Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 210

"Help me? You probably can't either..." Jiang Luoluo asked, puzzled.

"Yes, I can." happy said with great certainty.

"Actually, not all... latrine pits are located outside Silver Peak Mountain," happy said with some difficulty.

In fact, children in the tribe are not too obsessed with cleanliness when it comes to feces, nor are they overly disgusted by it. Sometimes when hunting, they will smear some wild animal feces on their bodies as a way to conceal their scent—provided that they do not associate them with food.

Now, whenever Xi thinks of a latrine, all she can picture is the jam smoothie she just ate.

Being too smart isn't always a good thing. For example, Zhuang might not be able to react at all, but happy might be able to associate things with something bad.

However, once the words were out, it became much easier to continue, and happy mentioned her parents.

Xi's father, Dong, was a member of the herb-gathering team under the shaman. The team's activities were tied to the shaman's needs; if the shaman needed something, they might spend months searching for it.

If the shamans do not have specific requirements, they will periodically collect certain seasonal produce and store it for future use.

Compared to the other two groups, this is a relatively flexible and easy task, but it is quite mentally taxing. People who are not smart enough or have poor memory will find it difficult to undertake this task.

“That’s right. Actually, there’s only one latrine within the Silver Peak Mountain area. Not all latrines are outside Silver Peak Mountain.” happy’s eyes shifted.

“Sometimes my father would bring back some excrement from the latrine in the mountains and bury it in our yard.”

As members of the herb-gathering team, herbs are not as difficult to move as huge animal carcasses. As long as they are handled properly, these herbs are no more difficult to transport than animal carcasses.

Therefore, bringing back some plants that you like, within your means, is not a special thing.

In the backyard of the happy family, there was a place similar to the herb field of the mountain shaman, which was full of plants that Xi's father brought back.

Xi's father would often take some latrine from the manure pit in the mountains and bury it in his own yard. happy saw this many times.

"What?!" Zhuang exclaimed in surprise. "I remember you grew a lot of edible things at home..."

Her expression was stoic and fierce, which is why she didn't want to say it!

Jiang Luoluo fell into deep thought. She understood what Xi was saying. Composting manure, after it ferments, mixes it into the soil, which can bring a lot of nutrients to plants and make them grow better.

After all, the growth of plants is essentially about plundering the nutrients from the soil. Without nutrients, the soil cannot grow plants.

Wait a minute... Jiang Luoluo vaguely grasped something, but couldn't quite remember it, so she could only remember this for now.

"...The shaman's herb fields are done the same way!" happy and Zhuang argued.

Jiang Luoluo sighed and stepped forward to stop her.

Now she's no longer easily surprised. So what if she knows how to compost? Doesn't that mean agricultural technology has reached a certain level?

It's normal, haha, it's all normal.

After pulling apart happy and Zhuang, Jiang Luoluo understood that because there were only a few plots of land on Yinfeng Mountain for planting, the amount of fertilizer needed was not much. It was inconvenient to carry it back and forth to the foot of the mountain, so they simply made a small manure pit on the mountain.

However, the excrement inside was actually fermented at the bottom of the mountain and brought up to the top. It was mixed with many other rotten debris and was not pure excrement.

happy wasn't sure if the news would be useful, but she said it anyway.

Jiang Luoluo wasn't really sure if it existed, but she decided to give it a try.

Zhuang was still scratching his head, muttering to himself, "Is this really okay? But the shaman did it this way, so it should be fine, right...? Hmm, it should definitely be fine."

Jiang Luoluo and happy exchanged a glance and realized that sometimes, being a fool was quite enviable.

However, even though it has been decided, it won't be done in a short time. The key issue is still that... when it gets cold, there's frost, and it's impossible to distinguish between the two.

They could only agree with happy that they would go out together again after the snow season ended and the weather got warmer.

There was still some time before lunch, and happy and Zhuang had already skipped class on Xiaoshishan Mountain, so they weren't in a hurry to go back to class.

However, staying in the cave all the time wouldn't suit the lively and active personalities of the children.

So when Ge returned, he found the cave completely empty.

He wasn't even particularly surprised.

It wasn't until the three people were dragged home by the collars by the patrolling tribesmen that Go's face showed obvious surprise and astonishment.

"Honestly, if I hadn't discovered it in time, those few would have almost fallen in," the patrol member said, both amused and exasperated.

"No! I'm not falling! I'm holding on very tightly!" Zhuang Zhuang retorted loudly. "I'll be able to climb back up in a minute."

Seeing that Zhuang had drawn most of the firepower, Jiang Luoluo and happy lowered their heads even further.

Jiang Luoluo didn't know why things had turned out this way.

If I had to say something, it's probably because I was a bit bothered by the latrine on Silver Peak Mountain that I just mentioned. Since I had nothing else to do, I thought I'd go scout out the location beforehand and familiarize myself with the route...

But how did it turn into a scene where they climbed down a cliff and almost fell in? — It can only be said that the two of them failed to stop Zhuang.

In order not to affect the tribe members, and even to prevent the smell from spreading—the tribe members have a very strong sense of smell—the fermentation pit for manure was located in a valley behind Silver Peak Mountain.

Whether it was a natural depression or an accidental collapse, the valley did not provide a path for ordinary tribal children to walk on.

For orc warriors who need to travel back and forth, a simple jump can cover a height of over ten meters. As long as there is a slope with enough momentum to go up and down, or some platforms to step on, it is enough for them to travel back and forth.

Moreover, there are no places on the mountain that require a lot of fertilizer. Each time we come to collect fertilizer, we only need one or two wooden buckets, which we can easily carry up and down.

So the three children found the place, but couldn't get down.

After all, they don't have the powerful physical abilities of adult members of their race who can transform into beasts and move up and down valleys with elevation differences of tens of meters.

With the idea that "since we're already here," the three children began to give it a try.

At first, the slope was relatively gentle, but it became steeper as they went down, and the three of them couldn't go any further after going halfway down.

But turning back now would seem like a waste of too much time and energy, and the sunk costs made the three children reluctant to go back.

Zhuang was the one who made the most direct and quickest decision. He found a vine, wrapped it around himself, and tried to climb down using the vine.

But whether it was because the vines weren't strong enough or because the stone wall was covered in frost, it was slippery and Zhuang almost fell down.

Of course, as Zhuang himself said, he grabbed the vine and didn't fall; in fact, he almost climbed back up on his own.

However, the sound of Zhuang falling was heard by the passing patrol members of the tribe, who did not give Zhuang a chance to show himself and immediately put him back up.

Then Jiang Luoluo and happy, who had been squatting nearby and helping Zhuang hold onto the vines, were also lifted by the neck and taken home.

Jiang Luoluo's family lived closest, so she was the first to be sent back. Next, the patrol team members would have to send Xi and Zhuang back one by one.

Why not let them go home on their own?

—Wouldn't that mean we wouldn't see them getting beaten by their parents?

“Lo…” Ge sighed.

Jiang Luoluo looked up in annoyance... Honestly, why did she have to go along with Zhuang's nonsense!

If you can't go down, you can't go down; if you can't see it, you can't see it.

Why did I get so worked up right then and there?

"...Are you alright?" Ge asked.

Jiang Luoluo saw that Ge showed no blame, only worry. She wrinkled her nose, ran into Ge's arms, and buried her head in his chest.

This is so embarrassing!!!

"Not going to fight?" The patrol members looked a little disappointed, but considering that Jiang Luoluo was only six or seven years old, they could understand.

These two are definitely going to get a beating next. The patrol member nodded to Go, "Then I'll continue to send these two children back."

Ge watched his tribesmen leave, without blaming Jiang Luoluo. He simply patted Jiang Luoluo's head and asked, "Luo, lunch is ready. Do you want to eat now?"

"I want to eat," Jiang Luoluo said with a heavy nasal tone.

……

"Mother!" happy rushed into her mother's arms and told the story herself before the patrol members could finish.

Try to amplify other people's content and reduce your own presence.

The patrol members couldn't get a word in edgewise; they could only watch as happy performed with all his might.

He arrived later and didn't know the whole story behind the children. Hearing Xi's explanation, he was actually somewhat convinced.

It seems this one won't get beaten up either... The patrol members were a little disappointed, but their happy mother saw them off at the door with a smile.

Not far away was Zhuang's home. The patrol team had just sent Zhuang back and hadn't even spoken when they saw Nu stand up and pull out a wooden stick—wait, why was the wooden stick always by his side?

"It's not my fault!..." Before the patrol members could speak, Zhuang confessed everything he had done, and even felt quite self-righteous that he hadn't done anything wrong.

Hearing Zhuang's screams, the patrol team left the Zhuang family's gate with satisfaction. That was the right thing to do.

As they passed the Xi family again, the patrol team paused, hearing faint sounds coming from inside... Well, this one got beaten up too.

Xi's mother raised happy to adulthood and was used to Xi's ways. She wouldn't be easily persuaded like the patrol team members.

However, different children require different parenting methods. For example, the father of Zhuang, who gets angry and starts hitting his daughter, won't work on Xi; she won't approve of it.

So after hearing Xi's excuses, Xi's mother began to ask Xi questions one by one, until happy could no longer deny them, and then she started to take action.

The main point is that you'll be convinced.
