Chapter 21 Pottery Pot

Everyone looks at the charcoal in front of them. Even if they have never used charcoal before, they can tell by the sound and texture that it is good stuff.

Qing Kuo turned to Wu Jiong and Jian Mo and asked, "How should we divide the charcoal?"

Jian Mo said, "I don't have any objections, just listen to Wu Jiong."

Wu Jiong turned around and scanned around: "Leave one third of the charcoal." Give it to the tribe as a spare, and the rest will be divided according to the amount of effort. "

This method is very fair, and everyone has no objection.

Qing Kuo quickly directed everyone to distribute the charcoal.

Everyone burned charcoal for the first time and looked at it in surprise when they held it in their hands.

Jian Mo helped to divide it, and every time he divided it, he would tell people that the charcoal could not be burned in a closed place, and a hole must be left, otherwise it would be poisonous.

The orcs and sub-orcs who were given charcoal expressed understanding: "It's just like burning firewood. It's poisonous if it's sealed."

Zhou Fu was more direct: "Don't worry, none of our houses here are particularly tightly sealed."

Jian Mo Thinking of the leaky house that had just been repaired with mud, he said nothing more.

After dividing the charcoal, Wu Jiong picked up the charcoal for two people and took it home.

Jian Mo looked at the charcoal he had just picked up: "Shall I take some out to burn?"

Wu Jiong: "Do you want to take it to the beast of burden to burn?"

Jian Mo: "Not needed for the time being? The beast of burden will burn firewood during the day. Okay, let me burn it at home first and see how it works."

Wu Jiong took out a big old pottery pot from the debris pile and said, "Use this."

Jian Mo took the pottery pot and grabbed it. Put the dead leaves underneath, then take out another piece of charcoal, gently break it into sections, and put it on top.

He lit the dead leaves with a fire stick. With the blazing fire, the charcoal was quickly ignited, faster than firewood.

It seems that the quality of the charcoal is really good.

The two of them stared at the charcoal in the pottery without blinking.

Charcoal fire is warm, smokeless, and quiet. It will not suddenly explode with sparks like firewood.

Jian Mo was burned by sparks several times, and almost every piece of animal skin clothing had burnt holes.

After roasting the charcoal fire for a while, Wu Jiong said: "The charcoal was not in vain."

Jian Mo: "Right, charcoal burns better than wood. It is estimated that it will not go out until noon."

Wu Jiong nodded: "These two days Let's chop more wet wood and burn more charcoal."

Jian Mo didn't have any objections, but he just reminded: "Don't delay other things because of burning charcoal." Wu Jiong: "If you can't delay it, you should also chop wood

."

Mo: "It's all about chopping firewood. It's much more troublesome to make charcoal than to chop wood."

Wu Jiong: "We are just not skilled. The real troublesome part of making charcoal is the step of building the kiln. Those with quick hands can finish it in a while."

Jian Mo thought about it and said, "Then you can call me when you want to go out."

After breakfast, Wu Jiong will lead people to patrol to check the situation outside. He will probably stay outside all day.

Jian Mo stopped him and asked, "Do you want to eat barbecue tonight?"

Wu Jiong looked at the meat hanging under the eaves and frowned, obviously not thinking much about it.

Jian Mo felt a little funny in his heart, and added: "It's not the kind of barbecue that is very old and will stick to your teeth. I plan to bake a new type of barbecue."

Wu Jiong then relaxed his brows: "Then eat it."

Wu Jiong was very happy . It was almost time to go out, so Jian Mo stayed in the tribe to deal with chores.

He poured some hairy root starch from the jar and first added spices to marinate the meat.

Animal meat is generally old and needs to be marinated for a day before it becomes more tender and flavorful.

Marinate it now and it will be just right when grilled in the evening.

After a busy day, Jian Mo checked the marinated meat in the evening. Seeing that it was almost marinated, he used a skewer to skewer the fat and lean meat.

In addition to pure meat skewers, he also skewers some wood root meat skewers and sour fruit meat skewers. The vegetables and stems are not so greasy and are more in line with his taste.

Charcoal barbecue is different from wood-fire barbecue.

Jian Mo directly inserted the meat skewers around the charcoal fire without worrying about flames coming out and burning the meat skewers.

Because the charcoal fire is particularly stable, the grilled meat has a charming brown color. The color is very even.

The smell of barbecue wafted out, attracting a group of little guys.

The little guys' eyes were bright, staring at the barbecue, and their saliva was about to flow.

Jian Mo looked at these little guys and then at Wu Jiong.

Wu Jiong silently waved to the little guys to come over - he was going to divide the meat.

Jian Mo had a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, when the little guys saw him waving, they not only didn't come over, but turned around and ran away.

Jian Mo was stunned for a moment and said to Wu Jiong: "Are you afraid of me or you?"

Wu Jiong: "The little guys have never been afraid of me."

"That said, the little guys have not been afraid of me either." After that, , Jian Mo added, "At least so far, the little guys haven't been afraid of me."

Wu Jiong caught the key words in his words: "Maybe they will be afraid of you in the future?"

Jian Mo: "Doctor, how often? A little bit. After a few more visits, the little guys might run away when they see me. "

Wu Jiong was curious about his previous work: "You are very good at treating diseases."

Jian Mo: "That's because now. The cases encountered are all minor problems, and the treatment is not painful. It will be different if there is a painful problem. "

Wu Jiong: "What is the most painful thing?"

Jian Mo thought about the previous patients. " Sterilization?"

Wu Jiong didn't know why.

Jian Mo looked at him and explained in a more popular language: "It's about cutting the balls."

Wu Jiong said nothing and silently adjusted his sitting posture.

While they were chatting, the little guys ran over again carrying things. This time they were followed by the little guys who couldn't transform yet.

"Clan leader - Brother Jian Mo -" Jiang Xing, the leader, was panting from running, "We brought food to exchange for kebabs, okay?"

Wu Jiong nodded.

There was a smile on Jian Mo's face: "Did your family ask you to bring it?"

Jiang Xing nodded: "My father said that everyone doesn't have much food, so we are not allowed to come and eat and drink."

Jian Mo accepted their food For food, give the meat skewers to them. The little ones who can't transform can just give them a piece as big as a finger, and just have a taste.

The little guys took the food aside and squatted by the fire pit, making "wow" sounds while eating.

The charcoal grilled meat skewers are charred on the outside and tender on the inside. There is no smoky smell at all, only a rich meat flavor, which is very delicious.

The little guys couldn't keep their mouths busy and kept talking while eating meat.

Knowing that Jian Mo wanted to use charcoal to make pottery, Jiang Xing said, "The clay from our tribe is not good, but the clay from the Dian Xin tribe is better."

Jian Mo had dealt with the Dian Xin tribe at the hunting conference and knew that this was a plantation The relatively developed tribe laughed and said, "Where did you hear these words?"

Jiang Xing: "My father said that the pottery made from the clay of the Dianxin tribe is very beautiful and not easy to crack. The pottery of our tribe The pottery is easy to crack. "

Jian Mo explained: "The pottery of our tribe is easy to crack because there are bubbles in the pottery when it is made, or the temperature is uneven when it is fired."

The little guys didn't understand and insisted. The clay from Dianxin tribe is the best.

Jian Mo turned to look at Wu Jiong, who raised his head and gave a questioning look, but did not correct the little guys' thoughts.

Jian Mo had no choice but to tell the little guys that he would visit the Dianxin tribe if he had the chance.

Charcoal is indeed a good thing. Jian Mo puts a pot of charcoal in the animal shed at night and can burn it directly until the next morning, saving them the trouble of getting up at night.

The cubs of the pack animals were kept warm and all survived.

Seeing this, Wu Jiong took the orcs up the mountain to chop a lot of hardwood when he was free. Jian Mo took everyone to burn a few more batches of charcoal.

The more they burn, the more experienced they become. Now they no longer need to water the kiln. When the fire reaches the temperature, they seal the kiln with earth in time. The quality of the charcoal burned has improved a lot.

On this day, Jian Mo looked at the newly cut trees and said to Wu Jiong with some worry: "How about you replant a few trees after cutting them down? I'm worried that if you continue to cut down the trees like this, the tribe's hardwoods will soon be gone. It was chopped down."

Wu Jiong: "New shoots will sprout in the spring and they will grow again."

After a pause, Wu Jiong said, "It's okay to plant more seeds. It will be easier to cut them after a few years.

" : "Yes, we have to take the path of sustainable development, and don't really cut down the mountains near the tribe."

Wu Jiong roughly understood what he meant and nodded.

While the tribe was busy burning charcoal, Jian Mo and the others glazed the pottery.

Winter is dry and the glaze dries quickly.

On this day, after Qing Kuo inspected the pottery, he asked the little ones to come over and call Jian Mo, saying that the pottery was ready to be fired.

Everyone has been waiting for a long time to bake this batch of pottery. When they heard that they could be fired, everyone was very excited.

Seeing this, Jian Mo asked everyone to prepare to bake pottery tomorrow.

It was too late today. He had to make a simple hand-cranked fan fixed on the ground, which was not ready yet.

Zhou Fu and the others were puzzled: "Do you want to go to such trouble? We didn't make a fan last time, and the pottery we made was quite good."

Jian Mo: "Last time we burned with wood, this time we burned with charcoal, it's different. And ——After completing all the previous steps, the success rate of making pottery will be higher if you do this step better. "

Qing Kuo: "What should we do with the fan?"

Jian Mo did not refuse and took them to find it together . Make a hand fan out of wood.

These little things are quite simple to make as long as you know the principles.

They spent a day making two hand-cranked fans, one main fan and one backup.

Early the next morning, they brought the charcoal and started building a kiln to make pottery.

This time they used nine parts of charcoal and one part of firewood. They also made one hole on the top and three holes on the bottom.

Only this time a fan was added, and the three openings at the bottom were divided into one main opening and two auxiliary openings.

It is not good to open too many openings. Although it is conducive to air flow, it will accelerate the escape of heat.

Everyone took turns shaking the handle of the hand-cranked fan, and the charcoal in the kiln gained oxygen and burned brightly.

Even people who are not very experienced can clearly feel that the temperature in the kiln is higher than when burning wood.

Qing Kuo wiped his sweat and said to Jian Mo: "If it weren't for you, we might not have been able to discover in our lifetime that we can still burn charcoal."

Jian Mo was very modest: "That's not the case. Maybe this new technology will be passed on at some time. ."

Qing Kuo patted him on the shoulder and said nothing.

It was the first time to use charcoal to make pottery. We all had little experience, so we had to follow the previous method of using firewood and burn it for a day, from morning to evening.

The fire ceased in the evening, and Jian Mo could clearly see that the wet mud used to seal the kiln had sintered, and was faintly fired into the texture of pottery blocks.

It can be seen that the temperature in the pottery kiln is very high today.

Fortunately, the temperature was low in winter. When they got up the next day, the kiln had almost cooled down and the walls of the kiln were only warm to the touch.

Everyone couldn't wait to open the kiln.

The simplicity of a one-time cave dwelling is that all you need to do to open the kiln is to remove the walls.

The orcs and sub-orcs present were very strong and could complete this step in two or three strokes.

When he opened the kiln, there were pottery pieces scattered all over the place.

Among the fragments, pottery that is still intact or not so completely cracked exudes a layer of warm light, which is so bright that it almost dazzles the eyes in the morning sun.

Everyone's hands stopped, and many people opened their mouths involuntarily.

"This is too smooth." Zhou Fu's originally round eyes became even rounder, "Pottery clay can actually be burned like this."

As he said that, he reached out to touch the pottery piece, and when he touched it, he was burned The whole person shrank.

His friend Jiu Yin hurriedly grabbed his wrist: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhou Fu showed his intact hand, "It's just a little hot, hotter than a wood-fired pottery kiln."

Qing Kuo came back to his senses . , said to Jian Mo: "You are amazing."

Jian Mo waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not my credit, it's the technology we accumulated there."

Qing Kuo put his arm around his shoulders: "Thank you for bringing the technology to us Come to the tribe."

People around him echoed.

Jian Mo felt a little embarrassed listening to the compliments around him.

Ban Ming said from the side: "I also want to thank the clan leader for bringing brother Jian Mo back."

Dejiang smiled and said: "Thank you for meeting Jian Mo, right?"

Ban Ming smiled: "The tribe wants to thank me, but I don't My opinion, it would be better if you could give me some reward, such as this pottery... or ceramic shards."

He changed his words in time and avoided his father's palm.

After Qing Kuo beat his son, he turned to Wu Jiong and asked, "How should we divide the pottery?"

While talking, everyone had already counted the number of pottery.

There are 77 pieces of intact pottery in the kiln and 123 pieces of usable pottery. Most of them are small and medium-sized pottery.

Wu Jiong had an idea and said directly: "Each pottery maker will take two pieces, and the rest will go to the tribe. If you want pottery, you can exchange food or other supplies with the tribe."

Before he finished speaking, Ban Ming immediately raised his hand. Hand: "Chief, I want to change one! I'm going to get the animal skin right away."

Ye Luo: "I want to change more plates. I will change them after the person who made them has finished picking them. Just tell me how much materials you need."

Someone started , many interested people followed suit, rushing to change the pottery.

Wu Jiong directly asked the people involved in pottery making to pick first. After the selection was completed, those who wanted to change came over to change. Those who contributed more materials picked first until the selection was finished. On another level, the highest bidder got it.

The tribe does things fairly and everyone has no objections.

Wu Jiong's place was given to Jian Mo, and Jian Mo picked four pieces of pottery in total, including two jars, a pottery pot, and a pottery basin.

Except for the pottery basin, the remaining three pieces of pottery were all made by him. The surface is covered with a layer of reddish-brown delicate glaze, which is very in line with his aesthetics and wishes.

He took the pottery home, washed the two pots, put them outside to dry, and then transferred the fruit wine into the pots.

The fruit wine has been fermented for so long, and it already has a faint smell of wine.

Of course, the lingering fruity smell inside is still there.

Jian Mo hopes that it can produce more wine, and that it can also distill more high-quality liquor and even alcohol.

Wu Jiong watched him clean the pottery and put it away. He had no objection, but the shallow pot——

"What is this shallow pot used for?"

"You will know after I make it." Jian Mo was mysterious. , "I'm going to catch some big fish, will you come with me?"

The river outside is not frozen, so catching fish is not difficult.

Wu Jiong paused for a while and then agreed: "Catch a few more fish and give Jiujiu some extra food."

Jian Mo: "Okay, let's fry the fish for him."

It has been a while since he traveled to this world, and Jian Mo knows very well what kind of fish it is. Fish with more spines and fewer tastes better, which is just the opposite.

When they catch fish, they specially select delicious species to catch.

Wu Jiong reacts quickly and is the main force in catching fish.

The two of them grabbed a bucket in no time.

After catching the fish, Jian Mo picked out a few big and plump ones. He carefully packed the rest, applied seasonings on them, marinated them slightly and put them on the stone slab for frying.

When the fish is fried until golden brown on both sides and the bones are crispy, it can be used as a snack for the winged beast.

As for the big and plump fish, Jian Mo specially saved the tender fish belly, cut it into large pieces, and marinated it slightly.

Then, he put a large piece of animal oil in the shallow pottery pot, and then put the root and spices in it to fry.

As soon as the aroma came out, he immediately put the marinated large pieces of fish on the wooden root, then covered the lid and poured a circle of fruit wine on the lid.

The temperature in the pottery pot was very high, and as soon as the fruit wine was poured on it, a faint blue flame appeared.

Jian Mo didn't care and continued to burn the charcoal fire underneath.

Wu Jiong: "Won't the pottery pot crack like this?"

Jian Mo: "What's wrong with this? It didn't crack when it was fired in the kiln, and the probability of cracking now is quite small."

The fruit wine was slightly After evaporating, the aroma from the pot floated out and went straight into their noses.

Jian Mo took a deep breath: "Does it smell good? It's such a familiar scent."

After waiting for a while, Jian Mo carefully removed the pottery pot from the charcoal fire and then opened the lid.

As the steaming hot air hit his face, Wu Jiong stared closely at the fish in the pottery pot with an indescribable fragrance.

The water vapor dissipated slightly, revealing the white, smooth and tender fish meat.

It was the first time Wu Jiong saw fish meat in this state, as if it had just solidified.

Jian Mo greeted: "Quick, quick, take off the chopsticks while they're hot."

Wu Jiong picked up a piece, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.

The fish meat seemed to melt on the tip of his tongue. With a slight sip, it turned into a rich fragrance and entered his stomach.

It turns out that besides being fishy, ​​dry, and bitter, fish meat also has this kind of taste.

Jian Mo didn't notice Wu Jiong's expression.

He also took the second piece with satisfaction.

The fish baked in this clay pot is not much different from that in modern society.

So delicious.

Sure enough, we still need to develop technology.

Chapter 22 Beast Milk

Jian Mo clearly felt that Wu Jiong didn't hate fish so much after eating fish baked in pottery pot.

According to his observation, Wu Jiong not only does not hate fish, but also has a special preference for certain fish with less spines and tender meat.

After observing this phenomenon, he didn't say anything, he just increased the frequency of cooking fish.

Going out to catch fish on a cold day is not a wonderful thing.

Jian Mo didn't really want to move, nor did he want Wu Jiong to move, so he and Wu Jiong fumbled and made a few fish cages based on the fish cages on the earth.

The principle of the fish cage is relatively simple. Just leave a good entrance for the fish, and then set up many obstacles to make it difficult for the fish to get in and get out.

After weaving the fish cage, Jian Mo placed it in the river next to the tribe and went there to check it every morning.

He was lucky today. After taking out the fish cage, he harvested half a cage of fish and shrimp.

Although they are all varieties with relatively average taste, they are still a harvest.

Jian Mo carried the fish cage back and showed it to Wu Jiong: "Do you want to eat fish stew this morning?"

Wu Jiong glanced at it: "Eat meat pie."

Jian Mo: "Then I'll bake these fish and give it to my mother. The beast of burden needs to be replenished.

Wu Jiong said, "Don't give it to Jiujiu?"

Jian Mo was worried when he mentioned this: "It has eaten too much fish in the past few days, and it almost smells like fish. Stop it for two days and give it to the mother first." The beast needs to be replenished. I will try to squeeze some beast milk later, and give it something good to eat, just in time to bribe it. "

Jian Mo has been eyeing the beast milk for a long time, but it has always been the milk of the beast before. No matter what he did, he couldn't compete with the little beast for milk.

Now that the little beast's fur has grown, it has become chubby, and it can eat weeds on its own, it can be weaned.

He just wanted to try to see if he could squeeze some animal milk.

Raising a pack animal takes a lot of hard work, but if it weren't for the beast's milk, he really wouldn't have the energy to continue raising it.

He had already made up his mind that if the milk squeezed out did not taste good, he would trade the beasts to other tribes to stop the loss in time.

The offal fish for the beasts of burden is much simpler to handle. It only needs to be cleaned slightly and then placed on the edge of the stone slab to bake.

Jian Mo estimated that after baking it for a day, it would be completely crispy by the afternoon.

By then the thorns will be brittle and will not get stuck in the beast's throat.

While preparing to cook, Jian Mo remembered and asked, "Will there be people from other tribes coming today?"

Wu Jiong said, "People from the Bingjiang tribe should come."

In winter, everyone is free . There is nothing to do, and the cold cannot stop the restless young orcs and sub-orcs. Many of them will choose to visit other tribes.

The terrain of their riverside tribe is relatively high, and the other tribes are relatively far away. They were not originally a popular tribe to be visited.

But recently they have fired glazed pottery.

After the news spread, many people came to check it out and brought them various things in exchange.

Whenever other tribes come over, the open space of the riverside tribe becomes a small market. Anyone who wants to exchange can go to the open space to have a look.

Jian Mo has obtained a lot of good things in exchange recently.

Jian Mo heard that people from the Bingjiang tribe would come and said, "Then I'll go see if there's anything I can change after breakfast. The fabric the Dianxin tribe brought last time was really good. I don't know. How about the Bingjiang tribe?"

Wu Jiong thought for a while: "It seems that none of the people in their tribe are good at weaving, but maybe there are some from other tribes. You can go and see."

Jian Mo: "Okay, wait. I'll go take a look."

After breakfast, Jian Mo planned to squeeze the beast's milk.

Entering the animal shed, he stood next to the female beast of burden and made gestures for a long time, still not knowing how to proceed.

Although he is a veterinarian, he has never expressed animal milk himself.

Now that he suddenly wanted to attack, he was really afraid that the beast of burden would bite him or kick him.

The timid female beast had started to run into the corner and was trembling when he stared at her like this.

Even the little beast of burden on its back was huddled together and shaking regularly.

People and animals looked at each other with many eyes: ...

Jian Mo looked at them, paused for a while, then turned around and went out of the animal shed to look for Wu Jiong: "Wu Jiong, can you milk a cow? I can't."

Wu Jiong looked at it . Jian Mo, with a somewhat melancholy look in his eyes, turned around and walked towards the animal shed: "I haven't squeezed in yet, you can give it a try."

Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief and followed him: "Great, I really don't know how to start. "

The two walked to the animal shed, and Wu Jiong put the barrel under the beast's belly: "Catch it."

Jian Mo reached out and grabbed the female beast's horns, and then looked at the beast's back, which was huddled together . The trembling little beast: "I caught it. Wait, how about I take the little beast down?"

Wu Jiong: "No, they will be even more scared if I hold it down."

Jian Mo: "... It's really possible."

Wu Jiong tried to milk the female beast. The female beast remained motionless, and the whole process went smoothly.

The milky yellow milk was squeezed into the wooden barrel and soon covered the bottom of the barrel.

Jian Mo visually estimated that it was at least two thousand milliliters.

This milk production is really good, after all, the beast of burden is not a large beast.

Wu Jiong squeezed and stopped: "It's almost done."

Jian Mo rubbed his hands and said, "I'll get some fodder for the pack animal and bring it back to cook later."

For an unfamiliar milk source, It must be completely disinfected before entering.

Jian Mo didn't care whether it would destroy the nutrients in the beast's milk, so she poured the milk directly into a clean clay pot, put it on the fire and boiled it completely, and boiled it for a while before removing the milk.

After the animal milk is boiled, there is an extra layer of milk skin on top.

Jian Mo lowered his head and smelled it. It smelled quite mellow and slightly fishy, ​​but there was no strange smell.

It's time to drink!

He took a spoon, scooped out a small spoonful, blew it to cool down and carefully put it into his mouth.

Wu Jiong stared at his expression: "How is it?"

"Well, it's not bad." Jian Mo took out another spoon and handed it to Wu Jiong, with bright eyes, "Do you want to try it?"

Wu Jiong looked at it . The piggyback beast milk didn't seem to want to take the spoon.

Jian Mo put the spoon in front of him and shook it: "Try it. You taste the original flavor first. If it still tastes bad, I'll add some jam to you later."

He finally took the spoon and scooped out a small spoonful. Animal milk, blow it and taste it.

Jian Mo stared at him with sharp eyes, waiting for his evaluation.

He commented: "It's not bad to drink."

Jian Mo: "I understand. I'm not used to drinking it on empty. Come on, try adding some jam."

After adding jam to the pack animal milk, it becomes sour and sweet. Sweet drink, tastes very good.

The two of them each drank a bowl of milk from the beast of burden.

Jian Mo didn't waste the rest. He even carried the jar and shared it with the flying winged beast.

Milk is a good thing, and the Winged Beast shouldn't refuse it.

Sure enough, when Jian Mo carried the milk can to find the flying winged beast, the flying winged beast smelled the smell and "chirped" loudly. Its round eyes kept looking at Jian Mo's arms, and its eagerness was very obvious.

Jian Mo poured the beast's milk into its water bowl: "Try it and see if you like it?"

The flying wing beast rubbed Jian Mo with its big head, and then eagerly licked the beast's milk.

"Chirp!" The winged beast's eyes lit up and it made a happy sound, "Chirp!"

Jian Mo patted it gently: "You like it, don't you?"

The flying-winged beast didn't even raise its head: "Chirp!"

Jian Mo With a smile: "Then drink slowly, and I'll pour you some tomorrow."

After finishing the housework, Jian Mo went to the tribe's open space, planning to see what was available for exchange today.

People from the Bingjiang tribe have already come, and people from the Mengshui tribe are actually accompanying them.

Jian Mo walked around and found a lot of good things.

It's a pity that they only want to change to glazed pottery, and Jian Mo is reluctant to part with it.

Just when Jian Mo walked around and wanted to go home, someone from behind called him: "Doctor Jian Mo—"

He was only called doctor at hunting conferences. He should have known him from hunting conferences. people.

This thought flashed through Jian Mo's mind, and he turned to look at the person who came: "Call me?"

Several orcs came together. Seeing him turning around, the orcs looked a little excited. One of them, a curly-haired orc with a red face, The orc nodded: "Yes, Doctor Jian Mo, I heard that you like spices very much, so we brought spices here."

Jian Mo became interested: "What spices?"

The curly-haired orc said: "Jiao Rui!"

Jian Mo started He didn't understand, so he blinked in confusion and quickly determined that this was a spice he didn't recognize: "Can I have a look?"

"Of course." The curly-haired orc man generously took out a pack from the basket on his back. The spices wrapped tightly in dry leaves were handed to him.

He took it, but before he could get closer to smell it, he was so aroused by the rich and overbearing fragrance that he just wanted to sneeze. He pinched his nose for a while before he could hold it properly.

God, the taste of this pepper is so special! Jian Mo's eyes widened and his heartbeat accelerated.

The orcs around them laughed: "The pepper pistils are like this, very choking. Not everyone can bear it, but you might like it."

Jian Mo calmed down and gently opened the leaves.

There are long strips of brown spices inside the leaves. The spices are thin, just a little thicker than a hair. If you smell it carefully, it smells a bit like pepper. The overbearing and pungent spiciness brings back a little sweetness.

This is indeed the taste he likes.

He raised his head, pinched a stick of spice, and asked expectantly: "Can I try it?"

The curly-haired orc man nodded: "Of course! But it's very spicy, so be careful."

Jian Mo listened to the advice and slightly touched it with his nails . He scraped off a small piece and threw it into his mouth.

Instantly, the stimulating taste spread on the tip of his tongue. It was spicy, choking, and sweet, and the taste was layered and very rich. Although it was not the chili or pepper flavor he was familiar with, it was still very good.

This chili pistil is the perfect source of spiciness!

Jian Mo's eyes were filled with surprise, and his heart was beating fast.

He likes the taste of pepper and wants to change it! He

hoped that the other party would ask for a reasonable price.

He looked at the jiaorui, smiled, and praised conservatively: "It smells very good."

The curly-haired orc man was proud: "Of course, I picked them all one by one. It's the best stamen."

Jian Mo understood that this spice probably comes from some kind of flower.

Wu Jiong should know, he will ask later.

Jian Mo: "What do you want to exchange for?"

The curly-haired orc man's eyes were blazing: "Pottery, I want to exchange it for your smooth pottery! For this pack of pepper pistils, just give me a piece of pottery."

This pack of pepper pistils It weighs at least half a pound and can be replaced!

Jian Mo quickly made a decision: "Is the pottery plate okay?"

The curly-haired orc man said: "I have to see what kind of pottery plate it is first."

Jian Mo asked them to wait here and quickly went home to get the pottery plate.

There was an empty clay pot at home, but he wanted to keep it to hold wine and was reluctant to exchange it with anyone else.

If the pottery plate didn't work, he would think of another way.

Fortunately, the curly-haired orc liked this dark-brown glazed pottery plate very much, and he couldn't bear to let it go after getting it.

Both of them liked what the other brought and the exchange was successful. They were both afraid that the other would regret it and left the clearing in a hurry.

Jian Mo spent the whole day immersed in the good mood of being replaced by Jiao Rui.

He inquired with Qing Kuo and the others and found out that pepper pistil is indeed the stamen of a kind of flower.

This kind of flower is also available in their tribe, but it is difficult to find, and the yield of stamens is also small, so people don't collect it very much.

Zhou Fu said straightforwardly: "Before you came, everyone's barbecue was very unpalatable. It didn't make any difference whether there were spices or not."

Jian Mo: "That's not the case."

Zhou Fu: "Really, for a long time, we The barbecue only tastes salt and burnt, and no spices are used."

Jian Mo smiled: "It won't just taste salt now. Next spring, if the pepper flowers bloom, tell me. I need to collect more of this spice."

Zhou Fu agreed, "Don't worry, if you like it, we'll help you collect it together."

This handful of small pepper stamens was hard to come by.

Jian Mo decided to maximize its effect.

He thought for a day and came up with several ways to use it, the most suitable one of which was to make a sauce - a sauce like black pepper sauce!

In this era when seasonings are scarce, food with sauces doesn't taste the same.

Just right, now that the temperature is low, the sauce can be stored easily.

In the evening, Jian Mo saw that the female beast had milk again, so she tried to express it again.

He often takes care of the female beast, who is familiar with him and behaves very cooperatively.

He successfully squeezed most of the can of animal milk and carried it back to the house with great satisfaction.

When he went back, Wu Jiong happened to arrive home.

Seeing him come in with the animal milk, Wu Jiong asked: "Do you want to help?"

Jian Mo raised his head: "Yes, let's try to separate the cream, and I will make a good one."

Wu Jiong: "What?"

Jian Mo looked up and said expectantly: "Ji Rui Sauce! I changed to Jiao Rui Sauce today. I'll see if I can make it later!"

Black pepper sauce usually uses butter. There is no butter here. It comes from the milk of the Tuo Tuo Beast. Cream should be fine too.

As far as Jian Mo knows, there are several ways to separate cream.

The fastest way is to separate the fat and other ingredients by whipping.

If you are not in a hurry, you can also let it settle slowly. After a while, the cream will float to the top.

Jian Mo wanted cream now, so he first separated part of the cream by whipping it.

Wait for the milk harvested in the evening and tomorrow to settle again.

Wu Jiong was very cooperative with his experiment and agreed to start.

Jian Mo came first, whipping the beast's milk with a stick and showing Wu Jiong how to make it.

Whipping animal milk was tiring. After stirring for a while, Jian Mo felt that her arms began to feel sore.

Wu Jiong had already understood, took the stick in his hand, and continued to beat.

Wu Jiong's arms are very strong, with obvious and beautiful muscle lines.

Jian Mo stared at his arm with an envious look in his eyes.

Wu Jiong's eyes flashed and he stirred faster.

Under the relay stirring of the two people, the cream quickly floated out.

Jian Mo carefully scooped the cream into the earthenware pot and heated the earthenware pot to evaporate the water inside.

The cream turns light yellow and becomes butter, exuding a mellow aroma.

Jian Mo was afraid that it would burn if it was burned again, so she quickly put the pot aside, then took the pepper powder that had been ground in advance and carefully poured it into the pot.

Wu Jiong watched from the side and asked, "It smells so good."

Jian Mo slowly operated: "It will be more fragrant after being made into sauce. You will know when I make it. It tastes great when paired with meatloaf or fish steak. "

He has been craving black pepper sauce for a long time. There is no black pepper sauce here, and the taste of pepper sauce should not be much different.

After coming here for so long, he can finally live a happy life.

Chapter 23 Asking for help

Wu Jiong was watching Jian Mo's actions from the side. When he saw that he had fried the butter, pepper powder and shellfish powder, he did not continue. Instead, he moved the stone pot aside, took another stone pot, and fried the hair roots. Put the starch in and stir-fry, it seems a bit surprising.

Jian Mo looked up, saw Wu Jiong's expression, and knew what he was thinking, so he explained: "Just stir-fry the seasonings and it's not thick enough. It can only be regarded as juice, not a sauce, so we need to add hair root starch to increase the viscosity." "Du."

Wu Jiong nodded.

Jian Mo didn't know whether Wu Jiong understood it or didn't understand it at all, so she stopped asking, smiled, and continued to stir-fry the hairy root starch over low heat.

From time to time, he had to move the pot away from the fire to prevent it from burning.

Authentic sauce should be filled with fried flour. There is really no flour here, so we can only use starch to deal with it.

Anyway, there is no soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc. The ingredients are not all like this, and there is nothing to pay attention to.

The hairy root starch was slowly fried into yellow. Jian Mo poured it into the stone pot and stir-fried it with the previously fried pepper powder and butter.

The spices in the pot were bubbling, and when the aroma came up, Jian Mo poured the broth he had prepared in advance into it.

As soon as the broth was poured in, the aroma immediately came up. The pot was gurgling and the aroma was pungent, bringing a completely different kind of stimulation to the sense of smell.

After the pepper sauce is fried, the next step is the ordinary pan-fried pork chop.

Jian Mo skillfully placed the marinated pork chops on the stone slab and fried them, then flattened the roasted pork chops on the stone slab and slowly fried them.

When the steak is fried, Jian Mo cuts it, scoops a spoonful of chili pepper sauce and stir-fries it evenly, then puts it on a plate.

The remaining bark root was also put into the pot where the sauce was stir-fried before, stir-fried, and then served out.

Today's dinner is ready.

Jian Mo couldn't wait to give the large plate to Wu Jiong, and took a plate himself: "Try the taste of the pepper steak."

Without waiting for Wu Jiong to respond, Jian Mo picked up a piece of meat steak and stuffed it into his mouth. .

In an instant, the burnt aroma of the steak and the spicy aroma of the pepper sauce exploded in your mouth. It was fragrant, spicy, and hot. All kinds of flavors were intertwined together. It was rich and delicious, which formed a sharp contrast with the previous bland, dry and hard steaks. .

Jian Mo narrowed her eyes happily.

After how many days, he tasted spicy food again.

Jian Mo usually eats less at night, but not only did he eat less today, he also ate more than before.

After dinner, she had another glass of cool leaf drink. Jian Mo was so full that she just wanted to lie down and not move.

It's a great day.

Wu Jiong saw that he had finished eating and began to clean up the remaining food.

Judging from the speed of eating, Wu Jiong must also like this sauce.

Jian Mo said regretfully: "The pepper sauce tastes really good, but the quantity is a bit small. How long will it take for spring to begin?"

Wu Jiong silently calculated in his heart: "It may take one hundred, sixty or seventy days, if you like, We can go to the Bingjiang Tribe to change it, and it just so happens that the Bingjiang Tribe also has stone mills. "

They had wanted to make a stone mill before, but they couldn't find a suitable stone. They said they had to go to the Mengshui Tribe to change it, and they didn't have time to pick one.

Jian Mo agreed immediately: "The Bingjiang tribe also has stone mills?"

Wu Jiong: "Yes, they have a lot of stones and the stone mills they make are pretty good. You want to go, we'll ride the flying winged beast and come back in a day." Jian Mo: "

Then let's go tomorrow. I'll find some fabrics and see if I can exchange them for pepper cores."

Cloth is considered a hard currency among the orc tribes, so Jian Mo doesn't think it will be a big problem.

The fabrics on his hands were also collected from various sources. Some of the fabrics had textures and colors that he didn't like very much, so he just changed them out.

There is very little time for collective activities in winter, and they don't have to say hello to other people. They can just go out after taking care of things at home.

The flying winged beast has been eating and sleeping these days, and has been a little bored in the tribe. It finally managed to go out, and it kept happily "chirping, chirping, chirping" and flew to the Bingjiang tribe obediently without Wu Jiong and the others' instructions.

In winter, the winged beast's hair also grows, and it looks fluffy, and its body is even warmer.

When Jian Mo sat on it, it felt like sitting on a heated cushion.

In particular, it has gained some weight, its flesh is soft, and it is quite comfortable to sit on.

Jian Mo sat on it and fell asleep, and with Wu Jiong's strong and warm chest behind him and his hands on both sides to protect him firmly, he couldn't fall off even if he didn't have to firmly hold the winged beast's fur. .

So, not long after, he fell asleep.

When he woke up, they had arrived at the Bingjiang tribe.

"It's so fast today." Jian Mo wiped his face quietly. Fortunately, he didn't drool today, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.

Wu Jiong nodded: "Chiujiu flies faster."

The flying-winged beasts were very big, and the people from the Bingjiang tribe had already seen them coming.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were both celebrities. The patrolman knew them and asked them the purpose of their visit before letting them in.

Jian Mo looked at the Bingjiang tribe.

The terrain of the Bingjiang Tribe is also high. If the Riverside Tribe is located in the river valley, then the Bingjiang Tribe should be considered in the highlands.

Jian Mo thinks that by translating the orc language, the place where the Bingjiang tribe is located should be called "Bingjiang Ping", which means the flat land in the mountains.

Unlike other mountainous plains, there is a huge and deep canyon on one side of the Bingjiang tribe, with rivers flowing endlessly at the bottom of the canyon.

The leader of the Bingjiang tribe is called Gan Ying. Hearing that Wu Jiong and Jian Mo were coming, he came to greet them personally.

The leader is a large, flexible, middle-aged orc who speaks with enthusiasm.

I heard that they wanted to exchange for stone mills and pepper cores, so I immediately offered to take them to see the stone mills. As for the pepper cores, I had to ask who in the tribe still had the pepper cores, and I would trade with them after I asked.

Jian Mo had no objection, so they went to see the stone mill first.

There are large and small stones everywhere around the Bingjiang tribe, and Jian Mo estimates that these are also stones brought by glaciers.

There are many red thorn bushes growing beside the stone, and long thorns are densely covered on every branch.

Wu Jiong said that this is the peppercorn grass. In spring, they will bloom large orange-red translucent flowers on the branches, and the stamens are the peppercorns.

Jian Mo imagined it for a moment. It was hard to imagine how such thorns would bloom with beautiful flowers, and she couldn't help but feel magical in her heart.

Gan Ying showed them around: "There are good stone mills in our tribe. If you don't like it, you can go and look at the stone. We can make another one for you."

Wu Jiong: "Okay."

Gan Ying should know Wu Jiong's character didn't care about his lack of words, so he turned to look at Jian Mo: "Do you just want to exchange for stone mills and pepper cores? If there is anything else, I'll ask someone to find it together."

Jian Mo said with a smile . : "I just want to change to these two for now, nothing else."

Gan Ying said enthusiastically: "If you want to change in the future, you can also come to our tribe. At the hunting conference, many people from our tribe came to see you for medical treatment, and everyone Thank you very much."

Jian Mo said why the clan leader was so enthusiastic: "Everyone is so polite."

Gan Ying chatted with them all the way without being too cold.

They went to the place where the Bingjiang tribe made stone mills and quickly picked out a small stone mill they liked.

Small stone grinders are all similar, as long as they are easy to use, there is no need to choose one in particular.

After picking them, Zhang Ying took them back to the open space of the Bingjiang Tribe with the stone mills on their shoulders, and exchanged the pepper pistils with the people from the Bingjiang Tribe.

The people of the Bingjiang tribe are very fair and don't ask for too much fabric.

Jian Mo replaced all the fabrics he had brought and harvested a large bag of pepper stamens, at least two or three kilograms, which made his eyes crinkle with joy.

Gan Ying was very happy to see him happy, and invited them to go home to sit and have something to eat, just in time to chat with Wu Jiong about the two tribes.

Wu Jiong and Jian Mo didn't have any objections. They were being treated warmly and couldn't just turn around and leave.

That would be too rude.

Just as the three of them were talking and walking towards Gan Ying's house, Jian Mo suddenly heard someone behind him calling him breathlessly.

He thought it was someone from the Bingjiang tribe. When he looked back, he saw a giant beast with red hair and three tails that looked like a fox and a weasel calling them from behind.

The Bingjiang tribe is a single-race tribe, and their beasts look like bears.

This is obviously not an orc from the Bingjiang Tribe, but—an orc from the Hongxiu Tribe?

Jian Mo was not sure and stood there waiting for the giant beast to come over.

The giant beast ran up to them in two or two steps. He said hello to Zhang Ying in a hoarse voice, and then called Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo, my son is sick. He just went to the Riverside Tribe to look for you. If you are not here, I will I'm chasing you here."

When he heard that the little guy was sick, Jian Mo immediately asked: "Little orc or little sub-orc, what's the disease?"

The giant beast: "Little orc, there's a big abscess on his back. After a few days, we applied medicine and the abscess became smaller. Unexpectedly, I suddenly had a fever this morning and it was so hot that I hurried to find you."

Jian Mo looked behind him.

The giant beast gasped: "I was afraid of the bumpy road, so I left him at the Riverside Tribe without bringing him here. Qing Kuo from the Riverside Tribe and my partner are watching."

Qing Kuo has always been reliable, and Jian Mo heard that Qing Kuo Hearing Kuo's name, he was relieved for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Jiong.

Wu Jiong didn't seem too anxious, so Jian Mo felt more relieved.

Jian Mo wanted to go back and have a look. He wanted to see Gan Ying.

Gan Ying immediately said: "It's important, little one. You go and see the little one first. We'll talk next time."

Jian Mo apologized and said, "Then we have to leave first. If you have time, come to the Riverside Tribe to play. We'll entertain you then." "

Zhang Ying waved: "Go back quickly. If not, you can leave the stone mill here and I will send it to you later."

"Yes. Chao Ganying nodded in thanks and said to the giant beast, "You go back to the riverside tribe first. We will ride on the flying winged beast, which should be faster than you."

The giant beast turned around and ran away without any trace of ink.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong sat on the back of the flying winged beast with Shi Mo and Jiao Rui.

The small stone mill was not too heavy, and the Winged Beast carried it easily.

Jian Mo communicated with the flying winged beast and said that he should go back quickly. The flying speed of the flying winged beast was a little faster than when they came.

In terms of straight-line distance, the advantage of flying back from the air was too great. When they returned to the tribe, the red beast had not returned yet.

On the other hand, Ban Ming was arranged by Qing Kuo to come out to greet them: "Brother Jian Mo, clan leader, my father and the others are at your house. You go back quickly. I will tie up the flying-winged beast."

Jian Mo was not polite to him: "Then Let's go back first."

The two hurried home.

Qing Kuo was waiting for them under the eaves with a sub-orc.

The sub-orc man held a small red beast in his arms. Perhaps because of the fever, the beast's fur was wet, and its three furry tails hung down feebly.

The little guy's eyes were closed tightly at this time, and he was panting. The situation didn't look good. As soon as he saw Jian Mo, the sub- orc

man shouted anxiously: "Doctor Jian Mo! You are finally back!"

Jian Mo immediately stepped forward: "Let me check the little guy's condition first. Where is the abscess?"

He gently adjusted the position of the little beast in his arms and showed Jian Mo: "On the back."

The little beast's back looked quite flat, the abscesses did not pop up very much, and it didn't look too serious.

Jian Mo touched it lightly. But I can feel that there is a large hard lump under the skin.

His heart skipped a beat. Such a large area of ​​​​tumor was almost certainly infected.

It could be bacteremia or sepsis.

If the bacteremia is mild, the little beast can still survive.

Multi-species bacteremia or sepsis may be accompanied by organ failure and have a certain risk of death.

Things are a bit troublesome.

Jian Mo immediately said: "Take him in first, let me take a look."

The sub-orc man looked at his solemn expression and nodded in panic.

After careful inspection, Jian Mo said: "I have to cut open the abscess on his back and clean out the pus and blood inside. But this process is a bit risky. I'm not sure that the little guy will get better after treatment. ."

The orc man's face turned pale: "What should I do?"

Jian Mo: "If we don't cut out the pus and blood, the little guy will probably die."

The orc man: "Then. , then -"

Jian Mo looked into his eyes: "So now let me tell you, if you want to treat it, I will try my best to let the little guy survive, but there is no guarantee that after the treatment, if the little guy will Death, you can't trouble me, you can't say that I cured him."

After a pause, Jian Mo continued: "If you don't want to cut open the pus, you can take the little guy back and give him herbal soup. But I can't guarantee the effect."

The orc murmured, "I definitely can't cause trouble for you. How can I still cause trouble for you? You've already helped treat Taiyan."

Jian Mo nodded and looked at Wu Jiong.

Wu Jiong realized what he wanted to say and said seriously: "Just treat it, you won't be in trouble."

Jian Mo nodded with confidence.

Although he wanted to save the little guy, he didn't want to cause serious trouble to himself and the tribe.

Jian Mo found a mattress and ordered the little orc to be placed on it.

He first asked Qing Kuo to fetch ice water and come back to wipe the little beast down to cool it down.

There is no thermometer now, so Jian Mo doesn't know how high the temperature of the little animal's fever is, but it is definitely a dangerous value and needs to be dealt with first.

While Qingkuo went to fetch water, he started to light a fire to boil medical equipment and prepare salt water.

During this period, the little guy's father, the red giant beast, arrived.

The sub-orc man relayed Jian Mo's words to his partner. After listening to the red giant beast, he also promised that no matter how effective the treatment was, he would never cause trouble to Jian Mo and the others.

Jian Mo quickly prepared medical equipment. He asked the others to leave, leaving only Wu Jiong in the room to help hold down the little orc.

If someone without a medical background suddenly sees the scene of incision and drainage, it will be very irritating.

Wu Jiong is used to being an assistant, so it doesn't matter.

The little orc had fallen into a coma and was motionless.

Jian Mo looked at the animal form of the little orc and felt as if he had returned to modern society to perform surgery on animals.

He was very familiar with this. As soon as the operation began, he was immersed in it and concentrated on dealing with the lesions.

The surgery is not difficult, it is a delicate job.

Jian Mo quickly completed the operation, and the pus, blood, tissue, etc. that were finally cleaned out covered less than half of the basin, which looked shocking.

After Jian Mo bandaged the little orc, he went out and said to the two fathers of the little orc: "The operation has been completed, and the next step is to see how the healing goes. Otherwise, why don't you leave the little orc with me to take care of you for two days? What's the matter? I can deal with the situation in time. "

There is no concept of hospitalization here, but the little orc's condition is more serious and he has just undergone surgery, so it is not suitable for him to travel a long distance with his parents and return to his original tribe.

When the two fathers heard what Jian Mo said, they had no objection at all.

The little orc's father said gratefully: "Dr. Jian Mo, thanks to you, otherwise Taiyan would be in danger."

Jian Mo said honestly: "We are not completely out of danger now."

The little orc's father said: "It's better than It's better when you're not dealing with it."

That's true.

Jian Mo looked at Wu Jiong and said, "You guys also want to take a rest first? I'll call you if anything happens."

Wu Jiong said, "I'll make arrangements."

Wu Jiong took the couple to make arrangements.

Jian Mo went back to take care of the little orcs and dispose of medical equipment and waste. He would cook and burn what was needed. He would find ways to replenish the parts that were used up.

The physique of the orcs and sub-orcs was indeed good. By evening, the little orcs had gone away from their fever and woke up. However, the wounds hurt and they kept moaning and crying.

Jian Mo felt so sad when she saw Mao Duanzi lying on the animal skin mattress with tears streaming down her face, she stroked his head and comforted him.

In the evening, Jian Mo specially made stem broth for the little guy.

The meat was blanched and the stems were processed very cleanly. The stewed broth was delicious and clear, and the stems were dense. The little orc grunted and ate three large bowls.

His appetite is okay, further indicating that his condition is relatively good.

Jian Mo was slightly relieved.

His two fathers came to see him and were relieved to see that his condition was much better.

Jian Mo said that he would be under observation for two more days. Now that the fever has subsided and he is awake, the problem should not be serious.

The little orc had just undergone surgery, and was covered with medicinal herbs. He also drank anti-inflammatory and detoxifying medicinal soup morning and night. Jian Mo was worried about him going back, so she asked Wu Jiong for permission to leave him at home to take care of him.

His two fathers went back first and came over to see them during the day.

The two fathers of the little orc were very grateful and went back first. The next day they brought ten rolls of cloth and two large baskets of various stems and pieces to pay for the medical expenses.

Jian Mo felt that it wouldn't be that much, so he returned three rolls of cloth and asked the little orc to stay at home for a few more days.

In addition to facilitating care, he also wanted to observe more of the little orcs and gain experience.

The little orc's wound didn't heal well and it hurt when he moved. He couldn't change back to his human form for the time being.

However, as the situation improved, he became active again and ran around the house dragging three big furry tails every day.

The little orc can also talk when he is in his beast form. He chatters and chatters, which makes the Wujiong family lively.

At night, the little orc had fallen asleep on the mattress.

After Jian Mo tucked him in, he walked to his mattress and lay down tiredly.

Wu Jiong said to him, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jian Mo said, "Fortunately, you have worked hard too. It will probably take two more days of observation before the little guy can be sent back in two days."

He didn't know that Wu Jiong was This kind of orc doesn't like to talk very much. I feel a little sorry if it will annoy children who talk a lot.

Wu Jiong: "It doesn't matter, it's important that the little guy gets better."

Jian Mo was very tired and couldn't fully regain his energy the next day.

The little guy is different. After a day of recuperation, he has become lively and can run out to play with the little guys in the tribe.

The little guys in the tribe are very friendly and don't mind bringing this strange kid along.

Jian Mo saw them playing together and told the little one to be careful about his wounds and not to run around or do strenuous activities. He also asked the older children to help keep an eye on them.

The little guys all responded.

When the little guy's two fathers came over during the day, they were even more relieved to see that the little orc had regained its vitality.

Jian Mo saw that they had to walk a long way to come here every day, so she told them that the little guy's condition was a little more stable, so he could come here every other day.

There are basically no problems now, except that changing the dressing is troublesome, so I have to stay here for two more days.

The two fathers gratefully agreed.

With the situation of Jian Mo and Wu Jiong, it is not difficult for the family to take care of one more little guy.

But on this day, the kitten Banjiu came over and complained with his eyes widened: "Jian Mo, brother, fight, it's starting to fight, meow."

Jian Mo was shocked: "Who is fighting with whom?"

The kitten just learned He didn't speak smoothly, and he started meowing when he got anxious: "Meow, Taiyan and the others are chirping, meowing, meow."

Jian Mo reacted: "Flying-winged beast?"

The kitten's mind was thinking rapidly.

Jian Mo was really anxious. The winged beast was so big. If it fought with the little guys, the little guys would probably be injured.

He bent down and picked up the kitten: "Let's go take a look!"

The kitten said: "Okay, meow."

Jian Mo went out to the back of the house and took a look. Fortunately, the little guys didn't really fight with the flying winged beast.

Ban Ming was standing next to him, unable to fight.

Jian Mo was relieved: "What's going on?"

Ban Ming said in a loud voice: "The little guys were playing nearby, and Jiujiu was disturbed, so he attacked them. As soon as the little guys were disturbed, he also attacked them, and the two sides started to quarrel. "Yeah."

Jian Mo looked at the flying winged beast.

The Winged Beast probably realized that he was in trouble. He squatted on the ground with his head hanging down. He covered his head with his claws and looked down, with the whites of his eyes exposed. He didn't dare to look at Jian Mo.

Jian Mo looked at the little guys again. One by one, the little guys turned their eyes away and did not dare to look at him.

Jian Mo was so angry and funny, what is this?

Jiang Xing complained in a low voice: "Chiu Jiu is so fierce. It hurt us first, and we couldn't help but quarreled."

He Feng: "That's right! Jiu Jiu even scared Ban Jiu and Tai Yan to death."

He was being hugged by Jian Mo. The kitten in his arms: "Hey."

Ban Ming said with a smile: "Chirp has a strong sense of territory. If a bird lands nearby, it will find a way to drive it away. The little guys are so noisy, don't blame it."

Jiang Xing was not convinced, wrinkled his nose and shouted: "Brother Ban Ming, which side are you from?!!!"

Ban Ming: "Which side makes sense, I will stand on."

The little guys all looked at Ban Ming angrily, Even Ban Jiu, the kitten in Jian Mo's arms, stared at him: "Meow!"

Jiang Xing said, "It's not convenient to go to other places in Taiyan, so we just played nearby. Jiu Jiu was too overbearing. Jiu Jiu turned to Jian Mo. Brother Mo was so good when he was young, but he was so cruel to us!"

The flying winged beast lowered his head: "Hey."

The little guys and the flying winged beast looked at Jian Mo, waiting for him to seek justice.

Jian Mo looked at these big black and white eyes and felt a headache for the first time.

The Winged Beast is very accomplished and hard-working, and the little ones also help with the work. They are all very well-behaved on his side.

Jian Mo looked here and then there, feeling that it might be a little difficult to carry water this time. After a pause, Jian Mo asked, "I was milking just now and was about to make popsicles. Do you want some popsicles?"

The little guys and the winged beasts all opened their eyes wide, their attention instantly diverted.

Ban Ming didn't realize he was an adult at all, and spoke enthusiastically first: "Eat! What are popsicles?"

Chapter 24: Covering one 's ears and stealing

the bell Jian Mo heard Ban Ming's words and sighed helplessly: "You don't even know what popsicles are, how can you eat them?"

Ban Ming said confidently: "I don't know, but what you made is also There's nothing bad about it. Tell me, what are popsicles? "

No." Jian Mo thought for a while, but didn't think of how to explain it, and simply said, "I'll make it now." But we can't eat it now. We have to eat until evening."

Ban Ming didn't mind at all: "As long as the food is delicious, we can wait." A group of children added fur dumplings at his feet and said

, "We can wait!"

If they wanted to help, Jian Mo was not polite and directly ordered them to break some non-poisonous wooden sticks, peel off the bark and wash them clean.

He went back to the house, boiled the milk of the beast of burden that he had saved over the past two days, and then boiled the root of the beast. He cut the boiled root of the beast into small pieces, added the milk of the beast of burden and jam and mashed it into a paste. .

There was a wooden tube for drinking water at home. Jian Moquan found it. After cleaning it, he applied a layer of animal oil on the wall of the tube, filled it with fruit puree, and inserted a wooden stick.

Jian Mo looked at the wooden tube at hand: "There are not enough wooden tubes. Which one of you has more? Borrow it."

Hefeng immediately raised his hand: "Brother Jian Mo, I have many at home, I will go get it now."

A group of children followed him . Behind him, he ran to get the wooden tube.

Jian Mo counted the number of children and made a few more tubes.

He filled the remaining puree into small bowls and made eight bowls in one go.

He took the prepared puree and put it in the snow, covered it with clean dry leaves, and said to the children: "It should be ready to eat in the evening. Just watch it and don't let anyone come and cause trouble. "

The children and the little ones who couldn't transform yet all puffed up their chests and took on the task with serious expressions: "Okay!"

Jian Mo went home to do things, and the children were watching outside.

In fact, there is no need to watch, no one in the tribe will cause trouble.

However, give the children something to do and they won't be chirping in your ears.

The children supervise each other and keep looking at the popsicles in the wooden tube.

Jian Mo said it had to be frozen until it was as hard as ice before it could be eaten.

They kept pressing it with wooden sticks to check whether the puree was frozen.

By the afternoon, every piece of puree was finally frozen hard. The children couldn't wait to run over to Jian Mo: "Brother Jian Mo - the popsicles are ready! Can they be eaten?!"

Jian Mo put down his hands and was talking. Sewn clothes: "I'll go take a look."

The children gathered around Jian Mo: "We just saw it, it's really frozen."

Jian Mo smiled: "Okay. Banjiu, go and ask your brother to come over and eat together." Popsicle."

Kitten: "Meow! I'm going!"

The kitten ran away with four paws, and Jian Mo took the children to see the popsicle.

Sure enough, the popsicles were almost frozen. The few tubes were not too frozen, but they were still edible.

Jian Mo took the popsicles home, held the sticks and took out the popsicles one by one from the wooden tube, and then distributed them to the children: "This is the popsicle. You can't eat the sticks."

As for the little guy who can't transform yet, Jian Mo put it on a plate for them and let them lick it.

The little guys are very skinny and usually eat cold food. This little ice should not have any impact on them.

The children nodded with bright eyes and couldn't wait to start tasting.

Soon, they were captivated by the sweet and sour popsicles, with a solid and creamy texture and a rich milky flavor.

Popsicles are not only delicious, but also fun. They crunch when biting into them, which is completely different from other foods.

The children were eating popsicles and looked at Jian Mo with admiration: "Brother Jian Mo, these popsicles are so delicious."

Jian Mo smiled and said, "Really?"

The children held up the popsicles and licked them aside. leave.

Wherever Jian Mo goes, they follow.

Ban Ming came quickly. When he saw the popsicle, he said, "No wonder it's called popsicle. You can only eat it with a stick, right?"

Jian Mo: "It's almost the same. It looks like a stick. Eat it quickly. It will melt later." "

Ban Ming: "Eat, eat, let me try it. Hey, it tastes really good. Is there a particularly big popsicle here?"

Jian Mo disagreed: "This wooden tube is really big. "Come on, I'm going to feed the flying winged beast."

Jian Mo took off the frozen popsicles in the bowl and fed them to the flying winged beast.

The other little ones followed him.

Even though they had just had a quarrel, now they had food, and the children and the winged beast could coexist peacefully again.

In other words, both sides were busy eating, and no one had time to pay attention to the other.

Jian Mo poured the popsicles into the winged beast's food bowl.

The popsicles given to Winged Beast do not have sticks, making it easier for him to bite or lick them.

When the flying-winged beast saw Jian Mo sharing food with it, its nose stretched out to distinguish the smell in the air.

It soon discovered that the food it got was the same as the food that the children got, and everyone was treated fairly, so it flapped its wings: "Chirp, chirp

, chirp!" Jian Mo saw it excited, fearing that it would gobble it up again, so she flapped it Its legs: "Eat slowly, it will be gone after you finish it."

Winged Beast: "Chirp!"

Winged Beast sat on the ground, holding the food bowl with its two front paws, and slowly licked the popsicles.

Jian Mo took this time to clean its nest and replace it with new hay.

It has snowed again in the past two days, and the original hay in its nest is a bit damp. It will be more comfortable to replace it with new ones.

The children followed and talked around Jian Mo: "Brother Jian Mo, will you still make popsicles tomorrow?"

Jian Mo: "There are not so many materials, so we can't do it often."

The children immediately said: "We can Go home and get the materials."

Jian Mo turned around and smiled: "You don't have many Muding roots at home." We

are all from the same tribe, so we probably know each other's family.

In winter, the frequency of people going out to hunt or gather is greatly reduced. It is true that no one has too many delicious ingredients -

the delicious ingredients are often eaten first. Can't stay now.

When the children heard what he said, they ate delicious popsicles and their expressions became depressed.

Such delicious food, it's a pity that it's gone after eating.

At this moment, no one noticed that the Winged Beast's eyes flashed above his head.

After Jian Mo finished cooking the winged beast's nest, he took the children back.

He checked Taiyan's wounds.

The little orc's recovery ability is very strong. Except for the fact that the shaved hair around the wound will not grow back for the time being, the wound is almost healed.

Jian Mo cleaned his wound, removed as much pus as possible, applied new herbs, and told the children: "If you feel uncomfortable in any way, come to me quickly. If you delay for a long time, the problem may become serious. "

The children said in unison: "I know-"

It was getting late, so Jian Mo asked the children to go back.

Wu Jiong also came back at this time.

Jian Mo gave him the biggest popsicle, which attracted envious looks from the children.

Wu Jiong very calmly put the popsicle into his mouth, took a bite and started eating.

The children looked at it eagerly for a while, and after making sure that the popsicle would not be taken out again, they went back.

Taiyan's injury was almost healed, and Jian Mo judged that it would be okay for him to go back, so he planned to let him go back tomorrow when his two fathers came to see him.

Unexpectedly, at dawn the next day, Dejiang hurriedly ran over to report: "The flying-winged beast has flown!"

Jian Mo had just been woken up by the shout, and he was still asleep. Hearing this sentence, he couldn't react at the moment. Lai: "What does flying mean?"

Dejiang: "It means flying away. Just now when we were patrolling, we saw the flying winged beast flapping its wings and flying through the sky. We thought it was you who went out early in the morning. Looking at the flying winged beast from behind, There was no one on the beast's back, so I realized that it had run away on its own."

Jian Mo didn't expect the flying wing beast to run away, so he was stunned for a moment before saying, "I'll go take a look."

They rushed to the back of the house and found that the flying wing beast was no longer there. That, only the long rope with fresh bite marks remained in place.

Jian Mo looked at Wu Jiong, feeling mixed emotions in her heart and not knowing what to say.

The tribe originally tied several ropes to the winged beast, but the ropes were shortened so that the winged beast couldn't bite the rope and naturally couldn't run away.

Behind it, Jian Mo felt that the winged beast was not comfortable like this, so he took off the other ropes, leaving only a long rope tied to its hind legs.

Now that the Winged Beast has escaped, he has to be blamed.

Wu Jiong and Jian Mo looked at each other and comforted him: "You were the one who rescued the flying winged beast, so it doesn't matter if it gets lost in your hands. It happens that there is not enough food in winter, so the pressure on us to feed it will not be so great if it runs away."

When Dejiang heard this from the side, he looked up at Wu Jiong and said nothing.

Listening to his obviously biased words, Jian Mo felt a little touched and a little frustrated: "I still have to look for it. I don't know why it ran away?"

Maybe the flying-winged beast still prefers freedom, right? If it were him, he would probably run too.

Thinking of this, Jian Mo became even more frustrated.

After hurriedly eating breakfast and entrusting Taiyan to Qingkuo's care, Wu Jiong turned into a giant wolf and set off to find the flying winged beast with Jian Mo on his back.

Other members of the tribe who had nothing to do also came out to help search.

The winged beast flew away without leaving much of a smell.

Even though the giant wolf had a keen sense of smell and had sufficient hunting experience, they still could not find any trace of the flying winged beast.

They wandered around outside for a day and found nothing. As the sky slowly turned dark, they had no choice but to head back into the tribe.

Jian Mo lay weakly on the giant wolf: "What's this? I thought Jiujiu liked eating my cooking so much that he wouldn't come running around."

The giant wolf turned back and rubbed him to show comfort.

Jian Mo received it, hugged the giant wolf's huge mouth tube, and walked back.

Even though Jian Mo knew that Wu Jiong in animal form was still Wu Jiong, she would still change her behavior pattern involuntarily every time when facing him in animal form.

Giant wolves look too much like big dogs.

As the sky gradually darkened, they slowly walked outside the tribe.

Before they could go back, Ban Ming came up to him with a meow in his animal form: "Brother Jian Mo, clan leader, there is no need to look for it, the flying winged beast is back! The flying winged beast just flew back, meow!!" !"

Jian Mo sat up straight: "Really?"

Ban Ming: "Really, it's holding a bunch of wooden roots! You can't see how proud it is! Everyone said that it was imitating us when we went out to collect, haha!"

Jian Mo felt incredible: "How could it suddenly go out to collect-"

In the middle of the sentence, Jian Mo suddenly stopped.

Ban Ming flicked his tail: "You also remembered, right? Yesterday we said that there are not many wood root roots and we can't make popsicles often. The flying-winged beast must have understood it and went out to collect it today."

Jian Mo: " Is it actually so smart? "

The Winged Beast's IQ has always been very high. To describe it, Jian Mo thinks it should have the IQ of a Bian Mu. It might be a little bit dumber than a Bian Mu, but not too different.

Because he knew that the wood root was insufficient, he went out to pick the wood root. The process from making a decision to implementing it was so complicated that Jian Mo could not imagine that it had such power.

Ban Ming expressed his understanding: "How normal. Jiujiu likes to eat so much. Every time you mention food, his ears perk up. Because he wants to eat popsicles, he goes to pick wood sticks and other things. My brother and the others also do the same. ."

Jian Mo immediately became alert: "Banjiu and the others didn't run away, did they?"

Ban Ming grinned, showing his pointed beast teeth, and said gloatingly: "My brother and the others were reminded by the flying wing beast, but they want to come.My dad saw through his plan, gave him a good spanking, and now he's at home sulking and licking his fur.

Jian Mo sighed, turned to Wu Jiong, and said, "You should remind everyone to keep an eye on their own kids, otherwise..." I'm afraid there will be copycat crimes soon."

The giant wolf's deep voice said: "Okay."

Jian Mo and the others went to see the flying winged beast.

The flying-winged beast still held the large bunch of wooden roots in its mouth and refused to let others take it away.

As soon as it saw Jian Mo, it immediately raised its head and chest, sat upright, holding the wooden root in its mouth and mumbled: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

Jian Mo had a complicated mood: "Thank you for your hard work."

The flying-winged beast held the wooden root in its mouth . Put it in front of Jian Mo: "Chirp!"

Jian Mo looked at the big head of the flying winged beast that came over to take credit, stretched out his hand and patted it gently: "I know, chirping is really powerful."

The flying winged beast praised Jian Mo very much. Taking advantage of it, he flapped his wings and stirred up a gust of wind: "Chirp!"

Jian Mo smiled.

The winged beast belatedly discovered that Jian Mo didn't seem too happy. He turned his round head and looked around. The people around him didn't seem to want to praise it.

The big guy who was good at observing people's words followed everyone's gaze and quickly saw the rope on the ground.

It instantly felt guilty, moved to the side, sat down on the break, and covered the rope with its huge body: "Hey."

Jian Mo's mood became even more complicated.

You guys are so smart, you should know that it's useless to hide your ears and steal the bell, right?

Chapter 25: Getting Nectar

Jian Mo came back, and the others went back.

Jian Mo squatted in front of the flying-winged beast and educated it with a straight face: "You can't do this next time. If you want to go out, you have to tell me first. Sneaking out is not something a child should do."

The flying-winged beast squatted down dejectedly. Staying where I am, I occasionally uttered "嘘" without daring to refute.

Jian Mo educated its big furry head for a while, making sure that it had really learned its lesson, then stood up and planned to cook first.

The winged beast raised his head and looked at him cautiously, revealing half of the whites of his eyes, looking guilty and pitiful.

Then, it dragged over the wooden roots harvested today, placed it in front of Jian Mo, and then nudged Jian Mo with its big head.

This guy had just been criticized, so he kept his mouth shut and refused to speak out, but his meaning was obvious - he wanted to give Mu Dinggen to Jian Mo.

Seeing that Jian Mo did not take Mu Dinggen immediately, it became anxious, nudged Jian Mo again, and whispered: "Chirp."

As a veterinarian, Jian Mo often heard people say that their pets brought prey back. Example, but this is the first time I have experienced it personally.

He couldn't keep his face any longer, so he had no choice but to stroke the winged beast's furry head again, and he and Wu Jiong picked up the wooden root and went home.

For dinner, Jian Mo steamed two large stone pots of wood root, took them out and mashed them, added milk and fried minced meat, mixed them well, and gave the flying wing beast a large bucket.

The winged beast became happy again and kept chirping. Its voice changed high and low, just like singing. It kept wagging its tail and trying to use its big head to humiliate Jian Mo. It seemed that it had no memory of Jian Mo criticizing it. .

Jian Mo was no longer angry. He stretched out his hand to touch the big head of the winged beast and comforted himself: People say that giving a stick to a sweet date means that education should be criticized and coaxed. He just criticized this guy. Now it's time to coax it.

After interacting with the flying wing beast, Jian Mo seemed a little absent-minded after returning to the house, and even stumbled when entering the house.

Wu Jiong looked like he had eyes on the back of his head, and he supported him in time: "What's wrong? Isn't Jiujiu back?"

Jian Mo: "It's just because it's back that it makes people sad. It's so good, and we still tie it up." Jian Mo stood up straight and said, "

I'm wondering if you can stop tying it and let it roam freely? It considers the tribe a home, so it shouldn't run away."

Before Wu Jiong could answer, Jian Mo said again: "I know there are a lot of children running around in the tribe. But Jiujiu is gentle and smart. If you teach it well, it shouldn't get close to the children. The winged beast is not a ferocious beast in the first place, and it is difficult to cause any harm to the children. "

Wu Jiong: "I'll ask the others early tomorrow morning."

Jian Mo thought for a while: "If it doesn't work in the tribe, we can try to raise it outside to prevent it from getting close to the tribe, and nothing will happen. It's risky. Since it is so smart and it only cares about us as its companions, it would be too cruel to keep it tied up.

"Don't worry, I'll discuss it with the others tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we'll find a solution later,"

Wu Jiong said . As soon as he did it, he went to discuss it with other members of the tribe early the next morning.

The tribe finally agreed that Jiujiu could be free-range, but he could not leave the vicinity of their home.

If the winged beast runs out, the patrolling orcs will tie it back to prevent it from causing any harm to the children in the tribe.

This is as it should be, and Jian Mo has no objection.

It is a joy to see winged beasts free-range.

When Jian Mo went to feed it in the morning, he loosened its leash and told it the good news.

The winged beast tilted its head: "Chirp?"

Jian Mo patted it: "In short, it can only move around the home. It is not allowed to go outside the tribe, and it is not allowed to bully the children, you know?"

The flying wing beast: "Chirp!"

Jian Mo: "Do you understand this?"

No matter what Jian Mo said, it would chirp loudly next to it.

Jian Mo lost his temper after being tweeted, so he had to say: "Okay, you get used to it first, and I will teach you slowly."

The flying-winged beast itself didn't like to move much, and when winter came, it didn't like to move even more.

Even if Jian Mo and the others untied the rope, it wouldn't run around.

After a few days, this guy seemed to suddenly understand that Jian Mo and the others were not going to tie him up anymore.

This morning, when Jian Mo was feeding it, its eyes were particularly bright, and it kept chirping in high and low pitches. It also pulled Jian Mo with its paws and pushed him with its head.

Jian Mo was so shaken that she couldn't understand why this guy was so happy?

After a while, Jian Mo suddenly realized that Jiujiu probably didn't want to hump him, but wanted to carry him on his back. It was just that he was not skilled at the job and had been busy for a long time without success.

Stupid tweet.

After reacting, Jian Mo went to Wu Jiong to tell the news: "Jiujiu seems to want to take me somewhere."

Wu Jiong: "I'll go over and have a look."

When they passed by, the flying winged beast suddenly raised its big head. , looked at them expectantly: "Chirp, chirp."

Jian Mo gestured for it to lie down.

The flying-winged beast understood, and he happily lay down on the ground. He turned around and motioned for Jian Mo and the others to climb onto its back: "Tweet!"

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong put the reins on it and sat on its back.

After sitting firmly, Jian Mo patted its neck, indicating that it could fly.

The flying-winged beast immediately stood up, took a few steps, and flapped its wings to fly.

Neither Jian Mo nor Wu Jiong controlled the direction of the flying winged beast.

The flying-winged beast circled in the air a few times, as if it understood what they meant. After shouting a few times happily, it flew in a certain direction.

Jian Mo watched for a while and couldn't tell where the flying winged beast wanted to go.

It was winter now, and the boundless snow completely covered the withered yellow earth, making the wilderness white and extremely clean.

There seemed to be nothing down there, not even the beasts.

He turned around and asked Wu Jiong: "Where does it want to take us?"

Wu Jiong looked at the direction of the flying winged beast and judged: "Maybe it is the mountain behind the green marsh source, the one next door to where we are picking noodle fruits."

Jane Mo was confused: "There seems to be nothing over there now, right? Could it be that Chiujiu wants to go there and catch fish to eat?" When

the flying-winged beast heard Jian Mo and the others mention its name, it loudly said: "Chiujiu!"

Wu Jiong had a smile on his face. Meaning: "I guess not, maybe he's looking for something else."

Jian Mo couldn't guess what the winged beast was looking for at all.

The Winged Beast flew for a long time, and they finally arrived at their destination before Jian Mo's face was blown numb.

The temperature in the valley below is relatively high, and you can occasionally see some branches under the snow.

Just when Jian Mo was about to ask what was underneath, the flying-winged beasts had already landed on the ground. Before he could put them down, he stretched out his two front paws and pulled them onto the snow, shouting twice happily: "Chirp!"

Jian Mo said . Don't look around.

After the snow was pulled away, there were actually pink and white flowers underneath.

Most of the flowers are long tube-shaped, with tiny petals opening at the top of the tube. They look a bit similar to the flower shape of Lingxiao flower, but this flower has larger flower tubes and smaller petals.

The flying-winged beast turned to Jian Mo and Wu Jiong: "Chirp!"

After calling, it turned back, lay down on the ground, opened its big mouth and gnawed off a series of flowers, put them in its mouth and chewed them.

It grinned, its eyes were bright, and looked very happy: "Chirp."

Jian Mo got off it and understood a little: "Is this flower particularly delicious?"

Wu Jiong picked a half-opened flower and handed it to him: "It's not that the flowers are delicious, it's that there's nectar underneath. The nectar is delicious."

Jian Mo was very unfamiliar with the word "honey" in the orc language. She blinked and thought for a moment before she figured out what it was.

Wu Jiong removed the bottom of the flower, sucked it, and said to Jian Mo, "That's all you need to eat."

Jian Mo imitated Wu Jiong's example and sucked the flower.

In an instant, the sweet nectar was sucked into his mouth, and his entire mouth was filled with the sweet taste of nectar.

This was the first time he had tasted such a sweet taste since he came here.

The sweet substances he obtained from other sources all have a sour or bitter taste, but this nectar is sweet!

Delicious indeed.

Jian Mo sniffed: "This nectar tastes so good, why don't you come out to collect it?"

Wu Jiong: "It's too far, and eating too much of this nectar will make you drunk."

Jian Mo: "Will you get drunk?!"

Wu Jiong : Nodding: "It's just like drinking too much fruit wine. If you eat too much, you'll get drunk."

Jian Mo turned to look at the winged beast who was happily eating flowers: "Then don't worry about it?"

Wu Jiong: " Everyone knows that eating too much of this flower will make you drunk."

Jian Mo expressed doubts about this: "Do you think Jiujiu looks reliable?"

Wu Jiong turned around to see the flying winged beast chewing on the flower. His movements have slowed down, he squints his eyes and chews slowly.

Wu Jiong: "...It is particularly unsuspecting."

The flying-winged beast ate too many flowers and was already a little drunk.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong refused to let it eat more and pushed it aside to rest.

Jian Mo ate a few and felt a little dizzy. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we can't eat any more. Let's pick some back."

Wu Jiong: "Pick them back to eat?"

Jian Mo thought for a while: "Pick them back and mix them with water. " Soak the nectar inside and concentrate it to see if you can get a thicker honey water.

Wu Jiong didn't expect it to be like this before. Hearing this, he said, "Let's try it."

The two picked the flowers and put them in the basket. inside.

They don't want to eat the flowers, but the nectar inside, so it's okay to pick them and squeeze them tightly into a basket.

They picked for a day, and in the evening, the flying-winged beast finally regained consciousness.

The two tied two large baskets of flowers to the Winged Beast and rode the Winged Beast back.

The winged beast couldn't fly as fast as before, but it was in a good mood and chirped all the way.

Jian Mo knew before that he might be a chatterbox, but now he experienced the power of the chatterbox for the first time, and his whole body was a little dizzy from being called by it.

Jian Mo leaned on Wu Jiong and whispered: "You have to train it next time so that it doesn't bark."

Wu Jiong: "It ate too many flowers today and was quite excited. I usually pat it and it stops barking ." "

This is true, usually the flying winged beast is very obedient.

It was too excited today. Jane Mo patted it and it would be quiet for a while, but after a while it couldn't help but start chirping again.

Jian Mo guessed that it was not only excited because it had eaten too many flowers, but also that it was very happy to share this edible flower with them.

In this case, Jian Mo couldn't restrain it anymore and could only endure it.

They returned to the tribe, and the winged beast went back to its den to rest.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong took out the flowers and processed them quickly while they were still fresh.

They put the flowers into large wooden pots, removed the bottom, and soaked the nectar out.

After soaking again and again, the water in the basin quickly turned brown, exuding a sweet honey aroma and a light wine smell.

Jian Mo lit a fire, put the nectar water on the fire and slowly boiled it.

After the honey water boils, the alcohol and water are slowly evaporated, and the water inside becomes more and more viscous. As it cooks, it emits a charming aroma.

Before going to bed, the honey water became more viscous and even had the texture of maltose.

This looks like pure syrup.

Jian Mo couldn't help but made three cups of honey tea, one for him, one for Wu Jiong, and one for Winged Beast.

Having something sweet before going to bed may not be healthy, but it really fills you with happiness.

Because she drank honey tea, which may have residual alcohol in it, Jian Mo slept particularly soundly that night.

So a loud noise in the middle of the night frightened him so much that he sat up suddenly, his heart pounding.

"What happened?" Jian Mo waited for a few seconds before remembering where he was, and asked Wu Jiong in a hoarse voice, "Did it thunder?"

Wu Jiong came over to help him tuck the quilt in: "No, it's snowing heavily outside. "Maybe something was crushed. It's okay."

Jian Mo: "Is it a tree?"

Wu Jiong: "I'll go out and take a look."

Jian Mo tried to climb out of the bed: "I'll go too.

" Jiong pushed him back hard and said, "It's snowing heavily outside. It's cold and slippery. It's not safe. You can continue to sleep. I'll just go and take a look."

Jian Mo moved uneasily. He rarely saw Wu Jiong like this. On the one hand, he didn't know what was going on outside, which made him a little panicked.

Wu Jiong patted him across the animal skin quilt: "Go to sleep quickly. I'll transform into an animal and go out. Nothing will happen."

Jian Mo: "Okay, call me if you need anything."

Wu Jiong nodded and left quickly.

After a while, Jian Mo's heart was still pounding and he could not calm down.

He lay alone in the darkness, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The weather was extremely cold today. He moved a little, and all the heat in the bed was gone. His feet were as cold as iron, and he couldn't sleep anymore.

He didn't know how long it had passed, but he heard movement below and shouted, "Wu Jiong?"

"It's me." Wu Jiong's deep voice sounded.

Jian Mo instantly felt extra safe and breathed a sigh of relief: "You're back? How is it outside? What happened?"

Wu Jiong: "Two families' houses collapsed."

Jian Mo immediately asked: "Is everyone okay? Wu Jiong: "

It's nothing serious. The two orcs were slightly injured and have been taken care of. I'll ask them to check with you tomorrow."

Jian Mo responded, "Okay."

Not long after, Wu Jiong walked downstairs . Come up, holding a charcoal basin in your hand.

The charcoal fire ignited, giving off an orange-red fire.

He put down something in his hand, and then placed the charcoal basin.

Jian Mo looked carefully and found out after a while that there were two stones under the charcoal basin.

Wu Jiong walked to the window and moved the bark window open a crack: "Go to sleep."

Jian Mo felt that the temperature in the house had risen slightly, but she still couldn't fall asleep. She couldn't help but wonder: "The house is so easily covered by heavy snow." Did it collapse?"

Wu Jiong: "The two collapsed houses are the homes of single orcs."

Jian Mo didn't quite understand: "Huh?"

Wu Jiong explained: "The parents of both families have gone out to travel. No one cares about it, and they haven't repaired the house. A few days ago, the feet of their house were soaked by melted snow, and today the roof collapsed when the heavy snow came."

Jian Mo didn't know what to say when he heard this. .

Wu Jiong whispered: "Go to sleep, it's almost dawn."

Jian Mo responded in a low voice and prepared to sleep.

It was so cold that Jian Mo's feet couldn't warm up for a long time, and he couldn't sleep even after tossing and turning.

When Wu Jiong heard the noise, he moved the charcoal basin, transformed into a giant wolf, and slept next to him.

Jian Mo felt a little uncomfortable.

Wu Jiong whispered: "In winter, everyone will turn into beasts and sleep together, otherwise it will be too cold. This is our old tradition."

Jian Mo relaxed a little and said, "Yeah."

Uncomfortable is uncomfortable, It's really comfortable to sleep next to the giant wolf.

Jian Mo fell asleep quickly next to the hot giant wolf, and got up late the next day.

It snowed all night and continued to snow the next day.

The snow was as deep as their thighs, and they had nothing to do. After feeding the beasts of burden and winged beasts, and lighting charcoal basins for them, the two took out the animal skins and washed them.

The orcs are accustomed to taking out the animal skins after fresh snowfall and patting them in the snow to clean off the grease and dirt and make them drier.

Jian Mo had heard that mink fur was washed in snow in the north, but he didn't expect that the orcs also had this tradition. It felt very friendly for a while.

While they were cleaning the hides, Ban Ming and several orcs dragged an orc over to them.

The orcs pulled and pulled, and the orc being pulled had a reluctant expression on his face.

Jian Mo had a question mark on his face.

Ban Ming greeted him warmly: "Brother Jian Mo."

Jian Mo stood up straight: "What's wrong?"

The orcs were all talking:

"Ahu's house collapsed last night."

"He slept in his beast form, but he didn't expect the house It collapsed, not only hitting his head, but also crushing his butt. " "The clan leader

asked him to come to you during the day, but he was too embarrassed to come, so we brought him here."

He is a tall and thin young man with amber-colored eyes and fair skin.

At this time, he became angry and his face turned red: "Whose butt has blossomed?!"

Ban Ming: "You! Didn't you have a few holes in your butt?"

Ahu reached out and patted Ban Ming's head: "No!"

Ban Ming didn't mind at all and pulled him along with the other orcs: "Oh, we all saw it. What are you embarrassed about?"

A Hu was very embarrassed and refused to come over: "No."

Ban Ming: "Are you embarrassed to show it to the orcs? Don't be coy. Brother Jian Mo is a doctor. So many orc warriors were treated by him at the hunting conference. You are not special."

Ah Hu's face almost burned. "Their injuries are not on their buttocks!!!"

Ban Ming pulled him away with a smirk: "There are also injuries on the thighs. Besides, if you don't let Brother Jian Mo see it now, you won't have to wait until the injury becomes serious. Come to him? By then you will probably be in too much pain to care about the orcs." The orcs around him

added: "Ah Hu is in terrible pain. He even cried when he lost his teeth when he was a child."

He understood and said considerately: "If the human form is not convenient, you can transform into the animal form for me to see."

Ahu nodded, turned around with red ears, and turned into a long, tiger-like cat. The big fur cat looks a bit like an enlarged version of the orange cat.

What Jian Mo didn't expect was that the first thing he did when he transformed into his animal form was to chase and beat his friends in his animal form.

The orcs couldn't bear the beating from the big cat, so they quickly transformed into their beast form and fled away.

Then, Jian Mo saw a big orange cat using cat fist to beat up a group of big cats and dogs.

The angry big orange cat won an overwhelming victory and beat a group of big cats and dogs until they howled.

Quite cute.

Chapter 26: Honey Bird

Orcs rarely transform into beasts and fight in front of sub-orcs. They seem to feel that they are not very powerful.

Today is also a coincidence.

When they came back to their senses after the fight, they felt a little embarrassed.

A Hu put his paws on the ground and walked back slowly. His ears turned into airplanes and he pressed back. He looked down and said in a loud voice: "Brother Jian Mo."

Jian Mo nodded: "Turn around and let me take a look."

A Hu added I was embarrassed, but I turned around obediently, with my tail between my legs, letting Jian Mo see my butt.

Jian Mo was very calm. There was a big cat's butt in front of him. As a normal homo sapiens, it was difficult for him to have any special thoughts.

There were a few blood spots on Ah Hu's buttocks, which were all red, swollen and inflamed.

After Jian Mo checked, he found that there were some debris wrapped in his wound.

The orc's physique is very good. The skin of the injury he suffered last night has now healed, but the debris was wrapped in it and was not cleaned out, so it became infected and inflamed.

Jian Mo pressed it, and the big cat under his hand obviously felt pain, and its tail became stiff.

Jian Mo asked: "Did you quickly change back to human form after being injured last night?"

Ah Hu hissed and breathed: "Meow, it's easier to change into human form."

Jian Mo: "Then when you change into human form, insert The thing on the wound——"

Ah Hu: "The human body is small, and the thing in the wound will fall out if it cannot be inserted."

Jian Mo finished the inspection and said to him: "It didn't fall out completely. Some of it is wrapped in the flesh. Now. You have to use a needle to pick it out, or it will be wrapped in it and it will hurt when you press it, and it will easily become inflamed."

A Hu's tail stiffened again: "Okay, Brother Jian Mo, just watch and do it."

Jian Mo saw him . No objection: "Then I'll prepare the bone needles. You wait in the yard for

a moment. You want to continue to maintain the beast form, right?" Ahu nodded his head as a cat. He was determined not to bare his buttocks in front of Jian Mo.

The other orcs were too lazy to change back to their human form, so they just watched the excitement in their animal form.

As soon as Jian Mo turned around, he saw a bunch of furry heads watching from behind: "I won't give you treatment. You go outside and wait."

Ban Ming refused to give up: "Brother Jian Mo, if A Hu struggles, we can help you press the button. " Hold him."

Jian Mo: "Wu Jiong can hold him down for me, you don't need to, and A Hu won't struggle hard."

A Hu turned his back to Jian Mo and said dullly, "

No matter what Ban Ming does . Despite his excuses, Jian Mo still drove out the group of orcs who were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

After chasing everyone away, Jian Mo took out the boiled and sterilized bone needles and began to pick out the debris from A Hu's butt meat.

There is a lot of snow outside, and the light is not bad, but my eyes are a bit blurry after looking at it for a long time.

Jian Mo picked for a while, and his eyes became red.

However, his hands were very steady and the process of picking out the debris went smoothly.

After picking it out, Jian Mo asked A Hu: "Is there any discomfort left?"

A Hu muffled: "No more. When you didn't pick it for me just now, the inside of the flesh was a little itchy, but it's not itchy now." Jian Mo asked A Hu

. Mo listened to what he said and checked again. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he went to the backyard to pick fresh herbs, squeezed them into a concoction, and applied it to the wound.

The young big cat was too embarrassed to raise his head.

Seeing him like this, Jian Mo washed his hands and came out and gave him a large piece of dried fish: "That's it. If you still feel uncomfortable, come to me in time."

Ahu sniffed the fish and hesitated. After a while, he thanked me, took the fish pieces in his mouth, and ran away quickly.

The orcs were driven out, but they were still outside.

When I saw Ah Hu going out with fish pieces in his mouth, he screamed "oow" and "meow", and you ran away after me.

After a while, Ah Hu came back with a basket of things, saying it was a thank you gift for Jian Mo.

Before Jian Mo could refuse, he put down his things and ran away.

Jian Mo looked at his leaving figure and said, "He ran too fast."

Wu Jiong said, "I'm afraid you'd give the thing back to him."

Jian Mo said, "No."

Jian Mo looked at it and Ahu picked it up. Most of the baskets are filled with stem pieces.

In addition to the stem pieces, there are three fist-sized eggs underneath.

This surprised Jian Mo. It was so cold and there were not many opportunities to get eggs.

Wu Jiong walked over and took a look: "It should be an egg picked up in early autumn or summer."

Jian Mo: "So long? Is it broken?"

Wu Jiong picked it up, shook it by his ear, and smelled it again He smelled it and replied: "No, but it's not very fresh anymore. You need to eat it as soon as possible."

Jian Mo really hadn't eaten eggs for a while. He took the eggs back and planned to make an omelette or steamed eggs at night.

When he returned to the fire pit, he saw the syrup that had just been boiled, and changed his mind again. He looked around with bright eyes and asked Wu Jiong in a loud voice: "Wu Jiong, do you want to eat ice cream?"

Wu Jiong frowned: "It's similar to popsicles. Food?"

Jian Mo gestured and described it to him: "It's a bit different. It's all ice, but the popsicles are hard and the ice cream is soft. I personally think the ice cream is much better."

Jian Mo saw it last time. Wu Jiong really likes popsicles. He finished a large popsicle in two or three times.

Wu Jiong nodded without hesitation before he finished speaking: "Eat."

Jian Mo: "Then I'll take out the cream and let's try making it."

Making ice cream is also quite simple, just add egg yolks, cream, syrup, and Heat the milk over water, stir it evenly, take it out and freeze it, freeze it a little, bring it back and stir it, stir in enough air and freeze it again, you can make ice cream.

The ice cream is delicious, but it takes a lot of effort.

Jian Mo simply called several Ban Mings over and asked them to stir up trouble.

The orcs were idle and had no objection at all.

Ban Ming said while stirring: "Brother Jian Mo, you know a lot of things."

Jian Mo said casually: "That's right, we have studied for many years."

Ban Ming was curious: "How many years is many years?"

Jian Mo didn't calculate. After a moment: "Nineteen years."

Several orcs heard what Jian Mo said and took a breath: "You're lying, right?"

Jian Mo: "I really didn't lie to you. When I was learning something, I still If you don't do anything else, you can rest for at most three months a year, and spend the rest of the time studying."

Ban Ming stirred and said after hearing this: "I said you must be a priest, only those from particularly large tribes. A priest needs to learn so much."

Jian Mo shook his head: "I am a doctor."

The ice cream needs to be frozen after a while.

In this world with underdeveloped productivity, ice cream can only be made on snowy days.

Jian Mo specially asked them to make more for everyone to share, so the production time was also very long.

The last time I made popsicles, many people in the tribe had never seen them.

Now I heard that ice cream is being made, and people who are familiar with Jian Mo have come to watch.

When the ice cream is ready, Jian Mo distributes small ice cream balls to her friends.

There aren't many portions, but you can try them all.

As soon as everyone tasted it, they were instantly captivated by the smooth, cool and sweet taste.

Ban Ming helped stir the ingredients, which made his arms sore. Now that he tasted it again, he felt that the soreness in his arms was worth it: "The ice cream is so delicious, it's even better than popsicles!"

Jian Mo said in a small voice The wood chip scraped the ice cream: "That's because there's syrup in it."

Ban Ming: "Is it the syrup made from pink tube flowers?"

Jian Mo: "Yes, but unfortunately the sugar content in it is not very high. Two big baskets There are not many pink tube flowers in total."

Ban Ming said immediately: "Then let's go pick the pink tube flowers before! We will go there tomorrow too

. We picked all the ones we could, but now they are gone."

Ban Ming asked, "Are they not available elsewhere?"

Jian Mo said, "Wu Jiong said that there are no patches of pink tube flowers anywhere else.

" Interjected nonchalantly: "Not necessarily, there should be one in the Upper South Canyon. I saw it in the summer."

Ban Ming was surprised: "Have you ever been to such a far place in the summer?"

Ye Luo didn't even raise his eyes: " If you run there, you'll be there in half a day, not too far away. "

Jian Mo didn't know where the Shangnan Canyon was and looked at Wu Jiong.

Wu Jiong whispered: "By the river where we meet the Dianxin tribe."

That's really far away!

Jian Mo looked at Ye Luo, who had long hands and feet, in amazement, with admiration in her eyes.

Ye Luo and Qing Kuo are children. The difference is that this sub-orc with a clouded leopard-like bloodline has always been single. He usually likes to act alone outside the tribe. He is alert and careful, and knows many things that ordinary people don't know.

He also told the tribe about Mianguo Lake last time.

If others told her, Jian Mo and the others would have to inquire more.

Ye Luo said that there are pink-tubed flowers in the Upper South Canyon, so they must be there.

Jian Mo immediately said: "Let's go and have a look tomorrow."

Ye Luo suggested: "You can ride the flying winged beast. Don't bring a backpack, but bring a few more bags. You can pick pink tube flowers and put them back directly in bags. How heavy."

Jian Mo nodded: "Okay!"

Ye Luo said again: "I have some empty bags and I will bring them to you later. You can return them to me when you use them."

Jian Mo was not polite to him. " Okay, we just need it."

Ban Ming ate the ice cream and said regretfully: "It's too far to go up to the South Canyon, and the snow is deep now, so it's not convenient. Otherwise, I would go pick it up with you."

Jian Mo. She didn't really want to take these noisy orcs with her, so she said, "You can wait until the weather gets better before going out."

Honey sources are so rare that Jane doesn't want to miss them.

Even though it was snowing the next day, Jian Mo still pulled Wu Jiong out.

This time they wore hats, gloves, animal skin coats and animal skin boots, covering their entire bodies.

Despite this, it was still cold when flying in the air.

Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong: "Now I understand why you said that Ahu and the others should squeeze in with the other orcs. It's really impossible to work in this weather."

Wu Jiong: "Is it still cold?"

Jian Mo sniffed: "I can bear it. The wind is too strong above. I think it will be better when we wait in the river valley."

Among the two beasts, Jian Mo was the colder one. Both the Winged Beast and Wu Jiong adapted well to this environment.

When they got to the back, Wu Jiong was afraid that he would get sick, so he had to unfold his animal skin coat and wrap him up in his arms.

Jian Mo felt that this was a bit strange, but he also thought that the environment might be too harsh and there were many things that he couldn't pay attention to, so he put the matter behind him.

After arriving at the Upper South Canyon, there were cliffs on both sides to block the wind, and Jian Mo felt much warmer.

There isn't even much ice or snow at the bottom of the canyon, it may have all melted.

They looked around and saw that the entire canyon was filled with pink-white pink-tubed flowers.

The flowers smell of wine and sweetness, and the air carries an intoxicating aroma.

In addition to them, there are many insects flying around on the flowers, as if collecting nectar.

Jian Mo looked at these buzzing insects and asked in surprise: "Are there bees here?"

Wu Jiong looked at the insects: "What are bees?"

Jian Mo: "They are insects that eat pollen and nectar. It will take the pollen and nectar back to the nest to brew sweeter honey and store it."

Wu Jiong shook his head after hearing this: "No, these insects only eat honey, and they won't bring it back specifically."

Jian Mo muttered. Really? I just said that I haven't heard anything about honey in all this time?"

Wu Jiong: "There is no such thing as bees, but there is a kind of honey bird that takes honey back and hides it."

Jian Mo couldn't wait to ask. Birds? "

Wu Jiong: "Yes. They will swallow the honey and spit it out in the nest. They will use the honey cubes to build the nest and use the honey cubes as food for the chicks when they hatch. "Wu Jiong: "Yes. Jiong

added: "Honeys are very rare and small. Except when we see them occasionally, we can't find their nests."

Jian Mo's eyes lit up and he was about to say something.

The flying-winged beast that was grabbing a pink tube flower and eating it suddenly started chirping softly.

They both turned their heads together.

Jian Mo was surprised: "Isn't it? Do you understand this too?"

The flying-winged beast grabbed the pink tube flower and looked forward, continuing to whisper: "Chirp, chirp."

Jian Mo followed its line of sight and looked over, but didn't see anything. arrive.

Wu Jiong suddenly said: "Look down, do you see that white color?"

Jian Mo: "What?"

Wu Jiong stared at the front intently: "There seems to be a honey bird in front. Maybe there is no food in winter, and they will come too. The pink tube flowers gather nectar here."

Jian Mo looked at it in surprise for a while before he saw a white bird with a long beak among the pink and white flowers: "It's true."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Chapter 27 Abandoned Nest

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong squatted among the flowers, looking patiently at the honey bird in front of them.

The honeybird did not notice them and flew leisurely among the flowers. From time to time, it would extend its long beak into the pink-tube flowers and drink the thick nectar inside.

It changes from flower to flower and doesn't look like it's going away any time soon.

After observing for a while, Jian Mo discovered that the honey bird was not as small as he thought.

Called a bird, this honeybird is as big as a pigeon.

Jian Mo guessed that Wu Jiong and the others' beasts were too big, which made Honey Bird look extra small, so they were named Honey Bird.

Jian Mo asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go back to the nest with the honey?"

Wu Jiong said, "Yes, honey cubes are a good thing. Let's see if we can harvest some."

Jian Mo turned around and looked around.

Wu Jiong gently pressed his shoulder: "What are you looking for?"

Jian Mo lowered his voice: "See if there are any other honey sparrows around."

Wu Jiong: "No, just this one. Maybe it just discovered this piece of pink Guan Hua."

Jian Mo: "Then we will go back with it later? Can we keep up with it?"

Wu Jiong nodded: "It's not a big problem."

Jian Mo looked envious.

The eyesight of orcs and sub-orcs is indeed extraordinary. If he only had such a honey bird, he was really not sure he could follow it.

The honey bird didn't know that someone nearby was staring at it. After slowly eating its fill of honey, it flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

When it flew far away, with Jian Mo's eyesight, he could only see a small black dot. Wu Jiong then asked Jian Mo to sit on the back of the flying winged beast and follow the honey bird at a distance on the flying winged beast.

Normally, the flying winged beast always goes on a rampage, but today, under Wu Jiong's suppression, it flew quietly, keeping a stable distance from the honey bird, neither disturbing the honey bird nor losing it.

Jian Mo didn't expect it to be able to do this, and was quite surprised for a moment.

The honey bird flew higher and higher, just like a small balloon rising into the sky.

The flying winged beast also flew higher and higher.

It was getting colder at high altitude, the air gradually became thinner, and the winged beast began to huff and puff.

Wu Jiong stood firmly behind Jian Mo to protect him and observed his condition: "Are you okay?"

Jian Mo felt a little uncomfortable in his chest, but he could still bear it: "It's okay. Where is the honey bird going to fly to?"

Wu Jiong stared at him . Looking ahead: "I'm not sure, we basically couldn't see the nest of the honey bird before."

Fortunately, the honey bird stopped rising when it reached a certain height, but flew straight ahead.

Jian Mo looked at the snow-capped mountains standing on the horizon and felt blessed: "Is it going to fly to the snow-capped mountains?"

Wu Jiong observed the front: "It's possible."

The honey bird was surprisingly able to fly, and they followed it, flying almost to noon. The honey bird flew straight to one of the rolling snow-capped mountains.

Jian Mo looked down from high altitude.

There are no plants in the upper part of the snow-capped mountains, only some dry thorns dotted here and there on the ground.

Some hairy, bovine-like creatures slowly munched on the grass.

Maybe orcs rarely go to such high places to hunt. They don't face many threats and are particularly leisurely.

After flying for a while, Jian Mo suddenly saw a small brown spot on the cliff.

He looked forward with wide eyes and couldn't help shouting in a low voice: "The nest! I seem to have seen the nest of the honey bird."

Wu Jiong: "I saw it too."

Jian Mo: "There are so many!"

In Gao Gao On the cliffs, densely packed bird's nests are stuck to the rocks. Looking around, there are at least hundreds of nests, maybe almost a thousand.

If they hadn't been flying close, they would never have imagined that there was actually a large group of honey sparrows living on the cliff on the dark side of the snowy peak.

The little creature that lives on flowers has made its home in the most desolate and remote place!

The honeybirds in front have returned to their nests, and from this distance, they can already hear a melodious chirping sound.

It's the honeybird calling.

Jian Mo stared ahead: "I didn't expect it to place its nest in a place like this."

Wu Jiong: "It's so high here that ordinary birds can't fly up, and insects can't survive in this environment."

Jian Mo reacted. : "Yes! Honey is fatally attractive to bugs. If they place their nests in a warm place, they will definitely be disturbed by bugs."

Sure enough, every creature has its own survival wisdom.

However, if honeybirds didn't feed on honey, and the energy in their food is extremely high, they probably wouldn't be able to fly here.

Survival of the fittest is the same everywhere.

Wu Jiong directed the flying-winged beast to stop on a flat ground, protected Jian Mo as he walked down, stared into the flying-winged beast's eyes and said to it, "Wait for us here."

The flying-winged beast squatted in the position of a hen, He firmly protected his four claws under his body and whispered: "Chirp, chirp."

This was understood.

Wu Jiong carried a basket on his back and took Jian Mo's hand: "Let's go."

The wind on the mountain was strong, and a lot of snow on the ground was blown away, making it thin.

Jian Mo stepped down and could directly step on the hard rock below.

The rocks were a bit slippery, and the rocks underneath were unstable. They would easily shake when you stepped on them, and you could easily sprain your feet if you were not careful. Fortunately, Wu Jiong held him tightly, so there was no danger along the way.

Jian Mo gasped softly and said, "The environment here is too bad. No wonder the animals living here don't need to be vigilant."

Wu Jiong looked back and said, "Let's come up and take a look when we have time."

They walked forward for a while. , and soon arrived at the place where the honeybirds built their nests.

The honey sparrows discovered them and flew towards them like raindrops, trying to peck them: "Chirp! Chirp!"

Jian Mo quickly protected his face with his hands, but he couldn't help being pecked by the honey sparrows on his hair and back. For the embarrassment.

Wu Jiong protected Jian Mo and roared at the honey sparrows.

The roar of the wolf echoed in the mountains. The honey sparrows paused in the air for a moment, and then attacked more fiercely: "Chirp!!!"

Wu Jiong stood in front of Jian Mo and suddenly transformed into a giant wolf, stretching out his claws. Go take a picture: "Roar--"

The huge roar directly formed a sound wave. Many honeybirds tilted in the air. They were frightened by the giant wolf. They flapping their wings and turned around and fled high into the sky.

In just the blink of an eye, the surrounding honeybirds dispersed and not a single one was gone.

Jian Mo lay under the wolf's belly and watched all this with wide eyes.

The honey sparrows were so decisive. These little guys gave up when they wanted to, but no honey sparrows came to attack them again.

The giant wolf turned his head, took Jian Mo's collar and threw it gently on his back: "Let's go over and take a look."

Jian Mo hugged him tightly: "Okay."

The giant wolf started running in the mountains.

It's so high here and the air is so thin, but it seems to have no effect on the giant wolf.

Jian Mo looked back and saw that the cow-like creatures that were moving halfway up the mountain and at the top of the mountain turned into small black dots.

But now it seems that if the giant wolves want to go hunting in the mountains, there will probably be no problem.

They quickly ran to the edge of the cliff.

Honeybirds build their nests on these bare hills.

She didn't realize it when she looked at it from a distance. As they got closer, Jian Mo realized that the place was densely packed with bird's nests everywhere. It was so dense that it was numbing.

It can be seen from the color of the nests that the honeybirds have built nests here for a long time. Some of the nests are still light white and as clean as new, while others are already black and have been eroded by wind and rain.

The honeybirds may not have returned for various reasons, and the nest is abandoned here.

The giant wolf ran to the edge of the cliff and put him down, turned around and turned into a human, then put on the animal robe: "Let's go collect honey."

Jian Mo nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Wu Jiong pulled Jian Mo to the nearest bird's nest. edge.

A honeybird's nest is a bit like a swallow's nest. It's made up of pieces of objects stuck on the stone wall to make a semicircular nest.

Its nest is lined with hay, and there are shiny light yellow sugar cubes on the hay.

That's what they brew, storing the sugar cubes that they intend to eat slowly and feed to the birds.

Standing next to the bird's nest, Jian Mo could smell the sweet smell of sugar cubes.

So tempting.

For Jian Mo now, these shiny candy bars are more attractive than yellow gems.

Wu Jiong rummaged through the bird's nest and grabbed four candies out of the thirteen candies: "Let's take a little from each nest and keep the rest for them. Don't take it all."

Jian Mo nodded: "Will they come back?"

Wu Jiong: "Yes, building a nest is not easy. As long as the nest is not destroyed, they will come back."

Jian Mo was relieved.

They went to the nests one by one and took about one-third of the sugar from each nest.

The temperature here is so low that the candy cubes freeze hard.

The candy cubes were put into the basket, and soon half of the basket was collected.

Jian Mo sniffed. Although it was so cold here that he almost caught a cold, he was really happy.

This is all sugar!

He had tried so hard before to boil only a little bit of sugar water, but these were concentrated sugar cubes!

Very good!

They visited the bird's nests one by one and soon came to an abandoned bird's nest.

Jian Mo's eyes narrowed: "This bird's nest -"

Wu Jiong also looked at it: "It seems to be made of honey blocks."

Jian Mo: "Really? It looks like it to me."

He stretched out his hand and knocked lightly. He touched the bird's nest and scratched it with his fingernail: "Really, it's actually made of honey!"

Wu Jiong confirmed after knocking: "It is indeed."

Jian Mo opened his mouth wide and turned to look at the mountain of waste. Bird's Nest: "Oh my god, then our harvest this time will be great!"

Honey chunks!

This kind of high-concentration sugar has no shelf life. Let alone a hundred years, even tens of millions of years, it is estimated that it will not expire.

Jian Mo was so excited that he almost sweated: "It's really honey! Why don't they reuse these abandoned bird's nests? Or eat them, such a good nest!"

Wu Jiong: "I don't know, but this The nest should be very hard."

Jian Mo: "What?"

Wu Jiong: "Break it open and see."

Jian Mo didn't know why, and gently opened the nest, but it didn't break.

He tried a little harder, but it didn't budge.

Then, he used all his strength to break open the bird's nest under his hands. The bird's nest is still firmly stuck to the stone wall, as if it was born a part of the stone wall.

Jian Mo's hands were all red, but the bird

's nest was still there. He panted and looked at the bird's nest in front of him: "Why is it so difficult to break it apart?!" Wu Jiong: "It should be to prevent strong winds from blowing away the nest, so their nests are sticky. It must be very strong. I'll do it."

Jian Mo stepped aside and waited for Wu Jiong to come and break the nest.

Wu Jiongpai actually had to use all his strength to break off the nest.

After removing the grass wadding inside the nest, the entire bird's nest is made of honey blocks. It is shiny, hard, and extremely beautiful.

Jian Mo looked at the bird's nest, his eyes shining brightly.

After discovering that the nests were made of honey lumps, they tore down all the abandoned nests.

They did not touch the nests that were in use, but only tore apart the abandoned nests.

Even so, this harvest is touching enough.

After Jian Mo found the skills, he was able to master some of them.

One, two, three... After half an afternoon, Jian Mo broke off sixty-nine abandoned bird's nests by himself. Wu Jiong's harvest was at least three times his.

Jian Mo felt that his whole body was about to be blown by the wind, and said to Wu Jiong: "Go back first, or go to a sheltered place to rest. If you break it off, you will get sick."

Wu Jiong: "Go find Jiujiu first."

Wu Jiong carried the basket on his back and led him back.

After a while, they found the flying winged beast.

The Winged Beast was still waiting for them. When he saw them coming back, he shouted twice with bright eyes: "Chirp!"

Jian Mo opened his hands and hugged the Winged Beast.

The winged beast moved its position, stood up a little, and then protected Jian Mo and Wu Jiong under him like a hen holding a nest.

The body temperature of the flying winged beast was very high. Jian Mo felt like a big hot water bottle wrapped around him, and he felt warm all of a sudden.

He narrowed his eyes happily, then took out the candy bar from the basket on his back, stuffed one piece for Winged Beast, and another piece for Wu Jiong, and ate one himself: "Try it quickly - um!"

The sweet and rich taste immediately captured Jian Mo's entire mouth, and he was almost speechless.

These honey cubes are so delicious!

It's so delicious that it makes you want to curse.

Chapter 28 Braised Pork

Jian Mo huddled under the winged beast's belly, and his whole body felt warm, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

Her body felt warm, the sweet taste spread in her mouth, and Jian Mo felt a huge happiness rising in her heart.

It was an irresistible feeling of happiness that directly affected his physiology. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Wu Jiong next to him looked at him: "Are you sleepy?"

Jian Mo: "It's really, really comfortable! I just want to sleep here."

Wu Jiong: "Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."

The Winged Beast He shouted above them: "Chirp Chirp." It seemed that he was also saying that he wanted to guard Jian Mo.

Jian Mo closed his eyes and said with a nasal voice: "Jiujiu, why are you joining in the fun? I'll take a rest, and you can call me later."

Wu Jiong: "Go to sleep."

Jian Mo didn't feel comfortable sleeping outside, so he squinted for a while. And he woke up.

Just after waking up, Jian Mo felt that all the muscles and bones in her body were weak, she felt lazy and didn't want to move.

Wu Jiong was next to him, and his body temperature seemed to be higher than that of the flying winged beast.

If the Winged Beast is like a hot water bottle, then Wu Jiong is like a pot of charcoal fire.

Jian Mo's whole body felt warm from the heat, and her cheeks also had a touch of red.

Look at the sky, it's not too late now.

Jian Mo used her strong willpower to suppress her sleepiness, and said to Wu Jiong beside her: "Shall we go break some more bird's nests?"

Wu Jiong: "You rest here, I'll go."

Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong from Feiyi The beast came out from under the belly: "No, two people came out together, how can we let you work alone? Come on, we will go back after a while."

The two returned to the place where the honeybirds built their nests.

The honey sparrows that had been disturbed before came back again, and Jian Mo saw from a distance that there were still baby birds living in some nests.

The young bird opened its mouth wide, and the adult bird took the candy and stuffed it directly into the throat of the young bird.

The baby bird is so happy.

Jian Mo was envious from the bottom of his heart. It is not easy to get candy in this era.

He remembered that on Earth, he only drank 50% sugar when drinking milk tea, and sighed quietly.

There were so many abandoned nests on the rocks, so they didn't disturb the honeybirds anymore, but just broke the nests.

The sugar cubes that honeybirds use to build their nests don't have the same color, but they all have the same texture.

The sky is getting dark, and the collection of abandoned nests is almost complete.

Wu Jiong pulled Jian Mo: "Go back and come back next time."

Jian Mo sniffed: "Okay, when I go back, I must make braised pork and boil some pepper water. It's too cold today. "

Wu Jiong: "Jiao Rui water is very choking."

Jian Mo: "No, just put some sugar in it and it will taste better. Just wait and drink it. Hey, boiling water with honey cubes is too wasteful. We will pass by Shangnan later. When we go to the canyon, we will go back and pick some pink tube flowers. "

They came out with baskets and bags today.

I'll just use the bag to pick the pink tube flowers later, it's not heavy either.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went back to find the flying winged beast.

Seeing the flying-winged beast squatting there obediently, not moving or running, the wind blew up its fur and made small pits. Jian Mo's heart softened and she couldn't help but give it a small piece of honey: " Chiu Jiu is so good."

The Winged Beast lowered his head and said, "Chiu Jiu!"

They carefully closed the lid of the basket and tied it tightly to the Winged Beast.

Then, the two climbed onto the back of the flying-winged beast.

Wu Jiong shook off his animal skin coat, wrapped the two of them up, and then drove the flying-winged beast up to the south canyon.

It was very cold in the mountains, but it was much warmer once we flew into the canyon.

No wonder everyone doesn't go out much in winter. It's so cold outside and I feel like I could catch a cold at any time.

The two of them picked pink-tube flowers for a while, and it was almost dark.

Jian Mo: "Forget it, don't pick it, let's just cut it back and pick it slowly, otherwise it will be too late and we won't be able to see the road later."

Wu Jiong didn't have any objections and took out the shell knife: "Fill the bag? Jian Mo: "

Yes, just fill these three bags."

Wu Jiong used a shell knife to cut the vines of the pink tube flowers.

In order to allow the pink-tube flowers to grow next year, they only cut half of each vine and left half in place.

Wait until spring, it will send out new buds, and next winter, the canyon will be full of flowers again.

After cutting the pink-tube flowers, the two tied the bag to the flying winged beast and began to fly towards the tribe.

When the Winged Beast took off, the sunset had already come out, and the whole sky was filled with bright sunset.

At this time, there were endless snowfields and snow-capped mountains below, and the sky was colorful and magnificent, as if the earth and the sky had fallen apart.

Because he flew high enough, Jian Mo could see the lake in the distance.

In such a cold weather, several lakes are actually not frozen, and the water is shimmering, as if a small piece of sky has fallen into it.

The sunset glow disappeared just as quickly as it appeared. By the time they flew to the tribe, the sunset glow had completely disappeared.

The sky turned into a low-key gray-blue.

However, Jian Mo and the others were not at all low-key when they returned.

Everyone was shocked when they saw that they brought back two large baskets of honey cubes and honey nests.

Everyone rushed to tell each other, and almost everyone came out to watch. The whole tribe was more lively than when they had a bonfire party.

"It's really honey cubes! My God, there are so many honey cubes!"

"I haven't seen honey cubes in a long time. When I was with my partner, he gave me a small bag of honey cubes. It's such a sweet memory. "

Two years ago, the Mengshui Tribe invited us to help with the long-distance pursuit of Changmao Meng, and the reward included honey cubes, right?"

"That's right, I just came to help for the sake of honey cubes?"

"Brother Jian Mo, Jian? " Brother Mo, can you change the honey cube? Anything will do!"

When someone asked this, everyone's eyes lit up and they all turned to look at Jian Mo.

There is no need for collective work in the winter, and all the harvest is at their own disposal

. If you don't want to change it, just change it.

Jian Mo was startled by them and waved his hands and said: "I have no plans to change it yet. The honey cubes can be stored for a long time. I want to save them first."

Everyone nodded with disappointment and understanding and stopped asking.

Jian Mo was a little puzzled. They only asked themselves, not Wu Jiong. After thinking about it, I thought maybe Wu Jiong was more fierce and he was their clan leader, so they didn't dare to ask.

A young orc refused to give up: "Brother Jian Mo, where do you get your honey cubes?"

Before Jian Mo could answer, the orcs and sub-orcs beside him shouted back for him:

"They found it themselves. How can you just tell me the collection point?"

"Don't ask! It's a rule in the tribe. If you find something good in the future, you don't have to tell anyone else."

"Hahaha, leave a secret collection point for Jian Mo and the others."

Jian Mo didn't expect that there was such a rule in the tribe. He smiled and didn't pretend to be generous.

Everyone looked at it for a while, and after they were satisfied, they went back.

Jian Mo and the others went home.

The first thing he did when he got home was Jian Mo. He found Jiao Rui and used it to boil half a can of boiling water. Then he poured syrup into it, one cup for himself and one cup for Wu Jiong. He planned to give the remaining half a can later. Winged beast.

It's too cold, so I need to drink something hot to get rid of the cold, otherwise I might catch a cold later.

Jian Mo poured out the water and blew on it, then took a small sip.

Pepper water is sweet and spicy. It tastes a bit like ginger water, but the spiciness is different. Pepper water needs to be more pungent.

Jian Mo thought it tasted delicious.

There aren't many drinks in this world, but he thinks this sweet and flavourful water tastes good.

Wu Jiong took the water for a long time but didn't drink it.

Jian Mo originally thought he was afraid of being burned, but after taking a look at it, he realized that he didn't like the taste and couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Jiong is rarely such a picky eater.

Jian Mo: "Don't you like it?"

Wu Jiong said calmly: "It's okay."

Jian Mo raised his glass and made a toast gesture: "If you don't hate it too much, just drink two sips and tweet the rest."

Wu Jiong said After saying "hmm", he finally picked up the cup and slowly drank the pepper water.

Jian Mo went upstairs to find a few unused clay pots and carefully put the honey cubes in them.

After packing the honey cubes, he specially found some good-quality charcoal and put them into several clay pots.

Wu Jiong was puzzled: "What are you putting charcoal in there for? Is it also making a delicacy?"

Jian Mo: "No, charcoal has good adsorption properties. Putting it in can prevent moisture and absorb miscellaneous odors."

Wu Jiong didn't quite understand. But he nodded.

Jian Mo looked at the seemingly omnipotent patriarch with such an expression, and smiled again: "Go and bring in a piece of meat with the skin. We will make braised pork tonight."

Wu Jiong agreed and went to the back of the house to get some frozen meat . Meat.

They stored a large amount of food, including dried bacon, pickled vegetables, durable stems and frozen meat in vats.

Because they are all food collected and hunted, the types of these stored foods are not uniform.

Wu Jiong brought back a piece of meat that was relatively tender and had a relatively small smell. Under Jian Mo's command, he cut it into three-finger-thick pieces.

Jian Mo blanched the meat twice with spices, and then used a stone pot to fry the sugar color.

After the sugar color is fried, add spices and meat and stir-fry until fragrant and add fruit wine.

After all the ingredients in the pot are stir-fried, Jian Mo puts the meat into the pottery pot, adds water and puts it on the fire to simmer.

The aroma soon came out and became more and more fragrant, wafting far away from their home.

Wu Jiong did not rush to start the meal, but walked around the house.

Their stomachs growled with hunger. Jian Mo picked up the cooked stems and asked Wu Jiong to lay them down first, but he refused.

Wu Jiong said, "I'll save my stomach for dinner later."

Jian Moxiao said, "Okay, I won't disappoint you."

After a long wait, the braised pork in the pottery pot was finally ready.

Even under the light of the fire, you can still see the attractive color of the meat's oily and rosy skin, and the aroma is accompanied by the heat, floating up one after another, forming a blanket of aroma that makes people move their index fingers.

This smell is like the smell of meat, sweetness, and spices. When all the flavors are combined, even if Wu Jiong is an orc with an extremely keen sense of smell, he still can't tell what the smell is.

The rich fragrance rushed to Wu Jiong's nose, and even refreshed his memory of the fragrance.

It turns out that there is another kind of fragrance in the world that has such a fragrance method.

Jian Mo left a portion for the Winged Beast, and then handed the chopsticks to Wu Jiong: "Eat, eat, I've been hungry for too long today." Wu

Jiong took the chopsticks: "It's worth it."

Jian Mo picked up the braised pork and gently Take a bite.

The plump meat skin, soft lean meat, and rich soup all exploded in the mouth, like fireworks.

All the taste was fleeting, swallowed together with the slight movement of the throat.

Jian Mo couldn't tell what the meat tasted like. He just felt that the surprisingly strong aroma rushed out and made him dizzy.

He had to take another bite of the meat to feel the taste again so that he could tell one, two, or three.

The ice and snow have not yet melted outside, and the firelight inside the house is dim.

Only a small bonfire in the firepit illuminated them.

They sat opposite each other in front of the fire pit, and each could see the other's face.

Jian Mo was sweating a little because of the food, and small beads of sweat hung on the tip of his white nose. Because of the heat or happiness, the tip of his nose and cheeks were a little red.

This bit of red made his handsome features very vivid.

Wu Jiong looked at this blush, and suddenly thought of the scene when they peeled away the snow that day and saw the brilliant pink tube flowers underneath, and he couldn't help but feel a little drunk again.

Jian Mo cooked a lot of meat and stems today. He hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time. He was so full that he ate less than a third of all the food.

Wu Jiong wrapped the remaining food into balls.

Jian Mo rubbed his belly and looked at Wu Jiong worriedly, a little worried that he would last.

Wu Jiong raised his head: "It's okay, I consumed a lot today."

Jian Mo: "No matter how much the consumption is, the capacity in the stomach is limited, right?"

Wu Jiong: "It doesn't matter, the orc's stomach can hold it. If it can be filled later, I will Change back to your animal form."

Jian Mo looked at him and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I'll make you some preserved fruit tea to help with digestion."

Wu Jiong never made any requests, but today he said, "I want to drink it."

Jian Mo smiled, got up and went to get preserved fruits and a clay pot to make preserved fruit tea for him.

After washing up after dinner, Wu Jiong turned into a beast and slept.

The two of them were on the second floor, originally sleeping in a corner.

Today, Wu Jiong leaned over and put Jian Mo on his belly to sleep.

The weather was cold and they were sleeping next to each other. Although it was a bit unaccustomed to sleep in a circle, Jian Mo quickly ignored the strangeness.

The giant wolf's body is hot, and sleeping on his belly is really comfortable.

It is much more comfortable than a person wrapped in a thick animal skin quilt whose feet are not warm even after sleeping for a long time.

Moreover, the wolf's body is covered with thick long hair, and its belly is very soft. Sleeping on it is like sleeping on a waterbed, which is much better than the hard ground.

Jian Mo found a comfortable position on his belly, and was soon dragged deeply into a dream by exhaustion.

Perhaps because he was trapped by the giant wolf at night, his sleep quality was very good, and his body was always warm. Jian Mo did not catch a cold as he expected, but got up refreshed.

He got up very early, and Wu Jiong got up earlier than him.

Before he got up, Wu Jiong had already fed the beasts of burden and flying wings, changed the charcoal basin for the beasts of burden, and finished milking the cows.

Jian Mo walked around the house and found nothing to do, so he put the stems in a clay pot and put them on the fire pit to cook. Then he took the pink tube flowers to the hillside in the backyard and planned to plant them. .

Generally, this kind of vine can survive by cutting it. Now that the weather is cold, the survival rate will actually be higher.

They had already picked the flowers yesterday, and Jian Mo also picked off some of the leaves when planting them to prevent too many leaves from evaporating the water and reducing the survival rate.

While picking leaves, Jian Mo thought of water and the lake she saw yesterday afternoon.

The river outside the tribe was frozen, but the lake was actually not frozen.

Wait, no ice? !

A thought flashed through Jian Mo's mind, and he suddenly realized that the lake was a salt lake!

Salt water has a much lower freezing point than ordinary water, so it doesn't freeze.

In the salt lake, you can fish for salt in summer and alkaline in winter. This is chemistry knowledge in junior high school.

Passed the exam! ! !

Jian Mo suddenly put down the pink tube flower in her hand, picked up her animal fur coat and ran down the mountain: "Wu Jiong - I have something to tell you!"

Chapter 29 Laohuo

Wujiong rarely heard Jian Mo's excited voice. The first time he heard it, he thought something had happened and quickly transformed into his animal form and ran over.

The giant wolf ran up the mountain, Jian Mo ran down the mountain, and they happened to meet each other.

Jian Mo couldn't stop the car and collided directly with the giant wolf. Finally, he hugged the giant wolf's front legs to stand still.

The giant wolf looked down at him.

Jian Mo didn't bother to analyze the expression of the giant wolf. He raised his head and said, "Do you know about the wolf? It seems that you can fish for the fish in the salt lake in winter!"

The giant wolf shook his head and twitched his thick ears: "Tell me about it."

Jian Mo was attracted by those ears, and quickly forced himself to return to reality: "When we made soap, we soaked water with plant ash, and there was chlorine in the water."

Giant Wolf: "I remember, you and me We said it."

Jian Mo: "Yes! But the alkaloid content in the plant ash is relatively low, and it is not very pure, and it is very troublesome to soak it. The alkaloids in the salt lake are different. They are more pure and can be made into soap. , the cleaning effect will be better." Jian Mo was a little excited and said quickly: "It is very useful. The most important thing is that it can only be caught in winter. If you miss this season, it will be more difficult

to catch it."

Remembering some useful knowledge, Jian Mo hopes to use it.

He looked up at Wu Jiong expectantly.

The giant wolf thought for a while and said: "Then let's go there. We happen to be out of salt. Let's pick some salt back."

Jian Mo: "Do you want to go to the salt lake to pick salt?"

Not only can you pick salt in the winter, but you can also pick salt in the salt lake. There is also salt, so you can grab some on the way.

The giant wolf shook his head: "We usually go to the salt mountain to pick it. That salt is more delicious."

When Jian Mo heard what he said, she suddenly thought of the salt in the salt lake.

If there is a salt lake in a salt lake, salt and salt will be mixed together, and the salt will have a bitter taste, and the salt taken out from there will probably also taste bitter.

People in this world may not understand various chemical principles, but they have rich experience.

Jian Mo sighed inwardly and reminded himself again not to underestimate others.

Jian Mo felt a little excited when she thought of various chlorine compounds.

Wu Jiong didn't know much about this, so he just treated it as an ordinary collection. After saying hello to Jian Mo, he went to discuss it with others.

Jian Mo stayed where he was, watching the giant wolf slowly disappear, and his excitement calmed down a little.

He knew about å¿¿, but he was not very familiar with its application. He still had to figure out how to use it specifically.

It is estimated to be a relatively difficult project.

It's been a long time since we all went out to collect together, and this time there were so many people here.

The orcs and sub-orcs no longer divided themselves into groups and all acted together.

The orcs returned to their beast form and lay down, and the sub-orcs climbed on their backs.

All the giant beasts lined up in a row, very conspicuous in the snow.

Qing Kuo turned around to count the number of people, and then checked everyone's situation. After making sure that there was no problem, he reached out and patted the back of the giant wolf under him: "Diya, let's go!"

A deep roar came from the white giant wolf's throat: "Ouch——"

Then, he ran out with Qing Kuo on his back.

Di Ya walked in the front carrying Qing Kuo on her back, while Wu Jiong walked in the back carrying Jian Mo on his back.

The giant wolf that Wu Jiong transformed into was the largest of all the giant beasts. Jian Mo sat on his back and looked down from a high place, and could clearly see the situation of all the orcs and sub-orcs in front of him.

Then he discovered that whether it was a feline or canine beast, when it ran, it always ran along the paw prints in front.

Not only that, but their back paws step exactly on the prints of their front paws.

After they ran through, there were only two lines of marks on the white and clean snowfield.

If an inexperienced person came to take a look, he would never guess that a group of orcs carrying sub-orcs ran here.

During the break, Jian Mo leaned on the giant wolf and asked this question in a low voice: "Why are everyone following their own footprints?"

Wu Jiong also lowered his voice: "The snow is falling too hard, look. If you don't know what's going on underneath and run around randomly in the wilderness, you may easily sprain or prick your feet."

When Wu Jiong was in his animal form, his voice was relatively low. Maybe the sound becomes different after passing through the mouth tube.

Looking at the serious look of the giant wolf, Jian Mo always felt that it was particularly itchy.

He has never seen a giant wolf on earth, but he has seen a lot of big dogs. The dogs are more naughty than the other, and they are completely different from the giant wolf.

Thinking of this, Jian Mo felt a little itchy.

He endured it again and again, but he still couldn't hold it back. He grabbed the front paw of the giant wolf and played it back and forth: "So that's it."

Wu Jiong nodded the wolf's head.

Wu Jiong was fine, and many orcs in the tribe were panting.

They gasped, opened their mouths wide and exposed their tongues, which looked quite cute.

But it was different from Wu Jiong. Jian Mo turned to look at Wu Jiong and felt that the other orcs were somewhat animalistic, but Wu Jiong was particularly cool and handsome.

Jian Mo's gaze was so obvious that he didn't even notice it, but many people around him noticed it.

Wu Jiong turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jian Mo realized belatedly that this seemed impolite, and said sheepishly, "I'm just taking a look."

After resting for a while, everyone continued to set off.

They were running on the snowfield again. Some animals noticed the movement and ran away from a distance. Even the birds hovering in the sky did not dare to get too close.

Jian Mo watched the distant mountains getting closer and closer, leaving the nearby forest behind, with an expression of wonder on his face.

It is said that a horse can run to death by looking up the mountain, but this does not apply to the orcs. The orcs run too fast, traveling thousands of miles a day, and climbing over mountains and ridges is nothing to them.

After looking at it for a while, the color of snow made Jian Mo's eyes uncomfortable.

He lay down, hugged the giant wolf's neck, leaned on the giant wolf, closed his eyes and rested.

As he continued reading, he was a little worried that he would get snow blindness.

There was no mirror here, and Jian Mo didn't notice that when he looked at the snowy field, his pupils were actually shrinking, but they were not as obvious as those of the orcs and sub-orcs here.

He also didn't notice that occasionally when listening to distant sounds, his ears could actually move very slightly.

Change has come, but no one has noticed its existence.

The main purpose of going out today is to collect salt.

People go to the salt mountain first, and when they peel off the snow on the surface, they can see the reddish-brown rock salt underneath.

The particles of rock salt are much smaller than stones, and they are a little sticky when rubbed, making them very easy to identify.

Experienced people directly pick up the surface rock salt and put it into a basket lined with cloth.

Jian Mo looked at the salt in the entire mountain and understood why no one went to the salt lake to get salt.

Not only is it easy to get salt from the mountains, but the salt tastes good and doesn't have any weird smell.

Although they have more impurities, the salt in salt lakes does not necessarily have less impurities.

This salt mountain is not far from the salt lake and should be regarded as the edge of their tribe.

Jian Mo was curious: "Only our tribe will come to this mountain to get salt? Or are other tribes coming too?"

Wu Jiong: "Come on, this mountain is considered an ownerless territory."

Jian Mo was shocked: "Ownerless?! So that? The good salt mountain is ownerless?"

Ban Ming and several other orcs were carrying salt one after another. Hearing their words, he leaned over and said, "It didn't have an owner at the beginning."

Jian Mo heard this . , immediately knew that there was a story in it, and asked: "Then what?"

Ban Ming: "It is between our tribe, the Dianxin tribe and the Mengshui tribe. There is no specific dividing line on the mountain. Everyone comes here to collect salt, but they think there is something else." The tribe collected salt from their own tribe and fought several times."

Jian Mo: "Did our tribe win?"

Ban Ming shook his head: "No, we tied with the Mengshui tribe and the Dianxin tribe lost. But he refused to accept it and kept trying to fight again. More and more people were injured, and they couldn't go out to hunt and collect anymore. " Jian Mo listened intently

: "What happened next?

After talking about it: "Later, everyone agreed at the hunting meeting that each of the three tribes would give up a small piece of land, using this mountain and the nearby salt lake as ownerless territory, and each tribe could come here to mine salt. "

Ban Ming: "Yes, yes, it's just because we all gave up the territory. When we mediate with the Zhengchi Tribe and the Mengshui Tribe later, they don't have any objections if we ask them to give up the disputed territory,"

Jian Mo thought . Standing up: "It's the unclaimed land where we collected noodle fruits, right?"

Ban Ming clicked his tongue: "You guessed it!"

There was salt everywhere on the ground, and it was collected quickly.

They finished picking the salt while chatting.

Qing Kuo came over: "Now go to the Salt Lake?"

Jian Mo nodded: "Let's go see if we can catch the fish."

No one had any objections. Anyway, the Salt Lake is nearby, and it doesn't take much time to drop by.

They packed up their things and set out again, and soon arrived at the edge of the salt lake.

The Salt Lake is a lake, and it looks a bit like a turbid pond. The water is very shallow, probably no bigger than a person's thigh, and the bottom is full of gravel.

Jian Mo reached into the water and touched it.

The water was okay. Apart from being cold, it wasn't very irritating. However, when I picked my hands up from the water, my hands felt sticky and itchy, which was not very comfortable.

Jian Mo waved his hand in the wind and licked the back of his hand.

A salty smell spread, just an ordinary salt smell, and there seemed to be no other peculiar smell.

Everyone looked at him, waiting for his command.

He touched under the water again and finally found small yellow-brown crystals.

Jian Mo: "This should be 忑."

Ban Ming and his group of young orcs also bent down and touched, and they also found a small yellow-brown crystal. They held it up and asked, "How do you know it is 忑 and not something else? "

Jian Mo was really confused by the question. His existing knowledge system could not support him to do an experiment to verify it.

Jian Mo: "Taste it?"

Ban Ming, a big-hearted guy, heard what he said and threw it into his mouth: "Taste-ah bah bah bah!!!"

Jian Mo: "... Just lick it. No need to eat it whole."

Others laughed.

Ban Ming cast a resentful look: "It's bitter, you didn't tell me earlier."

Jian Mo innocently said: "I didn't expect your hands to be so fast. It must be the bitter one."

After thinking about it, he said: "Salt Lake Even if the stuff that precipitates out in the winter is not pure chlorine, it should still contain chlorine. Let's pick it up first and take it back to make soap later. If we can do it successfully, it means that the chlorine content in it is not small. "

Soap is a good thing, everyone. After being reminded, my enthusiasm became much higher.

Everyone reached in and touched it together, and soon they caught a lot of fish.

The weather was really too cold. Although the salt lake was not frozen, the water temperature was very low, much lower than the normal water temperature. After fishing for a while, even the orcs and sub-orcs couldn't bear the cold, so they quickly wrapped themselves in animal skin robes or changed their bodies. Return to the animal form and set off towards the tribe.

The salt water was sticky and greasy, and it was still uncomfortable even after wiping it off.

As soon as everyone returned to the tribe, they took soap and said they were going to take a shower.

Jian Mo saw that it was freezing outside, and they had to wash themselves with cold water. Her scalp was numb and she asked, "Don't you guys boil water to take a bath?"

Qing Kuo said, "I'm used to it. Find a place with leeward wind, put it in the water and rub it for a while. It's done. Let it dry in the sun and it will warm up quickly.

"It won't take long to boil the water." Jian Mo was startled

.

, he has never worried about firewood, Wu Jiong has to cut it, and the place where the firewood is placed on the side of the house is never empty.

Qing Kuo laughed and said: "Besides, scrubbing with hot water is too slow and not pleasant enough. It's better to endure the cold water and wash it off in the cold water."

After that, Qing Kuo said considerately: "You are different from us. You'd better wash it at home to avoid getting sick from the cold."

Qing Kuo, a hot-tempered sub-orc, left after saying a few words, leaving Jian Mo in a daze.

Not only did Jian Mo often bathe in the small shed surrounded by animal skins, but he also asked Wu Jiong to bathe at home together, and Wu Jiong never said anything.

Before Jian Mo was in a daze, Wu Jiong had already boiled water and called him to take a bath.

He didn't bother to organize his thoughts for a moment, so he hurried upstairs to get clean clothes and went to take a shower behind the house.

The salt water was so sticky that it stuck to my body, and now I feel sticky and itchy.

Jian Mo specially took a bath towel and gave himself a good rub.

After everyone had taken a shower, they sat together on the open ground to bask in the sun, drying their hair and allowing themselves to warm up earlier.

The young orcs and sub-orcs couldn't sit still. They brought out animal oil and asked Jian Mo: "Brother Jian Mo, can you make soap now? How do you make soap with orcs?"

Jian Mo walked over and said, "Let's make gray water. Just like soap, dissolve it with water first, then heat it and pour it into the heated animal oil."

Everyone immediately picked up stones and built a simple fire pit on the spot, and got tools to burn oil and water.

Jian Mo personally took charge: "You don't need to put so much water, otherwise you're afraid it will explode when the water is poured into the animal oil. Put a little first and let's try it."

The young people gathered around him and listened to his instructions.

Jian Mo waited for the water and oil to heat up, then slowly poured the water into the grease while wearing animal skin gloves.

As soon as the water comes into contact with the oil, it emulsifies immediately and does not fry.

Jian Mo stirred quickly.

Ban Ming took the jar from his hand: "I'm strong, I'll do it."

Jian Mo was not polite: "You come on, I'll watch."

There was animal oil on the side. Jian Mo heated it together, poured in water, and asked the young people to stir aside.

Although the soap is not ready yet, everyone can see that the quality of the alkaline soap is better than the gray water soap.

Qing Kuo took some soap and rubbed his hands. After washing them, he said excitedly: "This salt water soap is better than gray water soap."

Jian Mo observed his hands and nodded: "It has stronger cleaning power. "

Jian Mo always says strange things, and everyone is used to it and can roughly understand what he means.

Qing Kuo: "Make more. The batch we made last time is almost gone."

Jian Mo didn't have any objections.

The orc Dejiang asked from the side: "In addition to making soap, is there any other use for Hao?"

Dejiang competed with Wu Jiong for the position of clan leader, and now he is quite prestigious in the tribe.

Hearing his question, Jian Mo thought about it seriously and replied: "You can try firing pottery. The glaze on the pottery will have different effects if mixed with different minerals. If you use the pottery configuration, you should be able to produce a more special glaze. "

Qing Kuo nodded in agreement: "That's good. Although it's freezing outside, it shouldn't be difficult to dig some soil to make pottery. Glazed pottery is so popular recently, even if we don't use it, it would be nice to exchange it with other tribes. Okay."

Jian Mo thinks it's feasible. The fabrics he recently changed have made several sets of close-fitting clothes for him and Wu Jiong. Now he has initially achieved the freedom of changing and washing, and his quality of life is higher than before.

In addition to cloth, the stems, spices, etc. they exchange are also very good.

If they make another batch of pottery, in addition to their own use, they should also be able to exchange for a lot of good things.

If you change more things, this winter will be better.

Jian Mo: "Then let's dig some mud and come back later, and I'll see how to adjust the glaze. We can try a few more glazes, some with old glazes, some with new glazes, so that we won't be wasting our time."

Qing Kuo: "This is a good idea."

Ban Ming was stirring vigorously beside him and said after hearing this: "Brother Jian Mo, you always say that you are not a high priest. If you are not a high priest, how could you know so many things?"

Jian Mo: "Yes, everyone has to learn a lot there."

Qing Kuo sighed: "Your place must be very good."

Chapter 30:

Pottery making in the new pottery kiln has always been an important public matter in the tribe. Everyone is very enthusiastic about starting pottery making.

There is nothing to do in winter, so everyone divides the work and cooperates.

The orcs dug clay, and the sub-orcs made pottery.

Jian Mo was assigned to the group of sub-orcs and sat in the open space of the tribe, basking in the sun with everyone and working slowly.

He specially wore animal skin gloves, and since the gloves were between them, he didn't feel much discomfort when working.

Sitting here, you can also hear the gossip of various tribes, which is quite fun.

While Jian Mo was working and listening to gossip, Ban Ming and the others brought back several large baskets of soil.

Jian Mo was a little drowsy and his mind was not very online. When he saw this, he said: "Don't luck. There is enough clay now. We won't be able to use it up if we transport it again. Let's dig out the mud again when the weather gets warmer. It's cold." Don't suffer this."

The leader, Ban Ming, was a little surprised and asked in a loud voice: "Is this enough?"

Qing Kuo looked up and said, "It's not even close."

Jian Mo looked at the piles. Clay: "We can't finish it."

Qing Kuo smiled and said to him, "If you want to make a kiln, you need to transport more clay."

Jian Mo then remembered, holding the pottery in his hand and said, "I'll just say There is already so much clay, why do we need to transport it?"

Everyone was laughing.

After a pause, Jian Mo said: "Actually, I just wanted to say it last time. It is too time-consuming and laborious to pile fire on the flat ground every time."

Qing Kuo: "How else can I burn it?"

Jian Mo: "Jian Mo Kiln."

He said an unfamiliar term again, and everyone looked up at him.

Jian Mo knew what they were thinking, and before anyone asked, he took the initiative to explain: "It is a space like a small house. When we bake pottery, we put the pottery in it and bake it, which can better maintain the temperature inside.

Qing Kuo immediately realized: "Isn't that the same as sealing it with soil?" Jian

Mo: "Yes! That's the idea, just changing from a one-time kiln to a long-term kiln, so that we don't have to use it every time." Using so much soil to seal the pottery, and building a proper kiln will make pottery more efficient."

"It seems feasible."

"But if we build it, it won't be like building a house. Is it easy to collapse?"

"Our house is too big, so it's not easy to collapse if we build a small kiln."

"Should we build a hemispherical kiln? We usually make it hemispherical. "Can it still be built in a hemispherical kiln?"

"Can't it be built?"

All the questions came to Jian Mo's head.

Jian Mo hesitated. He was not very familiar with architecture, but the kilns he had read in books seemed to be hemispherical.

Just when everyone looked at Jian Mo, Wu Jiong, who had been silent until now, said, "Can it be burned directly in the cave?"

Qing Kuo didn't know why: "Cave?"

Jian Mo immediately caught Wu Jiong's head. Huilu, immediately said: "I think it's okay!"

The flying-winged beast fell into the cave before, and opening a hole on the top of the natural cave should not be a big problem.

Moreover, the cave has been in shape for so long, so its stability should be stronger than the ordinary pottery kilns they built.

Jian Mo looked at Wu Jiong and said with bright eyes: "This is a good idea. If we can find a suitable cave and renovate it, it will be much easier than building a pottery kiln directly."

The people around him slowly understood. also joined in the discussion.

"If you want to put it that way, it wouldn't be troublesome to give it a try?"

"Why don't you just make a hole? I'll transform back into my animal form, and I can dig out a hole with my claws."

"That's right, if it doesn't work, you can still go up.

"Ban Ming! Didn't you bite the house down when you were

a kid ?" There were also sub-orcs nearby, who transformed into beast forms and started biting each other.

Jian Mo watched a large group of cats and dogs fighting nearby, and was very sure that there was no sub-orc they liked here, otherwise they wouldn't be so childish.

Speaking of which, the idea of ​​late marriage and late childbearing in this world is quite advanced.

For example, Ye Luo, a sub-orc of Qing Kuo's generation, is still single, and everyone doesn't have much gossip, so he seems to be quite tolerant.

Qing Kuo calmly ignored his son who was fighting with other orcs and said, "If you really want to use a cave instead of a cave dwelling, a double-mouth cave seems okay."

Jian Mo: "Double-mouth cave?"

Wu Jiong: "A small one by the river. I'll take you to see the cave later."

Jian Mo said impatiently, "Don't wait any longer. Let's go see it now."

"That's okay," Wu Jiong said to the others, "I'll take Jian Mo there. Let's see if the double-mouth cave is suitable."

Qing Kuo: "Let's continue thinking about other caves here."

Wu Jiong nodded, turned into a giant wolf, picked up Jian Mo, and walked directly to the river.

It was estimated that in less than three minutes, they were at the lower reaches of the river, a little below where Jian Mo usually placed the fish traps.

Wu Jiong returned to his human form, picked up the animal skin robe and shoes and socks that had fallen to the ground and put them on: "It's right here."

Jian Mo was embarrassed to look at him, so she turned her back and observed on the cliff, and soon found it. A small cave.

There was a door made of wooden boards outside the cave, and there was a pile of withered grass outside the door. He walked around the area many times without realizing that there was a cave here.

He struggled to open the door and found a pile of bottles and cans inside.

Wu Jiong had already put on his clothes and came from behind: "This is the place where our tribe keeps sundries. Those jars contain fruit wine."

Jian Mo sniffed: "I smell it."

The hole is not big. The depth is relatively deep, from the entrance to the innermost part, it is about six or seven meters, but the width is only three or four meters.

In addition to the hole blocked by the door, there is a small hole on the side.

No wonder it's called Shuangkou Cave.

Wu Jiong looked at Jian Mo who was wandering back and forth in the cave: "Is this cave okay?"

Jian Mo: "It should be fine. We can repair it and plug the big hole at the door with mud, and open a small hole on the top for ventilation. Then pile some mud in the deep part of the hole to block it, and dig some more on both sides, and that might be enough."

Wu Jiong nodded.

Jian Mo explained: "The main thing is that we need to ensure that the temperature inside the hole is as uniform as possible. It is best to keep the area on all four sides about the same, otherwise it will easily crack the pottery."

Wu Jiong: "I know."

Jian Mo thought for a while: " For safety, we can also pick up some stones and make them into pillars to support the top."

There are all stone houses in the tribe. Everyone's construction skills are pretty good, and quarrying nearby is also convenient.

Wu Jiong: "The stone pillars are also covered with mud?"

Jian Mo: "Use clay and add some dry grass or something in it. Doesn't the clay harden once it is sintered? The stickiness should be good."

The two discussed the cave in a few words . I went back and told everyone about it, and everyone thought it was good.

Qing Kuo said directly: "Ban Ming and the others are so strong that they can still fight outside. Let's just let them dig holes and vent their energy."

Jian Mo gave a thumbs up: "Kill the family for justice."

Qing Kuo shrugged, Call Ban Ming and the others over and tell them to dig holes.

Ban Ming had not yet changed back to his human form. Hearing this, his cat face fell, and he complained softly: "That will make the claws bald."

Qing Kuo: "Anyway, we don't go hunting much in winter, so just polish them off. It's just right." It's convenient for you to fight with other orcs, no matter how hard you fight, nothing will happen."

Ban Ming: "What about spring?" Qing Kuo was very calm: "The nails

grow in spring.

They were all sent to dig holes, under the command of Jian Mo.

Jian Mo was surrounded by such a large group of furries, and his whole body felt a strange and funny feeling, as if he was in a dream.

He is a pet doctor who usually deals with furries, but now he has a different way of dealing with them.

I have to say, life is quite magical.

Ban Ming and the others didn't think much about it. When they arrived at the place, they asked directly: "Brother Jian Mo, how are we going to dig?"

Jian Mo glanced left and right. After all, he still felt sorry for the big cats' paws, so he simply clicked on the two canines. The orcs came out and asked the canine orcs to expand the left and right sides of the cave.

The claws of canids are better suited for digging in the soil and are less prone to baldness.

The other orcs stayed behind to assist, first removing the existing debris in the cave, and then digging out the excavated soil.

It happened that the cave needed to be repaired. The excavated soil did not need to be transported out and thrown away. It was piled directly at the back and blocked the entrance of the cave.

No one had any objections, and the two canids ducked into the cave.

The cave is indeed a bit small, and can only accommodate two canids.

When the two canines entered, they had to lower themselves, spread their hind legs, and try their best to get in.

Jian Mo couldn't help but smile a little when he looked at the two big dogs.

Ban Ming saw it very clearly and couldn't help but shudder: "Brother Jian Mo, what are you thinking about?"

Jian Mo raised his head: "Nothing."

He just remembered that he went to an internship in a famous pet hospital. When I was young, I walked eight big dogs in one day.

At that time, he didn't know what the dog was feeling, but he was as tired as a dog.

Thinking about it this way, there is nothing wrong with traveling to the world of orcs. At least the dogs in this world are well-behaved.

The two canids were very efficient, or maybe the soil in the cave was soft enough.

After a while, they dug out a lot of dirt with their paws.

The other orcs were not idle either. After cleaning up the debris inside and outside the cave, they compacted the soil they took out and blocked the entrance of the cave.

Some of the orcs climbed to the top of the cave, cleared away the weeds on the top, and marked the location where the cave was to be dug.

The beasts of the orcs are really big and strong, so they are really good at work.

Jian Mo took them out for a day, then took out the cave dwelling and repaired it.

The repaired cave dwelling is hemispherical inside, with a small opening on the top and a small opening on the side.

If you want to send air in, you can install a vertical hand-operated fan directly outside the hole on the side. The fire in the cave should be burning brighter by then.

The cave dwelling was taken out, and the orcs looked at the fruits of their labor and felt very accomplished.

They couldn't help but suggest to Jian Mo:

"Brother Jian Mo, the cave has been dug out, how about we burn a batch of charcoal first?"

"Yes, yes, brother Jian Mo, didn't you say you want to check the effect of the cave? Burn it. Charcoal is the fastest." "I would like to make pottery directly, but it's a pity that the pottery is not dry well. It's okay

to burn some charcoal first."

"Brother Jian Mo, if you think so, let's go chop down the tree tomorrow!"

Opinion, the principles of burning charcoal and burning pottery are similar.

At most, when burning charcoal, the kiln must be sealed and allowed to smolder.

During the smoldering process, the heat dries out the cave dwelling, making it stronger and better able to trap heat.

At the same time, its effect can also be detected after high-temperature baking.

If something goes wrong, they can make it right in time.

Thinking of this, Jian Mo readily agreed: "You go ahead and cut down the trees, and burn a batch of charcoal the day after tomorrow. Let's see if there is any problem with this pottery kiln?"

Ban Ming immediately cheered and asked: "Brother Jian Mo, Can you discuss with the clan leader and others that we contributed more to the charcoal burned this time, can we share it? I want to give some to Amon. "

Amon is a sub-orc that Ban Ming likes, but he is from the Heroic Tribe. people.

Jian Mo: "I can ask for help. You can tell me the details in person."

The technique of burning charcoal is considered a secret of their tribe, and Wu Jiong and the others must have other instructions.

Ban Ming: "No problem! If you open your mouth, Brother Jian Mo, the clan leader and my father will definitely agree."

Jian Mo nodded and said, "When you cut down the tree, remember to replant some tree seeds, otherwise the tree will grow bigger." The less you chop, the more you chop, the mountain will become bald."

Ban Ming and the others laughed: "I know this, my father and the others have ordered it."
