Summer Wind (Continued)

Ran Shao pulled down her animal skin skirt, looking at Jian Mo's serious expression, and asked with a hint of fear, "Doctor Jian Mo, am I alright?"

Jian Mo: "It's alright, you seem very healthy. However, given your condition, you should absolutely not lift heavy objects, and especially not people; it's too easy for an accident to happen."

Ran Shao nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "I understand."

Jian Mo added, "You're a bit thin. It's best to eat more meat to help you regain your weight while you're pregnant, but not too much—just a couple more pieces than usual. If it's convenient, I suggest you come over to my place every month for a check-up so I can keep an eye on things."

Ran Shao readily agreed.

After checking him, Jian Mo smiled and said, "Just be more careful, there's nothing else."

Ran Shao then relaxed.

Jian Mo: "Your partner needs to stay at the clinic for observation for two days. I'll bring you meals during those two days."

Ran Shao: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo, you've worked so hard."

Jian Mo shook her head. "It's okay, just make more when you cook."

Ran Shao's partner Tu Chuan, was injured in a rather unusual location, so it's best to observe him for a couple more days.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong and affects the functionality, that would be a big problem.

Jian Mo wasn't interested in the patients' privacy, but Zhou Fu and the others inquired about it.

Having discovered the new position, Zhou Fu and several other sub-orcs with partners came to share it with Jian Mo.

Jian Mo felt a chill run down her spine and warned, "Don't do anything reckless! It's very dangerous."

Zhou Fu thought about it seriously, "It's not that bad."

Jian Mo warned seriously, "It really won't work. I don't want to be seeing you and your Jiu Yin in a small clinic one day."

A blush crept onto Zhou Fu's round face as she said regretfully, "Alright."

Jian Mo crossed her arms in a cross shape. "Seriously, you don't want this kind of joke to spread to all the nearby tribes, do you?"

Zhou Fu seemed a little more serious then. "Okay."

Jian Mo wiped her sweat. Being a veterinarian was already difficult enough, but she never imagined that being a general practitioner for humans would be even harder.

In the evening, Jian Mo pulled Wu Jiong along to deliver dinner to Ran Shao others, intending to further educate them on related knowledge.

Before they even arrived at their destination, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong overheard the conversation between the young couple inside the clinic.

Ran Shao: "It feels like the wind is about to blow; I want to go back to the tribe."

Tu Chuan: "No."

Ran Shao reassured him, "You'll only be back for half a day. I'll be back tomorrow morning."

Tu Chuan: "No! I have a partner, how can you leave me here alone?!"

Ran Shao: "I'll just go home and pack my things, in case they really get blown away by the wind."

Tu Chuan: "What if I get blown away?"

Jian Mo coughed twice to indicate that they had arrived.

Wu Jiong patted Jian Mo on the shoulder.

Ran Shao, feigning composure, came out to greet them, "Doctor Jian Mo, Chief Wu Jiong."

Jian Mo originally wanted to explain, but then felt it wasn't the right time, so she asked, "You said it's going to be windy?"

Ran Shao: "Yes, we True Scarlet Tribe people are particularly sensitive to the wind. The wind should pick up tonight, and it might turn into a strong wind tomorrow afternoon."

Jian Mo: "Is it a typhoon?"

Ran Shao asked, puzzled, "What's a typhoon? It's just a summer wind; after this windstorm, autumn will come."

Jian Mo had only come to this world last autumn and couldn't imagine what a summer breeze was like, so she could only nod and hand over the dinner. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll check on Tu Chuan's injury again later. If it's healed, you can go back tomorrow morning."

Tu Chuan's delighted voice came from the clinic. "That's wonderful!"

Jian Mo went in to check on Tu Chuan's injuries, then said goodbye and left.

Wu Jiong said, "If a summer wind blows, our tribe should also make preparations. I'll go and tell Qing Kuo and De Jiang."

Jian Mo: "I'll go with you!"

The two took a detour to find Qing Kuo first.

Qing Kuo calculated the days. "It's almost time for the summer breeze to blow. I'll go tell a few families later to put their things away properly."

Wu Jiong nodded. "I'll talk to De Jiang about it again."

Qing Kuo: "Okay. By the way, what about the crops we planted by the river?"

Jian Mo almost forgot about the crops by the river. "I'll go check on them first."

Qing Kuo: "I'll go check it out later. We should collect what we can quickly, and think of a way to collect what we can't."

Jian Mo was fairly clear about the condition of the crops. "They're not ripe yet, I doubt we can harvest them. I'll think of something else."

Jian Mo had originally wanted to experience what the summer breeze felt like here, but once it came to crops, he couldn't approach the summer breeze with a lighthearted attitude.

Strong winds will reduce crop yields.

It was getting dark, and there wasn't much to do today, Wu Jiong pulled Jian Mo aside to tell De Jiang first.

De Jiang said he would put the materials at the furnace properly.

Jian Mo and her group wandered around the tribe, and by the time they returned home, it was already completely dark.

The wind had indeed picked up, whistling softly, but not strongly, just enough to make one feel cool.

They gathered the firewood piled outside the kitchen under the cover of night, and then went to check on Jiujiu and Ying'ao.

Ying'ao looks calm and strong. Even though Jiujiu is a bit timid, the two of them together should be fine.

Jian Mo sigh of relief, patted the chirping Jiujiu to keep them in the nest and not to wander off, and then went to see the Pack-Pack Beast and Long-tailed Bird.

The Pack-Pack Beast is a bit timid.

Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong worriedly, "Do you think the Pack-Pack Beast will be scared to death if the wind blows?"

Wu Jiong: "It's not that bad, there are Pack-Pack Beast in the wild too."

Jian Mo: "Pack-Pack Beast in the wild even got soaked by torrential rain and died of fright."

Wu Jiong calmly said, "I think our pack of Pack-Pack Beast is quite brave compared to Pack-Pack Beast, so they should be fine."

Jian Mo: "There's nothing we can do about it."

They inspected the area, locked the door, and left.

The windows of the animal shed were just a few holes, with nothing to close.
