Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 26 The Clever Little Girl

"What is this? Wow! It's so sweet! So delicious!" The little girl's eyes lit up instantly when she was unexpectedly fed a mouthful of jam.

Jiang Luoluo, who was facing her, was smiling even more brightly than she was.

After all... Xi brought all the fire lilies from her home, a total of more than a dozen plants, with dozens of "flowers" growing on them.

Faced with the little girl's sincere and generous behavior, Jiang Luoluo was prepared to give her the whole jar of jam, which was three or four liters in total, in exchange.

Before that, Jiang Luoluo carefully pointed at the little boy Zhuang and gestured to the little girl Xi for a long time... "You didn't steal it from home, did you? Your parents know, right?"

“How could I possibly be like that idiot Zhuang!” the little girl exclaimed cheerfully.

But looking at the jam jar in Jiang Luoluo's arms, the little girl swallowed unconsciously and then mumbled an explanation, "It was because I asked Dad about the firecrackers last night, and Dad found out I gave them to you..."

"You're going to give them all to me?" Jiang Luoluo blinked.

"We're going to throw them all away." The little girl wrinkled her nose, clearly unhappy.

Jiang Luoluo was a little taken aback, but after thinking about it, she understood the reason—no matter what, the fire flower was considered slightly poisonous by the tribespeople.

It's fine to display it at home for your child to see, as a decorative toy, but it's problematic when your child takes it out and lets other children play with it...

If you're not careful, you could run into a big problem!

Therefore, Xi's father made a quick decision to take all the fire lilies out of the house and throw them away, and also cleaned up other dangerous plants to prevent happy from taking them to other children who were not aware of the danger and causing harm.

As for the fire-flowers that Jiang Luoluo is seeing now... well, little girls are clever, after all. She said to her father, since they're going to throw them away anyway, why not give them to Luoluo? Luoluo really likes fire-flowers.

After being rejected by her father, the little girl was not discouraged. She took out the grass coat that Jiang Luoluo had made for her and said that Luoluo had worked so hard to make this grass coat for her. She just wanted to give Luoluo more of the fire flowers that Luoluo liked.

Then the little girl happy successfully brought all the fire flowers over.

On one hand, she lamented how naive and easily manipulated her people were; on the other hand, Jiang Luoluo readily accepted these "fire flowers."

Hehe, now she can carefully select the best ones to keep as seeds, and use the rest as seasonings in cooking.

Luo handed the whole jar of jam to the little girl, Xi. Xi was initially surprised, but after thinking for a moment, she pushed the jar back, saying, "Luo, these fire flowers aren't worth this much. I'll just take a little."

After saying that, the little girl ran to the side and picked a large blade of grass. She skillfully folded the blade of grass in half and bent it into a cone shape, then wrapped it with a grass stalk. A simple container that could be hung on her waist was completed.

Even though Jiang Luoluo pushed the jam jar to the little girl happy several times, Xi firmly refused each time, only taking about a third of the jam from the jar.

Jiang Luoluo looked down at the bunch of fire flowers, feeling moved by the tribe's simple and innocent nature and their admirable virtue of not taking advantage of others. Her very sensitive ears suddenly heard the little girl happy talking to the other children.

"happy, what is this? It smells so good!" Children have the most sensitive sense of smell. As soon as the little girl happy walked over, she noticed the sweet smell of jam on her.

Some children were simply curious, while others were already eagerly approaching, wondering if they could snatch it and have a taste.

The little girl looked around with delight. Although she wasn't the strongest among all the children, she remained remarkably calm in the face of being surrounded by wolves. "This? Luo gave it to me."

"Luo said it's a fruit paste made from fruit, and it tastes especially sweet." In front of many children, happy even opened it and tasted it herself. The aroma was even more intense, making the children watching even more eager to try it.

The little girl, Xi, continued calmly, "I just gave Luo a bunch of fire flowers, and Luo gave me so much fruit paste in return. She seems to really like pretty flowers."

Seeing that the children around her were barely moving, the little girl Xi deliberately added, "There's still a lot left in Luo's jar~"

A large group of older children immediately ran towards Jiang Luoluo.

The fastest running children shouted, "Luo, my family also has firecrackers, can I trade them for fruit puree?"

"I have one too! Trade with me!"...

As they ran, the children started fighting, but after being overtaken by other children, they stopped fighting in unison and continued running towards Jiang Luoluo.

"Luo, I don't have any fire-flowered flowers, but I do have some wood-ridged flowers. Can I trade with you?"

"My family has..."

Shouts erupted, and Jiang Luoluo's private corner was instantly surrounded by layers of people.

Jiang Luoluo, whose ears were hurt by the chatter of a group of children, finally understood why the little girl happy only took a third of the jam.

If she takes them all, other children will definitely want them and snatch them away. happy doesn't have the confidence to protect her things.

But if they only take a little and leave the majority to Jiang Luoluo, then the other children's attention will be drawn to Jiang Luoluo, who has more jam, and they will ignore her, the secondary target.

That way she can take her things home without worry.

Unable to speak, Jiang Luoluo looked at the chaos before her and fell into despair—"Everyone, please look at my sign language! Stop arguing!"

"Hey, stop arguing! Luo can't speak. She won't understand if you keep arguing like this!" The little girl squeezed through the gaps in the crowd and stood unnoticed next to Jiang Luoluo, acting as her translator.

—Not all children can be easily motivated; at least some children who find it troublesome still focus their attention on the joy.

You have to exchange things with Luo to get it, but you can just rob Xi.

So the little girl's eyes lit up, and she ran back to Jiang Luoluo's side, finding herself something to do so that even if someone wanted to challenge her, they wouldn't have a chance to speak.

Jiang Luoluo didn't dislike the little girl's actions. The educational conditions in the tribe were different from those in her previous life, and the different survival requirements brought about different survival philosophies.

Just like the struggle for resources, in Jiang Luoluo's previous life, it was something that needed to be romanticized and given a reasonable reason before it could be expressed, but it's different in the tribe.

To survive, one must learn to fight and grow stronger through competition. There is no need for any embellished or beautified reasons; it is simply about survival, nothing more.

The little girl happy simply found a way for herself, who wasn't particularly talented, to "survive" better.

A little girl named happy translated Jiang Luoluo's words, and the surrounding children quickly quieted down to listen to happy relay Jiang Luoluo's meaning.

"Luo said that she has a lot of this kind of fruit paste at home, and anyone who wants fruit paste can come and exchange with her. However, you must make it clear to your father and mother that you cannot take it by yourself, otherwise Luo will not exchange with you."

"Also, besides flowers, stones can be exchanged, but you can't take them secretly like Zhuang did. You have to let your father and mother know first."

Xi, who had been scolded by her father after he found out about her, spoke with unusual force when she said this.

Some children who had fireweed or other plants at home immediately turned around and ran home.

Classes on Little Rock Mountain are quite casual; the children can come and go as they please, and there are no mandatory requirements to participate. However, since they've all come here, they won't outwardly comply with He's requests—after all, they can't beat him.

Even though Brown only has one hand, the strength of an orc warrior is no joke.

Playing with a group of peers on the small rocky hill was definitely more interesting than staying in a cave or at home.

The tribe does not have a structure of men farming and women weaving. Instead, it is a system in which both men and women take turns hunting. At most, there are some differences in the work in special teams such as herb gathering teams and mining teams, but none of them are easy.

Those who stayed home to rest weren't idle every day—skinning animals, making clothes and blankets, gathering and drying wild vegetables, repairing stone tools damaged during hunting, and so on were all jobs. There was no question of who did what and who didn't; whoever was free did the work.
