The Tiny Lina Maya

Chapter 14 - Learning to Tamp the Skin

When Meli saw Lina for the first time, she was attracted by her petite and beautiful appearance.

She could not help but pinch Lina's pure white face, saying with her wide smile, "Are you Uriel's partner? How cute and tiny you are."

In her heart, Lina also admitted that her height was not high, but she also never felt that she was short.

But ever since he was sent to this world, he had begun to realize that every Orc he saw turned out to be taller than him. Even this young lady in front of him was one head taller than him.

Right now he is in a bad and sad mood.

As winter came, the male Orcs would all be busy hunting, leaving some old Orcs and their children at home, to tan the skins they had gathered. And also maintain air circulation, to prevent the meat of their quarry, rotting during storage.

As for the women whose numbers were rare here, they did not need to do anything. They just need to rest at home and have fun. It is the men who will bring food before them.

Although Lina wanted to lie in bed every day, and wait for a good life, she loved Uriel more than just hunting.

He hoped to be able to share some of the pressure with Uriel.

"Sister Meli, will you teach me how to tan the skin?" He asked Meli hesitantly.

Meli nodded.

"Of course, but why do you want to learn it? As a woman, you don't have to do anything. You just need to have a baby and be at home. There will be others who will do this menial work."

When she heard the word childbirth, Lina's white face turned red.

He couldn't help but think about it.

"If I could give birth to a child as handsome as Uriel, that would be great."

"Ah. It's already! Already!" Lina then covered her blushing face, to stop her unrealistic wishful thinking.

Of course he couldn't have said that he wanted to share the pressure with Uriel. So he could only say some made-up excuses.

"I was bored trying to find something for myself."

Hearing what Lina said, Meli laughed.

"Well, I happen to be feeling lazy and bored. I'll keep you company while sunbathing.."

After that, they took some leather and went towards the river.

The process of tanning animal skins is not complicated. Under Meli's direction, Lina was able to quickly understand the entire process.

As they worked in a joking manner, many men stared at them with fiery eyes.

Here, women are very special, they rarely go out on busy days, their families will mostly not let them out at times like this.

But today there are two women who appear at the same time, this kind of thing is rare. They both also looked beautiful, especially the petite ones. Every male eye that saw him would definitely be attracted to him.

Some young men who were single, could not resist their urge to try to get close, and talk to the woman.

As a result, they were beaten by Wiro who was in hiding watching Lina, not too far from her current location.

From the moment Lina walked out of the house, Wiro turned out to be secretly following her. She watched from a distance, Lina who was talking and smiling with her friend. His bright smile made his heart beat rapidly.

For any man who tried to get close to the little girl, Wiro would quickly confront her, and beat them to pieces.

Meli realized, if there is a fight not far from there. He could not help but pay closer attention, then asked with some hesitation, "Do you know the chief Wiro?"

Lina then replied without lifting her head, "That's how."

"If I pay attention, it looks like the chief is watching you." Meli said to Lina.

"Huh?" Lina raised her head in surprise at what Meli had said, then looked in the direction she was pointing.

Right then, Lina and Wiro's eyes met.

Wiro's ear tips turned reddish, his heart beating even faster. It was obvious the other party had not said anything, but he seemed to be feeling depressed instead.

He was confused and could do nothing more. Then he raised his head and stepped his feet walking closer towards Lina.

"Why are you here?" Lina asked him.

But as Wiro's eyes watched the girl's face up close, his mind then imagined the soft moaning scene he heard last night. At that moment, he felt that the object in his s*l*ngk*ngan would react, he immediately deflected the direction of his steps to avoid Lina's eyesight. And walk faster.

"I'm on a walk." Answer Wiro.

"Oh." Lina answered briefly. Then he ignored Wiro who was there, and continued to tan the skin.

"I didn't think that Wiro, the chief who hated women so much, had his heart opened. Events like this are truly rare!"

Wiro who was standing in the river not far from it, as if he was enjoying the view across the river. However, through the corner of his eyes, he several times glanced at the little girl who was nearby.

Lina remained cool talking and laughing with Meli, while tanning her skin.

The more people see it, the more they like it.

After the skin is wet exposed to water, it will add weight to be heavier. It took a lot of effort for the weak Lina, to remove those skin.

But then, his hand suddenly felt light.

Turns out, Wiro had taken the skin that he was trying to bring.

Just as Lina was about to say thank you, she also heard scorn from the front.

"You can't even carry something this light? What a useless woman!"

Then Lina said, "The gratitude in my heart just suddenly disappeared."

Every time this fellow opened his mouth, he would never let out a wise word.

Wiro then started walking while carrying the skin.

Lina quickly followed him.

"Wait me! Why are you walking so fast?!"

"My way too fast? Obviously it's because your legs are too short!" Sahut Wiro's.

"Hey! It was a personal attack! I mind!" Lina said her objection.

"Deflection denied!" Sahut Wiro again.

Meli, carrying the skins of her family, was following them from afar.

He heard a silly and childish quarrel, between a tall figure and a short figure, who was walking in front of him, he could not help but laugh.

"A little riot is interesting!"

Lina then dried the skins of the beast at the top of the mountain. When the sun goes down, he takes it.

As he prepared to cook dinner, he suddenly recalled the broth he had given to Wiro last night.

The man had finished the broth given to him, but had not returned the bowl.

Then he went towards the next house looking for Wiro and extended his right hand.

"Where's the bowl? Return it!"

Wiro shunned his gaze, and said, "What bowl?"

"The wooden bowl that contained the broth last night. Which Uriel brought here for you. Don't pretend to be stupid. Quickly grab and return the bowl to me."

Lina looked at him, thinking this person was really evil. He also wanted to take his bowl even though he had been given soup. He didn't even want to give up the free opportunity.

Wiro knew he could not hide it anymore, he finally took out and took out the wooden bowl he had cleaned, and he would make it his most precious item.

Because it was the only item, which the little girl had given him. He was very reluctant to return it.

Lina grabbed the wooden bowl, then immediately turned around and ran away.

At night, Uriel returned with the fruits of her quarry.

He carefully placed the leather bag on the table, "This is all the plants you need. I've already found it for you."

Gleefully, Lina ran over and opened the leather bag, then took out all the plants that were inside, to be identified one by one.

"All these are the plants I need, none lacking!"

Lina was very happy too. There is a kind of white fruit. The water taste salty, can be used as a substitute for salt.

In addition, there are leaves that are red, with a spicy taste.

Lastly, there is a sweet fruit that is often eaten by Lina. It tastes very sweet, can replace sugar.

With the availability of these spices, Lina happily started frying two dishes, and boiled a large pot of meat broth.
