The group listened intently and realized the sound was coming from the tree.

Luo Yonggang cocked his gun, fully alert, pointing it at the source of the sound. He needed to ensure the safety of the group in case any dangerous wild animals came out.

Soon, a golden glint appeared from the branches—it was a baby golden monkey!

The golden monkey leaped swiftly between the branches, and behind it, a blur followed like lightning!

The golden monkey was bitten on the hind leg. It let out a miserable cry and pounced on Li Xiangdong and his group!

The lightning-fast afterimage quickly caught up.

Li Xiangdong has good eyesight; he could tell it was a golden cat as soon as he got closer!

The golden cat is a robust, medium-sized feline with a large head, strong limbs, and a fierce temperament.

Although it is called a cat, it is actually more like a smaller version of a tiger or leopard. It is a Class I protected wild animal in China and a natural enemy of the golden snub-nosed monkey.

Seeing the golden cat's sharp claws, Luo Yonggang dared not be careless. He pulled the trigger, and a bullet quickly struck the golden cat, shooting straight into the ground.

Sensing the danger posed by humans, the golden cat meowed and quickly turned and ran into the dense forest.

The pitiful little golden monkey hid behind Luo Hongkai, its two little paws still tightly gripping Luo Hongkai's cotton pants.

It has a coat of soft, golden fur, a blue and white face, an upturned nose, and a long, fluffy tail that wags back and forth, making it look exceptionally cute.

However, his leg was bitten by the golden cat, and the blood stained his golden fur.

Upon closer inspection, the little golden monkey's injured leg was still trembling slightly.

As was Luo Hongkai's long-standing habit, he always carried various medicines when going up the mountain, with wound medicine being an essential part of it.

Li Xiangdong said softly to the little golden monkey, "We're going to treat your wounds. It might hurt a little, so please don't scratch or bite us!"

This is a wild animal, and who knows what germs it might be carrying? If it bites you, it's no joke.

The little golden monkey seemed to understand Li Xiangdong's words. It released its grip on Luo Hongkai and limped over to Li Xiangdong.

Li Xiangdong couldn't help but chuckle at the way it walked. How could it walk in the same way as Sun Wukong in the TV series "Journey to the West"?

It seems that art truly does come from life!

Luo Hongkai took out some wound medicine from his bag, gently applied it to the little golden monkey's wound, and then tore off a piece of white cloth to wrap the wound tightly.

Throughout the process, the little golden monkey, despite groaning in pain, did not go berserk and attack people.

Thinking about the mischievous monkeys of Mount Emei, who had once ambushed Li Xiangdong, he found the little golden monkeys even more adorable.

Luo Yonggang took a steamed bun out of his pocket and handed it to the little golden monkey. It took it with both hands, sat on the ground, and ate it slowly and carefully, bite by bite.

Uncle An laughed, "This thing really does look like a person!"

That's right, isn't it said that humans evolved from monkeys?

However, some people may have been transformed from golden monkeys, while others may have been transformed from those annoying monkeys from Mount Emei.

A short while later, a cry of "woo-woo-woo" suddenly rang out from the forest.

The call was urgent and agitated. Upon hearing it, the little golden monkey stopped eating its steamed bun and limped towards the forest.

Sure enough, a moment later two large golden monkeys responded. They watched Li Xiangdong and his group warily, then quickly scooped up the baby golden monkey, hung it on their bellies, and disappeared in a few leaps.

"That monkey is so rude! We rescued its baby, and it's treating us like enemies."

Uncle An's commentary.

Li Xiangdong asked, "Uncle An, have you ever seen the monkeys on Mount Emei?"

This will ensure you have a clear and accurate understanding of the importance of being polite to monkeys.

Li Xiangdong told them about the various despicable things the monkeys on Mount Emei did, and Luo Hongkai and the others laughed so hard they almost fell over. They never expected that he would know so much about the monkeys on Mount Emei, since he wasn't from western Sichuan.

Just as the group was about to descend the mountain, the two golden monkeys from before suddenly reappeared. They carried two bunches of grapes, walked up to Li Xiangdong like Sun Wukong, put them down, made a few "woo-woo-woo" sounds, and then turned and left.

Where did these grapes come from this season?

Li Xiangdong picked up the two bunches of grapes. They were purplish-red, with small, slightly wrinkled grapes.

"These are wild grapes. Despite the autumn frost and winter snow, they haven't been pecked by birds or rotted."

Luo Yonggang plucked a grape and popped it into his mouth. "Sour—"

"This is a thank-you gift from the golden monkeys!"

"Golden monkeys are so cute, and they even know how to repay kindness. They're a million times better than the monkeys on Mount Emei!"

The monkeys of Mount Emei never imagined that they would be subjected to malicious smears by anti-fans in the pre-internet era.

...

Time flies, and the Li family is about to return to Huichuan. Liu Jiangsu and Luo Hongkai are busy bringing them gifts.

"This cured meat and cured pheasant are for Xiao Yingzi. These three wolf skins are ready to be tanned. Take them back to A Ke, A Ying, and Doctor Gu. They can sleep on the wolf skin rugs, and their old leg pain will definitely be gone."

Liu Jiangsu was distributing gifts to her daughter.

"Grandma, do you still have any dried wolf meat? I want to take some with me. All my classmates at school love it!"

Li Jiabao's fans made their demands without hesitation.

"Of course we have one. We'll have your grandpa bring you a hundred pounds."

Liu Jiangsu is wealthy and generous; she had her husband fill sacks with dried wolf meat for her young grandson.

Since the last wolf-hunting team was dispatched, the wolves in the nearby mountains have been almost wiped out. The few that survived have all hidden deep in the mountains and dare not show their faces again.

Therefore, the Luo family now has no shortage of wolf meat and wolf skins.

Li Xiangdong secretly asked his grandfather for two things: wolf penis and wolf bone, which he then soaked in corn liquor.

These two are excellent ingredients. Wolf penis nourishes the kidneys and strengthens virility, replenishes qi and blood, invigorates the spleen and stomach, and has anti-aging properties. Wolf bone strengthens muscles and bones, dispels wind and dampness, and invigorates the waist and kidneys.

Wolf bone, when combined with herbs such as Dipsacus asper, Drynaria fortunei, and Eupolyphaga sinensis, is an effective remedy for fractures.

Although it can't compare to the medicinal effects of tiger bone and tiger penis, it's still wild, so the effects are about the same.

After all, tigers are now nationally protected animals, and you can't just kill one or two of them and take their bones!

Others might not recognize wolf bones and wolf whips, but Li Jin did, and he assumed his son had asked for them on his behalf.

It's amazing that this young man noticed I was too embarrassed to ask my father-in-law for help, and he was so considerate.

Throughout the journey, he was exceptionally kind and approachable to Li Xiangdong, even softening his voice considerably.

Li Jiabao often muttered to himself that his father seemed to be possessed by some kind of monster. He had plenty of evidence: his father didn't always speak so gently.

Of course, when Li Jin later learned that the wolf bones and wolf whip were intended by Li Xiangdong for Professor Liu Minle, he finally became the father that Li Jiabao knew.
