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

Chapter 124 Python 1

Of course, there are lazy people in the tribe. There is a field where pumpkins and corns are planted. The grass is so thick that the pumpkin vines cannot be found. The corns are also smaller than those in other fields and look malnourished. At first, Xishi couldn't bear to see them wasting food and looked for them several times. But the two men just pretended to come to the field and went back. Later, no one said anything about it.

Ji Lang specifically reminded them that in the future, only the remaining bad meat and bones from the meat hunted by the hunting team could be distributed to them, and when the cold season came, no one could help these two people.

Since they are like this, let them go and collect the fruits by themselves or go hungry. The land will wait for the next reincarnation, and Ji Lang also decided to divide it among other people.

Anyway, there is no such thing as a land deed here. It all depends on one word. If they don't cherish the land, then they can give up the right to use the land.

No matter what era, there will always be people who want to take shortcuts. He doesn't want to waste his time and energy on such people. Of course, if they can find a way to survive, or become someone like Li who has "skills", that is their own ability.

The others didn’t know because they didn’t eat together, but Zhou and Xiaoying were starving like crazy and ate a lot at every meal. One time, Ye made scrambled eggs with wild onions, and Xiaoying actually cried while eating.

A bunch of people thought something was wrong with him, but he just ate rice and mumbled "it was delicious" and then started crying.

Ji Lang also asked them if they encountered any danger or incidents on the way. They both said there was no major danger, but... on the way they met a tribe that the Baiyun tribe had had dealings with before. Originally, they had arrived at their territory, and Dayan said they were going to say hello, but after entering, they found that the tribe was full of complete skeletons.

It looked like they had been attacked, but what was very suspicious was that they did not find any traces of wild animals. The weather was hot and the smell was unbearable if you got close to it, let alone walking around inside. The team left quickly without staying for long. Even so, many people vomited after coming out due to the fumes.

After Zhou finished talking about this, he slowly said, "I have a bad guess."

Ji Lang was a little confused.

Qing Jiu, who was sitting behind him, and Xi Shi, who was feeding the cub with rice porridge, said at the same time, "Cannibals."

And it shouldn't be just a few people, I think it should be a group.

After all, after the tribe was attacked by wild beasts, the remains should have been missing some limbs, but what Zhou said was that the skeletons were all complete and nothing was missing, which meant that these people were either poisoned or killed by weapons. In such a world, the corpses were exposed to the outside for a long time, and there were no wild animals or ferocious birds to eat them. This meant that someone was guarding them, and then after the corpses rotted, they ate the rotten meat, leaving the skeletons behind and walked away.

They can only be cannibals.

Moreover, this happened not long before Zhou and his friends went there. After all, time has passed, so no matter how bad the smell is, it should have dissipated.

Ji Lang: Why are there cannibals again? They are still haunting us.

"Did you find any trace of them on the road?" Ji Lang asked A Zhou and Xiao Ying.

Ah Zhou shook his head. "There were no traces on the road. We paid special attention when we came back, but we didn't find anything."

This is not a good thing. After all, if you really encounter cannibals head-on, the hunters in the tribe will not be afraid of them. But if you know there is such a group of people, you don’t know when they will come out to disgust you. It’s like a toad crawling on your feet. It doesn’t bite you, but it disgusts you.

The problem is that this "toad" can bite people.

Even more disgusting.

Everyone chatted for a while and said that if they encountered stray puppies outside, they could pick up two and raise them. Dogs are good at guarding the house, but those that grew up in the wild should not be kept. Dogs also like to live in groups. Dogs that grew up in the wild basically have packs of stray dogs. In addition, they are very wild and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not hurt people.

But that's just talk. I've been here for so long, and whether I'm going out or in the yard, I've never heard a strange dog barking. How could I possibly encounter a puppy?

Knowing that Zhou and Xiaoying didn't have good food outside, Li and Ye tried different ways to make delicious food for them. The two were dark and thin, and if it weren't for the muscles on their bodies that made them look strong, they would have looked no different from African refugees.

The family usually takes good care of them, letting them rest at home and not worry about hunting. However, these two are not the kind of people who can sit idle. When they are not hunting, they find things to do at home and never have a moment of rest.

Ji Lang was weaving a chicken coop with bamboo strips, and Xiao Ying came over to learn. Fortunately, pheasants would not bite the cage like rabbits do, so there was no need to use bicycle spokes. Bamboo or vines would be enough to weave it firmly.

Ah Zhou was cleaning the sheep pen and the duck pen. When he was around, he and Guo Qi were the ones who did this. This morning, Guo Qi wanted to help, but Ah Zhou said no, as he had nothing to do all day and he could do it. Guo Qi finally got a rare chance to relax.

Even though the sun had just come out, the temperature of the ground had already risen. Yesterday, Xiaoshu brought a basket of wild fruits to exchange for a pair of goggles with him. Now it was a good time to hang the fruits in the well to cool them down, so that Xiaoman and the others could eat them when they came back from the next yard.

It was the time when most of the fruits were ripe. The tribe had picked a lot of fruits recently, so Grandma Xue made some jam. She called a few kids to her place early in the morning to eat it, and the dog followed too.

Ji Lang entered the yard and just lifted the door curtain to go inside.

"Bang." Hearing the sound of a hoe falling to the ground, he turned his head and saw that it came from the small doorway over the toilet. It should be Miaozai playing with his two kittens.

He shouted, "Meow, don't take Xiaoman to play in there, or you'll hurt your child and make him stupid." He walked over there while shouting.

A strange "squeaky" sound was heard, like some giant species was crawling. Ji Lang suddenly stopped.

No, this is not a sound that cats can make. Something is coming in.

Thinking of this, he immediately ran out.

Xiaoying, who was sitting in the outer yard, just heard what Ji Lang was shouting, but couldn't hear clearly. Today, even Uncle Lin, who usually seldom went out, went to walk around the fields. Others were also out, some were out, some were here, and some were here. She didn't know what he was shouting. Xiaoying just stood up and wanted to go in to take a look, when she saw Ji Lang running out in a hurry.

It’s so fast that there are afterimages of both legs.

His face was filled with anxiety and fear.

Xiaoying was frightened by his behavior, "What's wrong, Brother Lang?"

"Fuck, fuck, I...it seems like there is something in the yard!" Ji Lang shouted.

"what?"

The few people who were busy nearby had originally been attracted by Ji Lang, and now they were a little confused by what he said.

"What did you see?"

Ji Lang, "I didn't see it, I heard it, at the small doorway."

Afraid that the group would not believe him, he added, "It was so loud, it felt like a big thing."

Ah Zhou also came out of the sheepfold and placed the dirty shovel in the corner. "Then I'll go in and take a look."

Sa Shi also pushed the two little guys who were originally playing with her to Lan next to her and followed them. There were weapons hanging on the wall of the doorway, and they both took one.

Ji Lang and Ye also followed, each holding a knife, holding it tightly against their chests. You might say they are afraid, but now they want to follow and watch. You might say they are brave, but they look so cowardly that it is unbearable to watch.

Sa Shi felt a little disgusted, it was really useless.

Walk quickly to the front.

She was not the only one who was brave. She still had some brains at this time. She did not walk directly into the small doorway, but took a detour to look inside. After just one glance, she shook her body as if she was disgusted and nauseated. She turned back to look at Ji Lang who was hiding in the distance and said, "The rabbit you raised is finished."

What?! Ji Lang was no longer afraid. He took two steps at a time and walked quickly to Sa Shi's side, looking into the small doorway.

Oh my god, a huge dark golden python with black spots was coiled in the doorway. I couldn’t see its head, only its tail as thick as a bowl.

Ji Lang immediately got goosebumps. This big guy, with a tail thicker than his thigh, would suddenly run away.

The python was extremely strong, had thick skin and a long body, and was very difficult to attack. The four of them, especially the two who were dumbfounded, had no way to deal with this big creature, so they could only call for more people.

This guy can swallow a person in one bite.

It was probably the several cages of rabbits in the small doorway that attracted the python's attention. Without turning back, the few of them hurried out of the inner courtyard.

The hunting team had just left not long ago, so Liefeng should be able to catch up with them. Ji Lang made a prompt decision, "Sa Shi, go to the next yard to find Liefeng first, and ask Liefeng to call Qingjiu and the others back."

Liefeng is smart and can understand simple instructions.

Sa Shi is also a man of action. He immediately rushed out of the door and disappeared.

"Xiaoying, go to the fields and tell the people working there to be careful when they come back, and not to walk on the road above the yard." It's not that Ji Lang is too cautious, but if the python notices it and runs away, then no one knows when it will come back. It will be another bomb, and if they meet face to face, it will be like delivering itself to the door.

"Ah Zhou, you and Ye go to the courtyard and guard it. If you see it running away, pay attention to the direction it goes, but your safety should be the priority. If it tries to attack, run away quickly."

"Sister Lan, you and Aunt Li take the two kids to the next yard, and ask three or four of the hunters left there to come over, and don't make too much noise." There was a team of hunters left in the next yard today who had originally planned to water the fields in the morning and pick noodles in the afternoon. Now was a good time to call a few of them over to prevent that guy from suddenly going berserk. At least they could resist one or two.

Ji Lang could only make such arrangements first, and wait for Qing Jiu and Guo Qi to return with the hunting team before making further plans.

"No, can you stay here alone?" Li refused immediately and asked Lan to take the two kids over first. She would stay behind and leave when someone came. She knew her own worth and knew she couldn't help much if she stayed, but she couldn't leave Ji Lang alone to face the danger.

Ji Lang didn't say much. The two courtyards were close to each other and Sa Shi would be back soon.

Sa Shi did come back quickly, bringing Damao, Ermao, and three hunters with him. Liefeng and Sanmao had already run down the mountain.

There was a wooden door leading to the outer courtyard from the small doorway. For safety reasons, it was made very thick and sturdy. But now and then, one could hear the sound of the door being banged, again and again, as if it was knocking on Ji Lang's heart. His cheek felt a little itchy, so he reached out to touch it and his hand was covered in sweat.

Because of the hot weather and the nervousness, he was sweating profusely.

Sa Shi came over and spoke in a teasing tone, "You've been out hunting with the hunting team so many times, and you're still scared now~"

"..." Ji Lang didn't want to be nervous or afraid, but he was afraid of snakes from the beginning, and he had been afraid of them since he was a child. Although after cycling and coming here, he could see snakes almost every day when the weather was hot, so he gradually got used to it and was in a state where it didn't bother me and I wouldn't bother it.

But the problem is that the thing is a python. My goodness, its big head blocked the entire small doorway.

But he still tried to save his dignity, "I'm not afraid, it's just too hot."

"Oh~ Your hands are shaking because of the heat, I understand." Sa Shi continued to laugh at him.

Ji Lang's mind was not working at this moment, and he didn't react, "Ah...right."

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Sa Shi would have wanted to laugh out loud. Although she was fierce, she knew that she couldn't make too much noise at this moment. Besides, although Ji Lang didn't react now, he would react eventually. When the time came, he would go to her second brother to complain. Then she probably wouldn't know when she would be tricked.

She knew her second brother very well. He usually didn't talk much and seemed to care about nothing, but he would hold a grudge against anything related to Ji Lang.

The sun had risen completely, and the temperature around gradually increased a little, making Ji Lang, who was already sweating from nervousness, even sweatier. But the big guy in the doorway seemed to think that this small cave was very cool, so he huddled inside and didn't move much.

A hunter took a look through the crack of the door from a distance, then came back to the group and asked, "Is it asleep?"

Sa Shi's eyes lit up, "Then let's kill it while it's asleep."

No, you must be kidding. Jilang and several other hunters looked at her with a look that said "Are you serious?"

"Don't be so nervous. It's not like I'm incapable of making a living. It's not difficult to deal with a big insect." Sa Shi shrugged indifferently. She really didn't think it was a big deal.

But the meat of this thing is not tasty, and some of it is even poisonous, which will make the body feel uncomfortable after eating. People in the tribe rarely go hunting this thing, otherwise it would be eaten to extinction.
