Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 120 Making a Cane

Jiang Luoluo was no longer involved in the matter of opening a new cave.

The cave to be opened this time is quite large, so we can't be as careless as before. We need to carefully survey the location—excessive force could cause part of the mountain to collapse.

Of course, given how sturdy Yinfeng Mountain is, there's not much to worry about, but we should still be a little careful just in case.

Chief Jing mobilized many young tribesmen to work, including Ge. Fortunately, Ping would bring his sister Xing over every day so she could continue learning with Jiang Luoluo.

From Jiang Luoluo's perspective, Ping was actually deliberately sending his sister over to get along with her and curry favor with her.

This is quite obvious.

After all, Jiang Luoluo had already taught Xing the basics, and even the new orders had been handed over. The only things left to learn were the new tricks that Jiang Luoluo occasionally thought of.

However, these complex patterns are not very important to Xing, because new patterns are complicated, mentally taxing, time-consuming and laborious, and their value is not much higher than those ordinary basic patterns.

For the people in the tribe, all these hair ties are new, whether simple or elaborate; they are all new and there is not much difference between them.

Even if something is incredibly beautiful, no tribesman would pay a high price to exchange for it, because every item has a fixed value within its range—another form of market price regulation?

Therefore, one can already glimpse Ping's inner thoughts as he painstakingly delivers water chestnuts every day.

However, Jiang Luoluo discovered that Xing actually really enjoyed making these handicrafts, so she just accepted it.

Jiang Luoluo felt she couldn't accept having to accept things she didn't like just to please her, but it was fine if it was something she was interested in.

Besides creating new styles of hair ties, Jiang Luoluo also made dolls with Xing, because she discovered that Xing's hands were much steadyer than hers.

Because the body is still that of a six-year-old child, no matter how much control one tries, it is still not as skillful and flexible as an adult's. Many parts of the body have not fully developed, so it is inevitable that the movements will be somewhat unsteady.

Jiang Luoluo's hair tie instruction class continued until the end of the rainy season.

The last needle rain arrived three days before the end of the rainy season. Because the shaman had warned the tribe in advance, no one went out that day, and therefore no one was injured.

Jiang Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief.

When the rainy season ended, Xing was helping Jiang Luoluo sew her doll, which was taller than a person, from the five-meter-long bear skin that Chi had sent.

Because the animal hides are not standard square patterns, the long side is more than five meters long, but the short side is less than three meters high, and there are various breaks in the middle.

Therefore, the final doll's outer shell was only about two meters tall, and it couldn't be made any bigger.

As for the leftover scraps, Jiang Luolu sewed a smaller version of the same doll, about 1.5 meters tall, like a parent-child doll.

Jiang Luoluo hadn't decided what to put inside the stuffing yet. Linen was definitely out of the question; such a big doll would require an unknown amount of linen to fill, and she couldn't afford to waste it like that.

The heavy rain outside was still falling, but it suddenly stopped without any warning, catching everyone off guard.

Jiang Luoluo was sitting not far from the cave entrance when the sudden sunlight shone into her eyes, and she realized that the sound of rain she was used to had suddenly disappeared.

The quietness around her made her feel somewhat uneasy.

"Luo?" Xing was sitting on the stone bed sewing dolls when she looked up and saw the cub sitting in the sunlight, patting its ears with a confused expression.

Xing suddenly realized that the cub had lost its previous memories, and this rainy season could be said to be the cub's first experience, so it was inevitable that it would experience some physical discomfort.

So she quickly got up and jogged towards the cub. Then, slightly unable to support herself, she knelt down in front of the cub, rubbing its ears repeatedly to stop it from slapping them, while calling out softly.

“Luo, Luo…”

The sound of voices rising again woke Jiang Luoluo from the sudden silence. She lowered her arm that had been slapping her ears and looked back at Xing, who was half-hugging her.

My gaze shifted downwards, landing on Xing's kneeling legs.

The legs of the water chestnut are not completely useless, but most of the time they cannot support the weight of the water chestnut's body. It can stand for a while with difficulty and walk slowly, and can walk a distance of ten or twenty meters.

Seeing Jiang Luoluo's appearance, Xing was too anxious and didn't have time to walk slowly. She ran too fast and lost control of her legs, so she could only kneel here.

Jiang Luoluo quickly helped Xing up. Fortunately, she was young but strong enough, and with a little effort, she managed to help Xing sit back on the stone bed.

Jiang Luoluo lifted Xing's clothes and saw Xing's bruised and purple knees—if it were a normal member of the tribe, let alone such a light knock, even if they fell from a height of several meters, they would only suffer this kind of injury.

But considering that Xing's legs should have atrophied, yet she can still stand up and walk a few steps, Jiang Luoluo really couldn't say that Xing's physical condition was bad—perhaps Xing's entire recovery ability was used to keep her legs from atrophying.

Thinking of this, Jiang Luoluo suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something... a cane.

Xing has enough upper body strength, and her lower body is barely enough to stand. If she has crutches, she can use most of her strength in her upper body and only occasionally use her lower body for support.

In this way, Xing might not need to be picked up and dropped off every day, and she could go out on her own.

Do you want to stand up and walk? Jiang Luoluo looked intently at Xing and gestured with her hands.

Xing understood the meaning in the cub's eyes, but instinctively avoided the question because she couldn't believe it. "...What, Luo, what are you trying to say?"

Jiang Luoluo repeated patiently, staring intently into Xing's eyes, not letting her escape: "Walk, do you want to walk? To walk on your own?"

“I…” Xing nodded vigorously, “I want to!”

Jiang Luoluo gave a big smile, told Xing to sit still, and then turned and ran out to Mao's house next door to find Mao.

She needs a little help right now!

Because she had things to do in her mind, Jiang Luoluo subconsciously ignored the discomfort she had just felt and felt that she was full of energy.

……

“Xing, Luo, the chief said there will be a banquet on the mountaintop tonight to celebrate the end of the rainy season…” Ping walked into the cave, pausing for a moment.

Looking at Xing, who was sitting alone on the stone bed.

"Where is Luo?"
