Chapter 158: See you again in the cold season 13
After Ji Lang woke up, he went to check on Xiao Bei. Xiao Bei was still asleep, but after Grandma Xue fed him a bowl of hot medicine, he slowly woke up.
"Priest..." Xiaobei woke up and saw someone standing beside him, and shouted in a low voice.
This guy realized belatedly and started to feel wronged, "The priest, Xiao Hei, actually wants to kill me."
"You deserve it." Ji Lang rolled his eyes at him. "I told Dashu to tell you a long time ago not to get so close to that person. Who can you blame if you don't listen?"
Xiao Bei felt even more aggrieved. It was not that he didn't listen, but Xiao Hei sometimes had a dark face and gloomy eyes, and he was afraid.
"Where are Aqiao and Akuan?" he asked. He clearly saw those two people before he fainted last night, and now he appeared in the tribe, which means they must have returned as well.
Ji Lang said unhappily, "Going to get beaten? Why are you asking this and you are planning to go now?"
"I...I am willing to be punished." Xiao Bei said without confidence. Knowing that A Kuan and A Qiao had also returned, he understood that the priests should have known Xiao Hei's plan, so he didn't need to say anything more.
"We don't dare to fight you now, so you should heal your wound first." Ji Lang took a towel soaked in hot water, handed it to him, and asked him to wipe his face.
Xiao Bei had rested all night and was now able to get off the kang. He was also hungry. When he was thinking about cooking, he suddenly realized that the food and furs he had brought with him were gone. He was pushed down the mountain, so his things must have been taken away by Xiao Hei and the others.
He was visibly depressed again.
Ji Lang: "What's going on?"
"I'm out of pickled meat and furs." He began to worry again. The winter season was still long, and the food he left in the tribe would definitely not be enough. He had originally planned to exchange the furs for some food.
Ji Lang, "You're talking about this. Ah Qiao and Ah Kuan said they brought back a lot of things, and they will share them with you when the time comes. I'll keep all the bamboo shoots you dug for you. You can use them to exchange for some food to stock up. Work hard in the future, okay?"
Xiao Bei nodded quickly. He dug a lot of bamboo shoots diligently every day. After carrying them back, they were placed in one place. Many people who couldn't go out would come and exchange food or furs for fresh bamboo shoots. Now there were a lot of things piled there.
If we go back and clean up, we should be able to store a lot of food.
"Don't bother, go to the kitchen and eat, I've left some for you." Ji Lang said.
Xiao Bei nodded like a woodpecker again, walked to the door with three steps in a row, turned back to look at Ji Lang, "Priest, thank you, our tribe will definitely get better and better." After saying that, he lifted the curtain and went out.
Ji Lang felt that this child was a little strange.
Grandma Xue smiled. She understood the child's feelings and knew what he meant. Such a tolerant tribe with clear rewards and punishments would definitely get better and better.
After Xiao Bei had his meal, he was taken back by a few hunters from next door. They had some friendship with him and would usually take care of him, so Ji Lang went with them.
When I returned to the room, Xiaoman and Wu were sitting on the kang playing with Simao and Wumao. Wu was scratching the paws of the two little guys angrily, preventing them from sleeping.
Because he couldn't sleep because of the tickling last night, then he suddenly had an idea and put his feet into Xiaoman's quilt, and he was let go.
I don’t know why, but these two little guys are so well-behaved in front of Xiaoman.
Ji Lang couldn't help but joined the cat-stroking team. The two kittens were so annoyed that they couldn't sleep, so they simply jumped off the kang and slipped out through the crack in the door to play.
"Hey, why are you so disrespectful to me? I won't give these two guys special treatment in the future." Ji Lang said helplessly.
Xiaoman's eyes rolled around, "Then can you give us a special meal, Father?" He now knew what a special meal meant. Although he had just eaten not long ago, snacks would not take up space in his stomach.
"Okay, then what do you want to eat?" Ji Lang asked. He always felt that the child was going to talk about fried chicken and French fries again. He didn't know why children were particularly fond of this kind of fried food.
Sure enough, the little guy opened his mouth and said, "Father, I want to eat fried chicken. It would be even better if there were French fries."
The warm little hand was put to Jilang's face to warm him up. There was cat hair on the hand, which felt a little itchy when it brushed against Jilang's cheek.
I'm still frying chicken, but there are only a few chickens left. If I fry more, they won't even make a pair.
Xiaoman was a little disappointed when she knew she couldn't eat fried chicken, but she became happy again when Jilang said he could make fried pork strips for them.
Part of the pork that was slaughtered previously was hung outside the doorway and frozen. It had to be taken back to the kitchen and put in warm water to thaw. Ji Lang always felt that the taste of the meat after it was thawed was a bit bad, but there was no other way. At this temperature, if it was not put in water, it would not thaw in the kitchen for several months.
It was already afternoon when we had the fried pork fillet.
Abai and Xiaopang didn't come to play today, so Jilang took the little ones, some freshly fried pork and French fries, to play with them.
When we got there and asked, we found out that, oh, they had originally gone to watch the fun. After all, this was the first time someone in the tribe was punished. But seeing how miserable the two men looked after being beaten, the boys felt sorry for them and helped them move things, served them tea and water, and took care of them.
Xiaopang picked up a strip of meat and took a bite with satisfaction, "So delicious, so fragrant." After eating several strips in a row, he told Xiaoman and the others about how Aqiao and the others were punished with a lingering fear on his face. After he finished speaking, he patted his chest exaggeratedly and said, "When I grow up, I will definitely not make mistakes or get punished."
It was horrible to be beaten.
Moreover, he was beaten in front of everyone. Not only was it painful but it was also very embarrassing. Xiaopang didn't want to experience this at all.
Although he hasn't understood the meaning of these rules in the tribe, he has already seen the consequences of violating the rules, and the little guy has remembered them firmly in his mind.
"Is it so scary?" Xiaoman didn't understand. He rarely saw this expression on Xiaopang's face.
Xiao Pang nodded heavily, "Yes! They were all bleeding and couldn't move after the beating. They were carried into the house. But Uncle Dayan said to be careful when beating them. They are only superficial injuries and won't hurt the bones. Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid. I'll be obedient and I won't be punished." Xiaoman said stubbornly. He was actually a little scared. After all, being beaten would really hurt. In the cave of Taoli tribe before, he felt painful for a long time when pinched by grandma, not to mention being beaten with a big wooden stick.
Ji Lang originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk to them about some principles, but after listening to them talk, he suddenly felt relieved. The children actually did understand everything. They actually had a vague concept of some principles in their hearts. They couldn't describe it themselves, but they could tell right from wrong. After thinking about it, he decided to let them figure it out on their own.
It was a bit cold outside. Ji Lang felt that the pork fillet and French fries, which had just been out of the pot, had a layer of solidified grease on their surface. "Why don't you guys go inside to play? It's too cold outside."
"Okay, let's go to our cave. Mom and dad made me a little wooden rabbit. I'll show it to you." Abai said, pointing outside the doorway.
The little guys immediately stood up excitedly, "Yes, yes."
A group of people walked out of the doorway again.
Xiaoman was led by Xiaoliu to the door, and then ran back, "Father, don't you want to go and see?"
Ji Lang touched his messy hair, which was so cold that his hands felt a little cold. "I'm not going. I'm going to go see Aqiao and the others. You guys put on your hats to avoid getting cold."
The little guy agreed, knowing that Ji Lang had something to do and he didn't need to accompany him, so he trotted out again.
Aqiao and Akuan didn't live in the same cave originally, but they were arranged to be together for the convenience of taking care of them. Now they were both lying... both lying on the kang, crying out "ouch, ouch". For hunters, although it was not very decent to moan like this when it hurts, they always felt that it would not hurt so much if they cried out. They remained silent, and even though medicine had been applied, Aqiao felt that his buttocks were sore and hot from being spanked, as if they would catch fire in the next second.
Ji Lang came in. The cave was inhabited by grown men who were not suffering from gout. The smell was mixed together and was not very pleasant. Ji Lang put the medicine he brought next to them. "Sprinkle the powder on the wound to relieve the pain and heal quickly. Rub the medicine in the bottle on the bruises without wounds to relieve the pain."
The two men quickly reached out to grab him and tried to climb up to thank him, but Ji Lang quickly refused.
If you can admit your mistakes and correct them, and turn back in time, everything will be fine.
"By the way... Xiao Hei and the others might bring other tribes to cause trouble for our tribe. What are you going to do about the priest?" A Qiao asked. He didn't have any other thoughts, but he felt that this matter was very important and he had to prepare in advance.
"The leader will make arrangements, you just need to focus on recovering." It's not that Ji Lang didn't want to tell him, it's mainly because he really hadn't had time to discuss this matter yet.
