Chapter 61 October 26th
The deeper you go into the jungle, the more you can feel the richness of their lives. Yu Zhu saw many female mandrills with their babies.
They noticed a stranger had come to their territory, but they continued to eat and drink. They couldn't help but look over curiously. Surrounded by the monkeys, Yu Zhu inexplicably felt as if he was the monkey (?
We can't have too many monkeys here, it's too hot when they're crowded together.
Yu Zhu glanced at the army of mandrills behind him and said to the Mandrill King, "Let them retreat."
The Mandrill King subconsciously raised his hand and made a gesture to disperse, but after he did it, he realized something was wrong. Why did it listen to her?
The mandrills have also obediently dispersed. There is a clear hierarchy in the monkey group. The mandrill king has absolute say and the highest status.
Without so many monkeys following them, even the wind blowing through the forest was a little cooler. Xinni felt much more comfortable, and Yu Zhu was also much more relaxed.
During this time, a little mandrill came over happily, but was pushed aside by the Mandrill King to prevent it from approaching. It was probably the Mandrill King's cub.
Yu Zhu looked at the big pomegranate in the little mandrill's hand and raised Er Kang's hand: "Wait a moment."
The Mandrill King paused, his eyes gleaming with a fierceness for a moment as he began to brainstorm Yu Zhu's intentions. Was she finally ready to strike? What was she planning? Kidnapping its cubs? Threatening it and its pack?
He regained consciousness eight hundred times in a second before slowly turning his head to look at Yu Zhu and asking her, "Ahhhh!"
This sound is even more unpleasant than Xinni's scream.
(Xinni:?)
Yu Zhu noticed its excitement and soothed it calmly, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person."
Mandrill King: ...
Its suspicious eyes were full of distrust.
Yu Zhu took off his backpack, reached into the bag, and under the close watch of the Mandrill King, took out a fruit cucumber!
She broke off a piece and put it in her mouth. The sound of chewing was very crisp. The cucumber was juicy and thirst-quenching, which proved that it was not poisonous. Then she tentatively handed the cucumber to the little mandrill.
The little mandrill couldn't resist the temptation of food under the mandrill king's eyes that looked like he wanted to eat the little monkey. He took Yu Zhu's cucumber, but when he saw that Yu Zhu didn't take his hand away, he thought for a moment and put his pomegranate on it.
Yu Zhu smiled with satisfaction: "You are really smart."
The little mandrill was also happy. It gnawed the cucumber happily. Maybe it had never eaten it before, so it gnawed it very vigorously, especially when it saw Yu Zhu eating it so deliciously before, it also thought it was delicious.
The mandrill king kept staring at the little mandrill nervously. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the food it had eaten, he got furious and kicked it in the butt. However, the little mandrill ran away very quickly. Not only did it dodge skillfully, but it also looked at Yu Zhu reluctantly before leaving.
Yu Zhu waved to it in a friendly manner and continued to move forward with the Mandrill King.
In the next half hour, Yu Zhu refreshed the King of Mandrills' understanding of humans.
It found that Yu Zhu was not shy at all, and his true colors were revealed as they walked.
No matter what delicious or fun things they see, they will stop and walk over to take a look. At first, they were very polite in exchanging supplies with the monkeys, but later they just became "beggars", just like now.
Yu Zhu asked the little mandrill on the branch: "Hey, little monkey, what are you eating?"
Little Mandrill:?
Yu Zhu: "I'm a college student, give me some food."
Little Mandrill: ???
Although the little mandrill didn't quite understand, when it saw Yu Zhu staring at the kiwi in his hand, it glanced at the serious-looking mandrill king next to it, and still obediently handed it to Yu Zhu.
The little mandrills are very generous.
By the time Yu Zhu was about to leave the baboon's territory, his backpack, which was originally a little shriveled, was already stuffed to the brim with stuff, and he couldn't even continue playing the game.
How could you even lie to a little monkey? How old are you?
Listening to Youxi's questioning, Yu Zhu remained calm. Ever since he taught Youxi, the dog Youxi has become more and more active, very eager to learn, and not ashamed to ask questions.
Yu Zhu: No matter how old I am, I just want to ask you, was I ever a college student?
[…Yes] (Something feels wrong)
Yu Zhu: That’s it, how can this be called cheating?
The game was easily defeated with just two sentences, and the Mandrill King, who had watched Yu Zhu's magical operation throughout the whole process, went from being nervous at the beginning to being numb later.
Mandrill King: I can confirm through eye contact that you are really here to purchase goods.
The little mandrills probably didn't expect that there would be someone in this world asking them for food.
Because of these little incidents, it took me more than half an hour to get out, which should have taken fifteen minutes.
The total harvest was: 1000g pomegranate, 500g kiwi, 600g peach, 400g pear, 300g dried persimmon, 600g mango.
Total consumption: 230g cucumber, 500g hawthorn, 200g small apple.
A total of more than a dozen transactions were concluded, and no negative reviews were received due to language barriers or other issues.
After Yu Zhu finished his inspection, he found that the fruit resources in this area were even more abundant. It was truly a treasure trove of mountains and rivers.
The weapons that had been prepared were not used at all. Her sincerity really touched people's hearts, and the mandrills must have felt her kindness.
Watching the man and the leopard walking further and further away, the Mandrill King breathed a sigh of relief. When he returned, he saw his cub asking when he could meet Yu Zhu again. It also wanted to eat the long green-skinned fruit (cucumber), but what it got was a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, and it was beaten so hard that it screamed.
Yu Zhu took Xinni on a new journey. When he saw suitable flowers on the way, he would pick some and take them back.
After a clear uphill section, they came to a cliff with a large area of dense forest below.
There was no road at all. Yu Zhu took out the telescope at the right time. She was going to see which direction to go next, and she saw white figures flashing through the dense forest below.
Yu Zhu:?
What's the point of asking her to have a good rest?
I pointed the telescope and took a look. The white and fat body looked really familiar.
“Isn’t this a lamb kebab?”
Xinni lay down to rest, wagging her tail in confusion, obviously not knowing what lamb kebabs were.
This poor little leopard has never eaten mutton, even though they are on the same island.
But what Yu Zhu didn't expect was that there were not only sheep here, but also quite a few of them.
When she was wondering how to get down, she saw the "shepherd dog".
To be precise, this is the leader of the wolves, and there are more than one.
Such a close distance? Wolves and sheep coexisting? The relationship was a little complicated. Yu Zhu's thoughts paused for a moment, and an old song flashed through his mind: The wolf falls in love with the sheep, the love is crazy~
Reason told her that things were probably not what she thought, so Yu Zhu decided to go down and find out the situation first.
She began to look for a way down the mountain and took Xinni to a cliff that was not too steep.
She took out a simple hook, tied one end of it to a thick tree, held Xinni with one hand, and slid down with it.
I used to think that I would rather encounter a jackal than a mandrill, but in the end I encountered not only a mandrill but also a jackal. I really don’t know what kind of luck I have.
Good news: Wolves can't climb trees.
There are still many small animals here, and traces of birds and squirrels can be seen from time to time in the trees.
Yu Zhu deliberately found a dense tree to hide in and looked around with a telescope.
I found that these sheep were indeed kept in captivity. Thinking about the similar situation of Italian bees before, I can understand it a little bit.
Look at these plump lambs. There are so many of them. If I give her a few of them, they won’t be discovered, right?
Although there were wolves guarding the sheep, they did not guard them strictly. The wolves were very lazy and knew that the sheep had nowhere to run.
This area should be the wolf's territory. It looks like a Northern Rocky Mountain wolf.
Mandrills and mountain wolves jointly control this area, so who is the boss?
Yu Zhu guessed that there might not be a BOSS in Area B. Unlike Area A, the animals here were all social and were divided into two.
What about the treasure chest? Where is it? After exploring all the mandrill territories, the only option left is to search the mandrill king's house.
Mandrill King:?
Wouldn't it be more presumptuous?
Wolves are also a bit difficult to deal with. Their IQ is obviously not low. They can even grow their own food, so how stupid can they be?
But Yu Zhu was not in a hurry, as he obviously had more important things to do right now.
She has been kind since she was young, and she can't bear to see the lambs suffer (?
Yu Zhu wanted to rescue them from the wolves' encirclement, but he didn't want to take too big a step. He just wanted to rescue one or two first to try.
