Chapter 215
"Who are the people on your team?" Jiang Luoluo pressed Chi for answers.
Jiang Luoluo knew that the fruit wine was something that absolutely, and under no circumstances, should be entrusted to Chi for safekeeping.
Therefore, the only option is to have this item carried by someone else in Aka's team. In any case, Aka absolutely cannot be left alone with the fruit wine.
Chi scratched his head, his slightly astigmatic eyes looking at Jiang Luoluo earnestly, "Luo, I swear I won't steal a drink..."
As he spoke, Chi himself began to have doubts, and added quietly, "He probably wouldn't have stolen a drink."
Jiang Luoluo naturally wouldn't give Chi any chance, even if his oath was sincere, since he lacked confidence in making it.
They managed to extract most of the names from Chi, learning who belonged to his tribe.
Jiang Luoluo turned to look at Mao, who was standing silently to the side, "Mao, do you recognize them all?"
Because Jiang Luoluo had never been in contact with a hunting team before, did not know so many people in her tribe, and did not know who was reliable, she could only seek help from outsiders.
Although Mao is still a child, he has had some interaction with some of the tribe members in the hunting team during this time. Moreover, Ke has recently told him a lot about people and things, hoping that he can adapt to the life of the hunting team better.
Therefore, Mao did have some understanding of the hunting party members. After thinking carefully, Mao said, "Let's go with it."
Chief Jing probably thought it was for Chi's sake, so he didn't assign her any older team members; most of them were relatively fresh, young blood.
Only two or three middle-aged clansmen, who were about the same age as Chief Jing, were there to provide support for Chi, in case anything unexpected happened.
While not the strongest, they are in their prime and have extensive hunting experience, which is enough to make up for any shortcomings in strength. They can hold the fort at crucial moments. Overall, the hunting team prioritizes the hunt.
Mao had never met Cun, but Ke had gone hunting with Cun a few times before, so he had mentioned her to Mao.
He is a steady and honest person who doesn't like fighting, but he has a strong sense of justice and often helps resolve conflicts between different tribes. He is very fair and just, and many tribesmen approve of him.
Jiang Luoluo did a quick look and felt that Cun was indeed a good candidate, so she made the decision without hesitation.
Ignoring Chi's reluctant gaze and numerous attempts to stop him, he took out all the fruit wine that Chi had packed into the large animal skin backpack, had Mao carry it, and headed to find Cun.
The leader, Jing, didn't understand alcohol well enough. He only knew that it could warm the body in critical moments, but he didn't understand at all that drinking too much of it would affect the brain.
A drunk person is not rational enough and it is impossible to predict what they will do. Normally, it doesn't matter how much of this stuff Chi drinks, but how can such a problem occur in something as dangerous as hunting?
Some accidents may never happen, but if they happen even once, they are unforgivable mistakes.
In fact, Chief Jing probably knew, but he didn't take the consequences too seriously. After all, even the fruit wine was a new thing that Jiang Luoluo had just come up with. It would be too difficult for Chief Jing to think about all sorts of consequences in advance.
Jiang Luoluo glanced at Chi. Compared to Chief Jing, Chi should understand the effects of fruit wine the most. She had drunk it so many times and gotten drunk more than once, so she knew it perfectly well.
Otherwise, with Jiang Luoluo, a seven-year-old child, and Mao, an underage beastman warrior who had just awakened his beast form, there would be absolutely no chance of them taking the fruit wine from Chi's hands.
Chi didn't try to stop her at all; he just kept trying to soften Jiang Luoluo's heart and make her give up with his eyes.
Unfortunately, Jiang Luoluo, this little cub, was extremely cold-hearted and ruthless. She ordered Mao to take the fruit wine and leave the house, heading straight for Cun's home.
Chi had no choice but to follow along, but because he felt bad about it, he didn't go to the Cun family with Jiang Luoluo. Instead, he trailed far behind, as if praying that Jiang Luoluo would "change her mind".
When Cun saw the cub who had suddenly come to visit, he was completely surprised. He never imagined that he had any connection with Luo, a famous cub in the tribe.
But he still warmly invited the cub Luo and his follower Mao into the house.
The small items had been packed up and placed on the floor inside the room, neatly arranged against the wall.
Jiang Luoluo glanced around and found that Cun's house was arranged very neatly and uniformly, probably because he had a somewhat obsessive-compulsive personality.
"Did Luo come to see me for something?" Cun asked.
Judging from the way the cub Luo walked aggressively at the front, it was clear that she was the absolute leader of this operation.
"I need to trouble you with something." Jiang Luoluo gestured for Mao to put the fruit wine down.
"This is fruit wine that the leader gave to Chi to carry." Jiang Luoluo briefly explained the effects of the fruit wine, which were nothing more than the effect of drinking a sip or two to warm the body when it's cold.
And the task that Chief Jing hoped for was to distribute these fruit wines when necessary during the hunt.
Cun didn't quite understand what the cub Luo meant. "Isn't this good? Is there a problem?"
"The biggest problem is handing these fruit wines over to Chi!" Jiang Luoluo looked at Cun seriously.
"Chi will definitely steal a drink, he will absolutely steal a drink!"
For things like alcohol that are somewhat addictive, most people find it difficult to resist.
Jiang Luoluo didn't disbelieve Chi's will, but the question was—why did Chi resist the will to drink?
Unless drinking leads to serious and irreparable consequences, for Chi and even the leader Jing, drinking is just a harmless little hobby.
But this was Chi's first time participating in a hunt, something she had always dreamed of. Jiang Luoluo didn't want any unexpected events to occur during the hunt and ruin Chi's greatest hope—getting drunk was obviously the biggest unexpected event.
Therefore, Jiang Luoluo didn't mind "meddling" a bit, so that Chi could successfully complete this hunting activity.
Chi also sensed Jiang Luoluo's pure worry and concern, which had nothing else to do with her, as well as her own vague premonition—she knew that being drunk was not a good thing, but she didn't know just how bad the consequences of being drunk would be.
That's why he was willing to let Jiang Luoluo arrange for the fruit wine to be taken away. Otherwise, even if it were someone else, Chi Ye would have to fight with the leader Jing himself and be beaten down before he would accept it.
Cun was somewhat surprised, but did not ignore Jiang Luoluo's words just because she was a cub. After thinking about it carefully, Cun said cautiously with a hint of verification, "I need to taste it to be sure."
Jiang Luoluo was certain that Cun had never seen Chi drunk, otherwise he would have been able to confirm it on the spot instead of having to verify it there.
"These might not be very convenient to move, right? Actually, I have some fruit wine at home. Shall I go back and get some for you?" Jiang Luoluo asked.
"Just a taste, this is enough. It's okay to drink a little." Cun opened the fruit wine and carefully took only a small amount from the bottom.
A rich fruity aroma mingled with another fragrance, but when you taste it, it doesn't have the familiar sweetness of fruit wine; instead, it has a slightly spicy and stimulating taste.
After a moment, Cun shook his head, his tone firm but his voice trembling, "No, we can't give it to Chi!"
Jiang Luolu blinked. Oh wow, this is... a single gulp?
