Chapter 128 Mushroom Lung
Jian Mo and his companions went to the Banhe tribe under the guidance of the Banhe tribe.
The buildings of the Banhe tribe and the Eighteen Bends tribe are similar in size, but the Banhe tribe is located in a basin, which is warmer and more humid. The houses look more rounded, and the dry grass on the roof is also thicker.
Someone in the caravan whispered:
"It's so beautiful here!"
"Their houses are so beautiful. What do the beast forms of the Banhe tribe look like? Is it big enough to live in?"
"It seems to be similar to the beast forms of the Yuqi tribe. It should be big enough to live in."
The people of the Banhe tribe listened to these praises, and they all puffed up their chests, with pride between their eyebrows.
Someone went to report to their chief.
Soon, the chief of the Banhe tribe, Zuo Han, came out with a large group of people to welcome the caravan.
Everyone greeted each other, and after the pleasantries, the caravan members proposed to exchange Banhe mushrooms.
Zuo Han agreed immediately and asked, "Which Banhe mushrooms do you want to exchange?"
The caravan members were quite puzzled and asked, "Do you have many kinds of Banhe mushrooms here?"
Zuo Han: "No, generally speaking, there are only two kinds, one is picked from the wild, and the other is grown by ourselves."
Jian Mo heard Zuo Han say this in the crowd, and his eyes lit up.
Ban Mingyang asked loudly, "Chief Zuo Han, do you grow mushrooms in the ground?"
Zuo Han: "No, they are grown on wood."
Everyone became more curious and whispered to each other.
Yun Yu asked, "Can we take a look?"
Zuo Han: "Of course, if you want to see it, we can take you there now."
Everyone followed Zuo Han through the Banhe tribe, and soon they came to the open space behind their tribe.
There were a lot of wood piled here, and mushrooms grew on the wood. Maybe because they were just picked, these mushrooms looked small, tightly clustered together, and very plump and tender.
Jian Mo quietly counted them and found that there were more than 200 woods here, which showed the large scale of the planting in the Banhe tribe.
Everyone was also shocked.
Zuo Han pointed at the mushrooms and introduced them, "If you want to exchange them for the wild-picked Mushrooms, you have to wait two days. If you want to exchange them for the Mushrooms we grow, you can pick a batch this evening and tomorrow morning and we'll give them to you right away."
Yun Yu asked, "What's the difference between the mushrooms grown in your tribe and those grown in the wild? I think you'll need twice as much for the Mushrooms picked from the wild."
Zuo Han: "The mushrooms in the wild are more delicious, and the mushrooms in the tribe are more Because the mushrooms are thick and complete, they are basically not bitten by birds and insects. They are all picked when they are in full bloom. "
Speaking of this, Zuo Han suggested: "Why don't you stay here for a day or two, and I will cook mushrooms for you to taste at night, and you will know."
Everyone discussed it again and felt that they could stay and taste the Banhe mushrooms first. They definitely couldn't leave today, and after tasting them, they could decide whether to leave tomorrow or wait two days.
Zuo Han suggested that they could go out to pick some Banhe mushrooms this afternoon, and generously said that the caravan members could do it by themselves, and the mushrooms they picked would be considered personal gains, and they would not be accepted by the Banhe tribe.
Everyone cheered and decided to give it a try.
When everyone was walking towards the Banhe tribe and preparing to take tools into the mountains, Aoxi ran towards Jianmo and the others and whispered, "Doctor Jianmo, my brother may be out. Can I come to see you in the evening?"
Jianmo nodded, "Of course."
Aoxi breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "I will persuade him to come in the evening. Doctor Jianmo, are you going to pick Banhe mushrooms? I'll go with you."
Jianmo smiled, "Okay, I'd like you to show us the way." Aoxi
: "No problem, let's go, take the basket."
The people of the Banhe tribe led the caravan into the mountains and soon arrived at the target forest. They dispersed to various places to start picking mushrooms.
Everyone was an orc and sub-orc, and they collected mushrooms a lot in their daily lives. They had some experience in finding mushrooms, but the difficulty of picking Banhe mushrooms was beyond everyone's expectations.
The shimeji mushrooms are extremely tender. Some of the mushrooms they found had already opened and were sticky and rotten, some had been mostly eaten, and some had been soaked and withered by the rain.
Ban Ming hadn't spoken to Jian Mo for several days. At this time, he came over and whispered:
"Brother Jian Mo, they have so many mushrooms here, including quite a few Banhe mushrooms."
"But they rot easily. Why do these mushrooms rot so easily?"
"Are the people from the Banhe tribe trying to tell us that the Banhe mushrooms are hard to pick, and they want to exchange them for more supplies?"
Jian Mo's hearing was extremely sharp now. He felt that their whispering was no different from shouting in the woods. He couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Keep your voices down."
Ban Ming: "They can't hear us."
Jian Mo: "It would be strange if they can't hear us."
As he said that, Jian Mo turned his head and took a look. The people from the Banhe tribe around him didn't show any abnormal expression on their faces. He didn't know if they really didn't hear it or were pretending not to hear it.
However, everyone was so excited while picking Banga mushrooms in the forest.
This kind of mushroom is so delicate and fragile that everyone spent a long time picking them, crawling and rolling in the forest, getting dirty, and finally not getting many complete Banga mushrooms.
After finally returning to the tribe, the people of the Banga tribe saw how mad everyone was and urged everyone to take a bath.
Some people from the Banga tribe took the beastmen and sub-beastmen to different places to take a bath.
After everyone took a bath and sat down to rest, the Banga tribe's dinner was almost ready.
Everyone found a place to sit in the open space and prepared to eat dinner.
The eating habits of the Banga tribe are almost the same as those of the Shibawan tribe. On the grass are mushroom soup, cold wild vegetables, and braised meat, but their mushrooms are more Banga mushrooms.
Jian Mo took two bites of the dish and was soon attracted by the fried mushrooms in the middle.
The mushrooms in the middle were fried to a charred brown color, and looked like torn beef jerky, which did not look very good.
Jian Mo quickly noticed it because he found that almost everyone in the Banga tribe stretched their forks towards the meat jerky in the middle.
He tried to pick up a piece with his fork.
When the fried mushrooms were put into the mouth, the fresh and fragrant taste spread. The taste was a bit like fried meat, but more fresh, fragrant and delicate. Even if the seasoning was only salt, it was still extremely delicious.
Jian Mo's eyes showed surprise, and he touched Wu Jiong with his elbow: "Try the fried mushroom in the middle."
Wu Jiong forked one and tasted it carefully.
Jian Mo: "How is it? Delicious?"
Wu Jiong nodded.
The others also came to their senses and put their forks into the fried mushrooms.
Jian Mo forked another fried mushroom and finished it. He was still not satisfied, but he was embarrassed to compete with others.
Everyone didn't care about this and just used their forks to pick up the fried mushrooms.
After eating, one of the beastmen even asked the people of the Banhe tribe, and after getting their consent, he directly picked up the large bowl of fried mushrooms, mixed the stems with the remaining base oil and ate them.
Jian Mo retracted his gaze and listened to the people of the Banhe tribe introduce that this kind of fried mushrooms are fried with wild Banhe mushrooms, and other mushrooms cannot have this taste.
Jian Mo gently touched Wu Jiong with his elbow, approached him and said: "It seems that Banhe mushrooms are indeed delicious. Let's change more when we leave?"
Wu Jiong nodded, and very naturally forked a piece of braised meat from the table and put it in the bowl, and then forked a large piece of fried Banhe mushrooms in the bowl and put it into Jian Mo's bowl.
His movements were so smooth that no one noticed this small detail.
Jian Mo's eyes widened.
Wu Jiong's eyes curved slightly: "We'll fry some when we get back."
Jian Mo: "Okay, we'll have enough to eat then."
After dinner, Jian Mo and the others helped to clean up the dishes and wash the bowls and chopsticks.
Just as they were about to go back, Ao Xi came over without knowing when and waved to Jian Mo and the others: "Doctor Jian Mo, this way."
Jian Mo had already figured it out. Ao Xi's brother probably didn't want to see a doctor.
Ao Xi's brother Ao Shen was a tall beastman with tan skin. His hair was very hard and stood up, but it was well-groomed and didn't look ugly.
Seeing Ao Xi pulling Jian Mo over, Ao Shen nodded as a greeting: "Dr. Jian Mo, you've made a trip here, but I'm fine, no need to see him."
Ao Xi shouted: "You said it's fine? How many times have you coughed in the past two years?"
Ao Shen frowned: "It's no use, I've taken so many medicines and there's no improvement. Besides, I'm used to it."
Ao Xi was anxious, holding Ao Shen with one hand and Jian Mo with the other hand: "I brought Doctor Jian Mo here, why are you letting Doctor Jian Mo " Can you see if it can make a piece of flesh fall off? ! Doctor Jian Mo, don't listen to him, listen to me."
Jian Mo liked Ao Xi very much, and tried to ask Ao Shen: "Why don't you tell me the symptoms first?"
Ao Shen: "That's it. It's okay during the day, but at night I tend to have a stuffy nose, cough and runny nose. I've seen a witch doctor and tried folk remedies from several nearby tribes, but there was no effect and it was very troublesome."
Jian Mo understood. The previous ordeal made him no longer believe in witch doctors, but he still had to check the body.
Ao Shen was pulled by Ao Xi and cooperated helplessly.
Jian Mo examined him and suspected that Ao Shen had rhinitis.
Rhinitis is a big problem, not to mention here, even on Earth, where technology is already advanced, many rhinitis cannot be cured.
Ao Shen saw Jian Mo frowning and asked, "Is there no cure for my disease?"
Jian Mo told the truth, "It's a bit troublesome. I don't have the corresponding medicine here, so it can't be cured."
As a pet doctor, he had never been exposed to relevant medical knowledge, and his means of dealing with rhinitis were extremely limited, not much more than those of an ordinary person.
Ao Shen had a look as if he had guessed the result: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo waved his hands: "I didn't do anything."
Ao Shen: "Ao Xi, please see Doctor Jian Mo off. I have some newly grown Banhe mushrooms in my room. You can pick them and dry them for Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo's beast ears twitched, and he immediately stopped him: "Wait, you said there are some newly grown Banhe mushrooms in the room?"
"What's the matter?" Ao Shen explained, "We pick Banhe mushrooms once in the morning and once in the evening. We haven't had time to pick the evening batch yet."
Jian Mo: "Can I see the Banhe mushrooms in your room? I want to see if it's related to your illness."
Ao Shen looked at Jian Mo and didn't say yes or no.
Aoxi was anxious and pulled Ao Shen: "Brother!"
Ao Shen said: "Okay. Aoxi, take Doctor Jian Mo over."
Aoxi immediately said: "Doctor Jian Mo, come with me." Aoxi
pulled Jian Mo and went straight to Ao Shen's room.
As soon as he entered the room, Jian Mo felt something was wrong. He smelled a very strong mushroom smell - a slightly sweet and a bit turbid smell.
He opened his eyes and looked carefully, and soon found that in this small bedroom, Ao Shen made a whole wall with wood grown with Banhe mushrooms.
At this time, the Banhe mushrooms on the wooden wall were growing vigorously, one by one, plump, and very pleasing to look at.
Jian Mo's scalp was numb, and he turned to ask Ao Shen who was outside the house: "How can you grow mushrooms indoors?"
Ao Shen: "It's warmer and more humid inside, and the mushrooms grow better inside."
Jian Mo: "But you are prone to mushroom lung!"
Upon hearing the new term, Ao Xi immediately poked his head over and asked nervously: "What is mushroom lung?"
Jian Mo: "Your tribe knows how to grow mushrooms. You know that mushrooms have very small 'seeds', right?"
Ao Xi nodded: "You have to use big mushrooms to sow seeds on wood to grow small mushrooms."
Jian Mo: "That's the problem, you can't see the seeds. In fact, when mushrooms are mature, they will spray out a large number of 'seeds'. These seeds are inhaled into the lungs, which will make people uncomfortable."
When Jian Mo was in school, it was very popular among his classmates for a while to grow mushrooms.
Some people would put mushroom bags bought online in their bedrooms. When the mushrooms mature, the spores would spray out and be inhaled into the lungs, which could easily cause allergies.
Mushrooms are fungi, and the lung environment is too suitable for spore growth.
At that time, their school had publicized and warned against it, but he didn't expect to see someone raising mushrooms in the bedroom again today, and the amount was quite large.
Ao Shen looked unconvinced.
Jian Mo asked, "Did your discomfort start when you started growing mushrooms in the house? After the mushrooms started growing, your discomfort got worse. Before they started growing, it was fine."
Ao Shen: "I felt uncomfortable when I was a kid."
Jian Mo thought for a moment, "Then have you been in contact with mushrooms since you were a kid?"
Ao Shen frowned and said nothing.
Ao Xi saw that there was a chance and cheered up, "Brother, you may not remember what happened when you were a kid. I'll ask the clan leader to come over. He must know."
Ao Shen: "Do you have to bother the clan leader with such a small matter?"
Ao Xi: "The clan leader is worried about your health. He will definitely not mind the trouble."
With that, Ao Xi ran out and quickly asked Zuo Han to come over.
After Zuo Han arrived, he briefly asked about Ao Shen's situation. Hearing that it might be a problem with mushrooms, he recalled: "Our tribe has been dealing with Banga mushrooms for a long time, and the history of growing Banga mushrooms is also very long. Ao Shen should have come into contact with cultivated Banga mushrooms when he was a child."
Jian Mo: "Then it really might be a problem with the Banga mushrooms. Whether it is or not, we will know after an experiment."
Zuo Han: "Then what should we do?"
Jian Mo looked at Ao Shen: "First move out of the old room and live in a new room where mushrooms have not been grown, so as to avoid any 'seeds' remaining in the room. Don't come into contact with mushrooms for a short time. If you have to come into contact with them, wear a mask first."
Zuo Han: "Mask?"
Jian Mo : "It's the kind of mask I wore before. I have a new one. I'll bring it over later."
Zuo Han nodded repeatedly to indicate that it was feasible: "Then thank you."
Zuo Han turned around and said to Ao Shen: "Listen to Doctor Jian Mo. You have been sick for so many years. You feel uncomfortable and Ao Xi is worried. You see, every time he encounters a new tribe, he asks for a witch doctor for you. He has looked for so many times. It's too hard."
Ao Shen frowned, but finally agreed: "I know, thank you, Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo: "You're welcome."
Zuo Han: "Move to the empty room at the front of the tribe. I'll ask someone to help you clean it later."
Ao Shen nodded again.
After Jian Mo saw that they had reached an agreement here, he went back and got a new mask for Ao Shen.
Although Ao Shen was a little reluctant, he still thanked him politely and put the mask on his face.
Ao Xi came over happily to help Ao Shen move, and bowed to Jian Mo again to express his gratitude.
Ao Xi was very concerned about his brother's condition. The next day, he ran to the temporary house where his brother lived to check on his brother at dawn.
Ao Xi knocked on the door: "Brother, are you awake? Are you feeling better today?"
Ao Shen's voice came from the house, and it was quite helpless: "You sleep a little longer, and I will tell you the situation later, right?"
Ao Xi: "I want to know now, are you feeling better?"
Ao Shen opened the door: "Yeah."
Ao Xi's eyes sparkled: "Does this answer mean that you feel better, or that you don't feel anything? Do you have a runny nose today? Press some of the snot out for me to see."
As he said that, Ao Xi reached out and pinched his brother's nose.
Ao Shen couldn't help it, raised his hands and grabbed his brother's wrists: "Aren't you disgusted?"
Ao Xi: "It's important to cure the disease, come and have a look!"
Ao Shen had to say: "Today, I only have clear mucus, and my nose is not so blocked anymore."
Ao Xi: "Then it's really better! Doctor Jian Mo is amazing, he is worthy of being a miracle doctor praised by so many tribes, I will go to tell him the good news."
Ao Shen acquiesced.
Ao Xi looked at his brother's expression and ran away.
Soon, Ao Xi ran to the temporary room where Jian Mo and his friends lived, and knocked on the door politely, while listening to the movements in the house.
If Jian Mo and his friends were not awake yet, he would not disturb them.
Jian Mo's hearing was very sharp. When Ao Xi ran over, he had already heard his footsteps. Now he heard him knocking on the door, and he became more awake.
After getting dressed, Wu Jiong went out to open the door.
Ao Xi nodded to Wu Jiong as a greeting, and couldn't wait to stick his head into the room and report the good news: "Doctor Jian Mo, my brother is better! The method you said is effective!"
Jian Mo: "Really? What's the situation now?"
Ao Xi: "He just has a runny nose, and his voice is not so hoarse, and he looks more energetic."
Jian Mo: "Then it should be an allergy caused by mushrooms. Let him stay away from mushrooms in the future, and be especially careful not to be in the same room with mushrooms."
Ao Xi nodded vigorously: "I'll tell our chief later to remind other people in the tribe not to keep mushrooms in the room."
Jian Mo agreed: "Yes, you should tell him."
Ao Xi smiled happily and said, "I just came here to tell you the good news. Now I'll go tell my brother. Doctor Jian Mo, you guys can rest for a while and come out for breakfast. After breakfast, we'll take you out to pick mushrooms."
Last night, after everyone had fried Banhe mushrooms, they insisted on switching to wild Banhe mushrooms.
Banhe mushrooms are too delicate. You can dry them or fry them after picking them. Anyway, you have to process them so that everyone can carry them.
So, today they have to stay in the Banhe tribe for another day, just in time to go out to pick some mushrooms or hunt some prey.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong plan to go with the main force.
Before they set off, Ao Shen came over wearing a mask.
This cool and arrogant man said to Jian Mo and the others, "Doctor Jian Mo, follow me today. We may be able to pick more mushrooms."
Jian Mo was a little surprised.
Ao Xi came over and whispered to his brother, "My brother is just awkward and embarrassed to apologize directly. He actually feels bad, so he wants to take you to pick more Banhe mushrooms."
Jian Mo understood, "It's okay, no need to apologize, your brother is too polite." Ao
Xi smiled and said, "My brother knows a lot about the growth of Banhe mushrooms. Let's follow him. I guarantee that we will have a big harvest today."
Jian Mo: "Okay."
After the majority of the troops entered the mountain, Ao Shen and his brother took Jian Mo and Wu Jiong to another direction.
Some people wanted to follow, but Ao Shen stopped them with his eyes.
Even Jiujiu and Yingao were unable to catch up.
Ao Shen was very familiar with the nearby mountains and forests, and in just a few steps he led Jian Mo and the others to the first Banga mushroom collection point: "We came to this point to collect mushrooms three days ago. Counting it down, new Banga mushrooms should have grown today."
Jian Mo used a small stick to dig up the fallen leaves on the ground: "Let me see."
Ao Shen and the others followed suit and dug together. After a few pulls, the Banga mushrooms underneath were exposed.
The Banga mushrooms at this growth point had just grown out today, and each one was wide and thick, blooming just right, and had basically not been bitten by insects and birds.
Jian Mo looked at the chubby Banga mushrooms and couldn't help squatting down. After patting the umbrella cover, he carefully pried out the Banga mushrooms one by one with a stick.
The perfectly grown Banga mushrooms have no sticky feeling at all, only a rich and refreshing fragrance that is very pleasant to smell.
He counted them and found that, except for the very small Banga mushrooms that they did not pick, there were a total of twenty-seven mushrooms in this growing site, which can be called a bumper harvest.
After picking them, Ao Shen turned over the mushrooms that Jian Mo had placed in the basket with his hands and explained, "The mushrooms here are numerous and varied. People who are not familiar with them may easily pick other varieties, and mixing them together and cooking them may cause poisoning."
Jian Mo praised, "You are so careful."
Ao Shen: "As you should. Let's go to the next Banga mushroom growing site."
Ao Shen took Jian Mo and the others to more than ten growing sites, almost emptying out all the treasured Banga mushroom growing sites.
Jian Mo felt a little sorry, and Ao Shen said, "Just don't bring others to these growing spots to pick mushrooms. You alone can't pick much."
Jian Mo nodded repeatedly, "Even if we come next time, we will ask for your consent before coming."
Ao Shen smiled with a mask on. Jian Mo only saw his slightly curved eyes and thought that this beastman was easy to get along with.
Today we went out to pick mushrooms, whoever picks the most gets it.
Jian Mo originally poured half of the Banga mushrooms to the place where the people of the Banga tribe cooked, meaning that everyone could eat together.
The people of the Banga tribe smiled and brought the mushrooms back to him, and pointed to the figure of Zuo Han standing in the distance, meaning that Zuo Han ordered it.
Ao Xi and Ao Shen brought two large jars of animal oil and set up a large clay pot to help Jian Mo fry the Banga mushrooms collected today.
Jian Mo thought that these Banhe mushrooms would be used as medical expenses, so he didn't bother to be polite with the Ao Shen brothers.
The fried wild Banhe mushrooms were just as fragrant as yesterday.
Jian Mo couldn't resist the temptation, so he poured some out to share with everyone, and fed a few bites to Jiujiu and Ying Ao.
In addition to the fried Banhe mushrooms given by the Ao Shen brothers, Jian Mo and his friends also exchanged two large baskets of dried Banhe mushrooms from the Banhe tribe - the kind they grow.
Although the Banhe mushrooms grown by the Banhe tribe are not as fresh as wild ones, they are much more delicious than ordinary mushrooms and can be taken back and eaten slowly.
On the morning of the third day, after Jian Mo and his friends got up, Ao Xi came to report the good news, saying that Ao Shen's body had improved a lot and that he no longer had a runny nose.
The orc's physical condition was amazing. Jian Mo nodded and congratulated Ao Xi with a smile.
Aoxi thanked him happily and stood aside to watch Jian Mo examine Bei Ya and Dan Guan.
The protein thread on Bei Ya's face has been basically absorbed, and there is basically no trace of the thread. His wounds have also recovered very well, with only narrow linear wounds. After they heal, they should be white marks, not scars.
However, the glue still has a certain impact on his skin. The place where the glue and skin are in contact has begun to turn red, and I am afraid it will peel off in two days.
Jian Mo has no more glue in his hands, so he can only tell Bei Ya that he will make a new reduction sticker for him after returning to the tribe.
Bei Ya expressed his willingness to go to the Riverside Tribe with them first.
Jian Mo has basically determined that the alopecia on Dan Guan's body is tinea.
The tinea has red spots, which looks more serious, but the hair follicles under the red spots seem to have moved, which is another good thing.
Jian Mo planned to observe for another two days to see if he should try another treatment plan.
Hearing that Ao Shen's health had improved, Jian Mo was very happy: "Then it is basically certain that it is the mushrooms that are the problem. I will tell him later that he should be careful when he comes into contact with mushrooms in the future."
"I heard it." A voice came from behind Jian Mo.
Jian Mo turned around and saw Ao Shen coming over with two pieces of wood growing Banhe mushrooms on their backs: "Dr. Jian Mo, thank you for helping me get rid of my illness. These two pieces of mushroom wood are for you."
Jian Mo felt that the fried Banhe mushrooms they gave him were enough to cover his medical expenses. He was too embarrassed to accept any more and waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, mushroom wood is too expensive."
Ao Shen: "It's nothing. It's just a piece of wood that can grow a few more Banhe mushrooms. You can't replicate it even if you take it back."
After a pause, Ao Shen said: "The clan leader has already... I agree, you keep it."
Jian Mo thought about it, and finally couldn't bear to part with the wood that could grow Banhe mushrooms, so he accepted it and gave two stacks of 24 soaps in total as a return gift: "Then you keep these soaps, thank you."
Wu Jiong took the mushroom wood from Ao Shen's back and nodded: "May the friendship between the Banhe tribe and the Riverside tribe last forever."
Ao Shen took the soap: "May the friendship between the Riverside tribe and the Banhe tribe last forever."
