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

Chapter 129 Nightmare

Qingjiu took Dayan, Azhou, and more than twenty hunters to set off for the Baiyun tribe. Xishi, Sashi, Guoqi and other hunters stayed behind to protect the tribe.

"Don't act rashly when you get over there. First find out how many people there are. The cannibals are cunning and brutal. We can't let any of them go. Make accurate moves. I know you are not a reckless person, but you must be careful after the end." Uncle Lin reminded Qing Jiu.

Qing Jiu nodded, "I know Uncle Lin, if you encounter any problems in the tribe, you will have to help Ji Lang."

"Okay, don't worry, we are all here and won't let your Ji Lang be in danger." Sa Shi teased.

"We will be back soon. You should also pay attention at home and discuss anything with everyone." Qing Jiu said to Ji Lang.

Ji Lang hummed, "Come back early." Although he didn't want this person to go out, this matter was indeed very important, so he had no choice but to go.

The two of them said goodbye reluctantly. At first, the others were watching with gossip and smirks on their faces, but later they felt numb from watching them. The two of them hadn't gotten tired of each other yet.

"Well, let's go." Ah Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and urged Qing Jiu to set off. After all, he was not as clingy with Ye.

They took Liefeng and Sanmao away, and Damao and Ermao stayed behind to look after the house.

The two children who were carried here and fainted woke up shortly after Abai woke up. They were not seriously injured, but they were afraid, hungry and nervous. After being rescued by Dayan and the others, they relaxed mentally and fell asleep.

The two children were a boy of five or six years old, and a girl who was no more than ten years old. The boy's mother was also taken there with the three children. She happened to encounter wild geese returning and luckily survived. Now she is taking care of her cubs, but the girl's mother is no longer with us.

After she woke up, she looked at this strange place and everything strange, feeling a little dazed.

"Xiao Liu, have something to eat." Ah Hua brought in a bowl of meat porridge and touched her head. She hadn't eaten much since she woke up. She had been hugging her legs and not speaking, as if she had been stimulated by something.

Xiao Liu looked up at Ah Hua. Her mother was gone. She knew that if Ah Hua hadn't kept her in the cave, she might have died now. However, her family had all died. She was alive now, but what about the cold season? She couldn't survive by herself, and she would still die.

She took the ceramic bowl from Ah Hua's hand. She didn't know whether she was too hungry or was in too much pain to notice her hunger. For the first time, she felt that the food was a little hard to swallow. But seeing Ah Hua's caring and somewhat pitiful expression, she still drank the bowl of meat porridge.

"Don't worry, when your mother was taken away from the cave, I promised her that as long as I live, I will treat you like my own child. Don't let your mother down and live well." Ahua said.

Xiao Liu didn't say a word, but two lines of tears fell. She cried silently at first, but later she cried so loudly that everyone came over.

Little Sun Man also came over. He was so small that he struggled to squeeze through the legs of a bunch of adults and came to Xiao Liu. "Sister, don't cry. I'll give you some candy."

He used to be introverted and didn't dare to speak in front of outsiders. When he met strangers, he only dared to get close to Ji Lang and look at him timidly.

But Ji Lang loves him and praises him for every little thing he does. The little guy becomes more and more arrogant and courageous day by day. Now he is simply a little community bully.

He held two strawberry candies in his palm. It was hot at the moment and the child's body temperature was also higher. The candies had melted a little and a sweet smell came out, a fragrance that Xiao Liu had never smelled before.

"What is this?" The plastic paper wrapping the candy was pink, and had a layer of beautiful light that flashed, and the little girl's attention was immediately attracted.

Xiaoman taught Xiaoliu how to open the candy wrapper. When Xiaoliu put the candy into her mouth, her eyes immediately widened. This was the first time she had eaten such sweet food. She had only eaten sweet fruits before, but this was much more delicious than fruits.

Maybe it was because children have a special magnetic field. Soon Xiaoman and Xiaoliu were whispering to each other. Everyone was relieved. Xiaoman was not a partial person. He gave two to Xiaoliu and also shared one with another little boy, Asong. He was only five years old. Maybe it was natural or he was just scared this time, but he spoke a little incoherently. He opened his big eyes and looked at the two shiny candies in his hand curiously.

Xiaoman didn't forget even Abai, and placed two candies next to his head, "Brother Abai, I put your candies here, eat them when you get better."

Of the people who stayed behind from the Baiyun tribe, except for two who were seriously injured and unable to go out, the rest had been locked up in the cave for several days. Their physical and mental conditions were very poor and they needed to have a good rest. Ji Lang was not in a hurry to make arrangements for them, and he didn't know what Dayan meant, whether they planned to return to the Baiyun tribe after taking revenge, or stay here.

In fact, Ji Lang hoped that they could stay. After all, they were still short of people and were not afraid of having no place to live. Besides, it was not the typhoon season yet, so there was still time to stock up on food.

Alas, it’s a bit too hasty to say this now. After all, Qingjiu and the others just left, and we don’t know how many days it will take for them to come back. We also don’t know whether they can successfully deal with those cannibals.

The wind started to blow in the afternoon, and once the sky turned cloudy, there was no longer that stuffy feeling. Ji Lang thought about it and decided that they didn't have to go out to gather and hunt for the next few days, so they might as well dig a few more caves. Even if Dayan and his men didn't stay in the future, he believed that there would be more and more people in the tribe, and they could burn bricks while digging caves, so they could use them directly when needed.

These people are all action-oriented. Even if Ji Lang didn't say anything, they all wanted to find something to do, let alone have any arrangements. They immediately took their tools and prepared to start digging happily.

"By the way, Priest, where do you plan to dig the new cave?" Dashu asked. Although the yard they lived in was dug larger before, the caves have been divided up now, so there is not much place left to dig.

Ji Lang took them around the outer courtyard next door and drew a few spots. "When you dig in these spots, you can move the food from the cave in the inner courtyard and put it outside. It will be safer to live in the cave in the courtyard."

Ji Lang planned to cover the newly dug caves with bricks to prevent rats from drilling into them and destroying their food.

It is used specifically to store food. In the future, they may find more and more food that can be stored, so they will need warehouses specifically for storing food.

Speaking of this, Ji Lang remembered that in the last reincarnation, Feng found some radishes and brought them back. Radishes are vegetables that can be stored for a long time. He can go and see if there are any more at that time. Also, he can try to find seeds. He remembered that radish seeds are things like bean pods that grow on the branches and leaves after flowering. Those are radish seeds.

In the future, he will not only raise livestock in the tribe, but also grow crops, vegetables, and fruits. He wants to develop this tribe, which currently only has caves, into a city.

Even if those cannibals or ghost eaters come again, they can't come in easily, nor do they dare to attack this place easily.

Ji Lang was always a little uneasy at night when Qingjiu was not around. He had just played with Xiaoman for a while, and now the child had fallen asleep. His little belly was bulging and rising and falling slightly. Ji Lang couldn't help but reach out and pat it. It was like a small watermelon, and maybe it was a little itchy. Xiaoman reached out and scratched his belly, and the blanket on his body slipped to the side.

Ji Lang covered him up and stared at the moonlight faintly coming in through the window, in a daze, wondering where Qing Jiu and the others had gone. Originally, Ji Lang didn't want him to go, after all, he was not the only one in the tribe who was good at fighting. But Qing Jiu said he wanted to go, and Ji Lang didn't stop him. He knew that Qing Jiu wanted to collect more information about the cannibals and learn more about their habits. After all, who knew how many cannibals there were.

Ah Hua couldn't sleep in the yard outside. She had never lived in a tent before and always felt a little stuffy. But it was cold at night and there were mosquitoes, so she didn't want to open the tent. She could only get out of the tent and let Ah Bai and Xiao Liu sleep inside. She sat on the mat outside and looked at the yard which was the same every time she came here.

There were many strings of red peppers hanging on the wall leading from the doorway to the pottery kiln. The last time she came, Ji Lang asked her to take some back. They were more fragrant than the red fruits they picked in the mountains, but not as spicy. The wall between the pottery kiln and the kitchen was hung with dried fish and dried meat, covered with a layer of gauze to prevent insects and birds from stealing them. There was also corn hanging everywhere in the yard. This place was really rich, and they had many kinds of food.

She didn't care. She had gotten used to the cold season when she was hungry and had to survive on her last breath. But she didn't want her children, Abai, and now Xiaoliu to spend their lives like this. The time she spent here during the last winter season was the happiest time for her.

Before, Dayan was reluctant to come here because of the Baiyun tribe, but this time, she will convince him.

However, I don’t know whether the Taotie tribe will accept them. After all, they may have been short of people before, but now two waves of people have joined, and they are no longer a small tribe with only a few people.

Ermao heard the noise, his ears moved, he stretched his head to take a look, and continued to lie down and sleep.

With fewer people, the tribe seemed a little quieter than usual at night.

Ji Lang finally felt a little sleepy, but somehow he suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if someone was pinching his neck. It was very uncomfortable, but also very familiar. He looked up with great effort, but found nothing at first, but suddenly, those eyes looked at him, and he seemed to be fixed in place. That look was cold and vicious, revealing an extremely murderous intent. It was Dayu's eyes.

Ji Lang was suddenly awakened.

I subconsciously touched my neck and found nothing unusual, not like I was being pinched. But everything that just happened in the dream seemed so real.

It was still dark, and he didn't know what time it was. He lay on the kang at a loss, listening to Xiaoman's even breathing, and slowly calmed down.

This feeling was very strange, and for a moment he really thought Dayu was alive.

This was the first night, and he just thought that he heard the cannibals. Dayu did scare him last time, leaving him with some psychological trauma, so he had nightmares. It was the case of thinking about something during the day and dreaming about it at night.

But he had the same dream the next day and the day after, which was not right.

With big dark circles under his eyes, Ji Lang was holding a bowl of porridge in a daze, yawning from time to time.

"Oh, why can't you sleep at night when my second brother is not here?" Sa Shi asked him jokingly.

It's not that he couldn't sleep, but when he fell asleep, he would have dreams and be scared awake. Ji Lang couldn't say this, because it would make him look like a coward. However, his current situation was definitely not right, so he thought for a while and tentatively asked them, "How much do you know about cannibals?"

No one thought much about it and thought he was just worried about Qing Jiu and the others.

Li is older and has heard more news. "They are very difficult to deal with. Tribes targeted by them rarely remain safe, unless they choose to fight back like we did."

Uncle Lin nodded and said, "Some elders in the Taoli tribe speculated that they eat human flesh because they like it and because they seem to die if they don't eat human flesh."

This is what Uncle Lin heard from an old man who had fought with cannibals before. At that time, the old man went out and met three cannibals.

At that time, their hunting team had more than ten people. The cannibals did not dare to act rashly, and the hunting team could not catch them. The two sides were in a stalemate, and the hunting team was following them. Even though there was no shortage of food in the mountains, the cannibals would hunt, but their stomachs were bloated from eating prey, but they still seemed very hungry and kept stuffing raw meat into their mouths. Until one day, the three cannibals could no longer bear it and launched a sneak attack. One of them was killed by the hunting team, and the remaining two dragged their companions' bodies and ran away.

Without even running far, the two men squatted down and began to devour their companion's body voraciously.

Every time the old man thought of that scene, he felt it was weird and unusual.

After the two cannibals had a hearty meal, as if it was a rare occasion for them to have a full meal, they dragged their companion's mutilated body away from everyone's sight.

The hunting team was so shocked that they didn't react for a long time and immediately followed, but apart from the faint smell of blood in the air, they could not find any trace.

Ji Lang opened his mouth slightly wide when he heard this. This setting was so familiar. Wasn't this a vampire that would die if it didn't suck human blood?

Is this also the setting for cannibals? Must they eat human flesh regularly?

Carnivorous ghost?

Wow, the more I listen, the weirder it seems.

But this has nothing to do with his nightmares.

He hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell everyone about this. If he told everyone, there would be no solution and it would just add to their troubles. If he didn't tell everyone, he might not be able to bear the consequences if something really happened.
