Chapter 135 Gastric Stones
The furry little bears were particularly cute when they squatted in horse stance. They were even cuter when they could not stand and kept shifting their center of gravity.
Jian Mo glanced at the cubs, lowered his head and continued to process the scaleless fish. After a night of hard work, he was particularly happy to see the cubs being punished.
Jian Mo's two large metal pots were placed on the simple stove in the open space, burning with a high fire, ready to fry the scaleless fish.
Qing Kuang and his friends brought out two large pots of animal oil boiled in the tribe and poured one pot into each pot.
When the oil in the metal pot was about to smoke, an orc nearby poured the drained scaleless fish into it.
As soon as a large number of scaleless fish were put into the pot, the oil temperature dropped slightly with a "sizzle" sound, and soon rose again.
The scaleless fish cut into strips shrank and curled in the pot, and was fried golden brown, and the fragrance instantly wafted up.
The adults already thought it was delicious, and the children couldn't help but inhale wildly beside them.
An adult saw the children like this and shouted, "Squat down, don't be lazy!"
The children were squatting loosely at first, but after being shouted at, they had to squat again with a bitter face.
There were too many scaleless fish caught today, and five large pots were fried.
After frying, everyone immediately took it to the stone slab to grill.
It happened that the scaleless fish had already been fried and had oil on it, so there was no need to brush extra oil when grilling, on the contrary, some oil had to be squeezed out.
Jian Mo specially prepared a barbecue sauce, and everyone brushed it on the fish while grilling. After brushing, they sprinkled pepper powder and garlic powder on it, and grilled the fish until it was fragrant.
Soon, everyone was drinking fruit wine, sitting in the evening breeze and eating grilled scaleless fish, chatting while eating.
The scaleless fish was plump and fragrant, and it tasted a little chewy. The pepper powder on it also provided a little spiciness, and the more you ate, the more you felt that the aftertaste was endless.
The adults fanned themselves while eating, and the fragrance all drifted to the children who were squatting in horse stance.
The children of the Bingjiang tribe swallowed their saliva wildly and watched eagerly.
But no adult was soft-hearted, and even their own father ignored them.
In contrast, the children of the Riverside Tribe were eating grilled scaleless fish one by one, and the sauce was smeared on their faces, making their faces look like little cats.
One cub couldn't stand the spiciness, so he stuck out his tongue while eating, hissing and inhaling, but he never put down the grilled fish skewers.
The adults brought a glass of honey and jam to feed the cub, who gulped it down, wiped his mouth, and continued eating. The adults smiled and brought him more glass of glass.
The cubs of the Bingjiang tribe watched, their eyes almost glued to the grilled fish skewers.
You know, grilled fish is the favorite of the little bears!
Not to mention that today they were eating fat, glutinous, fragrant and scaleless fish.
The cubs of the Bingjiang tribe hoped that one of the adults would remember them after eating.
Unexpectedly, the adults slowly tore the grilled fish skewers in front of the cubs and ate them, not only cruelly eating them all, but also drinking all the glass of glass of glass, burping happily.
The cubs saw that this was a deliberate trick on them.
One of the little bears tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help it and burst into tears.
Kang Ying glared at him and said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you crying? Squat down!"
The little bear was frightened and quickly squatted in a standard horse stance, but he couldn't help sobbing and sobbing, and the fur on his face was wet.
Kang Ying: "You naughty little cub, not only will you not have grilled fish skewers tonight, but you won't have anything else either. Be honest and go hungry for a night. Remember this lesson."
The cubs of the Riverside Tribe couldn't help but cast sympathetic eyes at their little friends after hearing this.
Among the cubs of the Bingjiang Tribe, more cubs immediately started crying.
This lesson should be profound enough.
The adults looked at the cubs and were quite relieved.
Jian Mo also likes scaleless fish very much. The meat of this fish is delicate and has a special fragrance when it tastes, which suits his appetite very much.
He ate a lot that night and drank a lot of wine. He didn't know when Wu Jiong took him back.
When he regained consciousness, it was Wu Jiong who called him by the bed.
"What time is it?" Jian Mo opened his eyes in confusion and moved to the bed. "Is it dawn?"
As he said that, Jian Mo not only did not get up, but hugged Wu Jiong's waist, clamped his legs, rolled over, and rolled Wu Jiong to the bed, rubbed his neck, and kissed him again.
Wu Jiong wrapped his hands around Jian Mo's head and rubbed it to help him relax his scalp: "Someone is coming downstairs to seek medical treatment. Do you want to go down and take a look?"
"Now?" Jian Mo looked up at the window and saw the bright sunlight. He muttered, "Well, it's getting late. Which tribe are they from? What's the problem?"
Wu Jiong: "The kid from Yunxia Tribe said that he has stomach discomfort and doesn't look well. He's very thin."
Jian Mo's mind was not very clear at the moment. After a while, he remembered which tribe Yunxia Tribe was: "The tribe below Baizhi Tribe, right? Okay, I'll go down and take a look."
Jian Mo yawned, picked up his clothes and put them on, and went downstairs to take a look.
Sure enough, there was a family of three sitting in the living room, two fathers with a kid.
The kid was in the shape of a beast and looked very thin, as thin as a scarf, very long, and looked like a small mink.
If Jian Mo had not been sure that the little guy was a living creature, he would have thought it was a scarf with a mink head.
The two fathers hurriedly greeted Jian Mo, who asked them to sit down first and made tea for them.
After washing up, Jian Mo came over and asked about the little boy's condition.
The two fathers of the little boy looked very worried:
"Gong Wei has not eaten much. Even if you force him to eat, he will vomit it out soon."
"The little guy often has stomachaches and sometimes vomits acid."
"He has always been unwilling to change into a human form, saying that his stomach hurts when he changes."
After listening carefully, Jian Mo summarized: "It should be loss of appetite, indigestion, upper abdominal pain, and symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn accompanied by vomiting. It sounds like a stomach problem. Let me take a look."
The two fathers didn't quite understand and just nodded blankly.
Jian Mo took out the stethoscope, listened carefully for a while, and then held the little mink on his knees again.
The little mink was indeed long, definitely more than 1.5 meters from head to tail, but because it was so thin, it felt like a narrow strip.
Jian Mo gently rubbed his head.
The little mink looked sick, and swung its big fluffy tail. It hugged Jian Mo's wrist with its paw and sniffed.
Jian Mo whispered, "I'll give you a physical examination with my hands first. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
The little mink shook its big tail again and whispered, "I know."
Jian Mo: "Be good."
Jian Mo touched it inch by inch, and soon touched the little mink's soft abdomen, and then touched a hard object in his stomach through his belly.
Judging from the location, the hard object should be in the stomach. It is round and quite large, at least as big as a goose egg.
Such a large hard object is really a bit scary for a little mink of this size.
Jian Mo frowned, worried that it was a tumor.
There are many types of tumors, some are particularly troublesome, and Xiao Diao might be in trouble.
No, not necessarily. After a careful examination, Jian Mo felt that the touch was a little strange. It might not be a tumor, but a simple foreign body.
Jian Mo gently touched the foreign body and asked Xiao Diao: "Does it hurt?"
Xiao Diao shook his head.
Jian Mo asked his two fathers again: "Do you know when this thing started to appear on the boy's body?"
Xiao Diao's father asked hurriedly: "Are you talking about this lump? I'm not sure. One day the boy said he felt uncomfortable, and we reached out and touched it and we could feel it."
His father added: "It should have appeared at the end of last autumn, when winter was approaching. We tried many ways but failed to remove it."
Jian Mo asked: "Was it that big at the beginning, or did it get bigger later?"
This time Xiao Diao's two fathers were very sure: "It got bigger slowly later."
Jian Mo frowned again: "This foreign object can grow, which will be relatively troublesome. . I can't feel it out through the belly, I guess I need surgery to take it out."
Xiao Diao's father: "Doctor Jian Mo, surgery... do you need to cut open the belly?"
Xiao Diao cried when he heard this, and struggled on Jian Mo's knees: "I don't want surgery, Dad, Father, I don't want it."
Jian Mo gently touched Xiao Diao's head: "Don't be afraid, it will definitely not be done now."
After saying that, Jian Mo said to his two fathers: "We'll talk about it later, you stay in the clinic first. Have you had breakfast? If not, have something at our house?"
Xiao Diao's two fathers said that they had already eaten dried meat, so there was no need to worry.
Jian Mo asked them to go to the clinic first, and when Wu Jiong took them there, he asked Banchu and the others to play with Xiao Diao.
After everyone left, Jian Mo simply had breakfast and went upstairs to write down the medical history related to the stomach.
In addition to tumors, gastric stones are also very likely - gastric stones are various indigestible things stuck in the stomach.
There are plant-based ones, such as persimmon stones caused by eating too many persimmons that cannot be digested, hair stones formed by hair, and mixed gastric stones.
Jian Mo had treated cats with hair stones in their stomachs before. If the one in Xiao Diao's stomach is a gastric stone, the possibility of hair stones is relatively high.
In any case, surgery must be performed to remove it.
It's just that Xiao Diao's body is too weak, and surgery has certain risks.
After writing the preliminary diagnosis, Jian Mo went to discuss with Xiao Diao's two fathers.
Wu Jiong personally called people, and the cubs in the tribe really took Xiao Diao out to play.
The two fathers of Xiao Diao were the only ones in the clinic, so they didn't have to think about how to avoid Xiao Diao.
Jian Mo said to the two worried fathers, "The boy's problem is indeed quite serious. Now there are several speculations."
Jian Mo told them about the speculations about tumors, gastric stones, etc., and also talked about the necessity and risks of surgery.
The two fathers' faces wrinkled when they heard it.
Xiao Diao's father asked: "Can we try to recuperate him first? Gong Wei's body is too weak. Will he feel better after some recuperation?"
Jian Mo: "In theory, it will be a little better if he is recuperated. However, there is such a big foreign object in the little guy's stomach. I am not sure if the recuperation can be successful. After all, if the stomach is uncomfortable, no matter how much or how good the food is, there is nothing we can do if we can't digest it."
Xiao Diao's father: "Let's recuperate him first. When I think about cutting open his stomach, I--"
As he said that, his eyes suddenly turned red and he buried his face in his partner's shoulder.
Xiao Diao's father also had tears in his eyes: "I think so too. Everyone said that Gong Wei might not survive. Doctor Jian Mo also said that surgery is risky. If something really happens, Gong Wei will have to live a hard life for the past two years. I, we..."
Seeing them like this, Jian Mo felt bad, so he said: "Then I will prescribe some medicine to stimulate appetite and aid digestion in the next two days. You can make it for the little guy. I will also give him some preserved fruits to see if his appetite can be improved."
Xiao Diao's two fathers nodded repeatedly.
The Riverside Tribe has been renovated, and several more empty rooms have been built. The living area and the workshop area have also been separated. Now outsiders can stay in the tribe.
After Xiao Diao and his two fathers handed over the supplies to the Riverside Tribe, they lived in the empty house, waiting for Xiao Diao to recover and have surgery or go back to recuperate slowly.
There were many cubs in the Riverside Tribe, and Xiao Diao played with them all and had a lot of fun.
I don’t know if it was because he was in a good mood because he had company, or if the medicine Jian Mo brewed was really effective, but Xiao Diao’s appetite improved a little, and he ate more than when he was in the Cloud Tribe.
His two fathers were very surprised to see this.
That evening, Xiao Diao and the cubs of the Riverside Tribe ate together in the open space.
The little white wolf Zhou Dao’s family made delicious barbecue, and he generously shared it with his friends, and also gave Xiao Diao two pieces.
Xiao Diao ate it happily, but not long after he finished eating, he vomited out meat and blood, and rolled on the ground because of the stomach pain.
The cubs were so scared when they saw this that their fur stood up, and Zhou Dao was so scared that his eyes were straight and he was completely stiff.
Hefeng was relatively brave and shouted to the adults at the top of his voice: "Hurry up, Gongwei is vomiting blood!!!"
The other cubs followed suit and cried, running towards the adults: "Vomiting blood!"
The adults rushed over, picked up the little mink and sent it to the clinic.
Jian Mo also quickly let the giant wolf carry him to the clinic.
Everyone gathered in the clinic and saw Xiao Diao lying on the bed dying.
Jian Mo checked and found that Xiao Diao was vomiting blood, and it stopped quickly. It might be because of the stomach damage caused by eating just now.
He whispered to Xiao Diao's two fathers: "Maybe he still needs surgery."
Xiao Diao's two fathers still had red eyes, looking at the unconscious Xiao Diao, with an expression of pity on their faces.
Seeing them like this, the people of the Riverside Tribe whispered to them:
"We can't delay any longer. No matter how we recuperate, we can't solve the problem from the root."
"Jian Mo is willing to help treat the disease, which means he is certain. If he is really not sure about the patient, he will not accept it." "
The little cub is so pitiful. He is so thin and suffering. If we delay any longer, it will affect his growth."
These days, the beastmen and sub-beastmen are more simple and honest. The two fathers of Xiao Diao did not feel offended when they heard others' advice, and just said they would think about it.
The cub is someone else's child, and the people of the Riverside Tribe did not say too much. They just asked them to have a good rest. If there is anything, just call and everyone will come to help.
The two fathers of Xiao Diao gratefully agreed.
At night, Xiao Diao woke up, opened his eyes and shouted, "Dad, Father."
His father hurried over, gently touched Xiao Diao's head, and asked, "My dear, is there anything else that is uncomfortable?"
Xiao Diao cried, "I'm hungry and it hurts."
The two fathers were heartbroken when they heard it.
Xiao Diao had just vomited blood, and Jian Mo Rang told him that it would be better not to feed him. They didn't dare to feed him, so they could only touch Xiao Diao and said, "Sleep a little, we can eat tomorrow morning." Xiao
Diao nodded, rubbed his father's hands with his head, and said, "I want to have surgery."
Xiao Diao's father forced a smile and said, "Do you know what surgery is? You just want to have surgery."
Xiao Diao pouted and said, "I want to get better soon and play with Zhou Dao and the others."
When Jian Mo received the news and rushed over, Xiao Diao fell asleep again. It was hard to tell whether he fell asleep because he was sleepy or fainted.
His two fathers sat by the side with worried faces.
After Jian Mo finished examining Xiao Diao, Xiao Diao's father said, "Doctor Jian Mo, let's do the operation."
Jian Mo became serious, "Okay, then I'll explain the risks and circumstances of the operation to you first. Wait, I'll call someone over."
Jian Mo called Wu Jiong and Qing Kuang over, explained the relevant circumstances carefully, and asked Xiao Diao's two fathers to press their paw prints.
Both of his fathers' beast forms are minks, even if they are sub-beasts, they can extend their paws.
Jian Mo always felt that pressing paw prints was more formal, and this sense of ritual could also help relatives to be more serious psychologically, so even though there was no court or anything like that here, he would still ask the parents to press their paw prints.
It just so happened that Xiao Diao hadn't eaten anything since he vomited.
Jian Mo said that he would do the surgery in the morning and rest for a night first.
The two fathers agreed with heavy hearts.
In this era, every surgery is a challenge.
Jian Mo's previous patients were all in good physical condition and could rely on their own resistance and self-healing abilities to overcome many difficulties.
Xiao Diao probably can't do it, he is too thin, and his physical condition is much worse than that of ordinary orcs.
Jian Mo felt a little stressed and did relatively more preparations.
Early the next morning, Jian Mo simply ate something, took a shower, prepared a sterilized surgical gown and a set of surgical instruments, and came to the riverside clinic.
Wu Jiong followed him to help.
Jian Mo also specially asked Dejiang to guard outside. In case of any emergencies, it would depend on Dejiang's on-the-spot performance.
Jian Mo and his friends looked so serious that Xiao Diao's two fathers became even more nervous.
They held hands and waited outside the small clinic. They may have walked more distance in the morning than they did in a hunting trip.
The atmosphere outside the clinic was particularly solemn, but it was fine inside.
After Jian Mo opened Xiao Diao's abdomen, he found that the situation was a little better than he had imagined.
The gastric stones in Xiao Diao's stomach were indeed mainly hair, with some fiber and gelatin.
It was unknown how long this gastric stone had been in his stomach. It was round and brown all over, just like a large donkey dung egg.
Jian Mo took out this heavy gastric stone and found that it was bigger than his fist.
No wonder Xiao Diao has been suffering from indigestion and vomiting blood. Who can bear such a big foreign object in the stomach?
In addition to the gastric stone, Xiao Diao's stomach is also a little ulcerated, but it is not a big problem. He is so young and can be cured by nursing.
After Jian Mo carefully examined it, he sewed up Xiao Diao's stomach with protein thread.
As for the mess of internal organs, don't worry about it. After putting it back in the stomach, the internal organs will return to their place by themselves.
Jian Mo performed this operation very carefully, but it did not take long.
He completed the operation not long after the sun came out.
He took the gastric stone out, and Xiao Diao's two fathers ran up nervously, looking at him expectantly, wanting to ask but not daring to.
Jian Mo said, "The operation has been completed and it was very successful. This thing is the gastric stone taken out from the little guy's stomach. After taking it out, it's fine. Next, we just need to slowly recuperate."
As he said this, Jian Mo showed them the gastric stone.
This old gastric stone exuded a strong strange smell, and it was hard and smelly.
Xiao Diao's two fathers could hardly believe that this was something taken out from their own cub's stomach.
Their eyes were red again.
Xiao Diao's father said, "Gong Wei is so thin. How uncomfortable he must feel with such a big piece of stuff in his stomach?"
Jian Mo had to comfort him, "He will get better. Take good care of him in the future. After he gets better, let him eat more wild vegetables and lick his fur less."
Xiao Diao's father: "Is this thing all fur?"
Jian Mo: "In addition to fur, there are other things. You can take a look. There should be some pectin."
The two fathers nodded and really planned to study it carefully.
Jian Mo was a little tired. After talking with them, he asked them to take good care of the child and call for help if there was anything. Then he went back to take a shower and go to bed.
Xiao Diao's two fathers followed him for a long way, their eyes full of gratitude.
Xiao Diao's condition was better than Jian Mo expected. Although
the boy was thin, his physique was good. He woke up at noon and recovered some energy.
After the examination, Jian Mo announced that the operation was successful, but the boy had to stay in the riverside tribe for a few more days for observation.
Xiao Diao's two fathers readily agreed and didn't care about the supplies at all.
After a few days, Jian Mo asked Xiao Diao's two fathers to give him meat porridge with chopped wild vegetables.
Xiao Diao's two fathers quickly agreed.
Since he had told Xiao Diao, Jian Mo also told other people in the tribe, asking parents to pay attention to feeding the cubs wild vegetables and not just meat.
Cats on Earth are pure carnivores, and they also have to eat some grass and spit out hairballs.
Orcs and sub-orcs are omnivores and cannot live without wild vegetables.
The cubs in the Riverside Tribe don't like to eat wild vegetables, maybe because their taste buds are more sensitive and their bodies are more fragile. Some wild vegetables have weak toxins, and they will instinctively resist wild vegetables.
But they have to eat them, so they have to choose the lesser of two evils.
The cubs were forced to participate in the action of eating wild vegetables, and they were all very resentful.
One day, the kitten Banqiu saw wild vegetables on the dinner table again. He wagged his tail and meowed in protest, "Dad, I don't want to eat this, meow."
Qingkuo: "If you don't eat it, you might get a hairball in your stomach. When the hairball grows big and you can't spit it out, you'll have to cut open its stomach to take it out."
Banqiu was smart: "We usually eat grass. In the past, we rarely ate wild vegetables, and no one got a hairball in their stomach. Gongwei's is rare. He's sick."
Banming chuckled beside him: "Growing hairballs in the stomach is not a problem. Hairballs are rare, but constipation is quite common, right? Who has had their butt scratched by claws? "
Banju, who had been unable to poop before, looked at his brother with disdain: "Brother, you said this while eating, it's disgusting."
Ban Ming: "Anyway, it's not me who had my butt scratched, and it's not me who helped others to scratch their butts, so I don't feel disgusted."
Banju was speechless and could only use his long tail to whip his brother's ankle: "Humph!"
Not to mention ordinary people, even Jian Mo himself learned from Xiao Diao's lesson and ate more wild vegetables for a few days.
He can help others with surgery if they have gastric stones, but if he himself unfortunately has gastric stones, it would be really bad.
There is no one here who can help him with surgery, and his physical condition is not as good as that of ordinary beastmen and sub-beastmen. It would be very troublesome if he gets sick.
Xiao Diao got better day by day under everyone's care, and even gained some weight.
Before, Xiao Diao was as thin as a scarf, but now he is a little fatter, and his hair has become shiny and smooth, which makes him look cuter.
He especially likes Jian Mo. Every time Jian Mo checks him, he will jump on Jian Mo's thighs and spread his belly for Jian Mo to show him.
On this day, after the examination, Jian Mo said to Xiao Diao's two fathers: "He is almost well. You can try to change him back to human form. Let me see."
Before, Xiao Diao had a huge gastric stone in his stomach. It would be very painful to change back to human form, and he himself was unwilling to change.
Both of Xiao Diao's fathers hadn't seen his human form for more than half a year. After hearing what Jian Mo said, they encouraged him, "Gong Wei, show yourself to Doctor Jian Mo."
Xiao Diao was a little scared, but he still agreed, "Dad, clothes."
His father found clothes in his bag and handed them to the boy, saying with a smile, "Change."
Xiao Diao said again, "I'll turn my back."
His father laughed at him, "Are you shy?"
Xiao Diao snorted twice, and no matter what his father said, he still turned his back and changed back to human form.
His father handed him the robe in his hand, and he wrapped it around his waist twice and dressed neatly.
Jian Mo looked at the boy with a smile.
The boy's human form was also very thin, but his skin looked healthy, and the wound on his chest had healed well, with only a faint scar.
The boy is so handsome, it would be a pity if he had a big scar on his chest.
Gong Wei also looked up at Jian Mo, a little shy, but also a little happy: "Brother Jian Mo."
Jian Mo waved at him: "Come, let me take a closer look at your wound."
Gong Wei ran to Jian Mo.
Jian Mo put on the stethoscope, rubbed it for a while, and then gently put it on Gong Wei's chest.
From what the stethoscope heard, the boy is quite healthy. After
listening for a long time, Jian Mo stood up and said to the father and son in front of him: "You have recovered well, you can go back. After you go back, you'd better pay attention to your diet, eat more and eat more. Gong Wei is a little thin, you have to replenish nutrition quickly, so as not to affect your growth and development."
Gong Wei's two fathers nodded quickly.
Jian Mo smiled and said, "You can go back now. You've been out for so long, I wonder if you miss home?"
As he spoke, Jian Mo gently pushed Gong Wei, and then felt that the fabric of his clothes seemed to be different: "Huh?"
