Chapter 551: Chapter 284 Invitation_2

They were numerous, carrying torches, which would normally scare off the wildlife, but the wolf pack, driven mad by hunger and confident in their numbers, still attempted to charge and eat them. They all carried Three-Eyed Fire Muskets, and since the wolves were packed closely together, one shot would hit at least two wolves. Plus, the loud sound of the muskets finally instilled fear in the wolves, forcing them to abandon the prey right before them and flee.

He continued, "Monkey Brother and Monkey Sister are truly clever, one knew to break through the siege to run back and bring the news, and the other knew to carry them up the trees..."

When Qian Yixiu heard that only Monkey Brother was severely injured and that the rest of the members weren’t in grave danger, she felt somewhat relieved. She had brought only one Red Demon Fruit as a precaution. If it was just Monkey Brother, she might be able to save him.

She said to Liang Jinzhao, "Thank you, General Liang. If not for your help, they wouldn’t have made it back."

Liang Zhaojin replied, "Miss Qian is too polite. We’ve been friends for many years, such a small favor means nothing."

Qian Yixiu also mentioned that she had asked Butler Pan to give the soldiers a small token of appreciation to thank them for their help, asking him not to mention them.

Liang Jinzhao laughed, "Always so thoughtful. Since I’ve brought them out, I won’t let them go unrewarded. Alright, alright, since you’ve given something, let it be. Next time there’s trouble here, they’ll be able to move faster."

A little while later, a military doctor reported that, aside from the monkey who hadn’t awakened, the other dogs and a wolf were out of danger. The monkey’s fatal injury was in its belly, where its skin was torn, and intestines had spilled out. Fortunately, they were not severed, and had been pushed back in and wrapped up. If it woke up by tomorrow, it would be out of danger; if it couldn’t, the situation would become perilous.

Having been delayed for so long, Liang Jinzhao left Doctor Xia behind and then took his subordinates and left.

Upon entering the western wing, Qian Yixiu saw that the Dashan family had all woken up. They were bandaged up, weeping around the lying Monkey Brother. Monkey Sister was even more upset, crying out loud.

Qian Yixiu sat next to Monkey Brother. Stretching out, Monkey Brother was about one meter forty, taller and more robust than an average Fierce Red Monkey. Now, its body was wrapped in bandages, with only its head and left forelimb intact. Eyes closed, it was frail and no longer showed its usual mischief and ferocity.

Recalling the first time she saw it, it was just over a year old, small, with eyes full of helplessness and resignation. After that, it stayed with her, companions through seven years. Because of it, her family’s life improved quickly, and she was able to secure the good things she set her eyes on... She treated it like a younger brother, a child. Its suffering saddened her more than her own.

She touched the Red Demon Fruit in her arms, relieved to have it. If Monkey Brother still didn’t wake up by tomorrow, she would feed it to him.

Qian Yixiu and the House of Animals all stayed by Monkey Brother’s side, and even though Sister Gong was reluctant, she didn’t dare to persuade otherwise, since she had seen that Qian Yixiu considered the House of Animals as family. She had no choice but to stay and accompany her along with Blue Bead.

During the night, the exhausted Qian Yixiu and Blue Bead napped on the table. She would close her eyes for a quarter of an hour, then open them to check on Monkey Brother.

At night, Doctor Xia would occasionally come to see Monkey Brother, administering medicine on schedule. Sister Gong kept her eyes wide open, ensuring that the entering Doctor Xia remained straightforward and focused.

As the chickens in the backyard began to crow and the sound of sweeping filled the yard, dawn was approaching. Qian Yixiu couldn’t bear to blink, watching for any response from Monkey Brother. Holding the Red Demon Fruit in her lap, she knew the medicine was potent, but timing its use was the hardest part.

Suddenly, Monkey Brother’s right hand moved slightly, and its eyelids twitched. Although its eyes didn’t open, it was enough to surprise Qian Yixiu greatly. She exclaimed, "Hurry and find Doctor Xia, Monkey Brother is moving, Monkey Brother is moving!"

Doctor Xia came, checked Monkey Brother, lifted its eyelids for a look, and smiled, "Miss Qian, be at ease, the monkey is out of danger now."

Qian Yixiu, upon hearing this, burst into tears of excitement. Hearing the news, the House of Animals also felt relieved.

Monkey Brother woke up around noon, and upon seeing Qian Yixiu, it even managed a weak smile.

Three days later, Qian Yixiu left for the Capital City with Qian Sangui and the House of Animals. Jack and Sean stayed behind temporarily to help build the Glass Factory.

Before leaving, Qian Yixiu specifically spoke with Pan Shoufu and his wife about Jack’s situation. Though in the hinterland, local people marrying foreigners was inconceivable, such things sometimes happened in the borderlands. Moreover, princesses marrying into Fan Di and uniting with foreigners was not unheard of. Although the Great Qian Kingdom had never sent princesses for marriage alliances, both the Previous Dynasty and the one before it had such traditions. Therefore, marrying a foreigner was not impossible.
