Chapter 125 A Monkey with a Sense of Justice (Two Updates in One)
Huo Miao's voice was so loud that not only Mu Mingxuan and the others heard it, but even the little naughty boy who was having fun in the forest heard it.
It paused, poked its head out curiously, changed its original route, and approached Huo Miao tentatively.
At this time, Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan heard the noise and ran over: "Where?"
Mu Mingxuan: "Miaomiao, is it a rabbit or a chicken?"
Although both of these are difficult to catch, what if you catch them?
"There, it hid behind the tree as soon as I called it." Huo Miao raised her hand and pointed to the left front: "It's too far away, I couldn't see clearly what it was."
"Hide behind the tree?" Huo Ziheng felt strange. He and Mu Mingxuan looked in the direction Huo Miao pointed, and happened to see a little yellow-haired monkey nimbly climbing up the tree, and then moving flexibly in the forest. Looking at the direction it was heading, it was actually running towards them.
Mu Mingxuan was silent for a moment: "Miaomiao, the prey you are talking about, could it be that monkey?"
"monkey?"
How is it possible? How could what she just saw be a monkey! Huo Miao opened her eyes wide, looking at the little monkey that kept running towards them. She wanted to shake her head to deny it, but suddenly noticed that the color of the little monkey seemed to be the same as the prey she just saw.
Huo Miao: “…”
Huo Miao didn't say anything, but Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng could tell something from her expression.
"What's wrong? Why are you standing here without moving? Where is the prey?" Jian Tiantian, who was a few steps behind, ran over breathlessly.
"Miao Miao is dazzled. There is no prey, it's just a little monkey." Huo Ziheng said.
"Ah?" Jian Tiantian was slightly stunned. When she raised her eyes, she saw the little monkey getting closer and closer to them.
Huo Miao stared at the little monkey running towards them, feeling a little embarrassed.
She had just been disgusted with the wild vegetables that Jian Tiantian had found, but now she was dazzled by the prey she had finally found! "What the hell! I'm so happy for nothing!" Huo Miao angrily picked up a stone and threw it at the wild monkey.
Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan next to them tried to stop them, but it was too late.
[!!! Is Huo Miao sick? She is just being dazzled, what does that have to do with the monkey?] [Hahahaha, she actually threw a stone at the monkey, does she know what kind of monkey it is?] [6, run away, or you will be in trouble] Huo Miao threw the stone casually, and the little monkey passed by.
The little monkey, who had been running over curiously, stopped and looked back at the stone on the ground that almost hit it.
After realizing that this was an act of aggression directed toward it by a stranger, the little monkey's eyes suddenly changed.
It bared its teeth at Huo Miao and the others, then jumped around in place with its two short hands raised, looking very ferocious.
"Such a little monkey actually dares to provoke us." Huo Miao snorted, "It's a pity that it's not a little wild boar or a little rabbit. At least we can eat it after catching it."
Mu Mingxuan stared at the little monkey who looked furious, frowned, and said uncertainly: "It looks like..."
Before he could finish his words, the little monkey suddenly jumped high, grabbed the vines in the air with its little hands, and suddenly attacked the few people! It jumped directly onto Huo Miao's shoulder and scratched her head for a while.
Huo Miao was so frightened that she screamed, and Mu Mingxuan and the others were also shocked.
Jian Tiantian ran to the side quickly, but Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng immediately reached out to grab the monkey after they realized what was happening.
But the little monkey was very agile. It crawled all over Huo Miao's body. Before Mu Mingxuan could catch it, it stood on Huo Miao's head and then jumped onto Mu Mingxuan, launching another fierce attack.
Mu Mingxuan felt a stinging pain on his face, raised his hand, pulled it off his body, and threw it heavily to the ground.
The little monkey made a sound of baring its teeth and quickly fled away from the place swinging on the vines.
Huo Ziheng hurriedly asked: "Miaomiao, Mingxuan, are you okay?"
Jian Tiantian, who had been hiding aside, also stepped forward.
"Something's wrong! I feel like I'm dying of pain!" Huo Miao raised his face and whimpered.
When Huo Ziheng saw it, he gasped.
Huo Miao's fair and smooth face was covered with red and swollen scratches, which looked like broken skin. Mu Mingxuan next to him was not much better than Huo Miao. Not only was his face scratched by the monkey, but his neck was also covered with scratches, which looked shocking.
Mu Mingxuan frowned and added to what he had just said: "That is a macaque. It is small in size, but has high attack power and a strong desire for revenge. It can kill animals that are twice its size."
[Yes, I didn't expect Mu Mingxuan to recognize it. It is indeed a macaque.] [This kind of monkey is very curious, so it was attracted by Huo Miao's voice just now.] [Also, they have a very bad temper and a strong sense of revenge. They are also social animals. Being caught like this now is nothing. If they don't leave, if the little monkey brings reinforcements later, these guests will be finished...] Huo Miao endured the pain on her face and apologized to Mu Mingxuan: "I'm sorry, Brother Mingxuan, I didn't know... I was too hungry and too angry just now, so I threw a stone at it."
"It's okay." Mu Mingxuan shook his head: "Let's go back and apply the medicine first."
Huo Miao was also concerned about the injuries on her face and nodded quickly.
After what happened, Jian Tiantian and Huo Ziheng decided not to continue picking wild vegetables, and the four of them returned to the stream together.
Coincidentally, the chicken soup cooked by Jiang Ning was just coming out of the pot. Jiang Ning filled a bowl for Qi Xingzhou and filled another bowl for herself, then handed the soup spoon to Nong Chun and let him fill it himself.
A big pot of chicken soup is more than enough for three people.
The chicken soup cooked with firewood tastes particularly delicious, not to mention the addition of freshly picked chicken mushrooms with ginger and lemon.
The three of them held their bowls, sat on the ground, and ate happily. After smelling the scent in the air, Huo Ziheng and the others couldn't help swallowing secretly.
Huo Ziheng turned his head to look at Jiang Ning's back, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, his expression somewhat restrained.
Jian Tiantian took the wild vegetables to the stream to wash them.
Mu Mingxuan and Huo Miao had too many scratches on their faces, and the little medicine they had left was not enough. Huo Miao said anxiously, "Brother, check Ling Bo's backpack. He has medicine in it."
Huo Ziheng was also worried about the injuries of the two men, so he found Ling Bo's hiking bag, unzipped it, and began to search.
Fortunately, Ling Bo didn't have much stuff, so Huo Ziheng quickly found medicine to treat the injury.
When Jian Tiantian came back from washing the wild vegetables, she happened to see Huo Ziheng rummaging through Ling Bo's backpack. She frowned, with a look of slight disapproval on her face, but did not say anything.
Jian Tiantian walked up to Huo Miao and said, "Where are those bird eggs? Shall we make bird egg and wild vegetable soup for lunch?"
The bird egg was in Huo Miao's pocket. She gritted her teeth and said, "My face is like this, but you only want to drink bird egg and wild vegetable soup?"
Jian Tiantian: "..." What else? Does she still have to hold him in her arms and coax him?
Jian Tiantian remained silent.
A strange color flashed across Huo Miao's eyes. She raised her head and said with some guilt: "Second brother, I'm sorry. You just gave me those bird eggs, and I put them in my pocket. Just now, the monkey crawled all over me and broke the eggs."
"Ah..." Huo Ziheng felt a little sorry, but he quickly comforted Huo Miao: "It's okay, it's okay. The wild vegetables we just picked are enough for us to eat."
Jian Tiantian was a little angry when she heard what Huo Miao said.
Her eyes subconsciously looked at Huo Miao's pockets. Huo Miao's pockets were clean, without any trace of egg liquid.
Huo Miao was simply lying with her eyes open! She wanted to keep those bird eggs all by herself!
Jian Tiantian felt like she was about to be mad at her. She didn't believe that Huo Ziheng and the others couldn't see it, but Huo Ziheng and the others were clearly on Huo Miao's side.
Jian Tiantian turned around frustratedly and continued to work on the things at hand.
[Huo Miao is so shameless. Her pockets are clean. It's obvious that she's lying!] [Poor Tiantian. Compared with Huo Miao, Tiantian seems like a servant girl. She has to do everything for her.] [What a damn capital!] Jiang Ning didn't know what happened to Huo Miao and the others. She was holding a bowl, sitting cross-legged on the grass, drinking the fragrant chicken soup. She felt so comfortable.
Even when eating, Qi Xingzhou always sat next to Jiang Ning. Although he was such a germaphobe, he didn't show any disgust on his face when they were sitting on the grass outdoors. Seeing that Jiang Ning liked chicken so much, Qi Xingzhou raised his hand and put the big chicken leg in his bowl into Jiang Ning's bowl.
Jiang Ning looked at the extra chicken drumstick in her bowl and reached out to return it, but was stopped by Qi Xingzhou.
Qi Xingzhou approached Jiang Ning, his eyes fell on Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan, and whispered in Jiang Ning's ear: "They were caught by the monkey."
The hot air brushed over her sensitive ears, Jiang Ning's long eyelashes trembled, and she subconsciously followed Qi Xingzhou's gaze.
Jiang Ning had good eyesight, and even though they were at a distance, she could tell at a glance that Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan's faces were a little red.
Jiang Ning narrowed her eyes slightly, looked for a while, and then looked away.
She asked curiously, "How did you know?"
When the chicken soup was being cooked just now, Qi Xingzhou had been staying with her. Even when Jiang Ning was digging wild ginger, Qi Xingzhou squatted beside her and watched like a curious baby. He had no contact with the other guests at all. Could it be that he made this guess based on the wound on his face?
This is so amazing.
At such a distance, she couldn't clearly see the injuries on Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan's faces.
Qi Xingzhou said in a serious tone: "I heard the little monkey's voice. The little monkey told me."
Although he didn't speak very loudly, Nong Chun who was sitting on the other side still heard it.
Nong Chun couldn't help but look up from the bamboo bowl at Qi Xingzhou, his expression was indescribable.
He discovered that Sister Jiang's friend's words and actions seemed a little different from ordinary people.
How could he say this without changing his expression? Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it.
Nong Chun secretly complained, but he didn't expect that the next second he heard Jiang Ning's voice of praise: "Well caught! You can tell at first glance that this monkey is full of justice!"
"Hurry, hurry, let's eat quickly, or the chicken will get cold."
Qi Xingzhou's eyes sparkled and he nodded heavily.
