Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 208 No Name, Add 1 More

Jiang Luoluo felt really bad about accepting such a large piece of gold.

In the eyes of her tribesmen, this thing was only pretty and had no value, but in her eyes it was different. In Jiang Luoluo's eyes, it was a huge treasure.

Finally, seeing how much the cub really liked it but kept refusing, I snapped off a piece about the size of a fist.

His firm attitude made it impossible to refuse. "That piece is too big, Luo, you probably can't carry it, that's why you've been refusing it. Here, I'll give you a smaller piece, so you can take it back."

Jiang Luoluo wanted to argue that she could lift it, even if it was hundreds of kilograms of gold! But her sense of morality prevented her from taking such a large piece of gold from her clansmen who didn't know its value.

If it were a transaction with a stranger, that would be easy to explain; it would be that Jiang Luoluo had exceptional insight and "picked up" such a large piece of gold from a pile of broken stones.

Ke Nu was not a stranger; he was a member of Jiang Luoluo's clan and the father of Zhuang, Jiang Luoluo's friend.

Most importantly, anger wasn't something he bought or sold; he gave it to Jiang Luoluo for free!

Jiang Luoluo did nothing, so how could she accept such a large piece of gold with a clear conscience?

Looking at the fist-sized gold that had been forcibly stuffed into her arms, Jiang Luoluo knew she could no longer refuse.

Feeling guilty for having gotten such a good deal, Jiang Luoluo wanted to do something to make amends. So she looked at Nu seriously and said, "Nu, thank you for the gold and stones you gave me. You must keep the rest safe. They will definitely be very useful in the future."

Nu Dao didn't ignore the cub's reminder, nor did he give it a perfunctory answer. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Does Luo know the use of this kind of gold and stone?"

Jiang Luoluo nodded reluctantly. In truth, besides knowing that gold was stable, she didn't know much else. "Gold is... a conductor, it can... conduct electricity? It's flexible, it can be stretched many times over, and it's easy to forge into various shapes..."

Jiang Luoluo tried hard to find other concepts about gold in her mind besides its monetary value.

Unfortunately, what impressed her most was the sight of her relatives adorned with gold jewelry from head to toe when she visited them each year.

I don't know if it's true or not... Anyway, her older cousin's big gold chain is fake, and it's even fading.

No... that's not what you're thinking about. Get your stubborn mind back on track!

Just as Jiang Luoluo was racking her brains to describe more, anger interrupted her thoughts.

"Alright, Luo, you're a good boy," he said with a laugh.

"It may be a treasure in your eyes, but it can't be exchanged for prey in the tribe."

"It may only be of value in your hands, but if you don't want it, I won't force you to accept it."

Angrily ruffled the cub's head. The cub's expression was always very clear, and it was easy to guess what it was thinking. "I will keep these gold and stones safe. You can come back here to take them whenever you need them."

Despite her anger, she still gave the gold stone to Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo could no longer refuse. She had never imagined that everyone in the tribe could see things so clearly.

She imagined the tribespeople to be innocent, honest, and simple-minded, with the exception of a few clever ones, most of them not thinking much and simply going through the motions of a repetitive life.

But it's just like the simple principle of "do what you can do, and do something else if you can't do it".

"The value of something depends on the person who discovers and uses it; if they can't, then it should be given to the person who can." This principle is deeply ingrained in the minds of the people.

Jiang Luoluo thought that perhaps it was precisely because her people had simple minds that they were able to see through the essence of things and judge the good or bad of a matter from the root.

For example, greed has no value to an incompetent person.

Therefore, no member of the tribe would covet something they could not control.

Jiang Luoluo thought about many things, and even when she returned, she was still somewhat absent-minded.

Then she saw two figures blocking her front door.

"happy and Zhuang? What are you two doing here?" Jiang Luoluo asked in surprise.

"Luo, I..." happy Cai had just opened his mouth when Zhuang, who was standing next to him, spoke first and finished telling the whole story.

"Luo, it's like this, I went to Little Stone Mountain a little late, and happy asked me unhappily why I was so late. I told her about meeting you, and Xi asked me what I wanted to do. I said I didn't know, and happy called me an idiot. Then happy dragged me here to find you."

After Zhuang finished speaking, he repeated, "Luo, happy calls me an idiot."

Jiang Luoluo's jumbled thoughts were interrupted, and she couldn't help but laugh, "But it's no use telling me."

She's only seven years old and can't be the decision-maker between them. We need to find an older child who's more capable than both of them.

Zhuang shook his head. "It's useful. happy is smarter than me, and Luo is smarter than happy. You can call her an idiot too, that's fair."

"You idiot!" happy, who was standing nearby, was so angry that her face turned red. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to fight Zhuang.

Although happy's strength on Little Stone Mountain is not outstanding, she is older than the others and has a physical advantage, so she can still gain the upper hand in a fight.

Jiang Luoluo quickly stepped forward to mediate the fight. Fortunately, Zhuang didn't intend to fight Xi; he just wanted Jiang Luoluo to "insult" him back. Xi, who disliked fighting, stopped fighting after Jiang Luoluo pulled him back.

He simply stopped giving Zhuang a friendly look.

"Alright, alright, it's so cold, let's go inside and warm up by the fire." Jiang Luoluo coaxed the two of them into the cave first.

The supervision on Xiaoshishan Mountain is lax, and if the children want to "skip class," no one cares. As long as they don't leave Yinfeng Mountain, they can wander around however they want without any problem.

Anyway, the final "final exam" is a brawl. If they skip classes and don't train all day, they won't be able to beat the others when it comes to fighting, and the extra beatings they get will be the price they pay for skipping classes.

As long as the children learn what they are supposed to learn, that's fine.
