Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 155 Happy New Year!

It didn't completely shatter into two halves, but a small crack appeared in the middle of the originally smooth mirror surface, affecting the overall appearance.

Panic was visibly visible on Nan's face.

He was almost in a very sorry state, scrambling to his feet and holding the transparent lens in his hands, looking somewhat lost.

“I didn’t mean to… I…” Nan’s voice was full of frustration, “I’ve tried so hard to protect it.”

Jiang Luoluo's gaze fell on Nan's arm, which was covered in bloodstains.

Chi's actions were very measured; the force she used was sufficient to ensure that the children wouldn't get hurt while rolling on the ground. The other children only had some dirt stuck to their bodies, which they could easily brush off and were fine.

The reason Nan's arm was covered in abrasions was because he didn't roll the transparent lens with Chi's force in order to protect it, which caused his injury.

Jiang Luoluo wouldn't blame Nan for breaking the transparent lens. After all, Nan had done his best to protect it, and he wasn't the one who really made a mistake.

It certainly won't be red.

But similarly, the blame cannot be placed on the other children.

"Thank you." Jiang Luoluo walked to Nan's side and gently patted the dust off his clothes. "You did your best to protect the lenses."

Then she smiled slightly at Nan.

"You're injured, let me help you wash it."

Although the tribespeople have strong recovery abilities, if the wounds contain dirt and sand and are not cleaned properly, they are prone to leaving scars.

Some people don't care, but others don't like scars.

Jiang Luoluo was mainly concerned about health; wounds are always prone to infection if they are not cleaned properly, especially for children.

Nan stared blankly at Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo not only didn't check the broken transparent lens first, but also thanked him, saying that he had tried his best to protect the transparent lens.

She even took out her own small water cup, poured out the clean water, and used it to rinse his wound.

If blamed, Nan will admit it's her fault and feel that she didn't do a good job, but she won't feel wronged.

However, Jiang Luoluo not only did not blame him, but also thanked him and treated his wounds.

Being cared for so much, Nan felt a lump in her throat for some reason. She tilted her head back and looked up at the sky, trying to hold back the tears. Her voice was heavy with emotion.

"No...you're welcome!"

Jiang Luoluo found it somewhat amusing, and then took out a clean piece of linen from her waist bag, which she used as a handkerchief, and gently wiped the water off Nan's arms.

In just a short time, I discovered that the wound had stopped bleeding and was slowly healing.

Jiang Luoluo once again marveled at the physical condition of the tribespeople.

After dealing with these issues, Jiang Luoluo took the cracked transparent lens from Nan's hand and reassured her, "It's okay, it's not completely broken, you can still use it to see."

Nan pursed her lips, remaining silent for a long time. Finally, she suddenly took the transparent lens from Jiang Luoluo's hand, saying, "I will return a new lens to you!"

With that, Nan turned and ran away.

The other children looked at Jiang Luoluo, then at Nan who had run far away, then at Chi, and then at Wu, whose face was dark inside the wooden house.

"Wait for us, Nan!"...

They swarmed after it, but it ran away and disappeared.

"Luo, did I do something wrong?" Chi scratched her head, after all, she was the one who brought these children over.

Jiang Luolu shook her head, then, remembering that Chi couldn't see clearly, she went over and grabbed Chi's arm, shaking it. "No, Chi."

Jiang Luoluo knew that Chi was simply excited because it was the first time he could see things clearly, and he didn't know what to do. His eagerness to vent his excitement led to this incident.

The blame shouldn't be placed on Aka.

Back inside the cabin, the shaman had almost tidied up the mess. Jiang Luoluo stepped forward to help, picking up the last few herbs that had fallen to the ground.

"Honestly, he's just like his father. When he gets emotional, he doesn't care where he is at all." Wu shook his head.

Actually, Nan didn't do many unpleasant things to him. Most of the time, he was still traumatized by the "psychological shadow" that he had grown up with Chief Jing.

It was only in the last ten years or so that Chief Jing, having grown up and started a family with children, became more mature and stable.

In earlier years, the trouble caused by Chief Jing was far more outrageous than anything Nan had done.

Before the shaman was officially a shaman, Chief Jing had led him to cause a ruckus at the previous shaman's hut more than once or twice. The two of them had repaired the hut for the previous shaman countless times.

Being forced to turn over the soil and replant herbs in the previous shaman's herb field in the middle of the night was a common occurrence.

Rather than saying that the witch's face darkened because she saw the children, it was actually because she was recalling her own dark history of being led astray by the chieftain Jing every day.

No, he didn't do anything wrong at all; he was just implicated by Chief Jing!

The witch was very worried that she would become like the previous witch, who was constantly infuriated.

Chi followed honestly behind the cub, not daring to show anything in front of the witch anymore. She probably realized that Nan and the other children were all brought by her.

Jiang Luoluo continued working on the unfinished wolf's tail grass, and the witch called out to Chi.

"red."

Chi walked over dejectedly, expecting to be reprimanded by the witch.

Unexpectedly, Wu simply picked up another intact transparent lens from the table and placed it in Chi's hand.

"take it."

Chi paused for a moment, a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in his voice, and asked, "Huh? You're letting me use it? Witch, aren't you going to use it?"

Wu looked up at Chi and said, "I don't need it, and whether I give it to you or not is not up to me. You should see if Luo wants to continue giving it to you."

Chi turned his head expectantly back to look at Jiang Luoluo, "Luo..."

Jiang Luoluo smiled and nodded, "You can take it and use it. You can use the glasses after they are made."

Chi nodded vigorously, carefully cradling the transparent lens in his arms, and walked towards Jiang Luoluo with an undisguised smile.

"Luo, what are you doing? Let me help you."

The task that was already left to be completed was finished quickly with Aka's help.

Jiang Luoluo wanted to pick up where she left off and talk to Wu about it, but seeing that Wu's face was still dark from the earlier incident, she felt that it might not be the right time.

Just as she hesitated whether to speak, the shaman suddenly waved his hand at her, "There are many more wolf tail grasses behind the house. I'll have Chi fetch some for you later."

Jiang Luoluo looked up at Wu with some surprise.

The witch's expression softened considerably, and her demeanor became gentler. "You must have thought of something again. Now that you have, go ahead and do it. Give it a try, even if you fail in the end, it doesn't matter."

"Don't be shy about asking me. If you can really make the foxtail grass taste even better, they will be even more grateful to you, Luo."

What does "thank you" mean? Jiang Luoluo hadn't figured out what Wu meant yet, but Chi, who was next to her, had already heard the words.

Chi looked at Wu with disbelief and asked, "Luo, are you going to make wolf's tail grass into food?"

Chi Meng shook his head, "No, no, wolf's tail grass is too hard to eat. Only people who can't eat meat because they have no teeth would eat grass."

Unpalatable? Jiang Luoluo grasped the key point: So, the reason why foxtail grass wasn't used as a staple food was because it didn't taste good?

Hmm... how bad could it be? She tried it.

The shaman glanced at the cub's expression but didn't say anything. Chi was directed to go behind the wooden house to retrieve the wolf's tail, and along the way, he kept trying to persuade Jiang Luoluo.

"Luo, foxtail grass really tastes terrible, you have to believe me."

Finally, in an attempt to persuade Jiang Luoluo, Chi didn't hesitate to reveal his own dark past, telling the story of how he used to steal and eat wolf's tail grass when he was a child.

At first, Chi was tricked into eating wolf's tail grass by those tribesmen who were older than her, but Chi always thought that those tribesmen had done something to make the wolf's tail grass taste so bad.

Later, she didn't believe it and went to steal some again... and then she believed it, because foxtail grass really is hard to eat.

So much so that when Chi looks at Jiang Luoluo now, she feels a lot like she's looking at herself back then. However, unlike the other members of her clan, she doesn't have the same malicious intent as them, wanting to see Jiang Luoluo suffer a setback. So she is wholeheartedly trying to persuade Jiang Luoluo not to do anything foolish.

Of course, if it weren't Jiang Luoluo here, but Nan or another child, Chi's actions would be uncertain.

Jiang Luoluo patted Chi's arm reassuringly, "Don't worry, I just have some things I want to try."

Jiang Luoluo smiled, "Just like wild rabbits, weren't they not very tasty before?"

Chi thought about it and realized that was indeed the case, but perhaps the psychological trauma left by the wolf tail grass was too great, so even though she trusted Jiang Luoluo completely, she still couldn't help but worry.

“Then, Luo, don’t eat by yourself first… I, I’ll help you eat!” Chi made a major decision.

Jiang Luoluo looked at Chi's expression and couldn't help but smile. Judging from Chi's reaction, she was indeed very wary of wolf tail grass, but even so, she was still willing to make such a choice for her.

Jiang Luoluo was deeply moved.

When Jiang Luoluo reached the back of the wooden house, she was completely shocked. She thought that there was only a small amount of foxtail grass, but she did not expect that a large area of ​​open space was actually piled up with foxtail grass, even reaching the height of a small mountain.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Since it's food meant to be a supplementary food for the elderly members of the clan, how could it only be enough for one or two meals? It must be a lot more.

Moreover, Chi's experience proves this point. If there weren't enough wolf's tail grass, how could any of his tribesmen have encouraged Chi to "steal" the wolf's tail grass, and they would have been too busy preventing him from touching it?

"Luo, how much do you want?" Chi Zui said he didn't want Jiang Luoluo to try, but when it came to actually doing the work, he was quite decisive.

"That's all." Jiang Luoluo didn't take too much, but she didn't take too little either. After all, there were quite a few things to try, so she needed to have enough.

After the two returned to the shaman's wooden house with the wolf tail grass, Chief Jing had already returned with his men, carrying two Wind Chasing Weasels.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to find another one after we went over there." Chief Jing laughed and handed the two Wind Chasing Weasels to Wu.

With these two Wind Chaser Weasels, the tribe will no longer need to hunt them specifically until at least the Lesser Beast Season.

Jiang Luoluo held a handful of wolf tail grass and looked behind Chief Jing. She could only see Ge and a few other tribesmen, which was more than half the number of the twenty-odd people who had gone out.

Chief Jing also saw Jiang Luoluo, who had just returned. Seeing that the cub Luoluo's gaze lingered on them, he was in a particularly good mood and explained, "Is Luoluo looking for the others? They stayed behind to hunt. They went out for a while and only brought back two Wind Chasing Weasels. They also felt that they were not satisfied."

"However, I brought Ge back for you."

Ge smiled and stepped forward to take the wolf tail grass from Jiang Luoluo's hand, then looked at the wolf tail grass that Chi was also holding in his arms.

Without a doubt, Ge guessed that this was probably another new idea from the cub Luo, otherwise the shaman wouldn't have asked the cub Luo to go to the back to move some wolf tail grass.

How much can a cub with such tiny arms hold?

“I’ll do it…” Ge reached out to Chi.

Chi shook his head repeatedly, "I'll give these to Luo, you don't need to."

Ge didn't insist. He smiled good-naturedly, holding the small amount of wolf's tail grass in Jiang Luoluo's arms, and freed one arm to hold Jiang Luoluo's hand.

Chief Jing was still there, boasting to the shaman about how easy the hunt had been, and he took out the telescope that Jiang Luoluo had used before.

"...Let me tell you, even from that far away, I could clearly see which way the Wind Chaser Weasel ran..."

Wu had seen the magnifying effect of the transparent lens, but had never seen the function of the telescope. He was surprised to take it and look into the distance, only to find that this thing was so powerful.

Chief Jing was still smugly waiting for Wu to say something in a shocked tone when he saw Wu calmly raise his head, his expression thoughtful.

"This was made using the transparent lenses that Luo made, wasn't it?"

Chief Jing nodded, "Yes, thanks to Luo..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu interrupted him.

"Oh, I just came from the south and it seems I cracked a piece of this transparent lens."

The leader's smile froze on his face. "Nan!"

Chief Jing angrily snatched the binoculars from Wu's hand, carefully stuffed them into his pocket, turned and left, his target his own home.

A faint smile appeared on Wu's face. He had grown up with Chief Jing, so how could he not know what Chief Jing was up to?

Jiang Luoluo was about to call out to Chief Jing to explain that the problem wasn't serious and it wasn't Nan's fault, as he had tried his best to protect him.

Unexpectedly, the witch suddenly called out to her, "Luo."

Jiang Luoluo subconsciously replied, "I'm here," and then looked back at Chief Jing, just as he was about to leave, unable to call out to him.

Wu smiled and said, "It's alright, you've got everything, you can go home now."

Jiang Luoluo looked at the smile on Wu's face and was surprised to find that he was deliberately preventing her from calling out to Chief Jing!

The witch deliberately wanted Nan to get beaten up!

Wait, isn't the witch supposed to be gentle? Why is it black when you cut it open?!
