Chapter 82: Foreign Witch Doctor

Jian Mo treasured the scallions he had obtained with great difficulty.

He saw that the scallions still had roots, so he found a day to plant them, hoping that they would take root and sprout in the riverside tribe soon.

After planting the scallions, he watered them twice, but the leaves had not grown much, but the bugs emerged.

These small black dot-like bugs firmly covered the back of the leaves, and even if the cubs guarded them in their fields every day, they could not do anything.

Jian Mo also cleaned them up several times himself, but the more he cleaned, the more there were.

Jian Mo was convinced, and said to Wu Jiong: "Now I understand why everyone is unwilling to plant. Planting these crappy crops will cause problems every day. It is better to collect them. If you can collect them, take them home. If you can't collect them, forget it. Anyway, you don't need to worry about it."

Wu Jiong pinched the back of his neck with his warm big hand and comforted him: "Let's think of a solution."

Jian Mo: "What solution can we think of? We can't just pick the bugs off the leaves one by one?"

Wu Jiong nodded: "There is really no other way, I will do it."

Bugs are annoying, but because Wu Jiong stood by him and was willing to do some practical actions to help, Jian Mo felt much better.

Jian Mo moved over and rubbed his head with his head: "I'll think about it."

On the way home, Jian Mo kept thinking of a solution.

When they met Qingkuang and Mindang, they saw that Jian Mo's face looked a little strange and stopped.

Qingkuang asked: "Did you have a fight?"

Jian Mo waved his hands: "Not really, why did we have a fight?"

Qingkuang laughed: "You scared me. If we didn't have a fight, why are you so sullen? Did something happen?"

Jian Mo sighed: "There is something wrong with the crops in the field. I don't know why, but when the weather gets warmer, the leaves start to have bugs."

So that's it. Qingkuang said nonchalantly: "The leaves in our field also have bugs. Just pinch off the leaves if they have any."

Jian Mo became even more depressed: "There are only a few leaves in total. If I pinch one today and one tomorrow, can the crops survive?" It's hard to say what the result will be

that day." Qingkuang: "If there is none, then there is none. If we can't grow anything, we can just go out and pick it. We will always have food."

Jian Mo waved his hand: "No, it's too bad that I didn't get any harvest after planting it once. I can't stand the grievance. I'll think of a way."

Qingkuang was happy: "Then if you come up with a solution, remember to tell us."

Jian Mo: "Don't worry, I will definitely not leave you behind."

After thinking for two days, Jian Mo saw the spring thunder eggs while sorting out the medicinal materials at home. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly remembered various pesticides.

In addition to the formal pesticides sold outside, they actually have folk pesticides.

Some poisonous plants can not only poison humans, but also animals such as insects.

Spring thunder eggs can make the skin rot directly when applied to it. I wonder if they can kill pests if used as pesticides?

Jian Mo took a few spring thunder eggs, smashed them with stones, soaked them in water, and then sprinkled them on the plants.

If spring thunder eggs can kill pests, the leaves will become clean in two days.

He only picked a few crops for the experiment, and the scope was very small.

The traditional pesticide made from spring thunder eggs was sprinkled, but no effect could be seen on the first day. There were still insects on the leaves of the crops. On the second day, the leaves looked a little cleaner, and on the third day, the pests were completely gone.

It seems that the poison of spring thunder eggs can indeed be used as a pesticide!

Jian Mo was delighted and observed the crops carefully.

Without pests, the leaves grew vigorously again, especially the newly grown leaf buds, which were fat and thick, and in very good condition.

Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong happily: "It really works."

Wu Jiong: "Let's dig more spring thunder eggs."

Jian Mo immediately said: "Take Qing Kuang and the others to dig together, so that everyone can use this pesticide to prevent pests from infecting each other."

Wu Jiong had no objection at all: "I think it's okay."

Jian Mo: "I'll go tell them now!"

Jian Mo ran to tell Qing Kuang and the others, and everyone was very interested, and agreed to go dig spring thunder eggs together.

Now is the season for spring thunder eggs to grow, and there are many spring thunder eggs outside. They searched for a few days and dug a lot of them back.

After digging the spring thunder eggs back, everyone immediately crushed them and diluted them with water to make a folk pesticide, and then used it in the fields.

With the use of pesticides, there are fewer insects in the fields of each family and the fields of the tribe, and the crops have also grown rapidly and are growing very well.

Perhaps the crops they grow are domesticated from wild plants. They are accustomed to various harsh growing environments. Now they are transplanted into the fields by humans. With sufficient water, fertilizer and sunlight, they seize the opportunity to grow desperately and grow very well.

Jian Mo looked at the crops in the field, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart was about to burst out.

The spring thunder eggs are poisonous, so Jian Mo specifically told the cubs to stay away for the time being.

After that, Jian Mo was worried, so he told the parents again, and asked Wu Jiong to tell the patrolling beastmen again.

Seeing that he attached so much importance to it, everyone also reminded the cubs.

The cubs knew the seriousness of the matter and agreed obediently.

Fortunately, the cubs had caught batches of animals that had caused trouble in the field before, and now the animals nearby had been basically caught, and they dared not go to the field to cause damage.

It didn't matter if they didn't go for the time being.

As the weather got warmer, the exchanges between tribes increased.

People from other tribes came to their tribe, and people from their tribe would also go to other tribes to exchange ideas.

That day, Qing Kuang and his companions came back from Mengshui Tribe and specially visited Jian Mo, saying, "A very powerful witch doctor has come to Mengshui Tribe and said he wants to communicate with you. Are you interested?" This

was the first time Jian Mo heard the term "witch doctor" in daily life, and he specifically confirmed it: "Is it the kind of witch doctor who can be a priest?"

Qing Kuang was a little surprised: "How can there be other witch doctors?"

Jian Mo quickly waved his hand: "No, I've never heard of witch doctors before, and I'm a little curious."

Qing Kuang nodded in understanding: "We do not have many witch doctors here, but that witch doctor is quite capable and looks good. If you are interested, let him come. If not, refuse." Jian

Mo thought for a moment and said, "I think it's okay. Let's go to Mengshui Tribe to find him?"

Jian Mo had not seen any witch doctors since he came here. Some people had some ancestral methods to deal with certain special diseases, but there was no medical system.

He did not know what the witch doctors were like. It would be great if he could learn a little.

After hearing what he said, Qing Kuang said, "I will ask someone to send a message tomorrow to ask the witch doctor to come to our place."

Jian Mo hesitated, "Is it safe to ask the witch doctor to come to the tribe? There are so many kids in the tribe--"

Jian Mo had never seen a proper witch doctor, but the word "witch" in the word witch doctor made him a little awed. Even the time travel had already happened, and he was really a little afraid of these gods and ghosts.

Seeing the expression on his face, Qing Kuang smiled and said, "The witch doctor is also a human being, don't be nervous. If there is anything, let the chief take a claw and there will be no trouble."

Jian Mo smiled embarrassedly, "It's mainly because I haven't seen it before."

After the Riverside Tribe sent someone to pass the message, the witch doctor came in a hurry the next day.

This is an old orc with wrinkles all over his face, but he looks very energetic and has a kind expression.

Witch doctors are usually sub-orcs, and orc witch doctors are a bit strange, but the orc world is so big, if some tribes like to let orcs be witch doctors, it's nothing special.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong entertained this witch doctor at home.

As soon as the witch doctor Lian Ke saw Jian Mo, he excitedly said, "I've heard of you a long time ago, and today I finally meet you."

He seemed to be an outgoing witch doctor, and Jian Mo smiled, "Hello, welcome to our Riverside Tribe."

Lian Ke nodded and asked impatiently, "Doctor Jian Mo, I heard that you only use herbs and knives to treat diseases, and you don't use witchcraft

very much?" Jian Mo wondered what witchcraft was, but nodded, "Indeed, I rarely use it."

Lian Ke: "If you don't use witchcraft, then what do you use to treat diseases?"

"Just use ordinary medicinal herbs." Jian Mo changed the subject, "We have relatively few things related to magic power here. Do you have many over there?"

Lian Ke brought the large backpack on his side to the front of him: "A lot, I specially collected a lot of things rich in magic power for this trip, look--"

Lian Ke said, taking out various bones, insects, tree barks and animal teeth, and placed them on the ground in a mess, proudly showing them to Jian Mo.

Combined with the black seams of his nails, Jian Mo almost got goosebumps: "Is this really useful?"

Lian Ke frowned: "How can it not be useful? Look at this fang, if your teeth hurt, wear this fang soaked in medicine, and it will be healed in a few days."

Jian Mo looked at it doubtfully: "Can I take a closer look?"

With the physical constitution of people in this world, if it is a minor problem like gingivitis, it will recover quickly by itself, and it may really have nothing to do with the fang.

But it's hard to say, after all, he has never been in contact with a witch doctor before.

Lian Ke waved his hand generously: "Go ahead and take a look."

Jian Mo picked up the fang and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see any mystery.

Lian Ke introduced Jian Mo to several special medicinal herbs that could cure diseases. These herbs were either worn on the body or burned into ashes and drunk.

Jian Mo suspected that this was the orc world's Zhuyou technique, which was a kind of psychotherapy, mainly to give positive suggestions to the patient and rely on the patient to heal himself.

When they were in college, although there were overlapping courses in veterinary medicine and human medicine, Zhuyou technique was not included. He had never been exposed to this when he was a pet doctor.

Now that he thought about it, it seemed to be possible.

Psychotherapy was quite powerful to a certain extent. He might be able to introduce it into his own treatment system to solve problems that could not be solved for the time being and relieve the patient's pain.

After introducing the things on hand, Lian Ke asked Jian Mo expectantly: "Doctor Jian Mo, do you have any special medicinal herbs here?"

Jian Mo really did, so he moved out various jars and pots filled with medicinal herbs from upstairs, ranging from internal medicines for clearing away heat and detoxifying to external medicines for reducing swelling and relieving pain, there were all kinds of medicines, and there were also several prescriptions specifically for treating abscesses, trauma, etc.

Lian Ke looked at his herbs and sighed, "I've heard of similar prescriptions, but I didn't expect you have them here. When applying these herbs to the affected area, do you want to wrap them with cloth?"

Jian Mo nodded, "They have to be wrapped and fixed on the outside of the wound. "

Lian Ke was a little proud, "I can mix the liquid medicine into the ointment, and then stick it on the wound, and it will stick firmly without cloth."

Jian Mo was surprised, "Ointment?"

Lian Ke took out a jar of black ointment from the bag and showed it to Jian Mo, "This is the ointment."

As he said that, he turned out a piece of wood, scooped out a lump of ointment, and applied it directly to the skin. The ointment solidified on the skin and soon turned into something like animal skin, firmly sticking to the skin.

Jian Mo's eyes widened. Isn't this similar to the dog-skin plaster on Earth?

Jian Mo did know about traditional plasters and even tried to make them.

However, traditional plasters require mineral herbs such as cinnabar. He searched for them for a while but couldn't find them, so he had to give up the idea. He

didn't expect that this witch doctor actually had similar materials.

Jian Mo's voice suppressed his excitement: "Witch Doctor Lian Ke, can I see the ointment in your hand?"

Lian Ke generously stuffed the jar into his hand: "Go ahead, this is my unique prescription. Since I created it, I have treated countless patients."

Jian Mo took it in his hand and examined it carefully. The ointment was like asphalt, and it exuded a medicinal smell. He couldn't tell what it was, but it was indeed very sticky, and it was still sticky after it dried.

Jian Mo was tempted: "Can we exchange the recipe for this ointment?"

Lian Ke refused without thinking: "No. If you want to exchange, I can exchange your recipe with animal teeth, insects, etc. Your recipe for treating abscesses seems to be very useful."

Jian Mo: "That is also my unique recipe, which I will not exchange easily."

Lian Ke: "Oh my, I can smell it, there are spring thunder eggs in it, right? Spring thunder eggs can indeed treat abscesses, but the effect is a bit overbearing, not as gentle as your recipe."

This old man was actually quite knowledgeable, but Jian Mo still refused: "I just want your ointment. Other animal teeth, bugs, and the like are not in the same system as me, so they are of no use to me."

Lian Ke admitted this: "When I heard about you before, I thought you were quite special. I didn't expect that you would be even more special than I thought."

To be honest, Jian Mo also felt that his eyes had been opened when he met Lian Ke: "You also brought me a lot of inspiration."

Lian Ke: "Of course, these herbs of mine are still very useful."

It seemed that there was no need to talk for the time being, so Jian Mo smiled and invited Lian Ke: "Why don't you stay in our tribe for two days, and we can communicate slowly. We can talk about the ointment and prescription in two days."

Lian Ke agreed: "Okay."
