The toilet (continued)

Jian Mo: "Great!"

There's fish stewing in the pot. Everyone said there's too much fish to cook today, and frying it would be too much trouble, so stewing is much easier.

Their stew sauce for fish is very special; it's a sauce made from fermented fruit.

The people from the Snow Foot Tribe even gave Jian Mo a little to taste. Jian Mo dipped her finger in it and found it to be sour and salty, with a unique umami and fruity flavor after fermentation. It tasted a bit like a combination of plum sauce and soybean paste.

Jian Mo's eyes widened. "This sauce is so delicious!!"

The Snow Foot Tribe proudly puffed out their chests. "These are fruits we specially collected from the wild. We carefully selected them during the brewing process, using only the plumpest and freshest fruits. After selecting them, we washed them with snow water and then dried them on the sunniest He Feng driest days."

Jian Mo wanted to exchange the sauce recipe with them, or even just the sauce itself, but it wasn't appropriate to say so in this situation, so she simply praised it a few more times.

The fish and meat stewed by the Snow Foot Tribe are delicious, along with some local wild vegetables, which, when cooked into a soup, have a unique and savory flavor.

Jian Mo was very satisfied with the meal. He rarely had such unique and delicious food in the area, and it was truly mouthwatering.

The group split into several smaller groups, eating and chatting at the same time.

Jian Mo listened from the side and heard a lot of news she had never heard before.

Their group consisted of clan chiefs and elders, who not only exchanged information about recent events but also about the weather and prey distribution, attempting to deduce this year's situation based on such information.

Jian Mo listened with admiration, thinking that if the orc world were willing to analyze these things, it would sound quite scientific.

Compared to others who spoke eloquently, Jian Mo was unfamiliar with these matters and couldn't analyze them; he simply listened and let it go.

If he had planted the land for a couple more years, this information would have been useful. But this is only his first year of farming, and he's not familiar with the growth patterns of plants, so listening to this information is pointless.

Wu Jiong's expression was solemn, but he did manage to exchange quite a bit of useful information.

They chatted until very late before heading back to their temporary lodgings to rest.

Jian Mo was so sleepy that his eyelids were practically glued together. As soon as he got back to his temporary lodgings, he quickly washed up and rolled onto the bed. He even slid over to make sure there was plenty of room for Wu Jiong.

Unless there are special circumstances, Jian Mo usually prefers to sleep with Wu Jiong's human form.

Jian Mo slept soundly until dawn. When she opened her eyes, she was lying in bed looking at the shimmering lake in the distance, and for a moment she felt a little disoriented.

Someone outside called to him, "Jian Mo, get up quickly, the people from the Rain Rising Tribe are here to see you."

Jian Mo recognized Ban Ming's voice immediately, composed herself, and called out, "Coming!"

He got up, dressed, and quickly washed up before opening the door. To his surprise, he saw Qi Ming, the chieftain of the Rain Rising Tribe.

Qi Ming asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night? Are you getting used to this place?"

Jian Mo smiled and said, "I'm quite used to it. When I'm with my partner, I feel comfortable anywhere."

Qi Ming: "That's great! We came here today to invite you to visit our tribe and, while you're at it, to give us a medical check-up. Is that alright?"

Jian Mo was a little surprised, but she didn't refuse. "Of course, I'll tell Wu Jiong."

The caravan will rest for two days in the Snow Foot Tribe, allowing nearby tribes to come and exchange information and supplies.

Therefore, apart from those who have tasks to complete, everyone is free to move around as long as they can ensure their safety and avoid dangerous places.

The Rain Rising Tribe was naturally safe, Jian Mo wanted to see what the situation was like in their tribe, so she didn't mind making the trip.

Ban Ming raised his hand from behind and said, "Jian Mo, are you looking for the clan leader? I'll go call him."

Jian Mo: "Thank you for your hard work. Ask him if he's free. If not, is there anything I can do for him? If not, I'll go to the Rain Rising Tribe. Also, please call Bei Ya over for me. I want to see how his injuries are today."

Ban Ming readily agreed and quickly ran off to inquire.

Jian Mo turned to Qi Ming and smiled, "Please wait a moment."

Qi Ming smiled politely, "No problem."

Ban Ming was gone for a while, Bei Ya arrived first.

Jian Mo Bei Ya down to sit, put on gloves and a mask, and first checked the wounds on his face.

Perhaps because of his youth, or perhaps because the physical condition of the sub-orcs was inherently very good, when Jian Mo looked, the wounds on Bei Ya's face had already healed.

The weather here is quite cold, Bei Ya's wound shows no signs of redness, swelling, or suppuration. If this recovery continues, the scar will likely be very faint, or even nonexistent, once it has fully healed.

Jian Mo happily checked the pain relief patch on his face again.

Reducing the number of patches worked fine; it didn't cause any allergic reactions, redness, or swelling.

Jian Mo smiled at Bei Ya, "You're recovering very well. Keep up the good work with sun protection, eat a light diet, and get plenty of rest. We'll check on you again tomorrow."

Bei Ya dared not speak, but could only nod vigorously, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Jian Mo.

Jian Mo patted his shoulder. "Alright, you can go back now. Come find me again tomorrow."

Bei Ya nodded again, stood up, and left.

Qi Ming had also heard about Bei Ya's situation and couldn't help but exclaim, "Doctor Jian Mo, your medical skills are truly excellent, and your heart is so kind!"

Jian Mo waved her hand. "It's all what I should do."

They chatted for a while longer, and then Ban Ming returned with Wu Jiong.

Wu Jiong also carried a small basket containing grilled fish and meat wrapped in leaves, and a small jar of stem and tuber soup.

Wu Jiong greeted Qi Ming first, then said, "Everything's arranged. Have something to eat first, and we'll set off."

Jian Mo looked at Wu Jiong happily. "You're coming with me?"

Wu Jiong nodded.

Qi Ming looked at the unusual atmosphere between the two of them and felt a little envious.

Ban Ming was completely unaware and just stood there grinning foolishly.
