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

Chapter 74 Vegetable Garden

Shaking his head to clear his mind of wandering thoughts, Leyou followed his tribesmen forward. With Lezhi acting as a mediator, the crested bird's attitude towards the others softened considerably, no longer displaying a tense demeanor.

Just moments ago, the crested bird was angry, feeling that Le Nian and the others were trying to steal its prey. Now, it was a completely different person when facing Le Zhi. It dragged a dead insect to Le Zhi, put it down, and even nudged Le Zhi with its head, clearly intending to share the food with him.

"Wow..." Le Ting peeked out from behind Le Zhi, looking at the insect corpse that was enormous to them, and curiously poked Le Zhi's shoulder, asking, "Le Zhi, does the crested bird mean it's going to give this to you?"

"I guess so..." Actually, Lezhi has experience with sharing food; he's usually the one who gets to eat from the furry creatures. Whether the birds and beasts are willing or not is very clear from their expressions.

"Wow, that's wonderful! I've never met a bird or beast that's willing to share its food with me before!" Le Nian exclaimed enviously, his mouth practically watering.

“Yes, yes…” Leju and Leyou, who were standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

However, all that talk was just talk; no one dared to actually approach the crested bird and make overtures.

It was getting late, and the shouts of the tribesmen could be heard in the distance, summoning the gathering teams to assemble.

"Oh, it's time to gather, Lezhi..." Leyou heard it first, and he turned to look at the crested bird and Lezhi, his eyes filled with urging.

The crested bird reacted much faster than Lezhi and the others. It seemed to sense that Lezhi was about to leave and let out a low cry.

Lezhi was also very reluctant to part with them, but since they had come out with the gathering team, it was best not to separate from the main group. So, she had no choice but to steel herself, put away all the gifts given by the crested bird, and bid a final farewell to the crested bird with reluctance.

After giving Lezhi one last kiss, the crested bird watched Lezhi and his companions disappear completely before beginning to prepare its prey.

Meanwhile, Le Nian and his group, who had already joined their tribespeople and were on their way back, were excitedly sharing their extraordinary adventure with their acquaintances. Thanks to their embellishment, the nearly one hundred people in the returning group soon all heard the whole story.

"These kids..." The lively atmosphere in the group was not hidden from Le Jing, who was in charge. He didn't mind these young people taking risks, but only if they were fully prepared.

From Le Nian and the others' words, Le Jing immediately sensed the hidden danger. She secretly decided that when she returned, she would suggest that the clan add extra classes; it was time to educate these young people about safety and survival awareness in Jormungandr. Otherwise, even if they escaped unscathed this time, they would definitely dare to do it again next time.

Unaware of what the future held, Le Nian and his friends were still enthusiastically boasting about their experience. Being able to get so close to birds and beasts and escape unscathed was a rare experience for them.

Upon returning to their tribe's territory in the evening, the members of the gathering team would chatter about the day's events whenever they encountered someone. The story of Lezhi and the birds and beasts quickly spread throughout the entire tribe. In this era without the internet, this speed of dissemination was truly astonishing.

"Lezhi, Lejing just said that we're having a clan gathering tonight to celebrate the mushroom harvest. Remember to arrive early!"

Before parting ways with Lezhi, Leyou reminded Lezhi once again that he wouldn't come to pick her up this time and that Lezhi would have to go to the square by herself, so he was a little worried.

"Okay, I got it. I'll get ready and head over. By the way, can Lei Xiu come?" Lezhi asked from her courtyard.

If he could, Leyou really wanted to say no, but his remaining conscience stopped him from blurting out the refusal. "Yes, yes, he's staying in the clan right now, so of course... he can participate."

After struggling to say the words against his will, Leyou quickly waved goodbye to Lezhi, afraid that Lezhi would notice his unpleasant expression. "Alright, I'm leaving."

"Oh, see you in a bit~" Watching Leyou's back as she hurriedly left, Lezhi scratched her head, a little confused.

At this time, Lei Xiu, who had gone out hunting with the hunting team, had also returned to his tribe. He handed over some of the prey to the meeting point and then spread his wings and flew straight towards home. Behind him, all the people in his team looked on in amazement.

In previous years, they only knew that the Thunder Clan was incredibly powerful, so they already had expectations before Lei Xiu joined. However, witnessing the Thunder Clan's true abilities firsthand still inspired their admiration.

"Hiss, their clan is truly born warriors. I estimate that in our clan, only Captain Leshan can rival Lei Xiu."

"Yeah, it's so frustrating to compare yourself to others. Why can't I do it?"

"What are you thinking?" his companion scoffed. "Putting aside your innate abilities, just look at that exquisite close-combat skill. Even if someone taught you step by step, you still wouldn't be able to beat him."

"That's true."

Eager to return home, Lei Xiu paid no heed to the admiring and respectful gazes of the Spirit Feather Clan members behind him. He simply ran straight towards home. Just now at the rendezvous point, he had heard about a gathering team encountering wild birds and beasts, and someone had mentioned the young animals.

This year, only Lezhi was among the Lingyu Clan's cubs. Lei Xiu immediately realized that something must have happened to Lezhi, so he didn't linger at the meeting point and was anxious to go home to check on Lezhi's condition.

"Zhizhi, I'm back."

With a graceful folding landing, Lei Xiu didn't waste a second and hurriedly entered his home, looking up to find Le Zhi's figure.

At that moment, Lezhi, who was planting on the second-floor terrace, also heard Lei Xiu return home. She responded loudly, but did not get up immediately. Instead, she continued with her work.

When Lezhi encountered wild birds and beasts giving him gifts again, he remembered that the unknown bird and beast had also given him a gift before. After finding the brownish-red fruit in the corner of the space, Lezhi studied it for a long time before digging out a few thumb-sized black seeds from the middle of the fruit.

Along with the branch with flower buds that the crested bird had given her, Lezhi planned to try and grow them both. A plant that a bird or beast would specially use as a gift must have something special about it, right? With this thought in mind, Lezhi worked with great enthusiasm.

His planting project has begun to show results. Mosses are growing relatively quickly, such as sweet crystal, spicy leaf and flame grass, which have already been harvested once. Other lichens are also growing quickly and will be harvested soon. As for sweet powder fruit, stone fruit, and the commonly used yellow branch, they have also sprouted, although their growth cycle is longer.

The second-floor terrace has been expanded considerably, and a section has been specially created as Lezhi's personal vegetable garden. Perhaps because Lezhi occasionally releases some wood-type energy into the plants, the house-wood vines haven't shown much resistance to having so many parasitic plants in their bodies.

On the contrary, with the blessing of the wood-based energy of Lezhi, the vines in their house grew even more vigorously.

Following Lezhi's voice, Lei Xiu found Lezhi working deep in the vegetable garden on the second floor. Seeing that he was busy and happy, and did not show any signs of panic after being attacked, Lei Xiu finally felt relieved.
