Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 8 Heading to Little Stone Mountain

It hurts...it hurts so much...I can't even scream...

Jiang Luoluo clutched her throat, feeling a searing pain, but her consciousness was clouded and she couldn't clear it, only struggling in agony.

"Luo! Luo!" Accompanying the boy's anxious shouts was a slightly warm liquid that passed through his burning throat, bringing a touch of coolness.

Jiang Luoluo opened her eyes in a daze and saw that the young man Ge was holding a bowl of green liquid and feeding it to her.

As Jiang Luoluo's consciousness gradually returned, she recalled that when the young shaman left, he handed the boy Ge a bowl of herbs, which was probably the green liquid in his hand.

However, this medicinal soup is still strangely hot. Was it made with hot water? Don't we only have one stone pot at home?

Jiang Luoluo looked down again and saw a layer of oil floating on the green medicinal soup, which was obviously made by soaking the herbs directly in the meat broth in the stone pot.

No wonder she always thought there was a meaty smell; she thought she was imagining things.

For some unknown reason, after drinking the medicinal soup given by the young shaman, Jiang Luoluo's throat really stopped hurting.

Jiang Luoluo touched her neck and felt a sharp pain. She then realized that she had been in so much pain in her sleep that she had scratched her neck raw.

That's probably how young Ge noticed something was wrong with her. He quickly got up and made her a medicinal soup, which relieved Jiang Luoluo's pain.

What exactly is fire smoke poison? Jiang Luoluo was very confused. She originally thought that her throat had been burned.

Because she didn't feel any wound on her throat during the day, and it was perfectly healthy, yet she just couldn't speak, Jiang Luoluo even wondered if it was psychological.

—The original young child, Luo, suffered an accident that caused psychological issues such as an inability to speak.

However, after personally experiencing a poisoning attack, Jiang Luoluo realized that it wasn't that her throat was burned, but rather that something had grown on her throat, like maggots that gnawed at her bones, causing her unbearable pain.

"Luo, are you feeling better?" the young man asked anxiously.

He looked somewhat guilty, guilty for not noticing Jiang Luoluo's strange behavior sooner, and guilty for still being immersed in that nightmare, unable to break free and wake up sooner.

Jiang Luoluo drank the green medicinal soup in the bowl in one gulp... She wasn't really a child. Although the soup looked strange and didn't taste good, it was a good thing that could relieve her pain, so of course she had to drink it all.

Seeing the worried look in young Ge's eyes, Jiang Luoluo nodded, indicating that she was fine, and pushed young Ge to rest.

Through the loose gaps in the wooden planks at the cave entrance, Jiang Luoluo could see the sky outside, which was probably around three or four in the morning, still a little while before dawn.

Young Ge is only sixteen years old and still growing. He needs to sleep more to grow healthier.

Having just experienced Jiang Luoluo's poisoning, how could young Ge possibly sleep?

Unable to resist the cub's insistence, young Ge closed his eyes and pretended to sleep until he heard the cub's breathing gradually become calmer. Only then did he open his eyes again and watch over the cub without blinking until dawn.

Jiang Luoluo originally planned to wait until the young man Ge fell asleep before she went to sleep herself, but she was so focused on the fact that the young man Ge was sixteen years old that she forgot that she was only six years old herself. She didn't even last long before falling asleep first.

When she woke up again, the young man Ge had already ladled out all the meat soup from the stone pot, just waiting for her to get up.

Jiang Luoluo tidied up the animal skin clothes on the stone bed, put them aside, rinsed her mouth with water, wiped her face with a linen cloth, and then sat down next to the young man Ge to have breakfast together.

Young Ge just watched the cub busy itself without trying to stop it, even though he couldn't understand most of the cub's behavior.

But since the cub wants to do it, then let it do it.

The broth, simmered overnight, was rich and flavorful, and the meat chunks inside were cooked until very tender, though it had only a slight bitter salty taste.

But what's that saying again? The highest level of deliciousness is the ingredients themselves... Well, Jiang Luoluo has to admit, it's just because she has no other choice but to eat this.

However, the meat itself does taste pretty good.

At least it didn't have that pungent smell of uncooked pork; the pure aroma of meat was enough to make Jiang Luoluo want to eat it.

They finished the whole pot of meat... It was mainly the young man Ge who ate it... Jiang Luoluo looked at him in surprise, even though she had already noticed that the people here had incredibly large appetites.

But I watched as the whole pot of meat was emptied, the broth was drained, and a new pot of water was poured in and boiled.

I'm still shocked and can't help but wonder—how are my digestive organs really doing after eating so much meat every day?

Although the dried vegetables that young Ge brought back showed that the tribespeople did not only eat meat but also some wild vegetables, it was clear that meat was the main source of sustenance. Did those few vegetables really make a difference?

Moreover, and most importantly, when she saw so many large chunks of meat last night, she thought it would last for at least a week, but judging from the current situation, it would only last for two or three days.

Where did all this meat come from?!

"Luo, I'm going to training. You stay home..." After finishing breakfast, young Ge looked at Jiang Luoluo and began to speak, but he suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

I remembered what happened in the early hours of the morning... What if Luo was alone at home and the poison flared up again?

"...Luo, would you like to come to Little Stone Mountain with me?"

Jiang Luoluo nodded repeatedly. Now that she had come to this era, she would definitely take the initiative to learn about all the information about the tribe in order to live a better life.

However, it would be unsafe for her, a six-year-old child, to run around on her own. Being able to travel with young Ge is just right for her.

Even though Ge was only a sixteen-year-old boy, Jiang Luoluo still felt very safe looking at his tall stature of over 1.8 meters, his strong biceps, and his thick, powerful arms.

Moreover, young Ge also possesses a stone spear as a weapon!

Jiang Luoluo followed the young man Ge out of the cave by covering the cave entrance with a wooden plank—mainly to let the other members of the tribe know that the cave owner was not at home, rather than to prevent theft.

Unlike the path she took down the mountain yesterday, Jiang Luoluo realized that she seemed to have come down from one mountain and then climbed up a low mountain.

Is the so-called "Little Stone Mountain" a small mountain next to the mountain where the tribe lived?

Upon reaching the top of the small rocky hill, Jiang Luoluo discovered that it was actually a flat area just like the mountaintop where the young witch lived... Who created this flat area? How was it created?

There were also many stones, some taller than a person and some half a person, on the flat ground. Jiang Luoluo guessed that the name of Little Stone Mountain probably came from these stones.
