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

Chapter 193 City 13

Chapter 193 City 13

I don’t know whether it was because the road and the guide were successfully built, or because those people who came to exchange salt really did “promote” it, but within half a month, three or four more waves of people came to exchange salt.

The primitive residents here were short of supplies. After arriving at the Taoli tribe, they found everything curious. They originally wanted to exchange for salt, and later they exchanged for salt, sugar, and some useful gathering tools. Some even wanted to exchange for some colorful clothes. Unfortunately, the things they brought were so few that after exchanging for salt, they could get even fewer things.

Although nothing was said at the moment, this tribe with abundant resources, harmonious relationships, and smiles on everyone's face has left a different memory in the hearts of these people.

However, as more people come, everyone has to be extra careful. After all, many tribes will do anything to get food and shelter.

Recently, Xishi has been taking the dogs out more and more often, as if he had discovered something wrong around them.

Qingjiu got up early in the morning and had to go out for some investigation today.

The sun rises early in the warm season. The sun shines on the window, making the room much brighter than usual. Xiaoman was still asleep. Ji Lang carefully got off the kang, put on some clothes and went out.

Sa Shi was squatting at the entrance of the cave, brushing his teeth. "Hey, why are you up so early today?"

"Qingjiu said he was going to the lake today. I'll go with him to check on the condition of our water pipes. If there's any problem, we'll replace them." Ji Lang yawned. There was a hint of chill in the air, mixed with the smell of earth and grass, which was very refreshing.

Including Ji Lang, there are eight people in the team. After Xishi came back last night, he said that he felt the presence of other people by the lake, but he couldn't find where the people were. He was not sure whether they were people who came to exchange salt and took a short rest by the lake, or if there were any malicious intruders in the tribe.

Sanmao and his two cubs ran happily in front of the team. After the warm season came, they began to shed hair like crazy, especially when they ran, there was dog hair everywhere.

Ji Lang rubbed his nose and felt that the air was full of hair and his nose began to itch.

Feng, who was walking in front of him, had a tuft of long dog hair on his head. It was very conspicuous against his chestnut hair, and it swayed as he walked, like a small braid, which was quite funny.

"Woof woof woof!" The dogs' anxious barking interrupted Ji Lang's wandering thoughts. Usually, they barked like this when they were in danger or saw a stranger.

Sure enough, there was a trap on the road leading to the lake. It was filled with sharpened bamboos, some broken bones, and gray powder sprinkled on top. It looked very suspicious.

This somewhat "clumsy" trap reminded Ji Lang of the trap he made to catch pheasants and rabbits when he first arrived in this world. It was somewhat similar to this one.

If the people who go out don't have any clothes or dogs, they may accidentally step into a trap like this if they are a little careless.

But they had made numerous traps in the winter to catch prey and train the animals, so this crudely made "trap" was child's play.

In a few seconds, the few of them kicked away the grass used to "camouflage" the trap, dug some soil and buried the trap directly.

Xi Shi smiled and said, "These people are quite cunning."

"What's going on, brother?" Feng leaned over. His perception was not as sharp as Xishi's, so he was a little confused at the moment.

"They spread a lot of things with strange smells on the mountain, which will affect our judgment." But why did Xishi feel that this trick was so familiar? Isn't this the method he used to deal with the beasts?

Is he still a beast tamer?

Ji Lang thought about his itchy nose just now and began to worry, "No wonder my nose felt so uncomfortable just now, is it poisonous?"

Xi Shi shook his head. "It's not poisonous, but it will make it difficult for us and the dog to determine where their scent is."

The other party was not stupid. If they spread the poison directly in the mountains, they might suffer themselves. So they dug a trap and put the powder made from burnt poisonous grass inside.
