Pets (continued)

Di Ying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Jian Mo hadn't received many supplies, "That's great! I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle the River Fluff Beast when I came."

Jian Mo smiled and said, "No, I used to treat more beasts. I just do my best; if I can treat them, I will, and if I can't, there's nothing I can do."

Di Ying nodded. "Doctor Jian Mo, you're so kind."

Jian Mo led Di Ying and the others to the small clinic.

The fluffy River Fluff Beast was sickly and not very big. Jian Mo didn't need any help and simply carried the River Fluff Beast inside to deal with it.

The River Fluff Beast looks a bit like a rabbit, and its structure is also somewhat like a rabbit's. Catheterization was not difficult for Jian Mo. Although the tools here were not very complete, he still successfully assisted the River Fluff Beast in urinating.

After he finished treating it, he showed the River Fluff Beast to Di Ying: "I helped it pee. Feel it, is its belly not hard anymore?"

Di Ying touched it and exclaimed in surprise, "Really!"

Jian Mo: "Now I'm going to go to the vegetable garden to pick some herbs to make a diuretic decoction."

Di Ying: "Should I go with them?"

Jian Mo nodded. "Come with me. When we get back, you can find the herbs and make a medicinal soup for it yourself. They're all local herbs, it's not difficult."

Jian Mo grows many medicinal herbs in their vegetable garden.

Herbs that reduce swelling and promote urination have a wide range of applications, and fresh herbs can be found in vegetable gardens now.

He pulled up two plants, took Di Ying back, and found an old earthenware pot to teach Di Ying how to brew medicine.

After slowly brewing the medicine, Jian Mo let the herbal soup cool before having Di Ying feed it to the River Fluff Beast: "Now we just need to see if it can urinate on its own. If it can, then it's fine. Just feed it the herbal soup a few more times, and it will get better."

Di Ying looked down at the River Fluff Beast: "It sounds simple. If only I had known to do it this way before, my first River Fluff Beast wouldn't have died so young."

Jian Mo patted him on the shoulder.

Di Ying smiled and said, "When I was little, I especially loved playing with that River Fluff Beast. Maybe it's because my father passed away early, and I'm a bit timid, so I just love small animals."

Jian Mo: "I understand, there are a lot of people keeping small animals where I'm from."

Di Ying: "Your place is really nice. Many people don't understand why I raise River Fluff Beast but they don't eat them, I just keep them like that."

Jian Mo: "Look, we've raised Flying-Winged Beast too."

When they first got Jiujiu, it was for riding. Later, when they got another Ying'ao, it was purely for the purpose of keeping a pet.

Although Ying'ao is used to finding its own food and taking care of other family members, in essence, Ying'ao can be considered their pet, and of course, a family member as well.

Hearing Jian Mo's words, Di Ying smiled again, "I knew you wouldn't find me strange, Doctor Jian Mo, that's why I brought the River Fluff Beast to see you."

Jian Mo: "It's not surprising. As long as it doesn't hurt others, everyone has the freedom to do what they like."

Di Ying nodded emphatically. "Yes!"

Di Ying's River Fluff Beast was not seriously ill; it was able to urinate on its own soon after drinking the herbal soup.

Jian Mo him to go back and feed him the herbal soup for two more days, and to pay close attention to this matter.

Di Ying agreed, saying he would come and pay the fee in a couple of days once he had prepared the fabric.

After seeing Di Ying off, Jian Mo went to the animal shed to see the River Fluff Beast she kept.

Their pet River Fluff Beast is plump, with a ton of fur, and its droppings are very healthy; it has absolutely no problems with that.

Jian Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Two days later, Di Ying sent over some cloth as payment, along with a doll made of River Fluff Beast fur and a basket of herbs.

Jian Mo looked at the felt doll. "Your hands are so skillful!"

Di Ying said shyly, "It's nothing. People from our tribe often make ornaments for other tribes, and occasionally we make small dolls. But this is my first time making River Fluff Beast, so it's not very lifelike. I'm just glad you like it."

Jian Mo: "It's so lifelike! It's so well made, so realistic and beautiful. I couldn't have imagined that anyone could make such a doll before I saw it."

Di Ying was even more embarrassed. "Then, Doctor Jian Mo, please keep this. You should also keep this basket of herbs. These are special herbs from our tribe, said to be good for the sub-beastmen. Doctor Jian Mo, aren't you a late bloomer? See if you can find them useful?"

Jian Mo touched the cat ears on her head that she couldn't retract.

He had never taken this matter seriously or paid attention to it, but unexpectedly, everyone has started to worry about it for him.

Jian Mo: "Thank you, I'll try."

Di Ying: "This herb is used the same way as other herbs; it's boiled in water to make a decoction, and you drink it twice a day. It's a tonic, and it's good for your health. It doesn't matter whether you boil a little more or a little less."

He explained very carefully, and Jian Mo agreed just as earnestly, "Okay, I will definitely make use of this basket of herbs."

Di Ying: "Then you can try it first. If it works, you can come to our tribe, and I'll take you out to dig."

Jian Mo had accepted Di Ying's herbs and dolls, but she was unwilling to accept his cloth as well.

Di Ying stuffed the cloth into Jian Mo's hand. "A gift is a gift, and medical expenses are medical expenses. Doctor Jian Mo, you must accept this. Thank you for curing the River Fluff Beast. To others, it's just an animal, but to me, it's already my friend. Thank you so much."

Seeing Jian Mo ran back to her room and brought down a shawl. "This is a shawl we got from another tribe. The color and pattern are very unique. It's for you."

Di Ying initially didn't want to accept it, but Jian Mo insisted, so she did.

He was a little embarrassed. After finishing, he chatted with Jian Mo for a few words, then said goodbye to Jian Mo and said he had to hurry back to the tribe.

Jian Mo noticed that he came alone and would return alone as well.

It seems this is also a brave and independent sub-orc.

Jian Mo of the effectiveness of the herbs Di Ying had sent, so she specifically asked the tribespeople before brewing them into a medicinal soup.

The tribespeople all said that the herbs from the Dianxin Tribe were indeed good for the sub-beastmen. They also had some in the Riverside Tribe's territory. If he wanted some, they would bring him some more when they went out to collect them in the future.
