Chapter 21: The Night Monkey

"Lei Wuchen", Qing'er hurriedly supported the crumbling Lei Wuchen, and in her reddish eyes, tears quickly crossed her fair face.

Lei Wuchen pressed the wound on his shoulder with his hand, stood up with difficulty, looked at the monsters around him, and said slowly: "I... I'm fine, you be careful."

"Woo... Woo", those monsters let out a long roar, and were about to pounce again, when the dark woods, there was a sudden sound of the previous shaking of leaves, and the surrounding monsters angrily shook their fists and smashed them to the ground, and they seemed to be unwilling in their hearts, but in the blink of an eye, they all jumped to the branches and jumped in the direction where the sound came.

After this group of monsters left for a long time, Lei Wuchen sat down on the ground, and the blood gushing out of his shoulders dripped to the ground through his fingers.

"Your wound...", Qing'er asked at a loss as she looked at the deep bite mark on Lei Wuchen's shoulder.

"It's fine, it's just a little injury"

"But..."

Before Qing'er finished speaking, I saw a yellow light rushing towards here, the light dissipated, and Li Qing's figure slowly landed from the air, walking quickly towards Lei Wuchen.

"Senior brother, look at Lei Wuchen..."

"Don't worry, it's okay", Li Qing looked at Qing'er with anxious eyes, comforted, and then squatted down beside Lei Wuchen, and gently took away Lei Wuchen's hand pressed on the wound, but the blood on Lei Wuchen's hand was stuck with the clothes, Li Qing had no choice but to swing his sword to cut the clothes on Lei Wuchen's shoulder, and the bones on Lei Wuchen's shoulder could be faintly seen from the wound.

"Senior brother...", Lei Wuchen opened his confused eyes, looked at Li Qing, who was stopping the bleeding for himself, and said weakly.

"Who?", hearing movement in the dark woods, Qing'er hurriedly stood up and watched vigilantly at the figure that gradually came out.

"Qing'er is fine, he is the kid who fought with the alien beast just now", Li Qing took the hand that healed Lei Wuchen, stood up and said.

The figure in the darkness gradually walked towards the fire, the firelight gradually reflected his face, Qing'er stared at this person, only to see that this person's face was very thin, and the scar on his face was particularly obvious under the firelight.

The man walked straight towards Lei Wuchen, squatted beside him, checked the scars, and said: "He was bitten by the night monkey beast, but it is not a big problem, the night monkey beast is just an extremely ordinary beast in the Monkey Forest Mountain, there is no energy in the body, it is non-toxic, and it can be cured by rubbing some herbs."

"Monkey Forest Mountain?, Night Monkey Beast?", Qing'er said suspiciously.

"Well, this mountain forest is called Monkey Forest Mountain, and there are many night monkey beasts in the mountain, and they often sneak up on our stockade, steal poultry, and children"

"Child?", Qing'er was suddenly startled when she heard this.

"That's right, our village is at the foot of the mountain, but now it's very dark, and it's very dangerous to go back to the village now, and the night monkey beasts come out at night."

"But... Thunder's injury."

"Don't worry about his injury, my medicine basket has the medicine I just picked today, mash it and put it on him, and it will be fine in a while", after speaking, the man put the medicine basket on his back on the ground, rummaged through the basket full of herbs, and then took out a few emerald green herbs, put them in his hand and kept rubbing them, and after a while, the herbs were kneaded in his palm.

The man tore off a piece of his clothes, put the herb bag on it, bowed his head and said to Lei Wuchen: "Your scar is a little deep, it may be painful, you bear with it"

"Well... Ahh , Lei Wuchen gritted his teeth, his fingers grabbed the ground fiercely, and tried his best to control his arm that was trembling because of the severe pain.

After the herb was applied to the wound, the man tore a piece from his clothes, wrapped it around Lei Wuchen's shoulder, and said, "We still have this herb at home, and I will change it for you again tomorrow."

Qing'er glanced at Lei Wuchen's gradually recovering complexion, and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving Lei Wuchen, by the way, what's your name?

"My name is Ding Xiao, I live in Tazhai Village at the foot of the mountain, because my mother is sick and needs fresh herbs, so I came to this mountain forest to look for it, just over there, I found a lot of flowers and grasses, because I was so happy, I forgot the time, and then on the way down the mountain, I was attacked by the night monkey beast, fortunately you appeared, and saved my life"

"The night monkey beasts here are not the same as those ferocious beasts, they are just ordinary beasts, and they should not be able to prey on children", Li Qing looked around, from the process of fighting those night monkey beasts just now, he could feel that these night monkey beasts were not carnivorous beasts, so he asked suspiciously.

"But when I was very young, my father was killed by these night monkey beasts, and every year there would be children missing in our village, and the next day the body was found in the monkey forest mountain, and it can be seen from the scars that it was the night monkey beasts", Ding Xiao glared angrily at the dark woods, clenched his fists, and said angrily.

"These night monkey beasts are really hateful, senior brother, we must help them kill these monsters before we leave", Qing'er said indignantly.

"Okay, let's sleep here for one night now, presumably those night monkey beasts won't come back tonight, and they will come down the mountain tomorrow morning", Li Qing threw the dead branches under his feet into the fire, looked at the three of them, and said slowly.

"Okay", Qing'er responded, turned around and walked to Lei Wuchen's side, and asked softly, "Lei Wuchen, can you lie down now?"

"I'm fine, can you sleep first?", Lei Wuchen said with a faint smile.

The mountains and forests gradually returned to calm, Lei Wuchen and the three of them fell asleep one after another, Li Qing hugged the sword in his arms, looking at the 'crackling' burning fire, his face was cold, Lei Wuchen's injuries were not good in a day or two, and now Mo Hanyi had no news since he left the Lei family, thinking of this, Li Qing was even more worried.

The mountains and forests in the early morning were very lively, the breeze was blowing, and there was some cold winter coolness, and when Qing'er opened her eyes, the three of them had already packed their things.

"Are you awake?", Ding Xiao put the medicine basket on his back, looked back at the sleepy Qing'er, and asked.

"Hmm", Qing'er nodded as she straightened the hair scattered across her forehead behind her ears.

"Eat something first", after Lei Wuchen buried the fire with soil, he slowly stood up and handed the food in his hand to Qing'er.

"How's your injury?"

"It's okay"

"Wait for it to arrive at my house, I'll wash it with water for you again, replace it with new herbs, and it should heal quickly", Ding Xiao could see Lei Wuchen's reluctance, so he interjected.

"Is this far away from your house?", Qing'er asked suspiciously, looking at the road down the mountain, and there was no trace of the village at all.

"It's not too far, just walk along this road, there is a small stream next to our village, you can go there for fishing," Ding Xiao said, walking in front.

"There are fish, great, Lei Wuchen, I'm going to catch a few more today, so that you can recuperate"

"There are many other things in the creek, you can take a good look at the place when you get there"

Li Qing walked last, clenching the sword in his hand, because behind him, there was a slight 'rustling' sound.
