Anesthetic (Continued)

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the glass-paned windows of the stone house stand out prominently.

Yun Long smiled, revealing her clean, even teeth, and said, "Wu Jiong, your house has become so beautiful. Doctor Jian Mo, it's been a long time."

Jian Mo nodded. "Clan Chief Yun Long."

Wu Jiong greeted him, "It's alright, come in and sit down."

Yun Long laughed, "Let me take a closer look. This is the first time I've ever seen a window like this. It's so beautiful."

Wu Jiong looked at him and asked, "Want to walk around the house?"

Yun Long smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I won't stand on ceremony."

Wu Jiong led them to the side, saying, "There's no need to be so polite."

Jian Mo has been in this world for a long time, and she has done a lot of renovations to the area around the house.

They lived here day and night, and didn't notice any changes in the house.

Yun Long and the others hadn't seen his house in a long time, and only when they suddenly came here did they realize just how much this house, which hadn't changed in nearly a century, had actually changed.

Not only was the area in front of the house much tidier, but some plants were also planted on the side of the house. A shed was added to one corner of the back of the house, where several Pack-Pack Beasts were kept. In another corner, a wooden frame was tied together, and animal hides were stretched on it to make a small shed for bathing.

Further on, the Flying-Winged Beast, which they kept under the tree, were sleeping at this moment.

Upon seeing someone approaching, the Flying-Winged Beast slightly raised its eyelids, then closed its eyes again and went back to sleep.

Behind the Flying-Winged Beast, various plants were also planted.

Perhaps because of the presence of Flying-Winged Beast, the snow had been swept away, revealing bare plant stems.

There were even plants on the mountain. Because they were planted so neatly and the soil had been turned over, Yun Long and the others could tell at a glance that they had been planted by people.

Jian Mo walked beside them, noticing everyone's surprised expressions, and belatedly realized that Wu Jiong's family was indeed different.

If you didn't look at the houses of other people in the tribe, and only looked at the animals and vegetables that Wu Jiong's family kept in front of and behind their house, you might not feel at all that this was a house in the orc world.

This house has such a rustic charm.

Yun Long pointed to the drainage ditch dug behind the house and said, "You've kept this place so tidy, you even dug a ditch. Where does it drain to?"

Wu Jiong: "In the river."

Yun Long at the ditch and clicked his tongue twice. "They even lined the sides with stones, it's really well done."

Wu Jiong showed them around, then invited them inside and led them to sit down in a corner of the room.

There was a small wooden table in one corner of the room near the window, with animal skin cushions on either side of the table.

This is also a change brought about by Jian Mo.

Originally, Wu Jiong's house was empty except for the hearth and wooden frame.

Jian Mo wasn't used to sitting by the fire pit all the time, so Wu Jiong made a small wooden table according to his description when he had free time. Jian Mo contributed a few animal skin cushions, and sometimes the two of them would sit at the table, drink some tea, and chat.

Today, Wu Jiong invited them to sit down. Yun Long looked at the small table, examined it closely, and then turned to ask Jian Mo, "Doctor Jian Mo, are these things you brought from your original tribe?"

Jian Mo nodded.

Before Yun Long could say anything more, Wu Jiong interrupted him, "Yun Long, what exactly brings you here this time?"

Yun Long smiled and said, "I realized it's been a long time since I visited your tribe, so I came to check on you. Oh, and I brought you some things too."

Yun Long spoke, she took a delicate little bag wrapped in leaves from her basket and handed it to Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo, didn't you mention some kind of anesthetic last time? We've found something similar. See if you can use it."

Anesthetic? Jian Mo's fingers curled slightly as she reached for the package. "A drug similar to an anesthetic?"

Yun Long: "Yes, after a person or animal takes this, they will fall asleep and cannot be woken up no matter what. It will take half a day or a day for them to wake up on their own. I think this is very similar to the anesthetic you mentioned before."

Jian Mo had previously been invited by the Mengshui Tribe to serve as a visiting doctor for a few days at the Hunting Gathering.

In his spare time, he did talk a lot about medical matters with the people of the Mengshui Tribe, including the topic of anesthetics.

Now that Yun Long has mentioned it, this stuff does indeed seem quite like an anesthetic.

Jian Mo opened the small bag, inside was a packet of dark, dry stuff. Because it had turned into powder, he couldn't tell what it was.

He fanned himself with his hand, carefully sniffed, and could smell a slightly sweet aroma mixed with a bitter taste.

This packet of anesthetic is likely a herbal medicine.

Jian Mo looked up and asked, "After taking this medicine, did you feel any discomfort when you woke up?"

Yun Long: "A few people who tried it said it felt a bit like the dizziness after drinking too much fruit wine, but they'd feel better after a day or two of sleep. I checked, and it doesn't seem like anything serious."

That's definitely a pretty good anesthetic.

Jian Mo carefully rewrapped the anesthetic and asked, "How do I change it?"

Yun Long laughed heartily, "Why would we need to exchange it? There aren't many. If you need them, we just brought them over. You can just take them."

Jian Mo unsure whether to accept the gift, and turned to look at Wu Jiong.

Wu Jiong nodded slightly.

Jian Mo thanked him and accepted the gift.

Yun Long, sitting opposite them, clearly observed their interaction and said with a smile, "We'll keep an eye out when we go hunting and gathering. We'll bring you more of this anesthetic next time we see it."

Jian Mo: "That's too much trouble for you guys."

Yun Long: "It's alright. If you feel bad about it, you can come to our tribe to get it. The sub-beastmen in our tribe all say they miss you and want to learn how to cook from you again."

Jian Mo hadn't had much interaction with the Mengshui Tribe before. It was only during their first serious conversation that she discovered the chief was exceptionally talkative and loved to laugh.

During their conversation, Yun Long praised Jian Mo highly, saying he had heard of his pottery making and that his skills were truly amazing.

He also said that if Jian Mo were from their Mengshui Tribe, he would be laughing in his dreams.
