Chapter 194 Qingjin's Decision
Chapter 194 Qingjin's Decision
The once silent cradle of life suddenly changed its frequency of flashing light after Lezhi's special farewell, a sight that brought joy to the heart.
Although Lei Xiu had seen the special treatment Le Zhi received from the Mother Tree before, he was still moved when he saw Le Zhi communicating with the Mother Tree almost without any obstacles.
He had initially thought that Lezhi had no memory of the time she was awakened by the mother tree, but now it seemed that this was not entirely true.
Unaware of Lei Xiu's sudden change in expression, Le Zhi, having received a response from the mother tree, turned around contentedly to leave.
He had thought about why he hadn't heard the mother tree's voice since he regained consciousness, but because his understanding of this world was still too shallow, he couldn't come to any effective conclusion.
However, through his actions just now, Lezhi did verify something. At least he was able to prove that the Mother Tree really exists, and that it was not just a figment of his imagination when he was unconscious.
The journey was very smooth. Even though Lezhi was naturally bad at directions, he didn't take any detours. The passage seemed to be guiding him, leading him all the way to the edge of his birthplace.
From afar, Lezhi saw Qingjin and her group resting in small groups. Upon closer inspection, she recognized them all as familiar faces, which put Lezhi at ease.
It's always better to bother someone you know than someone you don't.
"Captain Qingjin, everyone..." After Lezhi regained consciousness, he and Lei Xiu resumed their previous way of getting along. Lei Xiu always followed Lezhi like a shadow, and this time was no exception.
So the group of people who were camping and waiting on the outskirts immediately saw Lezhi running towards them, full of energy, and they all got up with joy.
"Lezhi, you're alright!" Unsurprisingly, Qingze was the first to speak, and he reacted the fastest, stepping forward to greet everyone.
"Yeah, like you can see, it's okay, I'm fine." Lezhi stopped when she was about five steps away from Qingze.
At this moment, the other four people who were waiting also came forward, and each of them had surprise and relief in their eyes.
Le Man and Le Yun said they were familiar with Le Zhi, but they were mainly familiar with the food recipes he had popularized in the tribe. They didn't really communicate much. Compared to Le Zhi, they were more familiar with Lei Xiu, since they had hunted together when they were in the Lingyu tribe.
Qingze and Qingping, on the other hand, were different. After a month of intense daily interaction, they were more familiar and fluent in communicating with Lezhi.
Therefore, while Le Man and Le Yun could only observe Le Zhi's situation with their eyes, Qing Ze couldn't wait to get started.
"Let me see, are you really alright? You suddenly fainted before, which scared everyone..." Qingze pulled Lezhi's arm and spun him around in place, still muttering to himself.
"Alright, stop nagging. It's good that Lezhi is alright." Qingping probably found it annoying too, so she couldn't help but retort.
During the wait, Qingze was the most talkative, and of everyone, he was the closest to Qingze, so he also endured the most. He had been holding back before because he knew the situation was uncertain, but now he could finally banter with Qingze without worry.
"Hehe, I'm really fine now. Thank you all for your help this time. Thank you for bringing me here." Lezhi knew that the concern in everyone's eyes was genuine, so she sincerely thanked them.
As Qingjin slowly approached, Lezhi straightened up, his eyes fixed on her, radiating energy. Lezhi had one of the most distinctive characteristics: he was never afraid to make eye contact. No matter who he was facing, as long as he had a clear conscience, he dared to meet their gaze.
Therefore, everyone felt the impact of Lezhi's coma for a particularly long time.
Once again, Qingjin smiled, a rare occurrence, as Lezhi looked at her intently. "It's good that you're alright. Sending you here was an order, and it was also everyone's choice, so don't worry about it."
When talking to Lezhi, Qingjin became more talkative and her tone softened, completely unlike her usual self, her double standards were blatant.
Seeing that their friends from other tribes had already greeted their children, Le Man and Le Yun stopped standing and, taking advantage of Qing Jin turning to talk to Lei Xiu, quickly took over the space next to Le Zhi.
"Lezhi, it's so good that you're alright. You have no idea how worried the clan leader was before he sent us here. His expression was...tsk tsk~" Leman complained softly, while also trying to relax after being tense for the past few days.
"I'm sorry to have worried everyone. How are the clan leader, Uncle Lezhong, and Leyou and the others doing?" Lezhi's tone couldn't help but sound anxious as he thought of his friends.
"Hey, right? I haven't seen Maoqiu at all. What happened to it?" Once you think of one thing, you start thinking of a whole bunch of others.
Lezhi, who had been overly excited since waking up, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He then realized that the furry ball that had been following him had not been seen since he woke up.
Seeing Lezhi suddenly panic and look around frantically, Leman, who was about to answer Lezhi's first question, quickly raised his hand to hold Lezhi's shoulder and turned him around so that he was facing Lei Xiu, who was moving in their direction.
"Hey, Maoqiu..." Lezhi, whose gaze had been forcibly diverted, saw Lei Xiu taking off the familiar package from behind as he walked, and quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Seeing that the fluffy ball and the baby bird were lying peacefully in the package, fast asleep, Lezhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"They're pretty carefree, aren't they? With so many people talking here, they can still sleep."
“No…” Lei Xiu knew that Le Zhi would misunderstand, so he explained the special nature of the birthplace to Le Zhi, “…They will wake up after we leave the area of the birthplace.”
"That's amazing." Although he already knew that Jormungandr was a completely different world from his previous life, Lezhi still often felt ashamed of his ignorance.
It seems he'll have to study hard after he becomes a Hui, otherwise he'll be making a fool of himself by not knowing even basic common sense.
“Yes, of course the place of birth is special.” Le Man stepped forward to corroborate Lei Xiu’s words. Watching Le Zhi skillfully secure the bundle to his chest, he realized where Lei Xiu had learned the way he carried Le Zhi.
For some reason, it gave people the feeling that birds of a feather flock together. Le Manmo stroked his chin, raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lei Xiu, and quickly looked away before Lei Xiu noticed.
Just kidding, Lei Xiu's combat power is no joke. Even if you're just whispering to yourself, you have to be careful not to let the person in question find out. She's very good at reading people, which is the biggest reason why Le Man can remain the number one gossip in the Spirit Feather Clan's guard team while still protecting herself.
"Um, Lei Xiu, Captain Qing Jin, now that Le Zhi is alright, can we discuss setting off as soon as possible? After all, we don't have much time." Before setting off, Le Chu had already considered all possible outcomes for this trip. Of course, it would be the best outcome if Le Zhi could recover.
So Le Chu had also told Le Man and the others that if Le Zhi recovered, they should bring him back to the clan as soon as possible. Dong Chenji was no joke, and if he was still lingering outside by then, it would be dangerous.
“Okay, let’s rest at the edge of our birthplace today. Once Maoqiu is awake and we’ve confirmed that Lezhi is in stable condition, we’ll set off tomorrow with full speed ahead.” As the team leader, Qingjin was as decisive as ever and made the decision quickly.
