Chapter 176 Joint Delivery
Jian Mo has gotten used to copying prescriptions.
While copying, Xingjiu would explain some pharmacology to him.
He can copy and take notes at the same time, so his learning efficiency is relatively high.
It doesn’t matter if he can’t remember it for a while, he will take notes by himself, and if he doesn’t remember something clearly, he can remember it slowly based on his notes later, and he will soon be able to remember it clearly.
Similarly, when Jian Mo is learning, he will give Xingjiu some popular science knowledge.
Xingyi originally wanted to learn with him, but the old man was old and it was very difficult for him to learn.
Moreover, because of his old age and declining physical functions, even if he learns it now, he can’t help people with surgery.
In the end, Xingyi let Xingjiu and Jian Mo learn from each other and make progress together.
There were oil lamps in the Xingchu tribe, and the two studied under the lamps.
Jian Mo studied very hard, and Xingjiu followed suit. After studying for
half a night, both of them had a sore back, but they finally finished learning today's content.
Xingjiu put away the prescription and praised: "You learn so fast, we don't have many prescriptions here for you to learn."
Jian Mo smiled: "You've been out for so long, I want to go home."
Xingjiu: "No wonder you study so hard."
After putting away the paper and pen, the two went out.
Wu Jiong had patiently dug out all the abalone and removed the dirt, and was now marinating them with salt.
Jian Mo checked it, and happily brought a big pot, intending to cook the abalone.
Xingjiu had nothing to do, so he just stayed and watched.
Jian Mo cooked abalone differently from others. He used a very large pot with a very low fire. After the water boiled, only a little charcoal fire was left, and then he put the abalone in.
Xingjiu was skeptical: "Can it be cooked like this?"
Jian Mo: "Yes, this is called slow cooking. After cooking, the abalone meat is still very tender. When it's cooked later, I'll cut two pieces for you to see and you'll know. If you want to eat more tender meat, you can also use this cooking method."
Xingjiu: "Now that you mention it, it seems to be true. But why do we have to cook it and then dry it? Isn't it different if we dry it directly?"
Jian Mo: "It's different. It's easier to spoil if you dry it directly, but it won't spoil so easily if you cook it and then dry it. And if it's cooked more tenderly, the dried abalone will also be more tender when it's dried. If such a big abalone is soft and tender inside, it will be delicious."
Xingjiu shook his head. He was a little impatient to be asked to make such delicate food.
Jian Mo was very interested in food and didn't feel tired. He looked at Xingjiu and smiled: "We still have to cook for a long time, probably until midnight. That's basically it. If you are tired, go back first and come back tomorrow morning."
Xingjiu: "Okay, I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."
Jian Mo rarely saw the sea, so he planned to go out to the sea with them a few more times to catch more seafood.
Unexpectedly, it was not only Xingjiu who came to see him the next day, but also Xingyi.
Xingyi said to Jian Mo: "There is a beastman who is about to give birth. Didn't you say you wanted to learn about this? I'll take you to see it today."
Jian Mo quickly said: "That's great. We also have many beastmen who are pregnant. I guess
we can use the relevant knowledge soon." Xingyi: "Then let's hurry up and leave."
Jian Mo nodded: "Do you want to take the flying beast with you?"
Xingyi: "No, just let your Wu Jiong go with you."
Everyone packed up and set off quickly.
Jian Mo specially brought his own medical kit, and Xingyi brought many traditional medicinal herbs.
The beastman took them there.
They ran in the morning sun for at least half a morning before they arrived at another tribe.
This tribe is similar to the Star Storage Tribe, the buildings are similar, the beastmen look similar, but the plants in the tribe are slightly different.
Jian Mo took a few quick glances and was soon taken to see the pregnant beastman.
The beastman had a big belly and was a little nervous after seeing them.
Xingyi exchanged a few words with the others and took the stethoscope to examine the beastman.
With the stethoscope, they don't have to listen directly with their heads, which is more convenient than before.
Xingyi motioned for Jian Mo to go over and listen: "Although Yan is pregnant with twins, the risk is relatively high. Come over and listen. You should be able to hear the sounds of the two fetuses inside."
Jian Mo hurried over and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard three heartbeats.
He had recently studied with Xingyi and had a certain understanding of the sounds inside the human body. When he heard the sounds inside Yanjue's body, he hesitated for a moment: "Is this the sound of giving birth?"
The beastman Yanjue seemed very nervous: "I'm giving birth?"
Xingyi: "You should be in labor tonight at the latest."
Yanjue clenched his fists, and his partner was also very nervous watching beside him.
Xingyi: "Don't be afraid, we will protect you, nothing will happen." Yanjue
forced a smile, but his eyes were still full of tension, worry and fear.
Xingyi patted him, as a comfort.
Xingyi's medical skills were fully recognized in this area. He said that Yanjue was about to give birth, and everyone quickly arranged the delivery room.
It was a rare case to study, and Xingyi, with Yanchu's consent, carefully explained to Jianmo the relevant knowledge based on Yanchu's physical condition.
Including how to judge whether it is easy to give birth, whether the fetus is in the right position, what to do if it is not right, what drugs can assist the beastman in giving birth, etc.
Jianmo took out his obstetric forceps and talked about episiotomy - active episiotomy can avoid irregular tearing and facilitate healing.
Xingyi and Xingjiu thought it was really exciting.
Xingyi felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that my other students didn't come."
Jian Mo said: "Isn't Yanjue giving birth so soon? It should still be in time to call them over now, right?"
Xingyi thought about it and said: "You make sense. I'll ask someone to call them now."
They waited in Yanjue's tribe, and soon, Xingyi's other students were carried over by the beastmen.
Xingyi briefed them on the situation, then took them to check on Yanchun and taught them relevant knowledge again.
Jian Mo listened to it again and took careful notes, feeling that he had gained a lot.
Everyone waited until the evening, and Yanchun really went into labor.
Xingyi took them in to help Yanchun deliver the baby.
Yanchun's babies were relatively large, and they were twins, so he had a hard time giving birth.
Jian Mo was helping on the side, and was extremely nervous.
In the end, Yanchun still had a difficult birth, and when the moon came out, the babies were still not out.
Everyone was busy and sweating, and Xingyi and the others had tried every means they could, and when they had no other choice, they could only let Jian Mo come over.
Jian Mo decisively performed an episiotomy on Yan Suan, and carefully pulled the cubs out with forceps.
The cub was a cat cub, and it had been stuck for a long time, so it was not in a good condition.
Xingyi quickly led people to take care of the cub carefully.
It was not possible to use medicine on such a young cub, so they mainly massaged the cub and kept it warm.
Jian Mo had not learned this part before, so he hurried to learn it.
Everyone was busy all night, and it was not until dawn that the conditions of Yan Suan and the two cubs stabilized.
Jian Mo sewed up Yan Suan's wound, and the others gave him medicine.
Everyone looked very tired, especially Xingyi, who was particularly old. After staying up all night, his bags under his eyes were much more obvious.
The people of Yanjue tribe were grateful for their help and specially vacated their house to invite them to stay temporarily.
None of them refused, and after a simple meal, they went to sleep.
Jian Mo didn't even bother to take a shower, and fell asleep with his forehead resting on Wu Jiong's arm.
He didn't sleep for long in the unfamiliar environment. He woke up before the sun was at its highest point, and he was extremely tired when he woke up.
Wu Jiong touched his forehead: "I'll go get the soup."
Jian Mo yawned: "Forget it, I don't want to eat, I'll wash up first. How's Yan Chuan?"
Wu Jiong: "He should be fine. No one came to see you. He might be sleeping."
Jian Mo: "Then I'll go over to see him after I wash up."
After Jian Mo washed up, he went to see Yan Chuan and the two newborn cubs.
The newborn cubs were in good condition, and their hair had dried up. They were two little leopards, one yellow and one black.
Because they were the cubs of orcs and sub-orcs, they were different from the newborn leopards on Earth. They looked bigger and more mature. Now they can open their eyes, and their blue-gray eyes looked very immature.
Perhaps they smelled a stranger, the two little leopards cried out in childish voices, but their voices were still smoky.
Jian Mo touched each of the little leopards with two fingers, and the little leopards slowly calmed down.
Yan Chuan was still sleeping, but his partner was awake.
Yan Chuan's partner greeted Jian Mo: "Jian Mo, the witch doctor."
Jian Mo: "I'll come and see what's going on."
Yan Chuan's partner: "Thank you for your hard work."
Jian Mo: "You're welcome, I'm also learning by watching, and thank you for letting me watch."
The physical fitness of the orcs is very good, and Yan Chuan recovered very well. Even though it was only a short morning, his condition improved visibly.
Jian Mo: "It looks like there's no problem. Just pay attention to the care and he will get better soon."
While Jian Mo was talking, Yan Suan woke up, said hello first, and then said uncomfortably: "My lower body is a little swollen."
Jian Mo comforted him after examination: "It's congestion. It should be healed in two days. If not, I'll think of a solution for you."
Yan Suan nodded and said happily: "Witch Doctor Jian Mo, have you seen my two cubs? They are growing so well."
Jian Mo: "Yes, they are indeed very well, strong and cute."
Yan Suan was even happier: "Thanks to you, when other people gave birth to a cub, their cubs were not as big as theirs."
Jian Mo nodded. This was also the reason why Yan Suan would have a difficult birth.
Although Yan was happy and grateful in his heart, he talked to Jian Mo for a long time before he couldn't stand the fatigue and fell asleep quickly.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong said goodbye and left.
Xing Yi and the others hadn't woken up yet, so Jian Mo and Wu Jiong didn't go to disturb them. Instead, they walked around nearby.
This tribe is similar to the Star Storage Tribe, and the surrounding terrain is also similar. Walking around is all familiar scenery, but there is actually nothing to see.
Jian Mo took a look and just took Wu Jiong for a walk.
However, while walking around, Jian Mo counted the houses and found that such a wealthy tribe did not have much more population than the Riverside Tribe.
Jian Mo had discovered a long time ago that the population size of each tribe was similar. The poor tribes might have a smaller population, but the rich tribes definitely did not have much more population.
The fertility rate of the beastmen and sub-beastmen is too low. Even without any effective contraceptive measures, there are not many families with cubs, and even fewer with two. As for having three or more, Jian Mo seems to have never encountered one so far.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong walked around and went back hand in hand.
Xing Yi and the others finally woke up and went to see Yan Chuan's condition and confirmed that Yan Chuan was fine.
Xingyi asked Jian Mo: "Do you need to remove the stitches for Yanjue's wound?"
Jian Mo waved his hand: "No, the long-tailed beast's tendons will be absorbed by it, so there's no need to remove the stitches." Jian Mo explained
: "For such sensitive parts, I usually use the long-tailed beast's tendons. Removing the stitches is too painful."
Xingyi thought for a moment: "I see you haven't used other threads."
Jian Mo: "The main reason is that the threads I brought this time are all long-tailed beast's tendons. If you use long-tailed beast's tendons in some parts, the wound will easily break, so you have to change to a stronger thread. Otherwise, I usually use tendons, which is more convenient."
Xingyi nodded in understanding.
Yanjue had nothing to do here, so they took the supplies they had collected back.
Jian Mo was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes while on the giant wolf's back.
Unexpectedly, when they were halfway there, Jian Mo heard a familiar voice in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.
He thought he was still dreaming, but when he looked up, he saw a group of familiar fat birds flying in the sky.
The fat birds lowered their heads and shouted, "Brother Jian Mo——"
Jian Mo was startled. The fat birds really came!
