Chapter 140, Monkey

100,000 rewards for a monkey's life, it's quite funny to say.

"What can Mr. Tang profit from this?"

I asked. Mr. Tang is also a businessman, he won't do anything without any benefits, there must be benefits in this matter, the 100,000 yuan is a lot of money in the eyes of me and the fat man, but in his eyes it is insignificant. I definitely wouldn't come for the 100,000 bounty, I guess it was the monkey itself that had some special value.

"Mr. Tang didn't say this, but he instructed us to capture us alive, and even if we can't capture them alive, we should leave the whole body. Hehe, there must be some treasure on this thing, you check it first, and we can ask Mr. Tang for money when we go back. ”

The fat man's meaning is very clear, we can't help Mr. Tang work for nothing, and the rules he set with us before also clearly stated that the captured earth beasts and monsters will be sold by Mr. Tang in a unified way, and the money will be opened in half. Although it can't be said that you don't trust Mr. Tang, it's better to have a price in your heart for the things you sell, so as not to be cheated. We don't have the heart to hurt others, but we can't leave behind the heart of guarding against people.

The photos in my hand were taken by a photographer who drove to collect wind at night when the monkeys entered Shanghai, but most of them were dark and could not be seen clearly, and the clearest one of them only took a back. The body is a little bent, which is the same as other monkeys, the arms are very long, definitely above the knees, and you can see very strong muscles, and the purple hair on the head is not visible.

"I'll check it first, have the others figured out what it came all about?"

I asked.

"It's said to be called a monkey, look at your book to see if there is any record of the monkey. ”

I nodded to the fat man and walked into my room with the information. Sitting on the edge of the bed and looking down to read "Mountain Monsters", there is indeed a record in the book that some monkeys are turned into spirits, and some are earth beasts. But unlike our Monkey King, monkeys are generally very intelligent after becoming sperm, and their strength is more powerful than ordinary beasts, they have an IQ no less than that of humans, and even more cunning than humans. Bloodthirsty and very vindictive. But I compared some of the monkeys mentioned in "Strange Tales of the Mountains", but I didn't find any monkeys called Yu monkeys, and the several monkeys mentioned in them did not have purple hair on their heads, the closest one is called the face monkey, which is about the same size as a normal man, very vicious, and will sneak up on the hunters in the mountains, tearing off the skin of these hunters and sticking them on their faces. Then put on the hunter's clothes and go back to the village, which looks like a normal person to outsiders, but at night he will attack and kill all the people in the village. Because it uses the human face as a cover, it is called a face monkey. But its signature feature is a pinch of golden retrievers on its head.

This is also different from the so-called monkey, I scratched my head, it seems that it is impossible to find out the weakness of this monkey simply by relying on "Strange Tales of the Mountains". After thinking about it, I decided to go to Mr. Xu's house in a few days and borrow his study to check the information.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the fat man knocked on the door gently, and I turned around and shouted, "What's wrong?"

He pushed open the door and walked in with a smile and said, "Someone has come to see you." ”

"Look at me?"

I was stunned and asked strangely.

"Hehe, it's a beauty. ”

Hearing him say this, I thought of Yudie for no reason, could it be that she came to see me? For some reason, I was so excited that a fire burned and I suddenly got up from my chair.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the fat man smiled and stepped aside, and Shen Mengtian, who was dressed in white, walked out and nodded at me.

There was a little loss in my heart, and the person I wanted to see didn't come, but I still grinned and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"Haha, I see you still going out for a walk, I see that there seems to be a pastry shop on the street in front of you, or you will go there to buy a cake for a long time. ”

The fat guy doesn't know what's wrong, he is so desperate, I just wanted to refuse but I heard Shen Mengtian nod and said, "Okay, I can do it." ”

"Look, the girls have agreed, don't go out quickly. Haha, chopping wood is not a knife sharpener, go ahead!"

Just like that, Shen Mengtian and I went out.

The weather was a little hot, Shen Mengtian was wearing a white dress with lace sleeves, a good-looking sun hat, and a little light makeup, her hair should be coiled, but a strand of hair hung down gently and stuck to her cheeks, her head was slightly lowered, and her cheeks were a little red.

To be honest, this girl is very good-looking, and she is dressed up in fashion, but this time I have someone in my heart, secondly, I haven't thought about it at all, and thirdly, I was very young at that time, and I don't know much about this fact, I just feel troublesome, so I don't think about it at all.

Walking in the sun, the greenery passes overhead, looking up at the bright sun, and the noise of the city can be heard in your ears. On the street, the cake shop at that time was not as well-decorated as it is now, it was relatively clean, the glass door, the cake in the counter was not made of cream, and most of the raw materials were Mai Lisu, which did not taste my appetite. And there are not many patterns, but the sizes are different. But despite this, cake was still a luxury at that time.

"How much?"

I asked.

"The small one is five dollars a piece. ”

The clerk is quite polite, because usually the people who come to buy cakes are the owners who have some money, and I feel a little heartache when I hear this price, although a thing that is not very delicious, and it costs five yuan to swallow it in two bites! I can fry two pots of vegetables at Boss Song's place for five yuan! But after all, there is a girl next to me, and I have to be generous anyway, so even if there is some pain, I still gritted my teeth and was ready to pay for it. However, the embarrassment is that I reached into my pocket and touched it, and I was so anxious that I forgot to bring money, and there were a total of two banknotes in my pocket, as well as a few food stamps!

"Holy shit, I forgot to bring the money. ”

I scolded embarrassedly in my heart, I didn't dare to stretch out my hand in my pocket, and I was embarrassed at the moment after seeing some life and death scenes, and my face turned blue with embarrassment.

The clerk probably also saw that I had no money, and his demeanor immediately changed, and he said angrily: "If you don't have any money, you can go back and get it." ”

I pursed my lips, and when I was about to speak, Shen Mengtian next to me smiled and took out a ten-yuan piece from his bag and handed it over, saying with a smile: "I want two." ”

At that time, the salary of teachers was not high, basically about thirty or forty yuan a month. That is, these two cakes cost her one-third of her salary. I'm a big man who actually asked my sister to pay for it, and I couldn't hold it on my face immediately.

"Wrap it up for you, and finally eat it today, otherwise it will be easy to spoil. ”

The clerk accepted the money and immediately became polite, Shen Mengtian smiled with the cake and walked out. When I went out, I heard the clerk behind me muttering, "This girl is beautiful and rich, how did she find such a person." ”

Out of the cake shop, next to it is a soda stand, at that time bottles of soda were more expensive, some bosses came up with the idea, using bottles of soda mixed with ice water to make the so-called ice soda, sold cheaply, the taste is not particularly bad, and the cold and cold ones sell particularly well in summer. Generally, there will be a few tables and chairs next to this kind of stall, which is a place that young couples especially like to go to, sit down to drink soda and chat about love.

I haven't been to this place with the fat man, and I haven't even noticed that there is a soda stand here, and behind it is a particularly large camphor tree, and there are two couples sitting on chairs, which looks quite ambiguous, and one of them actually hugs and hugs in public.

We passed by the soda stall in front, in fact, I didn't want to stop at all, but after walking for a while, I saw that Shen Mengtian was already sweating a little, and his lips looked a little dry, probably thirsty. I frowned, thought for a moment, walked up and said, "Boss, give me two bottles of soda." ”

This kind of stall also uses soda bottles, but after drinking it to return to the boss, he threw away the straw, and kept the bottle to be washed and filled with a bottle, not to mention unhygienic, which is the same as the dishes and chopsticks in the restaurant.

"Okay. It's five cents in total. ”

He put two bottles of soda on the thermos with a bottle and handed it over, and this guy also made a "love knot" with the straw, as if he felt that we were a couple!
