Chapter 042: The Two Little Only Have New Playmates!
"What is this?" The cub pointed to an animal, his big eyes revealing curiosity.
He was pointing to a monkey.
It turned out that this was a monkey show, where one person commanded a monkey and made all kinds of movements.
"It's a macaque." Jiang Yao said.
The short man threw his hat on the ground, and the little monkey ran to it, picked it up from the ground, and put it on his head.
caused a burst of onlookers to commotion.
"Step on stilts, step on it!" The short man shook the rope around the little monkey's neck.
The curiosity of the onlookers was aroused.
Can this monkey still walk on stilts?
The cub blinked and stared at the monkey.
The monkey ran to the stilts, and with his paws like human hands, he picked up the stilts.
It stepped on stilts with one foot and tried to lift it with the other, failed the first time, tried several times, and actually stepped on it.
The crowd erupted in cheers.
The cub's two little hands also clapped their hands.
"Mother, this monkey looks like a human." The puppies are very strange.
"It's not happy." Tianbao said suddenly.
Jiang Yao went to see the little girl, and saw her little face wrinkled, staring at the monkey, her eyes full of sympathy.
How can a juggling monkey be happy?
How can they be happy when they are supposed to belong to the mountains and forests, but they are captured, trained and beaten, and become tools for people to earn money?
As soon as Tianbao said this, the puppy who was still applauding just now also stopped, looking at the monkey's eyes, and always felt as if the little monkey was about to cry......
Jiang Yao didn't feel anything.
In this era, human life is like grass, and it is still difficult for people to survive, let alone animals......
However, seeing these two little guys so sad again, Jiang Yao relented a little.
When the monkey performers were finished, they took out a bowl and begged the spectators for a reward.
Most of them are one copper plate, and there are only five or six copper plates in one round......
"Enough to buy a few steamed buns...... "The monkey trickster muttered, putting the money in his sleeve.
"Do you sell this monkey?"
When the monkey charmer looked, he saw a young woman with two children.
"Sell? This is my food for dinner, how do I sell it? Don't sell! The monkey trickster simply refused.
"Mother, forget it......" Tianbao said as she tugged at her mother's sleeve.
Although she pitied this monkey very much, she also knew that money was hard to earn, and her mother worked so hard to raise a large family.
Jiang Yao couldn't do it, so she took the two children and prepared to leave.
"How much are you going to pay for it?" The monkey trickster stopped them.
"How much do you want?"
"My monkey is not an ordinary monkey, it is spiritual, five taels of silver......"
Jiang Yao smiled: "Five taels of silver, are you stupid for us?" Five taels of silver is enough for me to buy a pig. ”
Jiang Yao said: "One or two silver!" ”
The monkey was reluctant, and the two talked for a long time, and finally made a deal at the price of two taels of silver.
Seeing that her mother bought the little monkey, Tianbao was very happy.
The monkey trickster handed the rope to Jiang Yao.
"This monkey is a bit wild, if you don't obey, you will be beaten, be careful of being injured." With that, he took the money and left.
Jiang Yao pulled the rope, the monkey was fierce, she had heard of monkeys hurting people before, she was afraid of hurting the two children.
If this monkey really dared to hurt the two little guys, Jiang Yao would not hesitate to break its neck.
Sweet Treasure walked up to the little monkey, and the little monkey was standing, a little shorter than Sweet Treasure, and looked at Sweet Treasure vigilantly.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I'll let you go."
When Tianbao said this, the little monkey made a cry, as if talking to a chicken and a duck.
But under Tianbao's appeasement, the little monkey gradually became less vigilant.
When Tianbao stretched out his hand, the little monkey also put his little paw on Tianbao's hand, which had a meat pad and was soft.
Tianbao blew lightly: "Huhu, it doesn't hurt anymore~"
The little monkey tilted its head to look at her.
This little macaque is quite cute, with a round little face, and its eyes are also round, and its eyes are rolling and very smart.
The cub also wanted to touch the little monkey, but the little monkey's head turned to him, grinning and fierce.
Tianbao hurriedly stretched out his hand and touched the little monkey's head: "This is my brother, don't be afraid, my brother won't hurt you~"
Under Tianbao's comfort, the little monkey became docile and put his other paw on the cub's hand.
Jiang Yao saw that the little monkey had no ill will towards the two little guys, so he untied the rope around its neck.
Jiang Yao took the two treasures and a little monkey and walked towards the rice grain store.
Along the way, it attracted many onlookers, and some even wanted to touch the little monkey.
The little monkey bared its teeth and scared people away.
When she came to the rice grain store, Jiang Yao asked the two little guys and the monkey to wait at the door, and went in to take a walk around and see the glutinous rice.
The quality of this glutinous rice is more than half worse than that of her blind box.
Jiang Yao looked for several more, but in the end she only saw one that could barely catch her eye, bought two bags of glutinous rice, and planned to go back and try it.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Jiang Yao put the glutinous rice into the small warehouse, carrying only a small bag of rice in the back basket.
Jiang Yao went to buy a large steamer and two large wine tanks again.
This shop happened to be near where Niu Dashan parked, and as soon as Jiang Yao called, Niu Dashan ran over to help and put all her things on the ox cart.
Jiang Yao bought the child's snacks and medicines, etc., and then went to take the ox cart and prepare to return.
Niu Dashan looked at the little monkey and was shocked: "Where did this little monkey come from?" This thing looks like a small one, and it's very fierce. Tianbao, dog, almost behind Grandpa Niu. ”
"Grandpa Niu, the little monkey is very well-behaved and doesn't hurt people."
Tianbao said, touching the little monkey's head, and the little monkey's head rubbed against her little hand, one person and one monkey were very harmonious.
"This monkey is very smart, Uncle Niu, don't worry." Jiang Yao said.
Niu Dashan was relieved.
Jiang Yao got into the ox cart first, and then hugged the two treasures.
The little monkey was much more nimble, walked between the cub and Tianbao, followed their example, and sat down.
Jiang Yao looked at the two treasures and a monkey sitting in front of her, unspeakably cute.
The ox cart set off slowly, Jiang Yao raised her head, and came with a warm summer breeze, feeling very comfortable.
Halfway through, the ox cart stopped.
The road is flanked by mountains on both sides, and it is also the original home of the little monkeys.
The little monkey also stretched out his head and looked up the mountain.
Tianbao touched the little monkey's head: "Go back to the mountains, be careful in the future, don't be caught." ”
The little monkey jumped out of the carriage, his furry head spinning, and looked at Tianbao.
Tianbao was also reluctant to let the little monkey go, but the little monkey originally belonged to the mountains and forests, and the monkey trickster detained it, and she couldn't stay selfishly.
"Goodbye, little monkey." Tianbao waved at the little monkey.
Tianbao's immature little face was full of reluctance, took a deep breath, and forcibly turned his head back.
"Grandpa Niu, go home."
The cub leaned over and hugged his sister, silently comforting.
The ox cart set off slowly, creaking towards Aoki Village.
In the nearby forest, a small monkey jumped between the branches, following the direction of the ox cart.
When the ox cart drove out of the mountain road and walked on the field path, Tianbao saw a small figure, not far away, chasing them.
"The little monkey follows us!" Sweet Treasure shouted.
Niu Dashan stopped the ox cart, and the little monkey ran over quickly, jumped on the ox cart nimbly, and hugged Tian Bao's arm tightly.
The little monkey squeaked.
Everyone else was inexplicable, but Tianbao seemed to understand.
"Mother, the little monkey said he wanted to follow us!" Sweet Treasure Road.
Jiang Yao looked at the small group, this little monkey is different from ordinary monkeys, very humane, just like a child.
"Then follow it, anyway, there is no shortage of monkey rice."
The little monkey sat back down between Sweet Baby and the pup.
The gloomy aura just now was swept away.
Jiang family.
Two figures stood outside the courtyard.
One of the slender and majestic figures is Ji Huaiye.
He stood against the wall, his deep face without the slightest expression, his thin lips pursed tightly, not angry.
The other person is Mo Hui.
Mo Hui saw that his family's legs were almost good, and he was very happy, and then reported the situation of the county government.
"Master Xin handles the affairs of the county government in an orderly manner, you don't have to worry." Mo replied, "Two days ago, there was a case where the culprit was a woman in this Aoki Village who committed adultery and killed an adulterer. A showman actually found the yamen and wanted to see you, my lord, and intercede with the woman. Finally, Master Xin met him......"
Ji Huaiye quickly reacted, that Xiucai must be Zhang Caisheng.
"And then?"
"Master Xin directly scolded that Xiucai was embarrassed and ran away."
Ji Huaiye knew Master Xin's seven-inch tongue, and he could almost imagine Zhang Cai's embarrassed appearance.
Jiang Yao said that he was a barking dog, but Ji Huaiye felt that he was like a buzzing fly, noisy and disgusting.
