The howls of wild beasts seemed to be right next to my ears.
Shi Wenye and Shi Lingheng were not on good terms; they might even have wanted each other dead.
But now he's forcing a smile, acting as if he's on very good terms with Shi Lingheng.
"Shi Zhiqing, Shi Lingheng?"
The monkey stopped in its tracks, looking puzzled.
Shi Wen also exclaimed in surprise, "It's him, it's him..."
The monkey took another step back: "Aren't you taking advantage of me because I'm an idiot? You know Shi Zhiqing, so why are you tied up here like this? I don't want to cause trouble..."
Shi Wen cursed the monkey inwardly for being so troublesome, but at this moment, he was the last straw, so he could only lie through his teeth: "This, this..."
"If you don't tell me, I'm leaving..."
The monkey yawned and took a step forward.
"I, I mean, we were just joking around, just seeing if we could meet a kind person like you tonight..."
The monkey was barely holding back its laughter when Wen actually managed to lie through his teeth.
His eyes widened: "You and Shi Zhiqing are very close?"
Shi Wen immediately nodded eagerly.
But the monkey just snorted coldly, "I'm not helping you then, I have a conflict with him..."
Shi Wenye's expression had already frozen. If he were alright right now, he would definitely kill this brat.
He had no choice but to change the subject: "We also have our grudges..."
These words seemed to pique the monkey's interest, and he stopped to ask questions.
The monkey was like a monkey show performer; he must be sick to be here in the middle of the night, it was obviously arranged by Shi Lingheng...
He's incredibly skilled at getting information out of you. You, Shi Wenye, were already on edge, and now the monkey's antics are making your head spin...
It seems like I'm about to lose my ability to think.

The fact that Shi Lingheng was wounded by a gun could not be hidden, and he had no intention of concealing it, otherwise such a wound would easily cause trouble.
He dragged his injured leg down the mountain and happened to run into some villagers who helped him out.
Village chief Li Dafu rushed to the educated youth settlement with a worried look on his face. He entered the house and asked, "How did you get injured?"
Shi Lingheng shook his head, his face pale: "I don't know either. I thought there was a rabbit in the bushes, and my attention was focused there when someone fired a gun from behind..."
Li Dafu's face also turned serious at once.
The monkey appeared as dawn broke, carrying Shi Wenye. Upon entering the village, it loudly proclaimed, "Village Chief, a stranger has appeared in the mountains behind our village. He claims to know Shi Lingheng..."
Li Dafu had just returned home from the educated youth settlement. Shi Lingheng's gunshot wound was difficult to treat, and it was too late yesterday, so they could only ask Tu Langzhong in the village to give him some basic treatment first, and then send him to the county hospital early tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, the aorta was not hit, and Shi Lingheng bandaged it in time; otherwise, he might not have made it through the night.
Li Dafu came out of the house and saw Shi Wenye being dragged along by the monkey. He frowned and asked, "Who is he?"
Shi Wenye was both thirsty and exhausted. This monkey was like Tang Sanzang, tossing and turning all night, and now his whole head was spinning.
Last night, in an effort to gain people's trust, he did his best to portray his relationship with Ling Heng as extremely bad.
But how can that be enough?
The monkeys weren't going to let him off easily. Shi Wenye originally wanted to leave on his own, but the monkeys dragged him all the way to the village...
Now my legs look like noodles.
