Chapter 88 The Truth
The hair on the stray beastman was very long and tangled, making it difficult to handle.
Jian Mo first cut off the long hair on the stray beastman, then took a razor and carefully shaved off the short hair on the beastman's body, leaving only a layer of furry stubble.
This is much cleaner, and it is also easier for Jian Mo to examine the beastman.
The spine of the little guy who shaved off his hair was bald, and his ribs were clearly visible.
The little guy who showed his face looked very handsome, and his eyes were even more gentle.
Jian Mo looked at this little guy and knew that he had a good temper.
He turned around and called Wu Jiong: "Help me carry him to the bathtub, we will give him a bath."
Wu Jiong walked over, picked up the little guy, and took him to the bathtub prepared by the Mengshui tribe outside the house.
Jian Mo followed behind and said to the little guy: "Let's give you a bath. You have freshly cut hair on your body. It will itch if you don't take a bath."
The little guy didn't react or resist.
Wu Jiong gently put the little guy on the edge of the bathtub.
Jian Mo squatted down, first touched the little guy's head, then scooped a spoonful of hot water with a spoon and poured it down his back.
The little guy shivered, and Jian Mo stroked his chin to comfort him, and the little guy soon calmed down.
The two first poured hot water over the kid, and then made him lather with soap.
The soap of the Mengshui tribe was exchanged in the riverside tribe. The foam was rich and delicate, and it smelled of a faint herbal fragrance. It should be very comfortable to wash on the body.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were very careful to avoid the bruised areas of the kid's skin, so as not to sting him with soap.
After washing with soap and rinsing with clean water, Jian Mo wrapped the kid with a clean cloth and wiped off the moisture on his body surface, while Wu Jiong carried him to the sun to bask in the sun.
The two surrounded the kid and took out herbal ointment for treating skin diseases to apply to the kid.
The herbal ointment is an ointment with animal oil as the base and various herbal juices added. It feels cool when applied and has a herbal fragrance.
As he was applying it, big tears suddenly came out of the boy's eyes, and then he sobbed.
Jian Mo paused for a moment, took the clean cloth beside him to wipe his tears, and patted his back gently: "It's okay, it's safe."
The boy was still crying.
Jian Mo wiped his tears and applied the ointment on him at the same time, and did not stop him.
He cried for a long time, and at noon, the people of the Mengshui tribe came to bring them food, and specially prepared a pot of meat soup for the little beastman.
The meat in the meat soup was chopped very finely, and there was a little soup. It was obvious that the person who made it spent a lot of thought.
The little beastman took a look and burst into tears again. He opened his mouth and whispered, "Thank you."
The sub-beastman who delivered the meal was stunned for a moment and looked at Jian Mo: "The little guy can speak?"
Jian Mo was also surprised and shook his head lightly, indicating that he didn't know.
The sub-beastman who delivered the meal immediately said, "I'll go call our tribe leader over."
Yun Ke came over quickly and touched the little beastman's head: "What's your name?"
Yun Ke was born with a pair of smiling eyes and a gentle temperament. He was very friendly and patiently squatted in front of the little beastman, looking very good-tempered.
The little beastman moved to Jian Mo's knees and replied after a while: "Xing Yuan, I'll wake up Yuan."
Things would be easier if the little guy was willing to speak.
Everyone surrounded the little guy and asked him where he came from and why he was wandering in the wilderness?
The young man told the whole story in a disjointed manner.
It turned out that the two fathers of the young man were from the Qinglin tribe. They were old and decided to leave the tribe to travel.
The couple got married at a very young age and had never been able to conceive. Unexpectedly, during the journey, the beastman became pregnant. Because they were too old, the beastman did not realize that she was pregnant. By the time they realized that they had a child, the child was already older.
The couple was shocked and immediately rushed back to the tribe.
They could not get back to the tribe in time, and Xingyuan was born halfway. For safety reasons, the couple found a tribe to stay temporarily. When Xingyuan grew up a little, his two fathers discussed it and thought that it would be better for his growth to take him back to the Qinglin tribe.
Unfortunately, the young man's father aged rapidly during the journey and passed away. His father realized that they might not be able to return to the Qinglin tribe, so he tried to take the young man to a place where people lived and entrusted him to a certain tribe.
Although the young man's father was quite skilled and the journey was smooth, he could not overcome the pain of aging and the death of his partner. Halfway through the journey, the young man's father also passed away. Before he died, the young man's father told him to grow his hair long, follow the river, and find the tribe where the beastmen lived.
The young man obeyed the instructions and tried to find a tribe along the river.
But he was too young, and was chased by several waves of beasts along the way. He left the river and took many detours.
Fortunately, he was an orc, and his natural hunting ability was not bad. His thick hair also helped him to resist many attacks. He escaped successfully every time, and then returned to the river and walked along the river. Later, he finally met people from the Mengshui tribe.
Everyone didn't expect that the little guy's journey was so tortuous. Many people wiped their tears when they heard it.
Jian Mo also felt sad. The local orcs and sub-orcs have the tradition of traveling when they are old, in order to avoid the sadness of death and try to see a bigger world in the last days of their lives. It just so happens that after death, they can leave their bodies to the wild beasts outside to eat.
The couple had been waiting for a child all their lives, but now the child came. It
was fate, and that was probably it.
Yun Yi patted the boy's back gently: "You will live in our Mengshui tribe from now on. This is your home."
The boy hesitated and nodded.
Yun Yi stroked his chin gently and wiped his tears: "Our tribe is very good. You will know when you get familiar with it."
The boy nodded again.
After making sure that the boy was fine, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong planned to return to the Riverside Tribe for the time being.
Jian Mo refused to charge the boy for his treatment, so the people of the Mengshui tribe helped him replace the three male tuk-tuk with three new tuk-tuks, one male and two females, as compensation for him.
Jian Mo accepted this.
After they returned to the riverside tribe, Jian Mo still felt bad and said to Wu Jiong: "It's inhumane for the old couples to go out and wander."
Wu Jiong: "It's a tradition left over from the time when food was scarce. Many older couples would go out. Before you came, we would sometimes go hungry in winter. We had no choice."
Jian Mo tiredly rested his forehead on his shoulder: "There will be a way in the future. At least our tribe should not let the old couples go out."
Wu Jiong touched the back of Jian Mo's head: "Okay."
Jian Mo was worried about the wandering little beastman Xingyuan, so the next day he packed some items such as cloth and sausage, ready to bring them to Xingyuan.
When going downstairs, Jian Mo hesitated for a moment, then turned back to get a knife and put it in the basket.
When they went outside, Wu Jiong was already waiting in the yard. Jian Mo took out the knife and showed it to Wu Jiong: "I want to give this knife to Xingyuan. It is not easy for the little guy to find the Mengshui tribe."
Wu Jiong had no objection: "He may be more cheerful after he has personal property."
Jian Mo: "I think so too. With something in hand, he may feel more secure."
They are going to the Mengshui tribe today and plan to ride Jiujiu directly there.
Jiujiu can fly in a straight line and is much faster than them running.
Jiujiu is very happy to go out with them. She doesn't mind flying with them on her back at all. She keeps chirping all the way and is very happy.
Jian Mo patted Jiujiu on the back and felt much better.
When Jian Mo saw the stray little beastman Xingyuan, he saw that the skin disease on his body had stopped oozing, his brows were relaxed, and he was even happier.
As expected of a little beastman, he has a good body, and with adequate nutrition, he recovered very quickly. After
Jian Mo examined him, he reapplied medicine and touched his head.
The little guy smiled at Jian Mo shyly, revealing a row of neat white teeth.
Jian Mo asked, "Xingyuan, can you transform?"
The little guy hesitated, nodded, squatted on the ground, and changed back to human form.
The little guy in human form was even thinner, with protruding ribs, but he had a bulging belly, which looked cute.
He was embarrassed and squatted on the ground and refused to get up.
Jian Mo took a piece of cloth out of the backpack, wrapped it around his waist, and clumsily tied a knot.
Wu Jiong couldn't bear to watch it, so he untied the knot and gently tied a new knot.
The boy touched the cloth on his body, pursed his lips to reveal a shy smile, and it was obvious that he was very happy.
Jian Mo took out a small knife with a wooden scabbard from the basket on his back and handed it to the boy: "This is a knife for you. I hope you will be strong and brave in the future and grow up quickly."
The boy's eyes were filled with joy, and he stretched out his hand to take it, but he didn't dare to.
Wu Jiong stuffed the knife into his hand: "Take it, just be careful."
The little guy took the knife and whispered: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo, thank you, Chief Wu Jiong."
The little guy with a baby voice was so adorable. Jian Mo touched his head again: "You're welcome."
Hearing that Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were coming, Yun Ke came over quickly and discussed with them without paying attention to Xing Yuan: "We want to find a couple who have no children to adopt Xing Yuan. What do you think?"
The fertility rate of people in this world is not high. For example, in the Riverside Tribe, Yu Duan and Shui Jin never had children in their entire lives. Hong Qiu and Jiang Tou also had couples but never had children.
The situation in the Mengshui tribe is similar. There are many couples in the tribe who don't have children, and it seems that it will be difficult for them to have children in the future.
They want to find a middle-aged partner to be the father of Xingyuan. The tribe will give them more supplies. I believe that if the couple really have a child, they will not mind raising another child.
Xingyuan will grow up quickly and have the ability to live alone. Even if something happens, the Mengshui tribe will take care of him and will not let him wander again.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong had no objection. Jian Mo only asked: "What does Xingyuan think? Does he accept his new father?"
Yun Ke: "We asked him, and he is willing. He said that his father had previously told him that if someone is willing to adopt him, he will live with his new father."
Since both parties were willing, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong had no objection: "Let's do it this way."
Jian Mo took the backpack over: "We brought some supplies for Xingyuan, you can give them to him."
Yun Ke: "Just give the supplies you brought."
Yun Ke smiled and said: "This is the relationship between you and Xingyuan. This child is smart and loyal, he knows it all."
Jian Mo waved his hand: "I just hope he can live a better life, I don't have any other ideas."
Wu Jiong said: "If he can't adapt to the life of your tribe, you can send him to our Riverside Tribe." Yun Qie
was surprised: "Aren't all the beast forms of the cat family and the dog family in your tribe?"
Wu Jiong: "Humans are more important, and it's okay to have other beast forms. Our tribe has also had members with other beast forms."
When beastmen and sub-beastmen become partners, not only sub-beastmen will live in the beastmen's tribe, sometimes beastmen will also live in the sub-beastmen's tribe. The Riverside Tribe has accepted several beastmen who lived with sub-beastmen.
Jian Mo heard them say this and asked about the situation of awakening the original beast form.
Xingyuan's beast form has been determined, which is a beast form similar to a mammoth. In the future, his beast form will grow very large and very brave.
Jian Mo was very happy for the little guy when he heard the news.
In any case, being strong is a good thing.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong had no objection. After consulting Xingyuan's thoughts, the Mengshui tribe found a middle-aged partner with relatively good conditions to adopt him.
His two adoptive fathers were very happy that he was successfully adopted. They specially prepared a room, clothes, etc. for Xingyuan, which looked very meticulous.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were slightly relieved by seeing this situation.
After dealing with Xingyuan's matter, Yun Ke talked to Wu Jiong and the others about serious matters: "Xingyuan was able to drift here with the beasts, which means that many beasts have migrated here. We want to go and take a look. Do you want to go with us so that we can take care of him when the time comes?"
Wu Jiong: "Have you asked Xingyuan?"
Yun Ke nodded: "We have asked. There are indeed many beasts coming from the great plains outside. We should send a team of beastmen to hunt. We should be able to catch a lot of prey."
Wu Jiong thought for a while and said, "I need to go back and discuss it with my tribesmen."
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Then we will wait for your news. Whether you are going or not, you can send someone to tell us. If you are not going, we will go by ourselves."
Wu Jiong agreed and said, "Okay, I will send someone to report to you tomorrow."
On the way back, Jian Mo sat on Jiujiu's back and asked Wu Jiong behind him curiously, "Where is the big plain outside? Isn't the territory of Yigu Tribe under our tribe and Mengshui Tribe?"
Wu Jiong circled him and explained in detail, "There is also a big plain under Yigu Tribe. Many wild beasts migrate here every spring and summer. It is more dangerous and there are many wild beasts. It does not belong to any tribe for the time being and it is an ownerless territory."
Jian Mo was curious, "Then why should we consider it? In this case, can't we just go there and hunt directly?"
Wu Jiong: "The road from our tribe to the Great Plains is quite far, and it's not easy to carry the prey back. If the beast tide doesn't come, it won't count for a trip."
Jian Mo: "Xingyuan has brought us confirmed news, so we should get a lot from a trip, right?"
Wu Jiong: "It depends on how many people want to go. If there are few people, it won't count, but if there are many people, it's okay. Let's go back to the tribe and ask first. After asking, we don't have to go with the people from the Mengshui tribe. We may form a team to go there alone."
Jian Mo understood: "Anyway, there are many things to consider, so we can't just agree."
Wu Jiong smiled: "That's what I mean."
