Chapter 26 Honey Sparrow
In fact, the beastmen rarely transform into beast forms to fight in front of the sub-beastmen, as they seem to think it is not very majestic. It was a coincidence that they arrived
today. When they finished fighting and came to their senses, they felt a little embarrassed. Ah Hu walked back slowly with his four paws on the ground, his ears turned into airplanes and pressed back, his eyes looked down, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Jian Mo." Jian Mo nodded: "Turn around, let me see." Ah Hu was even more embarrassed, but he still turned around obediently, holding his tail to let Jian Mo see his butt. Jian Mo was very calm. A big cat's butt was placed in front of him. As a normal Homo sapiens, it was difficult for him to have any special thoughts. There were several blood spots on Ah Hu's butt, all red, swollen and inflamed. After Jian Mo checked, he found that there were some debris wrapped in his wound. The orcs' physique was too good. The wound they suffered last night had healed on the surface, but the debris was wrapped inside and had not been cleaned out, so it became infected and inflamed. Jian Mo pressed it, and the big cat under his hand clearly felt the pain, and its tail was stiff. Jian Mo asked, "Did you quickly change back to human form after you were injured last night?" Ah Hu hissed, "Meow, it's more convenient to change into human form." Jian Mo: "Then when you changed into human form, the things you inserted into the wound--" Ah Hu: "The human form is small, and the things inserted into the wound will not be able to fit and will fall out." After the inspection, Jian Mo said to him, "It hasn't fallen off completely. Some of it is wrapped in the flesh. Now you have to use a needle to pick it out, otherwise it will remain wrapped in it and it will hurt when you press it, and it will easily get infected." Ah Hu's tail stiffened again: "Okay, Brother Jian Mo, you take care of it." Seeing that he had no objection, Jian Mo said, "Then I'll go prepare the bone needles, you wait in the yard, you want to continue to maintain your beast form, right?" Ah Hu nodded his cat head, he was determined not to be naked in front of Jian Mo. The other beastmen were too lazy to change back to human form, so they watched the excitement in beast form. Jian Mo turned around and saw a bunch of furry heads watching from behind: "You won't let me see you treat the disease? You guys go wait outside." Ban Ming was not giving up: "Brother Jian Mo, if Ah Hu struggles, we can help you hold him down." Jian Mo: "Wu Jiong can hold him down for me, you are not needed, and Ah Hu won't struggle hard." Ah Hu turned his back to Jian Mo and said dully: "Yeah." No matter how Ban Ming argued, Jian Mo still drove out this group of beastmen who were watching the excitement and didn't mind making trouble. After driving them away, Jian Mo took out the bone needle that had been boiled and disinfected, and began to pick out the debris in Ah Hu's buttocks. There was a lot of snow outside, and the light was okay, but my eyes were a little blurry after looking at it for a long time. After Jian Mo picked for a while, his eyes were red. But his hands were steady, and the process of picking out the debris was smooth. After picking, Jian Mo asked Ah Hu: "Do you feel uncomfortable?" Ah Hu said sullenly: "No, when you didn't pick it for me just now, the meat was a little itchy inside, but it's not itchy now." Jian Mo heard him say this and checked it again. After making sure there was no problem, he went to the backyard to pick fresh herbs, squeezed them into juice, and applied them to the wound. The young big cat was so embarrassed that he couldn't raise his head. Seeing him like this, Jian Mo washed his hands and came out to give him a large piece of dried fish: "That's it. If you still feel uncomfortable, come to me immediately." Ah Hu sniffed the fish, hesitated for a moment, thanked him, took the fish, and ran away quickly. The beastmen were chased out, but they were still outside. Seeing Ah Hu go out with the fish, they "wowed" and "meowed" again, chasing each other and running away. After a while, Ah Hu came back with a basket of things, saying it was a thank you gift for Jian Mo. Without waiting for Jian Mo to refuse, he put the things down and ran away. Jian Mo looked at his back as he left: "He ran too fast." Wu Jiong: "I'm afraid you'll give the things back to him." Jian Mo: "Not really." Jian Mo took a look and found that the basket that Ah Hu brought was mostly filled with tubers. In addition to the tubers, there were three fist-sized eggs underneath. This surprised Jian Mo very much. It was so cold, and there weren't many chances to get eggs. Wu Jiong walked over and took a look: "It should be an egg picked up in early autumn or summer." Jian Mo: "So long? Did it go bad?" Wu Jiong picked it up, shook it by his ear, smelled it, and replied: "No, but it's not very fresh anymore. We have to eat it quickly." Jian Mo really hadn't eaten eggs for a while. He took the eggs back and planned to make fried or steamed eggs in the evening. When he returned to the fire pit, he saw the freshly boiled syrup and changed his mind. He leaned forward with sparkling eyes and asked Wu Jiong in a loud voice: "Wu Jiong, do you want to eat ice cream?" Wu Jiong frowned: "Food similar to popsicles?" Jian Mo gestured and described to him: "There is a big difference. They are both ice, but popsicles are hard and ice cream is soft. I personally think ice cream tastes much better." Jian Mo had noticed last time that Wu Jiong quite liked popsicles and could finish a big popsicle in just two bites. Wu Jiong nodded without hesitation before he finished speaking: "Eat." Jian Mo: "Then I'll get the cream out and we'll try to make it." Making ice cream is also quite simple. Add egg yolks, cream, syrup, and milk to heat in water, stir well and take it out to freeze, bring it back and stir after it is slightly frozen, stir it after sufficient air is introduced and then freeze it, and then you can make ice cream. The ice cream is delicious, but it's laborious. Jian Mo simply called Ban Ming and a few others over and asked them to stir. The beastmen were free anyway and had no objection at all. Ban Ming said while stirring: "Brother Jian Mo, you know a lot of things." Jian Mo said casually: "That's right, we have been learning for many years." Ban Ming was curious: "How many years are many years?" Jian Mo calculated: "Nineteen years."
When several beastmen heard Jian Mo say this, they took a breath of cold air: "Are you kidding me?"
Jian Mo: "I really didn't lie to you. When I was learning, I didn't do anything else. I only rested for three months a year, and the rest of the time I was learning."
Ban Ming was stirring, and said: "I said you must be a priest. Only priests from those particularly large tribes need to learn so many things."
Jian Mo shook his head: "I'm a doctor."
The ice cream has to be frozen after being stirred for a while.
In this world with underdeveloped productivity, ice cream can only be made on snowy days.
Jian Mo specifically asked them to make more for everyone to share, so the production time was also particularly long.
The last time I made popsicles, many people in the tribe had never seen it.
Now, hearing that ice cream is being made, people who are close to Jian Mo come to watch.
When the ice cream is ready, Jian Mo gives small scoops to his friends.
Not many, but everyone can have a taste.
Everyone tastes it and is instantly captivated by the smooth, cool and sweet taste.
Ban Ming helped to stir the ingredients and his arms became sore from all the stirring. After tasting it again, he felt that the soreness was worth it: "The ice cream is so delicious, even better than popsicles!"
Jian Mo scraped the ice cream with a small wooden chip: "That's because there is syrup in it."
Ban Ming: "Is it the syrup made from pink tube flowers?"
Jian Mo: "Yes, but unfortunately the sugar content in it is not very high. Not much was made from the two large baskets of pink tube flowers."
Ban Ming immediately said: "Then let's go pick them again! Where did you pick the pink tube flowers before? Let's go tomorrow too. "
Jian Mo shook his head: "We have collected all that can be collected over at the Green Swamp Source. There are no more now."
Ban Ming was not giving up: "Are there no other places?"
Jian Mo: "Wu Jiong said that he has not seen patches of pink tube flowers in other places."
Ye Luo suddenly interrupted: "Not necessarily, there should be some over at the Upper South Gorge. I saw them in the summer."
Ban Ming was surprised: "Have you ever been to such a far place in the summer?"
Ye Luo did not even raise his eyes: "If you run there, you will get there in half a day. It's not far."
Jian Mo did not know where the Upper South Gorge was, so he looked at Wu Jiong.
Wu Jiong whispered: "It's by the river where we border the Dianxin tribe."
That's really far away!
Jian Mo looked at Ye Luo, who had long arms and legs, in amazement, with admiration in his eyes.
Ye Luo and Qing Kuang were childhood friends, but the difference was that this beastman, who had blood similar to that of a clouded leopard, had always been single. He usually liked to travel alone outside the tribe. He was smart and careful, and knew many things that most people didn't know.
He was the one who told the tribe about the Noodle Lake last time.
If someone else had told them, Jian Mo and the others would have had to find out more.
Ye Luo said there was a pink tube flower in the Upper South Canyon, so there must be one.
Jian Mo immediately said, "Let's go and have a look tomorrow."
Ye Luo suggested, "You can ride the flying winged beast. Don't bring a backpack, bring a few more bags, pick the pink tube flowers and carry them back directly in the bags, they are not heavy."
Jian Mo nodded, "Okay!"
Ye Luo said, "I have some empty bags accumulated there, I will send them to you later, and you can return them to me after you use them up."
Jian Mo didn't hesitate to say, "Okay, we just need them."
Ban Ming ate ice cream and said regretfully, "It's too far to go to the South Canyon, and the snow is deep now, it's not very convenient, otherwise I would go with you to pick them."
Jian Mo didn't want to take these noisy beasts with him, so he said, "Wait until the weather is better before going out."
The nectar source is really rare, and Jian Mo doesn't want to miss it.
Although it was snowing the next day, Jian Mo still took Wu Jiong out.
This time they wore hats and gloves, fur coats and fur boots, covering their whole bodies tightly.
Despite this, it was still cold when they flew into the air.
Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong: "Now I understand why you said to let A Hu and the others squeeze in with the other beastmen. It's really impossible to work in this weather."
Wu Jiong: "Still cold?"
Jian Mo sniffed: "It's bearable. The wind is too strong up there. I guess it will be better when we get to the river valley."
Among the two people and one beast, only Jian Mo felt colder. The flying beast and Wu Jiong adapted well to this environment.
Later, Wu Jiong was afraid that he would get sick, so he had to spread out his fur coat and wrap him up in his arms.
Jian Mo felt that this was a bit strange, but he also thought that the environment might be too harsh and many things could not be discussed, so he put it behind him.
After arriving at the Upper South Canyon, there were cliffs on both sides to block the wind, and Jian Mo felt much warmer.
There was not even any ice and snow at the bottom of the canyon, which might have all melted.
They looked around and saw that the entire canyon was covered with pink and white pink tube flowers.
These flowers exuded a wine and sweet smell, and the air carried an intoxicating scent.
In addition to them, there were many insects flying around on the flowers, as if collecting nectar.
Jian Mo looked at the buzzing insects and asked in surprise: "Are there any bees here?"
Wu Jiong looked at the insects: "What are bees?"
Jian Mo: "They are a kind of insects that eat pollen and nectar. They will bring the pollen and nectar back to the nest to brew sweeter honey and store it."
Wu Jiong shook his head after listening: "No, these insects only eat honey and don't take it back specifically."
Jian Mo muttered: "Really? I was wondering why I haven't heard of honey in such a long time here. ?”
Wu Jiong: “There are no bees, but there is a kind of honey sparrow that will take the honey back and hide it.”
Jian Mo couldn’t wait to ask: “Birds?”
Wu Jiong: “Yes. They will swallow the honey into their stomachs, and spit it out when they get to the nest. They use honey blocks to build nests, and when the baby birds are hatched, they will use the honey blocks as food for the baby birds.
Wu Jiong supplemented: “Honey sparrows are very rare and small. Except for occasionally seeing them, we can’t find their nests at other times.”
Jian Mo’s eyes lit up and he was about to say something.
The flying beast that was eating the pink tube flower nearby suddenly chirped softly.
They both turned their heads.
Jian Mo was surprised: "No way? You understood this too?"
The flying beast grabbed the pink tube flower and looked forward, continuing to call softly: "Chirp."
Jian Mo looked in the direction of its line of sight, but saw nothing.
Wu Jiong suddenly said: "Look down, do you see that white spot?"
Jian Mo: "What?"
Wu Jiong stared at the front intently: "There seems to be a honey bird in front. Maybe there is not much food in winter, so they also come to the pink tube flower to collect nectar."
Jian Mo looked in amazement for a long time before he saw a white bird with a long beak in the pink and white flowers: "Really."
This, mention the devil, and here he comes.
