Reminder
They went inside and ate, Jian Mo come out to clean up the plasters.
The plaster on the outside had indeed cooled completely, and it could be easily peeled off the large leaf whole, much like the process of making rice noodle rolls.
The plaster that was peeled off was quite flexible; Jian Mo pulled at it and could feel a slight stickiness.
He turned to Wu Jiong inside the room and said, "Take a shower first. After you shower, I'll put some ointment on it to see if it can remove or lighten the scar on your calf."
Wu Jiong glanced at the plaster. "I don't need it."
The scar on my calf is from when I was a child. So many years have passed, there's no need to remove it.
Jian Mo ran over and nudged Wu Jiong: "Yes, yes, please help me test if this ointment works. I don't have any scars on my body, so I can't really test it. Just have Bei Ya come and use it. It would be so disappointing if it didn't work."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiong had no choice but to go take a bath.
Jian Mo called out from behind, "Make sure you wash yourself properly!"
Wu Jiong raised his hand to indicate that he understood.
Wu Jiong quickly took a shower and came out, his body smelling pleasantly of the herbal soap.
Jian Mo beckoned him to the yard, and, using the twilight, examined his leg. "The scar is a bit deep."
Wu Jiong: "An old, worn-out scar."
Jian Mo: "It's alright, the prescription says it can cure it, let's give it a try."
Jian Mo held up the ointment, rubbed the hair on Wu Jiong's legs, and looked up to ask, "There's so much leg hair, it seems a bit hard to apply. Can I shave some off?"
Since Wu Jiong was already sitting down in front of him, he naturally wouldn't refuse. "Shave less."
Jian Mo drew her dagger, tested the sharpness of the blade with her fingertip, then fetched a bar of soap and gently shaved the hair near the scar on Wu Jiong's leg.
He shaved very restrainedly, only shaving a narrow strip. After all, Wu Jiong was going to transform back into his beast form, and the corresponding patch of fur on his wolf leg would also be bald. If he shaved too much, he would look rather ugly.
After shaving, Jian Mo gently touched the patch of skin and asked, "How did you do that?"
Wu Jiong: "When I was little, I was playing with De Jiang and the others. I accidentally fell from a tree and scraped my face."
Jian Mo used scissors to cut out the appropriate amount of plaster based on the size of the scar, then heated it up until it became sticky. She then slapped it onto the scar and looked at her work with satisfaction. "That's it. Let's wait a few days and see if the plaster works."
Wu Jiong looked down at his legs. "They're pretty well fitted."
Jian Mo crossed her arms. "That's... an improved formula."
Chapter 185 Reminder
The effects of the plaster weren't immediately apparent, and the Hunting Gathering continued.
The next morning, Jian Mo and his friends went to watch Ye Luo's match first.
Ye Luo fought against the Qin Sea Tribe and won cleanly and decisively, seemingly without any effort, contrary to his claim that he was not skilled enough.
Jian Mo excitedly patted Ye Luo on the shoulder. "You're amazing! You and Qing Kuo are both amazing, your skills are absolutely incredible!"
Ye Luo smiled and said, "It's alright. The people I faced today weren't that strong."
Jian Mo: "That's already very strong. I didn't even see the opponent's movements clearly."
Qing Kuo put his arm around Jian Mo's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "When Ye Luo said he wasn't strong, he meant he wasn't strong to him, not to you."
Jian Mo's eyes widened. "That's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!"
Ye Luo and Qing Kuo understood each other and burst into laughter.
After Ye Luo finished his competition, the other matches were also very exciting. Since they had nothing else to do today, they stayed in the stands to watch the games.
Whether it was Jian Mo's imagination or not, he felt that this year's competition was much more exciting than last year's, and the players were more organized, while last year's competition was more like a brutal, hand-to-hand combat.
Jian Mo had little combat experience and average eyesight, so Ye Luo and Qing Kuo explained the situation in the arena to him from both sides.
Before long, Qing Kuo went over to help host the competition, and Ye Luo was also called to help, leaving Jian Mo to watch alone.
Unexpected things can happen during competitions, and since Jian Mo, as a doctor, was invited to oversee the proceedings, it wasn't really appropriate for him to go anywhere else.
After watching for a while, Jian Mo felt someone sit down next to her. She turned her head and saw that it was Ji Xun.
Jian Mo surprised. "Ji Xun, why did you come down the mountain?"
Ji Xun: "Mo A was invited to participate in the exhibition match, so I came with him. But--"
Ji Xun smiled and said, "The competition is so exciting, even if Mo A hadn't been invited, we would have come to join in the fun."
Jian Mo: "Go ahead! Hey, how have you been lately? Anything bothering you? I'll give you a check-up later."
Ji Xun: "No, everything is fine. But I heard some news, I heard that Zhou Zhi is pregnant too?"
Jian Mo looked at him with her clear, bright eyes. "I can't say anything about it; it involves other people's privacy."
Ji Xun nodded knowingly. "So you're pregnant with Qi Ming's child, right?"
Jian Mo said yes nor no, just looked at Ji Xun.
Ji Xun guessed further. "He probably acted impulsively without being prepared."
As he spoke, Ji Xun chuckled, "Actually, it's quite good. Otherwise, with Zhou Zhi's calm and restrained personality, without that bit of impulsiveness, they might never have ended up together."
Jian Mo covered the lower half of her face and asked in a low voice, "It seems you know a lot about their situation?"
Ji Xun: "We're friends, and neighbors, after all. We've interacted so much, we must know each other well. Once my situation stabilizes, I'll send Zhou Zhi others a congratulatory gift."
Jian Mo quickly said, "Forget it, you shouldn't be so eager to stir up trouble. If this gift is actually given out, what if Zhou Zhi doesn't want to face it? Wouldn't that ruin things?"
Ji Xun chuckled from the side, "I knew it was them, and it really is!"
Jian Mo realized what was happening. "Are you kidding me?"
Ji Xun: "No, it's just that I wanted to use your reaction to verify my guess."
Jian Mo sighed and covered her forehead, "You guys are really clever, each one more so than the last."
