The little monkey stared blankly at Jiang Xiaobai, the hostility in its eyes slowly fading away. Jiang Xiaobai gently approached it and raised his hand to stroke the little monkey's head.
"Come with me, I will protect you."
He continued to communicate with the little monkey through eye contact, making it feel that he meant no harm. The little monkey's attitude towards him also changed; under Jiang Xiaobai's gentle touch, it suddenly started to cry.
"Go on, cry it out, you'll feel much better."
It was unclear how much time had passed before the little monkey stopped crying. Jiang Xiaobai stayed with it the whole time and had Bai Feng bring some wild fruits from the island for the little monkey to eat.
"Hungry? Have something to eat."
The little monkey shook its head, showing that it understood Jiang Xiaobai's words. It wasn't in the mood to eat at that moment, its eyes remained fixed on the old monkey lying on the ground.
"Your mother is gone, let's bury her."
