Chapter 250 Dinner
With his plan succeeding, Leyou raised his fist and gave himself a thumbs up for his ingenious idea.
Even Le Ting, who was watching the soup pot, understood what Le You had done. Everyone and the birds were now watching Mao Qiu, hoping that it would call out Le Zhi.
The fluffy ball had already reached its position and was about to make a sound when some faint sounds came from inside the cave.
Is another bird about to emerge?
The little furball, about to leave, immediately stopped chirping and stared at the cave entrance with its round eyes.
As expected, the first thing to appear was the bird's round head. Its head feathers were very special, resembling a trapezoid when viewed from the side, with a flat top. The crests of other birds and animals were clearly not in the same style.
The square head gives people a cute first impression. Because Leyou was standing close to the cave entrance, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud when he saw the bird. However, he knew that it was a bit offensive, so he tried his best not to make a sound. However, he couldn't control his expression and looked a bit comical for a moment.
Because of its unique head hair, it is easy to overlook at first glance its exceptionally sharp curved beak, its exceptionally shrewd eyes, and its powerful claws. These features all indicate that this is not some funny and cute creature, but a real predator.
What Leyou might overlook, Maoqiu, being a fellow bird and beast, wouldn't. As members of the same race, they don't judge birds and beasts by their appearance like the tree spirits do. They instinctively assess the strength of their fellow beings before deciding how to interact with them.
In the short time it took the bird to step out of the cave, the fluffy ball had already quickly scanned the bird up and down and concluded that it could defeat it, so it did not give the bird any more attention.
This bird wasn't stupid. Although the thing blocking its way was just a little fluffy ball, eyes don't lie. It hadn't seen that kind of superior gaze often, but every time it had, the other party was someone who could easily crush it. So the bird was quite sensible and didn't condemn the fluffy ball for blocking its way. Instead, it took a couple of steps and went around it.
As soon as the bird moved aside, Lezhi, who came out with it, was no longer shielded in front of it.
"Tweet~"
"Oh, haha, okay, I missed you too. How did you know I was behind you?"
The furry ball, which was initially annoyed by the birds and beasts for delaying things, saw Lezhi suddenly appear. Its eyes changed so quickly that they became incredibly clear. With a swoop, the white-furred little cannonball flew into Lezhi's arms.
"Lezhi, you're out."
Because of the birds and beasts blocking the view, Le You didn't see Le Zhi's figure immediately. However, when Le You heard Le Zhi's voice, he immediately perked up. At this moment, he didn't care that the big bird was not far away from him. He immediately picked up the chirping baby bird and ran forward.
As the last patient to recover, Fangtouniao should have been welcomed by his companions as soon as he came out, but because he was the last one, he was destined to have some attention diverted by Lezhi.
However, its companion was very helpful and appeared just in time. After the bird of joy glanced at it and sent it away, the companion that brought it was already waiting by the side and quickly stepped forward to comfort it.
After seeing the square-headed bird, the joyful bird, with its keen sense of the atmosphere inside the cave, already knew that this was the last bird or beast brought in that day. Its appearance signified that in just one afternoon, the joyful bird had successfully healed more than a dozen birds and beasts tormented by the shadows.
Moreover, it's not as simple as just removing the lesions. Fanle Bird confirmed that every sick bird that has been treated by Lezhi has recovered very well, no, very well, even better than before the illness. This is definitely not a coincidence.
The piercing gaze of the celestial bird was too intense for Lezhi to ignore. However, Lezhi didn't have time to think about that now. He had healed so many birds and beasts, and although his mental energy was very satisfied, his body was exhausted and he urgently needed to rest and replenish his food.
"Alright, alright, let's talk as we walk, don't stop here." Lezhi held the fluffy ball nestled in her arms, reached out to stroke the baby bird that was still spreading its fleshy wings in Leyou's arms, and spoke to Leting, who had also come over.
"Okay, let's go over there. You must be hungry. We're having hot pot today. You don't know, Maoqiu..."
Lezhi's sudden appearance excited Leting and Leyou. They shared their own interesting stories from the afternoon they had spent apart with Lezhi, hoping to help her relax.
Listening to these trivial matters is indeed very relaxing. The everyday life and the warmth of everyday life are one of the most reassuring sources of security for Lezhi. He likes to observe the little things in life or chat with friends about gossip, which can greatly relieve his tired mind and body.
As the bird watched Leyou and Leting escort Lezhi to sit down beside the cave, it was not angry because of Lezhi's momentary disregard. Instead, it lowered its gaze and followed the group from a distance, keeping a low profile and watching silently.
If you were to ask what the most enjoyable thing in the world is, having a steaming hot pot with friends on a winter's day would definitely be on the list.
Especially in this environment with its natural beauty, with two or three close friends sitting beside you, and your intimate bird and animal companions waiting to be fed, the number of people is just right, satisfying Lezhi's awkward personality of liking a lively atmosphere but disliking trouble.
Freshly hunted meat, crisp and sweet vegetables, and various mushrooms that have been soaked in water to regain their tenderness—cook whatever you want.
All three of them could handle spicy food, but to accommodate the fledgling, Le Ting thoughtfully prepared two pots, one spicy and one bone broth. Although they couldn't compare to the dazzling array of broths Le Zhi had in his previous life, they were enough to satisfy everyone's needs.
A lively hot pot meal not only satisfied their stomachs but also warmed their hearts.
Meanwhile, the Lingyu Clan rescue team, deep in the jungle, was blocked by the blizzard. Le Zhong's team had found a cave to take shelter before the blizzard intensified; the other teams were heading in a different direction and their current situation was unknown.
"Captain, this won't do. The snow is too heavy, and there's wind too. Even if there were any traces, they've all been wiped out by this. What should we do next?" Le Man's voice was largely swallowed by the howling wind, but Le Zhong still understood what he was trying to say.
He frowned, annoyed by the untimely blizzard, but didn't show it. "Let's take it one step at a time. If all else fails, we'll keep an eye on those birds and beasts. With so many birds and beasts, as long as we don't give up, we'll eventually find our target."
He had already received a message from Yue Chu that Yue Ting had contacted the clan again to report that they were safe. At least for now, the little ones were still safe, so the pressure on the search and rescue team was not so great.
But precisely because of this, they must be extremely cautious in their next actions. If they are too aggressive and the birds and beasts notice something is wrong, the current balance may be broken.
This blizzard came at the worst possible time; otherwise, they could have quickly assembled their team and discussed their next steps. Le Zhong wasn't worried about Leshan; he knew Leshan well, and the man was always very reliable.
What Le Zhong was worried about was Lei Xiu. While Lei Xiu was a genius with high abilities, it also meant that he was too sharp and ambitious. But this was not a good time for him to stand out. Le Zhong was afraid that Lei Xiu would do something reckless because of this blizzard, and in the end, he would suffer more losses than gains.
