Chapter 79: Preparation for the Assembly
In the cave, Ge Xing was sitting on an animal skin resting, and when he saw Ji Nuan who was helping the witch doctor in, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Ji Nuan, Uncle has something to tell you." โ
Ji Nuan looked up at him suspiciously: "What's the matter, Patriarch Uncle?" โ
Ge Xing propped up his body and sat up, his face serious: "In half a month, it will be the tribal gathering in the Anilu Forest, and I said last time that this tribal gathering will take you with me, so you can prepare some more things during this time, and you can exchange what you need when the time comes." โ
Ji Nuan's eyes lit up, she had been in this world for so long, she had never been to an outside place, and this time she followed the tribe to participate in the rally, it should be a good opportunity.
A little excitedly nodded his little head: "Okay, I know." By the way, uncle, what is more popular at the rally? โ
Ge Xing smiled: "Of course, it's animal skins and food, but the food is not easy to bring, we will only hunt after going directly to the Anilu Mountains, so you can prepare more animal skins." โ
Ji Nuan pondered for a long time, raised his head and said, "Then what if I make some easy-to-preserve food and bring it over?" โ
The witch doctor hurriedly said, "Food that is easy to preserve? Do you mean stinky fruit? โ
Ji Nuan nodded: "It's food made with stinky stinky fruits, but no beast will find out that it's made with stinky stinky fruits, hehe!" โ
Ge Xing and the witch doctor breathed a sigh of relief instantly, the fact that stinky fruits can be made into delicious food is better known only to the clansmen of their own tribe.
But they didn't know that on the other side of the Tumang tribe, Manli had already told Yali and Yagu the news that the stinky fruit could be made into food, although she didn't know how to do it, but she still knew about taking out the fruit and boiling it in water.
The witch doctors and patriarchs of the Tumang tribe did not take this news very seriously, for them, the prey was the most important food, and the stinky fruit was only on the same status as the fruit collected by the females.
Therefore, the matter of collecting stinky fruits was handed over to Yagu.
"Ah, by the way, Ji Nuan, this time in the past gathering, you can change a few slave beasts to come back, it's too inconvenient for you to live as a beast." Grandma the witch doctor said helplessly.
Ji Nuan, a cub, is unwilling to accept guardian beasts, and he has no partner. Although they are now with Xiu Yan, there are many things that the two beasts can't do.
Ji Nuan was very surprised, slave beast? If she understands correctly, it should be a slave, is there already a slave on this continent?
Ge Xing patted the animal skin, and his eyebrows danced: "Yes, let's change a few slave beasts this time, and I can help you when I can't get busy." โ
For people who have lived in the 21st century, the existence of slaves has always made her feel a little uncomfortable psychologically.
Ji Nuan searched in her memory for a long time, but there was still no information about the slave beast, she looked at the patriarch of Ge Xing helplessly: "Uncle, what is a slave beast?" โ
Ge Xing was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ji Nuan helplessly: "The slave beast is the child of the weak orc, and they exchange their children for us beast tribesmen, hoping that they can have food to eat in our tribe and can survive." โ
Ji Nuan nodded, it seems that it is just a means of dependence and survival, and now the beasts and orcs may not be able to eat enough, let alone those weak orcs with weak combat effectiveness, they are sometimes the first choice for the food of the beasts in the forest, so these weak orcs are very good at hiding themselves.

In the food storage hole, Ji Nuan put the remaining little purple fruit into a porcelain pot, added enough water, lit the small earthen stove, and boiled slowly.
Remove a pickled giggle, cut the breast into small pieces, and marinate it in two porcelain bowls along with several seasoned fruits.
The rice porridge in the porcelain pot was boiling, exuding a burst of sweet fragrance, Ji Nuan made two more baskets out of the waiting time, this thing is really a very important tool now, much more practical than animal skin bags.
When the rice porridge was half-cooked, Xiu Yan came back from outside, carrying two sturdy green bull beasts on his shoulders, and a calf in his left hand like a chicken that kept mooing in panic.
The little guy seemed to be frightened by the ferocious silver wolf orc, and the four little hooves were stiff and straight, and the round little eyes were teary, and they kept making childish mooing sounds, which were very pitiful.
Ji Nuan poured the marinated meat in the bowl into the porcelain pot and continued to boil, then got up and walked out of the cave.
She pointed to the mooing calf with some surprise: "Why did you catch one alive?" โ
Xiu Yan put the two green bull beasts still on the ground, raised the arm carrying the calf and shook it, and the poor little guy was like a piece of air-dried meat with teary eyes, shaking with his movements.
"Bring it back and drink blood, the other orcs have already drunk it, you have to replenish your energy, otherwise you will have no strength."
