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

Chapter 62 Healing

As the shadows dissipated and Lei Xiu regained some of his energy, he had already noticed how ambiguous the two's actions were, but for some reason, he didn't remind Le Zhi.

Lezhi, perhaps because he had absorbed too much energy at once, felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, his whole body warm and comfortable, and his mind was a little sluggish. He stared blankly at Lei Xiu in front of him, with only one thought in his mind: Lei Xiu's eyes were so beautiful before.

The two remained in that position for a long time without moving. They didn't think anything of it, but the people waiting on the side couldn't bear to look at them.

"Ahem..." Le Chu coughed lightly to clear her throat, but seeing that the two people over there still didn't react, having observed Le Zhong's treatment once before, and roughly judging that Lei Xiu was no longer a problem, Le Chu decided to speak directly, "Um, Le Zhizai, how is Lei Xiu doing? Is something wrong?"

Startled back to reality by Le Chu's words, Le Zhi blinked, only then realizing that her actions seemed somewhat inappropriate, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red. She retracted her previously casually placed hands and feet, raised her hand to touch her nose, and took two steps back to stand properly.

"Ah, it's nothing. I've already taken care of that on my end. There shouldn't be any problems. If you're still worried, you can observe for a few more days."

Despite being a cured patient, Lei Xiu was unusually calm. He kept his back to the three of them, so no one noticed the deep reluctance that flashed in his eyes as Le Zhi left. Slowly raising his hand to straighten his clothes, Lei Xiu silently looked up at Le Zhi, who was staring at the sky and the ground, refusing to look at him.

"Thank you, thank you, Lei Xiu, how are you feeling?" Rein and the others reacted much more normally, befitting the behavior of a family member of a seriously ill patient. Upon hearing Lezhi say that everything was settled, their elation was direct and enthusiastic.

"Yes, I feel great, thanks to... Lezhi." Lei Xiu replied, concealing the emotions in his eyes.

Hearing her name spoken by Lei Xiu, Le Zhi's heart felt a slight tingling sensation, as if brushed by a feather. Patting her chest, Le Zhi turned and returned to her seat, picking up the obedient furball that had been staying in the chair and sitting down, trying to dispel the unease in her heart.

Le Chu noticed the unusual behavior of Lei Xiu and Le Zhi. The two members of the Thunder Clan were caught up in the jubilation of their clansman's recovery and did not notice, but Le Chu, as an observer, keenly sensed that something was wrong.

He unconsciously twitched his lips; a bad feeling crept into his heart.

After everyone had calmed down and sat down again, Le Chu spoke first, "Alright, the situation is much better than we imagined. Everything is going smoothly. So what are your plans next?"

The various tribes of the Tree Spirits get along well, but there are also degrees of closeness. For example, the Spirit Feather Tribe has a better relationship with the nearby Longtail Tribe and Windwalker Tribe, while the Thunder Tribe is not easy to get close to because of its highest combat strength. Therefore, Yue Chuyi was not sure about their behavior at first.

The Shadow Disease was a threat to all the Treant Clan, so when the Thunder Clan came knocking, Le Chu brought them to find Le Zhi without hesitation. However, the situation unfolded somewhat unexpectedly, and Le Chu had a persistent feeling that he had led a lamb into the lion's den.

Looking at her little one who hadn't even grown up yet, Le Chu's face, which had just calmed down, started twitching again.

"Um, we..."

“I plan to stay in the Lingyu Clan for a while. Rein and the others will be leaving in a couple of days. I would appreciate it if Chief Lechu could do me a favor.”

Before Renn could finish speaking, Resh interrupted him and made his decision on his own.

Just as he expected, Yue Chu raised her standard fake smile, somewhat unwilling to maintain her composure, and had the urge to simply kick them out of the clan. However, as the clan leader, she could only think about it and absolutely could not actually do it.

Even though she was secretly suffering from internal injuries, Le Chu still nodded and agreed to Lei Xiu's request, after all, his request was not excessive. "Okay, please follow me, I will find someone to make arrangements immediately."

Turning to her own child, Le Chu's tone softened considerably, "Le Zhi, you should rest well. I'll come see you again later. If you need anything, go find Le You or Le Jing, okay?"

Perhaps because Lezhi was the first clansman that Lechu found and accepted, Lezhi had always had a bit of a chick complex towards Lechu. Therefore, Lezhi was not very averse to being treated like a baby by Lechu and just nodded obediently.

Seeing her son nod, Le Chu couldn't help but reach out and pat his hair to comfort him before stepping outside first.

At this moment, Renn and his clansmen, seeing that Lei Xiu had recovered and stood up effortlessly, also smiled happily. After thanking Le Zhidao again, they followed Le Chu out.

Lei Xiu, who deliberately lagged behind, stopped at the door, turned around and looked at Le Zhi, who was waiting to see him off. Looking at Le Zhi, who was much shorter than him, he said softly, "I'm leaving now, I'll come see you again later."

"Ah, oh, okay, fine."

Not quite understanding what Lei Xiu meant, Le Zhi responded blankly, a far cry from her domineering demeanor during the treatment. After waving goodbye to the group, Le Zhi stood at the door, unable to recover for a long time.

Lei Xiu and the others came to visit after Le Zhi had finished preparing meals for Le Zhong for the day. Now the sun was approaching dusk, and Le Zhi and Mao Qiu, who had not finished eating, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I just consumed so much energy, I'm not hungry at all, fluffy ball, what do you want to eat? I'll make something especially for you today."

"Chirp chirp~ Chirp~"

Seemingly understanding what Lezhi meant, Maoqiu's little black bean eyes lit up instantly. It happily flapped its wings and cheerfully responded to Lezhi.

To reward Maoqiu for being obedient, Lezhi kept her word. Since there hadn't been any food left at home recently, Lezhi not only made roasted meat for Maoqiu, which she hadn't done in a long time, but also made a pot of stewed meat just for her to enjoy.

Being able to eat alone is practically the ultimate reward for foodie Maoqiu. Watching Maoqiu happily chattering away, Lezhi started making the jerky she had planned to make earlier.

First, separate the lean and fatty meat. Render the fat from the fatty meat, and blanch the lean meat in water to remove any unpleasant smell. Then, add seasonings and cook until done. After draining the water, fry the meat in oil again, and finally, season it.

Previously, when Lezhi mentioned wanting Flame Grass, Lezhong gathered a bunch for Lezhi the very next day.

Since recovering, Le Zhong has become more and more agile, no longer spending all his time at home working. Now he goes out hunting from time to time, taking the opportunity to practice his somewhat rusty skills.

Knowing that Lezhi was looking for suitable ingredients to make seasonings, he would occasionally bring back some things that he didn't usually eat and show them to Lezhi to see if they were useful.

However, Le Zhong wasn't as lucky as Le You. So far, among the things he brought back, only Flame Grass and a plant called White Leaf were somewhat similar to the seasonings Le Zhi had in his previous life. Flame Grass was indeed as Le Zhong had said, extremely spicy, almost like the super spicy seasonings of his previous life. Le Zhi was very cautious when using Flame Grass for seasoning, fearing that he might create a biological weapon.

The white leaves have a unique aroma, which can enhance the flavor when stewed with meat. There's nothing else to it, but Lezhi is already quite satisfied with these features.

Using sweet crystals instead of sugar, along with scallions, ginger, and garlic, and using shiitake mushrooms instead of soy sauce and oyster sauce, plus white leaves and licorice root, Lezhi can already create a pretty good flavor.

This time, Lezhi made one batch of non-spicy and one batch of spicy dried meat, using up all the meat that had been stored at home for several days.
