Chapter 31 The Glass

River Tribe has burned charcoal several times.

The technical content of burning charcoal is not high, as long as you control the heat and don't under-burn or over-burn. Therefore, people who have participated in charcoal burning have basically mastered the charcoal burning technology.

Everyone divided the work and cooperated, and the tribe soon began to burn a new round of charcoal.

This morning, Jian Mo came out early to collect the fish cages.

By the river, the charcoal fire in the kiln had long been extinguished, but the faint smell of smoke lingered in the air.

He smelled the smell and felt like he was smelling the harvest, and his mood became soaring.

The tribe burned charcoal and would burn pottery in a few days. They should soon have no shortage of pottery.

If everything goes well, he should soon be able to get a pottery jar or jar and pickle some side dishes.

The vegetables he pickles now are all pickles. If he has a convenient container, he can pickle sauerkraut.

Pickled cabbage pancakes, pickled cabbage pots, pickled cabbage stew, etc. are all good dishes that just improve the taste.

Jian Mo walked slowly by the river. The fresh frost in the morning spread evenly on the ground, making a creaking sound when he stepped on it.

Looking around, the wilderness is completely white, and occasionally you can see the tips of brown dead trees from under the snow on the mountains.

The snow on the top of the mountain is thicker, and the morning glow shines on it, reflecting a ray of gold.

The surrounding scenery was so beautiful, Jian Mo stared into the distance and took a deep breath of the cold air.

If you really think about it, life here doesn't seem to be much worse than on earth.

The earth is rich in materials and industry, but the pressure is too great. People may not live as happily as orcs or sub-orcs.

Jian Mo comforted himself, carried a big wooden stick, and walked briskly to the place where the fish cage was placed.

The fish cage was still in place, but it was frozen under the water.

Fortunately, he had knocked on the ice yesterday, and the ice was only frozen with a thin layer. He tapped it lightly with a wooden stick, and the ice cracked, revealing the fish cage underneath.

He pulled out the fish cage from underneath and quickly poured the contents onto the river bank.

"One, two, three, four..."

A total of four fish, three shrimps and two small shellfish were harvested today.

Jian Mo grabbed a fish and said, "It's quite fat."

He took out the shell knife from his waist, killed the fish by the river, took out the internal organs and gills, put it back into the fish cage, and then put the fish cage in Throw it back into the river.

The smell of blood from the internal organs will attract aquatic creatures. If he is lucky, he will also harvest some food tomorrow.

It was a bit cold by the river, and Jian Mo couldn't stand it after staying there for a while. She quickly washed the cut fish and shrimp and walked quickly home.

When he returned home, Wu Jiong happened to come back. Looking at the fish and shrimp in his hand, Wu Jiong took it and asked, "Why didn't you wait for me to get it?"

Jian Mo said, "I just boiled the water and you didn't." Come back soon, there is nothing to do, so I just put away the fish cage."

The two of them entered the house, and Jian Mo went to the fire pit to warm himself up.

When it warmed up, he used a fire stick to pull out the cooked stems from the ashes and put them to the side to avoid simmering them for too long and causing the stems to become completely carbonized.

After he finished eating, he raised his head and said, "Eat fried bacon and baked fish this morning, plus milk from the beast?"

Wu Jiong nodded: "I can do both."

Jian Mo: "I don't have much grass left at home. After dinner, "We have to cut some grass to feed Chiujiu."

Wu Jiong didn't have any objections: "It's not too cold there, so it's easier to cut grass."

The flying-winged beast eats a lot and needs a lot of it every day. food.

Fortunately, they now keep it free-range, and it will go out to find some food on its own during the day. They only need to prepare some delicious food for it as a supplement, so the workload is not too big.

Otherwise, just raising the flying-winged beasts would make them have a hard time this winter.

While they were having breakfast in the house, there was a knock on the door.

Jian Mo looked up with the bowl in hand and saw Qing Kuo walking in from outside.

Jian Mo greeted quickly: "Qing Kuo, have you had breakfast?"

Qing Kuo waved his hand: "Yes, I won't eat today. I came here to say that today's charcoal has been taken out and I will cook another batch in the evening. Do you want to take a look at the kiln? Also, Jian Mo, don't you want to try the glaze?"

Jian Mo sat back and said, "I'll try the glaze later. I'll get the glaze out later."

Qing Kuo: "How many types of glaze are there?"

Jian Mo: "Sixteen or seven? I'll find out later."

Jian Mo ate while thinking about the pottery kiln . After breakfast, we went to the pottery kiln with Wu Jiong.

They burned several batches of charcoal and repaired the pottery kiln each time.

Now is the sixth time. The kiln has been repaired very well and looks presentable.

Jian Mo watched with his own eyes as the kiln grew from scratch and was gradually transformed into a familiar look. He couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

He stood at the entrance of the kiln and observed for a moment, then bent down and walked in.

There is residual smoke inside the cave dwelling after burning, and the surrounding area is very dry, not like a cave environment at all.

He stretched out his hand and touched the kiln wall. Later, they smeared the kiln wall with clay. Now the clay has sintered and become hard and strong.

The pillars used for reinforcement in the center of the cave are also very strong. The clay firmly binds the stones together. If there are no accidents, it should not be a problem for ten or eight years.

Jian Mo looked up at the top.

In order to facilitate ventilation, the hole at the top of the cave was opened, allowing sunlight and cold wind to pour in, and soon the stale air in the cave would be swept away.

The cave dwelling has been renovated to this extent, and even Jian Mo can't make any comments for the time being.

Qing Kuo asked: "How is it?"

Jian Mo turned her head, saw that his expression was slightly proud, and smiled: "It's great, everyone's hands-on skills are so strong."

Qing Kuo: "How about adjusting the glaze now?"

Jian Mo Nodding: "Okay."

Jian Mo collected more than a dozen materials during this period and planned to try them all as glaze recipes.

Ye Luo and others used stones to grind these materials into fine powder for him, now waiting for him to use them.

He wanted to adjust the glaze, and Qing Kuo, Ye Luo and other core sub-orcs from the tribe came over to watch.

Jian Mo took the powders of various materials and combined them separately, then added water to make a glaze slurry.

In order to facilitate memory, he specially cut many small pieces of wood as note boards.

Now when adjusting the glaze, he used charcoal blocks and wrote down the proportions of each glaze for easy reference later.

As a mature writing system, Chinese characters cannot be understood by people in this world, nor can they guess the meaning.

Ye Luo said with envy: "This word is really beautiful."

Jian Mo raised his head and smiled: "The achievements passed down by our ancestors."

Ye Luo nodded and said nothing more.

Ye Luo and others knew that he came from a large tribe outside and knew many different things, and they had no other thoughts about the words he wrote.

Not only did they have no objections, they also spread favorable public opinions in the tribe and helped him cover up.

With their protection, Jian Mo's integration into the tribe was extremely smooth.

Jian Mo used thin wooden chips to evenly apply the prepared glaze slurry on the previously cracked pottery pieces to a certain thickness.

The weather is cold and windy now, so if you leave it outside for a few hours, it can be fired in the kiln in the evening.

After firing, these pottery pieces will become like color cards, which makes it easier for him to compare the conditions of various glazes.

If the firing was unsuccessful, he would remove the corresponding glaze formula to avoid wasting the pottery.

Making pottery is so difficult. It's such a cold day and there are so many steps. Each step takes a lot of effort from everyone. It's a pity to waste it.

Let's do an experiment with broken pottery pieces.

He handed the painted pottery pieces to Qing Kuo: "Thank you for your hard work. If I don't come back in the evening, you can just put them in the kiln and burn them."

Qing Kuo: "What's so hard about this? You guys are going to Qing Kuo today. Mowing the grass in Moyuan?"

Jian Mo nodded: "Wu Jiong said there is more grass there. If you are lucky, you can still find green grass to improve the taste of Jiujiu."

Ye Luo smiled next to him: "You can use it if you are not in a hurry. When you dig up grass roots with a hoe, there may not necessarily be green grass under the soil, but there must be white and tender roots. "

Jian Mo really didn't think of this before, and his eyes lit up when he heard this: "Thank you for reminding me!"

Ye Luo waved: "You're welcome. ."

Jian Mo ran home, saw Wu Jiong, and relayed Ye Luo's words.

Wu Jiong said: "I found the hoe. The hoe is a bit bald. I will make two new ones in two days."

People used to use stone hoe to dig stems, but both orcs and sub-orcs have claws. The frequency of getting to Stone Hoe is not that high.

After Jian Mo came, he became the only one who completely relied on tools. The Wujiong family's tools were particularly worn out, and new ones had to be replenished from time to time.

The two of them went to the green marsh source alone. Wu Jiong did not change into his beast form, but went directly on the flying winged beast.

Winged beasts can fly in a straight line, which is much more convenient than running.

When they arrived, they pushed aside the snow and dug up the soil on the surface, and sure enough they saw the white and tender grass stems underneath.

The grass stems taste sweet but slightly bitter. They are non-toxic and can be eaten by humans.

Jian Mo looked at the grass stalks in his hand, planning to dig some and make them into vegetables, just in time to get some fiber.

As a mere human being, consuming too little fiber is not healthy either.

Whenever this happens, Jian Mo feels a little envious of the orcs and sub-orcs here. They are much thicker than him, and they seem to have no problem eating whatever they want.

The flying-winged beast saw them digging grass stems, and slowly realized that they were digging for its food.

It chirped twice happily, then used its paws to claw away the snow and mud, digging and eating at the same time.

Jian Mo watched it eat and didn't care about it. If it ate more, it would be better to feed it less at night.

Green Marsh Source may be relatively warm because there are mountains all around, so they didn't feel cold even after working here for most of the day.

It was not easy to go out, so Jian Mo simply took Wu Jiong and worked until nightfall before going back.

When they returned to the tribe, a new batch of wet wood had been sent into the kiln, as had the glaze pieces he made.

Qing Kuo raised his head while busy and said to him: "The kiln has been closed. If you want to see it, you can only see it when you get up tomorrow morning."

Jian Mo: "No rush, I just stopped by to take a look."

Qing Kuo waved his hand: "Nothing to do with you. Go back first, you've been tired for a long day, go back and rest quickly."

Jian Mo walked around and went home after being advised.

Life in the tribe was very peaceful. After dinner, Jian Mo washed up and went up to the second floor, next to the giant wolf that Wu Jiong had transformed into, and quickly fell asleep.

He slept very soundly at night and didn't even have a dream, so when he was woken up the next morning, he was completely confused.

"...What?" Jian Mo looked at the situation in front of him and couldn't react, "Have the glaze pieces been burned out?"

Qing Kuo: "Yes! Some have been burned out, and some have not been burned out. I have brought them all. You Look!"

Jian Mo nodded dully.

Qingkuo's black hand held three pottery pieces, all of which were covered with mottled colored glazes. Because the background color of the pottery pieces was off-white, Jian Mo could roughly tell that the colors of the glaze were red and blue.

After seeing it clearly, he suddenly woke up and said, "It's actually been fired."

Qing Kuo said, "Only these three glaze pieces out of the sixteen pieces were fired. What will it look like when the remaining glaze pieces are sent to the kiln?" "It was still the same when I took it out."

Jian Mo lifted the quilt and said, "

Here it is, here it is." Qing Kuo took out the other dusty glaze pieces from the basket and couldn't help but wonder. He said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes. Don't get sick."

Jian Mo glanced at the brazier burning in the corner of the room: "It's okay, it's warm here."

Qing Kuo: "Others are okay, but you are not sure, so hurry up Put it on."

Hearing this, Jian Mo had no choice but to put on the animal skin robe first, and then took the glaze piece and examined it carefully.

These glazes were painted at the same time, sent into the kiln at the same time, and taken out at the same time. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be much difference. I don't know why some were fired and some were not.

Jian Mo took Qing Kuo downstairs and hurriedly pulled out the record he wrote yesterday.

He numbered the glaze pieces, and only three of them were fired: No. 9, No. 10, and No. 11.

He took out the wood chips and looked at the formula of the glaze slurry. He quickly discovered that only these three glaze chips were added with alkali.

Jian Mo stared at the formula and suddenly realized that the glaze layer was actually a glass layer, and it seemed that it could lower the melting point of the glaze.

Glaze slurry is actually mud, which should contain quartz.

What can be reduced is actually the melting point of quartz!

It's not easy.

Jian Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead. Thinking of this was really exhausting.

Jian Mo stared at the glaze piece and sighed and said: "I just said that the glaze always felt familiar, but for a while I couldn't remember what it was. It turned out to be like glass, no wonder it was waterproof."

Qing Kuo was confused: "Glass is again What?"

Wu Jiong came in when he heard the news, looked at the excited and tired Jian Mo, and then looked at the puzzled Qing Kuo: "Speak slowly."

Jian Mo said, "Hey,"

calm down a little . , Jian Mo was a little embarrassed: "Let me organize the language first."

Qing Kuo poured him water and sighed: "You just said so many words, I didn't understand a word."

Jian Mo raised the glaze: "First Speaking of glass - glass is a transparent and hard material that can be burned with sand. "

Qing Kuo: "Sand? The sand on the river beach?"

Jian Mo nodded: "If you want to burn glass, We have to sift through it and find the sand that is as fine as possible."

Qing Kuo understood, but a new doubt arose: "What are we doing instead of making pottery?"

Jian Mo: "Glass is glass, and pottery is pottery. If the melting point of glass is low enough, we can burn them both together."

Qing Kuo hesitated: "Then what to do with it? Is it like pottery, to bake it to hold things?"

"No, no, no, it has greater uses." Jian Mo pointed to the window sealed with bark and said with bright eyes, "We can install it on the window."

Qing Kuo and Wu Jiong followed him looked towards the window.

Qing Kuo still couldn't react.

Wu Jiong asked: "Transparent material - glass is as colorless as water and as hard as pottery? Can it be placed on the window to block the wind without affecting the lighting?"

Jian Mo nodded and looked at Wu Jiong with admiration: "Yes , can you imagine?"

Wu Jiong: "I can."

Qing Kuo rubbed his forehead: "Let's talk, I can't think of it at all,"

Jian Mo said happily: "It doesn't matter, wait until we make it. You will understand after taking a look. "

Chapter 32: Visit

Except for Wu Jiong, no one in the tribe could imagine what glass was, nor could they understand Jian Mo's excitement.

Seeing this, Jian Mo simply discussed with everyone to advance the date of firing pottery, and he burned the glass for everyone to see.

The pottery is now dry, now it's time to apply another layer of glaze.

Jian Mo carefully adjusted the glaze according to the previous recipe, applied a layer to the pottery, and then waited for it to dry in the shade.

It was just the glass-burning thing that was a bit tricky—he couldn't burn glass.

He had only seen videos of glass blowing, but that was not the same thing as burning glass.

He had no idea how to make flat and transparent glass.

Qing Kuo and others came up with an idea:

"How about we make the glaze first, brush it on the pottery and send it in for firing?"

"Pour it into the kiln and bake it?"

"Should we dry it in the shade first? Otherwise, like making pottery boards, we thicken the glaze At one o'clock, make a glaze plate, dry it in the shade and then bake it?"

Qing Kuo and the others all came up with ideas and looked at Jian Mo.

Jian Mo was a little confused: "How about - we all try it?"

He had no idea at all, so he could only experiment with everyone.

Qing Kuo laughed: "Then give it a try, it's not troublesome anyway."

After all, the power of one person is still too small. If everyone works together, things will be much easier to handle.

They first went to the river beach to get sand.

There are many stones on the river beach, but there is actually very little sand.

When it comes to sifting out the usable sand, there's even less.

We sanded the sand to make a flat glaze plate and put it in a special place to dry the pottery blanks.

Jian Mo looked at the glazed boards and felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.

He has only been in the tribe for a short time, but he has brought considerable changes to the tribe.

The people of the tribe did not take him in in vain.

It takes several days for the glaze panels to dry.

It's been snowing again these days. Jian Mo and the others were grilling themselves over the fire in the tribe and chatting by the way.

The children in the tribe like Jian Mo very much and often come close to him. The fluffy kittens, puppies, foxes, etc. also like to get into his arms and let him hold them.

Jian Mo would tell them some stories when he was bored.

Whenever a story is being told, the children and adults in the tribe will come around from three levels inside and three outside, and the room will be packed to the brim.

When people are free, their thoughts tend to wander.

Jian Mo has really thought of a lot of things recently.

That night, Jian Mo hugged the giant wolf's front legs and slept soundly in bed.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and sat up suddenly.

The giant wolf's legs moved and he opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"

Jian Mo: "I just had a dream. I dreamed that when we were burning glass, we put the glass in a ceramic box and finally succeeded in burning it. The

giant wolf patted his back gently with his paw: "Are you still thinking about this?"

Jian Mo: "Yeah. But now that I think about it, it seems feasible."

The giant wolf said, "Go to sleep tomorrow. " Get up and study it later."

Jian Mo picked up the fur coat from the end of the bed: "No, I have to write it down quickly, otherwise I'm afraid I'll forget it at night."

"No, I remember.

" The movement paused, and he raised his eyes and looked into the giant wolf's eyes: "Really remember?"

The giant wolf said lightly: "I can't forget it, go to sleep."

Jian Mo then lay down again and wrapped the quilt tightly again: "Go to sleep, hey, Take advantage of the fact that the sleepiness has not completely gone away, and quickly get some sleep. "

Winter is so leisurely, and you don't do much during the day, so it's not easy to successfully accumulate sleepiness.

Jian Mo lay down, hugged the giant wolf's legs, changed his position, and soon fell asleep again.

From beginning to end, he didn't realize that if the giant wolf returned to human form, what he would hold would be the giant wolf's left hand.

The giant wolf didn't remind him. He just waited for him to sleep peacefully and wrapped the animal skin quilt around him.

Jian Mo woke up at dawn as usual.

After waking up, he still remembered the glass he dreamed about last night.

It was rare that he didn't stay in bed, so he quickly dressed and got up.

Wu Jiong was busy downstairs. He said as soon as he got downstairs: "I'm going to talk to Qing Kuo about the glass. I'll come back later to cook."

"I'll go with you." Wu Jiong put down the firewood in his hand, "Hurry up Making a pottery box?"

Jian Mo: "Yes! Do you remember?" Wu

Jiong: "I promise, let's go." Qing Kuo just got up, yawned and said after listening to Jian Mo's idea: "You can try it. Do you need to burn the pottery box before using it?" Jian Mo: "I don't think it should be used. It can be used after it is dried." Qing Kuo: "Then let's make a few pottery boxes today." Making pottery boxes is not difficult for everyone. Everyone was curious about what glass looked like, so they made a few more pottery boxes and planned to bake more glass. After the pottery box is dry, everyone mixes the fine sand and alfalfa powder, spreads it evenly into the pottery box, and then sends it to the kiln, where it is ready to be fired together with the previously made and glazed pottery base. Jian Mo was afraid that the temperature inside the kiln would not be enough, so in addition to preparing a large amount of charcoal, he also specially made a hand-cranked fan. This time the firing requires everyone to work harder, constantly shaking the fan to send air into the kiln and increase the temperature inside the kiln. This time they fired glazed pottery and glass. Qingkuo and the others did not let the entire tribe do the firing together, but chose the backbone of the tribe to do all the work. To avoid leaking secrets. Jian Mo was originally the leader. Later, everyone just asked him to direct from the side. Everyone can do the work. Jian Mo sat aside and said a little depressed: "I'm not that weak." Ye Luo touched his forehead gently: "It's not a question of whether he is weak or not. You can easily get sick if you are too tired. Take a rest. , just give us instructions." Jian Mo: "Actually, there's nothing to give. As long as you add charcoal in time and keep blowing air inside, you'll be fine." Ye Luo said "hmm" with a smile and kept shaking the fan. The large three-dimensional fan I made this time looks like a revolving door in a hotel. It is big and heavy. It is okay to shake it for a while, but it will be very tiring after shaking it for a long time. When Jian Mo tried shaking it, she felt sore from her shoulders to her elbows. Ye Luo and the others took turns shaking it, but they didn't seem to feel tired at all. You can chat while shaking it, and the fan under your hand supplies even and stable air. Jian Mo looked at them and couldn't help but sigh at the abnormal physical fitness of the orcs and sub-orcs.

For Homo sapiens who are often sub-healthy, such a strong body is really rare.

After watching for a while, Jian Mo said: "It's too late this time. Next time we want to burn the kiln, we can bring the river water over and let the river water drive the fan."

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up: " That way there is no need for people to shake it here all day long."

Jian Mo: "Yes, it is much more convenient to use water than manpower."

Orc Dejiang asked: "Like the big stone mill in the Mengshui tribe?"

Jian Mo thought about it. head.

Dejiang said: "They have been using water to push big stone mills for a long time. Unfortunately, ordinary people are not allowed to visit, and they are not willing to teach other tribes this technology. We have always wanted to learn it, but we have no chance."

Jian Mo: "I know a little bit. "Principle, it shouldn't be difficult to test."

Qing Kuo smiled and patted his shoulder: "You are really from our tribe... What do you mean by that?"

It's the first time for Jian Mo to burn glass. Know how long to burn.

However, according to common sense, the longer the firing time, the higher the temperature in the kiln, and the easier it is to succeed.

So they started burning in the morning and kept burning until the sky was full of stars at night. They didn't stop until all the charcoal was put in and burned.

After sitting beside the kiln for a whole day, everyone was covered in ashes and the smell of fireworks.

Jian Mo looked at everyone's mottled faces with hope and comforted them: "It's okay. Even if the burning is not successful this time, we can still gain experience and wait until next time."

Wu Jiong nodded beside him: "You are right. , this is a very valuable attempt."

Qing Kuo glanced at Wu Jiong and said with dignity: "Other tribes have not had this opportunity to try it. Our tribe can really make a lot of money by picking up Jian Mo."

Jian Mo is here . I almost lost myself in the compliments, and the tips of my ears turned a thin red.

They left the orcs who were patrolling today to guard outside the kiln and went back together.

As soon as they returned to the tribe, Qingkuo and the others took soap and went to the river to wash their hair and bathe.

Jian Mo's physique was not as good as theirs, so he couldn't bear the temperature, so he found some clothes, boiled water and washed them in the animal skin shed behind the house.

Jian Mo was tired and nervous today. Jian Mo was a little over-excited. After eating and washing, she couldn't fall asleep while lying on the animal skin quilt.

The giant wolf stood by and listened to his tossing and turning. After listening for a long time, he suddenly changed back into his human form, wrapped in an animal skin robe and went downstairs.

Jian Mo thought he was going to the bathroom or something and didn't care.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Wu Jiong suddenly came up with a small pot of fruit wine, put it on a charcoal basin and boiled it, and then said to Jian Mo: "Drink it, you will fall asleep after drinking it."

After the fruit wine was cooked, the contents inside The miscellaneous smell has evaporated a bit and the taste is more fragrant.

Jian Mo sniffed and muttered: "Actually, I'm not that sleepless."

Wu Jiong handed the fruit wine to him, and he finally took it, drank a small part of it, and then gave the rest to Wu Jiong : "I can't drink anymore, you drink."

The tribe's supplies were limited, and Wu Jiong didn't mind it. He took the fruit wine and drank it in two gulps.

Alcohol greatly relaxed Jian Mo's body and mind, and he quickly fell asleep holding the giant wolf's front paws.

When he got up the next day, he took a while to react and asked the giant wolf a little blankly: "Has the kiln cooled down? Did anyone look for us just now?"

The giant wolf said in a low voice: "Patrol at dawn. The orcs came and said they can open the kiln. Everyone is waiting for you."

Jian Mo immediately got up and put on his robe: "Hurry up, let's go and take a look."

They rushed to the kiln.

They were not the only ones who were anxious, everyone involved in the kiln burning came over.

Everyone was chatting around the kiln. Although they were a little anxious, they still waited patiently for Jian Mo to come over and open the kiln together.

As soon as he saw Jian Mo, Qing Kuo immediately called him: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, I'm waiting for you to take off the first piece of clay from the kiln entrance."

Jian Mo trotted over: "Here, has the temperature in the kiln dropped? "

Ye Luo: "It feels about the same as the temperature of the kiln in the past. Maybe the weather is cold and the temperature has dropped quickly. It's only a little warm now. I guess the pottery inside is not too hot."

Everyone scrambled to seal the kiln entrance . After removing the wet kiln mud, Dejiang went in and tested the air and temperature inside the kiln. Seeing that there was not much danger, he waved behind him to indicate that everyone could enter.

Jian Mo and the others couldn't wait to squeeze in.

The temperature in the kiln is actually quite high, a bit like a sauna, but still bearable.

Jian Mo put on animal skin gloves, took off the nearest pottery, and looked at it carefully.

The pottery is a shiny yellow color as a whole, which is much better than the pottery they fired before, which was off-white due to insufficient temperature.

Jian Mo looked at it and felt that these pottery didn't seem to be much different from the modern pottery on earth. At most, the shape of the pottery was slightly different because of the different aesthetics.

It's great to be able to make such progress in such a short period of time.

Seeing that he kept staring, Qing Kuo asked, "What's wrong?"

Jian Mo said, "The glaze is fired very well. The smooth appearance is much better than before."

He tapped with his fingers, and the animal skin came into contact with the pottery. Makes a dull sound.

Qingkuo flicked the pottery, and the joints made direct contact with the pottery, making a crisp sound of "dang".

At this moment, Qing Kuo nodded with satisfaction, retracted his hand, held Jian Mo's shoulders and urged: "You can get an overview of the pottery at a glance. Let's take a closer look later. Let's take a look at the glass you mentioned first!"

Jian Mo His eyes glanced down: "I've already seen the glaze plate, but it doesn't seem to be too successful."

Wu Jiong beside him picked up a small piece of the glaze plate.

The glaze plate was burned to pieces, but the piece Wu Jiong picked up had already been sintered.

This is a piece of translucent yellow glass, about the size of a palm, and its gem-like texture can be seen even in a dim cave dwelling.

Qing Kuo reached out to take it and said while holding his breath: "Is this glass? It's so beautiful!"

Jian Mo: "The transparency is not high enough, it would be better if it was more transparent."

Qing Kuo passed the glass to Di Ya to see: "This is already That's enough!"

Di Ya passed it to Ye Luo after reading it.

Ye Luo looked at the glass carefully: "It's a very good thing. If I didn't tell people, people from other tribes would never know that this glass was made by burning it."

Wu Jiong reminded: "Everyone remember to keep it a secret."

Everyone present agreed.

Dejiang said: "When we are making pottery and firing kilns in the future, we will have to send people to guard the area."

Ye Luo: "There are no outsiders there, so don't use it for the time being?"

Dejiang: "There are also curious guys in this tribe, maybe someday. If the secret is leaked, it would be safer to send someone to guard it."

Everyone looked at Wu Jiong, and Wu Jiong said: "Send someone to guard it when cooking and burning, but not at other times, so as to save manpower."

He said, but everyone had no objection.

The glass was passed around, and everyone was very satisfied with the fired glass.

Qing Kuo: "Stop looking, let's quickly see if the glass in the pottery box has been fired successfully! That's the key."

So, everyone cleared out the pottery around them and went to look at the pottery box.

As soon as the pottery box was opened, Jian Mo knew that this was definitely a successful attempt.

It's just that maybe because of the different placement positions, the temperature inside the pottery box is also different, and the size of the sintered glass inside the box is different.

In some pottery boxes, the fired glass is as big as a 16-karat book, some are only as big as a palm, and the rest is still sand.

The difference is that because there is only sand and pottery inside the pottery box, it is extremely translucent after being fired. It looks like crystal, with no variegated colors, and a slight yellowish tint at most.

Jian Mo looked at the familiar glass and couldn't tell what he was feeling.

If these glasses were placed on the earth, they would probably be worthless waste. Putting it here means that their technology has reached a new level.

It may also mean that the civilization of the orcs has entered a new stage.

He doesn't know whether this is good or bad, but changes must exist, and a civilization cannot stand still forever.

Wu Jiong and Ye Luo stood on both sides of Jian Mo and patted his shoulders respectively.

Everyone else's attention was on the glass.

Qing Kuo looked at the pottery box, sniffed, and looked at it intoxicatedly: "It's so successful, it's like a miracle."

Di Ya hugged him: "Yeah."

Dejiang: "We can just put the pottery box away next time Maybe it will be more successful if you burn them on charcoal. It's really not good to stack them like this."

Qing Kuo: "Don't put the pottery next time, just burn the glass one layer at a time. It's better than this time."

Dejiang: "We can burn out the charcoal as soon as possible. When we have enough charcoal, we can start burning the glass."

Qingkuo nodded: "Yes! We don't need to dry the sand in the shade. We can just make the pottery box. . I will take some time to fish for saltwater in the next two days. I will bring a basket and pick up the saltwater directly from the bottom of the salt lake. It is too cold. "

You two very enterprising people will soon tell each other. " The next work was decided, and others present had no objections.

It's rare to burn out glass, so you have to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

After the meal, they cleared out all the pottery and glass from the kiln.

Due to technical reasons, there were still a lot of broken embryos, but the total number of embryos sent in for burning was larger. In the end, they got 203 pieces of various pottery and 25 pieces of usable glass.

After soliciting everyone's opinions, Qing Kuo first distributed five pieces of glass and ten pieces of pottery to Jian Mo.

Jian Mo didn't refuse and took it home happily.

These five pieces of glass are as big as a 16-karat book.

Wu Jiong thought Jian Mo would make something else, so Jian Mo pulled him and immediately made several grooved wooden frames and embedded glass inside them to make simple glass windows.

Then, Jian Mo replaced the bark with glass windows and carefully installed them on the windows upstairs and downstairs.

The light shines through the slightly yellowish glass, making the whole room brighter. The clean and tidy room looks extremely warm.

Jian Mo looked at the room with satisfaction: "I've long felt that the window was awkward, but now it's finally fine."

Wu Jiong looked at him, his Adam's apple twitching.

Jian Mo wondered: "What's wrong? Don't you like the glass window? Do you think it's not strong enough? It's okay. It's fixed with wood. It shouldn't fall off."

Wu Jiong's voice was low: "No, you decorated it very well."

Jian Mo said happily: "That's right, I am well-informed, and I still have this aesthetic taste."

Jian Mo felt that Wu Jiong was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange for a while, and he was about to ask in detail.

Suddenly, Jiang Xing, a child from the tribe, ran in from outside with a bunch of children and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother Jian Mo, the clan leader, the clan leader of the Mengshui tribe is here. De Jiang asked you to come out."

The children looked at Jian Mo. He and Wu Jiong stood side by side in front of the glass window, curiously looking at the glass window and then at them.

It's just that there is business now, and the children have held back and didn't ask.

Jian Mo's hand stopped immediately, he looked up at Wu Jiong, and said inexplicably: "The chief of the Mengshui tribe? We have no friendship with them, right? What are they doing here?"

Wu Jiong: "Maybe they heard about the pottery and glass. "

Jian Mo frowned: "The news is too fast. We just found out. Could it be that they put an undercover agent in our tribe?"

Wu Jiong: "You will know if you go out and come to fight. "

Jian Mo pushed his shoulder: "Let's go and have a look with you."

Chapter 33

As soon as Anesthetic and Wu Jiong went downstairs, Jian Mo saw a group of people coming from a distance.

The two people at the head were very tall and had very fair skin. They were wearing animal skin robes similar to Greek robes, with belts around their waists. The waists made them look taller and longer, making them look particularly like models.

People from the Riverside Tribe generally don't dress so delicately.

Jian Mo knew by looking at their attire that those two people must be from the Mengshui tribe.

When the others got closer, Jian Mo discovered that the man at the front was indeed Yun Long, the patriarch of the Mengshui tribe.

Although he had no direct friendship with Yun Luan, he had met him at a hunting conference before and knew such a person.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong stopped in front of the house, waiting for them to come.

A group of people from Yundu quickly walked up to the two of them.

They looked at Wu Jiong's house.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the windows of the stone house are equipped with glass baffles, which look particularly conspicuous.

Yun Nong smiled, showing his white and neat teeth, and said, "Wu Jiong, your home has become really beautiful. Doctor Jian Mo, long time no see."

Jian Mo nodded: "Clan leader Yun Nong."

Wu Jiong greeted: "Fortunately, come in and sit down."

Yun Luan smiled and said, "When I take a second look, it's the first time I've seen such a window. It's so beautiful."

Wu Jiong looked at him: "Do you want to go around the house? ?"

Yun Nong smiled: "If you don't mind, I won't be polite."

Wu Jiong led them to the side: "There's nothing to be polite about."

Jian Mo has been in this world for a long time, and he usually renovates the front of the house. Behind the house.

They live here day and night and don't feel that the house has changed.

Yun Rong and others had not seen his house for a long time, and only when they suddenly came over did they realize how much this house that had not changed in nearly a hundred years had changed.

Not to mention the front of the house is a lot tidier, and some plants are planted on the side of the house. An animal shed was added to the corner of the back of the house, and several pack animals were kept in it. A wooden frame was tied to the other corner, and animal skins were stretched on it to make a small shed for bathing.

Behind them, the Winged Beast was kept under a tree by them and was sleeping.

When he saw someone coming, the flying winged beast raised his eyelids, then continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

Behind the flying-winged beast, there are also various plants planted.

Perhaps because of the presence of the winged beasts, the snow had been swept away, exposing bare plant stems.

There were actually plants on the mountain. Because they were planted neatly and the soil was turned up, Yun Luan and the others knew at a glance that they were planted by humans.

Jian Mo walked beside him and saw everyone's surprised expressions. He realized later that the Wu Jiong family was indeed different.

If you didn't look at other houses in the tribe and just looked at the animals raised and vegetables grown in front and back of Wujiong's house, you might not feel that it was a house in the orc world.

This house is so pastoral.

Yun Nong pointed to the drainage ditch dug behind the house and said, "You have taken care of it too neatly. You even dug a ditch. Where does this ditch drain to?"

Wu Jiong: "In the river."

Yun Nong looked at the ditch and clicked his tongue. He said twice: "There are also stones on the edge of the ditch, which is really exquisite."

Wu Jiong showed them around, invited them into the house, and took them to a corner of the house to sit down.

There was a small wooden table in the corner of the room by the window, with animal skin cushions placed on both sides of the table.

This is also the change brought about by Jian Mo.

Originally, Wu Jiong's house seemed empty except for the fire pit and wooden shelves.

Jian Mo was not used to sitting by the fire pit all the time, so Wu Jiong made a small wooden table according to his description in his free time, and Jian Mo contributed a few animal skin cushions. Sometimes the two of them would sit in front of the table. Have some tea and chat.

Today Wu Jiong invited them to come and sit down. Yun Liao looked at this small table, looked at it again and again, and turned to ask Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo, is this something you brought from your original tribe? "

Jian Mo nodded.

Yun Rong wanted to say something more, but Wu Jiong interrupted him: "Yun Rong, what's the matter with you coming here this time?"

Yun Rong smiled and said, "I remembered that I haven't visited your tribe for a long time, so I came over to take a look. By the way, I I brought something for you."

Yun Rong said, taking out a small delicate bag wrapped in leaves and handing it to Jian Mo: "Dr. Jian Mo, didn't you say we found some anesthetic last time? I've got something similar, see if you can use it. "

Anesthetic?" Jian Mo curled his fingers and reached out to take the package: "Drugs similar to anesthetics?"

Yun Nong: "Yes, after eating this, humans or animals will fall asleep and be unable to wake up. It will take half a day or a day. Wake up on your own. I think it's very similar to the anesthetic you mentioned before."

Jian Mo was invited by the Mengshui Tribe to be a doctor for a few days at the hunting conference.

In his spare time, he did talk a lot about medical matters to the people of the Mengshui tribe, including anesthetics.

Yun You said this, this thing does look like an anesthetic.

Jian Mo opened the small bag and found a bag of dark dry stuff inside. Because it had turned into powder, he couldn't tell what it was.

He fanned it with his hand and smelled it carefully. He could smell a bitter and slightly sweet smell.

This packet of anesthetic is supposed to be plant-based.

Jian Mo raised his eyes and asked: "After taking this medicine, do you feel any discomfort after waking up?"

Yun Rong: "A few people who have taken it said it is a bit like the drowsiness after drinking too much fruit wine, but after sleeping for a day or two, it will be better. " Okay. I looked at it and it seemed like nothing happened. "

That is indeed a better anesthetic."

Jian Mo carefully rewrapped the anesthetic and asked, "How do I want to change it?"

Yun Rong smiled heartily and said, "What to change it for? The quantity is not much. You need it, so we sent it to you. You can just change it." Just take it."

Jian Mo didn't know whether to accept it or not and turned to look at Wu Jiong.

Wu Jiong nodded slightly.

Jian Mo then thanked and accepted it.

Yun Duan sat across from him, clearly seeing their interaction, and said with a smile: "We will continue to pay attention when we go hunting and gathering, and we will bring this anesthetic to you next time we see it."

Jian Mo: " That's too hard on you."

Yun Lou: "It's okay. If you feel bad, you can come and get it from our tribe. The orcs in our tribe say they miss you and want to learn how to cook with you again.

" I had never had much dealings with the leader of the Mengshui Tribe before. When we had a serious chat for the first time, we discovered that the leader was extremely talkative and liked to laugh.

While chatting, Yun Hou was full of praise for Jian Mo, saying that he had heard of the pottery he made and that his skills were really amazing.

He also said that if Jian Mo were from their Mengshui tribe, he would laugh out of his dreams.

Even though Jian Mo was not very good at interpreting people's implication, he realized that Yun Luan was poaching him.

Wu Jiong stood next to him with a straight face, and didn't hesitate to fight back Yun Luan's words.

Yun Luan's attitude remained unchanged and he kept smiling, as if he didn't feel Wu Jiong's cold face at all.

Yun Luan and the others drank a few cups of tea, and after noon, when the sun set to the west, they planned to go back.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong sent them off together.

Jian Mo didn't want to owe the Mengshui tribe a favor, so when she gave it to them, she forced a pair of glazed clay pots as a return gift.

Yun Rong didn't want to accept it at first, but couldn't stand Jian Mo's insistence, but finally accepted it, and smiled and asked Jian Mo to go to the Mengshui tribe when he was free.

If you find the road too difficult, people from the Mengshui tribe can come and pick you up.

Wu Jiong's face became even colder and he asked Jian Mo to stay where he was. He sent Yun Rong and the two of them outside the tribe.

Jian Mo nodded. He didn't want to go further in the cold weather.

After Wu Jiong and the others walked away, Qing Kuo came over and said to Jian Mo: "Don't look at Yun Long looking like this. His beast shape is that of a giant armored beast, with thick leather armor and curved fangs." , The belly can almost hang to the ground."

Jian Mo looked at Qing Kuo without knowing why.

He knew that Yun Luo's animal form was a giant armored beast, and he had seen what a giant armored beast looked like. There was indeed a slight contrast between Yun Luo's animal form and the human form, but: "What's wrong?"

Qing Kuo looked at his confused look, Suddenly he sighed and patted his shoulder: "It's okay."

Bai Xianyun wore such a sexy bag and brought such a handsome orc over.

After saying that, Qing Kuo left.

Jian Mo was puzzled: "Why are you looking like this?"

He turned to look at Ye Luo behind him.

Ye Luo smiled and touched his forehead: "I still don't understand anything."

Jian Mo was even more puzzled: "What don't you understand?"

Ye Luo: "It's nothing. You can take out the anesthetic that Chief Yunlong gave you just now. See?"

While drinking tea, Qing Kuo and Ye Luo were also there, but they didn't talk much.

Jian Mo and Ye Luo knew each other well: "We are in the house, I will go in and get it for you."

Ye Luo followed him into the house: "I seem to know what this anesthetic is made of."

Jian Mo: "Really?!"

What if? Ye Luo knows, that would be great!

Dealing with people from the Mengshui tribe is really stressful, but dealing with Ye Luo has no such scruples at all.

Jian Mo quickly took out the leaf bag: "Take a look!"

Ye Luo was not polite. He took the leaf bag and opened it. He pinched the dark dried herbs inside, rubbed them, and smelled them carefully.

His face was very solemn. After identifying it for a long time, he pinched one of the slivers and put it on his tongue to taste it carefully.

Jian Mo hurriedly poured him a glass of water and said, "Be careful, don't get knocked down by the medicine."

Ye Luo rinsed his mouth with water: "It's okay, I know it well."

Ye Luo checked carefully for a while, and then said to Jian Mo Said: "This thing should be a kind of moss. I tasted a faint smell of moss. This moss smell is quite special, but I'm not entirely sure."

Jian Mo immediately said: "In what season does moss grow? We can collect it. Come back and compare. "

Ye Luo: "It should be there this season. It seems to be growing on the rocks in the Leigong Mountain pond. I saw it in autumn, but I'm not sure if it's growing now."

Wu Jiong saw off the guests from outside . Walking in, he heard Ye Luo's words and interjected: "Leigong Lake in Leigong Mountain?"

Ye Luo raised his head and smiled: "Yes."

Jian Mo looked at this and then that: "You all know the specific place. "

Wu Jiong: "I didn't notice it before, but I remembered it as soon as Ye Luo said it."

Ye Luo added: "The water in Leigongtan is different from the water in other places. It is very warm there, and the water will turn white in winter. Fog. There is a lot of moss growing on the stones around it. The moss given by the Mengshui tribe should be one of them. I have gone there to eat moss before and smelled something similar, but I have never tasted it. "

Wu Jiong nodded: "Let's go take a look."

Ye Luo: "Let's go tomorrow."

Jian Mo agreed: "Okay! Is Lei Gongtan far away?"

Ye Luo smiled: "Follow the tribe. The distance up to the south canyon is about the same, but in another direction."

Jian Mo: "Then we have to leave early tomorrow. I'll make some food and we'll take it out for lunch."

Ye Luo: "I'll see you tomorrow. "

Chapter 34 Old Lion

Anesthesia is really important to doctors.

Jian Mo kept thinking about this matter and woke up early the next morning.

When he moved, the giant wolf gently placed its paws on him: "It's not yet dawn."

Jian Mo turned to look at the window.

The bark windows were replaced with glass windows, so you can clearly see the scene outside. The sky outside was gray and indeed not bright.

Jian Mo moved in bed: "I can't sleep

anymore." Giant Wolf: "Stay in bed for a while longer."

Jian Mo raised his big paw with difficulty: "No, I'll get up and make some dumplings. I'll invite Ye later." Come over and eat."

I still have hairy root starch at home, although it's not much. It's okay to roll out some dumpling wrappers and wrap a few dumplings.

The giant wolf put his paw next to him: "We'll see if we can collect more moss that Ye Luo mentioned."

Jian Mo: "I think so too. It's such a cold day. Thank you for Ye Luo's trip with us."

The giant wolf moved away a little: "Yeah."

Jian Mo got up, and the giant wolf also got up, changed back into human form, got dressed, and went to feed the beasts of burden and flying wings.

Jian Mo stayed at home and rolled the dough.

The food in winter was not very rich, so he cut off a piece of animal meat, took two wooden roots, peeled off the skin and chopped them into small pieces, added pickles and spices, and mixed them into fillings.

We don't have enough supplies, so we can't come up with any tricks, so we can only deal with it and take a bite.

After daybreak, Ye Luo came over: "You asked the clan leader to ask me to come over for dinner? That's too polite."

Jian Mo raised his head and smiled: "It's too cold, I thought it would be troublesome to make breakfast, so why don't you come over and eat together?" "

Ye Luo: "What did you do? It's so delicious."

Jian Mo: "Dumplings!"

Ye Luo looked into the room curiously: "What new food is this?"

Jian Mo asked him to come in and ask. You'll know after you taste it."

The three of them sat down at the small table.

Jian Mo brought out a large pottery bowl with dumplings, and put a large stack of roasted meat on the table: "Eat it while it's hot."

The outer shell of the dumplings wrapped in starch was translucent, and the fillings inside could be seen.

Pick up the fallen leaves and take a bite. The flexible skin, diced meat and wood root are mixed together, making it particularly delicious. The pickled vegetables bring a fermented flavor, making the dumplings richer in taste.

Ye Luo praised: "As expected of you, the food you make is particularly delicious."

Jian Mo smiled mysteriously: "Take another sip of soup."

Ye Luo picked up the bowl and took a sip, and was captivated by the delicious taste. : "It's delicious. What's in the soup? Fried bird eggs?"

Jian Mo nodded. He stirred the bird eggs into egg liquid, fried them on the stone plate, and then cut them into shreds, so the cooked dumpling soup was especially white and delicious: "In addition to fried eggs, there are other things."

Ye Luo smiled: "Then I can't taste it."

Jian Mo looked at Wu Jiong: "Have you tasted it?"

Wu Jiong: "Jiao Rui." Ye

Luo : "How can it be pepper pistil? Aren't pepper pistil spicy?"

Jian Mo stretched out his hand and gestured: "I put a little bit in it, so I can't taste the spiciness inside, but it can remove the fishy smell and make the soup extra delicious."

Ye Luo Hearing this, he took another sip of soup from the bowl and tasted it carefully: "It's really true."

After having a delicious breakfast, they packed up and got ready to set off.

The road is too far, and the snow outside has not melted, so it is not easy to walk.

Jian Mo said to Ye Luo: "Let's take the Winged Beast."

Ye Luo looked at Wu Jiong: "The Winged Beast is carrying the three of us? Can it carry us?"

They were walking towards the back of the house, and the Winged Beast listened. Their voices came up to them, and before Jian Mo could answer, the flying-winged beast, who understood what he heard, looked over and shouted loudly: "Chirp!"

Without Jian Mo's translation, Ye Luo understood that the flying-winged beast was saying it could carry it. .

He smiled and stretched out his hand to lightly touch the wing of the flying winged beast: "I know."

Jian Mo: "Jiujiu is very easy to carry. It's easy to carry Wu Jiong and me on its back, and it's easy to carry two big baskets of hair roots. You don't necessarily have two. " The basket has heavy hair. "

The three of them came over together. The winged beast knew it was about to go out, so he stretched out his neck and asked Wu Jiong to put a rope on it.

After the rope was tied, it squatted down, and when the three people climbed on its back, it flew eastward under Wu Jiong's command.

Before reaching the place, Jian Mo saw from a distance that there were dark clouds on the top of a certain mountain ahead.

Lightning poked out of the clouds and struck the mountain tops like whips.

Needless to say, Wu Jiong knew that the mountain in front of him was Leigong Mountain.

No, it might be Thunder Mountain. He silently corrected the orcish language he translated before in his mind.

The Winged Beast was struck by lightning and is still afraid of lightning.

Seeing Wu Jiong pulling the reins to go there, the flying-winged beast hesitated and turned around: "Huh?"

Wu Jiong patted its right front wing: "Fly lower, it's okay."

The flying-winged beast was a little scared, but still behaved obediently. Fly down.

When they got close to the mountain forest, the flying-winged beast looked at the lightning in front of it and refused to fly forward.

Wu Jiong did not force it, let it land on the ground, took the reins, and let it move freely.

The three of them walked up the hillside.

The temperature in Leigong Mountain is obviously higher than outside. There is no snow on the mountain, the grass is still green, and some trees have grown green leaves.

As Jian Mo walked up, he found several kinds of edible wild vegetables, and put them all in baskets.

He had recently been worried about not getting enough vitamins and fiber, but now that was the solution.

The three of them climbed the mountain all the way, and Jian Mo soon saw the waterfall.

Ye Luo said, "It rains a lot here, and there is water in several ditches on the mountain, so there is a lot of moss."

Jian Mo turned to look at the moss growing on the trees and nodded in understanding.

After walking for a while, Jian Mo heard the rumble of the waterfall falling into the pool.

Ye Luo said: "Leigong Lake is ahead."

Jian Mo asked: "There can't be electricity in the water, right?"

Ye Luo: "How can there be electricity? Just because it is the largest water pool on Leigong Mountain, everyone gives it It's named Lei Gongtan. But there are thunders here often, and no one likes to come here."

Ye Luo seemed to be familiar with every place in the tribe. He led the way and quickly reached the Lei Gongtan. On the stone.

This relatively large pool is covered with various stones, large and small. Due to water vapor and temperature, the stones are covered with plants.

At a glance, Jian Mo could distinguish at least seventeen or eight kinds of plants.

Ye Luo searched for a while on the stone and shoveled down a small piece of moss: "The anesthetic the Mengshui Tribe gave you should be this small piece of moss."

Jian Mo looked over and saw that the moss was about the size of a palm and looked like pine needles, except that the surface was not waxy but hairy.

He gently pinched off a piece of moss, crushed it and put it under his nose to smell it. Sure enough, he could smell a bitter smell, similar to the anesthetic given to him by the Mengshui tribe.

Ye Luo: "I previously observed that fish would turn their stomachs after eating this moss. I thought it was poisonous, so I never dared to pick it. When I smelled it yesterday, I remembered it."

Jian Mo: "You are so awesome, you have strong observation skills." "He has a good memory and quick reactions."

He is simply an encyclopedia in the tribe.

Ye Luo smiled and said, "I usually like to think about these things when I have nothing to do."

There was a lot of this kind of moss growing on the rocks in the pool.

The three of them shoveled up the soil underneath and carefully put it into the baskets. Soon each of them filled half of the baskets.

Jian Mo was not sure whether this moss was the moss given by the Mengshui tribe and how effective it was. When he saw that he had almost collected it, he said, "Let's go here today and come back to collect it next time we need it."

Ye Luo said: " If we are not in a hurry, we can catch some more fish. There is a kind of translucent fish in this pool. It is very fat and not fishy. It is sizzling and oily when fried. It is especially delicious when mixed with stems

. , Jian Mo couldn't move at all and readily followed the advice.

The water in the pool is a bit deep, and catching fish with bare hands is not that easy.

But this is not a problem for Wu Jiong, who is an orc, and Ye Luo, a sub-orc who can pop out sharp claws.

Ye Luo is a sub-orc similar to a clouded leopard. He has very strong reflexes and can catch fish with ease.

Jian Mo saw that he had almost every fish in his claws, and she understood a little bit why he could often go out alone for outdoor activities.

With this fighting power, even if he is just a sub-orc, the forest should not be too dangerous for him.

There were so many good things in Leigong Mountain. They stayed here for a day, and when they went back in the evening, all the baskets on their backs were full.

There was no moss left on the leaves, only small fish and wild vegetables.

Jian Mo was particularly grateful to him and dragged him back to Wu Jiong's house for dinner.

The fried fish is indeed delicious, fresh and tender. It is great to eat on an empty stomach, and the taste is invincible when dipped in pepper and salt powder.

After the meal, Jian Mo discussed with Wu Jiong: "I don't know if the moss I collected is poisonous or whether it will harm the body. I want to try it with a small beast."

Their beast gave birth to six cubs. , two males and four females, all have been weaned, Jian Mo feels that there will not be much problem in using them for some animal experiments.

They are all beasts and should have some reference value.

Wu Jiong: "What do you want me to do?"

Jian Mo thought for a while: "Just observe with me. There may be something I can't notice. After feeding the beasts with moss, we can share the observation results together. ."

Wu Jiong nodded in agreement.

Jian Mo picked out two beasts of burden, a male and a female, shaved off the hair on their foreheads and marked them, and then fed them moss when all the feeding conditions were the same.

The moss collected from the fallen leaves can indeed act as an anesthetic.

After the two beasts of burden have finished eating, they will probably sleep for a day and a night.

After feeding them fresh moss and resting for two days, Jian Mo fed them dry moss.

This time, they were fed dry moss given by the Mengshui tribe and moss dried by themselves.

Based on the observation results, Jian Mo found that the effect of dried moss was better than that of fresh moss. There was not much difference between the moss they collected and the moss given by the Mengshui tribe.

However, the taste of the two dried moss was different. Jian Mo guessed that the moss from the Mengshui Tribe had been soaked in other liquids.

The Mengshui tribe may have specially dealt with it to prevent them from recognizing the type of moss. Unexpectedly, they met Ye Luo, who was well-informed and attentive.

After Jian Mo figured it out, he couldn't help feeling that there were some opportunities that he couldn't even guard against.

Jian Mo experimented several times, and the two beasts of burden could wake up in time every time.

He observed their growth and saw that they were not much different from their littermates.

Since moss will not have any obvious impact on young animals, it means that they are relatively safe. As long as they are not used frequently, there should not be any major problems.

After confirming that there was no problem, Jian Mo asked the people in the tribe to let the wind go, saying that if someone had a big wound, he could come to him for treatment.

Nowadays, anesthesia is available, which makes treatment more convenient.

If you have a huge abscess on your back like the little orc Taiyan, you can come to him for surgery.

Because it is still in the experimental stage, the fee can be lower.

Jian Mo preferred to treat people from other tribes first. Unexpectedly, on the first day when the news was released, an old orc from the tribe pulled Hongqiu, who had been scratched by Jian Mo, over and said he wanted to treat his teeth.

Jian Mo was surprised: "Tooth treatment?"

The old orc Jiangtou said, "Yes, I have had toothache for many years. It hurts every now and then. I don't even dare to use this half of my mouth to eat."

Hong Qiu said next to him: " Jiang Tou wanted to see you before, but I heard that tooth extraction is very painful, so I never dared to come. Now that we have anesthesia, does it not hurt anymore?"

Jiang Tou looked at Jian Mo with hope: "Does it hurt?"

Jian Mo? This was the first time I met an orc who asked for tooth extraction as soon as he came up. He said cautiously: "Let me check the situation first."

Jiangtou: "I will turn into an animal shape and show it to you, right?"

Jiangtou said, turning around, Without hesitation, he transformed back into his beast form.

He is also a feline creature, looking like a giant lion, only his fur is gray and longer.

As soon as he changed back to his animal form, Jiang Tou lay down, opened his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's this damn tooth that has been tormenting me for more than ten years. My face has been tortured into a big and a small one!"

Jane Mo carefully observed the big lion in front of him and found that the muscles on one side of his face were particularly developed, while the other side was a bit atrophied, and it did not look good.

When Jian Mo saw his mouth, he saw a rotten tooth and other ulcers in his mouth.

This situation -

why does it look like stomatitis?

But I'm not sure, there's no way to test it here.

I feel like it may be a food problem or a virus problem. In any case, the rotten teeth will have to be extracted.

After checking, Jian Mo asked: "Do you like eating meat? Don't like eating stems, wild vegetables, berries and the like?"

Jiangtou said angrily, "I'm single, and I can't finish the meat I'm assigned every time."

Jian Mo looked down at him and sighed slightly: "If you can't finish the meat, you have to eat other foods, otherwise it will be unhealthy. Wait a minute, I will rinse you with salt water first and see where you hurt. "

After Jian Mo said that, he turned around to find the salt water. Wu Jiong had already handed the salt water to his hand.

In order to ensure safety, Wu Jiong would be at hand to help Jian Mo when he was being treated.

Jian Mo smiled at Wu Jiong, took the light salt water filled with animal urine, and carefully rinsed the big lion.

The big lion's teeth all have different types of damage, and the most serious one is already empty. No wonder it hurts when he uses it.

With such a serious injury, if food is accidentally stuffed inside, it will definitely become inflamed.

After rinsing, Jian Mo gently tapped the big lion's teeth with a small wooden stick and said, "We really need to pull out the teeth. This one and this one have to be pulled out."

The big lion had no objection and said with a big tongue: "Get it out now. "

Jian Mo: "I'll give you some anesthetic first, and we'll take it out when you fall asleep."

Jian Mo took the powdered anesthetic, estimated the weight of the big lion, and mixed him a glass of water.

The big lion didn't hesitate, rolled the water with his tongue and drank it.

Within a few breaths, he fell asleep and his tongue fell out.

Hongqiu rubbed his arms beside him: "Is this okay?"

Jian Mo: "Test how deep he is sleeping first."

Jian Mo poked him gently, then slowly increased the force, but the big lion showed no sign of waking up. .

After confirming that he was asleep and would not wake up for a while, Jian Mo asked Hongqiu to go out: "We are going to extract his teeth. You go out and wait outside."

Jian Mo put on the mask and animal skin gloves that had been boiled and disinfected, and took the Wooden pliers prepared to extract teeth of a large lion.

Pulling out a tooth is really a laborious task. Even if he pulled it out in the direction of the tooth's growth, he still couldn't pull it out successfully for a long time. The sweat on his forehead started to break out first.

Wu Jiong saw this: "I'll do it."

Jian Mo took a breath and said, "You put on gloves and a mask first, it's safer."

Wu Jiong nodded, put on the gloves and mask, and took the wooden pliers from Jian Mo's hand.

The wooden pliers were very difficult to use in Jian Mo's hands, but they seemed to be tamed in Wu Jiong's hands.

He pulled out the big lion's rotten tooth in a few strokes.

Jian Mo clamped his rotten teeth to observe.

The part of the rotten tooth buried in the flesh is at least three centimeters long, but the root is also half empty, and it is exuding the smell of decay.

If it weren't for the anesthetic, it might be really difficult to handle.

Shengba suffered too much.

Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong to pull out the remaining tooth, which was also almost rotten, and then rinse it.

Once the tooth is extracted, it should not hurt as often. As for healing, it can only rely on the strong physique of the orcs.

He didn't have any medicine at hand, so it was difficult to make other treatments.

The physique of the orcs is indeed unusual. The sleeping time is much shorter than that of the beasts of burden, and they wake up in the afternoon.

After waking up, Jiang Tou licked the empty place: "It really doesn't hurt anymore."

Jian Mo quickly stopped him: "Don't lick it. It's best not to use the area where the tooth was extracted in the past two days. In two days, It should be better when it grows up."

Jiangtou promised, "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo."

Jian Mo raised the basket on the side and asked, "Eat less meat these two days and eat this basket of wild vegetables." "It's good for your body."

Jian Mo picked out many types of wild vegetables, most of which have anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties and should have a lot of vitamins.

Jiang Tou looked at it and his face fell: "It's all so painful."

Jian Mo looked at the old big cat and nodded: "It's good for curing diseases. After eating it, your toothache may be better." "

Jiang Tou: "What if it doesn't work?"

Jian Mo smiled: "Then come over to my side and I will give you two more baskets of wild vegetables."

Jiang Tou suddenly shuddered when he looked at the young and handsome Jian Mo. , there was a bit of an ominous premonition in my heart, it seemed that I had to eat wild vegetables honestly.

Otherwise, I always feel like something will happen.

Chapter 35:

After having his teeth extracted, the furry orc Jiangtou strictly followed Jian Mo's instructions, ate wild vegetables honestly, and ran over for inspection at dawn the next day.

When Jian Mo yawned and went downstairs, Jiang Tou was already waiting downstairs with Hongqiu.

As soon as he saw Jian Mo, Jiang Tou trotted up excitedly: "Dr. Jian Mo, the wound from my tooth extraction has been closed. I licked it today and it didn't hurt at all!"

Jian Mo subconsciously avoided it and waited until he reacted. Asked: "Is there any discomfort?"

Jiang Tou: "Absolutely not! After the tooth stopped hurting, I didn't even have a headache. If I had known that tooth extraction was so useful, I should have come to you to have it extracted a long time ago."

Jane Mo found a mask from the shelf and said while putting it on: "There was no anesthesia before, so tooth extraction was very painful."

Jiang Tou: "No matter how painful it is, it only hurts for a while. You don't know, when my tooth hurts, I can't sleep at all. You can only drink ice water all night long, which is a shame."

Jian Mo motioned him to go to the yard, where the light was better: "Let me see how your teeth are healing." When

they got to the yard, Jian Mo asked Jiang. Sitting on a small wooden stool, he raised his head and opened his mouth.

Two of Jiangtou's four canine teeth were pulled out, leaving two dark holes.

After careful inspection, Jian Mo found that the area where the tooth was extracted had indeed healed well, the mucous membrane had begun to grow, and there was no sign of redness, swelling or inflammation.

It may have something to do with Jiangtou eating less meat and more vegetables, taking vitamin supplements and not licking the affected area.

After Jian Mo checked it out, he said to Jiang Tou: "Change back to your animal form, and I'll take a look again."

Jiang Tou agreed, turned around without hesitation, and turned into a huge gray-haired animal. The lion turned around and looked at Jian Mo eagerly.

Jian Mo: "Open your mouth wide like you did just now."

The big lion mumbled: "Roar."

In its animal form, the big lion's mouth was larger, and Jian Mo could see it more clearly.

After examination, he found that the mucous membrane deep in the big lion's mouth had also recovered a lot.

It's probably not stomatitis.

Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief, stomatitis is a very complicated disease, and it is very troublesome to cure it. The level of science and technology here should not be enough to treat similar diseases.

Jiangtou may have been deficient in vitamins for a long time and did not have good oral hygiene habits, so he developed tooth decay, which further led to inflammation and damage.

In this case, tooth extraction can provide good relief.

After checking, Jian Mo said: "It's okay, the healing is very good. You can continue to eat wild vegetables after you go back today. If the situation does not become serious, just come to me the day after tomorrow. If the situation becomes serious, you can come to me at any time."

Big Lion Nod seriously.

Jian Mo: "Okay, let's go back."

The big lion carried Jian Mo on his back and transformed back into human form. He picked up the animal skin coat that fell on the ground and put it on: "Then let's go back."

Jian Mo waved his hand.

Jiang Tou and Hongqiu left Jian Mo's house together and walked home.

Jian Mo stood in the yard and could feel Jiang Tou's happiness from his back.

The old orc pulled his old friend forward. As he walked, his steps were so brisk that he almost jumped up. He looked almost like a child.

The tribe burned two more crops of glass, and after a vote, everyone was allowed to exchange supplies for the tribe's glass.

Therefore, most people now have glass windows.

The morning sun and clouds are reflected on the glass windows, like decorative paintings in orange tones.

Jian Mo looked at these stone houses and glass windows, and smelled the smoke coming from the tribe, and felt calmer than ever before.

Tribe is great.

After getting the anesthetic, Jiangtou was not the only one who came to Jian Mo.

The lifespan of orcs and sub-orcs is particularly long, generally reaching three hundred years.

As we get older, we have more hidden health problems. Many times, we have no other choice but to endure it.

Now that Jian Mo is here, many people are willing to bring some supplies to him to relieve their pain.

Jian Mo didn't refuse either. Whether they were people from his own tribe or other tribes, as long as they came to see him for medical treatment, he would do his best to help them heal.

It's just that as a veterinarian, he is still far from being a miracle doctor. He cannot treat all diseases. He can only try his best to help patients relieve their symptoms, and strive to improve his medical skills and collect locally available medicines.

On this day, Jian Mo was grinding bone needles in the house and saw a figure wandering outside.

He thought someone was looking for something to do with him, so when he went out to take a look, the figure was gone again.

This made him a little depressed, so he specifically told Wu Jiong about it that night.

Wu Jiong: "I'll ask tomorrow."

Jian Mo: "Okay. If anyone wants to see a doctor but doesn't have supplies or has any other concerns, please ask Qing Kuo and the others to help." Wu Jiong

: "I understand."

Jian Mo originally thought that the person who came to the door would be a patient, but one day later, Xi Lu came over in a boat and admitted sheepishly that it was him who was wandering outside yesterday.

Xilu's skin is fair, and her face is particularly obvious when she blushes.

Jian Mo looked at this flaxen-haired sub-orc companion and said, "It doesn't matter. What do you want from me? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Xi Lu waved her hand: "No, it's that...my grandpa told me about something It's a very good method to stop bleeding. I've used it twice and found it to be very effective. I just wanted to tell you if it works for you."

Jian Mo was a little surprised: "Of course it works. Come in, let's have a cup of tea first. Besides. "

It's also cloudy today, the wind is blowing outside, and it's quite cold to stand outside and talk.

Jian Mo invited them into the house, picked up a clay pot from the fire pit, and poured out the tea inside: "This is a pepper drink with honey cubes added. It's hot and spicy. It's very comfortable to drink in this weather. You can have two cups." Get rid of the cold."

Zhou Fu reached out and hugged the pottery cup and took a deep breath: "This sweet smell is really good."

Jian Mo: "Try it quickly."

Xi Lu was a little uneasy and held it up gently. He touched his lips, put it down, and asked Jian Mo: "Do you know about the fur ball beast?"

Jian Mo searched his memory carefully after hearing this, then shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Xi Lu gestured: " It is a dark, small beast with long hair. When you touch it, it will drop a lot of powder. The powder is also a little poisonous. In addition, it has more hair, less meat, and a fishy smell. "We usually don't eat it."

Jian Mo nodded and waited for Xi Lu to continue.

Xilu: "The powder that can be used to stop bleeding is the powder it drops. The powder has a very good hemostatic effect. Sprinkling it on will stop the bleeding after a while. After using that powder, the wound will heal very quickly."

Jane Mo was a little surprised: "I've never heard of it. Doesn't everyone know this method of stopping bleeding?"

Zhou Fu interjected from the side: "There are many herbs that can stop bleeding, and everyone uses what they pick. Before Xilu said today , I didn't know that furball powder could be used to stop bleeding."

Xi Lu: "My grandfather also discovered it by accident. He doesn't use it in many places, so he told me one."

Jian Mo: "So that's it."

Xi Lu held the pottery cup with both hands: "I want to say It's just fur powder. I wonder if it's useful to you? If you can use it, I can take you to collect it. I know where the fur ball beast is."

Jian Moxiao said, "Okay, I'll ask first if you want to use it. I'll go find you."

In the evening, Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong about the fur ball beast.

Although Wu Jiong knew about this little beast, he had no idea about the hemostatic function of its fur powder.

Wu Jiong: "When we go out, if we are injured, we will just get some herbs and apply them. Even if it is not enough, we will cover the wound with our hands. After a while, the wound will slowly stop bleeding."

Jian Mo sighed: "This I know your physical condition is indeed extraordinary."

Wu Jiong: "Do you want to use it? If so, let's go get some."

Jian Mo thought for a while: "Actually, I'm worried about whether there are viruses in this animal medicine. -Whether contact with it will cause diseases. "

The orc world also has a similar concept of diseases, but they are all legends.

Wu Jiong understood and said: "People have lived on this land for countless years, and they have never heard of any tribe getting sick on a large scale due to wild beasts."

Jian Mo: "Maybe it's because everyone's daily life is hunting and gathering. Life, the resistance is relatively strong."

Jian Mo thought for a while, but still wanted to see what was going on with this kind of furry ball beast?

He had only heard that birds had feather powder, but it was the first time he heard that animals also had feather powder.

Wu Jiong: "If you want to go, ask Xi Lu tomorrow." Jian

Mo: "Okay, I'll see if I can ask him to lead the way."

He was preparing to go out to collect.

Hearing that he wanted to go, Xi Lu agreed without hesitation: "When do you want to go? I'm free every day."

Jian Mo: "How about tomorrow? Where should I go?"

Xi Lu asked: "You know? Zihuaping? There should be a lot of furball beasts there.

Jian Mo knew that he and Qing Kuo had gone there to collect mushrooms in the autumn. "It's not that far

," Xi Lu nodded. It's not far away. The orcs will be there in their beast form."

Jian Mo finally said, "Then we'll go after breakfast tomorrow. Do you want us orcs to go alone, or call the orcs?

" "I want to call Xuanyin and ask him to carry me there. That would be more convenient and safer."

Xuanyin is Xilu's prospective partner. The two of them will wait for the house to be built, then live together and become official partners.

Jian Mo was still thinking before, whether it would be inappropriate to ask Wu Jiong to carry Xi Lu, a young sub-orc, over there, or else they should fly over on a flying winged beast?

Now after hearing what Xi Lu said, Jian Mo immediately said: "It's settled, I'll ask Wu Jiong to go with us."

The two agreed on a time to go out.

Early the next morning, the four people met outside the tribe and set off for Zihuaping.

Zihuaping is quite close to the tribe. If people in this world have the habit of walking, then Zihuaping should be a place that can be reached within a short walk. It is the kind of place where people can walk to sweat a little without feeling too tired. distance.

They soon arrived at Zihuaping.

It hasn't snowed in the past few days. Zihuaping is located on the sunny slope of the hillside. The snow on it has almost melted, and only a few snow piled up by the wind are still there.

Under the snow, short yellow grass covered the ground. At a glance, the entire Zihua Ping was covered with short grass, with only some round animal droppings in the gaps between the grass.

The soil on this hillside is black, and the animal excrement is also black. It's really hard to distinguish at a glance.

Jian Mo turned around and looked around, but did not see the small black fur ball-like animal that Xi Lu described.

Xi Lu guessed what he was thinking, and pointed at the soil: "The fur ball beasts only come out at night, and now they usually hide in caves."

Jian Mo: "So we have to take them out now?"

Xi Lu nodded.

Neither Wu Jiong nor Xuanyin returned to human form.

Like Wu Jiong, Xuanyin is also a canine beastman, but he is more like a red fox.

Both of their animal forms had long mouths and noses with keen sense of smell. They sniffed the ground and quickly started searching.

Wu Jiong found it first and called Jian Mo in a deep voice: "There is a fur ball beast under here."

Jian Mo quickly put on gloves and a mask, and urged Xi Lu to put them on too: "Here it comes -"

Jian Mo carried a stone hoe When he ran up to the giant wolf, he saw a small black hole on the ground that he was sniffing.

Giant Wolf: "Be careful. The bottom is very shallow. If you dig it, the furball beast will easily jump out. Don't get hit in the face."

Jian Mo nodded solemnly and started digging with a hoe.

The hole at the bottom snaked downwards. He dug two hoes and saw the smooth and dry mud cave wall - he didn't know how the furball kept the cave dry.

Just when Jian Mo was concentrating on digging, a black fur ball suddenly jumped out.

Before he could react, he stared blankly as the fur ball drew a black line in front of his eyes.

The next second, the giant wolf's claws had stretched out and gently stepped on the black fur ball.

The black fur ball tried to run but failed, and let out a thin sound: "Ji."

Only then did Jian Mo see the fur ball's appearance clearly.

The furball beast looks very much like a black ball-shaped furry toy. It has a small body, long hair, two big black and white eyes, and four claws under its body. It chirps when it is anxious.

It looks quite cute.

Jian Mo squatted down, grabbed the fur ball beast with his gloved hands, and said to the giant wolf, "You can let go."

The giant wolf gently raised its paw.

Jian Mo picked up the fur ball beast and looked at it carefully.

Xilu and Xuanyin also came over to take a look.

Xi Lu said, "The white powder on your gloves is its fur powder."

Jian Mo looked down at the gloves, and there was indeed a layer of pearl powder on the gloves, with a faint luster.

As the fur ball beast screamed and struggled, more and more powder fell off, accumulating a thin layer on Jian Mo's gloves.

Jian Mo thought for a while, grabbed the fur ball beast and shook it.

The fur ball beast's fur powder fell into Jian Mo's hand like snow. If he hadn't been wearing a mask, he would have choked.

Soon, the furball beast groaned feebly, spread its paws and remained motionless, pretending to be dead.

Jian Mo grabbed the fur ball beast in the palm of his hand and squeezed it tightly. It was only the size of a tennis ball, and it was indeed a small beast with no meat.

After shaking it, making sure it no longer shed any lint, Jian Mo gently put it back into the hole.

The furball beast, which was still pretending to be dead, immediately jumped up, jumped directly into the hole, and disappeared.

Jian Mo watched the furball beast disappear: "It's quite flexible."

Xi Lu: "This kind of weak beast is usually good at escaping."

Jian Mo: "I guess so. It doesn't seem to attack people very much. How about we divide into two groups and collect fur powder on both sides?"

Xi Lu has no objection . : "Xuanyin and I will go over there."

The four people were divided into two groups, and the collection efficiency was much higher.

After Jian Mo figured out the pattern, he could find the furry ball beast's hole without relying on the giant wolf.

After you find it, dig it twice with a hoe. The furball beast will usually jump out when it feels threatened.

Jian Mo only needed to hold it in time with his gloved hands, pick it up and shake it a few times to collect its fur powder.

The giant wolf is also very skilled at digging holes. After digging out the fur ball beast, just hold down and wait for Jian Mo to deal with it.

Zihuaping is dotted with large and small fur ball caves. Jian Mo and Wu Jiong collected a whole can of fur powder all morning, and the results were similar in Xilu and Xuanyin.

Jian Mo searched too many holes and felt that his eyes were a little tired, so he suggested: "How about we go back today? After confirming the function of the hair powder, we can pick it again."

Xi Lu had no objection: "Okay."

Giant Wolf He and Red Fox carried people back to the tribe respectively.

Xi Lu didn't ask for the wool powder she collected, so she directly handed the jar containing the wool powder to Jian Mo.

Jian Mo originally wanted to thank him, but after receiving the powder from him, he specially gave them a small jar of honey cubes.

Xilu was too embarrassed to accept it. He told Jian about Mo Maofen, just to help more people, not to profit from it, not to mention that honey cubes are too rare.

Jian Mo forced it on him, saying that when he treated people from other tribes, he had to charge medical fees, work hard, and receive remuneration, so that things could last long.

Only then did Xilu accept it.

Wu Jiong looked at the two cans of collected hair powder and asked: "Do you need to process the hair powder again?"

Jian Mo: "Yes. I'm not sure whether it can be used? If it can be used, what is the effect? "Whether it can only be used on the skin surface or can also be used on mucous membranes, how it feels when used, etc."

As a person with modern medical education, Jian Mo cannot introduce a new drug casually. Even local herbs.

So, he had to invite the little beast of burden to do experiments.

This time he changed to two small beasts of burden, and did not bother with the two that had tried anesthesia last time.

After a few days of experimentation, Jian Mo discovered that the hair powder from the fur ball beast was really useful.

After using hair powder on more serious wounds, even in a less clean environment, the wound healed very well, and there was basically no redness, swelling or inflammation.

As a control group, Jian Mo applied ordinary herbal medicine to the wound of another beast of burden, and then under the same care conditions, the wound of the other beast of burden was directly infected and suppurated. After applying hair powder, the wound slowly healed. Get better slowly.

Jian Mo thought that the newly collected hair powder had not been disinfected and might contain various microorganisms, which was not safe.

So, he heated and sterilized the wool powder in a clean clay pot, and then used it to conduct comparative experiments with unsterilized wool powder. The two effects were similar.

From this, he determined that heating would not destroy the medicinal properties of hair powder.

In fact, if the conditions were better, Jian Mo would know how to conduct a double-blind experiment, but unfortunately the conditions were not good, so he had to forget it for now.

It is not a secret that Xi Lu helped find the hair ball powder. After everyone knew that Jian Mo used the hair ball powder and gave Xi Lu honey cubes as reward, they all approached Jian Mo to provide her own exclusive prescription.

Jian Mo collected a lot of medicines in a short period of time.

Although there is no modern medical system here, there are many traditional medical prescriptions.

As for whether it is useful, we have to rely on experiments to slowly identify it.

As Jian Mo's reputation grew, more and more people came to him to deal with their illnesses.

He gained a lot of experience as a result.

Except for people from the Riverside tribe, when he treats people from other tribes, he will charge a certain amount of materials as medical expenses, usually based on the complexity of the treatment.

He didn't receive much, but patients would often send him the best things they had at home. If they didn't have them at home, they would exchange them with others and send them over.

There are only a few popular items here, mostly cloth, animal skins, animal meat, etc.

Jian Mo collected a lot, but felt that they couldn't use them all, so it was a bit of a waste.

That afternoon, when he saw no one came to the door and had nothing to do, he simply went out to the firewood pile and peeled off a few large pieces of bark.

When people in the tribe cut firewood, they tend to cut branches from large trees, so the bark they peel off is wide and large.

Jian Mo trimmed the bark of the tree flat and spliced ​​them together to form a large flat plate.

When Wu Jiong came back, he saw him writing and drawing on the bark of the tree with charcoal, and asked, "What is this for?"

Jian Mo said, "I want to write a charge sheet and put it on the wall."

Wu Jiong walked over and looked at it. You can see that various patterns have been painted on the bark of the tree. You can recognize them without looking at the text labels on them. They are some wild vegetables, stems, firewood, and even pottery pieces.

Jian Mo pointed at the pattern and said: "In addition to fabrics and animal skins, I also want to collect some supplies that we usually use."

Wu Jiong: "Why did you put the pottery pieces in there too."

Jian Mo: "Qing Kuo said The broken pottery can also be used to make pottery, so I will write it down together. What else do you want? I will write it down again and let the patients get what they have without having to change it. Send us some fabrics."

Wu Jiong took stock and suggested, "Don't you like fruit wine? Add some fruit wine." Jian

Mo's eyes lit up: "This is good."

It hasn't fermented yet, and a lot of fruit wine is used in cooking recently, so I really need to replace it with a batch of fruit wine.

After Jian Mo finished writing, he looked at the bark under his hands: "After this winter is over and spring comes, we will probably have more things on hand than now."

Wu Jiong: "Doctors are always more popular. However, what you wrote People who see this board may not be able to understand it."

Jian Mo: "I will explain it at that time. After listening to the explanation, they will probably know what I need, and they happen to have it at home, so there is no need to bother. Find someone to change it. "

Chapter 36 Snow Pearl Fruit

On this day, Jian Mo was preparing to collect the fish cages early in the morning. Ban Ming jumped out of the path: "Brother Jian Mo!"

Jian Mo heard his enthusiastic call and stopped to wait for him: "Why did you get up today? So early?"

Ban Ming opened his eyes and lied: "I get up so early every day."

Jian Mo looked at him and stopped talking.

Jian Mo was familiar with Qing Kuo and knew that none of their family had the habit of getting up early, especially Ban Ming. This young orc had just gone through a period of growth that was extremely sleep-deprived. If he didn't need to go hunting, he would always sleep until the sun warmed the ground. Just got up.

This guy got up so early today, which is as strange as Wu Jiong sleeping in.

Seeing Jian Mo's expression, Ban Ming knew that he had not fooled him, so he didn't care. Seeing that there was no one around him, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Jian Mo, I'm here to ask you something."

Jian Mo was very alert: "What? Something? You tell me first, and I will decide whether to agree or not."

Ban Ming said with a bit of embarrassment, "You know I like Amon, right?"

Jian Mo nodded.

Ban Ming asked: "What do you think of Amon?"

Jian Mo thought that he was going to become a partner with Amon, and wanted to find out what was going on in his family. He asked himself to be the lobbyist first, and then said, "It's very good. He is a man of good character and temperament." A sub-orc with excellent abilities."

Ban Ming raised his chin: "Yes, he is also very good-looking."

Jian Mo said with his proud look, "Yes, do you want me to tell your father? "

No, no, no." Ban Ming reacted immediately and waved his hands quickly, "I didn't come here this time to talk about Amon and I. I just wanted to ask if Amon could bring his father here." Look at the legs." Jian Mo suddenly couldn't laugh or cry when she heard that the boss had laid a lot of groundwork

just to talk about this matter: "Of course, anyone who feels unwell can come and see me, Wu Jiong and the others won't stop him."

Mo did have a good impression of Amon.

His two beasts of burden were given by this young and handsome sub-orc, and he was worried about them at that time.

So even if Amon is from the Heroic Tribe, if he needs help, he will try his best to help.

Ban Ming was relieved when he heard Jian Mo's words: "That's what I told him too. Brother Jian Mo, you are so kind. Even if his father comes from another tribe, you will not refuse him. He just thinks more." , I think I have to ask you first."

People who are particularly considerate will indeed have more concerns. Jian Mo nodded understandingly: "Let him bring his father here. It will take a hundred days for him to break his muscles and bones. My father's legs should be checked again."

Ban Ming: "Okay, I'll go to his tribe and tell him later. Brother Jian Mo, you're so kind."

Jian Mo glanced at him and said, "Just help your friend. Okay?"

Ban Ming was a little shy: "I'm not a partner yet, I'm trying to become his quasi-mate."

This guy is pretty good-looking, and he looks very sunny, but sometimes he looks silly, not like a cat, but like a giant cat. Samoyed.

Jian Mo waved his hand: "Okay, hurry up and go."

Ban Ming didn't leave: "Aren't you going to collect the fish cages? I'll help you."

Ban Ming said that the weather was cold and it was difficult to fish, so he insisted on helping Jian Mo He pulled up the fish cage and cleaned the internal organs before saying goodbye to Jian Mo and going back.

Ban Ming was so considerate this time. When Jian Mo saw Amen coming with his father, he fell in love with her and had a very gentle attitude.

Generally speaking, Jian Mo has a more serious attitude when dealing with patients and their families - when it comes to seriousness, patients tend to listen to doctors' orders.

There are quite a few patients who are afraid of him.

Amon took his father to greet Jian Mo: "Dr. Jian Mo."

"Here?" Jian Mo smiled at them and asked, "It's been a hard journey here. It's quite cold on the road, right? Have your legs become stiff due to the weather? What's uncomfortable?"

Amon's father was a little cautious, but he still answered, "One thing is that it hurts when it snows, and it hurts when it's too cold." Jian Mo

: "Let me see."

Yu Shui, Amon's father, carefully checked his legs.

The leg that was exposed to rain has healed well, but it has not completely healed. When I look at it now, I can still see red marks, and there must be some inflammation inside.

After Jian Mo saw his human form, he asked him to change back to his animal form.

The beasts of the Hero Clan are a bit like unicorns, but their horns are very sharp and not easy to mess with.

It's not so obvious when the rain is in the human form, but when it's in the animal form, you can see that the leg bones are a little red and the blood vessels should be a little damaged.

Jian Mo asked with a serious face: "Did you not take a good rest when you went back?"

Yu Shui said in a muffled voice: "It's not bad. I didn't go to tribal group activities many times."

Jian Mo: "Then I did go there sometimes. , right?"

Yu Sheng didn't dare to speak anymore, and Amon frowned and looked at his father.

Jian Mo felt it was difficult, thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything special to do for this level of injury. I'll use hot salt to apply it first. When you go back, pay attention to keeping the injured area warm and get plenty of rest."

Amon quickly agreed.

Jian Mo nodded towards this particularly reliable sub-orc, took a broken pottery pot, placed it on the fire pit, poured half the pot of rock salt into it, and stir-fried slowly.

After the rock salt was fried and hot, Jian Mo poured the rock salt into the bag, tied the mouth of the bag, and then placed the entire bag on the injured leg in the shape of a rain-spraying beast.

While placing it, Jian Mo carefully felt the temperature of the salt bag. Although he thought it was fine, he still carefully warned: "If you feel uncomfortable in any way, just tell me and don't get burned."

Yu Shui hurriedly said promise.

It takes a while to apply hot compresses with salt bags. The father and son sat in the hall and waited slowly.

Jian Mo invited them to drink peppercorn drink. There was no extravagant honey cubes in it, but some preserved fruits were put in it. It tasted sweet and spicy, and was very effective in keeping away the cold.

There are no snacks here, anything with a bit of flavor is quite popular.

Yuchou and Amon slowly drank the Jiao Rui drink and relaxed.

Amon was sitting in the hall with nothing to do. He turned his head and looked around, and soon saw Jian Mo's bark painting hanging on the wall.

His painting was so vivid that Amon recognized most of the objects in the painting at a glance.

Amon sat up straight and asked: "Doctor Jian Mo, what is this?"

Jian Mo turned around and followed his gaze: "This is the scope of my remuneration. Some people come to see the doctor and there is no extra cloth at home. It would be troublesome to exchange the animal skins with others and then send them to me. I just sorted out some of the items I need. I don't need to give them any cloth, animal skins, etc., and I welcome them as well,"

Jian Mo said . , and also read the above items to Amon and Yushui.

After Amon listened, he noticed the things he had and expressed his intention to bring pottery fragments to Jian Mo. Then he was curious: "Doctor Jian Mo, do you like fruit wine?"

Jian Mo smiled: "You should call me Brother Jian Mo. Right. Fruit wine is very useful, and we use a lot of it at home."

Amon quickly changed his mind, and then said with some regret: "Now is the season for making fruit wine, but my father's leg is injured, so we haven't gone out to pick snowdrop fruit much this year."

This was Jian Mo's first time again. The first fruit I heard about: "Snow Pearl Fruit?"

Amon: "Yes, it's a fruit that only grows when it snows. We grow more of it there. It's very sweet and is very good for making wine, but it's not easy to find." "

Jian Mo: "What's so good about it?"

Amon thought for a while: "There is a layer of white frost on the outside of the snow pearl fruit. If you want to make wine, you don't need to put anything else in it. Just crush it and put it in the jar. , the wine will start to come out in three to five days."

Jian Mo couldn't help but said, "So soon!"

His noodle wine has been brewed for so long, and now it still smells like noodle, and the wine taste is relatively weak.

He simply doubted whether he would have to brew it for a whole season before the fruit wine would be ready when spring came.

Amon: "Really, if you don't believe me, just ask my father."

Yu Po nodded beside him: "The wine made from Xuezhu fruit is fast and good, but it's just too little. We sometimes transform into beasts to look for grass under the snow. It took a long time to find the Snow Pearl Fruit."

Jian Mo couldn't help but ask, "Why? Doesn't this fruit grow in the same place every year?"

Amon shook his head and said seriously: "No, it will happen in some years. Some years they don't bear fruit. Just like mushrooms, you have to rely on luck to find them. Moreover, they only bear fruit in a short period of time, and they are buried under the snow. Can't see it. "

This is really a rare fruit, no wonder he couldn't find it in his memory.

Amon looked at Jian Mo's expression: "I'll go back and look for it. If I find it, I'll bring it to you."

Jian Mo waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, the cloth woven from the fur of the beast you brought is already great. See a doctor. I can't use that much cloth, so I have to give you some things back. Do you want nuts, cloth or spices?"

There is no concept of change here. It's up to Jian Mo to decide how much he wants to receive.

He will charge different fees based on the complexity of the condition, the preciousness of the medicinal materials and medical equipment used, etc.

Medical procedures that are not troublesome at all, such as examination and leg dressing, do not require a piece of precious pack animal hair cloth as payment, so Jane does not have to give them anything back.

Amon didn't want to accept what Jian Mo returned, but Jian Mo insisted, saying it was his own principle, and explained the concept of principle.

Finally, Amon accepted a large bag of spices prepared by Jian Mo.

Amon and his son applied the dressing on their legs and left with the spices, rock salt and medical advice given by Jian Mo.

Jian Mo was a little distracted.

In the evening, Wu Jiong noticed something was wrong with him as soon as he came back and asked him what happened.

Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong: "Do you know about Snow Pearl Fruit?"

Wu Jiong paused: "Amon said that?"

Jian Mo nodded: "He said that Snow Pearl Fruit tastes very sweet and makes wine very well. Our tribe has Are they snow beads?"

Wu Jiong: "No, they only have them over there."

The Xiongying Tribe is very far away from their tribe, with the Mengshui Tribe in between.

It's normal for the products on both sides to be different. For example, Amon said that they don't have honeybirds or honey lumps there.

Jian Mo was a little disappointed: "Then I'll ask the people in their tribe next time to see if I can get some snow beads or fruit wine."

Wu Jiong thought for a while: "I remember that the Zhengchi tribe also has this kind of snow beads. Fruit——"

Jian Mo immediately reacted: "Is there any ownerless land under the Zhengchi tribe?"

Jian Mo was referring to the area where they went to pick noodle fruits, between the Zhengchi tribe and the Yigu tribe. That unclaimed land.

Wu Jiong: "That's exactly what I want to say. People from our tribe have collected snow pearl fruits there before, but after so many years, I'm not sure if there are any more there? Do you want to try your luck?"

Jane Mo didn't hesitate: "Go!"

They hadn't been there for a long time, and it was just a good time to go there for a stroll.

Jian Mo really wanted to see what it was like over there in winter.

Wu Jiong had a smile on his face: "Then let's go to bed early and let Jiu Jiu carry us there tomorrow."

Jian Mo: "It's just the two of us, without anyone else?"

Wu Jiong: "Who else do you want to bring? "

No, no, no, we're fine. We can go wherever we want." Jian Mo stood up, "I'll see what's delicious at home and make some bribes."

Chapter 37 The Fruit Wine

Winged Beast occasionally carries other people from the Riverside Tribe on its back.

Every time it carries someone else on its back, it quickly puts them down as soon as they reach the destination without even looking at them.

Ban Ming also complained to Jian Mo, saying that he always felt that this guy was very perfunctory when he went out with the tribe.

Jian Mo listened to his complaints and thought that he had never seen what it meant to beat a worker.

It's just work, what real feelings do you want?

The flying winged beast was very perfunctory when he went out with the tribe, but it was different when he went out with Jian Mo and the others. He was tweeting all the way, and he was visibly happy.

Jian Mo's ears hurt from its shouting, and he patted its neck and asked loudly: "Why are you so happy?"

The flying-winged beast shouted even louder: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

Wu Jiong put his strong arms around Jian Mo's waist: "Be careful, don't fall."

Jian Mo turned around, looked at Wu Jiong who was close at hand, and smiled: "No, I have a good grip, and the Chiu Chiu flies very steadily."

They flew all the way to the Zhengchi Tribe. The ownerless land at the border with the Yigu tribe.

Wu Jiong said that this land has a name, called "Dezhou Mountain Land".

It's a really strange name, but the naming method of the orc world is indeed different from the naming method of China.

Jian Mo recited it in his mind and remembered the name firmly.

When he arrived at the place, Wu Jiong gently pressed the winged beast's neck and let it land.

Two people and one animal stopped in the open space by the river.

Jian Mo looked around and saw that everything was completely white, and through the gaps in the snow, he could see the yellow-brown dead grass and trees underneath.

Jian Mo turned to Wu Jiong and asked, "How do I find the Snow Pearl Fruit? Do I really have to dig through the snow to find it bit by bit?"

Wu Jiong said, "I'll change back to my animal form first and see if I can smell it."

Jian Mo nodded repeatedly. The orcs' sense of smell was much sharper than his.

Wu Jiong soon turned into a giant wolf, lowering his head and sniffing the snow.

The winged beast looked at him curiously, then pattered over, imitating his example and sniffing the snow together.

This guy learned a trick and sniffed for a long time, but couldn't smell anything. Instead, there was white snow on the tip of his nose.

After a while, it was chilled by the snow on the tip of its nose. It shook its head and sneezed loudly: "Sneeze-"

Jian Mo quickly took a few steps to the side to avoid being sprayed by the flying winged beast's saliva.

The flying winged beast was not satisfied with Jian Mo's expression and wanted to come over and nuzzle him.

Jian Mo discovered this guy's intention in time and reached out to push it away.

While Jian Mo was playing with the flying winged beast, the giant wolf said: "Found it."

Jian Mo refreshed and ran to the giant wolf: "Where?"

The giant wolf used its claws to claw away the snow: "Here."

As soon as the snow was peeled away, Jian Mo immediately saw the fruit waiting quietly on the ground.

These large and small fruits are crystal clear. They look like cracked sugar cubes or sugar corners covered with frost. They look quite attractive.

The moment the fruit was exposed, the sweet smell rushed into Jian Mo's nose.

Jian Mo silently counted, five large and three small, a total of eight snow pearl fruits.

Jian Mo sniffed: "Can this fruit be eaten? Or can it only be used to make wine?"

Wu Jiong: "You can eat it, but you can't eat more."

Jian Mo immediately picked the three largest fruits without any courtesy. , grabbed a handful of snow next to him, rubbed the fruits, and stuffed one into the mouth of Jiu Jiu, who was squeezing his big head over, fed the other to the giant wolf, and ate the last one himself.

When you bite into the snowdrop fruit, the gelatinous pulp inside comes out. It is so sweet that it sticks to your teeth, and it also carries an indescribable sweet and fruity aroma.

So delicious!

Jian Mo said "Ah" and fell onto the snow.

The giant wolf's expression tightened, and he immediately stepped forward, put his paws on him, and sniffed his chest and abdomen with his nose: "What's wrong?"

Jian Mo lay on the snow and looked at the sky: "It's so delicious, how can it be so good? Fruit to eat?"

The winged beast chirped loudly next to him in agreement.

Wu Jiong: "..."

Jian Mo turned over, hugged the giant wolf's mouth, and looked into his eyes: "Isn't it delicious?"

Giant Wolf: "It's delicious."

Jian Mo narrowed his eyes.

After eating, Jian Mo felt a little sore in her throat, as if something was stuck on it, and it was a little itchy.

It seems that the snowdrop fruit can be eaten, but not too much.

If you eat too much, your throat will definitely hurt, and maybe your stomach will hurt too.

Jian Mo got up, carefully picked the other five fruits and put them into the basket on his back: "Let's go find other fruits."

Wu Jiong: "Yeah."

They continued to search.

Wu Jiong sniffed with his nose, and the tip of his nose was soon covered with snow.

Jian Mo saw it and thought it was cute, so she followed his example and sniffed it carefully.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Jian Mo always felt that there were a lot of scents that he could distinguish today.

Although he has not smelled the scent of snowdrops so far, he can smell the smell of dead grass and the residual smell of small animals under the snow.

Maybe it was because the air was so cold that it whizzed into his nose and his sense of smell was stimulated to be particularly keen.

They walked and sniffed.

There are not many snowdrop fruits, and it takes a while to find a nest.

The giant wolf and the flying-winged beast were responsible for sniffing, while Jian Mo picked. By noon, the picked snowdrop fruits only lightly covered the bottom of the basket.

After walking in the snow for so long, Jian Mo felt a little cold and a little hungry.

Going out to collect in this kind of weather is really exhausting.

He turned to ask Wu Jiong for his opinion: "How about we take a break? Have something to eat?"

Wu Jiong: "Okay."

Wu Jiong turned around and turned back into his human form, picking up the animal skin robe and skins that had just fallen off. Put on your boots.

He looked around, pointed in front and said, "Go to the rock over there."

Jian Mo had no objection: "Okay, we have the wind at our back."

The two of them went to the resting place.

Wu Jiong quickly dragged out the dead wood from the forest and lit it with fire sticks.

Jian Mo took out a clay pot, which was filled with food, including fish balls, meat balls, stem pieces, etc.

He took a look, grabbed a handful of clean snow from the ground, stuffed it into the jar, and then put the jar on the fire to cook.

The snow in the jar quickly melted into water, bubbling and cooking other food.

Lunch should be ready soon.

While the fire was warming up, Jian Mo said, "I didn't expect that there would be no one outside during this season."

Wu Jiong: "Everyone will go out, but they won't come to such a far place."

Yes, in cold weather, just pick it near the tribe. There is no need to come to such a far place to suffer.

Jian Mo nodded in understanding. He sat next to the fire. Only the front was hot and his back was always cold.

It's really cold.

Thinking of this, Jian Mo turned to look at the flying-winged beast and waved to it.

The flying-winged beast blinked and quickly understood. He took two steps to the side, walked behind Jian Mo and squatted down, covering Jian Mo under his chest and abdomen.

Jian Mo pressed his back against the soft and thick fur of the winged beast, finally feeling warm, and couldn't help but sigh in comfort.

Wu Jiong has been watching them.

Jian Mo thought Wu Jiong was cold too, so he moved to the side and waved to him: "Come over and warm up together?"

Wu Jiong paused, and sure enough, he walked over and squeezed into the seat given by Jian Mo.

The winged beast lowered his head and glanced at the two of them, and became even happier: "Chirp, chirp, chirp."

Jian Mo touched the winged beast with his backhand: "Chirp, chirp, don't scream so loud, it hurts your ears."

The winged beast lowered its voice and blinked. He raised his dark eyes and said, "Chirp."

The food in the clay pot was cooked quickly. Jian Mo took it off, placed it on the ground covered with grass, and folded four sticks to use as chopsticks.

Each of them holds a pair of chopsticks and just eats the food from a jar.

Jian Mo took two bites, took out the meatballs, raised his hand and stuffed it to the flying winged beast above his head.

The flying winged beast was even more happy: "Chirp."

Jian Mo and the others seldom had lunch, and as soon as they finished eating, Jian Mo felt sleepy.

He simply lay next to Wu Jiong, huddled in the thick fur of the winged beast, and took a short nap.

After taking a nap, Jian Mo regained his energy and they continued to collect snow bead fruits.

My luck seems to be better in the afternoon than in the morning.

They had only walked for a while when the giant wolf said: "There should be a patch underneath."

Jian Mo's eyes lit up and he ran over: "Let me take a look!"

The giant wolf had already peeled away part of the snow, and sure enough, there was something growing underneath. I picked up a piece of snowdrop fruit.

These snowdrop fruits are crowded together in large and small sizes. At a glance, there are at least dozens of them.

Jian Mo quickly took action and spread the snow further.

The flying-winged beast also came to join in the fun.

After the snow cleared away, the snow bead fruit in front of them covered at least three square meters.

It looked as if someone had dried a piece of snowdrop fruit here.

They have been out for so long, and the snow pearl fruits they found in the morning were just a few scattered ones. This was the first time they found so many.

Jian Mo was like a cat that fell into a can of cats. He was beaming with joy: "Quick, quick, pick it."

There were so many snow beads here, so Wu Jiong turned into a human and picked it with him. .

The flying-winged beast didn't know how to pick it, so he took the time to pick up some snow pearl fruits and eat them. Every time he ate one, he would "chirp, chirp, chirp" happily next to him.

Jian Mo saw that it didn't eat much and wouldn't get angry, so she turned a blind eye and ignored it.

They had been picking for a whole morning, and the berries they had collected were enough to cover the bottom of the basket on their backs. After picking this piece of berries, the basket was half full.

Jian Mo picked off the last snow bead fruit and scanned the ground with his eyes without giving up. After confirming that there was indeed no snow bead fruit left, he sighed regretfully.

Jian Mo: "It would be great if all the Snow Pearl Fruits we encounter next grow in clumps like this."

Wu Jiong: "Look again."

Jian Mo straightened up: "Let's go."

Wu Jiong held his hand, Pulling him up, he turned around, took off his clothes and boots, changed back into his animal form, and threw the clothes and boots on his back and put them on his back.

Jian Mo put the half-full basket on his back.

One person, one wolf and one beast continue to set off.

Jian Mo kept looking back, and after walking a few dozen meters, he could still see the place where they had picked snow pearl fruits - there was snow everywhere else, but here a large piece of mud-colored ground was exposed.

After picking this piece of snowdrop fruit, it would be difficult for them to encounter another piece with so many snowdrop fruits.

Jian Mo's heart was full of melancholy.

After walking a few more meters, Jian Mo suddenly reached out and hugged the front paw of the giant wolf beside him: "Wait! I'll dig out the soil too!"

The giant wolf looked down at him.

Jian Mo explained: "I think snow pods grow out of the ground like fungi. There may be seeds in the soil. If we take the soil back, maybe we can grow snow pods there too." Jian Mo was a little worried about Wu

Jiong. If you don't like it, usually you will get scolded easily if you make such unreasonable demands to your brothers.

Wu Jiong was very cooperative: "It makes sense."

Jian Mo smiled, showing his neat white teeth: "Really?"

There were two stacked backpacks under Jian Mo's backpack, and he was afraid of carrying the basket It wasn't enough. I didn't expect that after working for a long time, I only picked half of the basket.

The two baskets I brought now can only hold mud.

They went back, scraped off a thin layer of the soil where the Snow Pearl Fruit had grown, put it in a back basket, and tied it to the Winged Beast.

This place was indeed the peak moment of their collection today.

They walked a long distance again, and never encountered such a large number of snowdrop fruits on the road again. They were lucky to be able to pick more than a dozen at a time.

The sun slowly turned to the west. Jian Mo and Wu Jiong saw that the time was about the same, so they flew to the tribe on the flying winged beast.

This place is too far from the tribe, and if they set off late, they will have to travel at night, which is not safe.

When we returned to the tribe, it was almost dark.

The two let the winged beast rest while they poured out the soil and spread it in a corner of the backyard.

Jian Mo didn't know if there were any seeds in the soil. In order to simulate the wild environment, he even covered it with a layer of withered grass.

Snowdrop fruit is relatively fragile. After being pressed for a day, it is no longer fresh. There are yellowing and oxidized spots on the fruit.

If you don't take care of it tonight, it will probably be broken tomorrow.

Jian Mo was dumbfounded, no wonder she had never seen anyone bring out the Snow Pearl Fruit to change it.

It breaks so easily that there is really no way to take it out.

They first selected the snowdrop fruits, then washed them with clean water and put them in the yard to dry.

After dinner, Jian Mo looked at it again and saw that the water had almost dried out.

Just because it was stained with water and left to dry outside for a while, the surface of the snowdrop fruit has some traces of frostbite.

The two took back the snow bead fruits and put them into clean pottery jars.

Jian Mo specially took out a clean and peeled wooden stick, put it into the pottery jar, and crushed the snow pearl fruit bit by bit.

Generally speaking, when making fruit wine, the more crushed the fruit is, the better the fermentation effect will be.

When mashed, the sweet smell of the snowdrop fruit floats out.

Jian Mo thought to herself: "It smells so good! It tastes really sweet."

Wu Jiong heard him muttering and went to pour him a glass of honey water.

The honey cube water was also very sweet. After drinking it, Jian Mo finally felt a little satisfied.

The snowdrop fruit in the jar was quickly pounded, and the jar was full. There was no drop of water in it, only juice.

Jian Mo picked up the dry leaves next to him and was about to seal the jar when he suddenly had an idea and grabbed a handful of honey cubes.

With a plop, he put the honey cubes into the jar, then sealed it with dry leaves, covered it with a piece of animal skin, and placed the jar near the fire pit so that it could ferment in a warm place.

Fruit wine needs to be stirred.

Jian Mo would open the jar and stir it every afternoon.

The juice in the jar slowly smelled of alcohol.

Jian Mo observes every day.

Maybe the juice in the jar was sweet enough and the fermentation went very smoothly this time.

This jar of juice slowly transformed under the brewing time. The smell gradually transformed from completely sweet to wine-sweet, and the wine liquid changed from slightly white to clear amber, like a pool of melted honey water, and like the horizon. sunset.

The dough has been fermented for so long, and it has a slightly alcoholic flavor.

The snowdrop fruit has only been fermented for a few days, and it already has a fragrant aroma.

After waiting for a few more days, when the pomace of the Snow Pearl Fruit floated up, Jian Mo couldn't help but use a wooden spoon to scoop out two small bowls of fruit wine and called to Wu Jiong: "Come and have a taste."

Wu Jiong came over . : "Can you drink it?"

Jian Mo: "I just tasted it, and there's nothing wrong with it. It tastes very good."

Jian Mo picked up the wine bowl, gave Wu Jiong a bowl, and then gently touched the edge of his bowl. After a moment: "Cheers."

Before Wu Jiong could react, Jian Mo couldn't wait to take a sip. As soon as the wine enters the mouth, the sweetness permeates the air, and the light wine flavor, wine aroma, and fruity aroma hit together and go straight to the brain.

Jian Mo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and tasted it carefully.

This wine was more fragrant than any fruit wine he had ever tasted on earth, perfectly sweet and alcoholic, with an intoxicating fruity aroma.

He drank slowly and in small sips, and finished the small bowl of fruit wine quickly. Even if he raised his head and poured the bowl into his mouth, not a single drop of fruit wine would come out.

Jian Mo put down the bowl with unfinished thoughts and licked her fingers.

When he was scooping out the wine, a drop of wine splashed on the back of his thumb, and there was still a trace of wine smell left.

Wu Jiong was drinking wine opposite him, his eyes flashing as he watched his pink tongue licking his fingers.

Jian Mo belatedly realized that Wu Jiong was looking at her and smiled sheepishly.

Wu Jiong didn't say anything. He seemed to be thirsty suddenly and swallowed the wine in the bowl in big gulps.

In winter, the sky is not covered with snow every day, and the temperature occasionally rises slightly.

The temperature has been higher than before these days, and it's not that painful to go outside.

Taking advantage of the good weather, the tribe once again organized people to go hunting and gathering, and took advantage of the good weather to seize the time to replenish fresh food.

Although the harvest in winter is much less than in other seasons, it is still better than staying in the tribe and just sitting there.

When she gets busy, Jian Mo doesn't care much about her family.

When a new round of cold wave came and they were in the winter at home, Jian Mo had no time to do anything and cleaned the inside and outside of the house.

When sweeping into the backyard, Jian Mo discovered that there were a few lumps of flying-winged beast cakes on top of the soil he collected from the place where the snow bead fruit was produced.

Even though the winged beast was pulled onto the dead grass and did not come into direct contact with the soil, it was still an eyesore.

There are snow bead fruits at the bottom. How could Daddy get to this place? !

Even if it doesn't come into contact with the soil underground!

Jian Mo's eyes darkened and he looked at the flying winged beast with murderous intent.

The winged beast shrank its head, not daring to look into his eyes: "Hey."

Jian Mo went over and grabbed the wing of the winged beast: "When did you do such a bad thing?"

The winged beast stared down at his claws, wondering. Silenced.

Jian Mo: "You are really promising. Didn't I lay ashes for you as a toilet? What if you insist on pulling it on the withered grass? The cleaner the withered grass, the better it will be to pull it up?"

The flying-winged beast's ears were pressed back, forming a timid expression. The timid Flying Ear, when he secretly looked at Jian Mo, showed half of the whites of his eyes, squatting on the spot and not daring to move.

Jian Mo was also convinced, gave it a lesson, cut off the meat for the night, and let it reflect on it, and then went to clean up the dead grass.

There are Winged Beast daddies on the withered grass. They can no longer be used and must be replaced with new withered grass.

Jian Mo collected the dead grass with a rake, and when he was about to replace it, the soil underneath was exposed.

What is exposed is not only soil, but also frost-colored fruits.

Jian Mo stared at the snow bead fruit that had grown out of nowhere in the soil and fell silent.

Jiu Jiu just pulled daddy on the withered grass.

To eat the snowdrops under the withered grass, or not to eat them? That is the question.

Chapter 38 The little white wolf

Wu Jiong came out of the house when he heard the noise. When he saw the winged beast lying on the ground with his ears back and a guilty look on his face, he immediately understood that it had done something bad.

"What's wrong?" Wu Jiong walked to Jian Mo.

Jian Mo pointed out the Snow Drop Fruit on the soil to him: "The Snow Drop Fruit finally grew out, but Jiujiu pulled a cake on the grass and just covered the Snow Drop Fruit. I was wondering if the Snow Drop Fruit can still be eaten. ?"

After Wu Jiong understood, he said, "Jiujiu doesn't particularly like other things invading its territory, and maybe it doesn't like the newly brought soil being spread next to it."

Jian Mo thought about it and thought it made sense: "So. It will be pulled on top."

Wu Jiong: "It's possible."

Jian Mo looked at the snow bead fruit, still unable to pass the test in his heart, and hesitated for a long time: "Then we take back the snow bead fruit? Jiujiu just did something bad. You definitely can't leave it to eat, otherwise it will have to do it next time."

Hearing this, the flying-winged beast raised his eyelids and glanced at Jian Mo, still showing half of his eyes.

Wu Jiong patted it lightly.

Jian Mo didn't notice and muttered: "You want us to eat, but it doesn't feel very bearable?"

Wu Jiong didn't say that he wasn't dirty, and advised him to get used to it. He just said: "We just had a meeting and decided to go to other places tomorrow. Tribal parade, how about I take the Snow Pearl Fruit out to exchange for other things? "

In winter, everyone is more free, and many tribes will take advantage of this season to exchange things and information with each other to facilitate their survival.

The same is true for the Riverside tribe. Not only people from other tribes will come to their tribe, but people from their tribe will also go to other tribes. This time Wu Jiong will lead the team to exchange things.

Jian Mo knew about this and asked: "Are you sure?"

Wu Jiong nodded: "The tribe has accumulated a lot of glazed pottery and glass. I should be able to exchange for a lot of things this time."

Jian Mo: "Which tribes are we going to? "

Wu Jiong: "Start from the Bingjiang tribe above us, go around in a circle, and then return to our tribe from the Yigu tribe. It will take about five days."

When Jian Mo heard that they were all familiar tribes, it was nothing. Interested.

It was so cold outside. They went out to change things this time. They would be moving very fast on the road. Even if they were sitting on Wu Jiong's back, they would not feel comfortable.

Moreover, this kind of exchanging things is a collective activity, and there is no room for free activities.

Went there, just five days of traveling.

Jian Mo said: "Then I won't go. I will stay in the tribe to take care of the beasts of burden and flying wings."

Wu Jiong was not surprised: "Okay. We will set off early tomorrow morning. If you are not used to it, look for Zhoufu and the others during the day. Play. If it's cold at night, you can borrow some cubs to keep your bed warm. I've made an agreement with them."

Jian Mo laughed and said, "Can we borrow this?" Jian Mo still stopped

.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I understand."

It was a bit unreliable to borrow a baby to warm the bed.

Jian Mo decided that if it was cold at night, she would open the window and light two more pots of charcoal. No matter what, she couldn't borrow other people's cubs.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jiong had only been out for half a day. At noon, while Jian Mo was sewing pillows alone in the yard, a chubby little wolf came to the door.

At first glance, this little wolf looks like a little orc in its bestial form. The white hair all over its body is very soft and slightly fried, and it looks like a little Alaskan.

Although he is much bigger than Alaska, he looks too silly and looks like Alaska.

Jian Mo sat in the yard and identified it: "Are you Xiaozhoudao?"

Xiaolang nodded, came over, whispered "Ouch", and then stammered: "Brother Jian Mo, Ouch."

Jian Mo He rubbed his furry head and said, "Hey, you can talk now."

The little wolf nodded, sniffed Jian Mo's wrist with his nose affectionately, and squatted next to Jian Mo.

Jian Mo asked: "Why did you come here alone instead of playing with other children?"

The wolf cub was so fat that Jian Mo couldn't help but glance at it. Even cubs rarely look so stocky. .

When he was an intern, he heard colleagues complain that some dogs were not just dogs, but cars. When they drove over, they could block the driveway.

Now it seems that some puppies can indeed be described as "lovely".

Ah no, indeed some little wolves can be described as "love".

Little Wolf was very patient and squatted at Jian Mo's feet, watching him sew pillows.

Jian Mo usually doesn't chase children away. As long as the little wolf doesn't cause trouble, he has no problem with it.

The little wolf sat for a while, his head getting sleepy little by little.

The little wolf couldn't sit still, so he simply lay down on the ground and slowly fell asleep in the sun.

It's cold today. Even if there is sunshine, the temperature is very low.

Jian Mo saw the little wolf sleeping on the ground and was worried that his belly would be cold, so she simply picked him up and planned to take him to the house to sleep.

It would be slightly better if it was padded with animal skins.

After hugging him, Jian Mo discovered that this little wolf was actually a solid little wolf, heavy and not bloated at all.

Because of the hug, his belly was still bulging and round.

Jian Mo smiled again and couldn't help but touch the little wolf's belly.

With this touch, Jian Mo found that Little Wolf's belly was a little hard, not the kind that was soft but hard at the same time, but a bit hard.

It's abnormal at first glance to be so hard.

Jian Mo's expression became serious, and he looked down at Little Wolf.

The little wolf was actually awake, but he felt guilty. His eyes were half-closed, his ears were close to his head, and he didn't dare to look at Jian Mo.

Jian Mo asked, why did this little wolf come to him as a wolf?

He gently touched the little wolf's belly and said softly: "Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?"

The little wolf hesitated and nodded.

Jian Mo asked: "What kind of discomfort is it? Is it uncomfortable without pooping, or is it painful?"

Xiao Lang whispered: "Eat, I'm full."

Jian Mo: "What did you eat to feel full?"

Xiao Lang After hesitating for a moment: "Rourou."

Jian Mo heard that it was not nonsense and felt relieved: "Good baby, so you came to see me for medical treatment, right?"

Little Wolf nodded.

Jian Mo asked again: "When did you eat it?"

Xiaolang: "Yesterday, in the evening."

Xiaolang was not very good at lying, so Jian Mo asked after a few questions.

Little Wolf ate fish and animal meat with his friends last night. He couldn't digest it after eating. Today, his parents gave him barbecued meat, which made him feel uncomfortable.

He didn't dare to tell his parents, so he came to Jian Mo quietly.

Jian Mo patted Little Wolf's head and said, "Well done. Next time you feel uncomfortable, please come to Brother Jian Mo."

The little wolf nodded seriously, thinking that everything was okay, grinned, and stuck out his pink tongue.

Seeing that Xiao Lang was in a good mood, Jian Mo seriously taught him not to eat too much meat at one time, especially not to eat frozen meat from outside.

The little wolf nodded cheerfully.

The little wolf has trouble digesting. He may have eaten too much at one time and his stomach has insufficient power.

If left untreated, the next step may progress to gastroenteritis.

Jian Mo stood up, found some sour fruits and several kinds of dried fruits that could help digestion from his shelf, and made a fire to make a decoction that could help digestion.

The sour taste soon wafted up.

The little wolf was lying on the cushion, his tail swaying, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

The soup was quickly cooked. Jian Mo poured a bowl out, put a small piece of honey in it, and gave it to the little wolf: "Let it cool before drinking."

The little wolf flicked his tail again: "Thank you . "Brother Jian Mo."

Jian Mo couldn't help but stroke the little guy's furry head: "You're welcome."

After saying that, Jian Mo straightened up and planned to continue sewing the pillow.

As soon as he stood up straight, his vision changed, Jian Mo immediately saw a row of little heads outside the window - they were all children from the tribe.

Good guy!

Jian Mo stared at the children, it turned out that a gang committed the crime.

Seeing that they had been discovered, the children stood up: "Brother Jian Mo."

Jian Mo looked at the children, then turned to look at the little wolf who was licking the medicine and drinking it, and named the child in the front: "Jiang Xing, Did you ask Zhou Dao to come over to me?"

Jiang Xing wrinkled his nose and whispered, "He ate too much meat last night. I'm afraid he'll get sick."

Jian Mo couldn't help but ask Xiao Lang for fear of scaring the child. Jiang Xing, a big boy, was not polite: "Where did you get the meat?"

Jiang Xing didn't dare to look at Jian Mo for a moment: "Well, that..."

This guy said "that" for a long time without being able to explain clearly.

Jian Mo pointed at the child next to him: "He Feng, tell me."

He Feng, who was pointed out, also said: "I, I..."

Jian Mo knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it, and said with a straight face: "You won't say it, right?"

Jiang Xing quickly glanced at Xiaolang: "Just, it floated in the river."

"Floated in the river!!!" Jian Mo took a breath, "You dare to eat the meat that floated in the river? Or raw meat?"

Jiang Xing: "We smelled it, it's okay."

He Feng: "It was frozen hard, we smashed it for a long time before we picked it up, only Zhoudao ate too much. "

Jian Mo looked at the other children. The children behind Jiang Xing nodded in unison.

Yes, you are quite proud, right?

Jian Mo rubbed his forehead: "First of all, I want to praise you for calling the sick friends to come to me."

The children's eyes lit up and they all looked up at Jian Mo expectantly.

Jian Mo couldn't help it anymore and slapped Jiang Xing in the head: "Then I'm going to criticize you. You dare to eat anything indiscriminately. What will happen to your stomach after eating it?"

He Feng insisted: "We have smelled it and tasted it. Yes, the taste is normal."

Jian Mo also gave He Feng a heads up and said, "It's normal. Isn't Zhoudao sick? And you guys, come in quickly and take a bowl of medicine too."

Jian Mo found out what's left. Ingredients for digestion were prepared and a pot of medicine was prepared for the children.

This time he did not put any honey cubes, but also poured a large bowl for each child and let them drink it.

Every child was so sour that his face wrinkled up like a little old man.

Jian Mo checked their conditions one by one. She didn't know whether it was because the dead animals they ate were indeed fine, or because the children were relatively thick-skinned. Except for the little wolf who was indigestible and had some signs of gastroenteritis, none of the children were sick.

Despite this, Jian Mo was still worried about their health and went to each house to talk to them.

He didn't tell the parents that the children had eaten dead meat. It was not easy for the children to trust him. If he had told the parents, they probably wouldn't come to him if something happened next time.

What he told the parents was that it was a little cold at night and he wanted to use these little cubs to keep their beds warm.

It can be considered as staying and observing.

The parents had no objection and enthusiastically asked their children to accompany him every day until Wu Jiong came back.

Jian Mo looked at these big-hearted parents and couldn't help but mention that they should pay attention to their children in winter.

If a child is quiet, he must be acting like a monster.

The parents were very generous, and no one understood what he meant.

Several people told Jian Mo in turn that the tribe had arranged patrols and no wild beasts dared to enter the tribe. It was fine and there was no need to worry too much.

Jian Mo was helpless.

It's better to wait until Wu Jiong comes back and tell Wu Jiong to remind him.

After observing the children for two days and seeing that they were fine, Jian Mo sent them home to sleep, leaving only the little wolf.

The little wolf is still a little indigestible and needs to drink the medicinal soup for two more days.

The day Wu Jiong came back, he saw a little white wolf following Jian Mo, facing towards him, his eyes darkening.

Jian Mo also followed Wu Jiong's gaze and looked back, explaining: "The little guy has been a bit indigestive these past two days. I kept him at home for two days, and he kept me warm by the way."

Wu Jiong bent down . Picking up the little white wolf: "The Chen family's Zhoudao."

Jian Mo nodded: "Yes, that's the little guy."

The little white wolf huddled in Wu Jiong's arms, not daring to move.

Jian Mo pinched the little white wolf's claws to remind him, and then the little guy called out in a low voice: "Clan leader."

The sound was as low as a mosquito's hum.

Jian Mo originally wanted to file a complaint, but seeing the little guy acting like this, forget it, let's file the complaint behind his back.

The little ones are quite afraid of Wu Jiong, so they complain in person - don't leave a psychological shadow on the little ones.

Chapter 39 The

little white wolf was chubby and soft. He huddled in Wu Jiong's arms and did not dare to move. He only blinked at Jian Mo with his big eyes.

Seeing the little guy's appearance, Jian Mo touched his fur-covered head and said to Wu Jiong: "Let the little guy go out to play."

Wu Jiong looked down at the little white wolf: "Let's play outside. "

The little white wolf let out a sweet cry and whispered: "I know, I know, patriarch."

As he said that, the little guy's buttocks were pupated, his claws began to scratch, and he just wanted to get down to the ground.

Wu Jiong put the little guy down smoothly. The little guy spread his paws and ran out of the hospital without a trace.

Jian Mo turned to look at Wu Jiong: "Your child is so lucky."

Wu Jiong: "They are afraid of me."

Jian Mo couldn't help laughing: "I can see it."

Wu Jiong took something out of his arms: "Here, a gift "

It was cloudy today and the light was not very good. Jian Mo smiled with her eyes bent, and her vision was not very clear for a while.

He stepped forward and took the thing, only to find that the thing was heavy and had body heat, and it felt very strange in his hand.

Jian Mo opened his eyes and looked carefully, only to realize that there was actually a metal dagger in his hand.

The metal dagger was paired with a delicate wooden scabbard. He gently pulled out the entire dagger, and the edged dagger shone coldly in the room.

He has been here for so long, he has used shell daggers and animal bone daggers, but this is the first time he has seen a metal dagger.

This familiar touch, familiar weight -

Jian Mo sniffed.

Wu Jiong came up and said, "This time when I went out, other things were changed by the tribe. Only the dagger was changed by me personally. Do you like it?"

Jian Mo nodded vigorously: "I like it very much! Thank you!"

Jian Mo has been using it for so long. Shell Knife misses the modern knives on Earth very much, and often thinks that it would be nice if he even brought a fruit knife when he traveled through time.

Unfortunately, all he had with him was his mobile phone, keys, cans and the like.

He had previously thought about melting keys, cans and other metals to make other tools.

After taking inventory later, I felt that the amount of metal was too small, and the temperature in the kiln should not melt it, so I was too lazy to bother.

Jian Mo looked at the dagger: "I didn't expect that you could get metal utensils when you went out this time. Is this a copper alloy dagger?"

It is difficult for metals in nature to form pure metals, and there should be no purification technology here. Most of the utensils made are It's an alloy appliance.

Judging from the slightly red color, it should be copper alloy.

Copper alloys have a relatively low melting point and are relatively simple to create.

Wu Jiong shook his head: "I don't know. There is nothing similar near our tribe and I haven't studied it."

Jian Mo: "Are there no metal deposits in the tribe's territory?"

Wu Jiong: "No. This is the first time we have changed to this kind of equipment. When I arrived, I searched the territory specifically, but finally found that there was none."

Jian Mo was a little regretful. If there were metal deposits in the tribe, he might be able to try to mine and forge them based on the knowledge he remembered in his mind.

Wu Jiong added: "They can't make the glazed pottery and glass we make. They like glazed pottery and glass very much. The two tribes also agreed to wait for a while before exchanging a batch of supplies."

Jian Mo: "That's too much. Okay."

Wu Jiong nodded: "I have asked them to make the hoes and hatchets you like, and I should be able to exchange them for you next time."

Jian Mo didn't expect him to be so considerate and said in an instant. : "Okay. If we have a hoe and a hatchet, it will be much easier to go out to collect next year."

Wu Jiong nodded. Jian Mo was weak, so it would be more convenient to have useful tools.

After being out for several days, Wu Jiong didn't bring much clothing. Now he came back and planned to go upstairs to change clothes and take a shower.

The two hadn't seen each other for a few days. Jian Mo had a lot to say to Wu Jiong, so he kept following him.

Wu Jiong went upstairs, and so did he.

Neither of them felt anything was wrong.

After going upstairs, Wu Jiong untied the animal skin and took off the heavy animal skin robe, revealing the strong body underneath.

Jian Mo was looking at the copper alloy dagger in his hand, and never noticed that he was already taking off the animal skin, and even forgot to turn around.

As a result, Jian Mo saw Wu Jiong's entire body.

On a cloudy day, a faint light shines through the glass windows, giving the second floor a different kind of light and shadow.

Wu Jiong's body was exposed to this light and shadow.

This young orc has delicate skin and perfect muscles. They are not the big, stretched muscles that can be trained in the gym, but muscles that are contracted and look extremely explosive.

The almost perfect body brought the ultimate visual impact to Jian Mo. He seemed to see a sculpture carefully carved by an artist, and his eyes were full of power and beauty.

When Wu Jiong turned slightly sideways, his waist twisted. Because his waist was extremely narrow, his hips appeared unusually straight. The shadow on the front of his body made Jian Mo's eyes widen involuntarily.

All Jian Mo could think about was: So it's so different from a dog!

Jian Mo was stunned for two or three seconds, staring ahead, unable to react or look away.

Wu Jiong was changing clothes and didn't notice him.

After a while, Jian Mo suddenly came back to his senses and said, "I'm going to see the other supplies that the tribe got in exchange."

Then, he turned around and ran away.

Wu Jiong didn't have time to stop him.

In the tribe, Qingkuo and the others were taking inventory of the materials exchanged in the open space.

Jian Mo quickly ran over and everyone raised their heads to greet him.

He didn't know whether it was because he was running too fast or for some other reason, but his heart was beating so hard that it was about to jump out of his chest.

Qing Kuo glanced at him and asked, "Why are your ears so red?"

Jian Mo reached out and covered his ears: "It's freezing."

Qing Kuo took out a small clay pot from the exchanged supplies and handed it to Jian Mo. : "This kind of animal oil is very useful for frostbite and burns. You can apply a little bit on it."

Jian Mo's ears were not frostbitten at all, but he couldn't refuse the kindness at this time, so he had to dig out a little oil and apply it on both ears.

His ears were originally only red, but after the paint was applied, they became red and bright, making them even more conspicuous.

Qing Kuo took a look, with a smile in his eyes.

Zhou Fu stood next to him and said with a bad smile, "Why are you so afraid of the cold? The clan leader is finally back. You don't need to borrow a baby to warm your bed now, right?"

Jian Mo looked at this round-eyed, delicate orc and quietly changed the subject: "Speaking of the cubs, they seem to have some indigestion recently. They need to pay attention to what they eat."

When they ate the meat of dead animals that day, almost half of the tribe's cubs participated.

Qiuli from the Zhoufu family and Banjiu from the Qingkuo family were both there, but these two cubs were relatively familiar with Jian Mo, and felt particularly guilty when they saw him, hiding in the crowd and not daring to stand out.

Jian Mo always gave face to the cubs. They didn't stand up, and he didn't force the two cubs out.

After all, he was Xiao Zai's biological father. As soon as Jian Mo mentioned that they had indigestion, Qing Kuo and Zhou Fu immediately recalled that the Xiao Zai at home had indeed had some indigestion in the past two days and didn't like to eat much.

They turned their attention to the health of their cubs and quickly asked: "Why are you so fine, but suddenly indigestion?"

Jian Mo took advantage of the situation and said: "I'm not sure, eating too much or eating cold and hard food can cause this. Sometimes the little ones will eat outside, please pay attention."

The parents present nodded.

Just when Qing Kuo was about to say something, a loud shout came from the jungle on the mountain: "Ahhhhhhh--"

The sound sounded like the cry of the orcs.

The sub-orcs who were counting supplies reflexively picked up the sticks, daggers, stones, etc. at hand, and looked at the place where the sound came from in surprise.

Qing Kuo made a quick decision: "Come with me and have a look!"

With the fighting power of the orcs, if they screamed in such a panic, something must have happened.

Jian Mo's palms were sweating, and he ran up the mountain with the copper alloy dagger and followed the crowd.

Could it be a hungry beast sneaking in?

But don't let anything happen!

Their riverside tribes were built in the river valley, which can be considered as built on the mountains.

Except for a river valley on one side, the other three sides are mountains.

The orcs patrolling the tribe would wander around the mountain twice every day. The beasts on the mountain had been cleared up long ago. I wonder what kind of beast the orcs encountered?

As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, the orcs on the mountain ran down.

A flock of birds chased behind the orcs, like bees, pecking around them desperately.

They were chasing birds and calling.

It turned out to be a bird.

The orcs who came to help breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it's a bit tricky for birds to surround people and peck at them, it's not a big deal. Judging from the appearance of the birds, they are not poisonous birds.

Everyone stepped back and noticed that these young orcs were in a hurry, their clothes were disheveled, and they looked very embarrassed.

There was an orc who didn't even fasten his animal skin skirt. He could only grab the animal skin skirt around his waist with one hand and wave it with the other hand, trying to drive away the birds flying above and behind him. He was in a hurry and exposed half of his buttocks. .

Jian Mo only thought it was funny when he saw it. He didn't have the impact at all when he saw Wu Jiong's body.

Oops, why did you think of going there again?

Wu Jiong's almost perfect body appeared in front of Jian Mo's eyes again, and he could even recall the texture of the body in the light and shadow, and his ears couldn't help but feel warm again.

The orcs attracted so many birds that the patrolling orcs finally noticed the situation and rushed over to help.

There are already birds in the tribe, and they usually don't intercept small birds when patrolling. I didn't expect these small birds to attack people like crazy.

Feathers were flying around the scene, and the orcs were running around holding their heads.

Jian Mo looked at the situation at the scene and felt something was wrong. He shouted to remind: "Is there anything on you that particularly attracts birds?"

The orcs ran while shouting:

"What?! We are almost naked!" " There's nothing else on us!"

"That's right! Brother Jian Mo, do you think we have anything on us?"

"We're not wearing anything." I haven't picked out the bird's feathers or anything. At most, I have eaten this kind of bird in the past two days.

"Yes, this kind of bird tastes good,"

Qing Kuo shouted from the side. Then why are they running after you?"

The orcs were almost crying, and they shouted as they ran: "Who knows, they couldn't have discovered that we have eaten their kind!"

Some orcs just can't stand it! He opened his robe and turned into a big cat on the spot. He stood up on his hind legs, said "meow" and waved his cat fist at the group of birds.

The big cat is much faster than the small bird, and has a natural restraint effect on the small bird.

He chased away the birds that surrounded him.

The other orcs followed suit and turned into big cats or giant wolves. They turned around and patted the birds with their paws, howling and taking revenge.

Jian Mo looked at this group of orcs and felt amused and amused.

What is the difference between these big cats and dogs and the cats and dogs on earth?

How could he have psychological fluctuations in Gouzi's body?

It's simply impossible!

After convincing herself in her heart, Jian Mo calmed down and her IQ returned at the same time.

He looked at the group of big cats and dogs and asked, "How did you eat? Did you eat them raw?"

The orcs beat the birds away and pretended not to hear.

Jian Mo looked at their looks and asked, "Did you just go to the toilet in the forest?"

There are no special toilets in this world. Everyone digs holes in the forest to use the toilet, and then buries them after using the toilet, which is not clean. pollute.

Jian Mo guessed it right the first time, and the orcs stopped talking.

Jian Mo found it even more funny: "Could it be that the bird found the same kind of smell in your feces and went crazy?"

Silence is today's answer.

Jian Mo couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

The orcs and sub-orcs beside him also burst into laughter.

The orcs who were still swatting at the birds did not care about chasing the birds away amidst laughter, and ran away with their paws raised.

They ran far away, and the people behind them were still saying frantically: "Hahahaha——"

Chapter 40

A bird that can peck people came to the Lime Tribe. After Wu Jiong received the news, he led Dejiang and the others to clean up a group of them.

Soon, the tribe was clean, and it didn't matter if the cubs played outside.

Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief after getting the news that the bird was almost cleaned up.

He always felt that there were particularly reliable orcs like Wu Jiong in the tribe, so young orcs were particularly unreliable.

It has to be said that most of the people in the tribe have simple personalities and honest hearts. More than half of it is because Wu Jiong and the others are supporting them from the front. Everyone has little pressure to survive, so they have particularly good personalities.

Wu Jiong and the others cleaned up the bird, and Jian Mo took the opportunity to mention the benefits of eating cooked food, especially emphasizing that children should try not to eat raw food.

Ban Ming and the others felt aggrieved: "Brother Jian Mo, we don't actually eat raw meat often."

Jian Mo looked over.

Ban Ming: "Really, if you don't believe me, ask A Hu, A Hu doesn't lie much."

A Hu was the orc whose house collapsed and his butt was punctured, so he had to come to Jian Mo for treatment.

Seeing Jian Mo looking over, Ah Hu nodded seriously: "Only when we are tired of eating cooked food, we will cut the raw meat into strips and eat it with salt."

Ban Ming: "Really, Brother Jian Mo, look The weather is so cold that the meat is frozen into ice. It's not easy for us to eat raw food."

Jian Mo: "I know, just try not to eat it in the future."

Everyone patted their chests and promised that they would be able to eat it in the future . If you don't eat, don't eat.

Xi Lu's prospective partner Xuan Yin asked: "Brother Jian Mo, does your tribe not eat raw meat at all?"

This...

Jian Mo can't lie easily: "Actually, I do, but I eat less. There are special people before eating meat. Check, most people who have the habit of eating raw meat will also take medicine to avoid parasites."

Jian Mo emphasized the dangers of parasites, and the orcs said that they would be particularly careful when eating meat and would definitely not eat meat with worms.

Ban Ming: "We have very sharp eyes!"

Wu Jiong and the others went out this time and got metal utensils. It happened that the other tribe was also very interested in their pottery and glass.

So both tribes decided to step up production of what the other wanted, and then replace the batch after a while.

Jian Mo was curious about this: "Which tribe smelted the metal tools? It doesn't sound like the tribe I know?"

Wu Jiong: "There is a tribe to the west of the Heroic Tribe, and its name is the Jintuo Tribe. There aren't actually many metals. If you didn't really like our pottery and glass, you probably wouldn't have exchanged them this time."

Jian Mo had never even been to the Xiongying tribe, let alone the tribe to the west. Hearing this, he said: "This. You must have walked a long way this time, are you tired?"

Wu Jiong's eyes were very soft: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Now that the metal utensils have to be replaced, the idle people in the tribe are busy again, sitting in the tribe. Start making pottery in the open space.

The tribe is located in a mountain nest. Compared with the outside, it is already very sheltered from the wind.

After the sun comes out, it's not cold to sit on the open ground and make pottery.

If there is no sun outside and the wind blows, people will not be able to bear it. Not only will they be cold, but their hands will also be prone to cracks due to long-term contact with clay and the loss of oil and water due to friction.

This is the first time Jian Mo has been cracked by the cold in winter since she was a child.

He didn't have a particularly good idea, so he could only use animal oil to make hand oil. When everyone was making pottery, they would wipe it on if it was too dry.

As for whether applying additional animal oil will affect the quality and yield of the pottery, Jian Mo doesn't care.

We are already in a primitive society anyway, so don't pursue industrial standards.

The pottery is only slightly made, but your health is more important.

Some people worked overtime in the open space to make pottery, while others went out to fish for pottery, cut down trees, and burn charcoal.

This time when they went out, they also got metal axes.

Even though it was just a copper alloy axe, it was much more efficient at chopping firewood than the previous stone axe.

Especially the strong orcs can chop down a hardwood with three axes. Before, they had at least ten axes, and they often broke the axes.

Now that we have good axes, everyone feels that they are very convenient. Not to mention the need to burn charcoal, even if they have nothing to do, they can't wait to go to the woods and swing a few axes.

Jian Mo saw that everyone was cutting down more trees recently and was a little worried.

Wu Jiong arranged for everyone to go up the mountain to plant trees. Some of the tree species they collected themselves, some were purchased from other tribes. There were tens of thousands of tree species planted. Even if the germination rate was only one-third, it was very impressive. .

Jian Mo saw that there was no chance that Shan would become bald in a short period of time, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

For a Chinese who has read books for more than ten years, he really remembers planting trees and protecting the environment very well.

They were busy day by day, first making pottery blanks, and then glazing them. After the glaze had dried, they sent them to the kiln for firing.

Since burning glass requires a pottery box, Jian Mo got inspiration from this and simply equipped the pottery with a pottery box.

He remembered that after having a pottery box, the success rate of firing pottery would increase.

As for whether it is an illusion, we have to wait until the kiln opens today to find out.

Every day when the kiln was opened, Jian Mo woke up very early, as did everyone else in the tribe.

Everyone came out of their respective homes in a tacit understanding, gathered together, and walked to the river, preparing to open the kiln.

The tribe has always made pottery, but Jian Mo hasn't opened the kiln with everyone for a long time, and he is full of expectations at this time.

Standing beside the kiln, he could still feel the heat radiating from the kiln: "I wonder how this batch of pottery is firing?"

The temperature requirements for firing glass and pottery are different, so they must be fired separately. This kiln It's full of pottery.

Qing Kuo stared at the pottery kiln: "It's not a big problem. Our pottery was made very well, and we controlled the heat well yesterday. The pottery inside must be good."

Jian Mo looked forward to it: "Then we will open the kiln now? Qing Kuo

: "Let's go."

Jian Mo and Qing Kuo broke off the first piece of clay that sealed the kiln, and the smell of fireworks inside came out.

What a familiar smell.

Jian Mo sniffed and sped up her movements. The people around her also stretched out their hands. Everyone was scrambling to remove the kiln mud, waiting for the kiln to open.

After the kiln mud is broken open, the smell of charcoal fire and earth inside becomes stronger.

Qing Kuo stretched out his hand to check the temperature inside the kiln: "You can go in."

Everyone then bent down and got into the kiln and took out the pottery boxes one by one.

The pottery boxes they made ranged from large to small, and each one was different.

Judging from the appearance, these pottery boxes should be thoroughly burned.

Jian Mo couldn't help but want to know what was going on inside the pottery boxes. Seeing a pile of pottery boxes already piled on the ground, he reached out and opened a few.

He opened a total of six pottery boxes, of which the pottery in four was intact, one had slight cracks, and the other was broken into several pieces.

Jian Mo silently calculated and found that the success rate of using pottery boxes to bake pottery was pretty good, much higher than the success rate of sending them all into the kiln and firing them one on top of the other.

The quality of the pottery produced in this way is also better, and the glaze seems to be more uniform and brighter.

Just as Jian Mo was thinking about it, Zhou Fu poked his head over to take a look: "The firing is so beautiful! We actually fired blue pottery this time!"

This time they also used several kinds of glazes, and most of the pottery they fired was It is tan, but one of the pottery cups has a light blue color.

Jian Mo took a look and immediately remembered: "This is glaze made from soil taken from the cave."

I don't know what compounds the soil in the cave contains, but it looks pretty good-looking.

Zhou Fu picked up the pottery cup and observed it carefully: "It's so beautiful. Next time we bake, let's bake more blue pottery, right?"

Jian Mo didn't have any objections: "Okay, let's see if we can bake it next time." You have to come out."

Qing Kuo heard that blue pottery was found. After going out to look at it, he said, "I have never heard of any tribe that can make blue pottery. I should be able to exchange for more things if I take it out. "

Jian Mo: "Replace metal?"

Qing Kuo smiled: "You only care about metal now? Let's go and see it together next time." Jian

Mo: "Okay, I will definitely go with you next time."

There were still many pottery boxes that had not been moved out. They talked for a while and then went in to move them out again.

In order to allow ventilation, they also opened the holes on the top of the kiln. At this time, the morning light shone in, and the kiln was not too dark.

Jian Mo got used to the environment in the pottery kiln after going in and out a few times.

Jian Mo was moving and found that there was white powder under the stone pillars used to support the kiln roof.

This powder looks quite familiar.

He stretched out his feet and rubbed them, and they felt quite delicate.

Qing Kuo moved a pottery box, and when he came in, he saw him rubbing the pile of powder, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Jian Mo said, "What is this? How come white powder comes out after burning?"

Qing Kuo followed. During the whole process, he lowered his head and glanced: "The stone has been burned, right?"

Jian Mo intuitively felt something was wrong: "The stone has been burned?"

Qing Kuo: "Yes, maybe the fire in the kiln was too strong and the stone couldn't bear it. That was it for the first two times. After the burning, there were always stones that were burned to powder, so we had to go to the river to pick up new stones to build them up."

Jian Mo reached out and touched a few of the stone pillars made of stones. Sure enough, it was burned to powder.

He watched the changes in the stone, and his heart beat fast and fast.

Jian Mo swallowed hard: "This powder seems to be -"

Qing Kuo: "What is it? Don't touch it with your hands, it will sting you."

Sting?

Jian Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately put down the pottery box in his hand, bent down and swept the white powder into his animal skin robe, and then ran out: "Let me go and see what this is?!"

No one was interested . Understanding what he was going to do, they all got out of the way.

There was a river next to it. Jian Mo ran to the river, squatted down and dug a hole with stones, and then poured the white powder into it.

Qing Kuo ran out.

Jian Mo ran to the river and was hitting the surface of the river with rocks.

Qing Kuo saw that he was so excited that his face turned red, and he smashed stones with him: "You want water?"

Jian Mo: "Yes, I seem to know what the white powder is!"

With a "boom", the surface of the river was covered with water. Smashed through, the stone sank to the bottom of the river.

Jian Mo took a look, rubbed his animal skin robe, tried his best to wipe off the powder on his hands, and then reached out to pick up a handful of water.

Qing Kuo followed him, watching him walk to the pit with white powder and pour the water into it.

With a "sizzle", big bubbles appeared after the powder came into contact with the water, and hot water vapor evaporated.

Qing Kuo was startled: "Why is this stone powder hot?"

Jian Mo: "It releases heat when it encounters water!"

People around came to watch, and Jian Mo said happily: "This is lime!"

Jian Mo said to herself He said to himself: "I actually forgot about lime. Calcium carbonate is heated and burned into lime. I don't remember such a basic knowledge point."

The people around him didn't know what he was mumbling. After hearing a few words, Ye Luo asked: "This What can lime be used for?"

Jian Mo: "Disinfection!"

The people around were confused.

Jian Mo works as a veterinarian and often uses slaked lime for disinfection. When he mentioned lime, his first reaction was to think of this.

He looked up and saw everyone's confused faces. He remembered that under normal circumstances, there were not many opportunities to use hydrated lime, so he smiled: "It can also be used to build houses."

Qing Kuo: "How to build these slaked lime? Add water and mix it. Mud, can it be dried into bricks?"

Jian Mo waved his hands: "No, no, no, lime is completely different from mud. Just add some water and some sand to make lime mortar, which can be used to bond the stones firmly. "

Everyone . Don't quite understand.

Jian Mo couldn't explain, so he just said: "Isn't our stone house leaking all the time? It was repaired with clay. The clay is easy to fall off. With this lime, the effect is different."

Qing Kuo: "Really?" Jian Mo couldn't

explain it . Mo: "You will know after I make up the details for everyone to see. I just want to try it first to see how much sand and water should be mixed with the lime and how long it will take to dry it?"

There is still lime in the cave dwelling, but not much.

Jian Mo ran home to get the basket, but only collected half of the basket in total.

Everyone hurriedly took out the pottery and then watched Jian Mo make lime mortar.

Jian Mo is also half-assed in this aspect, he just knows the principles.

He asked everyone to help him collect fine sand, then add lime and water, and stir it into a mortar with a wooden stick.

When lime is added to water, a large amount of heat energy is released, which makes everyone a little scared.

Only the two bolder sub-orcs, Qing Kuo and Ye Luo, dared to come and help.

Jian Mo gave them a large wooden board and asked them to use the wooden board to lift up the lime mortar and spread it into the gaps in the stone wall.

If the clay in the stone wall is loose, remove the clay before applying lime mortar.

When the orcs who cut down the trees came back, Jian Mo had already wiped half of the wall with Qing Kuo and Ye Luo.

Jian Mo then remembered that he was so excited that he didn't tell Wu Jiong in advance.

Wu Jiong came over, understood it and said, "It's okay, just keep applying it."

Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief, nodded happily and said, "This is lime mortar, which is much better than clay for plastering walls, and the color is better than clay. Wait until it dries. After you see the effect, I will explain it to you in detail."

Wu Jiong took the board from his hand and said, "I'll wipe it."

Di Ya and another orc also took the board from Qing Kuo and Ye Luo. He wiped the wall quickly.

The experienced sub-orcs were on the sidelines and commanded.

Plastering the wall with lime mortar is much easier than plastering the wall with mud. It does not fall off easily and is clean and white after application. It looks very pleasing to the eye.

Since there was not much lime mortar, they plastered one wall.

After finishing the application, Jian Mo took people into the house to feel the effect of the mortar.

The lime mortar plastered walls were indeed tighter than the clay plastered walls. They stood in the house and could hardly feel the wind coming through the gaps in the brick walls.

Qing Kuo put his hand on the wall: "There is really no wind."

Jian Mo: "Really? Lime is more viscous than clay. It is not easy to crack after drying, and it is not easy for wind to enter."

Qing Kuo : "It's a pity that the lime harvested this time is too little. It would be nice to have more."

"It doesn't matter." Jian Mo said in a good mood, "We will observe it for two days. If the lime mortar is really useful, we will burn it again." One batch."

Qing Kuo asked, "Is this lime easy to bake?"

Jian Mo said, "It's very easy to bake. You'll know in two days."

Everyone looked at the newly applied lime. All are full of expectations.

It is not easy to build a house in the tribe. The stone is very strong, but the clay is not so good. It often has to be repaired. When the wind and rain are strong and the soil is softened, the house will easily collapse.

Since the establishment of the tribe, there have been at least a dozen cases of houses collapsing and injuring people.

The latest example is Ahu and his friends. If they hadn't slept in animal form, it would have been more than just smashing their butts into flowers.

Jian Mo also thought of this and comforted everyone: "Houses built with lime mortar are much stronger than those built with clay. If the effect of lime mortar is good after two days, we will burn more lime and make everyone's houses Fix it."

No one had any objections.

Qing Kuo reached out and touched the stone wall: "Then we'll see."

Jian Mo was not familiar with architecture and thought it would take a few days for the lime to dry out.

Unexpectedly, when he got up the next day, Wu Jiong told him: "The lime mortar outside has dried."

"No way? Did it dry so fast?" Jian Mo was stunned and said immediately, "I'll go out and take a look. ."

Jian Mo walked out and touched the lime mortar in the cracks of the stone.

The lime sand berries have indeed dried and are so hard that they can't be easily broken off by hand.

The effect looked just like the mortar he had seen in the countryside as a child.

This is so useful!

"It seems like it's really okay." Jian Mo's eyes were full of surprise and he said to Wu Jiong, "I'll ask Qing Kuo and the others to come over and take a look. If everyone thinks it's okay, we'll burn another batch of lime."

Wu Jiong: "I think it's OK."

Jian Mo: "I think it's OK too. This time it was really unexpected. If it weren't for the stone pillars in the kiln, I wouldn't have been able to remember it."

Wu Jiong: "Not necessarily. Wait until next year. You may have remembered it when we were renovating the house in the spring."

Jian Mo asked, "No, why do we need to renovate the house next spring?"

Wu Jiong said, "There is a lot of rain in spring, and the clay is easy to soften, so you need to pay more attention. "

Jian Mo raised his eyebrows: "Doesn't that mean this lime came at the right time?"

Wu Jiong nodded: "You are our lucky star."

Jian Mo smiled, with a very vivid expression on his face: "I'll go first. Come and have a look at them."

Actually, you don't have to look for them one by one. You just need to shout in the open space and everyone will come out when they hear the noise.

Jian Mo was embarrassed to shout, so Zhou Fu came out and shouted for him, asking everyone to go to the patriarch's house to see the effect of the lime mortar.

Most of the tribe had seen lime mortar yesterday and were very curious about its effects.

Now that I heard it, it solidified so quickly. Almost everyone ran out to watch.

Everyone gathered around the concrete stone wall of Wu Jiong's house and looked at it again and again.

Jian Mo glanced at Wu Jiong and saw that he had no intention of objecting, so she said, "If you are interested, you can squeeze it with your hands. The lime mortar is very strong and not easy to crush."

​​Hong Qiu asked curiously from the side: "Then what if it's broken?"

Jian Moxiao: "If it's broken, apply the lime mortar again. It's easy to burn lime anyway. You'll know in two days."

Dejiang touched the cement mortar and pinched a piece of it . He raised the small piece in front of his eyes and said, "Actually, it's not completely dry yet. It will be stronger when it dries completely."

Jian Mo: "Yes, after all, it's only one day and one night, and the water has not completely evaporated."

Dejiang nodded: "I think it's OK. Burn out the lime first and plaster the walls with lime. It is much better than clay. "

Jian Mo: "The main reason is safety. Didn't you say that there are more winds and rains in spring and the house will collapse easily? It would be better if you use lime mortar. It's not that worrying if we are alone at home."

Adult orcs and sub-orcs react very quickly, and they are not easily injured if the house collapses.

The children were different. Jian Mo looked at the kittens, wolves and foxes in the crowd who could not yet transform, with worry in her eyes.

He always felt that the reaction of the little guys was a bit slow, and it would be bad if they were injured.

Jian Mo's words simply spoke to the hearts of the parents.

People who were still hesitant at first, after hearing this, immediately said that it doesn't matter if they don't make pottery and glass yet, they have to burn out the lime quickly and repair the house.

Jian Mo said: "Let's take these two days. I'll see what kind of rocks I need to collect to burn lime."

After saying that, Jian Mo looked at Wu Jiong and said, "What do you think?"

Wu Jiong nodded: "Okay."

Everyone cheered . stand up.
