Chapter 301 301. Unusual

Kangkang stayed in the main room for a long time, and was carried back to his room by Mrs. Liao until he fell asleep.

An An couldn't hold back his sleepiness after his younger brother left. If it wasn't for the motivation to teach his younger brother how to speak, he would have fallen asleep by this time in the past.

Helping his son tuck up the quilt, he touched the charcoal basin at the door a few times, and under the glowing red fire, Gulan sat cross-legged on the couch, meditated and breathed out according to the formula, and continued to practice inner strength and mental methods, feeling the changes in the meridians in his body.

An hour later, she finished breathing after finishing her work. Although she still hadn't practiced her first breath of zhenqi, she could feel the flow of meridians in her body more and more clearly. It won't be long.

She poured the always warm boiling water from the top of the charcoal stove and warmed her stomach with a few sips. When she was about to rest, Dahei in the yard suddenly screamed wildly.

Gu Lan frowned, and immediately put on his clothes and stood in front of the window, Dahei was still screaming.

The sound is a bit unusual!

It has been more than three months since Lijia Village was settled, Dahei has never called at night, must have discovered something?
He put on the clothes on his body again, and when he was about to go out, he heard the voices of Butler Jin and the others, and they were already walking towards the place where the big black screamed.

She paused when she wanted to open the door to go out, but after thinking about it, she returned to the inner room. When she left, the big bed was empty, and An An had already been put into the bed in the space.

Dahei is too abnormal, Gulan is not at ease even at home.

Putting on a cloak, Gulan followed Dahei's voice to the backyard in the snow.

The closer it got to the backyard, the louder the big black bark, and even the horses in the stable neighed.

With such a big commotion in a snowy day, Gu Lan wanted to see what broke in.

However, the night was too dark, except for the faintly visible snow, only a few lanterns in front of the stables could be seen.

Sensing the master's breath, Dahei stopped roaring, and ran towards the master. Anxiously, it circled around the master, and then groaned anxiously in the direction of the stable.

"Don't worry." Gu Lan touched it.

"Young Master" noticed the arrival of the master, butler Jin, together with Xia Mu and others, rushed to greet him.

Gulan waved his hand and looked towards the stable, "Do you know what's inside?"

Butler Jin shook his head, "I don't know. When we arrived, we found that Dahei had been barking outside the stables. The horses seemed a little nervous, but we really couldn't see what was inside."

"However, Xia Muzheng said to go in and have a look." Jin Butler added.

Gu Lan nodded, the black paint was probably the beginning of Dahei and the horse inside, no one could see what was inside?
But something must be brought in, otherwise the big black horse would not have such a big reaction.

"Don't worry, the lantern is too dark, change to a torch before entering, so as not to be plotted against."

"My son is thinking about it."

Then I heard the sound of running away. Someone was going to get a torch.

Although the night was dark and it was difficult to see what was going on in the stable, the horse's constant pacing and neighing from time to time meant that the things in the stable had not left.

Gu Lan looked at the high mountain a few miles behind the village. Could it be that something from the mountain came running over.

But how did such a high courtyard wall come in?

Ordinary animals can't come in, unless they can fly and climb trees.

Thinking of this, animals such as bobcats and leopards naturally flashed in Gulan's mind.

But it's impossible to think about it. Luckily, the lynx is a small animal. If a leopard came in, it probably wouldn't hide in the stable. It would probably go straight to Dahei or the poultry pen.

Soon the torch was brought, and under the light of the torch, the surrounding darkness was dispelled again, and the situation in the stable was also vaguely visible.

Xia Mu opened the door of the stable, and before everyone could react, a black shadow rushed in.

Seeing this, Xia Mu, Li Chui and others dared to follow in. Gu Lan, who wanted to follow up with him, was stopped by the golden steward.

There was chaos inside, except for the threatening sound of the big black whirring, there were also screams of panic, and the frightened neighing of the horses.

Gu Lan frowned, the voice was very familiar!Isn't that the sound of a monkey?

That's right, if it's a monkey, it's really not a problem to come in.

Immediately after, Xia Mu came out of the stable with a torch, confirming Gulan's guess.

"Master, it's a monkey."

Hearing that it was a monkey, Butler Jin, who had been tense all the time, relaxed and stopped blocking his master.

Then Li Chui and Laitian came out carrying a monkey, and Dahei followed closely, as if ready to go up and bite at any time.

Under the torch, the monkey didn't know whether it was frightened or just beaten. It instinctively huddled up and looked at the person in the dark in fear.

"My lord, the monkey has a collar around its neck." Li Chui said, shaking the monkey in his hand.

"Is there a collar?" Butler Jin took a closer look, and sure enough, he found a black leather collar on the monkey's neck.

Butler Jin: "Really, this beast is probably not wild, young master."

Gu Lan nodded, she also saw it, and the wild monkeys would not be in this state, even if they were caught and beaten, the wild nature could not be wiped out all at once, they should be struggling desperately.

But this monkey seemed to have resigned to its fate, and was held in its hand without moving.

After taking the lantern from Butler Jin, she took a step forward.

I always feel vaguely that this monkey looks familiar, so I need to confirm it.

Under the firelight, the whole picture of the monkey appeared.

The hair was messy and covered with a lot of snow and weeds, and there seemed to be traces of being beaten on the body, especially the collar Gu Lando took a few glances at.

It was very familiar, very similar to the collar around the monkey's neck seen in the daytime juggling class. Combining the scars on their bodies, Gu Lan was almost sure that this monkey belonged to the juggling class.

It's just common sense to infer that these specially trained monkeys should return to the juggling class after completing the task, and it's impossible for the juggling class to lose this money-making tool, so how could they break into her house by mistake?
"Li Hammer, you beat it just now." Gu Lan glanced at the blood stains on the monkey's head.

"No." Both of them shook their heads.

"When we went in, the monkey was threatened by the big black and shrank in a corner, not daring to move, and it didn't resist when we grabbed it."

So, the wound on the monkey's head was not done by them.

"Grab its limbs," Gu Lan said to Li Hammer.

Then he handed the lantern in his hand to Butler Jin, and under the terrified gaze of the monkey, he stretched out his hand to the top of its head.

Obviously, the top of the monkey's head had been hit hard by a hard object, so the possibility of its own injury was ruled out.

Moreover, it can be seen from the degree of coagulation of the blood color that the time of injury was not long, so it can be inferred that the place where the monkey was injured was not far from Lijia Village.

The monkey must have been beaten for some reason, then fled, and hid in their house by accident.

If this monkey really belongs to the juggling class, is there a possibility that the juggling class is near Lijia Village? Gu Lan's expression froze when he thought of the children who were lost in the city.

If her conjecture is true, then tonight is the last chance to rescue the children.
