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

Chapter 82 Mother Tree Sap

Lei Xiu approved of the fruit's taste, and Le Zhi introduced it with a beaming smile, "Right? I tried boiling it before, but it didn't taste as good as steaming it like this. Do you think this can be eaten as a staple food regularly? I personally think this is better than the stone fruit and the sweet powder fruit."

Nodding in agreement, Lei Xiu swallowed the food in his mouth. "I think it's a good idea. However, the tribespeople haven't discovered how to eat this before, so they probably haven't paid attention to its growing area. If we want to promote it, we either have to plant it like you, or we can only focus on finding its growing area when harvesting it."

Each tribe is allocated a limited area, and the tribe members generally have a general understanding of the plants and animals in their territory. However, they will focus on remembering those that have been proven to be edible.

If a new gathering site is to be developed, then the participation of both the guard team and the hunting team is necessary to ensure the safety of the surrounding environment of the new gathering site.

"Well, it seems I'll have to talk to the clan leader about this when I have time."

A fruit the size of a bowl will expand after being peeled and steamed because it contains more moisture and air. The one that was steamed without peeling had water vapor accumulating inside. After peeling it, Lezhi found that the flesh became firm and slightly chewy, with a texture like rice cake.

He casually handed the other half to Lei Xiu, gesturing for him to try it.

"Hmm, the texture is alright, and the taste is pretty much the same," Lei Xiu commented.

"Yes, the best thing about this fruit is that it's not too sweet and has a high starch content. It would definitely taste great with meat."

After swallowing the food in his mouth with difficulty, Lezhi realized that this thing was indeed very similar to rice cake, and both were a bit hard to chew.

"I've made up my mind." Having determined the correct way to open the fruit, Lezhi solemnly raised her hand to signal to Lei Xiu, "Let's keep some seeds of the remaining fruit. If we like them, our tribesmen will definitely like them too. Regardless of whether we can find them outside, I'm going to expand the planting scale to at least ensure that we have enough to eat. We can exchange any extras with our tribesmen. Anyway, it's not difficult to grow them."

“Okay.” Lei Xiu naturally wouldn’t go against Yue Zhi’s wishes on such a small matter.

In fact, after discovering how much trouble it would save by having a vegetable garden at home, Lei Xiu has always been a strong supporter of Lezhi's planting business.

The house vines, fed with occasional wood-type energy from Lezhi, and nourished by the leftover scraps that Leixiu and Maoqiu hunted together, grew incredibly vigorously, a rarity in the tribe.

It seems that the existence of the vegetable garden has not placed any burden on Yuki Fuji, which is why Rakuchi was so confident in deciding to expand the scale of cultivation.

Seeing that Lezhi had finished her work, Lei Xiu thought for a moment, then took out something he had prepared for a long time from his spatial storage and handed it to Lezhi.

"Zhizhi, this is for you."

"Huh?" Lezhi took the exquisitely crafted little bottle from Lei Xiu's hand with a puzzled look and asked curiously, "What's this?"

“The sap of the mother tree,” Lei Xiu explained softly.

Seeing the growing suspicion in Lezhi's eyes, Lei Xiu pulled Lezhi to sit down in the living room. "You haven't been feeling quite right lately, and I was worried, so I sent a message to my clan and asked them to ask for some sap from the Mother Tree for you. This is a gift from the Mother Tree to the Tree Spirit Clan."

As Lei Xiu spoke, Le Zhi's memories were also awakened. He seemed to have vaguely heard Le You mention this thing to him, but, "Isn't the sap of the mother tree meant for people who are seriously ill or injured? My condition is at most sub-healthy, it shouldn't be that serious!"

Lezhi genuinely felt that Lei Xiu was making a mountain out of a molehill, but Lei Xiu clearly didn't think so. His eyes were full of disagreement as he tried to persuade Lezhi with reason and evidence.

"Zhizhi, do you know that your current situation is not what a healthy cub should be in?"

Seeing Lei Xiu's solemn gaze, Le Zhi's heart skipped a beat. She blinked and slowly nodded.

"You know, right? I've never been very healthy. The clan chief said I was born with a disability..."

"That's why we need to pay even more attention. I've looked up some information about our clan before. In the thousands of years since the tree spirits were born, there have been cases like yours where no wings were born. They were all underdeveloped for various reasons, and some were even unable to enter adolescence normally. So we need to start paying attention to this now."

Lei Xiu tidied Lezhi's hair and softened his tone, "But you don't need to worry too much. Your situation is a little different from the previous records. The reason I'm telling you this is so that you can pay more attention to your physical condition. You should tell us if you feel any discomfort so that we can help you."

“Zhizhi, you’re not alone now. You have me and your clan. You can learn to rely on us a little. You don’t have to carry everything on your own.” The past few months haven’t been wasted. Moreover, Lei Xiu has been keeping an eye on Lezhi. Of course, he noticed that Lezhi always seemed a little out of place in this world.

That feeling always appeared unexpectedly. It took Lei Xiu a long time to confirm that Le Zhi did not have a strong sense of identity with himself in this world.

This made Lei Xiu somewhat panicked.

Lezhi, who was the source of Lei Xiu's panic, was unaware of Lei Xiu's hidden thoughts. Seeing the uncontrollable worry in Lei Xiu's eyes, Lezhi thought he was just worried about his health. "Um, I know. I'm not used to you being so serious all of a sudden."

Subconsciously leaning back, Lezhi avoided Lei Xiu's gaze, picked up the bottle in her hand, and asked, "Then I'll accept this, thank you."

"You're welcome. If it's convenient, drink it now. In case anything happens, I'll be here to help." Lei Xiu lowered his eyelids slightly, withdrew his hand, sat up straight, and suggested.

"Okay, okay."

Blinking nervously, Lezhi secretly glanced at Lei Xiu, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see any displeasure on his face.

Unscrew the bottle cap, and Lezhi held the bottle opening to her nose and sniffed gently. A pleasant herbal fragrance wafted out, not the unpleasant medicinal smell that Lezhi had imagined.

"This is a single serving, Zhizhi, you have to drink it all."

Lei Xiu's words were both a reminder and an urging. The sap of the Mother Tree was a treasure to all creatures in Jormungand, so it was best to use it immediately after opening it, otherwise it would easily attract covetousness.

Nodding, having spent so much time with Lei Xiu, they had built a certain level of trust, so Le Zhi no longer hesitated and tilted her head back to drink all the juice in one gulp.

The sap from the mother tree is not simply a watery liquid; it doesn't cling to the walls but rather flows entirely into Lezhi's body along with his movements.

When Lezhi put the bottle away, it was clear that the bottle was empty, with only a trace of breath remaining, which quickly dissipated.

Lezhi didn't feel much after consuming the sap of the mother tree. He only felt that the innate energy in his body had become much more active after being nourished by the sap, and its speed of circulation in his body had increased slightly. There were no other changes.

"Zhizhi, how are you feeling?" Lei Xiu asked Lezhi, his eyes fixed intently on her.

"To be honest..." Lezhi clicked her tongue and said blankly, "I don't feel anything."
