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

Chapter 154: See you again in the cold season 9

Qing Jiu carried Ji Lang on his back and walked steadily. Ji Lang even wondered if this guy had barbs on the soles of his feet. How could he hold the ground so steadily? Even with him on his back, his speed did not slow down at all.

It was just cold, a feeling of cold that no clothes could resist. Ji Lang was clearly wearing thick rabbit fur gloves, but now he felt stiff and couldn't hold on to the clothes on Qing Jiu's chest.

"If you're cold, put your hands inside my clothes." Qing Jiu spoke in a muffled voice. It wasn't that he didn't want to open his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the wind would blow in. Everyone was silent because of this.

Ji Lang shook his head, realizing that Qing Jiu couldn't see him, and buried his head in the furry collar, "No need."

After coming down the mountain, Jilang wanted to walk down. It was really cold without moving, so it would be better to walk by himself to warm up his body.

He walked slowly, so Qingjiu switched positions with Azhou, with Azhou leading the way in front and Qingjiu following at the back. He didn't know if it was because of the previous exercise or if Jilang's body had gradually adapted to the place, but he found that he was not walking as hard as before. At least he could keep up with the team. Several dogs were running and jumping in the snow. For some reason they didn't get stuck. There were some broken branches under the trees, lying crookedly on the ground, and were gradually buried by the snow. Occasionally, chunks of snow would fall from some trees, and Liefeng and the others would be hit by them from time to time. They thought it was fun, and played around the trees on purpose. Their already dark fur was extremely black in the snow.

Ji Lang stretched out his rabbit fur gloves and compared them to the snow. The originally spotless white gloves now looked gray.

He looked at Xishi and Sashi in front of him who were wearing white fur coats. They were both gray and thickly dressed. From behind, they looked like this dirty monster. Ji Lang was amused by his own metaphor and couldn't help laughing twice.

Qing Jiu, who was walking less than two meters behind him:?

What's going on? Are you frozen silly?

The route Zhou took was a little longer, but the road was very smooth and there were no corners that could "harm people".

Maybe because of the different varieties, some bamboos have already withered, with burnt yellow leaves sparsely covered with snow, but some are still lush dark green bamboo leaves, which appear even greener and more full of vitality in the white all over the mountains. There is sunshine today, and the faint sunlight shines on the snow-capped earth, as if it is coated with a layer of yellowish halo, sparkling but not dazzling. Such a scene is very shocking to Ji Lang.

The cute little panda that was squatting in the bamboo basket has jumped down and is swimming smoothly in the snow. Fortunately, it is freestyle and not breaststroke.

Two deep trenches quickly appeared in the snow. This was the first time Jilang saw red pandas in the snow, and he didn't expect it to be so funny.

The two red pandas, unaware that they were being secretly laughed at, were seriously searching for bamboo shoots in the snow. They were very efficient and stopped in less than two minutes. They dug a hole in the snow with their little paws, as if their paws were frozen so they dug a few times and then lifted them up to shake them. They looked silly to begin with, and now they looked even more silly and adorable.

Ah Zhou immediately went over, shoveled away the snow in a few strokes, and broke off a bamboo shoot as thick as a child's arm. While he was working, the two little pandas had already "swimmed" forward, found a new target, and stopped to dig.

Ji Lang: Stunned.

This really looks like a skilled gang crime.

Although there was a lot of snow, it was not hard and was easy to dig. Ji Lang also dug some snow from behind. It was quite rewarding to dig and break the snow. After working for a while, he felt warm and had more energy. Qing Jiu reminded him quietly from behind, "Work for a while and then take a break, or you will be sore tomorrow."

Ji Lang agreed and slowed down the movement of swinging the shovel.

Hearing some noise from behind, he stood up and looked over. It was Dashu with five or six people, all carrying bamboo baskets. Xiaobei and Xiaohei were following at the back. They looked reluctant at first, but when they saw the people who were already busy in the bamboo forest, they were slightly stunned.

Xiao Bei's face immediately turned into a somewhat servile smile. He was already used to walking on this kind of snowy ground. He quickened his pace and came over immediately. "Priest, you guys are here to dig bamboo shoots in person?"

Ji Lang raised an eyebrow and said this.

Dashu also came up and immediately slapped Xiaobei on the back of the head, "What nonsense are you talking about? Priests also have to eat, drink and work. You think you are the same as me, thinking about how to be lazy every day. Hurry up and dig bamboo shoots. If you can't dig enough bamboo shoots today, you can sleep in the bamboo forest tonight and don't go back."

Xiao Bei hesitated and wanted to speak, but Da Shu raised his hand and said, "Why don't you go now?!" He turned around and glanced at Xiao Hei who was still shrinking in the back, "And you!"

They didn't have red pandas, so they could only dig bamboo shoots blindly. But they also thought of a way. Each of them took a wooden stick and poked it into the snow again and again. After all, they had dug in the cold season in the tribe before, so they used their experience and could feel where the bamboo shoots were by poking them.

Dashu and Xiaoyang cooperated with each other. Xiaoyang poked in the front and called Dashu to dig when he poked something. In fact, the cooperation with Qingjiu and the little panda was the same.

Only Xiao Bei and Xiao Hei were hesitating. At the beginning, they quarreled about who should go in the front. After all, digging this stuff is hard. When snow sticks to the fur, it will melt where it touches the skin. It is cold and wet and very uncomfortable. It is easier to find bamboo shoots in the front. Later, I don't know what Xiao Hei said, but Xiao Bei resigned himself to digging bamboo shoots in the back.

As he was digging, he started cursing again, "Can you stop fooling around and find the spot more carefully, you bastard? I've been digging for such a long time and there's nothing underneath." He was using a hoe with a small head, and others could dig out four or five times more snow than he did with one shovel, so he was digging slowly.

Ji Lang couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he walked over and gave him his shovel, "Here, use this."

"Thank you, priest. Can you dig it out with your small hoe?" Xiao Bei hesitated, but still took the shovel handed over by Ji Lang. Although they could find bamboo shoots by their own method, their accuracy was indeed not as good as that of the red panda. They often dug out the bamboo shoots. With this shovel, they could indeed do it faster.

Ji Lang shrugged, "It doesn't matter. I don't have to sleep in the bamboo forest if I don't dig enough for a basket."

Xiaobei:……

It was their own fault that their tools were so "backward". After Ji Lang made a lot of iron tools, he gave the not-so-perfect tools he made before to the people in the next yard, which is what Xiaobei is using now. Later, he thought that having a better tool would be more efficient, so he asked them to bring their tools in exchange. Most of them came, except Xiaobei, Xiaohei and a few others who did not go to exchange.

"Remember to return it to me after use. This is not given for free." Ji Lang said.

Xiao Bei nodded quickly. Actually, he had wanted to exchange it for another one before, but Xiao Hei said that he would not use it very often. He usually carried a long knife with him when he went out to gather and hunt, and he would not need this kind of work tool. It would be better to exchange it for some food to fill his stomach.

He continued to be busy digging bamboo shoots. Ji Lang also squatted on the side. It seemed that he was digging bamboo shoots, but in fact he was secretly observing Xiao Bei and Xiao Hei. Actually, Xiao Bei's work speed was pretty good. Everyone around him was working, so he also followed busying around. But Xiao Hei was not so good. It was obviously what he was doing that was relatively easy.

He took a wooden stick in his hand and poked it a few times, then rested a few times. He explored some places, but when he was not sure if there was anything, he drew a circle for Xiaobei. Xiaobei dug several times but found nothing.

Ji Lang approached the tree secretly and said, "If you do this, find a reason to separate Xiao Bei and Xiao Hei. Don't let them live in the same cave. Also, separate them when you do work."

"Why?" The big tree looked at Xiaobei, who was digging under the bamboo and the snow was flying everywhere, and asked curiously.

Most people are like those who are associated with good people. Xiao Bei is even worse. Ji Lang sees that he is quite diligent when working, but he is too easily influenced by others and has no opinions of his own, so he is easily led by Xiao Hei.

It's obvious that two people are doing the work, and if the distribution is uneven, wouldn't it be better for them to just dig it themselves? But Xiaobei didn't do that. He was used to following other people's arrangements. He was lazy and had no opinion, but there was still hope.

"When you guys are working, take Xiao Bei with you. I think this kid is lazy, but not bad. Xiao Hei..." Ji Lang lowered his voice. For some reason, he still felt guilty for saying something bad and was afraid of being caught. "I think he has a lot of thoughts, so we have to be careful."

Da Shu nodded, "Priest, you are really wise."

"By the way, you should find a reason to let them dig their own way later. Why don't you protect the people you brought with you?" Ji Lang said.

"Don't I protect him? If I don't protect him, how can he dig so many bamboo shoots!" The big tree was quite proud. "But why let me go? Priest, why don't you just say no?"

Ji Lang: "Me? I don't want to be a bad guy. But since you are already a bad guy, you should be a bad guy till the end."

Dashu:......

Why is this priest like this? I used to think that he was a nice and capable person, but now I suddenly feel like I've been cheated.

His eyes were a little round, and now they were wide open, which looked very different from his usual naughty look. Ji Lang couldn't help laughing. He always felt that Dashu was a very unreliable person, with a smooth tongue and a way of changing with the wind. He was not a good person in the traditional sense. When he got along with him, he would occasionally feel a little impatient because of his evasive and indirect way of expression. But after getting along with him for a long time, he found that this person was actually very reliable. He did a good job in the tasks assigned to him, and he managed his subordinates almost the same. He was also diligent and did not cut corners. He did not act pretentiously when encountering problems and could save face.

A reliable partner.

It was almost noon when Qingjiu and his friends had several bamboo baskets full and had to return.

Dashu and his men cleared a space under the bamboo forest, lit some leaves and dry grass, took out the cakes and steamed buns they had brought with them, and planned to heat them up for lunch.

The leaves and dead grass were all wet, so they didn't burn very efficiently, but the smoke was extremely thick.

The two little pandas were so tired that they lay motionless on the bamboo basket. Otherwise, Ji Lang thought that he could leave them here to help Dashu and the others find bamboo shoots.

Even small animals should not be exploited too much.

On the way back, I walked slowly because I was carrying things. The sun was already overhead and the weather was bright. It seemed very warm, but in fact, the air was no colder than when the sun was just rising.

"What are you thinking about?" Qing Jiu took the tools from Ji Lang's hand and tied them to one side of the bamboo basket.

Ji Lang, "I'm thinking, should we raise a group of red pandas like we did with Liefeng and the others? During the warm season, we can let them find food in the mountains by themselves, and during the cold season, they can come back to work for us, hahahaha." He felt like a cold-blooded capitalist.

Before Qing Jiu could say anything, Sa Shi on the side laughed, "Pfft, then you tell me where to catch them, and we'll go catch more of them."

Ji Lang really didn't know this.

Well, it seems that “Capitalist” died in the womb before it even had a chance to go online.

"Let's go back quickly. I'm hungry." Sa Shi yelled, and bent over to carry a full basket of bamboo shoots on her back. She was very strong, and Ji Langti couldn't even lift the basket, but she carried it easily without any pressure at all.

Ji Lang is really infuriating to watch. Comparing yourself with others is really frustrating.

When going up the mountain, Ji Lang did not let Qingjiu carry him. He had been walking in the snow for a whole morning and had mastered some tricks. Besides, if Qingjiu carried him, he would have to go down the mountain again to carry bamboo shoots when he returned, which was too troublesome. It would be better for him to walk by himself. It would be a little slower, but with several dogs following him, he was not afraid of encountering any danger.

The people in front were nowhere to be seen, so Qing Jiu walked very slowly on purpose and waited for Ji Lang more than ten meters ahead.

When they reached the door, Qing Jiu had just gone in when Damao suddenly came in from the door, came up to Ji Lang with a wronged look on his face, and kept rubbing his head against Ji Lang.

"What's wrong with it?" Ji Lang returned to the yard and asked Xiaoying who was cleaning the outer yard outside.

Xiaoying glanced at the big fur that seemed to be sticking to Jilang's legs with a look of disgust, "I don't know, it came here not long after you left." She came in and took a walk around the yard, only to see a few pups playing. Then, as if sulking, it hung its tail and lowered its head, and went into the doghouse, not coming out for the whole morning. When someone passed by it, they could hear it sighing.

Ji Lang squatted down and touched its head soothingly. After checking it, he found that it was not injured or anything, but its fur was a little tangled. Ji Lang took a small rake he made and combed it.

He played with other dogs and red pandas for a while, and soon started wagging his tail and grinning again.

Just like a child, emotions come and go quickly.

Everyone thought it was bored and came to play with its friends.

But not long after they had finished their meal, a few dogs were happily licking the broth in the bowl when Grandma Xue suddenly came.
