Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 101 New Drug Efficacy

The bonfire banquet at the top of Silver Peak Mountain finally came to an end when Jiang Luoluo couldn't help but doze off.

However, not everyone left; many tribesmen remained to finish up the remaining food on the mountaintop.

Food eaten during such group activities is not allowed to be taken home by the tribe members. It must be eaten on the spot. Even if there is a lot left over and it can only be finished the next day, it must be left on the spot overnight and cannot be taken away.

After all, although there is moral confidence in the people of the tribe, there are some things that cannot be allowed to happen. Once someone tastes the benefits of not following the rules, it will quickly breed more greed and dissatisfaction.

This could potentially turn something that should make all the tribes happy into something bad in the end.

Therefore, at every bonfire feast, the food is grilled and eaten on the spot, and the number of people is simply calculated to avoid large errors, keeping the food within a range of only a small amount more than the number of people.

This way, even if there is food left over at the end, there won't be too much left. As long as a few tribesmen with larger appetites finish it off, it can be easily eaten up.

There may not be many other things in the tribe, but there are definitely a lot of big eaters.

For most of the tribe, being full simply means that they have enough food to sustain them for a day's activities, not that they are actually "full".

Therefore, the final finishing touches are actually a form of reward.

Ge could have stayed; as the most outstanding performer in this hunt, he certainly deserved the final preferential treatment.

However, after seeing Jiang Luoluo shaking her head and swaying precariously, Ge still declined the invitation and chose to take Luoluo home to sleep.

After all, he really didn't lack food.

……

All of Brown's belongings in the cave had been packed up and taken away by Brown around noon, leaving nothing behind.

However, when Ge Yi returned, he was still shocked and could not recognize that this was his original empty cave.

Upon entering the cave, the first thing you see is piles of various fruits that occupy half of the cave space, most of which are sorted and packed in wicker baskets—these are the fruits that Jiang Luoluo traded with the elders of the Fish Cave.

Many wicker baskets are damaged beyond repair after being used to hold soft-shelled turtles once, but they are not much of a problem if they are used to hold fruits that do not struggle.

So Jiang Luoluo traded jam with the older villagers for some discarded wicker baskets, washed them clean, and used them to hold fruit, so that the fruit wouldn't be scattered all over the ground and hinder their movement.

Moreover, categorizing and arranging different fruits makes everything simpler, even stacking them is more convenient and takes up less space.

Ge really wanted to ask, "Have those fruits I brought back still not been cooked after all this time?"

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Go realized that the fruits were very fresh and had obviously been picked recently, rather than the batch he had picked before he left.

Holding the cubs in his hands, perhaps believing they were obtained through trade with other tribesmen using jam, Go did not delve into the origins of these fruits.

Or rather, there were many other things that shocked Goe more than just these fruits.

For example, there were rows of wooden containers placed against the mountain wall, and wooden wine barrels taller than a person were neatly arranged against the wall, stacked from low to high according to size. Ge couldn't believe that they were all filled with jam—but they weren't.

There were also two tall wooden shelves on either side of the stone bed, piled high with things. A quick glance revealed stacks of linen, animal hides, and many small tools and materials.

There were even a few large, particularly beautiful stones placed on it.

Turning my head, I saw that next to the water tank and firewood, where food was originally placed, there was now a simple shelf piled high with various plants.

Go identified them: Fireflower, White Single Head, Stinky Flower... as well as Sun Fruit and Bloodfire Grass, piled up to the brim, making Go worry that the cub might have stolen the witch's wooden house.

Looking further at the stone bed, there were neatly stacked new linen quilts and several sewn animal skin blankets, along with a new set of animal skin clothes.

Is this really his home? Go fell into doubt.

He remembered that when he left, the house was quite spacious... Now, even before he went inside, it already felt a bit crowded.

But the familiar interior of the cave and the cub's unwavering footsteps confirmed to Ge that this was his home.

It was too late, and Jiang Luoluo was too sleepy to talk to Ge. She simply brought out a wooden basin of water, added some hot water from the stone pot, and asked Ge to use it to wash his body.

After washing away most of the various smells that had accumulated in the Taz Forest, Jiang Luoluo handed Ge a clean, newly sewn animal skin garment that she had prepared in advance on the stone bed, and asked him to change into it.

He filled the stone pot with water again before pulling Ge to go to sleep.

Ge lay on the soft, warm stone bed, feeling the clean, odorless, and sun-kissed new animal skin clothes, and hearing the even breathing of the cub beside him who had just fallen asleep. He drifted peacefully into a dream.

However, the vigilance developed during such a long period of intense living in the Taz Forest cannot be eliminated immediately upon returning.

Even though Ge looked very relaxed and was sleeping soundly.

But when Ge sensed something amiss with the cub on the stone bed, he immediately opened his eyes and jumped up.

The sleeping cub, unaware of its surroundings, grabbed its own neck and scratched its throat forcefully, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Although the cubs had not yet fully taken the poison, and were only subconsciously showing their discomfort, Go recognized that this was a sign that the poison was about to take effect.

Go quickly searched the small package next to the cub and found a medicine packet wrapped in grass leaves.

Through the scent of the herbal packet, Goe keenly sensed the difference in smell between this herbal packet and the previous ones.

But reality didn't give him much time to think. Ge quickly realized that since the cub only had this one kind of herbal pack with it, it meant that the herbal pack was used to treat the cub's poisoning.

Go chose to believe the cub.

There was hot water readily available in the stone pot. It didn't take long for Ge to get a bowl of herbal soup after noticing something was wrong with the cubs.

Carrying the soup to the still-unawakened cub, Ge blew on it to cool it down a bit before carefully pouring it into the cub's mouth.

Jiang Luoluo had not yet woken up. She was probably too tired from the day and felt unwell. Even though Ge picked her up, she still did not wake up.

He just swallowed instinctively and quickly finished the whole bowl of soup.

The hands that had been anxiously rubbing his neck finally stopped.

Seeing this reaction, Ge breathed a sigh of relief and sat beside the cub, watching over it until dawn. Only when he saw that the cub that had gotten up was not uncomfortable at all did he feel at ease.

When Jiang Luoluo woke up in the morning, she was unaware that she had almost suffered a poisoning attack the night before.

I got up and washed up as usual, and prepared breakfast while cleaning.

After checking her personal belongings, she discovered that one packet of the antidote that Wu had prepared for her was missing, and only then did she learn from Ge about the poisoning she had experienced the previous night.

Jiang Luoluo pinched her throat and carefully examined it. It didn't hurt much; in fact, it felt quite comfortable.

She usually felt a bit thirsty when she woke up in the morning, since there was always a fire burning in the cave, and the temperature was quite high this time of year.

But when she woke up this morning, she was surprised to find her throat felt very moist, and she thought it was because the rainy season was approaching and the air was becoming more humid.

Looking back now, it must have been the effect of the new herbs given by the shaman. Putting aside other effects, it was quite soothing to the throat.

Remembering that Wu had told her to take medicine after the poison took effect, Jiang Luoluo took Ge to the mountaintop to find Wu after finishing breakfast.
