Chapter 146 [Argument]

Everyone admired Liao Dabao for holding back his emotions at an age when he couldn't even hold his urine, but they didn't expect that Liao Dabao cried the most in the end. He was also hit twice by the monkey for stealing his food. It was really miserable for a one and a half year old child!

"Oh my god!"

When Jiang Lili saw the huge slap mark on Master Liao’s face, she quickly ran over to check on Liao Ji’s injury. What if Master Liao’s clever little brain was broken?

@Jiang Lili: Is there an ice pack in your refrigerator? Master Liao got slapped by a monkey! @Zhang Xiaopang

@周居善 (Grand Chamberlain): Is there such a strange thing?! Is there a video?

@Hou Xiaoxiao: Eunuch Zhou, please be a human being. Master Liao Sha is only a year and a half old. His ability to withstand injuries is not like that of a thick-skinned adult like you!

Originally, everyone was tempted by the conditions proposed by Uncle Zhou from Yeli Village, but now they dare not move. If they are harassed by these beasts every day, how can they live?

"The monkeys here are too fierce! They even steal people's things. They are no different from robbers, and they are even more agile than robbers."

"And they're moving in groups. It's really scary. This village is really uninhabitable!"

......

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Uncle Zhou apologized to Liao Dabao in a humble manner. He was anxious when he heard that everyone's impression of Yeli Village had taken a sharp turn for the worse. He also knew that the conditions in their village were not a bit worse than those in Jinyu Village, but what they could provide was definitely more practical than what the people in Jinyu Village could provide.

"That's right. And let me tell you, it's not just monkeys that are eating your millet crops. The millet you're drying will also be eaten by ferocious birds."

The head of a nearby fishing village, eager to watch the fun, added fuel to the fire: "What's even more dangerous is that there's a serious criminal exiled by the government living in the back hills!"

Uncle Zhou retorted, "Those serious criminals are locked up in the mountains, left to fend for themselves. Besides, they're still seven or eight miles away from us. If you calculate that way, they're not far from your nearest fishing village!"

The head of Jinyu Village grumbled, "So what? We have a lot of young people in Jinyu Village. We are strong and can protect you old folks. You might even hurt your backs before you even start!"

Uncle Zhou was choked by the words of the village chief of Jinyu Village. Seeing the village chief becoming more and more proud, he pursed his lips, feeling bitter.

Originally, there was only one village, Yeli Village, on the south bank, and the land in the village was not just this much. Sigh...

"My dear friend, I will go get some herbs for you to apply."

Uncle Zhou was about to go home to get medicine when Jiang Lili stopped him: "Uncle, no need, I brought medicine here."

Jiang Lili took out an ice pack from her backpack and put it on Master Liao's face. What a sin! Master Liao must have never suffered such injustice in his previous life!

The coolness of the ice pack reduced the pain on Master Liao's face. Master Liao also calmed down and his crying gradually became softer.

Other villagers from Yeli Village had already rushed over with harpoons, hoes and rakes, but the monkeys ran very fast and they were gone by the time Jiang Lili arrived. At a glance, many of them were elderly uncles and aunts.

The villagers looked at Yin Zhen and Liao Dabao with apologies on their faces: "We are so sorry. If we had known you were coming, we would have sent villagers to Cangsha Ferry to pick you up and bring you to the village."

Li Zhan, the village chief of Yeli Village, is a big man who looks less than 30 years old. He is also one of the few young people left in the village.

After discussing with the villagers for a while, he spoke to Yin Zhen and Liao Dabao in broken Mandarin, saying, "How about this? To express our apology, you two will live in the best house in our village, in the guest room of the village ancestral hall, with food and lodging provided."

"If you don't want to live in our village, you can also come to our village. People can also bring food to the nearby fishing village for you to eat."

Uncle Zhou also whispered to Yin Zhen and her son, "We will help you find a good house in a nearby fishing village and negotiate a price."

The villagers of Yeli Village looked at Yin Zhen and her son with sincere eyes, and took out the best things the village could provide, just hoping to gain their understanding.

Yin Zhen was very angry when her child was attacked by monkeys in Yeli Village.

However, seeing the villagers' sincere and humble attitude, her resentment towards Yeli Village and its villagers subsided a little. After all, it was the monkeys who beat the people, not the villagers.

Moreover, the conditions proposed by the villagers were very attractive.

However, no matter how good the conditions they offered, Yin Zhen's first thought was to ask Liao Dabao for his opinion. The shadow cast by the first night here was too great for Dabao. "Dabao, do you want to live in Yeli Village?"

"If you were afraid, we wouldn't be living here."

Master Liao's eyes were red at this time, and he had regained his original adult appearance. He even spoke with a hint of tears in his voice: "I'm not afraid, we will live here!"

Liao Dabao's words surprised many people. Yin Zhen was also stunned. She didn't expect the child to make a choice so quickly: "Dabao, there's no need to save money."

Jiang Lili also thought that Master Liao wanted to reduce Yin Zhen's burden, and reminded him that he had enough money, and that Master Liao's share of the previous locust plague control was still in her custody.

Master Liao said firmly, "I'm going to live in Yeli Village. I'm going to stay here and keep a close eye on those stinky monkeys!"

"I'm going to slap these two back!"

Even if he can't beat them now, when he grows up, he will pin these monkeys to the ground and let them know who is the king of this mountain!

"Hiss--" Master Liao was too excited when he spoke, and the slap mark on his face was pulled again, causing pain.

"Great, you've got guts!" Marquis Zhaoping admired the one-and-a-half-year-old child for speaking such ambitious words. "This child has the makings of a great general. He's bound to become a great man in the future!"

When Master Liao heard the praise from Marquis Zhaoping, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, but then he immediately calmed down.

"Then, shall we live in Yeli Village too?"

Jiang Lili discussed with other people in Zhaoping Marquis Mansion. The villagers' attitude towards Liao Dabao just now made her see the sincerity of the villagers of Yeli Village.

Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone showed concern for Liao Dabao. Some went to get medicine, some inquired about his injuries, and some patrolled the area, reminding the other children to stand together and be careful...

The people of Yeli Village did not stand idly by just because the child was a stranger.

If it was all fake, it would be outrageous if everyone in the village could express this attitude at the same time.

Everyone in Zhaoping Marquis Mansion was on the same page as Jiang Lili. Jiang Lili then asked Wen Xiaomei, "Little sister, are you afraid?"

Wen Xiaomei shook her head and asked only one question that interested her most: "Sister, I see you can train eagles, so can these monkeys be trained?"
