Chapter 153 Resin
Jian Mo and his team had not reached an agreement with the Jungle Tribe yet.
It was too late, and it was not a good idea to leave at night.
They planned to stay in the Jungle Tribe for one night and leave the next morning.
The main reason was that if they forced to leave now, it would be too disrespectful to the Jungle Tribe and would easily cause conflict.
With Wu Jiong here, they should be safe if they stayed one more night.
The Jungle Tribe arranged a small shed for them.
The shed looked simple from the outside, but it was not as bad as they had imagined after entering.
The dry grass on the ground was very soft, and the animal skins on top felt very good. You could even smell a fragrance when you slept on the animal skins.
Jian Mo stayed next to Wu Jiong, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep. He stared at the ceiling and whispered, "People outside won't hear us talking like this, right?"
Wu Jiong: "They probably can't. I can't hear the voices of people outside, and they can't hear us either."
Jian Mo: "That's good. I didn't expect the Jungle Tribe to be like this. It's a waste of my trip."
Wu Jiong: "It's not in vain. We At least we got the peppers from the Yangan tribe. When we go back, let's see if there are any corresponding peppers in the wild."
Jian Mo sighed softly: "I don't think there are any. Didn't we look carefully on the way here?"
Wu Jiong whispered to comfort him: "Then we will think of a solution later, go to sleep first."
They slept in the Jungle Tribe. When they woke up, the Jungle Tribe had already prepared breakfast for them and invited them to eat.
Seeing that the business was about to fail, the people of the Jungle Tribe were still willing to give them food, and Jian Mo felt a little embarrassed.
Shu Tao asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Jian Mo said politely, "Not bad, thank you for your hospitality."
Shu Tao smiled, revealing a mouthful of not-so-good teeth: "You're welcome, few people come to our tribe."
Jian Mo noticed that he was eating some kind of leaves and asked, "What kind of leaves are these?"
Shu Tao looked down and said, "Leaves of coniferous trees, which can relieve pain after eating. Aren't our teeth in bad condition? They hurt all the time. If we accidentally get food stuck in our mouths, it will hurt even more. We can only eat some leaves to relieve the pain."
Jian Mo thought about the rotten teeth he saw yesterday: "Actually, you can pull out the teeth."
Shu Tao shook his head: "If you pull them out, we won't be able to hunt. We can't make a living by gathering."
Jian Mo had no other choice.
Shu Tao: "In fact, we have consulted many witch doctors and spent a lot of resources, but all the witch doctors were helpless. We don't know what's going on, but the teeth in our tribe are particularly bad."
Jian Mo: "Do you have the habit of cleaning your teeth?" Shu
Tao: "We didn't before, but we did later. We learned from other tribes and used tree branches as teeth-cleaning sticks. After the cubs cleaned their teeth, their teeth got a little better, but not much."
Shu Tao sighed and said, "We really have no choice. Everyone's teeth hurt every day. With toothache, our fighting ability is not good. If we are not a little more aggressive, we probably won't be able to keep our current territory."
This is true. Tribes should always be more friendly with each other, but they will also fight for territory.
Otherwise, there would be no need to hold the Summer Harvest Festival or Hunting Conference - they are all to show the strength of one's own tribe and shock other tribes.
Shu Tao said pitifully, Jian Mo looked at him and said, "I really have no choice. There is no other treatment method except tooth extraction."
Shu Tao said bitterly, "Almost everyone in our tribe has problems with their teeth. We can't extract all the teeth."
Jian Mo said, "It's mainly because everyone switches back and forth between human and beast forms. If you repair your teeth, the materials will fall off once you switch, and the tooth filling will be useless." Jian Mo
still doesn't quite understand the principle of the transformation between beast and human form. He is now evolving towards a sub-beast man. Observing his body, he can find that the parts of the beast form are larger, and when he transforms into a human form, they are folded.
For example, his claws. The exposed animal claws are actually extensions of the nails. When he puts his hands together, the nails will be compressed and part of them will be retracted under the skin.
The original body parts of the beastmen are very precise and can be converted just right.
If he needs to have a tooth filled, with the current materials and his skills, it is estimated that the filled part will fall off when he switches from human form to animal form.
Unless the technology in this world has developed to a certain level and has produced materials with good ductility, it is estimated that no one can do it.
Shu Tao: "What is the matter with tooth filling? Can you tell us about it?"
Jian Mo didn't mind: "Probably using some kind of glue to stick other materials to the teeth to prevent the dental nerves from directly contacting the food and causing pain?"
As a veterinarian, he really had never treated small animals' teeth on Earth.
Shu Tao thought for a moment: "In this case, you can fill it in one by one, okay?"
Jian Mo's eyes popped up with question marks: "How to fill it in one by one?"
Shu Tao gestured: "We change back to beast form, and find the most rotten part, and fill it in a thin layer. When we change back to human form, the filled part will shrink a little, but it can still stick to it."
Jian Mo frowned: "It seems difficult."
Shu Tao said carefully: "Can we try it?"
The people who were listening around begged:
"Doctor Jian Mo, please help us, my teeth hurt every day."
"Me too, it hurts when I eat, and I feel hungry if I don't eat. My gums are often swollen."
"What materials do you need? We can find them ourselves."
"My teeth are so painful now. Sometimes I want to jump into the river."
Shu Tao also said: "Doctor Jian Mo, if you can really cure our teeth, let alone some chili seeds, we are willing to give you anything."
Jian Mo: "That's not the problem. The main reason is that my skills are not good enough."
Shu Tao: "Then let's give it a try?"
Jian Mo was helpless: "We need materials for filling teeth, and now we can't even find materials for filling teeth."
Shu Tao immediately said: "What materials do you want? We will find them right away. Do you want to use the teeth of other wild animals to fill them?"
Jian Mo: "No, no, no, I don't think that will work."
Jian Mo hesitated for a moment: "Can you see if you can find a certain kind of resin that is harder after solidification, but not completely hard, and has a certain degree of ductility."
Jian Mo gestured and said a lot, with a broken jar in mind.
The people of the dense forest tribe were very excited after hearing this.
Shu Tao immediately said: "We don't seem to have this kind of resin here, but we can ask other tribes. There are so many tribes here, and each tribe has good things hidden in the bottom of the box. Maybe other tribes have them."
Jian Mo already knew that their relationship with other tribes was particularly bad: "Are other tribes willing to help?"
Shu Tao: "As long as we are willing to provide supplies, they will definitely be willing."
Shu Tao looked very excited: "Doctor Jian Mo, you can rest here for two days. Whether or not the tooth filling is successful, we are willing to reward you with ten baskets of peppers and seeds."
At this point, Jian Mo said: "You should find the resin first."
Shu Tao: "We will spread the news today."
Jian Mo did not have much hope that they could find the resin, but he still took out the fish maw glue.
If the people of the Jungle Tribe really prepared the resin, he would not mind helping to try it.
The people of the Jungle Tribe really valued tooth filling. Almost the entire tribe went out that day and brought back several kinds of resin in the evening.
Shu Tao showed the resin to Jian Mo: "These resins are hard after drying, but they can be flattened by knocking. They should be able to be used as the filling material you mentioned."
Jian Mo didn't expect them to really find it: "Let me see."
Jian Mo took a stone and hammered it, and found that the ductility of several resins was good. They were hard when cooled, and they could be melted by heating them in hot water.
It seemed that they were indeed good materials.
After trying, Jian Mo said, "Since everyone is willing, let's give it a try. See who wants to go first, but before the tooth is fixed, I have to explain the risks."
Shu Tao quickly said, "Okay."
Jian Mo took out the small notebook he carried with him and carefully explained the risks and possible consequences.
The people of the Jungle Tribe didn't care at all. No matter how big the risk was, it was just losing a tooth. If they didn't get a tooth fixed, they would often be troubled by toothaches and were almost annoyed.
After Jian Mo finished speaking, several people immediately volunteered to be the first to have their teeth fixed.
After consulting the people of the Jungle Tribe, Jian Mo chose a stronger orc.
Jian Mo asked him to put his paw print on the risk disclosure form, and then said, "Let's do the filling tomorrow morning. Don't eat anything at night, and try not to drink water. Tomorrow morning, you change back to your beast form, drink some anesthetic, and I will fill your teeth."
The beastman He Yi, who was having his teeth filled, happily agreed, "Doctor Jian Mo, don't worry, I will do nothing wrong."
Several beastmen who were not selected said, "Doctor Jian Mo, if he can't do it, we can fill it tomorrow morning."
He Yi: "Go away, what do you want? I can do it!"
The next morning, He Yi took the initiative to come and knock on Jian Mo and their door, indicating that he was ready.
Seeing that it was not yet completely bright, Jian Mo said to He Yi, "We have to wait until it is daybreak, when the sun comes out and the light is better, before we can fill the teeth. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to see clearly and something will go wrong."
He Yi said happily, "Okay, I just came to tell you that I am ready."
Jian Mo nodded, "Then keep it, don't eat, and drink less water, we can fill the teeth later."
Jian Mo counted his tools again before the sun came out.
The difference was that this time he specifically asked the people of the dense forest tribe for two files - these two short files were still temporarily modified.
He planned to grind off the more severely decayed parts of He Yi's teeth before filling the teeth.
In the tense waiting, the sun soon came out.
He Yi changed back to his beast form in the middle of the tribe - he looked like a badger, with long white stripes on his furry face and a relatively wide mouth, which looked quite cute.
Jian Mo gave him an anesthetic to drink, and he soon fell asleep.
The people of the jungle tribe nervously used a stick to pry his mouth open to facilitate Jian Mo's movements.
This huge badger really had a mouthful of rotten teeth.
Jian Mo didn't dare to move all his teeth, so he picked a big tooth.
This big tooth was half rotten, with black, rotten parts and tartar on it.
Jian Mo used a file to clean for a while, and was so tired that he was panting. Then he made way for Wu Jiong to come over. He first cleaned the tartar, then grinded off the decayed parts, and then carefully glued
a thin layer of resin on the tooth with fish maw glue. In order to prevent the resin from falling off when He Yi switched from human form to beast form, Jian Mo glued it piece by piece, instead of wrapping it all up.
Treating He Yi's teeth today was purely physical work. Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were busy for half a morning, and finally they had almost fixed his rotten tooth.
People from the jungle tribe came to see the tooth.
Seeing that the tooth was cleaner than ever before, several people couldn't help but want to touch it out of curiosity, but were stopped by Jian Mo sternly.
In the afternoon, He Yi woke up, and Jian Mo asked him to quickly change back to human form and try again.
He Yi tried it and grinned: "It seems to work, there is still something stuck on the tooth, it hasn't fallen off."
Jian Mo asked him to open his mouth and observe his teeth: "Part of it has fallen off, I will fill it for you later. How do you feel now?"
He Yi: "My gums are a little sore and painful."
Jian Mo: "This is normal. We have been working on your teeth for so long that the teeth are a little loose, but it doesn't matter. It will grow stronger in two days."
He Yi responded heavily, his face full of smiles.
Jian Mo took a sterilized needle and gently moved it on his tooth that had been filled: "I'm moving your teeth like this, can you feel it?"
He Yi: "I know you are moving my teeth."
Jian Mo: "Does it feel sore or painful?"
He Yi shook her head: "It seems not."
Jian Mo: "Then the filling should be effective. Try your teeth again at night and see how it feels when you eat."
He Yi nodded quickly, and then asked eagerly: "Doctor Jian Mo, can you fill my other teeth as well?"
Jian Mo: "Tomorrow, let's see how the effect is today. If the effect is good, I will fill the remaining teeth."
When Jian Mo examined He Yi, the people of the Jungle Tribe watched the whole time.
As they talked, the people of the Jungle Tribe became more and more excited. If He Yi's teeth could be filled, their teeth would definitely be fine.
In the evening, He Yi used the newly filled tooth and said it was very effective. Although he could feel a layer of strange stuff stuck on the tooth, it didn't hurt to eat cold, hot, or spicy food.
He strongly asked Jian Mo to fill the remaining teeth as well.
Jian Mo asked him to sign the consent form for surgery again, and then, with the help of others, he ground and filled his remaining teeth.
Part of the teeth that have been filled will fall off when the human form changes to the beast form, or when the beast form changes to the human form.
After observing the condition of He Yi's teeth, Jian Mo had to help him fill them for the third time, trying his best to ensure that it would not hinder his transformation.
He Yi soon got a row of neat teeth.
The teeth that were filled with resin were slightly yellow, but much better than his black rotten teeth.
He could eat whatever he wanted with his filled teeth, even big bones.
Jian Mo quickly asked him to take it easy and pay attention to the cleanliness of his teeth.
With the successful case of He Yi, many people in the jungle tribe lined up to find Jian Mo to fill their teeth, and after negotiation, they offered a reward of three metal blocks for each tooth.
Jian Mo readily agreed for the sake of the metal block.
The orcs had to switch between human and beast forms, so the effect of tooth fillings was not that good.
The effect of tooth fillings on the sub-beasts was much better. Jian Mo put the resin all over their rotten teeth and wrapped them tightly.
They said that the filled teeth were very useful and there were no signs of tooth sensitivity anymore.
Of course, not everyone in the jungle tribe dared to come to Jian Mo for tooth fillings. Only a small half of the people had their teeth filled.
Despite this, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were busy for several days. Every day was heavy physical work, and the working environment was relatively poor, which made them exhausted.
Although the people of the dense forest tribe were ruthless in collecting the salary, they were honest and paid Jian Mo and Wu Jiong the agreed amount without any discount.
In addition to the metal blocks, the people of the dense forest tribe also prepared a large amount of dried chili peppers and chili pepper seeds.
Because my teeth were much better, everyone didn't feel sorry for the chili peppers at all, but seemed very happy.
He Yi was reluctant to leave Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo, are you going back now?"
Jian Mo said tiredly: "Yes, we have been out for too long, it is time to go back."
Shu Tao asked beside him: "Doctor Jian Mo, if we have problems with our teeth in the future, can we go to the Riverside Tribe to find you?"
He Yi was eager to try: "How about we help send the things back to you? So many dried fruits, fresh fruits, nuts, stems, metal blocks... I guess it's hard for you to carry them."
Jian Mo: "It's OK, our two flying beasts are very capable. If your teeth hurt again, just come to the Riverside Tribe to find us. Many people come to us for treatment."
He Yi: "Even if it doesn't hurt, we still want to play with you."
Jian Mo smiled: "You're welcome."
He Yi: "It's a pity that you don't have time. It would be great if you could stay here for a while. We have a lot of good things here."
