Chapter 87 Stray Kid
As the weather gets warmer, the days here get brighter and earlier.
In winter, Jian Mo got up at the same time, and it was still dark.
Now when he gets up at the same time, the sun is almost out.
After getting up, he yawned, washed up, went to the river to pick vegetables, and prepared to make breakfast.
After a period of care, the vegetables by their riverside grew better and better. Except for the tendon grass that became a little sparse because it was cut too many times, the other vegetables were very lush.
Jian Mo checked and found that the leaves of the scallions had grown out. The thick and hollow leaves were very similar to the leaves on Earth.
He pinched a handful and held it in his hand, and went to look at the wood roots and hair roots. Both types of stems grew well, and nothing could be seen for the time being.
The best growing grass on the riverside is the scallion.
These scallions are lush and green, and look like a well-tended lawn. If it weren't for the small size, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a sea of grass.
After picking the vegetables, Jian Mo turned back.
The kids in the tribe and Jiujiu were playing outside. When they saw Jian Mo, they stopped and called sweetly, "Brother Jian Mo."
Jian Mo smiled and greeted them, "Be good, you guys continue playing."
The kids and Jiujiu played together again, running around panting.
Jian Mo went home, chopped the scallions, mixed them with garlic powder, added salt and shellfish powder, and planned to mix them into scallion sauce.
The stem paste made with this sauce tastes very good, much better than the stems boiled in plain water.
Just when Jian Mo was cooking in the kitchen, Wu Jiong came in from outside.
Jian Mo asked casually, "Have you finished feeding the tuk-tuk beast?"
As he spoke, Jian Mo turned his head and took a look. Unfortunately, he caught a glimpse of a red mark on the back of Wu Jiong's hand, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Jian Mo picked up Wu Jiong's hand and took a look, "How did you get hurt?"
Wu Jiong, "The tuk-tuk beast was a little irritable today. When I went to feed it, several tuk-tuk beasts rushed over and just bumped my hand. It will be healed soon.
Don't worry about it." Jian Mo looked carefully and made sure that his bones were not injured, then asked, "The tuk-tuk beast is irritable? Could it be in heat?"
Wu Jiong, "Maybe."
Jian Mo, "Then I'll go over and take a look after dinner."
They quickly made breakfast and ate it, and fed Jiujiu before Jian Mo found time to go and see the tuk-tuk beast.
They have two big ones and six small ones, a total of eight tuk-tuks, five females and three males.
The three males were the ones that bumped into Wu Jiong's hand in the morning.
Jian Mo checked their condition and found that their eyes were a little red, their body temperature was rising, and their external genitalia had also changed. They were indeed in heat.
After counting the days, the little tuk-tuk was born more than a hundred days ago, close to two hundred days, and it was also the age for breeding.
Tuk-tuk are famous for being timid and fertile. They have been busy with other things for a while and ignored the tuk-tuk in heat.
Wu Jiong asked Jian Mo how he wanted to deal with it.
Jian Mo: "Should we get two unrelated male tuo beasts to breed with them?"
Facing Wu Jiong's puzzled look, Jian Mo said: "The cubs born by unrelated tuo beasts are less likely to be sick. We don't have much use for the three male tuo beasts, so let's exchange them for food or other male beasts." Wu Jiong understood: "Which tribe should we
go to?"
Jian Mo thought for a moment and said: "Several tribes have them, but the two big ones are not good enough. The tuk-tuk was given to us by Amon, why don't we go to the Xiongying tribe to exchange it? The road is a bit far, but the tuk-tuk there should be the same breed as ours, so it's more suitable to be matched. "
Wu Jiong had no objection: "We will set out later, at most we can spend the night in the Xiongying tribe or outside."
Jian Mo: "Then we have to take some food out, I'll pack it up."
After they were ready, they planned to tie up the tuk-tuk and carry it to the Xiongying tribe.
The tuk-tuk may have been frightened in the morning, or they may have been timid. As soon as they tried to tie up the three male tuk-tuk, the three tuk-tuk struggled desperately and ran around the animal shed.
Before Jian Mo and his team could catch the three male tuts, the five female tuts were scared to death and huddled in a corner, trembling.
Wu Jiong: "This won't work. How about we just drive them out and use branches to drive them to the Xiongying tribe?"
Generally, when dealing with such timid beasts, people would use branches to slowly drive them out instead of forcibly carrying them on their backs.
Jian Mo thought about it and felt that it was still too far away: "I don't think it will work. I'll feed them some anesthetics, and then tie them up, and they'll be much better."
Wu Jiong: "That's fine."
So the two of them went back to the house to find the anesthetics and boiled them into water. They gave each of the three male tuts two gulps of water, and soon knocked them down.
Now it's much easier to carry them away.
Before setting off, Jian Mo specifically found Qing Kuang and said that he and Wu Jiong were going out to exchange tuo beasts and might not be able to come back today, so he asked Qing Kuang to help take care of the remaining tuo beasts and Jiu Jiu in their home.
Qing Kuang agreed without saying a word.
Wu Jiong turned into a giant wolf and carried Jian Mo and the three tuo beasts on his back. It was not very strenuous and he ran very fast on the road.
Unexpectedly, before they ran out of the territory of the Riverside Tribe, someone rushed up to them, shouted their names, and asked them to stop.
Jian Mo looked carefully and found that they were from the Mengshui tribe. He could not help but ask loudly: "Are you looking for us?"
The Mengshui tribe member shouted: "Yes, we are looking for you. Doctor Jian Mo, we have a patient there and would like you to come over to see him."
Jian Mo: "What patient? Have you brought him here? I'll take a look now."
To go to the Xiongying tribe, Jian Mo specially brought his medical kit, which contained simple surgical instruments and medicines. Even if he treated the patient in the wild, it should not be a big problem.
He was ready to get off the giant wolf to treat the patient, but the Mengshui tribe member opposite said: "We didn't bring him here, mainly because it is not appropriate to bring him to the Riverside Tribe, so we would like to ask you to go to the Mengshui tribe."
What's inappropriate about this? Jian Mo's mind turned for a while, and he immediately understood that they had something hidden: "What is inappropriate about it?"
Jian Mo thought that the people of Mengshui tribe would be more obscure, but he didn't expect that when they heard his question, they immediately said it out angrily:
"The sick one is a stray beastman. We can't tell which tribe he is from, but he is not from a nearby tribe."
"The little guy is covered with scabs and looks very bad. I don't know if he has any infectious diseases or bugs, so it's not good to bring him to your tribe."
"I don't know which tribe actually drove such a little beastman out. He is really not worthy of being a human being."
"We asked for a long time but couldn't get the answer. The little beastman might be a little fool."
"That's roughly the situation. We have no choice but to ask you for help."
Jian Mo immediately said, "No problem. Is he seriously ill?"
The people of the Mengshui tribe: "It doesn't seem too serious. We checked and felt that his condition was not very good. We don't know what disease he has."
After hearing this, Jian Mo said, "Let's go back with you and take a look. I will stay in your tribe for a while. Wu Jiong, go and change the tuo beast and then come to pick me up?"
The second half of the sentence Jian Mo was asking about the giant wolf.
The giant wolf said, "Let's stop in Mengshui tribe before going to Xiongying tribe."
The people of Mengshui tribe heard their conversation and asked, "What do you want to exchange for the tuk-tuk? We have tuk-tuk in our tribe, too. You can just exchange it with us."
Jian Mo: "When did you raise the tuk-tuk? Didn't you stop raising it before?"
The people of Mengshui tribe: "We saw that you raised it well. It's not bad to squeeze some milk from it every day, so we raised it. But it's not as easy as you. It died while we were raising it. I don't know what happened?"
Jian Mo: "Didn't you raise it carefully enough?"
The people of Mengshui tribe: "I don't know. It's quite troublesome anyway. Our chief said to raise it for another year. If it still doesn't work well, forget it and don't raise it anymore."
Everyone was familiar with each other and chatted all the way to Mengshui tribe.
The people of Mengshui tribe didn't expect Jian Mo and Wu Jiong to arrive so soon. Yun Ke came to greet them in person: "Doctor Jian Mo, Chief Wu Jiong, long time no see. I'm sorry to bother you today."
Jian Mo: "You're welcome. Where is the stray beastman? Is it convenient for me to go over and take a look?"
Yun Ke: "It's arranged in an empty house in our tribe. I'll take you there now."
They exchanged a few simple pleasantries and went directly to see the stray beastman.
The stray beastman was placed in the empty house, and the beastmen of Mengshui tribe were guarding outside to prevent the stray beastman from running out and causing any accidents.
Jian Mo opened the medical kit, put on the gloves and mask first, and then distributed the masks to others so that they could wear them more safely.
No one refused.
After entering, Jian Mo knew why the people of Mengshui tribe were so angry the first time he saw the little beastman.
The little beastman inside was too small, only the size of an adult sheep, and his body was covered with thick hair scabs, making him look like the legendary mammoth.
Jian Mo often dealt with the cubs in the tribe. The beastmen were very large in size, and a cub this big was no more than three years old.
The lifespan of the beastmen was particularly long, and they would not reach adulthood until they were at least twenty years old.
Such a small cub could not be called a child, but a baby at most.
I don’t know which tribe is so wicked to let the baby wander out.
Jian Mo also became angry. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said to the kid in front of him in a soft voice: "I am Jian Mo, the witch doctor of the Riverside Tribe. I came to check on you. I won't hurt you, don't be afraid." The kid
shrank back and said nothing.
Jian Mo saw that the kid was not struggling, so he walked over and gently touched the kid's head, trying to comfort him.
Wu Jiong was right next to him, following Jian Mo closely. If anything happened, he would immediately take action to ensure Jian Mo's safety.
Jian Mo touched the kid for a while before treating him.
The kid's thick fur was almost turning into felt, and the felt was filled with a mess of dried blood, dry grass, and dust, emitting a strong odor. It was unknown how long it hadn't been taken care of.
Under normal circumstances, the cubs will lick their fur, bathe themselves, and keep themselves clean.
This is almost a biological instinct. It is actually very rare for this stray cub to not take care of his fur at all. No wonder the people of Mengshui tribe wondered if he was a little fool.
Putting all kinds of speculations to the bottom of his heart, Jian Mo began to check the condition of the cub.
The cub was very thin, and his four paws were thin and bony, but he was not deformed, and there were no bleeding or rotting wounds on his body. He just had a lot of parasites and several skin diseases.
In this case, he must be shaved.
Jian Mo told the people of Mengshui tribe about his idea: "I need to shave the hair of this cub and do further processing. If possible, you can bring me a large basin of hot water, and prepare soap and other things."
Yun Yan agreed: "We will prepare it now. Do you want a knife?"
Jian Mo opened the medical kit: "No, I have scissors and razors here, just use mine. You can shave his hair now. You'd better leave two people here. I will call you when I need help."
Yun Yan also agreed: "I will stay here."
Jian Mo nodded: "Then I will start."
When Jian Mo was shearing the cub's hair, the cub hid again, but Jian Mo gently pressed his back, and he stopped hiding. Instead, he felt like he had given up.
Maybe he encountered something when he was wandering that made him realize that hiding was useless.
Jian Mo sighed inwardly and continued to cut the cub's hair.
First, cut off the long hair with scabs, and then shave off the short hair. It would probably take some effort.
Fortunately, the cub cooperated very well and it should be almost done in half a morning.
Jian Mo comforted the cub while cutting his hair. When cutting sensitive parts, Jian Mo would specially protect them with his hands before cutting.
The cub felt Jian Mo's gentle movements, turned his head and looked at him, his eyes flashing.
