Zhou Ji pulled back his hand that was held by the priest without hesitation: "I don't want to."
priest:"……"
The priest was a little unwilling: "Why?"
Why else? Of course I don’t want to dance and sing.
What's more... being a priest in such a small tribe is actually not easy.
The priests do not need to hunt or gather. The best part of the food caught by the hunting team will be given to the priests. It seems good, but in fact, the priests are very busy.
Whenever the people in the tribe encountered problems that they could not solve by themselves, they would all go to the priest. The priest was also responsible for many affairs of the tribe, and even had to manage farming. The people of the Big Bear tribe had not yet learned systematic farming, but they already knew some simple planting methods, such as scattering some seeds around the tribe, planting some edible grasses around the tribe, and then asking the people in the tribe not to pick them all.
In short, if someone is sick, they go to the priest; if a child awakens, they go to the priest; if someone dies, they go to the priest; even if someone is about to give birth, they will go to the priest to watch over them or even help with the delivery.
The priest is so busy that he cannot leave the tribe.
Zhou Ji didn't want to find so many things to do at all.
Haven’t you had enough of the days in the apocalypse where you can’t even get a good night’s sleep? Why do you want to take on things?
"I'm lazy." Zhou Ji said.
Priest: “…” He thought of many possibilities, but he didn’t think of this one!
Zhou Ji was unwilling to be a priest because he was lazy!
The corners of the priest's mouth twitched, and he felt a little distressed: "You have been blessed by the Beast God and have finally become smart, but you are unwilling to work because of laziness. How are you going to live in the future?"
"Ximono raised me." Zhou Ji smiled.
The priest wanted to drive Zhou Ji out.
Zhou Ji said seriously: "Grandpa Priest, I just want to be with Xiong Ye and live a quiet life. I don't want to care about too many things."
The priest looked at Zhou Ji, and Zhou Ji said, "I did receive a gift from the Beast God. After my mother died, I suddenly understood a lot of things. I am willing to contribute to the tribe, but I don't want to be a priest."
"What do you understand?" The priest's face was excited.
Zhou Ji said: "For example, the effect of senna leaves and the effect of tranquilizing grass. When I saw these plants, I inexplicably knew their effects."
The priest looked at Zhou Ji inquiringly. It was a bit abnormal that Zhou Ji suddenly got better and even became so smart.
The people in the tribe had little contact with the previous Zhou Ji, nor were they familiar with the current Zhou Ji. They did not understand Zhou Ji and accepted this as a matter of course. However, the priest who had treated the previous Zhou Ji knew that there were many strange things about Zhou Ji.
But he also saw that Zhou Ji had no ill will towards the people in the tribe and was also very kind to Xiong Ye.
Yesterday, Zhou Ji even formed a partnership with Kumano under the witness of the Beast God and the Fire Flower, and his condition suddenly improved at the Beast God Festival.
He was willing to believe Zhou Ji, so he wanted Zhou Ji to be a priest, but Zhou Ji was unwilling...
The priest frowned, but after a while, he relaxed his brows: "It's up to you..." He just didn't believe that he couldn't find someone to take over!
"Thank you." Zhou Ji said.
The priest then said: "Since you have received the gift from the Beast God, tell me about it!"
Zhou Ji met the priest's eyes full of curiosity.
He felt like he had gotten himself into trouble.
Xiongye went to the river again. After all, fish were easy to catch, and Zhou Ji quite liked eating fish.
Not only that, sometimes you will encounter other prey by the river.
Walking along the river to a place farther away from the tribe, Kumano harvested seven or eight fish and caught a snake.
He also saw frogs and other animals, but none of them were big, so he didn't catch any.
Kumano plans to go back. Such a harvest was not enough for his meal, but since Zhou Ji ate less, it was enough. Most importantly, he was anxious to go back and accompany Zhou Ji.
Today is their first day as a couple! We'll be intimate at night!
Xiongye killed and cleaned all the prey and returned to the tribe happily. Then he found Zhou Ji was still with the priest. Not only that, when he wanted to take Zhou Ji away, the priest refused to let him go.
Xiong Ye: "Grandpa Priest! Zhou Ji is hungry!"
"Yes, I'm hungry." Zhou Ji said.
The priest looked at Kumano with a face full of condemnation. How good was Kumano before, he was especially respectful to him, but now he is completely loyal to Zhou Ji!
The priest could only say: "Zhou Ji, come back after you have eaten."
"It will be dark after dinner." said Kumano.
"Then come back tomorrow." The priest could only say.
Zhou Ji thought about it and finally agreed.
In the apocalypse, because he possessed plant powers, he read a lot of books on plants and was very familiar with the various plants on Earth, but many of the plants in this place were not found on Earth.
For example, the flame flower, and the unknown fruit that he accidentally ate.
Today, he explained to the priest the uses of some plants, but in the same way, the priest also explained to him the uses of some plants.
This world is really magical, even Zhou Ji became curious.
It was obvious that he had no curiosity before.
The fish that Xiong Ye caught that day was bigger, not the size of a palm like before. Zhou Ji cut it into several pieces, fried it in oil, then boiled it in water. After adding water, he also put in the pickles that he had pickled with a little salt a few days ago.
He thought about making pickles, but because there was not enough salt he couldn't make much, but he made a little. The pickles were only pickled for a few days, but they already had some of the flavor of pickles. After being put into the fish soup and cooked for a while, the fish soup seemed particularly delicious.
Of course he felt this way, probably because he hadn't eaten well for a long time...
Zhou Ji divided the pot of fish soup into two parts, half for himself and half for Xiong Ye.
He was used to picking out all the fish bones when eating fish, but Kumano was the opposite. Except for the larger fish bones, he would chew and swallow the small fish bones.
After dividing the fish, Zhou Ji ate slowly.
Xiong Ye was afraid that Zhou Ji would not be full, so after Zhou Ji gave him the fish, he did not rush to eat. Instead, he looked at Zhou Ji. Now, seeing Zhou Ji picking out even such a small fish bone, he felt distressed.
Zhou Ji is too weak!
Xiong Ye picked out all the boneless meat from the fish belly in his bowl and gave it to Zhou Ji. He also gave Zhou Ji some boneless snake meat: "Eat more."
Zhou Ji looked up at Kumano, smiled, and ate all the meat that Kumano gave him.
Such a small amount of food was definitely not enough for Kumano, so after eating the delicious fish soup, he ate a piece of grilled meat.
Xiong Ye has always thought that meat is the most delicious thing in the world, and he can never get tired of eating it. But now that he has eaten fish soup and then eaten meat, he feels that the taste of meat is not so good...
Kumano felt that what he was doing was a bit inappropriate. Making fish soup like this every day was really a lot of time and firewood.
But when he saw Zhou Ji, he felt that it was his duty to let Zhou Ji live a better life.
Zhou Ji is his partner, he should take good care of him!
Zhou Ji didn't know what image he had in Xiong Ye's eyes. After dinner, he said to Xiong Ye: "Let's go to sleep."
The cave where Kumano had lived before was dirty because he had slept there a few days ago after he fell ill, but the cave where he slept was very clean.
Originally, they were supposed to sleep in this cave on their wedding night, but Xiong Ye turned into a beast and fell asleep outside, so he didn't sleep all night...
Zhou Ji opened the animal skin curtain he made and lay down on the animal skin mat inside. He waved to Xiong Ye, "Come here quickly."
Xiong Ye immediately went over and hugged Zhou Ji: "Zhou Ji, I want it." As he said that, he took Zhou Ji's hand and placed it under his belly.
Zhou Ji: “…” You just came in the morning and you want it again in the evening? You feel so good! And as expected of a primitive man, he is very direct!
Kumano has great energy! Zhou Ji helped him again, and was hugged and kissed many times by him. After finishing, Xiong Ye asked: "Do you want help?"
Zhou Ji wanted to say no, but in the end he said "yes" for some unknown reason.
And Kumano was not one to hesitate and helped directly.
…
Kumano's technique is really poor, and the strength of his hands is not light or strong enough!
Zhou Ji felt that he should give him more opportunities to learn.
It's good for two people to be together like this.
After Xiong Ye fell asleep, Zhou Ji gave him some energy as usual. The next day, he got up early and made breakfast as usual.
He found that after eating the fruit, he no longer needed sleep...the fruit was really powerful.
When Kumano went hunting, he went to the priest.
The priest was very dedicated in teaching Zhou Ji, and he was even more dedicated in digging out more knowledge from Zhou Ji.
He took Zhou Ji around the tribe every day to identify various herbs and edible plants, and he didn't want to have a moment of free time.
Zhou Ji was pestered by the priests every day and didn't even have time to go out alone.
After he ate the fruit, he wanted to go back and see the pond, but the priest pestered him too much and he had no time to go.
No, it’s not that he has no time at all. He can go out after Kumano falls asleep at night.
But he was too lazy to go out so late at night.
Finally, after a few days, Zhou Ji rejected the priest: "I want to sleep today."
"Sleeping is a waste of time in such nice weather." The priest said, "You should follow me and learn more knowledge."
Zhou Ji: "I have already learned all your knowledge."
Priest: “…” But I haven’t learned all your knowledge yet!
well! Why would the Beast God give such a precious gift to someone who only thinks about eating and sleeping all day?
"Let me have a good rest, maybe I can remember some more knowledge." Zhou Ji said.
"Sleep slowly and think slowly." The priest said immediately and went back to his cave to sleep.
He was actually quite tired after taking Zhou Ji everywhere these days. His old arms and legs couldn't take it anymore... He might as well go back to sleep and go find Zhou Ji tomorrow when he felt better.
After the priest left, Zhou Ji left the tribe and immediately ran towards the forest where many centipedes lived.
The forest was still the same, but also a little different - he was stronger now and could easily find the centipedes hidden underground. At the same time, a journey that would have taken several hours was completed in less than an hour.
The reason he walked so slowly was that he was learning to use his energy while on the road.
The pond that Zhou Ji visited last time still looked the same, except that a lot of flowers and plants were trampled in the last battle, and they haven't grown back yet.
At the same time, the originally rich energy here has completely disappeared, and the energy is even less than in other places...
As for the centipede...that giant centipede still lives in that crevice, but Zhou Ji didn't see any other centipedes.
Zhou Ji came here this time to study why that kind of plant grew here. However, before he could finish his study, he saw the giant centipede crawling out from the crevice of the rock and running towards him aggressively.
Zhou Ji transformed into a beast without thinking, intending to kick the centipede away.
Wait…why did his beast form suddenly become so big? !
