Chapter 151 Buying a Monkey
Thirteen had just returned from his journey to the southwest when he heard that Qiuqiu was missing as soon as he entered the mansion.
He had a premonition that things wouldn't be peaceful in the capital recently, and he happened to run into them when he went out with the Shadow Guards to search for someone.
But I didn't expect to catch such a pleasant surprise.
Thirteen twisted Fifth's ear: "Fifteen, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Wu's expression changed, and he glanced guiltily at Gongye Changfeng before whispering to Thirteen, "He doesn't know who I am, so keep your voice down."
Thirteen looked at Gongye Changfeng, who was so nervous he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, and with a fake smile, pulled Xiao Wu aside to ask him a question.
"What did you tell this kid? And where did you go after you ran away?"
Xiao Wu was also an assassin at Chunfeng Tower, ranked fifteenth. However, he was an assassin who had never killed anyone.
She was the youngest member, and Chunyu Shu had already wanted to disband Chunfeng Tower. Two years ago, he turned a blind eye and let her go.
Thirteen never saw her again after that.
This reunion doesn't seem to be going well.
“After I left Chunfeng Tower, I was attacked and injured, but Gongye Changfeng saved me. I’ve been following him ever since.” Xiao Wu looked around cautiously and lowered her voice. “I told him I was a female knight-errant who was being hunted by my enemies. He didn’t know I was an assassin.”
"I later returned to Chunfeng Tower, but I never expected that it had already been wiped out by our enemies. Thirteenth Brother, let's join forces and find our enemies!"
"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss." Thirteen frowned and said irritably, "This is a long story, I'll explain it to you when we get back. Now, come back with me."
"Go back? Go back where?"
"The Marquis of Wenyang's Residence".
"Why are you going there?"
"Let me introduce you to the new landlord."
"The new master of the pavilion?" Xiao Wu felt like his brain couldn't keep up. Who else in the Spring Breeze Pavilion could be qualified to be the master of the pavilion?
"who?"
Thirteen pointed a finger at a small ball of fluff: "Her!"
Xiao Wu: "???"
Xiao Wu is injured, so it would be more convenient for him to go to the Marquis of Wenyang's residence with Thirteen for treatment and recuperation. The assassin from today has already had his jaw removed and been taken back for interrogation.
They're all masters of assassins; getting anything out of them is a piece of cake.
Gongye Changfeng stood alone by the roadside, watching Xiao Wu get into the carriage of the Marquis of Wenyang's mansion, looking as resentful as an abandoned woman.
Chiu Chiu clung to the car door, unwilling to go inside, her little eyes constantly glancing down. Since Thirteen had already brought one person back, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to bring one too.
"Waaaaah~"
Su Xiucheng reached out and pressed his hand against Qiuqiu's mouth: "You promised you wouldn't be a whiny whiner!"
I want that one!
Chirp's eyes sparkled with an irresistible light as she eagerly rubbed her little hands together.
Su Xiucheng squinted for a long time but couldn't see what she wanted. Xiao Wu's muffled voice came from inside the carriage: "She wants that monkey."
That wasn't just any ordinary monkey; it was the monkey that saved Chiu Chiu's life!
If the little monkey hadn't thrown that banana, it might have gotten hurt.
The little monkey hid around the corner, its small size making it furtive as it peeked at Qiuqiu. Seeing a human watching it, it couldn't help but tremble.
Just as Thirteen was about to send someone to fetch the monkey, the animal trainer from the acrobatic troupe stepped forward with a whip.
A whip as thick as a finger lashed out and left a bloody welt on the little monkey.
The animal trainer cursed, "You beast, trying to escape?! I'll beat you to death!"
The group of foolish killers have all been arrested, and the belatedly arriving soldiers are currently handling the aftermath and taking the injured innocent civilians to the hospital. The surrounding area is noisy and chaotic, and the little monkey hiding there was surprisingly easy to miss.
The little monkey that had been hit seemed numb; its gloomy eyes darted around, but its body didn't move an inch. It knew that if it tried to dodge, it would only be beaten harder.
That little koi fish seems to be well taken care of by humans.
Today's unexpected mishap meant the troupe had worked for nothing, and they vented their anger on the innocent little monkey, yelling, "You dare to hide? I'll beat you to death today!"
Just as the whip was about to fall, the little monkey resigned itself to its fate, closed its eyes, and waited for the pain to arrive.
But...it doesn't seem to hurt...
It peered into the eyes and saw the human holding the little koi holding the tamer's whip with one hand. He lashed out and the tamer charged forward, but Thirteen kicked him to the ground.
The animal trainer glared fiercely at the man who had suddenly appeared before him, but dared not make a move because of his skill.
"Who are you? What are you doing?!"
Thirteen pushed Qiuqiu towards him: "My young lady wants this monkey, name your price."
The animal trainer's eyes lit up, his greedy expression completely exposed. He pointed to the pitiful little monkey and began to tease him: "This monkey is no ordinary one. Look how intelligent it is! You'd be hard-pressed to find another one like it!"
"So, regarding the price..."
He grinned slyly, rubbing his fingers together and hinting at Thirteen, "It's not low."
Rich kids can come home and ask for whatever they want; it would be stupid not to rip them off!
He's guaranteed to make money as long as he understands children's psychology! Then he can just tell the troupe leader that the little monkey ran away, and all the money will be his!
Thirteen couldn't tell what he was thinking, so she just pinched the inside of his arm to stop him from speaking.
Thirteen waved his chubby index finger in front of the animal trainer and explained, "My young lady will offer one hundred taels."
"One hundred taels?!"
This is the Goddess of Wealth!
He was afraid that Thirteen would realize what was happening and not let the Goddess of Wealth spend this money unnecessarily, so he rushed forward, picked up the little monkey, and handed it to Qiuqiu.
"Grandma, oops! Miss, how are you going to carry it? Shall I find a rope to tie it up?"
Monkeys are wild and difficult to tame, so be careful not to hurt his Goddess of Wealth.
The little monkey was huddled up, much smaller than Chiu Chiu, and skinny. Chiu Chiu beckoned to it with her finger, and the little monkey turned around and bit the trainer. It landed steadily and quickly climbed onto Thirteen's shoulder.
Chiu Chiu reached out and hugged the little monkey; she would protect this monkey from now on.
Thirteen didn't understand why Chiu Chiu would spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a little monkey, but he only needed to obey his master's request.
The animal trainer happily left after receiving the money.
Chiu Chiu waited until he was far away before letting Thirteen carry her back.
The little monkey had many wounds and huddled in the carriage, not moving.
Chiu Chiu's interest in it seemed to last only a moment. As soon as she returned home, she forgot all about the little monkey and started clamoring to go to her third uncle and aunt's yard.
Liu Yueyao was supervising Su Wenqi's exercise when she suddenly heard a child's whimpering. She got up and saw Qiuqiu come in with tears streaming down her face.
"Who bullied our little chick?"
“Wow wow wow!”
Chiu Chiu burst into tears, determined to soften Uncle and Aunt's hearts!
Someone is bullying Chuchu and the little monkey!
[Little monkey, one hundred taels!]
My heart is aching terribly!
Liu Yueyao rolled up her sleeves and said, "Which troupe dares to bully my Qiuqiu? Don't they want to stay in West Street anymore?!"
Chiu Chiu, filled with righteous indignation: 【From West Street!】
Liu Yueyao: "Copy it!"
Isn't a brainless killer a perfect match for someone?
Thirteen: Without our Chunfeng Tower, the quality of assassins has plummeted!
