Chapter 102 Twins
Jian Mo's tofu was well received by everyone, and everyone began to pay attention to beans.
However, as they said, beans come from wild plants, and the yield is not very high.
They picked beans from several nearby mountains, but only more than 20 baskets. After peeling the bean pods and taking only the beans inside, there were only six baskets.
Jian Mo taught everyone how to make tofu, and the tribe gave him three baskets of beans.
He felt bad and said to Qingkuang, "Is it too much?"
Qingkuang: "The tribe agreed after discussion. There are only three baskets, and I think it's too little. But there are only so many beans outside. We have to wait for the next batch, which will probably take another 20 to 30 days. We can only talk about it when the time comes."
Jian Mo: "It seems
that the beans are growing very slowly." Qingkuang: "Plants with particularly large fruits grow slowly."
After Qingkuang sent the beans over, he went back.
Jian Mo pinched them and took them to the sun to dry. He planned to store them after drying them, and then steam or soak them when needed.
He also wanted to make some soy sauce, soybean paste, etc., but unfortunately he had never been exposed to related sauces before, and didn't know how to make them for a while.
He remembered that other people made soy sauce in autumn and winter. He was afraid that it would go bad in such a hot day, so he planned to try again after the weather cooled down.
Soy sauce could not be made for the time being, but their fish sauce was OK.
Jian Mo would sometimes open the jar to dry it, and then stir it to allow the fish meat inside to ferment fully.
After this period of high-salt fermentation, some fish meat has emerged. The color is a bit like light soy sauce, and there is no strange smell. It is estimated that it should be fermented well next year. After
Jian Mo dried the beans, he went to the river to collect the fish cages.
Their fish cages have been placed in the river, and they are collected about every two or three days, and there is usually a harvest.
If it is a big fish, Jian Mo will cook it normally. If it is a small fish, he will usually handle it. After cooking and washing the pot, he will spread the fish evenly in the pot and use the residual heat from the stove to dry the fish and shrimp.
In the morning, the sun had just come out.
Jian Mo walked home along the river and saw a large group of cubs fishing by the river from a distance.
Jian Mo taught them how to fish. He used a modified version of the Qinhai tribe fishing rod with a feather float.
Compared to catching fish in the river, fishing relies more on luck and is easier. The cubs like to play fishing these days.
Jian Mo looked at the cubs, mainly at Jiujiu who was squatting behind them.
Jiujiu folded its wings and squatted behind them. From a distance, it looked like a big triangular rice dumpling, but it was furry. When
I got closer, I saw that it was eagerly waiting for the fish to eat, just like a puppy.
Before Jian Mo came closer, it heard the noise first, turned around and saw that it was Jian Mo, and happily said: "Chiu--"
Now all the cubs turned their heads.
Jian Mo asked with a smile: "Did you fish well?"
The cubs all nodded seriously with stern faces, and their mouths were tightly closed.
Jiang Xing said in a low and serious voice: "Brother Jian Mo, don't talk to Chiu Chiu, be careful not to scare the fish away."
Jian Mo was happy and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go."
Chiu Chiu looked at Jian Mo, then at the cubs who were fishing, moved a step, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally continued to follow the cubs - he couldn't bear to leave the fish caught by the cubs.
Jian Mo was happy while going home to make breakfast.
Wu Jiong went out on patrol last night and hadn't handed over his shift yet, so the meal could be cooked later, but it had to be richer so he could catch up on his sleep after eating.
Jian Mo hummed a song while cooking slowly. The flames under the stove were burning fiercely. The meat slices in the pot were stir-fried over a high fire, quickly curling up and emitting the unique aroma of fried meat.
He poured fruit wine into it, and as the steam rose, the aroma became stronger.
Just as the spatula and the pot collided, someone outside shouted: "Doctor Jian Mo--"
Hearing this name, Jian Mo was a little surprised. Only people from other tribes would call him Doctor Jian Mo.
He scooped some water from the water tank next to him and poured it into the pot, letting the dishes bubbling: "Here they come--"
Jian Mo walked out to see, and found that the person who came was Pengxi from the Tianning tribe, who was particularly good at making pottery.
Poncey rode the skinny winged beast and landed at their doorstep: "Doctor Jian Mo--"
Jian Mo: "Why are you here? Come in."
When the skinny winged beast saw Jian Mo, it flapped its wings excitedly.
Jian Mo walked over and pulled the reins of the winged beast to let Pengxi down: "What's the matter?"
Pengxi slid down the body of the winged beast: "Our tribe heard the news that you cured the chief of the Qinhai tribe, and we also heard that you are helping a pregnant beastman recently-"
Jian Mo: "Almost. Is there a pregnant beastman in your tribe?"
Pengxi: "Yes! Shanyan from our tribe is the pregnant beastman. He is about to give birth. His partner is an orc from the Xiongying tribe. The fetuses of the Xiongying tribe are relatively large. Our tribe is worried that the fetus in his belly will take the shape of the beasts of the Xiongying tribe and it will be difficult to give birth, so we would like to ask you to go over and take a look-"
Pengxi looked really nervous, and he spoke a lot of things as soon as he opened his mouth.
Jian Mo recalled that the beasts of the Xiongying tribe were somewhat similar to unicorns, and looked like strong horses with muscular bodies, especially huge ones, and with long and sharp horns.
If a person were to give birth to a foal, it would definitely be more difficult.
This would be the case even if the fetus was relatively small.
Jian Mo became serious: "Has the water broken?"
Peng Xi: "Not yet, but my father and the others said that the baby is about to be born."
Jian Mo: "You sit down for a while, I'll go tell Wu Jiong, and we'll be there right away."
Peng Xi said nervously: "Okay, okay."
Jian Mo patted his shoulder, hurried into the kitchen to serve the dishes, and poured water into the pot to prevent them from burning dry.
Before he hurried out, the skinny flying beast Dara in the yard saw Jian Mo coming out and flapped his wings again, looking at Jian Mo expectantly with his big eyes: "Chirp."
Jian Mo looked at the guy's expression, slapped his forehead, went back to the kitchen, brought out a bucket of bean dregs, and then brought a basin of minced meat soup, calling Pengxi: "Pengxi, feed your Dara first, let it eat first? You have to let it carry you back later."
Pengxi came out immediately: "You also prepared food for our Dara? That's great."
Jian Mo explained: "This was originally prepared for Jiujiu, give Dara a portion first."
As he spoke, Jian Mo poured the minced meat soup into the bean dregs and mixed them evenly, and got a bowl of fragrant minced meat soup mixed with bean dregs.
The aroma of the soup, the aroma of the minced meat and the aroma of the bean dregs mixed together and mixed into a bean dregs paste that looked delicious.
Pengxi came out to take a look and swallowed his saliva involuntarily.
Dara was so excited that he flapped his wings: "Chiu Chiu!"
Jian Mo patted it gently: "You stay here first, I'll go find Wu Jiong and bring Chiu Chiu back by the way."
Peng Xi: "Okay!"
Jian Mo hurried out the door, Peng Xi watched his back as he left, and quickly pushed Dara's head and negotiated with it: "Okay Dara, let me have a taste first."
Dara tilted his head: "Chiu?"
Peng Xi stretched out his hand and pinched a small ball of bean dregs mud, held the ball in his hand, and took a bite: "It smells so good."
Dara looked at him and generously made way.
Peng Xi looked at the food in the bowl and said reluctantly: "I'll just have a taste, you can eat the rest."
Speaking of which, the food at Doctor Jian Mo's house is really clean and delicious. The flying winged beast named "Chiu Chiu" is so lucky!
Seeing that Pengxi didn't want to eat anymore, Dara made another "chirp" sound, and was so excited that he buried his head in the rice bowl: "chirp, chirp!"
After eating the minced meat soup with bean dregs in big mouthfuls, Dara licked the bottom of the bowl again with care.
When Jiujiu came back, he saw Dara licking the bean dregs, and immediately jumped up and turned to Jian Mo: "Chirp, chirp--"
Jian Mo reached out and patted its butt: "Okay, don't be so stingy, we are going on a long trip later, Dara has to eat a lot to have strength."
Jiujiu was not happy: "Chirp, chirp!"
Jian Mo: "Your meal is still in the kitchen, you are not missing any, I prepared a big piece of meat for you today."
Jiujiu: "Chirp, chirp!"
Seeing that Jiujiu was really angry, Jian Mo hurriedly brought out the minced meat soup with bean dregs that he had prepared for it, and also brought out a bowl of braised beast meat.
When Jiujiu saw the newly brought out food, it finally calmed down a bit: "Jiujiu."
Jian Mo glanced at it: "Are you happy?"
Jiujiu said "Jiujiu!" and ate its meal happily.
Dara, who was watching from a distance, was extremely jealous and turned to look at his owner Pengxi.
Pengxi looked at Jiujiu's meal with envy, and his envy was stronger than Dara's.
Jian Mo invited Pengxi to come in for breakfast: "Wu Jiong is arranging things in the tribe. After breakfast, we can take the medicine and surgical instruments and set off. Let Jiujiu and the others go faster so that too much is not delayed." Pengxi
nodded repeatedly.
After breakfast, Jian Mo counted the medicines and instruments that might be used, met up with Wu Jiong who had returned, and prepared to go to the Tianning tribe.
Pengxi rode Dara in front, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong rode Jiujiu behind, and flew all the way to Tianning Tribe.
In a hurry today, the two winged beasts flew very fast.
Jian Mo was a little worried that Jiujiu would be tired, but later he found that Jiujiu was carrying him and Wu Jiong and was able to keep up with them the whole way, and even had some spare energy, so he relaxed a little.
Jiujiu is a strong and powerful Jiu.
With the efforts of the two winged beasts, Jian Mo and his friends successfully arrived at Tianning Tribe before the sun went down in the afternoon.
Seeing them come back, Pengxi's father Huanyu brought people to greet them.
Jian Mo recognized them, and asked as soon as he saw them: "Is Shanyan born?"
Huanyu replied: "Not yet, I'm waiting."
Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and then he had the mind to pay attention to other things.
They were all tribes from the same area. The Tianning tribe was a bit similar to the Mengshui tribe. There were decorative lines on the windows of the buildings, and the stone houses looked very neat.
Jian Mo could even feel the prosperity blowing over him as he walked among them.
The chief of the Tianning tribe was Huan Yu's partner and Peng Xi's father, a beastman who looked a bit serious.
After the parties greeted each other, Huan Yu wanted to take Jian Mo and the others to rest and have dinner.
Jian Mo declined politely, "Let's talk about dinner later. I want to go see Shan Yan first. We don't need to feed the flying beast we brought. Let it rest for a while, and we can cook for ourselves later."
Peng Xi said from the side, "You are too polite. We should help feed it."
Jian Mo waved his hand to indicate that it was really not necessary, and then asked, "Where is Shan Yan's home? Is he home now?"
Huan Yu said, "I'll take you there."
After Jian settled Jiujiu, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong followed the people of Tianning tribe to see the pregnant man.
Shan Yan was waiting for them at home.
This Asian beastman was tall and thin, handsome, and gentle, but his belly was bulging and he looked a little tired.
His partner Ba Tong accompanied him every step of the way, with sharp eyes and worry between his brows.
Jian Mo's reputation had spread, and the two of them trusted him. After greeting each other, they cooperated with Jian Mo's inquiries and examinations.
Ba Tong said to Jian Mo worriedly: "The fetuses of our Xiongying tribe are larger than those of other tribes, but not to this extent. I suspect that Shan Yan is pregnant with twins."
Jian Mo looked at Shan Yan, then at the others: "Then check one. Please let the others go out first."
Wu Jiong, as an orc, nodded to Jian Mo and took the lead to walk out.
The others hurried to follow.
Jian Mo listened carefully to Shan Yan's belly with a stethoscope, and indeed heard three heartbeats - Shan Yan and the two fetuses.
The heartbeats of two of the fetuses overlapped, which means Jian Mo is now turning into an orc. His hearing is sharp enough.
After confirming this, Jian Mo nodded with a heavy heart.
Giving birth to twins in this era is not an easy thing. If you are not careful, both Shan Yan and the fetus will have problems, and premature birth will be even worse.
Ba Tong also knows how difficult it is to have twins. Seeing Jian Mo nod, he couldn't help but hug Shan Yan's shoulders.
Shanyan was a little more relaxed and comforted them, "It's not necessarily difficult to give birth to twins. Both our tribe and the Xiongying tribe have beastmen who gave birth to twins. It's not a big problem."
Batong replied softly, "Yeah."
Jian Mo said seriously, "I will do my best to help you."
Shanyan was already having secretions and it looked like she was about to give birth.
Jian Mo asked for a large amount of boiled water and asked experienced beastmen to come and help.
After everything was arranged, Jian Mo returned to his temporary residence.
Wu Jiong had already prepared the meal and fed Jiujiu. After
Jian Mo finished his meal, he took the time to fall asleep, intending to be alert and alert to deal with emergencies at any time.
Their premonition was very accurate. In the middle of the night, Batong and his neighbor knocked on the door in the dark and said that Shanyan was about to give birth and asked Jian Mo to come over.
Jian Mo opened his eyes when he heard the voice and sat up from the bed.
Wu Jiong patted his back with one hand and handed him his clothes with the other hand: "I'll go out and take a look first, and I'll go with you later."
Jian Mo nodded and quickly put on his clothes.
The medical equipment and medicines were ready. Jian Mo picked up the medical box and went out with Wu Jiong.
When they arrived at Shanyan's house, Shanyan's water had indeed broken and she was trying hard to give birth.
Jian Mo had a lot of experience in delivering common pets such as cats and dogs, but had never delivered a beastman.
Now calm, Jian Mo and the beastman who came to help checked on Shanyan's condition.
Shan Yan was giving birth for the first time and cried out in pain.
Ba Tong walked around outside the house and finally couldn't help but change back into beast form and ran outside.
Giving birth takes a certain amount of time, and the doctor who delivered the baby couldn't do anything.
Jian Mo and the beastman who came to help could only check on Shan Yan's condition and encourage him.
"No." Shan Yan grabbed the beast skin in pain and said, "I can't give birth!!!"
The helping beastman panicked and looked at Jian Mo: "What should we do? Let Shan Yan stand up and walk? Let's lift Shan Yan up together--"
Jian Mo hurriedly stopped him: "Will standing up and walking help?"
The beastman was unsure: "Yes? In the past, if someone couldn't give birth, they would try to stand up and walk first. If they really couldn't give birth, then take the fetus out."
If the beastman stretched out his claws to take the fetus out, the fetus would not be able to survive.
Shan Yan had already lost consciousness, but when he heard the key words, he murmured, "No, don't take it out. I can try again."
After checking his condition, Jian Mo made a prompt decision, "No, the fetus has been stuck for too long. It's a risk for both of you. How about I try the obstetric forceps?"
Jian Mo brought several obstetric forceps this time, all of which had been disinfected.
Shanyan asked in pain and worry, "Will it hurt the cub?"
Jian Mo made a judgment, "It's rare to hurt the cub, and using the forceps is less risky than giving birth now."
Shanyan understood, and Batong outside also heard it, and shouted hoarsely, "Doctor Jian Mo, you must ensure Shanyan's safety first." Shanyan
grabbed Jian Mo's hand, "No, save the cub, I can still hold on."
Jian Mo glanced at Shanyan and said, "I'll try first." Jian
Mo had just seen that the cub Shanyan was carrying was in animal form, looking a bit like a meerkat, not a pony.
Although Shanyan was in human form, Jian Mo was too familiar with the meerkat-like shape.
He had delivered many kittens and puppies, and the meerkat-like fetus made him feel much more at ease.
Jian Mo looked at the shape of the forceps and carefully inserted it into Shan Yan's body. After careful inspection, he gently clamped the head of one of the fetuses.
Shan Yan was pregnant with twins, and the two fetuses were stuck very tightly in the birth canal.
Jian Mo could only use the forceps to patiently and carefully turn the fetuses, gently adjusting the direction.
Shan Yan's face was distorted with pain, and his hands tightly grasped the beast skin. The orc who came to help hurriedly pressed him down.
Jian Mo's hands were very steady when he started delivering the baby, much more steady than his usual state, and he was also very calm.
"Don't be afraid." Jian Mo comforted softly, "I have already grasped the cubs, just turn the direction and it will be fine."
Shan Yan could no longer hear clearly because of the pain.
The orcs who came to help were also a little scared, and they kept looking at Jian Mo worriedly.
Soon, Jian Mo adjusted the direction: "Come on, take a deep breath, it's okay, take another deep breath."
Shan Yan took a long time to react, and then listened to Jian Mo's command to breathe, and her body was slightly more relaxed than before.
From this point of view, delivering a baby for an orc is still more advantageous than delivering a baby for an animal, as animals will not actively cooperate.
After Shan Yan relaxed again, Jian Mo seized the opportunity and used the forceps to drag the fetus forward, and then the fetus was delivered with the strength of Jian Mo and Shan Yan.
The meerkat-like cub curled up with its eyes tightly closed and its fur wet.
Jian Mo quickly picked up the cub with his gloved hands, and then felt the warm breath of the cub.
Jian Mo: "One has been born, and there is one left!"
Shan Yan opened his eyes and took a look, tears streaming down his eyes.
The orc who came to help also took a look at the little meerkat's butt, gently pulled the cub's tail to check, and said: "It's a little orc."
Shan Yan's tears flowed again.
Ba Tong asked in a hoarse voice outside the house: "How is Shan Yan? Is Shan Yan okay?"
The orc: "Still giving birth!"
Jian Mo checked the condition of the little meerkat, cut the umbilical cord and wrapped it up neatly, and then looked at Shan Yan: "There is one cub left. Come, take a deep breath again according to my command. You should be able to give birth to this cub by yourself."
Shan Yan was a little more energetic, and endured the pain and breathed according to Jian Mo's command.
After giving birth to one of the twins, the other one did go more smoothly.
Before dawn, Shan Yan gave birth to the remaining cub.
The helper confirmed that it was also a little beastman.
Jian Mo dealt with the situation of the cubs, asked the helpers of the beastmen to look after the two newborn cubs, and then helped Shan Yan deal with the rest of the matters.
Shan Yan also had to deliver the placenta and other things.
Jian Mo was busy until dawn, and finally finished the preliminary matters of the father and his two sons.
After Shan Yan gave birth, she didn't even bother to look at the two cubs, and fell into a deep sleep. After
Jian Mo finished Shan Yan's affairs, he went to see the two newborn cubs.
The two cubs' beast shapes were the same as Shan Yan's, and they did look like little meerkats, but their fur was longer than that of little meerkats.
Their tails were very big, tightly clamped between their hind legs, and attached to their little bellies, looking extremely cute.
Especially when they opened their gray-blue eyes, their eyes rolled around, and they didn't cry or make a fuss, and they looked very worry-free.
Jian Mo thinks that such a well-behaved baby is even cuter than before.
