Chapter 97 Kiln Fish
The giant bear that Shu Guang transformed into slept in the cave for a whole day and woke up at night.
Jian Mo was standing by. When he heard the noise, he hurried over and asked, "How are you now?"
The giant bear seemed to be more awake. He stared at the top of the cave with his eyes squinting, and murmured, "I thought I had to go to see the beast god this time."
Jian Mo said tiredly, "I probably can't go for the time being."
The giant bear grinned and said, "Thank you very much this time."
Jian Mo: "You're welcome. You've already thanked me during the day. Do you feel any discomfort?"
Giant bear: "Thirsty, I'm very, very thirsty now."
Generally speaking, after intestinal surgery, you can drink a small amount of water after six hours of abstention.
Jian Mo was not sure if the giant bear was the same, nor was he sure about the effect of the beast intestines. He did not dare to let him drink more water, so he gently poured him a third of a bowl of water, intending to moisten him.
As soon as the giant bear saw the water, he immediately sat up to drink it. Jian Mo quickly stopped him: "Don't move! Be careful that the wound thread will break, I will feed you!"
The giant bear sighed: "It's like being disabled."
Jian Mo: "If you move around, you will probably be disabled. When I sewed your wound, I couldn't find the right thread, so I used the intestines of the ox-beast. You know that intestine, it's not strong at all, it will break with the slightest movement."
The giant bear: "Got it."
Jian Mo brought a small spoon and fed him water one spoonful at a time.
The giant bear tasted it and couldn't help it: "This spoonful doesn't have as much saliva as my saliva, Doctor Jian Mo, why don't you pour it directly into my mouth?"
Jian Mo: "You can't drink too much water, you'd better taste it slowly, it will be gone after you finish drinking it, so you don't have to be greedy." The
giant bear lay down and said: "Alas, next time I will never be injured so badly."
This sighing giant bear is slightly different from the wise Chief Shu Guang. Jian Mo guessed that he was affected by the beast form.
Beastmen are indeed more easily affected by the beast form.
For example, Wu Jiong's personality is relatively calm and restrained. When he turned into a giant wolf, he liked to touch Jian Mo with his mouth, which was actually a coquettish act.
Jian Mo thought of this and turned back to look at Wu Jiong.
Wu Jiong asked with his eyes: What's wrong?
Jian Mo shook his head and turned back to feed the giant bear water.
The Qinhai tribesmen wanted to take over, but he did not let them. The bear that was rescued with great difficulty could not fail in the postoperative care.
After feeding the giant bear water, Jian Mo checked his condition again.
Perhaps it was because of its strong vitality, the giant bear recovered quite well. There was no redness or swelling or exudation on the wound, and it seemed to be in good condition.
His mental state was also good. Except that his personality became a little bold, which might be due to the influence of the beast form, there was no other change.
Jian Mo instructed: "Chief Shu Guang, you absolutely need to stay in bed in this situation. Don't move if you can. Don't change back to human form, and don't sit up. Try to endure going to the toilet. If you can't endure it, lie down."
The giant bear agreed.
Shu Ming, the beastman next to him, said, "Doctor Jian Mo, don't worry, we will keep an eye on him."
Jian Mo: "Okay, you guys should pay attention. He has been rescued. If he dies because of these little things, it would be too unfair. He might be laughed at for hundreds of years after his death."
This is definitely a threat. No tribe leader can tolerate his stupid death and make the tribe laugh at him.
The giant bear, who was trying to pupate, became honest after hearing this: "I really won't move."
Jian Mo encouraged him: "Be patient. I'm going to sleep first. Call me in time if you have anything."
Jian Mo hadn't slept for two days and one night. After giving instructions, he took Wu Jiong back to the temporary cave to sleep.
He slept well, and when he went to see the giant bear again, the giant bear had recovered better.
Jian Mo asked the people of Qinhai tribe to cook some meat soup, put more minced meat in it, and give the giant bear half a bowl of it.
The people of Qinhai tribe hurried to prepare.
The giant bear seemed to have recovered well for the time being, and there was no sign of the wound breaking, but Jian Mo was not sure if there would be any accidents.
Wu Jiong still had things to do with the Riverside Tribe, so he had to go back first.
Jian Mo planned to stay in Qinhai for a few more days, so that if anything happened, he could start rescue in time. It would
take too much time to rush over from the Riverside Tribe, and if Shu Guang had any accident, he would definitely not be able to delay for so long.
Wu Jiong agreed with Jian Mo's idea and said that he would come to pick him up in a few days.
In order to prevent accidents, Wu Jiong specially kept Jiujiu.
Jiujiu has no fighting power at all, but if something happens, it is no problem for her to carry Jian Mo and escape.
Before going back, Wu Jiong also solemnly asked Shu Ming, Kuang Ning and others to take care of Jian Mo.
When they came here to collect large-leaf garlic and flour grass last year, they had a friendship with Kuang Ning, and now both parties are considered to be good friends.
Everyone agreed solemnly.
After Wu Jiong got a positive reply, he walked away, looking back every few steps.
Kuang Ning said to Jian Mo: "I really didn't realize that Chief Wu Jiong was like this before."
Jian Mo smiled: "He just doesn't trust me very much, and seems a little anxious."
Kuang Ning glanced at Jian Mo twice: "You have a really good relationship."
Jian Mo asked back: "You and Jin Ping don't have a good relationship?"
Kuang Ning heard him mention his partner, chuckled twice, and did not refute.
Jian Mo stayed temporarily in the Qinhai tribe. The people of the Qinhai tribe were very polite to him. They gave him rich meals and drinks every day and responded to his requests. Whenever he gave an order, many people would come to help.
He didn't have much to do. Apart from checking on Shu Guang's condition and making suggestions, there was nothing else to do. He had a lot of free time every day.
On this day, Jian Mo saw that the weather was good and the temperature was high. He found soap from his personal belongings and planned to take Jiujiu to take a bath.
They were too busy during this period and didn't pay much attention to Jiujiu. Jiujiu was almost smelly.
Jian Mo saw that it played with the cubs of the Qinhai tribe every day and felt that it was too dirty.
The cubs had relatively weak resistance. It would be terrible if the dirty Jiujiu made the cubs sick.
Jiujiu is used to taking a bath and can swim. Its big wings can paddle the water and it swims well. It has no objection to taking a bath.
When it heard that it was going to take a bath, it took the initiative to hold the bag in its mouth and followed Jian Mo, waddling forward like a duck.
Compared with the big dogs that Jian Mo had bathed before, Jiujiu was much more obedient.
When they arrived at the bathing section of the river, Jian Mo directly let it sit in the shallow water, wet its hair, and rubbed its body hard with soap.
For places that Jian Mo could not reach, he had to let it lie down and continue rubbing.
Jiujiu's body was covered with gray-yellow bubbles. It lay on its back with its eyes rolling around. It looked very obedient and cute. Jian Mo could not help but rub a big bubble and put it on its head.
When Jian Mo was bathing Jiujiu, many people from the Qinhai tribe passed by the river. Seeing this, they all stopped and asked Jian Mo enthusiastically if he needed help.
Jian Mo declined all of them.
After bathing Jiujiu and wiping it roughly, Jian Mo let it lie on the pebbles by the river to dry its fur.
It was too tiring to dry it manually. The sun was strong now, so it would be dried quickly if it lay down to dry its fur.
After Jiujiu dried its back, it could lie down to dry its front. The weather was not bad enough to cause it to have a heat stroke. It was perfect.
Just as Jiujiu was drying its fur, the cubs of the Qinhai tribe came over.
Among these cubs, there were little beastmen and little sub-beastmen who could already transform into human form, as well as little bears who could not yet transform.
The little bear saw Jiujiu lying by the river and ran over to cuddle with it.
Other humanoid cubs also came over to watch.
After watching for a while, one cub asked, "Jiujiu, do you want to come and watch us fishing?"
Jiujiu caught the key words and opened his eyes: "Jiujiu?"
The cubs:
"We plan to go fishing by the river."
"The fish in this river are fat and delicious."
"There are fish roe! The fish now have fish roe, very fragrant!"
Before Jiujiu could react, the cubs were already full of themselves and began to swallow their saliva.
Swallowing saliva is almost a universal pattern for all creatures. Jiujiu understood it immediately and flapped its wings excitedly: "Jiujiu!"
The cubs hurriedly touched Jiujiu's soft fur and buttocks: "Jiujiu, don't worry, we'll go now."
The cubs took Jiujiu and ran home to get the fishing rod and bait.
Similar to modern fishing rods, the fishing rods of the Qinhai tribe consist of a short wooden pole and a fishing line and fish hook underneath.
The fish hook is a "V"-shaped fish bone, on which a large piece of plump meat can be hooked.
After placing the bait, people can throw the fish hook into the water and start fishing.
With the fishing rod, the children took Jiujiu to the upper reaches of the river, a place similar to a dam, sat on a stone, and threw the fishing line and bait into the water.
The children chattered:
"Jiujiu, wait a moment, you will catch fish soon."
"I caught a big fish longer than my arm last year."
"My brother caught a big fish longer than a cave."
"My father doesn't need to fish, he just jumps in and catches it." When
it comes to food, Jiujiu always reacts very quickly and listens very clearly.
It was drooling over the cubs' tricks, but unfortunately, the cubs were very enthusiastic and serious, but their skills were not very good. After a long time of fishing, they still couldn't catch any fish.
Jiujiu squatted behind like a poor puppy, well-behaved and helpless.
The cubs would turn around to look at it, touch its wings to comfort it:
"Jiujiu, wait a little longer, the fish will be caught soon."
"We will give you the most delicious fish belly later."
"Jiujiu, you are so good."
Jian Mo came to see it twice. Jiujiu played well with the cubs, but the cubs drew one big cake after another, but the bucket was still empty, and Jiujiu couldn't even smell the fishy smell.
Seeing Jian Mo coming for the third time, Jiujiu turned around and looked at him pitifully: "Ying."
The cubs turned their heads, whether they were humanoid cubs or bears, they all spoke obediently: "Brother Jian Mo--"
Such polite cubs are rare. Jian Mo touched them one by one, especially the soft bear: "Can you lend me your fishing rods?"
The cubs were very generous: "Brother Jian Mo, just take it if you want."
Jian Mo smiled: "Thank you."
Jian Mo saw that the animal meat they used for bait was cut into large pieces, which was very convenient for the fish to take it away in one bite.
Taking a fishing rod, Jian Mo picked a piece of bait and cut it into four pieces with the dagger he carried with him. He hung one of the pieces on the fish hook, cut the other pieces of meat, and threw them directly into the water to make a nest.
The cubs stopped fishing and came to watch Jian Mo fishing.
There might be a lot of fish here. Jian Mo just threw the hook down and a fish came to bite the hook immediately.
He quickly lifted the fishing rod and a big silver fish was caught under the fishing line. When he just moved the fishing rod to the shore, the fish struggled and fell to the ground with a plop. One
of the little bears was very agile. He stepped on the fish with one paw and then held the big fish tightly with his two front paws.
The cubs reacted in unison:
"Wow - Brother Jian Mo, you are so amazing."
"What a big fish!"
"So fat and delicious!"
The cubs surrounded Jian Mo and chattered, their emotions were full.
Jian Mo asked them to carry the fish farther away.
A kid looked at Jiujiu, then at Jian Mo, and asked, "Brother Jian Mo, is it okay to give it to Jiujiu? It's already full."
Jian Mo: "You can't feed it raw fish, and you shouldn't eat it either. There may be parasites in the fish, and if you eat it, they may grow in your intestines."
The kid: "Is that true?"
Jian Mo: "It's true, some parasites can grow as long as a cave."
Jian Mo vividly described the parasites he had seen and heard about during his career.
The kids shrank back in fear: "Ah——"
Jian Mo looked at the little bears and cubs huddled together and wanted to laugh, but he forced himself to hold it back.
Maybe he was lucky today, or maybe it was his first time fishing in the orc world and there was a novice protection period.
Since Jian Mo caught the first fish, fish kept biting his hook, and soon he caught several big fish.
An adult from the Qinhai tribe passed by and took the initiative to stay and help deal with the fish, and caught some more fish.
Summer fish are indeed very plump and long.
Jian Mo looked through them and said to a group of cubs next to him: "I'll teach you a new way to grill fish, do you want it?" The
cubs shouted: "Yes--"
The bear cubs who reacted slower quickly followed: "Wow--"
Jian Mo smiled and asked people to go back to the temporary cave where he lived, bring over the seasoning powder he brought, and a can of animal oil.
After all the seasonings were brought over, Jian Mo used them to spread evenly on the processed big fish, and then spread a thin layer of animal oil on it, and then wrapped it with non-toxic giant leaves. After tying it up, he wrapped it with a layer of river mud.
The kids looked at the strange-looking mud bags with suspicion on their faces.
Jian Mo smiled mysteriously: "Don't look at its strange appearance, you will know after it is baked."
The kids were skeptical, and they were also very suspicious when they heard the news and saw the adults.
However, at Jian Mo's request, everyone still started a bonfire, put the mud bags on the bonfire one by one, put firewood on them, and continued to burn.
Jian Mo kept observing the color of the mud bags in the fire. When the mud bags burned to white and the moisture was initially burned dry, he asked people to dig out the mud bags and then smash them open.
The mud bag that had lost its moisture broke into pieces with a light hit, revealing the yellow-green leaves inside.
The fresh aroma of the grilled fish wafted out.
Jian Mo used a wooden stick to pull apart the leaves, revealing the plump and tender fish meat inside.
Because it was wrapped and grilled, the juice inside was particularly abundant, and the animal oil and seasoning powder also penetrated into the meat very well, smelling particularly fresh and fragrant.
The cubs looked at the grilled fish in unison: "Wow——"
Jian Mo opened the other mud bags: "I told you I didn't lie to you, right?"
The cubs: "Yes!"
Jian Mo opened the mud bags one by one, letting the cubs share them themselves, and even took a mud bag specifically for Jiujiu.
Jiujiu wanted to eat but was afraid of being burned, so he grabbed the fish with his two paws and put it down, put it down and picked it up again, and cried anxiously, but he didn't mean to give up at all.
Jian Mo found it funny and ignored it.
The cubs were the same, especially the little bears that couldn't transform yet.
These white little bears looked like giant glutinous rice balls, stretching their paws to touch the freshly grilled fish, and the heat blew on their paws.
They were burned and anxious, so they took a short break for two breaths and tried to grab the grilled fish again, and then the heat blew on their paws again.
Some of the little bears were so burned that they jumped up, and their fat bellies and buttocks shook, making them look more like elastic glutinous rice balls.
The adults around them couldn't help laughing.
After Jian Mo distributed the grilled fish to the kids, he began to distribute it to the adults: "This fish doesn't have many bones, can the kids eat it? Will they get choked?"
Kuang Ning said: "Yes, they usually eat it by themselves. The kids in our Qinhai tribe never get choked by bones."
Another adult laughed: "They have already trained themselves to eat fish, don't worry, Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo: "Then I'm relieved, everyone try my grilled fish."
Kuang Ning held a piece of grilled fish with a leaf: "The cooking method of this fish is very special, why do we wrap it in mud?"
Jian Mo: "It's mainly to seal the freshness and juice of the fish inside, and to prevent it from burning. We sometimes use a kiln to roast it there."
He hasn't eaten kiln chicken, kiln fish and the like for a long time, it seems that his skill in grilling fish is not as good as before.
It's a pity that Wu Jiong is not here today. We'll do it again when we return to their Riverside Tribe.
