Chapter Seventy-Six: Fighting Wits and Courage
On the first day that the Lacey Corps arrived in the Shennong Valley, the monkeys in the mountains gave them a horse, and dozens of workers were robbed of their lunch, and some workers were slightly injured.
Working hungry, the work efficiency is naturally not high, and the workers have some complaints at this time, but for the sake of the salary, they still persevered.
Yoda saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. On the one hand, he tactfully expressed to He Jinshui the idea of further strengthening the vigilance, and on the other hand, he organized the people to make lunch as soon as possible, and finally let the workers eat hot food an hour later.
"This guy is really a talent, and he minimizes all unfavorable factors, which greatly improves the enthusiasm and work efficiency of workers. He Jinshui wondered in his heart, "Since you take people's money, you will naturally eliminate disasters for others! Well, you have to fight wits and courage with the monkeys, and let them taste great!"
He then thought about it, since the monkeys coveted the monkey fruit very much, then they would definitely face endless harassment and sneak attacks from the monkeys in the near future, and it was better to take the initiative than to defend passively.
These monkeys have already become sperm, so naturally they will not rush in and grab them directly during the day like other stupid things. They steal by sneaking through trees and sneaking into tents at night.
After He Jinshui pondered for a moment, a plan to wait for the rabbit and surround the point to send reinforcements took shape, his furrowed eyebrows began to stretch, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In the afternoon, a large group of monkeys of different colors and sizes quietly gathered in the trees and approached the place where the workers were working. Led by a few older apes, they carefully observed the movement below, without making a sound, like an army of well-disciplined monkeys.
The loud singing was scattered, and the workers worked together and dug non-stop, and the monkey fruits the size of a fist and the whole body were piled up on the ground in a mess, causing the monkeys to salivate and itch.
The sun had climbed to the top of the mountain, and it was already close to noon. At the foreman's order, the workers gathered from all over to prepare for dinner, leaving the fruit everywhere unattended.
Seeing that the time was ripe, an older ape made a quiet gesture in his hand, and was the first to fall from the tree, and cautiously rushed towards the fruit pile. Behind it, dozens of monkeys landed on the ground one after another, following behind. The rest of the monkeys were still nervously watching.
The old monkey clasped his hands to his chest and tiptoed closer. The pile of monkey fruit seemed to smile, as if beckoning to it and said, "Come on, uncle, come and eat!" It couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed over with its hands and feet, and its open mouth and flowing tongue all revealed its inner desire. Seeing this, the trailing monkeys accelerated and pounced on them.
At this moment, the old monkey's feet were empty, and he could not bear the force. It has a bad secret path, and it falls straight into the trap before it has time to react. The group of monkeys behind saw that the situation was not good, and they braked their bodies hard, but many monkeys still fell down.
The rest of the monkeys were so frightened that they turned around and tried to run out. At this moment, a huge metal rod suddenly swept over, striking all the monkeys on the ground into the trap.
After the old monkey in the lead fell into the trap, the soil below was soft and unharmed. At this time, it saw that the vanguard troops had all fallen, and they had been swept away by a net, and its eyes were wide with anger, and its vigorous figure pulled and pulled, and instantly got up from the pit and jumped straight out.
Just as it was about to break free from the clutches of the devil, a huge fishing net fell from the sky and covered the entire trap. The old monkey could not avoid it, and fell down again.
"Bold demon monkey, where to escape!" Behind several rocks on the opposite side, several mighty figures were revealed. He Jinshui rushed out first, hundreds of coins in his hands jumped up one after another, crackling towards the monkeys watching from the trees.
In an instant, the rain fell, and the swarms of monkeys continued to fall, and the sound of falling to the ground became one. Arnold and the others rushed up with giant bags in their hands, covered all the fallen monkeys into their pockets, and fastened the openings.
Some of the monkeys, standing tall and climbing far away, turned around and scurried deeper into the woods. Ryman's eyes were quick, and he raised his crossbow to shoot down, when a large hand reached out from the side to stop him. I only heard He Jinshui say with a smile: "Let them run, it's best to bring in all the reinforcements!"
The crowd counted the results of the battle, and more than 30 monkeys fell into traps, and more than 20 were shot down from trees and put in pockets, and nearly 60 were captured in total. Most of these monkeys were not injured, but some of them were frightened, and their expressions were constantly sifting through chaff with fear, and they were completely devoid of yesterday's arrogance.
"Boss, slaughter all these monkeys!" Arnold's tongue sticked out, and his eyes glowed with cruelty. "No! they're not sensible, they're just joking, so let's let them go!" Torres was startled and couldn't help but cry out.
"We killed the monkeys this year, and there will be more monkeys next year, and if we let them go, it will only make them feel that our side is weak, and I am afraid that they will retaliate even more!" He Jinshui looked up at the sky, pretending to be profound.
"You can't let it go, you can't kill it, so what should you do? Could it be that you have to be offered as an ancestor?" the little madman couldn't help but exclaim.
"You, hehe, how do you know the subtlety of the phrase 'attacking the city for the bottom and attacking the heart for the top' in my hometown!" He Jinshui closed his eyes and muttered to himself. Then he opened his eyes and waved his big hand and said, "Don't mention these things for now, lock them up and talk about it!"
He Jinshui gave an order, put them all in an iron cage, and then arranged for everyone to rest in the afternoon, preparing to meet the harassment of the monkeys at night. Lance couldn't help but scratch the little horn on his head and said, "Big brother, what if the monkeys come to attack again in the afternoon!"
"Don't worry! Although these monkeys are cunning, how can they understand the deceit of humans! They have just suffered a big loss, and they know that we have been on guard, and they will be cautious. In addition, I have made arrangements, even if they venture forward, they will not escape the palm of my hand!" He Jinshui laughed confidently. He waved his hand, and the crowd began to look around for shade to rest.
In the afternoon, the sun was on the head, and the scorching sun seemed to scorch the earth. Torres couldn't sleep soundly, he was worried that the cute little golden monkey from yesterday would also come to join in the fun and be caught, so he sat under the big tree opposite the iron cage, his eyes wide open and looking around, intending to drive him away if he found the little monkey. As a result, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep.
In the afternoon, the picking went extremely smoothly, and the heavy monkey fruit was piled up into a small mountain. Businessman AUO's heart blossomed. "Masters have worked hard, add dinner tonight!" he commanded his subordinates loudly, and then smiled and stretched out his thumb and praised: "Commander He is really a hero, I didn't expect to solve the problem so easily." At this rate, we will be able to reap a bumper harvest in just 8 days, and we will definitely be rewarded by then!"
"Don't be careless!" He Jinshui said, "The monkeys will definitely attack on a large scale tonight, we have to prepare early!" "In this case, all the cadres of my business group are sent by Commander He!" said Yuda crisply.
"Very good, come here with your ears!" AUO leaned over curiously, listening to He Jinshui's whisper, as if he had suddenly realized, his nervous expression disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
