Chapter 40: Little Balls
The sun shone into the room in the morning, and Wednesday opened his eyes to see the little monkey on the table across from him. The little monkey's position didn't move at all, curled up on the table like a small furball, and it was very cute and fluffy.
But the little monkey's alertness is really very high, and as soon as he opened his eyes on Wednesday, he didn't make any other moves, and the little monkey also opened his eyes, blinking and then staring at Wednesday.
Wednesday was a little happy and beckoned to the little monkey, and then saw the little monkey jump from the table like a ball of lightning into the palm of his hand. This explosive power is really not weak, Wednesday tsk praised, this little monkey is bigger than an adult's fist, and the calves are even more thin and curled up in the body, usually not seen at all, but the action is agile, the jumping ability is very strong, not weaker than those big monkeys on the earth.
Touching the little monkey's head, its hair is dry and smooth at this time, as smooth as satin, and it feels very good to touch. Then place the little monkey on your shoulder and watch it react.
The little monkey reacted strongly to Wednesday's overtures, spinning around his shoulders excitedly, grabbing Wednesday's bald head from time to time, jumping from side to side, and occasionally squatting on top of Wednesday's head, like a child playing crazy.
Hearing that the street outside was starting to be lively, Wednesday the little monkey put it in the house, and then went downstairs to buy some breakfast. But when I returned to the room, I heard the mess inside before I entered the door, and I was shocked that something was wrong, so I pushed the door and went in, only to see Chrissy jumping up and down chasing the little monkey all over the house.
Chrissy was obviously a little overwhelmed when she saw the little monkey appear here, and wanted to hold it in her hand and have fun, but the little monkey didn't give face to make it like this.
Seeing Wednesday, Chrissy panted and asked, "You, did you take this little thing?"
Wednesday shrugged, "yes, don't make a fuss, let's eat." ”
Chrissy snorted at the little monkey and washed her face.
When the little monkey saw Wednesday, he screamed excitedly twice, and then jumped on Wednesday's shoulder and jumped lightly on it.
Chrissy hurriedly washed up and ran out, grabbing Wednesday's shoulder monkey as soon as they met. It's a pity that Chrissy is weaker than ordinary people now, and the little monkey landed on Wednesday's shoulder on the other side with a slight jump.
Wednesday grabbed Chrissy by the shoulders and pressed her to the bench, "Let's eat, let's leave early after eating, don't make trouble." ”
Chrissy sat down, but her eyes never took her eyes off the little monkey on Wednesday's shoulder, and she was about to tease him from time to time.
It's a pity that the little monkey really doesn't give face, and in the face of Chrissy's overtures and threats, he doesn't care at all, and he doesn't even eat the bread that Chrissy handed over, and only eats the bread he gave it on Wednesday.
Chrissy muttered angrily, "Fortunately, I still gave you good things yesterday, otherwise who would treat you for your broken monkey's wounds?"
Wednesday smiled and said, "If you talk to it, it doesn't understand, don't be verbose, eat it quickly." ”
"By the way, Lee, does it have a name? is it male or female?" Chrissy thought of something, and quickly asked, "Do you want to call it Bebe Loris?" and quickly vetoed, "No, call it Dandan, or Qiuqiu, hmph, let it ignore me." ”
Wednesday said helplessly: "Qiuqiu?Dandan?" said and turned his head and joked: "Qiuqiu?" Seeing that the little monkey didn't react, he asked again: "What about Dandan?" The little monkey suddenly became excited for some reason, and jumped on Wednesday's shoulder, seemingly very satisfied with the name.
"Hahaha, little Dandan," Chrissy laughed when she saw this scene, and pointed at the little monkey and shouted: "Little Dandan, little Dandan, hahahaha......"
Wednesday shrugged, "That's a good name," and then said to the little monkey, "Your name will be Dandan." ”
The little monkey didn't know if he understood it, but he was just jumping around with blind joy.
While eating, Wednesday asked Chrissy, "Does the monkey have a keen sense of smell?"
Chrissy shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't heard of anything about it, but this little monkey can catch up with us, it shouldn't be bad." ”
"Hey, so you can help me find someone?"
Chrissy hesitated, "I don't know this very well, if it's a trained military dog, it's no problem, but the person you're looking for has been gone for two days, and the smell left behind must be very weak, or even completely gone, even if the military dog comes, it may not be able to find it, let alone the untrained little Dandan." ”
Wednesday groaned and asked, "Further east, are those cities, do you know?"
Chrissy shook her head, "Further east, the terrain is relatively flat, the roads are intricate, and there are many towns, how can I remember clearly?"
"So, do you have a map, or can you find a more detailed map somewhere?" said Wednesday, still unrelenting.
Chrissy frowned and said, "I have some maps, but they were confiscated by the hateful Jeffritz, if I can find them, it will be fine, now I can only try my luck in the mercenary union." ”
"Does the Mercenary Guild sell maps?" asked Wednesday in surprise.
Chrissy made a helpless expression, "How can the mercenary union sell maps, your Li family is really ......" said and remembered that Wednesday didn't like her to say that he was the Li family, and hurriedly stuck out her tongue and changed her words: "You can go to the mercenary union to issue a task and ask for one or several maps, if you are lucky, maybe someone is willing to help." ”
Well, Wednesday knew that it was the result, for a world of extremely underdeveloped transportation, maps are of little use to ordinary people, whose range of activity is limited to a small circle, so it is normal that the use of maps is not high. In addition, drawing a map is a very troublesome thing, and the value of the map is relatively high, and it is normal that it is not circulated in the market.
If you ask for a map in the mercenary union, you need to stay here for a while, which is unacceptable on Wednesday, although you know that Margaret is not in danger for the time being, but it is better to find her as soon as possible, at least to keep her whereabouts in your eyes, otherwise you will always feel uneasy.
"Forget it, I'll talk about the map later, let the little Dandan try it first, and see if we can find Margaret's whereabouts," Wednesday finally made a decision.
Chrissy naturally didn't have any opinions, and nodded in agreement.
After breakfast, Wednesday and Chrissy left the hotel in disguise, and there were not many pedestrians after leaving the city. Wednesday took the little Dan out of his arms, then took out the clothes Margaret wore and the used tent and placed them in front of the little Dandan.
Looking at Xiao Dandan's big innocent eyes, Wednesday patiently said step by step: "Smell this smell, and then find this person......"
Little Dandan didn't know if he really understood or was wrong, he really lay on Margaret's clothes and sniffed hard, and then sniffed the air, but in the end, he looked at Wednesday with an aggrieved face and waved his paws wildly.
Wednesday glanced at Chriss, not knowing what the little Dandan's action meant. However, they are mentally prepared for this result, after all, Margaret has been off for two days, and even after passing here, the smell may not be there, even if it is there, it may not be able to distinguish it from the little balls. There are people coming and going, and the various flavors are too complicated, and professional military dogs are estimated to be able to return with only feathers.
Taking advantage of the excitement and returning in defeat, Wednesday and Chrissy can only continue to hurry.
Dandan, who seemed to be disappointed in himself, crouched on Wednesday's shoulders motionless, like a child who had made a mistake. There are a lot of people on the road, and it is not convenient to carry Chrissy on Wednesday, which is too conspicuous. Let's go into the mountains and forests again, and on Wednesday I am afraid of missing Margaret's whereabouts, so if you take the road like this, you may still encounter the mark left by Margaret.
Of course, if you can take a shortcut, Wednesday doesn't mind taking a shortcut, but there is a lack of a map, and Wednesday is afraid that you will lose time by taking a shortcut. After all, the map is one thing, but it's actually another, sometimes looking at a straight road, there may be a cliff in the middle, and then you may have to take a longer detour.
If you are simply in a hurry, you can take a few more detours, and it will take a little more time. But now that he is looking for someone to chase someone, he wastes ten minutes of his time, and the chances of finding Margaret again may be reduced.
Therefore, on Wednesday, I discussed with Chrissy on the road, and simply traveled at night, if I took the main road, I was not afraid of no matter how dark it was at night, and it was a big deal to light a torch and hurry. At Wednesday's pace, running a 34-kilometre course in one night was no problem.
In this way, not only can you avoid the eyes of the vast majority of people, but you can also piggyback on Wednesday to practice your light skills. Of course, if he had the money, he could buy two horses on Wednesday, but on Wednesday he didn't have enough money, and he only had about thirty gold coins left on him, and it was enough to buy one horse, let alone two.
Of course, if you can get two horses that can be used to walk, Wednesday doesn't mind, but when you don't have any money, what other way can you get two horses besides stealing and robbing?
Rest during the day to avoid people's eyes and ears, and hurry up at night, although you have to be careful when you hurry, but looking at the rapidly improving proficiency of "Lifting Longitudinal Technique", Wednesday is still in a very good mood.
Running on the open road at night, the feeling of the world being at your own pace is indeed very refreshing. There was no one on the road, and there were no lights to be seen, only the stars and the moon in the sky emitted a faint glow, as if the whole world had been washed away.
It's a pity that Chrissy and DandanDan don't feel this way, they don't feel anything special at all when they are used to such a night sky.
Although the temple on Wednesday is also on the outskirts of the mountain, the whole sky is gray, and the shadows of the stars can be seen only a few days throughout the year, and even if there are some, they are compared to the blurred lights of the city. But no matter how beautiful the lights are, they are not as beautiful as the stars.
