Chapter 51 Meeting New Friends
Chapter 51 Meeting New Friends
Mao is currently ill and cannot return to deal with the cabin matter in time.
Brown was very worried that while Mao was sick, something would happen to his wooden house and destroy everything inside.
So she discussed with Jiang Luoluo about helping Mao deal with some of the things first, at least taking away the important things from Mao's house that he could.
Jiang Luoluo naturally had no objections, and was even quite capable of taking action. She immediately pulled He out the door, leaving Mao struggling with the animal skin blanket that he couldn't lift.
The burlap backpacks that had been sewn earlier also played an important role at this time. He carried one in front and one in back, which greatly increased the amount of things he could carry, especially for Brown who only had one arm.
Small, loose items can be thrown directly into the backpack. Larger, foldable items can be tied to the bottom of the backpack, and items that can be tied up can be hung on the backpack bag with hemp rope or straw rope.
The problem with Hechai has never been his strength, but rather the inconvenience of not being able to hold many things in place with one hand.
Brown also realized that the cloth bag made by the cub was actually very useful—he only lost most of one arm, not the whole thing, so he could still carry the backpack.
Jiang Luoluo was also looking around Mao's house.
The settlements in the tribe are said to be allocated from top to bottom according to status and strength, but this is not entirely accurate. Apart from the chief and shaman having relatively fixed residences, the tribe members live in various ways.
The higher the location, the stronger the required strength to choose—those with strong strength can choose to live in a high place, or they can choose not to.
In addition, there is the possibility that someone chose a place to live when they were of average strength, but later became stronger and was too lazy to move again.
Maojia is located on Yinfeng Mountain, in a relatively central position, and is also the residential area with the most wooden houses.
After all, further down, the dwellings are mostly caves.
There weren't many habitable wooden houses. With the rainy season approaching, all the other groups, except for the hunting teams, set off together, leaving only those who needed to guard the tribe behind.
Unfortunately, besides food, the tribe also lacks other supplies, such as bitter salt. If they can stock up on more before the rainy season, life in the tribe will be easier during the rainy season.
Suddenly, a little girl, about five or six years old, ran out of a wooden house that was emitting smoke. A familiar-looking boy chased after her, shouting, "Yuzu, you've been stealing food again!"
Since her transmigration, Jiang Luoluo had mostly seen the group of children older than herself on Little Stone Mountain. This was the first time she had met a child of about the same age as herself.
The little girl named You also saw Jiang Luoluo. For some reason, she suddenly turned around and ran towards Jiang Luoluo, grabbing her arm.
"Hide, hide." He hid behind Jiang Luoluo.
The teenager chased after her, almost laughing in exasperation at his sister's foolish behavior, but then suddenly realized that the little girl in the animal skin clothes in front of him was Jiang Luoluo.
Having gotten used to seeing Jiang Luoluo in linen clothes, it was a bit of a shock to see her in animal skin clothes... she looked too ordinary.
"You, come out here... Hey, Luo, what are you doing here?"
Recognizing that the boy was one of the children from Little Stone Mountain, whose name seemed to be "Li," Jiang Luoluo nodded in response. With one hand carrying something and the other hand held by You behind her, she couldn't do anything else.
Knowing that Jiang Luoluo couldn't speak, the teenager Li grabbed You from behind Jiang Luoluo and looked behind her.
"Luo, what are you doing here? Oh right, you can't speak. This is Mao's house. Are you here to look for Mao? No, how is Mao?"
Jiang Luoluo didn't know for a moment whether this person really wanted her to answer or didn't want her to answer.
Fortunately, Brown heard the noise and came out of the wooden house to help answer Pear's question.
Pear and Shigeru are about the same age and live nearby. Although they are not exactly best friends, they are not bad friends either. After hearing what Shigeru said, Pear immediately offered to help.
Before Jiang Luoluo could react, the teenager Li had already taken the burlap backpack she was carrying and stuffed it into her younger sister You's hands, completely forgetting about disciplining his sister for stealing food.
"You go play with Luo. Luo can't talk, so don't bully Luo."
Ah... Jiang Luoluo glanced at the figure busy inside the wooden house, then at the child in front of her who was looking at her curiously.
Oh well, she'll just consider it helping take care of the child; she can't really do much work anyway.
"Luo, can't... talk?" You blinked innocently, almost face to face with Jiang Luoluo, her eyes revealing an excitement that Jiang Luoluo couldn't understand.
Jiang Luoluo nodded, not quite understanding what a child of this age was thinking.
"It's okay, I can speak, I'll speak for you!" You smiled contentedly, patting her chest vigorously, looking like she could "leave it to her without worry," though it was unclear who she had learned that from.
Jiang Luoluo glanced at You and felt that she seemed to have a slight stutter. Her pauses in speech were unreasonable. She just didn't know if it was because she was too young and didn't know how to speak well, or if she really stuttered.
It was a bit early to cook fish on the mountaintop; it was actually just lunchtime for the tribe.
You glanced at her brother, who was too busy to pay attention to her, and then pulled Jiang Luoluo to go play with her other friends instead of staying here to watch her brother work.
Jiang Luoluo gave He a brief explanation before leaving with You. Otherwise, she would have nothing to do if she stayed, so she might as well get to know a few more children—in terms of physical age, these children were her peers and her future companions.
It won't hurt to get to know each other beforehand.
"Luo, you can't speak, I'll help you speak!" You loudly introduced to the five or six children who had gathered together, looking quite proud.
Jiang Luoluo paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that the child had insisted on bringing her along, perhaps just for this moment—a child's unique sense of heroism.
However, Jiang Luoluo wouldn't undermine You's kindness. Regardless of whether You wanted to show off her "helping others" ability in front of her companions, she was genuinely trying to help Jiang Luoluo.
Jiang Luoluo didn't react, but one of the little boys among the children laughed out loud, "You can't even speak properly yourself, yet you want to speak for her... Luo, you should let me speak for you, I speak very quickly!"
“I can speak up too! I want to speak up for Luo!” another child immediately chimed in.
Immediately, the other children chimed in, shouting, "Me! Me!" / "Let me do it!"
Jiang Luoluo, who suddenly had several mouth doubles: Huh?
Before Jiang Luoluo could fully react, You, standing beside her, rushed into the group of children with a sullen expression, shouting, "No! You're taking mine! Luoluo is mine!"
...How did a fight break out?
Jiang Luoluo fell into deep thought. Was she really that popular?
