Chapter 127: Banhe Tribe
The long-tailed birds are very powerful, but they are still inferior to the fat chirps. The caracals are also good at catching birds.
Before long, most of the long-tailed birds in this area were caught.
Seeing this, the people of the Eighteen Bends Tribe praised it one after another. After releasing some of the thinner long-tailed birds, they led everyone to the next bird-catching point.
This time, the fat chirps and caracals still rushed to take action, intending to show who was better.
Chirps and Yingao also flew down and tried to help catch the long-tailed birds.
Under the efforts of the hunting army, the long-tailed birds were pressed down and squeaking.
Especially Jiujiu, whose big size gave him an advantage, and he caught every one accurately. The people of the Eighteen Bends tribe and others were still cheering for Jiujiu, and Jiujiu became more and more proud.
Jian Mo didn't know how to call it back.
In contrast, Ying Ao's hunting skills were much higher. He could catch long-tailed birds directly with his claws, and he could catch two at a time.
After catching the long-tailed birds, the people of the Eighteen Bends tribe released some of the weak and young long-tailed birds again, and then took the other long-tailed birds, hunting and collecting at the same time, and walked towards the tribe.
Today was a great harvest, and everyone was in high spirits.
After bringing the captured long-tailed birds back to the tribe, the people of the Eighteen Bends tribe immediately selected the long-tailed birds, picked out those that were more seriously injured, and then fed them with the mushrooms they had collected today.
It was the first time that Jian Mo saw such an operation, and he couldn't help asking: "Can this kind of mushroom heal the injury of the long-tailed bird?"
The people of the Eighteen Bends tribe were stunned when they heard him ask this question, and then laughed: "Of course not."
Jian Mo looked at the mushrooms, then at the long-tailed bird, and his meaning was very obvious: "Then what are you doing?"
The people of the Eighteen Bends tribe laughed even harder: "We are testing poison. You don't know that we have a lot of mushrooms here, and many of them look similar. Some poisonous mushrooms are hidden very deeply. We have the habit of feeding poisonous mushrooms to long-tailed birds."
Jian Mo understood: "If the long-tailed bird is poisoned to death, you won't eat it. If it's not poisoned to death, you will cook the long-tailed bird and mushrooms together, right?"
The people of the Eighteen Bends tribe smiled and nodded.
Jian Mo followed the people of the Eighteen Bends tribe to watch.
They put the long-tailed bird, which was not seriously injured, into the bird pen. Before putting it in, they specially cut off its tail feathers and the long feathers on its wings.
Jian Mo was a little skeptical: "Can they be kept in this way?"
The people of the Eighteen Bends tribe said: "Long-tailed birds love to be beautiful. If their tail feathers are cut off, they will be very depressed and will only want to hide. They will not want to go out at all."
Jian Mo did not expect that they have this characteristic. Looking at the long-tailed bird curled up in the bird pen, it is true that everything has its own weaknesses.
After taking a look, Jian Mo asked, "How long has the longest-raised long-tailed bird been raised here?" The
people from the Eighteen Bends tribe talked to each other and gave an accurate answer, "Four years. If it is raised for too long, it will stop laying eggs and its meat will not taste good."
Jian Mo: "Then are there any birds that are raised in a pen and hatched by themselves?"
The people from the Eighteen Bends tribe said, "Yes, but there are only a few. They don't like to hatch eggs in the pen, and many times they die while being raised, and there is no chance to hatch eggs."
Jian Mo didn't quite understand, "Why did they die while being raised? Did they die of illness?"
The people from the Eighteen Bends tribe smiled honestly, "Not entirely. Some were not well-raised and were eaten by us."
Jian Mo asked many questions, and the people from the Eighteen Bends answered all that they could, and even invited him to raise long-tailed birds with them.
The people of the Eighteen Bends said that no other tribes nearby raised long-tailed birds, and everyone thought it was strange that their tribe raised long-tailed birds.
Jian Mo said that if this kind of high-quality bird could be domesticated, it would be an important asset, and there was nothing strange about it.
The people of the Eighteen Bends were very happy, and they told him that when he returned, they would give him two long-tailed birds and some bird eggs so that he could take them back to the tribe to raise.
Jian Mo was even happier, and immediately took out a dagger to give to the people of the Eighteen Bends.
While they were chatting here, other people from the Eighteen Bends observed and found that the long-tailed bird was fine, so they started to kill the bird and make bird soup.
It was getting late, and it was just right to have dinner after the bird soup was cooked.
The Eighteen Bends tribe stews bird soup by directly putting bacon and mushrooms in a large pottery pot.
The thick pottery pieces absorb a lot of heat and then slowly release it, sealing all the soup, meat, mushrooms, etc. in the pottery pot and stewing them slowly.
The freshness of the mushrooms and the fragrance of the bacon are slowly released into the soup and also stewed into the bird meat.
As everyone chatted, their attention was involuntarily transferred to the bird soup - it was so fragrant.
This dense and mellow aroma attracted people's attention more and more, making people's appetites whet.
I don't know how long they waited in restraint, but the people of the Eighteen Bends tribe finally announced: "It's time to eat, everyone come and eat."
So everyone gathered in front of several large pottery pots, waiting to eat.
The pottery jar was opened, and the rich aroma of freshness filled the air.
Some people helped to scoop out the soup, while others took the long-tailed bird out of the pottery jar, cut it into pieces with a knife, and then poured a special sauce on it, and placed it in front of everyone for everyone to eat.
Jian Mo took a sip of the soup first. He could clearly taste the freshness of the long-tailed bird, the freshness of the mushrooms, and the freshness of the bacon.
Each kind of freshness was different, and all melted into the pot of soup.
When people tasted it again, they could taste the layers of freshness released, which stimulated the taste buds to the extreme.
Jian Mo held the bowl and praised: "It tastes good!"
The people of the Eighteen Bends tribe greeted enthusiastically: "Come and try the bird meat, it tastes good too."
Jian Mo picked up a piece of meat and tasted it. He found that the bird meat was very tender and delicious, especially after absorbing the mellow aroma of bacon, the taste was even more amazing.
Jian Mo: "It's delicious, this combination is perfect."
The people of the Eighteen Bends tribe: "It's a pity that our mushrooms are not so good. The best mushrooms are in the Banhe tribe. They have a kind of Banhe mushroom there. They use it to cook long-tailed birds. It really makes people swallow their tongues into their stomachs."
Jian Mo: "Are there really such delicious mushrooms? Is their tribe far away? If not, let's go and try some?"
Jian Mo said the latter sentence to Wu Jiong.
Wu Jiong said, "Not far, just a little below the Eighteen Bends tribe. We have to pass by their tribe on our way back."
Jian Mo: "Let's make the arrangements. We'll go and try some tomorrow."
The people from the Eighteen Bends tribe: "Other things are easy to say, but we really recommend exchanging their mushrooms. So many people have tried them, and no one says anything bad about them."
Others testified, "Their mushrooms are extremely delicious. They're delicious when eaten alone, and they're another flavor when stewed with meat."
It happened that everyone in the caravan was here, so after discussing it, they decided to set out tomorrow to go to the Banhe tribe first, and after exchanging mushrooms, they would rest in the Banhe tribe for a day before going back.
Jian Mo asked: "What do the people of the Banhe tribe like to exchange? Can we exchange the things we brought?"
The people of the Eighteen Bends tribe said: "Don't worry, they often exchange mushrooms with other tribes. They will take anything that can be used. We have been neighbors with them for so long, and I have never heard that they have rejected any tribe."
Jian Mo smiled: "Mainly because the Banhe mushroom sounds so delicious, I'm really worried that we won't be able to exchange it."
After dinner, everyone exchanged the things they wanted to exchange and prepared to rest. They would get up early the next morning and rush to the next tribe.
Wu Jiong specially checked Jian Mo's ears: "Does your ear hurt today?"
Jian Mo touched it: "It's okay, not too painful. Maybe I'm used to it, and now I can automatically ignore those tiny noises."
Wu Jiong: "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
Jian Mo patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course, I don't do the kind of thing that hides my partner."
Wu Jiong saw that he was in a good mood and knew that he really didn't feel uncomfortable, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Mo looked through the backpack: "What did you exchange today?"
Wu Jiong: "Some seasonings, seeds, small pickles, and the two long-tailed birds and a nest of bird eggs that you exchanged for the dagger."
The long-tailed birds were given to Jian Mo by the Eighteen Bends Tribe, but Jian Mo returned the metal dagger as a return gift, so it was not wrong to say that it was exchanged.
Jian Mo looked at the metal and cloth under the basket: "It seems that most of the supplies have not been exchanged?"
Wu Jiong: "No, we have not exchanged them. Previously, we exchanged glass for Ji Xun's honey sparrow nests and honey cubes, which was the largest transaction."
Honey sparrow nests are easy to break, so they did not carry them with them, but asked the people of the Baizhi tribe to help carry them to the riverside tribe.
It happened that the people of the Baizhi tribe wanted to give them pearl rice, so they could give it to them as well.
Jian Mo counted the supplies: "Suddenly I feel that we are really rich."
Wu Jiong: "We have never lacked supplies."
Jian Mo lowered his voice: "I saw the people of Mengshui tribe exchange lubricating ointment with other tribes. It seems that their business is doing well?"
Wu Jiong: "That is their most popular thing."
Jian Mo fell on the bed and sighed: "When I came out, Qing Kuang suggested that I bring ointment, but I refused at that time. Now it seems that I should not have rejected his suggestion. The old ones are still the wisest." Wu Jiong
: "Let's exchange it next time we come out."
Jian Mo: "Okay."
The two chatted for a while and fell asleep soon.
The next day, before setting off for the Banhe tribe, Jian Mo called Bei Ya and Dan Guan over to check on their condition.
The wound on Bei Ya's face was almost healed, with only a thin red mark left. I
don't know if it's because Jian Mo's scalpel is fast enough, his skills are good enough, or Bei Ya's recovery ability is too good. At present, it seems that as long as Bei Ya continues to recover at this rate, there should be no obvious scars.
He himself is aware of the situation on his face. He has been more careful in the past few days. He dares not to make any expression or speak.
Jian Mo gave some instructions and asked Bei Ya to continue to maintain it, and then went to see Dan Guan's condition.
Dan Guan changed back to his beast form for Jian Mo to see.
Before, Dan Guan's baldness was very smooth, and even the hair follicles were hardly visible. Now, for some reason, small rashes began to appear.
Jian Mo, wearing gloves, cautiously touched Dan Guan's rash and asked, "Does it itch?"
The huge tiger cat nodded, "A little."
Jian Mo frowned, "In that case, how about we stop taking the medicine for two days and try it?"
The tiger cat was unhappy, "I think itching is a good thing. My illness has not shown any signs of improvement in years. It's a good thing if I can get some improvement. It's better than nothing, right?"
Jian Mo didn't expect him to say that and looked at him for a second longer.
Tiger Cat: "Really, I don't think the skin will break for the time being, why don't we continue to use this medicine and see if there is any improvement?"
Jian Mo: "If you say so, then we will use it for two more days. If the wound becomes more and more red and swollen after two days and there is no sign of new hair growing, we will stop the medicine and take a break."
Tiger Cat nodded repeatedly: "I'll listen to you."
Jian Mo helped Bei Ya and Ji Xun, while Wu Jiong fed Jiu Jiu and took care of Ying Ao.
The two packed up their things and followed the main force.
The people of Mengshui tribe led the way, and the people of Hongluo tribe brought up the rear. Everyone lined up in a long line and walked towards the Banhe tribe.
Jian Mo's two winged beasts and a group of fat chirps were flying in the sky. It was a rare opportunity to have so many friends flying in the sky. The chirps were very happy and even the frequency of flapping their wings changed.
Fortunately, the fragile items were all carried on the giant wolf, otherwise Jian Mo was really worried that when they arrived at the Banhe tribe, they would only see a pile of debris.
While hurrying on the road, everyone was chatting.
Jian Mo chatted for a few sentences and fell asleep in the steady rocking.
The team walked until noon, and Jian Mo heard a strange voice shouting in a daze: "Are you from the caravan? We are from the Banhe tribe and we came out specially to pick you up."
After Jian Mo grew beast ears, he was very sensitive to all kinds of sounds and woke up immediately.
He looked up from the giant wolf and saw a group of beastmen and sub-beastmen standing by the road holding jars. They looked young from their young faces.
The fat ones rushed down first and called out, "Penduo, why are you here?"
The people from the Banhe tribe heard the familiar voice and said happily, "We came out as soon as we heard the news. You must be tired after traveling so far. Come and have some water."
They were all acquaintances, so they let down their guard and rested on the spot.
It must be said that the people of the Banhe tribe delivered the water in time. Everyone rushed all the way and their throats were already steaming with thirst. Everyone was very happy to have clean water to drink.
The fat people quickly pulled the adults of the Banhe tribe to Jian Mo and introduced them to Jian Mo: "Brother Jian Mo, this is Peng Duo and Ao Xi. We are friends and they are very nice people."
Several beastmen and sub-beastmen from the Banhe tribe had bright eyes: "Doctor Jian Mo! We have wanted to meet you for a long time. We heard that your medical skills are very powerful!"
Jian Mo smiled: "Nice to meet you."
Everyone got to know each other.
The orc named Aoxi asked, "Doctor Jianmo, my brother keeps coughing, can you cure him?"
Jianmo: "Cough? Has he caught a cold recently?" Aoxi
: "No, he just coughs and produces phlegm. He coughs every once in a while, and he doesn't seem to have any other discomfort."
Coughing every once in a while, could it be rhinitis? Jianmo went over the related diseases in his mind, and then said, "I'm not sure about this. Only when we see the person can we determine what the problem is, but we may not be able to determine it."
Aoxi said happily, "Then I'll bring him to you later. Thank you, Doctor Jianmo."
Jianmo looked at the orc who was worried about his family, and his tone softened a little: "You're welcome. Thank you for the water."
Aoxi was even happier: "Let's go together . I cooked it early in the morning and brought it here after it cooled down. I heard that the tribes there don't like to drink spring water and must drink boiled water, right? "
Drinking boiled water was still recommended by Jian Mo. He smiled and said, "Yes, some cold water has invisible parasites. Drinking boiled water is much safer."
Jian Mo also popularized the knowledge of parasites. The people of the Banhe tribe were stunned and said that they would drink boiled water and less raw water in the future. Jian Mo
smiled and had a better impression of this group of beastmen and sub-beastmen.
