Chapter 43:
Pearl Algae The people of the Jintuo tribe specially gave up several nests to entertain Jian Mo and his group.
Their nests looked ordinary from the outside, but when they crawled inside, they found that the bottom area of the nest was at least 30 square meters, and the wall of the nest was more than 3 meters high. With the shed on the top, it was actually not much different from the houses of ordinary beastmen.
Jian Mo turned his head and looked at the empty nest, and felt more and more that this nest really looked like a dinosaur nest.
Wu Jiong came over: "What are you looking at?"
Jian Mo turned around: "Their nest is really beautiful, and the architecture is very unique."
Wu Jiong moved out the animal skin mattress: "It's getting late, let's go to bed."
"But, to be honest, I still like our house." Jian Mo walked over and saw Wu Jiong put two animal skin mattresses side by side. He hesitated, but still said nothing.
The two of them lay down with their clothes on.
Jian Mo wrapped in an animal skin quilt, looking out from the edge of the nest, he could see the sky full of stars.
In fact, he could see them when he was at Wu Jiong's house, but most of the time he would fall asleep quickly when lying on the animal skin mattress, and would not pay special attention to the stars outside.
In this strange place, his attention was particularly sharp.
He looked to the side.
Wu Jiong was already wrapped in an animal skin blanket, his breathing became steady, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep or had already fallen asleep.
Jian Mo quietly moved to the side and slept next to him, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
The surrounding environment had changed too much, and Wu Jiong had also changed too much - he had not turned back into his animal form.
Both of them were changing, and Jian Mo couldn't sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Jiong suddenly stretched out his slender arm and patted Jian Mo gently: "Go to sleep."
Jian Mo moved a little, leaned closer to him, and whispered in his ear: "Hey, I can't sleep."
Wu Jiong: "Are you not used to this place?"
Jian Mo blinked: "You didn't turn back into a beast today."
Wu Jiong's voice seemed to carry a very faint smile: "Got it."
Wu Jiong stood up, walked a few steps to the side, and turned directly into a huge white wolf.
The white wolf filled the entire den, and Jian Mo clearly felt the heat radiating from his body.
"Okay, go to sleep." The white wolf patted Jian Mo gently with his paw.
When the white wolf lay down, Jian Mo habitually stretched out his hand and hugged his front paws.
Sure enough, this is the familiar feeling.
Jian Mo thought contentedly.
Jian Mo gently rubbed the giant wolf's front paw with his head and soon fell asleep.
The giant wolf watched him for half the night, and finally took him into its arms and fell asleep as well.
The next day, when Jian Mo woke up, there was no one else in the den.
The sunlight from outside poured in, illuminating the den very clearly.
He turned his head and found the backpack he brought with him, and took out the wooden stick and charcoal powder for cleaning teeth, intending to brush his teeth first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he saw eight big men standing on both sides of the den.
Seeing him coming out, eight big men smiled at him
in unison: "Doctor Jian Mo." Jian Mo was sweating and nodded to say hello: "Good morning."
"Good morning." The big men smiled and explained, "The tribe leader asked us to come to you to see your teeth."
Jian Mo was stunned for a moment: "So early?"
"It's just a toothache, it's better to see it early."
Jian Mo thought about it and explained seriously: "I will go wash up first, and then go to see your tribe leader. I can't see it alone, I have to ask people from our tribe to help."
The big men responded: "Okay. It's a bit too early, hahaha."
Jian Mo looked at their expressions and asked about the place to wash up.
They took Jian Mo to the spring in the middle of the tribe.
When Jian Mo started to clean his teeth with a stick and charcoal powder, they did not leave. Instead, they looked at Jian Mo's mouth full of black powder and his teeth, which looked whiter and neater.
Seeing this, Jian Mo began to explain the importance of cleaning teeth, including the friction and adsorption of charcoal.
If there is no charcoal, wood ash and crushed charcoal can also be used. There must be some here.
Jian Mo took the time to brush his teeth and wash his face during the gap in the explanation.
At this time, Wu Jiong came with Jin Shi, the chief of the Jintuo tribe.
Jinshi said enthusiastically: "We have prepared breakfast. I wonder if it suits your appetite. Come and have a taste."
Jian Mo wiped his hands and said: "Thank you
, Chief Jinshi." Jinshi: "You're welcome. We still need your help."
Everyone went to a larger nest to have breakfast in a lively manner.
There was barbecue on the table, but it was not the dry barbecue that Jian Mo often saw, but the barbecue was very juicy, tender, and had more spices.
——The cooking skills here are better than those of the Riverside Tribe.
After drinking the sweet drink on the side, Jian Mo realized again that it might not be a problem of cooking skills, but that the Jintuo Tribe was located on the plains and produced metals. The entire tribe was much richer than the Riverside Tribe.
That's why they have the energy and resources to improve their quality of life.
After breakfast, Jian Mo didn't refuse anymore, but planned to check the teeth of the people in the Jintuo tribe in the open space of the tribe.
As usual, Jian Mo first looked at their mouths in human form, and then asked them to change back to beast form.
The people of the Jintuo tribe have bad teeth, but there are no problems with their mouths, and there is no inflammation.
Jian Mo guessed that they just have bad living habits, don't pay much attention to oral hygiene, and eat more delicately, so there are problems with their mouths.
As for treatment, he can only ask them to drink water mixed with anesthetics, pull out all the bad teeth, and then clean their mouths.
As for the rest, he has no way for the time being.
Well, it seems that I need to find a way to get some dental glue or something to help fill the bad teeth.
Jian Mo was treating the teeth and thinking, he is a general pet doctor, I don’t know how he became a dentist.
Maybe the orcs are in such good physical condition that they don't have many problems, but their teeth are more likely to get into trouble?
The people of the Jintuo tribe watched the excitement from afar.
Even though Jian Mo had traveled through time, he still inevitably had the aesthetic habits of Earth. His clothes were originally different from those of the people in this world. Now with gloves and a mask on, his overall characteristics were very obvious.
Everyone was curious about what he looked like and his treatment methods.
When they saw him pull out his rotten teeth one by one with the help of Wu Jiong, and put the black teeth in the pottery plate with blood, the people around him no longer cared about their curiosity. They only felt their backs tighten and their teeth began to hurt.
The beastmen who had their oral cavity treated were still in a coma. After checking their condition, the people of the Jintuo tribe carried them back and let them have a good rest in the den.
Jian Mo said that they should wake up in the afternoon, and he would go to see them then.
Extracting teeth is not a difficult thing. There is a lack of medical care and medicine in this world, and there are no special treatments.
After extracting the teeth, Jian Mo looked at the many people around him, and did not let them go. Instead, he explained to them the reasons for tooth decay.
Especially the harm of not brushing teeth, food residues provide oral bacteria, and bacteria in turn damage the teeth.
After listening to this, Jin Shi said, "Our teeth weren't so bad before, but after we planted pearl algae, our teeth are no longer good."
Jian Mo wondered, "What pearl algae?"
Jin Shi said, "It's a kind of algae in the river. It tastes pretty good. We will plant it to eat."
Guessing that the people of the riverside tribe had never seen this kind of algae, Jin Shi asked someone to bring some algae to show them.
This is a kind of pale yellow algae with thick leaves, which looks like it is almost elliptical.
Jian Mo took it in his hand and examined it carefully.
Jin Shi made a gesture to tell him that this kind of algae can be eaten directly.
Jian Mo tentatively pinched a leaf and put it in his mouth.
The leaves of the pearl algae are soft, and after biting it, there is a bursting taste, and then a faint sweetness spreads - it's actually quite delicious.
Jian Mo looked up in surprise: "The pearl algae tastes so good."
Jin Shi: "Yeah, we can't help but pick it and eat it, and as we eat it, our teeth get bad."
Jian Mo took the pearl algae in his hand, turned it over and over, and asked: "Can you exchange some pearl algae for our tribe?"
"Of course." Jin Shi agreed readily, "This was also exchanged to our tribe by other tribes, but it can only grow in warmer places. It's cold where you are, and I don't know if it can grow."
Jian Mo: "It's okay, we'll take it back and try."
Jin Shi: "Then I'll prepare a basket for you later."
As he said that, Jin Shi sighed: "Take it back, if you can grow it, be careful not to eat too much, otherwise your teeth will get bad."
Jian Mo nodded. This thing really can't be eaten too much, otherwise it will be no different from eating too much sugar.
Wait -
Jian Mo suddenly realized that adults couldn't help eating so much pearl algae, so what about children?
They couldn't help it even more, right?
Jian Mo said to Jin Shi: "How are the children's teeth? Let me take a look."
"Children -" Jin Shi also suddenly realized, "they will change their teeth, and although their teeth are bad, they are not as serious as adults."
Jian Mo sighed: "But there are always children whose teeth are still bad after changing their teeth. And if the teeth are not treated, the bad teeth will be contagious, and they will rot one after another."
Jin Shi had nothing to say, and immediately asked the people around him to call the children over to check their teeth.
Jian Mo checked the children and found that the children's teeth were indeed more rotten, which might be because the children's oral cavity is more fragile, or it might be because the children's self-control is worse.
He treated all the children's rotten teeth, and reminded the family members to remember to brush their teeth well, especially not to eat all kinds of sweets before going to bed, otherwise there would be no place to replace the rotten teeth.
The adults all agreed with serious expressions.
Jian Mo helped with the dentistry for a day. When he just came yesterday, the people of the Jintuo tribe still commented on him as the good-looking orc, but today they commented on him as the doctor Jian Mo who made people's scalps numb.
Everyone looked at him differently.
Jian Mo had long been accustomed to this feeling and didn't care.
Although the people of the Jintuo tribe are a little afraid of him now, after his treatment, everyone's psychological distance has become much closer.
On the third day, after the two tribes exchanged pottery, glass and metal instruments, Jinshi knew that Jian Mo needed metal medical instruments, and he agreed immediately: "Doctor Jian Mo, come back after a while, and we will make the tools for you."
Jian Mo was delighted, as metal instruments were much easier to use than wooden instruments: "Thank you very much."
Jinshi: "You're welcome. You may need your dentistry in the future. Hahaha. If these instruments are used on us again, it can be regarded as our helping ourselves in advance." "I'm busy."
Jian Mo said sincerely: "You should brush your teeth well, I hope your teeth won't get bad again."
Jin Shi: "We'll try our best, but the orcs in our tribe have had bad teeth for generations."
Jian Mo insisted: "Brush your teeth well, the situation will get better in the future."
When he talked about medical treatment, he seemed particularly persistent. Jin Tuo was a little afraid of him in this state, and quickly agreed: "Okay. Otherwise, Doctor Jian Mo, you can leave the medical instruments and we will follow your instructions?"
Wooden instruments are too easy to wear and rot.
The instruments Jian Mo brought were almost useless, and there was no use in taking them back. It would be fine to leave them for the people of Jin Tuo's tribe to refer to.
Jian Mo: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Jin Shi: "You're welcome. If the ore we collected this time hadn't been almost used up, you could stay here for a few more days. We can expedite the work. But you can come back next time. If we have any questions, we can look you up again. Hahaha."
Jian Mo smiled and said, "Then we'll come back next time."
This time they came out mainly to exchange supplies, so Jian Mo and the others had no reason to stay any longer.
After the exchange, they were ready to leave.
Jian Mo himself was quite satisfied with the exchange. He got a lot of metal tools and the pearl algae.
Although the sweetness of the pearl algae is not very high, it is a rare source of sweetness. It is fine to eat it as a wild vegetable, and taking it back can enrich their recipes.
The people of the Riverside Tribe were leaving, and the people of the Jintuo Tribe came to see them off.
Many people had received treatment from Jian Mo, and even though it was painful during the treatment, they were grateful to him in their hearts. Seeing that he was about to leave, they stuffed all kinds of things into his basket.
Jian Mo had already received rewards after the treatment, and now everyone was stuffing things into his basket. He felt bad, and quickly took out the things in the basket and wanted to return them to everyone.
"No need to give it to me, I still have enough supplies, you can keep them for yourselves, thank you."
Jian Mo stepped back, and the other side stuffed more things in.
For a moment, he was in a mess and looked a little wolfish.
The people from the Jintuo tribe and the Riverside tribe nearby were all laughing, with friendly smiles.
Jian Mohan was about to come out, and when he took out a large object from the basket, he suddenly felt that the object was heavy.
His hand paused, and he took the thing in front of his eyes to see that it was actually a piece of bright yellow ore.
The ore was heavy, the texture was cold, and it felt very present in the hand.
When he first saw the ore, Jian Mo even doubted whether it was a piece of gold.
As a human being, he was too sensitive to gold.
After two seconds of reaction, Jian Mo realized that it should not be gold. Gold is notoriously heavy. Although this piece of ore is heavy, he can pick it up with one hand, so it should not be gold.
It may be brass ore or something.
Jian Mo took a closer look. Brass ore is also very rare. It was the first time for him to see an ore seriously.
Jin Shi saw it from the side and didn't care: "This is our ore. Doctor Jian Mo, take it back as a souvenir."
Jian Mo came to his senses: "No, no, no, it's too expensive."
Jin Shi: "It's just a piece of ore. You can't do anything with it. You take it."
Jian Mo wanted to return it, but he was reluctant to part with the ore. He searched in the basket, but didn't find anything to return the gift, so he subconsciously looked at Wu Jiong.
Wu Jiong brought over a small bag of honey.
Jian Mo didn't expect him to bring honey with him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took the honey, and stuffed it into the mouth of the orc who stuffed the ore for him: "Thank you, I won't be polite, this is for you, it's sweet."
The orc smiled shyly, took the honey gently, and retreated behind the crowd.
Jinshi said: "Come and play next time, when spring comes, the surrounding plants will grow, the flowers will bloom, and our tribe will be more fun."
Wu Jiong: "You are also welcome to play in our tribe. The scenery of our tribe is also good."
Jinshi smiled: "Then it's a deal, may the friendship between our two tribes last forever."
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Jian Mo suddenly remembered and pointed to the black sand in the river and asked: "Can we take some sand back?"
Although he didn't know what this sand was, the unfamiliar material might bring new glaze and dye pottery or glass with new colors. Jian Mo wanted to take it back and try.
The people of the Jintuo tribe looked in the direction he pointed.
Jinshi thought about it for a while, then waved his hand generously: "It's just sand, you can pack it as much as you want."
