Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 132 The Restless Tribal People

The sacrificial ceremony lasted a long time, and after the dance and singing, it was time for the familiar buffet feast that Jiang Luoluo was familiar with.

Jiang Luoluo was initially puzzled as to why so much food was prepared, but seeing so many red wolf cubs eating made everything clear.

The whole prey, enough to feed dozens or even hundreds of people, was nothing more than food for a small red wolf.

Twenty-eight red wolf cubs ate up enough food for more than two thousand people in the village for several days.

The remaining meat became the food for the final bonfire feast of the sacrificial ceremony.

Jiang Luoluo originally thought that eating would be a bit troublesome, but in reality, it didn't have much of an impact. Rather than actually missing a piece of meat in her throat, it was more of a conceptual "absence".

Jiang Luoluo could feel something being peeled out of her throat, but when she touched it, she didn't feel that any parts were missing.

That's true. After all, the witch didn't cut out a specific piece of flesh from Jiang Luoluo's throat. Instead, she squeezed the parts containing the fire poison together from a certain area, similar to squeezing a pimple, and then peeled them off.

Jiang Luoluo didn't remember how she got home. She was probably too tired after eating so much that she fell asleep in Ge's arms.

When I woke up the next morning, I was already at home.

It's probably like the Lunar New Year. The day after the holiday is always so lazy that you don't want to move, but there are always things like "visiting relatives" that force you to get moving.

Jiang Luoluo is the same.

I thought it would be a day off where I could laze around at home all day and do nothing, but in the morning, Ge had to go out hunting.

"Huh?" Jiang Luoluo made a sound, puzzled.

Ge smiled and lowered his head to stroke the cub's slightly frizzy hair—when he came back last night, the cub was already asleep, and Ge didn't know to take its hair down. He just thought it wouldn't affect its sleep, so he didn't bother with it.

As a result, the cub's hair was all sticking up when it woke up in the morning, and it had been combing its reflection in the basin for ages.

No, you need a comb. Jiang Luoluo was at a loss with her hair, so she complained about not having any tools. Actually, it was just that the hair of the tribe people was too hard, and the hair that fell out was so strong that it could be used as a rope.

"I'll go find Cong in a bit!" Jiang Luoluo blamed the tools for the problem, feeling completely relieved.

"We ate so much food during the sacrificial ceremony, so we need to replenish it promptly. This way, the tribe won't go hungry during the snowy season," Ge explained.

"By the way, Luo, Wu wants you to come to his place after you wake up. Do you want me to take you there?"

Jiang Luolu blinked, guessing that Wu had called her over because of "medical after-sales service," but seeing that Ge looked like he was about to leave, she shook her head.

She can only utter one word at a time now, and most of the sounds are breathy, so she still uses the same gestures as before.

I'm going to find Mao!

"Mao won't do," Ge shook his head.

Jiang Luoluo was stunned for a moment before she remembered that yesterday, Mao had become a new orc warrior and was no longer the little kid who had nothing to do every day and could skip class at will.

"Mao will be learning hunting with the locals for a while, so he won't be able to play with Luo for a long time."

“Uh…” Jiang Luoluo scratched her head and started thinking. Just as she was about to nod and agree to let Ge take her up the mountain, a series of unusual footsteps came from outside the cave.

"Luo." Xing's voice rang out, and her figure entered the cave a second later.

Jiang Luoluo's eyes lit up, and she pointed at Xing and waved to Ge.

I can go up the mountain with Xing; you go hunting.

It wasn't that Jiang Luoluo wanted to send Ge away, but hunting was mostly done in groups, and if Ge escorted Jiang Luoluo up the mountain, at least half an hour would be wasted round trip.

Always being late and making your companions wait, especially during such an important and crucial time as the Great Beast Season, will definitely make the other members of your tribe uncomfortable.

Jiang Luoluo didn't want to make Ge and the other tribesmen feel uncomfortable because of her.

Perhaps Jiang Luoluo was overthinking things, but not troubling others and trying not to add burdens to others could already be considered a subconscious thought.

The result of being molded by a society based on personal connections.

Ge glanced at the wooden frame in Xing's hand, sensed the cub's thoughts, and could only nod in agreement, "Okay."

Ge then looked at Xing and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of Luo, Xing."

Although Xing didn't know what had happened, she readily nodded when it came to the cub Luo, "I will."

Ge left with some unease. As he stepped out of the cave, he saw a similarly uneasy figure outside—Ping.

The two exchanged a glance as a greeting and then went their separate ways.

Inside the cave, Xing skillfully sat down on the stone bed. Because of her leg problems, Xing could only sit on stone beds of suitable height, while low stools made of wooden stakes, like those used by Jiang Luoluo, were completely unsuitable for her.

"What are we going to do today, Luo?" Xing asked curiously.

“Witch…” Jiang Luoluo pointed towards the mountaintop.

Xing was a little unaccustomed to it. "The witch asked you to go up the mountain, right... Luo, you can really speak now, that's great."

As she spoke, Xing picked up her cane and got up to follow Jiang Luoluo up the mountain.

Jiang Luoluo quickly pressed Xing down, pointing to her legs, "You can rest for a while! After all, it's not a short walk from Xing's house."

Xing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Luo. I feel like I have a lot of strength in my legs lately!"

Like rehabilitation, the more Xing walks, the stronger she feels in her legs. Now, without crutches, she can walk a greater distance than before.

So now Xing has been wanting to travel all over Silver Peak Mountain, but Ping is worried about her and doesn't dare let her go so far and get tired. Reaching the young cub Luo's place every day is already her limit.

But if it's sending cubs to the mountaintop... I suppose Ping wouldn't say anything even if he knew, Xing thought.

Jiang Luoluo shook her head repeatedly, "No, I need to rest first! Excessive fatigue will not only fail to provide any good training results, but will also cause secondary damage."

Anyway, Wu wasn't in a hurry, otherwise she would have given a strict order for Ge to send her there by a certain time, instead of giving a vague answer. They could have waited for Xing to recover before going to the mountaintop.

Xing could not persuade the cub with her insistence, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, shall we make the hair ties now?"

Xing couldn't sit still. "I promised Zhuang yesterday that I would make him a hair tie similar to yours, Luo's."

Jiang Luoluo thought for a moment and figured that the time it would take to make a hair tie should be enough for Xing to rest, so she nodded, took out her tools from her shelf, and handed them to Xing.

Xingye took out some semi-finished dyed hemp ropes and small accessories from her person and began to work.
