Chapter 82 Mobilizing the Tribe's Females to Work
Xia Yueke quickly smiled and patted Mia's shoulder. "It's okay. Come play with me next time. I don't have a playmate! I don't know any of those females!"
Mia's eyes lit up and she gave a shy smile, "Yeah!"
They soon arrived at their destination, which was a lush fruit forest filled with the fragrance of fruit. The sweet smell permeated and intertwined in the air, teasing everyone's sense of smell.
Reina looked at these orcs with a serious expression and unquestionable majesty in his eyes. He said loudly:
"We must pick all the fruits from these orchards today. The rainy season is coming soon. If we don't collect enough, you'll be the ones starving!"
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the females, his tone softening slightly.
"The females are hanging around nearby, so don't stray too far! You can also pick some fruit and contribute to the tribe!"
After saying this, everyone dispersed and started to do their own work.
Xia Yueke and Mia also started to take action, but they were not here to play.
Xia Yueke felt that she was a member of the tribe and should do what she could for the tribe.
Mia didn't know what to do alone, so she just followed Xia Yueke. She followed closely behind, her eyes full of dependence.
The two of them, along with their respective partners, picked all the fruits from a towering tree.
Qing Yan would occasionally eat a few of these fruits secretly when no one else was paying attention. As soon as the plump and juicy fruits entered his mouth, the sweet juice burst in his mouth, and he squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
Xia Yueke saw it and quickly stopped him in a low voice, "Qingyan, don't eat it. If everyone is like you, there won't be enough fruit. Besides, this is the food we have stored for the tribe."
Qingyan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and wiped the juice left at the corner of his mouth.
"Sorry, Yue, these fruits are too fragrant. I won't eat them next time."
Xia Yuke shook her head helplessly, her bright eyes full of helplessness towards Qing Yan. She could only continue to stare at Qing Yan secretly, not daring to relax for a moment, for fear that he would eat all the fruits.
These fruits are the food that the tribe needs to survive the rainy season. If he eats them all now, when the rainy season comes, everyone will be hungry for the long days, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Mia was like a hardworking little bee, picking small fruits one by one under the fruit tree.
Her small fingers nimbly moved among the branches and leaves, "Boogie! Here you go!"
Her voice was clear and melodious, like a clear spring in the mountains. She handed the small fruit to Buji beside her, with a satisfied light in her eyes.
Just when the two little females were busy, a burst of laughter came from not far away. It turned out that three or four females came together.
They were like a group of colorful birds, chirping and walking towards this side.
The tall females are slender and muscular, with long dark brown hair and deep amber eyes. These females have their own unique dress and appearance.
She wore a top made of soft animal skin with colorful feathers on the collar and cuffs, a short animal skin skirt with bone beads on the hem, and a vine belt with small pockets hanging around her waist.
The females with beautiful patterns are charming, with healthy wheat-colored skin and large, bright blue eyes.
She wore a short sleeveless shirt with an intricate pattern and fine linen stitching along the edges, loose trousers, straw sandals, and colorful stone bracelets and anklets on her wrists and ankles.
The female has a chubby face with a rosy complexion and almond-shaped black eyes, which are cute and charming.
She wore a knee-length dress made of different colored fabrics, with ruffles at the neckline, colorful embroidered ribbons around her waist, and shell anklets.
They looked at Xia Yueke and Mia, and one of them greeted them with a friendly smile:
"Hello, female cubs, don't do these chores anymore, just leave them to the males!"
Another female with beautiful patterns echoed:
"We females are only responsible for having fun!"
Their tone was full of ease, as if labor had nothing to do with them.
A tall female was persuading Xia Yueke and Mia, with confusion in her eyes. She really couldn't understand why these two females liked to do these things that she thought were tiring and boring.
Xia Yueke stood on a thick branch. She looked at them and said:
"My beautiful sisters, I know you may find it hard to pick fruits, but I think we can help."
"Think about it, if we don't have enough time in these few days, won't we starve during the rainy season? Besides, look at those male beasts, they are always clumsy when they work."
As she spoke, she used her hands to illustrate how the male beasts worked.
"Like last time, I saw a male beast picking fruit and ended up dropping a whole bunch! Also, they don't know how to choose the fruit when they pick it. Some fruits are picked before they're ripe. What a waste!"
"We females are different. We're careful and clever. If we work together, we'll definitely be able to pick tons of big, delicious fruit. Then no one will have to worry about going hungry during the rainy season!"
The tall female's lips curled up slightly when she heard this, and a hint of recognition appeared in her eyes. "Yes, those stupid male beasts are not as smart as us! They definitely can't pick fruit!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left in a hurry, as if she was going to show off her skills in picking fruits and looking for wild vegetables.
The remaining three females looked at each other and began to imitate them.
Xia Yueke wiped the sweat from her forehead, and the crystal beads of sweat sparkled in the sunlight.
Just now, when they came over aggressively, Xia Yueke thought something had happened and felt a little nervous.
But now it seems that these females are really cute. Just a few words of praise will make them start working obediently.
Xia Yueke didn't want to fool them at first, but when she thought about Qian Jingyao saying that the rainy season was coming and the food in the tribe was far from enough, if these females continued to play like this, when would they be able to collect enough food?
This concerns the survival of the entire tribe.
Xia Yueke raised her head slightly with pride. As Qian Jingyao's partner, how could she not think about him!
She is such a clever little girl.
Mia looked at Xia Yueke with admiration on her face, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her big eyes.
She usually doesn't dare to talk to people. In her heart, Yue Ke is like an omnipotent hero.
She thought Yue Ke was amazing, as she mobilized everyone with just a few words.
If Xia Yue knew that Mia actually thought this way, she would definitely think that Mia was definitely a socially anxious person, but she was also a simple-minded and cute little girl.
As expected, once these females joined in, efficiency was greatly improved.
In just one morning, they had picked all the fruit from the entire orchard.
It must be said that these females are very nimble, they eat a lot and good food, and they are strong. When they work, they are like a gust of wind and have endless energy!
