Orc’s Crystal - Chapter 73
When he woke up the next day, before opening his eyes, Jiang Junlin lazily rubbed the quilt, and subconsciously shouted: “Wentd”.
The sound of footsteps came in from the outside, and someone gently pulled off Jiang Junlin’s quilt and smiled and said, “Wented doesn’t have one, Minika has one.”
“…” Jiang Junlin opened his eyes, blinked again, and said, “Mineka, early.”
“Ajaan, early.” Minika replied, then pointed to the window, and said, “Actually, it’s not early.”
Jiang Junlin followed Minika’s hand and looked at the sky. It didn’t take long after dawn. I didn’t sleep until midday today!
“At this time in the past, I was out, and I am still in the house today.” Minika said.
“Going out?” Jiang Junlin got up, grabbed the hair in front of his forehead, and said, “You don’t need to hunt, what do you do when you go out so early?”
“Orc males can only eat meat, but our females need to eat fruits and vegetables! My brother is only in charge of hunting, so we have to do the work of collecting other food by ourselves, so basically every morning, I will collect Fresh fruits or vegetables.” Minika explained as she tidied the quilt on the bed.
“Ah, this way!” Jiang Junlin didn’t care very much, because he hadn’t been collecting for so long, didn’t he still eat well?
As Minika made the bed, he began to take care of himself, only idly asking, “Where did the food Wentard gave me every day, except for meat, come from?”
“Naturally I bought it.” Minika said.
“Since you can buy it in the tribe, why do you go to collect it yourself?” Jiang Junlin didn’t quite understand this kind of hardship.
“I have hands and feet, so I can collect it myself, don’t need to buy it.” Minika shook her head.
“Is it expensive to buy those fresh thin fruits, and your brother makes less money?” The only thing Jiang Junlin can think of is that the money is not enough to spend, so he can only get tired by himself.
In modern times, making money is not just for spending, for enjoyment?
When he was working in a provincial capital, he had money, so he ate out three meals, but he didn’t have money, so he went home and made it by himself. When you travel, you can take a taxi if you have more money, you can squeeze the bus if you have less money, and you can walk if you have no money.
If you don’t use money or enjoy it, who is going to make money!
“It has nothing to do with money.” Minika frowned and said in a preaching tone: “The tribe sells meat and fruit, but these are all sold to people in need, such as Nian. Elderly tribesmen who have lost their strength. But like brothers and Wentard, young and strong, no matter how rich they are, they have to hunt by themselves, and our females, unless they are in poor health, generally collect by themselves.”
“If you have money, you have to work hard!” Jiang Junlin pouted.
Minika frowned and wanted to say something, but looking at Jiang Junlin’s small, weak head, she finally shook her head and said with a smile: “Ajaan doesn’t have to work hard, but Wentd doesn’t want you to suffer. Suffering, of course, I can’t bear it!”
Faced with such obvious jokes, Jiang Junlin blushed slightly, then glared at Minika and jumped out of bed to wash.
Minika didn’t mind, she turned around and went to the kitchen to bring her breakfast. As soon as it was set on the table, Jiang Junlin came back and said, “Hurry up and eat! After the meal, I have to go. Are you at home alone or with me? “
Jiang Junlin sat down, took his chopsticks, and asked, “Where are you going?”
“Go pick fresh fruits, there is nothing to do anyway, I will pickle preserved fruits for you in the afternoon.” Minika explained.
Jiang Junlin thought for a while and said, “Then I will be with you.”
“Haha, good.” Minika smiled, and he was happy to bring Jiang Junlin with him.
After eating and tidying up, Minika carried a rattan basket made of some kind of ivy and took Jiang Junlin out.
The tribe is in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the females do not come out of the tribe. Therefore, the daily collection is at the foot of the hills around the tribe, especially the sparsely populated back mountains. Fortunately, these places are rich in vegetation and can fully satisfy the tribe. Female requirements.
Jiang Junlin followed Minika back, passing by the temple, and then back. The number of orc warriors patrolling on the road gradually decreased, but from time to time, the tribe could be seen flying by in the sky.
Soon there were no buildings around, and there were tall and short weeds in front of them, among which there was a path that was stepped on.
“Ajaan, come.” Minika turned her head and stretched out her hand to Jiang Junlin.
It was about 7 or 8 o’clock in the morning when the slowly rising sun shone on Minika’s face, and the gentle Minika seemed to be warmer than the sun.
Jiang Junlin smiled, handed it out, and said, “I’m such a big person, I just leave by myself.”
“I’m afraid you will fall.” Minika lightly held Jiang Junlin’s hand with excellent touch.
“How can it be!” Jiang Junlin retorted, but did not withdraw his hand.
“There was dew in the morning, and it was a little slippery when you step on the grass blades. Follow me slowly.” Minika exhorted, and then led Jiang Junlin along the path.
Jiang Junlin nodded naturally.
After walking for a while, the wild grass on both sides rose from knee-high, a little bit, to waist, and then quickly higher than the chest. Of course, this refers to Jiang Junlin’s height.
From time to time, Jiang Junlin saw the giant long-leaf grass that had just arrived in this world and tossed him so badly.
Looking at his hand, Jiang Junlin curiously stretched out a finger and touched it. There was a little pain, but there was no cut. It seems that his physique has really changed a lot!
Thinking of this, he kept walking under his feet, and another blade of grass swept over in front of him, just scratching it on the back of Jiang Junlin’s unretracted hand.
“Hey…” Jiang Junlin quickly retracted his hand and found a gradual red mark on the back of his white hand.
“Ajaan’s skin is too tender, too!” Minika stopped dumbfounded, took Jiang Junlin’s hand and looked at it, and then sighed, “Such a beautiful little hand, don’t hurt it anymore.”
“…” Jiang Junlin withdrew his hand, rubbed the back of his hand against his clothes, the back of his hand was red, so he couldn’t see the place where he just scratched, and then he didn’t care: “The skin is not torn, it will be fine in a while.”
Minika is accustomed to these plants in the wild, and long-leaf grass is the most common plant among them.
Seeing Jiang Junlin’s red back of hand, Minika was very helpless, and then took out the sharply polished bone knife from the basket. The bone knife had a long handle. Minika held the bone knife and waved it from side to side. Swing off the tall plants on both sides.
“No, I’m really fine.” Jiang Junlin was a little embarrassed.
“It’s okay. Anyway, the weeds on these two sides often need to be cleaned up.” Minika patted Jiang Junlin on the back, pulling Jiang Junlin and continuing to walk deep.
Now Jiang Junlin closely followed Minika, and didn’t want to add trouble to Minika. Although Minika had to take care of Jiang Junlin, she looked around with her height.
Soon, a small tree with purple fruits was found not far from the left.
“You just stand here, I will pick the fruit over there.”
Minika, who was planning to take Jiang Junlin to enjoy the fun of collecting, was defeated by Jiang Junlin’s soft skin, and did not intend to take him through the bushes.
“Okay.” Jiang Junlin pinched his toes and saw the fruit tree pointed by Minika, very close to the path.
Both of them could see each other, Minika went over with peace of mind, picking purple berries while paying attention to Jiang Junlin.
Such a small tree didn’t bear much fruit, and it was all picked within a few minutes. Minika ran back, picked a big one from the basket and handed it to Jiang Junlin, saying, “Try it.”
“Oh.”
Jiang Junlin took the beautiful fruit that was still stained with dew, and when there was no water, he wiped it with the corner of his clothes, biting the skin with a bit of strength.
As soon as the pulp entered, Jiang Junlin opened his eyes slightly and said, “It’s so sweet!”
“Well, this is the sweetest fruit I have ever tasted.” Minika nodded with a smile.
Jiang Junlin is not addicted to sweetness. However, since he came to this world, when the food in the tribe needed sweet taste, he added honey. He had never seen sugar, nor had he eaten such a sweet thing equivalent to snacks. The fruit made him like it a bit.
“Ajaan, just taste it. You can’t eat more of this thing, your teeth will feel uncomfortable, and you will lose your appetite.” Seeing Jiang Junlin finished eating one, Minika shook her head and refused.
“Can’t you eat more?” Jiang Junlin smacked his lips and said, “Forget it, too sweet to eat too much is really bad.” Then he stopped eating.
The two walked in like this, stopping from time to time. Jiang Junlin was still waiting by the side of the road, and then Minika went to pick fruit or some wild vegetables that he thought would be delicious, so he quickly picked half of the basket.
Along the way, I ran into a few people, er, all females. Jiang Junlin stood idle on the side road, watching Minika talking to the people who were gathering.
Seeing Jiang Junlin, everyone waved to greet him from afar, and Jiang Junlin also responded with a smile.
The warm sun was shining on his body, breathing the earthy air, and stopped and walked, Jiang Junlin stretched out, feeling that it would be nice to get up this morning.
…However, this is good occasionally, as a lazy Jiang Junlin doesn’t want to do it every day.
Minika went picking things again, and Jiang Junlin squatted on the road bored idle, using his hand to pull out a knee-high long-leaf grass by the roadside. When Minika came back this time, the two were ready to go back. They picked enough and couldn’t finish eating more.
“Child, what do you use this long-leaf grass for?” A gentle and pleasant voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Junlin, who was sullenly struggling with the long-leaf grass, was taken aback, turned and stood up. This is a man… with outstanding temperament, outstanding appearance, and so many indescribable tastes.
“You…” The outstanding man’s eyes widened, he looked up and down Jiang Junlin for a while, then he smiled beautifully, and said confidently, “Are you Ajaan?”
“Uh, I am.” Jiang Junlin was seen by the man at a loss, and unconsciously pulled the corners of his clothes with both hands.
“Hehe, although it is the first time I have met, such a beautiful child can only be the first beauty that Wentd brings back to the tribe.” The outstanding man had a cheerful expression.
“Do you know Wen Ted?” Jiang Junlin asked.
“Of course.” The brilliant man nodded.
It turned out to be someone I knew!
Jiang Junlin relaxed a little in his heart.
He is not scared, he is just a little nervous. This man has a very good temperament and makes him feel that he should never embarrass himself in front of a man. It is not that he is afraid of embarrassment, but he subconsciously does not want him to be unimpressed by him. it is good.
It was strange that Jiang Junlin subconsciously wanted to behave better in front of this man, and he became nervous.
“Then, what are you?”
The author has something to say: I’m sorry!
