The little monkeys were still a little scared, but seeing that they didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them, they accepted the fruit.
They were so hungry.
They haven't eaten anything for so long.
Hiding there, I didn't dare go out at all, for fear of being caught by bad guys.
If Xia Anyan hadn't fed them some bread crumbs soaked in spiritual spring water, they might not have had the strength to get here at all.
"Sister-in-law, the little monkey's condition is not good. Captain Gong asked me to tell you that he wants to perform the leg amputation surgery on the little monkey right here and asks if you agree."
Just as Xia Anyan was eating, a young comrade suddenly ran over. He hesitated at first, but after glancing at Xia Anyan, he said this.
Xia Anyan glanced at the monkeys over there and pursed her lips: "Okay."
Although Xia Anyan couldn't do it herself, she wanted to stay there so that if anything unexpected happened, she could take out the spiritual spring water from her space for the monkey to use.
Although that might expose her, she didn't want anything to happen to the little monkey.
Seeing that Xia Anyan had also come along, Captain Gong was slightly surprised but didn't say anything.
"Sister-in-law, although this leg is broken, there will definitely be some blood involved in taking it off. Why don't you go wait over there first?"
Seeing Xia Anyan standing there, her eyes still fixed on the little monkey, the young comrade hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
He was worried that Xia Anyan wouldn't be able to accept it, which is why he said that extra sentence.
Xia Anyan shook her head at him: "No need, I'll stay here with them. These monkeys trust me a lot. They'll be scared if I'm not here, and I absolutely can't let them down."
After hearing what Xia Anyan said, the young comrade said nothing more.
At first, the monkeys were indeed a little panicked, fearing that these humans might do something to the little monkeys, but they were relieved when Xia Anyan came over.
The young comrades were relieved to see that the monkeys had indeed quieted down.
Xia Anyan had already soaked several handkerchiefs in the spiritual spring water in her space, and she would take them out immediately should anything happen here.
"Alright, you guys keep an eye on things from the side and don't let those monkeys come over and cause trouble. I'm about to start," Captain Gong said, his eyes falling on the little monkey's legs.
He held a dagger in his hand, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight and looked very sharp.
He held the dagger over the fire for a moment, then gestured at the severed leg, preparing to cut it.
Zhang Junan walked over from the side and covered Xia Anyan's eyes.
Xia Anyan saw nothing at the moment the knife fell.
By the time she removed Zhang Junan's hand, the leg had already been cut off.
Although it was Captain Gong who cut off the severed leg, the other comrades waited on the side, applied hemostatic medicine, and then bandaged it with gauze.
Even though Xia Anyan moved very quickly, she didn't see what just happened.
She didn't know what to say.
"Dad, why are you..." she sighed, feeling utterly helpless.
"Ayan, now that it's over, don't think about these things anymore. From now on, just take good care of this little monkey."
Zhang Junan patted Xia Anyan on the shoulder, signaling her not to get too excited.
Xia Anyan nodded silently.
After everything was tidied up, everyone dispersed, leaving only Xia Anyan and the monkeys behind.
She took out a handkerchief soaked in the spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and dripped two drops onto the little monkey's lips.
Then, he placed the handkerchief on the wound.
Although it was soaked in spiritual spring water, the spiritual spring water will be consumed very quickly after it is taken out of the space.
She had to act quickly.
The wound was bandaged, and Xia Anyan simply covered it with a handkerchief.
The gauze was soaked, and the spiritual spring water slowly seeped into it before quickly disappearing. Both the handkerchief and the gauze dried in an instant.
Xia Anyan then took out a second handkerchief, and a third handkerchief...
She patiently went back and forth several times until she saw that it was almost done, and then she stopped.
Xia Anyan wanted to return to the group, but several monkeys kept surrounding her, seemingly worried about the little monkey's health. They didn't dare to stray too far from Xia Anyan.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Anyan squatted down: "I'm right over there. If anything happens, you can come find me anytime."
"You've only eaten some fruit. I'll go get you some water to drink, and I'll also have someone find you some more fruit."
The journey back is still quite long. I'll find food for these monkeys when we get back, but I don't know if they can survive.
Whether these monkeys were intelligent or could understand Xia Anyan's words, after she finished speaking, the monkeys that had been blocking her way made way.
Not far away, Captain Gong had been watching this area intently.
The scene where Xia Anyan applied the spiritual spring water to the little monkey's wound was completely obscured by her back, so Captain Gong didn't see anything.
But he saw Xia Anyan talking to the monkey.
Before Xia Anyan could come to him, he ordered someone to find something to eat.
"Captain Gong, I'd like to ask those monkeys for some more food, is that alright?" Xia Anyan asked cautiously, as if afraid that Captain Gong would refuse.
Captain Gong nodded: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I've already sent people to look for her, they'll be back soon."
Xia Anyan still trusted Captain Gong.
Since he said that, it means he will definitely do it.
"Then I thank you on their behalf."
Captain Gong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I am a soldier. Although these monkeys are not human, they are not much different from us. I believe that if we are in trouble one day, they will help us if they have the ability to do so."
Monkeys are very clever and have a spiritual connection to the human world.
There's no harm in getting along with them.
Xia Anyan never expected that Captain Gong could say such things and have such a clear mind.
She smiled and nodded: "Captain Gong, you are indeed very capable, and you think of many things."
Captain Gong just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Before long, a young comrade brought the items and personally delivered them to the little monkeys.
In such mountain forests, it's easy to find some wild fruits.
The monkeys can finally have a proper meal.
They ate happily, but their eyes kept glancing at the little monkeys.
The little monkey has been unconscious for a long time and has not yet regained consciousness.
Although Xia Anyan had just fed it spiritual spring water, it doesn't mean that its body is without problems.
