Chapter 65 Twins
The weather was cold, so Jian Mo and his team covered the crops with a thin layer of soil after planting them.
Even so, Jian Mo still felt that it was not warm enough.
He discussed with Wu Jiong: "How about we go cut some grass to cover it? It's better to keep the temperature with grass."
Wu Jiong: "What kind of grass?"
Jian Mo thought for a while: "If you want to keep warm, ordinary grass will do. It's better to cut longer grass, which is easier."
Wu Jiong: "There is a grassland along the river. The dead grass on it should still be there. Let's go there to cut it."
Jian Mo had no objection: "Okay. After cutting the grass, we will cut some trees and put up a fence next to the vegetable field. Otherwise, I'm afraid that wild animals will get into our vegetable field and cause harm." There
are really a lot of wild animals here. If we don't stop them, the crops we grow will probably be destroyed soon.
After the two discussed it, Wu Jiong turned into a giant wolf and carried Jian Mo on his back and walked downstream along the river.
There were fewer people reclaiming land this year, and there was only one piece of reclaimed land at a distance on the river bank.
The snow was white and the mud was black, which looked particularly obvious. As they approached, flocks of birds flew in all directions in surprise.
Although it had only been a short time since the seeds were planted, many birds had come to eat the seeds.
Jian Mo looked at these birds. Covering the soil was not entirely for warmth, but also to prevent birds.
It was not easy to plant something.
They went all the way down the river.
Soon they saw reed-like plants by the river. Although it was already late winter, it was almost spring, and there were white ears on the tops of the plants.
Jian Mo looked at the grass and felt very happy: "The grass grows really well. Let's cut some and put it in the vase later?"
The giant wolf responded in a low voice: "The leaves are a bit sharp. I'll go cut them."
Jian Mo: "Then I'll cut at the edge. You should be careful when cutting."
The two of them cut with the newly made sickles. They cut very quickly. It didn't take long for them to cut a large bundle.
They also went to the forest to cut vines and tied the grass.
While wandering in the forest, they saw small fruits under the snow.
The fruits were red and tempting. They tasted a little icy, but there were not many. After tying the grass, they went into the forest for a walk. In the end, they only picked a basket of fruits. It
was a little late to wander in the forest, so they returned to the tribe a little late.
The patrolling beastman shouted at them from a distance: "Chief, Jian Mo, why did you come back just now?"
Jian Mo thought he was just saying hello casually, so he said: "I was picking fruits in the woods. Do you want some? I'll give you a small handful."
"Let's not talk about food for now." The patrolling beastman said, "Just now, people from the Zhengchi tribe brought two sick little beastmen here. You should go and see them."
Jian Mo sat up straight: "Where are they? What's wrong with them?"
The patrolling beastman: "I don't know. Their condition looks serious. They have fainted. Qing Kuan arranged them to a small clinic by the river and sent people out to look for you. I didn't expect you didn't meet them."
Jian Mo: "I'll go and see."
Upon hearing this, the giant wolf immediately carried him to the small clinic. Sure enough,
there were a bunch of people standing at the clinic. Before they could go in, they heard a burst of voices.
People were clamoring, and it was hard to hear what they were saying, but from their tone, they could tell that they were anxious.
Before Jian Mo and his friends came forward, they saw the giant wolf first. Someone shouted, "Doctor Jian Mo is here!"
Someone else rushed out and shouted to Jian Mo, "Doctor Jian Mo, please save our two cubs."
Jian Mo slid off the giant wolf and hurriedly said, "Let me take a look at the situation first."
People immediately made way for him to go in.
Inside the clinic, two half-human-tall cubs that looked a bit like river beetles and a bit like otters were curled up on animal skin mats with their eyes closed. Their long hair curled up, they were dying, and they didn't look very good.
The beastmen beside them were anxiously touching one and then the other, and kept calling their names: "Suyue, Wangyue, don't sleep!"
Jian Mo squeezed forward: "Let me take a look."
As he said, Jian Mo took out a specially made simple metal stethoscope from the cabinet, put one end on the cubs, and the other end on their ears, and listened carefully to the conditions of the two cubs.
Both cubs were breathing rapidly, their pupils were dilated, and their bodies were hot, and their conditions were similar.
Jian Mo gently opened their mouths and could smell a strange smell.
This situation may be a problem caused by external objects, rather than an internal illness.
After making a preliminary judgment, Jian Mo asked, "When did the accident happen to them?"
The father of the two cubs said anxiously, "They were fine in the morning. I didn't see them for a long time in the afternoon. I went out to look for them and saw them lying on the ground."
Jian Mo: "Fine in the morning, do you mean that they didn't have any abnormalities until the afternoon? They didn't grow anything on their bodies, didn't have a fever, and didn't say they were uncomfortable?"
The father nodded vigorously, "Yes! They were always very lively."
Jian Mo immediately said, "I suspect they were poisoned by what they ate, and I want to treat them according to the method for poisoning first."
The panicked adults had no objection.
Jian Mo turned to Wu Jiong and said, "Go home and grind some flour and bring some water."
Wu Jiong agreed and went out immediately.
The other adults asked, "What should we do?"
Jian Mo: "First, open the window to let in some air, and then move aside so that the cubs can breathe well."
The others all made way.
Jian Mo carefully checked the condition of the two cubs again. The symptoms of the two cubs were indeed very similar to poisoning. According to their father's words, the result was also like poisoning.
After checking for a while, Jian Mo saw Qingkuang in the crowd and immediately asked him: "Qingkuang, please go to the back mountain to help me dig the detoxifying wormwood and pistil grass. Dig ten of each, wash them and send them to me." Qingkuang
agreed and ran out without hesitation.
Jian Mo looked at Ye Luo: "Ye Luo, please help me make a fire. Use a large pot to boil water first, at least boil two buckets."
Ye Luo nodded solemnly and left quickly.
Min Dang: "Jian Mo, do you still need water? We have boiled water at home."
Jian Mo nodded: "Yes! The more the better, if you have boiled water, please bring it here."
The people of the Riverside Tribe quickly gathered all kinds of supplies.
Wu Jiong also sent some flour powder.
Flour powder smells particularly bad, even a beast as greedy as Jiujiu would vomit after eating it, let alone an ordinary kid.
Jian Mo poured the flour powder into a bowl of warm water and motioned to the people around the two kids: "Now pour the flour water into the two kids."
The people around him endured the bad smell and did as he was told.
The two kids had already lost consciousness and their teeth were clenched tightly.
The people around them pried open their mouths and tried to pour water in, but it was still difficult to get it in.
Jian Mo took a look and said, "I'll do it. Help me hold them down and open their mouths."
The people around him agreed immediately.
When the people around him were pouring water into the two cubs, they were a little afraid to use their strength and were restrained.
Jian Mo was very skillful. He put the cub's head on his thigh. Others didn't know how he did it. They just saw him holding the cub's head with his arms and pouring the water in in a few strokes.
The cub, who had already fallen into a coma, began to struggle uncomfortably.
Jian Mo was not soft-hearted at all. He poured the water in with a serious face.
When the people around him saw it, they instinctively showed a little awe on their faces. Many people avoided his sight and dared not look at him.
One of the cubs seemed to finally be unable to bear the taste of the flour powder. Even though he was unconscious, he still vomited in a spurting manner, and vomited out the food in his stomach.
Many people were startled and hid to the side.
Jian Mo used a wooden stick to dig around and soon found a group of dark green plants.
After a careful look, he judged: "It should be that they ate the poison in the millet grass. The other cub is probably the same. Keep pouring water in. Try to make them vomit out the poison, otherwise the poison will stay in their bodies and hurt them."
After hearing this, the others dared not stop. They took the water bowl and poured water into the mouths of the two cubs.
The two cubs were filled to the point of having their stomachs rounded, and one of them vomited out vigorously.
At first they would vomit because of the taste of the flour, but later they may have gotten used to it or become numb from vomiting, so they could not vomit very often.
Jian Mo directly stimulated their throats and asked them to continue vomiting, without any mercy.
As they vomited, the water on the ground slowly turned into clear water.
Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone, "It's almost done, now give them the detoxifying herbal soup."
Qing Kuan had already boiled the detoxifying herbal soup and was letting it dry outside.
Jian Mo tested the temperature with the back of his hand and said, "It's ready, I'll do it. You give it to the two cubs, they may vomit out of habit."
The people around him didn't dare to argue with him at all, and quickly made way to the side, "You do it."
Jian Mo took the herbal soup and quickly fed the two cubs the detoxifying soup.
After making sure they would not vomit, he said to the fathers of the two cubs, "Wipe their fur first, then wrap them in animal skins and carry them out. It's too dirty here. Come back in after disinfection."
The two fathers did not dare to have any opinions at all. They each held the cubs whose breathing had calmed down and went outside to wait.
Jian Mo led the other people in the Riverside Tribe to clean up all the vomit first, then disinfected it with slaked lime, then opened the windows for ventilation, and then replaced the animal skin mattresses and quilts.
After everything was done, Jian Mo asked the people outside to come in.
After Jian Mo checked the two cubs, he said to their two fathers: "The situation has stabilized for the time being, but it's best to stay here for two days. You take turns to watch. Call me if there is anything."
He said to the others: "It is recommended that at most two people stay, and the others go back first."
Everyone watched Jian Mo operate, and the two cubs were stable and lay in the warm and comfortable quilt. They admired him and trusted him.
They whispered to each other and decided to follow the command. The others went back first and left two people here to take care of them.
Wu Jiong invited some of them to stay in the vacant house of the Riverside Tribe first. The Zhengchi Tribe was too far away from their tribe, and it was too tiring to rush back and forth every day.
You can stay in the riverside tribe for a few days and wait until the situation is stable.
Jian Mo then realized that the chief of the Zhengchi tribe had also come. The old man with small eyes in the crowd was their chief.
Qing Kuang said to Jian Mo: "Children are so rare. It would be strange if they were not anxious when two of their cubs got sick at once."
It is not easy to give birth to cubs in the orc world. Jian Mo understands the feelings of the adults, but: "Their chief is like the head of the family."
Qing Kuang: "Their chief is indeed a little worried. He is also the oldest chief among the tribes near us."
Jian Mo guessed this. The lifespan of orcs and sub-orcs is particularly long. They are in their prime most of the time. They will only age rapidly when they are close to death. It is not common for the chief of the Zhengchi tribe to show old looks so early.
At this point, Qing Kuang sighed: "I hope the two cubs can get better soon."
Jian Mo: "Yes, I think they are much better now, there shouldn't be any big problems."
When Jian Mo returned home, he found that Wu Jiong considerately put the big pot of boiling water on the charcoal fire.
The residual heat of the charcoal fire had already made the water very hot.
He felt soothed in his heart and took the soap to take a shower.
He was a little dirty from treating the two cubs just now. He had to wash himself from head to toe. When he was free tomorrow, he had to clean and disinfect all the used instruments.
Maybe the whole house needs to be disinfected.
After taking a shower, Jian Mo boiled another pot of water for Wu Jiong and pushed Wu Jiong to take a shower.
After Wu Jiong came out, Jian Mo had just finished cooking dinner: "I was quite busy today, so I didn't make any special exquisite food. Let's have some stewed meat to make do."
Wu Jiong came over to take a look: "Have you stewed the portion for tomorrow morning?"
Jian Mo shook his head: "After dinner, I have to go to the clinic to check on the two cubs again, and bring some food to the adults who are taking care of them. This is stewed for them."
Wu Jiong: "We'll go together later."
The two of them had a simple meal, went to the clinic to deliver the meal and check on the two cubs.
The boy's father said gratefully, "We have eaten. Several people just brought us food."
Jian Mo did not expect everyone to be so thoughtful: "Then you keep it and eat it when you are hungry in the middle of the night. I will bring you a charcoal brazier later. If you are hungry, just put the meat on the charcoal brazier and stew it."
The boy's father nodded: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo: "You're welcome. Let me check on the boys first. Have they woken up just now? Or are they still sleeping?"
The boy's father: "They have been sleeping, just like usual. They slept very soundly, and the fever has subsided."
Jian Mo felt relieved and took out the stethoscope: "Then I'll take another look."
The condition of the two boys has indeed improved a lot. Judging from their condition, there is not much abnormality.
Jian Mo fed them medicine again and let them continue to sleep, planning to come back the next morning to check on them.
Today was too tiring, so Jian Mo fell asleep as soon as he got home.
Because he was worried about something, he couldn't fall asleep and woke up early the next morning.
As soon as he woke up, Wu Jiong, who was sleeping next to him, also woke up.
Jian Mo picked up the clothes at the end of the bed and put them on hurriedly: "It's still early, you sleep a little longer."
Wu Jiong: "Are you going to see Su Yue and Wang Yue?"
Jian Mo nodded: "I don't know how they are, I'll go and see."
Wu Jiong: "I'll go with you."
Before Jian Mo could object, Wu Jiong said: "The snow has just melted, it's very slippery outside, I'm worried about you going alone."
Jian Mo thought about it and said: "Then let's go after breakfast, just in time to bring some breakfast for them."
Jian Mo was in no mood to make breakfast because he had to go to see the patients, so he made barbecue and grilled sausage.
When they passed by, they heard voices talking inside before they got close.
Jian Mo's ears moved and he heard the voices of children inside.
Could it be that the two cubs are already well?
Jian Mo pulled Wu Jiong and walked forward quickly to see what was going on.
When they walked over, the people inside also heard their footsteps.
The door opened immediately, and two little cubs with long brown hair rushed out - they were awake as expected.
The cubs stared with their round eyes, raised their heads and greeted lively, "Doctor Jian Mo."
The two cubs looked too much like a combination of a river beetle and a sea otter. Jian Mo felt relieved, but his hands started to itch again. He squatted down and touched one of them, "Do you know me?"
The cub he touched said happily, "When you were feeding us medicine yesterday, we actually opened our eyes to see."
The other cub who was not touched squeezed up and pressed its forehead under Jian Mo's palm. It was not happy until he touched it. Jian Mo smiled and said, "I can still recognize your smell."
Seeing how lively they were, Jian Mo said, "Great."
The two cubs surrounded Jian Mo and Wu Jiong and went into the house. Their father came out to greet them, "Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo nodded and asked, "When did they wake up?"
Their father said, "They woke up before dawn. Maybe they slept too much yesterday. I coaxed them for a while, but they didn't fall asleep."
The two cubs ran to their father's feet, one on the left and one on the right, looking at Jian Mo with sparkling eyes.
Jian Mo reached out and touched their chins: "Let me take another look."
Jian Mo carefully examined the two cubs and quickly said: "It looks like there is no problem. Drink two bowls of detoxifying herbal soup today and you should be fine."
Their father smiled gratefully: "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Jian Mo was a little confused and squatted down to ask the two cubs, "How did you accidentally eat the elm grass?"
The smell of elm grass itself is quite unpleasant. Just by smelling it, you know that this kind of grass is absolutely not edible.
When the two cubs heard Jian Mo's question, their mouths closed tighter and tighter, their eyes glanced left and right, and they didn't dare to look at Jian Mo.
Jian Mo knew something was wrong at a glance: "Are you competing in eating grass? Do you force yourself to eat the grass?"
The two cubs closed their mouths even tighter.
As soon as their father saw this, he knew that Jian Mo had guessed the truth. He was immediately furious and slapped the two cubs on their buttocks with his big hands: "Doctor Jian Mo is asking you questions!"
The two cubs admitted shyly: "Yeah."
After that, the two cubs blamed each other: "He was the first to say to eat it!"
Jian Mo was helpless: "You still eat it even though it tastes so bad. Do you know it is poisonous?"
Su Yue whispered: "I didn't expect it to be so poisonous."
Wang Yue whispered even more: "We have eaten other grasses before and nothing happened."
Before Jian Mo had time to educate the two cubs, he suddenly saw the blue veins on their father's forehead twitching.
Sure enough, the next moment, their father's roar echoed throughout the room: "You have eaten other poisonous grasses——"
Even if Jian Mo was here, he couldn't stop this father with an explosive mentality from beating his children.
Of course, Jian Mo didn't stop them seriously.
The two cubs quickly recovered, and Jian Mo said they could go back to recuperate.
During this period, they should eat more meat and stop eating messy food. They should take good care of themselves, otherwise Jian Mo was really worried that it would affect their development.
Liver and kidney damage and the like could not be seen in the short term.
On the day they left the clinic, the kid's father said, "Thank you so much this time. In the past, some kids died after eating poisonous weeds. They recovered so quickly, all thanks to your great medical skills."
Jian Mo waved his hand and said, "It's not entirely my credit that they are in good health. In the future, they must not eat those messy foods. It will cause great harm to the body."
The kid's father patted his chest and said, "I will definitely not let them go out to play alone in the future. Doctor Jian Mo, what should we give you as a reward? How about cloth?"
The kid's father said, "If cloth is not enough, we can exchange it for something else you want."
Jian Mo already had a lot of cloth in his hands, and he really didn't want to ask for more cloth.
He had thought about it a long time ago: "Do you have stone wood? If you have stone wood, just give me fifty stone woods. If you don't have stone wood, harder woods such as Ruo wood, Ming wood, and Xing wood will also be fine."
The boy's father immediately said: "Yes! We have stone wood. Wait a few days, we will go back and cut it and send it to you."
The texture of stone wood is very hard, and it is difficult to cut it with a stone axe. There was an incident in which the riverside tribe broke ten stone axes in a row but failed to cut down a single stone tree.
Jian Mo was a little embarrassed: "If it is difficult for you to chop with stone axes, we can lend you metal axes. When you carry hardwood here, just bring the metal axes with you."
They have been neighbors for generations, and Jian Mo is not afraid that they will keep the metal axes and not return them. If they really don't return them, he will just stop treating the people of the Zhengchi tribe in the future.
The father of the boy has heard of the metal axe, and he said gratefully: "Thank you very much, we will use it carefully and send it to you when we are done."
Jian Mo smiled and said: "You're welcome, thank you for your hard work."
Jian Mo has a lot of metal in his hands, and there are all kinds of farm tools and utensils at home. Not only does he have a metal axe, but he also has two.
He picked out the big one and took it out, and gave it to the father of the boy, asking him to take it back for the time being.
After the cub's father accepted it, he changed back into beast form, put his partner and child on his back, and rushed to the Zhengchi tribe.
Jian Mo looked at his huge beast form, then turned to look at Wu Jiong.
Although they were both giant beasts, the giant wolf was obviously much more handsome than the combination of a river beetle and an otter from the Zhengchi tribe.
Noticing Jian Mo's gaze, Wu Jiong came over and touched Jian Mo's forehead: "What's wrong?"
Jian Mo was in a good mood and jumped on his back: "Nothing, I just think you are handsome, handsome in human form and in beast form."
Wu Jiong carried him steadily, his ears a little red.
Jian Mo touched his ears with a bit of regret: "But you beastmen can't release the beast parts when you are in human form, otherwise it would be more handsome."
The sub-beastmen can also beast their ears, noses and other parts when they are in human form. Except for the pupils of beastmen that can change with the change of light, other parts cannot be beastified. If they want to change, they can only change back to beast form.
Wu Jiong carried Jian Mo on his back and walked back: "Why do you like beast ears so much?"
Jian Mo smiled and said: "I like it, just like I like you."
Wu Jiong's ears turned redder, but he still said seriously with a serious face: "I like you too."
The people of Zhengchi tribe are very trustworthy.
Five days later, a large group of beastmen from Zhengchi tribe came to Jian Mo's house, carrying fifty huge stone logs, saying that it was a reward for treating the two cubs.
The trees cut by the Riverside Tribe were only about ten centimeters in diameter, while the stone wood carried by the Zhengchi Tribe was more than thirty centimeters in diameter, and looked particularly huge at first glance.
The stone wood was dense and hard, and much heavier than ordinary trees. God knows how hard it was for them to carry it all the way here.
Jian Mo felt bad, and said as he looked at the stones and wood they carried back, "Hey, this tree is too big, you don't need to give me so many. If it's this kind of stone wood, you can just give me thirty."
The old chief of the Zhengchi tribe said with a smile, "It's okay, Doctor Jian Mo, you can keep it, we have more in our tribe. Thanks to the metal axe you borrowed, we can cut more trees this time, and we won't be tired."
Jian Mo said seriously, "No, we don't need so many, we still have to be conscientious in what we do. Thirty will be enough, and you can carry the remaining twenty back."
The old chief said: "Our tribe is far away from yours, and it will be very heavy to carry back. Doctor Jian Mo, don't be polite."
Jian Mo looked at how He couldn't refuse no matter how he tried, and he became a little anxious: "No means no, this is a matter of principle
." Qing Kuang was originally helping to entertain the Zhengchi tribe, and seeing that Jian Mo was getting angry, he hurried to smooth things over: "How about Jian Mo, why don't you take the supplies to exchange with the old patriarch and the others? It's really tiring to carry so many stones and wood back."
Jian Mo immediately asked: "Exchange?"
The old patriarch was kind: "Okay, just give us something."
Jian Mo saw how reluctant they were when they handed the metal axes back, and after thinking about it, hesitantly said: "How about I take a small metal axe and exchange these twenty pieces of stone and wood?"
The big axe definitely wouldn't work, as it was more valuable, but the small axe should be enough.
Before Jian Mo finished speaking, the old patriarch agreed without hesitation: "Okay! Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo!"
Jian Mo laughed: "You haven't even seen what the small axe looks like, and you've already agreed?"
The old patriarch smiled and said: "Metal axes are hard to come by, and we won't suffer any loss no matter how you exchange them. Besides, we trust your character."
Jian Mo said happily: "Then let's exchange it this way. Thank you so much this time."
