Chapter 9 Chirp
Although it was tiring to catch and fry fish yesterday, Jian Mo still opened his eyes on time under the influence of his biological clock and planned to get up.
Who knew that the light on the second floor was very dim, as if it was not yet dawn.
It turned out that I woke up too early, no wonder I was so tired today.
Jian Mo thought, and stopped the movement of getting up, and crawled back into the quilt.
I'd better get up at dawn.
Wu Jiong heard the movement downstairs, but he didn't see him coming down. He looked up and called out: "Jian Mo?"
Jian Mo replied in a daze: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Wu Jiong originally slept on the second floor. After Jian moved in, he went to sleep on the first floor. Only during the day would he pack the bedding and move it to the second floor.
Wu Jiong: "Are you cold? There is a fur coat in the box, put it on."
Jian Mo slowly reacted: "Has the weather changed?"
Wu Jiong: "Yes, it's late autumn."
Jian Mo got up and went to the window.
The change of seasons was quite obvious.
The leaves on the distant mountain turned yellow overnight, looking colorful.
He stood at the window for a while and clearly felt the cold. He
really had to wear a fur coat to withstand it.
Wu Jiong saw that he didn't move, so he came up to look for the fur coat together.
After searching for a long time, he finally found a relatively thin animal skin robe and gave it to Jian Mo: "It's a bit big, I'll modify it later."
Jian Mo was not as tall as him, and thinner than him. The animal skin robe looked shaky on him, and the sleeves were too long: "I'll modify it after breakfast. What do you want to eat for breakfast?"
Most of the time, they only had two meals a day, so both meals needed to be richer.
Wu Jiong: "Eat yesterday's fish nuggets and pickled vegetable meat cakes?"
Jian Mo nodded happily: "No problem, I'll cook some vegetable soup and steam some wood ding roots."
Jian Mo washed up in the cold wind and took out various pots and utensils swiftly.
They used a fire pit, and several pots could be placed on the fire pit at the same time. Vegetable leaf soup, wood ding root and steamed meat cakes could be made at the same time with only two pots. It was very fast and did not require Jian Mo to watch it all the time.
After putting the pot on the fire pit, Jian Mo took over the pot that was used to fry fish fillets yesterday.
There was still a little half pot of oil left in it. Because it had been fried for a long time, the animal oil had turned black and there were a lot of residues in it.
Since there was still enough food, Jian Mo planned not to use this pot of oil anymore.
He found a large bowl to pour out the oil, intending to take some out and mix it with plant stems to feed the flying beast.
Animal oil is a good thing, and it would be a waste to pour it out directly. It is a good choice to add a meal to the flying beast.
Both of them are nimble people.
After they finished breakfast, most people in the tribe had not finished eating yet.
Wu Jiong took the dishes and went to wash and clean the house.
Everyone was gathered and prepared to go out to collect.
Jian Mo also followed Zhou Fu and the others today.
They were relatively young and they could get along relatively well.
The people of the tribe have lived here for generations, and everyone knew exactly which mountain had what to collect.
Today's collection process was also relatively smooth.
As a rookie, Jian Mo also collected most of the food.
Zhou Fu said that there is the most food in spring and autumn, and it is very difficult to find food in winter.
Their tribe is lucky because the nearby products are relatively abundant.
If some tribes cannot get much food in summer and autumn, the orcs and sub-orcs will choose to eat for two days and go hungry for one day, and they will only eat most of the days in winter.
Jian Mo heard him say this and sighed. With low productivity, people in this world really don't have an easy life.
In the evening, when Jian Mo and his team came back, most of the beastmen who went hunting hadn't returned, and Wu Jiong and his team hadn't returned either.
After Jian Mo prepared the food, he took the food to feed the flying beast and checked its body.
As soon as the winged beast saw Jian Mo, his eyes lit up: "Chirp."
Jian Mo, carrying grass and holding a piece of mashed stem mixed with animal oil from fried fish, pushed the winged beast's head as it came over: "Why are you so greedy?"
The winged beast jumped twice on the spot: "Chirp!"
Jian Mo smiled and touched its leg: "Don't jump, you're being strangled by the rope, don't you feel pain?"
Jian Mo put the food in front of the winged beast and checked its body while it was eating.
Soon, Jian Mo found that the blood scab on the winged beast's wound fell off, revealing pink skin with animal hair growing on it.
Its wings seemed to be almost healed.
At least when Jian Mo touched it, it didn't show any strange expression.
Just now it flapped its wings, and Jian Mo did not find any lag in its movements, which means that it no longer hurts when it moves its wings.
The healing ability of the winged beast is really strong, but I wonder how the healing ability of the orcs and sub-beasts is?
It should be good. Although everyone knows that he is a veterinarian, no one has come to see him so far, except Hong Qiu at the beginning.
The winged beast always eats very quickly. It finished eating in a short while and looked up at Jian Mo eagerly.
Jian Mo spread his hands: "I don't have anything to eat here. Wait a moment, wait until we finish dinner and see if there are any leftovers for you."
The winged beast: "Chirp."
They may not always have leftover food, but the stone slabs and stone pots used for cooking can be washed with some water, and then various vegetable peels and leaves can be put in to cook, and then brought to the winged beast as a snack.
The winged beast is a big eater and does not mind such food. After
Jian Mo fed the winged beast, he returned to Wu Jiong's house with a backpack.
The two bumped into each other head-on, and Wu Jiong asked: "Did you just feed the winged beast?"
"Yes." Jian Mo walked side by side with him, "I just checked it again, and the wings of the winged beast are almost healed, and it is estimated that it can fly."
Wu Jiong: "I'll go and take a look."
Jian Mo had just come back from watching the flying beast, and seeing this, he followed him to see the flying beast. When
the flying beast saw Jian Mo, it still maintained great enthusiasm, and chirped at him from a distance. In the whole tribe, he was the only one who could receive such treatment.
When he came closer, the flying beast saw that his back was empty, and it lowered its head and sighed: "Hmm."
Jian Mo patted its fat butt: "I'll feed you later."
The flying beast: "Chirp."
Wu Jiong gently pulled the wings of the flying beast to let it move.
The flying beast was afraid of Wu Jiong, and dared not move, allowing Wu Jiong to move.
Jian Mo watched from the side and asked expectantly: "How is it? Is the flying beast in good condition?"
Wu Jiong: "It feels normal to the touch. You can find time to train it."
Jian Mo couldn't help but get excited: "Train it to fly in the sky carrying people?"
Wu Jiong nodded.
Jian Mo: "What tools do we need? Do we have to hurry up and make the tools?"
Wu Jiong: "Nothing is needed, just use a strong rope to make a lasso."
Jian Mo immediately said: "Do we have ropes at home? Or should we ask someone for some? Qing Kuang has ropes, and the ropes he makes are especially good!"
Wu Jiong: "I'll go ask."
Jian Mo urged him: "Go quickly, I'll stay here with the flying beast."
The flying beast didn't know that they were ready to ride it yet, and it stared at Jian Mo with its big round eyes, full of excitement.
It nudged Jian Mo with its big head, urging Jian Mo to play with it.
Jian Mo touched its furry head, and to ensure safety, he stood diagonally in front of it and didn't get too close.
Wu Jiong came over quickly with a rope, followed by a large group of people.
"Jian Mo, we're here!"
"Can we ride the winged beast?"
"Quick, quick, give me the rope so I can tie a knot."
Everyone rushed up without even needing Jian Mo to answer.
Jian Mo turned around and happened to make eye contact with Wu Jiong.
Wu Jiong nodded slightly.
While they were looking at each other, everyone had already skillfully tied the rope into a lasso, and then covered the winged beast inside.
The winged beast seemed a little uncomfortable, shaking its head to hide, but was quickly pinned down by everyone.
The struggling winged beast soon gave up struggling and lay there, letting everyone manipulate it, manipulating it thoroughly.
Jian Mo retreated to Wu Jiong's side and asked in a low voice: "Isn't the lasso a bit simple?"
Wu Jiong looked up and said: "It's almost done, it's tied firmly."
Jian Mo suddenly realized: "The tribe had winged beasts before, can you tame them?"
Wu Jiong nodded: "It's not too difficult, just make it fly."
Jian Mo: "What if it messes around in the air? It's very dangerous in the air, right?"
"You can change back into beast form and push it down directly." Wu Jiong replied, "Beastmen are very agile. As long as it doesn't fall to death, it is impossible for it to kill the beastman on its back."
This training method is really simple and crude.
While they were talking, Ban Ming could not wait to come up: "Chief, Jian Moge, you two chat first, I'll try the flying beast."
Wu Jiong looked at him and handed him the reins: "Be careful!"
Ban Ming immediately said: "Don't worry, our spirit cat tribe can jump from 30 or 40 meters without any harm."
Wu Jiong: "I know."
Ban Ming adjusted his animal skin skirt, pulled the reins, and jumped onto the back of the flying beast very handsomely.
He sat steadily on the shoulder blade of the flying beast, pulled the reins, and wanted to make the flying beast take off.
Unexpectedly, the flying beast lay there, with its eyelids drooping, motionless.
Ban Ming: “???”
Ban Ming jumped off the winged beast, looked at it left and right for several times, pulled the reins and urged: "Why don’t you fly? Your injury has healed, right?"
The winged beast lay there weakly: "Oh."
Onlookers:
"Does its wings still hurt?"
"I saw that other tribes with winged beasts also fly when you pull their wings. This should be how you fly a winged beast."
"Maybe this is a lone winged beast and it has never learned to cooperate with humans."
Ban Ming struggled for a long time, but the winged beast refused to fly.
Ban Ming was so anxious that he was sweating. He asked Jian Mo for confirmation: "Brother Jian Mo, is its injury healed?"
Jian Mo nodded in the crowd: "Theoretically, it should be almost healed."
Ban Ming: "Then why doesn't it pay attention to me?!"
Ban Ming stretched out his hand and rubbed the neck of the flying beast: "Fly quickly! Useless animals in our tribe will be killed for meat!"
The flying beast understood, shuddered, and still lay down, shrinking its head and not moving.
No matter how Ban Ming struggled, it refused to give more responses, which made Ban Ming lose his temper.
The people around him looked at Ban Ming with sweat all over his head and laughed at him.
Another beastman came out: "Then I'll try."
Jian Mo recognized that he was Ban Ming's father Di Ya.
Ban Ming pulled the reins again, but the flying beast still refused to move, so Ban Ming reluctantly jumped off the flying beast.
Di Ya hadn't had time to get on.
The flying beast suddenly turned its head and rubbed Jian Mo with its furry head: "Chirp."
Di Ya stopped walking: "This guy seems to recognize people?"
Everyone looked at Jian Mo.
Qing Kuang said to Jian Mo: "Did the flying beast ask you to get on?"
Jian Mo was not sure: "Call me?"
Before he finished speaking, the flying beast rubbed Jian Mo again under everyone's attention: "Chirp."
Di Ya looked at the flying beast and then at Jian Mo, and said with a smile: "Maybe it really has its eyes on you, but it's too dangerous for you to ride it."
Wu Jiong spoke up from behind: "I'll go up with him."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they all agreed.
Jian Mo hesitated, and the flying beast turned around and looked at him eagerly: "Chirp."
Jian Mo said: "I'll try."
Wu Jiong grabbed the reins, controlled the flying beast, and let Jian Mo go up.
When the flying beast saw Jian Mo coming, it lay on the ground, with its huge wings spread out, like a house.
Jian Mo climbed onto its back a little clumsily, and it remained motionless, showing extraordinary patience, which formed a sharp contrast with when Ban Ming was on its back just now.
Ban Ming watched from the side, and almost shed a few bitter tears for himself.
Jian Mo climbed onto the back of the flying beast, sat down a little forward of its shoulder blades, and gently patted its neck to comfort it.
Wu Jiong lightly jumped onto the flying beast, and sat down behind Jian Mo, holding the reins with one hand and holding Jian Mo's waist with the other.
Jian Mo's body was smaller than Wu Jiong's, and now he was held in his arms, with his back pressed against his strong and hot chest, and his whole body almost shrunk into his arms.
This made Jian Mo move uncomfortably, trying to avoid his breath.
Wu Jiong's arms tightened a little: "Don't move, be careful not to fall!"
Jian Mo quickly sat up straight and grabbed the winged beast's hair with both hands: "Okay."
Wu Jiong pulled the reins: "You can let the winged beast fly."
Jian Mo received the instruction, patted the winged beast, and shouted to it: "Can you fly?"
The winged beast let out a long cry: "Chi——"
Then, it stood up, ran forward a few steps, and flapped its wings to fly up.
It looked very strong.
Jian Mo had taken many planes before, but sitting on the back of a winged beast was much more exciting than taking a plane.
With a burst of lift and weightlessness, the winged beast successfully flew into the sky.
Although its injured wings were still a little unnatural, it did not hinder it from soaring in the air at all.
Jian Mo tightly grasped the hair of the winged beast. At this moment, Wu Jiong's arm across his waist and his strong chest gave him a great sense of security.
What kind of beast is this? It's clearly a human-shaped safety belt!
The whistling wind blew in his face, and Jian Mo could hardly open his eyes.
However, when he looked down, he could see the entire tribe, the people who were looking forward to it, the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the sun in the sky.
This view is really great!
Jian Mo held his breath and widened his eyes. It was so magnificent.
Wu Jiong said in Jian Mo's ear: "Don't be afraid."
Jian Mo shouted in the air: "I, I, I'm not afraid, it's just a little exciting!"
Wu Jiong: "Okay."
Wu Jiong tried to command the winged beast.
The winged beast was very smart. When they pulled the reins upward, it flew upward. When they gently pressed its head, it flew downward. It flapped its left wing to fly left, and flapped its right wing to fly right.
It was obviously the first time it hit them, but it flew very smoothly.
They directed the winged beast to fly a circle in the sky, and soon landed on the ground.
Jian Mo rubbed his face, which was almost numb from the wind.
The winged beast had not flown in the sky for a long time. After landing on the ground, it still seemed to be unsatisfied. It stood there and excitedly called out twice: "Chirp-Chirp--"
Seeing its look, Ban Ming jumped on its back and tried to let it fly again.
The winged beast turned its head to take a look, squatted on the ground, and refused to cooperate at all.
Ban Ming looked at it gloomily: "It seems that it is unwilling to carry anyone other than Brother Jian Mo alone."
Di Ya: "It seems to be true. Jian Mo, you should go up again and see if it will be willing to fly when you are on its back?"
Jian Mo hesitated, and Di Ya invited him cheerfully: "How about you try it? My beast form is also very powerful, and I won't let you fall."
Jian Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's not what I meant."
After thinking about it, Jian Mo still climbed onto the back of the winged beast and tried to make the winged
beast fly again. With Jian Mo there, the winged beast really took off again.
After the two got off, Ban Ju also flew with Jian Mo once.
Everyone discovered that the winged beast was indeed willing to fly only when Jian Mo was on its back.
Seeing this situation, everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"How come this guy has chosen someone?"
"He is indeed quite smart."
"How about Jian Mo, why don't you take this winged beast back and raise it? It was you who saved it anyway."
"The tribe can provide half of the food, and you can raise it together with Jian Mo. Let Jian Mo ride it normally, and when necessary, let Jian Mo take others to ride it."
Everyone gave various suggestions and looked up at Jian Mo.
Receiving everyone's gaze, Jian Mo looked at the flying beast and finally nodded: "If the tribe has no objection, I am willing to raise it."
Wu Jiong: "You raise it, and the tribe will provide half of the food."
Banju: "That's great! Brother Jian Mo, can you give it a name? I see that the flying beasts of other tribes have names."
Jian Mo: "How about calling it Jiujiu? It will chirp when it is happy. I hope it can always be happy in the tribe."
Everyone has no objection.
The flying beast patted its wings lightly beside it: "Chirp!"
Jian Mo rubbed it happily: "Chirp!"
