Lao Xie was overjoyed: "Great, you wait a minute, I'll call you!" He took out his phone from his purse, but forgot that it had been broken, so I turned off my phone and removed the calling card. Throwing the phone to him, Lao Xie changed his card, walked out of the house and started to call at the door, secretly observing whether we were eavesdropping while calling.

I asked, "Will this guy do any tricks again?" ”

Fang Gang snorted: "Whatever, anyway, what we want is the Monkey King, and if it is not done, I will not give him a dime." I thought to myself, after more than ten minutes, Lao Xie returned and happily said that he had passed the news to those monkey catchers, asking them to do it as soon as possible.

We returned to Bangkok from Khon Kaen and stayed at a hotel near the airport to wait for the news of Lao Xie. When I had nothing to do, I asked Lao Xie to tell me about the Singapore circus owner two years ago, and Lao Xie seemed to be very interested, and told me what happened back then. Fang Gang sat next to him and drank beer while listening, obviously watching and eavesdropping, as if he was afraid that Lao Xie would abduct and sell me.

Two days later, someone called Lao Xie, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly asked for the address, saying that he had caught a Javanese monkey king in the mountains of northwestern Laos and had just put it in a big iron cage. We were so happy that I immediately called Nguyen Van Dung and asked him to provide the address of the warehouse he had rented near the Hanoi airport. Nguyen Van Dung is happier than us. The address was quickly provided, and Lao Xie sent the address to the monkey catcher.

The next day, the Monkey King was transported to Hanoi, and Nguyen Van Dung called to say that the inspection was correct, and that it was indeed the Monkey King, and I was very happy. I thought that Lao Xie, this guy finally came in handy. Shangtuan Feng.

After another four or five days, Ruan Wenyong's phone call was smoking, and Lao Xie was so anxious that he turned around in the house like a donkey. Nguyen Van Dung texted me saying that his brother-in-law had just come out of the hospital in the morning, and the inflammation of the wound had finally been brought under control and had not worsened. During those days in the hospital, Mr. Lai's strange illness made all the doctors and nurses disbelieve, but every day he added new injuries to his old injuries. The dean suspected that Mr. Li had masochistic tendencies and sent three nurses to monitor him all night, but without exception, all of them fell asleep in the early hours of the morning.

I have to say that this side is making an all-out arrest, and there will be news soon. Call Lao Xie here, and ask him to call again to ask if there is any news, if it is delayed for a few more days, it is estimated that Mr. Li will soon return to the West.

Lao Xie said, "Okay, okay, I'll call, alas, just this monkey king......" He said as he walked out of the room, avoiding us to call.

Fang Gang scolded: "If you make a phone call, you have to carry someone behind your back, and it's not a drug dealer!" I laughed, thinking that you didn't do the same when you called the business, and you had to ask me to avoid it, it seems that they are all occupational diseases. The next morning, Lao Xie excitedly reported to Fang Gang and me that the last Javan monkey king had been caught. Packing for shipment to the airport.

I happily said, "Really? Great, let's go to Hanoi now! ”

Before leaving, Lao Xie asked if we could pay him some deposit first. I said, "What's the hurry?" We haven't gotten the money yet, and you're starting to ask for dividends? ”

Lao Xie said embarrassedly that the hard-earned money of the two groups of monkey catchers had not been paid, and they had been urging them for the past few days. In fact, I know very well in my heart that these activities are paid in advance, and before we had to collect a deposit for business, which was used as necessary activity funds. A person like Lao Xie, who is almost penniless, really can't come up with money to carry out activities. After discussing with Fang Gang, I first gave Lao Xie 500 dollars.

"This, this is too little, not even enough money to catch a monkey king......" Lao Xie said embarrassedly.

Fang Gang glared: "If you don't say enough, it's not enough?" How can I not believe it? But he still counted three more hundred-dollar bills and threw them to Lao Xie. Lao Xie handed over the money and put it away, and thanked him repeatedly, I thought to myself that the word "Lao Xie" was really not called in vain.

After saying goodbye to Lao Xie, Fang Gang and I immediately booked a flight from Bangkok to Hanoi, and then told Nguyen Van Dung the news. He was so excited that he stammered and thanked us.

After getting off the plane in Hanoi, Nguyen Van Dung was already waiting in the warehouse. He sincerely apologized to us and said that he should not have doubted us in the first place. Fang Gang waved his hand generously, saying that doing business is like this, based on sincerity.

The nine monkey kings have been served by special people to eat and drink, and they are all in good spirits, but they often scream at each other through the iron fence, and they seem to be dissatisfied with each other.

It was more complicated to transport live animals by plane, which was more troublesome than transporting people, and it arrived the next afternoon, and we all felt as if it had been a long time. When the staff brought out the cage with the iron fence containing the monkey king, me, Fang Gang, Xiao Yang, Lao Xie and Nguyen Van Dung were all very excited.

Nguyen Van Dung carefully distinguished this Javan monkey, his body was not as strong as the other nine monkey kings, but his spirit was very full, and his eyes were shining. Nguyen Van Dung and Mr. Le have been in the monkey breeding business together for nearly ten years and know monkeys very well, even speaking some monkey languages and calls. He stood in front of the monkey's cage and imitated several sounds with his mouth, but the monkey did not react.

Xiao Yang asked curiously, "Are you chatting with it?" ”

"I'm communicating with it in the voice of a member of the pack, meaning to ask if it's the leader, but it doesn't answer." Nguyen Van Dung explained.

I looked at Lao Xie and asked, "What's going on, are you sure it's the Monkey King caught over there?" ”

Lao Xie patted his chest: "That monkey catcher has been my good friend for many years, and his character can be guaranteed to be fine!" ”

At this time, Ruan Wenyong pursed his lips again and learned a few sounds, and the monkey obviously reacted, jumping up and down, and making the same squeak. Ruan Wenyong said happily: "That's right this time, it can respond correctly, it should be the Monkey King, it is the Monkey King!" "We all breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately informed Mrs. Li that we were going to prepare for the next step, which was to go to the deep mountains of Mengdong to find the Miao master to cast a spell on Mr. Li.

Fang Gang borrowed a small spray gun from the staff of the airport warehouse, and sprayed white paint on the backs of the two monkey kings that Lao Xie got through the iron cage. The two monkey kings were obviously dissatisfied, and the other party just grinned in demonstration.

Xiao Yang asked, "Brother Fang, what are you doing here?" ”

"Nothing, just in case, but it's better not to use this thing." Fang Gang handed the spray gun to the staff and clapped his palms.

When we returned to the hospital, Mr. Li was so weakened by the trauma that he was covered in gauze and bandages, and he could barely speak. Mrs. Li was very worried, and asked if she could invite that master to Hanoi to cast spells, and it was a big deal to give more red envelopes. Fang Gang said: "No, these masters have lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, so that they can practice the black method with peace of mind, the city is popular and chaotic, which affects the master's mind, so we can only go to the mountains." ”

Xiao Yang asked: "But that mountain road is so difficult to walk, cars can't get in, and Boss Li is so sick, how can I go?" ”

Mrs. Li ran out of ideas, and Ruan Van Dung said: "Even if you hire someone to carry it, you have to carry your brother-in-law into the mountains!" ”

Nguyen Van Dung hired 50 or 60 able-bodied men as sedan bearers in the local area, and chartered two buses in the parking lot. From early in the morning, the soldiers were divided into two routes, one was a long van, which departed from Hanoi Airport to transport ten iron cages containing the Monkey King to Muang Dong; On the other side of the road was us, carrying dozens of "sedan drivers" in a bus, followed by two five-seater old-style jeeps, sitting Mr. and Mrs. Li and the five of us respectively. The back seat of Mr. and Mrs. Lai's jeep had been flattened so that Mr. Li could lie down.

In this way, the two groups of people met in Mengdong, Fang Gang's previous guide friend had been waiting in the village, under his leadership, dozens of "sedan chair men" began to work, they each group of four, carrying a monkey cage welded with four cotton iron rods, and then carried by four people to lie on Mr. Li's stretcher, began to enter the mountain.

Last time, Fang Gang, Xiao Yang, Ruan Wenyong and others and I walked into the mountains for four hours. This time, they hired people to carry iron cages and stretchers, walked more slowly, took a ten-minute break every half an hour, and divided into four shifts. By four o'clock in the afternoon, these dozens of people had big blisters on their feet. When we finally arrived at the bamboo building of the Miao master, the master was drinking tea with two apprentices at the door, and we were surprised to see that we were carrying ten large iron cages, and there were monkeys inside. Fang Gang's friend explained his intentions, and Master Azan watched these iron cages for a long time, laughing while watching.

Fang Gang's friend said to us: "This master said that if you can gather ten monkey kings in such a short time, I'm afraid you are the only one, these people are really capable." ”
