Chapter 10 Spicy Rabbit Head: Neither Spicy nor Numbing
Chapter 10 Spicy Rabbit Head: Neither Spicy nor Numbing
"Luo!" He waved to Jiang Luoluo, who was unconsciously clinging to the stone in the corner.
Jiang Luolu tilted her head in confusion, wondering why the other person had called her, but she still stood up... Only then did she remember that she was still holding the stone, and that she was holding it with one hand.
Jiang Luoluo put the stone down and jogged over.
"You come along too, Luo." Brown pointed to the other children who were practicing their boxing stances and spoke to Jiang Luoluo.
Since he had promised Ge to help take care of Luo, He would do so diligently. However, he didn't have much experience taking care of young children, and he himself was not married—the youngest children in Little Stone Mountain were all ten years old.
Because of the loss of an arm, Brown can no longer join the hunting team to hunt. Apart from being the person in charge of Little Stone Mountain and receiving a fixed amount of food each time, he can only occasionally obtain some prey in the forest near Big Stone Mountain.
How could anyone be willing to form a family with someone like him who doesn't have a stable source of food?
The tribe did not have farming or herding; hunting and gathering were the only means of sustenance. Orc warriors were not divided into men and women, and families did not rely entirely on men to support them.
However, in a normal and healthy family, both the man and woman should take turns going to the hunting party, bringing back enough food while giving each other enough rest time, and also being able to maintain the family's food supply if the other is injured while hunting.
Because of his injury, the brown man lost his ability to hunt. After forming a family, he could only rely on his partner to hunt to maintain the family's food supply. Without a strong emotional foundation, neither the man nor the woman could accept such a sacrifice.
So He has remained single until now.
Although Brown didn't know how to take care of young children, he knew one thing very well from his many years of understanding of the children of Little Rock Mountain—children don't like to be isolated, nor can they be isolated.
This is especially important for children who are different from other children. We need to help them integrate into the group and be accepted by the other children.
Of course, He was only taking care of Luo for this one day and hadn't considered getting all the children to accept Luo yet. He just felt that Luo couldn't be left alone in a corner watching everyone else; he had to get Luo involved.
Most of the tribe knew that Luo was unable to speak due to poisoning, after all, she was the only survivor of that accident and had ended up like this.
What is the first step to integrating into a group? — It is to do what everyone else is doing.
So, even though she was not old enough to train and was only six years old, Jiang Luoluo followed a group of teenagers and began to learn boxing stances in a daze.
The boxing stances here are not the kind of smooth movements that you do from beginning to end like doing calisthenics, but rather a series of starting stances... and only starting stances.
To help children maintain their memory and proficiency in the boxing stance, the instructors require them to hold the stance until they can no longer maintain it before moving on to the next movement.
Therefore, children don't have much patience for practicing boxing stances. They are at an age where they are lively and active, and who wants to stay in one position for several minutes without moving?
Jiang Luoluo agreed.
To be honest, these movements were no different for Jiang Luoluo from the yoga she did every day to lose weight...
Even yoga poses are a bit more incredible.
Children are flexible and can easily do many things that adults cannot, such as splits and backbends.
After teaching the children boxing stances and adjusting their movements for half a day, Brown was hoarse from talking. When he turned around and saw Jiang Luoluo, he remembered that she was only six years old and needed extra attention.
Surprisingly, Jiang Luoluo's boxing skills were much stronger than those of the other children, except for the oldest ones who would participate in the sacrificial ceremony next year to activate their beastman bloodline.
Moreover, she doesn't move at all, and she stays in one position for as long as you ask her to, she's so obedient and well-behaved!
If that's the case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to continue taking care of Ge for another day tomorrow, He thought to himself.
Without much effort or thought, after seeing so many disobedient children, looking back at Luo will bring a sense of comfort.
It wasn't until around 11 a.m. that Jiang Luoluo could only rely on her experience to judge the time since there was no clock.
Young Ge came to pick up Jiang Luoluo and take her home.
When they saw that young Ge was carrying an animal that looked like a rabbit, the children, including Jiang Luoluo, were very excited.
"It's a rabbit!" a child shouted.
Bunny? Jiang Luoluo blinked. How come these kids are talking so cutely now?
“We found a rabbit burrow over at the Big Rock Mountain. There were more than a dozen rabbits in total. I caught several. This one is for you, Brown. Thank you for taking care of Luo for me.” Young Ge handed the rabbit to Brown.
Jiang Luoluo finally understood; it was a "earth rabbit," not a "rabbit."
Brown refused, but the young man shoved the rabbit into his arms, picked up Jiang Luoluo, and left. Brown, who only had one hand, instinctively grabbed the rabbit, missing his chance to stop the young man. He could only watch as the young man ran off and disappeared quickly into the platform of the small rocky hill.
Jiang Luoluo felt the boy Ge hugging her, at a speed that seemed to fly... This was much faster than an electric scooter?
It took me more than half an hour to walk there, but it didn't even take ten minutes to walk back.
Jiang Luoluo had been wondering why the tribe, which seemed to have only a few thousand people, had such scattered settlements.
It turns out that everyone's travel speed is equivalent to having their own electric car—maybe as fast as a motorcycle at full speed? —In that case, it doesn't have much of an impact even at a greater distance, and it even increases the usable area of everyone's housing.
Nowadays, Jiang Luoluo no longer feels any emotional turmoil about the fact that everyone in the tribe has superhuman physical abilities. It's normal, everything is normal.
Young Ge wasn't lying. When he returned to his cave, Jiang Luoluo saw four rabbits lying on the ground.
The rabbits, a litter of more than a dozen, were caught by young Ge and two other tribesmen. After they caught them, they were divided up, and young Ge got five rabbits. He just gave one to He.
Looking at the rabbits, Jiang Luoluo suddenly recalled many ways of cooking rabbits.
Hehe, spicy rabbit head... Oh no, it's neither spicy nor numbing, just rabbit head.
Jiang Luoluo showed a hint of disappointment. What could be more painful than eating without seasoning?!
Young Ge paid no attention to the cubs' drastic changes in expression; he was using a stone knife to skin several rabbits.
The rabbit was much larger than the rabbits Jiang Luoluo knew; it was about the size of a medium-sized dog, and its fur was also quite large.
Thinking of how uncomfortable the cub looked sleeping on the hay last night, and how it only felt a little better after being padded with a bunch of animal skins, young Ge thought of catching some prey to make an animal skin mat for the cub.
Although it was said to be a chance discovery, young Ge had actually searched around intentionally before finding this nest of rabbits.
Otherwise, who would deliberately catch a rabbit whose flesh is bitter and fishy to eat? It's only because the rabbit's fur is soft enough that it has some value.
