Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 44 Mao... has a fever?

Having stayed on Little Rock Mountain for a while, Jiang Luoluo felt more and more free.

While the other children were training, Jiang Luoluo could wander around, as long as she didn't completely disappear from sight.

Most of the children on Little Stone Mountain ate Jiang Luoluo's jam and were also instructed by He to help keep an eye on Jiang Luoluo's location and situation.

Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Luoluo is not a real child, and she will not really run around randomly. Just the area around the top of the small rocky hill is enough for Jiang Luoluo to explore.

Xiaoshishan is next to the main mountain, Yinfengshan, so one side of it is completely hidden by the mountain wall of Yinfengshan. Some children will even have a competition to see who can climb the highest.

—That may be the reason why this cliff face has obvious signs of artificial carving, and it has been cut vertically and smoothly. Generally, no child can climb up to a height of more than ten meters.

However, the children clearly preferred the game. The more difficult the challenge, the more interested they became. There were many scratches on the straight mountain wall, all left by the children who climbed up with their stone knives, taking pride in surpassing the highest point.

Every child who breaks a record receives a standing ovation.

Jiang Luoluo naturally had no interest in such a dangerous and unprotected rock climbing activity, not to mention that it had rained in the morning and the rock was wet and very slippery.

She simply noticed a vine growing on the cliff face, quite different from ordinary vines, very long and thin, which might be used as material for fishing line... if it were tough enough.

Unfortunately, because the training ground is right next to the small rocky hill, the adults regularly clear away the vines and other plants in the bottom ten meters or so to prevent the children from climbing up the hill from the side.

Although the vines have grown downwards quite a distance due to the rain, they are still estimated to be about six or seven meters high.

Jiang Luoluo looked at her short legs and arms, then looked up at the long, thin vines high up... Okay, let's give up for now.

Let's try again when it stops raining... or, can we wait for them to grow down on their own?

You could also go back and ask the tribesmen. Some of them regularly clear away the vines that have grown to the bottom. Jiang Luoluo could just ask them for the ones that have been cleared away.

Jiang Luoluo praised herself for her cleverness, and when she turned around, she found Mao standing right behind her.

Jiang Luolu tilted her head and pointed behind Mao, indicating, "Don't you need to go to training?"

Looking at the cub's oblivious expression, Mao pointed to a circle of weeds that were much taller than Jiang Luoluo, "You won't be seen from here."

The cub was wearing her straw raincoat and standing in the weeds that were taller than her. In the blink of an eye, you couldn't find her anywhere.

Mao was the first to notice the problem. Seeing that the cub was wandering further and further into the remote area, he quickly caught up with it to prevent any accidents from happening to the cub.

Although the small rocky hill is safe, it doesn't mean there are no wild animals there. No matter how skilled the tribesmen are, they can only eliminate the large, easily spotted wild animals. Smaller, more secluded wild animals can only be left on the small rocky hill until they appear in front of people on their own.

However, since they have coexisted with the tribe for so long and usually don't go to places with a lot of human presence, accidents are rare.

Mao's real concern is that with all the recent rain, even the strongest human scent will be washed away by the rain, and those mindless wild animals, like snakes, might just crawl around everywhere.

The cubs are still small, and they could easily get hurt if they encounter them.

However, Mao did not disturb the cub, but simply stayed behind it. After all, the cub always seemed to have many ideas in its mind and could do many magical things, and Mao did not want to affect it.

The cub remained motionless for a long time, its eyes fixed on the vines high up on the mountainside. Even the slowest person could tell that the cub was fixated on those vines.

Mao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Luo, do you want those hook vines?"

Jiang Luoluo nodded. Hook vine? What a strange name.

"Then wait a moment." After saying that, Mao stepped past the cub that was still thinking about the name of the vine and strode towards the mountain wall.

Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened instantly, and she reached out to stop Mao. "Hey, no, wait a minute! I said I wanted it, but I didn't say I wanted it right now! I've already thought of a way to get it!"

However, Jiang Luoluo was still only a six-year-old child and couldn't keep up with Mao at all. After only a few steps, she had already created a distance of several meters.

Jiang Luoluo couldn't speak, so she could only stare wide-eyed at Mao in front of her, who quickly climbed up the mountainside.

Although it was slippery from the rain, this place was not the smooth, man-made cliff next to it. There were many points of leverage and many plants growing on the cliff face that could be used for gripping. The roots of these plants grew in the crevices of the cliff face and were extremely firm.

Jiang Luoluo was unsure whether to stay and wait or turn back to call for help to stop Mao. In the time it would take to explain and gesture to others, Mao might have already finished picking the vines and come down.

Just as Jiang Luoluo was caught in a dilemma, she suddenly noticed that Mao, who had just climbed two or three meters up, swayed slightly.

Just as Jiang Luoluo thought she was seeing things, Mao, who had stopped, suddenly fell off the mountainside.

Ignoring everything else, Jiang Luoluo quickly ran forward to check the situation.

Fortunately, Mao didn't climb too high, and there was a dense thicket of weeds underneath him. He only suffered some minor cuts from the grass, and his bones were mostly unharmed.

Huh? No major problems? Jiang Luolu blinked, only then realizing that this was a world where everyone had superhuman physical abilities, not the fragile world she had been in before.

Let alone a drop of only two or three meters, even if they fell from a height of seven or eight meters, or even ten meters, these children would at most suffer broken bones.

Wait a minute, why did Mao faint? Jiang Luoluo noticed something was wrong. Upon closer inspection, Mao wasn't actually unconscious; he just seemed a little disoriented.

"Huff, huff," Mao gasped for breath.

After Jiang Luoluo finished checking Mao's physical condition, looking at Mao's unusually rosy face and the hot breath he was exhaling while panting, a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

Could he be... suffering from a cold and fever?

Considering that Mao had said he overslept that morning, Jiang Luoluo's judgment was further confirmed.

Jiang Luoluo patted Mao's chest to comfort him, then immediately got up and ran back to find someone.
