Furball Beast (Continued)
In this situation, tooth extraction can effectively alleviate the condition.
After examining the wound, Jian Mo said, "It's fine, the healing is very good. Continue eating wild vegetables after you go home today. If the condition doesn't worsen, come see me again the day after tomorrow. If it does worsen, come see me anytime."
The big lion nodded seriously.
Jian Mo: "That's enough, let's go back."
The giant lion, carrying Jian Mo on its back, transformed back into human form, picked up the animal skin coat that had fallen to the ground, and put it on. "Let's go back now."
Jian Mo waved her hand.
Jiang Tou and Hong Qiu left Jian Mo together and headed home.
Jian Mo stood in the courtyard, and even from behind, one could feel Jiang Tou's joy.
The old orc pulled his old companion along, and as they walked, their steps became so light they almost jumped, looking almost like children.
The tribe fired two more batches of glass. After a vote, it was decided that everyone could contribute their own resources in exchange for glass from the tribe.
Therefore, most households now have glass windows.
The sunrise and rosy clouds reflected on the glass windows, like decorative paintings in orange hues.
Jian Mo looked at the stone houses and glass windows, and smelled the smoke rising from the village, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
Tribes are wonderful.
After the anesthetic was available, Jiang Tou was not the only one who came to see Jian Mo.
Orcs and sub-orcs have exceptionally long lifespans, generally reaching three hundred years.
As people get older, they face more health risks, and often they have no other choice but to endure it.
Now that Jian Mo is here, many people are willing to bring some supplies to him to see him and alleviate their pain.
Jian Mo does not refuse anyone, whether they are from her own tribe or another tribe. As long as they come to him for treatment, he will do his best to help them.
However, as a veterinarian, he was still far from being a miracle doctor. He couldn't cure all diseases, but he could try his best to alleviate the symptoms and work hard to improve his medical skills and collect available local medicines.
That day, Jian Mo was sharpening her bone needles in her room when she saw a figure loitering outside.
He thought someone needed to see him, but when he went outside, the person had vanished.
This bothered him, and he specifically talked about it with Wu Jiong that evening.
Wu Jiong: "I'll ask about it tomorrow."
Jian Mo: "Okay. If anyone wants to come for treatment but lacks supplies or has other concerns, ask Qing Kuo and the others to help persuade them."
Wu Jiong: "Understood."
Jian Mo originally thought that the person coming to his door would be a patient, but to his surprise, a day later, Xi Lu floated over in Zhou Fu and admitted embarrassedly that he was the one who had been wandering around outside yesterday.
Xi Lu has fair skin, and her face turns red, which is especially noticeable.
Jian Mo looked at her flaxen-haired orc companion and said, "It's alright. What did you need me for? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xi Lu waved her hand. "No, it's that... my great-grandfather told me about a really good way to stop bleeding. I've used it twice and found it quite effective, so I wanted to tell you and see if it works for you."
Jian Mo somewhat surprised. "Of course it works. What method? Come in, let's have a cup of tea first."
It's a cloudy day today, and the wind is blowing outside. It's quite cold talking outside the door.
Jian Mo invited them inside, picked up a ceramic pot from the hearth, and poured out some tea. "This is a pepper tea with honey; it's hot and spicy, perfect for this weather. Have a couple of cups to warm yourself up."
Zhou Fu reached out and hugged the ceramic cup, taking a deep sniff. "This sweet smell is so wonderful."
Jian Mo: "You guys should try it."
Xi Lu felt a little uneasy. She picked up the glass, touched it lightly to her lips, then put it down again and asked Jian Mo, "Do you know about the Furball Beast?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Mo searched her memory carefully for a moment, then shook her head. "Never heard of it."
Xi Lu gestured, "It's a small beast that's completely black, very small in size, but has long fur. If you touch it, a lot of powder will fall out, and the powder is a little poisonous. Plus, it has a lot of fur, little meat, and a fishy smell, so we usually don't eat it."
Jian Mo nodded, waiting for Xi Lu to continue.
Xi Lu: "The powder that comes off is what can be used to stop bleeding. The powder is very effective at stopping bleeding; once you sprinkle it on, the bleeding will stop in a little while. After using that powder, the wound heals very quickly."
Jian Mo was a little puzzled. "I've never heard of this. Doesn't anyone know about this method of stopping bleeding?"
Zhou Fu chimed in from the side, "There are many herbs outside that can stop bleeding, and everyone just uses whatever they can find. Before Xi Lu mentioned it today, I didn't know that the fur powder from the Furball Beast could be used to stop bleeding."
Xi Lu: "My great-grandfather and the others discovered it by chance. They didn't use it often, so he told me about it."
Jian Mo: "I see."
Xi Lu held the ceramic cup in both hands. "What I wanted to talk about is fur powder. I don't know if it will be useful to you? If it is, I can take you to collect it. I know where to find Furball Beast."
Jian Mo: "Okay, let me ask first. If you need me, I'll come find you."
That evening, as expected, Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong about the Furball Beast.
Although Wu Jiong knew about this small animal, he was completely unaware of the hemostatic properties of its fur powder.
Wu Jiong: "When we go out, if we get injured, we'll just apply some herbal medicine. Even if we don't apply it, we'll just cover the wound with our hand, and after a while, the bleeding will gradually stop."
Jian Mo exclaimed, "I know that; your physical abilities are indeed extraordinary."
Wu Jiong: "Do you need it? If so, we'll go collect some."
Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm worried about whether these animal-derived medicinal materials contain viruses—whether contact with them could cause people to get diseases."
The orc world also has a concept similar to plagues, but these are all legendary.
Wu Jiong understood and said, "People have lived on this land for countless years and have never heard of any tribe falling ill on such a large scale due to wild animals."
Jian Mo: "Perhaps it's because everyone here usually lives a life of hunting and gathering, so their resistance is relatively strong."
