shi and Xi Shiyi slapped their thighs, stood up and hurried out of the kitchen. It must be little Tao Rong or little Tao An who fell off the kang.

Sure enough, as soon as the door curtain was opened, little Tao Rong was seen sitting on the ground, covering his head and crying miserably.

The two kids had fallen asleep, but the laughter in the next room was so loud that it woke her up. She had her own ideas at this moment, and as she was at her most active, she immediately climbed over the fence on the kang and wanted to slide down from the head of the kang.

But she overestimated her short legs and hung on the kang, dangling and unable to get up or down. She was frozen for a long time, but there was nothing she could do. She was also a strong-willed person, and even in this situation, she still didn't call for adults to help her.

She simply gritted her teeth and let go and fell down. She was actually relatively safe when she fell, but she didn't stand firmly and fell to the ground. Her head swayed forward and hit the kang.

Xi Shisan hurried in and picked her up from the ground, "Hey, my baby, how did you fall down?"

The little guy was feeling aggrieved at the moment, and he felt even more aggrieved when he saw his father and mother. He pointed at the small bump on his head and said, "Father... Mother... Woo woo woo, bump..."

Sa Shi reached out and touched it gently. Fortunately, the skin was not broken, but swollen. Then he taught her a lesson, "What bag? If you don't listen and it falls down next time, I will beat you up."

Xiaorong pouted, wanting to cry but not daring to, and looked at Am with tears in her eyes.

Sa Shi was moved by her look and accepted her fate by taking the little girl from Xi Shi's arms. He patted her little butt and coaxed her, "Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. Next time, you can't get off the bed by yourself, okay?"

"How many, woooo..." The little head rubbed against Sa Shi's neck dishonestly, acting coquettishly.

While coaxing little Tao Rong, I looked through the bars on the kang and saw that Tao An had woken up at some point, and was staring at the roof with his round eyes.

Sa Shi's eyes met his. It was not known whether it was real or an illusion, but Sa Shi actually sensed from his eyes a hint of "Why are you looking at me? I'm just a kid, what can I do?"

……

He shook his head, thinking it must be an illusion, otherwise this kid would have become a spirit.

In the kitchen, Ye and Xiaoying had already eaten their fill, but they still sat on the wooden stool, rubbing their stomachs and burping with comfort.

The others didn't leave either, and were all asking the two about what happened along the way.

There were only about thirty people left in the Snow Mountain Tribe. Including Xiaoying and Azhou, there were a total of eighteen hunters, six old men, three women, and seven children of various ages.

Among them was an old lady named Xue, who knew something about herbs.

Along the way, Grandma Xue picked a lot of herbs that could be used to treat diseases, but most of the leaves had dried up, so only the roots were left.

The one with a broken leg was bandaged by Grandma Xue using some herbs.

It had rained for most of the day, and the cave was no longer as stuffy as usual. It was even a little cool and comfortable.

Ji Lang lay on the kang with his hands under his head, "I didn't expect them to come back so soon."

I originally thought that it would take at least one or two months to come back. After all, it took Zhou and Xiaoying more than three months to get here with Dayu and his group.

"Xiaoying has a good sense of direction, so she should not be delayed along the way." Qingjiu said softly.

He reached out and pulled the person into his arms. It had been too hot recently. Ji Lang felt that Qing Jiu's body temperature was too high, like a furnace. He didn't want to sleep next to him at night, let alone sleep in his arms. Today was finally cooler and the mood was right, so the two of them made fun of it for most of the night.

After each act, Ji Lang always felt that he was a modern man, but why couldn't he beat Qing Jiu?

How come that hand is so good at touching?

"What are you thinking about?" The low voice was a little hoarse, and inexplicably sexy and alluring.

After rubbing his head against Qing Jiu's strong abdominal muscles for a while, Ji Lang spoke, "I wonder if you are secretly learning excavator driving skills at New Oriental."

?

I don't understand what he is saying, but he always says this from time to time.

If you go to bed late, you will naturally wake up late.

I don’t know when the rain stopped, but this heavy rain soaked the land, so I think it will be a good place for wild vegetables to grow.

The water in the yard flowed out through the underground canal, and there were bricks but no silt. Uncle Lin rarely came out of the house, and sat on a small wooden stool outside the door with a happy look on his face.

Ye made him some magic grass root last night. After drinking it all night, he didn't cough much and slept well. In addition, Ye Ping'an came back, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. He smiled more often.

Ji Lang greeted him from a distance and went into the kitchen to find some food.

There was still a warm feeling in the kitchen. He lifted the lid of the pot and found a few big hot steamed buns left for him.

Just as I was enjoying the delicious cold wild vegetables, the door curtain was lifted and Xiaoman poked her little head in.

"Father."

Ji Lang, "What have you been doing? Why is your head wet?"

Xiaoman's eyes sparkled, "I followed Qing to the fields to pick peppers." He seldom had the opportunity to go out. During the last warm season, at least he could occasionally go to the lake with the adults to play. But this warm season, it was as hot as a furnace outside every day. If it wasn't for finding food, the adults didn't want to go out, let alone take these little kids out.

This morning was a rare one as there was no need to water the fields. After Qingjiu and Guoqi finished their work in the sheep and duck pens, they simply took a few boys to the fields to pick two baskets of green peppers.

"Father, it's the corn you mentioned. There are strange things growing on it." Xiaoman wanted to describe it to Jilang, but with his poor vocabulary, he had no idea how to say it and was scratching his head in frustration.

Ji Lang was stunned and asked him, "Does every corn have small round beans?"

"Yes, yes, some of them have even grown hair." Xiaoman nodded, feeling that his father was really smart. He knew what had grown even though he didn't see it.

He reached out and flicked Xiaoman's head. "What a strange thing! That's corn. It looks like we'll have something delicious soon."

The big and the small were having a quarrel when suddenly it became noisy outside.

Xiaoman, "Ah, it's Zhou who's back. Qing just went down the mountain to pick them up, and Feng brought us back."

"Let's go, let's go and see the people they brought back." Ji Lang took Xiaoman and hurried outside. Although it was not right to think so, these people would be the largest labor force in their tribe in the future. So he had to see what they looked like and whether they were reliable.

As soon as I opened the door, I was surprised to see that the outer courtyard was full of people.

Ji Lang looked over and saw a dozen or so men still standing. Although their faces looked a little tired and were tanned dark, their exposed upper bodies were full of solid muscles.

OK OK.

Good muscle mass.

It seemed that Ji Lang's gaze was too hot, and several people turned around and looked at Ji Lang at the same time.

Ah Zhou's thinner face immediately smiled, "Priest."

Then the eyes of the group of people suddenly became like hungry wolves seeing a piece of meat, instantly becoming hot and sincere.

He stared straight at Ji Lang, as if he wanted to poke a hole in him.

Ji Lang:?

Zhou knew what was going on, but he didn't expect that he had fooled his people too much:...

A little guilty.

Finally, amidst the noisy yet pious conversations of the group, Ji Lang finally understood what was going on.

"Priest, thank you for accepting us."

"Thank the mountain god for the child."

……

Ji Lang, I don’t know what to say, I just feel very complicated.

Anyway, no matter what, the person was indeed brought back to him.

This group of people was led by Zhou to the yard nearby. Although the cave house had not been dug yet, after a day of drying, the yard would be dry in the evening, and they could then set up the tent.

When they left, they kept looking back at Ji Lang, looking reluctant to leave. Even the cart with a dozen tents on it that they were pushing did not attract their attention.

When Qing Jiu came back from the foot of the mountain after checking around, he saw Ji Lang with a complicated expression on his face. He was sitting on a wooden stool under a big tree. He didn't react even when raindrops dripping from the leaves hit his head.

"You don't know how outrageous that guy Zhou is. He actually told the people of the Snow Mountain Tribe that I was the child of the mountain god. Didn't you see that when those people saw me, their eyes were full of fire." As soon as Ji Lang saw Qing Jiu, he couldn't help but start complaining.

The key point is that he doesn’t know whether the mountain god in this world really exists. If he does, what if he is blamed?

After all, he had experienced time travel, so it was not surprising that he traveled to a world with a mountain god.

Qing Jiu felt a little amused when he saw him like this, and wiped the water off his hair with the hem of his clothes, "It's okay, they will gradually get to know about it and it won't be like this anymore."

"No, what if there really is a mountain god here? What if he blames me?" Ji Lang was still worried.

He is just an ordinary man. If he meets a real God, he will be finished.

"Don't worry, the mountain god won't blame you."

"I hope what you said is true."

The flowers, plants and trees in the mountains seemed to have been waiting for this rain for a long time. Within a few days, these long-dormant plants began to grow wildly. The mountains, which originally looked lifeless, immediately became alive like a lake blown by the wind.

Ji Lang was not idle either. He followed Li and burned a few more kilns of bricks, waiting to build kangs for Dashu and Xueshan's people.

And the yard over there also needs to be paved.

But he was still a little worried about those apes hiding in the mountains. He didn't know when these big guys would suddenly come out to attack. After the rain, edible plants in the mountains grew, but it didn't mean they were willing to give up such a large area of ​​rich food.

Although there are so many mountains, the apes can't take away much food, but this doesn't mean they are not in danger.

In particular, they might conclude that the avalanche that nearly wiped out the tribe was caused by these people of the Taotie tribe.

Uh... although that's indeed true.

Ji Lang didn't want the Taotie tribe to face the same situation as the Snow Mountain tribe.

Although not necessarily.

After all, the safety of their yard and cave is still very high.

Including the two groups of people in front and behind, there are now more than 60 people in the entire tribe, and the hunting team forms a long line when they go out.

The children train and study under the big tree in the outer courtyard every day, and occasionally go out with the collection team to get some fresh air. Children naturally like to be lively, and with more friends, Ji Lang feels that Wu and Xiaoman have become much more cheerful.

Although Xiaopang looks like an honest kid, he actually has a lot of bad ideas. Every day he either chases ducks or teases dogs. Occasionally he even rides a sheep, which makes the animals at home very angry when they see him.

Even a good-tempered and smart dog like Liefeng, when he saw Xiaopang coming, he tucked his tail between his legs and ran to the inner yard.
