Chapter 9: Exposure
A breath of cold air penetrates through the bottom of Donghan's heart.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a paradise wonderland, but it is also an authentic monkey mountain, and it is very accurate to say that it is a monkey army camp with thousands of troops.
I saw that there was a rectangular open-air cliff cave in front of me, which was only more than half a mile long and wide, and the water mist at the height could not see its top. And at the bottom of the cliff a few zhang below, there are flowers, vines, fruit trees, and medicinal herbs all over the ground, and there are mountains and rivers hanging on the cliff in the distance of ten zhang on the left side of the mountain crack.
At the edge of the pond, there is a spear grass house with a height of one zhang, and the windows and doors are open. Hidden inside the square table to make a bed. Dong Han carefully swept it with his divine sense, and strangely, there was no one inside at this time.
There are unknown herbs and many fruit trees under the grass house, and the fruit is also full at this time. It's not a common fruit on the mainland, but there is a slight smell of fragrance.
After Dong Han carefully swept around, he made sure that no one was there at this time, so he relaxed a little. The little monkey was playing on the wooden ladder in front of the hut, and the package was already on the square table in the hut.
None of this is the most terrible part.
The sunlight shines through the thick mist, giving this open-air place a little bit of daylight in the daytime, and just on the stone wall of the cliff more than ten zhang high, the layers of protruding and concave stone crevices seem to be specially built, and there are countless mountain monkeys playing in each layer.
Although they are not very large, as far as the eye can see, almost all four walls are there. Not three or two thousand, not less than one thousand fifteen hundred. That's a dizzying amount of money.
That's the scariest part!
Know that this is their home. For some animals, the winter cold is an invasion of their territory.
Don't say they have any skills, even if they don't. With the limbs that climbed the mountains and the sheer number of them, it was not difficult to imagine what the consequences would be if they were to cheat.
Dong Han didn't dare to move, so he could only wait slowly in the mountain crevices. If so many mountain monkeys in front of you go crazy, it will be a terrible thing!
As soon as the morning dawns, they will surely go out in search of food. At that point, it's not too late to act on the opportunistic.
Outside the mountain, there is already a morning glow, but because of the high fog cover here, there is just a little light. At this time, there are also many mountain monkeys climbing up along a cliff.
Although there was a fog above, all the mountain monkeys were moving slowly in that direction.
Halfway through the hour, most of the monkeys have left here. The winter cold has not moved in the cracks of the mountains. He was also quietly waiting for the remaining mountain monkeys to leave.
The mist slowly thinned out under the red sun, and the cliff slowly lit up.
Dong Han had been observing the mountain monkey in front of the thatched hut, and it seemed to be guarding something, allowing most of the mountain monkeys to leave, but he did not see it leave. Later it seemed to be dozing off at the doorway of the thatched hut.
Hey, it's very dutiful.
It's a bit like the three little guys in the winter cold.
While looking at it, while sleeping with his head like a baby, Dong Han felt some warmth and faint nostalgia in his heart.
It's like someone waiting for you there. Although there was no verbal communication, it was still very warm.
............
The chief helmsman of the 'Emerald Isle' Chamber of Commerce, after tossing in the middle of the night, they have not rested too well this night. Fortunately, everyone is a martial artist, and staying up late is not a big deal.
After deciding on the general strategy, everyone waited in the general rudder for the news of the cold winter.
The things that are handled in the warehouse are, at best, half incense time, and then Dong Han goes out to follow up.
It's coming to an end, and the winter hasn't come back yet. Everyone hurriedly ate some breakfast and began to sum up in the backyard hall.
"Why hasn't that brother come back, can't anything happen?"
"What can happen? Don't you believe my brother?"
"Little Yangzi, don't get excited. I mean there's something delaying my return, nothing else. 〞
"My brother has been in danger all the way to sea. What's so strange about this. The last time I went back to Linhai City, the young master told me something else. 〞
"What's the matter?"
"In short, it's all unexpected things, so let's not talk about them. Anyway, I have great faith, and I will stay here until noon before I set sail. 〞
"You're a small thing. But there's something different about this kid!"
"Thanks to him last night... 〞
"Helmsman, is there anything you missed in your plan today, and is there anything else you need to add?" Elder Qiu asked.
"I thought about it carefully, and although we were still relatively passive, we had to do this before the little brother came back. 〞
"Well, I don't know what the boy's situation is! But the old man still has a lot of faith in him. 〞
"Okay, I guess someone will come to the door later. We had to act at the opportune moment, and the elders still arranged for some people to go to the warehouse a little bit to prevent anyone from causing trouble. Affect the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce. 〞
"Okay, I'll make arrangements. Yang Wei, you can also go over there together, for the time being, there is still some tension in terms of manpower. 〞
"Alright!"
Lao Yang took a few deacons and warriors to the warehouse at the bottom of the mountain.
The sun had already set when the cargo ship docked yesterday, and only a part of the cargo was captured, but in the second half of this morning, plus the collection of some items needed on board, it was all done before noon.
The helmsman is also arranging what he planned last night.
"Helmsman, have you ever wondered if there is anything in the mine, whether there is something hidden here that we don't know. Or is it a little unexplainable that this happened?"
"That's the point, because we don't know why. That's why I'm a little passive, and I'm still waiting for them to come to the door. 〞
"Husband and Qiu Lao don't need to be too anxious, I believe that this conspiracy will come to light sooner or later. 〞
"Well, that's all there is to it!" The two of them didn't have any other clues for the time being, and they could only wait for those people to make a move first, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Time is slowly moving forward.
The light of the red sun also quickly shines on all corners of the 'Emerald Island'.
............
Winter cold is still waiting, most of the monkeys have already left here, and there are not a few left on each floor to guard here.
After chasing in the middle of the night, Dong Han is now a little hungry, but fortunately, there are many things to eat in the purple water jade.
The benefits of this thing really don't have to be said, the most important thing is that the things in it are generally not bad, whether they are raw or cooked. And no matter how much the fight is bumpy outside, the things inside will not change position.
Now Donghan has equipped himself with all the items for two months' food, drink, shelter and transportation, and most of them are empty.
Dong Han casually took out a turquoise green fruit, stepped back a little, and began to gnaw it.
A sweet juice enters the throat, and a hint of fruity aroma wafts out.
Dong Han felt something approaching his head, very light.
While preparing to dart, Dong Hanshou looked up and shouted out how it appeared.
A shakuhachi-sized little monkey is a little careful to approach the winter cold, it doesn't seem to be too big, its movements are a little clumsy, its two watery eyes look very cute, and its tail is about the same as its body wriggles back and forth.
This is smelling the fragrance of green fruits, and it doesn't know that it is afraid of people, so it clumsily climbs down to Dong Han, and when it arrives a few feet before Dong Han, it looks at the green fruit in Dong Han's hand motionless.
Dong Han tried to reach out and hand over the green fruit, but it was not polite, stretched out a small claw and grabbed it, and ate it there without leaving.
It's a lost little monkey, or left behind. Donghan doesn't know? Donghan just hopes that it won't make a sound.
When he saw that the food was almost finished, Dong Han took out another one, took a few bites and then gave it to it.
It's not that it's reluctant, it's because its mouth is so small that it can't bite it. At this time, it also crawled down completely and simply squatted on Donghan's shoulders and ate it.
It seems that it is indeed very small, and it doesn't know about fear at all, but it just knows that green fruits are delicious.
It doesn't matter if it's cold in winter, the key is to be quiet.
But!
That's when things took a turn for the worse.
Suddenly there was a very sharp scream from the crack in the mountain, which frightened the winter chill.
Look up, okay!
A mountain monkey less than two feet tall with slightly black fluffy hair, its eyes blood-red looking at the winter cold.
Strange to say, the little monkey heard this chirp and immediately ran towards the mountain monkey. Dong Han thought badly, this was a misunderstanding that Dong Han was coming to snatch her cubs.
Squeak, squeak, soon resounded through the valley.
At this time, the winter cold is also facing two, but neither is a good choice.
One is to go inside.
The second is to retreat outside.
But...!!
