Chapter 126: An Exchange With A Golden Monkey
The little golden monkey was fluffy and soft, very good to hold and pet.
However…
Qin Wanwan herself was still a little meat bun, and the little monkey was still a bit too big for her.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t hold it, it was just that she couldn’t see the road ahead when she held it.
She almost lost her footing and fell with the monkey and herself, and Qin Wanwan patted the little golden monkey’s head with her small chubby hands.
“Monkey, you go down first, I’ll hold you when I can see the road again.”
The little monkey’s fur was a warm golden color. Her Daddy Shang would definitely like this shiny golden color; it looked very noble.
“Squeak.”
The little monkey obediently let go of its claws and landed, but it didn’t leave. Instead, it stood beside the little milk bun and took her hand with one of its paws.
Qin Wanwan smiled and held its hand. The little monkey’s movements were light and agile, and it bounced along as it walked, which was especially cute.
As the little girl walked, she was influenced and started bouncing too.
So the other little monkeys also boldly came closer, bouncing next to Wanwan.
The adults watched this group of furry bundles, and their hearts melted.
So cute, so well-behaved.
They arrived at the persimmon tree again.
Qin Wanwan, surrounded by a group of golden monkeys, pointed at the persimmons on the tree with her rather majestic little chubby hands.
“Little ones, go pick the persimmons!”
“Squeak!”
A group of golden monkeys chattered and rushed up the tree.
They darted among the branches, and their movements were truly nimble and agile.
In just a moment, they had climbed to the top of the branches.
The monkeys’ hands were very agile, and they quickly picked the persimmons.
However, they could only carry two persimmons at most before coming down.
The monkeys that picked the persimmons quickly descended the tree and placed the persimmons into the basket.
Qin Wanwan petted each of them and also shared the snacks she had secretly traded for.
If you’re making them work, you have to give them something to eat.
Today’s snacks were dried fruits and nuts of various kinds.
Qin Wanwan used her sachet as a cover and took out a small handful of fragrant and crispy banana chips.
The little monkeys didn’t know what this was, but they could smell that it was fragrant.
Without thinking, they immediately put it in their mouths and took a bite.
They would know if it was edible by taking a bite.
The result was that after one bite, the golden monkeys were immediately stunned, their eyes wide open.
Delicious, delicious, so delicious!
Qin Wanwan: “Three snacks for one persimmon. Those who have traded, move aside.”
Besides banana slices, there were also dried apples, dried peaches, etc., all of which were crispy.
Qin Wanwan took a bite herself because it smelled so good. Delicious~
They were originally helping out, but they didn’t expect to get snacks.
The monkeys became even more enthusiastic, scrambling up the tree one after another, holding persimmons to exchange with Qin Wanwan.
The onlookers were stunned.
It… it could be like this?
This child really seemed to be able to talk to monkeys; it was amazing.
Zhuang Sheng: What is that thing? It looks very delicious!
Qin Wanwan felt his envious gaze and happily shared some with them.
The persimmons on the tree were now completely picked, and the golden monkeys had all earned delicious snacks through their labor.
Both the people and the monkeys were very satisfied with this transaction.
The golden monkeys finished their dried fruits and still had some lingering desire.
“Squeak!”
We also know where there are more fruits, we’ll trade fruits for delicious food!
Qin Wanwan’s eyes sparkled: “Let’s go!”
So, led by the monkeys, they continued to look for wild fruits.
Having lived here for so long, the golden monkeys were very familiar with the surrounding forest.
They also knew which areas were the territory of fierce beasts and directly led them around the dangerous areas.
Qin Wanwan was not afraid, but other ordinary people were.
They found another persimmon tree, and there was also a patch of wild pear trees nearby.
The autumn pears were also ripe.
This area was quite fertile, and with the fertilization from the manure of the monkeys and other animals, the size of the pears was not much different from those specifically cultivated by farmers.
It’s just that the skin of these wild autumn pears was a bit thick.
After peeling, the flesh inside was snow-white and tasted clear and sweet with juice.
There were quite a few pear trees in this area.
The golden monkeys skillfully climbed the trees, handed the picked fruits to Qin Wanwan, and looked at her with their big eyes, eager to exchange for delicious food.
Qin Wanwan was not stingy and traded for all of them.
In the end, the persimmons and pears alone filled the containers they had brought.
The pears were packed in sacks, and the persimmons were put in baskets for fear of bruising.
“That’s enough, that’s enough, no more. We’ll come again next time.”
“Squeak~”
The golden monkeys were still a little reluctant; they knew where many other wild fruits grew.
“We’re going back now. We’ll come play with you again next time, okay?”
After bidding farewell to the reluctant golden monkeys, Qin Wanwan left with her guards.
The golden monkeys escorted them for a long way.
After walking for a long time, they could still see golden monkeys looking towards them from the trees.
Zhuang Sheng was also a little reluctant: “They are so smart; I don’t want to leave them.”
After he finished speaking, Zhuang Sheng was slapped by his father.
“You don’t want to stay here to be fed to wild beasts, do you? What are you so moved about? They’re not reluctant to part with you!”
Zhuang Sheng rubbed his head: “Dad, hit me lightly. What if I become stupid if you keep hitting me?”
“You’re already stupid, can you get any stupider?”
Although Hunter Zhuang was verbally dismissive, he was actually quite excited in his heart.
He had been to these deep mountains quite a few times, and he knew that monkeys were smart, but he never expected them to be this smart.
Ultimately, it was because of the child from the noble family.
He had seen clearly that the child could truly converse with those monkeys and even command them!
As expected of a child from a noble family, so unique.
In fact, the guards who followed Qin Wanwan were also bewildered.
They didn’t know about this either.
A group of people walked out of the mountain carrying back baskets and bamboo baskets.
Passing the place where they had dug for ginseng, the two guards who had stayed behind had already dug out the wild ginseng.
The ginseng roots were truly long and lush.
The guard holding the ginseng was exceptionally careful with his movements.
Qin Wanwan glanced at it: “Oh, it’s five hundred years old.”
Everyone: “!!!”
No, is the young lady joking or serious?
Is this really five hundred years old?!
Wild ginseng is very valuable if it’s over a hundred years old; it can’t be bought for less than a thousand taels of silver.
The older it is, the more valuable it becomes. Three hundred years old already has a price but no market.
This item can save lives, and wealthy families collect them to be used in emergencies.
Five-hundred-year-old ginseng is basically only possessed by great noble families with deep foundations or royal nobles, and not everyone has it.
Thousand-year-old ginseng is even rarer, found only in the emperor’s private treasury or the private treasury of the patriarchs of great noble families, with only one or two pieces.
The guard holding the ginseng became even more cautious.
Qin Wanwan didn’t care. She had seen ginseng spirits that had transformed into humans before; a mere five-hundred-year-old ginseng was nothing to her Little Qilin, who had vast experience!
