They stayed put until nearly noon, as the monkeys returned to quiet spots to rest and would only come back to forage around dusk.
The seven young students planned to stroll around the scenic path, while Chen Ying and Dao Meihua returned to the inn to prepare for check-out and departure.
"Mr. Chen, Teacher Dao, don't rush to leave yet. A message from the village chat group said someone spotted a white monkey in the woods to the left of the waterfall upstream."
The innkeeper showed them the village messages, and in the blink of an eye, there were already hundreds of them.
The innkeeper saved a photo, though it was still very blurry, but you could see a standing figure flash by in the forest.
"The photo is too blurry; it's hard to distinguish anything other than that it's not human, but it's unclear if it's a monkey or a bear."
Chen Ying zoomed in and out for a while, only barely able to confirm it was an animal.
