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

Chapter 147: See you again in the cold season 2

Qing Jiu took the furry hat handed to him by Ji Lang. He felt hot on his head not long after he put it on. He was actually a little uncomfortable with it, but he knew that if he didn't wear it, this person would worry again.

Every time he goes out, he has to stay calm and think. He feels that being a little cooler can make his mind less chaotic.

"I just saw that the ground is a little frozen. Be careful when you go out and don't slip." Ji Lang said. After all, this is not the warm season. If you slip, there will be grass and trees to stop you. It has rained for so many days, and the dead grass and leaves on the ground have rotted and will break if you grab them.

He knew that these people had been out so many times, they would definitely pay attention to these things, but he just couldn't help but remind them.

Before Qingjiu could say anything, Xiaoying beside him raised her legs to show Ji Lang, "Don't worry, Brother Lang, look at the soles of my shoes. Sister Lan said she made the anti-slip ones you mentioned. I just tried them and they work!"

This was done last winter, but it was Lan’s first time then and she didn’t do it very well. This time, it was obvious that she was very skilled.

Qing Jiu helped Ji Lang shake off the snow on his shoulders and said, "You can go in. It's snowing heavily and it's cold outside."

They were just going to worship the mountain god and came back soon. Ji Lang was not worried and just agreed and went to the yard.

Qing Jiu and his companions packed up the things they wanted to offer to the mountain god, went to the next yard to call a few people there, and then went down the mountain.

After entering the inner yard, the dogs thought the snow was too heavy and were now lying in the doorway. There were a few straw mats on both sides of the doorway, which were specially made for them. Each dog was lying on one of them.

Ji Lang just realized that Qing Jiu and the others didn't bring the dog this time.

"What are you daydreaming about? The meat is cooked, come and eat it, it smells so delicious." Sa Shi called Ji Lang from the kitchen door.

She had a loud voice, and before Ji Lang could respond, the curtain of Uncle Lin's room to the east was suddenly lifted, and several little balls rushed over very quickly, shouting, "Meat!" "Eat meat!"

Good guy.

This speed is like a piglet that has been hungry for half a month.

"It's my life, go slowly, don't cry if you fall." Sa Shi hurriedly ran to pick up these little brats. Although his words were cold,

But he quickly walked up to him.

The meat was stewed till soft today, so there was no need to worry about them not being able to chew it. The little ones were given fist-sized pieces of meat each. Ji Lang helped Xiao Man tear the meat apart, dipped it in a little of the prepared sauce, and then asked Sa Shi, "Why didn't Qing Jiu and the others bring the dog?"

Sa Shi raised his eyebrows, "Believe it or not, bring the dogs with you. We just buried it today, and they will be able to bring it back tomorrow."

Jilang: ...

Sorry, he's stupid.

I don’t know if it was because the pork was really delicious today, or because the way the kids ate it was so appetizing, but Ji Lang couldn’t help but eat two more pieces. Not only was the meat delicious, but the sauce also made the meat not greasy at all. Ji Lang couldn’t help but want to find some vegetable leaves to wrap the meat and eat it.

When it was getting slightly dark, Qingjiu and the others came back, and Ji Lang went to open the door.

The others were hungry, so they went in to eat the meat. Qing Jiu was still standing by the door. Ji Lang approached him in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Qing Jiu raised his chin and motioned him to look outside, "Wait for them."

Ji Lang tilted his head and looked over. Two little pandas were holding on to the wall, staggering down.

It seems that he has gained some weight since the last time I saw him.

"Why did you bring them back?" Ji Lang asked in surprise. He thought the two little guys had checked the road last time and planned to come after the snow was thick this time, but he didn't expect them to come so early.

Qing Jiu shook the basket on his back and said, "On the way back, they stopped us and even took us to get them food."

Ji Lang took a look in the basket. Half of the bottom of the basket was filled with various nuts, dried fruits, and some unknown grass roots and stalks. It was quite abundant.

However, Ji Lang thought about how much these two guys eat. They might not be able to last for a few days with such a small amount.

No wonder you came so early.

We had planned to spend the winter here a long time ago.

Liefeng and the others smelled the scent and rushed out. After rubbing against Jilang, they immediately grabbed the two red pandas and started licking them.

"Okay, okay, let them go into the yard first." Ji Lang patted Liefeng, Ermao and Sanmao's butts and told them to go in quickly.

Qing Jiu is still hungry. Since these guys are crowding here and won't leave, he has to wait.

Ji Lang was driving the dog and the red panda in front, while Qing Jiu closed the door at the back, took two quick steps and caught up. The two of them walked into the yard side by side.

The little panda went into the doghouse very consciously. The one behind it had already gone in, but it poked its head out again, staring at Qing Jiu with its round eyes.

...the bamboo basket behind.

"Look at how stingy you are. Okay, okay, I'll just leave it there for you, okay?" Ji Lang took down the bamboo basket that Qingjiu was carrying and placed it next to the doghouse. The little guy felt relieved and shrank his head into it.

The meat was still hot in the pot, Xiaoying and Guo Qixishi were already sitting there eating it, "Come here, Brother Qing, this pork is so delicious." Xiaoying took a bite of the meat and shouted indistinctly.

Qing Jiu picked a piece of meat and started to eat it. He was really hungry after going out.

In the past, they mostly ate grilled meat. Even though they had been using pottery for a long time, stewing meat was a bit slow and troublesome, so they preferred to eat it while grilling it. But now they are used to it and feel that stewed meat tastes better.

"There's the sauce in the bowl over there, bring it over here." Ji Lang pointed at the table behind Qing Jiu and motioned him to bring it over. The sauce Ye prepared was so delicious that Ji Lang couldn't help but want everyone to try it.

"By the way, do you have to go out and patrol the territory tomorrow?" Ji Lang helped them fill the soup in the pot.

Qing Jiu nodded, then remembered that Ji Lang had his back to them and couldn't see them, so he said, "We have to go." When they were hunting outside a few days ago, he noticed traces of other large wild beasts, so they had to investigate thoroughly this time.

Xishi will not go this time. Qingjiu plans to take Guoqi, Xiaoying and a few people from the next yard. In the future, Guoqi can take them or they can go by themselves.

Exploring the way was left to a few dogs. Each of them was no smaller than Liefeng now, and they had to train to help the tribe, although in fact these guys usually did a lot of work.

Qing Jiu could see that Ji Lang and Xi Shi both preferred planting and breeding compared to going out hunting. These might slowly become the focus of the tribe, so they would definitely spend more time and energy on these things. They had to train new explorers, and before they were trained, they would just use the dogs to make up the numbers.

In fact, Qingjiu thinks Xiaoying is a good person, so he always calls Xiaoying intentionally or unintentionally when he goes out recently. Of course, this is one aspect. More importantly, Xiaoying and Feng always follow Ji Lang around as long as they are in the tribe. Although Feng is bigger, he is still younger. But at Xiaoying's age, in the previous Taoli tribe, he might have found a partner and had children. Qingjiu is a little unhappy about letting him follow Ji Lang every day.

So I could only keep him with me.

Ji Lang and Xiao Ying didn't understand his little tricks. Xiao Ying was very proud of it, thinking that Qing Jiu wanted to train him to be a mature hunter so that he could be independent earlier and lead the team out hunting. He was so happy when he went to bed at night.

The kang was a little warm, and there was a breeze outside. A "woooo" sound echoed in the valley, which made people feel a little creepy. Ji Lang shrank into the quilt. It was a small movement, but Qing Jiushi didn't know how he noticed it. He reached out and pulled him into his arms, and asked softly, "Can't sleep?"

Ji Lang hummed, and rubbed against Qing Jiu's arms. His forehead just touched his chin, and the stubble pricked him a little, "You should shave."

"Then help me shave when I come back." He tucked the quilt behind Ji Lang and patted him gently, "Go to sleep."

Since he was awake anyway, Ji Lang moved around for a while, found a comfortable position, and asked, "It's so windy, didn't you say last time that there were traces of other wild animals? Would they be covered up overnight?"

This kind of thing is not impossible. "Let's go and take a look first. The sooner we discover it, the sooner we can be prepared." Qing Jiu said.

After all, there are more people in the tribe now, so we have to be extra careful.

There was a strong snowstorm all night, and the snow was so strong that it covered the tops of shoes when one stepped on it. Ji Lang got up very early. He was used to getting up at this time. Although he couldn't exercise because of the snow, he was not idle either. He took a shovel and cleaned up the snow in the yard. Wu was originally playing with Xiaoman and the others, but when he saw Ji Lang working, he also took a broom and followed behind Ji Lang to sweep the snow that had not been shoveled clean.

Xiaoman and Chuan were too young, not even as tall as the broom, so we let them play.

The broom Wu used was made of grass, which was very durable. He made several when he came here to dig caves. At that time, he used it to sweep the soil. Later, he used it to sweep the leaves, sweep the water in the rainy season, and sweep the snow in the cold season. Anyway, it can sweep anything.

"If you two are cold, go to the kitchen." Ji Lang saw Xiaoman and Chuan playing in the snow in a place he had not had time to sweep. Their little faces were frozen red, and against the backdrop of their white rabbit fur hats, they looked like red apples.

He hadn't had time to light the stove in the house, so he had to ask the two of them to go to the kitchen to warm themselves by the fire.

As it turned out, the two little guys were having so much fun that they didn’t want to go at all, and simply shook their heads to refuse.

Well, they know something anyway, so they will just go in when it gets cold.

Qingjiu and the others left early, taking the dog with them. Now there were only two little pandas huddled in the den. Ji Lang swept the snow away from the doorway and saw the two little pandas poking their heads out. They first looked at the bamboo basket next to them and found that everything inside was there. They seemed to be relieved, then came up to Ji Lang, scratched his pants, and then circled around him.

Ji Lang didn't know how he realized it, but he just understood that these two guys were reluctant to eat his stored food and were begging for food from him.

Looking up at the sky and sighing, he really didn't want to understand.

They hadn't had time to dig winter bamboo shoots yet, but there were still some fresh bamboo shoots picked during the rainy season. Ji Lang went into the kitchen and took one for each of them.

They are not greedy. Once they get the food, they hold it in their mouths, go to the grass mat in the doorway, sit on it, and start chewing it using their hands, feet and mouths.

Several people were sitting at a small table eating. On the table was a plate of hot braised meat, a bowl of bamboo shoot soup, and a few cut salted duck eggs.

In fact, it is normal to eat braised meat in the morning, which is a bit heavy. But maybe it’s because of the cold or hunger, he looked at the bowl of hot braised pig’s trotters and found it very appetizing.

He picked up a piece and just put it in his mouth, there was a shout from outside the door, "Priest, are you awake? Something happened!!!"

Ji Lang quickly got up and rushed out in two or three steps, "What happened?"

The person who came was Aqiao. When he just got up, he saw a small bulge in the yard. He thought someone had forgotten a bamboo basket or something in the yard, so he went over to clean up the snow and put it away. However, after just two pats, he found something was wrong. It was a person!

He quickly called for people to dig it out. It was cold and there was nothing to do. Besides, the kang was warm. Except for the group of people who went out with the leader, most of the others had not gotten up. Even if they woke up, they were lying on the kang or lighting the stove in the cave. When they were called out, they were shocked to see that they were frozen to death.

They quickly carried it into the house, and Aqiao also took this opportunity to run over.

Ji Lang was also startled and almost choked on the bones in his mouth. He immediately followed him to the next yard. The frozen old uncle was now placed on a mat on the ground, and his clothes had been changed into dry ones.

Ji Lang got a basket of snow from outside and called on others to help him rub his limbs with the snow.

"Priest, he's frozen stiff. What...are you doing?" asked Grandma Xue next to him.

Ji Lang didn't know how to explain to them that this was good for blood circulation, so he could only say, "This is a special way. People who encounter frostbite in the future should treat it this way so that they won't be frozen to death."

Others: I don’t understand why, but whatever the priest says is what it is.

Fortunately, this old man was not frozen for too long and could be rescued. He probably slipped when he got up to go to the toilet and then fainted. It was cold and snowy in the yard, so he was frozen to death.

It would have been best to soak him in warm water for a while, but the conditions were not met here, so we could only wait for him to gradually regain consciousness and then put him on the kang.

The old uncle was also a hunter of the Big Tree Tribe when he was young. Although his physical fitness was not as good as Qing Jiu and others when he was young, he was a veteran and his physical foundation was still there. If Ji Lang was frozen like this when he was old, he would probably die on the spot.

"Be careful at night. When you go out, take the flashlight I gave you. It would be best if you can call for companions. And I have taught you how to dig your own bucket before. Put one at the door so you don't have to run so far to go to the toilet at night." Ji Lang said to these people.

He had said this several times during the rainy season. He had discovered that these people had to learn from their mistakes. No matter what they said, they just thought there was nothing wrong with them. After this incident, Ji Lang believed that there would be a bucket in front of every cave tonight.
