Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 68 Don't Try to Deceive Adults

Jiang Luoluo and Mao Jiujiu looked at each other in silence for a long time.

Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized an important problem: in Mao's eyes, the Fire Flower was a dangerous plant that could cause harm and pain to people.

Therefore, Mao could only tolerate her "trying" once to satisfy her "curiosity," but he couldn't just stand by and watch her hurt herself again and again without doing anything to stop her.

Although Jiang Luoluo could confirm that the fire flower was non-toxic and harmless, she could not refute the negative physical effects it caused.

Jiang Luoluo is able to engage in this kind of "self-destructive" behavior because she has the mind of a complete adult. She is aware of the consequences and costs of doing so, and she feels that she can take responsibility for her actions.

But she couldn’t accept having others take her place and bear these burdens—accepting Mao and He’s help elsewhere, only because her age and size limited her to rely on other older members of her tribe in some ways.

And so the two of them ended up in a stalemate.

Even on the night Brown was about to return, neither of them could truly convince the other.

Fearing that the fake would be switched in front of He, Jiang Luoluo had no choice but to end the standoff, take out garlic and green onions, and chew them raw.

Using the scents of garlic and scallions to mask the smell of chili peppers on your body is very effective.

Although Mao failed to persuade the cub, he also did not want the cub to be criticized by Hei. He had already promised the cub that he would keep it a secret, so he took the initiative to imitate the cub's actions and began to cover it up.

Of course, that wasn't enough. Jiang Luoluo then took out a piece of white fatty meat that she had prepared in advance and started rendering the oil in a stone pot. In front of Mao, she carefully cut a piece of meat into shreds and stir-fried it in the hot oil in the pot.

They even added a lot of scallions and garlic to sauté and season.

When He came to pick Jiang Luoluo up, all she saw was a wooden bowl with scattered shredded stir-fried pork, and all she could smell was the strong aroma of scallions and garlic filling the room.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Luo." He said to Mao with a helpless expression. After so long, he had come to regard Jiang Luoluo as his own child.

Looking at Maoxin's new home, which looked like it had been lived in for a long time in less than a day because of the cubs, I felt really bad.

Because his throat was distorted from the spiciness, Mao simply shook his head without answering, which was in line with his usual taciturn nature.

Jiang Luoluo nervously handed the stir-fried shredded pork to He for him to taste. He took a bite and frowned, "The taste is not bad, but, Luo, the smell is a bit too strong."

It was delicious, and in the past, He might have been amazed by it. However, after living with Jiang Luoluo for so long, He's taste has improved quite a bit.

At least this shredded meat, stir-fried with so many ingredients that the smell of scallions and garlic is almost overwhelming, is unlikely to elicit any other emotions from the brown meat.

Jiang Luoluo appeared to be humbly accepting criticism and guidance, but inwardly she was glad that she had managed to fool him.

Before leaving, He left the stir-fried shredded pork that Jiang Luoluo had made at Mao's house as a token of gratitude for Mao's care of Jiang Luoluo.

Although the stir-fried shredded pork had many flaws for Brown, it was a rare delicacy for others who hadn't tasted much cooking from cubs.

Mao glanced at the cub that had given him a meaningful look and accepted it.

Upon returning to the cave, He looked at Jiang Luoluo with a serious expression, like Jiang Luoluo's high school dean of students.

"Speak, what are you hiding from me?"

That's the same.

Jiang Luoluo looked up in surprise, more bewildered than guilty. Huh? What happened? She'd been exposed?

Is there something she didn't hide well?

Brown looked at Jiang Luoluo helplessly. He had been watching the cub's ability to handle food for a while. It was not that it would not make mistakes, but it was absolutely impossible for such a big problem to occur today.

This is not obviously intentional.

Furthermore, upon entering Mao's house, Brown noticed that many items showed signs of use before he arrived, meaning that the cub had spent the entire afternoon doing other things with Mao.

They only did something else temporarily to cover it up because of his return.

Moreover, no matter how strong the scents of the White-headed Beast and the Stinkweed were, Brown still detected a trace of other scents mixed in. In this respect, there is absolutely no doubt about the orc warrior's keen sense of smell.

Brown only lost an arm; he didn't degenerate from an orc warrior into an ordinary person. He can still use many of the abilities that an orc warrior should have.

Orc warriors can detect the tracks left by different wild beasts in the complex environment of the Taz Forest, and can also distinguish their state and situation... so using it to observe the reactions of two children is a very simple thing.

And these two kids were exchanging glances right in front of him... What, do they think he can't see them?

Brown didn't expose the cub on the spot, but he felt that some things should be discussed privately between himself and the cub. In a one-on-one setting, the child would be more willing to tell the truth.

Jiang Luoluo hesitated for a moment, then thought of a joke she'd seen online: chuckle foolishly before speaking, and people will think you're an "idiot," making it easier for them to accept whatever you say.

Brown glanced at the cub indifferently and said directly, "Bring me the cloth bag."

"Spicy!" Jiang Luoluo was stunned for a moment, then screamed inwardly. The two roasted chili peppers that she and Mao had each eaten were wrapped in layers of grass leaves and placed in the burlap backpack behind her.

Neither Ge nor He had ever touched Jiang Luoluo's things before, so Jiang Luoluo never thought of hiding them elsewhere.

I never expected Brown to be so direct.

Brown took the burlap backpack from the cub, opened it immediately, and immediately identified his target, picking up something that was rolled into a ball by grass leaves.

Peel off the outermost blades of grass, and two white tufts fell out.

The brown grass continued to peel away, revealing another layer of leaves, and two pieces of stinky flower leaves fell out.

Dismantle it again, and you get a white, single-headed plant; dismantle it again, and you get a stinky

Brown kept unpacking the grass leaf bundle, which was the size of a baby's head, until it was the size of a fist, before he could see the two fire flowers inside, each with a corner missing.

"Luo!" He was truly angry.

But before angrily disciplining the disobedient cub, Brown first squatted down, pried open the cub's mouth, and examined the inside of the cub's still swollen and red mouth.

Upon seeing the cub's swollen tongue and mouth, Brown squeezed his eyes shut, not wanting his expression to frighten the cub.

After taking a few deep breaths, Brown picked up the cub and went next door to call over the bewildered Mao, and they went up the mountain to find the shaman.
