It knows your name.
A white-eared monkey-like creature lives on Mount Zhaoyao by the Western Sea. It can walk like a human once it puts on shoes, speak human language, and — most dangerously — tell you your own name and the names of your ancestors the moment it sees you.
People say eating its flesh lets you run on walls and leap across the land. So hunters set traps with the two things it cannot resist: wine and shoes.
Xingxing is clever. It spots the trap immediately, laughs at the hunter, and calls out his name while cursing his entire family. Then it turns and walks away.
A little later, it comes bouncing back.
It jumps into the trap, still cursing, puts on the shoes, and drinks the wine. It knows exactly what is happening. It just cannot help itself.
In the end, the cleverest creature on the mountain becomes a meal — because it loved wine more than its own life.
