NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17
Monkey and Squirrel
As the number of viewers in the live broadcast room increased, it became common to see people arguing.
Lin Xing, who was about to be dragged away by Zhao Yingnan, took the opportunity to slap Zhao Yingnan’s hand away and crossed her arms.
“I say, even if you don’t want to feed that little monkey, there’s no need to drive it away, right?”
“The little monkey didn’t provoke you. Besides, it originally lived here. It was us who disturbed the animals by filming the show. You’re that reluctant?”
“If you want to feed it, you can.” Song Qingyou coldly glanced at him.
“Hmph! I don’t have anything in my hands, right? If I had food to eat, would you still have a chance? I’d have already fed it!”
“So, you’re admitting that you’re incompetent?”
“You!” Lin Xing’s face turned pale. “Anyway, I’m not as emotionless as you! You’re willing to chase away such a cute little monkey. I think you’ll throw away that cat sooner or later, you cold-blooded woman!”
“Bzz bzz …”
The familiar voice sounded again, and the people inside and outside the screen immediately stopped.
Everyone thought that the little monkey had been scared away, but they didn’t expect it to poke its head out from behind another tree.
It was just that its careful appearance made people feel bad for her.
Some people who were quite sympathetic criticized Song Qingyou in speech and writing.
[ I’m on Lin Xing’s side this time. Song Qingyou is too cold-hearted. ]
[ This is survival in the wilderness. Why should they feed the monkeys with food that they have worked so hard to find? ]
[ Lin Xing is using moral coercion. Can’t some people see it? ]
[ Why can’t they feed it anymore? Song Qingyou could catch so many fish with the trap, she didn’t lack food at all.]
[ It’s fine if Song doesn’t feed the monkey if she’s afraid that the monkey will get sick from eating it. The main point is, why did she chase the monkey away? ]
[ She has a high combat power, so she won’t have violent tendencies, right? ]
[ Do you abuse cats behind our backs? ]
…
Many people in the live broadcast room spoke up for Song Qingyou.
However, they were quickly drowned out by the voices of the crusade.
Some people even said they would report it to the Animal Protection Association.
When Lin Xing saw the monkey appear again, she immediately showed a look of pity.
“Song Qingyou, I’m begging you, just give it something to eat, even a fruit is fine! Look at how pitiful it is!”
Song Qingyou was unmoved. “I’ll still say the same thing. You can feed it if you want to. It has nothing to do with me.”
Jiang Xuyan, who was on the side, also felt bad, but when he remembered that he didn’t believe Song Qingyou last time, he simply didn’t say anything this time.
Song Qingyou was too lazy to pay attention to Lin Xing, and once again picked up the long stick to scare the monkey.
This time, the little monkey seemed to have run far away and did not come back.
Lin Xing still wanted to say something, but she was nailed in place by Song Qingyou’s gaze.
“I don’t like to be disturbed when I’m eating.”
“If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for being unkind!”
“Let’s go!” Lin Xing angrily turned around and left, scolding, “I don’t want to eat something made by someone without sympathy! I find it disgusting!”
Zhao Yingnan was at a loss as to what to do, and the corners of her mouth twitched at Song Qingyou. “I’m sorry.”
Song Qingyou had a good impression of Zhao Yingnan. Although her personality was a bit weak, at least she wouldn’t harm people.
So, when Zhao Yingnan left, she deliberately reminded her, “A word of advice, it’s best not to feed that monkey.”
Zhao Yingnan didn’t understand the reason, but she still nodded in agreement.
Just as she was about to thank her, Lin Xing returned. “We’re going to feed it, what’s wrong? When I meet that little monkey, I’ll definitely feed it! What business do you have?”
After that, she dragged Zhao Yingnan away.
The surroundings fell silent.
Jiang Xuyan stood up and said, “Let’s have a meal first, then we’ll talk about what we’re going to do today.”
Jiang Xuyan didn’t mention the matter of feeding the monkeys, obviously because he wasn’t sure if Song Qingyou had a reason for doing so. In order to avoid awkwardness, he pretended that it didn’t happen.
Yu Muhuai glanced at the camera and then at Song Qingyou’s expression. He found that she was still the same as usual, not caring about the outside world’s influence at all.
After chasing away the monkey, the three humans and one cat had their breakfast in silence.
The bullet comments in the live broadcast room were also quarreling because of this.
After the meal, Jiang Xuyan was still in charge of cleaning the tableware and boiling water.
Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai were ready to take a hatchet to cut some bamboo.
The bamboo forest was found while picking beehives.
It could be used to make houses and furniture.
When Song Qingyou was about to set off, Zhizhi, who was lying beside her, suddenly stretched out her claws and put them on her pants, then looked up at her.
“You’re going too?” Song Qingyou bent down to pick up the cat.
“Your hind legs should be healed soon. You like to run around so much, don’t run into the forest and not come back!”
Jiang Zhihan glanced at her. Hmph, he wasn’t like those stupid cats who would run out and never come back!
Song Qingyou scratched her fluffy cat face. “It looks like you’re still not convinced.”
Although Song Qingyou said it casually, after the monkey was driven away just now, in the eyes of the observant people, this was Song Qingyou’s preparation to throw the cat.
[ Song Qingyou won’t throw the cat away one day and say that the cat ran away on its own, right? ]
[ It’s very likely. If it wasn’t for the fact that the cat’s hind legs haven’t recovered yet, she would have done so long ago. ]
[ Careful thought and extreme fear ]
[ This cat’s eyes are so beautiful. If you don’t want to raise it, give it to me! ]
Song Qingyou didn’t know how wicked some people in the live broadcast room thought her to be.
It was already noon when she and Yu Muhuai returned with a bundle of bamboo each.
Jiang Xuyan had already prepared the shrimp and other ingredients for lunch, and Yu Muhuai was the head chef.
Song Qingyou took advantage of this time to squeeze the honey from the hive into a can to store it.
At this moment, rustling sounds came from the grass a few steps away.
Jiang Zhihan immediately raised his head.
Song Qingyou frowned. Could it be that monkey again?
She grabbed a stone and was about to throw it in that direction.
Unexpectedly, a gray-brown squirrel with a long tail suddenly jumped out. Its fluffy tail was like a parachute.
It seemed to have never seen a human before, its round black eyes staring at Song Qingyou for a long time.
Then, it stared at the honey in her hand.
[ It’s another small animal. It’s so close. It won’t be killed by Song Qingyou, right? ]
[ Little squirrel, run! This person will hit you! ]
[ you make it sound like Sister Qingyou hit the monkey. Sister Qingyou just drove it away. Don’t be dark and gloomy here ]
[ Dark and gloomy? Song Qingyou’s fans should take a good look at how your master abuses animals.]
[ Let’s see how you can explain it if the cat really ‘disappeared’ in two days. ]
Everyone thought that Song Qingyou would drive away the squirrel like she was driving away a monkey.
Even Jiang Xuyan who was not far away.
However, to everyone’s surprise, not only did Song Qingyou not drive it away, but she also broke a piece of the honeycomb and handed it over.
“You want this?”
Seeing the little squirrel staring at the beehive without moving, Song Qingyou simply threw it over.
The little squirrel jumped back alertly. After a while, it carried the beehive away with its two little paws, then jumped back into the grass and disappeared.
Jiang Zhihan roughly knew why Song Qingyou’s attitude towards monkey and squirrel was different, but not everyone could understand what she was doing. It would undoubtedly bring her trouble.
