Chapter 180 Promise
The huge tiger cat was lying on the ground, and it looked no different from a kitten—except that it tightly covered its belly with its big furry tail.
Jian Mo let him spread his limbs, crawled all over him, and listened carefully to the sounds in every place.
The tiger cat looked at Jian Mo's frowning face, and was so scared that he meowed and asked carefully, "Doctor Jian Mo, how is it?"
Jian Mo put away the stethoscope, "Your symptoms are indeed those of tinea pedis, I'll give you some medicine."
The tiger cat put away its claws and stood up, "Great!"
Jian Mo reminded, "It may hurt a little."
The tiger cat ran beside Jian Mo lightly, "I'm not afraid of pain, I'm just afraid that my hair will never grow again!"
Jian Mo smiled, "Then I'll get you some medicine." Jian Mo
remembered Dan Guan specifically, and when he came back, he also asked Xing Jiu and the others for the black knife grass and white soil for tinea pedis.
He searched in the basket and found two kinds of medicine. He weighed them carefully and planned to mix the powder.
The Xingchu tribe had a small scale that looked like a scale, which was more accurate, so Jian Mo brought it back with him.
Dan Guan turned back into human form and watched Jian Mo weigh the medicine with the delicate small scale. His eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Jian Mo glanced at him and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to use a stone mortar to grind it into powder, and then mix it with water."
Dan Guan: "Are there any precautions when grinding it into powder? If not, I'll
do it. I'm strong and not afraid of getting tired!" Jian Mo: "No, just grind it finely. I'll leave it to you. I'll go get the cotton cloth."
Dan Guan was very active in grinding the medicine for himself. After grinding the herbs and medicinal soil, he sieved them with a small sieve.
Jian Mo saw that he was very meticulous. After checking it once, he carefully mixed it with thermos, then applied it to his bald spot and wrapped it with cotton cloth.
Dan Guan's body was wrapped in a mess, not very beautiful, but he was very happy in his heart: "Doctor Jian Mo, how long will it take for the medicine to heal?"
Jian Mo: "It will be effective in about ten days. If there is no effect after ten days, we will try another medicine."
Dan Guan prayed to God: "No, it will definitely be effective."
Jian Mo: "I hope so too."
After wrapping the medicine, Jian Mo went to wash his hands and invited Dan Guan: "Our tribe is going to have a bonfire party tonight, you can stay in our tribe and play."
Dan Guan: "I saw it. When I came over, they were cutting meat in the open space. They said they were going to make meatballs for grilling and hot pot."
Jian Mo didn't expect that they had prepared hot pot: "Then you have to stay and try it. The hot pot in our tribe is delicious."
Dan Guan: "Okay, I'll go to help."
Jian Mo also went to help after washing his hands.
It was a little late, and when he arrived, everyone was already frying the hot pot base.
Jian Mo smelled the strong spicy aroma and couldn't help but ask: "Are we putting so many chilies in today's hot pot?"
Qing Kuang turned around and said: "Of course we are. We are used to eating spicy food. It will feel tasteless without so many chilies." Jian
Mo reminded: "The hot pot will get spicier as it cooks, so we should put less."
Qing Kuang: "Don't worry, we also have clear soup pot and sour soup pot here. The clear soup pot is not spicy at all, and the sour soup pot is only a little spicy."
Jian Mo looked at the soup base they brought and didn't care: "That's fine."
Zhou Fu called Jian Mo not far away: "Jian Mo , come over here and take a look, we are making fish balls and meatballs, can you help to season them? "
Jian Mo went over and saw that they had indeed picked out the fish and animal meat and were making meatballs: "Actually, there is no need to add any seasoning, we will put them in the hot pot later."
Zhou Fu: "You can season them too, the old people want to eat clear soup pot, and the meatballs will not taste good without seasoning."
Jian Mo: "Then I'll do it."
They already have a rich variety of seasonings here, including various spice powders, mushroom powder and shellfish powder, as well as basic chili powder and salt powder.
Jian Mo added a base flavor to the meatballs, and when he saw them putting the meatballs into the boiling water to cook, he praised, "Tonight is such a feast."
Zhou Fu: "Of course, this is a hot pot specially made to celebrate your return."
Jian Mo: "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Fu turned around and smiled, "You're welcome, we also want to take this opportunity to have a big meal."
As the dusk gradually deepened, the leaves on the mountain were dyed dark yellow, and the deep red bonfire was lit. The firewood crackled and emitted the unique smell of cooking smoke.
Everyone put the huge pottery pot on the bonfire and let the soup in the pot slowly steam.
As for the barbecue, everyone did not plan to prepare a stone slab separately, but wanted to grill it directly over the bonfire as they ate.
The cubs who were in class at the Riverside Tribe slowly went back, and the people who hunted and gathered at the Riverside Tribe also came back one after another.
The soup in the earthenware pot was boiling, bubbling with bubbles, and the big bones and bird meat that added flavor to the soup were slowly cooked.
Qing Kuan asked someone to count the number of people. If everyone had arrived, it was almost time to eat.
Jian Mo ignored others. Seeing Wu Jiong coming back, he ran over to him and asked, "Where did you go today? Why did you get up so early? I thought you would sleep a little longer."
Wu Jiong took out the picked berries from his bag and handed them to Jian Mo, whispering, "There are so many fat prey in autumn. I took people out hunting."
Jian Mo looked at the dried berries wrapped in leaves, stuffed one into Wu Jiong's mouth, and threw one into his own mouth, "Is hunting still more comfortable?"
Wu Jiong: "Move my arms and legs."
Most of the prey that Wu Jiong and his friends had hunted today had been cut into slices and sent over.
Jian Mo pulled Wu Jiong to sit in front of a sour soup pot, planning to eat the sour soup pot first - the sour soup pot was not that spicy, so they could eat more, and then try the red soup pot after eating.
Ye Luo and Xi Lu also sat in front of the sour soup pot.
Everyone saw Jian Mo and Wu Jiong, and then asked them about their experiences this time out.
Jian Mo didn't mind, and ate the meat while eating slowly.
Ban Ming and other young people squeezed over and said longingly that they would go out with them next time.
Everyone was chatting, and someone started singing.
The singing danced on the treetops, which was very special.
Jian Mo ate and listened, and a smile appeared on his face when he heard the familiar epic poem.
Wu Jiong asked: "Does it remind you of the time when we discussed the epic poem in Xingchu Tribe?"
Jian Mo raised his fruit wine and clinked his glass with him: "You guessed it right."
Many people were so full of food that they stood up to dance.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong sat and watched everyone dance, and their smiles became even more intense.
Everyone ate, played and chatted until the late night, and then gradually dispersed.
Jian Mo lay on Wu Jiong's back, his hot cheeks pressed against his neck, his eyes bright: "Why do I feel that this year's fruit wine is better than last year's?"
Wu Jiong: "This year we used the starter left over from the previous fruit wine, so it fermented better and purer."
Jian Mo: "I can feel it. I'm a little dizzy."
Wu Jiong held his butt with one hand and touched his forehead with the other hand: "Does it hurt somewhere?"
Jian Mo shook his head: "No, it's quite comfortable."
He shook his head and rubbed Wu Jiong's neck, making Wu Jiong's body hot. He whispered: "Let's go back early to take a shower and go to bed." After
returning home, the two did not fall asleep immediately, but found the ointment and used it up.
Jian Mo lay on the quilt, feeling lazy and soft: "Let's go to the Mengshui tribe to exchange some ointment?"
Wu Jiong raised his eyes: "Huh?"
Jian Mo covered his eyes with his arms: "Our ointment is very useful, but their ointment is also unique, it's good to switch."
Wu Jiong came over and kissed him: "Okay."
Jian Mo went to bed when it was almost dawn outside, and when he woke up, he got up late again.
He simply carried a hoe to the field.
They haven't been back for a long time, and the crops in the field are almost ripe.
The flour grass is almost yellow, and the various stems are also swollen, and they can be harvested at any time.
Jian Mo checked and decided that the flour grass could be cut after a while, and the various stems could be dug now. It just so happens
that they have almost finished their food, so they are going to dig some tubers to supplement it.
As for the vines, they can just feed the tutu beasts and the long-tailed birds.
Jian Mo was working in the field. He was a little tired and worked slowly.
Fortunately, it was just his own work, so he didn't care much about efficiency, so it didn't matter if he worked slowly.
The kids in the tribe were playing in the open space, and when they saw him working, they ran over to join him.
Jian Mo blocked him for a moment: "You guys go play? I can do it by myself."
Jiang Xing: "We want to do it with you. Brother Jian Mo, can you tell us about the story on the road?"
Jian Mo looked at Jiang Xing, who was becoming more and more like a teenager, and smiled: "I was drooling yesterday, do you still want to listen?"
Jiang Xing said seriously: "We won't get tired of listening to it a few more times."
The other cubs next to him: "That's right!"
Jian Mo: "Then I'll tell you about the sea."
Jian Mo led the cubs, while talking about the sea, he dug out the mature stems.
After digging the stems, you can plant a crop of grass to nourish the land, so that the chirping birds don't have to go far away to forage in winter.
Plant this land again next spring, the fertilizer in the ground will be more sufficient, and the crops grown will be better.
While Jian Mo and his team were working, a group of beastmen ran towards them. It was obvious that they were heading straight for their riverside tribe.
He Feng stretched his little neck and said, "They are from the Haizuo tribe."
The little fox Bai Lu supported himself on the ground with his hind paws and stood up with his front paws hooked in front of him, "They also brought a lot of prey."
The Haizuo tribe was a mixed tribe with people of all kinds of beasts. Jian Mo took a while to identify them. He didn't expect the little cubs to have such sharp eyes.
Jiang Xing said, "They must have recovered from their illness after seeing Fen Hui, and they came to thank you, brother Jian Mo."
Jian Mo: "It's possible. Let's go and take a look."
Jian Mo took the cubs to the river to wash their hands, and then went to see the big group.
As expected, the people of the Haizuo tribe rushed towards him. When they saw him, they greeted him excitedly, "Doctor Jian Mo, Fenhui's illness has been cured. We came here to thank you."
Jian Mo: "Fenhui has already thanked me. You are welcome."
The people of the Haizuo tribe: "Yes, how can we not thank you for saving our lives? These are the supplies we brought. Please keep them, Doctor Jian Mo."
Most of the people of the Riverside Tribe went out to hunt and gather. In addition to the patrolling beastmen, there were only a few old people left in the tribe.
Jian Mo took the people of the Haizuo tribe home to drink tea and chat.
The kids were also there. The class was not about to start, so Jian Mo did not rush them away. He let them listen to the class from the side so that they could accumulate some experience in dealing with people.
The people of the Haizuo tribe were very curious about their itinerary and asked about it.
Fenhui went out with them, and actually knew a lot of things. It
's just that Fenhui spent most of his time recuperating from illness, unlike them, who traveled to various tribes.
The people of the Haizuo tribe were particularly interested in planting, and specifically inquired about the content about planting in the outside tribes.
Jian Mo said that the Chuxing tribe was close to the sea, and the marine products were particularly rich, so there was no need to plant. The planting there was not as developed as here, and the people of the Haizuo tribe were a little disappointed.
However, the wonderful world outside still attracted them, and they also said that when they were free, they would go out with them to see more of the outside world.
After chatting for an afternoon, when Jian Mo sent them back, he specifically asked them to take the supplies back with them: "You know me, I have my own principles, just give me as much supplies as I need, you're welcome."
The people of the Haizuo tribe couldn't persuade Jian Mo, so they had to agree gratefully.
Jian Mo and his friends came back, and all the tribes came to visit.
They exchanged some creams with the Mengshui tribe, and exchanged some pearls and mother-of-pearl with the Dianxin tribe, which was good at making jewelry. They also drew jewelry patterns and asked them to help make a batch of jewelry.
In addition, Jian Mo also used the new medical skills he learned to treat some patients and relieve their pain.
Days passed like this, and when Jian Mo found time again, it was another ten days later.
Jian Mo couldn't hold back in the tribe, so he grabbed Wu Jiong early in the morning and said, "Come on, let's go out and collect. Drinking tea and chatting in the tribe every day, my muscles are almost falling off."
Wu Jiong: "Where do you want to go?"
Jian Mo: "Do you remember where the Kunzhi tree grows? Today we are going to collect the sap of the Kunzhi tree."
The leaves of the Kunzhi tree were collected by Lian Kejiao and his friends. After Jian Mo collected them, he felt that they were not very useful, so he studied them for a while and then didn't take them seriously.
This time when he went to the Xingchu tribe, Jian Mo found that there were several prescriptions that used the sap of the Kunzhi tree to make plasters, so he wanted to try it.
Summer and autumn are the best time to collect sap. After a while, the leaves of the Kunzhi tree will have fallen, and the medicinal properties will change.
Wu Jiong: "Remember, there are some herbs and nuts there. We can pick them together."
Jian Mo jumped onto his back and hugged his neck: "Are there any mushrooms there? Many kinds of mushrooms in autumn are delicious. We can pick some and stew them with long-tailed birds."
Wu Jiong held Jian Mo: "Yes. If not, we can take a detour."
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong made up their minds to set off.
Jiujiu saw them carrying the backpacks in the nest, and Jiujiu ran out, following them and refusing to leave.
Ying Ao saw it and ran out too.
So, this time, collecting tree sap changed from a world of two people to a collective action of a family of four.
Jian Moduo brought out a few backpacks and said, "Since Jiujiu and Yingao are going too, let's pick more things."
Jiujiu jumped twice, lay down, and waited for Jian Mo to climb onto its back: "Jiujiu."
Jian Mo waved his hands and said with a smile, "You guys fly by yourselves today. I want to walk on the ground with Wu Jiong."
Jiujiu didn't understand, so he called twice again, shaking his head to urge Jian Mo to go faster.
Yingao saw it from the side, held Jiujiu's wings in his mouth, and dragged it forward: "Jiujiu."
Jian Mo also pushed Jiujiu's big butt: "You guys fly."
Jiujiu reluctantly followed Yingao for a few steps, and flew into the sky with the help of the wind.
Wu Jiong turned back into a giant wolf.
Jian Mo ran to the familiar wolf's back, inexplicably excited, and climbed to the front and stretched out his hand to touch the giant wolf's thick ears.
The giant wolf subconsciously flicked its ears in his palm, which felt very soft and sticky, and Jian Mo couldn't help but smile.
They ran in the autumn colors, ran across the shallow river, ran across the foot of the mountain, ran through one forest after another, and went straight to the place where Lian Kunzhi grew up.
The giant wolf was very familiar with everything in the territory of the Riverside Tribe.
They ran to the place, took out the wooden barrel, inserted the wooden nails into the tree, and began to cut the bark to collect the sap.
The dark green thick sap takes some time to accumulate. They installed wooden barrels on each tree, and then went to collect other herbs, wild vegetables, fruits and mushrooms, and came back in the afternoon.
When they had almost collected everything, Jiujiu ran over and bit Jian Mo's sleeve: "Jiujiu?"
Jian Mo understood: "Jiujiu, are you going to take us somewhere?"
No wonder he was so active today.
Jiujiu stretched out his neck: "Jiujiu."
This time Jian Mo did not refuse, and climbed directly onto Jiujiu's back, calling Wu Jiong to come over: "Jiujiu, then we will listen to you."
Jiujiu waited for Jian Mo and Wu Jiong to sit down, ran a few steps quickly, flew up, and turned back to call Ying Ao: "Jiu——"
Ying Ao quietly followed Jiujiu.
Jiujiu flew for a while, and Jian Mo looked at the familiar scenery below and was surprised: "Isn't this the alpine meadow where Jiujiu took us to pick mushrooms? There are mushrooms here?"
Jiujiu shouted: "Jiujiu!"
Jian Mo smiled and remembered the time when Jiujiu took them to pick mushrooms. Although it was only a few months ago, it has become a part of beautiful memories.
They landed on the ground and searched in the meadow. After a while, they really found mushrooms.
These mushrooms are not the same kind as the ones we picked last time, but they are also the type with thick flesh and delicious taste.
Jian Mo unceremoniously pulled Wu Jiong to pick all the mushrooms that could be picked.
After picking these mushrooms, they were put in the sun to dry. Whether they are stewed with meat or chopped into stuffing in winter, they taste very good.
Jiujiu was running around, pulling the grass excitedly, and pulling out mushrooms to show them.
In contrast, Ying Ao was much calmer. When he saw the mushrooms, he directly used his claws to dig them into a pile and waited for Jian Mo and the others to collect them. He was very well behaved.
Jian Mo was picking mushrooms: "Jiujiu and Yingao are so well behaved. Our life is so happy."
Wu Jiong patted him on the back and whispered: "People here also lived like this in previous years. I feel happy only because of you."
Jian Mo looked up and smiled: "I will always be with you."
Wu Jiong: "I'm afraid one day you will go back."
Jian Mo didn't even think about it, looked into Wu Jiong's eyes and said seriously: "No, even if I have to go back, I will take you back with me, not alone."
Wu Jiong: "Don't you miss your old home?"
Jian Mo smiled: "Yes, but I already have a partner. No matter where you live, the most important thing is to live with your partner."
Wu Jiong came over and hugged him.
Jian Mo quietly let Wu Jiong hug him for a while before he reached out and patted his back: "Relax a little, I can't breathe."
Wu Jiong rubbed his hair with his chin: "Yeah."
Jian Mo hugged him back: "When we first got together, we agreed that we would grow old together. Besides, we have Jiujiu and Yingao now, right?"
Jiujiu didn't understand anything beside him, but heard his own name and shouted: "Jiu!"
This Jiujiu can be said to have a very strong presence. Wu Jiong pushed Jiujiu aside, his eyes full of smiles: "Okay."
