Cancan on the tree proudly emerged from the leaves and made a face at Wenwen.
Wenwen gritted her teeth. "If you have the guts, why don't you come down? When you get home, take a scalpel and operate on a little rabbit. Then I'll cut you open and study you to see if you're an ape or a monkey."
When Cancan heard the word "scalpel", he was scared. The sight of the tigress using the scalpel to cut the rabbit was really scary.
Wenwen muttered quietly, "I don't believe I can't cure you, little monkey."
A bright red apple fell from the tree. Wenwen reached out to take it and took a bite. The sweet and juicy apple was so delicious.
Then an apple hit Yu Xunting, and he quickly reached out to catch it. It was really treated differently. Wenwen's apple fell slowly, but his apple hit him hard.
Wenwen called out to the tree, "Cancan, let's eat the apples first before we pick more. We're starving and haven't eaten all day. Let's pick the apples and go home."
Yu Xunting ate the apple in big mouthfuls, "I guess you are the only one in the world who can control Cancan."
"Cancan is very well behaved. No need to worry about him, except for occasionally chasing chickens and dogs around the village. My aunts and sisters-in-law all like Cancan very much, and the children chase him around every day, calling him "Monkey Brother."
This is the typical parental mentality: everything about their own children is good.
He had seen the little monkey bullying the children in the village several times.
Yu Xunting looked at Wenwen who was happily biting an apple, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes and brows. It seemed that she was a mother who doted on her child. He would have to be stricter with their children in the future.
After they finished eating the apples, they asked Cancan to pick apples from the tree, and they picked them under the tree. Soon, a full basket of apples and a full basket of peaches were picked.
Cancan jumped down from the tree. Wenwen held it in her arms and asked, "Did you wash yourself clean in the hot spring?"
Cancan nodded and stretched out his little monkey hand for Wenwen to see. "It's clean. I took a bath in the hot spring right after I came out. Smell it, it smells good."
Wenwen saw that it had indeed regained its golden fur and threw it back onto her shoulder, saying, "You're smart."
She walked to the hot spring, took out a handkerchief, washed her face, and wiped her hair carefully. "I just forgot to wash my face and hands before eating the apple. I don't know how many bacteria I ate."
Yu Xunting also followed him to the hot spring, scooped up the water with his hands and washed his face roughly, and wiped his short hair.
Wenwen wiped her face clean and handed her handkerchief to him to lend him. Before she could say anything, Yu Xunting had already finished washing her hand while her hand was in the air.
Yu Xunting wiped the water off her face with her hand. Well, it's okay for men to be a little rough. She put the handkerchief back into her trouser pocket.
They picked some fresh wild vegetables and spread them on top of the basket so that others could not tell that they were carrying fruit.
As the night deepens, the breeze blows gently, and the leaves rustle, as if it is the sound of nature whispering. In the distance, the unique chirping of birds at night adds a quiet and mysterious atmosphere.
Wenwen had been in and out of the valley countless times, but had never been on the mountain at night. However, she didn't feel scared today because Yu Xunting was with her.
Today we also learned about Cancan’s other identity, which is that he is most likely a mountain-guarding ape. We are even less afraid of him. No wonder every time Cancan accompanies us into the mountains, the wild beasts nearby dare not approach.
When they arrived home, their family members were already looking forward to it. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were home safely and soundly.
Yu Baitian scolded his grandson, "Don't you know your family will be worried? Why didn't you bring Wenwen back earlier when you went into the mountains?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuelian patted her daughter on the back and said to Yu Baitian, "Uncle Yu, don't scold Xun Ting. It must be Wenwen, the naughty girl, who refused to come back early. There's no way Xun Ting can get away with it."
Wenwen quickly stepped forward to support Yu Baitian, "Grandpa, we were delayed a little bit by something. Don't worry, my cousin is so good, he will definitely be able to protect me."
Wenwen whispered in Yu Baitian's ear, "Grandpa, we have something important to discuss with you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Yu Baitian glanced at the two of them and knew what important thing they had encountered on the mountain. Since it was not appropriate to talk about it in front of others, he did not ask.
Cancan on the other side saw Xiao Jiaolan and jumped onto her shoulders happily.
Xiao Jiaolan took it down and threw it aside, pouting and saying, "Huh, I asked you to take me to the valley, but you refused. Why can Brother Yu take me?"
Cancan danced with joy, "I don't want to take him with me. She's a tigress and she insists on letting her mate go. What can I do?"
Xiao Jiaolan stomped her feet angrily, "I don't care, you will never be my best friend again, I'm angry."
Cancan rummaged through the backpack next to him and picked out the biggest red apple. He quickly jumped onto Xiao Jiaolan's shoulder and handed it to her.
Xiao Jiaolan looked at the big apple, which was almost as big as Cancan. She found it incredible that it could jump onto her shoulder holding the apple. She was not really angry, she just wanted to tease the little monkey.
"Since you are so sincere, I will forgive you this time. Don't do this again in the future, and take me with you next time."
Seeing that Xiao Jiaolan was not angry, Cancan pretended not to hear anything and ran to Chen Yuelian to act coquettishly.
After dinner, several old men sat in the reception room waiting for Wenwen and Yuxunting.
Yu Xunting concisely and forcefully told the old men about his discoveries in the valley.
"Originally, the two of us wanted to stay in the valley and return after finding some clues, but we thought our families would be worried, so we decided to come back and tell you first. We will go into the valley tomorrow."
Yu Baitian glared at his grandson and said, "If you don't come back today, the whole village will go into the mountains to look for you."
Yu Xunting touched his nose and said, "That secret room is very mysterious. Since the Japanese attach so much importance to this matter, we think there may be some secrets hidden in it, so we must find it as soon as possible."
He Hongchi stroked his beard and said, "It can actually make people fall into an illusion."
Wenwen nodded. "Master, I've been attacked before, but I didn't even notice it. I tried so hard to stay calm, but I was still so frightened I lost my composure. If Cancan and the others hadn't woken me up, I would have gone completely mad."
He Hongchi flexed his fingers and tapped the armrest of the chair, "Go and call Cancan."
"If Cancan is really the spirit ape raised by the Taoist, what means did he use to make Cancan so small? And what method did he use to make Cancan a living antidote?" He Hongchi's mind was full of questions.
Cancan walked into the living room and jumped onto the coffee table, his head full of questions. What was he looking for it for?
He Hongchi picked up Cancan and put it under his nose to sniff.
The little monkey didn't dare to resist and could only let him do what he wanted.
After a long while, Wenwen saw He Hongchi put Cancan down and asked hurriedly, "Master, what did you find?"
He Hongchi shook his head. "It's impossible to detect it this way. I remember reading in an ancient book that some wizards from other races would cultivate medicine men."
Wenwen exclaimed, "Medicine man?"
