Chapter 689 - 688, Drama King_1
The wind was bitterly cold as the cherished moo-baby left, never to return.
A few withered leaves wafted past little Moumou, landing on the ground beside it.
Little Moumou hung its head in dejection, not feeling good. Neither its mate nor its cub wanted it anymore.
"Moo~!" A babyish bleat echoed from a short distance away. Upon looking up, little Moumou saw its mate and the moo-baby waiting for it to join them in grazing.
"Moo!" Little Moumou’s spirits immediately lifted and it joyfully ran towards them. The trio huddled together, happily munching on the lush grass.
Ji Nuan, who had been watching this bovine drama unfold from the sidelines, smirked. It seemed the cattle he raised had some dramatic flair!
"Anuan, have you harvested all the crunchy sweet fruits from your home?" Ge Ye came over with her basket full of various beautiful flowers.
Ji Nuan rolled his eyes, exasperated, "Little Ye Zi, while everyone is gathering food, what are you doing picking so many flowers?"
Ge Ye chuckled with a mischievous grin, "Didn’t you say yesterday that bathing with fragrant flowers would make one’s body smell good? I’m planning to try it when I get home."
Her smirk was unabashedly creepy.
Ji Nuan choked, was it really his fault?
He smacked her arm, "Leave these flowers where you found them. We’ve got so many more crunchy sweet fruits to harvest. Careful if you don’t do your share you might not get any!"
This caught Ge Ye’s attention. Her favorite food was the crunchy sweet fruit. Wouldn’t cutting off her share be the end of her?
She scuttled back home as fast as she could, "I’ll be right back!"
The surrounding women started laughing, "Only Shaman Ji Nuan can handle Little Ye Zi. She’s usually so stubborn!"
As the women recounted Little Ye Zi’s glorious deeds, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but laugh.
The women worked all morning harvesting the crunchy sweet fruits. Although since Ji Nuan’s arrival, the women no longer lazed around as before, Ji Nuan, being a woman herself, wouldn’t want to make her task heavier. So...
Seeing the piled crunchy sweet fruits in the field, Ji Nuan decisively picked up her little harvesting basket and... left.
Such "heavy labor" should be left to the orcs. After all, aren’t they the ones with the brute strength? Ha ha~
The yards of orc households were filled with various dried fruits and vegetables towards the end of the hot season. Ji Nuan even built a simple stove in the yard for smoking meat.
The cured meat hanging above the kitchen stove had been renewed.
The elderly potter started bustling with his apprentices again. A large number of jars were needed for pickling the wild vegetables in the cold season.
The orcs were making the most of the time to hunt, process the game, then distribute it to each family for smoking and storage.
The pantries of each household were slowly filling up.
The hardened Stinky Fruits no longer attracted the attention of the Sharp Teeth Beasts. Sometimes, even the women went along with their partners to stroll in the Stinky Fruit Forest and bring back a few stinky fruits.
The Stinky Fruits and Purple Fruits were piled up in the storage room, with each family having at least two storage rooms full of supplies. The remaining produce was stored in the tribe’s public warehouse.
The arrival of the cold season was approaching each day, and every tribe was busy collecting and storing food. This was when a group of disheveled orcs appeared on the stone field bordering the Eneru Forest and Nia Forest.
