In the yard.
Hu Jiaojiao and Long Mo were busy for a while before they sent away all the beastmen who came to visit with good intentions.
Hu Jiaojiao promised to make delicious food for the cubs. Although it was not yet noon and not time to eat, it was okay to have a snack occasionally.
She looked at Long Mo and said, "I'm going to the kitchen to cook. You must be tired after the journey. Go back to your room and take a rest. I can handle this alone."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the tiredness on Long Mo’s face.
Of course Hu Jiaojiao couldn't bear to let him work so hard anymore.
"It's okay, I'm not tired." Long Mo's eyes were gentle, and he had no intention of going back to rest.
But seeing Hu Jiaojiao insisted, he changed his words:
"Then you make food for the baby. I'm going to go out for a while."
"You still have to go out? Do you have anything else to do? Otherwise, I'll go with you!" Hu Jiaojiao looked at the tiredness between his brows and said worriedly.
Long Mo smiled faintly, raised his hand and gently stroked her frowning eyebrows to help her smooth them out.
"It's nothing serious. I just went to see how the two injured orcs are doing. Just wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."
Hu Jiaojiao thought about it and felt that if she went with Long Mo, he would have to take her with him, which would increase his burden even more.
It would indeed be faster for him to go by himself.
Then he nodded.
"Okay, then you go early and come back early. I'll wait for you at home."
Long Mo's doting gaze swept across Hu Jiaojiao's face, and he suddenly lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the center of her eyebrows.
"good."
A deep voice came out.
Soon, Long Mo turned into a dragon and flew away from the small courtyard.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at Long Mo's leaving shadow until he disappeared from her sight, then she turned and went to the kitchen.
Ling'er has been lying in bed for more than two months, so she needs to take good care of her body.
Most of the ingredients in the home warehouse are pickled for easy preservation.
Hu Jiaojiao took out fresh ingredients directly from the space.
Now her space was already filled with various prey, and what she took out was a dismembered wild boar.
The prey in the animal world and the food in the space have their own advantages. This wild boar is very fat and the meat is tender.
Because it grows up eating natural plants, it even smells lightly of milk, without any fishy smell at all.
Hu Jiaojiao picked out a large portion of ribs and prepared to stew a pot of lotus root and pork ribs soup.
Before she could find any lotus roots in the Beast World, she directly took out two long and thick lotus roots from the shelf in the space.
Anyway, the food will be stewed until it is soft and seasoned, so no one will care too much about what it is made of.
If you really ask, just say you took it from the warehouse.
When the warehouse was built, Hu Jiaojiao had decided to let the warehouse and the Beast God take the blame.
Cut the ribs into pieces, wash the lotus root and cut it into the same size, put them into the pot, add the ingredients and simmer on low heat. When a layer of white and yellow fat and foam floats on the surface, Hu Jiaojiao carefully scoops out the top layer.
While the spareribs were stewing, Hu Jiaojiao chopped four large pig's trotters, cut them into pieces, added the marinade, and put them in another pot to cook.
Orcs have big appetites, so after Yin Cang came, one stove was not enough.
Later, she and Long Mo converted the kitchen into a double stove, which made it more convenient to prepare food for the cubs.
Soon, bursts of fragrance wafted from the kitchen.
Hu Jiaojiao threw a few big sweet potatoes into the fire. The cubs had a special liking for roasted sweet potatoes.
The other side.
Long Mo flew away from the courtyard and headed straight for the veterinarian's cave.
It didn't take long for us to reach our destination.
The masters of the two rat tribe veterinarians have now come to the tribe and live with them in a cave.
The old veterinarian is a fox orc, and was originally a member of Hu Min's tribe. He and Hu Lin were separated at the beginning.
Now that he knew that the two orcs were injured because of Ling'er, he felt obliged to offer help in treating them.
As soon as Long Mo landed at the entrance of the cave, he saw two rat veterinarians sitting there bored.
Seeing Long Mo coming, they immediately stood up.
"Long Mo, are you here to see the two injured orcs?" asked the rat veterinarian.
Long Mo did not deny it. As he walked in, he asked in a deep voice:
"How are their injuries?"
Two rat veterinarians followed quickly behind.
"Don't worry, with our master here, they will be fine."
"It's just that the injury has been delayed for too long. It takes some time to recover. I can't hunt recently."
These two orcs were carried back.
Long Mo was well aware of their injuries, and this answer was expected.
"Do you want to go see them?" the rat veterinarian asked hesitantly when he saw that he did not stop.
"I came to see you."
Long Mo stopped and looked at the two of them with a deep gaze.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Long Mo was sitting in the cave of the rat veterinarian, his animal skin half open, revealing his sturdy upper body.
Two ratfolk veterinarians stood before him.
When his eyes looked at Long Mo's chest, his eyes widened in shock.
There was a palm-sized piece of rotten flesh in the middle of Long Mo's chest. It was pitch black, as if the wound had been severely injured repeatedly. Blood had flowed out layer after layer, resulting in a thick layer of scab.
But there were countless cracks in the middle of the scab, and yellow pus oozed out from it.
It looks very creepy.
"How come you are so badly injured!"
One of the veterinarians couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Your injury is more serious than those two orcs. How come the other orcs are not injured, but you are so powerful..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
The other veterinarian noticed the coldness in Long Mo's eyes and quickly covered his mouth.
Stumbling and asking:
"What do you need from us?"
Since he came to them alone, he must not want other orcs to know that he was injured.
"Give me the herbs and help me heal. The sooner the better." Long Mo said grimly.
The rat veterinarian nodded hurriedly, "We have herbs! Wait a minute, I'll get them."
After saying that, he turned around and quickly went to look for some useful herbs.
Fortunately, after the arrival of spring, they went to the forest to replenish a lot of herbs. Now there is enough food in the tribe and the number of orcs injured has decreased.
There are plenty of herbs, so there is no need to worry about not having enough.
Soon the rat veterinarian came over with a bag of herbs.
"This is the most useful herb. It can heal wounds quickly." explained the rat veterinarian.
Long Mo took a look and reached out to take it, "Thank you."
The rat veterinarian hesitated and said, "Your wound is too serious. It's difficult for you to handle it. Let me do it."
If it is not handled properly, it will make the situation worse.
Upon hearing this, Long Mo did not refuse.
This is the wound left by the dark shadow.
It was originally just a small wound, but after repeated deterioration, it became like this.
He didn't want Hu Jiaojiao to see this injury, so it would be better if he could recover sooner.
The two rat veterinarians looked at each other, one held the herbs, and the other took out a clean bone knife from the side.
One of the veterinarians approached with a bone knife, looked at the horrific wound, and swallowed.
Remind quietly:
"I have to shave off the pus-oozing flesh first. Just bear with it..."
