Chapter 125 Baldness
After another night of sleep, Jian Mo's high fever subsided to a low fever. He felt much more comfortable and his irritability subsided a little.
He reached out to touch the soft beast ears on his head. The beast ears no longer hurt, but they still felt strange. It felt like there were only two thin pieces of skin on them, no meat, and no cartilage. They could be pinched into any shape, which was completely different from human ears. Jian Mo
pinched and kneaded the beast ears into various shapes, but he still couldn't imagine what the beast ears looked like.
Wu Jiong reached out and grabbed his wrist: "Don't play with it, it's easy to swell."
Jian Mo: "I just want to know what it looks like now. Can you help me find a mirror so I can take a look - it seems to look a little strange?"
"Not strange." Wu Jiong said, and he found a mirror and shone it from behind him, "Can you see it?"
Jian Mo tried hard to roll his eyes up, and stretched out his hand to hold down his flying hair. After looking for a long time, he said disappointedly: "It's so small, gray and fluffy, not as cool as Qingkuan's ears."
Wu Jiong: "It will grow bigger if it grows longer."
Jian Mo: "It feels a little suspended. Qingkuan's ears are pointed, with two tufts of long hair on them. I "These two ears are like two floppy wood ears. How long will it take for them to grow into ears like Qingkuan and his friends? They are really ugly."
Wu Jiong kissed his beast ears. Through the thin skin, he could feel the blood vessels throbbing. A smile appeared in his eyes: "How is it ugly? It's obviously very cute and has a different kind of vitality."
Jian Mo felt the hot air exhaled by Wu Jiong on his ears. He stretched out his hands to cover his ears and refused: "You are blowing too hard. "It's over."
Wu Jiong kissed his forehead and said, "You're not ugly, you're cute and unique."
Jian Mo muttered, "Isn't it? Four ears that can be used - I guess I'm the only one in the whole Orc Continent."
Jian Mo rolled over on the bed twice, touched his forehead, and said, "My fever has almost subsided. Let's catch up with the main force today? It's a bit boring to stay here."
Wu Jiong hugged him and said, "Wait a few days, you need to recuperate."
Jian Mo: "It's okay to rest on the way. I can sleep on you for a while longer."
Wu Jiong: "What if you get a fever again after being blown by the wind? I suspect that you had a fever yesterday because of the wind."
Wu Jiong's attitude was very firm. Jian Mo said left and right, but he couldn't move Wu Jiong. He had to lie down on the bed and spread his arms and legs: "Okay, I'll lie down for another day and see tomorrow."
Wu Jiong kissed him again: "I'll go make medicine for you."
The sun came out in the morning, and there was no wind.
Jian Mo felt that his bones were sore from lying on the bed. He couldn't lie down any more, so he got up, put on his fur coat and hat, and went to the open space to help the people of the Snow Foot Tribe do some work and chat with them.
The people of the Snow Foot Tribe were making jam.
What they were making was the Pinghua fruit jam that Jian Mo had praised a few days ago. While the weather was good, they were going to wash the round green fruit, dry it, peel out the core, cut it into small pieces, and put it into a jar with salt to ferment.
Today was just the first step, but it was all delicate work that required great patience to do well.
Jian Mo had nothing to do, so he washed his hands and helped them cut the Pinghua fruit.
The Snow Foot Tribe didn't have much metal, and they weren't very interested in metal, so they still used shell knives.
Jian Mo guessed that their food might be mainly fish, shrimp, shellfish, wild fruits and vegetables, and the cutting requirements were not high, so they had no motivation to change knives.
While the adult orcs and sub-beasts were processing the Pinghua fruit, the cubs of their tribe were practicing fishing in the lake.
The little river vampires swam back and forth in the lake and soon found their targets.
One of the little river vampires caught a big fish. His strength was probably almost as great as the fish, so he was in a stalemate with the fish. He couldn't drag the fish ashore, and the fish couldn't get rid of him and swim back to the lake.
The little river vampire bit the fish's back tightly with its fine white teeth and refused to let go. When the fish struggled, it rolled several times in the lake with him, like a ball.
Despite this, the little river vampire still insisted on not letting go, and his round eyes were full of determination.
When the little river vampire and the big fish were playing games, water splashed everywhere, and with Jian Mo's sharp hearing now, he could hear every detail.
He clearly heard the river vampire spitting out saliva and coughing.
Jian Mo couldn't help but feel a little worried, and asked the people next to him: "Is there really no need to intervene in this situation?"
The people of the Snowfoot Tribe waved their hands and laughed, "If the kid can't stand it, he will ask for help himself. If the situation is not right, the beastmen standing by will also help. Nothing will happen."
Jian Mo looked carefully and found that there were indeed many big river vampires lurking under the lake, just like yesterday.
Fortunately, there are security guards there, which makes people feel at ease.
Just as Jian Mo and the others were chatting, Jian Mo heard another thumping sound of footsteps.
He looked into the distance and saw a giant beast that looked like a cat or a tiger running towards him from a distance.
The patrolling beastman of the Snowfoot tribe suddenly became alert, stopped at the gate of the tribe, and asked loudly: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The giant beast stopped and said: "I am Dan Guan, a beastman from the Shanming tribe. I am here to see Doctor Jian Mo for treatment. Doctor Jian Mo
is still here, right?" The patrolling beastman's tone softened a little: "Yes, wait a moment, we will go and ask if Doctor Jian Mo is willing to entertain you?"
Dan Guan squatted down, put his tail in front of him and wrapped it around his paws: "Sorry for the trouble."
The patrolling beastman grinned: "You're welcome."
Jian Mo had actually heard their conversation, so when the patrolling beastman came to ask, Jian Mo agreed without hesitation: "Sure, ask him to come over."
The patrolling beastman went out again.
Soon, Dan Guan, wearing a tiger-print hat, walked in, walked to the edge of the open space, quickly locked onto Jian Mo, and greeted him: "Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo stood up and nodded: "Hello, let's talk over there."
Dan Guan breathed a sigh of relief, followed Jian Mo to the side, and introduced himself on the way.
When they were alone, Jian Mo asked the young beastman in front of him: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Dan Guan took off his hat and showed Jian Mo his head: "I don't know what happened, but since the year before last, my hair has been falling out more and more seriously, and now there are several large spots."
Jian Mo motioned him to lower his head and took a closer look. Sure enough, he saw several places where there was no hair.
The scalp in those places was smooth and even the hair follicles could not be seen. It looked like it was not easy to cure.
Dan Guan lowered his eyes and did not notice Jian Mo's expression. He muttered: "I asked around for a long time before I heard that you could cure it. As soon as I heard the news, I rushed to the Riverside Tribe, but I didn't expect them to say that you were out. I chased you all the way out of the Riverside Tribe, and fortunately I caught up with you here."
Jian Mo motioned for him to follow him, and said to him on the way: "Actually, I'm not good at treating this kind of disease."
Dan Guan stopped nervously: "No way? I I heard that you have cured a little orc. When I went to the River Tribe, I saw that little orc. His hair was so thick and it seemed that he had indeed been cured."
Jian Mo shook his head: "His situation is a little different."
Dan Guan: "Different?"
Jian Mo: "Don't every orcs lose their hair during the molting season? When they grow to a certain age, they will also lose their hair and replace it with new hair--"
Dan Guan nodded repeatedly, indicating that it was indeed the case.
Jian Mo went on to say, "The little beastman who lost his hair suffered a major blow. He was in a bad mood and suffered from malnutrition. Therefore, when his old hair fell off naturally, he could not grow new hair, and thus developed alopecia areata. It doesn't seem to be the case with you?"
Although Dan Guan had signs of alopecia areata on his head, the hair on other parts of his head that were not bald was shiny and his hair quality looked very good. He also looked very strong, which was different from the situation when Ran Zhen lost his hair.
The more Dan Guan listened, the colder he felt: "Is that so?"
Jian Mo saw that his hands and feet were stiff, and he soothed him in a gentle tone: "Wait for me, I'll get the tools and check carefully."
When Jian Mo returned to his temporary residence, Bei Ya was waiting for him on the road.
Looking up at Dan Guan, Bei Ya asked, "Can I go over and take a look?"
Dan Guan originally didn't want people to see his baldness, but when he saw Bei Ya's messy face and the fact that he was a beastman, Dan Guan didn't mind so much: "I have no objection."
Jian Mo also felt that it would be safer with one more person, so he nodded to Bei Ya and said, "Let's go."
Jian Mo returned to his temporary residence and took out his medical kit.
He put on gloves and a mask, then found a metal stethoscope and put it on, and the whole person looked very professional.
Dan Guan didn't recognize the tools he was wearing, but seeing his serious outfit, he had a little more trust in his heart.
After a careful examination, Jian Mo didn't find any problems with Dan Guan's body.
Judging from the results of the physical examination, Dan Guan is very healthy, even strong.
Jian Mo asked, "Did anything special happen during the time when you started losing hair?"
Dan Guan shook his head, "No, everything was normal, it just fell out suddenly."
Jian Mo: "Did you move? Have you ever been in love? Have you ever tried new foods or suddenly stopped eating certain foods? Have you changed the water you drink? Or have you gone to a new place to take a shower?"
Dan Guan shook his head with every question Jian Mo asked, and his head was almost shaking like a toss-up.
After Jian Mo asked the last question, he began to ponder, and Dan Guan asked in despair: "Can't find the cause of the disease?"
Jian Mo: "Both of your fathers don't lose hair, so it may not be a genetic problem, but a mutation problem. I really have no way to deal with this mutation now."
Dan Guan: "How about you prescribe some medicine for me? The same medicine that the bald little beastman takes?"
Jian Mo helplessly: "I didn't really prescribe any medicine for him, I just took care of him for a few days, let him eat well and sleep well, or you can take good care of him for a few days, eat well and sleep well?" Dan
Guan: "I have always eaten well and my sleep quality is also good."
Jian Mo had no choice.
Seeing Dan Guan with a tearful face, he looked really pitiful. Jian Mo suggested: "How about you make a wig? I have some glue that is very useful. You can change some real hair to make a wig and wear it on your head. There shouldn't be anything to be seen."
Dan Guan thought about it and became even more desperate: "What should I do when I am in beast form? I will be bald in beast form too."
Jian Mo had no choice but to say: "You are losing hair suddenly, or it may suddenly start to grow one day. Why don't you go back and take good care of it?" Dan Guan: "What if it doesn't grow in my lifetime?" Jian Mo heard that his family did not have the gene for hair loss, and guessed that it was more of an environmental factor, so he said: "Why don't you change the environment and drink water when the time comes
?"
Maybe it will be better if I change my diet."
Dan Guan looked at Jian Mo eagerly and said, "I am losing hair, no orcs like me, and no other tribe can accept me."
Jian Mo: "Then are both your fathers from the Shanming tribe? Can the tribes they came from allow you to stay temporarily?"
Dan Guan shook his head: "They are all from the Shanming tribe."
Dan Guan paced back and forth for a long time, and suddenly stepped forward and came to Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo, you said that the little orc got better after he came to the Riverside Tribe, so can I move to your Riverside Tribe?"
Jian Mo was confused: "Ah?"
Bei Ya also raised his head to look at Jian Mo.
Dan Guan looked at Jian Mo expectantly: "My beast form is also a cat, which should meet the standards of the Riverside Tribe. And I am a young beastman with good fighting ability. I can help you hunt and gather--"
Jian Mo did not wait for him to finish, and quickly waved his hand to interrupt him: "You have to ask Wu Jiong and the others about this."
Dan Guan: "Then can you help me speak up?"
Jian Mo felt that Wu Jiong and the others would not agree, so he said: "You don't have to go to the Riverside Tribe, you just need to change the environment."
Dan Guan was very frustrated, and
Jian Mo saw him like this, so he had to say to him: "You ask Wu Jiong."
Seeing Jiujiu nearby, Jian Mo shouted: "Jiujiu, go and bring Wu Jiong over."
Jiujiu said happily: "Jiu--"
and turned around and flew away.
After waiting for a while, Wu Jiong heard the news and came over.
As soon as he saw the man, he rushed up to ask if he could stay temporarily in the Riverside Tribe.
As expected, Wu Jiong refused. Wu
Jiong said, "It's not convenient for our tribe, but you can ask the people of the Mengshui Tribe. They often accept orcs and sub-orcs from other tribes."
Dan Guan: "Is it really impossible?"
Wu Jiong: "No."
Dan Guan was silent for a moment: "Okay, I'll go ask."
Jian Mo comforted Dan Guan: "Maybe you can live in Mengshui tribe for a while and you will be fine. If you don't get well, we can still find a way by then."
Dan Guan sighed: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo: "You're welcome."
Dan Guan finished talking with Jian Mo and thought about giving him medical expenses.
Jian Mo felt that he didn't help much and refused to accept it.
Dan Guan handed over part of the supplies he brought to the people of the Snow Foot Tribe, planning to stay here for two days. After Jian Mo got better, they would go after the caravan together and ask the people of the Mengshui Tribe.
Jian Mo and his people had no objection. It was actually a good thing for them to have one more strong beastman in the team.
At night, Jian Mo lay next to Wu Jiong: "I feel that there may be more and more beastmen and sub-beastmen coming to our tribe to exchange ideas in the future. How about we make a plan after we go back and divide the living area, work area and so on? That way we don't have to worry about people from other tribes coming."
Wu Jiong: "I think so too. I will discuss it with Qing Kuang and the others after we go back."
Jian Mo said again: "Didn't we build a sand road last time? If it is convenient, we can put Stones are easier to use than sand. If we don't have enough manpower, we can also draw some materials to ask other tribes for help."
Wu Jiong: "Many people from the tribe told me that they want to come here to learn. If we ask, there should be people willing to come."
Jian Mo moved a few times on the spot and found a comfortable position: "Then we will ask after we go back and build up the tribe well."
