Chapter 434 Bringing People Back
Today, the Eastern Tribe is a little different. The cave door, which is usually closed, is half open, and the aroma of roasting meat can be smelled from inside the cave.
"Mommy, why isn't Daddy back yet?" Little Red was flying around Ruan Mianmian, glancing at the dark sky outside from time to time.
From the time she was pregnant, Ruan Mianmian had been instilling the concepts of father and mother in the two little ones. Especially after the two little ones could understand her words, she referred to herself as "Mom" and let Sen refer to himself as "Dad," instead of the male father and female mother commonly used in the beast world.
So the two little ones naturally called each other "Dad" and "Mom." They knew they were different from any other child in the tribe. Their mother was both the leader and a goddess, so it wasn't strange that they were addressed differently.
When the other orcs in the tribe heard the two cubs being called that, they assumed it was a term unique to the Beast God and were no longer surprised.
Ruan Mianmian opened the system to check the map. When she saw that Sen and the others were already not far from the valley, she happily told her two children, "Your dad will be back soon. Let's open the door and get ready to welcome everyone!"
The orcs in the tribe already knew of their leader's extraordinary abilities, and when they heard that the orcs would be arriving soon, they all sprang into action.
Meng led Bati and Gray, along with other strength-type orcs, to open the gate first, making it easier for the orcs from the gorilla tribe to enter the cave.
Miyue led the tribe's females to brew ginger soup. The chief said that most of them had caught a cold, which was contagious, and they needed to drink more ginger soup to get better.
So Miyue cut a lot of ginger and started boiling it early. Usually, they would add sugar to soften the spiciness of the ginger.
But the chief said that adding sugar would affect the effect. Looking at so many beastmen in her tribe, Miyue thought, what if it really got serious?
So she simply added more ginger to the simmering, without adding any sugar, for fear of affecting the efficacy of the medicine.
Zhi also selected herbs based on his experience; with so many orcs falling ill, they must need quite a few herbs.
Yu instructed the beastmen to roast more meat, as they were all exhausted from their journey and probably starving.
Meanwhile, some of the larger orcs were watching the fire in front of the stone pot, which contained bone broth that they had been simmering every day. Drinking a bowl of it on such a cold day was incredibly comforting!
After the gorilla-beastmen passed through the first line of defense in the valley, they smelled a faint aroma of meat as soon as they entered the valley.
They were all excited as they looked at the brightly lit cave entrance ahead.
"Hurry up, everyone! The tribe's gate is just ahead. The roasted meat and everything else are ready and waiting for you!" A loud-voiced orc greeted them at the gate after hearing Ruan Mianmian's instructions. He stretched out his nose and shouted, his voice echoing throughout the valley.
The ape-like beastmen quickened their pace and entered the cave, immediately stunned by its layout and temperature. They'd really found a powerful ally!
Sen walked over to Ruan Mianmian first, his eyes filled with exhaustion and joy. Xiao Hong and Xiao Jin immediately flew into Sen's arms, chattering excitedly about how much they missed him.
The sickly ape-like beastmen looked on with gratitude at the sight of the steaming food and ginger soup. They took the soup, frowned, and drank it down. The spicy sensation instantly spread throughout their bodies, but it also made them feel a little better.
Zhiye brought over a large bunch of herbs and began distributing them to the sick beastmen. Yu directed the distribution of roasted meat to everyone, and a warm atmosphere filled the cave.
At this moment, a little gorilla-like beastman suddenly started crying. It turned out that the ginger soup was too spicy and he couldn't stand it.
Ruan Mianmian smiled and took out a sweet fruit and handed it to the little gorilla. After eating it, the little gorilla stopped crying and started laughing.
This scene eased the tense atmosphere considerably.
They ate and chatted, sharing their experiences on the road. On this cold night, the orcs from various tribes gathered together, taking care of each other for warmth and fighting against disease together.
Looking at the harmonious scene before her, Ruan Mianmian felt a great sense of accomplishment. She knew that this tribe would only get better and better.
