Good Jiujiu

Yi Sen looked at Jiujiu with envy. "Jiujiu so clever, cleverer than many people."

Jian Mo: "It's only really clever when it comes to food; otherwise, it's just average."

Yi Sen looked at Jiujiu: "Maybe it only cares about food and doesn't care about anything else, so it just looks average."

Jian Mo chuckled, "Now that you mention it, Jiujiu seems pretty amazing."

That's unlikely. While Jiujiu is cunning, it wouldn't have eight hundred of those tricks up its sleeve. It probably doesn't know how to fake anything.

Jian Mo and his group came mainly to harvest Throat Eyeball. Once they had harvested them, they planned to return home.

Jian Mo: "While the Throat Eyeball is still fresh, we plan to take it back and make it into a plaster."

Yi Sen said reluctantly, "Weren't you supposed to be making medical rounds here?"

Jian Mo: "We'll come back in a while. Besides the medical rounds, we'll also promote our services and see if we can recruit some students who are interested in witch medicine."

Yi Sen immediately said, "Do we need to publicize this? If you just said so, there would be plenty of people willing to sign up. Our tribe has quite a few young people who want to become witch doctors."

Before he could finish speaking, several young people in the crowd raised their hands in unison. "Doctor Jian Mo, we want to go!"

Jian Mo: "I'll let everyone know after I've prepared a bit more. There will be an exam when the class officially starts."

Someone asked, "Is the test on the kind of characters you teach? We don't know any of those."

Jian Mo waved her hand. "No, none of us have studied it, how could we test literacy? We'll test something else. As for what exactly we'll test, I'll announce it when we officially recruit students."

The person asking the question became nervous, "Won't that be extremely difficult?"

Jian Mo: "It's a little difficult, but not extremely difficult. You'll see when the time comes; I'm sure some people will be able to get in."

The people of the Thick Flow Tribe asked him all sorts of questions, but they couldn't get any useful information out of him, so they had to put the matter aside for the time being.

Everyone helped pack their things, preparing for Jian Mo and the others to take some supplies back with them.

Jian Mo was now quite familiar with the produce of the Thick Flow Tribe, and was somewhat surprised to see that there were many fresh wild vegetables among what they had gathered. "How come there are still these vegetables in this season?"

It's already autumn, and the grass and trees outside are starting to wither. There are very few wild vegetables left to eat, and even if they haven't withered, they'll become tough, bitter, and hard to swallow.

People rarely eat wild vegetables in autumn; they usually eat stems, tubers, and fruits, which taste better.

Yi Sen said, "These are wild vegetables that Yu Qi brought over. I saw that you all like to eat wild vegetables, so I packed them for you."

Upon hearing the name of a familiar tribe, Jian Mo's eyes lit up with surprise. "The Rain Rising Tribe? The tribe of Chief Qi Ming?"

Yi Sen nodded. "It's them. You've dealt with them before, haven't you?"

Jian Mo: "Yes, we're quite familiar with each other. Their wild vegetables should have withered by now, so how come there are still fresh ones?"

Yi Sen: "I don't know. Anyway, they brought us some wild vegetables and said we could try them and exchange them with them if we wanted to eat them again. We were quite surprised."

The Thick Flow Tribe is very close to the Rain Rising Tribe, separated only by a narrow strip of territory belonging to the Snow Foot Tribe.

At the orcs' running speed, they arrived in just a few hours.

Looking at the fresh wild vegetables, Jian Mo was really curious. "They probably have something new over there. Let's go over there tomorrow and take a look."

Yi Sen immediately said, "We'll send someone with you."

Jian Mo pointed at Jiujiu and Ying'ao, politely declining, "We need to ride Flying-Winged Beast there; we're afraid we won't be able to go the same way."

Yi Sen glanced at the two Flying-Winged Beasts and said regretfully, "I wish our tribe also raised Flying-Winged Beast. When will your Flying-Winged Beast have offspring? If they do, could you give us one?"

Jian Mo smiled and said, "I'm afraid there's no way to deal with that, they're both males."

Yi Sen was greatly disappointed. "Such a fine Flying-Winged Beast, it's a pity it doesn't have any offspring."

Jian Mo: "Our Jiujiu and Ying'ao are still young."

Putting everything else aside, Jian Mo isn't ready to take care of her grandson yet, not even if it's a little Jiujiu.

After chatting for a few minutes, Jian Mo and the others said they needed to rest first.

After spending a day in the mountains, even though most of the Throat Eyeball were found by Jiujiu, Jian Mo and the others were exhausted and needed to wash up and go to bed quickly, as they had to continue their journey the next day.

Before washing up, Wu Jiong said, "Go ask Jiujiu and the others if they want to take a bath together?"

Jian Mo found it amusing. "You even need to specifically ask Jiujiu and the others for their opinions?"

Wu Jiong: "They've been digging around all day, and they're covered in mud too."

Jiujiu and Ying'ao can swim. Jiujiu quite likes swimming, but due to its animal nature, it doesn't really like taking baths. Ying'ao doesn't like baths either, mainly because it doesn't like being rubbed or rubbed.

When they get too dirty, Jian Mo takes them to bathe without asking their opinions.

They're not that dirty now; it would be best to ask them before giving them a bath.

Jian Mo asked Jiujiu and Ying'ao with a smile.

Jiujiu listened for a long time but still couldn't understand, staring blankly at Jian Mo with her big eyes.

Ying'ao, however, understood and leisurely followed behind Jian Mo, seemingly having no objection to taking a bath.

Ying'ao agreed, Jian Mo simply dragged Jiujiu along. This guy had crawled through a lot of bushes today, and his body was covered in grass seeds and dead leaves, so he needed a good wash.

Chapter 189 Chirping

When Jian Mo and Wu Jiong to take a bath, they only need to go to the river.

With two chicks added, it's inconvenient to wash them in the river; we need to find a relatively large lake, otherwise it won't be able to hold them.

Looking at the hazy night sky, Jian Mo said, "Why don't we go to the Snow Foot Tribe? They have many lakes there; we can just pick one."

They had stayed in the Snow Foot Tribe for a few days before and were very familiar with the Snow Foot Tribe, knowing exactly where the lakes were for bathing.

Wu Jiong: "Let Jiujiu and Ying'ao carry us across. We can rest by the lake for the night and head straight to the Rain Rising Tribe tomorrow."
