Chapter 22: Disdainful Look



The laughter and noise in the tribe ushered in a new day.

Ji Nuan opened her eyes drowsily. The sunlight outside the cave was already shining on the cave wall. It looked like it was going to be another sunny day.

I moved my hands and feet carefully, and apart from some slight pain, I had recovered my strength.

Ji Nuan's eyes lit up, she turned over and sat up from the stone bed, pinched her arms and legs, and laughed foolishly.

The body recovered.

"Mountain boy? Are you up?" Ge Rou's voice sounded outside the cave.

Putting away the silly smile on her face, Ji Nuan scratched her messy head with both hands: "I'm up, Aunt Rou, please come in!"

Ge Rou held a piece of roasted meat wrapped in a large leaf in her hand. "This is the meat I roasted in the witch doctor's cave today. Xiu Yan has already eaten it, so I'll leave this for you."

Then he handed the dark barbecue to Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan playfully touched her emaciated belly and said, "Aunt Rou, I was just woken up by hunger. Thank you for sending me some barbecue!

By the way, how is Brother Xiu Yan? Is he feeling better?"

Speaking of Xiu Yan's injury, Ge Rou's eyes darkened: "You also know that orcs have strong recovery abilities.

Moreover, the witch doctor applied some herbal medicine to him yesterday and his wounds have healed.

But my arm still hurts, and there's a big lump sticking out from the wound."

Ji Nuan’s hands trembled, and she almost dropped the barbecue on the ground: “It’s… it’s ready?” The last word of her voice rose up with a hint of disbelief.

The wound was so serious yesterday, but it has healed today?

Ge Rou didn't notice Ji Nuan's surprise and nodded: "Yes!"

Ji Nuan suddenly felt a little confused. Originally, she was planning to find Xiu Yan in private to help him correct his bones.

This world will not repair broken bones, allowing them to recover naturally like external injuries. If the injury is serious, go to the witch doctor.

That's why there are so many orcs who are still in their prime, but because of bone injuries, they can only stay in the tribe and become decadent.

Ji Nuan suddenly felt anxious. It seemed that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

She grabbed Ge Rou's arm and said, "Aunt Rou, I want to go see Brother Xiu Yan, is that ok?"

Ge Rou pushed the barbecue in her hand and said, "You! Why are you in such a hurry? Eat the barbecue quickly. If it gets cold, you won't be able to bite it!"

Having said this, he turned around and walked out of the cave.

"Let's go, Xiu Yan should be packing up his things in his cave now!"

Ji Nuan chuckled, stuffed the barbecue in her hand into her mouth without hesitation, and followed Ge Rou with the big leaf in her hand.

Ji Nuan stared in amazement as Ge Rou turned around and entered the cave next to her home, and followed her in in a daze.

Xiu Yan was using one arm to sort out the animal skins that had piled up into a small mountain.

He raised his head when he heard footsteps at the door, and his narrow and deep eyes swept over Ge Rou and Ji Nuan who was daydreaming behind her.

"Mother." The cold and magnetic voice brought Ji Nuan's wandering mind back to focus.

Ge Rou looked distressed, and quickly walked forward to snatch the animal skin from his hand: "You brat, didn't I tell you to take them one by one? Why are you taking so many at once? They are so heavy!

Where is your father? Didn’t you ask him to watch over you here? "

Xiu Yan put down the animal skin in his hand and stood up: "Father went to get food."

After saying that, he glanced at Ji Nuan again. Why was this little female here again?

Ji Nuan saw Ge Rou moving the animal skins on the ground to another cave, and hurried over to help.

However, before he could touch the animal skin, he was blocked by a slender big hand.

Ji Nuan looked up in confusion, but noticed the flash of disdain on the hand's owner's face.

Looking at the clean white skin of her subordinate, and then at her own skinny little claws, Ji Nuan instantly understood Xiu Yan's disgust, and she felt so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all ached.
