Twins

The people in the tribe are all felines or canines, and they have a habit of burying their own excrement, which is not the case for Jiujiu.

Jian Mo has to clean every day, and she's getting a little tired.

Fortunately, planting has now been put on the agenda, so things will finally get a little better.

Qing Kuo asked, "Can we plant directly after applying the base fertilizer?"

Jian Mo: "It also depends on whether the plant can withstand the cold. For plants like Wood-Stabilizing Root, Hairy Root, and some other herbs, you can collect seeds and plant them, waiting for them to germinate. Some plants that can't withstand the cold need to be planted after a while."

After thinking for a moment, Jian Mo added, "But no matter what, it's best to cover the soil with a layer of dry grass to prevent the newly sprouted leaves from getting frostbite in the cold weather. That's what we do where I'm from."

If there is plastic film available, lay it down; if not, cover it with a layer of straw. This will protect the crops and increase yield.

Everyone nodded again, Ye Luo said from the side, "I didn't realize there were so many intricacies to planting."

Jian Mo: "We gradually accumulate experience. There are many things I don't know either; we have to figure them out together."

Chapter 65 Twins

Because of the cold weather, after planting the crops, Jian Mo others covered them with a thin layer of soil.

Even so, Jian Mo felt it wasn't warm enough.

He discussed with Wu Jiong, "Why don't we cut some grass to cover it up? Grass will help retain the temperature."

Wu Jiong: "Which kind of grass should we cut?"

Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "For warmth, ordinary grass will do. It's best to cut longer grass to save time."

Wu Jiong: "There's a meadow down the river. The withered grass should still be there. Let's go cut it."

Jian Mo agreed without hesitation, "Sure. After we finish cutting the grass, we'll cut down some trees and build a fence around the vegetable garden. Otherwise, I'm afraid wild animals might get into our garden and cause trouble."

There are so many wild animals here. If we don't keep them out, the crops we grow will probably be destroyed very quickly.

After discussing it, Wu Jiong transformed into a giant wolf and carried Jian Mo downstream.

Few people are clearing land this year; there's only a patch of reclaimed land every so often along the riverbank.

The snow-white and mud-black colors made them stand out clearly, and as soon as they approached, the flock of birds scattered in fright.

Although the seeds had only been planted for a short time, many birds had already come to eat them.

Jian Mo looked at the birds. Covering the ground with something wasn't entirely for warmth; it was also to keep the birds away.

It's so difficult to grow anything.

They walked downstream along the river.

Soon we saw reed-like plants along the riverbank. Even though it was deep winter and spring was approaching, the plants still had white spikes at their tips.

Jian Mo looked at the grass and her mood improved. "These grasses are growing so well, shall we cut some to put in a vase later?"

The giant wolf responded softly, "The leaves are a bit sharp, I'll go cut them."

Jian Mo: "Then I'll cut along the edge, and you be careful when you cut."

The two men used newly forged sickles to cut the bundle, which was very fast; they cut a large bundle in no time.

They also went into the woods to cut vines and tied the grass together.

While wandering in the forest, they saw small fruits under the snow.

The fruit was red and tempting, and tasted slightly icy, but there wasn't much of it. After tying up the straw, they went into the forest for a walk, but in the end they only managed to pick one basket of fruit.

They wandered around in the forest until a little late, so it was quite late for them to return to the tribe.

The patrolling orcs called out to them from afar, "Chieftain, Jian Mo, why are you only just returning?"

Jian Mo assumed he was just being casual, so she said, "Picking fruit in the woods, want some? Here, have a handful."

"Let's not talk about food yet," the patrolling orc said. "The True Scarlet Tribe just brought over two sick little orcs. Go and take a look."

Jian Mo sat up straight. "Where are they? What's wrong with them?"

The patrolling orc said, "I don't know. They look quite serious; they've already passed out. Qing Kuo arranged for them to stay at a small clinic by the river and even sent people out to look for you, but we didn't expect you to be missing."

Jian Mo: "I'll go take a look."

Upon hearing this, the giant wolf immediately carried him over to the small clinic.

Sure enough, there was a group of people standing near the small clinic. Before they could even go inside, they heard a commotion of voices.

The people were making a lot of noise, and it was hard to make out what they were saying, but you could tell from their tone that they were quite anxious.

Before Jian Mo and his group even approached, people spotted the giant wolf, and someone shouted, "Doctor Jian Mo is here!"

Another person rushed out and shouted to Jian Mo, "Doctor Jian Mo, please save my two babies!"

Jian Mo slid off the giant wolf and hurriedly said, "Let me check the situation first."

People immediately made way for him to go in.

Inside the small clinic, two half-human-sized cubs, resembling both beavers and otters, were curled up on a fur mat with their eyes tightly closed. Their long fur was matted up, and they looked weak and unwell.

Nearby, a sub-orc anxiously stroked one animal, then another, repeatedly calling their names: "Su Yue, Wang Yue, don't sleep!"

Jian Mo pushed her way forward. "Let me take a look."

As she spoke, Jian Mo took out a specially made simple metal stethoscope from the cabinet, placed one end on the cubs and the other end against their ears, and listened carefully to the condition of the two cubs.

Both cubs were breathing rapidly, their pupils were dilated, and their bodies were hot; their conditions were similar.

Jian Mo gently opened their mouths and could smell an unpleasant odor.

This situation is likely caused by an external factor, rather than an internal illness.

After making a preliminary assessment, Jian Mo asked, "When did they get into trouble?"

The father of the two cubs said anxiously, "They were fine this morning, but I hadn't seen them for a long time this afternoon, so I went out to look for them and found them lying on the ground."

Jian Mo: "You mean they were fine this morning? You mean until this afternoon, they didn't have any unusual symptoms? They didn't have any growths, fevers, or complain of any discomfort?"
