Chapter 84 Plaster
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went to the house where Lian Ke was staying temporarily.
Lian Ke had been waiting since early morning. When he saw them coming, he looked very proud: "What do you think? I told you my medicine works, right?"
Jian Mo held up his swollen finger to show Lian Ke: "I don't know why?"
Lian Ke shook his head and became even more proud: "It's a secret recipe. Come, let me see your fingers first."
Jian Mo stretched out his hand to show Lian Ke: "Can the claws on my other fingers pop out too?"
Lian Ke was looking at his claws and said casually: "No, they haven't grown out yet. How did it pop out? "
Jian Mo was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he found that Wu Jiong was also looking over. They both realized a problem: "Did the claws grow out originally?"
Lian Ke also reacted, and said vaguely: "You must use medicine for the claws to pop out."
Jian Mo stared at Lian Ke: "In other words, the function of the medicine is not to make the claws grow out, but to make the claws pop out-the function of the medicine is to separate the flesh and skin?"
Just like the wisdom teeth that have not grown out, you can see them by cutting the gums.
Lian Ke pretended to concentrate on observing the appearance of Jian Mo's claws and said nothing.
Jian Mo sighed, and he really couldn't rely on the witch doctor. The witch doctor just accumulated more experience, but it might not be more scientific and useful.
Lian Ke saw that their expressions were not right: "I only said that you have sub-beast dysplasia, and you can confirm it after taking the medicine. I didn't lie to you, right?"
This is true.
Wu Jiong said coldly: "It's your witch doctor's skill to talk nonsense. What you said before, didn't it imply that you can cure orc dysplasia?"
Lian Ke tried to defend himself: "I can really see it. If it weren't for my medicine, you wouldn't have discovered this problem now, right?"
Wu Jiong: "The claws have already grown out. Even without your medicine, we would have discovered it sooner or later."
Lian Ke: "It's hard to say, what if?"
Seeing that Lian Ke refused to admit it, Wu Jiong's face became even colder: "I have smelled the formula of your ointment. It uses the sap of the Kunzhi tree. I will take Jian Mo to collect it later."
Lian Ke's face changed and he shouted: "How can you steal someone else's prescription?"
Wu Jiong: "It seems so. I haven't bothered you yet, but you asked me first."
When Wu Jiong's face darkened, he looked particularly fierce, staring at people with his eyes, full of intimidation.
Lian Ke saw him like this, worried that he would turn into a beast and attack in the next second, and he took a step back involuntarily, unable to say the words of questioning, and his expression was embarrassed.
Wu Jiong: "You don't know how to cure orc dysplasia at all. What you said before was to deceive us."
Seeing that he was getting even angrier, Lian Ke hurriedly said: "I have nothing to do, so why would I deceive you? I just want to remind you that Doctor Jian Mo has this problem. As for how to treat it, let him eat more delicious food and wait for him to develop slowly. There is no special treatment method."
Jian Mo: "Is it like the development of other orcs?"
Lian Ke nodded: "Almost, but you are an adult, so you will develop slower, and it may take a long time to fully develop."
Jian Mo: "I see. Thank you anyway."
Lian Ke muttered: "Then don't guess my prescription."
It's really troublesome to have a wolf nose here.
Jian Mo: "The prescription we used in the end is definitely not the same one, don't worry."
Jian Mo only wanted the Kunzhi tree liquid that would solidify into a plaster. As for the medicine added in it, he really had no interest. He
had just been cheated by Lian Ke's powder. Even if Lian Ke personally put the powder in front of him, he might not dare to use it.
After such a thing happened, Lian Ke was embarrassed to stay in their tribe for long. He packed up his things without even having breakfast and left in disgrace.
Jian Mo walked to the river to see Lian Ke off. Seeing the old beastman hurriedly leaving after turning into a beast, his filter for witch doctors was completely broken.
It is estimated that most witch doctors are guessing and cheating based on experience. They are really not as good as veterinarians like him who have received several years of formal education.
He does not need to be so restrained.
Seeing that Jian Mo was still not very interested after Lian Ke left, Wu Jiong asked him: "Do you want to collect the sap of the Kunzhi tree?"
Jian Mo thought Wu Jiong was just trying to scare Lian Ke, but he really went: "Going today? Aren't you going to hunt or collect with the tribe?"
Wu Jiong: "It doesn't matter if you miss a day, just collect the sap you want first."
Jian Mo: "Go!"
Wu Jiong pinched his fingers and looked at them: "Wrap your fingers with medicine first, I'll go tell the other people in the tribe."
Jian Mo's fingers were rotten by the medicine, and he had to clean and apply medicine again.
He went to the back mountain to collect medicine that could reduce swelling and relieve pain, pounded it into medicinal mud, and wrapped it on his hands.
As soon as he was wrapped in the cool medicinal mud, he immediately felt much more comfortable and relieved. I'm glad
that my finger is fine. The slight pain this time can only be regarded as a lesson.
Wu Jiong came back soon, picked up the wooden barrels at home and put them in his backpack, and took a large wooden barrel alone.
Jian Mo was full of expectations for the Kunzhi tree: "Is the Kunzhi tree far from us?"
Wu Jiong: "Not too far, a little to the south, you may not have noticed that there is a large forest there."
Jian Mo remembered: "The particularly dense forest, right?"
Wu Jiong nodded: "Let's get ready to go."
Wu Jiong tore off his fur robe, turned into a giant wolf on the spot, and lay down.
Jian Mo quickly tied the barrel to him, and stuffed a few bags into the barrel. There are so many things that can be collected in spring. Taking two bags out, maybe he can collect good things.
When everything was ready, Jian Mo climbed onto the giant wolf, pinched his thick and soft ears, felt his ears tremble in his palms, and then hugged the giant wolf's neck with satisfaction: "It's time to go."
The giant wolf's voice was low and sexy: "Okay."
The giant wolf ran and ran directly out of the tribe.
Jiujiu, who played with the cubs in the tribe, saw the giant wolf carrying Jian Mo away and looked at their backs for a long time.
The kitten Spotted Chirp patted Chirp's legs with its paw: "Meow, Chirp, what are you looking at?"
Chirp lowered its head: "Chirp."
Jian Mo hadn't been out for several days. Seeing the plants outside changing day by day, his mood became high. The
grass and trees in spring are so beautiful.
The giant wolf led him to run all the way without stopping on the road. It ran directly to the outside of the huge primeval forest and stopped.
Jian Mo looked at the primeval forest in front of him and opened his mouth in surprise.
Although they often go out to collect, they don't really go to the forest very often. The main reason is that the forest is more dangerous. Not only are there wild beasts in it, but the complex terrain of the forest itself will also bring them trouble. In
such a dense forest, it is really easy for inexperienced people to get lost in it.
Jian Mo estimated that only Qingkuan, Yeluo and a few others were capable of challenging such a huge forest.
Seeing Jian Mo observing the forest, the giant wolf turned its head and rubbed him gently with its mouth: "You can come down now."
Jian Mo opened his arms and hugged the wolf's head, and kissed the giant wolf's furry cheek hard: "This place is very special, there must be a lot of good things in it, right?"
Giant wolf: "There are wild vegetables and fruits, but mainly the sap of the Kunzhi tree."
Jian Mo: "Then let's hurry up!"
As he said that, Jian Mo slid down from the giant wolf, untied the various tools tied to him, and signaled him: "Okay."
The giant wolf changed back into human form, picked up and landed. He picked up the animal skin on the ground and wrapped it around his waist: "Get ready to go."
Jian Mo stared at him without blinking as he put on his animal leather shoes: "Speaking of which, I still think that animal skin is a bit non-breathable. If there is a chance, I would like to see if I can find other plants to weave into cloth."
Wu Jiong: "Cloth woven from plants may not be as soft as animal hair."
Jian Mo: "That may not be the case. We have particularly soft and breathable plant fabrics. Animal hair is too hot. You will sweat if you wear it now. After a while, it will probably be even more uncomfortable."
This is true. Wu Jiong: "We will ask other tribes after we go back."
The two talked and went into the forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, Jian Mo felt that his vision became much dimmer.
However, this primeval forest with many huge trees does not have so many weeds, and the trees are far apart. There are soft and dry fallen leaves underfoot, which are quite comfortable to step on.
Jian Mo looked around and thought the environment was really good.
Wu Jiong stretched out his hand to lead him: "Let's go this way, there are Kunzhi trees here."
Jian Mo: "Okay!"
The two walked through the primeval forest. Jian Mo noticed that there were many mosses and fungi growing on the trees, but unfortunately most of them were inedible.
There are also a lot of animal feces in the forest. It is estimated that there are many animals of all sizes here.
The beastmen occupy the absolute top of the food chain in the local area. When they walk, not only do no animals dare to disturb them, but most animals run away when they see them.
After walking for a while, Wu Jiong led Jian Mo to find the first Kunzhi tree.
It was a shrub no more than two meters high, with its branches and leaves spread out widely, and a horizontal diameter of more than two meters.
Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong: "How do we collect this sap?"
Wu Jiong: "Break off the branches and let the sap drip into the wooden tube."
As he said that, Wu Jiong picked a relatively thick branch and broke it directly.
Dark green sap gushed out from the broken part.
Wu Jiong took the wooden tube to receive it, and then put the wooden tube on the ground, bent the branch downward, and inserted it into the wooden tube: "It should be enough after a morning of collection."
Jian Mo followed his example and broke off a branch, but his movements were not so skilled, and he accidentally rubbed the sap on his hands.
The sap is not poisonous, but by the time he installed the wooden barrel, the thin sap had solidified in his hand and turned into a piece of skin, which he could tear off with a light tear.
It really looks like the blackhead stickers that girls used in school.
Wu Jiong: "What are you looking at?"
Jian Mo smiled: "It reminded me of some things in the past. It's quite interesting."
Jian Mo told Wu Jiong about the past. Wu Jiong listened patiently, stretched out his hand and pulled him forward.
After walking a few steps, they saw the second Kunzhi tree.
They broke off a few more branches to collect sap, and continued to look for the next one.
After a busy morning, they used up all the wooden barrels.
They found a relatively spacious and ventilated place to rest. Jian Mo took out the mushroom sauce he brought and had lunch with Wu Jiong.
Although people in this world are used to eating two meals, Jian Mo still likes to eat three meals if conditions permit.
After lunch, Wu Jiong turned back into a giant wolf.
Jian Mo climbed on him, buried himself in his fur, and took a nap. He didn't wake up until the sun was setting.
They were going to go back to collect the wooden barrels, and collect whatever they could on the way.
After most of the day's collection, Jian Mo and his team had more than half a barrel of sap in each wooden barrel.
The sap was dark green and sticky, and looked like some kind of ointment.
But compared to the sap that Lian Ke brought, it was still a little thinner, and it was estimated that it would require further processing.
Wu Jiong said, "We should put it in a jar and boil it to boil off the excess water."
Jian Mo: "I think it might be, so Lian Ke's ointment is black, and ours is dark green."
After collecting this batch, the two did not plan to collect more sap.
If they break more branches, the growth of the Kunzhi tree may be affected, so it is better to come back next time.
Although they did not collect as much as possible, the harvest of the two today was still good.
After returning home, Jian Mo simply finished his meal and started to boil the sap.
The sap in the oil-free and water-free pottery jar really turned dark and thick, and looked very much like the ointment that Lian Ke brought.
Jian Mo smelled the smell and felt that the smell was similar.
But Lian Ke put other herbs in his ointment to mask the smell, so now the two ointments have only slight similarities.
Seeing that it was almost done, Jian Mo scraped out a lump with a piece of wood, let it cool, and then smeared it on the cleaned injured finger.
The ointment solidified quickly after being applied, and became a plaster-like texture, strong and sticky, firmly adhering to the skin.
For Jian Mo, this thing would be more suitable for making a sterile dressing.
In the future, if someone suffers an external injury, after the operation, just dig out a lump of this ointment and "pop" it on the sutured wound. It is estimated that the effect is much better than wrapping it with cloth.
The most important thing is that this kind of dressing should not hinder the patient's activities and can provide convenience for the patient's daily life.
The more Jian Mo looked at it, the more satisfied he was. Lian Ke was a bit of a scam, but the material this guy brought was really useful, and many of his actions were inspiring to him.
For this reason, he was too lazy to pursue it.
Just as Jian Mo was studying the ointment, Qing Kuang came to visit.
As soon as he saw him making medicine, Qing Kuang asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is it about the powder of witch doctor Lian Ke?"
Jian Mo waved his hand, "That's not a big problem. It will be fine after some rest. I'll make some ointment for later use."
Qing Kuang, "You scared me. I thought there was really a problem. Then we have to catch up with him and ask for an explanation."
Jian Mo smiled, "If there really is a problem, he would not have been allowed to leave in the morning. Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Qing Kuang nodded, "When we went out today, we saw that the Ambus River was flowing again. We plan to go there to collect it tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
These days, Jian Mo either stayed in the tribe to treat people or went out alone. It has been a few days since he has been out with the tribe.
Jian Mo: "Go! We don't have anything to do tomorrow, so we can follow the action."
Qing Kuo: "Then we'll wait for you tomorrow. The Ambus River is far away, so we have to set out early."
Jian Mo was curious: "Where is the Ambus River? Has it dried up before? Why do you say it's flowing again?"
Qing Kuo: "It's in the east. It's a river that only flows in spring and summer, and some things in the river are only in spring and summer."
When he said this, Jian Mo immediately understood.
This river must be a seasonal river with meltwater as the main source of water. Now that the weather is hot, the meltwater from the snow-capped mountains has increased, and the river has started to flow again.
Encountering a seasonal river for the first time, Jian Mo said expectantly: "I see, I'll get up at dawn tomorrow!"
Qing Kuo: "See you tomorrow then."
