Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 206 No Name +3

Because it was still early in the morning, and Zhuang wasn't the kind of diligent kid who liked to be the first to train every day, he hadn't gone to Xiaoshishan yet.

So Jiang Luoluo and Ge quickly intercepted Zhuang on the only way to Xiaoshishan.

When Zhuang first saw Jiang Luoluo and Ge, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that he hadn't woken up in the morning and had mistaken them for real. It wasn't until he got closer that he finally realized who they were.

Jiang Luoluo hadn't been to Xiaoshishan for a long time, and she hadn't seen Zhuang for quite some time either.

Zhuang doesn't seem like Xi. Xi is, after all, a little girl, and she and Jiang Luoluo have more to talk about. Jiang Luoluo used to go to play with Xi alone.

However, if Zhuang is strong, he can basically only meet Jiang Luoluo on Xiaoshishan Mountain, and when he plays with Jiang Luoluo, he can also casually join her friend list.

"Zhuang, are your parents home? I need to talk to them."

Jiang Luoluo asked very directly. A child like Zhuang, who is extremely simple-minded, will not understand many things unless they are explained clearly.

To avoid Zhuang guessing and adding his own ideas, which could lead to a miscommunication, Jiang Luoluo chose to speak frankly.

“My father is home. He just came back from mining a couple of days ago and won’t be going out again. My mother isn’t home; she went out again. Is there something you need from them, Luo?”

Zhuang looked on with curiosity.

"Yes, I do have something to ask your parents. It would be best if your father were here. Could you please take me to him? I don't know your father, and I don't know how to start the conversation if I just go there directly."

Jiang Luoluo looked at Zhuang with a slightly expectant gaze.

Zhuang scratched his head. "It's possible, but I already told happy yesterday that I'd train with her this morning."

"How about I go with you to see my dad when I get back at noon?" Zhuang clapped his hands, feeling like he had come up with a good idea.

Jiang Luoluo and Ge exchanged a glance, then looked at Zhuang and said in a very tactful tone, "Uh... actually, I'm mainly looking for your father. You just need to take us to see him; you don't need to follow us around."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang immediately showed a look of astonishment, as if the sky had fallen. "Ah, what's going on? You didn't take me with you?"

Zhuang felt he should be a very important person. If Luo had any problems, how could he not take him along? Could the matter be resolved without him?

"But didn't you make a promise with happy?" Jiang Luoluo retorted, using her own words to support her.

Zhuang suddenly looked enlightened, then hesitated, "Alright then, I'll take you to find my father first, and then I'll go find happy."

“However…” Zhuang looked at Jiang Luoluo, “After you finish this, you must tell me what you wanted to talk to my father about.”

"Okay." Jiang Luoluo nodded in agreement, blinking her eyes. "But, if you go home, you can just ask your father, right?"

Zhuang blinked, giving him a matter-of-fact look. "How can they be the same?"

Jiang Luoluo thought Zhuang would say something like, "What you told me is what you told me, and what my father told me is what my father told me."

Zhuang then confidently declared, "How could my father possibly tell me something like this! I'm lucky he didn't beat me up."

Jiang Luoluo fell silent. Well, she had overestimated his strength.

Jiang Luoluo and Ge arrived very early; Zhuang's father hadn't even had time to leave yet.

Zhuang's father and mother were both from the same clan as the mining team. Back when they were young—before Zhuang was born—they were often partners in the same mining team when they went out on missions.

However, since Zhuang was born, the couple had to work at different times to participate in the mining team's missions because one of them had to stay behind to take care of the child.

Most of the members of the mining teams are actually absorbed internally.

After all, a single mission can last for several months, leaving little time to spend with other members of the tribe, while they are constantly with their companions. It's perfectly normal to develop feelings for them.

There's still some time before the snow season, so Zhuang's father has returned to the tribe, which means Zhuang's mother will have to take turns going out until the snow season arrives, at which point she'll come back.

The rainy and snowy seasons are rare times for them to reunite, but if they cannot store enough food before these two special periods, then these precious times together become torture.

Zhuang's father was furious. When he saw Zhuang returning home, he frowned and glared at him, "Didn't you go to Little Stone Mountain? Why are you back again?"

Then he noticed Jiang Luoluo and Ge following behind Zhuang, his expression showing no sign of softening. "Who are you?"

Ge quickly stepped forward to explain his purpose, "We have some questions about the ore that we would like to know, so we came to find you."

Jiang Luoluo chimed in, "Nu, don't blame Zhuang. I asked him to bring us to see you."

He glared at the well-behaved and adorable Jiang Luoluo, his brows furrowing again. "Is that so? Now that he's brought you here, let's hurry to Little Stone Mountain."

He angrily started to chase people away, his expression showing impatience, but his tone was not agitated.

Jiang Luoluo then realized that Nu wasn't actually angry; rather, his facial features naturally gave him an imposing presence, making any expression he made look like he was angry.

"Okay." Zhuang, who wanted to hear what else was said, left the door, looking back every few steps, but heard nothing.

Jiang Luoluo asked cautiously and adorably, "Nu, you don't have anything important to do today, right? We won't bother you, will we?"

"If you're busy today, we can come this afternoon, or tomorrow or the day after."

He shook his head angrily. "Not busy. It's just some wood-gathering work to prepare for the snow season. It won't be done anytime soon. Ask me anything you want to know."

"Come in, come in and warm yourself by the fire. It's windy and cold at the door, don't let it chill you."

Despite her angry expression, she spoke words of gentleness that Zhuang had never heard before.
