Chapter 355 Trivial Matters
In the latter half of the night, the peaceful night was broken by the sound of pattering rain. The raindrops tapped on the wooden wall, making a crisp and faint sound.
Lying inside the tent, Ruan Mianmian was immersed in a sweet dream, but the soft sound of rain was like a playful little hand, gently tickling her heartstrings, making her start to worry about the intensity of the rain outside.
With this worry in her heart, Ruan Mianmian tried to struggle out of her warm bed, wanting to go out and find out what was going on.
However, just as she made a move, Sen, who was beside her, keenly sensed her intention and reached out to gently but firmly hold her down.
Sen said softly, "Ruan Ruan, you can sleep peacefully. I'll go out and check the situation. If the rain is too heavy or there are other problems, I'll come back and wake you up." His voice was gentle and steady, as if giving Ruan Mianmian a sense of reassurance.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian did feel extremely sleepy, and her eyelids were so heavy that she could hardly lift them.
Hearing Sen say this, she hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to believe her partner, nodded obediently, and then, like an extremely tired fawn, buried herself in the soft quilt again, slowly closed her eyes, and gradually drifted into sleep.
Sen looked at Ruan Mianmian, who had fallen asleep again, and smiled indulgently.
He carefully reached out and pulled up the tent zipper, trying not to make a sound so as not to disturb his sleeping lover.
After doing all this, he quietly slipped out of the tent and headed toward the cave entrance.
Although it was late at night, the tribe maintained a certain level of vigilance. Every night, a patrol team traversed the valleys to protect the safety of the tribespeople.
Since moving into the cave, three orcs have been stationed at the entrance every night to guard it in case of any unexpected situations.
When Sen came out, the three orcs on duty immediately noticed him and greeted him in a friendly manner.
Although Sen does not hold any specific position in the tribe, he has now successfully reverted to his ancestral form and possesses strength far exceeding that of other orcs.
Therefore, the tribespeople held this exceptionally capable companion in high esteem and admiration.
Sen stood at the entrance looking outside. Since orcs all had night vision, seeing things at night was a piece of cake for them.
Seeing that the rain wasn't very heavy, he felt slightly relieved. At this time, thanks to the well-constructed drainage outlets, there was no water accumulation in the valley.
Sen turned and walked out of the cave toward the fields where the tribe grew crops; the rain soaked his hair.
He carefully inspected the newly planted crops in the field and found that, thanks to the simple dikes he had built earlier, the rain had not washed away the ridges. Some seedlings swayed gently in the rain, as if they were dancing joyfully.
Just as Mori was about to return, he heard the patrol team's slightly hurried shouts from afar. Mori's heart tightened, and he quickly ran towards the direction of the sound.
It turned out that the orcs on patrol had discovered that the water level in the lake in the valley was gradually rising.
Without a word, Sen transformed back into his beast form and flew into the dark sky. Downstream from the lake, some rocks fell from the mountainside due to the rain, blocking the lake's flow and causing the water level to rise.
If the lake level continues to rise, the valley may also be flooded.
After Sen landed, he began to move the boulders one by one, and instantly the water rushed down and flowed away slowly.
After finishing all this, Sen returned to the vicinity of the lake and, seeing that the water level had dropped, nodded.
The patrol members looked at Mori gratefully. Mori patted one of the members on the shoulder and told them to continue patrolling carefully.
After dealing with this matter, Sen walked around the tribe again to make sure there were no more hidden dangers before heading towards the cave.
Back in the tent, seeing Ruan Mianmian sleeping soundly, Sen quietly slipped into bed as well.
