Chapter 197 Screening
More and more people who were learning medicine came to the Riverside Tribe.
On this day, Jian Mo went to find Qing Kuang and his friends with a large pile of food on his back.
There were so many food on his back that his waist was bent.
Qing Kuan helped to take down the basket: "Oh my God, why are you carrying such heavy things here? Is the chief not at home? Why don't you ask him to carry it? Or if you meet some orcs on the way, you can just ask them to carry it for you."
Jian Mo wiped his sweat: "It's okay, it's so close, I can get there in a few steps. These ingredients are left here for you, you can use them when cooking."
Qing Kuan: "We have ingredients here, and every night when the tribe distributes the ingredients, they will reserve a part for us."
Jian Mo waved his hand: "This is my personal gift. There are a lot of seasonings in it, which should be useful when cooking."
It is a good thing for the Riverside Tribe that so many people come to the Riverside Tribe to study.
After the formal training, everyone's board and lodging will be contracted by the Riverside Tribe, and they will eat the public ingredients of the Riverside Tribe, and no one needs to pay for the supplies.
Jian Mo knew that this was the decision of the tribe, and he still felt a little guilty, so he specially brought the ingredients here today, hoping that everyone would eat better.
Qing Kuang patted Jian Mo on the shoulder and sighed: "You are so stubborn."
Jian Mo smiled: "It's okay, then I'll go back first, I still have to feed Jiujiu and Yingao."
Qing Kuang: "Go back, don't send food next time, if you really need anything, I will tell the tribe."
Jian Mo nodded, waved, and walked back.
When Jian Mo was walking on the road, he saw a group of young people fighting on the field over at the arena.
Danguan and Jiuyin are competing now. Danguan, whose ringworm is much better, also came here to study. He only arrived yesterday, but he didn't expect to end today.
Jian Mo looked at it from a distance for a while and felt that it was still very powerful.
The people watching around supported both sides, and were now shouting to encourage Danguan and Jiuyin.
With so many people coming from the riverside tribe, it became particularly lively.
Jian Mo had expected it and was not too surprised to see people fighting in the arena.
It's good to expend some energy.
Jian Mo's side was quickly prepared, and the first day's assessment officially began.
This is a total of 327 people who came to the Riverside Tribe, plus the 14 people from the Riverside Tribe, a total of 341 people, of which only 72 were orcs, and the rest were sub-orcs.
Jian Mo agreed with everyone that they would only accept students after they had passed the assessment, and everyone had no objection.
Today was the official assessment, and Jian Mo divided them into ten groups. He took them up the mountain and took a notebook in his hand, ready to score them according to their individual performance.
Qing Kuang and Wu Jiong served as Jian Mo's assistants.
Seeing so many people, Qingkuan felt a little dizzy: "Do you remember all these people?"
Jian Mo shook the notebook in his hand and whispered: "Take a pen and write down everyone's deeds, then I will remember them."
Qingkuan: "There are too many people. If we hadn't held a hunting convention, we wouldn't be able to entertain so many people." Jian
Mo: "It's okay. Everyone doesn't know the hardships of studying medicine, they only see the sense of accomplishment of being a witch doctor. In two days at most, I guarantee that more than half of the people here will be gone."
Qingkuan looked suspiciously at the people queuing in front of him and nodded.
Jian Mo led the group up the mountain, and after everyone gathered, he picked some herbs and explained to them: "... This herb is called Yangbai, which can clear away heat and detoxify. You see, its characteristics are long and pointed leaves, the back of the leaves is white, the front is dark green, and the roots are like cakes, all thin roots."
As Jian Mo explained, he distributed the Yangbai he had collected to let everyone take turns to look at it carefully.
Jian Mo: "Today we are going to pick this herb. Take advantage of the best medicinal properties in autumn, pick it and dry it, and it can be used for a year. It can also be picked in other seasons, but it is best to stockpile it in autumn."
Everyone nodded, observing and writing down this knowledge.
Jian Mo: "When we collect herbs, we need to be careful to only collect those herbs that have matured, and not to collect seedlings. In the process of collecting herbs, try to collect half and keep the other half, and don't collect all of them. We witch doctors have a saying, 'If you don't keep the herbs after collecting them, the medicine will not work.' If you don't have awe for the herbs, the treatment may not be effective."
Everyone said seriously that they understood.
Jian Mo continued: "The first item of today's assessment is collecting herbs. I will score everyone based on the process of collecting herbs. Let's go into the mountains to collect herbs."
Soon, the people Jian Mo brought out were divided into groups of three or two or went into the mountains alone.
There was no danger in this area, and Jian Mo also asked Jiujiu and Yingao to patrol in the sky. Therefore, when everyone went into the mountains, they did not follow them, but rested outside.
Jiujiu and Yingao have been trained. If someone is seriously injured, they will shout to warn, and then it won't be too late for Jian Mo and his friends to rush over.
Qing Kuang took out a water bag and poured water for Jian Mo: "After listening to you talk for a long time, I feel that my saliva has dried up. It's really not easy to teach something."
Jian Mo's voice was a little hoarse: "Fortunately, everyone is quite cooperative, not interrupting, and not talking much, otherwise it would be more difficult to teach."
Qing Kuang shook his head: "Anyway, I don't have that patience."
Jian Mo and his friends rested at the foot of the mountain until the sun was about to set, and people came back one after another.
Jian Mo took a pen and paper and gave scores to those who came back.
Some people have poor memory. They only remember one kind of medicinal material, and the medicine they picked is not correct at all.
Some people are very impatient and pick all the herbs raw, with many roots and leaves broken.
Some people pick all the herbs they see, regardless of size.
They are all unqualified.
While Jian Mo was grading people, he thought in his heart that Qingkuang's worry would not happen, not to mention in two days, more than half of the people could be eliminated today.
While grading people, Jian Mo also asked if they were injured, and asked Qingkuang to prepare medicine for the injured.
The injured people were varied, some were scratched by leaves and branches, some accidentally fell, and some were bitten by poisonous insects.
Although the beastmen and sub-beastmen were used to it and didn't mind being injured, Jian Mo would still treat them and deduct points as appropriate.
There are certain dangers in going up the mountain to collect herbs and practice medicine, and careless people are definitely not allowed to do it.
Jian Mo led people to work in the mountains for a day. After returning, they did not rest, but had to process, wash and dry the herbs.
This is not because Jian Mo deliberately tortured everyone, but as a witch doctor, many times you have to quickly process the herbs while they are fresh, and you can't be lazy.
Jian Mo plans to bring people in, so naturally he has to show the situation of the witch doctor profession.
When it was busy until the evening, everyone finished their meal, and Jian Mo took a notebook to summarize around the campfire, and asked everyone to take turns to express their thoughts.
Many people worked all day today and found that witch doctors were not what they imagined. It was not so interesting to learn, and being a witch doctor was not so impressive.
Jian Mo used the example of a witch doctor who passed the imperial examinations to explain why the requirements for being a witch doctor are so high, what other high requirements there will be in the future, and what the consequences will be if these high requirements are not met.
In just one day, the number of students who wanted to study decreased by two-thirds, including elimination and automatic withdrawal.
The next day, when Jian Mo asked everyone to gather again, there were only 113 people left.
Jian Mo said to Qing Kuang, "What do you think? I said don't worry."
Qing Kuang: "I didn't expect that you usually look so smiling, but you are quite strict with students."
Jian Mo: "Of course, human life is at stake, so you have to be strict."
When Jian Mo eliminated people, he didn't look at their tribe or previous friendship. For example, A Hu and Dan Guan were eliminated on the first day, and most of the people in the Riverside Tribe were also eliminated.
Many people may have felt the cruelty of the exam for the first time. I hope it didn't leave a psychological shadow on them. Jian Mo thought.
Qing Kuang asked, "What are we going to do today?"
Jian Mo: "Still collecting herbs, but there are a lot more things to recite. After all, being a student requires certain memory and comprehension abilities."
Qing Kuang raised his eyebrows: "Teach and test at the same time, and those who fail the test will be eliminated?"
Jian Mo: "Almost."
Today, three people led more than a hundred people up the mountain, and things were relatively easy.
However, after explaining for a long time, Jian Mo's voice was still hoarse.
When it was time for the test in the afternoon, the students lined up in front of Jian Mo one by one to recite the herbs they collected and their effects. Jian Mo's voice became even hoarse because of the explanation and the test.
Of course, the students were not much better. Many of them were sweating profusely during the test, and said that they were not so nervous even when facing the beasts.
Today, Jian Mo did not eliminate so many students, but there were more students who voluntarily withdrew.
Everyone further realized that being a witch doctor was much more difficult than they had imagined, and that hunting and gathering were more comfortable, so those who were not so determined voluntarily withdrew under Jian Mo's persuasion.
Jian Mo rewrote the student register, and there were only about fifty students left, which was the number of students in a class.
Jian Mo asked Qing Kuang in a hoarse voice: "How is it? Are you not stressed now?"
Qing Kuang poured him some water: "What kind of stress can I have? You should look at yourself. You see your voice is hoarse."
Jian Mo: "It's okay. I was not used to talking too much before. It's normal for my voice to be hoarse after talking so much all of a sudden. It will be fine tomorrow."
Qing Kuang: "Make some medicine for yourself, or I'm afraid you won't be able to speak tomorrow."
Jian Mo smiled: "No, there are so few people, it's okay."
Many students who were eliminated or voluntarily quit did not intend to return to the tribe for the time being. They wanted to see who Jian Mo would accept in the end, and they also wanted to stay in the Riverside Tribe to play for a few days.
Wu Jiong and Dejiang were quite moved when they saw this situation.
Most of the people who came this time, whether they were orcs or sub-orcs, were positive and had good overall abilities.
Wu Jiong had carefully observed them when Jian Mo was taking the exam, and was deeply impressed by some of them.
Seeing that they were not going to take the exam, Wu Jiong found people one by one and asked them to be the teachers of the cubs and teach them one or two classes.
Everyone was flattered by Wu Jiong's invitation:
"Chief Wu Jiong, are you sure you are looking for me? I am better at making traps, but my skills are not at the top level."
"I can only recognize birds, but I am not good at beasts. Do you want to learn such an unpopular thing?"
"As for fighting, I can only wrestle on the ground. If the beast is particularly large, I can't do it."
Wu Jiong answered one by one in a deep voice:
"Mian Ya, the traps you made are particularly suitable for catching small prey. It is not difficult to make. It is suitable for novices and cubs."
"Heng Wu, you are the person with the strongest ability to recognize birds that I have ever seen. You are the only one who can judge the emotions of birds based on their calls and then catch them."
"Jiang Xie, your ground wrestling is just right for the kids to get started. With you teaching them, they will definitely learn a lot."
Everyone who received the invitation was very happy and basically did not refuse: "Chief Wu Jiong, if you think it's possible, then there is no problem here."
Someone else asked: "Chief Wu Jiong, can we also bring the kids in the tribe to attend the class?"
Wu Jiong: "Of course you can, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep up with the progress. I suggest that the tribes that want to send kids to attend the class can First send the adults to learn, and then open courses specifically for you kids in your tribe."
Hearing this suggestion, the person asking the question was surprised: "Then we won't be polite."
Wu Jiong nodded: "You're welcome. If you think it's too tiring for a tribe to open courses, you can also do what we did and unite several nearby tribes to open courses. That would be more convenient and easier to operate."
