Chapter 115 Planting 8
However, Ji Lang took a look at the kitten that was not even as tall as a corn cob.
Uh...don't let it be taken away by a mouse.
That shouldn't be the case, after all, there is blood suppression. However, the rats here are really outrageous. When the land was being reclaimed before, a rat hole was dug and collapsed, and four or five rats jumped out of it, all of them were extremely fat. When Ji Lang saw them, his first reaction was that he thought they were the bamboo rats he had seen in the videos on the Internet.
That day, the dogs that followed us all had a good meal.
Corn stalks and pumpkin vines can both be used as firewood. They are easy to light. Just put them outside to dry and then pull them back.
Originally, Ji Lang wanted to build a pile of firewood like the ones commonly seen in the village, but it hasn't dried yet, and he doesn't know how to build it. If he doesn't build it well, it will collapse at any time. He will have to let Qing Jiu and Xi Shi and the others study it then.
Da Mao has finally recovered after lying down for these days. His two legs were broken, and now he can't run or jump. He lay pitifully in the shed that Ji Lang had built for him. He watched Xiao Man chasing Lie Feng, Er Mao and San Mao, laughing and having fun. He covered his nose with his paws, looking up with a dejected look, just like when Lie Feng was acting coquettishly and pretending to be pitiful.
Grandma Xue, who was sitting next to it and grinding medicine powder, found it funny and took half a sausage from the shelf nearby to feed it.
After spending so many days together, Damao has become very familiar with Grandma Xue. He rubs his head against Grandma Xue's hand and wags his tail happily.
It was obviously recovering from its injuries, and it had gained weight. It was less active and only ate less in the first few days because of the pain in its wound. After that, Grandma Xue shared her food with it every day, and Ji Lang would occasionally send it some big bones with meat, and a group of children would also share the white roots they dug with it. It has been very busy recently, and sometimes it is after dinner time when we finish our work. It is okay for adults, but it is not good for children to be hungry like this all the time, so Ji Lang and Ye would cook some white roots, potatoes, and duck eggs in the pot every morning for the children to eat.
Several little guys go to see Da Mao every day. Each of them gives Da Mao a bite of food, and it always gets a lot of delicious food.
And sometimes, Liefeng would catch small prey and bring it to it.
With such feeding, Damao gradually gained more meat on his body. Sometimes when he lay there sleeping with his head tilted back, the meat on his back would be piled up in three folds. So now Grandma Xue doesn't dare to feed him too many snacks. If a dog is fat, it will get sick, and if it is fat, it will run slower, which is also dangerous outside.
However, Damao may not be able to go hunting with us in the future. He was seriously injured this time. His life was saved, but it is impossible for him to recover to the same or almost the same state as before.
By the time all the crops in the field were planted, more than half a month had passed before Zhou and Xiaoying took their people out to make salt, and they were not the only ones.
Just two days after they had harvested the crops in the fields, Ah Hua and Dayan came suddenly with a small group of people. When they arrived, Xi Shi and Qing Jiu had just been out hunting with their men and had not returned yet. Not long after lunch, everyone was chopping pumpkins and taking out pumpkin seeds to dry before planting. There was a slight cool breeze blowing from time to time, and Ji Lang was sitting under the shed drowsy, his hands moving intermittently, and it felt like he would fall asleep in the next second.
Suddenly, Ermao and Sanmao, who were lying under the sink to cool off, jumped up and barked "Woof woof woof" towards the mountain below.
Ji Lang was so frightened that he started to curse out of habit, "What are you two doing? You scared me to death, believe it or not..."
No, he suddenly realized, Ermao and Sanmao would never bark randomly, there must be something unusual. Thinking of the other people in the tribe who were still working in the fields, he immediately went to the yard to find Sa Shi who was taking care of the baby.
Sa Shi followed him out and looked down the mountain, but couldn't see anything. Her hearing and perception were not as strong as Xi Shi's, so she didn't notice anything. Turning back, she saw Ji Lang and several other people in the family each holding a kitchen knife for chopping pumpkins, with anxious looks on their faces. If you didn't know, you would think they were in a hurry to chop people.
"I'll go to the field to find Brother Guo and the others and ask them to come back. You stay at home and keep the door closed and don't go out." Sa Shi picked up the long knife placed beside the door, opened the door and ran away, leaving Ji Lang and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
I don’t know what’s going on. Why did this guy just run away without being afraid of any danger?
The waiting process was very anxious, and Ermao and Sanmao, those two guys, would bark wildly at the foot of the mountain from time to time. When they were tired, they would take a break and then continue barking. Ji Lang was so annoyed by the noise from them that he couldn't calm down at all.
Sometimes I wonder if Qingjiu and his companions are in danger outside. Sometimes I wonder if those apes who escaped earlier are coming back for revenge. Sometimes I wonder if some new beasts have come...
In short, my mind is never idle for a moment.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Ye thought of the way Ji Lang was strangled by the neck when Dayu launched a sneak attack last time. He was scared when he thought about it now. He silently put the kitchen knife aside and went to the yard to get out a nearly two-meter-long sword. It was just sharpened yesterday. The remaining iron was not enough to burn two weapons, so he simply burned a big one and wanted to keep it for his own use. After it was burned and polished, it was of no use, so he just hung it in the doorway. Now Ye was holding it in his hand. It was a bit heavy, but holding this big one in his hand, he felt safe.
These people were waiting nervously, and they seemed to hear Sa Shi's loud voice, yelling, accompanied by hearty laughter.
There was another female voice speaking to her in a loud voice.
This voice...
Lan, who was closest to the door, looked out through the crack and soon saw Sa Shi carrying a big knife, followed by Ah Hua, holding Ah Bai, Dayan and a few familiar-looking hunters.
Ermao and Sanmao came to the door and barked. Now everyone knew who was coming, so they quickly drove them away. These two guys were so reckless, so they must be careful not to bite their acquaintances. When Ah Hua and the others came before, the puppies were still young, but now they have completely forgotten about anything.
After opening the door, Ah Hua came in first and smiled at Ji Lang, "Priest, we are sorry to bother you."
Ji Lang, "I didn't expect you guys to come. I was thinking of asking Qing Jiu to bring you some seeds." He pointed to the pumpkins drying in the outer courtyard and said, "Look at our pumpkins and the corn you gave us. We're going to plant them in the fields in the next two days. It's a good opportunity for you to come and learn how to plant them."
This was agreed upon before. If the corn is grown, some will be distributed to the Baiyun Tribe. However, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Although there is a lot of corn, it will eventually be eaten up. It is better to teach them how to grow it.
"I was just thinking about the time of harvest you mentioned before, so I came here with a thick face and estimated it, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Ah Hua said. Ah Bai, who was holding her hand, had already run under the tree to play with some friends he hadn't seen for a long time. He found that there were several new faces, but there seemed to be no social awkwardness between the children. After a while, they were laughing and playing together.
Because of the split of the Baiyun tribe, there are fewer people in the tribe. The conflicts between adults will also affect the relationships between children. Many people in the tribe are now cautious. They don't like to get along with other people, and they don't allow their children to contact others casually. Abai doesn't have many playmates in the Baiyun tribe. He can only follow Dayan every day. He seems to have grown up and become much more stable. But seeing how happy he is now, Ahua feels happy and a little sad.
The Baiyun tribe came here to exchange for food. They carried a lot of furs, dried vegetables and fruits, and even some beautiful little stones. When they brought them over before, Sa Shi and the others liked them very much, so they took more this time.
"We want to exchange these for some grain seeds. After we went back last time, we thought about it and felt that your planting is indeed a good choice, especially now that I can't go out hunting normally." Dayan said, "We only left a small part in the tribe and plan to go back and exchange it for some salt. A lot of salt will be used during the windy season."
Ji Lang suddenly became curious, "Where did you change the salt before?"
"Go to the tribes on the coast to exchange it. They have a lot of salt, and it seems like they will never run out. Moreover, they are in great need of furs, and one fur can be exchanged for a lot of coarse salt." Although this coarse salt tastes a bit bitter, it comes in large quantities and can be used for a long time after being exchanged once.
