The butcher heard the sound and looked at Mr. Wu:
"Why, you have to control me even if I kill a monkey that is causing harm to people."
Mr. Wu gasped and said quickly:
"To be honest, I bought this monkey just now and accidentally let it escape."
"Really? The monkey you bought has caused a lot of trouble. Now let me kill it directly and you won't get involved. Otherwise, I will lose money."
The butcher's hands were so strong that he made the monkey scream and kick around, but he couldn't do anything.
Seeing this, Mr. Wu said:
"Since I bought it, I will be responsible for any trouble it causes."
When the butcher heard this, he was a little surprised. When he looked carefully, his eyes lit up:
"Are you Mr. Wu?"
"it's me."
"It turns out to be Mr. Wu, I was wondering why he looks so familiar!"
The butcher's expression suddenly became better. He could not read a single Chinese character. He liked to listen to books and was very fond of the stories written by Mr. Wu. He had seen Mr. Wu from a distance before and probably remembered his appearance. Unexpectedly, I was very excited to see myself this time.
The butcher immediately tied the monkey with a rope and handed it to Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu was holding the monkey and talking to the butcher.
But after a while, a group of people came up and asked Mr. Wu to compensate for the losses.
Mr. Wu didn't have that much money, so he had no choice but to take everyone to Yuheng Book Club to get money.
Everyone in the book club called him "Wu Miaobi", and they had no embarrassment about his need to withdraw money for compensation.
When many people saw him buying a monkey, they thought he wanted to eat the back of the monkey. Some cooks expressed their willingness to help Mr. Wu prepare it.
Mr. Wu declined the chef's proposal and finally settled the matter after losing a lot of money.
Ye Ming looked at the monkey being carried beside him and asked with a smile:
"What are you going to do with this monkey, sir?"
Mr. Wu looked at the monkey, which was still wild and untamable even after being captured, and said:
"After leaving the city tomorrow, just release the animals."
"Sir, I paid a lot of money to get this monkey. Now I'm afraid I can't even afford the strength of my legs. How can I let it go so easily?"
"Then what else can we do? People can't compete with animals."
Ye Ming chuckled, pointed at the monkey and said:
"Actually, it's okay to train him and do some work like serving tea and water."
Mr. Wu looked at the monkey in his hand, and when he saw this, he showed a pitiful expression to himself and raised his brows slightly.
He won't be deceived by the monkey this time, but it still feels weird to have a monkey serve tea and water, and given the monkey's urinary properties, I'm afraid he won't really be convinced.
"Forget it, this monkey is lawless. It's unrealistic to expect it to serve people."
Ye Ming smiled and said: "It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but when they grow up, they are afraid of wolves. The current lawlessness will eventually be smoothed out by the world."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu agreed with Ye Ming's words, but did not change his mind about releasing the monkey.
After the monkey made a big fuss on the Lantern Festival, he couldn't continue shopping, otherwise everyone would look at him strangely.
Mr. Wu still cares about appearance and does not want to appear too "out of the ordinary".
Since he didn't have enough leg strength and was carrying the monkey, Mr. Wu walked home.
Ye Ming didn't care, got on his horse, and followed him back to Mr. Wu's house.
Back home, Mrs. Wu thought the monkey had been bought to eat, so she almost took it into the kitchen and killed it.
Fortunately, Mr. Wu rescued him.
After being almost killed twice in a row, the monkey also felt a little scared.
When you see someone holding a knife, you will restrain yourself.
But for those who don't have a knife, they are as arrogant as usual.
To say that this monkey is completely wild is not true. When Mr. Wu’s son saw the monkey, he liked it very much and even threw food to it.
When monkeys see children, they become less aggressive and even consciously make themselves appear "quiet".
At first, Xiao Wu only dared to tease the monkey a little bit. After teasing for a while, he found that the monkey seemed to be very well-behaved, so he dared to get really close.
After playing for a while, Xiao Wu secretly untied the monkey while his father was not paying attention.
This was terrible. The monkey suddenly started to make a fuss again, jumping around in Wu's yard, throwing things, and smashing things.
Except for not attacking Xiao Wu, everyone wants to touch him.
Moreover, this guy became more and more clever. He knew that he might encounter a butcher when he went outside, so he caused trouble in the yard and did not run out.
When Mrs. Wu saw this, she was furious and came out with a kitchen knife.
When the monkey saw the knife, he suddenly became frightened and hid in the tree in the yard, refusing to come down.
In the end, it was Xiao Wu who persuaded him to calm down.
As soon as he came down, he was grabbed by Mrs. Wu.
This time the monkey broke many things in the house, and Mrs. Wu insisted on carrying them into the kitchen and throwing them away.
Mr. Wu tried to persuade her, but Mrs. Wu was angry and refused to listen.
In desperation, Mr. Wu had no choice but to pull Mrs. Wu into the bedroom.
When Mrs. Wu saw this, her eyes lit up, she stopped caring about the monkey, and pulled Mr. Wu into the room with her backhand, as if she was afraid that he would regret it.
When Xiao Wu saw his parents suddenly hiding in the house without him, he suspected that they were eating delicious food behind his back and wanted to go see them, but Ye Ming grabbed him and said with a smile:
"If you don't take good care of the monkey and let it cause trouble again, it will die."
When Xiao Wu heard this, he quickly went to look at the monkey.
The monkey was actually a little tired after being noisy all day, and with Xiao Wu watching, he fell asleep peacefully and did not cause any trouble for the rest of the night.
At dawn the next day, Mr. Wu, with dark circles under his eyes, held his waist with one hand and walked out of the room with empty steps.
Ye Ming came out of nowhere and patted Mr. Wu on the shoulder with a smile:
"Sir, after paying the rent, it's time for us to set off!"
When Mr. Wu heard this, he nodded immediately, feeling a little reluctant to stay at home.
With Xiao Wu's cooperation, the monkey was successfully caught, tied up, and planned to be taken outside the city and released again.
Although the monkey is smart, its wisdom is limited. When Mr. Wu took him out of the yard, he looked at Xiao Wu with a look of reluctance. He had no idea that it was because of Xiao Wu's cooperation that he was easily caught.
Mr. Wu has no leg power now, and it would be awkward to ride with Ye Ming all the time. It would be easy for others to misunderstand him. He thought he was just out for fun anyway, so he might as well just walk.
Seeing this, Ye Ming stopped riding and walked with Mr. Wu.
On the way out of the city, Mr. Wu saw a forest not far outside the city, so he went to the forest.
After arriving in the forest, I untied the rope from the monkey a few times.
The monkey lost its restraints, howled a few times, and disappeared into the forest without a trace.
Seeing the monkey leaving, Mr. Wu hung the rope in his hand on a tree by the roadside. If anyone wanted it, he would pick it up.
Collecting folk songs was not an urgent matter. The two of them walked leisurely on the road, talking and laughing.
Mr. Wu found that Mr. Shanyuan was well-informed and many of the things he said were very interesting.
This provided him with a lot of ideas, and before he knew it, he was already imagining new stories.
Ye Ming also discovered that this person had a tendency to ask questions to the end. When encountering topics of interest, he always liked to ask questions again and again.
At noon, the two went to a roadside shop for dinner.
Mr. Wu ordered two bowls of noodles and sat on the roadside with Ye Ming.
Just as he was about to start eating, he suddenly heard movement not far away.
Looking sideways, the monkey emerged from the grass and was looking here.
Only this time, I didn't see him throwing stones or making any mocking noises. He just stood there and looked at them.
Seeing this, Mr. Wu tried to pick up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and shook it.
Seeing this, the monkey wanted to come forward, but he didn't dare.
This made Mr. Wu feel funny, and he moved his mind. He deliberately put the noodles into his mouth with exaggerated movements, and pretended to eat them very sweetly.
The monkey saw it and wanted to move forward, but hesitated and scratched its ears and cheeks.
This made Mr. Wu feel funny, and he became interested and thought of playing it again.
He also made exaggerated noodle-eating movements, causing the monkey to look sideways and dance wildly with his hands and feet.
After hesitating for a while, the monkey finally couldn't help it. He ran to Mr. Wu's desk on both hands and feet and looked at Mr. Wu.
Having suffered several losses, it did not rush to grab it recklessly.
Mr. Wu thought the monkey was really interesting. He smiled and pushed the bowl in front of it.
When the monkey saw this, he immediately took the bowl into his arms and reached out to fish out the noodles.
Unexpectedly, the noodle soup was very hot. When I put my hand on it, the hot monkey subconsciously let go and jumped up.
A bowl of noodles just spilled on the ground.
The monkey was so burned that he kept licking his hands. After licking a few mouthfuls, he found that the noodle soup seemed to taste pretty good. He looked at the noodles spilled on the ground and stepped forward, wanting to reach out and grab the noodles to eat, but he was afraid of being burned.
Then I saw that Mr. Wu and Ye Ming were both holding chopsticks. I saw there were chopsticks in the bamboo tube on the table, so I tried to get them.
The monkey was very greedy. When he saw someone else using two chopsticks, he wanted to eat more and occupy more, so he took out all the chopsticks from the bamboo tube and held them in his hand.
Then......
I found that I couldn't use it at all, so I waved the chopsticks in my hand and threw them away a lot.
While the monkey was fussing, a wild dog came over.
According to the rules of the dog world, what is on the table belongs to humans and what is on the floor belongs to dogs.
When the wild dog saw a bowl of noodles on the ground that no one was eating, it wanted to eat it.
When the monkey who was playing with chopsticks saw this, he immediately felt threatened and bared his teeth and claws at the wild dog.
Wild dogs are not easy to mess with. When they see monkeys competing for food with them, they start barking "bark, woof".
Without even barking twice, a dog and a monkey started fighting.
At this time, the difference between having hands and not having hands becomes apparent.
The monkey first stabbed the wild dog with chopsticks, and then hit the wild dog with stones.
Although wild dogs have sharp teeth and claws, they are completely useless against the nimble monkeys. The monkeys beat them up with "weapons" and fled.
Mr. Wu was not surprised when he saw this. He didn't know whether ordinary monkeys could defeat wild dogs, but the fighting power of this monkey has been verified many times and cannot be matched by just wild dogs.
After fighting off the wild dogs, the monkey unexpectedly discovered that the noodles on the ground did not seem to be hot anymore and could be grabbed directly with hands.
No need for chopsticks this time, just grab and eat.
It must be said that the appeal of cooked food to wild animals is unparalleled.
After finishing a bowl of "cold noodles", the monkey fell in love with Mr. Wu.
He just stood next to Mr. Wu, looking at him from a distance.
Mr. Wu ordered another bowl of noodles. After eating, he paid for the noodles and the broken bowl, and continued on his way with Ye Ming.
The monkey followed them closely.
The white horse looked back at the monkey, snorted, and continued walking.
After following for a while, the monkey found that Mr. Wu didn't seem to object to following him, so he became bold and ran very close to Mr. Wu, howling.
Mr. Wu just smiled at the monkey's behavior and didn't mind keeping it with him as long as it didn't cause trouble.
After all, I spent a lot of money to buy it, which at least proves that the money was not wasted.
The monkey ran around and, after making a fuss for a while, stared at the white horse.
I found that the white horse was fully saddled and saddled, but neither of them was riding it.
The monkey didn't know the reason, so he jumped and grabbed it, climbed on the horse's back, and sat down like a human.
Pedestrians passed by on the road, and they were all surprised to see two people walking and a monkey riding a horse.
Some people call him "Master Monkey", which suits the situation.
The monkey could still sit on the horse properly at first.
After a while, the commotion started again.
When it makes trouble, the white horse becomes unhappy and shakes its body, trying to throw it off.
The monkey immediately grabbed the reins and refused to let go or dismount.
The white horse was angry and ran wildly, trying to get the monkey down.
The monkey howled, rode on the horse, and refused to get off.
Under the setting sun, a strange scene of monkeys taming horses is displayed in front of people...
