They returned directly to the cave. The white tiger and the black snake huddled at the entrance of the cave. They stayed in the same place, not daring to run around or even raising their heads. They were as well-behaved as domestic pets.
Jiang Yue glanced at it and saw that the wounds on the two bodies were recovering well. It would take another three to five days to fully recover, which was much stronger than their human healing abilities.
She thought for a moment and said, "Kitten, go into the hole."
The white tiger and the black snake just watched intently, while the kitten followed obediently and happily went in, like Orion's tamed dog...
So spineless!
Jiang Yue found a big stone and used it as a stool. She sat on it and looked down at the kitten sitting obediently on the ground.
"You have a grudge against that chimpanzee?"
The kitten hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"What kind of hatred is it?"
He meowed several times. Jiang Yue had a headache and asked, "Can you speak human language?"
——There seems to be an ambiguity in this statement. She reorganized her words and said, "Can you speak the language of us normal people?"
Seeing that he still nodded, he said, "Then you become a human and talk to me."
She suddenly thought of something and interrupted, "Hey, wait a minute!"
Under Jiang Nian's dissatisfied eyes, Jiang Yue took out a set of his old clothes and threw them to the kitten.
She closed her eyes, "Wear this after you transform."
Being naked is indecent - this is also their human rule.
Fortunately, Orion taught them how to dress before, but within a quarter of an hour, a childish boy's voice came to Jiang Yue's ears, "Okay."
She opened her eyes and saw a young man kneeling in front of her, about 1.56 meters tall. He had a delicate face, a pair of moist round eyes, and his short hair was loose and smooth.
Jiang Nian's clothes were so wide that they covered his whole body, and his trousers had to be folded up quite a bit to prevent them from dragging on the floor.
This is a young boy who has just entered junior high school in modern times. She instantly felt that she was bullying a child.
"You, you can stand up or sit down, don't kneel."
"Oh." He didn't like standing either, so he sat on the ground, hugging his knees tightly, and his little pointed ears could still move.
"Tell me what this mountain is like."
He tilted his head and stared at Jiang Yue, seemingly confused, and slowly said, "What does 'situation' mean?"
The tongue is stiff, as if he doesn't speak often. Jiang Yue was helpless, feeling like she was back when Da Zai first learned to speak.
"Then just let me ask you the questions."
She tried to use easy-to-understand words, "Is this mountain called Tianxia Mountain?"
"yes."
"Are there many beasts like you here that can turn into humans?"
"not much."
"About how many?"
"I don't know."
Jiang Yue was speechless.
"How many do you know?"
He stretched out his short, fat little hand and began to count his fingers carefully, and finally concluded, "Four."
"Which four?"
"Tiger, snake, fox, me."
The fox should refer to the vixen, but I didn’t expect them to know each other.
"Why do you guys stay together?"
Logically speaking, animals of different species would not live together. Not to mention fierce predators like tigers and snakes, who only kill each other.
"We became humans and were raised by hunters. We ate and slept together."
"Hunter?" She thought of the charred hut, "Do you live in front of the bamboo forest?"
"Yes, dead."
"For what reason?"
"The fox seduced him, and the lady got angry, so she killed him and then burned the house down."
Jiang Yue was stunned. This was really a tragic story. No wonder the kitten looked sad.
"The fox..."
He stared, his cheeks bulging, as if he was very angry, "I hate foxes, drive her away, go to work, and find prey!"
She suddenly understood that the foxes had worked so hard. It turned out that they were forced to hunt to raise these few as atonement.
She asked again, "Will the chimpanzee I saw today turn into a human?"
He shook his head, "No."
"Then why are you so afraid of it?"
The kitten frowned and explained, "It is very powerful and strong! It steals prey!"
Jiang Nian sneered, and his light eyes made his face turn red instantly, and he felt that he had no future.
Jiang Yue said she understood. Chimpanzees are tall and strong, with well-developed upper limbs and few natural enemies.
She once saw a video of an angry gorilla that could break a huge glass with one punch.
The kitten in front of me could still be considered a small beast if it had claws, but that was to fragile humans. Facing such a large and ferocious beast as a chimpanzee, it is just a small thing shaking a tree. It can hit this kitten until its brain explodes with just one punch.
Moreover, apes and primates are similar to humans and are very intelligent. In addition, it dodges quickly and can climb trees, giving it two more skills than a tiger.
Tigers rely on explosive power to hunt, and this method is not suitable for fighting chimpanzees in the forest.
Therefore, Jiang Yue could imagine that when these three met chimpanzees in the past, they would most likely choose to avoid them. This is not cowardly either.
"So chimpanzees often steal prey?" Generally, chimpanzees eat more fruits and other plants and are vegetarians. They occasionally prey on some insects but eat less animals. But maybe due to the impact of the disaster years, it may have mutated.
The kitten nodded heavily, "Yeah!"
He was robbed twice but did not dare to fight. The chimpanzee knocked down a tree with one punch and he was scared.
Jiang Yue frowned, the orangutan had a grudge, maybe he would remember their smell and follow them. She and Jiang Nian are often together, so she is not afraid, but her mule...
It seems that they have to keep a close eye on their mules recently.
Jiang Nian didn't take it seriously. The orangutan was powerful, but he wasn't a vegetarian either.
He touched Jiang Yue's head and smoothed the wrinkles between his eyebrows, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
The kitten looked envious, "Can I come with you?"
Before she could answer, Jiang Nian refused coldly, "No."
Today is already very unhappy, and he does not allow anything else to occupy Yueyue's attention for a long time.
Jiang Yue nodded. She didn't like too many people following her, "You guys can only live at the entrance of the cave and can't come in."
The kitten sniffed, his face wrinkled, he still wanted to worship the mountain, but he was so ruthless...
He transformed back into a little kitten, slipped out of his loose clothes, and returned to the entrance of the cave.
White Tiger and Black Snake were disgusted and thought he was rebellious, so they turned their heads away from him.
"Meow meow~"
He was used to acting coquettishly, burrowing into the white tiger's chest and licking his fur.
Bai Hu disliked him, but he didn't push him away. I just used my claws to ravage it.
After Jiang Yue learned about the dangers of chimpanzees, she just wanted to avoid their sharp edges and not engage in unnecessary battles. Simply stay in the cave and prepare for the winter.
It's a pity that she didn't look for trouble, but trouble came to them.
There were sounds of being beaten and the roar of orangutans outside the cave.
