Chapter 330 The Shock of Knowledge
Roco pointed to the stone pot on the fire and said, "I see you are using the fire to boil water. I heard from Yingda that your tribe cooks food with boiled water."
Ji Nuan smiled: "This water is not for making food, but for cleaning the wounds of the injured beastmen."
As soon as Ji Nuan finished speaking, she felt the horrified gazes coming from all directions. Luo Ke stared at the boiling water on the fire with wide eyes, then turned to look at Ji Nuan: "Using this water to clean the wound, are you sure it won't make it worse?"
The water is emitting steam and looks very hot. Are you sure it won't burn off the orcs' skin?
Ji Nuan waved her hands and said, “We boiled the water because the water directly taken from the stream contains some unclean things and insects that are too small for us to see. Only by boiling the water with fire can we kill them. Otherwise, these insects will play tricks on the orcs’ wounds and prevent them from healing.”
"Little bug?"
Ji Nuan nodded, and while moving the firewood under the stone pot to cool the water in the pot, she imparted health knowledge to the beastmen: "Just like how we beastmen and females can get insect diseases, why is that?"
Looking at the bewildered faces of the beastmen around him, Ji Nuan said, “It’s because we’ve been eating raw meat and drinking beast blood.
In fact, animals also have infestations, but not as serious as ours. Insects reproduce in their bodies and lay eggs. After we hunt, eat raw meat and drink animal blood, these eggs enter our bodies and grow inside us. They continue to reproduce and become more and more numerous and larger, eventually causing infestations.
That is why I require the orcs in our tribe to cook their food with fire and boil their water with fire before drinking it."
The beastmen who were being educated about science for the first time were shocked to hear this, because they found that this was how the worms in their stomachs came from.
Ji Nuan stretched out her hand to test the water temperature: "Okay, the water temperature is just right, I'll help you clean the wound."
He turned to look at the beastmen who were still immersed in the knowledge of insect diseases and said, "If you have nothing to do, come and help. There are too many injured beastmen. I am afraid I can't handle it."
The beastmen quickly shook their heads in embarrassment and reached out to grab the cotton.
Ji Nuan quickly stopped them: "You must wash your hands first. Your hands are stained with blood and dirty things."
There is now a formula in the minds of the beastmen: unclean = bugs.
They hurriedly helped each other, washed their hands with the clean water in the stone pot, and then came over to help.
Except for two orcs whose leg bones were bitten off by hyenas, the other orcs only had minor injuries. Ji Nuan asked the orcs to clean their wounds and let them grow freely.
After reconnecting the broken leg bones of the two beastmen and fixing them with branches, he gave the same instructions: "Don't move around or use force before the bones grow back, or the legs will become crooked, and it will be very painful during the rainy and cold seasons."
The two beastmen nodded quickly to show that they would obey and not move rashly.
Luo Ke hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Master Witch Doctor, can their legs still grow back?"
Ji Nuan nodded and said, "Of course, they can still hunt after they grow back. It won't have any impact, provided they listen and rest well."
