Chapter 198 Don't spoil it too much
After five days of assessment, Jian Mo accepted a total of seventeen students.
Among them, there were five from the Riverside Tribe, the sub-beastmen Ye Luo, Xi Lu, Min Dang, Chen Yi and the beastman Yan Yun, and twelve from other tribes, including Bei Ya, who had a facial injury.
In addition to the five people from the Riverside Tribe, the remaining twelve people from other tribes had to live in the Riverside Tribe for a period of time and study hard with Jian Mo.
The Riverside Tribe had no objection, and the other tribes had no objection either.
Yun Yan also brought people to send a bunch of supplies to the Riverside Tribe, saying that he was grateful for the care of the Riverside Tribe.
The beastman Ya Zheng and the sub-beastman Xi Feng from the Mengshui Tribe successfully became Jian Mo's first batch of students. Their tribe leader Yun Yan was quick to realize the benefits of this. He walked with the wind these two days. If he was not the tribe leader, he would probably sign up for this.
Jian Mo wants to take advantage of late autumn and winter to teach the students as much basic knowledge as possible, cultivate students' ability to treat minor illnesses and deal with emergencies, and then let them return to the tribe to see patients, and come back for training every winter.
This training model will not delay students' daily lives, and it is also convenient for students to understand and absorb.
Everyone's life span is so long that they can slowly improve through years of learning and practice.
They can also become teachers in their tribe, spread relevant knowledge, and allow this area to develop.
Because the talents to be trained are benchmarked against barefoot doctors in rural areas, rather than general practitioners with doctoral degrees, Jian Mo feels that this matter should not be too difficult and the pressure is not too bad.
He likes this model very much.
Teaching and learning are mutually beneficial. He can also fill in the gaps while teaching, record the questions that he doesn't know, and slowly take time to study them, or go to the Xingchu tribe to ask for advice after accumulating a certain amount of knowledge.
After the formal class, Jian Mo was not so strict, and the students quickly became friends with him.
Students have various questions every day, and from the perspective of some questions, Jian Mo even feels that he is testing himself.
"Why do we need to steam and dry the wolfsbane three times? Because wolfsbane is slightly poisonous, the toxicity can be evaporated when it is steamed, and it needs to be dried in the sun for the next steaming. Multiple steaming can better remove the toxicity and retain the medicinal properties."
"Why do we need to use the radix ophiopogonis together with the moss? What we actually use are the small particles condensed from the radix ophiopogonis and the moss. Have you noticed? When the radix ophiopogonis and the moss are boiled together, there is always some black stuff at the bottom, just like mud and sand."
"Why do the fruits of the wormwood tree need to be steamed in a pot after they are rotten, and then added to other medicines after steaming? Because the fruits of the wormwood tree are poisonous when they are raw, they must be steamed, but if they are boiled for too long, they will melt and have no medicinal effect, so they must be steamed directly and then added to the medicinal soup and mixed evenly before use."
"Why can Qingqinghua only be picked in the morning and dried at noon? Can't it be picked in the afternoon and dried in the afternoon? - I don't know, the prescription says so, but I have observed that if you dry Qingqinghua in the hot sun at noon, the color and fragrance of the Qingqinghua will not change, but if you dry it in the afternoon, it will turn black and the fragrance will become heavier. Maybe this is the reason why the medicinal effect is affected."
…
Jian Mo answered all the “100,000 whys” for the day. Seeing that the students had no other questions, he waved his hand to dismiss the students, and then packed up and went home.
When he got home, Jian Mo saw that his cup on the table was filled with cold leaf drink, which also contained honey cubes and other throat-protecting herbs. The temperature of the tea was about the same as body temperature.
He picked up the cup, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and leaned back in his chair.
He felt comfortable.
After Wu Jiong fed Jiujiu and Yingao, he came back and saw Jian Mo slumped on the bench, not moving. He walked over and touched his face with his hand: "Are you so tired?"
Jian Mo grabbed Wu Jiong's hand and put it against his face, sighing: "It's okay, I can get through it if I hold on."
Wu Jiong looked at him worriedly: "Has it come to the point where I have to hold on? Are the students difficult to manage?"
Jian Mo shook his head: "Is it really that difficult?" I found that my basic knowledge is not very solid. In the process of teaching students, I have to find out the gaps and study the things I don’t know, which is quite tiring--"
Jian Mo sighed and said, "I was lazy a while ago. I didn’t study many prescriptions after copying them. Now I can only make up for it."
Wu Jiong used his other hand to massage his head: "Thank you for your hard work. What’s wrong? Can I do it?"
Jian Mo: "You have done what you can do for me. You have been doing all the housework at home recently. I feel a little guilty."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiong exerted a little force with both hands, squeezed his face in the middle, and pouted his mouth: "Are you being polite to me?"
Jian Mo quickly reached out to pull Wu Jiong's hands, and retorted with a smile: "How could it be?"
Wu Jiong looked at him: "No?"
Jian Mo held Wu Jiong's hands: "I feel sorry for you!"
Wu Jiong smiled, lowered his head and kissed Jian Mo: "The housework is not heavy, don't worry. I'm glad that I'm still here when you are so busy."
Jian Mo's students adapted well to the Riverside Tribe. Not only did they quickly become familiar with the people in the Riverside Tribe, but they also became familiar with Jiujiu and Ying Ao.
Jiujiu is so talented in reading people's expressions, it can always feel whether others like it or not at the first moment.
The students are very grateful to Jian Mo, and they also have a natural liking for Jiujiu.
After noticing this, Jiujiu quickly joined in and became friends with the students.
Recently, Jiujiu has been sticking to Jian Mo's students, and the frequency of playing with the cubs has decreased. The cubs even went to Jian Mo to complain angrily, but were comforted by Jian Mo.
Jian Mo was quite busy during this period, and Jiujiu and Yingao were mostly taken care of by Wu Jiong, and he only went to see them occasionally.
On this day, Jian Mo gave the students a holiday, and he had a rare chance to be free, so he went to see Jiujiu before the sun set.
Jiujiu wasn't there, and Yingao wasn't there either, but the food bowls of the two Jius were full, which might be the food that Wu Jiong put there, or they might have brought back a batch of food in advance.
Jian Mo took a look at the food bowl and was immediately attracted by it.
He reached out and flipped through the food bowl - red grass fruit, hornbeam, sweet root, large-leaf pine fruit... God, they might not be able to get so many delicious snacks together during the Chinese New Year.
Jian Mo ran home and called Wu Jiong: "Wu Jiong, where did you go today?"
Wu Jiong had just come back, and after changing his clothes and taking off his fur coat, his strong muscles were exposed, with a thin waist and long legs, full of hormones.
The moment Jian Mo saw him, his voice unconsciously lowered and his speech slowed down. He was no longer so anxious to ask for the truth, but stared at Wu Jiong's body with admiration.
Wu Jiong bent down and picked up the animal skin robe he had taken off. When he passed by Jian Mo, he wrapped his hand around his head and turned it around: "What kind of eyes?"
Jian Mo raised his chin slightly and said with a smile: "The eyes that appreciate beautiful things. Tell me, where did you go today? How did you pick so many good things?"
Wu Jiong thought about what he said and quickly understood: "You mean the food in Jiujiu's bowl? I didn't pick it, your students did."
Jian Mo: "No way? It's a rare day off, so they went to pick food for Jiujiu?"
Wu Jiong: "Maybe Jiujiu asked them to let you go."
Jian Mo asked curiously: "How can they let you go? Can Jiujiu tell people what to eat today in a 'chirp chirp' way, and then let everyone go out?" Help collect?"
Wu Jiong: "It doesn't need to be told. It just takes people to places where there is plenty of food, and people will naturally help it collect. It has been flying outside every day during this period, and it is estimated that it has found many places where food grows."
Jian Mo still found it hard to imagine: "Then it is too smart, and it is rare that everyone cooperates with it?"
Wu Jiong: "When I came back today, it took people to Mengshui Tribe to collect ruby fruits. It is estimated that it is still there now. Do you want to go and have a look? If you go, we will pick some too."
Ruby fruits are similar to raspberries, but they are bigger and sweeter, and they taste very good. The only trouble is that the ruby fruit vines have short and hard thorns. You have to be careful when picking them, otherwise your hands will be easily pricked.
Jian Mo said without hesitation: "Go, go!"
Wu Jiong smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him: "Let's go."
Wu Jiong changed back to his beast form and rushed outside with Jian Mo.
The giant wolf ran very fast. Jian Mo hugged his neck tightly, feeling the wind blowing in his face, and felt very happy.
They ran through the forest and the wilderness and ran to the territory of the Mengshui tribe in one breath.
Generally speaking, they would not go to other tribes' territories to gather and hunt, but it didn't matter if they just picked some wild fruits. When they saw the people of the Mengshui tribe later, they just had to tell them.
Before they arrived at the place, Jian Mo heard the cheerful sound of "Chirp Chirp" coming from the front. It sounded like Chirp was acting coquettishly, and it was deliberately acting coquettishly with a pinched voice. Jian Mo
stretched his neck to look forward. After looking for a long time, he finally saw Chirp standing on the other side of the forest.
In addition to Jiujiu, there were many other people on the other side of the forest.
At this time, everyone was holding a backpack, stretching out their fingers, carefully picking big and round berries that were almost as big as rubies from the gaps between the thorns and putting them into the backpack.
The skin of the berries was very thin, and they couldn't help but break the berries when picking them. The juice splashed out, exuding the unique sweet aroma of berries.
Jiujiu became even more excited when he smelled the smell, and jumped around: "Jiujiu!"
Someone saw Jiujiu like this, so they threw the fruit high up and threw it directly to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu opened his mouth wide to catch it, and he caught it one by one accurately. After eating it, he ate again, and then people fed him.
The giant wolf brought Jian Mo over with a lot of noise. Everyone heard it and turned their heads in unison.
Jiujiu also turned around and jumped happily when he saw Jian Mo and the others. His eyes were round and bright, and he tried to rub Jian Mo and the giant wolf with his furry head.
Jian Mo was sitting on the giant wolf's back and couldn't stand the heavy head, so he quickly pushed Jiujiu's cheek to stop it from rubbing against him.
Everyone asked, "Teacher, why are you here?"
Jian Mo: "I heard that you were picking fruits here, so I thought I had nothing to do, so I came over to pick some."
When everyone heard him say this, they pulled each other aside and greeted him warmly, "Teacher, you guys come over here. This year's ruby fruits are ripe and not sour at all."
As they spoke, someone gave Jian Mo and the others a handful of ruby fruits.
Jian Mo stuffed half of it into Wu Jiong's mouth, and then pinched another one and threw it into his mouth. Instantly, the sweet juice and the unique aroma of berries spread on the tip of his tongue: "It tastes really good, not sour at all."
"It was Jiujiu who brought us here. I don't know how it found such a good bunch of ruby berries in the jungle."
"Maybe because it likes to eat them and usually pays attention to these fruits."
Jian Mo: "It's possible. It's very smart when it comes to eating."
Everyone laughed: "Yeah."
Jian Mo also laughed: "It's a rare day of rest. I thought you would have a good rest in the tribe, but I didn't expect you to come out to pick fruits. Did Jiujiu find you to come out? Next time it looks for you, ignore it."
"Who can resist Jiujiu? It looks at you with its big, round eyes, and it bites your clothes. Its voice is soft, sweet, and coquettish. I can't resist it."
"The fruit Jiujiu found is very good. It would be nice for us to come out with it to relax."
"Teacher, we are not tired. If we were tired, we would not come out by ourselves. Don't worry."
Seeing their smiling faces, Jian Mo patted Jiujiu: "Okay, just have fun."
Jiujiu was not afraid of being caught at all, and tilted his head to be cute: "Jiujiu!"
Ruby fruit has a lot of thorns. Jiujiu is so big and his claws are not flexible. He should not be able to pick the fruit successfully. It would be much more convenient to bring someone over.
Everyone picked fruit and fed Jiujiu at the same time.
After eating, Jiujiu would rub against the person who fed it and chirp twice.
The person who fed it had a smile on his face, and he looked like a silly father.
Jian Mo watched for a while, and felt that he could not bear to watch it anymore, so he pulled Wu Jiong to the side to pick fruits.
After picking all the ruby fruits in this area, Jiujiu started calling again, with two big eyes, and took a few steps to fly into the sky, then circled in the sky, motioning everyone to follow it.
No one complained.
So everyone started again and followed Jiujiu.
Jian Mo was very curious about what was ahead, so he followed the team with Wu Jiong.
They ran forward for about half an hour, and Jiujiu led them to an open space.
Because of autumn, the bushes and vines in this open space had withered, and there were yellow and white vines and leaves everywhere.
Jiujiu stopped and squeezed left and right with his butt to make a path between the vines and bushes, then he dug a few times.
Everyone looked at Jiujiu and soon saw that under the withered vines and branches, there were fresh green shoots emerging.
Jiujiu raised her head and said, "Jiujiu!"
Jian Mo looked closely and said, "Oh, a piece of green grass shoots!"
This kind of green grass shoots is a bit like asparagus, very fresh and tender, and tastes sweet. It is delicious whether eaten raw or made into a dish, or even in hot pot, but it is hard to find.
Occasionally, you can see a few scattered green grass shoots in the wild. When you pick them, they are mostly used as a side dish or stir-fried with bacon, and rarely as a main dish.
Unexpectedly, Jiujiu actually found a piece of green grass.
In front of the delicious food, everyone walked unceremoniously into the dead branches and leaves, pulled away the branches and leaves above, and carefully pried out the shoots with a stick.
There are relatively few grass sprouts above the ground, and two-thirds of the stems are still underground. It would be a waste to only pick the parts above the ground.
No wonder Jiujiu didn't pick them by himself, but brought them here to pick them.
What a clever Jiujiu.
After they finished picking this batch of grass sprouts, Jiujiu checked nearby and found that there were no leftover grass sprouts, so he took them back with satisfaction.
Jian Mo's students originally wanted to give all the ruby fruits and grass sprouts they picked to Jiujiu, but Jian Mo firmly refused: "These ruby fruits and grass sprouts are delicious. You can take them back and eat them. Don't give everything to Jiujiu. It has enough food already."
Jiujiu stared at the side with two big eyes. Jian Mo patted its butt, and it had to bark, meaning that everyone should be polite.
Everyone smiled and waved: "Thank you, teacher, thank you, chief Wu Jiong, and thank you Jiujiu."
Jian Mo: "You guys go back, we'll go back too."
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong took Jiujiu back, and gave it some of the food they picked.
When they arrived in front of Jiujiu's nest, Jian Mo looked at the food bowl again.
Jiujiu's food bowl was full of delicious food. In comparison, the food that Ying Ao, who had just returned, brought back was more ordinary.
It's rare that the quality of food for the green Jiujiu can surpass that of the big brother Ying Ao. It's incredible.
Jian Mo watched for a long time, and said to Wu Jiong with emotion: "This is really - some Jiujiu can use tools, and some Jiujiu can use tool people."
