Bonus Extra Four (Continued)
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.
Qing Kuo watched Jian Mo's movements in surprise, finding them clean and efficient, and climbing the tree was extremely easy for him, showing none of the clumsiness he had shown before.
Qing Kuo: "Wow! You've become so amazing after you went out for a while!"
Jian Mo gripped the bark firmly with her claws. "Of course! I learned how to do it."
Ye Luo had climbed onto another tree asked, "Who taught you that? Someone you met on your travels?"
Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "Pretty much, anyway, I learned it from a master."
As exotic beasts, Congzai and the others should be considered experts.
Qing Kuo laughed and said, "That's good. Your movements are much more coordinated now. You're noticeably different from before."
Jian Mo: "Yes, I specifically learned how to utilize my beast-transformed parts, such as my claws, ears, and tail..."
Qing Kuo: "That's great. I noticed it when I saw you come back a couple of days ago; your ears and tail have grown bigger than before, and you look more agile."
Jian Mo: "That's right, I've also grown a little taller."
After returning to his cub stage and undergoing a second growth spurt, his height directly exceeded 185 cm, but his physique was still that of a teenager, so he didn't look very tall.
They chatted as they collected the materials.
In the past Jian Mo would be terrified whenever he climbed to the treetop. Now, he has a deeper understanding of the treetop and himself, knows what a safe distance is, and knows how to ensure his safety in an emergency. He is no longer afraid when he sees the treetop.
He was very calm, and his movements no longer showed any trepidation; he looked like an elegant and powerful sub-orc.
Qing Kuo and the others watched from the sidelines, unable to resist praising him again and again.
In fact, Jian Mo's improvement wasn't limited to her physical skills.
As news of their return spread, many people lined up for treatment— Jian Mo's students are now scattered across various tribes and are also shamans, but when faced with complex illnesses, people prefer to seek his treatment.
This time, when people lined up for a consultation, they noticed that Jian Mo's treatment skills had improved significantly, and she had even introduced acupuncture and moxibustion.
"How amazing, Doctor Jian Mo! Is this a new technique you learned during your travels?"
"Will this hurt a little?"
"Acupuncture, you mean?"
Seeing the patients' trembling expressions, Jian Mo comforted them, "Don't be afraid, not everyone needs an injection. It won't hurt. You can ask Xia Ming after he's done."
Xia Ming, who was receiving acupuncture, was instructed not to speak or move, and could only use his eyes to indicate to his companion that it didn't hurt much.
People were skeptical, and their eyes were filled with awe as they looked at Jian Mo.
Jian Mo smiled and didn't explain further.
During her time traveling back to Earth, Jian Mo read many medical books and, with the help of Shi Wen and the Anomaly Management Bureau, studied a great deal of human medicine. She also communicated with many doctors, which significantly improved her treatment skills and gave her a deeper understanding of the human body and medicine.
Upon returning, Jian Mo, relying on traditional shamanic knowledge and combining it with the methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, is now experimenting with relatively safe new treatments, and the results seem quite promising.
However, it will take time for patients to accept this new treatment method, and they will certainly have doubts now.
Jian Mo wasn't in a hurry; things would be fine in a while.
In recent years, the population of the Riverside Tribe has not increased much, but the infrastructure has become more developed and the area of the tribe has increased considerably.
Now, in addition to the front part of the mountain, many more buildings have been added to the back part of the mountain.
The Riverside Tribe's workshops are mostly located in the back mountains, which are considered a restricted area for the tribe.
In Jian Mo's view, the Riverside Tribe is increasingly resembling a small town.
As autumn deepens, the annual Hunting Gathering is approaching once again.
Many children from the Riverside Tribe also came to class this year. Because the Hunting Gathering is coming soon, Ye Luo, who is in charge of the class, discussed with Wu Jiong and the others and decided to give the children a hunting holiday.
This holiday will last about twenty days.
The Hunting Gathering includes events for the cubs, who need to return to their tribes in advance to prepare. During the Hunting Gathering, they also need to participate in activities with their tribes.
Before the holiday, the Riverside Tribe held a summary meeting for the children to reflect on the past period and prepared delicious food for them.
Over the past few years, the education sector in the Riverside Tribe has developed considerably, offering more educational and entertaining programs and activities for the children, who quite enjoy attending classes.
Of all the projects and activities, the food festival was probably the kids' favorite. They had to make and taste the food themselves, and afterwards, they could take any leftovers home.
This has, to some extent, facilitated communication between tribes.
Of all the Riverside Tribe, Jian Mo is the best cook.
To teach a cooking class, Ye Luo specially invited Jian Mo to be the teacher and give a lesson to the students.
Jian Mo hadn't taught the kids in a long time, so she readily agreed to the invitation.
Considering safety and the difficulty level, Jian Mo decided to have the little ones make jelly.
The river outside the tribe is full of Pearl Algae. After the Pearl Algae is harvested, the juice is squeezed out and then boiled in water to form jelly.
To make the jelly look and taste better, you can add jam and salted flower and grass sprouts—salting is used instead of sugaring because salt is easier to obtain, and the saltiness makes the sweetness stand out more.
After returning Ye Luo made arrangements and quickly scheduled classes for Jian Mo.
On the day of the first class, Jian Mo went to the classroom very skillfully, divided the children into groups, and then took them to the river to collect Pearl Algae.
Jiang Xing, He Feng, and a group of older children have stopped attending classes and are now going out hunting and gathering with the adults.
Now, the older cubs in the classroom have become a group of people including Zhou Dao, Bai Lu, and Banjiu, while the little lion Ying Jian, the little giant panda Mingyin, and the little fat chick Di Qiu have become the younger cubs.
The Riverside Tribe provides accommodation, so the children who don't want to go back every day can stay Riverside Tribe and only return on holidays. As a result, there are quite a few children attending classes.
