Chapter 232 The Dragon Clan Brings Food
When she got home, Ruan Tang took out a large pile of animal skins and gave them to her partner and children, letting them set up their own nests.
The wind at the seaside was salty, and the heat waves made her feel uncomfortable. Now she felt heavy, and after a walk she was sweating all over. She had to take a shower before she could sleep.
Lingze and Mo Bai have the best massage techniques, so they accompanied Ruan Tang to massage her. The other males quickly prepared the bath water, and the rest went to prepare the sleeping place for the night.
The family worked together and everything was done quickly and well. Ruan Tang's place to take a bath and sleep was also arranged. Due to limited conditions now, there were two rooms, one for the adults and one for the kids, and they all had bunk beds on the floor.
The males laid a thick layer of animal skins on the place where Ruan Tang slept. She was afraid of heat, so Mo Bai laid a layer of straw mat woven with hay on the animal skins. Mo Ran also filled both rooms with ice.
In such a comfortable and warm environment, the family quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, the little ones were so excited that they got up at dawn and ran outside to play.
Now everyone in the tribe knew them. When they saw them come out, even though they knew this was the high priest's home, the little dragon cubs in the tribe bravely ran over to play with them.
A three or four-year-old male dragon cub walked by, holding a bulging animal hide bag in his arms. "Excuse me, which one of you is the little witch? Thank you for healing my grandfather and father's injuries. These are the prawns my father caught in the sea early this morning. They're super fresh. I'm giving them to you."
Just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged dragon beastman came over, greeted the cubs with a smile, then walked up to Mo Xiaosi and said to his grandson, "This is the little witch. Come on, give the prawns to the little witch. We have to thank her properly!"
"Thank you, little witch. Wow, you are so beautiful!" Long Zaizi blushed a little embarrassedly. "Please accept this. This sweet shrimp is very delicious. That's it."
As he spoke, he took out a sweet shrimp bigger than his arm from the animal hide bag, quickly peeled it and put it into his mouth. "It's very tender and delicious even when eaten just like that."
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, but the kids didn't find a chance to interrupt.
Now that the little dragon cub's mouth was stuffed full of prawns, Mo Xiaosi finally managed to get back to the conversation. She waved her hand and said politely, "Uh...thank you, Grandpa, and thank you too. But we can't just accept things from others without Mom's permission. Thank you. Are these called sweet shrimp? We have a big family, and Father Longming will take us to the sea to hunt later. You said these sweet shrimp are so delicious, so we'll catch some more later."
"Yes, we will go hunting in the sea soon. Thank you, Grandpa. You are all injured and have just recovered. You need to eat more to recover quickly. We can't accept your things."
The little cubs had become somewhat familiar with the dragon tribe members last night, so they didn't put on any guard when talking to them.
"Sweet shrimps like these are more plentiful in the deep sea. Just take them. Yesterday, the little witch helped me and my cub detoxify. We are all feeling much better today. The little witch saved our lives. These sweet shrimps are just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't despise them."
Little Dragon's grandfather was very sincere. Mo Xiaosi didn't know what to do. She and her brothers and sisters looked at each other. Their mother had said that if someone really wanted to give something, they should accept it and not refuse their kindness. If they felt bad about it, they could find a way to return the favor when they got something good.
Mo Xiaosi made up her mind and reached out to take the animal skin bag from the little dragon cub's arms. It was quite heavy, and the little dragon cub still had some strength. She said, "Grandpa, don't say that. We'll take it. Thank you, Grandpa, and thank you, little dragon cub!"
Seeing that Mo Xiaosi was finally willing to accept his things, the little dragon's grandfather was happy. "That's good, that's good. Little witch, please don't say thank you. It's our whole family who should thank you. No, it's our entire clan who should thank you!"
Mo Xiaosi: ...
She didn't know how to respond to this.
Not knowing how to respond, I could only laugh a few times, "Then let's take these sweet shrimps home first. The fathers are making food, I'll ask them to make it for my mother later. Goodbye, Grandpa."
"Goodbye."
Just as the cubs turned around, a dozen orcs came over with animal skin bags, "Little witch, wait a minute."
Normally they didn't dare to approach the high priest's house. They only dared to come over with the food after seeing the little witch accepting the food from the Longxi family.
A dozen adult males were holding even more stuff in their animal hide bags, and they were pushing it in front of the little witch. Seeing that she didn't take any, they began to sell it to her: "Little witch, this is also the food we hunted this morning. You've already accepted the food from Uncle Longxi's house, so why don't you accept ours as well? It's nothing special, just a little food. We just heard you say that your family is making food, so it's perfect. You can take it back and cook it later."
"Little witch, it's just a little bit of food, please accept it. You helped us heal our wounds and detoxify our bodies. We don't know how to thank you enough."
"Hello!" Mo Xiaosi's little face was red. This was the first time that she was thanked so solemnly by someone. She wished her mother was by her side at this time.
"Take it, take it. We'll leave first." The males moved a little hesitantly, put down the animal skin bags and ran away quickly.
The little ones didn't understand what was going on, but when they looked up, oh, it turned out that it was Father Longming who came out.
Are they so afraid of Father Longming?
But they think that Father Long Ming is easy to get along with?
"Father Longming! Should we accept these things or not?" Mo Xiaosi was a little embarrassed. She should not have accepted the first one. When the tribesmen saw that she took the lead, they all came to give her things. Now she accepted so many at once. She wondered if her mother would be angry.
Long Ming bent down and picked up a few animal hide bags. "Take these, there are plenty of seafood in our sea area. If you feel bad about it, after breakfast, I will take you to the sea to fish. Didn't your mother say it's called 'reciprocity'?"
Mo Xiaosi felt relieved, and his voice became much more cheerful, "Okay."
Chi Shiwu grinned, "Since Grandfather Longming said to accept it, then let's accept it. If Mom gets angry later, they can say that it was Grandfather Longming who asked them to accept it, hahahaha."
Long Ming: ...
He was inexplicably blamed?
Ruan Tang slept soundly yesterday and woke up naturally. As soon as she woke up, she heard the children talking about their mother. She sat up from the straw mat and asked outside, "Why am I angry?"
