Chapter 81 Onion
may have heard the chirping sound, and another cub came running happily from behind.
As soon as they arrived at the secret forest, they saw Wu Jiong and Jian Mo waiting in the forest. They were frightened and turned around to run away.
However, none of them could escape, and Wu Jiong caught them all by the scruff of their necks.
Jian Mo looked at the cubs lined up in a row, ready to be trained obediently, and didn't know what to say.
After calming down, Jian Mo asked the cubs: "Who has eaten Jiujiu's food?"
The cubs looked at me, I looked at you, and secretly looked at Wu Jiong, but they didn't dare to speak.
Seeing them like this, Jian Mo turned around and pushed Wu Jiong: "You go back first, I'll talk to them."
Wu Jiong nodded, turned and left.
After Wu Jiong left, the cubs breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:
"We didn't eat anything."
"Jiujiu never brought food before.
" "We just taught it to hold the rice bowl yesterday afternoon."
"Jian Jiujiu ." Brother Mo, we just want to have a taste, and we don't want to steal Jiujiu's rice. "
Is this a matter of grabbing Jiujiu's rice?
Jian Mo almost laughed angrily and turned to look at Jiujiu: "Jiujiu, have you really never brought food to the little ones?"
Jiujiu's ears were pressed against his scalp, forming airplane ears, and his eyes were looking down, not daring to look at them at all. Jian Mo: "Hey."
That means there is really no more.
Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "The food in Chiujiu is not hygienic, you are not allowed to eat it! If you want to eat, come to us and eat at home, you know?"
The cubs secretly looked up to see that Jian Mo was not angry. means, nodding obediently.
Seeing how frightened they were, Jian Mo said in a gentler tone: "You can play with Jiujiu, but don't share food with Jiujiu, and you are not allowed to fly with Jiujiu."
The cubs had never thought of letting Jiujiu carry you before . Flying away, Jian Moyi's words seemed to have inspired them. Their eyes were bright and they looked at Jiu Jiu quietly.
A vein twitched on Jian Mo's forehead: "If you dare to let Jiu Jiu fly on his back, I will sue you."
Seeing that Jian Mo was really angry, the cubs hurriedly closed their paws and squatted down obediently, and they all said no.
Jian Mo didn't believe them and decided to educate Jiujiu later, making sure to make the seriousness of the matter clear to prevent these little guys from messing around.
Jian Mo educated the cubs and let them go back.
After letting the cubs leave, Jian Mo turned to educate and tweet.
You don't need to be so polite when educating your own beasts. Jian Mo's output was so long that he was training Chiew Chiu to the point of wilting.
After the training was over, Jian Mo said that the rations would have to be deducted for two days. During these two days, Jiujiu could just eat grass and stems, and forget about delicious food.
After the education, Jian Mo took Chiu Jiu's meal and went back with Jiu Jiu dejectedly.
Wu Jiong was waiting outside the forest. When he saw Jian Mo coming out, he looked at Jiujiu again, with a smile in his eyes.
Jiujiu's meal was finally given to him, but he wouldn't be treated so well in the next two days.
This guy also knew that Jian Mo was angry, so he didn't dare to express his anger. He didn't even "chirp" anymore, and he focused on being a low-key beast.
In addition to educating the little ones, Jian Mo also talked to the parents and reminded them to pay attention to the food issues of the little ones.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so don't eat indiscriminately. Eating indiscriminately can easily lead to gastroenteritis.
Parents all expressed that they received it, and after returning home, they often took their children to educate them.
Jian Mo thought that the cubs would be afraid of him for a while, but she didn't expect that in the afternoon, when he came back from collecting and chatted with everyone in the open space, the cubs slowly came over and rubbed against his feet.
Banjiu even hooked his legs with her long tail, her furry little face full of hesitation.
Jian Mo knew at a glance that they had something to say, so he endured it for a while, but finally couldn't help it, picked up Banjiu and put him on his lap, rubbing his belly: "Do you have anything to say to me? "
Banjiu asked in a low voice: "Brother Jian Mo, can we still go hunting in your vegetable field? I asked my father, and my father said that he would come to ask you. "
So that's what happened, Jian Mo looked away. Qing Kuo, seeing the smile on Qing Kuo's face, seemed to have no objection.
Jian Mo then touched Banjiu's little head: "Just pay attention to safety, the prey cannot be eaten raw."
Banjiu suddenly became happy: "We know, we won't eat it. Brother Jian Mo, we saw you in the afternoon There are a lot of birds in our vegetable field."
When Jian Mo heard that there were birds in the field, he got excited and said, "Well, please help me catch them. If I catch the birds, I will make shredded meat for you."
The cubs listening nearby couldn't help cheering: "Thank you, brother Jian Mo!"
Jian Mo also smiled: "That's up to you."
In order to make it easier for the cubs to go to the vegetable field, Jian Mo specially pulled Wu Jiong along with him. I went to transport a bunch of big rocks, piled them in the river, and built a simple stone bridge.
The cubs can cross the river directly on the rocks without getting their fur wet.
Worried that the cubs were unreliable, Jian Mo also asked Wu Jiong to talk to the orcs on patrol and pay more attention to the cubs on the other side of the river.
Wu Jiong told Jian not to worry, and they cleaned up the animals outside the tribe again, so that no large animals would dare to come.
Jian Mo was more worried and asked Jiujiu to help keep an eye on the cubs and warn them in time if anything happened.
Jiujiu, who had just had his rations deducted, didn't know if he understood it, but he was quite happy to be able to play with the cubs again.
Jian Mo thought about it. Although Jiujiu was not a powerful beast, it was big and should be quite a deterrent to ordinary animals, so he ignored it.
With the help of the cubs, Jian Mo's vegetable field, the tribe's vegetable field and his own vegetable field nearby are much safer, and no animals dare to come and cause trouble.
Although the cubs' claws haven't grown hard yet, they are still ferocious beasts. They can catch small prey, pounce on birds, and so on.
Jian Mo once saw a bird without eyes that wanted to come down and harm their vegetable plot, but was eventually chased by its cubs until all its feathers fell off.
Jian Mo also kept his promise and made a large pot of shredded pork jerky to distribute to the cubs.
The shredded pork jerky is filled with garlic powder and chili pepper, which is spicy and chewy, and is very popular among the little ones.
The cubs were sweet-mouthed and kept talking around Jian Mo:
"Brother Jian Mo, your cooking is so delicious! This smells so good!"
"Brother Jian Mo, we will go to the vegetable field to guard it tomorrow. You Can you make us some shredded pork jerky again? "
"I like this shredded pork jerky so much, and I like you so much!"
Jian Mo couldn't stop smiling as he was surrounded by a bunch of kids. Next time the cubs catch prey in the fields, they will make jerky for them.
Not tomorrow. The shredded pork jerky is too hard. It will take a while before I can eat it.
The cubs puffed up their chests and expressed that they would take good care of the vegetable patch.
After solving the problem of the vegetable field, Jian Mo continued to go out with the tribe to collect.
There is indeed a lot of food in spring. If they can't eat it all after picking it up, they will dry it into various kinds of vegetables and save them for when the food is insufficient.
Some of Jian Mo's dried vegetables taste quite good. Occasionally, they are used to make braised pork, which has the flavor of braised pork with plum vegetables.
On this day, Jian Mo went out with the people in the tribe and came back in the evening.
As soon as he returned to the tribe, he heard someone calling him. When he looked up, he saw several giant red beasts that looked like foxes and weasels with three big tails running towards him.
He was startled, and it took him a moment to realize that it was the people from the Hongxiu tribe who were coming.
"Doctor Jian Mo!" The giant beast ran to Jian Mo. The sub-orc man climbed down and asked Jian Mo with bright eyes, "Didn't you say you were looking for spring onions before? Can you see if this is the spring onion you want?" "
With that said, the orcs pulled the basket behind them to show Jian Mo: "This is it."
Jian Mo looked at it and found that it was filled with round root balls that looked like garlic.
He grabbed a handful, put it under his nose and smelled it, and sure enough he smelled the slightly pungent sweet and spicy smell of shallots.
He perked up and said, "It looks like it, let me take a look."
The sub-orc man of the Red Beast Tribe said, "Just take a look."
Jian Mo picked up one of the root balls and peeled it open gently.
There are layers inside, a bit like onions, and the onion smell is more obvious.
He put it under his nose and smelled it. Except for the smell of onions, there was basically no other smell.
"It seems to be green onions." Jian Mo asked, "Is it poisonous? Let me try it."
The sub-orc from the Red Beast Tribe said, "It's not poisonous. We ate it before bringing it back. It just doesn't taste good and is spicy to the throat."
Jian Mo laughed . He smiled and said, "If you think it's spicy, it'll be much better if you make it into a dish."
"Forget it, it tastes a bit weird." The people from the Hongxi tribe were not very interested in eating onions, so they only urged Jian Mo, "Doctor Jian Mo , try it quickly."
Jian Mo peeled off the skin in front of them, then gently broke off a piece and put it in his mouth.
The raw onions were really pungent and spicy, and the taste was very strong. Jian Mo couldn't swallow it, so she quickly went to the side to spit it out, and then rinsed her mouth with water.
The people from the Red Feral Tribe chased after him and asked nervously: "Isn't that what you want?"
Jian Mo: "No, no, no, it's what I want, but it can't be eaten raw."
The people from the Red Feral Tribe cheered . Get up: "Then this is great!"
Jian Mo: "Thank you."
People from the Hongxi tribe: "You're welcome, Doctor Jian Mo, I've given this basket of green onions to you. The knife you mentioned -"
Jian Mo Mo Shuang said happily: "You come home with me, and I will give you the knife."
The people of the Hongxiu tribe were even happier and followed him towards his home.
On the way, Jian Mo asked: "Why did you only pick the onions and not the leaves on them?"
The people from the Hongxiu tribe replied in a hurry:
"Originally, there were leaves too, but they just came from the Sharp Tooth tribe. It's too far, the leaves are all yellow and dry, and some of them are rotten, so we just need the stems."
"The Sharp Tooth tribe is next door to us. It takes several days to get from them to our tribe. Come over here. The tribe is too far away.
"It doesn't look good with the leaves, so we'll just take the stems." Jian Mo didn't expect that the onions were grown so far away, and said sincerely, "Thank you very much for your hard work
."
He said straightforwardly: "It's okay. If you can change your knives, everything will be worth it."
Jian Mo: "If you can, I will change two knives for you."
These words caused a burst of cheers from the people of the Red Scorpion tribe: "Great! Jian Mo Doctor Mo, you are indeed a good person!"
Jian Mo took them back and wanted to make tea for them.
They all refused, saying that they wanted to rush back to the tribe and had to leave as soon as possible.
Jian Mo went upstairs, found two treasured knives from the box and handed them to them. It was up to them how to divide them among themselves.
Before they left, Jian Mo had a thought and asked, "Can you help me find beans and peppers again?"
The people from the Hongxi tribe were very interested: "What is this?"
Jian Mo took out a wooden board and used charcoal to Draw it for them: "Pepper is a plant with very spicy fruit. It may be round or long, and its color can be black, yellow, red, or green. Once you find it, you will definitely recognize it." It's so spicy that it will make your skin red and swollen no matter if it sticks to your hands or mouth."
Everyone nodded after carefully looking at the peppers drawn by Jian Mo.
Jian Mo drew beans for them again: "Beans may be a plant that grows in pods. They have various shapes, round and flat. They taste nice and have a smooth skin. After peeling them off, they may look like this. "
Jian Mo carefully explained the characteristics of beans and peppers, and said that if he couldn't find them, he could just look for plants with related characteristics.
The people from the Honghui tribe expressed their understanding and would help him inquire about it after he returned. Once they found it, they would exchange metal utensils with him.
Jian Mo told them to look for it, as he had enough metal utensils here.
The people from the Honghui tribe quickly left with two metal knives.
Jian Mo was at home, humming a song and taking out a handful of onions. He planned to make scallion pancakes and bake animal meat with the onions at night.
There wasn't a lot of noodles left in his house, but he finally found onions, so he had to have a good meal no matter what.
Not to mention the roasted animal meat. There must be animal meat every night. Today, I cut it into a fatter piece and baked it with onions. It will definitely taste very good.
Wu Jiong came back soon, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he asked, "Did the people from the Hongxiu tribe send green onions?"
Jian Mo said, "It's green onions. They said they found them in the Sharp Tooth Tribe. That tribe is too far away from us." When it was shipped to us, the green onion leaves were yellow and dry, so we simply kept the green onions."
Wu Jiong nodded: "Is it the green onion you want?"
Jian Mo was even more happy: "I guess it is, right? You'll know if you try it tonight. I'm going to make scallion pancakes and baked meat with onions, and steam some fish. What do you want to eat? I'll add two more dishes, in case you don't get used to the taste of onions later. There's nothing to eat."
Wu Jiong: "It's okay, I'm not picky about food."
Jian Mo: "Then just wait, the food tonight will be delicious!"
Jian Mo is not very good at making pasta, but he can probably do it.
Since he was already in the orc tribe, no one would jump out and accuse him of making unauthentic pasta.
Humming a song, Jian Mo continued to do it.
He first baked the scallion pancakes and then baked the animal meat in a clay pot.
Both sides exuded a rich aroma. The originally spicy onion was fried in oil and turned into a charming onion aroma, even a little sweet.
Jiu Jiu didn't know when he came over. He put his front paws on the kitchen door and drooled while watching them cooking inside.
After the scallion pancake was baked, Jian Mo didn't have time to make other meals, so he took a piece of scallion pancake, tore it in half, gave half to Wu Jiong, and he took half for himself.
Jiujiu was chirping anxiously outside, and there was also a whistling sound coming from his nose.
Seeing that it was about to speak, Jian Mo smiled and gave it a piece of slightly cooled scallion pancake.
After Jiujiu got the scallion pancake, he didn't go back to his nest. He just sat in the yard, holding the scallion pancake with his two front paws and slowly started chewing it.
Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong: "How is it?"
Wu Jiong stared at the scallion pancake: "It tastes completely different from raw onions."
Jian Mo said with satisfaction: "Yes, cooked onions are particularly fragrant. If they are used to make scallion oil, The noodles are also delicious."
After finishing the scallion pancake, Jian Mo continued to cook.
Baked pork with onions is also Jian Mo's favorite. When it was served, he found that this roasted pork basically restored 80% of the taste of roasted pork belly on earth. The remaining 20% ââwas probably due to the wrong sauce.
So fragrant.
This kind of meat is sizzling with oil and has the aroma of green onions. It is simply delicious.
Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong: "What do you think?"
Wu Jiong: "It's delicious, but it's not the same kind of delicious meat as other delicious meats."
Jian Mo understood: "Each has its own deliciousness?"
Wu Jiong nodded: "Yes, the fish you steamed, the sausages you made, and the shredded pork jerky are all delicious."
Jian Mo: "That's right, we have more delicacies there, especially during the holidays, the delicacies are simply too much to eat. Ended."
Wu Jiong: "What is a festival?"
Jian Mo thought for a while: "Maybe it is a day for celebration?"
Jian Mo said, taking the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival as examples.
Wu Jiong: "If that's the case, we have the Beast Festival in spring, the Shade Festival in summer, and the hunting conference in autumn."
Jian Mo doesn't know what the Beast Festival and the Shade Festival are, but he objects to the hunting conference. : "The Hunting Conference is an event, not a festival."
Wu Jiong: "The Hunting Conference will also prepare delicious food and celebrate it."
Jian Mo: "I still don't think it counts. Wait, what is the Beast Festival? It's already over "
Wu Jiong: "It's a day when single orcs and sub-orcs get together to get to know each other and play, mainly to find a partner. It's not the festival yet, we have to wait for the second full moon." Wu Jiong.
After some explanation, Jian Mo learned that at the beginning of spring, everyone was busy hunting and gathering to fill their hungry stomachs all winter and to recuperate their bodies.
On the second full moon day, everyone will gather together to celebrate, and it will also help single orcs and sub-orcs get to know each other.
Wu Jiong said calmly that in spring everyone would particularly want to find a partner, so this festival was created.
Jian Mo doesn't understand, spring is the breeding season.
Because this topic was discussed during dinner, after dinner, the two of them packed their clothes and prepared to go out to take a shower.
Jian Mote brought tooth powder mixed with charcoal powder, and the two of them brushed their teeth thoroughly and washed them thoroughly.
I have to say that the Orc Continent is vast and sparsely populated, so it's quite exciting to go outside.
Jian Mo lay on the big rock, looking at the moon and starry sky that was not yet full moon above her head, and expressed satisfaction with this occasional night exercise.
Spring is indeed the season when all things come to life.
Lazy Jane doesn't think about it.
Chapter 82 The foreign witch doctor
Jian Mo treasures the onions he finally got.
Seeing that the onion still had roots, he found a day to plant it, hoping that it would soon take root in the riverside tribe.
After the onions were planted, I watered them twice, but the leaves had not grown much yet, and bugs appeared.
These small black dot-like insects are firmly covered on the back of the leaves, even if the cubs guard them in their fields every day, there is nothing they can do.
Jian Mo also cleaned up several times himself, and the more he cleaned, the more he cleaned up.
Jian Mo was convinced and muttered to Wu Jiong: "I now understand why everyone is unwilling to plant. Planting such a useless crop causes problems every day. It's better to collect it. If you can collect it, take it home. If you can't collect it, forget it. Anyway, There is no need to worry."
Wu Jiong's warm palm pinched the back of his neck and comforted him: "Let's think of a way."
Jian Mo: "What can we do to eliminate the insects one by one? Drop it?"
Wu Jiong nodded: "There's really nothing I can do about it, I'll do it."
The bug was very annoying, but because Wu Jiong was on his side and was willing to do something practical to help, Jian Mo felt much better. .
Jian Mo leaned over and nuzzled his head: "I'll think about it again."
On the way home, Jian Mo kept thinking of a solution.
When they met Qing Kuo and Min Dang, they saw that Jian Mo's expression was not right and stopped.
Qing Kuo asked: "Did you have a quarrel?"
Jian Mo waved his hand: "No, what did we quarrel about?"
Qing Kuo smiled: "I was shocked. What were you doing with a calm face when there was no quarrel? What happened?"
Jian Mo sighed: "There is something wrong with the crops in the field. I don't know why. As soon as the weather gets warm, insects start to grow on the leaves."
It turned out to be this. Qing Kuo said nonchalantly: "There are also insects on the leaves in our field. Just pinch off the leaves when they grow."
Jian Mo became even more depressed: "There are only a few leaves in total. If you pinch one today and one tomorrow, it's hard to say whether the crop will survive until the day it bears fruit."
Qing Kuo: "No, just pinch it off . No. If you can't plant it, you'll have to go out to pick it. We won't be short of food."
Jian Mo waved his hand: "No, it's such a failure after planting it again. I can't bear the grievance. I'll think of a way. "
Qing Kuo was very happy: "Then you come up with a solution, remember to tell us."
Jian Mo: "Don't worry, I won't leave you behind."
After thinking about it for two days, Jian Mo was sorting out the medicinal materials at home. When I saw spring thunder eggs, I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of various pesticides.
In addition to the serious pesticides sold outside, they actually also have home-made pesticides.
Some poisonous plants can not only poison humans, but are also effective against insects and other animals.
Spring Thunder Eggs can directly cause skin ulcers when applied to the skin. I wonder if they can kill pests when used as pesticides?
Just do it, Jian Mo took a few Spring Thunder eggs, smashed them with stones, soaked them in water, then took them to the ground and sprinkled them on the plants.
If the spring thunder eggs can kill the pests, the leaves will become clean in two days.
He only selected a few crops for experiments, and the scope was very small.
When the home-made pesticide made from Spring Thunder Eggs is sprinkled, no effect can be seen on the first day. There are still insects on the leaves of the crops. On the second day, the leaves look cleaner. On the third day, the pests are completely gone.
It seems that poisonous spring thunder eggs can indeed be used as pesticides!
Jian Mo was delighted and observed the crops carefully.
Without the pests, the leaves are growing vigorously again, especially the newly grown leaf buds, which are fat and thick and in very good condition.
Jian Mo happily said to Wu Jiong, "It's really useful."
Wu Jiong said, "Let's dig up more Spring Thunder Eggs and bring them back."
Jian Mo immediately said, "Take Qing Kuo and the others to dig together and let everyone use this pesticide." Use it to prevent pests from infecting each other."
Wu Jiong had no objection at all: "I think it's okay."
Jian Mo: "I'll tell them now!"
Jian Mo ran to tell Qing Kuo and the others. Everyone was very impressed. Interested, we agreed to dig spring thunder eggs together.
Now is the spring thunder egg growing season. There are many spring thunder eggs outside. They searched for a few days and dug up a lot of them.
After digging up the spring thunder eggs, everyone immediately crushed them and mixed them with water to make local pesticides, which were then used in the fields.
With the help of pesticides, whether it is the fields of each family or the fields of the tribe, the number of insects has decreased significantly, and the crops have also jumped up and are growing very well.
Maybe the crops they planted were domesticated from wild plants. They were accustomed to various harsh growing environments. Now they were transplanted into the fields by humans. With sufficient water, fertilizer and sunlight, they seized the opportunity to grow as fast as they could. Just looks good.
Jian Mo looked at the crops in the field and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Spring Thunder Eggs are poisonous, so Jian Mo specially told the cubs to stay away for the time being.
After saying that, Jian Mo felt uneasy and told the parents again, and asked Wu Jiong to tell the patrolling orcs as well.
Everyone saw that he took it so seriously, and they also warned the cubs a lot.
The cubs knew the seriousness of the matter and agreed obediently.
Fortunately, the cubs had previously captured batch after batch of animals that were causing harm to the fields. Now, almost all the nearby animals have been caught, and they don't dare to cause harm to the fields anymore.
It doesn't matter if they don't go for a while.
As the weather gets warmer, there is more communication between tribes.
When people from other tribes come to their tribe, people from their tribe will also go to other tribes to communicate.
On this day, Qing Kuo and the others came back from the Mengshui tribe and came to visit Jian Mo. He said, "A very powerful witch doctor came from the Mengshui tribe and said he wanted to communicate with you. I wonder if you are interested?"
Jian Modi Once I heard the term "witch doctor" in daily life, I specifically confirmed it: "Is it the kind of witch doctor who can be a priest?"
Qing Kuo was a little surprised: "Can there be other witch doctors?"
Jian Mo quickly waved his hand: "No, I've never heard of a witch doctor before, so I'm a little curious."
Qing Kuo nodded understandingly: "It's true that we rarely have witch doctors here, but that witch doctor is quite real and he looks nice. Okay, if you're interested, let him come. If you're not interested, just refuse."
Jian Mo thought for a while and said, "I think it's okay. Let's go to the Mengshui Tribe to find him?"
Jian Mo hasn't seen his colleagues since he came here. , it's just that some people have some ancestral methods that can deal with a particular disease. As for the medical system, there is no such thing.
I don't know what the condition of witch doctors is, but it would be good if they could learn a little bit.
Qing Kuo heard what he said and said: "I will ask someone to deliver a letter tomorrow and ask the witch doctor to come to our side."
Jian Mo hesitated: "Is it safe to let the witch doctor come to the tribe? There are so many cubs in the tribe -"
Jian Mo had never seen a serious witch doctor, but the word "witch" in the witch doctor made him feel a little in awe. The time travel had already happened, and he was really afraid of these gods and ghosts.
Qing Kuo saw the expression on his face and said with a smile: "Witch doctors are human beings too, don't be nervous. If there is something, let the clan leader take it down with his paw, and there will be no further trouble."
Jian Mo smiled sheepishly: "The main thing is before I haven't seen it before."
After the riverside tribe asked someone to bring the message, the witch doctor came over the next day covered in dust.
This is an old orc man with wrinkles on his face, but he seems to be in good spirits and has a kind expression.
Witch doctors are usually sub-orcs. Orc witch doctors are a bit strange, but the world of orcs is so big. If some tribes like to use orcs as witch doctors, it is nothing special.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong entertained the witch doctor at home.
The witch doctor Lianke said excitedly when he saw Jian Mo: "I've heard of you a long time ago, and I finally met you today."
It seems that this is an outgoing witch doctor. Jian Mo smiled: "Hello , welcome to our riverside tribe."
Lianke nodded and asked impatiently: "Doctor Jian Mo, I heard that you only use medicinal materials and knives to treat diseases, but you don't use witchcraft very much."
Jian Mo wondered what witchcraft is? What, but still nodded: "It is indeed relatively rare."
Lian Ke: "If you don't use witchcraft, what can you use to treat diseases?"
"Just use ordinary medicinal materials." Jian Mo changed the subject, "We have less witchcraft related things here. Do you have many things there?"
Lianke brought the big backpack to his side: "There are many. I specially collected a lot of things rich in witchcraft during this trip. Look -"
Lianke said, taking out all kinds of bones, bugs, tree barks, and animal teeth, etc., laying them out in a mess on the ground, and proudly showing them to Jian Mo.
With the black nails between his nails, Jian Mo almost got goosebumps: "Is this really useful?"
Lian Ke made a stern face: "How could it be useless? Look at this animal tooth, if the tooth hurts, Wear this animal tooth soaked in medicine and it will be cured in a few days."
Jian Mo looked at it suspiciously: "Can I take a closer look?"
With the physique of people in this world, if the gums are inflamed. It's a small problem, but it will recover quickly. It may not have anything to do with the beast's teeth.
But he couldn't say for sure, after all, he had never come into contact with a witch doctor before.
Lian Ke waved his hand generously: "Just take a look."
Jian Mo picked up the animal tooth and looked at it carefully, but couldn't see any mystery.
Lian Ke introduced Jian Mo to several special medicinal materials that can cure diseases, all of which can be worn on the body or burned to ashes and drank.
Jian Mo suspected that this was Zhu Youshu in the orc world, that is, spiritual therapy and the like, which mainly had positive implications for patients and relied on the patients to heal themselves.
When they were in college, although animal medicine and human medicine had overlapping courses, Zhu Youshu was not included, and he had not been exposed to this when he was a pet doctor.
Now that I think about it, it seems to be possible.
Psychotherapy is quite powerful to a certain extent. He may be able to introduce it into his own treatment system to solve problems that cannot be solved temporarily and relieve the pain of patients.
After introducing the things at hand, Lian Ke asked Jian Mo expectantly: "Doctor Jian Mo, do you have any special medicinal materials here?"
Jian Mo really did have some, so he also moved out various jars and jars containing medicinal materials from upstairs to clear away heat and detoxify. There are everything from internal medicines to external medicines for reducing swelling and pain, and there are also several prescriptions specially designed to treat abscesses, trauma, etc.
Lian Ke looked at his medicinal materials and sighed: "I have heard of similar prescriptions, but I didn't expect you to have them here. When applying these medicinal materials to the affected area, do you need to wrap them with cloth?"
Jian Mo Nodding: "It has to be wrapped and fixed outside the wound."
Lian Ke was a little proud: "I can stir the medicinal solution into the ointment and then apply it to the wound. It can be firmly attached without a cloth."
Jian Mo was surprised: " Ointment?"
Lianke took out a jar of dark ointment from the bag and showed it to Jian Mo: "This is the ointment."
As he said that, he took out a piece of wood, scooped out a lump of ointment, and applied it directly to his skin. On the skin, the ointment solidified on the skin, and soon turned into something like animal skin, sticking firmly to the skin.
Jian Mo's eyes widened. Isn't this just like the dog skin plaster on earth?
Jian Mo had learned about traditional plasters and tried to make them.
It's just that traditional plasters require mineral medicinal materials such as cinnabar. He searched for a while and couldn't find them, so he had to give up the idea.
Unexpectedly, this witch doctor actually had similar materials in his hands.
Jian Mo's voice was suppressed with excitement: "Lianke, witch doctor, can I see the ointment in your hand?"
Lianke generously handed the jar to him: "Look, this is my unique prescription, created by myself." Since then, he has treated countless patients."
Jian Mo took it in his hand and examined it carefully. The ointment was like asphalt, and it smelled like medicine. He couldn't tell what it was, but it was indeed very sticky and sticky after drying. .
Jian Mo was moved: "Can the prescription for this ointment be exchanged?"
Lian Ke refused without thinking, "This is not possible. If you want to exchange, I can exchange your prescription with animal teeth, insects, etc. You The prescription for treating abscesses seems to be very effective."
Jian Mo: "That's my special prescription, and I won't change it easily."
Lian Ke: "Oh my, I can smell it, isn't it? Spring Thunder Eggs can indeed cure abscesses, but the effect is a bit overbearing and not as gentle as your prescription."
This old man is actually very knowledgeable, so Jian Mo still refuses: "I just want your ointment, other animal teeth, bugs and the like. "It's not the same system as me, and it's useless if I get it."
Lianke admitted: "When I heard about you before, I thought you were special, but I didn't expect it to be more special than I thought."
To be honest, Jian Mo felt like it was an eye-opener when he saw Lian Ke: "You also brought me a lot of inspiration."
Lian Ke: "That's right, these medicinal materials of mine are still very useful."
Look. Coming to an agreement, Jian Mo smiled and invited Lianke: "How about you stay in our tribe for two days, and we can talk slowly about the plasters and prescriptions in two days."
Lianke agreed: "It's okay."
Chapter 83
The tribes near the Cat Claw River Tribe all knew that a witch doctor came to their tribe.
In this era when there is little entertainment, there is finally something new, and many people come here to watch the fun.
Jian Mo invited Lian Ke to sit in the small clinic.
Everyone came over and saw Lianke's unfamiliar face. They gathered around him and asked him to see a doctor:
"Lianke, witch doctor, I have a little pain in my waist. Is there anything you can do to help me heal it?"
"I have a pain in my butt, okay ?" I accidentally moved it when I was there, and it hurts for several days a year."
"I always have red and hard pimples on my body. Doctor Jian Mo has treated me, but it hasn't been resolved yet. Is there anything Dr. Lianke can do? "
Witch doctor is a specific title in the orc world. When Jian Mo introduced himself to people, he was too embarrassed to call himself witch doctor, so he just called him doctor.
The main thing is that there is no concept of surnames in the orc world, and names are called together. He is used to hearing people call him "Doctor Jian", but hearing "Doctor Jian Mo" feels a bit weird, so he simply calls himself a doctor.
Now that I hear it, I think the witch doctor is still a bit taller.
Jian Mo had no problem with acquaintances from nearby tribes asking for help from other witch doctors in front of him.
His medical skills were average and he did not have the relevant drugs and equipment, so many problems could not be solved.
Thinking of this, Jian Mo calmed down and decided to listen to Lian Ke's treatment plan.
Lianke took out bones engraved with various complex patterns from his pocket, rummaged through them, and handed a piece of bone to the sub-orc who had a backache: "If you have a backache, you can wear this bone. It will stop hurting in two days." ."
The sub-orc took the bone piece gratefully and quickly handed the supplies to Lianke: "Thank you, Witch Doctor Lianke."
Lianke waved, "You're welcome."
Then, Lianke found another bone. He took out the bone fragment and handed it to the orc who had a sore butt: "You can wear this bone fragment and you will feel better in two days."
The orc also handed over the supplies and thanked him.
Immediately after, Lianke observed the orc who had hard pimples on his body, and gave him a pair of dark herbs and asked him to apply it on the pimples, saying that it could relieve the pain.
Jian Mo watched from the side, a little doubtful about this treatment method.
Can such a casual treatment really cure these patients?
Lian Ke was able to give out a treatment plan much faster than Jian Mo. He could basically give a treatment plan with just two glances.
Jian Mo found that his treatment plans were similar. If there was pain, he would give bone chips, if there was a growth, he would give ointment. If there was an ulcer, he would give medicine powder, and if there was pain inside the body, he would give herbal juice.
Jian Mo judged based on the smell of these drugs and felt that the drugs should be similar to each other. They should be the kind of drugs that have some effect but cannot accurately target the symptoms.
Of course, at this time, it was impossible for him to cause trouble for Lianke.
Zhou Fu also noticed it and whispered to Jian Mo from the side: "Some illnesses will get better gradually even if you don't come to see them. The treatment methods of this witch doctor Lianke seem to be of no use."
Xi Lu hurriedly pulled Zhou Fu away : "Keep your voice down, don't be heard."
Zhou Fu: "Let me tell the truth, if I get sick, I will definitely go to Jian Mo, not this witch doctor."
Xi Lu agreed: "If I get sick, Come and find Jian Mo."
Jian Mo waved his hand and asked them to go outside to chat. Although they didn't need to see Lian Ke for medical treatment, it would be offensive if they heard it.
People from several tribes near the Riverside tribe came to see Jian Mo when they were sick. If he couldn't see well, there was nothing he could do in a short time.
Therefore, most of the people who came to see the doctor this time came to see Lian Ke.
Lian Ke happily said to Jian Mo: "I didn't expect that everyone trusts my medical skills so much."
Jian Mo smiled and said: "Indeed."
Lian Ke brought up the old story again: "How about it? Do you want to change the prescription? I have these methods." Many of the medicines are obtained from other tribes. A witch doctor must keep learning so that his medical skills will become more and more sophisticated."
Jian Mo agreed, but said, "I want to change your ointment recipe. Forget about those animal teeth and bugs, I don't like using them."
Lian Ke still said, "That won't work. The ointment is my special skill. Your recipe is a bit inferior."
Jian Mo: "How about you. Let's stay for two more days."
Lianke still couldn't get Jian Mo's prescription, but there were many new things in the Riverside Tribe, the accommodation was very comfortable, and the patients nearby were very generous.
He settled here and thought he could stay for a while longer.
Anyway, to practice medicine here, he only needs to distribute part of the supplies to the Riverside tribe. The Riverside tribe does not interfere with his actions. He is freer than in his own tribe.
At first, everyone was very curious about the new witch doctor and were happy to seek treatment from him.
After a few days, someone raised questions.
Everyone started talking quietly:
"Lian Ke's prescription seems to be of no use. What kind of disease was it before, and what kind of disease is it still after using his prescription?"
"Especially that bone fragment, it looks like an ordinary bone fragment . , I also have leftover food at home, whoever needs it can just carry it in a carrying basket."
"Maybe some diseases are difficult to cure. Doctor Jian Mo can't cure it, and it's not surprising that even witch doctors can't cure it. "
Witch doctor Lianke charges a lot of materials. If Dr. Jian Mo can't cure it, he won't charge him any more.
Hearing that his medical skills were questioned, Lianke became anxious and explained the treatment to the patients. The plan said that it would take some time to see the effect.
The patients didn't say anything, but they didn't quite believe it.
Lian Ke puffed his beard and glared, and said angrily to Jian Mo and the others: "Did I come all the way here just to defraud you of these supplies? I'm an orc, so it's not like I can't collect it myself."
Jian Mo said, "Don't be angry. , There are many diseases that cannot be cured, and we are not beast gods. It is normal for them not to be cured."
Lianke stared: "How could it be possible? Even if it can't be cured, it will be relieved. My medicine will definitely be effective. "
Just like you -" Lian Ke pointed at Jian Mo and said, "If you are willing to use my medicine, you will definitely be able to relieve it."
Jian Mo didn't expect the fire to hit him, and pointed back: "Me?" I'm fine."
He is in good health. After coming to the orc world, even his headaches and fever have basically disappeared because he has exercised up to standard.
Lianke: "Don't you have sub-orc dysplasia? My medical skills are really good. As long as you are willing to wear my bone fragments for three to five years, the disease will definitely be greatly alleviated -" "
Wait!" Jian Mo He quickly interrupted Lianke and said, "I don't have orc dysplasia."
Not to mention orc dysplasia, Jian Mo is not an orc at all, but a human!
Jian Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My problem is a bit complicated and does not require treatment."
Lianke insisted: "There are no complicated diseases, only witch doctors with poor medical skills. Can't your ears come out, your claws come out, or your tail come out? It was very difficult to transform when you were a child, and you almost failed, right?"
Orc Ya Orcs may also fail to transform, but failure to transform is a major flaw. Once they fail, they basically cannot survive.
Jian Mo couldn't explain his origin at all, so he could only wave his hands and say: "It's different. Let's not discuss this problem, let's talk about other things."
Lian Ke bit his tongue and said, "You do have this problem, don't be afraid of treatment. "
Jian Mo: "I don't have any taboos, I just--" This time it was Lian Ke's turn to interrupt Jian Mo: "You might not believe it just from me, but you
will know after you use my medicine powder."
, Lianke found a bag of dark brown medicinal powder with a very strong smell in the bag: "Mix this powder with water, wrap it on your fingertips, and you will know if the claws can come out."
Jian Mo received the bag of medicinal powder. , I didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Wu Jiong stepped forward and took the powder from Jian Mo's hand: "Jian Mo doesn't have Orc Hypoplasia, you don't need to persuade her."
Lianke looked at Wu Jiong with a condemning look: "Hey, how can it not be cured?! This sub-orc dysplasia will affect your lifespan! You can live for three to five hundred years, but Jian Mo can only live for one hundred years. Can you bear it?"
Jian Mo frowned.
He has not been in this world for too long. He really didn't know that orcs can live for three to five hundred years. As for him, being able to live for a hundred years is definitely a blessing.
Is there such a big difference in life span between the two?
Lianke: "Really, I was afraid that you would be suspicious, so I gave you this medicinal powder to use on your fingertips. There must be nothing wrong with your fingertips, right?"
Both Jian Mo and Wu Jiong looked at the packet of medicinal powder.
Seeing their expressions, Lian Ke couldn't help but said: "It's really not poisonous. I'm here, how can I trick you?"
Jian Mo asked hesitantly: "Just add water to make a paste and apply it on your fingertips?"
Lian Ke: "Yes, it's best to apply it at night. It should be effective when you wake up in the morning. It may hurt a little when you apply it, but I promise it's not poisonous, and your claws can be retracted normally after applying it."
Jian Mo was a little excited. Turning to look at Wu Jiong: "How about I try it on the index finger of my left hand?"
Before Wu Jiong could answer, Lianke promised: "You will know after you try it. I will wrap it up for you personally, and there will never be anything wrong."
Others The people watching on the side advised each other:
"Doctor Jian Mo, why don't you give it a try? It's really not a joke to affect life span."
"I smell this powder, and I feel that it is really not poisonous."
"Speaking of which, I have A friend went to another tribe to mate with a sub-orc, and there was something wrong with their cub's transformation. It seems that they used this kind of medicine powder
. Is it medicine powder?" Jian Mo
took the medicine powder and said, "Let's discuss it. If we want to use it, we can use it ourselves at night."
Lian Ke waved his hand and said, "Use it. When you use it, you will know that the medicine powder is ready."
: "Okay, if this medicinal powder is really useful, we will treat you to a meal then."
Lianke lived in the Riverside Tribe for several days and knew that their food was the best in the entire tribe and even among several nearby tribes. He immediately agreed: "Don't regret it!"
Jian would definitely regret such a small thing.
It's just that they still have doubts about the safety of the medicinal powder.
After leaving the small clinic, Wu Jiong took Jian Mo to visit the elders in the tribe.
Most of the old people had heard of this medicinal powder and were sure that it was not poisonous. They suggested that Jian Mo and the others give it a try.
Before going to bed, Jian Mo looked at the medicinal powder that had been mixed into a paste: "Then I'll wrap it up."
Wu Jiong brought a small piece of wood over: "I'll wrap it up for you."
Wu Jiong applied the slightly pungent medicinal powder on Jian Mo's face. Mo applied a layer of it on the fingertips of his left hand and carefully wrapped it with cloth.
When the medicinal powder was first applied, Jian Mo didn't feel it. After applying it for a longer time, he felt something biting his fingertips.
The pain in my fingertips was burning, but not unbearable.
It also feels a bit like being spicy from chili peppers, or being stimulated by spring thunder eggs.
Wu Jiong held his hand and looked worriedly: "How is it?"
Jian Mo said calmly: "It's still bearable."
Wu Jiong was worried and held his hand to sleep.
Jian Mo didn't sleep well that night. He was tortured by the medicine on his fingertips all night long.
The constant pain was so annoying.
Fortunately, the fingertip didn't bleed or anything else, it was just a little swollen and painful.
The next day, Wu Jiong woke up at dawn, held Jian Mo's wrist and looked at it: "How is it?"
Jian Mo's eyes were green, and he raised his fingers: "It seems to be okay, now. It's numb, not particularly painful."
Wu Jiong: "Can I take it apart and look at it?"
Jian Mo is not sure, "It's been a whole night, and Lian Ke said that it can be applied overnight.
" After hearing what he said, Jiong opened the medicine package in his hand.
After completely wiping off the medicinal powder with water, Jian Mo's first reaction was that his fingers were swollen.
The tips of his fingers were as swollen as carrots and a little translucent, which was very obvious, as if they had suddenly transformed from human hands into tree frog paws, with an extra hemisphere at the top.
Jian Mo stretched out his hand in front of him and looked at it carefully: "Apart from the swelling and pain, there seems to be no other change."
Wu Jiong stared at his fingertips: "I'll press it."
Jian Mo: "Huh? Press it. What are you doing?"
Wu Jiong reached out and pinched his fingertips, and hook-shaped nails popped out from under his nails, looking like cat claws.
To be precise, it looks a lot like Qing Kuo's claws.
He had seen Qing Kuo pop out his claws to help climb trees. His claws were like that, curved, translucent, and very sharp.
Jian Mo was confused: "What's going on?"
Jian Mo tried to control the nails on her fingertips, but she couldn't do it at all. She could only feel a swelling and pain. She could only push the nails out when she reached out and pressed them.
This feeling is very magical, so magical that Jian Mo doesn't know how to describe it.
He ignored the swelling and pain and pressed his fingertips again and again, and each time he could press the claws out.
Staring at the claws pressed out on his index finger, Jian Mo even doubted himself: "Am I really a sub-orc?"
For example, a sub-orc lived on the earth and came back when he grew up.
No, he had seen photos of his childhood. He looked very similar to his parents, so he should be his biological son.
Or are his parents related?
That's not right. He has seen his grandparents, grandparents, and they are all normal human beings. At least he didn't find anything wrong.
Besides, if his ancestors had related blood, wouldn't there be reproductive isolation? If you were looking for someone with a related bloodline, how would you find it in the huge crowd?
Jian Mo was so distraught that he quickly realized that something was wrong. He had a college entrance exam, a college exam, and a work exam. No doctor said there was anything wrong with his data.
He studied medicine, and even though it was animal medicine, it was related to medicine. If there was a real problem, it was impossible for everyone to discover it.
Wu Jiong stretched out his hand and hugged him: "Maybe he changed after coming here, don't worry yet."
Jian Mo raised the swollen finger and murmured: "Yes, don't be anxious yet, let's go find Lian Ke. Wu Jiong kissed him: "
Yes, just ask Lian Ke. It doesn't matter if you can't find out the reason."
Jian Mo said straightforwardly, "It still matters." Wu Jiong
kissed him again . He said: "Let's go ask."
Chapter 84: Application
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went to Lian Ke's temporary house.
Lian Ke had been waiting early in the morning. When he saw them coming, he looked smug: "How's it going? I'll just say my medicine works, right?"
Jian Mo held up his swollen finger and showed it to Lian Ke: "I don't know. What's the point?"
Lianke shook his head and became even more proud: "Here, let me look at your fingers first."
"Can the claws on my other fingers also pop out? ?"
Lian Ke was looking at his claws and said casually: "No, it hasn't grown yet, how can it pop out?"
Jian Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he looked up and saw that Wu Jiong was also looking over. Realizing a question: "Have the claws grown out?"
Lianke also reacted and said vaguely: "You must take medicine before the claws can pop out."
Jian Mo stared at Lianke: "That is to say, the effect of the medicine is not Let the claws grow, but let the claws pop out - the function of the drug is to separate the skin and flesh? "
Just like wisdom teeth that have not grown out, you can still see the gums if they are cut.
Lian Ke pretended to concentrate on observing Jian Mo's claws and remained silent.
Jian Mo sighed, as expected he couldn't rely on the witch doctor. Witch doctors have only accumulated more experience, but may not be more scientific and easy to use.
Lianke looked at their expressions and said, "I only said that you have sub-orc dysplasia. You can confirm it with medicine. I am not lying to you, am I?"
This is true.
Wu Jiong said coldly: "It's your witch doctor's specialty to talk nonsense. Didn't what you said before imply that you can cure orc dysplasia?"
Lianke tried to defend: "I can really see. Come out. If it weren't for my medicine, you wouldn't have discovered this problem now, would you?"
Wu Jiong: "The claws have grown. Even without your medicine, we would have discovered it sooner or later."
Lianke: "It's impossible to say. Yes, what if?"
Seeing that Lianke refused to admit it, Wu Jiong's face became even colder: "I have smelled the formula of your ointment. It uses the sap of the Kunzhi tree. I will take Jian Mo there later. "Yes."
Lianke's expression changed and he shouted, "How could you steal someone else's prescription?" Wu
Jiong: "I haven't bothered you yet, but you asked me first."
When his face darkens, he looks particularly fierce, his eyes staring at people, full of intimidation.
Seeing him like this, Lianke was worried that he would turn into a beast and attack in the next second. He couldn't help but take a step back. He couldn't say any questions and had a sly expression on his face.
Wu Jiong: "You don't know how to treat orc aplasia at all. Everything you said before was just to deceive us."
Lianke saw that he was even more angry, and said quickly: "What did I do to lie to you when I have nothing to do? I just reminded you. Dr. Jian Mo has this problem. As for how to treat it, give him more delicious food and wait for him to develop slowly. There is no special treatment method. "
Jian Mo: "Just like the development of other sub-orcs? "
Lian Ke nodded: "It's almost the same, but you are already an adult and will develop slower. It may take a long time to fully develop."
Jian Mo: "I know, no matter what, thank you."
Lian Ke muttered: " Then don't guess my prescription. "
It's really troublesome to have a wolf nose here.
Jian Mo: "The prescription we used in the end is definitely not the same one, don't worry."
Jian Mo only wants the sap of the Kunzhi tree that will solidify into plaster. As for the medicine added in it, he is really not interested. .
He had just been tricked by Lianke's medicinal powder. Even if Lianke put the powder in front of him personally, he might not dare to use it.
After such an incident, Lianke was embarrassed to stay in their tribe for too long, so he packed up his things without eating breakfast and left in despair.
Jian Mo walked to the river to see off Lianke. Seeing the old orc's back turning into a beast and leaving in a hurry, the filter in her heart towards the witch doctor was completely broken.
It is estimated that most witch doctors just guess and lie based on experience, and they are really not as good as a serious animal doctor like him who has received several years of education.
He doesn't have to be so constrained.
After seeing Lianke leave, Jian Mo was still not in high spirits. Wu Jiong asked him, "Do you want to collect sap from the Kunzhi tree?"
Jian Mo thought Wu Jiong was just scaring Lian Ke, but she didn't expect to go: "Today Are you going to go hunting or gathering with the tribe? "
Wu Jiong: "It doesn't matter if you don't go for a day."
Jian Mo: "Go!"
Wu Jiong pinched his finger. He looked over and said, "Wrap your fingers with medicine first, and I'll tell the rest of the tribe."
Jian Mo's fingers were ulcerated by the medicine, and he had to clean and apply medicine again.
He went to the back mountain to collect medicine that could reduce swelling and relieve pain, grind it into a paste, and wrap it in his hands.
As soon as the cool medicinal mud was wrapped around him, he immediately felt much better and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the finger is fine, the slight pain this time can only be used as a lesson.
Wu Jiong came back soon, packed up the wooden tubes at home and put them into the basket on his back, and took out a large wooden barrel alone.
Jian Mo was full of expectations for the Kunzhi tree: "Is the Kunzhi tree far from our place?"
Wu Jiong: "It's not too far. A little to the south. You may not have noticed that there is a large forest over there."
Jian Mo remembered. : "That forest is particularly dense, isn't it?"
Wu Jiong nodded: "Get ready to leave."
Wu Jiong pulled open his animal skin robe, turned into a giant wolf on the spot, and lay down.
Jian Mo quickly tied the bucket to his body and stuffed a few bags into the bucket. There were so many things that could be collected in spring. If he went out with two bags, he might be able to collect some good things.
When she was ready, Jian Mo climbed onto the giant wolf, pinched his thick and soft ears with her hands, felt the ears trembling in her palms, and then she hugged the giant wolf's neck with satisfaction: "We're ready to go."
The giant wolf's voice was low and sexy: "Okay."
The giant wolf started running and ran directly outside the tribe.
Jiujiu, who was playing with the cubs in the tribe, watched the giant wolf carry Jian Mo away and looked at their backs for a while.
The kitten Banjiu patted Jiujiu's leg with his paw: "Meow, Jiujiu, what are you looking at?"
Jiujiu lowered his head: "Chirp."
Jian Mo hasn't been out for several days, and looks at the plants outside changing every day. The mood becomes high.
The spring vegetation is so beautiful.
The giant wolf took him running all the way without stopping at all. He ran directly outside the huge virgin forest before stopping.
Jian Mo looked at the virgin forest in front of him and opened his mouth in surprise.
Although they often go out to collect, they really don't go to the forest very often. The main forest is more dangerous. Not only does it contain ferocious beasts, but the complex topography of the forest itself will also cause them trouble.
In such a dense forest, it is really easy for inexperienced people to get lost in it.
Jian Mo estimated that only Qing Kuo and Ye Luo were capable of challenging such a huge forest.
Seeing that Jian Mo had been observing the forest, the giant wolf turned his head and nuzzled him gently with his muzzle: "You can come down now."
Jian Mo opened his arms and hugged the wolf's head, and kissed the furry side of the giant wolf's face hard: "It's good here. Especially, there must be a lot of good stuff inside, right?"
Giant Wolf: "There are wild vegetables and fruits, but it's mainly the sap of the Kunzhi tree." Jian Mo said,
"Let's hurry up!"
He slid down, untied the various tools tied to his body, and signaled to him: "Okay."
The giant wolf transformed back into human form, picked up the animal skin that fell on the ground, and wrapped it around his waist: "Get ready to go."
Jian Mo Watching him put on his animal skin shoes without blinking an eye: "Speaking of which, I still feel that animal skin is a bit airtight. If there is a chance, I would like to see if I can find other plants to weave into cloth."
Wu Jiong: "Plant weaving The fabric may not be as soft as animal hair."
Jian Mo: "That's not necessarily the case. We have particularly soft and breathable plant fabrics. Animal hair is too hot. You will sweat when you wear it now. Wait a while. It 's probably even more uncomfortable."
That's true. Wu Jiong: "We will ask other tribes when we get back."
The two of them talked and got into the forest.
Once entering the forest, Jian Mo felt that her vision was much darker.
However, this kind of primitive forest with many giant trees does not have so many weeds. The trees are far apart. There are soft and clean fallen leaves under the feet, which is quite comfortable to step on.
Jian Mo looked around and felt that the environment was really good.
Wu Jiong stretched out his hand to take him: "Let's go this way, there are Kunzhi trees here."
Jian Mo: "Okay!"
The two were walking through the primeval forest, and Jian Mo noticed a lot of moss and fungi growing on the trees. Unfortunately most of them are inedible.
There are also many animal droppings in the forest. It is estimated that there are many large and small animals here.
Orcs occupy the absolute top of the local food chain. When they walk around, not only do no animals dare to disturb them, most animals will run away as soon as they see them.
After walking for a long time, Wu Jiong and Jian Mo found the first Kunzhi tree.
It was a shrub no more than two meters tall. Its branches and leaves expanded widely, and its horizontal diameter exceeded two meters.
Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong: "How to collect this sap?"
Wu Jiong: "Just break the branches and let the sap drip into the wooden tube."
As he said that, Wu Jiong picked a relatively thick branch and broke it directly.
From the fracture, dark green sap gushes out.
Wu Jiong took the wooden tube to pick it up, then put the wooden tube on the ground, bent the branch downwards, and inserted it into the wooden tube: "After catching it in the morning, it should be almost done."
Jian Mo followed his example and folded a branch. , but my movements were not that skillful, and I accidentally rubbed the sap on my hand.
The sap was not poisonous, but by the time he installed the barrel, the thin sap had solidified on his hands and turned into a piece of skin, which he tore off with a single tear.
This look really looks like the blackhead stickers used by girls in school.
Wu Jiong: "What are you looking at?"
Jian Mo smiled: "I remembered some things from the past, it was quite fun."
Jian Mo told Wu Jiong about the past, and Wu Jiong listened patiently and reached out to hold his hand. Let him continue to move forward.
After walking a few steps, they saw the second Kunzhi tree.
After breaking off a few more branches to collect the sap, they continued to look for the next tree.
After a busy morning, they used up all the wooden tubes.
After finding a relatively spacious and ventilated place to rest, Jian Mo took out the mushroom sauce he had brought and had lunch with Wu Jiong.
Although everyone in this world is accustomed to eating two meals, Jian Mo still likes to eat three meals if conditions permit.
After lunch, Wu Jiong transformed into a giant wolf.
Jian Mo climbed on top of him, buried himself in his fur, and slept for a while. He didn't get up energetically until the sun turned west.
They were going back to collect the wooden tubes and collected everything they could on the way.
After collecting for most of the day, each wooden tube of Jian Mo and the others contained more than half of the sap.
The sap is dark green and sticky and looks like some kind of ointment.
However, compared to the sap brought by Lianke, they are still a bit thinner and may need further processing.
Wu Jiong said: "It should be boiled in a jar to boil off the excess water."
Jian Mo: "I think it may be, so Lianke's ointment is black and ours is dark green."
After collecting In this batch, the two of them had no intention of collecting more sap.
If you break some more branches, the growth of the Kunzhi tree may be affected. It is better to try again next time.
Although they did not collect to the maximum extent, the two harvested well today.
After returning home, Jian Mo simply finished a meal and began to boil the sap.
The sap turned dark and thick in the oil-free and water-free clay pot, and it looked very much like the ointment Lian Ke brought.
Jian Mo smelled the smell and felt that the smell was similar.
But Lianke put other herbs in his ointment to mask the smell, and now the two ointments are only slightly similar.
Jian Mo saw that he was almost done with it, so he scraped a lump out with a piece of wood, let it cool, and then spread it around the cleaned injured finger.
When the ointment is applied, it solidifies quickly and becomes a plaster-like texture. It is strong and sticky and sticks firmly to the skin.
For Jian Mo, this thing would be more suitable for use as a sterile dressing.
If anyone is injured in the future, after the operation, just scoop out a lump of this ointment and apply it to the sutured wound. It will probably be much more effective than wrapping it with cloth.
The most important thing is that this kind of application should not hinder the patient's activities very much and can provide convenience for the patient's daily life.
The more Jian Mo watched, the more satisfied he became. Lian Ke was a bit confused, but the material this guy brought was really useful, and many of his actions were also inspiring to him.
For this reason, he didn't bother to pursue it.
While Jian Mo was studying the prepared ointment, Qing Kuo came to visit.
As soon as he saw him boiling medicine, Qing Kuo asked worriedly: "What's wrong? What's the problem with the medicine powder from Lianke Witch Doctor?"
Jian Mo waved his hand: "That's not a big problem, just keep it for a while. I'll boil some ointment. Backup."
Qing Kuo: "I was shocked. I thought something was really wrong. Then we had to catch up with him and ask for an explanation."
Jian Moxiao: "If there is really a problem, we won't let him go in the morning. "What do you want from me?"
Qing Kuo nodded: "When we went out today, we saw that the Ambus River was flowing again. We are going to collect there tomorrow. Do you want to go there
these days ?" Either he stayed in the tribe to treat people, or he went out alone. I really didn't go with the tribe for several days.
Jian Mo: "Go! We have nothing to do tomorrow, so we can follow suit."
Qing Kuo: "Then we'll wait for you tomorrow. The Ambus River is far away, so we have to set off early."
Jian Mo was curious: "The Ambus River Where? Did it stop flowing before? Why is it flowing again? "
Qing Kuo: "In the far east, it is a river that only flows in spring and summer, and some things in the river are only available in spring and summer. "
When he said this, Jian Mo understood immediately.
This river must be a seasonal river dominated by ice and snow melt water. Now that the weather is hot, the melt water from the snow mountains has increased, and the river has started to flow again.
Encountering a seasonal river for the first time, Jian Mo said expectantly: "I know, I'll get up at dawn tomorrow!"
Qing Kuo: "See you tomorrow then."
Chapter 85 The bet is that
the Ambus River is to the east of the riverside tribe. It is wide but not deep.
People in the tribe said that in previous years the river would start flowing later, but this year the weather was warmer and it started flowing earlier.
Thanks to a group of people who went hunting there two days ago, otherwise they would have missed it.
Jian Mo sat on Wu Jiong and asked Zhou Fu in front of him: "Is this river the origin of our tribe?"
Zhou Fu said "bah bah bah" for a long time, and was stunned when he heard this question: "I really don't know. , I have to ask Ye Luo and the others."
Said, Zhou Fu called to Ye Luo: "Ye Luo, do you know?"
Ye Luo and his father were sitting on his father's back, and when they heard the question behind them, The old orc, whose shape resembled a clouded leopard, took the initiative to walk slower and fell behind.
Ye Luo calmly said: "Of course I know. The water of the Anbus River flows down from the Anbus Mountains. The source is a small ditch. It flows all the way to the southeast. When it reaches the territory of the Linyan tribe, the water is very large. "
Jian Mo rarely heard about the Lin Yan tribe directly below their tribe. At this time, he took the opportunity to ask: "Is it because there is friction between our tribe and the Lin Yan tribe?
" He said: "That's not true. People from the Linyan tribe like to move around in the south of the territory. They are too far away from us and it is difficult to meet them."
Jian Mo understood.
Everyone walked all the way east until the sun rose in the sky before reaching the Ambus River.
This is indeed a wide river with round pebbles at the bottom. The water is light blue and the current is very fast. When it flows over the stones, it stirs up countless snow-white sprays.
At this time, the spring grass grew up and all kinds of wild flowers bloomed, which looked very beautiful.
On such a sunny day, the blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, grasslands and rivers spread out in the sunshine, making it particularly beautiful.
Jian Mo climbed down from the back of the giant wolf: "The scenery here is really nice."
The giant wolf touched him with his mouth, and then whispered: "If you like it, we can come back another day."
While they were talking, At that moment, someone in the distance shouted: "Get ready to go into the water! Let's spread out and look for a few people in a section of the river."
Everyone agreed and formed teams with their partners, family or friends to catch fish.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were just two people, Min Dang's family came to their side, and Zhou Fu's family came to their other side.
Zhou Fu geared up and introduced Jian Mo and others excitedly: "Ambus fish is particularly delicious. The tribe used to like this fish very much when they didn't eat much fish. They come every spring."
Jian Mo looked at the rapids. Hehe: "It's not easy to catch, is it?"
Zhou Fu: "It depends on the individual's ability. The clan leader will definitely be easy to catch."
Jian Mo looked back at Wu Jiong, poked him with his hand, and winked. , meaning to ask if you have confidence?
Wu Jiong grabbed Jian Mo's wrist with a very calm expression on his face.
That is having confidence.
Jian Mo looked away, full of expectations for this kind of Ambush fish.
The Ambus River was very wide, and the deepest part of the water was up to their thighs. There were large and small stones all over the bottom. It wasn't that slippery, but it was cold.
As soon as Jian Mo got there, he was so cold that his legs turned red.
Wu Jiong looked towards him and pushed him gently: "You go to the shore and wait."
Jian Mo: "It's okay, I'll get used to it after a while."
Wu Jiong frowned, and Jian Mo said: "It's really okay, if I If you can't stand it, just go to the shore to bask in the sun, and you won't be able to hold on. "
His physique is indeed not as good as that of orcs and sub-orcs, but he is not a squishy person, just a little cold water will be enough to overcome it.
Wu Jiong nodded and started searching in the river.
After Jian Mo stood firm, he looked at the rushing river water: "What does the Ambush fish look like? I don't think I saw it."
Wu Jiong bent down and reached out to fish, and accurately caught a palm-sized fish: " It looks like this."
Jian Mo took a closer look and found that the Ambush fish was a bit flat and had gray-brown patterns on its back, which looked like a stone.
In addition, its skin is not ordinary fish scales, but delicate skin like a loach.
It's really special.
Wu Jiong threw the fish into the back basket in the water. There was a big stone on the bottom of the back basket to ensure that it would not be washed away by the water. The rattan back basket was full of water. After the fish was thrown in, it could still survive. Swim in the water.
Jian Mo observed again, turned to look at the bottom of the river, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to work hard to catch fish.
After searching for a long time, after Wu Jiong caught several fish one after another, he finally saw a gray-brown figure.
He approached carefully, stretched out his hand to fish out - and found nothing.
The flow speed of the Ambus fish was too fast. Covered by the water splash, it rushed forward and disappeared.
Jian Mo stared for a long time with his eyes wide open. He couldn't find the fish anymore, so he had to reluctantly prepare to find the second fish.
Wu Jiong taught him how to catch fish: "You have to bend down and look for it close to the water. The fish is not where you see it, but a little further down."
Jian Mo suddenly realized: "I remembered, the principle of water refraction - I understand. ."
Wu Jiong nodded.
Jian Mo geared up: "Okay, I learned the secret. Wait until I catch two big ones for you to try."
Jian Mo was full of confidence, but he still couldn't compete with the speed of the Ambus fish.
He struggled for a long time, but didn't catch a single fish. Wu Jiong kept throwing fish into the basket on his back, which was already half full.
Jian Mo borrowed a basket and planned to frame the fish before catching it, but failed - the pebbles underneath were uneven, and the Ambush fish swam too fast, and ran away in a few clicks.
When the sun passed noon and everyone stopped to rest, Jian Mo's record was still zero. Wu Jiong caught half the basket by himself. Together, the two of them had a record that crushed the entire field.
Someone said: "This fish is so delicious but hard to catch."
People around him responded:
"If it was so easy to catch, it would have been fished out long ago."
"It's not that it's really hard to catch. Look at Jian Mo and the others - they You caught a lot of fish, right?" "
Hahaha, it's probably because Jian Mo was here. In the past, the clan leader was too lazy to catch fish. There were only a few more fish in the basket than us." "It's different now that you have a partner, right, clan leader?
"
Wu Jiong listened to all the jokes and was very calm: "Isn't it right to catch some delicious fish for your partner?"
Wu Jiong and Jian Mo were not shy at all when people around them joked. Everyone said a few words and looked at them. The reaction was relatively uninteresting, so I had to change the subject.
After a good rest, everyone went back to the river to catch fish.
It wasn't until the sun set that everyone packed up and headed for the tribe.
Today, part of the fish is handed over to the tribe for collective distribution, and the remaining part is kept by the family.
Jian Mo and the others caught a lot of fish and had a lot of fish left in their hands.
Looking at the still fresh Ambush fish, Jian Mo asked: "How should you eat this fish? Fry it or boil it in soup?" Wu
Jiong: "Stew, cut a piece of half-fat and half-lean bacon and stew it together, the stewed fish It will be extra thick and delicious."
Jian Mo looked at the fish and the bacon hanging under the eaves. He couldn't imagine how to cook it, so he made a "please" gesture: "You come? I will make a fire for you."
Wu Jiong: "I'll give it a try. Clean up the fish first."
Wu Jiong took an old shell knife and picked up the fish in the yard. He knocked the fish unconscious first, and then scraped off its scales.
Only then did Jian Mo realize that the Ambush fish did not have scales, but had fine scales all over its body, which had to be shaved off carefully.
The fish scales came off like shaved ice. Jian Mo wiped it off and it felt a bit like sand.
Cutting the fish open, the fish meat is very thick and looks very plump.
Just by looking at this appearance, you can tell that it is probably delicious.
Jian Mo squatted aside and watched Wu Jiong cooking the fish expectantly.
Jiujiu squatted on the other side, waiting expectantly for the fish heads they didn't want.
After Wu Jiong cut open the fish, he threw the fish head, tail, and fish entrails to Jiujiu. Jiujiu didn't mind it, holding it with his paws, and eating it very gracefully.
After eating, it chirped twice and squatted aside to wait for the next fish.
Jian Mo rubbed Jiujiu's butt, this guy was quite comfortable.
Soon, Wu Jiong walked into the kitchen carrying a basin of fish with the head and tail removed, and went to cut a piece of bacon that was half fat and half lean under the eaves. He washed it in warm water and cut it into thin slices, and fried it in a pan until it was translucent.
After the bacon is fried until it turns yellow and curled, and the aroma comes out, Wu Jiong puts the fish into the pot, adds spring water, and stews it directly.
The large iron pot is boiling hot, and as soon as the mountain spring water is poured in, the color of the soup immediately turns milky white, and the thick umami flavor floats out with the steam, lingering in the kitchen.
Jian Mo sniffed: "How long will it take to stew?"
Wu Jiong took a look and said: "Stew until all the firewood in the stove is burned out, and the fish will be almost ready."
Jian Mo: "That time is really not short. "
Wu Jiong: "Let's go pick some tendon leaves and put them down later."
Jian Mo looked at the pot and said, "Just let it stew like this." Wu Jiong: "The water won't boil dry, just let Jiujiu
watch."
After receiving the task, he stood outside the kitchen and watched patiently while slobbering.
It doesn't watch the fire, and it mainly prevents small animals from sneaking in to eat when they go out.
Of course, with its huge body, it can't sneak into the kitchen to eat, so don't worry if you leave it to it.
When Jian Mo and the others gathered the tendons, Jiujiu waited outside obediently.
Jian Mo patted it and said, "Look at the hard work of the pot. I'll give you two more fish later."
Chiu Jiu's eyes lit up: "Chiu Jiu!"
After washing the grass and cutting it into sections, Jian Mo found that the fish in the pot was also stewed. It's almost done, the juice is very thick and has a gelatinous feel, and there's even a thin layer of soup on top.
Wu Jiong stir-fried the fish a little while keeping the fish intact, and then sprinkled the tender green tendon into it.
White soup, reddish-brown bacon, black fish, and garnished with tendon leaves -
this pot of fish looks delicious and delicious!
They had dinner in the kitchen.
Jian Mo couldn't wait to take a sip of the fish soup first: "It's so hot and fresh!"
The fish soup is thick and delicious. You can clearly taste the sweet taste of the fish and the mellow taste of the bacon after fermentation. The two complement each other and are so delicious. My eyebrows are about to fall off.
He took another bite of the fish. The fish was very tender, with a smooth texture like soft tofu. Generally speaking, he could only achieve that tenderness when making boiled fish fillets.
After taking another bite, Jian Mo quickly discovered that the best thing about the whole dish was not the fish soup or the fish fillets, but the fish skin.
The skin of this fish is soft, waxy and elastic, and it is extremely delicious. It is simply the essence of the whole fish.
Jian Mo never thought that the skin of this humble little fish could be so delicious.
Jian Mo took a piece of fish and took a sip of the fish soup, and the tip of his nose was sweating after eating: "Sure enough, the best ingredients only need the simplest cooking method, it is delicious!"
Wu Jiong: "I cooked a big pot, I like you to eat more."
Jian Mo looked at the stove: "Have you saved the chirping part?"
Wu Jiong: "Save it. It won't be hungry. I'll give it to it after it cools down a bit."
Then Jian Mo is rude, this taste The delicious fish with few bones tastes so good.
After eating several pieces of fish in a row, Jian Mo saw Wu Jiong picking up the bacon in the basin to eat, so she put some fish meat for him: "Shall we go again tomorrow? I think there are still a lot of fish in the river. It should be OK if we go again tomorrow. I can catch it."
Wu Jiong: "The tribe had to catch fish for several days. These days, there are the most fish, but after a while, there are not so many fish, and they are not so fat."
Jian Mo: "That area. Let's go together with Jiujiu. I think he likes this fish very much. Let him catch it too."
Wu Jiong looked at Jiujiu who was waiting in the yard and said, "Take it and let him help carry something."
Jian Mo: "Then I'll bring it. " The broken basket used to catch fish before was too difficult to catch without tools."
The two finished their dinner while chatting and went to feed Jiujiu again.
Jiujiu waited in the yard for a long time, and finally waited for the fish. He was so excited that he kept jumping around next to them.
Jian Mo patted and tweeted: "I'll take you with me tomorrow. If I don't catch it, I won't give you any fish to eat."
tweeted and stuck his head into the basin: "Chirpââ"
Jian Mo saw that this guy couldn't tell the difference at all. I had no choice but to shut up because I had no time to focus on anything else.
The next day they brought their tools and let Chiu Chiu fly over them and set out with them.
We caught fish upstream yesterday, and today we will catch fish a little further downstream.
This section of the river is wider and the water is deeper, but it's not a problem for everyone.
Everyone quickly formed a team, in twos and threes, ready to catch fish.
Jian Mo brought tools and his performance was better than yesterday. When Wu Jiong caught more than 20 fish, he finally caught the first small fish.
He threw the fish into the basket and straightened up with satisfaction.
Except for Wu Jiong, everyone didn't gain much, at least not a few more than him.
This fish is indeed difficult to catch, and the Air Force cannot blame him yesterday.
Jian Mo looked at it for a while, then went to look at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu worked hard at the bottom of the river. Because he was fat and clumsy, he rowed his paws in the water for a long time but failed to catch any fish.
Well, the tweet is also an Air Force tweet.
While Jian Mo was looking around, Ban Ming and the others came over together: "Brother Jian Mo, how many fish have you caught?" Jian Mo showed it
to them: "I caught one, Wu Jiong caught half the basket."
The young orcs on their backs all lowered their heads to look at their baskets. When they saw the fish inside, their eyes turned green with envy.
Ban Ming said sourly: "It's really half a basket. Clan leader, you have this ability. It's a waste to catch Ambush fish. You should go fishing for salmon."
Jian Mo was confused: "What kind of fish is that?"
Ban Ming gestured: "A kind of big fish that swims very fast and hides very well. The taste of this fish is nothing special, but the fish gall is very good for reducing fever after being dried. One year, a little boy from the Dianxin tribe had a fever. The parents were worried that the baby would be burned to death, so they mobilized several nearby tribes to look for salmon. Although fresh fish gall was used in the end, the effect was very good, and the baby's fever subsided that night. "
Jian Mo: "Isn't this really an accident?"
Ban Ming: "No, this kind of fish gall is very useful and has been passed down from generation to generation."
Ban Ming said. Qing Kuo testified: "Abba, right?"
Qing Kuo nodded and added: "If you use other medicines to cure a fever, it depends on luck. Using this kind of fish gall has never failed."
Jian Mo: "So If it's useful, the tribe should prepare some."
When Jian Mo asked, everyone started explaining to him:
"We also want to prepare it, but the three-eye fish swims very fast and hides very deep. Normally, you can't catch it at all. "
"It's used to hiding in mud holes, and the water will cover up its smell. "
"There are a lot of fish here, and the smell is very messy, even for us orcs. Don't even think about smelling it. "
Is it really that magical?
Jian Mo looked at Wu Jiong suspiciously and bumped him with her shoulder, meaning to ask, is this really the case?
Before Wu Jiong could say anything, Ban Ming said from the side: "Brother Jian Mo, don't look at the clan leader. You are not an orc. You don't know how weak the smell of this fish is. You want to smell the smell of this fish in such a messy environment." How difficult is it? It's impossible to find it. Only those giant armored beasts with a particularly sensitive sense of smell, such as the leader of the Mengshui Tribe, Yun Rong, can smell it. "
Yun Rong has always wanted to poach Jian Mo, Wu Jiong said. Not to mention, I actually don't like that guy very much.
Jian Mo suspected that Ban Ming was using the provoking method.
Ban Ming was pushed by his good friend A Hu behind him, and he also remembered this matter, and quickly added: "But the giant armored beast is slow and clumsy, and he can't catch the three-eye fish."
Wu Jiong's focus is indeed on Ban Ming's last sentence: "It's impossible to find it? What if I found it?"
Ban Ming thought for a while: "If you find it and catch it, I will give you the head beast and send it to you."
Wu Jiong: "How many can I catch?" How many kills?"
People around asked, "Do you want to make a bet?"
Ban Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! But if you can't catch any of them, you have to come over to me."
Wu Jiong said, "Okay, I will ." If you can't catch it, I'll carry ten beasts to you. You can specify the type of beast. I've caught it. You can carry as many arrow-bone beasts as you can."
Ban Ming: "Okay. ! Then I will wait for your beast!"
It was rare to see Wu Jiong making a bet with others, and everyone was very excited.
Qing Kuo said with a smile: "We all bear witness to you. The sun goes down as the boundary. If the clan leader catches it before it goes down, the clan leader wins, and if he doesn't catch it, Ban Ming wins."
Wu Jiong and Ban Ming agreed.
The bet officially begins.
Chapter 86 Yulu
Wujiong started to look for the three-eyed fish, changed back to his animal form on the spot, and asked Jian Mo to get on his back.
Ban Ming saw it and protested loudly: "Two people can't go together! It's not fair!"
Giant Wolf: "You don't need two people to win."
Jian Mo smiled on the Giant Wolf's back: "I'll go with you, no way I took action, and with my ability, even if I take action, it might not be helpful."
Ban Ming thought about it and said, "Then I will follow you and watch you."
The giant wolf ignored him. , directly carried Jian Mo on his back and started searching along the river.
Jiu Jiu saw them leaving and followed them curiously.
This guy has a huge body, and when it steps in the water, it will probably scare away any fish.
Jian Mo waved his hand behind him to shoo it away: "Jiujiu, go back quickly, don't follow me."
Jiujiu stood in the river: "Chirp."
Jian Mo waved his hand again: "Be obedient."
Ranwu, a young man who had been treated by Jian Mo, looked at Jiujiu was still standing where he was, and came over and took hold of Jiujiu's paws and pulled him upstream.
Jian Mo smiled and thanked Ranwu, and then was carried downstream by the giant wolf.
The giant wolf waded back and forth in the river to sniff, and it seemed that something was not going well.
He went back and forth and walked a long distance. His long hair was wet, and the tip of his tail was also wet. The wetness gathered into a strand and was dragged in the water.
When she returned to rest among the crowd, Jian Mo slid off him distressedly and reached out to help him wring out his long hair.
Jian Mo whispered: "I really can't find it, otherwise forget it. It would be fun for us to catch the arrow bone beast."
The big cat Ban Ming followed them. When he heard Jian Mo's voice, his ears moved and he ran up. : "That's right. If you can't find it, clan leader, just stop looking. Just carry ten arrow-bone beasts for me."
Giant Wolf: "You can find them."
The big cat licked the tip of its nose: "Then you have to hold on tight. The sun is already high in the sky and will soon turn west."
Giant Wolf: "I know."
The big cat walked back and forth around them: "Then I'll wait. There may not be three-eye fish here. Your search is a waste of time."
Everyone laughed and listened to their bet.
Seeing Ban Ming's provocation, Qing Kuo shook his head: "Silly boy, take it easy, don't lose your animal skin skirt later."
The big cat shook the tip of its tail: "No way, I will go with them. I didn't smell the smell of salmon at all."
Ahu came over and put his hand on the big cat's paw: "I didn't smell it either. The smell of salmon is too hard to find."
Qing Kuo: "Can you smell it? It means the clan leader didn't smell it. "Clan leader, did you smell it?"
Jian Mo responded immediately: "Qing Kuo, you are not allowed to inquire about the information for your cub."
Qing Kuo smiled: "I didn't inquire, I was just curious."
Giant Wolf: "This afternoon . You will know."
After a brief lunch and a rest, the giant wolf carried Jian Mo towards a certain section of the river downstream.
After searching for the giant wolf for a long time but finding nothing, it seemed that he had finally identified his target.
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw his performance, and they followed him and ran down.
After running for a while, he stopped somewhere and dug into the cave by the river with his paws.
As soon as the cave was opened, a fish with a light yellow pattern on its back jumped out of the cave, just under the nose of the giant wolf.
The giant wolf opened its mouth wide and grabbed the fish that came to the door quickly and accurately.
The fish struggled desperately in the giant wolf's mouth and slapped his nose several times.
The movement was so loud that everyone looked over.
Dejiang was the first to see it clearly: "It's a three-eyed fish."
Qing Kuo also agreed: "It's indeed a three-eyed fish."
Jian Mo stretched her neck on the back of the giant wolf and looked carefully for a while before she saw the forehead of the fish. There is a slightly darker pattern on it, right between the two eyes, like a third eye.
The big cat also saw clearly, his ears drooped, his tail swayed feebly, and he muttered: "Why are you so lucky?"
As long as he found a fish, even if he lost, he had already lost.
Qing Kuo patted the big cat's thigh: "You can just catch the arrow bone beast tonight."
Giant Wolf: "No rush."
ââQing Kuo: "Why are you not in a hurry?"
The Giant Wolf didn't answer and kept his mouth shut. After throwing the fish in his back basket, he carried Jian Mo and continued walking down.
The big cat was shocked: "No way? You found a second fish?"
The giant wolf didn't answer any more, just carried Jian Mo on his back and ran downstream again.
After a while, he opened the second hole and took out the salmon inside.
The three-eye fish was thrown into the back basket. Everyone took a closer look and confirmed that it was the three-eye fish.
The giant wolf still didn't stop, and continued down. Before anyone else could react, he caught the third salmon.
Then there are Articles 4, 5... Articles 11, 12, and 13.
Everyone was stunned to see him chopping melons and vegetables, catching the salmon hiding in the cave one after another.
Seeing that he was going to continue searching, the big cat couldn't stand it anymore. He rushed over and hugged the giant wolf's right front leg with his paws: "Chief, how can you find so many? Have you been here long ago? Do you know this place?" There are three-eyed fish? Meow!"
The giant wolf looked at him condescendingly: "Is it necessary to make a bet with you?"
The big cat rolled on the spot and yelled: "Then how can you find it so skillfully? Like me, I can't smell the smell of salmon at all!"
Giant Wolf: "It's hard to find salmon, and it's hard to track its smell alone, but if it is present in a certain place, the smell will be subtle. It's different, just look carefully for its caves in places with different smells."
The big cat was dumbfounded: "Can this be done? Exclude the places where there are none and only look for the places where they are!"
The giant wolf nodded.
Di Ya came over and patted her son's leg: "Have you learned? You can use this method to find the Arrow Bone Beast tonight."
Everyone laughed.
The big cat rolled on the spot and lay on the ground in frustration, unwilling to move.
Wu Jiong returned to his human form and stopped looking.
He rummaged through the basket on his back and found the female fish that could produce seeds and threw them back into the river.
With these females here, there will be new salmon in the river next year.
Everyone caught Ambus fish for a while, and when the sun went down, they returned to the tribe with a full load.
Big Cat Banming still remembers the bet and felt weak along the way.
When they were saying goodbye, the giant wolf said: "Remember, we have thirteen arrow-bone beasts in total. You can send them here at once or in batches."
The big cat muttered: "I see, am I such an orc who doesn't keep his word?"
The giant wolf: "If not, it's best. I hope you don't wait until winter to send it to us."
The big cat: "I'll go tonight Catch it!"
Jian Mo smiled and waved: "Then we will wait."
When he got home, Jian Mo poured some water out to drink, still remembering Wu Jiong's heroic appearance today: "I see everyone is shocked! My jaw dropped."
Wu Jiong touched the back of his neck and said, "I will only bet if I am sure."
Jian Mo raised his head and smiled, "I can tell."
The three-eye fish was caught and will be dealt with tonight. , otherwise a batch of them may die tomorrow, and the fish bladder will not be so fresh and useful.
Jian Mo didn't know how they were going to deal with it, so she squatted aside and watched Wu Jiong deal with it.
Wu Jiong took out the shell knife and quickly took out the fish gall.
The courage of the three-eye fish is particularly large, much larger than that of ordinary fish, and it looks like a small lychee when taken out.
Jian Mo put the heavy fish gall in his hand and inspected it, then put it under his nose and smelled it, only to feel a fishy smell rushing straight to his forehead.
It's hard to imagine that fish gallbladder like this is actually a good medicine for reducing fever. I don't know how the first person who discovered this discovered it?
Wu Jiong asked Jian Mo to put the fish gall on the plate: "I'll take it out to dry while you wash your hands. The three-eye fish is very fishy. Wash it with tree leaves, otherwise the smell won't be removed for a long time."
Jian Mo said . Mo: "Wash with soap is useless?"
Wu Jiong: "You try."
Jian Mo went into the house and washed his hands with soap several times. There was still a fishy smell on his hands. It seemed that washing with soap was not a big deal. usefulness.
He went outside the house, intending to pick some leaves with a stronger smell and rub his hands together.
When I came out, I happened to see Jiujiu sniffing the three-eye fish that had just had its guts dug out. The expression on its face was obviously disgusting, and its nose was wrinkled.
Jian Mo was happy when he saw it: "You guys can even accept internal organs, but you can't stand the smell of salmon?"
Jiu Jiu raised his head, glanced at Jian Mo, and leaned over to rub against him: "Chiu Jiu."
Jian Mo suddenly smelled There was a strong fishy smell, probably because Chiujiu's chin touched the blood of the three-eye fish.
I have to say, the smell is quite unpleasant.
Jian Mo quickly pushed Jiu Jiu's head: "Don't rub against me."
Like a puppy, Jiu Jiu thought that Jian Mo was playing with it. When Jian Mo refused, he immediately switched to the other side to rub against.
There was blood on the other side. Jian Mo was shocked and quickly reached out and pushed again.
One wanted to push, the other wanted to rub, and a man and an animal chased each other in the yard.
Jiujiu flapped its wings, eyes brightened with excitement, dragging its chubby body and running as fast as it could.
Jian Mo's physical strength was not bad, but the small yard really restricted his performance. After running for a while, he was panting from exhaustion.
When Wu Jiong came back and saw them like this, he separated them one by one with each hand.
Jiu Jiu bounced on the spot a few times, but couldn't break free from Wu Jiong's iron hoop-like hand. He could only squat on the spot obediently: "Chiu Jiu."
Wu Jiong looked at Jian Mo who was still wiping his sweat and said, "Why are you suddenly running away? "
Jian Mo: "Jiujiu wanted to rub against me, but it thought I was playing with it, so it kept chasing me."
Jian Mo said with a sigh: "The smell of salmon is really good. It's so fishy, ââit almost killed me."
Wu Jiong nodded in agreement: "The fish does taste a bit fishy, ââand I can't eat it."
Jian Mo: "What should I do with the fish?"
Wu Jiong: "Before. Normally throw it away. Now you can consider giving it to Jiujiu."
Jian Mo looked at Jiujiu and said with some sympathy, "It probably won't eat it either. It just smelled and it wrinkled its nose."
Wu Jiong said, "Then. Just throw them away."
Wu Jiong went to pick up the three fish that had their guts removed.
Jian Mo followed over. These three-eyed fish were quite big, weighing at least five or six pounds each. They were heavy in his hand.
They threw four female fish back into the water, and the remaining nine salmon were all here, packed in baskets, which were enough to fill the baskets.
With so many fish, Jian Mo felt a little sad to have to take them all out and throw them away.
It's not easy to go out hunting and gathering. The fish does not taste very good, but it would be too wasteful to throw it away.
Jian Mo thought for a while: "I'll see what kind of dish I want to make it into."
Wu Jiong reminded: "It's still fishy when it's made into a dish, and it's still fishy when it's dried."
Jian Mo was shocked: "Does it taste so overbearing? "
Wu Jiong: "Yeah, it's very fishy."
Jian Mo understood why the predecessors were able to discover the usefulness of fish gall. Maybe they couldn't bear to eat it and swallowed it?
Wu Jiong stood up and said, "I'll take it and throw it away in the river. Other animals will eat it."
With that, Wu Jiong was about to leave.
Jian Mo watched him leave with the heavy fish, and suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I seem to remember a way to make fish."
Wu Jiong: "What?"
Jian Mo: "I don't know if you have that tradition here. Just pickle the fish and shrimp with salt, and then use the juice to make seasoning."
Wu Jiong imagined the scene and frowned: "Isn't that blood?"
Jian Mo: "No, no, we are there. It's called fish sauce. It's completely different from the blood water of raw fish after adding salt and fermentation. I think you can give it a try."
Jian Mo looked at the fish in his hand: "Anyway, these fish are useless. I'll try to make it. Fish sauce. Otherwise, there are too few seasonings on hand, and I always feel like something is missing. "
Few people can cook without oyster sauce and soy sauce. I haven't found beans yet, so don't think about beans for now. It would be nice to get some fish sauce or something.
The more Jian Mo thought about it, the more feasible it became: "I'll bring a big jar down."
Wu Jiong: "Just stuff the fish into the jar and ferment it?"
Jian Mo: "No, you have to pound it into surimi and then ferment it."
Wu Jiong: After taking a look at it: "If you take it to the big stone and pound it into surimi, everyone will have opinions."
Jian Mo smiled: "Then let's take it to the river and smash it into surimi with stones. After smashing it, Throw the stones into the river, and everyone will have no problem with it."
That was all that could be done for the time being, so the two went to the river to smash the salmon into minced fish and then brought it back.
It was already dark when we got home.
Jian Mo poured the minced fish into a clean jar and put salt in it.
Wu Jiong: "How much salt should be added?"
Jian Mo sighed: "I really can't remember this. I think it should be twice as much as the bacon. After all, fish mince will not be dried in the sun. If there is less salt, I guess it will It will go bad soon."
Wu Jiong picked up the big bowl and poured it into the jar.
After the salt was poured, Jian Mo took another piece of cleaned firewood, mixed the fish meat with the salt thoroughly, then put a layer of salt on top, and let them seal and ferment in the jar.
"Okay." Jian Mo straightened up, stuffed the fishy wood into the stove, and burned it directly later, "Now move the jar to the corner, and I'll see how the fermentation goes in two days. Like."
Wu Jiong moved the jar and smelled his hand: "I'm going to take a shower first and then come back for dinner."
Jian Mo was also full of fishy smell: "I'll go with you."
The weather is getting hotter now. If you warm up well, bathing in the river is not a big problem.
The two of them ran to the upper reaches of the tribe with soap and took a good bath.
Jian Mo thought that Wu Jiong turned into a giant wolf during the day and walked around in the river, and his hair was all wet, so he asked him to transform back into a giant wolf and planned to give his animal form a good wash.
Wu Jiong said: "Bathing the beast form is very tiring."
Jian Mo was happy and rolled up her sleeves: "That's because you don't know what line of work I did before. I have experience in bathing cats and dogs."
Wu Jiong said. Jiong heard what he said about the past and reminded: "I am different from those little guys."
Jian Mo: "You can also learn from previous experience. Change quickly, otherwise the mud and water will shrink into the pores."
Wu Jiong At his urging, he had no choice but to turn into a giant wolf and lie down in the river.
Jian Mo jumped forward and hugged him: "You're so handsome!"
The giant wolf pressed his mouth gently against him: "Is this position okay?"
Jian Mo: "Okay, I'll soap you up."
The giant wolf is very large, but he is very cooperative, and washing it is much easier than washing ordinary large animals.
Jian Mo rubbed him once, let him lie on his side in the water, and used the running water to take away the foam on his body.
The giant wolf didn't complain at all, but his ears twitched when he lay down.
Jian Mo kissed his ear, and the smile on his face grew stronger.
After the two took a shower, they went home hand in hand.
Jiujiu, who was squatting in the yard waiting for dinner, saw them coming back and let out a "chirp" in the darkness, with a pair of eyes gleaming green.
This guy looks a little aggrieved.
Jian Mo smiled and went up and patted its butt: "Didn't we feed you snacks before we went out? Are you still chewing?"
Tweeted: "Wow!"
Jian Mo: "Okay, okay, let's go cook now." "
Wu Jiong: "I'll stew the Ambush fish first."
Jian Mo: "I'll cook two dishes later. I haven't eaten stir-fried vegetables for several days."
They were busy until late at night . meal.
However, today's meal was relatively large. Although Chiu Jiu had to wait for a long time, he was still very satisfied when he actually ate the meal and kept chirping next to him.
This time they went out to catch salmon. In addition to fish gallbladders and pickled fish, they also had arrow bone beasts sent by Ban Ming.
Ban Ming took his friends to the wild and searched for several nights before finally gathering the thirteen arrow-bone beasts.
After everything was delivered, he had dark circles under his eyes and sat weakly on the recliner in the yard of Jian Mo's house: "I will never bet with the clan leader next time. I finally understand that if he is not sure, I won't agree at all."
Jian Mo brought him the tea with milk and sugar. "Thank you."
Ban Ming said, "It's really hard, but I'm exhausted. How is the fish sauce done? My dad asked me to ask. "
Jian Mo: "I don't know, it's not bad yet, let it continue to ferment."
As for the fish sauce, Jian Mo said. I have only used it, never made it myself, and don't know how to operate it.
All he could do was wait slowly for the fish sauce to ferment or completely spoil.
However, he had a hunch that fish sauce should be successfully produced and become their first fermented condiment.
Chapter 87 The Stray Cub
As the weather gradually gets warmer, the daylight here is getting earlier and earlier.
In winter, Jian Mo got up at the same time, before dawn.
Now he gets up at the same time, and the sun is almost out.
After getting up, he yawned, washed up, and went to the river to pick vegetables to prepare breakfast.
After a period of care, the vegetables by their riverside are growing better and better. Except for the tendon grass, which has become a little sparse due to being cut too many times, the other vegetables are very lush.
Jian Mo checked it and found that the leaves of the green onion had grown out. The thick and hollow leaves were very similar to the leaves on the earth.
He pinched a handful and held it in his hand, then went to look at the roots and hair roots. Both types of stems are growing well and nothing much can be seen for the time being.
Among the fields by the river, the most beautiful thing is the grass.
These grasses are lush and green, and they look like well-tended lawns. If the area were not a bit small, it would be an exaggeration to call them a sea of ââgrass.
Jian Mo finished picking vegetables and turned back.
The cubs in the tribe and Jiujiu were playing outside. When they saw Jian Mo, they stopped and called people sweetly: "Brother Jian Mo."
Jian Mo smiled and greeted them: "Good boy, you can continue playing."
Little cubs We and Jiujiu played together again and ran away huffing and puffing.
Jian Mo went home, chopped green onion leaves, mixed them with garlic powder, added salt and clam powder, and planned to mix it into green onion leaf sauce.
The pureed stems mixed with this sauce taste very good, much better than the stems cooked in white water.
While Jian Mo was cooking in the kitchen, Wu Jiong came in from outside.
Jian Mo asked casually: "Have you finished feeding the beast?"
After saying that, Jian Mo turned his head and glanced. Unfortunately, he happened to catch a glimpse of a red mark on the back of Wu Jiong's hand: "What's wrong with your hand?"
Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong took a look at his hand and asked, "Why are you injured?"
Wu Jiong said, "The beasts were a little anxious today. When I went to feed them, several beasts rushed over. I happened to knock my hands, and they will be there later. It's okay,
don't worry about it." Jian Mo looked carefully and made sure that his bones were not injured, and then asked: "Is the beast in trouble?"
Wu Jiong: "Maybe.
" : "Then I'll go over and take a look after dinner."
They quickly made breakfast and ate it, and fed Jiujiu before Jian Mo took the time to go see the beast of burden.
Their family has two big ones and six small ones, a total of eight beasts of burden, five of which are female and three of which are male.
It was the three male beasts that hit Wu Jiongshou in the morning.
Jian Mo checked their condition and found that their eyes were red, their body temperature increased, and their external genitalia had changed. They were indeed in heat.
Counting the days, it has been more than a hundred days since the little beast was born and almost two hundred days ago, and it has reached the age of breeding.
The beasts of burden are known to be timid and capable of giving birth. They have been busy with other things these days, but they have ignored the beasts in heat.
Wu Jiong asked Jian Mo what he wanted to do.
Jian Mo: "Two more unrelated male beasts of burden will be used to breed them?"
Facing Wu Jiong's confused eyes, Jian Mo said: "The cubs born from unrelated beasts of burden are less likely to carry diseases. "It happens that we have no use for the three male beasts of burden, so let's exchange them for food or other male beasts."
Wu Jiong understood: "Which tribe should I exchange for?
" He thought for a while: "There are several tribes, but the two big beasts of burden were given to us by Amon. How about we go to the Xiongying tribe to change them? The road is a bit far, but the beasts they have there should be the same as ours. The beasts of burden are of the same species, so they are more suitable."
Wu Jiong had no objection: "We will set off later, or spend the night in the Xiongying tribe or outside."
Jian Mo: "Then we have to bring some food. Pack it up."
After they were ready, they planned to tie up the beast of burden and carry it to the hero tribe.
The pack animals may have been frightened in the morning, or they may have been timid. As soon as they tried to tie up the three male pack animals, the three pack animals struggled desperately and ran around in the barn.
Before Jian Mo and the others could catch the three male beasts of burden, the five female beasts of burden were scared to death and huddled in the corner, shivering.
Wu Jiong: "This doesn't work. Why don't we just drive them out and use branches to drive them to the heroic tribe?"
Generally, when dealing with such timid beasts, everyone would use branches to slowly drive them outside, instead of Forcibly carry it on your back.
Jian Mo thought for a while and felt that it was still too far: "It doesn't feel good. Let me feed them some anesthetic. After feeding them, they will be tied up and they will be better."
Wu Jiong: "That's okay."
So the two went back to the house to find the anesthetic. After boiling water, I gave two mouthfuls to each of the three male beasts of burden, and quickly brought them down.
It will be much easier to carry them away now.
Before setting off, Jian Mo specifically approached Qing Kuo and told him that he and Wu Jiong were going out to exchange for pack beasts and might not be able to come back today. He asked Qing Kuo to help take care of their remaining pack beasts and Jiu Jiu.
Qingkuo agreed without saying a word.
Wu Jiong turned into a giant wolf and carried Jian Mo and three beasts of burden on his back without much difficulty and ran very fast on the road.
Unexpectedly, before they ran out of the riverside tribe's territory, someone rushed up to them, calling their names and asking them to stop.
Jian Mo looked carefully and found that he was from the Mengshui tribe. He couldn't help but raise his voice and asked: "Are you looking for us?"
The Mengshui tribe people shouted: "Yes, we are looking for you. Doctor Jian Mo, we have a patient over there. I want you to come over and take a look."
Jian Mo: "What patient? Have you brought him here? I'll take a look now."
Jian Mote brought his medical kit with him to the Heroic Tribe. With drugs, even if you treat patients in the wild, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
He was already preparing to get down from the giant wolf to treat the patient, but the people from the Mengshui tribe on the opposite side said: "We didn't bring him here. It's not suitable to bring him mainly to the Riverside tribe, so I want to ask you to go to the Mengshui tribe. "
What's inappropriate about this?" Jian Mo thought for a moment and immediately understood that they were hiding something: "What is the inappropriateness?"
Jian Mo thought that the people from the Mengshui tribe would be more obscure. Unexpectedly, when he asked, the people from the Mengshui tribe immediately He said angrily:
"The one who is sick is a wandering little orc. We can't tell which tribe of orcs he belongs to. Anyway, he is not from a nearby tribe."
"The little guy's whole body is covered with scabs. He looks in very bad condition. I don't know if there are any infectious diseases or bugs, so I can't bring them to your tribe."
"I don't know which tribe actually kicked out such a little orc. He is really unworthy of human beings."
"We asked for a long time but didn't find out. "The orc may be a little fool."
"That's probably the case. We have no choice but to ask you for help."
Jian Mo immediately said: "No problem. Is he seriously ill?"
Mengshui tribe people said: "It doesn't seem to be serious. We checked and felt that his condition is not good. We don't know the specific disease. "
When Jian Mo heard this, he said, "Let's go back with you for a while. I'll stay in your tribe later. Wu Jiong, go and change the beast and come back to pick me up?" What was
the second part of Jian Mo's question? It's a giant wolf.
The giant wolf said: "Let's stop at the Mengshui tribe together before going to the Xiongying tribe."
The people of the Mengshui tribe heard their conversation and asked: "What do you want to exchange for the beasts of burden? Our tribe also has beasts of burden, Just switch with our tribe."
Jian Mo: "When did you raise the beast of burden? Didn't you raise it before?"
People from the Mengshui tribe: "It seems that you raise it well. You can get some milk every day. Yes, our tribe has raised them. But they are not as easy to raise as you. I don't know what happened if they were raised."
Jian Mo: "Not careful enough?"
People from the Mengshui tribe: "I don't know. Anyway, it's quite troublesome. Our clan leader said that if we can't raise him well for another year, forget it and won't raise him anymore. "
We are all familiar with him, and we chatted all the way to the Mengshui Tribe.
The people of the Mengshui tribe did not expect that Jian Mo and Wu Jiong would arrive so soon. Yun Rong came to greet them personally: "Doctor Jian Mo, chief of the Wu Jiong tribe, it's been a long time since I last saw you. I'm going to trouble you today."
Jian Mo: "You're welcome. Where is that wandering orc? Can you let me go and take a look? "
Yun You: "It's been arranged in our tribe's empty house. I'll take you there now."
They just exchanged a few words and went straight to see that. Wandering little orc.
The stray little orcs were placed in an empty house, and the orcs from the Mengshui tribe were guarding outside to prevent the stray little orcs from running out and causing any accidents.
Jian Mo opened the medical kit, put on the gloves and mask first, and then distributed the masks to others to make them wear them safer.
No one refused.
After entering, the first time Jian Mo saw the little orc, he knew why the people of the Mengshui tribe were so angry.
The little orc inside was too small, about the size of an adult sheep, and was covered in thick scabs, making him look like the legendary mammoth.
Jian Mo often interacts with the cubs in the tribe. The beasts of the orcs are very large. The cubs of this size are no more than three years old at most.
The lifespan of the orcs is particularly long, and they do not reach adulthood until they are at least twenty years old.
Such a small cub cannot be called a child, at best it is considered an infant.
I don't know which tribe is so wicked as to let the baby wander.
Jian Mo also became angry. He took a deep breath to calm down, and said in a soft voice to the little boy in front of him: "I am Jian Mo, the witch doctor of the Riverside Tribe. I came to check on you. I won't hurt you. Don't be afraid. ."
The little boy shrank and said nothing.
Seeing that the little boy was not struggling, Jian Mo walked over and gently touched the little boy's head, trying to comfort him.
Wu Jiong is right next to him, following Jian Mo every step of the way. If anything happens, he will take action immediately to ensure Jian Mo's safety.
Jian Mo touched the little cub for a while before treating the little cub.
The cub's thick fur was almost turning into felt. The felt was wrapped in a mess of dried blood, hay and dust. It gave off a strong smell and it had not been taken care of for an unknown period of time.
Under normal conditions, cubs will lick their own fur, bathe themselves, and take care of themselves.
This is almost a biological instinct. It is actually very rare for this stray cub to have no grooming at all. No wonder the people of the Mengshui Tribe wondered if he was a little fool.
Suppressing all kinds of speculations, Jian Mo began to check the little cub's condition.
The cub is very thin, and its four claws are thin and boney, but it is not deformed, and there are no bleeding or rotting wounds on its body. It just has a lot of parasites and several skin diseases.
In this case, you will definitely need to shave your hair.
Jian Mo told the people of the Mengshui tribe what he thought: "I need to shave this little cub's hair before further treatment. If possible, you can send me a large basin of hot water, soap and the like. You also need to be ready."
Yun Cong promised: "We'll get ready now. Do you want a knife?"
Jian Mo opened the medical kit: "No, I have scissors and razors here, just use mine. To shave him, you'd better leave two of you here. I'll call you when I need help."
Yun Rong also agreed: "I'll stay here." Jian Mo
nodded: "Then I'll start."
When the cub was being sheared, the cub dodged again. When Jian Mo gently pressed his back, he stopped hiding. Instead, he felt as if a jar had been broken.
Maybe he encountered something while wandering that made him realize that hiding was useless.
Jian Mo sighed inwardly and continued to cut the cub's fur.
Cut off the long, scabbed hair first, and then shave off the short hair, which will probably take some effort.
Fortunately, the little cub is very cooperative, and it should be almost done in the middle of the morning.
Jian Mo comforted the cub while shearing him. When cutting sensitive parts, Jian Mo would specially protect them with his hands before cutting.
Xiao Zai felt Jian Mo's gentle movements and turned to look at him, his eyes flashing.
Chapter 88 The truth:
The fur on the little stray orc's body is very long and knotted, which is not easy to handle.
Jian Mo first cut off the long hair on the stray little orc, then took a razor and carefully shaved off the short layer of hair on the little orc until only a layer of furry stubble remained.
It was much refreshing now, and it was also helpful for Jian Mo to check the little orc's body.
The shaved little guy's spine is bald, and his ribs are even more distinct.
The little guy who showed his face was very handsome and his eyes were gentle.
Jian Mo looked at this little guy and knew that this little guy had a good temper.
He turned around and called to Wu Jiong: "Help me carry him to the bathtub, and we'll give him a bath."
Wu Jiong came over, picked up the little guy, and took him to the bathtub prepared by the Mengshui tribe outside the house.
Jian Mo followed and said to the little guy, "Let's give you a bath. You have freshly cut hair and you will be itchy if you don't take a bath."
The little guy didn't react or resist.
Wu Jiong gently placed the little guy next to the bathtub.
Jian Mo knelt down and touched the little guy's head first, then took a spoonful of hot water and poured it down his back.
The little guy shrank, Jian Mo scratched his chin to comfort him, and the little guy calmed down quickly.
The two first poured hot water over the little guy and then made soap bubbles for him.
The soap from the Mengshui Tribe is obtained from the Riverside Tribe. The foam is very rich and delicate, and it smells of a light herbal fragrance. It should be very comfortable to wash on the body.
Both Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were careful to avoid the ulcerated areas of the little guy's skin, lest the soap sting him.
After washing it with soap and then rinsing it with water, Jian Mo wrapped the little guy in a clean cloth and wiped the moisture from his body while Wu Jiong held him in the sun to bask in the sun.
The two people gathered around the little guy and took out herbal ointment to treat skin diseases and applied it to the little guy.
Herbal ointment is an ointment that uses animal oil as a base and adds various herbal juices. It is cool when applied and has a herbal fragrance.
As he was applying it, big tears suddenly appeared in the little guy's eyes, and then he started sobbing.
Jian Mo paused for a moment, wiped his tears with a clean cloth next to him, and patted his back gently: "It's okay, he's safe."
The little guy was still crying.
Jian Mo wiped his tears and applied ointment on him, but did not stop him.
After crying for a long time, when it was noon, the people from the Mengshui tribe came over to bring them food, and even specially prepared a bowl of meat soup for the little orc.
The meat in the meat soup is chopped very finely, and there is still a little bit of soup. It is obvious that the person who made it put a lot of thought into it.
The little orc took one look, burst into tears again, opened his mouth, and whispered, "Thank you."
The orc who delivered the meal was stunned for a moment and looked at Jian Mo: "Can the little guy talk?"
Jian Mo was also surprised. , shook his head slightly, indicating that he was unclear.
The sub-orc who delivered the meal immediately said: "I'll call our clan leader."
Yun Rong came over quickly and touched the little orc's head: "What's your name?"
Yun Rong was born with smiling eyes and a very gentle temperament. , very friendly, squatting patiently in front of the little orc, looking good-tempered.
The little orc moved to Jian Mo's knees, and after a while he replied: "Xingyuan, I'll wake up Yuan."
If the little guy is willing to talk, things will be easier to handle.
Everyone gathered around the little guy and asked him where he came from and why he was wandering in the wilderness.
The little guy told the whole story intermittently.
It turned out that the little guy's two fathers were from the Qinglin tribe. They were old and decided to leave the tribe and travel.
The couple married young and were never able to conceive a child. Unexpectedly, during the journey, the orc man actually became pregnant. Because they were too old, the sub-orcs didn't realize that he was pregnant. By the time they realized they had a child, the child was already older.
The couple were shocked and immediately rushed to the tribe.
They failed to rush back to the tribe, and Xingyuan was born on the way. For the sake of safety, the couple specially found a tribe to stay temporarily. When Xingyuan was older, his two fathers discussed it and decided that it would be more beneficial for his growth to bring him back to the Qinglin Tribe.
Unfortunately, the little guy's father aged rapidly during the journey and passed away. His father realized that they might not be able to get back to the Qinglin tribe, so he tried to take the little guy to an inhabited place, hoping to entrust the little guy to a certain tribe.
Although the little guy's dad was pretty good at it and had a smooth journey, he was still no match for the pain of aging and the death of his partner. Halfway through, the little guy's father also passed away. Before he died, the little guy's father told him to grow his hair long and walk along the river to find the tribe where the orcs live.
The little guy obeyed the instructions and went along the river to find a tribe.
However, he was too young and was chased by several waves of wild animals along the way. He left the river and took many detours.
Fortunately, he was an orc, and his natural hunting ability was quite good. His thick hair also protected him from many attacks. He escaped smoothly every time, and then returned to the river and walked along the river. Later, he finally met people from the Mengshui tribe. .
No one expected that the little guy's journey would be so tortuous, and many people shed tears while listening.
Jian Mo also felt sour in his heart. The local orcs and sub-orcs had a tradition of traveling when they were old, not only to avoid the sadness of death, but also to try to see the bigger world in the last days of their lives. It happened that they could leave their bodies after death. Leave it to the wild beasts outside.
The couple had been looking forward to a child that had never come all their lives, but it came at this stage.
God's will plays tricks on people, that's probably it.
Yun Rong patted the little guy's back gently: "From now on, you can live in our Mengshui tribe. This is your home."
The little guy hesitated and nodded.
Yun Long gently scratched his chin and wiped away his tears: "Our tribe is very good. You will know when you get familiar with it."
The little guy nodded again.
After making sure that the little guy was fine, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong planned to return to the Riverside Tribe for the time being.
Jian Mo refused to charge for the little guy's treatment, so the people from the Mengshui tribe helped him replace the three male pack beasts with three new pack beasts, one male, two females, as compensation for him.
Jian Mo accepted this.
After they returned to the riverside tribe, Jian Mo still felt bad and said to Wu Jiong: "It's really inhumane for the elderly friends to go out and wander."
Wu Jiong: "The tradition left over from the time when food was insufficient, many years ago The older friends will go out. Before you came, we were still hungry sometimes in winter. There was nothing we could do."
Jian Mo pressed her forehead on his shoulder tiredly: "There will be a way in the future, at least our tribe will not let Nian go. My old friend is out."
Wu Jiong touched the back of Jian Mo's head: "Okay."
Jian Mo kept the wandering little orc Xingyuan in mind. The next day, he packed some cloths and other items and packed sausages to bring to Xingyuan.
When going downstairs, Jian Mo hesitated for a moment, then turned back and took out a knife and put it in the basket.
Outside, Wu Jiong was already waiting in the yard. Jian Mo took out the knife and showed it to Wu Jiong: "I want to give this knife to Xingyuan. It's really hard for the little guy to find the Mengshui tribe."
Wu Jiong said. Jiong had no objection: "He might be more cheerful after he has personal property."
Jian Mo: "I think so too. With something in hand, he may feel more secure."
They are going to Mengshui Tribe today and plan to ride directly Tweeted over.
Jiujiu can fly a straight distance, much faster than they can run.
Jiujiu was so happy to be able to go out with them. He didn't mind flying with them on his back at all. He even chirped "chirpjiujiu" all the way and was very happy.
Jian Mo patted Jiu Jiu on the back and felt much better.
When Jian Mo saw the wandering little orc wake up, she saw that the skin disease on his body had stopped oozing, and his brows had relaxed a bit, and she was even happier.
As expected of a little orc, he is in good health, keeps up with his nutrition, and recovers very quickly.
After Jian Mo checked him, he applied the medicine again and touched his head.
The little guy smiled sheepishly at Jian Mo, showing his neat white teeth.
Jian Mo asked: "Xingyuan, can you transform?"
The little guy hesitated for a moment, nodded, squatted on the ground, and transformed back into human form.
The little guy in human form is thinner and has protruding ribs, but he has a bulging belly, which looks quite cute.
He was so embarrassed that he squatted on the ground and refused to get up.
Jian Mo took out a piece of cloth from the basket on his back, tied it around his waist, and tied a knot clumsily.
Wu Jiong couldn't stand it, so he untied the knot and tied it again gently.
The little guy touched the fabric on his body and pursed his lips with a sheepish smile. It could be seen that he was very happy.
Jian Mo took out a small knife with a wooden scabbard from the basket on his back and handed it to the little guy: "This is the knife for you. I hope you will be strong and brave in the future and grow taller quickly."
The little guy's eyes burst with surprise and he stretched out his hand . I want to pick it up, but I dare not.
Wu Jiong thrust the knife into his hand: "Take it, just pay attention to safety."
The little guy took the knife and whispered: "Thank you Doctor Jian Mo, thank you Chief Wu Jiong."
The little guy said with a sweet voice . It was so cute. Jian Mo touched his head again and said, "You're welcome."
Hearing that Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were coming, Yun Rong came over quickly and avoided Xingyuan to discuss with them: "We want to find the right boy." What do you think about the child's partner adopting Xingyuan? "
The fertility rate of people in this world is not high. For example, in the Riverside tribe, Yingduan and Shuijin have never had children in their lives. Hongqiu and Jiangtou have also had partners, but they have never had children. No children.
The situation in the Mengshui tribe is similar. There are many couples in the tribe who have no children. It seems that it will be difficult to have children in the future.
They wanted to find a middle-aged partner for Xingyuan to be their father, and the tribe would give them an extra supply of supplies. Presumably, if the couple did have a child, they wouldn't mind raising another child.
Xingyuan will soon grow up and be able to live on his own. Even if something happens, the Mengshui Tribe will take care of him and prevent him from wandering again.
Neither Jian Mo nor Wu Jiong had any objections. Jian Mo just asked: "What does Xingyuan think? Does he accept his new father?"
Yun Youn said: "We asked and he was willing. He said that his father had told him before that if If someone is willing to adopt him, he will live with his new father."
Since both parties are willing, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong have no objections: "Let's do it."
Jian Mo took the basket and said, "Let's do it. I brought some supplies to Xingyuan, you can give them to him."
Yun Nong said, "You can just give them the supplies you brought."
Yun Nong smiled and said, "This is the relationship between you and Xing Yuan. This kid is smart. He knows it."
Jian Mo waved his hand and said, "I just hope he can live a better life. I have no other ideas."
Wu Jiong said, "If he doesn't adapt to the life of your tribe, you can put him there." Send them to our riverside tribe."
Yun Luan was surprised: "Aren't all your tribes in the form of cats and dogs?"
Wu Jiong: "Humans are more important, and it's not impossible to have other animal forms in our tribe. "Members in the form of beasts."
When orcs and sub-orcs become partners, not only the sub-orcs will live in the orc tribe, but sometimes the orcs will also live in the sub-orc tribe. The Riverside tribe has accepted several sub-orc people. Living orcs.
Jian Mo heard what they said and inquired about the situation of awakening the original beast form.
Xingyuan's animal form has been determined, which is similar to a mammoth. In the future, his animal form will grow very big and very brave.
When Jian Mo heard the news, he was quite happy for the little guy.
No matter what, being strong is a good thing.
Neither Jian Mo nor Wu Jiong had any objections. After consulting Xingyuan's thoughts, the Mengshui Tribe found him a middle-aged partner with relatively good conditions to adopt him.
His two adoptive fathers were very happy to successfully adopt him. They specially prepared a room, clothes, etc. for Xingyuan. They looked very careful at first glance.
Seeing this situation, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were slightly relieved.
After handling Xingyuan's matter, Yun Rong talked to Wu Jiong and the others about business: "The fact that Xingyuan followed the beasts here means that many beasts have migrated here. We want to see it. Do you want to go with your tribe?" I will be able to take care of you then."
Wu Jiong: "Have you asked Xingyuan?"
Yun Nong nodded: "I have. There are indeed many beasts on the plains outside. We should send a team of orcs to hunt. We can catch a lot of prey."
Wu Jiong thought for a while: "I want to go back and discuss it with the clansmen."
Yun Nong smiled: "Then we are waiting for your news. Whether we go or not, please send someone over to tell us. Well, if you don't want to go, we'll go by ourselves."
Wu Jiong agreed, "Okay, I'll send someone to get back to you tomorrow."
On the way back, Jian Mo sat on Jiu Jiu's back and asked Wu Jiong behind him. Where is the Great Plain? Isn't it the territory of the Yigu Tribe below our tribe and the Mengshui Tribe?"
Wu Jiong circled him and explained carefully: "There is also a large plain below the Yigu Tribe, and many wild animals migrate every spring and summer. Coming here is more dangerous and there are many wild animals. It is not owned by any tribe for the time being. It is an ownerless territory."
Jian Mo was curious: "Then why should we consider that in this case, can't we just go there and hunt?"
Wu Jiong? : "The road from our tribe to the Great Plains is quite far, and it is not easy to carry the prey back. If the beast tide does not come, it is not worthwhile to make the trip."
Jian Mo: "Xingyuan has brought us certain news. "You should gain a lot from a trip, right?"
Wu Jiong: "It depends on how many people want to go. If there are fewer people, it's still not worthwhile. If there are more people, it's fine. We'll go back to the tribe and ask. It won't be certain after all." If you want to go with the Mengshui tribe, we may form a group to go there alone."
Jian Mo understood: "There are many things to worry about, so we can't agree rashly."
Wu Jiong smiled: "That's what I mean."
Chapter 89
All the adults sat in the open space for a meeting by the Great Plains River and decided whether to go hunting on the Great Plains.
The cubs listened and learned to deal with tribal affairs.
After listening to Wu Jiong's explanation of the situation, there were many people who supported hunting in the Great Plains and many who opposed hunting in the Great Plains.
Supporters said:
"Since the beast tide is coming, you can bring back a lot of food with just one trip, so why not run?"
"Take advantage of this time to take a trip and catch more prey. We will be much more relaxed in the next period of time. I can still find time to do something else."
"Yes, you don't have to rush so much during the next full moon night and summer festival. You can relax."
The objections also have good reasons:
"The beast tide is coming, and the food is. It's a lot, but it's also very dangerous. It would be troublesome if you get injured."
"It's already spring, there's no shortage of food in the tribe, so there's no need."
"If you want to hunt, there's also a lot of imported prey in the tribe, so there's no need to run away. So far."
Everyone expressed their opinions, but no one could convince anyone, and the voices became louder and louder, almost quarreling.
Jian Mo took a look at it quietly. Among the backbone of the tribe, Dejiang disagreed with the past, while Qingkuo expressed his willingness to take risks.
Looking at Wu Jiong again, he had no expression. Even Jian Mo couldn't tell whether this guy agreed or disagreed.
Jian Mo belongs to the group of people who are willing to go out.
He has confidence in Wu Jiong's strength, and also wants to see the beast tide in the Great Plains.
It's just that everyone was making a lot of noise and he couldn't say anything.
Wu Jiong waited for everyone to finish arguing and then spoke for a vote.
In the end, the number of people willing to go hunting won by a slim margin.
Wu Jiong asked those who were willing to go to sign up, and those who were unwilling to stay in the tribe to guard their homes.
Wu Jiong sent people to talk to the Mengshui tribe, and finally the two tribes set a date for departure.
Jian Mo had never gone out hunting before, so she felt excited about going out for a spring outing, but also a little nervous.
He asked Wu Jiong: "How did you go hunting in the past? Were many people injured?"
Wu Jiong said: "Not many. Sub-orcs are basically not injured. Most of the injured orcs are gored by wild beasts or gored by wild beasts during hunting. Bite. Even if you don't go out hunting, you still have the risk of getting injured, but there aren't many wild animals in the tribe, so the number of people injured won't be very high."
Jian Mo understood that he was on the side of going out for hunting: "Actually, there isn't much risk in going hunting."
Wu Jiong nodded.
Jian Mo: "Then let me bring an extra supply of medicine and equipment to be prepared. Then take Jiujiu out. If it's really dangerous, it can help carry some people into the sky."
Wu Jiong: "Okay, let's prepare some more food. When we go out hunting, the food may not be so delicious."
Jian Mo rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's make some more mushroom sauce and green onion sauce to dip into the meat."
Jian Mo was nervously preparing. It was finally time for them to go hunting.
This time there were 80 people from the Riverside tribe and 80 people from the Mengshui tribe. They were all young and strong, and two-thirds of them were orcs.
They set out with a large amount of salt and spice powder. When the prey was caught, they would process it on the spot and make it into dried meat, which not only reduced the weight, but also made it easier to transport.
Jian Mo prepared two baskets of various medicines and surgical instruments, just in case.
The orcs from the two tribes transformed back into their beast forms and ran forward in a line, looking like a tide of beasts.
Chiujiu flapped its wings and flew above them, occasionally surpassing them and even flying back a little. It seemed like she was having a great time.
Jian Mo sat on the giant wolf, listening to the thumping footsteps, nervous and a little excited.
When the orcs ran, dust rose up, covering the sky and the sun, and the momentum was very huge.
Along the way, let alone any beasts without eyes that dared to mess with them, even if they heard footsteps in the distance, all kinds of beasts would run away desperately.
They ran straight towards the Great Plains with an indomitable attitude.
When passing by the Yigu tribe, the Yigu tribe heard the movement and sent someone to ask. Knowing that they were going to the Great Plains for hunting, they didn't say anything and just let them go first. The Yigu tribe would soon go there to hunt.
The two tribesmen set out early in the morning.
After rushing until noon, everyone finally arrived at the Great Plains and arrived at the previously discussed location.
Jian Mo sat on the giant wolf and looked at the huge grassland in front of him and the scattered big trees on the grassland, inexplicably thinking of the African savannah.
Especially those huge groups of beasts that gather together look more like them.
He could clearly tell that in addition to the large number of herbivores, there were also some carnivores and scavengers following the herd, and there were also carnivorous or scavenging raptors circling in the sky.
This is not a herd of beasts, but an entire food chain.
So shocking.
The men from the Mengshui tribe who were leading the team at the front shouted and signaled the team to find a safe base first.
Jian Mo saw that they were not walking towards the river, but towards the mountains. She hugged the giant wolf's neck in confusion and asked, "Aren't we going to camp by the river?"
The giant wolf turned his head to look at him and whispered. : "Not by the river. The water may rise in the middle of the night. Moreover, many wild animals will go to the river to drink water. There are also ferocious beasts lurking in the river. Most of the people staying in the camp are sub-orcs. It is too dangerous. It is safer on the mountain."
Jian Mo : "No wonder."
The two tribes discussed it and finally decided to camp on the top of a low mountain.
When they arrived at the camp, the large army left a few orcs to guard the camp, while the other orcs took the time to go out hunting.
Jian Mo watched them running down in groups and asked about the situation: "Won't this scare the prey away?"
Qing Kuo shook his head: "They went directly to chase and intercept. There are so many prey, some of them can escape, and others will be captured." Just block it."
Jian Mo: "Isn't it hard to run?"
Qing Kuo: "No way, what we are pursuing is not to catch the prey, but to catch the prey without injury. There are many prey here, but they are also fierce. , if you don't do it right, you may get your stomach broken, or your legs will be trampled, so you have to be very careful."
Jian Mo sighed: "It seems that hunting is not easy even if there are many prey."
"That's right. Kuo said, clapped his hands and shouted to the others, "Let's set up camp quickly. They will probably bring the prey back later."
Everyone agreed quickly.
They had just chosen this place as a camp before, but before setting up camp, they had to clean it up and get rid of the things they brought.
For example, if the grass on the ground is relatively dense, it must be cut off first to prevent poisonous insects from hiding in the grass.
In addition to cutting grass and leveling the land, they also had to fetch water and collect firewood.
There are relatively few trees on this side of the grassland. Even if there are, the water content is very high and they cannot be burned directly as firewood.
People who go to collect firewood mainly pick up the dung of herbivorous animals. These dried dung is more resistant to burning than ordinary grass and has no special smell. It can be regarded as a good fuel when burned.
The sub-orcs who came out this time were all very skilled. They organized the camp in an orderly manner without any accidents.
Jian Mo's skills are average, mainly cutting grass and leveling the land.
This time he came out mainly as a chef and doctor. No one would let him do any heavier work.
Jian Mo could feel everyone's care and worked harder.
Before they could set up camp, the orcs sent back the first batch of prey.
Most of these prey were prey that Jian Mo had never seen before. The prey were very large and plump.
He had never seen the orcs bring back so many prey at one time before. In the past, they brought back only a few or five animals, but today they brought back one group after another.
The sub-orcs started working immediately after receiving the prey.
The agile sub-orcs took the initiative to take on the work of skinning and cutting the meat, such as Qing Kuo and Ye Luo, while others helped transport the meat and apply spices.
As for the animal blood - all the animal blood that was inconvenient to take away was fed to Jiujiu. I would give it a small portion of food and a basket of grass later, which would be enough to feed it.
Jian Mo was busy among them and found that no one washed the prey with water at all after getting it, even the internal organs. Except for leaving the intestines alone, everyone simply wiped the internal organs with grass and wiped them with salt, and wiped them with water. Spices, start drying.
Jian Mo quietly asked Ye Luo: "Don't you wash all these meats?"
Ye Luo took the time to reply: "It's too troublesome to wash it. It's not safe to go to the river to wash it. You can marinate it and dry it in the sun before eating it. Then cook and wash it later."
A sub-orc from the Mengshui tribe heard their conversation and said, "It doesn't need to be washed and it's not dirty. It's all the food inside the prey. Just scoop it out when you eat it."
Jian Mo said a little . Shocked, I could only continue working.
Just working round after round like this made Jian Mo's hands numb from exhaustion, and he no longer felt like a spring outing at all.
However, they did gain a lot from hunting. In just one afternoon, they could harvest as much prey as they could in five or six days in the tribe.
In the evening, when the sunset began to come out, the people of the two tribes discussed with each other to make dinner.
After some discussion, everyone unanimously decided to have stew tonight.
It happened that Jian Mo's large iron pot was light and strong, so they brought it out. They used these two large iron pots to stew meat today.
Everyone set up a simple stove on the grass, put the iron pot on it, and put the meat in it.
As they said, the meat was cut into pieces without being washed and put into the pot, and then water was added to start stewing.
The fire under the pot was burning brightly. Jian Mo, who was in charge of stewing the meat, stood in front of the big pot. Before the water inside was completely boiled, he started to remove any foam as soon as it started to boil.
Everyone marveled at his meticulous cooking.
Jian Mo had no choice but to eat the meat himself, so he had to make it clean.
Jian Mo carefully beat up the foam and put the spices in to stew.
Local spices will give the meat cooked in plain water a special aroma. In this way, the fresh meat does not need to be put in anything else. Cook it over high heat until it is soft and tender, and just dip it in the sauce when you want to eat it.
The sky was getting dark, and the hunting orcs were back.
After a tiring day of running around, everyone can finally start to rest.
Sitting in front of the pot and watching the red bonfire, everyone first took bowls to scoop out the broth and drink it.
When drinking the broth, you can add a pinch of salt according to your own taste, or just drink it without adding anything.
Although the broth is authentic and uses no special cooking methods, it is delicious enough for those who have had a tiring day.
Everyone drank the broth and chatted:
"I don't know why, but I feel that today's broth is particularly fragrant."
"Then don't you see who cooked the meat today? Doctor Jian Mo, your broth is really good. "Okay."
"Jian Mo cooked the meat very carefully. There is no blood foam left. The broth is certainly delicious."
"Doctor Jian Mo, what else are you cooking?"
Jian Mo is making the sauce. Hearing this, he turned his head and said, "Bake the mushroom sauce and dip it in the meat for everyone to eat later. It will be more delicious."
After hearing this, everyone thanked him one after another.
He smiled and continued to cook the mushroom sauce.
He had already made the mushroom sauce once at home, and now he just added freshly collected grass leaves and spices to it.
These fresh spices will have a strong aroma and are used for seasoning, which can greatly stimulate people's taste buds.
As for why you have to boil it again instead of raw, that's because the spices are collected on the grassland. There are so many animals passing by, and they may be contaminated with parasites, so it is safer to heat it once.
Jian Mo quickly cooked the dipping sauce and put the big jar aside for everyone to scoop out.
In addition to the dipping sauce made from mushroom sauce, he also put the scallion oil aside and allowed everyone to add it themselves.
The meat with dipping sauce tastes much better than the meat without dipping sauce. Most people added dipping sauce and praised it profusely while eating:
"It's so delicious."
"I didn't expect that Kuari grass was put in the sauce like this. It tastes good when used as a dip for meat. I will also use it when eating stew at home."
"Actually, the meat of these kinds of prey today is not very delicious. I also saw a meat-winged bird today. If I have time tomorrow, I can eat some meat." When the winged bird comes back, the taste of the bird is amazing."
After dinner, everyone refused to let Jian Mo get involved and directly sent him to rest, while the others were responsible for cleaning up the camp.
There are so many quick-footed people here. After a little tidying up, the camp was cleared before it got dark.
After cleaning up, they lit a bonfire and rested in separate groups.
In addition, they also arranged for orcs to patrol outside to ensure safety at night.
Their manpower is not very sufficient, and they cannot set aside dedicated manpower to patrol overnight and rest during the day like in the tribe, so they have to take turns patrolling.
Wu Jiong also joined the patrol, but he patrolled until midnight. He will patrol all night today, and he will not be needed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Because they had patrol duties, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went to bed early.
Jiujiu slept next to them and soon began to snore.
In the middle of the night, Wu Jiong, who had turned into a giant wolf, was woken up by the person who handed him over. He moved slightly, hoping to let Jian Mo slide to the ground. He would later carry Jian Mo over to the animal skin mattress and let Jian Mo slide. Go back to sleep.
As soon as he moved, Jian Mo woke up, rubbed his neck with his face, yawned and asked: "Can I patrol with you?"
The giant wolf touched him lightly: "Okay, you stay here On my back, if I start running, you hold my neck tightly."
Jian Mo clamped the giant wolf's neck with his long legs, then circled it with his hands, and leaned his head on his neck: "I'll hold him tight now. "Yeah."
Julang: "Then I'll take you with me."
Now it's just patrolling, there isn't much danger. If there is danger, you can issue a warning and call out the sleeping orcs, so it doesn't matter if you patrol with your partner.
The person patrolling with Wu Jiong looked at Jian Mo on his back, said nothing, turned his back and went to patrol in another direction.
Wu Jiong was walking around the outside of the camp.
Patrolling was quite boring. Jian Mo stayed idle for a while. He opened his eyes and talked to the giant wolf: "Are you still hunting nearby today?"
The giant wolf said: "There are many wild beasts nearby. I can just go hunting for another day. I'm too lazy to run away."
Jian Mo : "So, we might go somewhere else tomorrow?"
The giant wolf nodded: "We might go further south tomorrow. If you feel sleepy, just sleep. You don't have to hold on to talk to me."
Jian Mo half-closed his eyes and leaned his weight on it. On him: "Actually, I'm not that sleepy. It's just quite comfortable and makes me sleepy."
After saying that, Jian Mo reached out and grabbed his ears and rubbed them gently: "As I talked, I I'm not sleepy anymore."
The giant wolf thought for a while: "Are you going to go out to pick mushrooms when it gets dark? I saw rotten mushrooms yesterday, and there should be new ones growing today."
Jian Mo felt refreshed and lost most of his sleep . : "That kind of mushroom you can eat?"
Giant Wolf: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't want to take you out."
Jian Mo immediately said: "Then I'll go!"
Giant Wolf: "I'll take you after I finish my patrol. Go, we can take a shower outside. Are you feeling uncomfortable because you didn't take a shower yesterday?"
Jian Moxiao: "It's not bad, but you were sweating yesterday, which was weird."
Julang: "We'll go out and take a shower later. Take a shower and come back."
Chapter 90 Collection
Jian Mo chatted with the giant wolf and slept on his back again.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn.
Jian Mo nuzzled him: "Why didn't you call me?"
Giant Wolf: "It's okay anyway, just sleep a little longer to avoid getting sleepy during the day."
Jian Mo yawned: "I shouldn't be sleepy after working. Have you finished patrolling? " ?"
Julang nodded: "It's been handed over." Jian Mo heard a
"ding" in his mind, rushed forward and hugged him, and said with bright eyes: "Then can we go pick mushrooms?
The wolf's voice was smiling: "You can still take a shower."
Jian Mo: "Let's go for a walk then. Let's hurry up."
They went to talk to Yun Luan and Qing Kuo, picked up toiletries, went out to pick mushrooms and Wash up.
It's not bright yet, the fields are gray, and there are a few morning stars hanging in the sky.
The temporary camp was quiet, most people didn't get up, and there was no smoke.
They have plenty of time for activities.
The giant wolf first took Jian Mo to pick mushrooms.
He had memorized the location yesterday and went straight to his destination today.
They were running all the way on the grassland. Some animals on the road were disturbed and ran away in fear.
The giant wolf didn't even look at the fleeing prey, and only led Jian Mo to the place where the mushrooms grew.
Jian Mo hugged his neck tightly and kept looking around. Before he reached the place where the mushrooms grew, Jian Mo spotted the mushrooms first.
"Oh my god, is that a mushroom under the tree? It's such a big mushroom!"
"Yes, it wasn't that big yesterday."
"That may be because it grew a little more at night. Such a big mushroom is actually not poisonous and has not been poisoned. Did other animals eat it?"
"Not yet?"
"Then let's go over and take a look!"
As he spoke, the giant wolf had already led Jian Mo to the mushroom.
Jian Mo couldn't wait to hold the giant wolf's front legs and slid down. He opened his hand and gestured: "Looking at it from such a close distance, the mushroom is bigger."
The mushroom grew on the edge of the tall trees and was taller than Jian Mo's waist. Thick, as high as his chest.
Perhaps because it just appeared yesterday, the umbrella cap of this mushroom has not been fully opened. The brown umbrella surface and white pleats make it look like a mushroom in a fairy tale.
He got closer and smelled it. The mushroom had a very authentic mushroom smell, slightly sweet and slightly hot, with a hint of plant fermentation.
Jian Mo looked back at Wu Jiong, who had returned to human form: "Are you sure this mushroom is really edible?"
Wu Jiong nodded: "It is very easy to recognize, and its name is the giant mushroom."
Jian Mo reached out and patted the umbrella cover. , after guessing that the spores inside had been patted down, he held the stipe and said, "I picked it."
Wu Jiong said, "Go ahead."
Jian Mo pulled out hard, and with a "pop" sound, the mushroom was pulled out. , a stronger mushroom flavor overflowed.
He looked down at the fleshy stubble and said, "Speaking of which, we also have a plant there that grows as fast as a mushroom, called bamboo shoots. It can grow to the height of a person in one night. The broken ends of bamboo shoots are also a bit like mushrooms. , white, with a bit of sweet smell."
Wu Jiong: "Let's look for it later and see if we can find it."
Jian Mo sighed: "I won't talk about it anymore. Let's see if there is anything else. "Mushroom?"
Wu Jiong: "No, I saw it yesterday, and there was a huge intact mushroom like this nearby."
Jian Mo carried the mushroom and looked around desperately, and found that there was no other mushroom, so he had to say. : "Then let's take a shower first, and then carry the giant mushroom back to the temporary camp for breakfast."
Wu Jiong transformed into his animal form and took Jian Mo to the bathing place.
They specially found a shallow river upstream. The giant wolf patrolled up and down, roared loudly to scare away potential enemies, and then took Jian Mo down.
The water in the morning was a bit cold, but compared to the sticky feeling, this coldness was nothing.
Jian Mo made soap and rubbed it from head to toe. The washing was very enjoyable.
While Wu Jiong was washing his hair, he looked around with his eyes.
Seeing his wary face, Jian Mo laughed and attacked his strong abdominal muscles with soapy hands, causing his breathing to become chaotic and his abdominal muscles to tighten subconsciously.
Jian Mo laughed.
Wu Jiong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes became dangerous.
Jian Mo quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "I was wrong. I have to rush back to the camp later. Don't mess around. It's too late."
It was indeed too late. Wu Jiong took a few deep breaths and helplessly covered his head with his big palm. : "Wash well."
Jian Mo: "Wash, wash, rinse immediately."
After saying that, Jian Mo rubbed it a few more times, then lay down in the water, and the running water took away the foam on his head and body.
When she got up again, Jian Mo suddenly saw some wild birds walking back and forth on the shore, looking very leisurely.
Different from ordinary birds, that bird has bare wings, like a human wearing a thick fur coat, with only a pair of arms akimbo walking, which looks very distinctive.
Jian Mo felt blessed and sat up in the water. He reached out and patted Wu Jiong's leg: "Look! There are a few birds over there. Are they the meat-winged birds you mentioned?"
Wu Jiong looked in the direction he pointed. In the past, he quickly gave a positive answer: "Yes."
Jian Mo: "Then we are very lucky to find food today. Do they run fast? Can they be caught?"
Wu Jiong: "They run very fast. But you can catch it, just wait for me."
Wu Jiong took a few steps to the side, turned into a giant wolf, and ran towards the shore.
He lowered his body and ran, and his huge figure was actually very light when he ran up. Only when he got very close did the flesh-winged bird notice him, flapping its wings and running around, "quacking".
This seemingly ordinary bird turns out to be extremely agile when scurrying.
The giant wolf was so big that it flew away.
Several meat-winged birds rushed towards the river. Jian Mo, who was standing in the river, jumped up and subconsciously fished out two meat-winged birds, one in each hand, and threw them into the river.
Jian Mo was stunned. His skills were so good today? !
The two flesh-winged birds flapped their wings desperately in his hands, but it was of no avail.
The giant wolf quickly grabbed the other two flesh-winged birds and said vaguely: "Good job."
Jian Mo grabbed the two flesh-winged birds tightly: "I didn't expect to catch them today, hurry up, hurry up , help me catch them, they keep pecking at me."
The giant wolf bit off the necks of two flesh-winged birds without hesitation, turned back into human form, and broke the necks of the other two flesh-winged birds.
It happened that they were right by the river, and they cleaned up the four meat-winged birds directly in the river.
After processing, they took another shower and then rushed back to the temporary camp.
They were very fast and didn't take much time in total. When they rushed back, the people in the camp had just started cooking.
Seeing them coming back with meat-winged birds and mushrooms, Qing Kuo shouted loudly: "Your harvest is good!"
Jian Mo smiled happily: "I am also lucky today. What to eat in the morning? I'll make meat-winged bird mushroom soup ?"
He was willing to take action, so everyone naturally had no objection and moved aside to wait for him to come over.
Jian Mo specially asked the people next to him to fill the two large pots. After the water boiled, he pulled off most of the firewood, put the cleaned meat-winged birds in the two large pots, and used the unboiled water to Soak slowly.
The meat-winged bird cooked using this white-cut method will be extra tender and smooth, and tastes better than the meat-winged bird cooked using the ordinary stew method.
Here they were making breakfast while the others were getting ready for the hunt.
Today's hunting requires more ropes, baskets, bags, etc. All kinds of shell knives, stone knives, and metal knives also need to be sharpened, and medicine powders, ointments, etc. need to be brought in case of emergencies.
Jian Mo quickly cooked the four meat-winged birds. He pierced the thickest thigh of the meat-winged birds with a knife and it was considered cooked if no blood came out.
He picked up the four flesh-winged birds, while Qing Kuo and others used fire-burned metal knives to chop the flesh-winged birds into pieces, and then placed them on the large leaves laid out for easy sharing later.
The two large pots of bird soup are still in the pot. Jian Mo asked someone to start the fire. When the bird soup boils again, pour down the sliced ââmushrooms and sprinkle some salt and pepper powder. The mushroom and bird soup is ready. .
Jian Mo invited everyone to have breakfast.
Others also brought up the meat stewed stems that they had made earlier. This morning, there were two dishes and one soup. There were not many varieties, but the amount was sufficient, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
Jiu Jiu also got a share, but compared to the cooked food, it had to eat more grass.
Jian Mo spread some of his own food for it, and Jiu Jiu was so happy that he kept nuzzling Jian Mo.
Others saw it and fed it one after another. It would nibble on anyone whose food it got. It was very eye-catching and made everyone laugh.
After breakfast, the orcs left some people to patrol the temporary station, while others went hunting.
The orcs were processing yesterday's pickled meat.
The meat has been marinated overnight. Under the influence of salt powder and spice powder, a lot of blood has oozed out. After the meat is dehydrated, the texture is very solid and heavy.
The orcs cut the meat into thinner strips with knives and put them on the grass to dry.
In strong sunlight, drying the meat for two days should be enough.
The orcs moved very quickly and finished processing the meat in a short time.
Everyone went out and didn't have lunch or make lunch, so there was a lot of free time left.
Seeing this situation, someone suggested: "How about we go out to collect? It's so hard to come to the Great Plains. It would be a waste not to go out to collect."
This was unanimously agreed by everyone: "Yes, we will draw lots to keep a few Just take care of it here personally, the orcs may not be able to transport the prey back so quickly."
The lottery was purely based on luck, and Jian Mo was lucky and got the chance to go out.
Qing Kuo and Ye Luo were also lucky, but he didn't mind if Min Dang had to stay in the temporary camp.
The sub-orcs wanted to go out, and the few orcs who stayed on patrol split up into two to go out with them, so as to ensure maximum safety.
After leaving the camp, everyone decided to walk along the river.
Generally speaking, plants near rivers will grow more densely and have more types. Collecting along the river can yield the greatest harvest.
Except for Jian Mo, everyone present was a sub-orc who was very experienced in collecting.
Their guess was good. There were indeed many nice plants along the river.
Jian Mo found several large-leaf garlics on the road. The new large-leaf garlics that grew this year were tender and green, and even had a much less bitter taste.
He was not polite and dug it out directly and put it in the basket on his back.
Everyone also found many fresh and tender wild vegetables, as well as spices such as broadleaf grass, and soon the harvest was full.
As we were walking, someone suddenly said, "Is there a green velvet insect flying in front of you?"
Upon hearing the name, many people came forward excitedly: "Where is it? Why didn't you see it?" The
one who just started to speak The person said: "There is a small black spot on the lower right side, by the river."
Jian Mo was confused when he heard this. He could neither see the green velvet worm, nor did he know what the insect was used for. Why were everyone so excited?
Everyone moved forward in a swarm, and he lagged behind.
Qing Kuo stretched out his hand and pulled him: "This way."
Jian Mo quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What is the use of green velvet worms? Why are everyone so excited?"
Qing Kuo showed a subtle smile: " It's useless, but their insect nests are quite useful for sub-orcs or orcs with partners."
Jian Mo understood and touched her nose.
Qing Kuo: "Even if you don't use it, you can get a good price by exchanging it for something."
The sub-orc in front has already found the green velvet insect: "Hey, it's still looking for food outside. When will it return to the insect nest?
"I don't know, you have to keep an eye on it, don't let it escape." "
This kind of bug is so small and flies so fast that it disappears in the blink of an eye."
Jian Mo still couldn't find it . That insect, but for what other sub-orcs said, he wondered: "Can we stick some down or something on the green velvet bug so that we can find it easier?"
The other sub-orcs thought for a while: "It seems possible! Doctor Jian Mo, you That's awesome."
Jian Mo waved his hand quickly: "That's a common method here."
The others didn't care about his modesty and quickly picked up the fluff.
It is a bit difficult to find down in the wild.
Everyone thought of something and turned around to look at the orcs following them.
The orcs were shocked: "No way? You want to pluck my hair?"
The sub-orcs said: "It's just two hairs, don't be so stingy!"
"If it doesn't work, I'll pluck two of your leg hairs and nothing else.
The orcs tried to struggle: "Why don't you look for Yazheng?" The
orc named "Yazheng" beside him said slowly: "I am a giant armored beast, and it is useless to pluck my leg hair." The orcs said
: "Quick, quick, quick ." , The green velvet insect is about to fly away."
The orc had to walk away dejectedly and change back into his beast form, using the hair on his two legs.
Jian Mo took a look and saw that the orc's shape was that of a red ferocious beast, and his leg hair was indeed long and velvety enough to be used.
