Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 5 The Cave Door

By the time the boy calmed down, it was already dark, with only the fire in the cave flickering and emitting light.

Jiang Luoluo was packing up the things the boy had brought back. Her small body seemed to have inexhaustible energy, and she hadn't stopped to rest at all.

Jiang Luoluo didn't know what was going on. Her body was only that of a six-year-old, but her strength was terrifying.

That piece of wood must have weighed at least 10 or 20 kilograms, but she, a six-year-old child, could easily lift it up.

Is he born with superhuman strength? Jiang Luoluo looked at the boy's expression, which showed no surprise whatsoever, and shook her head inwardly. Perhaps the children here were just born extraordinary; she wasn't the exception.

She could sense this from the moment she woke up. At first, she thought her body was at least seven or eight years old, and even if she was malnourished and looked thin and small, she wouldn't be more than ten years old.

Who would have thought that she was only six years old!

You call this six years old?! This isn't malnutrition at all, it's overnutrition!

Looking at the young Ge, he was only sixteen years old, but he was strong and over 1.8 meters tall, while the tribesmen he saw along the way were all over 1.9 meters tall, and it was common for them to be over 2 meters tall.

Even the seemingly slender young witch is actually over 1.9 meters tall.

Jiang Luoluo thought that people in this world were probably just this tall, so maybe she could break through the limit and grow to 1.7 meters... Wait a minute, it seems that some of the female members of her tribe are also over two meters tall.

Will she grow to two meters tall too?!

Jiang Luoluo suddenly turned her head to look at the cave entrance and exclaimed, "Why is the cave entrance so big? I didn't know people really could grow that tall!"

Young Ge was trying to calm himself down. Besides being moved by the care he received from his people, he was also a little embarrassed to cry in front of the innocent cubs.

He was the one who decided to take care of the cubs, but in the end, he was the one being taken care of by the cubs.

Watching the cub spread everything out on the ground and carefully tidy it up, it seemed as if some color was added to the gloom that had settled in young Ge's heart after the accident.

Fresh and bright.

Seeing the cub suddenly look up at the cave entrance, young Ge guessed and got up to say, "Is it feeling a little cold? Luo, I'll close the door right away."

A gust of wind blew in at just the right moment, and a chill appeared on the boy Ge's tear-stained face. He quickly lowered his head and wiped his face with his arm.

A door? What door? A cave has a door? Jiang Luolu blinked in confusion.

The entrance to the cave was blocked by a row of wooden planks as thick as a person. The whole piece of wood was cut into three pieces from the middle, each more than ten centimeters thick. They were placed in order to block the entrance of the cave, thus forming a "door".

Because of the years, the wooden planks were covered with various rainwater stains, and they looked like they had blended into the color of the cave. Jiang Luoluo did not realize that those wooden planks, which were more than two meters high, were actually "doors".

On the left and right sides of the cave entrance, there were two stones that reached knee height. At first, Jiang Luoluo didn't know what they were for. But when she saw Ge using these two stones to fix the wooden planks in the middle, so that they wouldn't be easily knocked down by strong winds or anything else, she understood their purpose.

"Creak." A wooden plank made a sound and suddenly fell down, revealing a large section of the tightly blocked hole.

Young Ge frowned as he lifted the plank and discovered that the plank, which had been used for a long time, was badly worn at the edges and could no longer fit snugly into the hole, which was why it had fallen over.

Just as he was about to turn around and say something, young Ge saw the cub already walking over with a small piece of wood for starting a fire.

The cub gestured, and only then did the young man realize that the cub was telling him that he could use this to plug under the wooden board, and the board would be able to lock the hole again.

The boy, who had originally planned to go out and cut down another tree, blushed instantly, realizing that he wasn't even as smart as a cub!

After resealing the cave entrance, the boy composed himself, his voice slightly hoarse from crying, "Luo, I'll get some more wood tomorrow, and then we'll have a new door."

Although he could use firewood to prop it up and make do, young Go didn't intend to do that. He wanted to give the cub a better life, at least a new door that wouldn't collapse while he slept, something he could do.

Jiang Luoluo agreed with this point. She looked at the wooden plank, which seemed enormous compared to her own size—if something happened to young Ge and he couldn't get home in time, wouldn't she be unable to even close the door?!

We need to replace the door!

But before that, it's time to eat.

Jiang Luoluo touched her stomach. She didn't know when, but the warm feeling in her stomach had disappeared, and a familiar feeling of hunger emerged, making a rumbling sound.

Young Ge quickly said, "Luo, are you hungry? Let's cook right away!"

With that, the boy walked toward the fire.

Since there were no shelves or cabinets, everything was categorized by Jiang Luoluo and neatly arranged next to the meat, making it easy for the boy to see what he was looking for.

At the same time, the boy whispered a compliment to the cub, "Well done, Luo."

The cooking utensil was a black stone pot, about the size of a basin, and it was an irregularly shaped circle that could be seen to have been hand-polished.

Because it looked very bulky, Jiang Luoluo doubted its purpose for a long time until she saw the young man Ge place it on the fire, and then she finally realized its function.

Indeed, along the way, what Jiang Luoluo saw most were various stone and wooden tools, and everyone was wearing either animal skins or hemp cloth—Jiang Luoluo was wearing a small hemp cloth outfit.

It must have been made by the young witch using her own clothes.

Because the linen clothes worn by the other people were not as good as the linen clothes worn by the young witch... they were softer, smoother, and more comfortable.

In such a backward era, Jiang Luoluo didn't expect to be able to cook with a big iron pot.

Young Ge placed the black stone pot on one side of the fire, because the other side would also be used to roast meat, so the pot couldn't be placed in the middle.

Setting up a stone pot involves using two other stones of a specific shape as supports for the pot, which is very primitive.

The campfire was surrounded by a ring of broken stones, presumably to prevent the flames from spreading and setting the cave ablaze. Jiang Luoluo squatted down next to the ring of stones, watching the young man Ge cook.

Seeing that the young man Ge had filled a water vat next to him with some water and poured it into a stone pot, he was preparing to add something to cook.

Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened immediately, and she quickly grabbed the boy... Could food made like this really be eaten?!

Even if it's edible, will it really taste good?!
