Chapter 160 [Finding a Home]

After the study committee member finished speaking, everyone in the group immediately calmed down. His reputation was established, but there would definitely be people who were jealous.

At this time, He Lin, the person everyone was discussing, appeared. He was in a very good mood.

@He Lin: A tall tree attracts the wind, there's no way around it. It's okay, I've experienced online blackmail before. Besides, I have you big guys protecting me, so what do I have to fear?

If He Lin was afraid of these things, he would not use this traffic strategy.

Yes, we can’t give up just because we are afraid of this or that. We have to fight against the enemy with our own strength and block the water with our own earth.

Hearing this, Jiang Lili remembered that after He Lin's role in a TV series became popular, several netizens who claimed to be his high school classmates immediately popped up online and posted some self-directed chat records, accusing He Lin of having a premature love relationship in high school and cheating on his girlfriend. With the addition of jealous colleagues adding fuel to the fire, He Lin was badly criticized for a while, and his agency handled the situation extremely poorly, which led to He Lin suffering from cyberbullying twice.

In the end, it was these real classmates who spoke out, and the classmates who were lawyers helped He Lin resort to legal weapons, and the storm finally subsided.

He Lin's mentality became stronger after this incident, but his personality also became more introverted.

For someone who had experienced being blacklisted by the entire network, this ancient public opinion was nothing more than a tickle to He Lin.

Some people are born to make a living by relying on traffic!

After chatting with classmates in the group about recent developments for a while, Jiang Lili touched her clothes and realized that she had done a lot.

The fire beside him made a crackling sound.

Xin Che made a fire in the cave, and she and Master Liao sat by the fire waiting to be dried.

Jiang Lili rubbed her hair with a towel: "The rain has been coming in fits and starts, but it's finally getting lighter now."

"Let's go see which areas of the mountain haven't been affected by the recent rainstorm!"

Now that we have found this gold mine, it is time to find a place to settle down nearby.

"Okay, now's a good time. Li Li, give me my Feng Shui compass."

When Master Liao was in Lianzhou, he bought a compass from a street stall and left it with Jiang Lili.

Jiang Lili took out a compass from her personal favorites and gave it to Master Liao, and then took out three umbrellas and rain boots.

When the three of them changed into their equipment and prepared to leave the cave, Xin Che shot a sharp gaze at the monkey that had been staying in the cave: "Wait, how about taking this monkey with you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lili turned her gaze towards the sharp-faced macaque in the cave. This monkey was quite sociable. Seeing that no one was bothering it, it found a corner closer to the campfire and began to lie down and sleep.

"That's right, this monkey is very picky about places. It won't live in a place that isn't comfortable for it."

Jiang Lili exclaimed: "Good idea!"

Master Liao always felt that Xin Che had been with Jiang Lili for a long time, and he had also acquired some of Jiang Lili's shrewdness in exposing others. The two of them were really becoming more and more alike.

"But this monkey is very naughty. Will he follow us obediently? Will he run away halfway?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lili took out a fishing rod from her backpack, and then hung a super-large imported peach, the best-selling one in Little Fat Grandpa's supermarket, on the rod.

Master Liao was skeptical: "Do you think it's a donkey? Can it really follow us obediently?"

Jiang Lili lifted the oilcloth covering her backpack and said, "One isn't enough. How about a whole basket?"

Just in case, Jiang Lili asked Xiaopang for a pet leash.

Afterwards, Jiang Lili used a boom to swing the peach in front of the monkey, and then slowly let out the line.

The pointed-faced kiwi smelled the fragrance of the peach, opened its eyes and was about to reach out to grab it, but Jiang Lili immediately swung the fishing rod and the peach returned to her hand.

She pointed to the basket of peaches on her back and said, "Want to eat some? If you want, come with us."

Liao Dabao was very proud at this time. He showed the pet leash in his hand and said, "Peach or this leash, choose one!"

The monkey obediently walked towards Jiang Lili, who was carrying a basket of peaches, and then clasped his hands together in a gesture of supplication. He was completely different from the arrogant and playful look he had the night they first entered the village. Jiang Lili was amused. "This guy has a great future. He's very flexible!"

"Dabao, why don't you give it a name? It will be your partner from now on, and you can put aside your hostility and become friends."

Master Liao curled his lips. This monkey really knows how to curry favor with people. As soon as it arrived, it hooked up with their supplier: "If it's so bad, why not just call it Lao Liu!"

"Hahaha!" Jiang Lili held up a small peach and called out to the pointed-faced macaque, "Old Six, Old Six!"

She once helped a friend take care of a newborn kitten. When she was preparing to feed the kitten, she held the cat food and called the kitten's name. Over time, the kitten knew that this was its name.

I don’t know if this trick will work on monkeys.

After Jiang Lili called the monkey, the pointed-faced macaque blinked and looked at her. Jiang Lili tossed the peach to the monkey: "Sixth Brother, catch it!"

The monkey took the small peach and quickly ate it until only the core was left. Jiang Lili and the others had already opened their umbrellas and walked out of the cave, and the monkey immediately followed them.

The sixth monkey followed them and even found a large leaf to cover his head to keep out the rain.

“If the caves in this rocky mountain weren’t going to be mined, it would be quite habitable.”

"Speaking of caves, let's first look for a bigger and more spacious cave. If that doesn't work, we can stay here temporarily, but it's a bit far from the village at the foot of the mountain."

It would be great if there was a large and spacious cave that could accommodate the mobile home.

This way, half the effort would be spent on building a protective wall, and the cave entrance could be directly protected. Moreover, some caves are well ventilated, warm in winter and cool in summer, just like they have their own air conditioners.

So the three men, the monkey, and an eagle used for aerial reconnaissance searched the entire mountain and found seven or eight caves of various sizes.

"No, it's too dark in here and the ventilation is not good!"

"This place is spacious, but why does it look like it has been inhabited by large animals?"

"This cave has bad feng shui. It's covered like a coffin."

"No, no, there seems to be something dirty in this cave. Look at this monkey. As soon as it entered the cave, it started squeaking and trying to escape."

…

The three of them searched for sunset from morning until sunset. During this time, they asked Liefeng to take a letter to Zhaoping Hou, saying that they were looking for a new base on the mountain and might stay overnight in the mountain, so their families should not worry.

Xin Che still had enough physical strength, but Jiang Lili and Liao Dabao were exhausted. In the end, they were almost dragged up and down the mountain by Xin Che, struggling for their lives.

The monkey wanted to escape, but Xin Che put a leash on it and it couldn't move at all.

Following the three people up and down, it had never been so tired in its monkey life. If it had known that snatching the little ones' things would get it into trouble, it would not have been so naughty.
