Unexpectedly, when I saw Chujiu, the first person rushing towards me was not Lanyan, but Xingxing.
As for how I know this monkey is a star.
Because the moment it jumped from the tree onto Chujiu's neck, Xiaoyu called it a star.
When approaching the cave where Lan Yan was, Chujiu slowed down and focused on exploring the grass with a bamboo pole, fearing that there was a trap set by Lan Yan in the grass.
At that time, Chujiu was staring at the grass on the ground intently. It was not that he ignored the sky, but the stars were hidden so well that none of us noticed.
Xingxing must have discovered the three of us a long time ago and deliberately hid us in advance.
Just when Chujiu was looking at the ground most intently, he jumped down from the tree.
"Zhizhizhi~"
The moment Chujiu recognized the stars, he stopped dodging and threw the stars and jumped onto his shoulders.
Xingxing bared his teeth and patted Chujiu's head with one paw happily.
"What's the big deal? You can't find me even if I hide."
Xingxing was about to turn over the bamboo basket on Chujiu's back, but Chujiu lifted him off. Xingxing shouted at Chujiu dissatisfied.
"Chujiu, can you understand what the stars are saying?"
Xiaoyu looked at Chujiu in confusion. Chujiu's answer was that he didn't understand because he just guessed.
"Zhizhizhi~"
Xingxing ran to Xiaoyu, patted Xiaoyu's legs with his paws, pointed at me and called out a few times.
Xiaoyu told Xingxing that my injury had healed a long time ago. This time I came to Xingxing and Lanyan to play and brought delicious food.
Xingxing grinned at me and patted his chest with his paws.
Xiaoyu translated to me that Xingxing meant that with his protection, no one could hurt me.
I was amused by Xingxing and praised Xingxing for being so powerful. He was injured while protecting me last time.
Unexpectedly, Xingxing rolled his eyes at me and shouted at Xiaoyu again.
Xiaoyu told me angrily that Xingxing had just told her that I didn't believe that Xingxing could protect me at all.
This monkey is so smart, he can sense words and emotions, and even knows what I am thinking.
I smiled helplessly and told Xingxing that I wanted him to eat well so that he could protect me when he grows up.
After I finished speaking, Xingxing jumped directly to Chujiu's shoulder, patted Chujiu's head with one paw, pointed at me with the other and started yelling. From time to time, Xingxing would pat his chest with a claw.
Looking at the look of the star, I guessed that I really made it unhappy.
"Guo Guo, Xingxing did make the greatest contribution among us at that time. If it weren't for Xingxing, we would have put in more effort to protect you that night."
Xingxing kept nodding at me, and stretched out one paw to the bamboo basket behind Chujiu again.
"Xingxing, stop making trouble and come to my sister's place. I'll give you something to eat when you get there."
When Xingxing heard Xiaoyu's shout, she ran up to Xiaoyu and made a flattering face.
Chujiu told me in a low voice that Xingxing, as the guardian beast in the village, has really terrifying abilities.
When Xingxing goes crazy, his body will become bigger and he can tear evil ghosts apart directly.
Chu Jiu specially made a gesture on my body with his hand, which meant that after the stars changed, they would be taller than me.
I remembered Lanxi telling me that she heard a violent noise at the last moment, like a heavy object cracking the stone wall.
Is it possible that the achievement is the work of stars?
When I looked at the stars again, I could never imagine how such a tiny monkey could smash through a stone wall more than a foot wide.
There was a "bang" and white smoke was rising from the ground not far in front of us.
Lan Yan, who was dozens of meters away, was holding a shotgun, shouting loudly that we should be prepared to not get through here.
The moment he saw Lan Yan, Chujiu rushed over. When Xingxing chased after him, the two of them were already rolling on the ground.
Lan Yan, who was superb in marksmanship, was naturally unable to compete with Chujiu, so he was punished by Chujiu. Unconvinced, he got up and wanted to test his marksmanship with Chujiu.
"Lanyan?"
Xiaoyu couldn't stand the nonsense between the two and scolded her, but Lanyan immediately stood aside obediently and called Sister Xiaoyu.
"Hahaha, Lanyan is actually afraid of Sister Xiaoyu?"
Chujiu laughed heartlessly, and Lan Yan waved her hand at me and whispered that even the stars are afraid of Sister Xiaoyu.
I looked back at Xiaoyu, who looked proud. They are nurses who are best at dealing with disobedient children.
The cave where Lan Yan lives is still very simple, except for the addition of a small bamboo bed. The wooden bed where he originally slept should have become a star's nest.
"Here, have a drink. I'll let you drink as much as you want this time."
Chu Jiu took out two bottles of drinks and threw one to Lan Yan.
As expected, Lanyan was very happy for a long time when he saw Chujiu taking out a whole box of drinks from the bamboo basket.
Just as Lanyan and Chujiu were unscrewing the drink bottles, Xiaoyu signaled me with her eyes.
Xingxing was quietly moving towards the drink box behind Chujiu.
"Xingxing, let's see if I catch you and beat you!"
When Lan Yan and Chujiu reacted, Xingxing picked up a bottle of drink and rushed out of the cave.
By the time I walked out of the cave, Xingxing was already sitting on a tree branch, twisting the drink open and taking a sip.
"Zhizhizhi~"
Star grinned, slapped the tree trunk with one hand, and shouted happily.
Lan Yan muttered that he had to find a place to hide the remaining drinks, thinking for a long time that no matter where he hid, the stars would find him.
"I think you should share it equally with the stars, so that you won't be able to drink a bottle after you hide it."
Chujiu patted Lan Yan's shoulder sympathetically, this was the best way.
Lan Yan looked grim and drooped his head, asking Xiao Yu what to do.
Xiao Yu looked into the depths of the cave with her eyes. Lan Yan suddenly became ecstatic and ran towards the cave with the drink box in hand.
Just when Xingxing jumped down from the tree and roared dissatisfiedly at Xiaoyu.
Only then did I realize that Xiaoyu asked Lanyan to hide the drink under the water.
"Try shouting at me again? Which of your ears heard that I told Lanyan to hide it in the water? Believe it or not, I told you not to drink the bottle in your hand?"
Xiaoyu stared at Xingxing who shouted to her. Xingxing immediately shut up in fear and jumped to a tree branch, hugging the drink bottle tightly.
"Sister Xiaoyu, let's go together to see if we have caught any rabbits. Rabbits in spring are fatter and more tender, and they taste best when grilled."
Chujiu was the first to nod in agreement, and happened to have brought two handfuls of instant noodles. He wanted to sprinkle the seasoning powder on the roast rabbit and eat it.
Lan Yan, who had just walked out of the cave, suddenly returned to the cave and said that he had forgotten to bring something. Xiao Yu shook his head speechlessly.
This scene coincidentally was not seen by Chujiu, otherwise Chujiu would have just returned to Lanyan and returned to the cave to hide the instant noodles.
We were lucky, Lan Yan made a total of ten traps around the cave, the first nine were empty, and the last trap contained a small hare.
"Hehe, it's a treat. Lanyan's roasted rabbit is definitely a must-have."
Chujiu, who was walking in front, was holding a hare in his hand, jumping up and down.
