"Huh?"
The old man looked a little confused.
"What do you mean?"
Had the monkey been bribed by Young Friend Xiao?
That was a strange thing to say.
How could a monkey be bribed?
"Mm."
Little Lemon nodded emphatically.
"The little monkey was bribed by Master Xiao's candy."
"After that, it stopped attacking Master Xiao."
"Wait."
Zhao Luzheng corrected her. "The little monkey had already stopped attacking Third Brother before he gave it candy, okay?"
"Really?"
Little Lemon looked confused.
"I can't remember."
"Anyway!"
Little Lemon spoke with conviction.
"Even if it had already stopped attacking him, it was still waiting for a chance to strike."
"But after it took the candy Master Xiao gave it, it really did give up on attacking him."
"It couldn't have hit him even if it hadn't given up."
Zhang Bo muttered.
"Besides, how do you know..."
You're saying it with such certainty...
"Even so..."
Little Lemon continued.
"The little monkey kept following Master Xiao."
"Until we left the mountain."
"Only then did it stop following him."
"Oh, oh."
The old man nodded, still a little dazed.

"Isn't it amazing?"
Little Lemon understood how the old man felt.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, and someone had told her about it, she probably would have wondered whether the story had been exaggerated.
"Mm."
The old man nodded instinctively.
Then a wry smile appeared on his face.
"It really is amazing."
A note of wonder crept into his eyes as he looked at Xiao Xiao.
"Young Friend Xiao..."
"You really are an extraordinary person."
He could save a child who'd fallen off a cliff...
And make Little Deer and the little monkey
