Chapter 008: Little Monkey
When he was in the nineties, Wu Chengfeng had a TV at home, which was a seventeen-inch black-and-white TV. Although the TV has no color, Wu Chengfeng still watches it with relish. At that time, the most popular TV series on TV was "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", many people were scared, but they couldn't help but watch it, Wu Chengfeng and his sister Wu Chengmin both liked to watch "Strange Tales from Liaozhai". Wu Chengmin's courage is relatively small, every time the opening song is played, a lantern flickers on and off, accompanied by the strange screams of ghosts crying wolves, Wu Chengmin can't help but cover his head with a quilt, and let Wu Chengfeng wait for the opening song to finish playing before calling her.
Wu Chengfeng's courage was not small, but after seeing Wang Guodong's tragic death, he had nightmares for several days, and he didn't dare to go out at night. It took two or three months for Wu Chengfeng to gradually return to normal.
It was a Sunday, Wu Chengfeng was doing his homework in his room, and his mother was doing laundry in the yard. Suddenly, Wu Chengfeng heard an urgent gong sound, he didn't know what was going on, threw down his pencil and ran to the yard.
When Yang Xiujuan saw Wu Chengfeng, she said, "You go to the street to see what happened?"
"Okay!" Wu Chengfeng agreed, and ran out of the door with a smoke.
Wu Chengfeng followed the sound of the gong and found the door of the village committee. Wu Chengfeng saw a lot of people around the door of the village committee, he was curious, and hurriedly squeezed in to see what was going on.
Wu Chengfeng squeezed through the crowd and squeezed to the innermost, he saw a strange middle-aged man in the crowd, this middle-aged man was a foreigner, he was wearing a Mao suit, holding a gong and mallet in his hand, a leather whip was inserted in his waist, and a rope was tied to the outsider's hand, and the other end of the rope was tied to the neck of a small monkey.
Wu Chengfeng was also a little curious when he saw a real monkey for the first time, he saw that the monkey was more than a foot tall, covered with brown hair, and a pair of small black eyes like glass balls, looking around unstoolily. From time to time, the little monkey scratched his ears and cheeks, causing the onlookers to burst into laughter.
When the outsiders saw that there were quite a few onlookers, they threw down the gong, made a circle to the onlookers, and said loudly: "Hello everyone, fathers, old folks, uncles, aunts, aunts! The younger brother has just come to your land, and he just wants to eat with a mouthful of food! Later, let my son perform for everyone, everyone will be happy, and enjoy some pocket money!"
After the outsiders finished speaking, they glanced around at the crowd and said, "The venue is too small!
When the villagers heard the words of the outsiders, they retreated. Wu Chengfeng was small and had little strength, and was squeezed outside by the crowd, and he couldn't see anything. Wu Chengfeng jumped around anxiously, but he still couldn't see it. At this time, Wu Chengfeng saw two stone sheep at the door of the village committee, his eyes rolled and he had an idea.
These two stone sheep are about one meter five long and about one meter high, as for how many catties they weigh, Wu Chengfeng is not very clear. Anyway, in the past, Wu Chengfeng and five or six friends pushed the stone sheep together, and the stone sheep did not move at all. The mouths of the two stone sheep at the door of the village committee were knocked out, and as for the reason, Wu Chengfeng also heard from the elderly people in the village.
It is said that a few decades ago, there was a stone bridge in the village. However, at that time, there was no water under the stone bridge, and next to the stone bridge, there was a stone horse and two stone sheep squatting there. When the wheat was ripe, some villagers found that the wheat in the field was stolen and eaten by something, and they were still trampling on the ground piece by piece, and for several days in a row, the villagers could no longer bear it, and more than a dozen young men discussed it and decided to squat in the field. On a sultry moonlit night, the man who was squatting finally saw that the culprits of the food waste were a white horse and two white sheep. The villagers could no longer hold back, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the three brutes who were rolling in the wheat field. The white horse and the white sheep were also frightened, so they ran away, and the villagers chased after them until they reached the stone bridge, and the three beasts were gone. The villagers searched nearby and found some wheat grains at the foot of the stone horse and stone sheep at the head of the bridge. At this time, the villagers knew that it was these three stone horses and stone sheep who had become sperm and stole food in the field. So, after some discussion, the villagers broke one of the legs of the stone horse and broke the mouths of the two stone sheep. Since then, no food has been stolen and eaten.
Of course, this is just a matter of word of mouth from the villagers, and as for the authenticity, it is no longer known. Just a few years ago, the stone bridge was filled in and two stone sheep were transported to the door of the village council. Wu Chengfeng asked the older people, where did the stone horse go? Everyone can't tell clearly, maybe when the stone bridge was filled, the three-legged stone horse was buried in the soil under the stone bridge.
Wu Chengfeng stood on the back of a beakless stone sheep, and through the top of the villagers' heads, he could clearly see the stranger and the naughty and cute little monkey.
"Okay! I'll ask my son to salute everyone!"
The "son" in the people of the countryside is this little monkey. The outsiders glared at the little monkey and said, "Son, come and salute the grandparents!"
When the little monkey heard the words of the outsiders, he really raised his right paw and saluted, which was quite presentable.
The outsider was very satisfied, and said, "Come, son, turn two more heels!"
The little monkey was very well-behaved and turned a few times in front of him on the ground.
"Okay! Let's flip back a few more times!"
This time, the little monkey did not do what the outsiders said, it scratched its ears and cheeks and looked around. When the crowd saw this, they burst into laughter.
The outsider seemed to feel embarrassed, and he raised the whip in his hand.
"Smack!"
"Squeak!"
Although the whip did not reach the little monkey, it still startled it, and the little monkey squeaked and shrunk into a ball. It seems that this little monkey is usually whipped a lot.
"Quick! turn back a few times!" the outsider yelled at the little monkey in a fierce voice.
This time, the little monkey did not dare to disobey the orders of the outsiders again, and honestly turned his head back a few times, and the outsiders showed a satisfied look.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone who has money has a money field, and those who don't have money have a personal field! Thank you!" The final purpose of the outsiders was revealed.
The villagers in the village also watched the excitement and took out a dime or two and threw it over. Of course, there are also those who don't give a penny. Wu Chengfeng is a child, and he usually doesn't have much pocket money, so he naturally looks at it in vain.
The outsider picked up the money on the ground, and although he was not very satisfied, he continued to let the little monkey perform the show. Wu Chengfeng saw that the little monkey's eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears dripping down. At that time, Wu Chengfeng was young and didn't care too much.
