Chapter 91 The sour soup pot
came out this time with the backbone of the two tribes, both sub-orcs and orcs, both with very good skills.
The orc who had avoided having his leg hair pulled out took the initiative and gently stuck his companion's leg hair to the green velvet insect.
The fluff was light enough and large enough. After it was glued to the green velvet worm with resin, the green velvet worm struggled for a while and still flew up, flying forward crookedly.
Everyone observed for a while and found that the green velvet bug seemed to have no intention of collecting pollen anymore and was probably flying to the insect nest. They suddenly became energetic and quietly followed the green velvet bug.
After the green velvet worms are stuck to the down, they can't escape everyone's eyes no matter how fast they fly.
Everyone ran behind the green velvet worm all the way, and after running a long distance, they finally saw the green velvet worm stop, fall to the ground, and start to drill into a hole the size of a soybean.
If it weren't for the green velvet bugs that led the way, they really wouldn't have been able to find such a small hole in the vast wilderness.
It's much simpler now.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Dig?"
"Dig!"
Those with daggers took daggers, those with hoes took hoes, and everyone dug along the entrance of the hole.
Jian Mo squatted aside and watched.
When the hole was slightly dug, he soon discovered that the insect tunnel inside the hole was quite obvious. The surrounding soil was very moist, but the four walls of the tunnel remained dry and smooth.
They dug along the insect path and soon saw green velvet insects burrowing in and out.
Immediately afterwards, they dug up the nest of the green velvet worm.
The green antler insect's nest is like an underground palace, more than one meter high.
The insect nest was closely combined with the soil, and it also gave off a special fishy sweet smell. Even Jian Mo, who had a weak sense of smell, could smell the smell at once.
"I really dug out the insect nest."
"Okay, this insect nest is big enough."
"Be careful not to collapse the insect nest. Hey, start from the four corners, just take half of it."
Everyone carefully broke off the insect nest and placed it in a basket lined with hay.
When they broke apart, as they squeezed, the insect nest overflowed with a large amount of mucus.
Jian Mo kept staring at the slime.
Ye Luo looked at him like this and asked him: "What's wrong?"
Jian Mo felt incredible: "How to use this mucus?"
Ye Luo lowered his voice: "Squeeze it out and filter it, boil it and let it cool before use "Some people add animal oil to cook it, which is more effective."
Jian Mo touched his ears and lowered his voice: "Does this mean the lubrication effect will be better?
" One is a single sub-orc, and the other is not good at doing these things. They are both squeezed to the outside of the crowd, so they can chat quietly.
Ye Luo said: "Not only that, I heard that this mucus has aphrodisiac effect."
Jian Mo's eyes widened with a "Wow" expression on his face.
Ye Luo was a little embarrassed by him, and his voice became more serious: "The old people in the tribe said that using the mucus from the green velvet nest can also help you conceive babies."
People in this world are not very popular . It's easy to get pregnant, and the temptation is really great.
Jian Mo had a skeptical attitude: "Is it true?"
Ye Luo: "Several orcs who got married and had babies soon said that they used the nest mucus of the green velvet worm."
Then Jian Mo stared at it. Looking at the insect nest, if this is the case, can the green velvet insect nest make the sperm more active?
When everyone comes out to collect, they basically only take half of what they collect.
Green velvet insect nests are relatively rare, but we have no intention of taking away all the insect nests.
The person in charge of collecting the insect nest quickly collected half of it and told the others that they could fill it back with soil.
Once the soil is filled back in and a path is left for the velvet worms, they will make their nests in the original place.
The next time people come over, they might be able to find this insect nest and collect half of it.
Jian Mo kept staring at the insect nest, watching everyone's movements, and suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
Everyone was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Jian Mo pondered: "Do you think this insect nest is particularly new? The outermost one is The part is almost as new as the center. "
This view is quite novel. Everyone observed it and agreed with him: "It is indeed quite new, but what's wrong?"
Jian Mo tried to reason: "The insect nest is so new, it means that they may be recent. We just moved here. The entire insect nest was built together and has not been expanded. Since we just moved here recently, there should be other insect nests nearby. Otherwise, where would they move from? "
Although Jian Mo is not familiar with green velvet insects, But familiar with bees.
When he was in school, as a veterinarian, he also took elective courses related to beekeeping. If he works in a place like a veterinary station after graduation, these skills will be useful.
According to the habits of insects, even if they move, they will probably not move too far from their original place. Instead, they will find a familiar place to continue to make their home - if there are no natural enemies in the original place.
Everyone didn't expect this, but after thinking about it, they thought it made sense:
"Then let's look for other nests of green velvet worms nearby?"
"The green velvet worms are so small, they are probably difficult to find."
"Yazheng is looking for us? " Ya Zheng, aren't you from the giant armored beast family? With your sense of smell, you should be able to find it, right?"
"Let's search separately and look for small holes on the ground first. If we find Ya Zheng, you can come over and smell it."
After a preliminary discussion, Everyone decided on a search strategy.
Jian Mo, along with Qing Kuo and Ye Luo, led the way and then looked for the nest of the green velvet worm.
In the process of searching, they found a lot of wild vegetables, bird eggs, bugs and the like. As long as they were edible, they put them away in the baskets on their backs without ceremony.
They didn't find it here. Another group of sub-orcs from the Riverside tribe took the lead in discovering a suspected hole and hurriedly called Yazheng to go over.
Yazheng took a sniff, and sure enough he smelled the smell of green velvet worms.
Everyone was not polite and immediately rushed over to dig. After a while, they dug up another nest of green velvet worms. They also took half of the nest and filled it back with the excavated soil, leaving only a worm tunnel for the green velvet worms. The velvet worms continue to come in and out.
After the first experience, everyone quickly tried to find the third nest of green velvet worms - according to everyone's observation, the nest of the second nest of green velvet worms was also quite new, and it didn't look like it had lived there for a long time.
According to Jian Mo, he felt that this nest of green velvet worms was not as easy to recognize as the first nest, and it didn't look too new.
However, everyone said that this insect nest was new, and he had no objection. Anyway, it was okay to continue searching with everyone, as he could also pick other spices or food on the way.
During the search, Jian Mo was puzzled: "The nests of green velvet worms are so useful, why don't you raise some? Now that the nests have been dug, it should be easy to dig out the green velvet worms inside too, right?" "
Qing Kuo: "The major tribes have tried to raise them before, but none of them survived. Once people move them, they will not leave the nest, and they will die in the nest, and even the insect nest cannot be used."
Jian Mo Strange: "Can't they stand the smell of humans? If half of the insect nest is broken off like this, would they still be willing to live in it?"
Qing Kuo: "That's no problem. I don't know how they judge it."
Jian Mo: " That's really strange. By the way, there's another question -"
Qing Kuo said helplessly, "Why do you have so many questions?"
Jian Mo: "The last one."
Qing Kuo could only ask."
Jian Mo coughed. He said, "That's right, is using an insect nest really useful for raising cubs? Your two cubs -"
Qing Kuo knocked Jian Mo on the head and refused to answer.
Ye Luo smiled sullenly beside him and didn't answer.
Jian Mo guessed that he must have used it before, otherwise he wouldn't have this reaction.
They were looking for it here, and news came from the other two sides at the same time that they had found it.
After digging, it turned out that there were two more nests of green antler insects, one of which was very big and old.
If we look for it after that, we will never find another insect nest.
There are probably only these four insect nests in this area.
The sun has risen above the head and the weather is getting hotter. Everyone rushes to the temporary camp.
On the way, the sub-orcs from the two tribes separated the insect nests.
A total of four insect nests were found today, two from each tribe, divided equally.
The two tribes will allocate the money according to the situation of their own tribes.
After returning to the camp, the riverside tribe, whether single orcs or those with partners, each took a portion of the insect nest.
Jian Mo also had two pieces in his hand.
Qing Kuo specially warned: "You can use it after you return to the tribe."
Jian Morgen blushed: "Am I such an unreliable person?"
Qing Kuo shrugged: "Who knew? Young friends are quite impulsive."
Jane Mo: "Then we won't do it."
Jian Mo stuffed the insect nest into a clean jar, and the mouth of the jar was specially covered with a layer of cloth to cover it tightly.
When the orcs came back, they saw that the atmosphere in the temporary camp was a bit strange. They asked questions one after another, but were unanimously rejected by the sub-orcs and told them to leave it alone.
Wu Jiong also asked Jian Mo in a low voice.
Jian Mo glanced at him and put her hand under his nose.
He knew it as soon as he smelled it: "Green velvet worm?"
Jian Mo nodded mysteriously and tapped the jar with his finger, making a soft "ding" sound, indicating that it was inside the jar.
Today the orcs brought back more beasts, including many as big as elephants.
These beasts have long hair and two thick and big horns. They are called cross-horned beasts.
Jian Mo felt quite shocked when he stood in front of this beast.
They are so big that they don't even look like beasts on land, but like marine animals in the sea.
Everyone took the time to skin the newly hunted beasts, get the meat, and start tanning the skins.
When Jian Mo was helping to fight, two orcs came to him. One of them was accidentally stepped on by a horned beast, and the other was gored by a horn, both of which needed treatment.
Jian Mo quickly took them to the side to check the wounds.
Fortunately, neither of them were seriously injured. Just apply some medicated oil to reduce swelling and prevent infection.
With the orcs' physique, it is estimated that they will fully recover within three days.
When Jian Mo came back after helping the two orcs take care of their wounds, he saw that everyone had taken out the skin and meat, leaving a pile of white bones next door.
The meat on these bones was basically shaved clean, and Jiujiu took a piece of bone with more meat and played with it.
However, this guy's teeth are not very good. He chewed a piece of bone from left to right, and then from right to left, but he couldn't chew a few shreds of meat.
Jian Mo shook his head helplessly and ran to find Wu Jiong.
Wu Jiong was kneading the skin with leaves when he saw him coming over: "What's wrong?"
Jian Mo: "I'm here to help. Are these bones useless?"
Before Wu Jiong could answer, Ban Ming next to him said: "Yes. , there's just a pile of bones left, even if Chiujiu doesn't eat them, what use can they have?"
Chiujiu gnawed on the bones, and when he heard his name, he took the time to respond in his busy schedule: "Chiujiuââ"
Jian Mo: " There's bone marrow in it."
Ban Ming said, "That's useless. We have so much meat here, how can we use some bone marrow?"
Yun Lun, who was working, heard their voices and asked with a smile. : "Doctor Jian Mo wants this pile of bones? Take it if you want, so that we don't have to find a place to dispose of them."
Jian Mo looked at Wu Jiong, meaning to ask, would it be bad to take it?
Wu Jiong said: "Take it. If you want to carry it back to the tribe, we will make one more trip and transport it back."
Jian Mo waved his hand: "That's not necessary. It's too heavy to carry back. I just want the bone marrow inside. When you're done, can you use an ax to break the bones?"
Wu Jiong: "I'll try it later."
Soon, everyone took out the meat.
Jian Mo ran over to the big pot to prepare dinner.
There were a lot of offal to eat today. He took out the pickles from the jar and planned to make pickles and fry the offal first.
I just happened to bring two large iron pots, which can be heated very fiercely. The stir-fried pickled vegetables will have a strong flavor and should taste good.
In addition to the large iron pot that can be used to stir-fry two vegetables, the earthenware pot can be used to stew bone soup. Put all the wild vegetables picked today into it. It can clear away heat and detoxify while also supplementing vitamins.
The main dish must be barbecue. We have been busy outside today and everyone has consumed a lot, so we need to eat something solid.
Everyone was busy on their own, and finally had dinner when night fell.
Jian Mo was the chef and received unanimous praise from everyone.
People from the Mengshui tribe said one after another:
"Doctor Jian Mo, it would be great if I could come out with you every day."
"I also learned how to cook from you, but the food you made was just a little bit inferior."
"After finishing this time, When can I eat your cooking again?"
Jian Mo said quietly from the side: "Tomorrow morning."
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.
Jian Mo continued: "There is nothing special about my cooking. I have a good pot, a good courage and don't be afraid of burning the dishes, and I am willing to add seasonings, so the dishes will not be unpalatable."
For example, using a large pot When cooking in an iron pot, sometimes the fire is so fierce that the pot bursts into flames, and people nearby subconsciously want to throw away the spatula and run away.
In fact, the dishes produced in this way can stay crispy and full of flavor.
Not to mention seasonings. Even if there is no soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc., he can use five or six kinds of seasonings to cook a meal, such as sugar, salt, clam powder, garlic powder, pepper powder... so many seasonings, It's hard to think whether it tastes good or not.
This is why even though he has no secrets, people around him can't learn how to cook from him. Whether it's tools, seasonings or cooking concepts, they are all too advanced.
After taking a break after eating, Wu Jiong began to split the bones.
He was very strong, and his frame was easy to chop. When he hit the ax, he could create cracks. Then he put it on the stone and hit it with the back of the ax, and the bones broke.
Jian Mo picked up the bones and looked at the marrow inside.
There is indeed a lot of bone marrow inside, because the bones are very large, and you can dig out the bone marrow inside with a scoop.
He previously wanted to throw the bones into the pot and stew them together, but now that he thought about it, the bones were too big to be stewed in the pot, so digging out the marrow and boiling them would be enough.
Everyone was curious about what he did. Some people stayed to help him break bones and dig out marrow, while others went out to help him collect fuel.
That night, Jian Mo set up two pots and started boiling bone marrow on the spot.
Bone marrow is different from animal oil and smells better.
It was getting late and they were preparing to sleep. The orcs on patrol agreed to help watch the fire and add fuel under the pot if the fire was about to go out.
So one night, the aroma of bone marrow wafted throughout the temporary camp, and many people dreamed of the smell of delicious food.
Some beasts were also attracted by the scent and ran over to take a look. They happened to be picked up by the patrolling orcs, who packed them away and put them aside for breakfast the next day.
Jian Mo was thinking about the bone marrow and got up early the next day.
The bone marrow had been boiled clear for a long time, but there was a bit of dried bone marrow beside the pot. Use a shovel to scoop out a piece, throw it into your mouth and taste it, it is very delicious.
This kind of fresh flavor is completely different from the fresh flavor of animal oil. Instead, it has the fresh flavor of dried chicken, and it tastes a bit like chicken powder.
The bone marrow has cooled down but has not yet solidified.
Jian Mo put them into jars, three jars in total, and there was still some base oil left in the two pots.
Everyone came over to take a look, wondering what the bone marrow tasted like.
Seeing them like this, Jian Mo simply shoveled some bone marrow and gave it to them to taste. Unexpectedly, it was very popular.
"This bone marrow is so fragrant, and there is no smell of blood at all."
"No wonder you said that throwing away the bones is a waste. If you don't get the marrow out, it is indeed a waste."
"I think we can try boiling out the marrow next time. It should be delicious to cook something with."
Everyone gathered around the pot to eat the dried bone marrow. Jiujiu smelled the aroma and saw that everyone had it, but it was the only one that didn't have it. He got anxious and squeezed over with his fat buttocks. "Hey. "Uh-huh!"
Jian Mo saw that it was almost speechless, so she had to shovel a piece for it: "Go to the side and eat it, don't come over."
Jiujiu held the large piece of bone marrow in his front paws and moved it with satisfaction. Go to the side and gnaw.
Seeing that everyone liked it very much, Jian Mo suddenly had a thought in her mind: "Have we used up the sour fruit we picked yesterday?"
The sour fruit looks a bit like a girl's fruit, which is a fruit of some kind of grass. It is small but yet It's very sour, and everyone uses it as a seasoning. Jian Mo used some when frying the offal yesterday.
Qing Kuo pulled out the basket and showed it to him: "It's not all used up, there's still a lot more."
Jian Mo: "I want to use it to make a delicacy we have there, which is probably to fry it and make it into soup. Then it can be used to blanch meat and vegetables, and you can also put it down to blanch birds' eggs and the like."
He gave a general description, which received unanimous support from everyone, and they all expressed their desire to try the delicacies he made.
Jian Mo: "You may not be used to it, otherwise I will use one pot to cook this kind of delicacy, and the other pot to cook normally."
Yun Rong came over and said with a smile: "It sounds delicious. Cook it in both pots. Well, otherwise there won't be enough for everyone. If you don't like it, you can still eat it for two. If you are really not used to it, it's okay to take some meat and bake it on the side."
The Mengshui tribe has no objection, and the Riverside tribe has no objection. .
Jian Mo then fried the hot pot base for them on the spot, except that the chilies were replaced with chili peppers, the butter was replaced with animal bone marrow, and the taste was not spicy, but sour soup.
Sheng has plenty of food here, including all kinds of animal meat, poultry meat, offal, fish fillets, as well as bird eggs, mushrooms, wild vegetables and so on.
The dipping sauce is still scallion oil and mushroom sauce. If you like it, you can adjust it yourself. If you don't like it, just eat the vegetables and meat in the pot.
Everyone worked together, putting various vegetables and meats in leaves and placing them in two large circles around the big pot.
One hundred and sixty people were eating hot pot around eight pots, including two huge iron pots and six clay pots. It still looked spectacular.
However, this lazy style of shabu-shabu is much simpler than cooking.
When cooking, Jian Mo estimated that it would take two or three hours to prepare meals for so many people if the iron and clay pots were served together, plus the barbecue.
It only took them more than half an hour to eat hot pot, and everyone was already sitting around the pot, ready to eat.
Jian Mo taught everyone to use chopsticks to rinse the meat. You must wait until the meat changes color before picking it up, but you can't wait too long, as the meat will not taste good when it is old.
Rinse the meat first. Mushrooms and eggs can be put down to cook first, but it is best not to put down all kinds of wild vegetables so quickly.
Everyone saw this novel way of eating and agreed one after another.
Although most people used their chopsticks messily at the beginning, they soon became proficient and could even grab each other's food.
The soup base in the pot was churning. Everyone stood close together and quickly picked up the meat:
"My meat is cooked, who wants it?"
"Eggs! My bird eggs seem to be missing."
"Mushrooms Is it ready to eat? No, I'll wait a little longer." "You
can put down the plate of meat." Jian Mo and Wu Jiong sat next to each other. Wu Jiong relied on his proficiency in using chopsticks and long hands to grab the best meat with a calm face every time and stuff it all into Jian Mo's bowl. Jian Mo breathed and laughed while eating: "How does it taste?" Qing Kuo on Jian Mo's left hand sniffed and said, "No need to ask, you can tell just by looking at everyone going crazy." No matter what happened now People from any tribe couldn't help but ask: "Your previous tribe was too good at making delicacies, right?" "If you hadn't done it, we wouldn't have known that bone marrow could be eaten like this?" " Should we just use the bone marrow instead of the bone marrow? The soup is thick and can be used to scald meat and vegetables. Can it be so delicious?" Jian Mo didn't expect that they could draw inferences and nodded: "If the soup is delicious, the scalded food should be similar except for this sourness. It can taste spicy or spicy, but you need to add a little more oil." Ya Zheng from the Mengshui Tribe said, "We will have another meal when we go back today. Can we put a little more animal oil in it? " After thinking for a while: "Okay? It's best to stir-fry all the seasonings. For the soup base, use broth or bone soup. If the taste is not enough, add some dipping sauce." Yun Luan: "It's really good. We have learned a new way to eat." That's awesome." Jian Mo also didn't expect that the hot pot made with sour fruits would be so sour and fresh, and it tasted even better when dipped in mushroom sauce.
Although the fresh dishes and competitive atmosphere also added some flavor to the hot pot, I have to say that this hot pot was a real success.
After returning, he and Wu Jiong could have two more meals.
I made hot pot for everyone today and used up one jar of bone marrow oil, so he divided the remaining two jars, just enough to make a few more hot pot meals.
After a delicious hot pot meal, the orcs took advantage of the fact that it was still early and took the time to go hunting.
The sub-orcs stayed in the camp, collecting the meat they had dried in the past two days and cleaning up the camp.
They had already caught enough prey in the past two days, and they probably wouldn't be able to carry it back if they continued to hunt.
So today at noon, everyone will bring the prey back and process it, and then they can go back in the afternoon. If everything goes well, they will return to their respective tribes in the evening with a large amount of prey.
Chapter 92 Taking the Cubs
When Jian Mo and the others went back, it was a little later than expected, and it was dark before they arrived at the tribe.
In addition to the patrolling orcs, the cubs playing in the tribe were the first to notice them. They rushed up to them screaming, calling them "father".
Although they have only been out for a few days, these cubs already miss their fathers so much that they cuddle up to them as soon as they see them.
Fathers couldn't stand this scene, especially fathers. They couldn't help but pick up the collar or nape of their cubs and hand them to their partners.
For a moment, the scene was very warm.
Jian Mo looked at the scene in front of him and pressed his face against the back of the giant wolf's neck.
After falling to the ground, Jiujiu came over and imitated the cubs, trying to stick to them.
Jian Mo smiled and rubbed Jiujiu's head, feeling quite warm.
It's really different to have pets that can only look at people's eyes.
However, when Jiujiu was about to land on the back of the giant wolf, Jian Mo couldn't bear it anymore and pushed it with his hand: "This can't be done!"
Jiujiu, this guy, was quite interested in comparing himself with the cubs. It wants what the cubs have, but with its huge body, Jian Mo feels that it is really not good enough.
Jiu Jiu felt aggrieved: "Hey."
Jian Mo rubbed it and said, "Hurry up and carry the meat back. Let's have a good meal tonight."
The people who went out this time brought back a large amount of meat. In addition to giving part to the tribe, the rest It's all up to each family.
Jian Mo also has a lot of meat at home.
Although the meat has been preliminarily processed, it is not completely dried and requires further processing.
Jian Mo took out the bacon that had been dried before and continued to dry it. He cut the meat that he got today into strips and put it in a frying pan to fry slowly over low heat, intending to make it into shredded pork jerky for storage.
The fried meat can be stored in a cool and dry place for at least a month. It is more convenient to eat and tastes better.
They worked until midnight to finish processing all the food they brought back.
Jian Mo couldn't stand the stickiness on his body, so they went out to take a bath by the river outside.
Seeing the moon above her head, Jian Mo asked, "Is it almost the full moon night of the second month?"
The second full moon night in spring is the Festival of All Beasts, and Jian Mo is looking forward to such a lively day. It's a pity that the natural moon here is much longer than that on the earth, so we can't wait for the full moon night.
Wu Jiong calculated: "There are still six or seven days."
Jian Mo was so sleepy that she put her face on his arm: "Then let's have a good rest in the next few days. The food we harvested this time is a lot, but it's not Too tired."
Wu Jiong touched the back of Jian Mo's neck: "You can rest if you want. Our family is not short of food."
Jian Mo was very moved, but still refused the proposal: "Forget it, we can't live like this. "
After taking a bath, Wu Jiong carried Jian Mo home to sleep.
Jian Mo didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. He yawned and walked around the house. He found that Wu Jiong had gotten up early and had gone hunting with the tribe.
There was some food left for him in the cupboard.
Jian Mo took out the food and ate, thinking about it while eating.
Life here is relatively simple, but fortunately there are no bugs, let alone cockroaches.
If there is, go to the tribe and pick up a cub and let the cub come back.
Whether it's a feline cub or a canine cub, catching a bug shouldn't be a problem. Thinking of this, Jian Mo sat on the chair alone and had fun for a long time.
After two days of rest, Jian Mo finally regained his energy.
He found the green velvet worm's nest, squeezed out the juice with gauze and filtered it, then took a new earthenware pot that had never been used before and cooked it.
This thing was relatively rare, and he was afraid it would go bad if he didn't handle it.
After cooking it, there was only a little bit, not enough for half a jar. He looked at it, followed the example of the local orcs, put some animal oil in it and cooked it together, and also added some heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory herbs.
After cooking it again, it feels much more right.
This cream is delicate and oily, and indeed feels better than the cream I got from the Mengshui Tribe before.
Jian Mo pulled Wu Jiong to try.
Wu Jiong grabbed both of Jian Mo's wrists and kissed him while whispering: "Will there be a baby if I use it? Your body is not well enough to conceive a baby."
Jian Mo raised his fingers and waved them in front of his eyes. Akira: "I can't even pop out my claws. I don't have the conditions to conceive a baby at all. Don't worry. Besides, we can't stop doing it, right?"
At this time, Jian Mo's fingertips just felt a little itchy. You can see the claws developing inside, but it will probably take a while before they are fully developed.
Faced with Jian Mo's enthusiasm, Wu Jiong kissed his ear.
The two spent a happy and exciting night.
It was unbearable because Wu Jiong always explored Jian Mo's reproductive cavity, which made Jian Mo want to kick her.
However, Wu Jiong confirmed very rigorously that the reproductive cavity was indeed not developed yet, with only a shallow gap, so there was no possibility of conceiving a cub for the time being.
Jian Mo bit Wu Jiong several times for this, leaving clear teeth marks on each bite.
Before the second full moon night came, Jian Mo made two hot pot meals at home.
There are more spices at home and the conditions are better, so the hot pot base he cooks is more fragrant.
After the hot pot base solidifies, it takes on a wonderful green-yellow color. It looks a bit like green peppercorn hot pot ingredients. Because there are enough pepper stamens, it actually tastes a bit similar. They are both spicy and exciting. There are large leaves of garlic in them. The powdery scent is even more prominent.
Jian Mo looked at the hot pot base and wanted to eat crayfish.
The hot pot base can be used not only for making hot pot, but also for frying crayfish. The taste is also outstanding.
Besides, it was almost summer. In the past, he could not live without crayfish every summer. Although there was no beer and watermelon in this world, he might be able to find a substitute for crayfish.
Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong if there were any creatures like crayfish here, and specifically described the appearance of the crayfish.
Wu Jiong thought for a while and said: "There is a similar creature in the green swamp where we went to catch fish, but it is much larger. We call it a plankworm."
Jian Mo was confused: "Why is it called a plankworm? Because it is called a plankworm. Does it eat wood?"
Wu Jiong: "No, it is wide and flat, like a wooden board, so we call it a wooden board bug."
Jian Mo was curious about how much this thing looks like a wooden board, and people here actually gave it that name. Humble name: "How about we go and have a look tomorrow?"
Wu Jiong: "Okay, I'll make some arrangements."
They haven't been to Green Marsh Source for a long time. Jian Mo originally just wanted to spend a two-person world with Wu Jiong. Just tweet.
After hearing this, Ban Ming and others clamored to go together.
Ban Ming's reason is very good: "The patriarch has never liked to play with this stuff since he was a child, but we are different. We will go out to catch them for fun when we have nothing to do. We know exactly where the woodworms are most. Take us with you. , let's catch the big and fat ones."
Ahu: "Nowadays, woodworms still have paste. Although it is a bit troublesome to eat and there is not much meat, the paste is quite delicious."
Ranwu, who was following beside him, was curious: "Is the paste a little fishy?"
Ah Hu: "It's not fishy. Just put a wooden stick on its butt and bake it. Then it won't smell fishy."
Jian Mo had a headache from reading it, so she had to agree to take it with her.
Wu Jiong saw a large group of people dragging behind him and asked him to bring the cubs with him.
Ban Ming was reluctant: "The cubs can't transform yet, what should we do with them?"
Wu Jiong: "There is no danger in the green marsh source. Let's take them out to play and see what it looks like outside."
Ban Ming A few of them muttered, and finally agreed to take the cubs with them.
With Wu Jiong around, the parents didn't have any objections.
The cubs didn't have any objections. One or two, their eyes were bright, and you could see how happy they were from the tips of their tails raised high.
The cubs were much more diligent than Ban Ming and the others, waiting outside Jian Mo early in the morning.
When Jian Mo opened the door in the morning, he saw a group of furry cubs and children lying next to each other outside, sleeping soundly, feeling extremely soft.
He carried them to the living room one by one and let the little ones go back to sleep.
After breakfast, Ban Ming and his group of young orcs and sub-orcs finally arrived.
Everyone has the habit of taking care of the cubs in the tribe.
So, each giant beast carried several fluffy kittens, wolves, foxes, and small sub-orcs on its back, and ran towards the source of the green marsh.
The cubs are each more powerful than the other. No matter whether they grab their brothers' hair with their little hands or hold them in their mouths, they won't fall off.
If any of the giant beasts ran too fast and their backs were bumpy, they would laugh proudly because they had secured their grip and were not thrown off.
When Jian Mo saw this scene, he felt very regretful and his cell phone was out of battery.
Otherwise, just take a picture of this group of big furries carrying a group of little furries and make a photo to hang at home. It will definitely be an excellent decorative painting.
With the lively atmosphere of the little cubs, Jian Mo felt that the journey was not that far away, and she arrived there while laughing and joking.
After arriving at the destination, Wu Jiong directed the group of teenage beasts to put down the cubs, and then patrolled across to eliminate nearby dangers.
There are no large beasts here in Green Marsh Source, but it will definitely be safer to check again.
There has been a lot of rain this year, so they haven't been here for a long time, and they still want to check whether there are any hidden swamps, or whether the creeks and rivers have become deeper.
Jian Mo looked at Wu Jiong's command and could hardly move his eyes away.
The cubs and young sub-orcs were making noises from behind, and Jian Mo said openly: "Don't you think your clan leader looks particularly handsome and charming at this time?"
The little guys didn't dare to shake their heads, but they looked at him with a smile on his face. The serious Wu Jiong obviously didn't appreciate it.
Jian Mo observed the expressions of the little guys and smiled: "That's why I am Wu Jiong's partner."
Wu Jiong must have heard it not far away, and his ears turned red.
Ban Ming and the others started making noises without fear of death.
The atmosphere at the scene was very joyful.
Wu Jiong assigned manpower, an orc and a sub-orc to lead a group of cubs, and ensure the safety of the cubs while playing.
After confirming that the responsibilities were in place, Wu Jiong waved his hand to let them move freely.
Jian Mo walked over to Wu Jiong, smiled and asked in a low voice: "We two don't have to take care of the cub? It's time for Ban Ming and the others to complain about how unfair it is."
Wu Jiong said calmly: "Let them complain, who made me the leader of the clan?" ?"
Jian Mo laughed and pulled Wu Jiong: "Let's go find the wooden plank worms you mentioned."
Wu Jiong had just asked where the plank worms were. Hearing Jian Mo's words, he took him there directly.
They searched in a small mud stream.
Not many people come here. There are many fish in the small mud stream. Jian Mo caught several fish before catching the wood board worm.
He doesn't dislike the fish either, so he throws them all into the basket and then soaks the basket in water. When he returns, he can fry the fish or make fish balls, both of which are delicious.
After searching for a while, Wu Jiong caught a big muddy guy from the mud and said to Jian Mo, "This is the woodworm."
The guy opened his teeth and claws. Jian Mo looked at Wu Jiong's hand and found this The insect was indeed flat, like a board.
It was wider than Wu Jiong's hand, its claws were moving back and forth, and it was struggling desperately. Its head was also bit by bit, and the two horns on its head formed two big claws, one at a time, trying to attack the person who caught it. .
Jian Mo was stunned: "Isn't this a Pipa shrimp?"
Wu Jiong: "A worm from your place?"
Jian Mo: "It's not a worm, it's a kind of shrimp in the sea. Hey, I can't tell. Anyway, I'm quite familiar with this creature. It looks quite delicious."
Wu Jiong looked at the wooden plank worm in his hand. At first glance, this guy had more shells and less flesh. It looked ferocious, and it didn't look very delicious.
Jian Mo was very excited: "Really, whether it's steamed or stir-fried, it's all delicious. Throw it into the basket and we'll look for it again."
When Wu Jiong threw the plank worm in, Jian Mo was a little worried: "It Will it catch fish?"
Wu Jiong: "No, it's too slow to catch fish."
While Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were chatting, Ban Ming and the others shouted from the front: "Brother Jian Mo, how many did you catch? "We have already caught several here." Jian Mo said smoothly: "There is already one, and we have seen another one .
If we catch two more, we will have several."
When Mo said this, everyone's minds were almost at a loss for words.
After being stunned for a moment, everyone burst into laughter, even the little cubs burst into laughter.
Ban Ming: "Brother Jian Mo, you have changed."
Jian Mo: "That's not true, I just showed my true face."
Everyone laughed again, and Wu Jiong also had a smile in his eyes.
Catching woodworms requires some skills. Jian Mo caught them several times, but every time he was afraid that the insects would attack him twice.
Fortunately, as long as you catch it from behind and don't get caught by it or get scratched by its shell, things are relatively simple.
Jian Mo caught them one by one, and soon discovered that probably because no one ate them, the woodworms here were bigger and fatter than the last ones.
There were several large ones, longer than his arms.
Everyone searched all morning and returned with a full load.
However, all the cubs turned into mud cubs, with even their fur falling off.
Seeing this, Wu Jiong ordered Ban Ming and the others to take the cubs to take a bath.
Ban Ming and the others grumbled, but in the end they couldn't resist the patriarch's order, so they had to take the little ones to the river to take a bath.
The little guys hadn't had such fun in a long time. They were so tired that they stuck out their tongues and kept laughing until their throats were almost hoarse.
When Ban Ming and the others took the cubs to take a bath and dry their fur when they came back, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were brushing away woodworms in the yard.
They crowded over to watch, pushing Jiujiu to the back.
Ban Ming asked: "Brother Jian Mo, how do you want to eat this plankworm?"
Jian Mo: "Stir-fry it with hot pot base with pepper powder. Do you want to eat it? Wait, you have eaten this before. "Is that so?" Ban
Ming's eyes widened: "By the way, who didn't eat woodworms when they were young?"
Jian Mo asked with a smile, "Did anyone get a rash after eating it?"
They all shook their heads. Both the orcs and the sub-orcs were pretty solid and had no such problems.
Jian Mo then said, "You can try it later and see if my hometown flavor suits your taste."
At this time, both teenagers and cubs looked over with bright eyes.
Ban Ming took the grass from Jian Mo's hand with a wink and said: "Brother Jian Mo, let's wash it."
Jian Mo thought about it and said, "That's okay. Then be careful and don't get caught."
Ban Ming Hahaed twice: "How can we be trapped? We were not caught when we were caught, and it is even less likely to be caught now."
Others nodded in agreement.
Jian Mo gave them the task of cleaning the plankworms and took Wu Jiong to the fields to pick big leaf garlic.
Large leaf garlic has a bitter taste. After harvesting it, fry it slowly over low heat until fragrant. Then drain off the oil and you will get a garlic crisp full of garlic flavor.
By the time Jian Mo's side dishes were ready, Ban Ming and his team's wooden planks had also been cleaned.
Jian Mo directed them to twist off the woodworm's head, leaving only the fleshy tail.
This step can only be done by adults, and the cubs cannot interfere.
For teenagers who are used to hunting and gathering, this is simply too simple, and they finished processing the two large pots in a short time.
Jian Mo lit the fire and prepared to fry the woodworms.
Use a lot of oil, first fry various spices until fragrant, then add bone marrow oil, and then put the tail of the plankworm in it.
After a brief stir-fry, the worm tails turn an attractive red color and the delicious flavor steams up.
Jian Mo stir-fry directly with a large shovel, wait until everything is cooked and fragrant, then add fruit wine to remove the fishy smell and add fragrance, then pour in boiling water and mushroom sauce and simmer, add some powdered sugar and shellfish powder to increase the freshness.
Everyone crowded in the kitchen and yard, eagerly smelling the rich fragrance.
It smells so good.
The bone marrow oil smells so good.
The mushroom sauce is so delicious.
The wood worms are very fragrant, and the large-leaf garlic powder sprinkled in is also very fragrant.
The teenagers are okay, the cubs and tweets are drooling.
Jian Mo used high heat to reduce the sauce, and when the soup underneath thickened, each piece of worm tail was coated in the oily sauce. He then sprinkled a layer of fried large-leaf garlic and broadleaf grass, stir-fried evenly, and then put it on two plates. into a big basin and let the teenagers carry it to the yard.
Jian Mo asked them to reach out and pick it up: "Eat slowly, it's a bit hot."
Everyone responded in unison.
This hot feeling is not a problem for teenagers with rough skin and thick flesh. They pick it up and take a sip of the delicious and rich slightly spicy soup, and then use both hands to break open the shell.
The tender and springy snow-white tail meat inside was exposed. Two thick pieces were taken into a bite, and it was fresh and tender. There was no fishy smell at all, only a rich aroma.
After eating the tail meat, eat the orange-red tail paste hidden underneath, which is even more delicious and has an endless aftertaste.
Teenagers break it, bite it, suck it, and finish a wormtail in two or three mouthfuls.
It's not so easy for the cubs. They hold the insect tail with their two small hands or two paws, slowly chew the outer shell, and then break it open to eat the meat inside.
Eating this way is slower, but you can eat delicious tail meat in every bite. The cubs narrowed their eyes with happiness.
Chirp's teeth are not very easy to use. When eating worm tails, he follows the same path as the cubs. He grabs it with his two short front paws and gnaws it slowly, sucking it from time to time. It looks very comfortable.
Jian Mo glanced around and saw that the possibility of an accident was relatively low, so he averted his gaze and began to nibble on the tail meat that Wu Jiong had peeled for him.
It has to be said that this kind of freshly caught aquatic products is delicious, much better than the farmed products I have eaten before. It is difficult for farmed products to have such plump and elastic meat.
Although it is a little troublesome to handle, the meat is so delicious.
It is indeed a delicious dish of crayfish.
Chapter 93: Festival
of Beasts After the cubs in the riverside tribe once again experienced the charm of delicious food, they spent most of their time playing games cooking and playing house.
But unlike the human cubs Jian Mo had seen playing house, these little guys actually lit fires, cooked food in clay pots, and ate the cooked food.
The adults in the tribe thought it was fun and didn't stop them. They just asked the patrolling orcs to keep an eye on them and not burn down the house.
Jian Mo looked at it and felt that the cubs were living a happy life.
Cubs on Earth don't have that much freedom.
Jiujiu originally loved hanging out with the cubs, but now he likes it even more. He covets the food cooked by the cubs every day.
After all, the food made by the cubs is mostly meat, which is still very tempting to Jiujiu.
The cubs are very generous. If they have a share, Jiujiu will have a share. Jiujiu will eat the snacks along with them, and they will be very happy.
Jian Mo was a little worried that it would ruin its stomach.
But think about it, in the past, it was fine just looking for food in the wild, and it wouldn't have eaten up its stomach after coming to the tribe.
Thinking of this, Jian Mo didn't care.
The little guys are working so hard to feed Chiu Chiu, so we still need to support them.
After returning in the evening, Jian Mo took a small jar and stopped the cubs who were playing house: "Jiang Xing, come here, I have something for you."
The cubs headed by Jiang Xing turned their heads. , called Jian Mo: "Brother Jian Moââ"
Jiu Jiu turned around and said: "Ziu Jiu."
Before Jian Mo could speak, Jiang Xing said excitedly: "Brother Jian Mo, our food is ready, do you want to try it? ?"
As he spoke, Zefeng behind Jiang Xing quickly scooped out a plate of dishes. The little white wolf Zhoudao opened his mouth and ran up to Jian Mo with the plate in his mouth, saying vaguely: "Jian Mo. Brother, here, ow."
Jian Mo looked at the dark dish and declined the little white wolf's kindness: "I won't eat it. I'll give you some seasoning powder. You can try using seasoning powder in cooking. "
Jian Mo's seasoning powder is made with salt powder, garlic powder, honey powder, clam powder, etc. It is fragrant and fresh. As long as the dishes are not burnt, it will taste good when sprinkled with this seasoning powder.
This also counts as his support for the cubs.
After the cubs heard it, they cheered and ran over.
Jiang Xing took the jar with his chubby little hands: "Thank you, brother Jian Moââ"
The cubs shouted in unison: "Thank you, brother Jian Moââ"
Seeing how well-behaved they were, Jian Mo patted their heads one by one, and finally touched their heads. The one who put his big head close to him chirped: "Okay, you go and play."
The cubs nodded, huddled together, and went to experiment with the new seasoning powder excitedly.
Before Jian Mo could turn his head, he heard someone calling him: "You are so interested in playing with these little guys."
He turned around and saw that it was Fuzhou and the others.
Jian Mo was curious: "Don't you have to go out to collect today? Where were you? What's in the basket?"
Fuzhou was mysterious: "Bath flowers, look-"
Jian Mo really didn't know what bath flowers were. When I walked over and took a look, I saw small round cake-like flowers in the basket of the pontoon.
Fuzhou: "Quickly touch it."
Jian Mo touched it and felt that the raised stamens were a bit like a small silicone brush head. They were soft and quite comfortable to touch.
Jian Mo: "Hey, it's so amazing. I haven't seen it before."
Zhou Fu: "Smell it, it's even more amazing."
Jian Mo put his hand under his nose, and he smelled a faint fragrance.
Xilu said from the side: "We are going to take bathing flowers to take a bath, will you go?"
Jian Mo: "Are you preparing for the Festival of Beasts?"
Zhou Fu: "Yes, bathing flowers are only available these days. Let's find some." It took me a long time to find this basket. "
Tonight is the second full moon night of spring, and it is also the Festival of All Beasts.
Each tribe would light bonfires to celebrate. When Jian Mo just came from home, he saw Qing Kuo and the others already busy in the open space, with barbecue and fruit wine ready.
In the evening, everyone will get together to sing and dance, and the young orcs will transform into animal forms and rush to various tribes to meet their lovers. If their sub-orc companions in the tribe need help, they will also take them there.
At the same time, some people will go on dates in the wild.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong are going to the Ambus River to enjoy the moon at night and avoid the crowds for a date.
Jian Mo asked: "Qingkuo and the others are still preparing the bonfire. Do you need help?"
Zhoufu and others chattered: "We have already asked and they said they are almost busy. We don't need to go there. Qingkuo and the others will do it later." Come here and give them some bath flowers when the time comes."
Jian Mo nodded: "I'll go too."
Zhou Fu: "Hurry up, it's almost dark."
A group of people ran to the place where they usually take a bath.
Although as the weather gets warmer, the frequency of bathing has also increased, but people rarely wash it so seriously, and their attitude is almost solemn.
Jian Mo found a quiet place and saw that they were already helping each other cut their hair and clean their body hair, and felt their seriousness.
At the same time, some people came up with dyeable flowers to dye their lips and cheeks.
These colors make them look even more attractive under the moonlight.
Jian Mo looked at it and thought it was strange. He thought of birds in their mating period.
People in the orc world treat this matter like birds in courtship, serious and unrestrained.
There is a vibrant beauty.
Soon, Qing Kuo and the others also arrived.
Seeing Jian Mo watching with a smile, everyone came over to pull him: "Don't just look at it, come and tidy it up."
Jian Mo refused: "I don't really want to dye it."
Qing Kuo: "Then fix your hair, you His hair is a bit too long. "
That's okay. Jian Mo nodded: "Okay."
Qing Kuo used a knife to help him fix his hair, while Ye Luo helped him tidy up his nails - although Ye Luo didn't want to be with someone for the time being. Orcs form a family, but he will also participate in the Beast Festival and find dates with orcs he likes, so he is also preparing for it today.
Jian Mo was pulled to do some grooming, and Qing Kuo and the others even showed him a mirror.
Even though the mirror was just coated glass and the silhouette of the person reflected was not clear enough, Jian Mo could see that he looked much more energetic in the mirror.
After coming to the orc world, he probably exercised more, went to bed early and got up early, his lines became tighter, and his appearance was actually better than when he was on earth.
Not to mention others, he himself felt a thrill when he saw it.
Jian Mo praised: "Your craftsmanship is also very good."
Qing Kuo looked at him with satisfaction: "You are good-looking."
Jian Mo looked at them. The orcs were basically thick-faced, tall and thin, and actually looked pretty good after being dressed up. Their slightly darker skin gave them an exotic look.
Jian Mo said appreciatively: "You are also very good-looking."
Everyone laughed and admired each other, then packed up and went back.
When they returned to the tribe, the young orcs also freshened up and came back.
Like the sub-orcs, the orcs also trimmed their hair, dyed their skin and lips, and wore jewelry, making them look much more refined.
Especially Ah Hu, this beast-man looks like a long-haired orange cat and wears a necklace made of colored glass around his neck. He instantly transforms from a boy into a charming young man.
When Jian Mo looked at him again, he could not imagine how his house collapsed last winter and he was stabbed in the buttocks by a stone. After the treatment, he became so angry that he chased his companions and beat him.
Jian Mo glanced at a group of orcs and sub-orcs with appreciative eyes. When he saw Wu Jiong, his heart skipped a beat.
Wu Jiong just tidied up briefly. He was tall, handsome, and very upright.
Especially the eyes with long eyelashes. When Jian Mo looked over, Jian Mo's heart beat wildly.
Wu Jiong walked over with long legs, smiled at Jian Mo, and stretched out his hand.
Jian Mo put her hand into his palm and whispered: "Oh my God! You are so handsome. I don't want to go to the bonfire party."
Wu Jiong: "Then we won't go."
Jian Mo turned around to look. He: "Really or not? You are the leader of the clan, you can't go, right?"
Wu Jiong: "It doesn't matter, they can guess the reason why we won't go, and someone else will take charge."
Jian Mo was moved by his suggestion for a moment, and finally Still reluctantly refused: "Forget it, it's not that urgent."
Wu Jiong smiled lowly and kissed him: "Let's go to the bonfire party to have a look and then leave."
When they went to the bonfire party, most of them People have arrived.
Hongqiu and the others were greeting people from their own tribe and people from other tribes who came from afar - today all the young people were playing, while the middle-aged and elderly people were doing more preparation work.
Seeing that Wu Jiong was back, Hongqiu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled Wu Jiong and Jian Mo over to greet the others.
Jian Mo followed behind, drinking, eating meat, chatting, dancing, singing... without much hosting, the young people themselves became lively.
Under the moonlight, the high-pitched singing sounded far away, almost reaching the clouds.
Jian Mo played with Wu Jiong twice, then left the riverside tribe after speaking to Hongqiu and others.
Wu Jiong transformed into a huge white wolf and ran towards the Ambus River carrying Jian Mo on his back.
The Ambus River was where they caught salmon a while ago, when the flowers were blooming and the grass was growing well.
Today has passed, and the wildflowers are still in full bloom, and the weeds are still green and velvety.
The moon was full today, and the moon was so bright that they could clearly see the white clouds in the sky and everything in the field.
Jian Mo originally thought they would admire the moon first, but the reality was not as he expected.
Maybe when he brought that pot of ointment made from insect nests, things were bound to get out of his control.
However, it seems good to use up the grease like crazy first, and then admire the moon.
Jian Mo rested her head on Wu Jiong's shoulder and looked at the moon in the sky, feeling a simple and relaxed feeling in her heart.
It seems that there is nothing to worry about in life. All they need is to enjoy the bright moon and the freedom at this moment.
The two of them stayed on the banks of the Ambus River for a long time, and it was already midnight when they returned to the tribe.
The dew came out and wet the giant wolf's feet and tail.
Jian Mo touched the giant wolf's furry ears and felt that his ears were also a little wet.
Jian Mo felt a little drowsy while playing again and again.
On the way back, the giant wolf ran very gently.
Jian Mo rode on him and barely felt any bumps.
When she arrived at the door of her home, she found several people waiting. Jian Mo was a little surprised. She cheered up and asked loudly, "What's wrong?" "
Doctor Jian Moâ" someone shouted and then said vaguely, "Come out." Something unexpected happened, I want you to take a look."
Jian Mo slid off the giant wolf and tightened the belt around his waist: "What's the accident?"
Jian Mo already recognized that it was Meng who spoke. He had met the orc Qi Xia of the Water Tribe several times and was quite familiar with him: "Are you injured?"
Qi Xia opened his mouth and spoke more vaguely: "It's not considered injured. You tell me.
" Then, Qi Xia pushed his companion forward and hid behind him.
The companion opened his mouth, then looked back at Wu Jiong, who had returned to his human form and was adjusting his animal skin skirt, and said with difficulty: "Well, we have a companion - really a companion - he uses that , cough, it's moss, the kind of moss you know, soaked his, cough, it's that-"
The poor orc stammered, and couldn't finish his sentence for a long time.
Jian Mo: "???"
Jian Mo answered tentatively: "Lower body?"
Qi Xia: "Yes..."
The companion: "Anyway, that's how it is now. There's something wrong after having sex..."
Jian Mo struggled to follow After being soaked in anesthesia, he came back to his senses from the shock: "Why do you do this?"
The companion stuttered even more: "Yes, it is said that it will take a little longer..."
...It is indeed the unrestrained orc world.
Jian Mo suddenly remembered that the ointments used by their tribe were all from the Mengshui tribe.
Products related to the Mengshui tribe are really developed.
It doesn't seem to be very reliable, so I may need to change it less often in the future.
Jian Mo opened his mouth and closed it again, and asked seriously: "Tell me what's wrong, shall you?"
The companion: "Well, I don't feel it right anymore."
Jian Mo: "Because I drank too much?"
Qi Xia : "We don't know very well, something is wrong now."
Jian Mo thought for a while: "You describe it this way, and I can't guess what is wrong. Can you take me over to have a look?"
Qi Xia: "Uh. "It doesn't seem to work. He doesn't want people to know."
The companion: "Just, he just wants us to ask what to do."
Jian Mo asked again.
The people of the Mengshui tribe refused to let go. They neither wanted Jian Mo to see it nor let him know who it was.
Jian Mo had no choice but to suggest: "In this case, there should be too much medicine. Just wait a little longer. It should be fine tomorrow after the effect of the medicine wears off."
Several people from the Mengshui tribe nodded and ran away, Jian Mo hurriedly He added: "If he is still not well tomorrow, let him come to me. This is a very serious matter and cannot be delayed."
Several people nodded faster and hurriedly ran two steps, carrying Jian Mo and Wu Jiong on their backs. He changed back into his animal form and ran away.
Jian Mo watched their backs disappear under the moonlight, rubbed his face for a while, and let out a loud laugh.
Wu Jiong pinched the back of his neck gently: "Stop laughing."
Jian Mo bent over: "Hahahaha, it's so weird, I can't help it."
Wu Jiong also smiled: "I heard it earlier They would play like this, I didn't expect it to be so big."
Jian Mo: "I kind of understand why they discovered the anesthetic effect of moss first. They are really adventurous, hahaha."
Wu Jiong: "Let's go back to sleep. "
Jian Mo straightened up and said suddenly, "I'm a little more energetic. I can explore again."
Wu Jiong asked, "Can we explore with moss?"
Jian Mo said, "Of course not! Let's just explore normally." , you think?!"
Wu Jiong: "I don't need to use moss to extend the time."
That's right. Jian Mo couldn't help laughing and opened the door: "
Chapter 94 Checking
After the Festival of Beasts passed, Jian Mo's clinic opened again.
This time he put the mask firmly on his face, both for safety and hygiene, and to hide his expression.
In some cases he was afraid he would laugh.
Generally speaking, people are okay. Although sometimes they have a lot of fun, it is just a small fun between lovers. It does not involve many people and there is no risk of cross-infection.
Jian Mo looked at it and felt that it was not too bad.
When there were fewer patients and the collective visits to see the doctor came to an end, Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong: "I want to go and visit the Mengshui tribe."
Wu Jiong: "The orcs over there didn't come to see you later?"
Jian Mo Shaking his head: "No. But giving him a follow-up consultation is part of it. I also want to see Xingyuan. I haven't seen him for a while. I wonder how he is doing in the Mengshui Tribe?"
After all, he was also the little orc they rescued. Jian Mo was still thinking about it.
Wu Jiong: "Tomorrow I will lead a team to go hunting, and the day after tomorrow?"
Jian Mo agreed: "Okay, I will replenish the medicine in the next two days, and disinfect the equipment and other things."
Jian Mo is going to Meng Shui. The tribe, several people in the tribe who heard the news, came quietly to look for him.
Zhou Fu and several sub-orcs mysteriously pulled Jian Mo into the house.
Jian Mo was a little strange: "What is going on?"
Zhou Fu looked at Jian Mo with bright eyes: "You are going to the Mengshui Tribe, right?"
Jian Mo: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Fu took out a scroll from the basket on his back. Cloth: "If you go, can you help us change the ointment?"
Another sub-orc man whispered: "Our ointment has been almost used during the Beast Festival."
Jian Mo looked at their supplies, I also thought about the formulas of various ointments that I accidentally obtained while treating people from various tribes in the past few days.
The anointing of the Mengshui tribe is really weird sometimes.
Seeing Jian Mo's silence, Zhou Fu and the others asked cautiously: "What's wrong? Isn't it possible?"
Jian Mo said slowly: "I was wondering if it would be better for our tribe to do something ourselves."
Zhou Fu and the others were surprised: "You Do you know how to make ointment?"
Jian Mo said, "I didn't know how to do it before. I learned it in the past two days, but I don't have time to do it. It will take a while."
Zhou Fu and the others just stuffed the cloth in their hands . To him:
"Don't worry, you can make it when you have time. We'll make a reservation first."
"Hey, if you know how, it will be much more convenient for us in the future."
"We just celebrated the Festival of Beasts and need to take a rest. We just want to Get some grease ready."
Jian Mo returned the fabric to them and asked them to change it after the grease is ready.
Give the cloth now, he is afraid it will be mixed up later.
Zhou Fu and others didn't mind, as long as Jian Mo was willing to do it anyway.
Jian Mo is now very familiar with the Mengshui tribe, and the psychological distance has become much closer.
They set off early in the morning, and when Jiujiu flew to the Mengshui tribe, the sun had just risen.
When Yun Rong heard the news, he came to receive them in person: "Why are you here?"
Jian Mo: "I want to see Xing Yuan's condition and help him review it."
Yun Rong smiled: "Thank you for your hard work. I will take you there. "
Yun Rong took them to Xingyuan's new home. Xingyuan had been able to transform back into human form and was entertaining them in human form.
This little orc is more lively than before, and his eyes look a little shy, but there is no fear or nervousness anymore.
When he saw Jian Mo and Wu Jiong, he said hello in a low voice: "Doctor Jian Mo, leader of the Wu Jiong clan."
Jian Mo touched his little head: "Let me check for you, are there any abnormalities on your body?" A comfortable place?"
Xingyuan shook his head like a rattle. Jian Mo took out the stethoscope and smiled: "Can I take a look?"
Xingyuan nodded.
Jian Mo listened to his heart and abdominal sounds, and then carefully checked where the skin had ulcerated.
His two fathers should have taken good care of him. There are no traces of the ulcers on his skin. From the gloss of his skin and nails, it can be seen that he has been doing well recently and he should have returned to his normal life.
After Jian Mo finished the examination, he touched Xingyuan's little head and told his two fathers that he was recovering well. He only needed to supplement nutrition and rest normally.
This little cub's animal form has been shaved, and after transforming into a human form, the hair is very short and fluffy, and feels very good in the hand.
Jian Mo touched them again before saying goodbye to their home and going out.
Walking outside the door, Jian Mo said to Yun Rong: "I also want to see Qi Xia. Where is his home?"
Yun Rong: "Qi Xia? What's wrong with him?"
Jian Mo waved his hand: "I want to ask him for some medical treatment. "Isn't it convenient for you to help me?"
Yun Rong said, "It's convenient. Come with me."
Yun Rong then took them to find Qi Xia.
Qi Xia was about to go hunting with the Mengshui tribe, but they happened to block her at the door of her home, and her expression suddenly changed.
Qi Xia: "Jian, Doctor Jian Mo, the leader of the Wujiong clan, the clan leader."
After calling everyone one by one, Qi Xia asked in a low voice: "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Jian Mo wore a mask: "I have a medical question for you. Help, can we talk alone?"
Qi Xia's ears were a little red: "Of course, let's talk in the house."
Qi Xia rushed into the house on both hands and feet, and Jian Mo followed behind.
Yun Lun looked at Wu Jiong who stayed with him and asked with a smile: "I'm really curious, what medical questions does Dr. Jian Mo have to ask?"
Wu Jiong said calmly: "You will know later if you ask Qi Xia "Yes."
Yun You said, "Doctor Jian Mo said we should talk alone. It would be boring for me to ask."
Wu Jiong: "It's not a big deal."
Yun You said again, "If it's a big deal, they won't. You dare to hide it from me. But speaking of it, Doctor Jian Mo is really trusted by everyone." Wu Jiong said every word like a conclusion. Yun Luan couldn't continue the conversation, so
he had to shut up.
Without saying a word, he stood outside the door and waited with him.
Really free, Yun Chou would rather look at Yun than chat with Wu Jiong.
Jian Mo didn't ask anything in the room. He only asked whether the orc whose lower body had been soaked in moss had recovered.
After getting a positive answer, he asked Qi Xia to help tell him to pay attention to the recent period. If anything is wrong, he should go to the riverside tribe for medical treatment.
This is a major event related to a lifetime of happiness. Don't delay it because of shyness.
Qi Xia nodded repeatedly and did not dare to say a word.
Jian Mo didn't feel comfortable saying anything else, but just gave him a few more words to say goodbye.
Qi Xia felt amnesty and followed him out of the house. He said hello to Yun Long and Wu Jiong and ran away.
It is estimated that he went hunting today and will stay in the wild until at least evening before returning.
Jian Mo watched his back disappear, took off his mask and put it away. It felt boring to keep wearing a mask.
Yun Rong greeted them: "You're not in a hurry to go back, are you? Why don't you come to my house to drink tea?"
Yun Rong learned this from the riverside tribe about drinking tea.
Jian Mo shook his head: "I won't drink any more tea. I've been busy lately. It's still early and we can do some more work after we go back."
Yun Nong said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, you made a special trip." Jian
Mo shook his head . Mo: "It's nothing. If I didn't make this trip, I would feel uncomfortable thinking about it all the time."
While they were chatting, someone behind them shouted: "Doctor Jian Moââ"
This was an unfamiliar voice, Jian Mo was there After making a preliminary judgment in my mind, I turned my head to look.
Sure enough, they saw a strange orc running towards them.
The orc with slightly dark skin and an upright face ran up to them and greeted them in one breath: "Doctor Jian Mo, Chief Yunluan, Chief Wujiongââ"
Jian Mo nodded: "What's wrong?"
The orc said: "I am from the Zhengchi tribe. "Shaoyuan, I just came here to change things. I just heard that Dr. Jian Mo is here, and I want to ask you to check on my friend. My friend is pregnant, and she is still a month old."
Jian Mo said immediately: "Congratulations!"
Shao Yuan smiled honestly: "Didn't you say before that you should pay attention to the check-up even if you are pregnant? We just want to ask you to take a look."
It is not easy for the orcs and sub-orcs to have cubs. This is the first time for Jian Mo to meet a pregnant husband. He immediately asked Wu Jiong and Yun Long for their opinions with his eyes.
Wu Jiong nodded, and Yun Luan had no objection.
Yun You said gracefully: "In that case, then go to my house and sit and check, just in time to have something to eat."
This time Jian Mo did not refuse: "Thank you for your hard work."
Yun You: "Yes, we will also benefit. I'm so happy."
Shaoyuan turned into a beast and carefully carried his partner Ning Wo over.
Ning Wo had a cheerful personality and said to Jian Mo and the others: "Actually, it's nothing. Shaoyuan is too nervous."
Jian Mo said seriously: "It's better to be more nervous. Shaoyuan is a responsible partner."
Ning Wo looked at Shaoyuan and said, The two of them looked a little sweet.
Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong and Yun Liao to go out and check Ning Wo indoors.
Not long after Ning Wo was pregnant, just over a month old, Jian Mo listened with a stethoscope and could already hear the fetal heartbeat.
The orc's heart rate was relatively slow. Jian Mo counted in her mind, about forty times a minute, while the fetus's heart rate could reach about one hundred and eleven.
He didn't know much about sub-orcs or fetuses, but he just felt that there was no problem with either side.
From other aspects, Ningwo also looks healthy - his lips are rosy, his hair is smooth, and his nails are shiny.
After careful inspection, Jian Mo gave the advice to have a good rest and pay attention to a balanced diet.
Ning Wo and Shao Yuan agreed sweetly.
After checking Ning Wo and Shaoyuan, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went to pick up Jiujiu and flew back to the riverside tribe.
On the way, Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong: "When the orcs have babies, will they give birth in six or seven months?"
Wu Jiong: "It's almost the same. There are slight differences between the orcs of different races."
The natural moon here is smaller than that on the earth . The natural moon is much longer. Jian Mo calculated it in her mind and found that it was not much different from human pregnancy.
Jian Mo: "When the fetus is born, are the fetuses in human form or animal form?"
Wu Jiong: "The fetuses are in animal form. They have to be older before they can take the form. I haven't really understood it. I will ask Qing Kuo later. He is more Understood."
Jian Mo nodded: "Do people have difficulty in giving birth?"
Wu Jiong looked at him worriedly: "Sometimes, but not often."
Jian Mo shook his head: " Not at all. I was just wondering, if there is a case of difficult labor, do I need to make forceps in advance? After all, such complicated tools must be prepared in advance so that we won't be in a hurry
.
Jian Mo made a gesture: "It is probably a tool used to carefully pinch the fetus out of the birth canal when dystocia occurs. Compared with thick hands, forceps are more convenient and are less burdensome on the mother and fetus. " Small, it is especially useful during difficult labor."
Wu Jiong nodded and roughly understood what he meant: "It is indeed necessary."
Jian Mo: "I'll ask in the next two days to see if I can try it. "
Chapter 95 The Paper
Rider Chiu Jiu flew over the tribe. Jian Mo found Qing Kuo cutting meat in the open space of the tribe. He quickly turned to Wu Jiong and said: "Quick, let Chi Jiu fall down. I want to ask Qing Kuo. Ask about the situation."
Before Jian Mo finished speaking, Chiujiu said "chirp-" very cleverly, and flapped his wings to swoop down.
"Good Chiu Jiu!" Jian Mo patted Jiu Jiu on the back, "As expected of us, Jiu Jiu, we are getting smarter and smarter."
Jiu Jiu proudly puffed up his chest: "Chiu Jiu!"
The sound of Jiu Jiu landing was so loud that he almost fell down. Dun, fortunately Wu Jiong jumped to the ground in time and picked up Jiujiu to help it maintain balance.
Everyone looked over.
Ye Luo asked: "Why did you come back so quickly today?"
Jian Mo slipped off Jiujiu and ran to the open space: "Everything goes well, we are back. Is this meat going to be dried after being cut?"
Qing Kuo replied: "Yes, I marinated it overnight yesterday. Cut it thinner and dry it easier."
Now that the sun is strong and the temperature is high, meat is harder to preserve than in autumn and winter, so we must hurry up and process it.
Jian Mo looked at the meat in the barrels on Qing Kuo's left and understood why he didn't go to collect it, but stayed in the tribe to process the meat.
Qing Kuo glanced at Jian Mo who was squatting next to him: "Is something wrong?"
Jian Mo smiled: "How do you know?"
Qing Kuo: "We are all so familiar. As soon as you lift your butt, we will know what you ate last night. ."
Ye Luo and the others laughed.
Jian Mo sighed: "I can't even keep up with your language style."
After saying that, Jian Mo sat aside, took out the dagger from his waist, wiped it, and helped cut the meat together.
Wu Jiong took Jiu Jiu home to settle down. Everyone present was a sub-orc, and there was nothing he couldn't say.
Jian Mo said directly: "When we went to the Mengshui Tribe this morning, we met a sub-orc who was pregnant with a cub."
Qing Kuo asked with concern: "The sub-orc of the Mengshui Tribe? Is everything going well?"
Jian Mo waved his hand. : "The Zhengchi tribe is going well, but I have never been in contact with sub-orcs who are pregnant with cubs before, and I want to ask about the situation."
Qing Kuo nodded: "You can ask whatever you want."
Jian Mo: "Do sub-orcs have many dystocias? ? Will it cause the death of the orcs and the fetus?"
When it came to business, Qing Kuo and the others looked serious: "This is not a lot, the orcs rarely die, but once dystocia occurs, it will be difficult for the cubs to survive, and the orcs will not survive. The orcs have lost their cubs, and it is difficult to conceive them again. They may not be able to conceive a cub for the second time in their lives."
Jian Mo noticed the key point in their words: "When a dystocia occurs, it is usually the cub that does not survive. ?"
Qing Kuo nodded: "If the baby cannot be born, the orcs can only use their claws to pull out the cubs. The recovery ability of the orcs is generally good, so it is not a big problem to survive. "
In this case, forceps will be more effective. It's necessary.
Jian Mo has lived as a human for so long that he forgot that sub-orcs can also pop out their claws.
If one ignores the life and death of the fetus and directly inserts the sharp claws into the fetus' body and pulls it out, the mother's body can really be preserved.
It seems that the worlds on the two sides are quite different, and the experience on earth cannot be simply applied.
Jian Mo warned herself secretly and said, "We have a tool that can be used to assist people with difficult labor to give birth. I wonder if it is suitable here?"
The forceps mainly use metal bars to make blade-shaped clamps to clamp out the fetus.
He has never used human forceps, but has used a lot of animal forceps. He still has some experience in the use of forceps. If a difficult labor occurs, forceps may be of great help.
With that said, Jian Mo explained what the forceps looked like and how to use it.
After listening to this, Qing Kuo said: "This tool of yours seems to be good. Do you want the tribe to help you make one?"
Jian Mo nodded: "That's what I thought, prepare one to try. But everyone's focus recently is on hunting and gathering. "I don't know how to open the furnace, so I want to ask your opinions first. If you all think forceps is okay, I will mention it to the tribe."
Qing Kuo said without hesitation, "This is a tool that concerns cubs. It doesn't matter if you open a furnace specially. Didn't you say it would be done with metal bars? "
Jian Mo: "Then we have to discuss it with the tribe. I will use wooden boards to make the forceps. But I have to ask first how big the cub is when it is born and what shape it looks like so that I can draw the design."
Qing Kuo: "We remember that each clan is different. My Ban Ming and Ban Jiu were probably a little bigger than two fists when they were born. When they were born, they were in the shape of animals, curled up."
Qing Kuo clenched his two fists and showed Jian Mo that one fist was the head of the fetus. , one is the body - the cub is almost like this when it is first born, with its head as big as its body.
He is tall and has big fists, as big as two fists, which is actually not small.
Jian Mo quickly said: "Wait a minute, I will take a note on the board."
Qing Kuo: "The fetuses of our civet clan are relatively small, while the giant wolf clan, giant bear clan, and giant armored beast clan are all relatively large. The birth will be more difficult. Just wait until I finish cutting the meat and go over to draw it for you."
Ye Luo said, "It also depends on the fatness of the fetus. It will be very difficult for a fat cub like Zhoudao to be born. At that time, Chen Yi's partner Min Kuo almost asked the orcs in the tribe to drag the cub out. Fortunately, the elders in the tribe stopped him. "
Jian Mo thought about the stocky figure of the little white wolf Zhoudao. It will indeed be a difficult life.
Jian Mo has not had much contact with the size of the fetus, so it is difficult to imagine and judge.
As for dystocia caused by various fetal malpositions, Jian Mo is much more familiar with this. Forceps are often used at this time to correct the fetal position or directly clamp the fetus out.
He has experience with this.
After careful communication, Jian Mo drew the appearance of the forceps on the wooden board and formally asked the tribe to help make it. She mainly told Dejiang and the others to ask them to take action.
Dejiang and his several skilled workers had made various metal appliances in winter, so forceps delivery was not difficult for them.
It just so happens that the tribe has charcoal left over from winter, and all the materials are complete. You can just open the furnace to make it.
Wu Jiong also went over to help with the production.
In order to deal with various situations, the tribe made Jian Mo several types of forceps with different sizes and clamping leaf lengths. They also helped him rework the forceps, scalpels and other things, adjust their shapes, and help him sharpen them. Sharper.
Jian Mo was so happy after receiving a large box of metal tools that he personally sent half a basket of metal to Dejiang and the others, and thanked them sincerely.
He was happy, and so were the few orcs in the tribe who helped make tools.
In addition to the tribal commission, these metals will be distributed to everyone involved in making tools. After working for a few days, everyone is very happy to have so much metal.
Collect metal and make one or two metal tools, which will make it much easier when you go hunting or gathering.
Jian Mo got the forceps, and specifically asked Qing Kuo and the others to spread the word, saying that they wanted to contact the sub-orcs who were pregnant with their babies. If they felt uncomfortable or needed help, they could go to him or call him. He would not accept supplies.
Qing Kuo quickly arranged for people to spread the news to each tribe: "If we rush to other tribes to see it, it would be a pity not to accept supplies."
Jian Mo: "It doesn't matter, let's accumulate experience first. Besides, there are tweets now, so we need to It's quite convenient to go to other tribes."
Qing Kuo smiled and said, "Okay, let me get
down to business first." Jian Mo became serious and signaled to him.
Qing Kuo: "The tribe held a meeting these two days and decided not to interfere with your actions. If you don't want to collect, you don't have to go out to collect. If you want to collect, you can go out with us. Anyway, it's up to you. The tribe doesn't make any requirements. "
Jian Mo: "That means I can move freely in the future, and I don't have to spend half of my time collecting together like other people?"
Qing Kuo: "Yes, just like in winter, you can just pretend that the tribe doesn't have collective actions. Yes, but you still get a share of the supplies." Jian Mo was stunned: "How can that be done? If I don't participate in the collective action, I can't get the supplies for nothing." Qing Kuo waved his hand and said, "It's not like you haven't contributed to the tribe, so how can you
do it?
Is it free? When you treat people from other tribes, won't a share of the supplies you receive be handed over to the tribe?"
Jian Mo thought for a while, but still refused: "Forget it, we are not short of supplies. I won't accept it anymore. I'm afraid that it's fine for a short period of time, but over time, some people will feel that it's unfair, and it will easily ruin the atmosphere of the tribe."
Jian Mo's words made sense, and Qing Kuo was quickly convinced: " I'll discuss it with everyone."
Jian Mo grabbed Qing Kuo and said with some excitement: "Let's not talk about it for now. I want to borrow the pit where the animal skins are soaked in the tribe. Can it be done?"
The tribe dug it in the back mountain. The big pits are used for tanning animal skins. Jian Mo went to see them at noon. There are still several pits empty and they should be borrowed.
Qing Kuo nodded: "Of course, but what do you want to use it for?"
Jian Mo: "Do you remember the paper I told you before? It's too inconvenient to use wooden boards. I want to peel off some bark and make a paper Get the paper out for use."
Qing Kuo remembered: "Okay, do you need us to help you peel off the bark?"
Jian Mo: "No, we won't do too much, just a little bit of bark. It's ready."
Qing Kuo: "Then you can use it. Call us if you need help."
After getting permission, Jian Mo took Wu Jiong outside and peeled two large baskets of relatively fine bark. return.
The bark of these trees is soft and elastic, somewhat like animal hide.
The bark was peeled back and while it was still fresh, Jian Mo took Wu Jiong and chopped it finely with a knife, and then transported it to the stone pound for pounding.
After working for half an afternoon, they got four large baskets of catkins.
Wu Jiong: "Then just soak it?"
Jian Mo looked at the minced bark and took a handful of it: "It should be ready. Mainly soaking away the rotten substances and leaving the flocculation? I I'm not sure, but I heard it's quite simple."
Jian Mo said very optimistically: "If it doesn't work, we'll do it next time. It's not troublesome to do anyway. It can be done after a few more experiments."
Wu Jiong agreed: "It makes sense."
Jian Mo: "Let's go, let's go to the animal skin pit on our backs."
In the tribe, running water was specially diverted to the animal skin pit, and rattan "doors" were placed on both sides to block it. , the water can pass through, but the things in the pit will not be washed away, which is very scientific.
Jian Mo estimated that soaking the bark for ten or eight days would be enough, but if that didn't work, soaking it for half a month and a month would remove the rotten parts inside.
When the time comes, take a copy of the net and you should be able to make paper.
They don't have a ready-made copy net on hand, so they have to make another copy of the net.
This is also simple, just use wooden strips as the frame, animal hair strings as the warp and weft lines, and weave it more tightly.
This job was quite cumbersome, so Jian Mo used his free time to weave. It took several days before he and Wu Jiong weaved a fine net.
The net is not big, it is a square about one meter long and wide, which should be enough for catching paper.
Maybe they chose the bark well, or maybe the big pit for soaking the hides diverted running water, making soaking the bark particularly easy.
Their netting was done, and the bark wadding in the big pit was soaked.
The soaked bark wadding looks like when Jian Mo was still on earth, he threw the clothes into the washing machine, but forgot to take out the paper towels, and the paper scraps were scattered by the washing machine.
Jian Mo almost didn't need to use the second method to judge. With just one look, he was sure that the bark wadding must be soaked.
This is the experience gained through blood and tears, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.
For the Riverside Tribe, paper was something very futuristic.
Everyone has neither heard of it nor knows how to use it.
When Jian Mo was copying papers with a copy net, everyone came over to watch.
The bark-soaking pit was busier than the Chinese New Year for a while, and Jian Mo was worried that everyone would be disappointed if he failed.
Jian Mo turned his head and glanced at the dense crowd of heads behind him, took a deep breath, composed himself and said, "I'm going to start copying."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Jian Mo signaled Ban Ming to use wooden sticks to stir up the bark wadding in the pit.
After the off-white bark wadding floated up, he took the net and dipped it into the water, then shook it back and forth twice to make the wadding more even on the net. The paper was considered ready.
Everyone can hardly imagine that something like paper can be made so easily, and there is no sense of watching the fun at all:
"Is this enough?"
"It seems that I can do it."
"I can do it too!"
Jian Mo: "It's already been done. It's not difficult."
Jian Moping held up the wooden frame and after it was drained, he tried to spread it on the prepared wooden board to dry.
After the paper is laid on the wooden board, it is flat and neatly attached, and it looks like it is of good quality.
Jian Mo took a step back and looked at it for a few times. He was quite satisfied.
Wu Jiong also copied a frame of paper and carefully laid it on the wooden board. The laying was also successful.
Jian Mo and him looked at each other, both of them smiling.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong tried several times and succeeded.
This is not difficult at all. It is probably the technical content of a primary school handicraft class.
Qing Kuo watched for a while and said eagerly: "Here, let me try too!"
Jian Mo handed him the frame: "Just smooth out the pulp inside."
Qing Kuo nodded seriously: "I Let's take a look."
Qing Kuo quickly copied a frame of paper and pasted it flatly on the wooden board prepared in advance.
With Qingkuo's successful experience, everyone expressed their intention to play, so you framed the paper and I framed it, and soon the paper was all finished.
When it got dark, everyone still had more to say.
Jian Mo lifted up the rattan doors on both sides of the big pool and let the water flow in and wash away the wood wadding at the bottom of the pit: "I've played here for today, let's do it next time."
Ban Ming still had more to say: "When is the next time? I'll help you peel the bark."
Jian Mo raised his chin and gestured to the paper on the board: "At least wait until these papers are exposed and see how it goes."
If the paper production this time is not ideal, they will have to adjust the formula. .
Ban Ming: "Then call us when the time comes."
Jian Mo led a large group of people down the mountain and said they would see it in the morning.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, before he got up, Ban Ming and others came to report: "Brother Jian Mo, your paper seems to be ready. It's like dried petals, big and flat. Just peel it off and it will be ready." Take it off."
Jian Mo stood up with messy hair: "Have you already seen it?"
Ban Ming: "Yes!"
Jian Mo: "Then let's go and see it, please wait for me."
Jian Mo was just about to brush his teeth and wash his face when Wu Jiong handed over a jar of warm water and a dental cleaning stick from the side.
It was so thoughtful. Jian Mo smiled at Wu Jiong and went to brush his teeth with charcoal powder under the eaves.
After brushing their teeth, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong read the paper surrounded by people.
The paper that was laid out last night has indeed dried out, because they laid it very evenly on the board, and the quality of the paper seems to be good.
Jian Mo took off a piece of paper and looked at it carefully. The paper was generally smooth and soft to the touch, not much different from paper on Earth.
Although there are relatively large wood flakes deposited in the paper, forming fine bumps, there are not many raised bumps, and overall it is commendable.
He gently bent it again. The paper was relatively soft, not as smooth and stiff as the industrial paper on earth, but it was definitely enough for writing.
Jian Mo looked at the paper and felt very emotional.
They made the paper that represents civilization so easily.
Wu Jiong took the paper and looked at it: "How is it? Is it passed?"
Jian Mo nodded: "It's passed. There is no need to adjust the formula for the time being."
After saying that, Jian Mo touched Wu Jiong's shoulder with his shoulder: "Really Okay."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The others didn't notice their subtle exchange, their eyes were all attracted by the paper.
"It's so white and so soft. Isn't it really cloth?"
"It's okay to say it's cloth. It's quite soft and breathable around the waist."
"It's quite soft and breathable. If you're not careful, your lower body will be exposed. "
Hahahaha -"
Qing Kuo asked Jian Mo: "How to use this paper?"
Jian Mo: "It can be bound into a book and used to remember something."
As he said this, Jian Mo folded the paper. He folded it and showed it to them: "Just sew one end with thread."
Qing Kuo touched it: "I can think of this, I can help you sew it."
The size of the hand-made paper is not too big. Unified, Jian Mo said: "Maybe we need to cut off all the edges and cut off the extra parts."
After everyone heard what Jian Mo said, they didn't even bother to make breakfast, and immediately gathered around him to go back and tell him what he said. The book is made.
Making a notebook is much simpler than making paper.
Jian Mo took them home and asked Wu Jiong to use a hatchet to smooth the four sides of the paper. Then he took out the needle and thread and showed everyone what binding was on the spot.
The thicker the paper, the harder it was to penetrate. Jian Mo's needlework was mediocre, and the binding lines were not smooth.
Qing Kuo and the others figured it out after a few glances, and took the initiative to take the book from his hand to help bind it.
Jian Mo was not polite to everyone. Soon, with the efforts of Qing Kuo and Ye Luo, the first beige thread-bound book of the Riverside Tribe was born.
Everyone passed the book around and looked at it carefully, and they all found it incredible.
"From tree bark to paper, and then to notebooks, I don't know how the people of your tribe came up with it."
"It's so beautiful. I still think it would look good when used as clothes."
"Brother Jian Mo , I want to exchange some paper with you, will you make a second batch?"
Seeing that everyone liked it, Jian Mo suggested: "If everyone likes it, why not make a batch together in the tribe, and then we can divide it. One point? Anyway, making paper is not complicated. Let's work together and spend some free time to make it. "
This is a good idea. Everyone looked at Wu Jiong.
Wu Jiong nodded: "Everyone wants it, so let's do it."
Everyone cheered.
Qing Kuo said from the side: "Paper is also a new technology brought by Jian Mo. I propose that the method of making paper should be kept secret for now. At the same time, some materials from the tribe will be given to Jian Mo as a reward."
This was unanimously agreed by everyone. : "Okay!"
Qing Kuo asked Jian Mo with a smile: "What do you want?"
Jian Mo thought for a moment: "After you make too much paper, just give me more here."
He suffered from the days of using leaves as toilet paper . That's enough. This paper is so soft, it should be easier to use.
Qing Kuo: "Okay, I'll give you some more paper then. In addition, can the tribe help you make a batch of clothes? I think you spend a lot of money on clothes."
Everyone laughed again.
Jian Mo rubbed her nose and explained: "We don't waste much money on clothes. We just change clothes frequently, and we are not good at making clothes."
Qing Kuo nodded: "You still need those clothes. You wait for two days, the tribe will go first I'll make a batch of clothes for you."
Jian Mo: "I'll draw the clothes myself."
It's convenient to have paper.
Compared with various robes, he prefers the types of clothes on Earth. Short-sleeved shorts are easier to wear without revealing anything, and long pants and long sleeves are more comfortable when going in the forest to avoid being scratched on the arms by branches.
There are also all kinds of gloves, socks and the like - it's time to add a batch this year.
The more Jian Mo thought about it, the more thoughtful Qing Kuo's suggestion became.
As expected of Qingkuo, who is as attentive as his hair. If everyone helps to make clothes, they will be freed from the heavy housework.
It would be a great benefit to give the tribe the recipe for the paper.
Chapter 96 Sutures
In the evening, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were grinding charcoal in the yard.
With the paper, Jian Mo wanted to seriously make a few pens.
He had whittled charcoal to make pens before, but the charcoal was too light in color and not smooth enough to be used on wooden boards. Writing on paper directly scratched several of his papers, so he had to make new pens.
It is not difficult to make a pen, and what he is currently pursuing are smooth color development.
You can use charcoal or pot ash for color development.
He had heard it said before that ink was made from smoked ashes.
The pens you use at home don't have to be so troublesome. Grind the charcoal, sift out the fine charcoal powder, sift it twice more, mix it with animal oil, and add a little clay to shape it. The color of the pen you make will be dark enough.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong experimented for several days, mixed several suitable ratios of materials, and made several pens.
After the pen was finished, Jian Mo put it on the stove to dry slowly. After drying, he wrapped it with a layer of bark.
After such a process, Jian Mo got a pencil-like pen. After it was sharpened, it was no different from a pencil.
Even if the color is slightly lighter, it can be regarded as a pencil with a relatively high hardness. If you sharpen it carefully, you can make it as thin as you want. The feel is almost the same as a modern pen.
Jian Mo took a pen and wrote several rows of words on the notebook. The beautiful handwriting was like a pattern on the ground.
Wu Jiong touched the notebook carefully: "Your calligraphy is so beautiful."
Jian Mo: "That's writing that has developed for thousands of years. I'll show you what it looks like."
As he said that, Jian Mo changed his mind. He changed the font and wrote a line of calligraphy: "Is it different again?"
Wu Jiong nodded.
Jian Mo wrote another line of cursive script: "There is another one like this!"
Wu Jiong looked carefully: "Are the words on the last two lines the same?"
Jian Mo: "Yes, the content is the same. The top one is in regular script, and the bottom one is in regular script It's running script, this kind of particularly sloppy kind is called cursive script, and it says 'We are destined to meet each other from thousands of miles away'. There is also a kind of handwriting specially used in our industry. I have almost forgotten it, so I can't use it to write calligraphy.
" Some of the words look particularly sloppy and cannot be understood by laymen. They are actually special abbreviations, just like passwords. People who have not learned it cannot understand them.
He had taken relevant courses in college, but after so many years, he had almost forgotten about them.
Putting aside calligraphy in the medical industry, regular script, running script and cursive script have already made Wu Jiong's eyes shine.
He softly praised Jian Mo several times as "amazing" and reached out to touch the book again and again.
Jian Mo leaned over and kissed him. She couldn't help but open a screen in front of him and slowly told him the love poems she still remembered.
Thanks to so many years of quality education, Jian can recite quite a few love poems.
It was rare for the two of them to talk about literature. The Orc Continent also had epic poems and love songs passed down orally.
Wu Jiong remembered some of them, and Jian Mo wrote them all down in his notebook.
After writing and reading, Jian Mo remembered it very quickly.
This unique exchange between the two made them feel like they were in love - the kind of love where no one else could get a word in.
In the past few days, the two of them had deliberately acted alone and even spoken to the tribe.
The tribe didn't have any objections either.
Jian Mo acted alone and did not need to hand over materials to the tribe, but Wu Jiong would still do it. When they acted alone, their harvest was often higher than the average harvest from collective action.
Being in love didn't get in the way of their work.
After breakfast that day, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went to collect in the forest to the southeast of the tribe.
The weather is getting warmer, and there are more berries in the forest. This is Jian Mo's favorite type to collect.
All kinds of sweet and sour berries are really delicious. They have a strong fruity flavor. Some of them are more delicious than the fruits grown on the earth. You can eat them all and dry them or bake them into fruit slices. They are delicious.
While the two were chatting, Wu Jiong suddenly listened carefully.
Jian Mo said "Huh": "It seems like someone is calling us?"
Wu Jiong: "It's from the sky, over there."
Jian Mo looked in the direction Wu Jiong pointed and saw Ban Ming flying on a Jiujiu come over.
"Brother Jian Moââ" Ban Ming hugged Jiu Jiu's neck and shouted, "Something big happened! The leader of the Qinhai tribe, Shu Guang, was seriously injured and was about to dieââ"
Jian Mo took two seconds to react before he heard what he said. What was he talking about: "Shu Guang?!"
Ban Ming: "Yes! It's that Xiong Clan Leader! The people from their tribe are still in our tribe. I heard it and came over to find you on Jiujiujiu."
Jiujiu flapped his wings. : "å¾å¾ââ"
means that it brought it here and found it.
Jian Mo immediately put down the things in his hands and said, "Let's go back and take a look."
Wu Jiong pulled the animal skin skirt on his body and threw it into the basket: "Let's go." Wu Jiong
transformed into a giant wolf, and Jian Mo put the basket on his back. He quickly climbed onto his back and hugged his neck: "Okay!"
The giant wolf immediately started running, taking seven or eight meters in one step, and disappeared in the blink of an eye like lightning in the wilderness.
Seeing that they were already running towards the tribe, Ban Ming quickly clapped his hands and said to Jiu Jiu: "Chiu Jiu, hurry up, turn back, we will also go back to the tribe."
Jiu Jiu: "Chiu Jiu!"
Jiu Jiu flapped its wings and flew after the giant wolf . .
Even in a straight line distance, Jiujiu is a bit slower than the giant wolf.
The patrolling orcs saw them coming back from afar and moved out of the way so that the giant wolf could run in.
The giant wolf ran directly into the riverside tribe. Ban Ming shouted behind them: "The people from the Qinhai tribe are in the open space."
The giant wolf turned around and ran towards the tribal open space.
Jian Mo sat on his back. Before he reached the clearing, he had already seen several giant bears lying scattered on the clearing.
The giant bear was obviously very tired. He was lying on the ground panting and had not yet recovered.
The giant wolf ran to the giant bears, and the giant bears used their huge bear paws to support the ground and turned over with difficulty: "Chief Wujiong, Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo slid off the giant wolf and hurriedly found He handed the animal skin skirt to the giant wolf, turned around and asked: "What's going on? Why is your clan leader seriously injured?"
The giant bears said:
"In the past two days, a group of cross-horned beasts have migrated to our tribe, and the tribe has discussed going to fight the cross-horned beasts.
"I don't know why, but the horned beasts are particularly ferocious and aggressive this year." "
A few of our inexperienced orcs were surrounded by the horned beasts. The clan leader went to save them, but they were beaten by the horned beasts." He was seriously injured."
After hearing this, Jian Mo immediately asked, "What's wrong with the stomach? Or is there a big hole in the stomach? Are the internal organs injured? Did they fall out of the stomach?"
Giant bears, you look at me, I look at you, and added again:
"There is a big hole in the stomach, and there is a lot of blood."
"The intestines fell out, and we stuffed them back in."
"I don't know anything else . How are the internal organs? The patriarch was still alive when we came, but he was no longer in good condition."
As he spoke, the giant bears' tears fell and wet their fur.
The Qinhai tribe was too far away from the Riverside tribe. It usually took three days to walk. They ran at full speed for most of the day.
This is when some people turned into beasts and ran with their clansmen on their backs. When he could run no longer, the tribesman on his back came down, transformed into his animal form, picked up the exhausted tribesman, and continued running.
After taking turns carrying people and running, they got here in most of a day.
Jian Mo looked solemn: "I'll rush to your tribe first to have a look."
I wonder how Shu Guang is doing now? If he had been at the scene, he would have been more likely to be rescued - after all, Shu Guang did not die immediately.
Now that we are so far away, everything is hard to say. It is not certain whether Shu Guang is still alive now.
But no matter what, they had to go and have a look. When they went to the Qinhai tribe to collect big-leaf garlic and noodle grass last year, Shu Guang was very kind to them. Personally speaking, Jian Mo also wanted to save him.
When the giant bears heard that Jian Mo was willing to go, they all nodded and shed tears again.
These giant bears were crying quite miserably, so Jian Mo couldn't help but said: "Let's ride on Tweet Tweet. You don't have to worry behind. Try to take care of yourself and don't run away like this again."
After saying that, Jian Mo didn't say much to them . I hurriedly followed Wu Jiong home to find various surgical instruments and medicines.
Jian Mo packed up two large medical boxes and prepared to set off.
Wu Jiong told the people in the tribe that he planned to go with Jian Mo.
After Qingkuo and Dejiang got the news and rushed back, they both solemnly expressed that they would take good care of the tribe and let them go with peace of mind.
Everyone is relatively simple, and when they heard that Shu Guang was seriously injured, they felt very sympathetic.
Qingkuo and Dejiang will think more about it. The relationship between the Qinhai tribe and the Hepan tribe has always been good, and Shu Guang is easy to talk to. If possible, everyone still hopes that Shu Guang can continue to be the chief of the tribe instead of replacing a new chief.
While Jian Mo was packing up, the tribesmen had already fed Jiujiu a lot of dried meat and water, and readjusted its reins.
After Jian Mo and Wu Jiong come out, they can set off directly on Jiujiu.
Jian Mo looked at Ban Ming and the others, who never let up on important matters, and waved: "Thank you for your hard work, we will set off immediately."
Ban Ming waved eagerly: "Brother Jian Mo, clan leader, please pay attention to your safety."
Wu Jiong nodded, hugged Jian Mo, pulled the reins of Chiu Jiu, and patted Jiu Jiu gently: "Chiu Jiu, let's go."
Chiu Jiu chirped, ran forward a few meters, and flapped its wings to fly.
Jian Mo also patted Jiujiu's neck: "Okay Jiujiu, it's up to you, hurry up."
After listening to Jian Mo's words, Jiujiu flapped his wings harder, and his speed was indeed much faster than usual.
Jiujiu has been to the Qinhai tribe several times and is very familiar with the road.
They flew in a straight line, eliminating a lot of detours along the way, and were much faster than the giant bears of the Qinhai tribe.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were originally worried that Jiujiu would not be able to fly to the Qinhai tribe, and planned to wait until it flew half the distance before Wu Jiong turned into a giant wolf and carried Jian Mo on his way.
Unexpectedly, Jiujiu persisted throughout the whole journey and flew to the Qinhai tribe just after noon.
People from the Qinhai tribe also knew them, and immediately ran over after seeing them: "Doctor Jian Mo! Chief Wujiong!"
Jian Mo felt distressed and pressed his cheek against the panting man, and asked the people who came over. : "How is your Patriarch Shu Guang doing?"
The orc running at the front said decisively: "He's still alive!"
Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go take a look first! Chirpâ"
Kuang Ning stood up from the crowd. : "Leave Jiujiu to me, I'll take it to rest."
Jian Mo nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Wu Jiong took Jian Mo's two huge medicine boxes and followed Jian Mo under the leadership of the Qin Hai tribe. He rushed down to the cave where Shu Guang was: "The clan leader was injured yesterday afternoon. After he came back, we gave him medicine and applied medicine. But it was of no use. The clan leader's intestines were broken."
Jian Mo couldn't believe it: "The intestines were broken . "
He thought it was just a hole in his abdomen. In the past, on Earth, he had picked up a stray cat with a broken stomach and its intestines falling out.
Relatively speaking, stray animals are relatively tough, and after treatment, the surgical results are generally good.
But that was with the help of modern medicine. Without modern medicine, it would be very difficult to save an animal with its internal organs falling out.
Not only did Shu Guang's intestines break, the people from the Qinhai tribe also gave him medicine, so there must have been an infection in his abdominal cavity.
That situation is really hard to say.
Jian Mo's heart sank to the bottom, and his expression became very solemn.
He wondered if he would see Shu Guang's body if he entered the cave now?
Fortunately, standing outside the cave, he still heard Shu Guang's heavy breathing.
The people from the Qinhai tribe wanted to take him into the cave, but Jian Mo reached out to stop him: "Don't go in yet, so as not to cause more serious infection. Wu Jiong and I will go take a look."
Jian Mo took Wu Jiong mainly for his own sake. He also didn't know if Shu Guang still recognized people and whether he would attack if his life was threatened. He had to protect himself.
The people of the Qinhai tribe were very straightforward: "Thank you for your hard work."
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong hurriedly got into the cave with the medicine box.
The giant bear that looked like a hill was lying on its back on the animal skin mattress in the center of the cave, breathing heavily. There was a strange smell of blood and internal organs in the cave.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong put on their masks and walked over.
Even though he was injured to this extent, Shu Guang still didn't lose consciousness. When he heard the footsteps, he turned his head with difficulty to open his terrifying beast eyes and glanced: "Doctor Jian Mo..."
As soon as he spoke, blood started to flow out again. .
Jian Mo stopped him seriously: "Don't talk yet, let's help you take a look."
The giant bear stopped talking.
Jian Mo walked over and saw that the giant bear had a big hole in its belly and was covered in blood and flesh. However, he was seriously injured yesterday, and today the blood hole seemed to grow faintly. Jian Mo saw the new tissue.
The orcs' healing abilities are terrifying.
Jian Mo put on gloves and carefully checked the condition of the giant bear's abdominal cavity.
Sure enough, two intestines were broken, which were small intestines. There was no possibility that the intestines would grow back on their own, and the giant bear's abdominal cavity was also seriously contaminated.
In this situation, even Jian Mo's scalp was numb.
No matter what, the wound still needs to be treated. As for whether he can survive or not, it is up to fate.
Jian Mo took Wu Jiong out and communicated with the people of the Qinhai tribe: "Clan Chief Shu Guang's condition is very bad. He must undergo surgery immediately. However, I cannot guarantee that he will survive after the surgery."
Her eyes were red. The rugged orc said: "We do it, and it's not your fault if we don't survive."
Jian Mo nodded: "Okay. I didn't know that Patriarch Shu Guang's intestines were broken before I came here. Now he has to sew up his intestines. Ordinary thread won't work. I have to use the intestines of other animals as thread. Do you have any here? A larger animal?"
Orc: "Is it okay to carry a beast of burden?"
Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay. Kill the beast of burden immediately, remove the intestines, clean them, and give them to me. Make a few fires. If there is a new pot that has not been used, just use the new pot and boil a little more water. I will use it."
The orc went immediately.
Jian Mo was preparing for the surgery.
Jian Mo has used protein sutures before, but they were all processed by major pharmaceutical companies. He has never used this kind of sutures. He only read in textbooks that some people used catgut in history.
Catgut was used mainly because Shu Guang's intestines were severed. If he could survive it, it would be impossible to open his stomach and remove the stitches after he recovered from the injury.
Protein sutures such as gut will be degraded directly into small molecule peptides and amino acids in his body, which will be absorbed by him, eliminating the need to remove the sutures.
But all this is based on the premise that he can survive. If he can't survive, then it goes without saying that it doesn't matter what thread is used.
The people of the Qinhai tribe acted quickly to save the life of their clan leader.
The intestines they sent were not only complete intestines, but also intestines cut into strings of different thicknesses, all very long.
Jian Mo glanced approvingly at the orc who gave him the intestines, and immediately put the intestines into boiling salt water and boiled them.
This step is for disinfection and prevention of infection. As for the effect, Jian Mo can only rely on God's will.
Jian Mo took out the catgut, put on new clothes and gloves that had been cleaned and disinfected, and went with Wu Jiong into the cave filled with oil lamps for surgery.
If you ignore the huge body of the giant bear, Jian Mo feels that it is not much different from operating on stray cats and dogs before.
He concentrated on the operation, while Wu Jiong stood by to protect his safety.
Shu Guang was in such a state that no more anesthetic could be given to him, but the boiled and cooled moss salt water used to flush the abdominal cavity was somewhat useful.
If it was really useless, there was nothing Jian Mo could do.
I don't know whether it was because the situation was particularly difficult or something else, but Jian Mo entered a flow state today - a state of complete devotion and complete forgetfulness.
In this state, he performed the operation smoothly.
After who knows how long, Jian Mo finally completed all the operations. The abdominal cavity was washed, the intestines were sewn up, and all the cracks were carefully sutured layer by layer.
Jian Mo looked at the cold and gray bear with only a slight heaving body. He didn't know what to say. He just said: "Get out first."
His voice came muffled from under the mask. When he turned around, his body He stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Wu Jiong's strong arms wrapped around his waist and helped him up in time.
The two of them walked out of the cave. People from the Qinhai tribe were waiting outside, looking at them expectantly.
Jian Mo said: "The operation is over. Whether Clan Chief Shu Guang can survive will depend on these two days. Let's go back first and leave a person in charge to talk to me. I'll say something." The
man who had previously received Jian Mo and Wu Jiong The rugged man stayed behind: "Doctor Jian Mo, tell me."
Jian Mo stood tiredly and relied on Wu Jiong's strength: "That's right, the beast shape of Chief Shu Guang is too big, and the threads he needs to use need to be bigger." The ordinary thread is thick, and I don't know if the thread used in the surgery just now will break."
He just used catgut and discovered that the strength of the catgut was a bit insufficient.
If this gut was used on ordinary people or small and medium-sized animals, it would definitely be enough. Shu Guang's animal shape is too big, and the wound tension is also high, so the gut may not be strong enough.
There should be no problem with the sutures on the intestines. The problem lies in the deep tissue. They are sutured layer by layer. It is difficult to remove the sutures in the deep tissue. Catgut is also used, while ordinary threads are used on the surface.
Jian Mo was only worried that there would be problems with the deep organization.
The rugged man's face was worried: "What are we going to do?"
Jian Mo said, "I remember when I was looking for noodle grass, I saw a gray creature with a long, round tail?"
The rugged man said: "Long-tailed beasts, yes! There are a lot of long-tailed beasts over there in Miancao."
Jian Mo: "I need you to find those long-tailed beasts, the bigger the better. After I find them, I want to cut off their tails. Pull out the tendons inside and make sutures. Prepare them in case there is one."
The rough man nodded: "I'll send someone to find it immediately."
Jian Mo: "Okay, let's work together. I'll take a look here. By Patriarch Shuguang. "
When Jian Mo was in school, the textbooks talked about pure natural collagen sutures, which used tendons from the tails of mice.
It is said that the tendons on the mouse tail are strong, long and have little inflammatory reaction, making it a very high-quality suture.
He just remembered it, but he didn't have time to send someone to find it.
It would take too much time to find this long-tailed beast from the wild and then process it and prepare for stitches.
Shu Guang's condition was relatively stable for the time being. Jian Mo ate something and asked about Jiu Jiu's condition. After confirming that Jiu Jiu was fine, he squinted in the cave.
Wu Jiong has been guarding him.
The people of the Qinhai tribe moved very quickly when they really took action.
They brought the long-tailed beast back in the evening.
The tail of this long-tailed beast is much longer than that of rats. If you cut it open, you can see that there are indeed thick and long tendons inside.
Jian Mo asked them to peel out the tendons and divide them into threads of different thicknesses, steam them all in a pot and set them aside - if you are not in a hurry, fumigation is better than boiling the tendons directly in water.
They didn't get much rest all night.
Shu Guang's condition is not bad and he has been living tenaciously.
Jian Mo got up every once in a while to check on his condition and found that he was slowly improving.
The surgery appears to be working.
Jian Mo was refreshed and no longer sleepy.
Maybe God was on their side, Shu Guang's condition was getting better and better, his shaved belly was dry and there was no leakage, his heartbeat became more and more normal, and his body temperature also came up.
If it weren't for the big gash in his stomach, Jian Mo would have thought he was uninjured and just sleeping.
It seems that God is on Shu Guang's side, the line on his stomach has not collapsed!
Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief. It was great not to need a second surgery.
The next morning, Shu Guang woke up for the first time. He opened his eyes and looked at Jian Mo and Wu Jiong, and then at the rough orc standing on the other side.
The giant bear grinned and greeted each other weakly: "Jian Mo, Wu Jiong, Shu Ming."
There was no problem with his cognition, his consciousness was very clear, and he could still take care of social etiquette -
Jian Mo judged it in his mind, and then He breathed a sigh of relief.
Shu Guang's condition is really good, it's rare to be so good.
It was only at this time that Jian Mo realized that the rough orc's name was Shu Ming.
Shu Ming's eye circles turned red again: "Brother."
Giant Bear: "It's okay, I can't die."
Jian Mo used the stethoscope to listen to Shu Guang's condition: "It's indeed getting better gradually."
The giant bear grinned again: "Really?"
Jian Mo gently took back the stethoscope: "Stop talking and have a good rest."
The giant bear didn't say anything either . Li Qi: "Thank you."
After saying that, the giant bear muttered a few times, fell asleep again, and fell directly into a semi-conscious state.
Chapter 97
The giant bear transformed by Shu Guang, the kiln fish, slept in the cave all day and woke up at night.
Jian Mo was standing by. When he heard the noise, he hurried up and asked, "How are you now?"
The giant bear looked more awake, looking at the top of the cave with his eyes open, and murmured, "I thought I would be able to do it this time. " I'm going to see the Beast God."
Jian Mo said tiredly, "I won't be able to go for the time being."
The giant bear grinned and said, "Thank you very much this time."
Jian Mo said, "You're welcome. You already thanked me during the day." "Is there anything uncomfortable on your body?"
Juxiong: "Thirsty, I'm very, very thirsty now."
Generally speaking, after intestinal surgery, you can drink a small amount after six hours.
Jian Mo wasn't sure whether the giant bear was like this, and wasn't sure about the effect of the gut string. She didn't dare to give him more water, so she poured him a third of a bowl of water, intending to moisten him.
As soon as the giant bear saw the water, he immediately wanted to sit up and drink. Jian Mo quickly stopped him: "Don't move! Be careful that the wound line collapses. I'll feed you!"
The giant bear sighed: "It's like being disabled."
Jian Mo: "If you move around, you'll probably be crippled. I didn't find a suitable thread when I sewed your wound, so I used the intestines of a beast of burden. As you know, the intestines are not strong at all, and they can collapse at the slightest movement. "
Giant Bear: "I know."
Jian Mo brought a small spoon over and fed him water one spoon at a time.
The giant bear tasted it for a while and couldn't help it anymore: "This spoonful doesn't make me salivate. Doctor Jian Mo, why don't you just pour it into my mouth?"
Jian Mo: "You can't drink more water, so you should drink it slowly. " , it will be gone after drinking, so you won't be greedy."
The giant bear lay down and said, "Oh, I won't be so seriously injured next time."
This sighing giant bear is slightly different from the wise patriarch Shu Guang. , Jian Mo guessed that he was affected by the beast form.
Orcs are indeed more easily affected by the beast form.
For example, Wu Jiong has a relatively calm and restrained personality. When he transforms into a giant wolf, he likes to touch Jian Mo with his mouth. This is actually acting like a baby.
Jian Mo thought of this and looked back at Wu Jiong.
Wu Jiong asked with his eyes: What's wrong?
Jian Mo shook his head and turned to feed the giant bear some water.
The people from the Qinhai tribe wanted to take over, but he didn't give in. The bear that was finally rescued could not fail in the post-operative care.
After feeding the giant bear water, Jian Mo checked his condition again.
Maybe it's because of its strong vitality. The giant bear is recovering well. There is no redness, swelling or oozing from the wound. It seems to be in good condition.
His mental state is also good. Except that his personality may have become a bit bold due to the influence of the beast form, there are no other changes.
Jian Mo instructed: "Clan Chief Shuguang, you absolutely need to rest in bed in this situation. Don't move if you can. Don't change back to human form, and don't sit up. Try to endure it when you go to the toilet. If you can't bear it, just lie down." Come on."
The giant bear agreed.
Shu Ming, the orc beside him, said: "Doctor Jian Mo, don't worry, we will keep an eye on him."
Jian Mo: "Okay, please be careful, he has been rescued. If he dies because of these trivial things, then it will be a disaster." It 's so unfair, I might still be laughed at for hundreds of years after my death. "
This is definitely a threat. No clan leader can bear the thought of being stupid and causing the tribe to be laughed at.
The giant bear who was still trying to cocoon became honest when he heard this: "I really won't move."
Jian Mo encouraged him: "Be patient. I'm going to sleep first. If anything happens, call me in time."
Jian Mo had not slept for two days and one night. After giving instructions, he took Wu Jiong back to the temporary cave to sleep.
He had a good sleep, and when he went to see the giant bear again, the giant bear recovered better.
Jian Mo asked the people from the Qinhai tribe to cook some broth, put more minced meat in it, and give the giant bear half a bowl.
The people of the Qinhai tribe hurriedly prepared to go.
The giant bear seemed to be recovering well for the time being, and the wounds showed no signs of cracking, but Jian Mo was not sure if there would be any accidents.
Wujiong and the Riverside tribe are busy with matters, so they must go back first.
Jian Mo planned to stay in Qin Hai for a few more days, so that if anything happened, rescue operations could be carried out in time.
It was too time-consuming to come from the riverside tribe, and Shu Guang would never be able to afford the delay if something happened to him.
Wu Jiong agreed with Jian Mo's idea and agreed to pick him up in a few days.
In order to prevent accidents, Wu Jiong specially kept the tweets.
Jiujiu has no force value at all, but if something happens, it is still no problem to carry Jian Mo on his back and escape.
Before going back, Wu Jiong also solemnly asked Shu Ming, Kuang Ning and others to take care of Jian Mo.
When they came here to collect garlic and noodle plants last year, they became friends with Kuang Ning, and they are now pretty good friends.
Everyone solemnly agreed.
After Wu Jiong received a positive reply, he walked back three times.
Kuang Ning said to Jian Mo: "I really couldn't tell that Patriarch Wu Jiong had this style before."
Jian Mo smiled: "He just doesn't trust me and seems a little anxious."
Kuang Ning glanced at Jian Mo and said: " You guys have a really good relationship."
Jian Mo asked back, "You and Jin Ping don't have a good relationship?"
Kuang Ning laughed twice when he heard him mention his partner and didn't refute.
Jian Mo temporarily lived in the Qinhai tribe. The people in the Qinhai tribe were very polite to him. They gave him sumptuous meals and drinks every day and responded to his requests. As he asked, many people came to help.
He didn't have much to do. Apart from checking on Shu Guang's situation and making suggestions, he had nothing to do. He had a lot of free time every day.
On this day, Jian Mo saw that the weather was good and the temperature was high, so he found soap from his personal belongings and planned to take Jiu Jiu to take a bath.
They were so busy during this period that they didn't pay much attention to Jiu Jiu, who almost stunk.
Jian Mo saw it playing with the cubs from the Qinhai tribe every day, and felt it was too dirty.
The resistance of cubs is relatively weak, and it would be terrible if Zang Jiu Jiu makes other cubs sick.
Jiu Jiu is used to bathing and can swim. His big wings can paddle water and he swims well. He doesn't resist bathing.
When it heard that it was time to take a bath, it took the initiative to hold the bundle in its mouth, followed Jian Mo, and waddled forward like a duck.
Compared with the big dogs Jian Mo had washed before, Jiu Jiu was much better behaved.
When they reached the bathing section of the river, Jian Mo let him sit in the shallow water, wet his hair, and rubbed it hard with soap.
For areas that couldn't be rubbed, Jian Mo had to let him lie down and continue rubbing.
Jiujiu's body was covered with gray-yellow bubbles, and it rolled its eyes around. It looked very well-behaved and cute. Jian Mo couldn't help but rub a big bubble and put it on its head.
When Jian Mo was bathing Jiujiu, many people from the Qinhai tribe passed by the river. When they saw this, they all stopped and asked Jian Mo enthusiastically if he needed help.
Jian Mo declined them all.
After giving Jiujiu a bath and a rough wipe, Jian Mo let him lie down on the pebbles by the river to dry his fur.
It's too tiring to wring it out manually. The sun is strong now, so if you lay down in the sun, it will dry out quickly.
After basking in the back, you can also lie down and bask in the front. This kind of weather is not enough to cause heatstroke, which is perfect.
While Jiujiu was drying his fur, the cubs from the Qinhai tribe came over.
Among these cubs, there are little orcs and sub-orcs who can already transform into human form, and there are also little bears who cannot yet transform into human form.
The little bear saw Jiujiu lying by the river and ran over to cuddle with him.
Other humanoid cubs also ran over to watch.
After watching for a while, one of the cubs asked: "Kiu Jiu, do you want to come over and watch us fishing?"
Jiu Jiu caught the key word and opened his eyes: "Chiu Jiu?"
The cubs said:
"We are going to go fishing by the river."
"This The fish in the river are so fat and delicious.
"It has fish roe! The fish now has fish roe, it's very fragrant!"
Before Jiujiu could react, the cubs started to swallow their saliva.
Swallowing is a common pattern for almost all living creatures. Chiu Jiu understood it immediately and flapped his wings excitedly: "Chiu Jiu!"
The cubs were busy stroking Jiu Jiu's soft fur and butt: "Chiu Jiu, don't worry. , let's go now."
The cubs ran home with Jiujiu Hulala to get fishing rods and bait.
Similar to modern fishing rods, the fishing rods of the Qinhai tribe consisted of a short wooden pole with a fishing line and a fishhook underneath.
The fishhook is a "V" shaped fish bone, which can hook a large piece of fat meat.
After placing the bait, people can throw the hook into the water and start fishing.
After taking the fishing rod, the cubs took Jiujiu to a place similar to a dam upstream of the river. They sat on a stone and threw the fishing line and bait into the water.
The little cubs chattered:
"Jiujiu, just wait for a while and you'll catch a fish soon."
"I caught a big fish that was longer than my arm last year."
"My brother caught a fish that was longer than a cave .
"My dad doesn't have to fish, he just jumps in to catch it." When
it comes to food, Jiujiu always reacts very quickly and understands it very well.
It was so greedy by the cubs that it drooled. Unfortunately, the cubs were very enthusiastic and serious, but their skills were not very good. They kept chattering for a long time and still failed to catch any fish.
Jiujiu squatted in the back like a poor puppy, obedient and helpless.
The cubs would look back at it and touch its wings to comfort it:
"Jiujiu, just wait a little longer, we'll catch it really quickly."
"We'll give you the fattest fish belly later."
" "Jiujiu, you are so good."
Jian Mo came to visit twice. Jiujiu played well with the cubs, but the cubs drew cakes one after another, and the bucket was still empty. Jiujiu didn't even have a fishy smell. Can smell it.
Seeing Jian Mo coming over for the third time, Jiu Jiu turned around and looked at him pitifully: "Hey."
The cubs turned their heads, and whether they were humanoid cubs or little bears, they all said obediently: "Brother Jian Moââ"
So polite It's really rare to see little cubs. Jian Mo touched them one by one, focusing on the soft little bear: "Can you lend me your fishing rod?"
The cubs were very generous: "Brother Jian Mo, what do you want? Just take it."
Jian Mo smiled: "Thank you."
Jian Mo saw that the meat they used for fishing bait was cut into large pieces, which was easy for the fish to take in one bite.
Taking a fishing rod, Jian Mo picked a piece of bait, cut it into four pieces with the dagger he carried, hung one piece on the fishhook, cut the other pieces of meat, and threw it directly into the water to make a nest.
The cubs stopped fishing and came over to see Jian Mo fishing.
There might be a lot of fish here. Jian Mo just threw the fishhook down, and immediately some fish came to bite the hook.
He quickly lifted up the fishing rod with quick eyes and hands, and a big silver fish was caught under the fishing line. When he just moved the fishing rod to the shore, the fish struggled down and fell to the ground with a clatter.
There was a little bear who was very agile. He stepped on the fish with one paw, and then held the big fish firmly with his two front paws.
Only then did the cubs react in unison:
"Wow - Brother Jian Mo, you are so awesome."
"What a big fish!"
"So fat!"
The cubs surrounded Jian Mo and babbled, their emotions were full. .
Jian Mo asked them to carry the fish farther away.
A little cub looked at Jiujiu, then at Jian Mo, and asked: "Brother Jian Mo, can you feed Jiujiu? He's already greedy."
Jian Mo: "You can't feed it raw fish, so don't eat it either. Fish There may be parasites in it, and if you eat them, they may grow in your intestines."
Xiao Zai: "Is it true?"
Jian Mo: "Really, some parasites can grow as long as a cave."
Jian Mo vividly talked about the parasites he had seen and heard in his career.
The cubs were so frightened that they shrank: "Yeah--"
Jian Mo saw the cubs huddled together with the cubs. She wanted to laugh a little, but she forced herself to hold it back.
You may be lucky today, or it may be your first time fishing in the orc world, and there is a novice protection period.
Ever since Jian Mo caught the first fish, fish kept biting the hook, and he caught several big fish within a short time.
An adult from the Qinhai tribe passed by and took the initiative to stay and help with the fish, and caught some more fish by the way.
The fish in summer are indeed very fat and long.
Jian Mo flipped through the pages and said to a group of cubs nearby: "I'll teach you a fresh way to grill fish, do you want me?"
The cubs shouted, "Want to--"
Some of the cubs who were slower to react hurriedly followed. : "Wow -"
Jian Mo smiled and asked someone to go back to the temporary cave where he lived, bring over the seasoning powder he brought, and get a can of animal oil.
After bringing all the seasonings, Jian Mo used the seasonings to spread the processed big fish evenly, then spread a thin layer of animal oil on it, then wrapped it with huge non-toxic leaves, tied it up, and wrapped it outside again. A layer of river mud.
The cubs looked at the strange-looking mudbags with suspicion on their faces.
Jian Mo smiled mysteriously: "Don't look at it because it looks weird. You will know after it is roasted."
The cubs were doubtful. After hearing the news, the adults came over and saw that they were also very doubtful.
However, at Jian Mo's request, everyone still built a bonfire, placed each mud bag on the bonfire, put firewood on top, and continued to burn.
Jian Mo kept observing the color of the mud bag in the fire. When the mud bag burned until it turned white and the water was initially dried, he would have someone take it out and smash it open.
The mud bag that has lost its moisture will fall apart with a light smash, revealing the yellow-green leaves inside.
The delicious smell of grilled fish wafts out.
Jian Mo used a wooden stick to pull apart the leaves, revealing the tender fish meat inside.
Because it is wrapped and grilled, the juice inside is particularly abundant. The animal oil and seasoning powder also penetrate into the meat very well, and it smells particularly delicious.
The cubs all looked at the grilled fish: "Wow -"
Jian Mo opened the other mud bags: "I said I didn't lie to you, right?"
The cubs: "Yes!"
Jian Mo opened the mud bags one by one. Let the cubs divide it among themselves, and even gave Jiujiu a mud bag.
Jiujiu wanted to eat but was afraid of getting burned. She grabbed the fish with her two claws and put it down, then put it down and picked it up again. She was so anxious that she chirped, but she had no intention of giving up at all.
Jian Mo thought it was funny and didn't care about it.
The same goes for the cubs, especially the cubs who can't yet transform.
These little white bears are like huge glutinous rice cakes. They stretched out their paws to touch the freshly grilled fish, and their paws were so hot that they wheezed.
I was burned and anxious. I took a short break for two breaths and then tried to catch the grilled fish again. Then I was so hot that I blew my claws.
Some cubs were so hot that they jumped up, their plump bellies and buttocks swaying, looking more like elastic glutinous rice cakes.
The adults nearby were all laughing.
Jian Mo finished sharing the grilled fish with the cubs and started to share it with the adults: "This fish doesn't have many bones. Can the cubs eat it? Will it get stuck?"
Kuang Ning said, "Yes, they usually do. Eat it yourself. The cubs of our Qinhai tribe will never get stuck by thorns."
Another adult laughed: "They have already developed the ability to eat fish. Doctor Jian Mo, don't worry."
Jian Mo: "Then I will. Don't worry, let's try my grilled fish."
Kuang Ning held a piece of grilled fish on a leaf and said, "This fish is so special. Why should it be wrapped in mud?"
Jian Mo: "It's mainly to preserve the freshness of the fish. It seals the flavor and juice inside and prevents it from being burnt. We sometimes use kiln to bake it.
He hasn't eaten kiln chicken and kiln fish for a long time. It seems that his skill in grilling fish is not as good as before.
It's a pity that Wu Jiong is not here today. He can do it again when he returns to their riverside tribe.
Chapter 98 Returning home in glory
Jian Mo stayed in the Qinhai tribe for a few more days. Seeing that Shu Guang was recovering better and better and that nothing serious was wrong, he told them and prepared to return to the riverside tribe.
Everyone in the Qinhai tribe was used to Jian Mo being here. When they heard that he was going back, many people were reluctant to leave.
Shu Ming was particularly reluctant: "Doctor Jian Mo, please stay a little longer. Our place is cool. You should play here before you go back."
Jian Mo waved his hand: "That won't work. There is the most food to collect outside now. , I have to go back and collect it."
Shu Ming: "What do you want to collect? We will collect it and send it back to you. You don't need to do anything." Jian Mo
smiled: "It's not that I'm short of supplies, but I feel like I can't waste time."
Shu Ming had no choice but to say: "Wait for two more days. We will prepare supplies and hold a farewell dinner for you. You can go back the day after tomorrow, right? Chief Wujiong should come to pick you up by then. If not, we will send you back." "
Jian Mo: "Forget it about the farewell dinner, it's too troublesome."
Shu Ming waved his hands: "It's not troublesome. It's really not easy for our clan leader to save his life this time. Besides, we have to celebrate. Everyone admires and appreciates you, and just wants to celebrate with you and get close to you."
As he said that, Shu Ming sighed with some melancholy: "If you don't get close this time, it will be difficult to find opportunities when you return to the Riverside Tribe. ."
He said it all, so Jian Mo had no choice but to agree.
On the day of the farewell party, the people of the Qinhai tribe had been preparing since the morning.
Almost every tribe in the orc world is very interested in celebrating, but it can still be seen that the Qinhai tribe attaches great importance to this farewell party.
Jian Mo watched everyone bring out all kinds of fresh meat, bacon, fresh fruits, dried fruits, fruit wine, etc., and piled them in the open space, and she felt a little moved and proud in her heart.
This should be the Qinhai tribe's greatest praise for his medical skills.
But being able to save Shu Guang in this situation made Jian Mo feel proud.
After Jian Mo checked Shu Guang's body, he went to help at the farewell party.
The cubs in the tribe were running around, especially the chubby little bear, who was on all fours, following every adult to join in the fun.
Seeing Jian Mo coming, the cubs rushed over and surrounded him.
Jian Mo picked up the soft little bear and rubbed his head, then touched his round ears. After returning to the riverside tribe, there were no little bears to pet, but there were all kinds of little cats and dogs. Jian Mo thought Here, I feel a little happier.
In the evening, the people of the Qinhai tribe lit a bonfire.
The landscape on their side is more rugged, the people's character is more bold, and even the bonfires they light are bigger.
The fiery red flames danced in the night, as high as the trees, and the atmosphere immediately rose.
Everyone gathered around Jian Mo and wanted to roast him.
The Qinhai Tribe's barbecue contains a lot of garlic powder and salt, which is very distinctive and tastes good.
The two pieces Jian Mo ate at first felt good, until people from all walks of life stuffed a lot of meat on his plate and piled a lot of wine on his plate, which overwhelmed him.
He wanted to decline politely, but he couldn't refuse the warm and simple smiling faces.
After eating meat and drinking wine, many orcs from the Qinhai tribe transformed back into their beast forms.
These huge bears danced around the bonfire, their round bellies and buttocks swaying. Looking at the bonfire that was taller than the trees, Jian Mo finally understood why they ordered such a big bonfire.
As long as the bonfire is smaller, the scene of giant bears dancing around the bonfire will become very weird.
Of course, the current scene is nothing like normal.
As soon as Jian Mo raised his eyes, he had the absurd feeling that he had eaten too many poisonous mushrooms.
Jumping and jumping, Shu Guang also came out.
He had just had surgery, the hair on his belly was still bald, and he couldn't drink. He could only sit by the campfire, eat some meat, and watch everyone dance.
As he watched, he tried to sell the orcs in his tribe to Jian Mo, poaching them as fast as he could.
Jian Mo looked at Xiong Xiong, who was lying beside the bonfire after drinking too much, and shook his head with a smile.
The people from the Qinhai tribe guessed quite accurately. On the second day of the farewell party, Wu Jiong brought someone to pick up Jian Mo.
He didn't know where he heard that people from the Qinhai tribe were poaching, so he used his beast form to communicate with the orcs from the Qinhai tribe.
The giant bear is slightly larger than the giant wolf, but it is far less agile than the giant wolf, and it is not as good as the giant wolf in using force to fight.
In the end, the giant wolf beat all the giant bears of the Qinhai tribe. Even Shu Ming, who had turned into a giant bear, lay on the side panting and said to the giant wolf in a low voice: "I guess only my brother can beat you." "
The giant wolf touched Jian Mo's chest lightly with his mouth, smelled his scent, and said coldly: "Your brother can't beat me. I don't believe you can compete in this year's hunting conference."
Giant Bear: "My brother was seriously injured. He may not be able to regain his fighting strength in this year's hunting conference."
Giant Wolf: "Then next year."
Jian Mo opened his hand and hugged the giant wolf's mouth, and helped the giant wolf speak: "Ha Haha, it should be almost next year."
The giant bear happily agreed: "You let my brother compete."
Shu Guang, who was lying in the cave, didn't know that Shu Ming had already accepted next year's challenge for him, and he was letting the tribe. The people counted the supplies and prepared to send them to Jian Mo.
Jian Mo saved Shu Guang's life. Shu Guang asked his tribe to give Jian Mo a large amount of large-leaf garlic powder, animal skins and animal meat. In addition, there were two large bundles of long-tailed animal sinews - the kind that can be used Animal sinew to make sutures.
Jian Mo felt that this operation did not require so many supplies, and wanted to return some of it to Shu Guang.
Giant Bear Shu Guang was very insistent: "My life is much more valuable than these materials, and the future of our Qinhai tribe is also much more valuable than these materials. Doctor Jian Mo, please accept it. I'm really sorry for delaying you for so long."
Jian Mo Mo: "It's okay. It's okay to treat illnesses and save people."
Juxiong said: "I won't say much more. As long as I, Shu Guang, are here for one day, you will always be a friend of our Qinhai tribe and my Shu Guang's friend. From now on, If you encounter any difficulties, just ask."
After a pause, the giant bear looked at Wu Jiong's cool eyes and said: "If you want to come to live in our Qinhai tribe in the future, just say it and we can pick you up at any time. You."
Jian Mo grabbed Wu Jiong's wrist and said with a smile: "There won't be a day when I will grow old together with Wu Jiong."
Everyone understood and started cheering on the side.
Wu Jiong's eyes softened and he held Jian Mo's palm with his backhand.
After saying goodbye, Jian Mo rode on the back of the giant wolf, surrounded by other giant beasts from the riverside tribe, and prepared to leave.
The Qinhai tribe sent ten giant bears to carry supplies to them.
Jiujiu, who had gained weight in the Qinhai tribe, flew above them, sometimes flying to the front and sometimes falling behind. He was also a little excited about returning to the riverside tribe.
There was no need to rush when they went back, it took them two and a half days to reach the Riverside Tribe.
It was already the afternoon of the third day that they arrived at the Riverside Tribe. The patrolling orcs saw them immediately and came out to greet them.
The cubs from the Riverside Tribe also ran out.
The two sides stopped, and the giant wolf and bear were about to unload their supplies. The cubs rushed towards Jian Mo, hugging his thighs, and shouting: "Brother Jian Mo - we miss you so much." ! And Jiujiu!"
Before Jian Mo could squat down, Kitten Jiu crawled up his legs and rubbed Jian Mo's head with his chubby cheek: "Brother Jian Mo, meow! "
When Little White Wolf Zhoudao saw this scene, he rushed into Jian Mo's arms and pressed his mouth to Jian Mo's stomach, almost making him angry: "Brother Jian Mo! "Wow!"
Jian Mo was stunned ! The kids were overwhelmed and hugged them quickly: "Stop, stop, stop, I'm back, I'm not going anywhere for the time being, don't worry, don't worry."
Jiang Xing hugged Jian Mo's arm: "Brother Jian Mo, we are really good I miss you! You smell like a bear."
As he said this, Jiang Xing wrinkled his nose in disgust, and the little kitten Banjiu and the little white wolf Zhoudao rubbed themselves against Jian Mo even more. The smell is wiped away.
Jian Mo touched this and that, and said with a smile: "Nonsense, I smell like a bear."
Zhoudao nudged Jian Mo again with his mouth: "It smells like a bear, no nonsense."
Jian Mo said with a smile . Mo doubted that he had been in the Qinhai tribe for too long and had been soaked by the bear. It was difficult to refute, so he changed the subject and said: "You guys go and see Jiujiu, Jiujiu misses you too."
The supplies on Jiujiu's back had just been unloaded . Next, when Jian Mo mentioned his name, it jumped up and flapped its wings twice: "Chirp Chirp."
The cubs also missed Chirp Chirp, and rushed over with a huff, hugging their wings and burying their belly: "Chirp Chirp - " Tweet!
" said the cubs: "Tweet!"
Others in the tribe who heard the news came out, looked at Jian Mo with joy, and talked around him.
"You are finally back. There seems to be something missing in the tribe without you. We are not used to it."
"Brother Jian Mo, I heard that Chief Shu Guang has a big hole in his stomach. Can you see it directly from his lower back? "
Brother Jian Mo, you are so awesome! It has spread to all the nearby tribes, and you can still save the leader Shu Guang from death!"
Jian Mo was surrounded by people, everyone was excited and enthusiastic.
It's just that the words are a bit outrageous.
He opened his mouth to try to explain something, and finally said: "Why don't you come to my house for tea? Let's sit down and talk slowly."
It happened that he had to use up so many supplies he brought back, so he could eat, drink, chat with everyone, and clarify all kinds of strange things. rumor.
Chapter 99 The eight-mouthed insect
Jian Mo was unable to heal the seriously injured Shu Guang, which shocked several nearby tribes.
When they heard that Jian Mo was back, several tribesmen came all the way to inquire. After hearing this, they were filled with admiration.
Jian Mo couldn't help but feel bored after hearing too many compliments.
He took Wu Jiong into the forest to collect, leaving early in the morning and returning late every day, so that everyone who wanted to find him failed.
After repeating this a few times, the number of people looking for him gradually decreased.
It is now late spring and early summer, and there is really an abundance of food in the woods, especially plants. Basically, all parts of plants can be eaten in this season, and occasionally you can catch insects from the plants.
The food was plentiful and everyone had more delicious food.
Let's not talk about others, just Jian Mo's family. The ingredients are basically different every day. In addition to drying or pickling the excess food, you can also feed it to Jiujiu and pack beasts.
Their family still has eight beasts of burden, one male and seven females.
The female beasts already have cubs, and they look quite healthy. Soon, their family will have more beasts of burden and milk, and by then the diet can be further expanded.
Not only their family, but the Riverside Tribe has also developed well this year.
During this period, everyone took the time to make two rounds of metal utensils and two pools of paper. Jian Mo estimated that if there was more paper, they might be able to exchange it for metal blocks at the Jintuo tribe.
Making paper is much easier than making pottery, and the price/performance ratio is much higher. If they can replace it, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages for them.
Speaking of papermaking, Jian Mo had previously thought about adding some lime to soak the bark. Adding lime should speed up the decomposition process of the bark.
Later, I thought about what they lack most now is time, and there is no need to improve the quality of paper. This quality of paper is enough to cope with most of their life scenes.
Thinking of this, Jian Mo pressed down the idea.
Lime is also very difficult to burn, so you can save a little bit.
On this day, the huge white wolf transformed by Wu Jiong was carrying Jian Mo back. When the orcs on patrol saw them, they laughed twice and said, "The orcs from the Honghui tribe came here just now and are waiting at the small clinic."
Jian Mo. As soon as Mo saw this smile, he knew there was something hidden in it: "What's wrong with you?"
The patrolling orc asked: "He was bitten by an insect."
He was bitten by an insect. Why does he have this expression?
Jian Mo glanced at the patrolling orcs with confusion: "I know, let's put down our things and go over."
The patrolling orcs said: "Okay. They have been waiting for a while, and they probably don't mind waiting a little longer."
Several tribes nearby Jian Mo is a serious doctor. If the other party minds, there's really nothing he can do about it.
Jian Mo nodded: "We'll be there soon."
After returning home, Jian Mo found the medicine box and said to Wu Jiong: "Why don't you go to the field by the river to pull some herbs that can clear away heat and detoxify? Give it to the orc after reading it. Apply it."
Wu Jiong: "I'll send you there first, and then I'll pull it out."
Jian Mo: "Okay, you can pull out more. We don't have much medicinal oil left. We'll bring some back later to make some."
The two gathered their things and rushed to the clinic.
Jian Mo immediately saw the orc who came to seek medical treatment - he was in the form of an animal, with fiery red fur all over his body, and three tails trailing behind his buttocks. His features were very obvious.
He is an orc from the Red Feral Tribe. When he heard the noise, he turned his head to look.
The red ferocious beast was accompanied by his companions. When the orcs heard the noise, they all turned their heads to look.
Jian Mo saw at a glance that the red beast in the middle had a swollen mouth and swollen eyes. The funniest thing was his ears.
The tops of his pointed furry ears were swollen, like balls, and they were so heavy that he couldn't even stand them up.
Jian Mo glanced at the dejected beast and almost laughed out loud.
Jian Mo adjusted the expression behind the mask, coughed lightly, and said hello: "I'm Jian Mo, I'm coming to take a look."
The young people around the giant beast greeted each other: "Doctor Jian Mo."
The giant beast also greeted weakly : "Doctor Jian Mo, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
Jian Mo waved his hand: "Let me take a look at the injured area first. What kind of insect was bitten by it?"
Giant beast: "Eight-mouthed insect."
Jian Mo has never heard of it. This kind of insect couldn't help but look at Wu Jiong next to him in confusion.
Wu Jiong received his look and explained tacitly: "This kind of insect bites people very painfully. After biting, it will not let go, and the wound will swell badly. It seems to have been bitten by eight mouths, so some people named it eight mouths." "Insect."
This name is really special.
Jian Mo nodded slightly and went over to the giant beast to check.
The red beast lay down.
Jian Mo soon discovered that the most swollen part was not his face or ears, but his butt.
The butt of this red ferocious beast, which looks like a fox or a weasel, has almost swollen to one and a half sizes, and even the hair seems to have been retracted into the flesh.
Jian Mo pressed it gently and found that the insect's head was still on his butt, as well as some adult insects.
This is easy to understand. Ticks, bees, etc. will leave the parts they attack on the wounds of their prey, continuously releasing toxins and causing maximum damage.
The red beast trembled under Jian Mo's pressure and looked very painful.
Jian Mo said apologetically: "I'll check first. It'll be fine soon. Are the fangs firmly embedded in the flesh and generally can't be pulled out?"
The red ferocious beast nodded: "Yes, it's just very difficult to pull out, so I won't Dare to pull it out yourself."
Jian Mo: "What will happen if I don't pull it out?"
Red Beast: "It's almost the same. I've been bitten before. It'll be fine if I just get over it. There are too many places, I guess it won't work. Hiss - it hurts so much that I don't even dare to change back to human form."
Jian Mo picked up the tweezers and said, "I'll try to pull out all the fangs."
The red ferocious beast responded dullly, and his companion looked at Jian Mo expectantly.
Jian Mo invited the red ferocious beast to the open space in front of the small clinic, specially asked him to assume a posture facing the light, and then pulled out the areas within reach first.
The octopus is a bit like a tick, but not exactly like a tick. You cannot rotate and pull out its fangs. Instead, you have to shake them from side to side and slowly pull them out.
Jian Mo showed the pulled fangs to the red ferocious beast and his companions.
The red ferocious beast said bitterly: "Yes! It's these fangs! It's killing me."
Jian Mo stared at his butt: "Actually, it would be better to shave the relevant parts and pluck out the hair."
The red ferocious beast looked at Jian Mo in embarrassment. : "Can you stop shaving? I haven't found a partner yet."
Jian Mo: "Then I'll try to look carefully."
The red beast nodded repeatedly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Jian Mo climbed onto the red beast and slowly Manchu helped him pull out the fangs one by one.
After the fang was pulled out, a bloody hole was obviously formed in the wound left behind, which was very red and swollen.
Jian Mo helped him pull out the fangs and cleaned the wound with a cloth dipped in soapy water.
The venom of most poisonous insects is acidic, so soap and water can help relieve the pain of the wound, but you still have to apply medicine eventually.
After becoming proficient in pulling out, Jian Mo moved much faster and went through the whole body of the red ferocious beast. After pulling out the fangs, he applied soapy water and applied herbal medicine on him.
The red beast finally no longer felt like he was on pins and needles: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo, it feels so comfortable after the extraction." Jian Mo had just finished applying medicine to his ears: "It won't hurt after the extraction,
right?"
: "It doesn't hurt if you don't move, but it hurts if you move."
Jian Mo: "Then don't move it, let it grow slowly."
The red beast took a long breath: "Okay."
Until then, this guy Then she remembered and told Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo, my name is Jinghuo, and I am an orc from the Hongxi tribe."
Jian Mo smiled: "I know you are an orc from the Hongxi tribe. How did you get this injury?"
Jinghuo: "Don't mention it. I found a silver leaf tree and saw sugar juice flowing out, so I went to lick it. Unexpectedly, a large group of eight-mouthed insects flew out and bit me all over my head. I couldn't even run away. I couldn't run away, but they were still chasing me." Jinghuo's companions laughed at him: "Who told you to eat alone? Now when the eight-mouthed insects come, no one will share the firepower with you, right?" Jinghuo's companion laughed
at him.
: "I didn't want to eat alone, I just wanted to try whether the sap is sweet. If it is sweet, I will tell you. Even if I really don't tell you, I will tell Fang Jiang."
His companion couldn't listen anymore. , one person patted his belly: "Tsk."
Jian Mo could tell from the side that Fang Jiang was the sub-orc that Jinghuo liked.
After checking Jinghuo again to make sure that there were no missing fangs, Jian Mo said, "You can bring soap and herbal medicine back. Wash the affected area with soapy water every morning and evening, and then apply the herbal medicine. It should be fine in a few days."
Jinghuo nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo smiled: "You're welcome."
All the fangs on Jinghuo's body have been removed. He doesn't have to worry about wrapping the fangs in his flesh when he changes back to human form. Then he turned around and returned to his human form.
After putting on the animal skin skirt and animal skin sandals, Jinghuo asked sheepishly: "Doctor Jian Mo, what reward do you want?"
Jian Mo thought for a while: "You can carry ten pieces of hard wood here for me."
After saying, Jian Mo gestured: "A piece of hardwood as thick as this will be fine. I can carry it after the injury is healed."
Jinghuo quickly bent down and broke off a piece of grass. Following Jian Mo's gesture, he folded the grass to the appropriate length: "I understand."
After saying that, Jinghuo and his companions thanked them again and prepared to rush back to the Hongxi tribe before it got dark.
Watching them leave, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong walked home side by side.
Jian Mo: "I've never heard of the eight-mouthed bug before. Is it a bug unique to the Red Bull Tribe? And what about the Silver Leaf Tree and Sweet Sap?"
Wu Jiong: "It's not unique to the Red Bull Tribe. There may be eight-mouthed insects in this tribe's territory, but they are rarely seen. As for the silver-leaf tree-"
"The back of the leaves of this tree is silver, so it looks like this. It's nothing special. When bitten by the eight-mouthed insect, it will exude sweet sap and wrap it in the bark. It tastes very good."
Jian Mo's eyes lit up: "It belongs to this kind of tree. Is the juice sweet, or is the juice from the pink tube flowers sweeter? "
Wu Jiong: "The sap of the silver leaf tree is much sweeter, almost as sweet as sugar syrup." Jian Mo immediately said, "Isn't that sugar juice
?"
Jiong: "Absolutely."
Jian Mo's heart moved.
It's not easy to get sugar in this day and age.
They know where the tui's nest is, but they can't touch it every month. They can touch it once a year at most.
The juice made from pink tube flowers is a bit sweet, but it can only be regarded as the level of sugar water, and the sugar yield is very low.
Flour sugar made from noodle grass may be a relatively stable source of sugar, but it consumes too much noodle grass. It is not easy for them to go outside to cut some noodle grass and bring it back, and it is even more troublesome to plant it.
Jian Mo asked: "Are there many silver-leaf trees outside? Are there eight-mouthed insects wherever there are silver-leaf trees?"
Wu Jiong: "There are more silver-leaf trees, but one here and there, so it's not very successful." " Lin, eight-mouthed insects are even rarer. If you want to go, I'll take you to see them tomorrow." Jian Mo nodded
: "I think it's okay. Let's wear a hat and a mask tomorrow to avoid getting bitten."
Even the tips of Jinghuo's ears were swollen, which was too miserable.
Wu Jiong: "No, the eight-mouthed insect doesn't fly very fast. The orc of the red beast may have been stung. He panicked and ran into the dense forest. He couldn't escape, so he was stung so badly. Look at him There were many red and swollen scratches on his body, and his claws were a little bald. He must have been trapped somewhere at that time."
Jian Mo thought about it and felt really: "That's too tragic."
The next day, Wu Jiong changed. The mature giant wolf carried Jian Mo out early and headed straight into the forest where the silver-leaf trees grew.
He was familiar with the nearby woods and soon found the first silver-leaf tree.
The adult silver leaf tree is thirty-four meters tall, with a very straight trunk and a crown that grows high on the top of the tree, far from the ground.
Jian Mo looked up for a long time and realized that he had seen this kind of tree before.
It's just that there are no edible parts of the silver leaf tree, and it grows very tall and is very difficult to climb. People like him who are not good at climbing trees have never tried to climb up the tree to see it.
Jian Mo: "So this is the silver-leaf tree."
Wu Jiong: "That's it. This silver-leaf tree is intact. It should not have been bitten by the eight-mouthed insect."
Jian Mo looked up and looked hard, but his eyesight was a little bit worse. Nothing was seen: "Then let's go see the next tree?"
Wu Jiong: "I'll take you there."
Their luck was a little worse today. The next tree was not bitten by the eight-mouthed insect. Neither did the trees.
It was too troublesome to find specific things in the forest, so Jian Mo had no choice but to suggest hunting and gathering first. If he encountered silver-leaf trees on the way, just look at them. If he didn't encounter them, just forget about it.
They walked all the way into the forest with silver-leaf trees. They walked all day without encountering a silver-leaf tree that had been bitten by eight-mouthed insects. The two baskets on their backs were full, including some that the beasts of burden especially liked to eat. A kind of leaf.
Jian Mo also picked up some leaves from the silver leaf tree and planned to use them as bookmarks.
The back of this kind of leaf is shiny with silver, just like a handicraft, and it looks pretty good.
The less she could find the silver-leaf tree that had been bitten by the eight-mouthed insect, the more curious Jian Mo became, and for a while, she even got into a fight with it.
In the past few days, they could have taken time to hunt or something, but Jian Mo was not interested and just wanted to find the silver-leaf tree.
After searching for several days, Jian Mo finally saw the silver-leaf tree that had been bitten by the eight-mouthed insect.
This kind of stung tree is really conspicuous. There is a huge tumor on the trunk, as if there is a balloon stuffed under the bark. Even if his eyesight is not as sharp as that of orcs and sub-orcs, he can still see it at a glance.
Jian Mo excitedly took Wu Jiong's hand and jumped a few times: "That bulging bag on the tree is filled with sweet sap, right?"
Wu Jiong raised his head: "Yes."
Jian Mo: "Then how do I take it off? Directly. Poke the bulge and let the sap inside flow out? "
Wu Jiong: "No, the sap inside is wrapped in a thin layer of bark. I'll cut it off,"
Wu Jiong said and climbed straight away. Go up.
The bulge was more than ten meters high on the tree trunk. Wu Jiong climbed to the spot in a few seconds, pulled out a dagger from his waist, cut the bark, and slowly took out the bulge.
The removed bulge looks more like a balloon. As long as you gently poke the bark, the sweet juice inside should flow out.
Jian Mo stared at the bulge and Wu Jiong asked: "Want to taste the sap inside?"
Jian Mo was very excited, but finally refused: "Forget it, we didn't bring the bucket out. If it breaks, The sap inside is probably going to run out, it's a waste."
Wu Jiong: "Then go home and try it again."
Jian Mo: "Okay, let's see if there are any other bulges
here ." There are eight-mouthed insects, and you should be able to find other bulges.
Wu Jiong: "Let's go, there are some silver-leaf trees in the northeast."
The two of them walked and searched, and sure enough they found a few more watermelon-sized bulges.
When Wu Jiong took off the bulge, Jian Mo held it carefully and could feel the liquid inside flowing slowly.
I don't know if it's because the sugar juice is thicker.
They searched for a day and found six bulges in total.
Two of the bulges were broken, and Jian Mo tasted them. The sap inside the bulges was as sweet as honey and as sticky as honey.
No wonder Jinghuo would risk being stung to drink the sap.
The two broken bulges were carefully placed by Jian Mo in a basket on his back lined with big leaves. They walked very carefully, and not much of the sweet juice inside the two bulges came out.
The big leaves are not poisonous, and the sweet juice that flows out is not recycled. Instead, it is taken directly to Jiujiu's nest and eaten by Jiujiu as a snack.
Jian Mo planned to pour the remaining sap into a jar, collect it and enjoy it slowly.
The concentration of this sweet juice was too high. He was worried about heating it before, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.
Sugar water and salt water with such a high concentration will create high osmotic pressure, making it difficult for bacteria to survive in it.
Jian Mo hummed and cut open the bulges one by one.
When he cut open the fourth bulge, Wu Jiong suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute, the sap in this bulge seems to be broken."
Jian Mo quickly moved the bulge away from the jar, lowered his head and sniffed: " No?"
As he spoke, he actually smelled a subtle smell of alcohol.
Jian Mo quickly found a large pottery basin and cut open the bulge.
When I cut it open, I saw that the sap inside was slightly turbid and low in concentration. It didn't have that sticky feeling. It didn't look like honey, but like soaked honey water. At the same time, there was a smell of wine.
Jian Mo: "How could this happen?"
Wu Jiong pointed to an eye on the bulge and said, "Maybe it was eaten by eight-mouthed insects when the sap just came out, and dew got in from behind, and the bark slowly grew. Okay, that's it for the sap inside."
Jian Mo: "That's too much of a coincidence."
Jian Mo looked at the large bowl of sweet water and hesitated, "I'll give it a try.
" It should be no longer drinkable."
Jian Mo: "Try it before you drink it."
Jian Mo said, taking out a water-free and oil-free spoon, scooping out half a spoon and taking a sip.
The sweet and sour taste of wine spread on the tip of his tongue. The sap inside seemed to be really fermented. It might have fermented into vinegar for a certain period of time, and then fermented towards wine for a period of time, so the taste was so good. strangeness.
Wu Jiong grabbed his wrist: "Be careful."
Jian Mo: "I just licked a drop. It seems to be really good. You should try it too."
Wu Jiong took his hand and drank a little.
Jian Mo said: "Right, it just tastes like wine and vinegar, there is no other smell."
Human tongues are very sensitive, and orcs' tongues are even more sensitive, so there should be no mistake.
Wu Jiong: "It's probably not poisonous, but it doesn't taste very good."
Jian Mo: "Maybe it wasn't fermented properly outside. Let me try to save it first and see if I can save it?"
Jian Mo went upstairs to find them to pack the Snow Pearl Cider. jar.
They brewed several jars of Snow Pearl Fruit Wine one after another in the winter, and drank almost all of them. Jian Mo didn't wash the jars, so he just wanted to use these Snow Pearl Fruit Wine as a starter.
After Jian Mo found the jar, he wanted to pour the sap into it. After thinking about it, he said, "I'd better heat it up to kill the bacteria inside before pouring it in."
Wu Jiong nodded in agreement: "That's true. It's really safer."
Jian Mo: "When it's brewed, grab a small animal and come over to taste the wine for us, or just let the male pack animal taste it. If it doesn't matter, we'll drink it."
It's about food safety, Jian Mo. Still very cautious, since the male pack animals have been bred anyway and are of little use for the time being.
However, that is a matter for the future. They will brew the wine first.
I hope they can succeed, otherwise it will be a waste of sap.
Chapter 100
After the black sap wine was brewed under the lamp, Jian Mo would open it every day when he came back.
Making a pottery altar is quite troublesome. Don't let the sap wine brew and stink the pottery altar.
With the porous structure of the pottery jar, if the sap and wine stink inside, it will take a long time for the jar to smell bad, and it will be inconvenient to use it to store anything later.
Jian Mo treated the jar of sap wine with caution, but the sap wine was far more impressive than he thought.
On just the second day, the sap wine in the jar smelled like alcohol.
On the third day, the sap wine has already given off a special fragrance, a bit like flowers and fruits and a bit like caramel. It smells very good.
He really didn't expect that brewing wine could produce such a complex aroma, and he had a lot of expectations in his heart.
After waiting day by day, the sap wine was slowly brewed.
In less than ten days, the various flavors settled and became extremely restrained. Only Wu Jiong could smell the various aromas hidden under the slightly viscous liquid, while all Jian Mo could smell was the smell of wine.
Jian Mo couldn't wait: "Open it quickly and have a taste. I think the brew is ready."
Wu Jiong put one hand around his waist and pulled him back: "I'll taste it this time."
Jian Mo: "Okay, then hurry up Taste it."
Wu Jiong took a water-free and oil-free wooden spoon, scooped out half a spoonful, and tasted it lightly.
Jian Mo looked at him eagerly: "How is it? Is there any odor? Can you drink it?"
Wu Jiong handed the spoon to his lips: "There is no odor, the wine tastes pure and the taste is very special."
Jian Moxin How special do you want to be? Then he held Wu Jiong's wrist with his hand and drank the remaining wine.
As soon as the viscous wine entered his mouth, many flavors such as sweet, rich, slightly bitter, etc. flashed in his mind. After swallowing, he felt that the mouthfeel was very smooth and had a refreshing feeling.
It's hard to describe the complex texture and taste, but it's really delicious.
It's actually really different!
Jian Mo said in surprise: "It tastes very good!"
Wu Jiong nodded: "It's indeed good. Do you want the male beast to try it again?"
Jian Mo thought for a while: "I'm reluctant to part with it. How about we give the wine away?" Seal it and see if there is any discomfort today? If not, try it tomorrow."
Wu Jiong: "Let's try it ourselves?"
Jian Mo: "I think it should be fine, even you don't feel it. Maybe there is really no place left."
Wu Jiong: "That's okay."
They didn't feel any discomfort that day, nor did they feel any discomfort the next day.
Jian Mo took Wu Jiong and tasted it again. The smell of the wine in the jar was even stronger.
Generally, when making wine, once the fermentation is almost complete, the wine liquid must be filtered out and allowed to ferment separately.
There was only liquid in the sap, with no other impurities at all. They had no way to filter it, so they let it ferment and settle in pottery jars.
It also fermented very well, and gradually gave it a more restrained flavor over time, making it taste richer and more powerful.
Seeing that Jian Mo liked the jar of wine very much, Wu Jiong asked, "Do you want to take some more sweet juice to make wine?"
Jian Mo was a little tempted, but refused: "It's not easy to find the sweet juice, so I'd better save it. Let's wait until this jar of sap wine is finished."
They paid special attention to the silver-leaf trees when they went out to collect during this period.
Whether it was good or bad luck, they had never seen the eight-mouthed insect or been stung by it, but correspondingly, they had never found any sweet sap.
Jian Mo also tried cutting a gap in the silver leaf tree to let the sap flow.
However, the sap flowing out has the unique bitterness of the sap, and at most it has a slight fragrance, which is not the smell of being bitten by an eight-mouthed insect at all.
Maybe after the eight-mouthed insect bites the silver-leaf tree, it releases some kind of chemical substance, and the silver-leaf tree produces sweet juice.
Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong: "When are we free? When we are ready, we will go find the nest of the eight-mouthed insect and catch it to sting the silver leaf tree."
Wu Jiong pinched the back of his neck: "That one is more than one There are only two, and a large group of eight-mouthed insects must bite the bark of the tree together to make the sweet juice flow out. If a person is bitten too many times, it will easily lead to fever, and the consequences will be serious."
Jian Mo sighed: "I understand, we have ticks there . Insect bites may also cause life-threatening injuries. "
Catching eight-mouthed insects biting silver-leaf trees is a beautiful fantasy.
They didn't find any more sweet juice, but the recent harvest was good.
As summer was approaching, wild plants grew rapidly, bringing them a variety of wild vegetables and fruits.
Today's wild vegetables have a crisp and tender taste, a relatively mild bitterness, and are relatively delicious.
After a while, in summer and autumn, most wild vegetables will become bitter and rough, making them difficult to eat.
Everyone cherished this time and worked very hard to collect various wild vegetables, including Jian Mo and the others.
Jian Mo and the others would sort out the wild vegetables they picked up, keeping the fresh ones, giving the slightly older ones to Chiu Jiu, and the older ones to the beasts of burden.
They had already picked them on the branches, but they were in a short time and couldn't pick them carefully. Moreover, wild vegetables also aged very quickly. Often they were still fresh and tender when they picked them, but they had become old and rough when they brought them back.
In this case, they can only select it again and then put it in the pot to boil.
It was only after Jian Mo came to this world that he learned that drying wild vegetables needs to be cooked, otherwise they will age during the drying process. After drying, the fibers become extremely thick and there is almost no room for eating.
Because there is an additional process of drying wild vegetables every day, they have a lot to do when they come back.
Jian Mo usually hurriedly selects the wild vegetables the night before, blanchs them, and hangs them to dry on a large rattan rack. When he gets up the next morning, he turns them over, then further pulls the wild vegetables apart, and at the same time selects the ones with poor quality. Feed to chirp or pack animals.
This morning, Jian Mo was picking wild vegetables to dry in the yard.
Kitty Banjiu walked slowly from outside. He did not jump in directly from the low wall of the yard today. Instead, he pushed the fence door open with his butt and walked in slowly.
Jian Mo raised his head and glanced at the little guy: "Is Banjiu here?"
Banjiu walked to his feet and rubbed his calf: "Meow, brother Jian Mo."
There were many things to dry in the yard, and there were some wild birds or Bugs will fly down and eat them.
Jian Mo didn't care about this loss, but he couldn't stand the food that had been picked off by bugs and wild birds, especially when these guys ate and pooped, making it particularly messy.
He asked the cubs in the tribe who could not yet transform to come over and help him drive away the birds, and he was rewarded with meatballs.
The cubs really like this job. Every day, the cubs come to report early in the morning. It is also very effective in driving away insects and birds.
For the cubs, it's just a matter of sleeping in a different place and taking a quick look when they hear any noise. It would be great if they could eat meatballs instead.
After Jian Mo greeted Ban Jiu, she was about to ask him to come over and rub him, but she found a figure behind Ban Jiu.
It turned out that Qing Kuo was following behind, and Jian Mo asked why Ban Jiu was so good today and didn't even jump over the wall.
Jian Mo smiled and called Qing Kuo: "Why are you free to come here today?"
Qing Kuo: "I wanted to ask you if you want to go harvest fruit pods with us."
Jian Mo stopped what he was doing: "Fruit pods? What? "A type of fruit pod, a kind of wild vegetable?"
Qingkuo: "Yes, a fruit pod that grows on a vine over the Ambush Mountain. The fruit is large and thick. Boil it in salt water and then soak it in the sun. When there is a shortage of food, it can be stewed for a long time."
Jian Mo was a little surprised. He had never heard of it or eaten it. "Not many people eat it?"
Qing Kuo smiled: "There are many, but the clan leader is single. The orcs had enough food in previous years, and he never ate much wild vegetables, preserved fruits, etc. "
Jian Mo didn't know that last year they had to trade preserved fruits with people from the tribe.
Qing Kuo: "If you are interested, I will bring you some fruit pods that were dried last year when you come back in the afternoon. How about you go?"
Jian Mo nodded vigorously: "Go!"
Qing Kuo: "Then you clean up, we Let's gather in the open space."
Jian Mo: "Okay, I'll tell Wu Jiong first."
Wu Jiong was tweeting. Jian Mo ran over and told him about the fruit pods. He didn't have any objections.
If Jian Mo didn't go out with him, he would take the orcs in the tribe to hunt.
Jian Mo heard that there were a lot of fruit pods, so he specially brought two baskets, folded them up and carried them on his back.
The sub-orcs in the tribe hadn't gone out to collect with him for a while. They felt very friendly when they saw him, and they pulled him to ask a lot of questions.
While chatting, everyone set off towards the destination. The walking was much faster than before, and we almost arrived while chatting.
Jian Mo took a look: "Aren't we going to the Ambush River?"
Qing Kuo: "Of course not, that kind of vines grow in the Grand Canyon, we have to go to the other side of the canyon."
Jian Mo: "Because the canyon is warmer Is it suitable for the growth of that kind of fruit pod?"
Qing Kuo smiled: "Absolutely."
The group walked along the path towards the canyon.
People obviously come here often, so the trails are trampled on and are completely different from the grass on both sides.
Jian Mo had never been here before, and Wu Jiong didn't come here when he took him to collect food. He chose forests where all kinds of food were abundant.
It seems that full-time collectors are different from amateur collectors. He can go out with the tribe more often, and he should be able to collect more things than when he goes out alone with Wu Jiong.
While thinking about it, they turned another corner and turned directly into the Grand Canyon.
Before Jian Mo could even raise his head, his nose smelled a strong scent of flowers.
He subconsciously took a look and saw that the three sides of the mountains facing the canyon were all covered with small pink, blue, purple and white flowers. These small flowers exuded a strong floral fragrance and enveloped the entire canyon in a sweet fragrance.
Jian Mo even saw honey sparrows flying around among the flowers.
So shocking!
He rarely saw this kind of flower all over the mountains and plains in the wild. This flower was so lush!
Jian Mo opened her mouth in surprise: "They are all over the mountain?"
Qing Kuo: "Yes, these fruit pods bloom and bear fruit at the same time. Let's pick the tender ones."
Jian Mo quickly followed Qing Kuo.
After going up the mountain, Jian Mo quickly saw the small flowers growing on the vines on the roadside.
This small flower is a bit like a small bird, with bulging petals in the middle to protect the style and petals on both sides.
It looks familiar.
Jian Mo looked at it for a while, but couldn't remember what kind of plant it looked like.
Just as Jian Mo was observing carefully, Qing Kuo pulled a vine in front of him and said to Jian Mo: "Just pick these tender fruit pods. If they are older, the hair on the pods will also change." It's hard and it's irritating my throat."
Jian Mo looked closer and saw that there were indeed tiny hairs on the fruit pods.
Wait, why does the shape of this fruit pod look so familiar?
ââIsn't this a bean? !
Jian Mo finally remembered what the flowers she saw before looked like, like pea flowers!
Pea flowers have a similar shape!
He looked at the fruit pod in shock, God, this is obviously a pod!
The pods in front of me were clearly eye beans, lentils, and the like. They looked exactly the same, maybe a little bigger.
Unexpectedly, the beans he had been looking for for so long were on the mountain near the tribe.
It's dark under the lamp!
Jian Mo pointed to the fruit pod and said excitedly: "This seems to be the beans I told you!"
Qing Kuo was confused: "Aren't the beans round and hard, and can be cooked and eaten directly? We don't eat them Its seeds are poisonous."
Jian Mo: "But you eat the fruit pods. Aren't the fruit pods poisonous?"
Qing Kuo: "It's different. The poison in the fruit pods can be soaked in salt water.
" Mo: "What about the seeds inside? Can't they be boiled in salt water to soak out the toxins?"
Qing Kuo shook his head: "We have never tried that way of eating."
Jian Mo was still in shock and couldn't help but I don't know what to say.
Ye Luo heard their discussion and came over with two yellow fruit pods: "These are the fruit pods that grew last year. Jian Mo, can you see if they are the beans you want?"
Jian Mo took them and they matured naturally last year. The fruit pods are more like pea pods, or like large dry lentils, with bulging seeds inside and a hard and flexible pod skin on the outside.
He tore open the pod with his nails, and the cashew-like seeds inside fell out. Although the shape was not very regular, the skin was very smooth, and there was a familiar hilum on the side.
Jian Mo: "This is really a bean. It looks almost exactly the same as the beans we have over there."
Qing Kuo stared at the seeds: "Let's go back and try to make it. We'll know after you try it."
Jian Mo took a breath Nose, nodded: "Okay."
Unexpectedly, Jian Mo found the beans suddenly, and Jian Mo was overjoyed and a little exhausted.
After a while, he began to collect fruit pods.
Small pods are very similar to lentils, just enlarged.
In addition to the newly grown fruit pods on the vines, there are also fruit pods on last year's branches that have not yet fallen and flowers that have not yet turned into fruit pods.
Jian Mo looked at the flowers all over the mountains and fields, and suddenly thought of the beans on earth that she couldn't eat as soon as summer entered, and a smile appeared on her face.
It's true that you can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
What a fate.
Jian Mo was thinking about various things in confusion, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all.
The fruit pods were big and plump, and soon the two baskets Jian Mo brought were full.
He put one basket on his back and one on his chest and tested the weight. It felt okay and not too heavy.
Although it is a bit obstructive to walk, the road here is easier to walk, and there are people leading the way, so it doesn't matter much.
Qing Kuo and the others can now see that Jian Mo really likes this thing he calls pods.
Jian Mo said seriously: "According to what you said, after processing, even if we can't finish it ourselves, we can use it to feed Jiujiu or the pack beast."
Qing Kuo: "Yes, you have a pack beast at home." Jian Mo
said . Mo: "It's not entirely a question of feeding the beasts of burden. Bean pods are easier to pick than nuts. Last year we picked all the nuts."
Qing Kuo: "But it's really poisonous. If you eat too much, you'll vomit. " It won't work."
Jian Mo: "Let me deal with it. I'll see if I can develop another way to eat it."
Everyone looked at Jian Mo and said nothing.
When he reached a difficult part of the road, Qingkuo even took the initiative to help him carry the basket on his chest.
They went all the way back to the tribe, and everyone who saw Jian Mo was a little surprised that he had picked so many fruit pods.
When Jian Mo returned home, Banjiu and several other cubs were obediently guarding the yard to chase away birds.
Seeing Jian Mo come back, the cubs ran up to him, pulling his pants down and his shirt down, curiously looking at the basket on his back.
When they saw it was a fruit pod, the cubs jumped off him lightly and ran to the side.
Jian Mo: "What do you think?"
Little White Wolf Zhoudao shook his tail: "Ouch - Brother Jian Mo, this is not delicious, it's poisonous."
Jian Mo: "I'll try to see if I can make it Is it more delicious?"
Zhoudao stood there and looked at it, and finally stepped back a little: "Forget it, I won't try it anymore."
Such a greedy little white wolf doesn't like fruit pods, Jian Mo really doubts it. Isn't this thing completely different from the pods on earth?
But the beans are really good, and he himself has a good impression of all kinds of beans.
Seeing that Jian Mo was back and that the task of guarding the wild vegetables was completed, the cubs took the meatballs they received and ran out to play.
Jian Mo took back the dried wild vegetables and put the undried ones into the house. He will continue to dry them tomorrow and then process the fruit pods.
The pods are a bit rough, and even small pods have velvet on their shells.
Jian Mo rubbed it with salt and washed it as clean as possible, then chopped it into pieces and squeezed out the water, extracted it and boiled it with salt water in the kitchen.
After it was cooked, he took a piece and tasted it. As soon as he took his mouth, it was indeed a bit bitter bean flavor, not too unpleasant, but definitely not delicious.
The seeds inside are more like young beans, but they taste more bitter than the pods, and the unique smell of the plant is more obvious.
There is indeed a difference between this thing and beans.
Jian Mo has seen a lot of beans and knows that not every kind of beans is delicious.
Some beans are inherently bitter, such as the famous mung beans, don't they have a bit of bitterness?
It doesn't matter if it's bitter, as long as it's not poisonous and you can eat it.
Beans can provide a large amount of protein and various nutrients. They are a very superior crop. If they are not poisonous, you can prepare more.
The kitchen was filled with steam.
Wu Jiong walked in at some unknown time and asked from behind Jian Mo: "Boiled fruit pods?"
Jian Mo turned around and said, "Yes! These are probably the beans I told you!"
Wu Jiong stepped forward. Taking a step forward, she held his waist and looked into the pot: "Aren't the beans very delicious?"
Jian Mo: "Huh? It seems you don't like this kind of fruit pods?"
Wu Jiong stared at the fruit pods in the pot: "A bit Poison."
Jian Mo: "Treat it first to see if the poison can be soaked away."
Jian Mo pinched another piece of fruit pod and threw it into his mouth. "It's not too unpalatable."
Wu Jiong: "Maybe . You like it better."
Jian Mo finally understood why there were so many beans in the mountains and fields, but no one picked them, and no one thought they were beans.
It seems that most people in the Riverside Tribe don't like this kind of food, and their acceptance of it is not as good as the processed noodle cake.
While Jian Mo was busy, Qing Kuo's voice came from outside: "Jian Mo, are you there? I'm here to give you the fruit pods that were dried last year."
Jian Mo: "In the kitchen! Come in quickly."
Qing Kuo walked in with a basket and showed Jian Mo the brown fruit pods that were dried: "These are the fruit pods that were dried last year. You try it first. It's not poisonous, but the taste is average."
Jian Mo pinched a small strip. , when you put it in your hand and look at it, it really feels like dried beans. When you take a bite, a salty taste and the astringency of plants fill your mouth.
Jian Mo scooped clean hot water from another pot and soaked it in a pottery basin: "We'll try it later."
Qing Kuo: "Okay, if you finish eating, just ask me for it. We still have some at home. There are a lot of fruit pods that were dried last year, but I guess after they are all eaten, the fruit pods you dried this year will also come down."
Wu
Jiong doesn't like these fruit pods very much, but he has no complaints about the work. .
After Jian Mobo blanched the fruit pods, Wu Jiong helped pick them upstream of the river and soak the fruit pods in running water.
Jian Mo also specially peeled some dry bean pods from last year. The beans inside were smooth and plump, with no trace of insect damage.
Beans do have a more bitter taste than fruit pods, they smell bad, and they taste average.
Jian Mo also boiled it in water, then soaked it in the river and washed it.
If this kind of beans is still very different from the beans on earth after processing, then the world may not have the kind of beans he wants at all.
Thinking of this, Jian Mo couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
But when I thought about it, they already had enough food. Whether there were beans or not didn't have much impact on them.
You still have to calm down.
After the people in the tribe boil the fruit pods in salt water, they usually put them in the river to wash them overnight, and then take them back to dry in the next morning.
Jian Mo pursued the taste and simply left it outside to brew for three days.
After rinsing for a long enough time, the bitter taste of the fruit pods was indeed reduced a lot, but in contrast, the taste of the fruit pods itself was also reduced a lot, and it tasted a bit bland.
You can't have your cake and eat it too, and there's nothing Jian Mo can do about it.
Jian Mo cooked the fruit pods twice, once with the fruit pods sent by Qing Kuo, and once with the fruit pods dried at home.
Wu Jiong didn't like either of them, but Jian Mo thought it was okay when he ate it. With the stewed meat, he could vaguely taste the flavor of the dried bean stew - a bland version.
The pods are not very tasty, and the beans are even less tasty.
But none of them are poisonous. Jian Mo tried it with a male pack animal. The male pack animal that ate half a bucket of beans and half a bucket of fruit pods was alive and well and stayed alive for several days.
It seems that both fruit pods and beans can be eaten, so there is no need to worry about food safety issues for the time being.
The only thing that made Jian Mo a little depressed was that the male beast of burden, which had eaten too many fruit pods and beans, suffered from a slight bloating disease. His belly was stretched out and he kept farting.
In those days, Jian Mo didn't want to go into the barn anymore, and would wear a mask if he had to go in.
The male beast was disgusted by the female and shrank into a corner, with embarrassment on his furry face.
It seems that the quantity must be controlled well, otherwise the consequences will be quite embarrassing.
After finally finding the beans, Jian Mo was unwilling to let it end like this.
He thought about it for several days and said to Wu Jiong: "Let's go to the Salt Lake to get some salt water and come back. I'll try to make tofu."
Wu Jiong: "Tofu?"
Jian Mo didn't know how to describe it, so she said: " A food similar to fruit cake needs to go through complicated processing, and the water from the salt lake is used in the process. "
Wu Jiong: "Okay, we will go tomorrow, just in time to bring back some salt, and we will also use the salt from the tribe. It's almost done. "
The water in the salt lake is brine, which is rich in metal ions. It's definitely fine for making tofu, but it's not very good at most.
Beans don't taste good, but tofu can't taste too bad, right?
