I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 135 Growth Abnormalities

When old friends meet, nothing is more joyful than a meal together. If that's not enough, then get together a few more times. Especially since they were eating hot pot, a food that can strengthen bonds, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Le Nian and Le Ju also successfully became friends with Qing Ze and Qing Ping, and even made an appointment to go out to collect materials together.

There weren't many potstickers and pies made from flour, just enough for everyone present to try, but the natural versatility of flour, combined with Lezhi's decent seasoning, still delighted everyone.

"Lezhi, this pie is even tastier than the previous meat pie." As someone who had been fed by Lezhi for half a month, Lezhong had a lot to say and was the first to express his opinion.

"Mmm." Le Nian hadn't even swallowed the food in his mouth when he heard Le Zhong's words, so he quickly nodded in agreement. He thought so too.

"And after eating it, my stomach felt warm." Leting rubbed her stomach to make sure it wasn't her imagination.

Lezhi hadn't expected this either. In his previous life, he had heard that noodles could soothe the stomach, but it seemed to be because of the role of yeast. This time, the noodles hadn't been fermented, yet they still made his stomach feel comfortable. Lezhi couldn't figure out why.

"I don't know what's going on either, but that's not important. The most important thing is that it tastes good." Lezhi readily gave up on thinking about it and chose to lie down.

"Delicious, much better than I imagined." Leyou nodded, popped the last potsticker into his mouth, and chewed it happily. The potsticker was pan-fried, and the crispy bottom combined with the soft and chewy dough gave him a double texture. With the perfectly seasoned filling, one bite was a great satisfaction.

"Lezhi, how is this made? Teach me later, and I'll exchange some seeds to take back and learn how to make it myself." Leju was much more thoughtful than those who only thought about food; he had already thought about the future.

Finally finding someone with the same interests, Lezhi nodded happily, "Great! Leju, you can help me in the kitchen these days. With you here, I can relax a bit."

For the past few days, Lezhi has been stuck in the kitchen. Although Leting and Leyou occasionally come to help, there are only a few of them, and everyone has their own responsibilities, so Lezhi is too embarrassed to slack off for too long.

Now that Leju, who is skilled with his hands, has joined the team, he can ask Leju for help with many of his tasks. Given the current level of difficulty in their work, Leju should be able to get the hang of it quickly, which will also free up Lezhi to study the production of finished sauces.

Previously, Leting had mentioned that the mushroom sauce stock was running low, and Lezhi had also thought of a few other sauces, but hadn't had time to make them.

“No problem. You’ve been busy for so long, this is a good opportunity for you to take a break.” Leju smiled, his eyes crinkling, completely understanding Lezhi’s feelings. “The trade fair has been open for so long, haven’t you had a proper look around yet?”

Leju's words pinpointed the key point, and the three of them nodded wistfully. Setting up a stall was much busier than they had imagined. Indeed, the trade fair had been going on for ten days, and they still hadn't had a chance to tour it all.

Seeing this, Le Nian quickly stepped forward and said, "Ah, you guys are too busy. It's a rare opportunity to come to the Windwalker Clan to participate in the hunting competition, how can you not have some fun?"

"We want to play, we want to play." Leyou chuckled twice, embarrassed to admit that they had been so focused on business these past two days. The main problem was that they had so many regular customers who were praising them that they hadn't realized they were also there to participate in the hunting tournament. They were only thinking about making money.

"Oh, what's the big deal? This is just a pre-opening trade fair. Not everyone has arrived yet. It'll be really lively when the hunting competition officially starts. We can take a day off then and make time to go shopping. Qingping and I will lead the way."

Qingze offered his advice without any hesitation. After spending so much time together, he and Leyou, these two social butterflies, were practically sworn brothers, so he offered his advice without any reservations.

The others who interrupted didn't mind. With Leyou around, they were already used to this kind of outgoing person. On the contrary, Qingze's enthusiasm made the group of people who had come from afar feel more at ease.

“I think it’s feasible,” said Le Ting, who had been silent until now. He hadn’t been in charge of much work lately, but it was very messy and frustrating. He was more than happy to take a break. Before that, Le Ting decided to pull Le Nian under his wing and train him to take over his job.

Unaware that Le Nian had already been reserved by Le Ting, he was still happily scooping meat out of the pot and eating it.

Dinner was a noisy affair that lasted until evening. Lezhi still had things to do every day, something Leyou and Leting were well aware of.

"We'll take care of the rest. You don't need to worry about it. Leju and Lenian are here. Go on."

"Yeah, you worked hard cooking today, see you tomorrow."

Together they pushed Lezhi away. Leyou and Leting pulled Leju and Lenian back and waved to Lezhi and Leixiu. Qingze and Qingping were responsible for escorting Lezhi, so they also stood up one after another.

Having already learned roughly what Lezhi was currently doing with the Windwalker Clan from Leshan, Lezhong also stood up. "Lezhi, I won't keep you company. I just heard from Leyou that you're having trouble figuring out how to remove the husk from these wheat seeds. I'll take a look at that."

Le Zhong's suggestion was exactly what Le Zhi wanted to hear. Before he could even bring it up, Le Zhong spoke up first, which really surprised Le Zhi.

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Le Zhong."

"Don't be so polite. Don't forget, my word always stands. Feel free to come to me if you need anything."

Le Zhong patted Le Zhi on the shoulder. After not seeing him for a long time, Le Zhong noticed that Le Zhi had grown a bit more. "Grow up quickly, my little one."

Lezhi was a little confused by the sudden "tiger parenting" approach. However, Lezhong didn't explain much, but instead waved to Leshan, who had been waiting for a long time.

The elders loved to play the mystery game, and Lezhi, too lazy to investigate, obediently followed Lei Xiu and the others on their daily journey.

After so many days, Lezhi has successfully memorized the way to the half-sky building, but even so, Qingze and Qingping still insist on picking him up and dropping him off every day without ever slacking off, and Lei Xiu also accompanies Lezhi every day, never letting him face things alone.

Lezhi felt that the people around him were being a little too protective of him. He should have felt heartwarming, but for some reason, in addition to feeling comforted, he also felt an inexplicable sense of irritation.

Because he sensed the excessive protectiveness of those around him, Lezhi subconsciously concealed the recent abnormalities in his body.

Actually, it's not a big deal. In the past two days, as more and more Windwalker Clan members have been healed, the little seedling between the eyebrows has absorbed more and more shadow energy, and its branches and leaves are growing faster and faster.

Perhaps it was because it was growing too fast, but Lezhi, who was in the same body as it, always felt inexplicably itchy all over. During the day, it could distract itself by having things to do, but at night when it was quiet, its senses were amplified, and Lezhi felt very uncomfortable.

Lately, Lezhi hasn't been sleeping very well, always tossing and turning. Even when he finally falls asleep, he's only in a light sleep. Only Maoqiu knows about this so far, but Maoqiu isn't a tree spirit, so Lezhi's only problem is that he's restless while sleeping; he can still run, jump, and eat, and his temper is getting worse, but that's not a big deal for Maoqiu.

Even at night, when the seedlings grow rapidly, the benefits to Maoqiu make it less alert. However, being naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm, it becomes even quieter during the day. Seeing that Lezhi is becoming increasingly irritable, Maoqiu remains as quiet as a chicken, trying to minimize its presence, which is quite cunning.
