I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 96 The Little Thing That Can't Be Seen
Fu Dong had barely stepped into the yard when the golden monkey breathed its last.

When Meng Shulan saw two lines of tears streaming down its human-like monkey face, she sighed softly and felt a pang of sadness.

They were both mothers, and the golden monkey, in particular, bore a certain resemblance to the one she had given birth to Xiao Qi, which made her feel even more pity for it.

"Fu Dong, do you know how to have a C-section?"

We must rescue the baby monkey as soon as possible, or it will suffocate inside.

"Huh?" Fu Dong looked horrified. "Sister, what are you talking about? How could I possibly do this?"

Meng Shulan got up and went back to her room. She quickly went to her bedroom and took out a dagger, which Qingge had given her. It was very sharp, but she had never used it before.

Then he rummaged through the first-aid kit at home, took out a bottle of medical alcohol and a roll of gauze, and then turned and ran outside.

The mother monkey is dead, so it's okay if the dagger isn't burned, right?

She was very anxious, fearing that if she was a little late in dissecting the baby monkey, it would be dead.

Just like Xiao Qi back then
So after hastily disinfecting the dagger with alcohol, she was about to make her move.

At this moment, Meng Shulan forgot her nervousness and fear, focusing only on the monkey mother's swollen belly. With one hand pressing down and the other holding the knife, she carefully cut downwards.

Fu Dong squatted down next to her, watching her movements and couldn't help but swallow hard. His sister was amazing!
As she moved, the mother monkey's belly was slowly opened, her uterus was ruptured, and then a tiny, pitiful baby monkey, so small it looked like it could be held in one hand, emerged from inside.

Meng Shulan's hand trembled slightly. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and two drops even slid down her eyelashes and landed on her arm.

But she didn't care at all. She put down the dagger, calmed herself down, and carefully lifted the little monkey out of the hole with one hand, then quickly held it in both hands.

When she saw the little monkey move slightly in her palm, Meng Shulan finally felt relieved.

It's good to be alive!
"Fu Dong, cut the umbilical cord."

"Huh?" Fu Dai asked in surprise, "W-how do I cut it?"

Meng Shulan then realized that she hadn't brought the scissors.

"It's on the first shelf on the left side of the main room, hurry up."

Fu Dong ran into the house as fast as he could and grabbed a pair of scissors. Then, following Meng Shulan's instructions, he first disinfected the scissors with alcohol, then cut the umbilical cord connecting the mother to the womb, and finally clumsily tied a knot.

"Sister, is this little monkey still alive?"

The little monkey moved so slightly that it was hard to notice if Meng Shulan hadn't been holding it herself; she might have even doubted whether it was still alive.

"It's alive. Let me take it inside and clean it up first."

"I'll help you."

The two of them worked for another half hour before they were able to clean the amniotic fluid and blood off the baby monkey. Then they wrapped it in an old piece of clothing and put it in a shoebox.

As if to prove it was still alive, the little monkey hummed twice and tilted its head.

Fu Dong was relieved.

"Sis, what about its mother?"

Fu Dong went into the yard, put the golden monkey mother into a woven bag, and then fetched water to wash the blood-stained ground clean before turning to ask Meng Shulan.

After washing the blood off her hands, Meng Shulan shook them off and said to him, "Take it to your camp first and bury it on Sanqing Mountain."

If you want to raise a baby monkey, you definitely can't touch its mother, so you can't dig out its demon core.

As for monkey meat, she never even considered it.

Fu Dong left with the golden monkey. Meng Shulan stood in the courtyard staring blankly at the collapsed wall for a while before going upstairs.

"Qingge, the wall has collapsed. Set up a formation." Yu Qingge yawned as she walked out of the house. She didn't say anything about formations or anything, but instead muttered, "You two are really something. One wants to raise a dragon, and the other wants to raise a monkey. Do you know how much that costs?"

Meng Shulan said helplessly, "I didn't want to either, but we can't just throw it away like that."

The two returned to the main room on the first floor. Yu Qingge looked at the little monkey lying in the shoebox, sleeping with its eyes closed. It looked like a tiny mouse, pitifully small.

This is a premature golden snub-nosed monkey.

"Where we come from, golden monkeys are considered spirit beasts, and it's possible to form a contract with them. Lan, do you want to form a contract with it?"

As Yu Qingge spoke, she flicked her finger and cast a burst of spiritual light on the little monkey. Visibly, the little monkey's complexion improved considerably, and it even kicked its legs comfortably and hummed several times.

Most importantly, there is a flame symbol in the very center of its forehead, faintly visible.

Meng Shulan looked on curiously and pointed at the flames, asking, "What is this?"

Yu Qingge smiled, "Although your talent isn't great, you've had some luck. This is a Flame Monkey, a type of auspicious beast that appears only once every thousand years. Forming a contract with it will be entirely beneficial for you."

But a contract is best based on mutual consent. The baby monkey has just been born and its eyes haven't even opened yet. Isn't making a contract now just bullying it?

Meng Shulan shook her head, "Let's talk about it later. Actually, my idea is to raise it until it's almost ready and then put it in Sanqing Mountain. I definitely won't stay in the countryside forever; I have to accompany Xiao Qi to school."

Keeping a cat or dog in the city is fine, but when have you ever seen someone keeping a monkey?

Moreover, it is a golden snub-nosed monkey, a nationally protected animal.

Forget about it being a mythical beast from another world; just tell me if it's a golden monkey. If it is, you can't keep it as a pet.

So this is another little thing, just like Xiaolong, that can't be shown to anyone.

At six o'clock in the morning, when Lin Qingquan opened his eyes, Xiao Qi was still fast asleep.

He sat up and covered his daughter with the blanket she had kicked off, then got out of bed to go to the bathroom to wash up.

I was busy until midnight last night, and it was already 2 a.m. when I got back to the hotel.

Therefore, I woke up an hour later than usual this morning.

I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face, then sat cross-legged on the floor to begin meditation.

Half an hour later, Xiao Qi was rolling around on the bed, rolling from one end of the 1.8-meter-wide bed to the other, and then with a thud, she successfully fell off the bed.

Lin Qingquan opened his eyes and was about to hug her, but before he could stand up, she scrambled to her feet. Before she even opened her eyes, she spun around in circles and asked, "Toilet, toilet, toilet, where's the toilet?"

Lin Qingquan quickly stepped forward, picked her up, and took her into the bathroom. Just as he was about to help her take off her pants and sit on the toilet, she gently pushed him away, saying, "Dad, get out."

"Oh, okay. Then open your eyes and do it yourself."

After saying that, Lin Qingquan quickly left the bathroom and closed the door.

Then, he stood still at the doorway.

Did Xiaoqi just call him "Dad"?

Lin Qingquan felt he hadn't misheard, and a surge of joy welled up inside him, along with a strange, indescribable feeling.

His eyes stung and the corners of his eyes were a little red. He took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress his emotions.

After Xiaoqi finished urinating and came out of the bathroom, he picked her up and said softly, "Xiaoqi, can you call me Daddy again?"

See you tomorrow!
