Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 239 Gradually Getting Used to It

“Then we…” Jiang Luoluo looked at Ge blankly.

They just stayed in the cave. Didn't they need to do something?

Shouldn't we go to a shelter or something to hide in? What if a wild animal sneaks into a cave?

No, Jiang Luoluo remembered that the temperature outside had dropped a lot in the past two days. Even when she was dressed properly, Ge refused to take her out anymore, because he was worried that she would get frostbite or get sick from being outside.

Therefore, if a wild animal approaches, children are only in some danger with the protection of their parents. However, if they are frightened by the wild animal and run out of the cave to find a place to hide, they will most likely freeze to death.

So, it might be safer to face wild animals during the snowy season.

“If we are needed, there will be a signal. If there is no signal, it means the problem is not too serious and others can handle it.” Ge gently patted Jiang Luoluo’s head.

Although her consciousness is more mature than that of ordinary children, Jiang Luoluo comes from an overly peaceful and safe world, so her reaction to such things is not as good as that of ordinary children.

At least for them, everything they are experiencing now is something they have been used to growing up.

The roaring continued for half a day before disappearing. No whistles were heard during this time, and Ge calmly sat with Jiang Luoluo on the heated kang.

However, he was also sharpening his weapon, a spear, as if he were ready to go out at any moment.

Rather than staying in the cave out of concern for Jiang Luoluo, a better option would be to behead all the wild beasts before they even reached the cave.

Hearing that it was quiet outside again, Jiang Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense emotions finally relaxed.

Looking at Ge, she asked somewhat nervously, "Ge, is it over?"

Ge added some more wood to the kang (heated brick bed) to make it even warmer. Hearing this, he looked up at Jiang Luoluo for a while before nodding gently, "It's over, Luoluo, rest now."

"Don't worry, don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

Jiang Luoluo lay on the warm kang (heated brick bed) and fell asleep without realizing it.

She thought the matter was over, but was awakened by the roars of wild beasts.

When Jiang Luoluo woke up, Ge was cooking rice by the fire. The aroma of the food filled the entire cave, but it did not bring her any sense of security.

"Isn't the war over already?" Jiang Luoluo asked in confusion, draped in her small animal skin blanket, and sat down next to the fire.

Ge stirred the hot soup gently in the stone pot, then ladled it into a wooden bowl and handed it to Jiang Luoluo. He seemed to have thought for a long time before answering.

"The last wave of attacks has indeed ended."

Jiang Luoluo paused as she took the soup bowl.

The previous wave? Yes, she finally realized what was causing her vague unease.

Who said that only one wave of beasts attacks the tribe?

There are more than just a few wild beasts in the Taz Forest that lack food.

Over the next month...

Until the snow season ends and the snow melts outside, the wild beasts that hibernated begin to emerge, and the supply relationships in the Taz Forest return to normal.

Only then will the tribe truly return to its previous peace and stability.

Perhaps not...

"Luo, there's no need to be too scared," Ge comforted Jiang Luoluo.

"Their target is the back mountain; they rarely come to the front mountain."

The back mountain is filled with the carcasses of wild animals, and the strong smell cannot be hidden from those animals with a keen sense of smell. They will make the back mountain their primary target for attack.

until……

Only after they suffer too many defeats in the back mountains and repeatedly fail will they begin to try to sneak up to the front mountains and attack inhabited caves or wooden houses, using the tribesmen as prey.

Ultimately, when it comes to the quantity of food, filling one's stomach is more important than the quantity.

Jiang Luoluo went from being worried and unable to sleep soundly at first, but she gradually got used to it and began to relax. She could even use the occasional roars of wild beasts as background music to fall asleep.

Occasionally, Ge would go out. At first, Jiang Luoluo was worried that Ge was going to fight those wild beasts, but when she found that Ge was just going out to get some food and firewood, she was relieved.

But Jiang Luoluo also knew that this was just her way of comforting herself.

Even if it wasn't Ge, the other tribesmen were also in a state of combat, making it difficult to guarantee their safety.

She only prayed that the person she was fighting wouldn't be Ge, because she was closest to him.

Kogo cannot avoid it. He is a highly regarded genius warrior in the tribe, and his future may involve a heavy responsibility similar to that of Chief Jing. He cannot hide in a safe cave and wait for all the dangers to pass.

So, on an ordinary night, a sharp whistle rang out from the mountaintop, and Ge, carrying his stone spear, stepped out of the cave.

Mao quickly arrived from next door.

Jiang Luoluo asked about the meaning of the whistle earlier, and Mao said it meant that each family had to send one member to fight. In his family, it was his father, Ke, who went.

Because Mao is still too young, he has only learned a little bit of combat skills and only knows a portion of the beasts, so he cannot yet fully utilize his strength.

However, Mao was not too disappointed, because Ge and Ke gave him another task—to protect Luo.

Jiang Luoluo was clearly nervous and worried, so Mao explained the differences between the various whistles. For example, the long, sharp whistle was meant to prepare each family to allocate half of their manpower to protect the safety of the tribe.

If it's a very urgent whistle, it's telling all the tribespeople that no matter where they are or what they're doing, as long as they still have the ability to fight, they should immediately go to the battleground and join the fight.

Mao said that if they heard such a whistle, it meant that the tribe was at a critical moment of life and death, and even a beastman warrior like him who had just awakened his beast form would have to pick up his weapon and charge forward.

Jiang Luoluo asked with some curiosity, "Then, Mao, have you ever heard this kind of whistle sound before?"

Mao paused for a moment, then shook his head. "No, I only heard my father tell me about it."

After thinking for a moment, Mao said sincerely, "If I had heard that, I probably wouldn't have grown this big."

After all, in such a dangerous situation, the chances of a child who hasn't grown up surviving are very low.

Attacks from wild beasts in the Taz Forest don't happen every day. Those beasts possess a certain level of intelligence; they know how to gather information, observe the situation, and wait for the right opportunity.

So Ge went home to rest twice during the journey. Once he fell asleep immediately and looked extremely tired. The other time he went home, he had a new scar on his body.

Although it had fully healed by the second night, leaving only a scar that was slowly fading away.

Jiang Luoluo still felt extremely distressed watching it.
