Chapter 222 - If she wasn't in a tribe that regarded fire as the source of evil, this ability would be quite fun to have (3)
Bei Nuan opened her eyes.
A pair of black eyes were looking at her from very close, and those eyes were upside down.
It was Great Sage.
It was hanging upside down on the cage and looking at Bei Nuan with its big eyes.
The gap between the bars was big enough that it had easily entered the cage.
It seemed very happy to see Bei Nuan opening her eyes. With a whoosh, it jumped onto Bei Nuan's lap and whimpered and chattered.
Bei Nuan didn't know what it was trying to convey.
"Why did you come here too?" Bei Nuan was extremely surprised.
Unfortunately, Great Sage couldn't speak.
Bei Nuan quickly figured it out. Although it had hid itself last night, it must have sneakily followed them all the way to here.
"Did you come to me because you're hungry?" Bei Nuan took out a handful of cassava chips from her pocket space.
Great Sage just held her hand and ate the cassava chips, and then it jumped down from her knee.
Bei Nuan thought it would leave after it was full, but she saw Great Sage going to the cage door and tugging on the lock.
Bei Nuan laughed. "It can't be opened. It's okay. Someone will let me out tomorrow."
Great Sage turned to look at her. It didn't seem to understand her words. It suddenly squeezed out between the metal bards and disappeared into the night.
Within a minute, it came back with a thin twig in its little paw.
It earnestly poked the twig into the lock's key hold and kept randomly poking at it. It genuinely wanted to free Bei Nuan from the cage.
Bei Nuan suddenly felt very touched. She had rescued him from Lu Xingchi's cage, and now it was trying to rescue her. This little monkey knew to repay kindness. It was much better than a lot of humans.
"Actually, if you really want to save me," Bei Nuan sincerely suggested, "do you remember that guy who locked you up last time? Just go find him and bring him over here."
Great Sage heard her speak. It was such a long string of words. It looked at her, and its expression was simple - don't understand.
Bei Nuan thought it over and made one hand into a claw shape and pressed it against the palm of her other hand.
"Do you remember the guy that trapped you in a cage? That cold guy who doesn't like to smile much. Go find him."
Great Sage stared at her with its round eyes, trying its best to understand her. After trying to figure out the meaning of her words, it suddenly left the cage and disappeared.
Just when Bei Nuan thought it had left to find Lu Xingchi, it came back again and was dragging a big blanket.
Great Sage was too small, and the blanket was too big. It took a lot of effort for the monkey to drag the blanket over to the cage. When it tried to stuff the blanket into the cage, Bei Nuan hastily helped by pulling the blanket inside.
It had misunderstood her.
She guessed that the monkey understood the word "cold" and thought she was feeling cold.
Bei Nuan had mixed emotions and wasn't sure how to react.
Who knows where the monkey got the blanket from. The blanket was quite pretty and embroidered with complicated patterns and had tassels on all four sides.
The monkey looked at Bei Nuan with a look of wanting to be praised for its hard work. Bei Nuan patted its head and wrapped the blanket around herself. It was pretty warm.
Suddenly, there was the sound of many footsteps from not far away.
A large group of people were coming this way. It was still Saint Yawen that was at the front of the group. She was followed by the middle-aged women that had locked Bei Nuan up.
Bei Nuan could hear someone say, "I saw her set a fire. The fire came out so suddenly, so evil!"
Bei Nuan couldn't care about anything else. Her first response was to say to Great Sage, "Quickly, hide yourself, Great Sage."
Great Sage looked at Bei Nuan, and then at the approaching crowd. This time, it immediately understood what she said. Like a small arrow, it whooshed into a hiding spot. However, its hiding spot was problematic.
It had jumped onto her body, scampered onto her shoulder, and hugged her head with its paws.
Bei Nuan: "..."
Its little paws were resting on her head. It was too nervous and kept accidently scratching her scalp.
Bei Nuan hastily tried to pry off its claws to stop the painful scratches, and her hands touched her head.
This time, Bei Nuan was looking up to try to see Great Sage, but the monkey was hiding behind her head, so she couldn't see him. Instead, the first object in her line of sight was a small treetop.
As if the trees were sprayed by a flamethrower, the tops of the neighboring trees also caught on fire. The fire was a raging blaze. The tops of the trees were like giant torches and lit up the empty field.
Bei Nuan hastily pulled back her hand in fright.
With the light of the fire, the people walking over saw the girl in the cage wrapped in a blanket with a complicated pattern. She was composed and sitting with her legs crossed. A monkey was hugging her head.
They were stunned.
Bei Nuan had accidentally set another fire and didn't dare to try to pull Great Sage off her head again. When she looked up again, she saw something strange.
The crowd that had walked here so aggressively had knelt down.
Only Saint Yawen remained standing and blankly looking at Bei Nuan as if she had seen the most terrifying sight in the world.
It took Saint Yawen a long time to find her voice. She yelled at the group behind her in a hoarse voice, "Why are you kneeling? Get up! Throw her in the Yanhe River now!"
However, no one moved.
