Chapter 94 The Blizzard Arrives
Chapter 94 The Blizzard Arrives
After several days of hard work, Ruan Mianmian and her group achieved fruitful results in their search for food.
They successively discovered various delicious fruits such as persimmons, red dates, walnuts, and hawthorns, as well as many unknown but delicious dried fruits.
This food was enough for the entire tribe to live in the cave for a period of time without having to go out to forage.
At the same time, they also had a fruitful hunting season, successfully capturing a large number of prey.
It's fair to say that if they wanted, they could have stayed in the cave indefinitely and safely passed through this period.
Over the past few days, Ruan Mianmian has led the little beastmen in the cave to make many things.
For example, there are soft meadows woven from hay, quaint stools, and delicate little baskets. Outside the valley, lush wild grasses grow, and vines and dead wood become their precious materials.
These activities not only helped everyone pass the long hours, but also cultivated the little animals' creativity and hands-on skills.
As the days passed, the blizzard finally arrived.
That afternoon, the sky gradually darkened, and a strong wind howled, foreshadowing an impending bout of severe weather.
Sen and Yu noticed the unusual weather and quickly summoned the little beastmen who were playing outside back to the cave.
Ruan Mianmian learned from the weather forecast that a blizzard would sweep in in half an hour.
She immediately called Sen and Yu to her side, explained the situation to them in detail, and reminded them to prepare for the blizzard.
After Sen and Yu found out, they began to prepare with the larger orcs.
First, they called all the little orcs back, and then they used many large stones to block the entrance to the cave to prevent it from being blown down by the wind.
The walls above the cave were also reinforced with wood, which served the same purpose of preventing collapse.
The little orcs worked together to make the fire in the cave burn even brighter, ensuring the cave remained warm and cozy.
Next, they assigned tasks: some of the orcs were responsible for preparing sufficient food and water, while others went to collect more fuel for emergencies.
When everything was ready, Ruan Mianmian led the little beastmen to sit around the fire, telling ancient stories to calm everyone down.
The wind outside grew stronger, and snowflakes fell in a flurry, but the cave was filled with warmth and tranquility.
"Whoosh...whoosh..." The wind outside howled wildly, its sound as piercing as ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
Some of the timid orcs were terrified by the terrible sound and huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.
In their memories, such severe weather with strong winds was always unbearable, as if the end of the world was coming.
Last year, in particular, several young orcs tragically froze to death in such cold weather, a painful memory that still haunts them.
Therefore, they were filled with fear and anxiety about such weather.
Ruan Mianmian noticed the fear of the little beastmen and immediately summoned them over.
She said gently, “Don’t be afraid, children. No more little orcs will die from the cold or hunger this year, don’t worry. I will protect you, I’m here for you.”
The little beastmen felt much more at ease after hearing Ruan Mianmian's words.
After all, she is a legendary goddess!
Since the goddess has said so, there must be no problem! So, they gradually calmed down and were no longer as panicked as before.
Witnessing Ruan Mianmian calmly comforting the little beastmen, Zhi Mu felt a surge of relief.
He felt that Ruan Mianmian was becoming more and more like a leader, and her ability to handle things so calmly was truly admirable.
At the same time, he was proud that the tribe had such a kind, brave and responsible leader.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian's image became incredibly tall in the eyes of the little beastmen, as if she were their guardian deity.
They believed that as long as the goddess was by their side, they could overcome any difficulties they encountered.
This trust and reliance made Ruan Mianmian feel a great sense of responsibility, but she was not afraid. Instead, she was determined to lead everyone to a better future.
