Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

Luo Ke pointed at the stone pot on the fire and said, "I see you’re boiling water with fire seeds, Ying Da once told me that your tribe prepares food using boiled water."

Ji Nuan smiled, "This water is not for food preparation, but for cleaning the wounds of the injured orcs."

As soon as Ji Nuan finished speaking, he felt shocked gazes gathering from all around him. Luo Ke widened his eyes at the boiling water on the fire, then turned back to Ji Nuan, "Are you sure that cleaning wounds with this water won’t make them worse?"

This water was emitting heat, it looked very hot. Surely it wouldn’t scald off a layer of the orcs’ skin?

Ji Nuan waved his hand, "We boil this water because the water directly taken from the stream has some impurities and tiny insects that we can’t even see. Only boiling the water with fire seeds can kill them, otherwise, these tiny insects would cause mischief in the orcs’ wounds and prevent them from healing."

"Tiny insects?"

Ji Nuan nodded. While he moved the firewood away to let the water in the pot cool down, he continued to spread health knowledge among the orcs, "Why do we, orcs, and females get worm disease?"

Looking at the bewildered faces of the surrounding orcs, Ji Nuan said, "It’s because we’ve been eating raw meat and drinking beast blood."

In fact, wild animals also get worm disease, but it’s not as serious as ours. The worms reproduce inside them, lay eggs, and after we hunt, we eat raw meat and drink beast blood, which introduces these worm eggs into our bodies. There they grow and continue to reproduce, increasing in number and size, eventually leading to worm disease.

Therefore, I insist that our tribe’s orcs must process food with fire seeds, and water must be boiled with fire seeds before drinking."

The orcs, who were hearing about this for the first time, were shocked. So, this was how the worms in their stomachs came into being.

Ji Nuan felt the water temperature with his hand, "Alright, the water is just right, I’ll help you clean your wounds."

Turning to the orcs who were still immersed in the knowledge about worm disease, he said, "If you’re not busy with anything, come and help me. There are a lot of injured orcs, I’m afraid I can’t handle it on my own."

The orcs scratched their heads embarrassingly and were prepared to grab cotton wool.

Ji Nuan quickly stopped them, "You must wash your hands first, your hands are covered in blood, and that’s not clean."

In the minds of the orcs, there was a new formula: unclean=worms.

They hurriedly helped each other clean their hands with the clean water from the stone pot before coming over to help.

Apart from two orcs whose leg bones were bitten off by the hyena beasts, the others only had flesh wounds. Ji Nuan asked the orcs to help clean their wounds, then left them to heal naturally.

He fixed the broken leg bones of the two orcs with tree branches, advising with repetitively common precautions: "Don’t move about before the bones are fully healed, and don’t exert force, or the leg will deform. It will also be very, very painful during the rainy season and winter."

The two orcs nodded vigorously, promising they would follow the instructions and not move recklessly.

Luo Ke hesitated, then asked, "Master Shaman, will their legs... be able to recover?"

Ji Nuan nodded, "Of course, they will still be able to hunt after recovery, with no repercussions. The condition is that they should follow instructions and rest well."
