"Who cares? As long as he doesn't hurt anyone, no matter how smart he is, he won't get in our way."
"Brother Lei, have these monkeys been here all year round?" Ningxia asked the question in her mind. After all, she had met them in Xuanwuzhou before.
Lei Lao Hu shook his head. "No, I used to come here, but not often. I'd only occasionally hear about it from the brothers at other outposts. They've never been to our lakeside area."
But after the scorching sun month this year, they started to appear more numerous. They even came to our area. I guess they were migrating here, or just passing through."
Ningxia nodded. She was a little looking forward to meeting this group of monkeys. After all, it was such a surprising first encounter, and she really wanted to know how clever these guys were.
After dinner, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's already this late, why don't you stay here and stay the night with me."
Li Gang looked at Ningxia and said, "You decide. If you want to leave, we'll leave. If you want to stay, we can leave tomorrow morning."
Ningxia looked at Sangsang and Lao Liao, who had slumped over from eating too much, and couldn't help laughing. "Squad leader, let's stay here with Brother Lei for a night before we leave."
It just so happened that she also wanted to see what this new wall material was like to live in.
Knowing that they would not leave at night, Lin Yi took Maomao, who was tied in the yard, out to eat fresh grass. He was reluctant to keep it tied up all the time, and Sangsang couldn't sit still, so he followed him.
"Brother! Look!" Sangsang curled up beside Lin Yi and Maomao, pointing at several figures by the lake.
Lin Yi followed Sangsang's gaze and found that the group of monkeys that Uncle Liao and the others had mentioned had not left yet.
"Look, brother! It's a man-beating monkey with long gray hair!"
Lin Yi saw the monkey that Sangsang mentioned at a glance. It was indeed the one he had encountered before. Not only that, the monkey that Sister Xia Xia had bandaged was also there.
There was no way, the old monkey was the only one with long hair, and the hair on the bandaged young monkey's arm that Sister Xia Xia had cut was still bald, a large patch, and the feature was so obvious that he recognized it at a glance.
Lin Yi felt a little disappointed when he didn't see the naughty little monkey. He thought of the sweet peach, which was the sweetest fruit he had ever eaten.
"Brother, are you looking for the little monkey too?" Seeing Lin Yi looking around, Sangsang asked.
Lin Yi retracted his gaze and tightened the rope in his hand, "Let's go, stay away from them." Without an adult around, if the group of monkeys suddenly attacked, he and Sangsang would not be able to withstand it.
Sangsang nodded and looked away reluctantly.
The group of monkeys were busy trying to catch fish and didn't pay any attention to the two siblings.
The brother and sister slowly retreated and took Maomao to the woods near the sentry post to let it eat grass.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!" A small, clear voice rang out.
When the brother and sister turned around, they saw a thin, furry figure peeking out from behind a huge pine tree.
Round eyes and round head, "Brother! It's a little monkey!"
Sangsang exclaimed in surprise, and Lin Yi also smiled happily. They really met again.
The two sides were in a stalemate, neither of them took the initiative to move, and they just looked at each other silently.
Until the little monkey opposite could no longer hold back, and tiptoed forward tentatively, shaking his head and looking back as he walked, and kept whimpering softly in his mouth.
It was not until it came up to the two of them, took the corner of Lin Yi's clothes and skillfully unstitched the stitches that Lin Yi finally confirmed that it was it!
The two people and the monkey didn't communicate, just standing there silently. Sangsang looked at it for a long time, unable to hide the curiosity in her eyes. She held her breath, stretched out her small hand and gently placed it on the other's head.
For a moment, the brother and sister's breathing was barely audible. It wasn't until the little monkey looked up, glanced at Sangsang in bewilderment, and then lowered his head to tug at the thread on Lin Yi's clothes, showing no sign of resistance, that the brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief.
The relationship between the three seemed to ease again because of Sangsang's initiative, and Sangsang became more and more presumptuous in touching them.
Finally, he put both hands on it and gently but immorally touched the short fur on the little monkey's head, making it stand up in clumps and fall down in patches. The whole monkey looked extremely funny.
"Hehe, so cute!" Sangsang smiled happily as he looked at the messy work of his hands.
Lin Yi glanced at her, took her hand away, and reached out to gently straighten the little monkey's fur.
Sangsang wasn't angry either. She squatted down and took the little monkey's paw. "What's your name? I was a little scared of you last time and forgot to ask. You're not called Little Monkey, are you?"
"Woo~Woo~"
"Brother, let's give the little monkey a name!"
"what ever."
"Well...then you can call me Monkey Xiaopeng! Is that okay? Monkey Xiaopeng! Xiaopeng Xiaopeng!"
The little monkey seemed to know that he was being called, and he pouted his lips and responded politely a few times.
Lin Yi was about to say something when a dozen monkeys rushed out of the forest.
Lin Yi quickly pulled Sangsang behind him.
Sangsang was also frightened by this scene, but he still did not let go of Monkey Xiaopeng's claws and continued to hold them tightly.
An old, hairy monkey came out. The look in his round eyes was no longer as indifferent as before, but full of vigilance. The murderous intent in his eyes dissipated a little after he saw that the other party was two human cubs.
The young monkey whose arm was injured stepped forward and pulled Monkey Xiaopeng.
It was still bright outside. When two monkeys, one big and one small, stood together, Lin Yi realized how similar the two monkeys were. Their fur and eyes were exactly the same, and the way they folded their hands in front of their chests was also exactly the same.
"Monkey Little Friend, do you have a brother too? Then your brother can be called Monkey Little Friend, okay? Hello, Monkey Little Friend."
The little monkey didn't give any face at all. He didn't even look at Sangsang, threw the little monkey who was making a lot of noise onto his back, and walked towards the old monkey.
"Monkey friend! Monkey friend!"
Sangsang raised her legs to chase after him, but Lin Yi grabbed her and stopped her from going forward.
Monkey Xiaopeng kept whimpering and was thrown to the ground by the old hairy monkey. The little monkey squeaked miserably and was unable to stand up for a while.
Sangsang was furious. "Bad monkey! Bullying Xiaopeng! Bad monkey! Bad monkey!"
Ignoring Sangsang's shouting, the long-haired old monkey led the monkey group to retreat again. Monkey Little You stepped forward and threw Monkey Little Peng on his back again, climbed up the tree branch and swung away.
Lin Yi touched the hem of his clothes that had been torn, "Let's go, it's time to go back."
Sangsang uttered a low "oh" and followed Lin Yi back to the sentry post.
The little episode passed quietly, and the next morning, everyone packed their bags and prepared to set off.
"How's it going, Ningxia? This house is nice to live in, right?"
Ningxia packed her luggage and nodded repeatedly, "That's great."
Lei Lao Hu chuckled, "It's much more comfortable than living in the military camp. It's just that the temperature is good now, so the feeling isn't obvious yet. Come back in a couple of days when it gets colder. It's much warmer inside than outside."
Ningxia became more and more excited and motivated. She must save money and buy an area of ten to twenty square meters of new wall materials, so that the three siblings would have a much better time during the cold months.
