Xu Yuehuai was dreaming.
In her dream, she was controlled by some mysterious force to leap from a height of 100 meters and land on the ground. Xu Yuehuai felt her heart racing.
"ah!"
With a scream, Xu Yuehuai opened her eyes.
Upon seeing this, she screamed again.
Inside the dark cave, some shadowy figures appeared out of nowhere. These ethereal figures moved like ghosts, their speed and frequency quite fast. Xu Yuehuai waved his arms and shouted angrily, "Get out of here! Get out!"
It is said that when a person is on the verge of death, they will see fierce gods, including the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face.
Could it be...?
Is she dying?
A sense of fear, like a cold front, spread and enveloped Xu Yuehuai from all directions. Xu Yuehuai felt a chill run down her spine. Just then, she felt a hairy hand grab her ankle.
She tried to attack and maneuver, but to no avail.
The owner of that hand possesses immense strength.
Soon, Xu Yuehuai's dream came true. Under the control of that strange power, she was indeed thrown off the cliff. She had never encountered such a strange and unusual thing in her life.
Xu Yuehuai's heart raced, and she trembled with fear. She had been feeling extremely dizzy, but she was gradually regaining consciousness. She looked back and saw that Qi Guze, who was lying behind her, was also surrounded by a group of furry, child-sized figures.
As for the dying Wang Ping'an, he naturally could not escape the fate either.
Xu Yuehuai had no idea where the other person would take her or what they would do.
Stumbling and falling, going up and down, in a daze.
Her head hit something, and finally the resistance disappeared. She felt dizzy and disoriented again, and was completely devastated.
When Xu Yuehuai opened her eyes again, she was exhausted, but she smelled a mellow fragrance, the aroma of fine wine, which wafted from all directions.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yuehuai saw a hairy face.
yes……
She sat up abruptly, curling up in surprise, simultaneously adopting an attack and defense stance. The other person was clearly frightened as well, staring at her with wide eyes.
Then the group started chattering and making a ruckus.
When Xu Yuehuai finally saw and understood it clearly, she was stunned.
this……
Before him was a large group of macaques, and standing opposite him was an old monkey. The other monkeys were golden brown, but this one was blackish brown.
The monkey suddenly dropped a huge coconut on the ground, covered its ears, and screamed in terror. Immediately afterward, all the monkeys in the cave started screaming.
Immediately flustered and disoriented, Xu Yuehuai's mind went completely blank.
When they looked again, Qi Guze and Wang Ping'an were lying unharmed not far away.
Xu Yuehuai had no idea whether the other party had good or bad intentions. She hurriedly moved closer to Qi Guze and found that Qi Guze's face was rosy and his condition was actually much better than before. She immediately understood.
It turned out that the monkeys had saved them.
Qi Guze opened his eyes at this moment, clearly confused by what was in front of him.
As for Wang Ping'an, he was woken up by Xu Yuehuai kicking him. The three of them stared at each other, and Wang Ping'an cried tears of joy, "Oh, we're saved! We're saved!"
"Saved?" Xu Yuehuai's words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling Wang Ping'an to the bone. "What do you mean by saved or not saved? You are doomed to die."
Wang Ping'an looked miserable. "I'll give you all my money, please be lenient with me."
Don't even think about it.
The two started arguing.
Qi Guze stood up on his own. He carefully looked around and saw that this cave was clearly not the one before, even though there was light outside and shadows of trees.
But the terrain here is low.
And he could hear the clear sound of flowing water and birdsong from time to time. His gaze quickly fell on the big monkey opposite him, which was chattering and scratching its ears and cheeks.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Guze felt a faint aftertaste in his mouth and realized that he had been drinking, but where the alcohol was and under what circumstances he had drunk it were still left unsaid.
Everyone quickly understood.
It turns out that these monkeys had been gathering wild fruits for years. Although the cave was warm in winter and cool in summer, the fruits would eventually spoil. After natural decay and slow fermentation, the fruits produced a fruit wine with a low alcohol content.
The birthplace of that fruit wine is not far away.
The rich aroma attracted the three of them.
Seeing Wang Ping'an's terrified expression, Qi Guze said, "Don't worry, these monkeys won't hurt us. In fact, they saved us. They are our benefactors."
"A benefactor?" Wang Ping'an rubbed his teeth. "These monkeys won't hurt people?"
"Although animals are wild and difficult to tame, I believe these monkeys will not harm us."
At this point, Qi Guze turned around and looked at Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai nodded seriously with an approving expression. Then the three of them sat down on the ground. After a while, the big monkey carefully picked up the coconut again and quickly placed it on the rock in front of them. Qi Guze opened the coconut, and the three of them ate it.
I felt much better after that.
Seeing that the three of them had no intention of harming them, the group of monkeys, led by the big monkey, gradually approached Xu Yuehuai and his companions. Xu Yuehuai was overjoyed and happily greeted the back gate.
But when she reached out to touch the monkey, the troop of monkeys suddenly vanished without a sound, accompanied by their chattering.
Whenever they sat down quietly to chat, the monkeys would surround them from all directions.
Everyone laughed.
In the evening, the macaques would bring food over, which was nothing more than wild fruits, mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, and the like, but these days they were considered delicacies.
After eating, my energy and spirits recovered considerably.
Qi Guze looked up at the sky and almost spontaneously remarked, "I wonder how the outside world is doing."
"The person you contacted must have brought the bad guys to justice," Xu Yuehuai said through gritted teeth. She pointed at the terrified Wang Ping'an, "Tomorrow we'll send Wang Ping'an up there, and you'll be famous all over the world. As for me..."
Xu Yuehuai pointed to herself with her thumb up, "I still want to go to Chang'an."
"Didn't you become famous just like me?"
In fact, Qi Guze had already become famous at the age of thirteen.
At that time, he went to Juyongguan to guard the border. A thirteen-year-old boy was not afraid of wind, frost, rain and snow, nor of any hardship or danger.
In the icy and snowy land of Xiliang, and under the scorching southern sun, he took the lead, eating coarse food with everyone, and never complained.
