Chapter 148 Evidence
In Jian Mo's eager anticipation of watching three times a day, one of the three seeds he planted finally sprouted.
The small bud was fragile green at first, then turned green, and the leaves became oval, thin, and trembled in the wind.
Wu Jiong asked, "Are these pepper seedlings?"
Jian Mo hesitated, "I'm not sure. The pepper seedlings I've seen before seemed to have long leaves."
Wu Jiong, "Then we'll have to wait until they're a little bigger."
Jian Mo, "Yes, let's wait until they're a little bigger. If they bloom and bear fruit, I'll definitely be able to recognize them."
At this point, Jian Mo was a little worried, "I don't know if the peppers can still grow when the weather gets cold. Otherwise, should we move them out to get some sun during the day and move them back to avoid the cold at night?"
Wu Jiong didn't mind and just wanted to move a ceramic pot, "Let's move it."
Jian Mo looked at the seedlings and sighed, "What a pity. If I were studying agriculture, I'd definitely be able to recognize them."
Wu Jiong, "If you want to study agriculture, you won't be able to cure people's illnesses."
Jian Mo, "It's too difficult."
Not only the Riverside Tribe, but people from several nearby tribes also heard about the pepper seedlings and came to join in the fun.
Except for Jian Mo, no one had ever tasted peppers, but Jian Mo's ability was obvious to all, and he highly recommended this condiment, so everyone was curious.
When they saw the thin and weak branches, everyone was a little disappointed.
Such a small seedling, it is unknown when it will produce peppers.
On this day, an orc from the Meng'an tribe and his companions rushed to the Riverside Tribe to seek medical treatment.
This beastman named Shui Mian had a big tumor on his back: "It doesn't hurt actually. I feel a pull when I change into human or beast form, and it's uncomfortable when I sleep, but that's all."
Jian Mo gently touched the fist-sized tumor on his back, not knowing if it was a benign cyst: "How many years have passed since the tumor grew?"
Shui Mian stretched out his fingers and counted: "More than ten years."
Halfway through, he really couldn't count anymore, and looked at his companions for help.
His companion said, "It's been nineteen years. It started growing when he was a kid and has grown to this size."
Shui Mian nodded repeatedly, "I didn't want to care about it at first. It grew bigger and bigger and uglier, so I wanted to get rid of it. Bei Ya said you can help get rid of it, right?"
Jian Mo looked into Shui Mian's round eyes and said conservatively, "Not necessarily. I can help you cut it off first, but I'm not sure if it will grow back."
Shui Mian said quickly, "It's good that it can be cut off. When it grows back, I can come over and cut it off a second time."
Jian Mo waved his hand, "It's not a good thing to stimulate it too many times."
Shui Mian didn't quite understand. After Jian Mo patiently explained, he nodded as if he understood, but still insisted on cutting off the tumor. For a young beastman, having such a big tumor on his back is like a bow. It's really unbearable.
After a careful examination, Jian Mo determined that the tumor could be removed, and finally said, "Then do it. I'll get ready, and you guys get ready too."
Wu Jiong was not in the tribe, so Jian Mo asked Ye Luo to help him.
Ye Luo was very efficient, had helped with operations several times, and had some knowledge of medicine, so he was a good candidate for an assistant.
Removing a tumor is a relatively minor operation, and the risk is not too great. All you need to do is disinfect it and be patient.
Shui Mian's companions seemed very nervous, but Shui Mian was okay.
With a resolute attitude, he quickly drank the anesthetic, and lay on the operating table, as if he was leaving everything to Jian Mo.
It can be seen that this tumor has really troubled him for a long time, and he wants to find a way out.
Jian Mo cut off Shui Mian's tumor. He originally thought it was a benign cyst, but it turned out to be mostly pus. In the middle of the pus was a hard branch. Now the color of the branch was very strange due to being soaked, and it also emitted a strong stench.
At first glance, this was an old branch. It was unknown how many years it had been wrapped in Shui Mian's body.
Jian Mo did not expect that Shui Mian's tumor came from this. He was quite surprised when he took the branch and looked at it.
It is better for a tumor to be caused by a foreign body than a malignant tumor.
Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief for Shui Mian. In this case, it can be basically judged that his tumor will not grow again.
Because he has performed many operations, Jian Mo now has experience and can accurately control the amount of anesthetic.
Shui Mian had surgery in the morning and woke up in the afternoon.
As soon as he woke up, he felt his back was flat and immediately reached out to touch the wound.
Jian Mo grabbed his hand and said, "You can't touch it now. It will easily get infected if you touch it!"
Shui Mian blinked.
Jian Mo patiently explained what infection was and what the consequences of infection would be. Then he said seriously, "The tumor on your back is wrapped with a foreign object. Do you remember this branch?"
As he spoke, Jian Mo held up a pottery plate for Shui Mian to see. There was a short branch in the pottery plate.
Shui Mian looked at it carefully for a long time and said in surprise: "It's still in my body?"
Jian Mo: "It's the one that caused you to have a tumor."
Shui Mian: "I told you! When I was a child, I once climbed a tree in beast form and accidentally fell on my back from the tree. I felt something poking my flesh. I was afraid of being scolded by my father, so I didn't dare to say anything and turned back into a human form and went home."
Shui Mian's eyes flashed with surprise and joy: "It turns out that it has been on my back all the time! It's still like this, it's amazing hahaha."
Jian Mo: "Yeah, don't you feel any pain?"
Shui Mian "Yes, a little bit, but who doesn't have some pain? I'm used to it."
Jian Mo: "...If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you still have to see a doctor as soon as possible."
Shui Mian said happily: "I know, thank you, Doctor Jian Mo, you are really amazing, better than any witch doctor I have ever seen."
Jian Mo said smoothly: "Have you seen many witch doctors?"
Shui Mian: "I have seen a few, after all, the tumor on my back is not good-looking, so I want to find a witch doctor to remove it. I also looked for travelers and wanted to ask for help, but several travelers said there was no way."
Jian Mo often heard about travelers, but apart from Xing Yuan, a wandering beastman adopted by the Mengshui tribe, and Lian Ke, a witch doctor, he had never met a real traveler.
Shui Mian and his companions understood this: "The Riverside Tribe didn't like to receive outsiders before, and travelers usually went to the Mengshui tribe."
Jian Mo: "Where do travelers usually come from? South or north?"
Shui Mian: "Both north and south, we seem to have met more from the south. I heard from travelers that the south is bigger, there are more beastmen, and some tribes have tens of thousands of people."
As he spoke, Shui Mian's eyes showed envy.
The nearby tribes were small tribes with only a few hundred members, and he really couldn't imagine a tribe with tens of thousands of people.
Jian Mo thought for a moment and asked, "Have you heard of chili peppers?"
Shui Mian: "Yes!"
Before Jian Mo could ask further, Shui Mian grinned and said awkwardly, "I just heard about it from your tribe. Do you want chili peppers?" Jian Mo looked at the boy and was a little depressed: "Yes, if you have any news, you can tell me." Shui Mian nodded repeatedly
