Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 260 Xing's Independence Plan (Added 3000 words)

Time flies when you have something to do.

Jiang Luoluo was so engrossed in training that time passed by unnoticed.

The clothes he was wearing gradually became thinner, and the pain of being pressed to the ground became more and more intense.

The good news is that as she was pinned to the ground more and more often, Jiang Luoluo became more and more accustomed to the sensation of pain.

Habit is not dullness; habit refers to having sufficient awareness and mental preparation for the degree of pain in a wound, so that one will no longer react irrationally to certain pain.

The days of crying out in pain for ages over a scrape are over.

Being oblivious to injuries is not a good thing for tribesmen who frequently engage in combat; in fact, it may cause them to make mistakes in their judgments.

During this time, Jiang Luoluo also gained a lot, learning many combat skills and other things, needless to say.

Most importantly, Jiang Luoluo's body has grown much stronger and her physique has become even larger than before.

If you went out for a walk, you could easily mistake her for a ten-year-old child.

Especially on Little Stone Mountain, if everyone didn't know Jiang Luoluo's age, they would probably really think she was a ten-year-old child.

Even so, He still didn't let Jiang Luoluo undergo the same training as the group of ten-year-old children. Although they were similar in physique, there were still significant differences in their physical development.

It is not suitable to apply it directly.

For Jiang Luoluo, it is the season of "spring," the season for the small animals in the tribe.

The cub season lasts for about three months, which covers the end of the snow season and the time when the snow melts, and also connects to the rainy season.

But in reality, the best time of the cub season isn't that long; only the middle month counts. As for the one or two months between the start of the rainy season, they should be considered a transition period.

Jiang Luoluo discovered that she had misjudged the timing of the tribe's seasons.

However, it's not a big problem, since those things from the previous world aren't of much use to her survival in this world anyway.

Instead, it would interfere with her judgment from time to time, causing her a lot of trouble.

Go went to participate in the tribe's hunt again. After all, hunting is the most important thing for the tribe to continue. Except for the rainy season and snowy season when they cannot go out normally, it can never stop.

Xing skillfully moved into Jiang Luoluo's house and told Jiang Luoluo some news.

"Luo, I'm going to move out by myself after the rainy season ends."

Jiang Luoluo was shocked. "Huh? So fast?"

Xingwen smiled gently, "Actually, I can stay at home for another year, but I feel that there is no need to stay and trouble my parents any longer. It's better to move out sooner rather than later."

"I see..." Jiang Luoluo didn't know whether she should try to persuade him or not, so she decided to go to Xiaoshi Mountain tomorrow or the day after and ask Ping what he thought before making a decision.

"I've already picked out a new place to live," Xing dropped another bombshell without saying a word.

Looking at Xing's expression, Jiang Luoluo knew that she had made up her mind and that persuasion would not change it. She felt a bit of a headache—if Ping and the others did not support her, it seemed difficult to change Xing's mind.

But she still cooperated and asked the question.

Where is it?

"It's just a short distance away," Xing smiled. "I've been staying here so often that I'm quite familiar with this area."

Xing was pointing to the right of Jiang Luoluo's cave—to the left was the home of Mao and his son Ke.

“Eh…” Jiang Luoluo recalled that when she accompanied Mao to move, she had visited most of the caves in the vicinity and remembered that they were relatively narrow spaces.

"The space there is quite small."

"It's okay, I live alone too." Xing smiled, already prepared for Jiang Luoluo's question.

"Most importantly, we live so close by. If anything happens, can't I just ask you for help, Luo?"

Xing knew how to persuade Jiang Luoluo.

No matter what you do, there will always be many inconvenient troubles that need to be resolved.

How to solve these troubles and inconveniences is what makes up life.

Jiang Luoluo knew that Xing's mind was made up, so she stopped trying to persuade her and instead asked about the new cave.

The cave Xing chose was only slightly more than half the size of the cave where Jiang Luoluo lived. Its overall shape resembled a melon seed, narrow on both sides and wide in the middle.

A stone bed was placed at the very back... oh no, it should be replaced with a heated kang bed.

Place some miscellaneous items on one side, leave space in the middle for a fire starter, and there's not much extra space left.

However, if only Xing lives there, it's not too crowded.

However, the rainy and snowy seasons can be a bit troublesome, as the water chestnut is not very good at taking care of itself, whether it's fetching food or firewood.

However, since the distance is so close, Ge could help out on his way back and forth, and it wouldn't even be considered a problem.

Xing has helped take care of Jiang Luoluo for so long, so Ge ​​won't be stingy with this small favor.

Moreover, even if it weren't Xing, but just an ordinary tribesman he didn't know very well who needed help, Ge wouldn't refuse to help.

"Then let's go take a look tomorrow," Jiang Luoluo said after thinking for a moment.

Although the water chestnuts will not be moved until after the rainy season, there is not much time left, and we need to reserve half a month for building the heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed).

Otherwise, you can't start building the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) only after people have moved in.

As for why tomorrow... well, that's because Jiang Luoluo has to stay home and pack her things today.

As the snow season ends and temperatures rise, it's time to put away those heavy winter clothes and put on some lighter clothing.

Since we need to pack our clothes, we should also put away many of the items that we only used during the snow season, so we can pack them all up when we need them again next snow season.

Since we've already packed so much stuff... we might as well do a thorough cleaning of the whole house while we're at it.

This is a strange reaction that many people encounter when they start cleaning.

Jiang Luoluo was no exception.

Xing originally wanted to help pack, but unfortunately, there were too many things in Jiang Luoluo's belongings that she didn't understand the purpose of.

To avoid making things worse, Xing could only watch Jiang Luoluo work on her own, and do some small favors that were certain wouldn't affect Jiang Luoluo.

For example, fold all the thick clothes that Jiang Luoluo was preparing to pack.

However, while folding clothes, Xing noticed many beautiful ornaments that Jiang Luoluo had picked out, such as some colorful and pretty stones, and a bunch of brightly colored and beautiful feathers...

A pair of nimble little hands couldn't help but get restless.

"Luo, let me sew you a new dress with these," Xing asked.

While tidying up her pile of things that were hard to define, Jiang Luoluo nodded in response without turning her head, "Okay."

So while Jiang Luoluo was packing her things, Xing was already sewing clothes at lightning speed.

Although it was called sewing clothes, it didn't actually take too long.

What Xing meant by sewing was actually altering the size of Jiang Luoluo's clothes from before the snow season and sewing on some new accessories.

Since it's not a garment sewn from scratch, it doesn't take long.

So, a morning passed, and when Jiang Luoluo finished packing up her things, she turned around and saw several familiar yet unfamiliar clothes on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).

"Are these my clothes?" Jiang Luoluo scratched her head.

Wow, look at those sparkly feathers and beautiful stone ornaments! Wearing this outfit, she'd have a hard time even fighting!

Wait... why did she think of fighting?

Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized that her will had been subtly altered by the training she had received on Xiaoshi Mountain.

My first reaction to seeing the new clothes wasn't how pretty they were, but rather whether they'd be convenient for fighting!

That's it, she's been assimilated.

Despite thinking this, Jiang Luoluo still happily changed into her new clothes.

Before Jiang Luoluo could even go out and show it off to happy and Zhuang, the first group of viewers had already spontaneously appeared at the entrance of Jiang Luoluo's cave.

"Luo!" Not long after lunch, Bei stood at the entrance of Jiang Luoluo's cave and shouted loudly for Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo was slightly speechless. When she went outside, she saw that it was indeed Bei and his group. Meng, whose body contained the consciousness of a python, also followed timidly at the back.

Meeting Jiang Luoluo's gaze, she quietly hid a little behind the others.

This was something that made Jiang Luoluo feel very helpless. Originally, Jiang Luoluo thought that if she didn't go to find Bei and the others, they might forget about her after a while, since she had only been their leader for one day.

However, Jiang Luoluo never expected that even though she didn't go looking for Bei and the others, they would take the initiative to come looking for her.

Bei was a man of his word. He said that as long as he hadn't defeated Jiang Luoluo, he would never replace Jiang Luoluo and become the leader of their small group again.

So every few days, Bei would bring her group of friends to fight Jiang Luoluo, to confirm their status and position in front of everyone.

Jiang Luoluo was almost moved to tears... if Bei could just not come looking for her.

Actually, in this kind of situation, you could just deliberately lose once and be done with it, avoiding Bei's continued challenges. But faking a loss is something Jiang Luoluo really can't do.

So all they can do is endure Bei's occasional challenges.

Having new clothes and only admiring them yourself is absolutely impossible.

With so many people as an audience, Jiang Luoluo proudly went out wearing the new clothes Xing had made for her, showing them off to everyone and earning envious glances from the other children.

However, after showing off, Jiang Luoluo obediently returned to the cave and changed into another set of clothes.

Otherwise, she couldn't possibly go out and fight with Bei while wearing such beautiful clothes, could she?

Although Bei Yuan was no match for Jiang Luoluo, Jiang Luoluo wasn't entirely confident that she could keep her clothes completely clean if they actually fought.

At least for now, Jiang Luoluo's abilities don't allow her to do something so pretentious.

The final result was as expected, ending with Jiang Luoluo's easy and complete victory once again.

Bei arrived in a grand manner with a group of children, found Jiang Luoluo, praised Jiang Luoluo's beautiful new clothes, and then got a beating from Jiang Luoluo before leaving in a grand manner with the group of children.

Meng quietly mingled among them and left, without Jiang Luoluo calling out to him.

For some reason, Meng always felt a little scared when facing Jiang Luoluo, and would try his best not to be alone with her.

Jiang Luoluo wasn't exactly fierce, and she treated everyone very well... well, but when she saw Meng's face, she couldn't be polite and always couldn't help but glare at him.

That's probably why, if the python doesn't come out, the grasshopper is absolutely unwilling to be alone with Jiang Luoluo.

During this period, pythons were rarely seen.

It's probably because Bei and Jiang Luoluo have been fighting and sparring, so he can judge Jiang Luoluo's situation well through this, and therefore there is no need for him to test Jiang Luoluo's progress himself.

"Luo is really amazing." As soon as they returned to the cave, Xing praised him without reservation.

Because the battle took place at the entrance of the cave, Xing saw it clearly and was genuinely praising it.

Hearing Xing's praise, Jiang Luoluo felt a little embarrassed, as if she were still doing kindergarten problems in elementary school and was being praised for being smart.

Although I know this is my genuine ability, I still feel a little embarrassed about it.

But then she thought, even if she were in her past life, she definitely wouldn't be able to beat Bei, so she didn't really gain any advantage at all.

The next morning after breakfast, Jiang Luoluo and Xing went to the cave next door to check on the situation.

In caves that haven't been inhabited for a long time, there's usually a damp and gloomy smell. Deep inside the caves, there's even ice that hasn't completely melted during the snow season, with water droplets dripping down.

This is why caves are not as suitable for living as wooden houses.

Because there might be insects or creatures hiding in the corners, and Jiang Luoluo and Xing didn't have enough reaction ability, they didn't go deeper. They just stood at the entrance of the cave and glanced at the interior structure of the cave.

Although Xing had come to check it out before, Jiang Luoluo and she came back again to determine the exact size of the cave so they could customize the "furniture".

Xing moved out of her own home, not moved to a new place. She couldn't possibly take all the basic necessities and furniture from her own home—if she took them all, what would her parents and brother use?

Therefore, all necessary daily necessities and furniture need to be custom-made. Now that the size of the cave has been determined, we can decide on the required dimensions. Once the carpenter finishes the work, Xing can use it directly when we move out after the rainy season.

Unlike Ge, who didn't have many things at the time and only gradually added them after raising Jiang Luoluo.

There's also the matter of the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed). We need to determine the required number of bricks and stones so we can apply for it. Then, we can build the kang during this period and move in directly after the rainy season.
