Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 56 Sunstorm

The rain lingered all night, but a bright, clear sky and sun appeared after dawn.

Although everyone knows that the sunny weather may be just an illusion, and a downpour could happen at any moment.

But this does not diminish the relaxed and joyful mood that a bright sky brings.

Mao has recovered quite a bit. Although he is still weak, he can get out of bed and help out when the cubs are working, doing small things within his ability.

Jiang Luoluo was also left at home by He today. After all, with Mao at home, there was no need to worry about her taking the poison to the point of relapse. Moreover, the hot water at home would make it easier for her to detoxify.

Jiang Luoluo took advantage of being at home to do everything she could—it seemed like there was nothing to do, but once she started, she found that there was no time to be idle at all.

Because of the rain, many things in the damp cave had to be taken out to air in the sun to remove mold and moisture.

While using fire to heat things in a cave is one method, it's not very convenient. The heat is concentrated in one direction, requiring frequent manual adjustments, and there's always the risk of accidental ignition.

The vacated space should also be wiped clean to prevent too much dust from accumulating.

And since these places had already been wiped clean, it was hard not to touch other places... In the end, everything was moved and relocated, and the entire cave was cleaned.

Since everything had been moved from its original location, Jiang Luoluo couldn't help but think of rearranging them to make the items in the cave more organized.

After rearranging the cave's furnishings, Jiang Luoluo's gaze fell upon the stacks of animal hides and linen she had taken out.

Why not take this opportunity... to get a proper wash?

When Brown returned from the small rocky mountain at noon, he was startled to see rows of animal hides, linen, and other items drying outside the cave.

"Luo, what are you doing?" Brown was shocked and confused, so he looked at Mao beside him.

Mao, who was working with his head down, looked up silently. In fact, he couldn't understand the cub's thoughts either, but since the cub wanted to do it... he helped him do it.

Jiang Luoluo felt that her behavior was quite normal. When buying new clothes, she knew to wash them before wearing them. So these linen and animal hides should definitely be washed before making clothes.

Linen will be softer after being washed and dried, and the bloody smell on animal hides will be less noticeable after washing.

Most of the tribespeople were used to the scent of the animal hides, which allowed them to blend into the environment of the Taz Forest and deceive the wild animals with their keen sense of smell, making them feel that there was no need to clean them.

However, Jiang Luoluo thought about it and realized that she was too old to go hunting in the Taz Forest, so whether she had a scent or not wouldn't make any difference. She might as well make her nose feel more comfortable.

Anyway, she really couldn't stand the smell of the slaughterhouse on her body anymore. When the people in the tribe processed the animal hides, it was difficult to clean the bloodstains in time, so some bloodstains would dry directly on the hides. When they cleaned them afterward, they would just rinse them with water a few times without soaking them. It was difficult to really clean the bloodstains off the hides. In other words, the animal hides were covered by fur, so you couldn't see the bloodstains underneath.

Before He returned, Jiang Luoluo's actions had already attracted many neighbors to come and watch. When they saw that Jiang Luoluo could wash clothes without going to the river, their shock exceeded what Jiang Luoluo had done.

Many tribesmen only realized that Jiang Luoluo could use the large wooden tub for washing clothes when they saw it. They all went home to get things to exchange with Cong. The reason why many tribesmen don't wash clothes often is because it's too troublesome to go to the river to wash clothes and be careful not to lose them.

For the tribespeople with their keen sense of smell, the smell of animal hide clothing was not pleasant either, but given various constraints, endurance was the most cost-effective option for them.

Now, Jiang Luoluo has given them a new option.

Despite expressing his incomprehension, He readily joined in, helping with the work and finishing up the rest. As the weather looked about to change, he put everything back into the cave.

Sure enough, just as the three of them were having lunch in the cave, they heard a loud bang outside the cave, and a torrential downpour began to fall under the bright sunlight.

Is this the sun... or a downpour?

Jiang Luoluo stared blankly at the scene of the rainstorm and the sun appearing at the same time. After a while, the bright sunshine slowly dissipated, and the weather returned to its normal overcast state.

Jiang Luoluo considered the possibility of this kind of weather occurring sometime, and finally concluded that it was probably because the rainstorm came too suddenly and too quickly; the clouds hadn't even covered the sun before the rain started falling.

Yes, that should be the case.

The cub, holding a wooden bowl, stood at the cave entrance watching Yu eat, its thoughtful expression causing Brown to misunderstand. He thought the cub was thinking of the boy Go in the Taz Forest.

So he spoke up to reassure her, "Is Luo worried about Ge? Don't worry, he'll be fine and will be back soon."

Jiang Luoluo turned around in confusion. She hadn't thought about that aspect before, but after hearing this, she was actually a little curious about Ge's situation.

Yes, curiosity.

After all, Jiang Luoluo was in a tribe as soon as she transmigrated, and apart from the earth rabbit, she had never seen a complete wild animal. She didn't know what the wild animals in this world looked like, so she had nothing to worry about.

In Jiang Luoluo's memory, the images of wild animals were mostly those she had seen in the zoo in her previous life, such as tigers that were over two meters tall and wolves that were only about twice the size of a dog...

But then consider the superhuman physique of the tribesmen. Let alone young Ge encountering a tiger over two meters tall, even Zhuang, a ten-year-old boy from Xiaoshi Mountain, could probably fight a tiger and win.

Even if she encountered the largest elephants, weighing several tons, Jiang Luoluo didn't think there would be any problems. It might be a bit difficult for one person, but with a few more people, it would definitely be fine.

It is completely unnecessary to talk about things that an ignorant person does not know.

Although Jiang Luoluo had seen various plants that were several times larger than she remembered, plant mutations were normal, and she had seen quite a few giant plants in her previous life.

How could one inexplicably associate it with wild animals?

Of course, most importantly, the size of the tribespeople that Jiang Luoluo saw had not changed much; they remained within the range of human size, at most just larger.

Jiang Luoluo has seen people over two meters tall before, such as some basketball stars.

As for how Jiang Luoluo discovered that the human population in this world was roughly the same as before... just grab a handful of dirt and you'll know.

Sand is probably the smallest particulate matter that can be seen with the naked eye. If you can't feel that the sand particles have obviously become larger or smaller, then you can make a judgment.

If the sand and humans in this world changed in size... then it would be no different from no change at all.
