"Ouch - wow -"
The monkeys were scurrying around, and a few half-grown monkeys failed to keep up and stood alone in the trees.
Meng Laoer picked up the bamboo pole he had brought up the mountain, raised it and struck it hard on the tree, knocking down the three little monkeys in a few strokes.
Meng Laoer rushed to catch him, but one of the smallest ones fell to death on the spot, and another one of the other two escaped. What he got was only a larger baby monkey with a long one on his face. The sarcoma is very ugly, and it doesn’t look like a newborn monkey less than a month old.
At this time, all the remaining little monkeys on the tree were picked up by the big monkeys, ran away and squatted on the highest trunk, out of reach.
Meng Laoer was angry, extinguished the fireworks on the ground, slapped the ugly monkey twice with his backhand, tied it and threw it into the basket, and walked down the mountain dejectedly to his home.
But at this moment, he became more and more angry as he thought about it and couldn't let go. He simply turned around and went up the mountain again. He was determined to go to the top of the mountain and circle around twice to see if there were any wild monkeys elsewhere.
Soon, before the sun went down, he touched the mountain. After walking around twice, he heard a mysterious movement.
It's that "high-high-" cry that sounds very much like a monkey.
Meng Laoer became interested, grabbed the hatchet and found the source of the sound. It was in a stone cave that was half a person wide. There were two furry guys in the haystack inside. They had hands and feet, and their hair was black. The big ears and big heads looked like little monkeys!
Hey, he was happy now. He got into the hole and caught all the two little monkeys, tied them with ropes and threw them into the basket. He let go of the half-big ugly monkey he had caught earlier, and went down the mountain happily.
After returning home, Meng Laoer kept the monkey in the house overnight. The next day happened to be a sunny day. He tied two wilted little monkeys with ropes and hung them on the roof with bamboo poles. He did not provide them with water or food, and sunk them to death alive. In just one day, their bodies were half dry and their skin became dry. Crumpled.
In the evening, I put the two monkey corpses next to the small stove to dry. After only two days, the monkeys became hard and dry meat, with no moisture at all.
Later, the bones were taken out, crushed with a roller, washed into water and given to Fang Xiaomei to drink. Sure enough, she soon became pregnant with the child.
After Meng Laoer finished speaking, he lowered his head in despair.
"The day before yesterday, I saw that there were still some monkey bones left, so I asked her to drink them again..."
"Hey, I shouldn't have!" The more Meng Laoer thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Looking at his wife on the table, he felt scared again. He slapped himself several times, then knelt on the ground and begged Liu Ruxiang to take action again.
"Master, Grandmaster, I know you are a capable person. Please save my wife again. I will give you whatever you want, and I will never do evil again."
Liu Ruxiang was unhappy and aimed at Meng Laoer's shoulder and kicked him to the ground.
"Idiot, stupid and bad, do you know what it is and you just kill it?"
"You go up the mountain to kill monkeys because you got a folk remedy from nowhere. If you want to commit evil, no one can save you!"
"You pig has no idea. Monkeys always stay in trees, so how can you use caves as their nests? You old boy, what you are catching is a mandrill cub, a mountain god, do you know that?"
Liu Ruxiang turned around, flicked her sleeves and returned to the house.
"Hey, Grand Master, please, I know you are very powerful. Please do a good thing and save my wife!"
Meng Laoer's face was pale and tears were streaming down his face. Seeing that Liu Ruxiang didn't respond, he gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Liu Ruxiang's room.
"Bang!"
"Please save my wife."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Meng Laoer couldn't stop, and his strength was so strong that he didn't seem to know the pain, and bright red blood suddenly appeared on his forehead.
"Please, please, I don't want to live without my wife."
Meng Laoer was crying, blood and tears mixed together. Seeing this, I felt soft. He was afraid that she would fall to death on the ground at the door in the next second.
"Master..." I whispered to Liu Ruxiang.
After a while, she came out, her hands wrapped with two small pieces of gauze. Seeing Meng Laoer's appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.
She sighed and looked at Fang Xiaomei on the table next to her.
"Ignorant fellow, get up."
"Remember, I took action again today, not for the little reward you gave me, nor to do good deeds. Anyway, you deserved it. I just couldn't bear to see a young woman killed by you in vain. I completely pitied your wife. ."
"What a crime. You said that your wife provoked whomever, but because of your stupid behavior, you have walked into hell several times. Haha, are you worthy of her?"
Liu Ruxiang cursed angrily, then walked to Fang Xiaomei, gently stroked her head, picked up the bowl next to her, and fed some water into her mouth.
After a moment, Fang Xiaomei hummed softly, looking weak and weak, and slowly opened her eyes.
"Honey, you're awake." Meng Laoer burst into laughter and rushed forward to grab Fang Xiaomei's hand.
Liu Ruxiang sneered, and the words in her mouth gave the two of them a blow: "Don't think it's over. Think about what the mandrill said just now. I'll probably deal with you again by the third watch tomorrow at the latest."
Meng Laoer hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Grand Master, for taking the initiative."
Seeing this situation, Liu Ruxiang couldn't say anything else: "Don't waste time now, go and send those relatives away, and we'll go into the mountains after we eat."
"Okay, okay." Meng Laoer nodded his head like a rattle, wiped the blood on his forehead with his sleeves, and ran out to yell at the relatives to leave.
Liu Ruxiang went to make noodles and asked me to accompany Meng Laoer to take care of his wife.
She said to me: "You should study more and see more now. It will be your turn to do these things after you officially take the vows and become a disciple."
I remembered what the cook said to me earlier. I have a special destiny. I cannot escape death before I turn 18. Only by formally completing the ordination and protecting my body with accumulated merit can I have a chance of survival.
"Study hard, read hard." I recited silently in my mind, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
After finishing breakfast, Liu Ruxiang packed up her things, caught a two-and-a-half-year-old rooster, and asked me to carry the wooden box. Meng Laoer carried Fang Xiaomei on his back, and the group walked up the mountain.
This mountain is called Longming Mountain. It is the largest mountain in the county and is rich in species. Many people below the mountain make a living by collecting mountain products.
We walked up a bumpy mud path. As soon as we entered the forest, we could feel the temperature drop suddenly and the fresh smell of the trees hit our faces.
"Watch your steps, tell me when you are tired, let's just take a rest, be careful when you get on the ridge, don't fall down." Liu Ruxiang reminded me.
The group of people kept walking and walking, and because they had to perform rituals on the mountain, they brought a lot of things with them. It was not until noon that they reached the halfway point of the mountain.
