Chapter 415 Not Tired
Chapter 415 Not Tired
"This is Hua Rong. If it weren't for how serious his condition was, I wouldn't have been able to do this either, sigh..."
After exchanging identities, Lezhi immediately asked to see the patient first, which was also the reason he rushed over. Huali responded immediately upon hearing this.
It wasn't that they didn't understand manners, but rather that they could tell Lezhi was genuinely anxious.
So after a short while of small talk, Lezhi and Leixiu were taken to the room where Huarong was placed.
Jelly Frog was left outside its territory. Birds and beasts were one thing, but it was still a Zerg, and Lezhi had to consider the interests of its allies.
Before they even entered the house, the furry ball, which had only recently regained consciousness, sensed the shadowy figure, and the mushrooms on its ears began to stir restlessly.
The fluffy ball and the water bubble containing the leaf beetle were entrusted to Lei Xiu. While explaining the principle of mushroom parasitism to Hua Li, Le Zhi observed the situation of Hua Rong inside the house.
No wonder Chief Hua Li was in such a hurry. In just a few days, the black markings that had covered two-thirds of his body were now spreading all over.
Hua Rong could barely cry out in pain at this point, and only occasionally, when she couldn't bear it any longer, would she let out a faint sound.
The vines that held the limbs were replaced time and time again, but they would always be tainted by the shadows after a short time, leaving no choice but to destroy them and replace them with new ones.
The tribespeople responsible for caring for Hua Rong knew best about the progress of his illness, so when they realized who the chief had brought, he was the happiest. There was another person who was also very happy, and that was Hua Shi.
“Clan leader…” Fearing it was just an illusion, Hua Shi looked to Hua Li for help. After receiving his affirmative look, her eyes immediately filled with tears.
"...That's it. If you have no questions, we can begin now."
When Lezhi explained the treatment principles, Huali's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. As soon as he finished speaking, Huali responded immediately.
"I'm fine, please start right away." They've been waiting for far too long.
Besides, so what if someone gets parasitized by a mushroom? Our aquatic friends have already set an example for everyone by taking the lead. If there were any problems, Miao Lin wouldn't have been so friendly when talking about Le Zhi.
Those who can sit in the position of clan leader are not fools, and Hua Li did not hesitate at all.
Apart from Hua Li, no one else present showed any unusual expression. Their reaction was much calmer than when the aquatic creatures first heard the news.
There's no time to ponder the reasons; treating the illness is the top priority right now.
With the patient's family's consent, Lezhi immediately began to work. The mushroom spun and grew in his hands, its spores silently spreading out. The dark aura in the room was so strong that he didn't need to guide it; the spores rushed towards the velvet flower.
When the victor appeared, sensing through the mushroom's body that the spores had successfully parasitized, Yuezhi's expression softened slightly. Now, he left it to time.
When Le Zhi made his move, everyone except Lei Xiu held their breath, afraid of interfering with his actions.
Seeing that Lezhi quickly stopped, but Hua Rong, who was moaning in pain on the bed, showed no change for the time being, Hua Li hesitated for a long time before finally stepping forward to ask.
"Lezhi, what's the situation now?"
"Parasitment is successful. Now we just need to wait for the spores to absorb all the shadows. Don't worry, these spores are specifically cultivated to counter the shadows. The flower will be fine, I guarantee it."
His words were like a shot in the arm, instantly turning the previously somewhat gloomy atmosphere into a lively one.
Hua Shi stood close to the clansmen who were looking after Hua Rong. They looked at each other and found that both of them had tears in their eyes, but they couldn't bring themselves to laugh at each other.
Distracted for a moment, she looked at Hua Rong again, not wanting to miss any changes in him.
Lezhi wasn't exaggerating; he had confidence in the mushroom, and the mushroom wouldn't let him down.
Before long, the black markings on Hua Rong's body began to change visibly. "Hua Shi, clan leader, am I seeing things? The black markings are fading..."
"I didn't see it wrong, I saw it too, it works, it really works, waaaaah, clan leader, Hua Rong is really going to be cured, isn't she... waaaah..."
Since being found, Hua Shi has accumulated far too much pressure. Although everyone says they don't blame him, how can they not?
How can I not be upset?!
If he could have stopped Hua Rong, if he could have notified the tribe in time, if he could have practiced properly and not been so bad, Hua Rong wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
If Hua Rong's illness is truly beyond saving, Hua Shi will blame herself for the rest of her life.
He is prepared to spend his life in repentance.
Under these circumstances, Lezhi's arrival not only saved Huarong, but also saved Huashi from despair.
The wailing, a mixture of laughter and tears, echoed in the room, but no one stepped forward to stop it.
Everyone let Hua Shi vent her emotions. They all knew that after crying this time, the shadow would completely dissipate and would never again bury their hearts.
…………
"Ugh, Hanashi, you're so noisy..."
The others had no problem with Hua Shi's wailing, but they successfully woke Hua Rong from her daze.
The oppressive heaviness on her body slowly faded, but Hua Rong's memory remained stuck at the moment of the attack.
"Hua Rong, you're awake..."
The faint sound was not ignored. Although he was crying, Hua Shi still kept a close eye on Hua Rong. As soon as his lips moved, Hua Shi instinctively stopped all his movements and even hiccuped because he stopped so suddenly.
Even so, he was the fastest to react.
He rushed to the bedside, wanting to hold Hua Rong's hand, but was stopped in time by the tribesmen around him.
"No, I'm undergoing treatment, it's best not to disturb me." After saying that, fearing that he might overstep his bounds, the person turned his head and met a pair of pure white eyes.
Lezhi smiled and said, "It's okay. Touching him won't affect others. It's just that he might not be feeling well right now. It's best not to touch him if you can avoid it. You did the right thing."
"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Hua Shi quickly shrank back and moved away from Hua Rong, afraid that his approach would cause Hua Rong more pain, even though he looked much better than before.
"How long will Hua Rong's condition last?" Hua Li asked.
He remained remarkably composed throughout, suggesting he had seen much of the world. Lezhi had a good impression of him; he wasn't easily startled, acted steadily, and made her feel at ease, reminding her of Lezhong.
The thought of missing him had barely surfaced when Lezhi consciously suppressed it, blinked, and replied, "Soon, it will be almost over once the black markings on his body have faded."
"Oh, okay, that's certainly not slow." The speed at which the black markings faded was obvious to all, and a smile immediately appeared in Hua Li's eyes.
No one mentioned leaving. Healing the velvet was just the beginning. What they were witnessing was the history of the complete expulsion of the shadow.
Night fell as expected outside the window, and a bright moon hung on the branch. The moon was exceptionally round tonight, and even the evening breeze seemed gentle.
With mushrooms monitoring spores, Lezhi took the opportunity to drift off into thought. Surrounded by three members of the Youmeng Clan by his bedside, he didn't go forward. Instead, he turned around and went to the uniquely designed skylight, leaned against the table, looked up at the bright moon, and let his longing spread.
"Tweet~"
Seeing that Lezhi was free, the fluffy ball immediately flapped its wings and landed on Lezhi's shoulder after Leixiu approached Lezhi, resting its little head on Lezhi's chin.
The next second, it flapped its little wings and swatted away the water bubbles that tried to get close, its movements swift, accurate, and ruthless.
The two little ones' tattling voices rang in her mind at the same time, successfully pulling Lezhi out of her melancholy.
When faced with internal family conflicts, as a parent, his intervention could easily lead to bias. After a moment's thought, Lezhi decided to wait and see.
Seeing that Lezhi remained silent, the leaf beetles knew they had to solve the problem themselves. The water bubbles were sustained by Lezhi's energy and couldn't stray too far from him, so no matter how many times the fur ball knocked them away, the leaf beetles could bravely turn the tables and start over.
Finally, even the fluffy bird got annoyed, and the grumpy bird learned to pretend to be blind without being taught.
"Tired?"
"I'm alright. How about you? You just woke up not long ago. Are you still feeling unwell?"
Lei Xiu shook his head. When he was awake, they were on the back of the Jelly Frog, moving at high speed through the forest without stopping.
Lezhi is the one who should be feeling tired; he hasn't slept for days.
But the truth is, Lezhi doesn't feel tired at all. Before he could discuss his physical condition with Lei Xiu, the Youmeng Clan members suddenly became excited.
"Ah, Velvet, your forehead..."
"What happened to my forehead? Oh, I think I'm all better now! Quick, quick, let me go..."
"Chief, what do we do now...?"
