Chapter 36 Second Poisoning Attack
"..." The little boy Zhuang rolled over on the ground, his back to the little girl happy and Jiang Luoluo who were walking over.
It's clear that he was very unwilling to accept losing to Little Fish King Biao.
What he was most unwilling to accept was that he didn't even have a chance to fight back and was directly pinned down... Despite being a year older than him and so thin, she was incredibly strong and fast.
"Alright, get up. The ground is all muddy and you've made a mess." The little girl laughed for a while and then began to comfort the little boy.
"Now you know the difference between you and him, right? Don't go looking for trouble with him next time. He's not like the other kids in Fish Cave. He gets enough to eat every day and has plenty of strength."
The little boy pouted, "He catches so many fish to eat every day, how come he still looks so skinny?" If it weren't for the fact that the other boy was so much smaller than him, he wouldn't have gone up to get beaten up.
Jiang Luoluo was also secretly observing the little fish king of the fish cave. In Jiang Luoluo's eyes, Biao's appearance was not too thin. On the contrary, he looked like a boy from her previous world.
Tall and thin, with a lot of muscle definition, except for his darker skin tone, he looks like the kind of male sports heartthrob you see in junior or senior high school.
However, in the tribe, this physique is considered thin. Most of the tribe members have a rather large and imposing build, like the chief Jing, who looks like a door panel when he stands there.
Take young Ge for example; he was also a very strong and tall man.
Listening to the little boy Zhuang and the little girl chatting happily, Jiang Luoluo naturally thought, "If they eat fish and meat all day long, they're bound to get thin."
What is fish? It's a high-protein food, not only without any oily smell, but it also helps to remove excess oil. Combined with the high-intensity exercise of fishing every day, you'll definitely lose weight the more you eat.
If you want to gain weight, you have to eat high-carb foods, like white rice... Ah, I haven't eaten rice in so long, I really want to eat it, and steamed buns and pancakes too, waaaah, her baozi and dumplings, and noodles are so tempting too.
"Hey... stay away from me, don't get mud on me." After pulling the little boy Zhuang up, the little girl happy hid to the side.
Although it was raining and she was soaking wet, there was a big difference between rainwater and muddy water.
"This little bit of mud will be washed away by the rain," the little boy said boldly, just as he opened his arms to let the rain wash over him.
But then I saw... the rain suddenly stopped.
The long-awaited bright sunshine pierced through the dark clouds and shone on the small rocky hill.
"???" The little boy suddenly looked up at the sky.
……
The sky cleared, and a bunch of mud monkeys appeared on the small rocky hill. Brown got a headache looking at them, so he waved his hand and led the group of mud monkeys down the mountain to take a bath.
Jiang Luoluo was among them. Having been here for so long, she had only been to three places: the mountaintop, the cave, and the small rocky hill. She had never even been to her neighbor's house.
Jiang Luoluo was very excited to be able to unlock new locations.
"Luo, let me carry your straw coat for you," the little girl said happily.
After the rain stopped, Jiang Luoluo took off her straw raincoat, since the material was there and it couldn't be very comfortable to wear.
Jiang Luoluo shook her head, and under the little girl's surprised gaze, she folded the straw raincoat after drying it, and tied it to the bottom of her burlap backpack.
You can just carry it on your back later.
"This is amazing!" The little girl's eyes lit up again, and she secretly tugged at Jiang Luoluo, "Luo, can I get a different bag? I have lots of linen at home!"
This pocket is really amazing! It can hold a lot of things, hang a lot of things on the outside, and you can even carry it on your shoulders.
"What? I want one too!" The little boy, Zhuang, was chased away because he was covered in mud and not allowed to come any closer.
He didn't hear clearly what the little girl said, only a few words, and immediately chimed in.
Anyway, whatever it is, if Xi Neng takes a liking to it, it must be something good, and he wants it too! He also has things he can exchange for it!
Mao, who was further away, looked at the little boy Zhuang with an indescribable expression, unsure whether he felt envious or not.
Jiang Luoluo lagged at the back of the group. Because she was surrounded by several people, He felt at ease to take care of the other children.
Managing hundreds of teenagers is not easy; basically, as soon as they came down from the small rocky hill, half of them disappeared from sight.
Despite chasing and shouting from all sides, about a third of the children had disappeared.
Fortunately, they encountered some tribesmen on the way who came over to help drive the children away, barely managing to maintain the children's loose formation and prevent them from scattering too far.
Jiang Luoluo looked at the sky and the ground all the way, following the exceptionally wide road until she reached the foot of the mountain, a distance even farther than the journey from her home to Xiaoshishan.
As we rounded the last bend, the view suddenly opened up before us, and we could hear the distinct sound of flowing water.
Jiang Luoluo looked up and froze on the spot.
She had always known there was a large river at the foot of the mountain, but she never imagined that the "river" her people spoke of was so big.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the sea; you can't see the end of it at all, only the waves crashing against the rocks on the riverbank, making a series of sounds.
"Behave yourselves, don't go into the river. It just rained, there are big fish in the river that will eat people, be careful!" Brown shouted loudly from the other side.
Huh? How do you take a bath then? Although Jiang Luoluo was too afraid to get close to that huge, obviously unsafe river, she was still full of curiosity.
Two tribesmen skillfully walked to the rocky beach by the river and, with a heave, pulled a huge rock from it.
As the large rock was removed, it left a large pit, into which river water gradually poured in, eventually filling the entire pit and flowing outwards.
Jiang Luoluo then noticed that a section of the ground some distance from the river was sunken. She had thought it was just uneven ground, but she didn't expect it to serve this purpose.
Before long, a large pool, only a little over a meter deep, appeared on the bank. The mud monkeys cheered and jumped in, splashing and playing in the water.
He and several other tribesmen stood guard by the river to prevent any disobedient children from sneaking into the river.
The little boy Zhuang was satisfied with Jiang Luoluo's promise—that she would also make him a burlap backpack, provided that he provided the burlap himself—and went to the pool to wash off the mud.
Jiang Luoluo looked to her left and right... Mao was a bit far away. She gestured to the little girl happy with her eyes, "Aren't you going to wash?"
The little girl shook her head with disdain, looking at the murky pool that had been churned up by a group of mud monkeys. She was only wet from the rain; going in to wash herself would only make her dirtier.
Mao was similar; he didn't really like the hustle and bustle of so many people, so he stayed by the little one's side... He had wanted to help the little one carry the big bag on her back, but he was worried that the little one would think he wanted fruit paste, so he was too embarrassed to ask and could only follow silently.
There were quite a few children who hadn't taken a bath. The reason they came together was simply because the adults usually wouldn't let them go down the mountain, and no one wanted to refuse such a rare opportunity to go down the mountain.
Half of the children were playing in the artificial pool, while the other half were wandering around at the foot of the mountain. The adults were overwhelmed, having to keep an eye on the riverbank to prevent the children from going into the river, and also to catch the wandering children to keep them from getting lost.
Jiang Luoluo found it very enjoyable, and then she joined in the stroll, even carrying two pendants.
"Luo, don't go too far," He instructed, then chased after the children who were almost out of sight in the other direction.
Perhaps because she had been watching too much entertainment, Jiang Luoluo's joy turned to sorrow when she suddenly felt a burning pain in her throat.
The cub's sudden reaction startled the two companions beside it. Mao rushed over immediately, reacting much faster than the little girl beside Jiang Luoluo.
Before the little girl could react, Luo caught the cub who was clutching its throat and struggling in pain as it collapsed. "Luo?!"
The little girl was slow in action, but quick in mind, and immediately exclaimed, "It's Fire Smoke Poison! Luo has been poisoned!"
The children on the mountain all knew why He took Jiang Luoluo up the small rocky hill every day, and He had even specifically told them to keep an eye on her.
“Luo has the medicine given by the witch!” The little girl said without hesitation. Because He wasn’t sure if he could stay by the cub’s side in time, he had kept the herbs on the cub’s body.
Although Jiang Luoluo was in excruciating pain, she remained somewhat conscious and gestured to the two people that the medicine was in her backpack.
While holding down the cub's hand to prevent her from scratching her throat, Mao let the little girl rummage through the herbs in her backpack.
The herbs weren't hard to find, but when they were taken out, the little girl was stunned because the medicine had to be brewed into a soup with hot water and drunk before it would take effect.
Where can they find hot water at the foot of this mountain?
