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

Chapter 125 Python 2

"No, no, no, let's wait until Qingjiu and the others come back." Ji Lang quickly stopped her.

Not only him, but the three hunters also echoed, "Yes, let's wait until the leader comes back."

As he was muttering to himself, he heard a noise coming from outside the door at the foot of the mountain. It couldn't be that fast, so Ji Lang went to open the door. It was Xiaoying who had gone to the field and came back with Xishi and Grandma Xue.

Grandma Xue came for snake gall. Although the gall of python is not as effective as that of small snakes, it also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. She was worried that these people would not handle it properly and waste the good snake gall.

Xishi took out a long knife from the doorway, sharpened it twice under a big tree, and walked inside.

Ji Lang: ? "You're going there by yourself?"

"What's so scary about a long worm?" Xi Shiyi looked surprised, and Sa Shi followed him in.

In less than two minutes, he dragged Sa Shi out again, his forehead sweating, and looked at Xiao Ying with a condemning look, "Why didn't you tell me about the python?"

Xiaoying scratched her head, "Ah? Didn't I tell you? I told Grandma Xue."

At that time, Grandma Xue was picking peppers in the field, and Xishi was in a pumpkin field quite far away, so how could he hear anything?

"Tsk! I thought you became powerful, but I didn't expect you to still be so cowardly." Sa Shi's tone was full of disgust.

Xi Shi was a little dissatisfied, "It's not like everyone in your family is just like a bunch of strong monsters."

That’s right, Ji Lang also muttered silently in his heart.

Several people were waiting under the big tree outside the door. The python still didn't move at all. Not long after, Xi Shi stood up and looked down the mountain. "They are back."

Sure enough, within a few minutes, a group of people stood in the yard.

Qing Jiu came close to Ji Lang, pinched and touched him to check, then he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what had happened. The two dogs ran towards them and barked, then led them back. He thought there was some danger, but now he saw that Ji Lang was fine, he felt relieved.

Ji Lang felt a little embarrassed as he saw so many people taking advantage of him.

He clapped his hands hard several times before finally shaking off the hands that were grabbing his waist, and then he told everyone about the giant python in the yard.

Then a group of people rushed in. Ji Lang wanted to follow and watch but didn't want to cause more trouble. Qing Jiu seemed to have noticed his thoughts and took his lead and walked behind him. "Stand further away from them. If there is any danger, hide in the house immediately." Qing Jiu reminded him.

Ji Lang nodded and took two quick steps to catch up.

He came in a little slowly. By now the python had woken up. Although there were many people surrounding it, it did not look afraid at all. Its huge and scary head stood up, its body arched, its tongue sticking out and its fangs bared, as if it was ready to attack at any time. Its golden pupils, which were bigger than an adult's fist, stared at the people in front of it, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

Now it realized that the space in the small doorway was too small, which was not convenient for it, so it shook its body and tried to attack out little by little.

Guo Qi, who was standing in front, also understood its intention and shouted, "Surround it, don't let it out. It will be difficult to attack if it comes out."

Several people were swinging long swords vigorously. The sword light was so dazzling that Ji Lang, who was standing far away, squinted his eyes. But the big python didn't seem to be afraid of the light. Its eyes didn't move and it continued to shake its neck.

This just happened to expose the vulnerable area of ​​its abdomen, and a hunter took advantage of the chaos and stabbed it in the abdomen. The sharp knife went straight in. The python felt the pain and struggled violently. Its strength was amazing, and the hunter who stabbed it didn't have time to pull out the knife before he was knocked out by the powerful swinging of the snake's body. The people standing behind him quickly supported him.

Because of this, the python found a breakthrough point and didn't care about the pain in its body. It crawled over here eagerly. Others also knew its intention and took action immediately. Some stabbed it in the abdomen and some in the back. Anyway, there were so many hunters and they all had sharp weapons in their hands, so they could not be helpless against the python.

There were so many wounds, and the smell of blood was extremely strong. There were also pools of blood on the ground, which made Ji Lang feel a little sick.

But the python showed no signs of stopping, and continued to shake its head and attack the people nearby. Some people were knocked out, while others hid from the python's head, which occasionally tried to bite the crowd.

The stalemate lasted for half an hour, and the python finally couldn't hold on anymore and slowly fell down.

After it was completely dead, Grandma Xue came in to take the snake gall. The snake skin of this python is also a good thing, it is thick, solid and strong, and can be used to make many things, and it can be peeled off and kept.

Although python meat is not tasty and contains many parasites, it is a rare big prey for these people. If it is not tasty, they can pickle it into bacon and keep it as reserve food during the cold season.

The yard was dirty and the bloodstains on the ground were difficult to clean, so I could only put a layer of wood ash on the ground to absorb it and then come back to clean it up.

Li also came back from the next yard with a few of his cubs. At that time, a group of people were dealing with the giant python, which was really huge.

"But we have to drive the snake away. This big snake came here inexplicably. What if there are others? I heard that snakes live in nests." Li said to Ji Lang a little worriedly.

"Yes, yes, we need to drive them away. Let's dig up some snake-repellent flowers and plants and plant them around the yard to prevent any snakes from slipping in and scaring people." Ji Lang also felt that they needed to be driven away. There were many cave dwellings and many children in their yard. It would be terrible if a snake ran in and hid there and then bit someone.

Li and his friends grew up in the deep mountains and forests, and have basically been dealing with snakes and insects since childhood. The tribe has also passed down a method of driving away snakes, which is to mix several different kinds of grasses together. After burning them, Ji Lang thinks the smell is quite pleasant.

Li distributed the ashes of the grass he burned to everyone, asking them to spread some around the yard first, and then spread some in the cave, to prevent those creatures from getting into the house and scaring people.

It was already dark when we finished all this. The family had been busy all day and hadn't even had time to eat.

After eating in a hurry, Ji Lang sat in the house weaving wormwood. After all, it was deep in the mountains and mosquitoes were inevitable. It would be better to light wormwood before going to bed at night. Xiaoman and Ji Lang's skin turned red when they were bitten, and it looked very serious.

Ji Lang was busy with his hands, and Xiao Man came over and stared at Ji Lang's hands like a puppy, "Father, your hands are so big, bigger than my head."

"Really? Let's compare then." Ji Lang said, spreading out his hands and letting Xiaoman compare herself.

Xiaoman was actually talking nonsense. He couldn't see how big his head was, so he had to put his head closer and put it in Jilang's palm. Then he looked at Jilang eagerly, "Father."

Although he didn't say anything, his intention was to let Ji Lang see whether his head was bigger or his hands were bigger. However, his look reminded Ji Lang of a video that was very popular on the Internet before, where the owner spread out the palm of his hand and the little pet would put its head on it, with the eager look on its face, exactly the same as Xiaoman's now.

Qing Jiu came in just at this moment, and was a little curious about what this meant. Ji Lang saw that it was him, and for some reason, he pulled his hand back, and then turned his palm towards Qing Jiu as if he was asking for something.

Qing Jiu thought of Gang Xiaoman's actions, squatted down, and put his head in Ji Lang's palm.

Hehe, Ji Lang was satisfied, and his other hand couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of Qing Jiu's head. His hair was a little hard and a little prickly, but Ji Lang felt it felt surprisingly good.

Qing Jiu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Seeing Ji Lang laughing so hard that his teeth were showing, he felt happy too.

Glancing at Xiaoman who was looking at him curiously, Qingjiu said, "Go to the kang, it's time to go to bed."

Xiaoman listened to this naturally and turned around to climb onto the kang.

Qing Jiu took advantage of this time to move closer to Ji Lang's mouth and gave him a gentle kiss.

"What are you doing?" Ji Lang quickly looked at Xiaoman and touched the corner of his mouth awkwardly. Xiaoman was climbing up the ladder to the kang with her little butt sticking out, and she didn't notice anything happening here.

Ji Lang breathed a sigh of relief, got up and washed up. He had to go to see Lin tomorrow, so he had to go to bed early today.

The noodle fruit is ripe, but it is very strong and can only be blown down by strong winds during the windy season. If you want to pick it now, you have to use a knife to cut it down.

Qing Jiu and Sa Shi had already climbed to the top of the tree. Sa Shi was yelling, "Move away. If you hit your head, you'll die."

The group of people under the tree quickly moved back in unison.

One by one, the big wheat fruits fell to the ground, raising dust, but everyone was happy. After all, this was their food. In fact, due to the previous drought, the wheat fruits this time were not as many as in the previous cycle, and they were smaller in size, but the overall yield was still good.

When Ah Hua and the others left last winter, Ji Lang also told them that if they were really short of food, they could go to the flour fruit forest to look for it. Although this thing would go bad if soaked in water, it was indeed strong and there must be some that had not been blown down by the wind. If they looked for it then, they might be able to find some to use as an emergency measure. I don't know if they went there later.

Many people came today, including several experts at climbing trees, and soon the ground was covered with doughnuts.

Ji Lang was very happy picking up the fruits. They were heavy when green, and there was a sound of water when he shook them. He was very happy when picking them up, but it was really painful when he transported them back. The ground was full of weeds, and it took one person to pull and two people to push the cart. It seemed that the road still needed to be repaired. Not to say just repairing, but at least the places they often walked on needed to be cleaned up. After all, the typhoon season was coming soon, and they might have to transport the fruits back every day.

Last windy season, the people mainly relied on Qingjiu and Guoqi, two strong people, to carry the things back. But now there are more people in the tribe and more people working, so repairing the road will make things more convenient for everyone.

Ji Lang asked Dashu for this matter. They had not gone out hunting much recently, but they had exchanged a lot of meat with the hunting team and pickled it. They got a lot of salt, so when the windy season starts and they go hunting in large quantities, they will have no problem finding someone to exchange with them.

Da Shu rubbed his hands and smiled a bit flatteringly, "Priest, let me first say that there is definitely no problem for us to work, but I have a small request. Of course, I will go to work even if you don't agree..."

Ji Lang didn't know this guy yet, so he must want some benefits. "If you have anything to say, please say it now."

"Hey, what do you mean by "if you have to fart, fart quickly", Priest, I'm talking about serious matters." The big tree argued.

Ji Lang glanced at him and said, "Are you still going to tell me?"

"Let's talk about it. The first thing is whether we can get some more of the fine salt that was distributed to us before. We are used to eating coarse salt now and it tastes bitter and not tasty." said Dashu.

This is understandable. Ji Lang nodded and said, "Sure, just bring something in exchange. What do you mean by the first thing? How many more do you have?"

Da Shu scratched his head. "I...A Yue and I are going to become partners. Priest, can you and the chief be witnesses for us?"

Ji Lang: ??? You kid, how come you want a partner just a few days after coming back? Why didn’t you make any noise before?

Maybe the shock in Ji Lang's eyes was too obvious, Dashu said it a little embarrassedly. When he was in Dashu's tribe, A Yue was the most beautiful woman in the tribe. Dashu wanted to compete with her at that time, but later one of Dashu's brothers said that he liked A Yue.

Dashu thought about it and realized that as a chief, he could not compete with the people of his own tribe, so he quietly withdrew. Later, the tribe was attacked, and A Yue's partner stayed behind to protect her and their daughter Xingxing. Along the way, Dashu took better care of them because of his status. After all, a woman without a partner and with no hunting ability, with a cub, would find it difficult to survive in the wild.

After settling down here, A Yue even took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to be her partner, but Da Shu refused. He felt that his brother had just been there not long ago and he felt a little sorry for him. But after being away, he really missed A Yue along the way. Plus, after coming back, he found out that there were other hunters who kept showing good will to A Yue. Although she refused, Da Shu felt a sense of crisis and went to find A Yue immediately. After they talked it out, they decided to become partners. The custom of their Da Shu tribe is that two people who become partners will cook soup for everyone to drink, and after everyone witnesses them exchanging tokens.

Ji Lang thought for a moment and said, "Sure. I've been planning to hold a bonfire party so we can celebrate together. After all, there are more and more people in the tribe, so it's a good opportunity for you to witness it."

The big tree's eyes widened. Although he didn't know what a bonfire party was, it sounded very exciting.

Except for hunting, they did a good job in other things. In less than three days, a path leading to the flour fruit forest was built.

Ji Lang also agreed with Qing Jiu and the others not to share the prey they had hunted that day. He then killed a sheep and dealt with some rabbits that were frightened and didn't eat well.
