Chapter 221: Covering one’s ears and stealing the bell
When Tutu woke up again, she was about to get up and stretch her muscles.
When she turned around, she saw Jin Jin sitting on the other bed, staring at her.
Tutu was so frightened that he shivered and couldn't help complaining, "What are you doing? You didn't say anything, but just stared at me and scared me."
Jin Jin didn't say anything, but just pointed at the bed where she was sitting, then pointed at herself, with a glimmer of expectation in her eyes.
Seeing her expression, Tutu nodded quickly: "Yes, this bed is for you, do you like it?"
As soon as the words fell, Jin Jin's eyes lit up with surprise.
She gently touched the wooden bed beneath her, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
Jin Jin lay back on the bed again, turned her head and looked at Tu Tu deeply, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. She asked softly:
"Do you know why I didn't allow you to go to the mainland before?"
When Tutu heard this, she realized that this was a story, so she quickly lay down, turned to Jinjin, and asked curiously with a well-behaved look on her face:
"Is it because you were hurt by orcs on the mainland before?"
Jin Jin lowered his eyes, as if he was lost in distant memories.
She sighed and slowly told her story: "Actually, I was just like you, Tutu, and I came to the mainland by accident."
"But once I arrived on the mainland, I was lucky enough to be picked up by an orc."
"The time I spent in the Orc Tribe was a happy time that I will never forget in my life."
"Every day there are delicious fruits and food, endless beautiful clothes to wear, and all kinds of fun toys..."
Speaking of this, Jin Jin's face showed a hint of melancholy, but also full of expectation.
Tutu was fascinated by the story. She seemed to be able to imagine Jinjin's happy life in the orc tribe.
She couldn't help but ask, "What happened next? What happened?"
Jin Jin slowly told her story.
It was a sunny summer day and the sunlight was so dazzling.
It was clearly morning and everything was normal. Jinjin and the orcs were playing and laughing.
However, who could have predicted that a sudden disaster would break this tranquility.
The strange beasts came from nowhere in astonishing numbers and attacked the tribe frantically.
For a time, the entire tribe fell into chaos and panic.
Jin Jin watched helplessly as the orcs who once played and frolicked with her fell one by one under the claws of the strange beasts. The corpses strewn all over the ground were horrifying.
She cried and shouted, asking the orcs to flee quickly.
However, they did not heed her advice.
The male orcs stood up firmly and used their bodies to build a line of defense for the females and cubs, trying to find a way for them to escape.
However, the number of strange beasts was so great that they came like a tide and could not be counted.
Although the orcs fought hard, they were ultimately unable to withstand the fierce attacks of the alien beasts.
They roared and told Jinjin to run away quickly, but Jinjin refused to leave.
She would rather die with them than escape alone.
But in the end, only Jin Jin survived the cruel disaster.
As luck would have it, the green leaf cloud appeared.
The tribesmen stuffed Jin Jin into the green leaf cloud, hoping that she could escape the catastrophe.
Jin Jin was unwilling to leave alone. She took out the fruit that could shrink her body and begged the orcs to eat it with her. After shrinking, she hid in the green leaf clouds and returned to the tribe together.
She couldn't accept the reality that she had to escape alone.
However, those orcs were very stubborn.
They knew that the Green Leaf Cloud had limited space and could not accommodate too many people.
More importantly, the females and cubs fell one by one. What was the point of these male orcs living...
So the orcs cruelly stuffed Jin Jin into the green leaf cloud and threw it into the sky along with the cloud.
Jin Jin struggled and shouted in the cloud of green leaves, but to no avail.
She watched the orcs being buried by the strange beasts, her heart filled with endless grief and despair.
After the green leaf cloud receives each member of the tribe, it will wrap them layer by layer to form a protective shield to prevent external harm.
However, this protective shield also restricted their freedom, preventing them from flying out and trapping them in the middle of the green leaf cloud.
Jin Jin spent a long and painful time in the green leaf cloud, and she could not forget the sacrificed orcs.
After Jinjin returned to the tribe, her heart was filled with endless grief and longing.
She desperately wanted to return to the tribe that was once full of joy and warmth, but fear weighed on her heart like a mountain.
She was afraid that when she returned, she would only see countless bones and her home occupied by strange beasts.
Whenever she thought of that sunny summer day, her heart ached.
That experience became her eternal pain and shadow.
The feeling of helplessness and despair kept her awake all night long, and she kept having recurring nightmares about the disaster.
Her health deteriorated and she seemed like she might collapse at any time.
However, the clan leader would not allow her to give up her life just like that.
The chief took out a bunch of fruits that could help people sleep peacefully, and watched her eat them every day, hoping that she could come out of her pain.
"You must live and live happily," the chief said to her earnestly, "otherwise those orcs will have died in vain."
"From now on, you are not only a female of the White Cloud Tribe, you are also a female of the White Elephant Tribe! As long as you are here, the tribe will be here!"
It was this firm belief that supported Jin Jin and helped her gradually come out of the pain.
She began to try to accept reality and strive to keep herself alive.
However, as she gradually recovered, she discovered that the tribe was full of rumors that the orcs were vicious and cunning...
Jin Jin originally intended to explain that the orcs were not as vicious and cunning as rumored. They were gentle, kind, and enthusiastic...
But she hesitated.
She thought that perhaps making the females of the tribe respect the continent and stop being curious about it would protect them from harm.
In this way, no other female would have to witness her beloved tribesmen die one by one like she did.
So she chose to remain silent, and even gradually followed others in unconsciously discrediting the orcs.
"So you are discrediting your own people?" After listening to Jinjin's story, Tutu's little face was full of confusion.
Jin Jin laughed at himself: "Yes! Am I ridiculous like this?"
Tutu nodded and said seriously: "Using Yi Feng's words, you are afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once."
Jin Jin frowned slightly: "What is a well rope?"
"Don't mind your business!" Tutu put his hands on his hips and said, "You are just trying to cover up your mistake!"
"What is a bell? Why would I steal it?"
"Oh, you illiterate person, stay out of it!"
"Illiterate? What is illiterate?"
"You have so many questions!"
"I'm asking because I don't understand. Don't you understand it yourself?"
"nonsense!"
