Chapter 449 Helping the Little Nun Steal Things
Chapter 449 Helping the Little Nun Steal Things
Hearing the shouts, Cao Erdan quickly looked up and saw a group of monkeys jumping and playing around Xuan Yu.
"Is it Xuan Yu?"
Cao Erdan strode forward.
Startled, the monkeys jumped up to the treetops.
Xuan Yu was soaked to the bone and puffed up with anger.
Upon seeing Cao Erdan, he was initially surprised, but his anger quickly turned to joy.
"Brother Cao, what are you doing here?"
Xuan Yu was overjoyed; her personality was much more straightforward and cheerful than Xuan Yin's.
Cao Erdan briefly described his encounter with Xuanyin when he went into the mountains.
Upon learning that he had come specifically to find her despite the rain, Xuan Yu felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
"Brother Cao, wait for me! Let me deal with those monkeys first, then we'll go back!"
He picked up a stone and aimed it at the monkey in the tree, then threw it.
Cao Erdan quickly stopped him and asked what had happened.
It turned out that Xuan Yu had bought a lot of daily necessities, as well as food such as noodles and millet.
It suddenly started raining when she got here, so she took shelter in a tree hollow.
Just as the rain was letting up, a group of monkeys suddenly burst in.
They were not afraid of people, and they even stole her belongings.
Xuan Yu tried to take them back, but the monkeys were agile, and despite her martial arts skills, she kept losing one after another while chasing after another.
The monkeys threw the contents of the package everywhere.
Underwear, soap, laundry detergent, socks, and sanitary napkins were all taken by the monkeys.
Cao Erdan saw a monkey wearing a woman's underwear on its head, and felt both helpless and amused.
These monkeys were exceptionally agile; even with Cao Erdan's speed, he couldn't retrieve them all one by one.
"Let's go, Master Xuanyu. We don't need these things. I'll compensate you for the loss later."
Xuan Yu, however, refused to back down and shook off Cao Erdan's hand:
"I don't want you to pay me back, I'm going to take them back myself! They've gone too far! It's not about the money anymore!"
Looking at this stubborn, bald-headed beauty, Cao Erdan felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
Her delicate features and expressive, bright eyes are endearing.
Seeing the tears in her eyes and her aggrieved look was heartbreaking.
"Okay, I'll help you grab them, but chasing them head-on is definitely not going to work. They're too scattered. We need to outsmart them."
"How to outsmart it?"
Xuan Yu was puzzled. Why did Brother Cao want to play military strategy with the monkey?
Cao Erdan suggested, "Since your clothes are all soaked, let's just lie here and not move. Monkeys are very curious and will definitely come closer to observe. We can catch them then."
The two found a relatively clean large rock and lay down directly on it.
Cao Erdan said, "Wait a moment and let the monkeys get closer. You catch the ones on the left, and I'll catch the ones on the right."
Just now, Xuan Yu was only focused on chasing the monkey, which scared it away, so he couldn't catch it.
Now, following Cao Erdan's advice to wait and see, I don't know if it will work.
Cao Erdan himself didn't know if it was feasible; he had only heard a story from an old man when he was a child.
The story goes that an old man selling straw hats encountered monkeys in the mountains, who stole all his hats.
The old man couldn't catch up with the monkey no matter how hard he tried; he was being played by it.
Finally, the old man discovered that the monkeys would imitate whatever he did.
So he took the gourd and drank from it, then lay down to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the little monkey also came over to drink, and ended up getting really drunk.
The old man managed to snatch the straw hats back.
I don't have a gourd of wine myself, and I know the story might not be true, but I can still give this a try.
The two of them lay down on the big rock.
They remained motionless for several minutes, watching the monkeys in the tree without moving, observing them from a distance.
As time went on, Cao Erdan didn't feel anything, but Xuan Yu, with her small and weak body, shivered from the cold.
The hand that Cao Erdan was holding was trembling slightly.
Cao Erdan pulled her close, letting her rest her head on his chest, while placing his hand on her back to channel some dragon energy into her, helping to boost her immunity.
That way, she won't feel cold.
A soft, slender, beautiful girl was nestled in his arms. Cao Erdan really wanted to kiss her little bald head, but he held back.
The other party was a Buddhist nun, and a naive girl who had no defenses against her.
That would be a desecration of someone.
The monkeys in the tree were jumping around, looking around but not daring to get close.
However, he couldn't resist his curiosity and climbed down from the tree.
Seeing them hugging each other, several monkeys followed suit, hugging each other and imitating their actions.
Xuan Yu grinned from ear to ear, her attention completely focused on the monkey, completely oblivious to the strangeness of being in Cao Erdan's arms.
Instead, she snuggled closer to him, pressing herself even tighter.
Looking at Xuan Yu's bright, watery eyes, blinking right in front of me, I could tell she was innocent and naive.
This made Cao Erdan feel that the little girl was becoming more and more likable.
Seeing that Cao Erdan and Xuanyu remained motionless, the monkeys grew bolder and approached little by little.
An old monkey lay down on the ground not far from Cao Erdan, and two little monkeys, imitating Xuan Yu, snuggled up into the old monkey's arms.
Cao Erdan felt that the monkeys were not too far away from him, so he suddenly pushed Xuan Yu:
"Quick, grab the one on the left!"
Then he jumped up in a flash, his movements as fast as lightning.
He reached out and grabbed the old monkey's underwear from his head.
He kicked over a little monkey that was trying to scratch him, then slapped another one away. The remaining monkeys were so scared that they scattered in all directions.
Xuan Yu's bag was left on the ground.
Over there, Xuan Yu tried to catch a little monkey, but the monkey tore a large hole in his pants.
Fortunately, Xuan Yu was also quite skilled, punching the little monkey to the ground, which rolled several times before finally getting up.
The little monkey dared not approach any further and ran away screaming.
The monkeys abandoned what they had stolen and ran away, while Xuan Yu retrieved quite a few things.
Cao Erdan picked up the bag and, together with Xuan Yu, began to fill it with contents.
When Xuan Yu touched the underwear, she felt a little embarrassed.
He quickly reached out, grabbed it, and stuffed it into the bag.
She pouted and muttered:
"They're all dirty, I'll have to wash them several times when I get back!"
Then she raised her head, blushing, and thanked him, "Brother Cao, if it weren't for you, I would have been driven crazy by them. Thank you so much!"
Cao Erdan reached out and rubbed her little bald head: "It's nothing, let's go back."
When they returned to the temple, Xuan Yin looked astonished:
"What happened to you guys? How did you get caught in the rain and tear your pants?"
Ding Wenlin and Song Qian looked at the pretty Xiao Xuanyu and frowned deeply.
I wondered, would Cao Erdan do something outrageous to the little nun?
Cao Erdan chuckled: "We've run into bandits!"
When Xuan Yu recounted how a group of little monkeys tried to steal her things, but Cao Erdan helped her get them back, everyone burst into laughter.
The atmosphere eased.
Cao Erdan then introduced Xuan Yu to Ding Wenlin and Song Qian.
The two beautiful female leaders were delighted to see how pretty the two young nuns were.
They all considered inviting them to return to secular life.
But Xuan Yin and Xuan Yu had been monks since they were young, and they never thought about worldly affairs.
Their master, the nun Miaoyi, was still not pure of heart and wanted to enter the Shennong Secret Realm to retrieve some treasures.
These two young nuns, who had been ordained at a young age, were single-mindedly devoted to saving all sentient beings.
It can be said that he was wholeheartedly devoted to good and had no intention of returning to the mortal world.
Without the guidance of a master, I have become even purer.
Victoria Song said to Ding Wenlin, "These two children are too young to know the joys of the world. When they grow up, they will naturally know the wonders of the world!"
Ding Wenlin nodded: "Then let's wait until they grow up and see what happens."
Cao Erdan chuckled inwardly; these two assertive women could maintain control no matter where they went.
Buddhist monks always advise ordinary people to transcend the six realms and not be tainted by the five elements.
Instead, those two tried to persuade monks to return to secular life!
