Chapter 109 Neighbors
Renovating and adding to the house requires a lot of raw materials, and it is too slow to collect them by yourself.
Jian Mo has been treating people for a while, and all the materials he collected have been replaced by building materials.
Wood for beams, stones for building houses, hardwood for burning charcoal, and limestone for burning lime are all within the collection range of the two.
In addition to collecting from outside, Jian Mo and his friends will carry suitable materials home if they see them when they go out.
If it is not convenient, they will go out again.
The people in the tribe will help them when they see that they are working hard to collect materials.
Today one person will send a little, and tomorrow another person will send a little. Soon, they have a pile of materials behind their house.
Except for the beams that need to be carefully stored in the cave, everything else can be piled up in the open air.
Jian Mo looked at the increasing pile of building materials, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
After collecting for a while, when the weather is drier in the fall, they can start renovating the house.
On this day, Jian Mo did not go out to collect, but was treating a beastman's dentistry in the clinic.
Tooth wear is a common problem. When this beastman was biting a hard nut, half of his tooth was accidentally broken off, revealing the bloody root inside.
Jian Mo helped him to deal with it, but there was really no other way, so he had to give him water soaked with anesthetic and help him pull out the tooth.
If this tooth is not pulled out, it may become infected and inflamed later.
There are no conditions for root canal treatment in the local area, so for safety reasons, it can only be pulled out, which is also a helpless method.
Jian Mo extracted the tooth very seriously. After he finished treating the beastman, he looked up and saw a row of bears outside the window.
He was shocked and took two seconds to realize that these giant bears that looked like polar bears were from the Qinhai tribe.
He simply told the beastman's partner who was treating the tooth a few words and asked him to watch over the unconscious beastman. Then he took off his gloves and mask and went out to meet the group of giant bears.
The giant bears all greeted him: "Doctor Jian Mo."
Shu Guang, the chief of the Qinhai tribe, said in a rough voice in beast form: "Doctor Jian Mo, I'm here to check with you."
Jian Mo: "I guessed it. Let's watch outside. The light outside is better. Let me take a look at your belly first."
The giant bear Shu Guang then lay down, revealing his fat belly: "It has completely healed. It doesn't hurt or itch now, and it doesn't feel anything special to touch."
Jian Mo said attentively: "Let me take a look first."
Shu Guang's belly was indeed healed well. There was a layer of newly grown white fur on it, which was quite soft and thick.
Look at the wound from the previous stitches.
The scars of the wound have faded a lot. Because of the fur, it is not even easy to see that there has been stitches here with the naked eye.
Jian Mo was very happy for him, and was proud of his own skills: "It healed well."
Giant Bear Shu Guang said angrily: "Really? Thanks to you."
Jian Mo: "Thanks to your cooperation. Have you felt any discomfort recently, such as pain when your stomach is pulled, or bloating after eating?"
Giant Bear Shu Guang shook his big head, indicating that he didn't have any.
Jian Mo: "What about going to the toilet? Are you constipated?"
Giant Bear Shu Guang still shook his head.
Jian Mo felt relieved again: "Are you having difficulty in exhaling? Any hiccups or belching?"
Giant Bear Shu Guang: "No, I feel exactly the same as before I was injured. Now I don't even feel uncomfortable when I run."
Jian Mo used a stethoscope to listen to him, and then announced: "It has almost healed, and there are no sequelae such as intestinal adhesions as I imagined. Just take good care of yourself and don't do too much strenuous exercise."
The giant bear Shu Guang didn't understand what kind of disease this was, but he understood that he was fine: "Thank you so much!"
Jian Mo: "It's my duty to treat illnesses and save lives."
The orcs in the clinic were not awake yet. Jian Mo put away the stethoscope and asked the giant bears how the Qinhai tribe was doing recently, and whether there were any special nuts or plants.
The giant bears said no, there was nothing special in their tribe.
Jian Mo asked around and reminded them to be careful about what they ate, especially to protect their teeth.
A giant bear behind Shu Guang asked curiously, "Doctor Jian Mo, why are you suddenly telling me this? Could it be that the patient you are treating now has a problem with his teeth?"
Jian Mo motioned for him to speak in a lower voice, "Yes, a piece of the tooth accidentally broke off."
The giant bears: "Then how do you treat it?"
Jian Mo: "Pull out the whole tooth at once, otherwise the damage will become more and more severe, and even threaten the nearby teeth."
The giant bears obviously knew the pain of tooth extraction, and they all frowned with expressions of toothache.
Shu Guang asked: "Is there any way to avoid extracting the tooth?"
Jian Mo: "Not yet. If you don't extract the tooth, you have to repair it. You have to find suitable materials and glue. There is no such thing here. The only thing you can do is extract the tooth."
Shu Guang: "If you want to talk about glue, it seems that Linyan Tribe has suitable glue."
Jian Mo didn't expect to hear such an answer. He looked at Shu Guang in surprise: "Linyan Tribe? Is it the tribe under our tribe?"
Shu Guang: "Yes, when I was young, I went to visit their tribe with people from our tribe. I heard that they have a kind of A glue that sticks things very firmly. "
Jian Mo couldn't help asking, "How firmly?"
Shu Guang thought for a moment and said, "I heard that they use that glue to stick the axe to a wooden stick. When the glue dries, the axe can be used normally."
Jian Mo took a breath and said, "Is it true? That's too exaggerated."
Shu Guang said, "It should be true. They may have strange tempers, but they are not liars."
The giant bears of the Qinhai tribe did not stay in the riverside tribe for too long. After Shu Guang finished his review, they put down the wood and stones they brought to Jian Mo and went back.
Not long after, the Asian beastman in the clinic also woke up.
The old beastman was not used to having his teeth pulled out, so Jian Mo gave him some instructions, asking him to be careful not to lick them, not to put food in his mouth while eating, and to be sure not to induce dry socket, which is superficial osteomyelitis or osteomyelitis.
Jian Mo gave the instructions very seriously, and he also spoke of the consequences in a serious manner, which gave the couple goosebumps.
The two repeatedly promised that they would take good care of the teeth and would never mess around, so Jian Mo gave them some herbs for clearing away heat and detoxification, and let them go.
In the evening, Wu Jiong came back, and the two talked about what happened today while having dinner.
Jian Mo briefly talked about the beastman who had his teeth pulled out and Shu Guang who had a follow-up examination, and then mentioned the glue that Shu Guang mentioned.
Jian Mo: "Does the Linyan tribe really have a particularly strong glue?"
Wu Jiong nodded: "Yes, I heard that it can even be used to glue stones, but their tribe doesn't like to deal with other tribes, and we haven't really seen it."
Jian Mo: "What kind of glue is that? It sounds a bit like our lime, cement, etc."
Wu Jiong: "It should be stronger than our lime and cement."
Jian Mo felt itchy: "It sounds very useful, can we exchange some with them? Anyway, it's the neighboring tribe."
The Linyan tribe is below their tribe, although the Linyan tribe itself lives a little below the territory and doesn't deal with them much.
But if they ride over there, it shouldn't take long.
Wu Jiong didn't mind accompanying him: "I'll tell the people in the tribe and we'll go tomorrow."
Jian Mo agreed immediately: "Okay! I'll pack some things for exchange."
Wu Jiong: "Bring more metal or food, they may be more interested in this."
Jian Mo: "No problem, these two things are easy to carry on the road."
The two of them discussed briefly, packed up the things they would take the next day, and went to bed early.
After breakfast the next day, Jian Mo took Jiujiu out and put a bridle on it.
For close-range flying, Jian Mo was usually too lazy to put a bridle on Jiujiu. He would sit on its back, hold it tightly, and just deal with it for a few times to reach the destination.
Jian Mo would only use the bridle seriously when going to far places.
As soon as Jiujiu saw Jian Mo coming out with the reins, he knew he would have to stay outside for a long time today, and he jumped up excitedly: "Jiujiu!"
Jian Mo quickly pulled his wings: "Don't get excited, you're about to step on my feet."
Jiujiu jumped back and stretched his head to rub Jian Mo: "Jiujiu!"
Jian Mo patted his butt: "Okay, we'll set off soon, save your energy."
Jiujiu raised his head and chest, indicating that there was no need to save energy, he was very strong: "Jiujiu!"
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong only brought the backpack, and rode Jiujiu to the south of the tribe.
Wu Jiong roughly knew where the Linyan tribe was, but he had never been there, and he heard it from the elders in the tribe.
They adjusted the direction according to the position of the sun while flying, just to ensure that the approximate position would not be wrong.
Jian Mo was sleepy from flying from morning to noon.
Wu Jiong suddenly said, "The territory below should be the Linyan tribe."
Jian Mo grabbed the reins of Jiujiu and looked down subconsciously.
The terrain below was completely different from their tribe. It was somewhat similar to the Ambose Plain where they went hunting and fishing. They all looked like grassland.
The grass was green and lush at this time. Looking down from the sky, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
Jian Mo opened his mouth in surprise. He finally understood why the people of the Linyan tribe didn't like to go to their side.
The two sides were completely different. It was estimated that the people of the Linyan tribe would not be used to staying there.
Before Jian Mo finished looking at the topography, Wu Jiong whispered in his ear: "Look at the orcs from the Linyan tribe."
Jian Mo's eyes widened: "Where are their orcs?"
Before Wu Jiong could answer, the stones scattered on the grass suddenly stretched out and turned into giant beasts that looked like dinosaurs.
No, no, no, Jian Mo quickly realized that this didn't look like a dinosaur, but like a giant armadillo.
Look at the thick and wide scales and the way they rolled into a ball, isn't that what an armadillo looks like?
The giant beast underground stretched its neck and looked at them.
Wu Jiong sat on Jiujiu's back and loudly explained his identity and purpose.
An exceptionally large beast in the ground spoke slowly: "Long time no see."
Jian Mo turned to look at Wu Jiong, and was about to ask him, didn't you say you had never been to this tribe?
The beast's voice did not stop: "People from the Riverside Tribe."
Another beast: "Want to change the glue?"
Jian Mo was almost choked by the long words.
The people of the Linyan tribe are actually like this!
Their speaking style is almost slower than that of koalas!
No wonder they don't like to deal with other tribes, and other tribes can't stand their style!
Jian Mo was very shocked, but Wu Jiong showed no expression. He calmly commanded the Chirp to land on the ground and greeted the group of giant beasts digging grass stems to eat: "Yes, we just want to come over to take a look and change the glue."
Giant beast: "Is that so?"
Giant beast: "Just change it..."
Jian Mo suppressed his temper and listened patiently for a long time. The giant beasts said that they didn't need their stuff. The Linyan tribe had made glue before and there was still some left, which could be given directly to them.
As he said that, one of the giant beasts rolled into a ball on the spot, rolled on the spot, and rolled to a stone on the grass that was slightly higher than the ground, and rolled from under the stone into the cave.
Jian Mo then discovered that some of the boulders on the grass were real boulders, not the stones rolled by the giant beasts.
They dug a hole in the ground and lived there.
After waiting for a long time, the giant beast that went to find glue came out slowly and handed Jian Mo a pack of amber-like translucent hard blocks, saying that this was their glue and that it should be melted in a pot when needed.
Jian Mo quickly handed the dried meat over to them, saying that it was for them.
The giant beast waved its hands, curled up into a ball, and rested in the sun.
Jian Mo was even more shocked that the giant beasts would really give him something if he said so, and they didn't even want the dried meat.
He was shocked and a little ashamed. The giant beasts spoke slowly, had really good personalities, and were really generous.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong wanted to communicate with the giant beasts again.
The giant beasts spoke slowly and refused, saying that it was too tiring to talk to them, and they should go back if there was nothing else.
So, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong spent half the morning flying to the Linyan tribe. They didn't say a few words in total, and then rode on Jiujiu and flew back to the tribe.
Jian Mo was shocked: "I never thought our neighbors have such personalities. It turns out that there are people who can live like this."
Wu Jiong looked equally shocked: "I didn't expect it either. When I inherited the tribe, the elders of the tribe took me to visit all the nearby tribes, but not the neighboring Linyan tribe."
Jian Mo looked back at the vast grassland: "Maybe it's useless to come. The Linyan tribe should not care that the neighboring tribe has a new chief."
