Chapter 156 [Entering the Mountains]
When everyone heard that a one-and-a-half-year-old child was going into the mountains to fight those monkeys, they quickly advised him, "Little brother, you must not go into the mountains now!"
"If we don't go into the mountains now, there's no way to rescue Old Zhao and Uncle Yu who are surrounded by monkeys!"
Master Liao's words were well-founded: "I have been instructed by masters since I was young and can calculate directions. If we are trapped in the mountains, I can also lead everyone to find the way."
The villagers had heard about the little prodigy's magical powers from the new villagers who were staying in their homes, and now they looked hesitant.
There was no time to hesitate. Jiang Lili said decisively, "Go get two changes of clothes first. I'll have Eagle deliver them to scare off those monkeys first."
If the other female eagle Shuoyue was also there, the two eagles could work together and perhaps drive away the monkeys.
They didn't have to go into the mountains. There was only one eagle now, and those monkeys who claimed to be the kings of the mountains were not afraid at all.
The monkeys traveled in groups and, relying on their familiarity with the terrain of the mountains, they were not even afraid of eagles. Jiang Lili saw a small bald spot on Liefeng's wings, which was the hair plucked by the naughty monkeys.
Jiang Lili said to the worried-looking Grandma Zheng, "Grandma Zheng, how long will it take for it to rain?"
Granny Zheng spoke to the village chief in her local dialect, and the village chief relayed it to Jiang Lili: "Granny said it's hard to predict, it could rain in half an hour at the earliest."
Half an hour, which is an hour, is enough to get out if you move quickly. If you are trapped in the mountains, you can still use your backpack.
While the villagers were going back to get their clothes, Jiang Lili asked Liefeng to go find Xin Che, Xin Cheng and the others first.
Jiang Lili sent a private message to Master Liao. Master Liao, a usually calm man, was actually going into the mountains to hunt the monkeys at this time. It was unclear whether he had a plan or was influenced by the child's body: "Master Liao, are you really going into the mountains to seek revenge on the monkeys now? Have you really thought it through?"
@Liao Ji: I've thought it through! These beasts are becoming increasingly rampant. I have a feeling we need to take this opportunity to teach them a lesson! Otherwise, they'll come down the mountain to cause trouble and disrupt villagers' access to the mountains. Furthermore, conquering these monkeys means we've secured a place in the mountain ecosystem, and other beasts won't dare to mess with us.
These monkeys are not the ones in the zoo. They are wild and rampant. It is time for them to accept the beating from society.
Jiang Lili said to the villagers, "How about this? My husband, my second brother, and I will go into the mountains, and you will meet us outside."
The village chief was worried when he heard this: "How can we do this? How can we just watch you fall into danger?"
Jiang Lili thought to herself that it was dangerous to let the old villagers go up the mountain.
She, Master Liao, Xin Che and the others went into the mountains as one family. If they encountered danger, she could use her skills at any time to get out the weapons.
If so many villagers went up the mountain, it would be difficult for her to cheat because of the large number of people and eyes.
Moreover, if it rains heavily when we go into the mountains this time, we can just see which places in the mountains will not be affected by the heavy rain under such harsh conditions.
Such a place that can shelter from wind and rain is suitable for them to live in the mountains for a long time. It will be marked as a base for placing mobile houses in the future.
Master Liao’s family background can be put to good use in modern times. It’s still great that the descendant of a Feng Shui family can help you find a place or a house for free.
Jiang Lili reassured the villagers: "We have brought signal fireworks and horns. If there is any danger, we will set off fireworks or blow the horns."
"Three blasts on the horn indicate safety, while a short blast indicates danger. Blue fireworks represent safety, while red fireworks indicate danger and need rescue."
Village chief Li Zhan said solemnly, "Okay, we'll take note of it."
"Miss Jiang, Dabao, and your family will never forget the kindness you have shown us in Yeli Village!"
They were originally afraid that the new villagers would have evil intentions like the fisherman saved by the previous village chief, but they still chose to take a gamble.
Because if they didn't gamble, their village would be completely ruined. Now it seems that they made the right gamble.
It is so noble to risk your life to save people in the mountains on rainy days!
After a while, Xin Che and Xin Cheng Zhaoping Hou hurried over. Jiang Lili briefly explained the current situation, and everyone was ready to go into the mountains.
Marquis Zhaoping glanced at the vast mountains. When they fought against the enemy in the past, they often went into the mountains on rainy days. Such conditions were no longer unfamiliar to them. What's more, there were only people waiting for them to rescue in the mountains now, and there were no enemy ambushes.
The villagers who went back to get their clothes handed the package containing the clothes to Xin Cheng.
The group didn't waste any time and went into the mountains with the map given by the village chief.
The mountains on Haizhou Island are just like Qinglin Mountain. Plants are densely packed here, and you can see lush green everywhere you look. From time to time, you can hear the rustling of insects.
Not long after Jiang Lili entered the mountain, she felt that the ground under her feet became softer. It was probably going to rain, and the soil began to become damp.
Jiang Lili walked behind Xin Cheng, while Zhaoping Hou and Xin Cheng walked on her sides respectively.
Xin Che took out a rope and tied it around his wrist, then placed the other end of the rope in Jiang Lili's hand. "The soil in the mountains is getting damp, so it's easy to slip. Hold on to me."
This kind of soft soil sometimes sinks easily.
"good."
Jiang Lili followed Xin Che's example and tied the other end of the rope to her own hand.
The two of them had a tacit understanding with each other. After tying the rope, they moved much faster.
Because Liao Dabao's legs were too short and he walked slowly, Xin Cheng carried him on his shoulders and took him away.
Led by Liefeng, after walking on the mountain for a quarter of an hour, the five people quickly found the group of monkeys that were besieging the villagers.
The five of them kept calm and observed first.
Jiang Lili untied the rope in her hand. She would need it to go down the mountain later. She tied the dragged part into a bow on Xin Che's hand.
Five people hid behind the bushes, and opposite them, a group of monkeys with messy fur surrounded a huge rock with a vicious look on their faces. A series of threatening sounds came out of the monkeys' mouths, which was a bit creepy.
Two villagers, Lao Zhao and Lao Yu, were huddled on a huge rock. They were wearing the clothes brought by Liefeng and holding sickles and hoes in their hands.
Whenever a monkey tried to climb up, they would use weapons to push it down.
They did not dare to kill the monkeys. If they killed one monkey, they would become enemies with the entire monkey population on the mountain.
The monkeys did not act rashly at this time, but the atmosphere around them was full of conspiracy. It was obvious that these monkeys were waiting for an opportunity to rush up and besiege the two of them.
Jiang Lili thought that these primates were really smart. The monkeys she saw in modern zoos also had a strong ability to learn and imitate.
Jiang Lili felt that the reason they did not evolve further was because they were smart enough to know that if they evolved further they would have to go to school and work.
“Ding ding ding—”
At this time, Jiang Lili's QQ message rang.
