Zhao Xiaoxiu clapped her hands in satisfaction, arranged for Xiaofeixia, and then hurriedly returned to her doorstep to hand over the suspension board for Dongfang Ling to install the awning materials.
Five hundred pounds of material isn't much in weight, but it covers a large area, making it difficult to fully lower the small suspension board.
Dongfang Ling had no choice but to first build a relatively wide base using the canopy frame, and then pile the materials on top.
"Dad, can I go out with Sister Monkey for a while?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked loudly, looking up at the building.
Zhao Gang peeked out from behind the wall, glanced at the floating platform piled with materials, then looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu's expectant face, frowned slightly and instructed, "Don't leave the planting area."
That means you agree!
Zhao Xiaoxiu felt a surge of excitement and quickly nodded, "Yes, we won't leave the planting area."
As he spoke, he waved to the back of the house, and a macaque that had been hiding there spying on the strangers immediately jumped out happily.
Dongfang Ling was completely taken aback and was startled.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiaoxiu's explanation came first, otherwise the gun on her shoulder would have been taken down.
"This is an evolved macaque, Sister Monkey. We'll take you back together, so you don't need to bother bringing the hoverboard back to me," Zhao Xiaoxiu explained with a smile. She then picked up Sister Monkey's paw and waved it amicably at Dongfang Ling.
The macaque also gave Zhao Xiaoxiu face, baring its teeth in a friendly manner and trying its best to make a human 'smile' expression.
"An evolved macaque?" Dongfang Ling was greatly surprised when he saw the brown-gold monkey in front of him, which was about the same height as him when it stood up and much stronger.
So this is the rare evolved animal that everyone talks about. It seems to be able to understand human speech, so it must be very intelligent.
"Don't worry, Sister Dongfang. Monkey is very well-behaved and gentle. It won't hurt you," Zhao Xiaoxiu tried to explain.
Dongfang Ling nodded slightly. "Let's go."
So the man and the monkey jumped onto the floating platform filled with materials and grinned at her.
Dongfang Ling was speechless and wanted to laugh at the same time. He tried his best to keep his expression in check and looked the macaque over again. Seeing that it exuded a calm aura, he then took the rope of the hoverboard and led the cart full of goods, people and monkeys home.
Dongfang Ling was a man of few words, and he had even less to say to Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was just a child.
She remained silent the whole way, but the suspension board was pulled very steadily.
Zhao Xiaoxiu, with her arm around Monkey Sister's furry arm, sat on the hoverboard, feeling very curious. She pointed to the other territories around them and enthusiastically introduced them to Monkey Sister:
"To the right is Territory Number Eight. We need the lord's permission before entering other territories. Sister Monkey, you must remember that, or you'll be treated as an enemy by other lords."
"This large area on the left is our land, it's 300 acres! Once we plant crops all over it, we'll never have to worry about food again. We can eat whatever we want, as much as we want."
"Look, we've reached a fork in the road. Going west leads to the entrance to the planting area..."
A small, half-collapsed bungalow appeared in front of them. Zhao Xiaoxiu solemnly introduced, "We've arrived at Sister Dongfang Ling's Territory No. 12. It's right across from our Territory No. 13, not too far, right?"
Monkey Sister nodded in agreement, jumped off the hoverboard, and ran to Territory No. 12 first. She looked at the number plate standing by the roadside, then raised her paw to cover her eyes and observed the small bungalow not far away.
After finishing, he waved dismissively at Zhao Xiaoxiu, who arrived later, pointed to the bungalow, then to the multi-story building on plot number 13, indicating that their house was still the best.
Zhao Xiaoxiu chuckled and quickly glanced at Dongfang Ling. Seeing that she had only glanced at Sister Monkey and hadn't understood what it meant, she gave her a guilty smile.
Dongfang Ling looked at the gesturing monkey sister with suspicion and asked, "What did it say?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu: "Sister Monkey said our territories have different terrains."
Dongfang Ling: "Oh, come in."
She didn't urge Zhao Xiaoxiu to get off the hoverboard, but instead led her, cautiously running around exploring the new place, to the doorstep of the evolved macaque.
Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly got off the floating platform and stood obediently in the corridor, waiting for Dongfang Ling to unload all the materials.
Monkey Sister walked around the front and back of the house and came back to tell Zhao Xiaoxiu that there was a small pond behind the house, and there were lots and lots of fish that could be eaten.
Zhao Xiaoxiu's heart stirred, and she was about to take a look when Dongfang Ling stopped her.
"Wild fruits picked from the mountains, would you like some?" She brought out a bowl of low-grade mutated green dates and handed it to Zhao Xiaoxiu.
"Thank you, sister." Zhao Xiaoxiu politely took two, one for herself and one for Sister Monkey.
The monkey sister picked it up and put it in her mouth. She chewed it and spat out a pit in less than two seconds.
It didn't discard the kernel; seeing that Zhao Xiaoxiu had a pocket on her shirt, it opened it, stuffed the kernel inside, and even patted it.
Collect it; you can take it home and plant it.
Zhao Xiaoxiu asked in surprise, "Can it be planted?"
Sister Monkey nodded her head, indicating that it was okay.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was overjoyed. She finished her mutated green jujube, which was sour and astringent but very appetizing, and carefully kept the seeds, putting them in her pocket.
Dongfang Ling couldn't understand what the child and the monkey were talking about, so he left the green dates behind, put a stool under the eaves, and went off to do his work.
The evolved humans have improved in all aspects, but their evolutionary abilities are even more outstanding. Dongfang Ling doesn't look very strong, but he is quite strong at carrying and unloading goods.
She quietly and carefully unloaded the materials from the floating platform. From time to time, the laughter and exclamations of children, as well as the excited squeaking of monkeys, could be heard from the corridor in front of the house behind her.
Dongfang Ling wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead, turned around and looked down at the corridor, suddenly feeling that the sun was warm and cozy today.
The child didn't cause any trouble or run around on other people's property. He wanted to see the fish pond, so he ran over to ask her for permission before going over.
After watching for about five minutes, he immediately ran back and whispered to the macaque like a little adult:
"Let's catch some more small fish to take home and raise. If we can't finish them all when they grow up, we can smoke them into dried fish. Once the potatoes are planted, we can cook dried fish with mashed potatoes. How delicious that would be!"
As Dongfang Ling listened to this wonderful vision, he could almost smell the rich aroma of food and couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Do you want me to take you back?" Dongfang Ling asked, still a little worried, after unloading the goods and returning the suspension board to Zhao Xiaoxiu.
Zhao Xiaoxiu waved her hand, "No need, no need. I'm going to catch small fish upstream with Sister Monkey. Sister Dongfang, you don't need to see me off."
Zhao Xiaoxiu gestured for Sister Monkey to bring over the hoverboard, then climbed up and sat down. With a wave of her little hand, as if piloting a battle chariot, she shouted, "Charge!"
Monkey Sister looked at her with utter affection, and under Dongfang Ling's trembling gaze, she grabbed the hoverboard and ran off at full speed.
A strong wind rushed towards her, and Zhao Xiaoxiu screamed as she quickly reached out to hold down her little red hat, which was about to fly off her head.
Soon, the girl's excited screams echoed throughout the entire planting area.
Dongfang Ling felt he must be crazy to find something interesting about such terrifying creatures as children.
