Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 217

See? Even the chieftain Jing doesn't trust Chi.

A hint of dissatisfaction appeared on Chi's face, but the thought that he could use the excuse of tasting the wine to drink some fruit wine later made him less dissatisfied.

She nodded obediently, then picked up Jiang Luoluo from the side, eager to go to He's house to get the fruit wine.

Mao glanced at the leader, Jing, who hadn't assigned him any tasks, and silently followed Chi's footsteps. He figured Chi could probably help with moving the fruit wine later.

Chief Jing looked at Chi's retreating figure, then at the cub, and felt much more at ease. He added to Cun, "Have them all go to the mountaintop later."

Only on the mountaintop is there such a large open space that so many people can gather.

Cun didn't act immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and asked, "What if some members of the tribe can't drink the fruit wine and can't recover by nightfall?"

“Then let’s postpone it for another day.” Chief Jing was decisive. The tribesmen who would participate in the hunt were all chosen, and no one would be easily eliminated.

After all, hunting is the only way for the tribe to obtain food—assuming other tribesmen trade goods, hunting is the only way to have surplus prey.

If a member of the tribe is deprived of the opportunity to participate in the hunt due to a minor accident, it may result in that member not having enough food in the future.

Therefore, Chief Jing preferred to delay for a day, giving all the tribespeople time to recover before going hunting, rather than risk any one or a few tribespeople going hungry.

Moreover, to be precise, it was his oversight as the leader that led to this incident; he had not considered that the consequences should not be borne by individual members of the tribe.

……

Jiang Luoluo was being held by Chi, and given Chi's eagerness for the fruit wine, she moved quite fast, almost too fast for Mao behind her to keep up.

So the three of them quickly arrived at Brown's house.

It was lunchtime, and He had already cooked the meat and was about to eat when he saw a figure suddenly burst in.

"Red?" Brown looked at the rampaging Red with a puzzled expression, and subconsciously said, "I can't give you the fruit wine..."

Only then did he see clearly the cub that Chi was holding in his arms. In an instant, thoughts about the cub filled Brown's mind—the cub was there, so the cub must have been looking for him. Chi came so quickly, so the cub must be in a great hurry.

Brown immediately stood up. "Luo, what happened?"

Jiang Luoluo was stunned for a moment. Seeing He's expression of great alarm, she quickly explained, "It's not my business. The leader asked us to come and get some fruit wine to take to the top of the mountain."

Knowing that the cub was alright, Brown felt relieved. Upon hearing the keyword "fruit wine," Brown hesitated and looked at Red—Red always felt that there was something fishy about the fruit wine.

Even with Jiang Luoluo testifying for Chi, it couldn't change He's suspicion of Chi, since Chi had taken fruit wine from him more than once or twice.

The fruit wines that Jiang Luoluo previously deemed semi-finished or waste products were taken away by Chi, but He would absolutely not allow Chi to take away these fruit wines that had been confirmed to be brewed.

Jiang Luoluo was shocked by Chi's precarious credibility in He Xin's heart. Fortunately, Mao, who was a step too late, also came in, proving the reliability of the matter.

Mao was a child whom He had watched grow up, and he knew Mao's character best, knowing that he would never lie.

Jiang Luoluo remained silent, then her expression turned to shock. Wait, He believed Mao, but not her?

His brown gaze shifted slightly. How to put it... in his mind, the cub wasn't a bad child who would lie or deceive, but from the moment he subconsciously felt that the cub had gotten into trouble again...

Jiang Luoluo felt sullen, but she knew it was because she always managed to cause trouble, so she didn't continue to blame He.

"By the way, Luo hasn't eaten yet, has he? Come and eat something first, so you won't go hungry later." He took out his untouched lunch and invited Mao to eat with him.

They are all growing children; they cannot go hungry.

As for Chi, who's eyeing the fruit wine so eagerly, he's a grown man, so what's wrong with skipping a couple of meals?

Jiang Luoluo did not refuse He's offer. She was going to the top of the mountain to watch the excitement, and there would probably be little food to eat there. He would not be going with her, as he still had to teach the children of Xiaoshishan as usual in the afternoon.

After Jiang Luoluo and the others leave, we can cook something else to eat.

Mao felt a little embarrassed to accept it. Although he was still a child in Hei’s eyes, after experiencing the awakening and transformation into a beast, Mao had come to see himself as an adult.

Moreover, he is going to participate in this hunt, and he is already an orc warrior.
