The man at the head of the Dianxin Tribe asked anxiously, "Doctor Jian Mo, how is Sha Gu?"
Jian Mo: "Your leg should be saved, but it might not fully recover. You might have a slight limp. Of course, that's assuming nothing goes wrong. If something does happen, I can't say for sure."
The injured Sha Gu wore an expression of apprehension and despair.
Jian Mo could only exaggerate the situation to avoid causing too much psychological distress to the patient if the treatment wasn't effective. "Should we treat it?"
The man at the very front of the Dianxin Tribe, presumably their leader, immediately asked, "Zhi! Doctor Jian Mo, what are we going to do?"
Jian Mo: "You don't need to come here for now. Go outside and wait. Have someone from our tribe keep an eye on things. When Wu Jiong or Qing Kuo returns, please call them over. Don't come in directly; call out from outside first."
Jian Mo wasn't very good at performing surgery on orcs in human form, but given the current situation, it was impossible to turn an orc with a broken leg back into its beast form and cause further damage, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
When he first came to this world, the relatively good treatment results were entirely due to his modern medical training. Even though his actual skills weren't that great, they were still far superior to those of the local witch doctors.
Now, with his experience catching up, he's actually gained some insights.
Administering anesthetics, disinfecting, cleaning, performing surgery, immobilizing... Jian Mo was busy from dawn till almost dark.
Fortunately, it's springtime now, and it gets dark late, otherwise he would have had to ask someone to light a lamp.
Jian Mo didn't notice during the surgery that his pupils underwent subtle changes as he focused on the procedure, allowing him to see more clearly without being affected by light.
He only thought that it was because it got dark late and he was in good condition that the process went so smoothly.
After the surgery, Jian Mo told the people of the Dianxin Tribe to take good care of him and to come to him immediately if anything happened.
Seeing that Sha Gu's complexion was no longer so ashen and his legs were immobilized, the people of the Dianxin Tribe were grateful and agreed.
Jian Mo was exhausted. After returning home, she ate a few bites of the roasted meat that Wu Jiong made, then took a shower and went to bed.
Wu Jiong told him to get some sleep, then went to take care of the Pack-Pack Beast and the Flying-Winged Beast. He also watered the vegetables, cleaned the house, took a shower, went upstairs, and fell asleep holding Jian Mo.
Two people from the Dianxin Tribe stayed behind in the Riverside Tribe to take care of Sha Gu.
Jian Mo visited Sha Gu every morning and evening and found that his wounds had scabbed over by the second day, and by the third day the skin had almost healed. He was once again amazed by the powerful healing abilities of the orcs and sub-orcs.
He's able to become a proper doctor here thanks to the superior physical abilities of the orcs and sub-orcs; that's far more effective than any medicine.
Sha Gu looked at Jian Mo expectantly. "Doctor Jian Mo, I feel like I'm recovering well. Will I be able to fully recover in the future?"
Jian Mo changed his dressing. "It's hard to say, it depends on how well it heals. Eat more meat and rest more during this time, and don't get out of bed. We'll talk about it again later—does your tribe have anyone to take care of you?"
Sha Gu nodded. "The clan chief and the others will take care of me."
That means there's not much survival pressure left. Jian Mo nodded with relief. "Take good care of yourself. Maybe you can still become a good hunter in the future. Just don't do anything reckless."
Although Afu Sui Ai of Ran Wu is missing part of his front leg, he can now go hunting without any problems thanks to the cooperation of the people of the Riverside Tribe.
Sha Gu nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you so much."
The injured from the Dianxin Tribe stayed at the Riverside Tribe for six days. Despite the severity of their injuries, they recovered almost completely in just six days.
After a thorough examination, Jian Mo said to Sha Gu, "You can go back to the tribe to rest and recuperate for a while. Come back for a follow-up examination in ten days, and we'll see how things are then."
After a pause, Jian Mo added, "If it's not ten days yet, but the wound shows significant changes, such as redness, swelling, or inflammation, you should come in for a check-up immediately."
Sha Gu quickly agreed, "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo."
Sha Gu was almost fully recovered when the chieftain of the Dianxin Tribe, who had come to pick him up, asked Jian Mo what reward he desired.
Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "If you think it's okay, could you bring us some stones to build a house? About half a house's worth of stones would be enough."
The chief of the Dianxin Tribe readily agreed, "We'll carry it over tomorrow."
Jian Mo: "Thank you for your hard work."
After exchanging a few polite words, the people of the Dianxin Tribe quickly carried the Sha Gu away.
Jian Mo looked at their mustelid-like animal forms and felt quite pleased.
The hind legs are the main legs of mustelids, so it's wonderful that they were saved.
The Dianxin Tribe and the Riverside Tribe are neighbors, but their side is on higher ground and has more stones.
Jian Mo knew they would bring some stones, but she didn't expect them to bring so many!
Almost all the orcs from the Dianxin Tribe came out and brought a large number of stones for Jian Mo.
The stones were piled up in the backyard, forming a small mountain.
Jian Mo was taken aback by their honesty and was momentarily speechless. "This is far too much."
The chief of the Dianxin Tribe laughed and said, "We originally wanted to build a house, and we just happened to collect some stones."
Jian Mo: "Then you should keep some for building houses."
The chieftain of the Dianxin Tribe said earnestly, "Sha Gu has saved his leg, which is equivalent to saving his whole life. He and his family can live a normal life from now on. It's so worth it. Doctor Jian Mo, please don't be so polite with us."
Jian Mo: "We won't need that many."
The stones were heavy, Jian Mo didn't want them to carry them back, so he found some pieces of glass as a return gift. "These are specialties of our tribe; please take them back with you."
The people of the Dianxin Tribe had seen their glass before and loved this colored, transparent glass. Upon seeing it, they were overjoyed. "Can we get some more?"
These panes of glass were originally obtained by Jian Mo from the tribe, and he didn't have many left. "You'll have to talk to Wu Jiong about this."
