Chapter 528 Monkeys, Squirrels, and Hedgehogs

Meng Fei was shocked and quickly controlled the drone to fly quickly in the direction where the sound came from.

He himself was running forward with all his might.

At this time, the little monkey was lying on the ground, holding a spherical object covered with spikes in his hand.

The little monkey tried to shake off the thorn ball in his hand, but the thorns all had tiny barbs and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of it.

Soon the drone flew to the area where the little monkey was. From the drone's perspective, Meng Fei could clearly see what was in the little monkey's hand.

"Is this... a hedgehog???"

When Meng Fei saw this scene, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and his heart was finally at ease.

Seeing the little monkey wailing in pain, Meng Fei shouted through the drone speaker.

"Little monkey, don't worry. This thing won't endanger your life. Wait for me for a while. I'll be there soon."

Hearing Meng Fei's voice, the little monkey hurriedly looked around and finally saw a dark shadow vaguely in the air.

The little monkey murmured in a crying voice: "Mm mmm then hurry up, this thing hurts too much... wuwuwu~~~~"

Seeing that the little monkey was not in danger of life, Meng Fei took back the drone and concentrated on his journey.

But when Meng Fei was halfway there, another scream came from the direction of the little monkey.

It's the little squirrel's.

Then the little monkey's screams were heard.

The corners of Meng Fei's mouth twitched violently a few times, and he hurried on his way.

.................

Five minutes ago.

The little monkey was sitting on the ground, looking at the little hedgehog in his hands with tears in his eyes.

At this time, the little squirrel heard the little monkey's screams and rushed over.

When the little squirrel saw what the little monkey was holding, he immediately became excited. He jumped down from the tree, came to the little monkey, and looked at the little hedgehog curiously.

"Little monkey, what is that in your hand? It looks interesting. Let me see it."

When the little monkey saw that the little squirrel didn't care about him at first, but was curious about what in his hand, he gave the little squirrel a cold look.

"No! I'm telling you, don't touch it! If you do, I'll be mad at you!"

"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you still angry? Humph! You stingy guy! I won't play with you anymore! I won't let you eat my pine nuts either!!"

The little squirrel also became arrogant. It turned its back to the little monkey, but its eyes were still on the little hedgehog in its hand.

Seeing that the little squirrel ignored him, the little monkey didn't want to pay attention to it either. He tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and endured the pain in his hand.

At this moment, the little squirrel's eyes lit up, and he exerted force with his two hind legs and grabbed the hedgehog in the little monkey's hand.

"Take it, you!!"

However, just when it thought it had victory.

A piercing pain swept over the little squirrel, and it howled miserably and subconsciously pulled its hand back.

But the thorn was stuck in its hand tightly, and it pulled it hard. The little monkey on the other side grimaced in pain and pulled back as well.

Little monkey: "Ah!! What are you doing!!"

Little Squirrel: "Ah! I just want to see...Ah!! Why is this thing so prickly!!"

Little monkey: "Ahh! I told you I wouldn't give it to you, why are you so ungrateful!"

Little squirrel: "Ahhhhh!! Pull gently, don't move! Don't move!! It hurts, it hurts!"

Little monkey: “Ah…”

Little squirrel: "Ah..."

For a while, the wailing sounds of monkeys and rats could be heard in the forest.

After a while, Meng Fei finally arrived at the crime scene, panting from exhaustion.

When he saw the horrific scene at the crime scene, Meng Fei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Pfft~~~Hahahahahaha, you...how come both of you were stabbed...just now it was just the little monkey himself~~~Haha"

The little monkey rolled his eyes at the little squirrel and said angrily, "Humph! I told him not to touch it! But he insisted on touching it! Now you see, we are all stabbed! Humph!"

Meng Fei walked over to them with a somewhat amused look on his face, ready to check and see how to separate them.

At this time, between the two of them was a little hedgehog that had already hibernated.

The thorns on the little hedgehog were piercing their hands tightly.

"Don't move, I'll see how to help you get it down."

But after fiddling with it for a long time, Meng Fei still couldn't get the little hedgehog out of their hands.

Hedgehogs in the Northeast have a special characteristic: they are no different from normal hedgehogs in spring, summer and autumn, but when they hibernate in winter, the spines on their backs will naturally form a barb that tightly hooks onto the flesh of the invader.

There is nothing we can do unless we wait for the little hedgehog to wake up on his own.

Meng Fei remembered that when he was a child, his second uncle went up the mountain to chop firewood one winter and was accidentally pricked by a hedgehog on his hand. Later, he had no choice but to take the little hedgehog home with great pain.

Feeling the comfortable temperature in the house, the little hedgehog woke up after a while, and the barbs on its spines gradually disappeared.

The second uncle was finally able to escape from the predicament. Later, the little hedgehog stayed in the second uncle's kitchen for a whole winter and left only in the spring.

Given the current situation of the little monkeys, it is obviously not feasible to take them home to be picked. If they go back, it will take at least two or three hours, and they will both be in great pain by then.

In this situation now, there is no other way except to pull it out by force.

But if you pull it out forcefully, not to mention whether the little monkey and the little squirrel will feel pain, the little hedgehog will probably not survive this winter without the protection and warmth of its sharp spines.

Thinking of this, Meng Fei hesitated.

At this moment, Meng Fei's eyes suddenly lit up. He drew out the short blade from his waist, aimed it at the top of the spike and lightly scratched it. The spike instantly broke into two pieces.

Seeing that it was feasible, Meng Fei was delighted. He swung his sword a dozen times and cut off all the spikes.

The little monkey and the little squirrel felt relieved after being freed from their restraints and quickly stretched their sore shoulders.

But now the hand has come down, but the spikes are still in the palm.

"Don't move, both of you. I'll help you pull out the spikes. It might hurt a little, so bear with it!"

As he spoke, Meng Fei took out the key chain, clamped the end of the spike with the nail clippers on it, and then bent it downward along the shape of the barb, and the barb was pulled out directly.

The little monkey gritted his teeth, making a crunching sound.

"Hold on a little longer, it will be fine soon."

Although he said this, his hands did not stop moving. With the experience of removing thorns the first time, Meng Fei was much more adept at it. It didn't take long before he had removed all the thorns from the little squirrel and the little monkey's hands.

The little monkey moved his swollen and painful palms, looked at the little hedgehog on the ground viciously, and wanted to kick it.

But as soon as he raised his foot, he pulled it back, fearing that he would get pricked again.

At this time, his eyes fell on a wooden stick beside him and he bent down to pick it up.

Then he raised the stick high, and like a golfer, swung it at the little hedgehog.

“Bang!”

Speed! Power! Accuracy! Everything is just right!

But the angle is a little off......
