Chapter 117 List of Rewards
"Uncle Leshan, why don't we go inside and talk?" Having roughly guessed what Leshan was about to say, Lezhi quickly reached out and invited Leshan into the house.
This time, Leshan did not refuse. He sat down on the bench in the living room and looked at Lezhi and Leixiu, who were also sitting down, as well as Maoqiu with its beady eyes. Leshan pondered for a moment and then said directly, "Lezhi, after you left today, the Windwalker Clan has already compiled a list of all the clansmen infected with the Shadow Disease."
As expected, Lezhi sat up straight and nodded, indicating that she was listening.
Looking at Lezhi's obedient appearance, Leshan's heart softened, and he continued in one breath, "The number is more than we imagined. The entire hunting tournament plus the pre-tournament trade fair only lasts for a month, but the number of people who have fallen ill is nearly one hundred. However, the good thing is that not many of them are seriously ill."
After observing Lezhi's expression and glancing at Leixiu out of the corner of his eye, Leshan continued, "So after discussion, we've decided to stick to the previous method, prioritizing by severity. Initially, we'll have one or two children per day, and then, depending on your condition, we'll increase the number as needed. See if you have any problems."
"It sounds like there shouldn't be any problems, but I'd like to ask, how serious can their most critically ill patients be? Will they be as bad as Lei Xiu was before?"
Because Lei Xiu's appearance was truly terrifying before, Le Zhi wanted to be mentally prepared, so after thinking about it, she decided to ask one more question.
“No, that won’t happen.” Hearing that Le Zhi was actually using Lei Xiu as an analogy, Le Shan shook his head with a laugh. “Lei Xiu’s case is a special case. The most serious cases among the others are only slightly more serious than Le Zhong’s before.”
"Oh, I understand." If it was someone like Uncle Le Zhong, then Le Zhi felt more confident. After assessing her recent physical condition, Le Zhi nodded in response, "Then I have no problem with this arrangement. If there are any problems, I will request adjustments based on the situation."
"Well, if you have any problems, just let me know. Don't force yourself, okay?" Le Shan wanted to remind Le Zhi of this. Although absorbing the shadows would benefit Le Zhi's talent, it was the first time, and no one knew what unpredictable consequences might occur. Now that the clan leader was not around, they had to be careful with any decisions they made.
"Don't worry, I know." Sensing the worry in Leshan's voice, Lezhi smiled and comforted him, "No matter what, I won't lose out. We got such a good booth at the trade fair, perhaps because the Windwalker Clan and the Longtail Clan made some concessions."
"I knew you'd guess it. This time they've shown sincerity, so don't worry about it. It's not a big deal." With a wave of his hand, Le Shan suppressed his worries and spoke in a relaxed tone, afraid that Le Zhi would feel unworthy of the favor.
They were certain they had received special treatment this time, but Lezhi had earned it through her own abilities, so she didn't feel guilty. The only concern was, "Won't the others have any objections?"
Raising an eyebrow, Leshan was surprised that Lezhi had thought of this in advance. "Don't worry, once you start treating the Windwalker Clan, the news won't be able to be kept secret anymore. At that time, no matter what the problem is, it won't be a problem."
After all, Lezhi is the only one who can cure the Shadow Disease right now. Anyone with a brain should know that Lezhi deserves whatever treatment he receives.
"By the way, the gifts Qinglin and Yuyan prepared will be delivered one after another. Just accept them. Also, regarding the payment for the treatment, think about what you want and set a standard. If needed, I can help you negotiate." This was another purpose of Leshan's trip, as he was afraid that Lezhi would suffer losses.
"Don't worry, I've discussed this with Zhizhi and I will talk to Qinglin directly about it." Lei Xiu, who had been sitting to the side playing the role of a statue, finally heard what he could do and immediately chimed in.
"Alright, it would be best if you were willing to lend a hand. Just let me know if you need any help." With Lei Xiu around, Le Shan felt much more at ease. Don't let Lei Xiu's high martial arts skills fool you; he's quite cunning too. Qing Lin is no match for Lei Xiu. For both personal and practical reasons, Lei Xiu wouldn't let Le Zhi suffer any losses.
"Alright, that's all for now. I'll be leaving now. The treatment is scheduled for tomorrow evening, so it won't interfere with your stall. If you want to make any adjustments, just let us know, and we'll arrange for the first person to come and pick you up tomorrow."
"okay, I get it."
After watching Leshan leave, Lezhi closed the door and pulled Leixiu back to the living room.
"When Uncle Leshan mentioned the reward, I realized I haven't seen the gift Qinglin gave me yet." Excitedly, Lezhi pulled the exquisitely crafted wooden box out of a corner of her space, her eyes filled with anticipation for opening the gift.
Lei Xiu sat down with Le Zhi and watched as Le Zhi successfully found the switch hidden in the exquisite pattern and opened the wooden box.
"Wow, this is..." Lezhi looked at Lei Xiu in surprise, doubting that she was seeing things.
“Mother Tree Sap.” Lei Xiu nodded affirmatively. He hadn’t expected Qing Lin to think of this as well. He probably brought out half of the clan’s stockpiled supplies as a gift for Le Zhi. “Take it. If you feel unwell later, just take it out and use it.”
"So much, isn't it too precious?" Lezhi was a little uneasy. After all, in his understanding, the sap of the mother tree was used by the tree spirits to save lives, and each clan had a limited share. He hadn't done anything, and he was receiving such a large gift for nothing. Lezhi felt a little guilty.
"No, given your physical condition, you could have applied for a larger share of the Mother Tree's sap. If you really don't like it, you can return the favor when your special share comes through." Lei Xiu patted Le Zhi's hand reassuringly and offered his suggestion.
Now that Lezhi's health is failing, he won't be able to wait until the next application for the mother tree's sap. If Qinglin is willing to give it to him, Lei Xiucheng will be grateful for this favor.
“Alright.” Lei Xiu’s suggestion was indeed a good idea. He wasn’t very clear about the distribution mechanism of the mother tree’s sap, so he decided to follow someone with experience.
“In that case, I shouldn’t ask for too much in return for treating the Shadow Disease, or I’ll feel bad.” Lezhi puffed out his cheeks and put the wooden box back to its original state. “Right now, what I want are some novel plants. How about I ask them to give me some Hard Powder Fruit and Sichuan Pepper Fruit in exchange? Oh, and Golden Silk Vine too.”
“We can exchange some things, but how much can you eat by yourself?” Lei Xiu stroked Lezhi’s head and finally noticed some childishness in the precocious Lezhi. “We can also exchange for some things that can be stored, such as gold and fluorite that won’t spoil, and cloth. If all else fails, you can exchange for weapons.”
"Hey, can I change my weapon?" Lezhi suddenly asked excitedly.
"You can't do it without training." Shattering Lezhi's illusion, Lei Xiu looked at Lezhi, who suddenly seemed deflated, and continued with a smile, "However, you can prepare in advance. The Windwalker Clan's commonly used weapon is the bow and arrow, and the craftsmanship is quite good. You can make a set that is suitable for you now, and then as your body grows, you can order several sets to be custom-made for you."
"Bows and arrows, that sounds really cool." Lezhi nodded. If combined with the Windwalker Clan's incredible flying speed, using bows and arrows for ranged attacks was indeed suitable. It was understandable why they loved using bows and arrows.
Since Lei Xiu had already said so, Le Zhi didn't hesitate and added the bow and arrow to the reward list. The thought of soon having his own weapon made Le Zhi eager to grow up, and he even became less resistant to the necessary training.
