Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 234 Sour Fruit Tree Seeds

Its shape is a very irregular oval.

If a shape can be considered an ellipse if it has several straight sides, then it is elliptical.

Surprisingly, the lenses were polished very clearly and did indeed have a magnifying effect.

It's clear that Nan studied very seriously to be able to make it like this... The ugly appearance only proves that this is something Nan worked hard to learn and create.

Jiang Luoluo was a little surprised. In fact, that incident happened a long time ago, and she herself had forgotten about it. She didn't expect that Nan had not forgotten it and had been working hard on it.

Moreover, Jiang Luoluo remembered that after the leader Jing found out about this, he gave Nan a severe beating.

Jiang Luoluo thought that the matter was over after Chief Jing beat up Nan, since Chief Jing had given Jiang Luoluo other compensation afterwards.

Although she might not need it much, it was still the result of Nan's hard work over a long period of time, so Jiang Luoluo decided to treasure it.

Maybe when I grow up and take it out, Nan will see how badly I made it when I was a child, and it will become some kind of embarrassing history.

Oh right! Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized that she could collect more of her friends' embarrassing moments now and "tease" them when she grew up, which would definitely be very interesting.

Despite harboring some "malice" towards her friends, Jiang Luoluo explored the mountaintop and discovered many interesting things.

There are some strangely shaped dried leaves that, when pressed, produce a sound similar to that of some kind of wild animal.

It is often used to attract or scare away a particular wild animal.

Jiang Luoluo asked the tribesman who exchanged the item with great curiosity whether the sound was the original function of the leaf, or whether it was made into a specific shape after being dried, in order to make such a sound.

The answer was that the ability to mimic the call was simply the plant's own leaf function, and that it was made into a dried shape for easier storage.

Another member of the tribe brought out a magical stone that could glow.

Hmm... it's the kind of stone that needs to be exposed to sunlight all day during the day, and then it will emit a very faint, weak glow at night.

Jiang Luoluo recognized it at a glance. It should be fluorite that glows, and it is also the kind of common luminous stone. It immediately made people worry that there might be some radiation hazard.

But after thinking about it, I remembered that fluorite itself does not actually cause radiation damage. The dangerous ones are usually the associated minerals of fluorite, such as uranium.

No matter how Jiang Luoluo looked at it, she felt that this translucent crystal stone should be a very pure fluorite without any impurities.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

However, out of a sense of cherishing her own life, Jiang Luoluo did not exchange the fluorite and warned the clansman who took out the fluorite to be careful.

Don't get too close to this rock in your daily life, as it might have some impact on your health.

The tribesmen who were reminded laughed heartily, then patted Jiang Luoluo's head and told her not to worry, as the stone had been examined by the shaman and was free of any poison.

The tribe referred to the radiation from the minerals as toxic.

That's right, they already knew that some stones were radioactive and should not be approached, but they didn't know it was radiation; instead, they treated it as some kind of toxin.

Seeing Jiang Luoluo's concerned reminder, the tribesman took a dried tree seed, about the size of a fingernail, from his stall and let Jiang Luoluo put it in her mouth.

Jiang Luoluo did as she was curious.

The clansmen then told Jiang Luoluo to gently bite the seed with her teeth.

Jiang Luoluo made it again... "Wow, it's so sour!"

Jiang Luoluo's entire face scrunched up, and the clansmen and the others around her immediately burst into laughter.

Just as Jiang Luoluo thought she had been tricked by her clansmen with a prank, she felt a bite taken from the tree seed, which had a strong sour smell, but then it also emitted a very strong sweet smell.

It's like eating an extremely sour candy; because you feel the extreme sourness first, the sweetness that follows becomes even more pronounced.

Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened in surprise, "It's so sweet!"

The tribespeople explained with a smile, "These are the seeds of the sour fruit tree. They usually taste extremely sour, but after drying the seeds, you can put them in your mouth like this and taste a very sweet flavor with just a gentle bite."

"If you feel that it has no taste, you can take another bite."

The taste of a tree seed can usually linger in your mouth for a long time.

However, few people in the tribe would go out of their way to pick and dry these things. So they are relatively novel.

Seeing Jiang Luoluo's curious expression, the tribesman quickly handed her several more tree seeds, saying, "Here, have these too, eat them."

Jiang Luoluo didn't take it for free; she took one of the beautiful feathers he had exchanged with Shou Heyuan and gave it to him as a token of their exchange.

It wasn't until very late, until the night snow began to fall, that the people on the mountaintop reluctantly began to leave one by one.

Because everyone knows that for a long time to come, they won't have the opportunity to come out like this again.

Jiang Luoluo returned home with her abundant spoils, and it took her a whole day to tidy everything up.

On the third day after the exchange ended, the tribe was hit by a continuous heavy snowfall.

Every morning when Jiang Luoluo woke up, she would see that the heavy snow had completely blocked the entrance to the cave.

Meanwhile, Ge worked tirelessly and persistently to clear the snow from in front of the cave entrance.

We have to clear it; otherwise, the snow that has accumulated to a height of several meters will block the entire cave.

The cave was already sealed off on three sides, with only one entrance for ventilation. If it were covered by heavy snow, people would suffocate inside.

Before suffocating, the fire might have gone out first, and without a fire to maintain the temperature inside the cave...

It is still unknown whether they will freeze to death first or suffocate first.

Jiang Luoluo and Ge were not keen on trying it out, so whenever it was snowing outside, Ge would diligently clear the snow from the cave entrance every day.

Fortunately, you don't need to go out much during the snow season, and there's not much to do. Clearing snow won't interfere with other things.

Meanwhile, the temperature is also continuously decreasing.

Jiang Luoluo first realized that the snow season, which terrified the tribe, had truly arrived when she was woken up by the cold one night.

The fire was still burning, its light flickering in the cave, but Jiang Luoluo suddenly felt extremely cold.

My fingertips and toes became icy cold.

Ge snapped back to reality and saw Jiang Luoluo, wrapped in an animal skin blanket, sitting in front of a fire warming herself.

"Is it cold, Luo?"

Ge possessed a beast-like power that maintained his body temperature, making him less sensitive to temperature than Jiang Luoluo. However, he quickly assessed the situation based on Jiang Luoluo's behavior and was filled with worry.
