Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 243 Python and Grasshopper? (2000 words added to the previous chapter)

"Meng, we should go back now." The couple finally finished talking with the chief Jing and Wu, and spoke as softly as possible.

"From now on, you will live with us."

The boy seamlessly reverted to his shy and timid demeanor, nodding with teary eyes, "I understand."

Then, under the care of her new parents, she was wrapped in animal skin clothing and carried out.

Jiang Luoluo was relieved to find that she wasn't the only one who had to be wrapped up like a cicada pupa when going out; the other children were the same.

On the other side, they suddenly realized something and began to think.

Wait a minute, didn't he say his name was "Python"? Why did he just say "Worm"? Although the pronunciations are very similar, Jiang Luoluo didn't think she could have misheard.

So... his second personality actually has its own name, right?

"Luo, come here." Wu beckoned to Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo put down the herbs she had almost finished processing and obediently walked over.

Her interaction with the boy was actually under the watchful eyes of the adults. After all, the space inside the wooden house is only so big, and with the hearing of the tribe members, it would be quite difficult for them not to hear it.

Actually, the reason for having the couple bring the boy along this time was to see how Jiang Luoluo would react after meeting him.

As expected, Jiang Luoluo really didn't understand anything, had no memories of the past, and even treated the other party as just an ordinary child.

This is good, but there are also some bad aspects.

The good thing is that Jiang Luoluo will not be affected by other factors and can grow up healthily in the tribe.

The bad thing is that the child probably won't let Jiang Luoluo off so easily, and their relationship might continue to deepen.

After all, he had even told Jiang Luoluo his name.

However, Wu did not advise Jiang Luoluo to distance herself from the boy or prevent them from contacting each other. After thinking for a moment, she told Jiang Luoluo in a very tactful way.

"If he tries to get you to do something bad, it's best not to agree."

It's best not to agree, or even "absolutely not to agree".

"?" Jiang Luoluo looked bewildered.

Are the moral standards in the tribe really that low?

Even bad things are simply best avoided?

The leader patted Jiang Luoluo's head lightly with his large, fan-like hand and laughed at her blank expression.

“Witch, don’t scare Luo. Actually, he won’t do anything bad to the tribe. It’s just that some things might not seem so good. When you encounter such a situation, Luo, you can decide for yourself whether to refuse him.”

"Don't worry too much about our opinions. If you think he's okay, then talk to him more. If you think he's not good, then just ignore him."

Jiang Luoluo was still a little confused, but she roughly understood what it meant.

For example, she and the boy Python or the boy Grass are in the same class, but she should be considered a good student, while the other can be considered a bad student.

But even the worst students can't really be that bad; at most, they just don't study in class and cause a lot of trouble after class.

The leader, Jing, and the shaman meant that Jiang Luoluo could ask him to hang out with her after class if she thought he was someone she could get along with.

If you find him difficult to approach, you can simply ignore him.

Anyway, if there are any group activities such as hygiene inspections, he will definitely stand with the class and won't do anything to damage the class's image.

Jiang Luoluo: I understand.

She nodded. "Don't worry, I never hung out with bad students when I was in school. I always did my homework on time and handed it in on time."

No… Jiang Luoluo thought of the other party’s skillful use of switching accounts to buy pity. If she encountered this kind of thing again, she probably wouldn’t be able to refuse too firmly.

However, there's not much need to think about these things now, because the snow season isn't over yet. Although the temperature is rising, children like Jiang Luoluo still can't leave their homes and go out to play freely in the short term.

We'll have to stay home for another month or so—the snow season can be considered over once it stops snowing, but the temperature won't immediately rise just because it stops snowing.

Furthermore, due to the melting of snow, there will be another period of gradual temperature drops.

Having witnessed so many frostbite incidents at Wu's place, Jiang Luoluo became exceptionally obedient and well-behaved.

There's nothing we can do; there are plenty of examples of disobedience right in front of us.

As soon as the heavy snowfall of the snow season stopped, Ge went out hunting with the hunting team again.

Xing, carrying large and small packages, moved back into Lu Xi's house.

"Why did you bring so much glycerin...?" Jiang Luoluo asked, gesturing to explain, clearly puzzled.

Xing smiled sheepishly, "I made these at home during the snow season."

"Why are you making so much glycerin?" Jiang Luoluo was even more puzzled. Wasn't soap the most popular substance in the tribe?

What is glycerin used for? It's just for moisturizing the skin. Don't the tribal people dislike this kind of thing?

To be honest, Xing herself hadn't expected this at all.

The children in the tribe cannot go out during the snow season, but the adults often have to go out to prepare various things, and they inevitably meet and chat.

The topics of conversation were nothing more than "When will the snow season end?", "Is there enough food?", and "My child keeps crying..."

The first few topics were all normal, but when we got to the part about the child crying and fussing, it was particularly frustrating.

It's normal for skin to crack during the cold, dry snow season, something adults are used to, but newborns or even just a few years old can't stand.

She often cried incessantly due to physical discomfort, leaving the tribespeople exhausted both physically and mentally.

Although everyone grew up during this period and gradually got used to the pain every year, they no longer took it seriously.

But those were just children who couldn't clearly express their thoughts, so what could they do?

Ever since Xing started working with Jiang Luoluo, Xing's parents have paid extra attention to what Xing has learned to do. They remember even more clearly than Xing herself what Jiang Luoluo said about the effects of things.

So I casually mentioned, "We heard Luo and Xing mention that this thing called glycerin can moisturize the skin and is very effective for dry, cracked skin. I have a lot at home, why don't I take some back for you to try?"

If an ordinary person said this, the tribespeople might listen but wouldn't pay much attention.

But Jiang Luoluo has already successfully gained the recognition of most of her clansmen by doing so many things—everything Luoluo does must be useful.

For example, the soap we made before was not of interest to the tribe members when used to wash their faces and bodies, but if it was used to clean feathers and make feather blankets, then soap would be extremely rare in the tribe.
