Chapter 175: fright
Xia Feng only felt that the hairs on his body stood up after hearing this, because he always felt like monkeys, orangutans, animals that were close to humanoids, were very terrifying.
Because they also think, you have no idea what they are thinking when you cage them or feed them every day.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "monkey spirit", which is to describe the cleverness of monkeys, which is the same as that of a spirit.
Xia Hongyuan held up a cup of coffee on the table with trembling hands, and he didn't continue until he drank the whole cup of coffee:
"Zheng Xiangyang was carrying a cage with monkeys, and on the way, a few of us kept stabbing them with tree branches.
However, the monkey was very calm, his body didn't even move, just a pair of eyes, staring at us all the time.
I hate that kind of stare, because it's like being stared at from behind by the enemy.
I told Zheng Xiangyang that these two monkeys probably knew that we brought them back to eat them.
Zheng Xiangyang didn't care after hearing it, and even wanted to find a fellow directly, and then ask them to help kill the two monkeys.
But in the end we didn’t do that, because the people in the village who sold their monkeys had promised to buy them back just to keep them for fun and not eat them, so they were worried that they would be discovered.
So I took it straight back to the camp.
The camp is not allowed to bring animals such as cats and dogs, even more impossible for monkeys.
But because they didn't talk to the cook, they couldn't send the monkey directly there.
Had to temporarily hide where we lived.
The six of us slept in the same tent, and we were checked every day, but Dong Jie's father was in charge of it at the time, so hiding a monkey was no problem.
Originally, I thought that I would talk to the people in the cooking class and open a small stove for us tomorrow, but because a lot of recruits have come here recently, the cooking class is not busy at all.
And the discipline in the army is very strict. Everyone eats the same food. If someone is found to be eating a small stove, not only the person who eats it will be punished, but the person who does it will also be implicated.
So the cooking class didn't dare to take this risk.
Zheng Xiangyang bought monkeys for food. He had no intention of raising them at all, so he was a little anxious after hearing that, saying that we were all about to leave, and we were not afraid of taking any risks. Keep going up.
The two of them are fellow villagers, and because they were expecting Zheng Xiangyang to go back and help the family, they finally agreed.
He just told them to wait a few more days for the new recruits to settle down, and then he chose to open a small stove for them when their squad leader was not around.
But he only provides things, as for killing monkeys, he doesn't care what he does.
The cooks in the army are also soldiers, not professional chefs, let alone cook things like monkeys. In ancient times, only some famous chefs could master the skills.
We didn't care about this at the time, we just wanted to make it fresh and have a place to cook it, so it didn't matter how it tasted.
After all, there was nothing good to eat there at that time, and the boss was excited to eat meat.
Zheng Xiangyang came back and told us what happened, then patted the cage of the monkeys, and told the two monkeys bluntly that they still had a few days to live.
Although your father was not a good stalker back then, he had no pursuit of food. Like your Uncle Zheng and Uncle Dong, the snakes and scorpions that you ate, I always didn't eat a single bite.
So I just told Zheng Xiangyang directly and said that you can eat what you like. Anyway, I don't eat these messy things.
Not wanting to eat is one aspect, and more importantly, I am a little scared in my heart.
I didn't think too much about it at that time, but looking back now, since I saw those two monkeys, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
The feeling intensified when the monkeys were brought back to camp and put into the tent where we slept.
In the evening we finished our meal, came back from the exercise, and fell asleep not long after laying down.
In the middle of the night, I was dazed and heard a voice in the tent, so I rubbed my eyes and sat up, only to see Zheng Xiangyang's head with two pairs of blood-red eyes.
I was startled at the time, so I quickly took out a flashlight from under the pillow and looked at it. As a result, I saw the two monkeys still sitting in the cage, motionless.
It's just that when I look at them, their eyes are black, not the blood red I've seen before.
But when I turned off the flashlight, it always felt like there were two pairs of blood red eyes staring at me again.
I felt very uncomfortable inside, but when I looked back, it was completely dark all around, and I couldn't see the two monkeys at all.
Finally, I got up a little bit unbearably, and then covered the cage with the monkey with my clothes, and then I felt relieved and lay down again.
But the feeling of being peeped never disappeared, and I hardly slept all night.
The next day, my eyes were very swollen. Zheng Xiangyang and the others asked me what was wrong, and I told them directly that they saw blood in the eyes of the two monkeys at night, which was very scary.
As a result, not only did they not believe it, but they also laughed at me.
Said that I was quite an adult, but I was even frightened by two wild monkeys.
However, the strange thing did not end there. The next night it was my turn to stand guard at night. I stood on the wooden tower alone and could almost see the entire camp.
It was very windy at night, my clothes were blown with a "lielie" sound, and I was unlucky enough to be blinded.
Half-squinting, seeing no one around, he relaxed and tried to get the sand out of his eyes.
But at this moment, I heard a few "beep" sounds from below.
He subconsciously looked down and I was startled. I actually saw two monkeys, slowly climbing up.
And the two monkeys are exactly the same as the two in the cage.
I don't know how the monkey got out of the cage, but when it was my turn to stand guard, it would definitely not be able to leave, so I pretended not to see it.
And there is still some schadenfreude in my heart, waiting for tomorrow to see Zheng Xiangyang's sad face because the monkey ran away.
But before I could finish thinking about it, I felt a sudden sway on the wooden tower, and I didn't stand firm and fell directly to the ground.
He hurriedly poked his head out and looked under the wooden tower, only to see two tall monsters.
The heads of the two monsters are not big, and they look exactly like monkeys. Each of them is more than two meters high, and their arms are very thick, and they are hitting the wooden tower with force.
I was so frightened at the time that I fired the gun. As soon as the gunshot rang, the wooden building was knocked down, and I fell directly from it, and then completely fainted. "
