Chapter 254 Jiang Luoluo's Learning Journey
Chapter 254 Jiang Luoluo's Learning Journey
There aren't many children on Little Stone Mountain.
Despite the severe cold, some children arrived early at Xiaoshishan to resume activities and training.
For example, Zhuang.
However, some children are reluctant to endure the cold and hardship outside, preferring the warmth of the heated kang (a traditional brick bed) at home.
For example, joy.
Some of the older children help the adults with chores at home, and also learn from the adults how to handle the trivial matters in life.
These are things they will be dealing with in a couple of years, and it's time for them to learn and master them.
Otherwise, when they turn seventeen or eighteen and start living independently, they will inevitably suffer a lot.
When He saw Jiang Luoluo coming over, he was also surprised, and then a disapproving expression appeared on his face.
"Why are you dressed so scantily clad?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Luoluo looked down at her own disheveled appearance, which resembled that of a bear, and a bewildered expression appeared on her face.
Is she dressed too lightly?
However, when Jiang Luoluo saw Brown's gaze fall on her neck, she knew that it wasn't that she was wearing too little, but rather that there was such a large empty space on his neck, making his body look unbalanced.
It gave Brown the impression that she wasn't dressed warmly enough.
But she couldn't explain why she gave the scarf she was wearing around her neck to Little Fish King Biao... Little Fish King Biao's appearance was really worrying.
She was already incredibly thin, and on top of that, she was carrying such a huge soft-shelled turtle. Her clothes were half-soaked with water, and she was shivering in the wind.
Even a stranger would feel some sympathy upon seeing her like this, let alone the fact that Jiang Luoluo and Xiaoyu Wangbiao have a close relationship.
Jiang Luoluo herself was dressed like a bear, so giving away a scarf wouldn't make her cold. It was just a convenient thing to do, not something to make Jiang Luoluo sacrifice herself to keep the little fish king warm.
Brown reached out and placed his hand on Jiang Luoluo's neck, feeling her body temperature. Finding that she wasn't cold, he pulled Jiang Luoluo's clothes up a bit to cover her neck more and reduce the wind, before feeling relieved.
When asked about Jiang Luoluo's purpose for coming, they asked, "Luo, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
Jiang Luoluo wasn't just wandering around aimlessly; she had her own purpose in coming to Xiaoshishan.
"I want to train with them too!" Jiang Luoluo declared firmly.
That's right, with Ge not home, she really can't train alone, but she can find outside help!
He has been teaching children on the small rocky hill for so long, he must know what the most suitable training methods are for children, and he can definitely teach better than Ge.
Jiang Luoluo didn't mean to say anything bad about Ge.
As everyone knows, Go is a genius orc warrior in the tribe. Go's genius lies in his powerful beast transformation ability, which far surpasses that of other tribesmen, and his innate fighting talent.
For a genius like him, who could defeat all his peers without any combat training and only through instinct, learning combat skills was no different from eating and drinking.
Therefore, when he was teaching Jiang Luoluo, he often found himself at a loss as to how to teach her.
Because some things, in Ge's eyes, should be things he could learn at a glance, and not even be considered problems.
Ge couldn't even understand where Jiang Luoluo's doubts lay, let alone why Jiang Luoluo would have any misunderstandings about something so simple.
If it were someone else, it would be easier to teach them through "personal experience," using continuous combat to teach them the correct way to deal with the situation.
Unfortunately, Ge just couldn't bring himself to hurt Jiang Luoluo.
Jiang Luoluo cried so bitterly after losing a fight to Mang. Ge didn't even dare to think about how he would comfort her if he personally beat her to tears.
Therefore, Jiang Luoluo found it very difficult to learn during this period, and Ge's teaching was even more difficult... It was much more difficult than when he was learning on his own.
He glanced at Jiang Luoluo, his expression slightly hesitant.
Jiang Luoluo was a little confused. "...What's wrong?"
Why is she looking at me so strangely? All she wants to do is train with us, is there something wrong with that?
No problem, but Brown thought of the recent rumors in the tribe. He heard that "Luo lost a fight with a man and cried a lot." He originally thought it was just a rumor.
Jiang Luoluo doesn't seem like such a fragile child, but judging from her current reaction, it's most likely true.
"Nothing much... Um, Luo, why don't you stretch your body first? I'll come and see how you are." Brown changed the subject.
After looking around at the children on the small rocky hill, he waved and called over Zhuang, who was playing happily. Zhuang had a good relationship with Jiang Luoluo and could control his strength when hitting her, so he didn't dare to really hurt her.
Besides, Jiang Luoluo and Zhuang have a good relationship, so even if she loses, she probably won't cry... she won't cry, right...?
Seeing Zhuang's excited expression, covered in sweat, Jiang Luoluo knew that Zhuang must have been incredibly bored at home this snowy season.
"Hey, Luo, you're here." Zhuang was so engrossed in playing that he didn't even notice when Jiang Luoluo arrived.
"Zhuang, you take turns with Luo. Don't use too much force, just observe Luo's reaction."
He earnestly advised, "Luo is still young and no match for you. Don't go too far when you strike."
Zhuang wiped his nose and gave Jiang Luoluo a big smile, "Don't worry!"
Then they pressed Jiang Luoluo to the ground.
Brown's heart almost stopped for a moment, but when he looked down at Jiang Luoluo, he saw that she didn't seem to be about to cry, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Luoluo was thinking.
She felt that if Python and Strong were to face off, Strong would most likely lose, not Python.
Even if there is a five-year age difference between the two.
Jiang Luoluo knew that Zhuang had held back when he attacked her, but even so, she could still feel intense pain through her thick clothes when she was pinned to the ground.
This had never happened before when competing with a python.
Although the python's movements were not exactly gentle, they never caused Jiang Luoluo too much pain—if it had hurt terribly every time it pressed down, Jiang Luoluo wouldn't have challenged the python more than ten times in a row.
No more than three times, and the pain will be so intense that you'll be lying on the ground, unable to get up.
This is enough to prove the difference between a python and a strongman—only those who are more familiar with controlling their own strength can make a move with ease, release and retract their strength, and avoid harming others.
As for Zhuang's behavior—Jiang Luoluo was certain that he had indeed held back, but this holding back only meant that he did not punch Jiang Luoluo with all his might.
A gentler approach, Zhuang wouldn't do.
At his age, all he can learn is to unleash his full power; he hasn't yet reached the point where he can retract the power he's released.
Therefore, Jiang Luoluo fell into deep thought, feeling that the difficulty of defeating the python had increased once again.
—The python was definitely a very powerful orc warrior before… no, he should be an orc warrior from the tribe!
She wasn't unable to get up because of too much pain! No!
Seeing the concerned look on He's face, Jiang Luoluo pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and got up from the ground.
Strangely enough, at first Jiang Luoluo felt a lot of pain, but after a short while, the pain lessened considerably.
It's like the body is adapting to this pain.
By the time Jiang Luoluo got up again, she didn't feel much anymore.
Zhuang, on the other hand, was completely unaware that he had used too much force, and even felt that he had already restrained himself greatly. He looked at Jiang Luoluo with an expression that awaited praise.
It's like having a dog that weighs over 100 pounds, running wildly towards you, knocking you to the ground, and then sticking out its tongue and looking expectantly for you to pet its head.
Jiang Luoluo forced herself to give a compliment.
After all, she needed Zhuang's help, so she couldn't possibly be ungrateful for Zhuang's help and instead criticize him as if she were accusing him.
That's incredibly ungrateful.
He confirmed that Jiang Luoluo was alright, then, with a worried expression, directed Zhuang to carry out the next attack.
This is actually to test how Jiang Luoluo will react under different attacks, to get the most complete information about Jiang Luoluo, and to make it easier to arrange learning content for her.
The tribe doesn't know what individualized instruction is, but they know that if a tribesman who isn't good at fighting is sent to participate in a hunt, he will definitely die... so they don't insist on having unsuitable tribesmen do a certain thing.
So Jiang Luoluo was repeatedly pinned to the ground by Zhuang, with some of her weak counterattacks interspersed among them.
Jiang Luoluo was five years younger than Zhuang, and her physique, strength, and fighting skills were far inferior to Zhuang's.
At first, He was full of worry, wondering if Jiang Luoluo would cry again because of losing the fight.
Soon, the expression on his brown face turned into genuine worry as he looked at Jiang Luoluo, seemingly unsure how to begin.
Jiang Luoluo is definitely not stupid, nor is she without talent, but the habits and values she brought from the previous world always influence her, causing her to overthink in most situations and thus miss the best reaction time.
For example, He had Jiang Luoluo assume a defensive stance, and then Zhuang attacked Jiang Luoluo from different angles to observe her reaction.
Jiang Luoluo's first reaction is always to avoid, rather than to fight back, which explains why she is not aggressive towards her clansmen.
However, when she has no choice but to fight back, Jiang Luoluo will subconsciously control her strength and will not use her full strength to retaliate.
Moreover, before each move, there would be a slight hesitation, as if he were thinking about what counterattack method and force to use so as not to hurt Zhuang, or to hurt him less severely.
Even though she herself is the one who truly needs to worry about getting hurt.
But Jiang Luoluo is always worried when she makes a move, wondering if she might hurt someone. Once she feels that she has used too much force, she will unconsciously relax.
Even with ten points of strength, you can't even muster half of it.
There was no other way; Jiang Luoluo had lived in a relatively peaceful and law-abiding world for the previous twenty-odd years.
Even if they have a conflict with someone, they will never fight.
If you win, you lose money; if you lose, you end up in the hospital.
Before taking action, people have to consider whether they can afford to pay compensation, whether they will cause serious injury to the victim, and some even think that it would be better for them to receive compensation after being injured.
Unlike in the tribe, where the best way to communicate is through fighting, the best way to discuss matters is also through fighting, and the most important way to survive is through fighting.
Moreover, they don't care about hurting the other person when they fight, because such minor injuries don't take long to heal.
However, Jiang Luoluo was used to being restrained, and suddenly being asked to let go and act boldly was still a bit of a challenge for her.
It's not something that can be changed so simply.
It takes 21 days to form a good habit, so how could Jiang Luoluo suddenly transform into a war god and defeat everyone so easily as soon as she started fighting?
The main reason why Jiang Luoluo has an advantage among her peers is that she has the complete mentality of an adult, plus she is taller and stronger than her peers.
Jiang Luoluo's natural physical advantages are enough to make her invincible, and the mental fortitude of an adult makes her even more "unbreakable and invincible".
However, Jiang Luoluo's approach was completely ineffective in the tribe. She had to learn to attack proactively and with all her might, without any hesitation in her mind.
Hesitation turns into cowardice, and you'll miss the best opportunities.
For the people in the tribe, their instinctive intuition is their best weapon, allowing them to react immediately when they sense something is wrong.
Often, that crucial reaction in a split second can determine a life or death.
So just now, He was only worried that Jiang Luoluo would cry, but now he is worried about Jiang Luoluo's future.
In the eyes of the tribe, a tribesman who cannot fight is not much different from a tribesman like Xing, who is born with a deficiency.
Fortunately, this was just a matter of habit. After He explained this to Jiang Luoluo, Jiang Luoluo stopped controlling her strength and tried to clear her mind and not think about anything else to distract herself.
Although there are still occasional stutters and the response isn't always smooth, it's definitely something that can be corrected, and the improvement is obvious, which made He breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Otherwise, he would really have to worry about Jiang Luoluo's future.
While the things Jiang Luoluo made were enough to ensure she had enough to eat and wear, that was on the premise that there was enough food in the tribe.
If a weather disaster occurs and the tribe doesn't have enough food reserves, what good will it do if Jiang Luoluo can make more things? She still won't be able to exchange them for food from other tribespeople.
Brown didn't have the concept of "surviving without hunting," so he seemed to care a lot about whether Jiang Luoluo could become a true orc warrior.
It is the most foolish thing to place your hopes on others; only the power you hold in your own hands is the most secure.
Just like young animals always have to leave the nest.
