【drop! Completed survival mission: collect ten kinds of edible wild vegetables today. Reward for successful mission: an alarm clock. Points: 600]

After Li Qingxiu saw the news that the mission was successful, she ignored it. All she could see now was the plump and delicious winter bamboo shoots.

Although she has money and food now, if she doesn't dig up this free food in front of her, she will feel uncomfortable.

Widow Jia dug for a while and then stood up and thumped her lower back. The winter bamboo shoots were delicious, but it was quite hard to dig them up.

Looking at the bamboo basket full of winter bamboo shoots, she said to Li Qingxiu: "Qingxiu, let's go back. No matter how many more we dig, we can't take them away. This basket can't even fit in them."

Li Qingxiu saw that his bamboo basket was sticking out, so he agreed: "Okay, let's go back after I finish digging this."

After she finished speaking, she squatted down, held the dug winter bamboo shoots with both hands, and pulled them up hard. The winter bamboo shoots burst out of the ground instantly, revealing its chubby body.

Li Qingxiu smiled with satisfaction and put it into the already full bamboo basket.

Widow Jia walked over with difficulty carrying a bamboo basket. "Let's go, I feel the wind is getting colder and colder."

So the two of them crossed the stream and walked back the way they came, carrying the heavy bamboo basket on their backs.

As the two were walking, Widow Jia suddenly let out an ouch. Li Qingxiu asked quickly: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Widow Jia covered the back of her head and said in horror: "Something just hit the back of my head. It hurts so much."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingxiu quickly looked at the back of Widow Jia's head, and then saw a small stone in her bamboo basket.

Li Qingxiu immediately became alert and looked around with a vigilant expression. This stone would not hit Widow Jia for no reason. There must be someone hiding in the dark trying to attack them.

"Who is it? Get out!"

But the only answer to Li Qingxiu was the sound of cold mountain wind.

Widow Jia, who was very frightened, pressed close to Li Qingxiu and trembled: "Qingxiu, do you think it is something dirty?"

Li Qingxiu shook his head and affirmed: "No, if something unclean would show up directly and scare us to death, why would we use such a trick as throwing stones?"

After hearing what Li Qingxiu said, Widow Jia felt a little more at ease. "What could that be? I didn't see anyone there?"

Li Qingxiu looked at the environment shrouded in darkness, and she felt somewhat uneasy, "Auntie, this place is no longer safe. Let's leave this place first."

The two of them had just turned around and walked two steps when something hit Li Qingxiu's bamboo basket and made some noise.

Li Qingxiu quickly turned around and saw a small pebble rolling on the ground.

Widow Jia was so frightened that she always felt that there must be some monster or monster nearby watching them.

Li Qingxiu was already a little angry at this time. She was just about to curse when she vaguely heard the rustling of the tree next to her.

As soon as she looked over, she saw several short black figures hiding behind two trees and staring at her and Widow Jia.

"Oh my God, there's a ghost!" Widow Jia was so frightened by the short human-like figures that she hid behind Li Qingxiu and shouted.

Although Widow Jia is taller than Li Qingxiu, it does not prevent her from finding a sense of security behind Li Qingxiu.

Widow Jia's shout just now was so harsh that Li Qingxiu couldn't help but pick her ears. Oops, the decibel almost made her deaf.

"Auntie, don't worry, that's not a ghost."

After Li Qingxiu finished speaking, she took a step towards the tree, but the ones on the opposite side immediately made a squeaking sound of resistance, and suddenly a small figure quickly ran towards Li Qingxiu.

Li Qingxiu reacted very quickly and directly raised her foot to kick the little figure far away. When she extended the kick, she also saw clearly the true face of the little figure. It was actually a monkey.

Li Qingxiu was stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be a monkey. The monkey that was kicked away didn't seem to expect that humans would fight back. After rolling a few times, it sat on the ground and grinned, making an angry squeaking sound.

At this time, other monkeys also jumped out from behind the tree and surrounded Li Qingxiu and Widow Jia, as if they wanted to regain their place.

Li Qingxiu frowned slightly when he saw a dozen monkeys of different sizes suddenly appearing on the opposite side. He did not expect to encounter a group of monkeys.

Widow Jia hid behind Li Qingxiu and looked at the scene in front of her in horror. She asked in a trembling voice: "Qing...Qingxiu, can you win against so many monkeys?"

"I don't know, I haven't fought either."

After Li Qingxiu finished speaking, he still clenched the hatchet in his hand. He stared closely at the group of monkeys in front of him. As soon as the monkeys made any movement, he would take action immediately.

Li Qingxiu's words were not modest. Monkeys are notorious pesters, and it would be very troublesome once they were targeted.

Moreover, the monkeys are very agile, so if more than a dozen of them come together, it is very likely that they will suffer a loss.

When Widow Jia heard what Li Qingxiu said, her eyes felt dark. But she gritted her teeth and warned herself not to fall. If she fainted, it would definitely hinder Li Qingxiu.

Li Qingxiu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that when faced with a group of monkeys, she could not panic and must find a way to deal with them.

She held the hatchet tightly in her hand and looked at the monkeys firmly. Seeing that she was not frightened, the monkeys began to become more restless, and some even tried to charge towards her.

Seeing this, Widow Jia suddenly grabbed Li Qingxiu's clothes in panic. "Ahhh...they are coming, don't come."

Li Qingxiu was almost knocked down by Widow Jia. She calmly comforted her: "Auntie, you don't have to be afraid, I'm here. Let go first. I can't deal with them if you grab my clothes like this."

Upon hearing this, Widow Jia quickly let go, but she felt that she felt insecure without holding anything in her hands.

So Widow Jia also took out the hatchet from her waist, then held the hatchet in one hand and the torch in the other, feeling less panicked.

At this time, Li Qingxiu slowly took a few steps back, and at the same time waved the hatchet in her hand at the monkeys to warn the monkeys on the opposite side not to mess around. Her hatchet did not recognize monkeys.

Seeing this, Widow Jia also imitated Li Qingxiu and waved the torch in her hand. She thought to herself that monkeys are also beasts and should be afraid of fire.

But the monkeys were not afraid of Li Qingxiu's hatchet at all. When they saw Li Qingxiu take a few steps back, they stepped forward a few more steps and still followed them closely.

Widow Jia almost cried, "These hateful monkeys, we have no grudge against you, why do you keep following us?"

Widow Jia’s words reminded Li Qingxiu, why do these monkeys always follow them?

Li Qingxiu paid attention to the monkeys' eyes, and saw that the monkeys' eyes were actually looking beyond them.

There were only winter bamboo shoots behind them, so Li Qingxiu guessed whether these monkeys were interested in the winter bamboo shoots in their bamboo baskets.
