Chapter 141
Fu Le felt relieved. It was already very late, so he decided to set up camp.
After setting up the tent, the generator, heating equipment, and so on, it was already dark.
As the campfire flickered, its warm light dispelled the cold and the gloom of the forest.
After taking a few sips of hot milk to calm himself down, Fu Le exhaled a breath of cold air and put on the baking tray, barbecue grill, and metal skewers with handles.
Arm-length shrimp and squid tentacles reappeared on the table. After being cleaned, they were brushed with olive oil, honey, chili oil, and sprinkled with cumin. Soon, the seafood on the skewers emitted an irresistible aroma.
His stomach rumbled in protest, but thankfully, it didn't need to be grilled for too long. Fu Le picked up the iron skewer, "Ouch, hiss..." It was burning hot, but he couldn't bear to spit it out. It was delicious, so delicious.
Her barbecue skills are getting better and better, mmm... delicious... whew... delicious...
One bite after another, I couldn't stop eating it, it's so tender and bouncy...
Whoosh whoosh...
There's a sound coming from here!
Fu Le paused, took a bite of the last piece of shrimp meat from the skewer, then put the grilled shrimp meat away. He placed the mortar beside him, ready to use it at any time.
'Rustling sound...'
'Whoosh whoosh whoosh…'
Some small animals are coming.
This time, Fu Le could roughly make out that the noise wasn't made by any large animal.
Seconds later, furry little faces appeared in the firelight.
Fu Le: ...
They're monkeys! One, two, three... more than a dozen.
What kind of monkey is this? It has blood-red eyes as beautiful as glass beads, golden fur on its head, red hair on its head, black body, and white fur on its paws, like a dog's snow-covered toes.
The monkeys all stared at her barbecue grill, and some even drooled.
Fu Le: ...
Was it her barbecue that attracted you?
Fu Le took out the hot, roasted shrimp meat.
"Squeak squeak squeak..." Sure enough, a monkey got excited! It took a few steps forward and made anxious noises.
Now, Fu Le could see the monkey's full appearance. Its tail was so short, was it even ten centimeters long?
Is this really a monkey?
"Want some? Come here, here you go." Fu Le took out an iron basin, threw in three pieces of shrimp, and pushed the plate forward.
'Squeak squeak squeak...' Sure enough, whoosh whoosh... bang...
The pot overturned, and the meat was gone.
"Squeak squeak squeak..." A dozen or so monkeys scrambled together, taking bites from each other, and soon the food was gone.
This made Fu Le laugh heartily. After confirming there was no danger, he put away the mortar, took a one-meter-long squid tentacle, and began to slice it.
The monkeys watched Fu Le busy herself and stared at her every move.
After eating her grilled shrimp, the monkeys seemed to have lost their previous fear and apprehension. Some even took a few more steps forward, getting closer to Fu Le.
Fu Le didn't bother washing the monkeys; he cut them into arm-length pieces, then scored them with decorative cuts before putting them on the grill.
Since he had nothing else to do, Fu Le was happy to spend time with the little ones. He took out four barbecue grills, lit four bonfires, and started grilling.
In an instant, the aroma of meat around Fu Le grew stronger and stronger, making the monkeys squeal and squeal as if they knew it was for them to roast. As they squealed and squealed, they stopped being so reserved and moved closer to Fu Le, humming and whimpering.
Needless to say, that humming is definitely urging them on.
"Haha... Little gluttons, come on, come on, eat while it's hot!" The food for the monkeys wasn't brushed with chili oil, but the honey and cumin blended with the fresh aroma of the food, making it incredibly delicious.
The little monkeys complained that Fu Le was too slow, and even started turning the tongs on the grill themselves, perfectly replicating Fu Le's flipping motion.
Fu Le was amused again, and his movements of cutting the meat with decorative cuts became even faster.
Before she knew it, more and more monkeys were appearing around her. Some monkeys quietly left, and others joined them again. Fu Le saw this but didn't pay any attention. One squid would probably be enough to kill the monkeys, so she didn't care at all, since she had a huge supply of squid.
Among the monkey troop, even large monkeys have begun to appear. They are clearly adults or leaders of the troop. The "large" here means slightly larger, less than forty centimeters tall, with thicker limbs.
The work went on until midnight. Fu Le was exhausted, and the monkeys had almost finished eating. "Monkeys," he said, "I need to sleep now. Would you like to keep watch for me? Those who keep watch will get fruit for me tomorrow morning."
Whether or not Fu Le understood what he said, four large monkeys stayed behind. They squatted about a meter away from Fu Le's tent, staring into the depths of the forest. Their serious expressions made it clear that they were on guard duty.
"Wow, Monkey King, you guys really understood me! That's amazing! My safety is in your hands now. I'm going to sleep."
Fu Le entered the tent and fell asleep immediately.
As the sky turned white, a cacophony of sounds came from outside Fu Le's tent—birds chirping and monkeys chattering.
With a rustling sound, Fu Le pulled down the tent zipper, and several red-faced monkeys appeared outside the tent, peeking out and grinning from ear to ear. Then they pointed excitedly in a certain direction, scratching their ears and cheeks in a great hurry.
"Good morning, monkeys." She's going to stay here for a year, and it wouldn't be a bad idea if she could just stay with the monkeys the whole time.
'Squeak squeak squeak...' The big monkey guarding the gate was gone, and a new big monkey appeared, its red fur on its head particularly bright and beautiful.
Two large monkeys approached, tugged at Fu Le's sleeve, and pointed behind him. This time, Fu Le saw piles of grass, flowers, fruits, and even mushrooms and lingzhi mushrooms on the ground.
Fu Le poked his head out of the tent in surprise. "Is this your payment to me?"
"Squeak squeak squeak..." The monkeys responded, well, I couldn't understand it, but let's just take it as their approval.
Receiving a gift so early in the morning, Fu Le was naturally delighted. He stepped forward and picked up a pink, fist-sized fruit. 'Lanlan Fruit, increases speed, level three spirit fruit.'
Fu Le: !!!
Wild indigo, repairs damage to the meridians.
'Hypopus japonicus, repairs meridian damage.'
"Blue Ganoderma lucidum is best for nourishing the dantian."
...
Fu Le examined each type one by one, categorizing and organizing them before setting them aside. After the monkeys understood, they even helped with the categorization, a move that astonished Fu Le.
There were more than twenty monkeys, bustling about. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were her pets. But upon closer inspection, you'd realize that the big monkey was directing them.
Fu Le's eyes lit up. What a clever monkey!
While the monkeys were busy, Fu Le started a fire to roast meat. The morning, filled with smoke and fire, passed quickly. With many monkeys, there was plenty of strength. The spiritual plants were quickly sorted, and after placing several large basins of roasted fish and octopus, he went to collect the spiritual plants, while the monkeys bared their teeth and began to snatch the food.
What Fu Le didn't notice was that when she put the spiritual plant into her ring space, the big monkey stared at her thoughtfully.
Seeing that the monkeys had almost finished eating, Fu Le brought out a giant banana from the Giant World that was over five meters long and fifty centimeters in diameter. Fu Le cut it into small pieces and put it in a bowl, leaving the monkeys watching in awe.
"Eat up, I'm going to take a stroll in the forest after I'm full. I want to pick some more spiritual plants." Fu Le patted the little monkey's head, and the monkey squinted its eyes and hummed happily.
Fu Le's words had an effect, and the monkeys went back to eating the bananas.
The lead monkey ate a large piece, then stopped eating, walked to Fu Le's feet, hugged her leg, and pointed in a certain direction.
Fu Le glanced at the other monkeys who were still working hard, and walked toward the place the big monkey pointed to. The big monkey saw that Fu Le understood and immediately led the way.
Along the way, Fu Le would pick familiar spiritual plants whenever she saw them; these were all given to her by the monkeys.
After walking for about half an hour, Fu Le was brought to the vicinity of a mountain valley. There was a lake below, fed by a stream that was more than a meter wide. Many small animals were drinking water by the lake.
'Squeak squeak squeak...' Following the direction of the big monkey, Fu Le saw many nest-like haystacks in the forest in the ravine, and monkeys were on the branches of the trees.
this……
Fu Le was stunned. Was he taking her home?
"Your home?" Fu Le stared at the monkey and asked in surprise.
"Squeak squeak squeak..." The big monkey patted its chest, nodded, and grinned, looking very happy. Several little monkeys followed and circled around Fu Le, squeaking.
Fish leaped and swam across the lake, creating sparkling splashes. The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, lake, and grazing animals together formed a beautiful picture.
"Monkey, can I live here?"
'Squeak squeak squeak...'
Fu Le moved quickly, thinking it was a sure thing. There was water, fish, and monkeys guarding the place. It was safe, and he had company. How wonderful!
With so many fish, grilling them for the monkeys would be a good idea.
After Fu Le settled into his 'home', the big monkey brought over a U-shaped plant leaf shaped like a wine glass, filled with a clear, fragrant liquid.
"Squeak..." The big monkey made a drinking motion and then handed the small plant cup to Fu Le.
Fu Le brought it over, smelled it, and noticed a fruity aroma. He wondered if it was dew mixed with fruit juice, then tilted his head back and drank it.
The cool juice slid down my throat, mmm...so comforting, fragrant, delicious, I want more.
Thump...
Fu Le collapsed onto the bed and started snoring, "Huff huff huff huff..."
Monkeys: !!!
Big Monkey: !!!
The little monkeys screamed around Fu Le, while the big monkey climbed onto Fu Le's head and tugged at her hair and clothes, but nothing happened.
Little monkeys: !!!
"Squeak squeak squeak..." The monkeys that had eaten Fu Le's meat seemed to be very angry, squeaking and making noise around the big monkey.
The big monkey looked guilty and then ran away, making the little monkeys that were guarding Fu Le squeak again in anger.
So warm... mmm... feels so good...
Fu Le felt as if she had slept for a long time, feeling comfortable and light as if she could fly. She even saw the internal energy flowing automatically within her body, and the acupoint in her dantian had grown to the size of a soybean.
When Fu Le woke up, it was still broad daylight, and he saw a bunch of anxious monkey faces in his line of sight.
Fu Le got up, and a bold monkey jumped into her arms, chattering and waving its paws at her, as if checking her body.
Fu Le noticed that the little monkeys who had been eating breakfast had all returned, and there were more monkeys around him again.
At this moment, Fu Le was unaware that he had slept for a day and a night, and this was the next daytime.
"Hungry? I'll grill some meat for you. Here, have some animal milk first." Fu Le took out a large basin and poured milk into it in large gulps.
Fu Le prepared four large aluminum basins, each a meter in diameter, and filled them with snow-white milk. The monkeys immediately jumped over and began to drink. More and more monkeys joined in through the forest: thirty, forty, fifty…
Fu Le: ...
The number of monkeys kept increasing, and Fu Le couldn't count them all. She estimated there were probably two or three hundred or so. She had entered the monkey mountain.
After more than thirty bowls of milk were poured out, the monkeys finally stopped squeaking and begging for milk.
Alright, no need for barbecue anymore, I'm full.
The monkeys were drunk on milk and lay all over the mountains and fields.
Fu Le was somewhat at a loss for words...
Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well go fishing!
This fishing net was obtained from the Forgotten Land. It can emit sound waves to attract fish within a hundred meters. I didn't expect to use it so soon.
Fu Le filled about ten red plastic buckets with fish, saying, "Green Ghost Fish, eating them can clear away vascular ailments."
Fu Le: !!!
These things from another world are truly amazing! Why was she born in such an ordinary place as Earth? What's wrong with these other worlds?
"Why is there only one kind of fish?" The Blue Ghost Fish, true to its name, looks like a miniature shark, with black skin and two rows of sharp teeth that could chew up any stone thrown at it.
Fu Le was silent for a moment, then put the bucket into his spatial storage. When he came out a few minutes later, the fish had turned into dead fish.
Fu Le grinned, "You little punks, you think you can't handle mere fish? Humph!"
There are so many fish in this lake, they are densely packed together, and at first glance, they look like black tadpoles.
"Look how crowded you all are! Let me help you tidy up. Tsk tsk... Poor thing... So many brothers and sisters crammed together, you can't even stretch out to swim, can you? Oh dear, so pitiful..."
Fu Le took out her super-large aluminum bucket, placed it on the shore, and started fishing like crazy.
From morning till night, the monkeys woke up, and Fu Le finally put away the net. Inside the space, the four large aluminum buckets were full of blue devil fish.
As night fell, the leader of the monkey troop also appeared. He was nearly 1.5 meters tall and was a large monkey with red fur all over his body. His gait was already resembling that of a human. There was also a female monkey, a size smaller than the leader, who obediently followed behind him.
As Fu Le got closer, he noticed that the monkey king had a vine wrapped around its waist with five water pouches hanging from it.
Monkey King waved to Fu Le as a greeting.
Fu Le: ...Who did you learn from?
Then, the Monkey King took off a water pouch from his waist and handed it to Fu Le, then made a drinking motion. His calm and composed demeanor made him seem like a decisive person.
"Let me drink?" Fu Le asked, and the Monkey King nodded.
Wow, it can actually understand what she's saying! But monkeys are smart, so it's normal that it can understand.
Fu Le took out his ceramic water cup, poured himself a glass, and sniffed it. Sure enough, it was the juice that the big monkey had brought during the day. Was it a bar? The legendary monkey wine?
