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

Chapter 99 Purple Sweet Potato

Seemingly sensing Lei Xiu's unspoken meaning, and recalling her first encounter with Mao Qiu, Le Zhi realized, "Yeah, Mao Qiu seems to be exceptionally tolerant of me~"

Looking down at the fur ball's squinting little eyes as it enjoyed being petted, Lezhi's eyes were full of curious inquiry.

Could it be because he helped the furry ball get rid of the shadowy threat that the furry ball was so kind to him? But before that, the furry ball had already been actively helping him find a habitat. Unable to figure it out, Lezhi picked up the furry ball, bringing his eyes level with itss, and stared intently at it.

"Yeah, Maoqiu, why were you so nice to me from the beginning?"

Not understanding what Lezhi meant, Maoqiu tilted its head cutely. Seeing Maoqiu's adorable appearance, Lezhi, who hadn't expected any answer, also tilted its head and chuckled.

Meanwhile, Lei Xiu, seeing the two adorable creatures, one big and one small, posing cutely, had his thoughtful expression replaced by a smile. Lei Xiu still had some doubts about why Lezhi was so popular with wild birds and beasts, but as long as it didn't cause Lezhi any trouble, there was no need to investigate it further for the time being. In any case, no matter what happened, he would always be by Lezhi's side and wouldn't let anything happen to him.

"Lezhi, over here!" The team members who were already prepared spotted Lezhi and enthusiastically raised their hands to greet him.

"coming."

Holding the furball, Lezhi quickened her pace to meet up with the others. Before long, everyone had gathered.

"I wonder how things are going with Leyou. I hope Uncle Leshan won't object to us going out." The team member who had also chosen to go out to collect data last time and encountered danger with Lezhi was a little uneasy.

"No, Lei Xiu is here. Besides, nothing happened last time," the person next to him reassured him.

Just before the tension began to build, Leyou and Leting finally arrived late, followed by two guards. Judging from the situation, it was clear that something had happened when they left.

Seeing the hopeful and expectant looks in everyone's eyes, Leyou didn't play coy. Instead, he greeted them with a warm smile and said, "Everyone, I'm back. Here, these are Leman and Leyun, the guards that Uncle Leshan assigned to us."

"so……"

“Yes.” Leyou nodded affirmatively. “Uncle Leshan agreed. If everything is ready, we can set off now.”

"Great……"

They excitedly clenched their fists and looked at each other, calming themselves down as they waited for Leyou and Leting to store the supplies and get to know Leman and Leyun.

Compared to Yueyun, who gives off a more distant vibe, Leman's cheerful personality is clearly more popular, and everyone chooses to talk to him first.

“…Ah, you weren’t the first team to request to go out and gather resources. Originally, according to the captain’s requirements, one guard team member was supposed to look after two tribesmen, but since Lei Xiu was in your group, they only sent the two of us.” Le Man chose to answer the young people’s curious questions truthfully.

Lei Xiu became a household name during the previous insect attack. The legend that was originally only circulating among the hunting team was now firmly established in everyone's eyes. Although it has not been obvious in the past two days, many people in the team, including the guards, are secretly paying attention to Lei Xiu's movements.

However, ever since Lei Xiu made his move last time, he has stayed by Le Zhi's side without leaving him, and he has even stopped participating in the hunt. So this time, he finally got the chance to go out with him. The competition within their guard team is also very fierce.

Le Yun was given this opportunity because of his calm personality and outstanding combat skills. As for Le Man, it was because he had dealt with Le Zhi before. The seemingly carefree Le Shan had already observed that Le Zhi had a very good first impression of Le Man. In addition, Le Man himself was also very strong, so he carefully selected the two of them to be responsible for protecting Le You's team.

Having satisfied their curiosity, no one asked any more questions. When Leyou and Leting returned, everyone obediently followed Leyun and Leman's instructions, lining up and entering the unfamiliar jungle in order.

Lezhi, still in the middle of the line, had a ball of fur on her head and a wicker basket on her back. With someone clearing the way in front and Leixiu supporting her from behind, Lezhi only needed to pay attention to whether there were any interesting plants around her. So overall, although the environment was unfamiliar, she was quite relaxed.

I picked a berry that interested me, wiped the surface slightly, and put it in my mouth. The rich, slightly sour and sweet juice burst in my mouth, satisfying my craving and quenching my thirst.

"These are crystal fruits from the Cloud Mist Forest. They should taste a little different from those from the Cloud Dream Forest. If you like them, you can collect more." Leyou was used to explaining everything to Lezhi at any time, and at the same time, he picked a few handfuls of crystal fruits for Lezhi and put them into his basket.

"Okay, that's enough." Accepting Leyou's gift with some embarrassment, Lezhi asked curiously, "Leyou, do you know any other specialties of the Cloud Mist Forest?"

"No, I only heard it from other tribesmen who have been here before. They sometimes bring some back with them, so they've seen some." Waving his hand, Leyou took Lezhi's wrist and led him to catch up with the group.

“The distance between the Cloud Mist Forest and the Cloud Dream Forest is actually not very far, so many plants are similar, with only a few differences. You can tell if you observe carefully.” As he spoke, Leyou raised his hand to Lezhi, “Look, there’s a patch of cucumbers over there that you’ve seen before.”

Following Leyou's directions, Lezhi indeed discovered many familiar plants. After discovering one, Lezhi seemed to have a sudden epiphany; in fact, he knew which direction to look for.

One after another, their gathering team harvested many familiar crystal fruits, cucumbers, sweet fruits, and so on. Leting was also lucky enough to find a cluster of sweet powder fruits. The sweet powder fruits in that cluster were fully ripe, and perhaps because of the geographical relationship, the sweet powder fruits in the Cloud Mist Forest were slightly smaller than those in the Cloud Dream Forest, but they looked to have a better powdery texture.

"Huh, what's this?" Hearing Le Ting's question, Le Zhi curiously went over and frowned in confusion as she looked at what Le Ting was holding.

Cong Leting took the dark, unremarkable fruit from his hand. He peeled back the thin skin of the fruit, revealing the deep purple flesh inside. It had less moisture and was noticeably more starchy than ordinary sweet fruit.

"This is a purple sweet potato!" Putting a small piece of the fruit into her mouth, the unprocessed flesh had a starchy taste, but the unique flavor of purple sweet potato was unmistakable. Lezhi nodded to confirm that she hadn't made a mistake.

"Purple sweet potato?" Leting asked curiously.

"Yes, it's another variety of sweet rice fruit, but it has a stronger aroma and tastes better than sweet rice fruit."

Upon hearing Lezhi's explanation, Leting's eyes lit up. "Really? If it tastes even better, then I'll pick more."

Not only did Le Ting make this decision, but the other group members who heard Le Zhi's words also echoed it and began to search for the fruit that Le Zhi called purple sweet potato in the vicinity.

Although this fruit is called purple sweet potato by Lezhi, it is actually similar to sweet potato, belonging to the same vine species, and the characteristic of vines is that they spread. So as long as you find one branch, you can find a large area by following the vine.

With their extensive harvesting experience, the group quickly located the source of the purple sweet potatoes. Looking at the large clump of ripe purple sweet potatoes in front of them, Leyou waved and called out, "Let's focus on harvesting these today. Everyone, give it your all!"

"it is good……"

With everyone agreeing, they dispersed in an orderly fashion and got to work. Lezhi, who loved purple sweet potatoes, was also eager to join the gathering team.
