On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 437 Seeking Help Through Crying

"Aren't you very scared?"

Jiang Tang looked at Deng Ping with a puzzled expression, "Since you're so scared, I'll go and see what's crying."

"Aren't you afraid?"

Deng Ping asked.

Jiang Tang became even more puzzled, "What are you afraid of?"

He continued talking to her while putting on his coat.

Deng Ping hesitated timidly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, "It's about...those...mountain spirits and monsters..."

"Wasn't that what we used to be like?"

Jiang Tang was completely bewildered.

She and Deng Ping are like mountain fairies!
Why be afraid of your own kind?

She didn't understand.

Deng Ping was speechless at Jiang Tang's words. When she came to her senses, she found that Jiang Tang had already left the tent.

She wanted to stay, but she was also a little worried about Jiang Tang. She wanted to chase after him, but she was also a little scared.

Outside the tent, Xu Hui's voice rang out, "Xiao Jiang, you heard that too?"

Clearly, he also heard the crying from the woods.

Jiang Tang hummed in agreement and told Xu Hui again that she was going to go and take a look.

Xu Hui and Deng Ping had similar reactions; they felt it would be frightening to go and see, but not going and just listening to the crying was even more frightening.

"I will go with you."

"Need not."

Jiang Tang declined Xu Hui's suggestion, saying, "I can go by myself."

"Comrade Xiao Jiang..."

"It's almost dawn. There are no demons or ghosts. At most, they're just some mountain animals that have lived long enough to learn to make sounds similar to humans."

Let alone just small animals.

Even if it were a ghost, she wouldn't be afraid.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Tang started walking towards the direction from which the crying was coming.

Xu Hui quickly handed her a flashlight and told her to take it with her.

Jiang Tang took the flashlight and walked a short distance forward.

She walked about twenty meters through the woods before arriving at the place where the crying was coming from.

A figure stood with its back to her, sobbing softly.

Judging from the figure, it does look somewhat like a human.

Like a person squatting on the ground.

The flashlight in Jiang Tang's hand landed on its back.

She said nothing.

The thing that had its back to her seemed startled and suddenly turned around.

It has a monkey-like face, similar to a human's, with tears still on its face.

She said it wasn't some kind of mountain spirit or monster; at most, it was an animal that had lived for many years and learned to cry like humans.

"What are you trying to do, coming to our campside crying in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Tang did not remove the flashlight from the black monkey.

"Are you trying to scare people, or what?"

She spoke in a calm tone, as if she were talking to a person, to the monkey whose face was covered in tears.

Xu Hui, who was in the camp behind them, quickly came over after hearing the noise.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing the monkey's true form.

Comrade Jiang Tang was right.

They really are animals from the mountains.

Xu Hui stood behind Jiang Tang, and although he breathed a sigh of relief, he did not completely let his guard down.

They remain very vigilant.

The monkey, its face streaked with tears, pointed ahead, glanced at Jiang Tang, and then pointed ahead again.

It means they want to lead them forward.

Jiang Tang didn't catch up immediately, and the monkey started crying again, looking very anxious.

They were just short of coming forward to pull Jiang Tang away.

Jiang Tang told Xu Hui to return to the camp, and she would follow him to check.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, isn't this too risky?"

"fine."

Jiang Tang reassured Xu Hui, "I know the mountains very well."

“Go back to camp.” “If I’m not back by the time I eat, listen to Deng Ping and leave the mountains with her.”

"Little Jiang..."

Xu Hui had just opened his mouth when Jiang Tang interrupted him, "Without me, you can't get into that forest."

"Going in would be suicide."

That's why she said that if she didn't come back on time, Xu Hui and the others should leave.

"Actually, we can ignore this monkey."

Xu Hui spoke up.

Jiang Tang shook her head. "This might be an opportunity."

The monkey needed her help.

If she could help it, perhaps she could even get it to take it to that distant aircraft graveyard.

Even if we can't get the monkey in, we can still get some information from it.

So following the monkey away, although it seems risky, is well worth doing.

Jiang Tang is confident in herself.

After she finished speaking, she followed the monkey that was leading the way and walked with it through the forest.

Xu Hui returned to the camp and told the others about Jiang Tang's decision, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Deng Ping went even further, directly criticizing Jiang Tang for being too confident.

"Does she really think she's invincible? She ran off with a monkey in the middle of the night."

Deng Ping cursed, but she couldn't hide her worry in her heart.

In this remote mountain forest, when Jiang Tang made this decision, all they could do was pray that everything would go smoothly for her.

Jiang Tang followed behind the monkey, passing through the dense forest.

The monkey led her up the mountain.

When it encounters a high place, it will jump over it first and then wait for Jiang Tang on the other side.

If Jiang Tang shows signs that she can't get through, it will jump back and find another way for her to get through.

This monkey is extremely intelligent and perceptive.

Jiang Tang followed it from dusk till dawn, and finally arrived at a cave.

Before even entering, I could smell a strong stench of blood.

Her nose wrinkled.

The crying monkey in front quickened its pace and ran into the cave, still whimpering.

Jiang Tang followed.

Once inside, she discovered a monkey with a protruding belly lying behind a rock in the cave.

It seemed to be in labor, then it had a difficult birth.

There was a lot of blood under her body, and she was weak and listless, breathing lightly, with drooping eyelids.

The monkey that brought her there squatted down next to the monkey lying on the ground, howling.

It took the hand of the lying monkey, chattered away in their language, then raised its head and bowed to Jiang Tang like a human.

Jiang Tang understood why the monkey had called her over.

Help this monkey give birth during a difficult labor.

Her experience working on farms and breeding facilities back in the Northwest came in handy.

I went over to take a look and found that the monkey was bleeding excessively during childbirth.

She can cut it open and take out the little monkey inside.

However, there was no stitching.

Jiang Tang patted himself down but couldn't find a pen.

She looked at the ground, picked up a flat stone about the size of her palm, and used the sharp stone to write two lines of words on it, stroke by stroke.

"Take this to our camp and give it to that man from earlier."

"Remember, if you want to save your family, you must give the stone to Comrade Xu Hui properly!"

Jiang Tang spoke to the monkey who had summoned her.

The other party understood.

It pointed to the monkey lying on the ground, looking uneasy.

Jiang Tang said, "Go quickly and come back soon. Bring back what I asked for. It will be fine."

"Woooo..."

The monkey was reluctant to leave, but it knew its mission was important. It took the stone given to it by Jiang Tang and ran out of the cave.

Jiang Tang sat down beside the dying monkey and placed her hand on its belly.

A hand is outstretched in front of the eyes, ready to catch the tears.
