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

Chapter 180 External Conflict 20

In the following days, the hunting team was divided into two groups. One group was led by Dayan to go out for patrol. After knowing that the repelling powder had a great impact on the animal herd, Xishi distributed all the repelling powder that he had prepared before.

Another group, led by Qing Jiu, guarded the perimeter of the tribe to prevent sudden attacks.

Xishi used the medicine prepared by Grandma Tianxue once, but his sense of smell has not recovered yet, and he looks listless and lazy every day.

That night, Ji Lang drank an extra bowl of noodle soup before going to bed, and was woken up by the suffocation while sleeping.

He sat up dazedly and wanted to pat Qingjiu beside him to turn on the light, but when he stretched out his hand, there was nothing next to him, and from time to time, painful sounds came from the next room.

Ji Lang quickly put on his clothes and got off the kang. The lights were on in the rooms next door, and even the door of the cave where Xishi and Sashi lived was open.

Two or three steps in.

I saw Xishi lying on the kang, curled up in pain, held down by Sashi and unable to move. Qingjiu and Guoqi were sitting by the stove, cooking medicine.

The two little guys were not here, but faint crying sounds came from Li's house.

"Did I wake you up?" Qing Jiu saw Ji Lang standing up.

Ji Lang looked at the scene in front of him and realized belatedly that Xi Shi was... addicted.

The moment he reacted, he felt his scalp go numb and cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Perhaps other people present had not yet realized how terrible these things were, but from childhood to adulthood, he had heard countless cases of families being broken up and people dying because of these things, both from adults and on TV news.

His reaction and expression were too strange. Qing Jiu frowned nervously and pressed him down on a small stool beside the stove to warm himself by the fire.

I just came out of bed and got caught in a cold breeze, and I'm sick again.

Xishi felt pain all over his body, as if little bugs were biting him. His head ached terribly, and he wanted something in his heart but he didn't know what it was. He felt very uncomfortable and distressed.

But fortunately, he was still rational and did not struggle when Sa Shi forced him to drink the medicine.

The medicine that Grandma Xue prescribed for him was quite strong, and she also added some herbal sleeping aids. After a while, Xishi fell into a deep sleep.

Among the few people who were awake, even Sa Shi, who was usually talkative, was silent for a rare time.

"When did he start to react like this?" Ji Lang broke the heavy silence.

Sa Shi sighed, "He said he couldn't sleep the second night after he came back, but it wasn't such a big reaction."

He tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. He felt tired when he woke up the next day. Sa Shi asked him several times and found out that he was in severe pain. He went to see Grandma Xue again, but Grandma Xue had tried all the methods she could think of and he had taken a lot of medicine, but he was indeed getting more and more tired.

"Last night, in the middle of the night, he suddenly tossed and turned on the kang and kept yelling. I was afraid of waking up the child, so I slapped him and knocked him out." Sa Shi said somewhat guiltily, his voice getting smaller and smaller as he looked at the condemnation in the eyes of the three people in front of the stove.

"At daybreak, Am and I cooked some medicine for him to drink, and he seemed to be better, but it suddenly started again tonight, and... I took several shots but failed to make him faint."

Okay, I won’t say any more. Feeling that he was about to be photographed, Sa Shi shrank to the corner of the kang, trying to reduce his presence.

Ji Lang didn't have the mood to complain about Sa Shi's carelessness at the moment.

He thought about it and found a way that these people could understand to explain to them the harm and seriousness of that thing.

"According to you, all he can do now is endure it?" After all, he is the one sleeping by her side. How could Sa Shi not feel distressed? The look of Xishi tonight scared even her, not to mention the two little guys.

Ji Lang nodded, "And you have to be careful not to let him hurt himself."

He turned to Qing Jiu and said, "Another thing, ask everyone in the tribe who has had close contact with the animal trainer, especially those who returned from your team in the Ape Cave last time, if there is anything unusual."

He was a little annoyed. He had known how terrible this thing was and had made some preparations, but he still couldn't defend against it.

Especially for someone like Xi Shi whose senses are overloaded, the pain can be magnified many times.

"Don't hide this from him. Wait until he wakes up, Sa, and tell him so that he can have some idea of ​​what's going on." Guo Qi, who had been silent all this time, also said.

Xi Shi is very smart, he must have some guesses. Instead of letting him figure it out on his own, it is better to tell him directly.

It's not a fatal injury, but it's very annoying.

There seemed to be nothing unusual in the days, especially in Xishi. I had no appetite in the first two days after returning, but after that I ate and drank as usual.

Only the lights that always come on every night and the occasional pacing in the yard remind everyone how painful Xishi is going through.

After the hunting team went out several times, they finally found the hiding place of the animal trainers. It seemed that there were some people in their team who were very good at finding caves and had the ability to survive in the caves. Most of the time, they were searching in the mountains.

Even if there were traces left by them ahead, Qing Jiu and the others would not rashly follow these people and the herd of beasts into the cave, which resulted in the search timeline becoming longer and longer.

Especially after a heavy snowstorm, they couldn't even find any trace of the trainers at one point.

Fortunately, their herd was large enough and they always went out to look for food. Together with Liefeng and Sanmao, they finally found their hiding place in the deep mountains just outside the tribe.

It turned out that after these people really came into conflict with the Taoli tribe, they went from being full of confidence to running around in all directions, and were caught off guard many times.

I know they underestimated me.

I want to find an opportunity to leave now, at least to return to the Yanshan tribe. There is still some food stored there, and there is another group of companions. I don’t know if they will bring back good news.

So when they were blocked in the valley, these animal trainers initially tried to defend and retreat at the same time, but it didn't take long before they discovered that these people had murderous intentions towards them.

Only then did he command the herd to launch a counterattack.

But I don’t know if it’s because the ball flowers have been fed less recently, or the herd has not been full. Only a small part of them rushed out when they heard the loud sound of bamboo leaves, and the rest either circled around them or lay lazily motionless.

Several animal trainers looked at each other, unable to conceal the panic in their eyes.

If these beasts get out of control, the first ones to be torn to pieces will be these animal trainers who are always bossing them around.

Those outside can't hold on for long.

But they didn't have many balls left, so they grumbled for a while and decided to just give it a try since it had come to this.
