A Clever Solution (Continued)

He used boiled, disposable wooden needles. The little orc's fingers were being held by him; he wanted to dodge but dared not, and two lines of tears streamed down his cheeks.

Upon seeing Kuang Ning arrive, the little orc looked up at him, then at Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo, could you please be gentle?"

Jian Mo said gently, "Okay, baby, be brave and don't struggle, okay? I'll be done soon."

The little orc nodded vigorously. "Doctor Jian Mo, hurry up!"

Jian Mo deftly pricked the little orc's knuckles a few times, releasing tissue fluid and dark blood droplets, then squeezed a few more times. "All done. What a brave little one."

The little orc breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Jian Mo took off her gloves, rummaged through the basket, and took out three digestive pills wrapped in withered leaves from a leather bag. "Take one tonight, and one each tomorrow morning and tomorrow night. You should be almost fully recovered. Eat a light diet for the next couple of days, and don't eat too much meat, especially cured meat."

The little orc's father nodded repeatedly, "Thank you Doctor Jian Mo."

Jian Mo patted the little orc's head, then put her gloves back on. "You're welcome, go back now."

Seeing that no one else was waiting, Kuang Ning sat down in the chair opposite Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo."

Jian Mo smiled, her eyes crinkling, "You're back!"

Kuang Ning nodded, then remarked with emotion, "I've only been away for a few days, and the tribe has changed so much."

Jian Mo: "You seem alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Let me see."

Kuang Ning rolled up his sleeves. "I've had these bumps for the past two years. They're a little itchy when I scratch them, but they're okay when I don't."

Jian Mo looked at his arm and Flour Fruit covered in small bumps.

The bumps were red with a small dot at the top, and there were also scratch marks on his arm, one after another.

Many bumps are just a symptom; the real causes are varied and numerous. On Earth, they can be ruled out through various tests, but in this world, it's much more difficult.

After examining it carefully, Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "You said you've been getting these bumps for the past two years, so you didn't have them before?"

Kuang Ning nodded repeatedly. "Yes, it didn't used to grow, but it suddenly started growing the summer before last. When it first started, it grew in large patches, even on my face. Later it got a little better, and it only grew on my body, and occasionally on my face, but it has never gone away."

That could be a hormonal issue, or it could be a dietary problem.

Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "Did you suddenly discover a new food the summer before last?"

Kuang Ning immediately became excited. "Yes, yes, we found the soft-thorned fruit. Could it be the problem with the soft-thorned fruit? Everyone else ate it and no one else had any problems, but I've been getting bumps since I ate it."

Jian Mo: "People are different. You might be allergic to this fruit. Are you still eating it?"

Kuang Ning was a little embarrassed. "The shell of this fruit can be used to remove fishy smells, and it tastes good when cooked with meat."

Jian Mo: "Then it might indeed be a problem with this fruit. You should stop eating it for a while and see how it goes."

Kuang Ning: "It's that simple?"

Jian Mo: "Let's give it a try, it's not certain, let's see how lucky we are?"

As she spoke, Jian Mo took out a bar of soap wrapped in leaves from the basket. "If you need to take a bath these next couple of days, you can use this. Wet it, apply it to your body, and scrub it all over. Then just rinse it off with clean water."

Kuang Ning: "Oh, okay, okay. Doctor Jian Mo, is there anything I need for you?"

Jian Mo looked up and smiled, "Give me two pieces of cured meat, that will do."

Kuang Ning: "I'll get it for you right away!"

Jian Mo originally only planned to stay in the Qin Sea Tribe for one more day to treat everyone's illnesses, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't leave on the third day.

Such a large tribe, everyone has all sorts of little quirks.

Toothache, skin disease, rheumatism, insomnia, hair loss... most of these conditions can't be solved with Jian Mo; they can only provide slight relief.

Despite this, the people of the Qin Sea Tribe were still very satisfied and extremely grateful to him.

On the afternoon of the third day, after Jian Mo finished treating the patients who had come to him, he took Wu Jiong to find Shu Guang, the chief of the Qin Sea Tribe, and told him that there were no more patients for the time being and that they were preparing to go back the next day.

Shu Guang had also had a massage with Jian Mo these past two days, which relieved his back pain. He was very grateful to Jian Mo and repeatedly said he would send them off tomorrow.

Jian Mo declined, saying they would ride back on the Flying-Winged Beast and didn't need a ride.

The Flying-Winged Beast's diet is similar to that of the Qin Sea Tribe. For the past two days, the Qin Sea Tribe has been feeding the Flying-Winged Beast one portion of food for each person.

This guy was eating food from everyone he met, and he was quite happy to have a full belly. He spent his days playing with a bunch of bear cubs from the Qin Sea Tribe.

Seeing that the Flying-Winged Beast could retract its claws and tail well and had no intention of harming anyone, and that the bear cubs of the Qin Sea Tribe were also very agile and would not be hurt by the Flying-Winged Beast, Jian Mo taught them to be careful when playing and then left them alone.

The two have now begun to develop feelings for each other and are getting along quite well.

After examining the Flying-Winged Beast, Jian Mo returned to the cave where she was temporarily staying and took stock of the supplies she had collected over the past few days.

He didn't collect many supplies from each patient, but when they were piled up, it was quite a considerable amount. It might be tough on that guy Jiujiu, when he gets back tomorrow.

Just as Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were organizing the supplies, someone outside called out to them, "Doctor Jian Mo, Chief Wu Jiong?"

Jian Mo recognized the voice and called out, "We're here, come in."

But it was Kuang Ning who entered.

Kuang Ning exclaimed excitedly, "Doctor Jian Mo, my bumps were indeed caused by the soft-thorned fruit! I haven't eaten the fruit's shell for the past two days, and no new bumps have appeared on my body, and the existing ones have almost disappeared."

Jian Mo stood up. "That's great, let me see."

Kuang Ning immediately rolled up his sleeves to show him. "Look, the bump has become very small."

Jian Mo noticed that Kuang Ning's arm skin had become smooth, the small bumps had faded to the size of goosebumps, and there were no more scratches on his body, so he probably wasn't itchy anymore. Jane was happy for him. "You might really be allergic to soft-spined fruit. Try not to eat it in the future."
