Chapter 308 The Problem
The beastmen from the two tribes gathered together in a harmonious and enthusiastic atmosphere.
After a thorough exchange, their relationship became increasingly close, and they enjoyed their conversation immensely.
As night fell, as expected, Ruan Mianmian and her people decided to stay overnight at the beaver tribe.
Upon learning this news, Jiang, the leader of the beaver tribe, immediately took action. He ordered his tribesmen to go out and catch more fish so that they could warmly entertain these distinguished guests who had come from afar.
Moreover, this was also a sincere expression of gratitude to the leaders of the eastern tribes for teaching them how to store food.
In an instant, the entire beaver tribe became bustling with activity.
Every member of the tribe here is a skilled fisherman. Both male and female fish eagerly rush out, like a school of joyful fish, swarming towards the river.
Meanwhile, Ruan Mianmian was not idle either.
She turned to Ye beside her and said with a smile, "Ye, why don't you lead some of the tribesmen to explore the area and see if there are any other prey to catch? After all, just eating fish won't fill our stomachs; we need to roast some meat to satisfy our cravings!"
Ye Xinran accepted the order and quickly selected several strong and robust orcs, and then they embarked on a journey to find prey together.
In the blink of an eye, the once bustling village had been almost entirely deserted, leaving only a few elderly people and children behind, hoping that the villagers who had gone out would return with their bounties.
Ruan Mianmian looked around the tribe and found that only the elderly, weak, sick and disabled remained.
An idea struck her, so she found a corner and began to sort through the herbs she had found along the way.
These herbs can treat common ailments, and since she was staying here, she thought she might as well do what she could.
At this moment, several baby beavers curiously gathered around.
Ruan Mianmian smiled and took out some sweet fruit to share with them. The cubs were overjoyed, chattering and circling around her.
Before long, the fishermen who had gone out to fish returned first, with a bountiful catch.
Jiang Rang was very happy to see Ruan Mianmian getting along well with the cubs.
Then Ye returned with his prey, which turned out to be a huge antlered deer.
As night falls, a campfire is lit, and the aroma of fish and venison fills the air.
People from the two tribes sat together, sharing food, and laughter echoed through the air.
As Ruan Mianmian ate the grilled fish, she felt gratified. This was not just a meal, but also a testament to the deepening friendship between the two tribes.
Everyone ate and exchanged survival tips in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "I wish we could catch this many fish every day from now on."
The beaver orcs fell silent upon hearing his words, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber for a moment.
Ruan Mianmian looked at Jiang curiously and said, "Jiang, aren't you very good at fishing? There doesn't seem to be a shortage of fish in this river, so why would your people say that?"
Before Jiang could speak, He, who was standing next to him, hurriedly said, "There are plenty of fish, but there are long-tailed worms in the river. After a while, they will grow bigger, and then it will be harder for us to catch fish."
Hearing He say this, Jiang sighed deeply and said, "Although our tribe is skilled at diving and fishing, there are still natural enemies in the river. In recent years, the number of long-tailed crickets has been increasing, and our tribesmen get pinched as soon as they go into the water. Some even have their limbs broken. So we dare not go into the water rashly. This is still their less active period. When summer comes, we won't even dare to go to the riverbank."
When Ruan Mianmian heard Jiang say that, she felt a strange sense of familiarity for some reason, and she asked, "What does that long-pinched worm look like?"
That's a very good question. Everyone answered, "It's very big and long, with two big, sharp pincers."
"There are black ones, there are blue ones, there are many colors."
"They have many legs and run very fast."
Ruan Mianmian's eyes lit up, and she said with delight, "I want to know what this is. Actually, it's very easy to deal with."
Everyone looked puzzled.
Ruan Mianmian continued, "I need to go to the riverbank tomorrow to see the specifics. If nothing unexpected happens, the meat inside these long-spined worms is white and tender after peeling off their shells, and it tastes delicious when cooked."
The crowd was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then burst into cheers.
Jiang looked at Ruan Mianmian excitedly and said, "If that's really the case, then we'll never have to worry about the dangers of fishing again."
