Sourness

There was another gunshot.

The group of monkeys was startled by the sound of hunting guns. Some of them ran into the woods without looking back, some huddled behind the courtyard wall and looked in, and some bold ones ran up directly. He climbed up the roof, then grabbed the eaves, and looked at these strange humans with vigilant eyes.

Mi Yue also took advantage of the commotion and sneaked near the hotel's gate.

Outside the gate is a repaired dirt road, and on both sides of the dirt road are dense woods and shrubs.Even in the daytime, it is not easy to find a person hiding here, let alone it is not bright today.

Mi Yue was not at all worried that those people in the yard would find him.In fact, those people really didn't bother to think about where the two guests who escaped over the wall went.

At this moment, they have more urgent things to do.They separated, some picked the lock, and some took tools to try to remove the hinge of the iron door.

Mi Yue felt that under the current situation, they didn't want to rush to take their stuff and run away, but instead focused on how to pry open the door. This shows that they probably loaded a lot of things into the car, and they couldn't carry all of them by carrying them on their shoulders. go.

And these things, once a certain part of them are abandoned, will definitely cause them countless troubles.

In addition, the value of these things made them unable to make a choice. They would rather take the risk of taking a little longer to pry open the door, and take them all away.

Mi Yue's heart sank a little.

This discovery also reminded him that once they encounter obstacles, they will definitely use all their strength to resist.

Fortunately, the monkeys were all smart, and they didn't seem to see anyone injured when they looked through the gap in the iron gate.

A faint air current passed by his ears, Mi Yue turned around, and saw a shadow deftly passing through the intertwined branches and leaves, rushing towards his hiding place.A pair of yellow Yingying big round eyes shone brightly in the night, and they blinked cutely when they flew close.

"I brought my friends here," Xiao Mao hurriedly reported to him, "but they have that thing that makes a loud noise, and we dare not approach it."

"Remind everyone not to approach." Mi Yue touched its wings. "Did you see Big Mao? Can you find him for me?"

Miyue felt that it was safer to leave this kind of errands to the little owl.After all, he is a big man of more than 1.8 meters, and he will inevitably make some noise when walking in the woods.

Xiao Mao flapped his wings and flew away, and after a while, came back with the soft-handed big Mao.

One person and one monkey hid behind the bushes in an extremely cautious posture.

The door lock was quickly pried open, the iron gate was pulled open, and two pickups rushed out of the inn one after the other, speeding down the mountain.

Mi Yue turned on the phone's location and asked Da Mao to follow from a distance with the phone.

The mountain road is winding, even if there are no other vehicles, their speed will not be too fast.Moreover, there were dense forests along the roadside, and Da Mao followed them, so he would not be discovered so easily.

Xiao Mao was a little frustrated because he couldn't help much just now, and when he heard that Da Mao had received a new mission, he also happily brought his companions to follow.

Compared with monkeys, they have an advantage in tracking, but it is a pity that Xiaomao is too small to hold a mobile phone.As for the other birds, in such a short time, Miyue has no time to communicate with them, let alone ask them for help.

The sound of the car engine gradually faded away on the mountain road.

Mi Yue crawled out of the woods, walked through the wide open iron gate, and returned to the front yard of the hotel.He had to check whether any of the helpers hired by Da Mao were injured, and he had to find someone, such as the guy in the red-trimmed shirt just now, to borrow a mobile phone to communicate with Lin Qingshan about the situation.

Seeing him come back, the little monkey that jumped on his shoulder to beg him for peanuts flew back and climbed up holding his thigh.While climbing, he chirped and complained to him about his fright.

Miyue let him climb up her shoulders all the way.He also breathed a sigh of relief after asking that no one in the monkey group was injured.

As for whether the next step is to find the staff of the hotel, or simply follow the road down the mountain to catch up, he has not really made up his mind.He just felt that the people in the hotel might not know that these people were suspicious, but they didn't want to cause trouble and chose to turn a blind eye.

Mi Yue doesn't trust them, what if there is a closer relationship between them?What if this is also one of their dens?

Mi Yue didn't hesitate for too long, and decided to go down the mountain directly.In his hand, he still held the golden aromatherapy ball that Da Mao gave him. This thing is also a physical evidence and needs to be handed over to the police.

Mi Yue touched the aromatherapy ball in her pocket, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

The little monkey was still squatting on his shoulders, seeing that he was turning to leave, he quickly grabbed his hair and dragged him back.Mi Yue's scalp was about to fall off from being pulled by it, and she screamed, "Let go!"

The little monkey didn't let go, but motioned him to look back.

Mi Yue turned her head and saw two figures walking towards the backyard.The one in the front was wearing a red-edged shirt with his arms twisted behind his back.The person behind him was holding him with one hand and a sharp dagger in the other, he looked like a vicious bandit, and it turned out to be the old cat that Mi Yue thought had gone down the mountain first.

Mi Yue stuttered, "What... the situation?"

He also thought that since the old cat knew these people, maybe it had something to do with them.

The old cat clutched the wrist of the white shirt, pushed it forward, and said viciously: "This kid wanted to inform those people, but I stopped him."

Mi Yue had already guessed this possibility, so she was not surprised, "Is this a den of thieves?"

"No!" Bai Shirt and Lao Mao retorted in unison.

The old cat kicked the white shirt from behind, and explained to Miyue: "Old Li is the owner of the inn, but he usually lives in the city and doesn't come here often. So this kid cheats on him."

"Where's Lao Li?"

The white shirt was kicked by the old cat, ouch, ouch.

"This kid knew that these people would leave before dawn, and he was afraid that Lao Li would run into trouble again, so he took medicine for dinner, and Lao Li is still asleep at the moment." Lao Mao said, feeling a little scared, "Just Even we figured it out, and wanted us to sleep until dawn. It was the roast mutton dish last night, but luckily we didn't eat it."

The old cat simply didn't like beef and mutton, while Miyue deliberately avoided the two dishes with heavy seasonings because he was busy feeding the little owls.

Of course at this moment he also understood that it was because of the medicine that he was afraid that people would taste it, so he intentionally made the taste of the dishes so strong.

"He's the only cook?"

"There should be another one." The old cat said, "That one should stay here at night. For the specific situation, let the comrades in the police investigate."

"Brother, please forgive me..." Bai Shiyi twisted his neck with difficulty and pleaded with the old cat, "I'm really not their accomplice... They don't come here often..."

"Save this nonsense to the police." The old cat unceremoniously tapped the back of his neck with the handle of the knife, knocking him unconscious.

Both Miyue and the little monkey on his shoulder were taken aback by his actions.

The little monkey subconsciously dodged backwards following Mi Yue's movements, almost falling off Mi Yue's shoulders, and grabbed Mi Yue's hair in a frantic manner.

Mi Yue, "..."

Mi Yue hissed and gasped, thinking that she must be going bald this time.

The old cat suppressed a smile, took out the mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to him, "Quickly ask."

He also saw the scene of Mi Yue handing over the mobile phone to the monkey just now, and he probably used the location to tip off the police.Monkey doesn't know if he can come back...

Mi Yue quickly took the phone and called Lin Qingshan.

In such a short time, his teacher must not be able to chase him from Lingxi Mountain, but the police must have obtained the news through Lin Qingshan.

When the phone was connected, Mi Yue just said "Hello" when Lin Qingshan asked anxiously, "Mi Yue? Where are you now? Are you safe?"

"It's safe." Mi Yue hurriedly asked him, "My phone's location... can I receive it?"

Lin Qingshan hurriedly said that he received it, and said that the police had stopped the two pickups on the way down the mountain.No matter how specific the situation was, he was not clear about it, he just reminded Miyue to cooperate with the police in the registration and appraisal of the stolen items.

After hanging up the phone, Mi Yue returned the phone to Lao Mao and asked him, "What about this man?"

The old cat knew that he was asking about the white shirt.He took a cigarette from his pocket, and sat down lazily on the steps, "Nothing to do, just wait and hand it over to the police."

Mi Yue sat down beside him.Just now because of nervousness, he didn't feel much about running and climbing over the wall, but now when he sat down, he immediately felt sore all over his body.

The old cat looked him up and down, "Your physical fitness is not very good."

Miyue was unhappy, "I am the standard of a normal person, okay?"

The old cat was happy, "Aren't you working in the research institute on the mountain? Then you have to climb the mountain road often?"

Mi Yue felt a little resentful, "It's all hitchhiking."

In addition to the pickup truck he drove, there is also a semi-old off-road vehicle in their institute, which belongs to Lin Qingshan, but he doesn't use it very much himself. After all these years, it has almost become the public vehicle of the research institute.

Therefore, there are not many opportunities for them to really need them to climb the mountain. Outside of normal work, the heaviest physical work Miyue has ever done is growing vegetables in the backyard of the research institute.

Digging, sowing, fertilizing...

Of course, sometimes you need to fight with a group of monkeys that come out of the mountains and harm the vegetable fields with a big broom.Don't underestimate these wild monkeys, they call for friends, come and go like the wind, and they are so naughty that they want to go to heaven.

Miyue also caught a few monkeys and patiently reasoned with them, but these little creatures promised well in person, and they still came to grab their food in a few days.And because they found a two-legged beast that could communicate with them, they came here with even more interest, and often hopped around in the vegetable field, calling his name in a high-pitched voice, "Miyue! Miyue!"

Mi Yue, "..."

At times like this, Miyue can't help but have a deep empathy with the suffering Tang Sanzang in the story.

He finally realized the pain and difficulty of educating monkeys.

But he didn't plan to tell the old cat about these things.
