I Love You (Continued)

The practical exam covers a wide range of topics, from treating patients to collecting and preparing medicinal herbs; anything Jian Mo has taught is included in the exam.

His students were extremely nervous about this. Even Ye Luo, who was usually calm, seized the time to review, fearing that he would fail the exam.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the Riverside Tribe changed, and even the little ones became tiptoeing when passing by the medical students.

Qing Kuo found it amusing and remarked to Jian Mo during their conversation, "Now, not only are the patients afraid of you, but the students are starting to be afraid of you too."

Jian Mo immediately retorted, "No way! When have the patients ever been afraid of me? I'm always so kind."

Qing Kuo: "Your gentle nature doesn't stop you from looking quite scary when you're treating patients."

Jian Mo: "The disease is scary, not me. What, did someone say something?"

Qing Kuo waved his hand. "No, I just mentioned it casually. I ran into Ji Xun when I came back from gathering today, and he asked me to ask you if you're free these few days. Chief Zhou Zhi are coming over and would like to invite you and the chief to dinner."

Jian Mo nodded after realizing what she meant. "Yes, I will give the students a few days off after their exams so they can go home to visit their families."

Qing Kuo: "Then I'll Ji Xun tomorrow and ask him to confirm the time?"

Jian Mo nodded. "Okay. If all else fails, we can have Wu Jiong go and confirm with them."

It's quite fun to have a meal with friends occasionally. Jian Mo originally wanted to invite Ji Xun and the others to the tribe, since it would be more convenient to eat there.

Later, Ji Xun, inviting them to a meal on the mountain so they could gather and chat.

"That works too." After clarifying the time, Jian Mo agreed.

The students' midterm exams were over quickly.

Most of the projects involved hands-on activities, Jian Mo could get a general idea of the students' levels with just a glance.

Just as he had predicted, the students were doing well, and his teaching was quite scientific and reasonable. At this rate, by spring, the students would be able to return to their respective tribes and become tribal healers, relieving people's pain.

Jian Mo was pleased to finish grading the students and then gave them a five-day break to go home and visit their families.

People in this world rarely go out, and even less often are separated from their families. After attending classes for so long, I guess everyone is homesick, so a holiday is quite necessary.

The five-day holiday is mainly to accommodate students who live far away, making it easier for them to travel back and forth.

The students from other tribes left quickly, Ye Luo and his friends, who hadn't gone hunting and gathering with their tribes for a long time, also went hunting and gathering.

Jian Mo, pulling Wu Jiong along, went to the appointment with great enthusiasm.

The weather wasn't very good today; it was overcast, with sunlight occasionally filtering through the gaps in the clouds, forming beams of light that tore through the gloom of early winter.

It hasn't snowed in the past few days, but there's frost outside, and the snow on the mountainside hasn't melted.

Jian Mo, wrapped in a fur coat, hugged the giant wolf's neck, crouching slightly to avoid the howling wind.

He had most of his body pressed against the giant wolf's back; it wasn't very cold, just a strange feeling.

The wind was so strong it chilled his teeth.

For the second half, he had to pull his collar up to cover most of his face before he felt much better.

When they arrived outside Ji Xun's house, Zhou Zhi and Qi Ming were already there.

Zhou Zhi is still very thin, with a striking and handsome appearance.

Jian Mo saw him, she couldn't help but go over and give him a gentle hug. "Zhou Zhi, it's been a long time."

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Long time no see. Greetings Chief Wu Jiong."

Wu Jiong nodded, greeted Qi Ming, and that concluded their small talk.

Ji Xun out, greeted them with a smile, and said, "You're all here! Let's have hot pot today. Cook whatever you like; we've prepared lots of ingredients, so please help yourselves."

Ji Xun and Zhou Zhi are both pregnant, and their tastes have changed slightly. They can't eat regular food very well, so eating hot pot with two broths is more convenient.

At Ji Xun's invitation, everyone went inside and sat down around the hot pot to eat.

Jian Mo laughed and said, "I was just about to give you a check-up."

Ji Xun placed a plate of meat on the ground. "It's not too late to check later, eat first. Today's meat was all caught by Mo A early this morning, it's super fresh. These dried vegetables and dried mushrooms are what I dried myself, they're also very delicious. And these fresh vegetables and stems were brought by Zhou Zhi."

Jian Mo had already noticed. "The ingredients are plentiful today."

Ji Xun raised an eyebrow. "That's right, we live in the mountains, how could we lack food?"

Mo A brought over cups and poured tea with honey for everyone.

Zhou Zhi and Ji Xun were unavailable, they didn't drink fruit wine but instead drank tea. However, there were two pots of tea; Zhou Zhi and Ji Xun drank one pot, and the others drank the other.

Jian Mo picked up her tea and took a sip. She found it sweet and cool, perfect for pairing with hot pot. "Wow, how did you make this tea? It's so sweet, cool, and refreshing!"

Ji Xun: "I added several kinds of leaves, and a lot of honey powder. Most importantly, you chilled this pot of tea in the stream outside."

Jian Mo exclaimed, "No wonder, it tastes so good."

Ji Xun: "Then drink more and eat some meat. If you don't finish it today, it won't be fresh tomorrow."

Zhou Zhi smiled. "It's alright, the beastmen can clean up the mess."

Qi Ming nodded in agreement. "Yes, we can take it all."

Jian Mo glanced at them upon hearing this. "Looks like you two are getting along quite well lately."

Qi Ming smiled broadly and said, "We plan to become partners, and I'll move to the Cypress Branch Tribe in a while."

Jian Mo a little surprised. She didn't expect that Qi Ming would move to the Cypress Branch Tribe instead of each of them living separately or Zhou Zhi moving to the Rain Rising Tribe.

Jian Mo asked, "Does that mean the daily work in the Rain Rising Tribe is becoming more difficult?"
