"I just wanted to ask the little monkey, I didn't mean anything by it!"
With so many onlookers, Zhou Jie couldn't do anything forcefully, so she patiently explained as best she could.
"Little monkey, come here!"
A man picked up the baby monkey.
"You can understand what I'm saying, right?"
The little monkey was gesturing wildly with its paws again. Zhou Jie frowned. This wouldn't do. The two of them couldn't communicate because they didn't speak the same language.
Han Luoxue checked the space, wanting to ask if it could understand the little monkey's words. Unfortunately, the space didn't respond.
Not only that, but similar items haven't been refreshed in the store either.
This is troublesome; mere suspicion is useless.
We still need to think of a way to communicate with the little monkey.
Suddenly, Han Luoxue thought of something. She stepped forward and stood next to Zhou Jie, staring intently at the little monkey.
"Stop gesturing, we don't understand what you're gesturing for. How about this, I'll ask you a question, and if it's yes, nod; if it's no, shake your head, okay?"
The little monkey, who had been gesturing, nodded vigorously upon hearing this.
The onlookers were stunned. The little monkey seemed to have human-like qualities, and they never expected it could actually understand human speech.
This guy is really something else.
Upon seeing this, the stall owner's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly stepped forward, trying to snatch the little monkey away, but two burly men stopped him.
"What do you want? Even if you are rich and powerful, you can't take my things."
"Right under the emperor's nose, in broad daylight, how can they so blatantly steal things? Is there any justice left?"
The stall owner tried to forcibly take the goods, but unfortunately, the Zhou family's servants were not to be trifled with.
In no time, he knocked the stall owner down, and the man squatted on the ground, unable to get up.
"You know me?"
The little monkey nodded vigorously.
"You weren't originally a monkey?"
The little monkey nodded again.
"Where have you seen me before?" The little monkey was now in a dilemma, unsure whether to nod or shake its head, and could only draw with its paw.
Han Luoxue felt that the language barrier was a big problem, but she really didn't understand animal language.
This question was too difficult to answer, so Han Luoxue decided to try a different one.
"Are you from Wuling Town?"
The little monkey was finally able to nod again, nodding continuously, just like a chick pecking at rice.
"Tiger Head Cliff Village?"
The little monkey shook its head, then nodded.
Han Luoxue watched him shake his head and nod, still not understanding what he meant.
However, upon learning that these were children from Wuling Town, Han Luoxue immediately became furious.
"I can't believe you'd turn a person into a monkey!"
Han Luoxue turned her head and stared coldly at the stall owner on the ground.
The man was so frightened that he shook his head.
He knew he was in trouble when Han Luoxue asked him a question, but unfortunately he was being controlled and couldn't even run away.
Han Luoxue's words and the little monkey's performance just now left everyone speechless with shock.
What was the meaning of Han Luoxue's last words?
This man actually turned people into monkeys?
How is that possible?
"Sister Zhou, let's report this to the police. The authorities should investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Turning people into monkeys is utterly inhumane.
Zhou Jie nodded solemnly. The people who were performing elsewhere scattered at the sound of the commotion.
Soon, the government officials arrived. Han Luoxue explained the situation, and they still couldn't believe it.
Seeing the pitiful little monkey, who would have thought it was actually a child?
After this incident, the three of them lost their desire to continue shopping.
On the way back, Zhou Jie looked depressed. What happened today was something she never dared to imagine before.
Han Luoxue was also pondering, wondering what the little monkey meant by shaking its head and then nodding at the end.
He knew about Hutouya Village, had even been there, and knew him.
The reason he kept running towards them was because he recognized her? And wanted her to help him?
Who could it be? There shouldn't be any lost children that age in their village, right? Could it be from the next village?
For a moment, Han Luoxue couldn't figure it out either.
Even if you figure it out, what good will it do? A monkey made from humans—it's obvious it won't live long.
Besides, even if we could find the little monkey's family, would they be able to accept a child with this physical form?
Han Luoxue thought it was impossible. She wondered who would be so heartless as to sell the child to the stall owner.
Besides, this little monkey is probably not an isolated case. Perhaps there are many other little monkeys living a life worse than death in places she doesn't know about.
...
When Han Luoxue returned, the old lady was also stunned upon hearing the news.
She never expected to have such heartless parents.
"Well, it's impossible for humans to turn into monkeys, so this cruel practice has a very high mortality rate."
Han Luoxue nodded in agreement. According to modern understanding, it was almost impossible to succeed.
That little monkey is a case in point; it was probably just lucky.
"But Xue'er, you should go out less often in the future, especially to crowded places like this. Better safe than sorry, you're not alone now."
"Oh dear, Grandmother, don't talk about Xue'er anymore. Let me tell you, she would never stay at home quietly."
Zhou Jie came to the rescue; she couldn't stand being cooped up at home all day, it would be better to kill her.
"I'm just worried, aren't I?"
The old lady rolled her eyes at Zhou Jie, thinking that this little girl didn't act like a girl at all.
"Grandmother, I'm going back to Le'an Town tomorrow. I didn't stay there last time I went. I'll let my parents know so they won't worry about me!"
The old lady nodded, not objecting. With Xue'er's fiefdom over there, and Han Mingyuan and the others watching over it, she felt at ease.
Besides, it's much quieter over there than in Beijing.
The next day, Du Linlang arrived early to accompany them. The villa was almost finished, and she wanted to go and check on it.
Yunniang was very happy living here. Although she came to the capital, she almost never mentioned the Chi family, which shows that she had truly let go of the past.
In the past, when she wanted to find her parents, she simply wanted to know who her relatives were.
Knowing that it wasn't that they didn't want her, and that they had been searching for her all these years, Yunniang felt that was enough.
"Have you finished dealing with everything in the capital?"
Han Mingyuan was also very happy to see his daughter return.
"Actually, there's not much going on over there. Most of the work is handled by Sister Zhou and Sister Du."
Han Luoxue smiled and said, "I'm just a hands-off manager. I leave all the worries and troubles to others. I just need to wait to count the money."
"But in the end, it's because my two older sisters love me so much. Otherwise, how could I have it so easy?"
Now Han Luoxue feels that she hasn't been doing her best, and she's struggling to distribute the money.
Han Mingyuan laughed heartily: "That depends on my daughter's ability. If she's not capable, who would give you money?"
That makes sense.
