Chapter 296 This monkey is truly despicable!
Upon hearing his younger sister's voice, Tang Shan instinctively lay down without even asking why!
Before Little Su Bao could even catch her breath, she saw a stone falling from the sky!
In that instant, the stone slammed down hard not far in front of Tang Shan.
If he hadn't fallen, the stone would have hit him on the head.
Just that one blow would have caused a bloody head injury. The little dumpling had just witnessed Tang Shan being hit on the back of the head and becoming an idiot...
Thankfully, Third Brother is alright!
Little Su Bao puffed out her cheeks, her slightly chubby face showing anger.
These mischievous monkeys...
The little dumpling pursed her lips, her tiny fists clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.
Yun Qi was immediately startled, because he could tell that the stone was originally meant to hit him.
Because he almost fell while carrying Xiao Su Bao, Tang Shan rushed over to check on them, thus saving him from a fall...
Yun Qi's face darkened, her impression of these monkeys worsening.
At that moment, the stone landed at the feet of Yun Qi and Xiao Su Bao, making everyone's expressions somewhat unpleasant.
Just then, many more monkeys appeared, baring their teeth at them.
The monkeys even made excited noises.
"Everyone be careful! These mischievous monkeys are very strong and they can launch sneak attacks!" Tang Qi couldn't care less about anything else and could only stand in front, grabbing a basket on his back as a shield.
Yun Qi followed his example and stood by, protecting the children.
But this incident left a mark on those mischievous monkeys.
"That mischievous monkey is truly despicable!" Yun Qi gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger.
If Tang Shan hadn't been in front of him, he probably would have been hit by the object.
"Sir..." Little Su Bao suddenly called out to her master.
Yun Qi composed herself and looked down at Xiao Su Bao.
"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice, his entire body wary of the monkeys around him.
Xiao Su Bao paused, then couldn't help but purse her lips.
Granny Bai and Grandpa Taoist priest seemed to have dispersed some of the dark energy back then, but now...
"Sir, have you picked up anything recently, or...?"
Little Su Bao didn't know how to put it, but she always felt that there was something wrong with that black aura.
Yun Qi was taken aback and was about to speak when she suddenly saw a figure.
"Bai Yinjun, where are you going?" he shouted loudly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Yinjun stealthily moving towards the outside, about to run away!
"What time is it now? Didn't you hear what Mr. Tang just said?"
"Don't run around! If you get hurt by these monkeys, it'll be a huge loss!" Yun Qi shouted, frowning.
Bai Yinjun scratched his head, glanced at the basket on his back not far away, and felt a pang of worry.
“Sir, the cicada nymphs I caught are still over there. If I don’t go get them soon, they’ll ruin them!” Bai Yinjun couldn’t help but say.
There were quite a few cicada nymphs in the basket over there.
Little Su Bao followed his gaze and saw two monkeys touching each other.
If so many cicada nymphs were ruined by those monkeys, he would be heartbroken. These could be exchanged for silver!
That old man is always fawning over Grandma these days, and he can't let Grandma favor the old man...
"Don't go over there, it's very dangerous. What if something happens?" Tang Xin frowned and walked up to Bai Yinjun.
The latter was still somewhat unwilling to give up, his eyes constantly fixed on the basket of cicada nymphs.
Tang Xin frowned immediately, reached out, and pulled Bai Yinjun back by the ear.
"You stay here, or I'll beat you up!" Tang Xin said fiercely to Bai Yinjun when she realized that reasoning with him wouldn't work.
Little Su Bao looked at Bai Yin Jun curiously. For some reason, Bai Yin Jun, who was originally covered in a gray haze and whose appearance was murky, seemed to have changed quite a bit.
His head was shiny; he looked like he was having a lot of luck!
Moreover, she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but it seemed like a red line had just flashed between Bai Yinjun and Tang Xin.
Just as she was about to take a closer look, she suddenly sensed something and reached behind her with her little hand!
There was now a fist-sized green fruit in his palm.
It's rock hard, almost like a stone!
The little dumpling looked up again and saw a black-faced monkey flash by.
Its red bottom was showing to her...
Little dumpling...
"Bad... monkey!" Little Su Bao muttered, raising her hand to throw the green fruit back at him.
"Squeak..."
The next moment, the monkey felt a sharp pain in its head, turned its head, and bared its teeth and roared at Xiao Su Bao.
The monkeys nearby all joined in the roaring.
Xiao Su Bao's expression changed slightly; she felt like she had gotten into trouble...
"Ouch, I know I was wrong, why did you hit me!" Bai Yinjun was hit on the head, and he thought Tang Xin had hit him, so he shouted angrily.
Just as Xiao Su Bao was about to explain, she heard Bai Yin Jun's voice continue.
"Tang Xin, you're so fierce! I wonder who would dare marry a shrew like you!"
Tang Xin's face flushed instantly, and she turned and kicked Bai Yinjun's shin.
"I don't need you to worry about me. Just mind your own business. Anyway, I don't need you to marry me, so don't worry about me!" Tang Xin cursed angrily, then turned her head away and ignored her.
Bai Yinjun wanted to say something, but Tang Xin glared at him, so he could only shut his mouth in embarrassment.
Just then, a monkey threw fruit at Tang Xin again. Tang Xin was about to curse when she suddenly realized she had spotted a cunning little monkey.
"Watch out, everyone! These monkeys are going to throw things at us!"
Just then, Xiao Su Bao's gaze suddenly fell on the back of the monkey troop.
The shadows of the trees cleaved the moonlight and the light from the torches in their hands!
The little dumpling pursed her lips, clutching the dagger Xiao Mo Bao had given her, her body slightly tense!
A huge figure slowly appeared, and compared to the others, he looked more like a human!
Suddenly, Xiao Su Bao's pupils contracted slightly, and her gaze fixed on the 'big monkey'.
It wasn't a monkey, but a human being, only he was filthy and covered in the fur of some unknown animal.
"Sir, sir, look, isn't there a person over there?" Little Su Bao tugged at Yun Qi's clothes, saying excitedly.
Yun Qi was taken aback and looked in the direction Xiao Su Bao was pointing.
Suddenly, a figure about seven feet tall appeared between the two large trees.
However, something seemed off about this man...
“He is an ape-man…” Yun Qi recalled a passage she had read in a miscellaneous book.
There are beastmen in the mountains, wearing animal skins. They were abandoned by their parents as infants and later raised by wild animals.
They are called beastmen, for example, werewolves, apes, tigers, etc.
Yun Qi didn't have time to explain, but her brows were tightly furrowed.
At this moment, Little Bell jumped from the ground into Little Su Bao's arms.
"Grinning..." (Don't be afraid, little master, I'm here...)
The little bell didn't chirp today. It rubbed its head against Xiao Su Bao's hand, its bright red eyes darting around.
However, Xiao Su Bao didn't understand, and her eyes remained fixed on the distance.
“These ape-men are highly intelligent, but they are also full of wildness and bestiality!” Yun Qi’s face was somewhat gloomy.
Because those ape-men were all abandoned infants...
This alone is enough to weigh heavily on one's mind!
"Sir...please don't be sad..." Xiao Su Bao seemed to sense Yun Qi's distress, and she gently placed her hand on Yun Qi's head.
"What am I sad about? What is there to be sad about... They're all just a bunch of..." Yun Qi said self-deprecatingly, but her voice trailed off at the end!
His parents died, his older brother and elder brother were away working, while he...
She was sent to live with her uncle by her older brother and sister-in-law!
One year during a famine, his uncle abandoned him on the mountain. He was only five years old that year!
It's about the same size as today's little Su Bao...
Yun Qi clenched her fists, feeling extremely distressed!
Fortunately, six months later, my brother passed the imperial examination and returned home in glory.
In the dead of winter, his brother and sister-in-law searched for three days and three nights before finding him in a wolf den.
He couldn't speak anymore by then...
Fortunately, his brother and sister-in-law did not harm the wolf pack that had raised him; they simply had the wolves driven away.
Little Su Bao reached out and hugged Yun Qi, a soft and small child who carried a faint milky scent...
"Sir, perhaps we should leave here first..." the little dumpling said, sensing something.
Yun Qi responded with a sound of agreement, and then fell into a rare silence.
Just then, a monkey jumped in front of the two of them, roaring at Yun Qi as if it were angry.
Yun Qi was taken aback, not understanding what was going on.
Seeing that he didn't react, the monkey became even angrier, turned around, grabbed a vine, and ran away again.
Little Su Bao looked at the monkey, lost in thought...
She could sense the monkeys' hostility towards them, especially towards her husband…
Yun Qi was puzzled, but her expression changed slightly.
He protected a group of children, watching his surroundings warily.
The monkeys seemed to have received some kind of command, because they stopped attacking them!
Then the ape-man slowly stepped out from behind...
He stood under the torch, his disheveled hair obscuring his face, only his clear black and white eyes could be vaguely seen.
Tang Qi stood in front of Xiao Su Bao and the others, his brows furrowing.
"Be careful..." Tang Qi had been hunting in these mountains for many years, but he had never seen a monkey like this before...
"Ooh ooh..." The ape-man stood at the front, his hands pounded on the ground, his hind legs slightly bent, looking just like a big monkey!
It's just that he doesn't have any hair on his body...
"Roar..." He looked in this direction and let out a low growl.
"Giggle...coocoo..." Little Bell immediately became unhappy, put her front paws on Little Su Bao's arm, and shouted at the ape-man with her neck stiff.
The ape-man was taken aback, glanced down at the little bell, and then silently took a step back.
Yun Qi stood at the back of the crowd, looking at the ape-man with a furrowed brow.
Tang Qi, however, had already gripped the dagger tightly in his hand, guarding against the ape-man harming him!
"Roar..." The ape-man roared twice at Yun Qi, his eyes filled with anxiety.
Yun Qi was slightly taken aback. He frowned and pulled Tang Qi over.
"You're protecting the children, but I feel like they're targeting me!" Yun Qi said, and then tried to hand Xiao Su Bao to him.
Tang Qi grabbed Xiao Su Bao's arm, but the little dumpling didn't come over.
She had one arm around Yun Qi and the other holding the little bell.
“Sir, he’s looking for you…” Xiao Su Bao turned to look at her husband and said earnestly.
After saying that, the little girl looked at the ape-man, her adorable face gazing at him.
What are you looking for? Can you tell me?
The ape-man was taken aback. He looked at Little Su Bao warily, then glanced at the little bell in her arms.
It seems there's an innate fear of small bells...
"Squeak..." The ape-man stood not far away, staring at Little Su Bao, and made two low squeaks, seemingly with doubt.
Yun Qi was taken aback. He looked at Xiao Su Bao, then at the ape-man.
"He seems afraid of you!" Yun Qi said uncertainly, looking at Xiao Su Bao.
Little Su Bao raised her eyes, her gaze clear and innocent: "I don't know..."
Her little hand secretly tucked the small bell into her bosom...
This made Yunqi wonder if she had seen things wrong.
"What do you want? Su Bao will help you find it, okay?" Her voice seemed to have a magical power, making the ape-man in front of her less anxious!
He looked at Xiao Su Bao, then at Yun Qi, and pointed at him.
Yun Qi was stunned...
"I really don't know what you're looking for!" Yun Qi frowned and said helplessly.
Suddenly, Mo Bao tugged at his sleeve.
Yun Qi looked down and saw Mo Bao frowning, pointing to a jade pendant hanging at his waist.
Yun Qi was taken aback and looked down at the jade pendant...
This was a token of love given to him by his fiancée, but before they could get married, his fiancée was killed...
Thinking of this, Yun Qi's heart ached.
He gripped the jade pendant tightly, his brow furrowed!
"This belongs to my wife, I cannot give it to you!" Yun Qi looked at the ape-man, her tone solemn.
Seemingly sensing Yun Qi's rejection, the ape-man grew even angrier.
He angrily pointed at the jade pendant at Yun Qi's waist, then at himself, baring his teeth at Yun Qi...
Although Xiao Su Bao couldn't understand what he was saying, the little dumpling subconsciously felt that the ape-man seemed to care a lot about that jade pendant.
The little dumpling carefully examined the ape-man in front of it, and suddenly, its eyes lit up.
“Sir…Sir…” Little Su Bao tugged at Yun Qi’s collar, her gaze falling on the ape-man’s waist.
Yun Qi didn't know what Xiao Su Bao was going to do, but his hand was still tightly gripping his jade pendant.
"I can't give this to her, it belongs to my wife!" he said in a deep voice.
"No, sir, I saw that the jade pendant on that monkey brother's waist looks very similar to yours!" Little Su Bao couldn't help but raise her voice a little.
"What?" Yun Qi was taken aback and turned her head to look. Sure enough, she saw a jade pendant on the ape-man's waist.
Yun Qi was taken aback, her gaze lingering for a moment...
Little Mo Bao also looked over, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
“This is…” His voice trembled, his gaze fixed on the ape-man’s face.
These jade pendants were originally a pair; one belonged to his fiancée, and the other to his missing brother-in-law.
Years ago, his fiancée's family perished, and the siblings were trafficked to different places by human traffickers...
This jade pendant was the only keepsake the two of them possessed...
Little Su Bao looked at Yun Qi and suddenly froze. The little dumpling noticed that the black aura on his head was dissipating.
"Are you Little Fish?" Yun Qi asked, her voice trembling as she looked at the scantily clad ape-man not far away.
