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

Chapter 126 Bonfire Party

When it was time for dinner, people from the next yard came in waves. Ji Lang distributed the cleaned bicycle spokes to them and asked them to skewer them around the fire. What they had brought back was a big wild boar. Now there was pork, mutton, bacon that had been pickled before, and various wild vegetables. Ji Lang taught them how to skewer the meat and vegetables together, and when they were almost done, sprinkle some of Ye's special chili powder on them. The aroma came out immediately.

Soon, the whole outer yard was filled with the smell of barbecue, with a burnt aroma. Everyone began to swallow their saliva, and a few dogs were running around unruly.

At the beginning, all these people were still a little restrained and reserved. But slowly, after eating delicious food and drinking sweet water soaked in jam, everyone became happy. Some people even gathered around the fire and sang songs with strange intonations that others couldn't understand, and many people followed suit.

In such an atmosphere, Dashu took out the prepared fox skin from behind and handed it to A Yue, "Here you go." This was the fur of the red fox that Guo Qi and the others helped him hunt when he went out with the hunting team. After tanning, the color was not so bright, but it still looked good. The tanning technology was very good and did not damage the integrity of the fur. Moreover, the fur was still very soft. A Yue took it and touched it lovingly.

"I like it very much. This is my keepsake." As she said this, she took out a jar from behind her and took out a pair of goggles from it.

This was what she exchanged with Ji Lang for a set of ceramic cups that she had fired several times before finally succeeding.

Once when it was raining, Qingjiu and the others wore this thing when they went out. Dashu showed an envious expression at that time, and she saw it, so she plucked up the courage to find the leader and asked if she could exchange it with the priest. She spent several days thinking about it because she always felt that the priest had everything and lacked nothing. She didn't know what to exchange. After all, this goggles seemed very valuable. Fortunately, the priest liked the set of ceramic cups very much.

"Where did you get it? Did you exchange it with the priest?" Dashu took it and was very happy. He thought that this pottery jar was A Yue's token of love, and he also thought that it could be used to store the fox skin he gave to A Yue. Unexpectedly, it was actually a pair of goggles.

He had always thought this thing was very precious, so he didn't have the nerve to exchange it with the priest.

A Yue nodded and rarely showed a faint smile.

Watching their interaction, Xiaoshu, who was not far away, also smiled. She had originally exchanged the goggles with Jilang for her brother, but now she just kept them for herself, hehe.

Dashu turned his head and saw Jilang feeding Xiaoman with skewers of meat. He took two or three steps over and said, "Priest, Ayue and I have exchanged tokens."

Ji Lang, "Why are you in such a hurry? I said everyone has almost finished eating, so I'll tell everyone about this, and then you can change."

"Hehe, I'm anxious." Dashu smiled foolishly, and there was a rare seriousness and sincerity in his eyes.

Ji Lang stood up and shouted, "Quiet down, let me tell you something. This is why we are holding this bonfire party." He waited for the people who were shouting around to slowly quiet down.

Ji Langcai pointed at Dashu and Ayue who were already sitting together and said, "Dashu and Ayue have become a couple today. Let's congratulate them together! If you have a partner in the future, you can also look for us to celebrate together and witness it together."

"Great!!!" everyone cheered enthusiastically.

Of course, the few people sitting in the crowd who had been nice to A Yue were all gritting their teeth and feeling very unconvinced.

But A Yue had already made her choice, and they couldn't say anything more.

Xiaoman didn't understand what the adults were saying or doing. He was not bothered by the people around him. He was chewing on a roasted corn cob in his hand. He had just picked it up from the field. The corn kernels were very tender and even a child could eat it after it was roasted.

Ji Lang pulled the small cushion under his little butt and moved him back, "Don't get too close, what if sparks pop out and burn you?"

The little guy nodded, stretched out his hand and struggled to break off a few corn kernels for Ji Lang, "Father, eat it, it's delicious."

"Thank you, my little baby." Ji Lang took it and threw it into his mouth to chew. It was a gift from his son, and it smelled really good.

Xiaoman continued to pick corn kernels. Several dogs that came over were scratching the ground anxiously. His little hands were weak and it took him a long time to pick a few kernels. He threw them one by one in front of the dogs. The dogs rolled their tongues and the corn kernels went into their big mouths. He didn't know what the corn kernels mixed with soil tasted like. Ji Lang looked at the dogs with some disgust.

Perhaps noticing that Ji Lang's eyes were fixed on the corn kernels, Xiaoman took out a few with great effort and handed them to him. Ji Lang took them and put them in his mouth before he realized belatedly that he was feeding him like a dog.

He was reluctant to fight, and was about to tickle Xiaoman's itch when he was gently touched by a strong elbow next to him. Ji Lang turned around and saw the skewers of meat handed over by Qingjiu. He reached out and whispered, "Thank you, my big baby, too."

Qing Jiu smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and rarely showed a bit of frivolity, "Where is it big?"

Ji Lang, "Of course..." He glanced at Qing Jiu with an ambiguous look and said softly, "Everywhere is big."

His face immediately turned red, and Qing Jiu, who was a little angry, wanted to press this man down and touch him.

Ji Lang smiled somewhat smugly. Tsk, you're still flirting with him, who doesn't know how to do that? When he was flirting with him, this guy was still a virgin.

Just when he was feeling proud of himself, he suddenly felt a strong big hand pinching his buttocks before Ji Lang could react. The hand was pinched lightly with lightning speed and then quickly pulled back.

Jilang:……

I looked at Qingjiu speechlessly. Don’t think that if you stop quickly enough, I won’t know it’s you.

While these two people were doing some tricks here, several girls nearby started singing along. The originally strange singing became particularly beautiful under the melodious and clear voices of the girls. The singing was like a genetic awakening. A group of people began to jump around the fire, led by Dashu, who was waving his hands like a frog, with his legs stretched out, jumping up and down. The others also jumped along, and the people sitting there also enjoyed themselves.

The party was lively and exciting until late at night.

They even felt a little reluctant to leave. Several girls supported Grandma Xue and walked in front, followed by some hunters. Big Hair followed the cubs. It had gotten a lot of meat today and finally got a thigh bone. Now it was happily holding it in its mouth, intending to put it in its own nest and lick it when it was hungry.

The pigeon glanced at Xiaoyuan and Xiaofang who were supporting Damao with a smile in the back and said, "The chief and the priest are so nice. I have never seen such a fun activity before."

Grandma Xue also laughed and said, "I haven't seen it either. It's really funny." She turned to Ah Yue who was holding a jar and followed beside her and said, "Congratulations, Ah Yue, you have a partner and someone to rely on. Although Da Shu is sometimes funny and frivolous, he is still a reliable person."

Ah Yue smiled and said nothing. However, Xiao Shu came up to her and said jokingly, "You have laughed several times today. You look so happy. It seems that we will have a new cub soon."

They seem to have a deep-rooted joy about the continuation of their bloodline. It’s hard to explain, but they are just happy.

The group returned to the yard with smiles on their faces.

A good night's sleep.

The morning air was still slightly humid, and Ji Lang took advantage of the coolness to run in the yard for more than half an hour.

The second wave of peppers planted have turned much redder. Today I’m going to pick them and hang them outside to dry so that I can eat them during the cold season.

Lan and Li had prepared dinner early and were now taking apart a worn-out sweater. Even though Ji Lang had produced a lot of these things, they were unwilling to waste any of them, so they took apart the worn-out ones. The thread ends could be used to tie peppers, or they could be washed and used to knit new clothes.

The two watched as Ji Lang finished his exercise, went to the kitchen and got out a big bun. He took two bites and then stared at them in a daze.

"What's wrong? Our Lord Priest, are the buns not delicious?" Lan said with a smile.

Ji Lang came back to his senses, "Sister Lan, please stop making fun of me. The buns are delicious. I just thought of something. Have you ever seen cotton?" He simply described what cotton looked like.

Both of them shook their heads. They, especially Li, had been collectors for many years and must have paid more attention to the plants in the wild than others. Even Li shook his head, guessing that there was really nothing growing on this land.

Based on Jilang's shallow knowledge of liberal arts, he remembered that cotton grows in places with sufficient sunlight and less rainfall, and in the north. But it takes more than a month to walk from here to the seaside, so this place is probably in the south, and it doesn't think cotton is produced in abundance.

"What's the use of that cotton?" Lan asked.

Ji Lang, "Cotton is very warm and can be used to make clothes and quilts."

Li shook the sweater in his hand, "Is this also made of cotton? Why are we looking for cotton? We have enough clothes."

Ji Lang looked at the sweater she was holding. He was not sure if it had cotton. "We have enough clothes, but the tribe needs to develop. If there is cotton, everyone can make lighter clothes to wear in the future."

The smell of the fur in the warm season is really unbearable for ordinary people. Last night, those people were dancing to the back. If Ji Lang didn't think it was a waste to spit out the meat, he really couldn't bear it.

If there is no cotton, you can look for ramie. Although the leaves of ramie are prickly, they can be eaten in hot pot and are delicious. The fiber on the bark is also of good quality and very strong, and can also be used to make clothes.

Ramie Jiro knew what it looked like, but he had never seen it after going out so many times.

It may also be that you were in a hurry to go out and didn't pay much attention. You can look for it later.

"I also feel that I like wearing this kind of clothes now. It will be very uncomfortable to change back into those furs. They are heavy and stuffy." Li said. In the past, she took a few girls to make pottery together. Sometimes when they went into the pottery kiln with a high temperature, they would sweat all over. After coming out, the girls felt that they smelled and were very embarrassed. After seeing this twice, Li gave her clothes to them and asked them to wear them to work.

If there was something that could make lighter clothes, everyone could be cooler and more relaxed in the future.

The clothes worn by the little ones who came later were also newly modified. After all, they were children, so not much cloth was used and it was not difficult to make them. Besides, there were not many children. But the hunters did not have such treatment and could only make do with furs for the time being.

As they were talking, Grandma Xue came in, carrying a backpack, with Yang, who was walking unsteadily, beside her.

"Why are you here?" Lan, who was sitting closest to the doorway, asked, and quickly put down the work in his hands and stood up to welcome them in.

Grandma Xue put down the backpack and took down the furs hanging on A Yang. "A Yang wants to exchange the cool clothes you are wearing with you."

Ah Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "When I was at the foot of the snow mountain before, it wasn't this hot in the winter. But it's so hot here now. I can't stand wearing furs, and I can't sleep well at night." Those were all cave dwellings of hunters. They didn't even wear anything to sleep at night. Some of them got up early and ran out naked, and were scolded several times by Grandma Snow.

The backpack contains dried fruits that have been dried for several days. Although they cannot be eaten as meals, the children all like to use them as snacks.

He felt it was a little less, but it was the best he could get.

"Sure." Ji Lang said. A Yang was a little smaller than Ji Lang, so he could give him a set of his own clothes, and they would fit him when he grew taller.

After a while, Ji Lang came out of the house with a set of clothes. A Yang took it and carefully put it in the backpack. The dried fruits that were originally in the backpack had been taken out and placed on the bamboo mat next to it.

Ji Lang picked up a few furs that he had placed aside and handed them over, "These dried fruits are enough. You can take the furs back and keep them."

"No, no..." Ah Yang waved his hands quickly, "I can't exchange a little dried fruit for such a precious thing."

"What are you talking about? You have more than a dozen kinds of dried fruits. They are dried so well and so sweet." Ji Lang took out a small bag and ate one. The dried fruits were a little hard to chew, but very sweet.

"You should keep the furs. Even though the weather is very hot now, it will be cold soon after the windy season. These furs will be of great use then." Li said from the side.

She didn't say that they didn't lack furs now. After all, many people relied on them to exchange for other things. If she said that, they would probably be too embarrassed to come again in the future.

A Yang stood there in a daze for a while, and finally said nothing. He decided to wait until the next time he got something good in the wild before giving it to Ji Lang.

After this incident, more and more people came to exchange clothes. Some people knew that he wanted to raise pheasants and even caught a lot of pheasants for him.

There were a lot of chicken feathers cut, so Ji Lang made a few chicken feather shuttlecocks, and the children had another toy.
