Chapter 205: Chapter 207 Locusts Are Coming 1

So as soon as she saw Helian Qiao, she was immediately frightened and started whining and begging for mercy, constantly bowing in a nod of surrender.

The plum deer, on the other hand, obediently lay on the ground without moving, looking even tamer than a pet rabbit.

Chen Erbao was astonished at the sight of the monkey bowing to ask for mercy and started shouting out loud: "Look at this, the monkey is bowing in greeting for the New Year!"

He had never seen a monkey bow in greeting for the New Year before!

The young master Gu was quite calm. He had seen monkeys perform acrobatics before, and knew that monkeys were smarter and more spiritually aware than other animals.

The Little Princess was completely unfazed. In her original world, there were sentient animals everywhere.

No one responded, but Chen Erbao wasn’t embarrassed. He eagerly reached out, wanting to feel the monkey’s fur.

This action caused the monkey to be even more terrified. Tears overflowed from its eyes, its misty gaze evoked a sense of sympathy.

Chen Erbao, being half-grown and tender-hearted, immediately softened: "It’s so pitiful being tied up. Why don’t we release it?"

Completely forgetting that just two minutes ago, he was so angry that he wanted to beat up the monkey for stealing fish.

Helian Qiao was firm: "No! It stole my fish!"

Only the incompetent Dragon Clan would let a food thief go unpunished!

Whether the monkey understood human speech was unknown, but it started bowing to Chen Erbao and Gu Tingyun, its watery eyes filled with a plea for mercy and a display of desire.

Chen Erbao became even softer and, scratching his head, said: "But the fish has been eaten already, even if you ask it to vomit, it can’t."

The young master Gu also spoke, but he was coaxing Guibao: "Guibao, we can’t eat monkey meat, raising it would waste food, why don’t we let it go and then we can go to my house and eat ham, okay?"

Helian Qiao thought about it and that seemed to be the case, so she reluctantly nodded: "Fine, let it be spared this time."

She was not the incompetent dragon, but she was swayed by the persuasive argument.

The monkey immediately shook its head and motioned as if saying it would never dare to steal the Great Demon King’s things again!

Chen Erbao excitedly stepped forward wanting to untie the rope to release the monkey. Gu Tingyun, however, said: "If you let it go here, it’ll be caught by the villagers nearby. Let’s take it to the foot of the mountain for release."

Although people generally don’t eat monkey meat, they really lacked oil.

So Chen Erbao untied the rope tied to the fence and happily led the monkey, running ahead of the others.

Soon, the three of them reached the foot of the mountain. Seeing its home right in front of its eyes, there was a hint of longing in the monkey’s gaze.

Gu Tingyun walked up to untie the rope for him, while reminding: "Don’t come down the mountain to steal food next time."

After freeing the monkey, instead of rushing off, it respectfully bowed to the three of them before turning around and disappearing into the forest.

Swiftly, it swung from tree to tree and soon vanished from their sight.

As August was drawing near, it was about to be the busiest time for the villagers.

The rice in the fields was ripe and plentiful, and this year’s rainfall was decent. As the primary source of food for the entire village, many people were looking eagerly at the fields, relieved that they could finally fill their stomachs this year.

The commune originally planned to organize all labor forces in the last few days of the month to rush to harvest the rice.

But one morning, just as dawn broke, the newly replaced loudspeaker in the village blared out the team leader’s shouting: "Everyone, hurry up and bring your tools to harvest the rice in the fields, the locusts are coming! The locusts are coming! Everyone, hurry up and bring your tools to harvest the rice in the fields, the locusts are coming! The locusts are coming!"
