Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 281

The children who dared to challenge Jiang Luoluo at this moment would not back down just because so many more people suddenly appeared in front of them—since they were able to become the victors, they had the pride of victors and would not retreat before the battle even began.

Whether we can win or not, let's play it once first.

The melee resumed, but this time everyone made a point of identifying their teammates, turning the individual battle into a team battle.

Among them, the two who performed the best were Sparrow and Yu.

The main character of Que is ruthless and taciturn, with dark skin, making him appear like a shadow moving through the chaos of battle.

Knowing that it had "companions," the sparrow did not try to target one person. Instead, it roamed behind all its teammates and ambushed them when they were locked in a stalemate with their opponents, creating opportunities for its teammates to win.

Occasionally, sparrows will also "steal kills"—if they feel the opportunity is right, they will strike first and directly ambush to win.

Yuzu, on the other hand, showed the complete opposite. Her strength was not particularly outstanding, and she could not fight against children older than herself like Sparrow.

So Yu used various provocations to provoke his opponents, making them focus their attention on him, which can be summarized as "making the loudest noise and taking the worst beating."

Yu's stuttering did not improve, and she still spoke in short, fragmented sentences. However, no one mocked her for it, and Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with her way of speaking.

On the contrary, this way of speaking made her seem even more imposing.

"Come on! Hit me!"

"Where are you looking?!"

"Watch me! Fight me!"

"I'm here!"

"You! Come here!"

……

Although Yu couldn't win the fight, she didn't lose either. No matter how many times she was hit, she could get back up energetically and make even louder noises than before.

It is extremely durable.

Jiang Luoluo began to have some doubts. If she were to fight You, would she be able to defeat You?

It feels like a spring.

I fell down, but hey, I got up again.

In the end, Jiang Luoluo regained some strength and returned to the melee—seeing that Jiang Luoluo had the strength to return to the fight, the children knew that they could not defeat her.

Given that the group guarding Jiang Luoluo was indeed ruthless, they readily admitted defeat and stopped the melee.

Brown had arranged for a few children who hadn't participated in the brawl to go to the nearest house to get some hot water. However, it turned out that the adults from that house brought the hot water themselves, carrying wooden buckets full of hot water.

"So early this year?" The tribesman who came to deliver water with a wooden bucket put the bucket aside, looked at the children scattered all over the ground, and greeted He with a smile.

"It is a bit early, but since all the children are here, we started early." He also had a relieved smile on his face.

They don't think there's anything wrong with these kids fighting like this; on the contrary, the more exciting the kids' fight is now, the stronger their future is.

The tribe will also become stronger because of their existence.

Once the children had regained some strength, He waved to them, "Come over here if you've rested well, have some hot water to warm up, and don't keep lying on the ground."

Although the weather is warming up, the temperature is still quite low, and lying down for too long can easily make you sick or catch a cold.

"Those who brought their own water bottles, come over here; those who didn't bring water bottles, go to the other side to line up," Brown directed.

With Jiang Luoluo as an example, who always carries a small water bottle when going out, most parents in the tribe will also prepare a small water bottle for their children.

However, not all children like to carry so many burdens; only some children will carry a water bottle with them.

When the tribespeople who brought water came, they guessed that many children did not know how to bring their own water cups, so they took several wooden bowls and gave the children water in turn.

Jiang Luoluo brought her water bottle, and since she was now the "boss" of Little Stone Mountain, she went straight to the first place in line, and all the children made way for her.

The water was boiled, but it cooled down a bit on the way here, so it wasn't too hot to drink directly.

After taking a sip, I felt a warm current flow through my stomach, and my whole body felt comfortable.

After Jiang Luoluo finished getting the water, she quickly stepped aside and drank several mouthfuls before feeling like she had come back to life.

While everyone was queuing to get water, Jiang Luoluo observed them and their habits of bringing water bottles.

You is a big fan of Jiang Luoluo. After learning that Jiang Luoluo always carries a water bottle with her when she goes out, she also keeps her water bottle with her all the time.

Bei didn't bring a water bottle; he's the kind of person who finds carrying one troublesome. However, Meng did bring one. Instead of joining the melee, Meng took out his own water bottle and gave it to Bei and the others to use.

This saves Bei from having to queue with others for a water bowl.

Sparrow didn't bring a water cup either, probably because she came from Fish Cave and didn't have one. Although Fish Cave no longer lacked food, it wasn't rich enough to exchange for something as easily replaceable as a water cup.

Thinking of how hard Que had tried to protect her, Jiang Luoluo waved to Que and gave her her water cup to use.

Seeing Jiang Luoluo do this, You followed suit. After finishing her water, she lent her water cup to those of her own who hadn't brought their own.

Watching Que Xiaokou drink water from her own cup, Jiang Luoluo continued to look at the others. The older the child, the more likely they were to bring their own cup.

Perhaps it's because the older we get, the more we realize the importance of carrying enough supplies with us.

It's also possible that they knew they needed to carry luggage while hunting and trained in advance.

To Jiang Luoluo's surprise, Nan had also brought a water bottle.

But Jiang Luoluo had never seen this in him before.

After looking closely, Jiang Luoluo finally understood that Nan hadn't brought his own water bottle; he had given it to one of the kids in his team to carry.

That child's situation was similar to that of a grasshopper; for various reasons, they didn't like to get involved in fights and didn't even participate in the free-for-all.

No… Jiang Luoluo looked at it again.

It was discovered that the child wasn't just carrying Nan's water bottle; he was also carrying the water bottles of other children.

For this reason, the child even carried a leather backpack with him.

That wasn't all. After everyone had finished drinking water, Nan asked the child with the animal skin backpack to take out a piece of... roasted meat?!

The roasted meat was placed in a wooden box, and because it was wrapped tightly in a leather backpack, it was still warm when it was taken out.

Nan readily cut off a piece of meat and distributed it to everyone in his small team to replenish their energy.

With the food replenishment, Nan's small team recovered very quickly, and soon they were all full of energy again.

Jiang Luoluo glanced at Nan's men, then at her own.

Nan values ​​strength, but he doesn't refuse to let those who are weak or dislike fighting join his team. Instead, he assigns tasks suitable for each person.

For example, the child who carried the water bottles for everyone in the team didn't feel like he was being "bullied." Instead, he was happy because he was able to help others.

Although Nan is the boss, he does not take advantage of his position to make others pay tribute to him or do anything to profit from him, nor does he use it to show off his power.

As the leader, Nan takes care of everyone on his team—like taking out a piece of roast meat from a wooden box.

Other families with children would never be able to offer food like Nan did to share.

A sense of frustration welled up in Jiang Luoluo's heart.

She lost. She lost completely.

She never managed her team members, while Nan was serious, holding herself to the standards of a future tribal leader, and she lived up to those standards.

This also reflects the difference in self-positioning between Nan and Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo never thought about becoming a tribal chief, while Nan, ever since she could remember, had always taken her father as her role model and worked hard towards becoming a tribal chief.

Although Nan is still young, he has learned a lot about management from his father.

And gradually put what they learned into practice.

If Jiang Luoluo also wanted to become the tribal leader, she could certainly do a better job than Nan is now.

But after carefully considering the responsibilities she wanted to shoulder, Jiang Luoluo completely abandoned that idea.

So even after discovering the gap between herself and Nan, Jiang Luoluo didn't think about changing it. She just felt that she could consider these aspects more in the future.

After all, managing an entire tribe is just too troublesome. Even if Jiang Luoluo were given twenty people, she wouldn't have much confidence in managing them well, let alone a tribe with more than two thousand people, and possibly even more in the future.

It wasn't that Jiang Luoluo lacked confidence in doing a good job; it was just that her ambitions lay elsewhere. The thought of taking responsibility for other people's lives and even their daily trivialities only made her feel "tired."

This kind of fatigue is something she feels every morning when she opens her eyes, something that makes her think about what she'll be doing next—whether it's starting something new or finishing up what she didn't finish yesterday…

Every night when she closes her eyes, she starts thinking about what to do tomorrow, what to do the day after tomorrow, and what she needs to reconsider and rearrange the things she has done before...

Jiang Luoluo did not want this kind of life.

The life she envisions is one where, when she wakes up in the morning, she can get up whenever she wants, or stay in bed a little longer if she doesn't feel like it, without having to rush to do something at a certain time.

Or rather, she might rush to collect the laundry when a heavy rain comes one day, but she doesn't want to rush to collect the laundry every day.
