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

Chapter 427 The Insect-Raising Clan

"You're quite similar to a little guy in our tribe, except he's only interested in insects, and I've never seen him get along with birds."

"Oh, really? Who is it?"

There was a gentleness in Mu Ming's voice that he himself hadn't realized. It immediately piqued Le Zhi's interest.

Aside from the attitude of the people in Mu Ming's conversation, the main reason was that it was the first time he had heard of anyone being interested in insects.

Seeing that Lezhi was interested in the topic, Muming perked up as well. "His name is Muyun. He just entered adolescence last year. His hunting skills are quite good, but he didn't join the hunting team. I heard he didn't want to join the guard team either. He's been brooding over collecting a bunch of insects for his family, saying he wants to keep them. The clan leader took some people to check on them and confirmed they were all insects with little attack power, so he let him be. I was busy at the time and wasn't there, but I remember..."

"Hey, Muwen, come here."

"Coming," Mu Wen was talking to his tribesmen when he heard Mu Ming call him. He came running over, not intimidated by the fact that they had fought together before. He nodded to Le Zhi and Lei Xiu as a greeting, then looked at Mu Ming and asked, "Captain, did you call me?"

"Yes, come, sit down." Mu Ming patted the seat next to him, tugged at Mu Wen's sleeve, and gestured for him to sit down.

"When the clan leader went to Mu Yun's place before, did you go with him? Tell me, what happened?"

The captain wasn't interested before, so why is he suddenly asking again?

Mu Wen was puzzled, but under Mu Ming's prompting gaze, she honestly answered, "I heard that Mu Yun brought insects back to the clan. The clan leader took us to see them, and later confirmed that they were just some winged aphids. You know those things, they have no fighting ability, they just reproduce a lot."

As if remembering something, Mu Wen shivered. "Mu Yun said he wanted to keep him and promised he wouldn't cause any trouble, so the clan leader let him be. He's just a kid, probably just playful and harmless. These little bugs won't cause any trouble. That's what the clan leader said, and then we didn't bother with it."

"No, it's not that we didn't manage them at all. Those bugs eat too much." Mu Wen pouted, looking somewhat disgusted. "Mu Yun goes to find a lot of plants every day to feed the bugs, and we also bring him some when we have time."

"No wonder you've been pulling up those weeds lately; they're all for Mu Yun."

"Yeah, it was just something I did."

Upon hearing this, Yuezhi raised an eyebrow slightly, having roughly understood the whole story.

In the eyes of these people, it's just that the child suddenly decided to get a pet. Although they don't really understand it, they at least show basic respect in their attitude and tend to support it in their actions.

"You guys are pretty open-minded!" Lezhi praised.

His eyes crinkled with laughter. No wonder when he wanted to bring Jelly Frog along, Mu Ming and the others only stated the objective difficulties, but did not subjectively stop him.

Even when they later discovered the leaf beetle, they didn't react much. The Valley Clan is quite interesting.

Suddenly praised, although they didn't understand what "enlightened" meant, they could tell the difference between good and bad words and knew that Lezhi was saying nice things about them, so they both smiled broadly.

"Where, where..."

"You flatter me, you flatter me..."

"puff……"

Two idiots.

Lei Xiu came specifically to support Le Zhi, but it turns out these two are all show and no substance. Lei Xiu felt that his attitude of taking them seriously was a bit of a joke.

"Zhizhi, it's late, get some rest. We have to travel tomorrow."

With the blatant order to leave issued, Mu Ming and Mu Wen could no longer linger, so they both got up to take their leave.

The moon was already high in the sky, and the climate in Firephosphorus Canyon was dry and warm, which was more suitable for Lezhi and the others to rest than the Misty Swamp, but Lezhi couldn't fall asleep.

Today, so many poisonous worms were brought back. Although Lezhi didn't say it explicitly, Lei Xiu had pieced together most of what had happened from Mu Wen and Mu Ming's snippets of conversation.

Lezhi was waiting for Lei Xiu to come and ask.

But Lei Xiu's patience was much better than he had imagined. He put out the fire, offered Coke, and then lay down beside him without uttering a word. Only when he saw that Lei Xiu had closed his eyes and was adjusting his breathing did he realize that Lei Xiu didn't seem to intend to ask anything.

Why? Mu Ming wanted to ask that just now, but he didn't have a chance to ask because they weren't close.

Lei Xiu clearly had a chance, and he certainly knew that as long as he asked, Le Zhi would at most hide something, but at least wouldn't lie to him. So why didn't he ask?

Doesn't he have any curiosity at all?

Unable to comprehend Lei Xiu's thought process, Le Zhi watched helplessly as his breathing gradually became regular and calm, only to burst out laughing in exasperation.

If you don't want to ask, then don't ask; he doesn't want to tell you anyway.

"Chirp chirp~" "Shh, go to sleep."

It was clearly Lezhi's excessive movements that disturbed Maoqiu, but he was blamed instead. Maoqiu couldn't do anything about it, gurgled a couple of times, and then went back to sleep peacefully.

As the night deepened and the moon hung high on the branches, Lei Xiu silently opened his eyes. Judging from the sound of breathing, the people and birds around him were already in a deep sleep. He quietly got up and left.

Outside the cave, Mu Ming was keeping watch with another person. When he saw Lei Xiu come out, Mu Ming gestured to the clansman. The man immediately understood his meaning, nodded to the two of them, and then quietly went into the cave to rest, leaving Mu Ming and Lei Xiu speechless.

"Lezhi is asleep."

"Ah."

This guy completely killed the conversation. No wonder I never liked him before; he was too boring and uninteresting.

"I mean, how has Lezhi put up with you for so long, being so boring?"

Although they had only spent less than a day together, Mu Ming was certain that Le Zhi was the same kind of person as him, well, at least on the surface.

And these kinds of people have one thing in common: they like interesting people, but Lei Xiu is not at all like that.

Seemingly touched on a sore spot, Lei Xiu glared at Mu Ming until he raised his hand to admit his mistake, then looked away, saying, "It has nothing to do with you."

Zhizhi wasn't putting up with him; Muming knew nothing.

"Alright, alright, it's none of my business." With a smile playing on his lips, Mu Ming, who rarely saw Lei Xiu like this, became interested in talking. The fire he had specially lit crackled and popped, casting flickering light and shadow on Mu Ming's face.

"You must have noticed something's wrong with the little guy, right?"

This wasn't a question, but a statement. Mu Ming said it with certainty.

Lei Xiu didn't answer, and Mu Ming didn't need him to answer either. Everyone had their own clear understanding of right and wrong; he was just expressing his own opinion.

"I was wondering before when such a person appeared in the clan. He didn't even have wings, yet he could easily defeat the shadow. Such a person would definitely not be unknown. Sure enough, later the news spread that he had grown wings."

Mu Ming smiled and shook his head, "That's true. You've already taken him to find the mother tree, so the mother tree definitely won't abandon him."

"I was planning to contact you sometime, but then I got assigned to guard my birthplace, so I didn't have a chance. By the way, did you see them that time you went?"

The words were vague, but Lei Xiu clearly knew who Mu Ming was referring to. He shook his head, his expression seemingly unchanged, but his eyes were much heavier.

"I haven't seen the shadows on me since they went out of control. I've only heard news about them occasionally, from my birthplace and from the Biluo Clan."

"Where is the mother tree? Can we get in touch with her?"

Lei Xiu shook his head again, and Mu Ming smiled bitterly, "We can't get in touch with them either. Everyone has tried countless times in shifts, but we still can't reach them..."

No, there is someone we can contact. Lei Xiu's eyes flashed, then he lowered them again and remained silent.

"Never mind, at least he hasn't abandoned us yet."

The words were scattered by the night wind, and a mischievous breeze took the opportunity to sneak into the cave, blowing open a crack in the tent where Lezhi was hiding. The breeze lingered in his ears, bringing with it a sigh from afar.
