Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 255 Where can you find a training partner like this?

Fortunately, there aren't many children on Little Stone Mountain right now, and everyone is doing their own thing, so Brown doesn't have much to do except keep an eye on them to prevent any accidents from happening to them.

He was able to teach Jiang Luoluo with great focus.

Zhuang didn't feel any aversion to being Jiang Luoluo's sparring partner; after all, in Zhuang's eyes, it was just playing around with Jiang Luoluo.

Moreover, Jiang Luoluo had always acted like a little adult, seemingly capable of making decisions. There was never any opportunity to pin her to the ground and watch her struggle helplessly.

As one of Jiang Luoluo's good friends, he was naturally eager to participate in such fun activities.

So even as it got dark and we were leaving, Zhuang was still a little reluctant to part. "Luo, are you really not going to practice a little longer?"

Jiang Luoluo glared at Zhuang angrily, but when she saw Zhuang's heartfelt plea to stay, she deflated... Oh well, why should she argue with Zhuang?

That silly kid is incredibly strong; he doesn't know how much force he can use.

For most people, they would have relaxed their strength towards the end, but Zhuang was completely different. From beginning to end, he used as much strength as he could.

Every move is executed with full force; there is no holding back.

Completely disregarding Jiang Luoluo's deteriorating physical strength and her slowed reactions due to pain.

Jiang Luoluo felt like she wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow. She had been pinned to the ground so many times that her limbs didn't feel like her own anymore.

But she could also feel that she was making rapid progress.

After all, the pressure was immense... If she reacted even a little too slowly or wasn't prepared to release the force, she would have to endure even greater pain.

However, such intense and exciting training also has its downsides.

Xing simply handed Jiang Luoluo a wooden bowl from behind, which provoked Jiang Luoluo to jump and create distance.

The two stared at each other for a long time before Jiang Luoluo realized that Xing wasn't going to attack her.

At the same time, Jiang Luoluo was somewhat relieved that her first reaction was to create distance instead of launching a counterattack...

The reason for creating distance is simple—Zhuang is not afraid of being controlled. If Jiang Luoluo tries to counterattack with 8 attacks to control him immediately, Zhuang will respond with a "mutual destruction" response.

For example, they could choose to fall down in the same direction.

In terms of toughness and thickness, Zhuang is definitely superior, so after Jiang Luoluo suffered a few losses, she stopped doing that.

Zhuang's attack response does not rely on speed and agility, but rather on a "still as a mountain, swift as thunder" approach.

Most of the time, they reduce their activity frequency, giving the illusion of slow reaction, but in reality, they are accumulating strength and waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

It may not be able to kill in one blow, but this blow will definitely be all-out.

Therefore, Jiang Luoluo learned to first create distance and interrupt Zhuang's power-building process, thus buying herself more time to react and counterattack.

Hearing Jiang Luoluo's explanation, Xing completely disregarded the fact that she had almost been attacked and instead wore a delighted smile.

"Luo, that's great! You'll definitely become a powerful orc warrior."

Jiang Luoluo was momentarily dazed, then realized that in the tribe, having great military strength was the greatest blessing.

Therefore, Xing didn't think that almost being attacked was a bad thing or something that required an apology. On the contrary, she felt it was a good omen, proving that Jiang Luoluo had the potential to become a strong person.

Xing's words carried the weight of "You will definitely get into Tsinghua or Peking University" from the last world.

When Jiang Luoluo woke up the next morning, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she didn't have any body aches.

In fact, last night before going to bed, she saw so many bruises and welts on her body that she thought she would never be able to get up.

As it turns out, the tribespeople's physical condition is truly remarkable. Apart from still feeling some swelling and pain in their bodies, the bruises and marks were no longer visible.

This also dashed Jiang Luoluo's hopes of taking a break and being lazy.

After mentally preparing herself for a long time at home, Jiang Luoluo mustered her courage and, as if heading to her execution, walked up the small rocky hill.

Children in the tribe only go to Little Stone Mountain for training after they are ten years old. There is no need for her to force herself so early. She can be a child and enjoy her three carefree years. There is nothing wrong with growing up with the tribe when she is older.

The above are Jiang Luoluo's thoughts to comfort herself.

Before Jiang Luoluo could convince herself, she realized the oversight in her words.

It is true that the children in the tribe only start training on the small rocky hill at the age of ten, but did they do nothing before the age of ten?

On the contrary, they do a lot every day.

They go on adventures to places that are dangerous for children, climbing up and down every day, falling and slamming from heights, and constantly fighting and arguing with other children their age.

Their physical training is actually incorporated into their daily activities.

It is precisely because of their constant injuries that they become more accustomed to pain, their wounds heal faster, and their bodies become stronger.

But looking at Jiang Luoluo herself, besides staying at home and tinkering with her little gadgets, she doesn't do much physical activity every day.

Even though they run around the tribe every day, they won't let themselves get hurt, and they avoid dangerous things whenever possible, unlike real children who cause trouble.

Therefore, despite having a tall and strong physique, Jiang Luoluo was actually as delicate as a golden doll.

Jiang Luoluo does need a more standardized training program, or she needs to integrate into the games of children her age like a real child.

But that probably wouldn't be of much use—peers of similar age can't really harm Jiang Luoluo, so they don't meet the requirements for training and growth.

It was quite late when Jiang Luoluo arrived at Xiaoshishan. As soon as she got there, she heard Zhuang and happy arguing.

"What are you arguing about?" Jiang Luoluo pulled back a scarf before the voices became clearer.

When Xing got home yesterday, she learned that Jiang Luoluo had given her scarf to Xiaoyuwangbiao, who was passing by, so she sewed a new scarf for Jiang Luoluo.

It was much thicker than Jiang Luoluo's previous scarf, and you couldn't even hear the wind when you walked on the street.

"...See, I told you Luo would come today! I didn't lie to you!" Zhuang pointed at Jiang Luoluo, looking smug.

happy pursed her lips and rubbed her arm without making a sound.

She had just gotten into a fight with Zhuang. As they both got older, it became increasingly difficult for Xi, who didn't really like fighting, to use her age advantage to beat Zhuang.

"Luo, are you looking for someone to spar with?" Xi Buxin asked Jiang Luoluo again to confirm.

Jiang Luoluo nodded, looking at Zhuang with a somewhat hesitant expression.

Fortunately, she overcame her own laziness today, otherwise Zhuang would definitely have been mistaken for a "liar" by Xi.

Thinking about it this way, she did do a good thing by coming to training today.

“Zhuang trained with you yesterday, so it’s my turn to train with you today,” happy volunteered.

It looks like he's saying he'll play with Jiang Luoluo.

Perhaps in happy and Zhuang's minds, there is no difference between training and playing.

Jiang Luoluo had no objection; after all, she was destined to get beaten up no matter who she trained with.

After He finished arranging for the other children and came over to watch Jiang Luoluo's training, Jiang Luoluo decided to take back her previous statement.

How can training be the same no matter who you train with!

Like Xi, who holds back eight-tenths of her strength when attacking, even when pressing Jiang Luoluo to the ground, she doesn't forget to pull Jiang Luoluo back up to prevent her from hitting the ground.

After gently placing Jiang Luoluo on the ground, he didn't forget to ask with concern, "Luo, does it hurt? Did I use too much force?"

Where else can you find a training partner like this!

“…Xi, let Zhuang do it later.” He looked at the two people who were harmonious and loving, and was deeply moved. Then he decided to break up their friendship.

What can this level of training achieve?!

Zhuang laughed out loud from the side, and then was beaten up by happy and Jiang Luoluo.

In the end, Zhuang proudly resumed his role as a training partner.

After all, he likes Jiang Luoluo, so he can't bring himself to do it... That's the downside of smart people; they always overthink, worry too much, and sometimes even seem indecisive.

But happy wasn't completely idle. When Jiang Luoluo and Zhuang got tired from practicing together, it was happy's turn to go on stage, which was a kind of rest time for Jiang Luoluo to recover her strength.

This can also be seen as consolidating the previous training results and relieving Jiang Luoluo's tense state.

When Jiang Luoluo returned home at noon, she saw Little Fish King Biao waiting at the entrance of the cave.

Little Fish King Biao was carrying a half-meter-long soft-shelled turtle and a clean scarf.

"...This is the soft-shelled turtle I caught today, it tastes very good." Little Fish King Biao pointed to the soft-shelled turtle that Jiang Luoluo had never seen before.

"However, they are very rare and can only be caught right after the snow season ends; they are not seen at other times."

The meaning of "Little Fish King Biao" is probably that the season is just right and he was lucky enough to catch such a soft-shelled fish, so he brought it to Jiang Luoluo to try.

However, looking at Little Fish King's fingers, which were white from the cold, Jiang Luoluo wondered whether it was just good luck or if it had been caught on purpose...

"And this, here you go, I've washed it clean." Little Fish King Biao handed over the scarf.

Little Fish King Biao knew that there was always a lingering fishy smell in the Fish Cave, which many of his tribesmen disliked. To avoid offending Jiang Luoluo, he cleaned her outside.

Jiang Luolu blinked, looking at the clean linen scarf, and suddenly became a little unsure whether Little Fish King's pale fingers were due to fishing by the river or washing the scarf with cold water.

...It seems he was indeed lucky to catch such a soft-shelled fish.

"Here, take this scarf. It'll be a long time before the weather warms up, so you can wear it." Jiang Luoluo smiled and pushed the scarf back, showing off her new scarf, which was embroidered with beautiful flowers—Xing's handiwork.

“I have a new scarf, and it’s warmer than that one.”

It's not only thicker than the old scarf, but also prettier.

Before Little Fish King Biao could think any further, Jiang Luoluo ran back into the cave and quickly came out carrying a piece of meat.

"I'll accept the turtle, but I won't take it for free. Let's trade."

The pieces of meat weren't large, and Jiang Luoluo knew that giving too much meat would feel like charity, which Little Fish King wouldn't accept, so she gave only the normal amount for the exchange.

“…Okay.” Little Fish King Biao looked at the piece of meat that had been stuffed into his hand, and nodded after a while.

"Okay, put the scarf on." Jiang Luoluo tugged at Xiaoyuwangbiao's clothes, making him lower his head, and then carefully wrapped the scarf around his neck.

There are scarves and similar warm clothing in the tribe, but most of them are square or triangular scarves. Jiang Luoluo was the first to create a long scarf like this.

...However, the day after Jiang Luoluo finished making it, there were quite a few imitations in the tribe.

As Jiang Luoluo produced more and more items, the tribe members' trust in her grew.

It's gotten to the point where whatever Jiang Luoluo makes, everyone imitates it without even thinking.

Rather than waiting four or five days and finding out that this thing is actually useful, it's better to use it from the beginning.

Anyway, you'll figure out why it's good or what makes it good by using it more.

As for what to do if it doesn't work well... things that can be easily copied by the tribespeople won't have any impact even if they don't work well.

Moreover, countless facts have proven that the things Jiang Luoluo makes are never unusable, only unusable.

"I heard from Xing that you've been training on Little Stone Mountain recently..." Little Fish King Biao pursed his lips.

"If there's anything I can do to help, feel free to come to me."

Even Little Fish King Biao himself wasn't very confident about what he was saying. Most of the children in Fish Cave were malnourished and there was a big gap between them and normal children.

The most obvious factor is body size. In the tribe, the average height is 1.8 or 1.9 meters, and some can even grow to more than 2 meters.

Most of the children in Yuerdong can only grow to about 1.7 meters tall, which makes them look half a head shorter than other people in the tribe. How can they not feel inferior?

This kind of size difference cannot be bridged by effort alone.

“Okay.” Jiang Luoluo readily agreed, not refusing Xiaoyu Wangbiao’s kindness just because she had plenty of friends around her who could help.

In life, the thing you should never fear is having too many friends.

However, seeing Little Fish King's increasingly thin physique, Jiang Luoluo still felt somewhat worried.

Although she knew this was only temporary, the snow season was over, and the hunting party would bring back enough food during the next small animal season, so there was no need to worry about the fish cave.

Seeing Little Fish King's plumpness like this, Jiang Luoluo couldn't help but wonder if there was anything she could do to help Fish Cave.

Just like every time I see children in an orphanage, I always think about whether I can do something to help them.

"And about the grasshoppers..." Little Fish King Biao began.

Jiang Luoluo reacted for a moment, "What?"

"No, it's alright." Little Fish King Biao was relieved to see Jiang Luoluo's reaction.

He also learned from his clansmen that Jiang Luoluo had been "beaten to tears," and he was thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to "avenge" Jiang Luoluo—although he was a bit too old to lay a hand on Meng, a child.

But there are many children in Fish Cave who are seven or eight years old! And the age limit for children in Fish Cave can be extended to under ten years old! They can even fight in groups!

Even if they would be criticized and educated, none of the children in Yuerdong would refuse if it were for Jiang Luoluo!
