Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 84 Hunting Learning

If Jiang Luoluo were still conscious, she would probably be so shocked by Wu's words that she would jump up.

Red millet, yellow wheat, white glutinous rice... these are names of staple grains, and they also represent the inheritance of brewing techniques.

What else about the Frostfire Tribe is unknown to Jiang Luoluo?!

Unfortunately, Jiang Luoluo was fast asleep and didn't hear what the shaman said, thus missing the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the tribe.

……

When Jiang Luoluo woke up, it was already afternoon, and she was taken back to her family's cave.

Of course, from Jiang Luoluo's perspective, she was unaware that she had actually gone to the mountaintop and met the witch.

Only Brown was in the cave, still cooking the jam in the pot; Red and Mao were nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Luoluo yawned silently, stretched, and climbed off the stone bed, her stomach rumbling at just the right moment.

"You're awake, Luo." He turned his head and looked over. Hearing Jiang Luoluo's stomach growl, he smiled slightly. "The food is in this pot. It's prepared for you. Come and eat."

Jiang Luoluo walked over and saw a piece of meat heating up in a stone pot, but as soon as she got closer, she smelled a burnt smell.

He smiled sheepishly, "Luo, you were drunk just now, which startled us all. We took you to see the witch, and we didn't have time to check on the jam in the pot. When we came back, we found that it was all burnt."

Jiang Luoluo nodded without saying anything, picked up the meat from the stone pot and started gnawing on it. She was probably hungry, because she ate it with great relish.

He watched from the side and casually mentioned Jiang Luoluo's drunkenness, "Witch said fruit wine is a good thing, Luoluo you can make more, but you are still young, so you can't drink it in the future, so as not to get drunk like today."

Jiang Luoluo nodded as she ate.

But soon, Jiang Luoluo slowed down her chewing speed and gradually stopped nodding.

Jiang Luoluo turned to look at Hei, who was still talking, her eyes filled with confusion. Wait, what did Hei just say?

Drunk? How did he know I was drunk?

And fruit wine? Wasn't she calling it fruit juice before she got drunk? Why did she suddenly change her mind and call it fruit wine?

"...The shaman said your fruit wine isn't fully made yet, only half done. He doesn't know if the final result will meet the shaman's requirements, and the whole tribe can't follow your lead yet."

"However, the shaman said that Chi will take responsibility for helping you. If you need anything, just go to Chi. Once it's made this year, the shaman will arrange for more people from the tribe to make fruit wine together next year."

Brown kept talking.

Jiang Luolu felt that she should still be drunk.

But after secretly pinching her own cheek, Jiang Luoluo realized that this was actually reality.

After quickly finishing her food, Jiang Luoluo sat down next to He and carefully inquired about the whole story.

After asking several times, Jiang Luoluo finally understood a little. It turned out that Wu "knew" that what she made was "fruit wine" and also knew "the uses of wine," so he had high expectations for her and hoped that she could make more.

Because it was uncertain whether it could actually be made, Wu did not mobilize other clansmen on a large scale. Instead, he planned to wait until Jiang Luoluo actually made the finished product before deciding whether to increase manpower.

Thinking about written language and the timeline of dates, Jiang Luoluo decided to curb her curiosity and not delve into how the shaman knew about "wine".

Anyway, there are already many secrets in the tribe that she doesn't know, so one more won't make a difference.

After learning all this, Jiang Luoluo finally had the mind to care about Mao and Chi's whereabouts.

“They went to pick fruit,” Brown replied.

Because the witch said she hoped Jiang Luoluo could make more fruit wine, and fruit wine is inseparable from fruit, after He brought Jiang Luoluo back, Chi took Mao to the forest to pick fruit.

Aka could manage on her own, but since Shigeru was such a valuable asset, she figured she might as well bring him along.

Jiang Luoluo was a little worried. Mao was only a fifteen-year-old child, and he didn't have the strength to protect himself like Chi and He.

Brown spoke up, "Luo, this is a good thing for Mao, you don't need to worry about him."

Jiang Luolu tilted her head in surprise, indicating her confusion.

He thought for a moment before telling Jiang Luoluo that although the children in the tribe would go to Xiaoshishan for training after they turned ten, the training there consisted of very basic things.

The real training actually involves parents taking their children to the forest for the most authentic education—how to check the weather, distinguish the functions of various plants, and how to identify the tracks or droppings of wild animals.

How should one attack different wild beasts, or rather, how can one avoid their attacks?

These are things that he, the teacher on this little rocky hill, cannot teach.

It's not that He doesn't know these things; after all, he was once an orc warrior who only became the instructor of Little Stone Mountain because he lost an arm. He remembers all these things by heart.

But Brown couldn't teach these things to the children, and the children couldn't understand the principles Brown spoke of—unless they saw them with their own eyes.

Since Brown couldn't provide the children with any real hunting training, he had to rely on their parents.

As for Mao... Mao's family consisted only of his father, who was just an ordinary orc warrior. To ensure that the family had enough food, Mao's father was almost always out hunting and rarely had time to stay at home.

Therefore, there is no way to provide early hunting education for one's children; it's something that can't be helped.

But now, when Mao goes to the forest with Aka to pick fruit, it is actually a learning process. Whether Aka teaches him intentionally or unintentionally, Mao can learn how to travel in the forest, identify plants, and know how to distinguish directions during this time.

This is something that Mao might only gradually learn after becoming an orc warrior through several dangerous hunting expeditions.

Jiang Luoluo fell silent.

She suddenly thought of herself; there were only two people in her family, relying on each other for survival. Would it be the same when she grew up to be a teenager?

No one is teaching...

Jiang Luoluo didn't think that just because she could make various things to exchange with her tribe, she wouldn't need to hunt anymore—who could guarantee that the tribe would always have enough food to exchange? If there was a famine and others didn't have enough food, who would want to exchange food with her? Only by mastering the ability to hunt could she be qualified to choose other paths.

Brown saw the sudden serious expression on the cub's face and roughly guessed what the cub was thinking.

After a slight hesitation, Brown spoke up, "Lo, you don't actually need to worry about these things."

Because Ge is not an ordinary orc warrior like Mao's father, he can hunt far more prey than he needs, so he will naturally have enough time to teach Jiang Luoluo.
