let go of that priestess

"Not really, I can only tell my husband~"

Jiang Hongdou looked at Ji Cheng's expression in a daze, smiled mischievously, then restrained his expression and said:

"Sometimes, the person who is closest to the gods is also the person who is most likely to doubt the gods.

When you can't change the status quo no matter how hard you try and how pious you are, and you still have to explain the divine will to your clansmen.

When you see with your own eyes that your mother's blood is drained and her body is shriveled, and you still can't smile.

When everyone around you is saying, it’s just that we are not pious enough, we need better sacrifices, and then force yourself to explain the same way, when you are sent to the path of the water god...

Perhaps, my faith at the beginning was strong enough, but when the grand sacrifice that included myself as a sacrifice began, I was not thinking of sacrificing to the gods, but seeking a death.

You don't know... I was really shocked when I saw you at the bottom of the river. I have confessed and panicked in my heart.

But later, I was even more shocked, but I was not afraid at all in my heart, I just felt very relieved.

Because gods really don't exist. "

Chapter 17

Camp, bonfire, kang.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

The girl didn't speak much before, but Ji Cheng has fully understood and can roughly guess.

The efforts of several generations of priests seemed to be useless, and they could only suppress it in their hearts and dare not tell other clansmen.

Then use more pious or crazy behaviors to sacrifice to the gods, pray to the gods, and finally even his own mother died tragically.

The girl is mourning, doubting, and thinking, but she has no answer, and her heart is ashamed.

And her arrival with advanced technology gave her hope.

After careful confirmation, she immediately changed her mind and believed in science, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

Everything is understood...

She was supposed to be a dead person, but she was born because of herself.

This is true both physically and mentally.

Looking at the girl's sad face as she recalled the past, Ji Cheng stroked her hair and sighed softly: "Sorrow will change..."

"Huh?" Jiang Hongdou came back to his senses and blinked: "What is the mourning and the change?"

"Uh, it means that people cannot be resurrected after death. We should suppress excessive grief and adapt to the accident."

"Oh." The explanation was very clear, Jiang Hongdou was stunned for a while and said with a smile:

"Are you comforting me? I'm fine. Death is a very common thing. Just try to live."

"Eh?......"

Ji Cheng was stunned by the girl's words, is this something she can say at her age?

But then I thought about it again, and I was relieved.

Don't look at her young age, but living in this era, life and death are definitely more experienced than her own, but she doesn't need him to comfort her.

The crackling of the campfire grew quieter.

The two hugged each other, and they were intimate for a while before, the time passed quickly unknowingly, and then they talked for a while, and it passed even faster, the fire was almost extinguished.

Jiang Hongdou nudged Ji Cheng, wanting to get up and continue.

Ji Cheng didn't let go, he hugged her tightly to feel the softness: "You are very tired, go to sleep, don't worry about the fire, just put it out when it goes out."

"Ah? Not good?"

"It's okay, it will be dawn soon, the old flame has completed its mission, and in the new day, a new flame will always be born.

Don't forget, today I have time to go upstream to get hematite ore, and I can use the stone to strike fire to get Mars, and the success rate of ignition will be very high.

Therefore, instead of continuing to get angry, both of us have to take a good rest and recover quickly. This is the most important thing. "

"Oh... that's right." Jiang Hongdou nodded, thinking it made sense, then retracted into Ji Cheng's arms, raised her head and kissed his lips.

"Then go to bed, I'm sleepy, um...can you take that off? It's uncomfortable."

"..."

Ji Cheng was a little embarrassed: "I'm not feeling well either."

"Ok?"

"So...we can sleep well when we are all comfortable, and sleep more soundly."

......

......

January 1, the first year of civilization.

Around 9 am.

The two woke up one after another, got up and stretched, breathing the pure oxygen of nature.

Getting up at this time is quite late for now.

There is no way, I have achieved good things before, and I am tired and tired, sleepy and sleepy, and sleep deeply.

Jiang Hongdou tidied up the messy 'bed', looked back at Ji Cheng with love, but also some worries:

"Will we have children?"

"There will be, but not now."

Ji Cheng patted her head and smiled, "Don't worry, last night was safe."

The girl's knowledge in this area is very backward. This is too normal and needs to be appeased.

With such difficult conditions now, Ji Cheng certainly would not choose to have another child.

And human pleasures have long since flourished beyond the most primitive instincts.

As long as you avoid the combination of ding-dong, it will do whatever you want, and nothing will happen.

After a simple science popularization, Jiang Hongdou heaved a sigh of relief and nodded:

"That's good, since it's fine, it's really good~ After we got comfortable, we did sleep better!"

The girl's words were still very straightforward, but Ji Cheng, the newlywed husband, felt a little shy when he said it this way.

While moving his body, he adjusted his mentality and said silently: they are already husband and wife, then he turned around and kissed the girl 'naturally'.

"Well... rest well, rest well, I feel great now.

Well, bring your belongings, we are ready to go! "

"Huh?" Jiang Hongdou, who had just cleaned up the 'bed', was startled when she heard this, and was keenly aware of Ji Cheng's intentions.

"Are we leaving here?"

"Yes, we have to choose another camp in the forest."

When it came to business, Ji Cheng became more serious, nodded and said, "Today's plan is probably like this.

Hunt a few birds on the road first, and when you reach the upper reaches and find the hematite you mentioned, you will start a bonfire and have breakfast and lunch.

After that, we will build a new camp and work hard for our real home, base and stronghold for future development.

During the time on the road, let's discuss the location of the new camp.

Combine your experience with my knowledge. "

"Oh, good." Jiang Hongdou trusted Ji Cheng, nodded slightly, and ran to tidy up their belongings.

The two were poor and had nothing.

A longer cord, and a shorter cord from the firebow.

Four or five sticks of charcoal, two strings of shells, some leftover bird bones, some long feathers, some unused fluff and bird oil.

The collected flints were discarded because they could be picked up at any time on the road today, and they had not had time to be polished into stone axes and knives anyway.

Plus some tidied rattan, soft branches and the like, and a 'quilt' that can barely be covered, all of these are packed and put into the shoulder pole, which only fits a small half of the space of one of the frames.

After doing this, Jiang Hongdou clapped her hands, then looked around the crude camp, her eyes fell on the collapsed kang, but still allowed the two of them to sleep for a night, feeling a little bit reluctant.

"It's a waste, this one can't be taken away."

"..."

A super diligent and thrifty housekeeping girl has been developed.

Ji Cheng patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, it has also fulfilled its mission, and it won't be able to burn it if you want to burn it below, we will have a better one."

"Yes! There will be better ones." Jiang Hongdou replied, without wasting any time, turned around and set off with Ji Cheng.

"Actually, I guessed one thing. Since you decided not to migrate and live for a long time, this place is really not very suitable. It is just a transit point for the clansmen."

"Yes."

The discussion began. Ji Cheng carried the pole on one shoulder and held the girl in one hand. After thinking for a while, he said as he walked:

"My knowledge of camping in the wild is roughly like this——

1. It should be close to the water source for easy access to water.

2. Be leeward, keep warm and quiet, and sleep better.

3 Avoid dangerous places, that is, places where there are prone to rolling stones, weathered rocks, mudslides, or places that are easy to be struck by lightning.

4. There must be sufficient sunshine to keep the camp warm, dry and clean.

5. The ground should be flat, which is good for camping and resting, and the terrain should be higher. The high place is warmer than the ground at night, and the high place can look out, and it also has the function of a natural barrier.

6 Keep away from poles and wires, well, this can be ignored. "

"It's so comprehensive!..." After hearing what Ji Cheng said, Jiang Hongdou clicked his tongue, then thought for a while and said:

"Well, but my experience can still help, you can listen to me again."

Chapter 18 Saying Goodbye to Caretaker Tinder's Past

"I agree with what you said about being close to the water source.

If it is close to the water source, it will be very convenient to get water, whether it is washing water or drinking water for cooking soup.

However, it is only for now. "

Jiang Hongdou paused, looked at Ji Cheng and asked, "We will be stationed for a long time, how long is this long term?"

"In terms of years, year after year, if possible, this is the permanent base, and the development is to expand around."

Ji Cheng replied.

Jiang Hongdou nodded and said: "Then you can't be completely close to the water source.

You have to know that after about a year, if the Big Wood Clan still exists, they will come back, because there will be prey again.

And the prey will come to this freshwater river to drink, and then the predators will follow.

The big wood clan, and the beasts that we can't handle alone, will frequently appear by the river, which is very dangerous. "

"Well......"

Think about it, indeed.

Sure enough, the girl's experience is also very important.

Ji Cheng thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "Well, I know this, is there any more?"

"Also, based on this, I would like to add that we need to guard against beasts."

Jiang Hongdou said: "In Kanchen Forest, although there are very few people running on the ground now, it's not like there are none.

Among them are some terrifying creatures that the Big Wood Clan should avoid provoking.
