Chapter 174
Chapter 174
Jiang Luoluo originally had other things to do, but unfortunately, because of this delay, it was almost dark by the time she finished.
Jiang Luoluo couldn't help but look up at the sky. Perhaps it was because the weather was getting colder, but even the time it took for it to get dark was much earlier than usual.
Shou was escorting Jiang Luoluo home when, halfway there, he suddenly asked, somewhat embarrassed, "Luo, can I come and escort you again tomorrow?"
Jiang Luoluo snapped out of her daze, her expression full of surprise. "Why?"
Shou scratched his head. "It feels like it's quite interesting to be by Luo's side."
Jiang Luolu tilted her head, "Huh?"
After thinking it over carefully, Shou finally sorted out his thoughts: "I never know what to do, and the things I do are always boring. I can't speak or express myself."
“I’m afraid Yuan will think I’m boring… Yuan always has a lot of ideas and thoughts, and I can never keep up with her.”
He watched over Jiang Luoluo, "But being with you, Luoluo, I think I've grasped something, so let me stay with you some more."
"Even if I can't learn anything from you, Luo, the things I've seen will definitely make Yuan more interested."
Jiang Luolu blinked and translated it herself—There's gossip, it's delicious, Yuan loves to eat it.
It's not necessarily that they actually learned anything from it; it's just that they've been eating too much gossip and have the illusion that they've "gotten it"... Once they get used to it, they won't find it strange anymore.
"Okay." Jiang Luoluo didn't refuse.
Anyway, it's not a bad thing, and Ge feels more at ease knowing that someone is with her.
"Oh, by the way, could you please pass on this message for me when you get back later?" Jiang Luoluo smiled slyly.
"Okay." Shou agreed without hesitation, then asked, "What news?"
"Please tell Yuan that there will be a gathering at Qing's house the day after tomorrow. Don't be late."
The location for the gathering was decided after leaving Yuan's house and going to Qing's place. Yuan didn't know the specific time and place, so he had to tell her separately.
Seeing the smile on the cub's face, Shou blinked and quickly realized that the cub was creating another opportunity for him to be with Yuan.
Her face flushed slightly, but Shou accepted the offer quite frankly, "Okay... thank you."
"You're welcome." Jiang Luoluo had just finished speaking when she saw a familiar figure walking towards her at the intersection. Before the figure could get close, she quickly ran over and waved to Shou.
"Someone's come to pick me up and take me home! You should go find Yuan too!"
As darkness fell, only two black silhouettes could be seen gathered together before leaving hand in hand.
……
"Ge, how did you know I was here?" Jiang Luoluo asked curiously.
According to the original plan, she should have already left Ti's house and gone to the next place, but Ge actually followed the road to Ti's house and came looking for her, which surprised her.
"Is that what you guessed too?"
“It was Chi who said it.” Ge smiled with a mix of helplessness and indulgence.
"She went to Dashishan and caused a huge commotion."
After Chi left Ti's house, Jiang Luoluo did not leave immediately. Instead, she accompanied Ti to use an eye chart to record everyone's vision so that Ti could easily grind lenses to their prescriptions.
However, this can't be rushed for now. Not to mention that the carpenter hasn't even found a new pair of eyeglass frames yet, things like convex lenses, concave lenses, and the planar concave-convex lenses that Jiang Luoluo mentioned later also require some time to think about.
You can do it without thinking about anything.
But he wasn't one to tolerate his own ignorance when faced with such a logical explanation. He needed to understand the principles behind those things in order to be more confident in making the glasses.
The time will obviously not be too short, but it won't be too long either. Without going into advanced thinking about things like the refraction and reflection of light, or considering the refraction of the human eye... the simple principles of magnification and reduction are quite easy to understand, right?
Jiang Luoluo thought irresponsibly that if the shaving research revealed something more profound, it wouldn't be surprising at all.
In short, after Chi left, Jiang Luoluo stayed at Ti's place for a long time, long enough for Chi to cause a big scene at Dashishan, with Ge involved, until the end, when Chi mentioned Jiang Luoluo and Ge came to pick her up and take her home.
"What did Chidu do?" Jiang Luoluo asked curiously.
"First, I identified everyone by name and scent, then I made a bold statement, saying I would challenge everyone on the Great Stone Mountain by myself," Ge said slowly.
"And the result?" Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened, not expecting Chi to be so brave.
"In the end, Chi won." Ge readily accepted the fact that he and his tribesmen had failed to win against Chi.
There are many reasons, such as Ge not yet being an adult, the number of tribesmen on the Great Stone Mountain not being large in the afternoon, and the truly powerful orc warriors not training on the Great Stone Mountain...
But the final reason is still the same: because Red is strong enough.
Her strength is not something that someone like Ge, who has only awakened his beast form a little over a year ago, can defeat. Even if Ge is recognized as a genius in the tribe... isn't Chi also a genius?
However, Ge did not tell Jiang Luoluo that the reason Chi mentioned Jiang Luoluo to him was because Ge was the only one who hit the wooden glasses during the attack.
To strike a snake, you must strike its vital spot. To attack an opponent, you must relentlessly attack their weaknesses. Does that mean that tribesmen and wild beasts should pay attention to etiquette and manners when they fight?
At first, Akane wasn't used to the clear vision her eyes provided, but she quickly adapted. In the early, somewhat chaotic moments, her reactions were incredibly fast as she got used to the advantage of her "vision."
This, in turn, proves that her "vision" has become her weakness.
So soon those wooden glasses became everyone's target. Ge almost grabbed them directly, but Chi quickly said, "Luo made them," which stopped Ge in time.
The first pair of glasses may have been destroyed just like that.
Of course, even if Go destroys the glasses, he still can't beat Aka. At most, he'll just let Aka return to her previous state and then get a good beating from her.
However, this near-miss cooled down Chi's excited emotions, and he probably won't do anything so rash again—at least not until the second pair of glasses is made.
"Where is Chi now?" Jiang Luoluo asked curiously.
"Probably at the chief's house," Go replied uncertainly.
Chi went to the Great Stone Mountain to cause trouble, partly to vent her excitement, and partly to prove to Chief Jing that she was capable of participating in the hunt!
So at this time, they're probably trying to persuade the chieftain to let them participate in the hunt.
"Will the leader agree?" Jiang Luoluo looked up at the direction of the mountaintop.
Faintly, it seemed like a beast's roar could be heard.
No, it's not indistinct.
Jiang Luoluo and Ge stopped and listened to the sounds of wild beasts tearing and biting coming from the mountaintop.
“The leader must have agreed,” Go said.
