Chapter 429 The Malaysian Monkeys Can Use Guns
Xiao Xu had long seen the men's eyes blazing with rage, as if they wanted to tear them apart and avenge his dead childhood friend. He laughed loudly, his eyes still filled with hatred, and said, "Good riddance! We should have taken it long ago! Who knows if you had any other guns on you."
He then squatted down and checked the bodies of several people, searching for their guns.
Li Ju'an aimed his rifle at the group, while Chen Xiangqian kept his Type 56 semi-automatic rifle at Kui San and his men. These people were engaged in a life-or-death business, and who knew what tricks they had up their sleeves? They were worried that Xiao Xu might be ambushed during the search.
Xu Da said, "No guns, no knives, don't worry."
Suddenly, a mule behind them let out a mournful cry, its piercing whine causing the pack of hunting dogs to become agitated.
Big Tiger was carrying the sled straps on his back. He barked angrily at those behind him, trying to break free and dash into the forest. Before Chen Xiangqian could even see clearly, Old Chen shouted, "It's Big Monkey!"
In broad daylight, under a clear sky, falcons cried and circled overhead, and the group easily spotted the giant monkey's true form. Its eerie face, with bloodshot eyes and a silly grin, truly resembled a vengeful ghost from the mountains.
Chen Xiangqian was shocked when he first saw the giant monkey, and then he was furious.
"Damn! This thing's trying to scare us? It's just a monkey, how could it possibly fool us?"
He held the gun to his face, took the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle that Li Ju'an had given him, aimed it at the direction of the big monkey, and pulled the trigger, angrily cursing, "I thought it was a person, but it's not a bastard, it's just a big monkey. If you don't leave, I'll burn you and make soup."
Several hunters simultaneously fired at the giant macaque, which leaped up and disappeared into the dense forest.
The monkey was incredibly fast. Li Ju'an had barely fired his first shot when he couldn't even get a graze on its fur. He had no idea how fast or where the monkey was going. Just then, Chen Xiangqian lunged at him. Li Ju'an was so startled that he quickly lowered his gun and yelled, "What the hell are you doing! Blocking my gun?"
Chen Xiangqian also felt wronged and said, "I don't know either, it just pounced on me like that, isn't that strange?"
A stone flew over and hit Chen Xiang's front door. Chen Xiang shouted, "Who's there!"
Xiao Xu was out of bullets while reloading, so he could only grab a nearby rock and throw it. Apologetically, Xiao Xu said, "Sorry, brother, I don't know why, I just missed."
As they were talking, a dark shadow suddenly swung down from the treetop, and Chen Xiangqian's Type 56 semi-automatic rifle vanished from his hand. He felt a tremor in his hand, and a strong force suddenly pulled him away, leaving his hand empty. Before he could even look up, Li Ju'an kicked him to the ground.
Chen Xiangqian yelled, "What are you doing! I just pounced on you, is it necessary to kick me like that?"
Li Ju'an didn't have time to explain to Chen Xiangqian. Without hesitation, he raised his gun and fired a shot at the treetop above his head.
Bang! A flash of light erupted from the muzzle of the gun, knocking the fruit off the treetop.
The wild fruit hit Old Chen on the head. Thinking it was a monkey, Old Chen raised his hand and fired a shot.
Bang bang bang!
The Wild Monkey Forest was filled with the dense sound of gunfire. The intense exchange of fire made Sun Quande, who was on the other side of the hill, turn around and say to the Sun family behind him, "Did you hear that? There's something up ahead. With so many gunshots, there's probably something good. It's probably a cannonball, and maybe an old sow too."
The Sun family followed Sun Quande through the mountains with smiles on their faces. Suddenly, Sun's second uncle said, "Brother, why didn't you invite Weimin into the mountains?"
Sun Quande sighed helplessly and said, "The old lady won't allow it. How could I not want to? Last time, Weimin broke a taboo in the mountains and was haunted by a fox spirit. The old lady said that Weimin can't go into the mountains until the fox is driven away."
The Sun family nodded, all feeling that the fox spirit was a troublesome matter. If the fox spirit wasn't removed, and Sun Weimin was taken into the mountains by them, they feared that when they returned to the village, the old lady would scold them with her cane.
The thought of the old woman's imposing presence terrified them. They stuck out their tongues and said, "We don't know which fox spirit has bewitched the people. Maybe we should just catch any fox and take it home; the old woman won't know anyway."
Suddenly, the sound of a shotgun with a barrel could be heard from across the hill.
Bang bang bang!
To the untrained eye, a shotgun with a barrel sounds no different from a rifle, but the shotgun in Li Ju'an's hand, modified by the Lu family patriarch's bullets and gunpowder, has a much stronger firepower and propulsion than ordinary bullets.
Sun Quande had dealt with the Lu family for most of his life, and he immediately sensed something was wrong. He shouted, "Good lad! The Li family brats are up to no good on that hill, let's go check it out!"
A typical hunter would mark out hunting grounds and use tree bark to signal to other hunters that the area is already being hunted and that any danger that arises upon approaching is irreversible, as bullets have no eyes and death is not an option.
But Sun Quande's group was numerous and powerful. They had never been afraid of anyone when they roamed the Xing'an Mountains. The Sun family's team of twenty-three men was one of the top teams in the forestry farm, even among the professional pig-hunting teams.
He shouted, "Let's go, let's intercept that kid Li Ju'an's big livestock. That kid is either hunting wild boar or bears, shall we bet?"
"I have to bet! I bet 3 cents that Li Ju'an hunted a bear. The bears have just finished their winter storage, and their meat is plump and can be sold for money. I'm drooling just looking at them."
"3 cents is not enough. Let's broaden our horizons and go for something big."
"So, how much do you want to bet?"
"I said, let's bet 31 cents!"
The hunters in the Sun family's group looked at each other and burst into laughter. They quickly advanced towards Li Ju'an's monkey forest.
Li Ju'an encountered trouble here.
Numerous monkey faces peeked out from the dense forest, with seven or eight large macaques showing their faces.
The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in Chen Xiangqian's hand ended up in the hands of the large male monkey. The monkey was curiously fiddling with the rifle, looking at the muzzle, then pointing it at Chen Xiangqian's face and playing with the trigger.
Chen Xiangqian was so frightened he almost jumped out of his skin, shouting, "This thing isn't for playing with! Damn it! Who told me monkeys can't shoot guns?"
boom!
Big Monkey actually fired a shot. The muzzle flashed after he pulled the trigger, startling Big Monkey himself. He trembled and tried to throw the shotgun away and run back.
Kui San shouted loudly, as if witnessing a terrifying memory replaying itself, yelling, "Chen Jianjun is gone just like that! I finally know how Chen Jianjun died!"
When Chen Jianjun's name appeared, Old Chen and Old Jiang's expressions changed, and they all thought of the past they least wanted to mention.
