The temptation of nest honey on the black stone village is too great, and the next day the sun just dried his buttocks, Dachengzi hurriedly finished breakfast and went up the mountain with Xiaohua and Huzi.

At that time, the rural babies were all free-range, and parents would not worry about traffickers abducting their children, and there was no concept of traffic accidents.

The most common instructions are not to play in the water, not to mess with the hornet's nest, to come back from meals, to return home before dark, and so on.

The autumn grain on the top of the mountain seems to be almost cultivated, wheat, peas, broad beans, etc., are some summer grains and vegetables for next spring.

When Dachengzi and they arrived at the Black Stone Village, the little monk Chengxin was meditating on the stone platform in front of the mountain gate.

Seeing that the little babies came as promised, Chengxin was very happy and hurried back to the temple to report to the master.

After a short period of effort, the little monk ran out happily, and his master followed behind him, saluting with one hand to several little baby donors, kind and humble.

This old monk also seems to be a compassionate monk, and he is very lenient in the discipline of his disciple Chengxin.

Since the farm work is almost busy, the disciple wants to go to the mountains to relax and play with a few little babies, which is not considered a violation of the precepts of Buddhism, so let him go.

Wang Jiacheng remembers that at that time, in the countryside and mountains, there were still many remote temples that survived in the era of "breaking the four olds".

In every brigade and commune, there will be one or two places to worship incense.

Most of these small temples are old, even dating back to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the local place names are also born because of the temples, such as Pei Gong Temple, Huangmei Nunnery, Gaofeng Temple and so on.

Most of the Buddhist halls are dilapidated, and the Buddhas enshrined in the halls do not have golden bodies, and only three or two monks live in them.

Most of the donors who usually come and go are local monks who eat fasting all year round, just like this Qingshan Temple where the little monk and apprentice of Chengxin are located.

It is far from the high-end atmosphere, resplendent and pilgrims of today's Buddhism.

But compared to the two, the monks at that time seemed to be more pure and pious.

"Let's go! Today the little monk will take you to a fun place!"

Cheng Xin was dressed in monk's clothes and leggings, holding a firewood knife in his hand, and waved happily to the three little babies.

"Where's the honey? I want to eat honey!"

Dachengzi hummed and climbed up the mountain just for a mouthful of honey.

Seeing that the little monk didn't mean to cut the honey, he asked him very disappointed.

"You will only have to eat it when you come back in the afternoon! Each of you has to carry me a bundle of firewood back to have honey to eat!"

The little monk Chengxin is about ten years old, and he is much more calculating than the eldest son.

"Little monk, where are we going to play?" asked Niu Niu Xiaohua curiously.

"Hairy Monkey Cave! It's fun over there! The flying squirrels there are the size of cats! And the waterfalls you haven't seen before! And the ancient watchtowers in Heishi Village!"

Speaking of playing, Chengxin's child's nature is revealed, and he seems to have forgotten his identity as a monk.

"You can't go to the monkey cave! That's where the monkeys stay! We're going to die!"

Everyone around Daqingshan knew about the hairy monkey cave, and Huzi's eyes widened in horror.

The most common method used by adults in rural areas of western Anhui to scare children is that the hairy monkey is coming, and the hairy monkey is coming to carry the baby.

This kind of deterrence often has an immediate effect, and the babies who were originally crying didn't dare to cry, so they were so frightened that they got into their mother's arms.

Legend has it that this hairy monkey, or cat monkey, or red-haired savage, loves to carry children and eat the hearts and livers of small babies, coming and going, and is a big shadow in the childhood memories of several generations.

Therefore, although the hairy monkey cave is near Weizhuang, the tigers have never dared to patronize it.

Now listening to the little monk Chengxin say that he went to visit the hairy monkey cave, the tiger's courage was scared.

"There's no monster in there! I've been there many times! There are still people living in the watchtower, refining sulfur in it!"

Looking at the three babies who were scared off by the unwarranted hairy monkey, Cheng Xin gloated and laughed.

"If you let the hairy monkey walk on his back, you won't be able to go home, let's play in another place, little monk!" Xiaohua begged to clear her heart.

"Either you go home or join me and listen to you!"

Monk Chengxin folded his palms and gave a Buddhist salute, and then walked to the front.

Chengzi, Huzi, and Xiaohua Niuniu looked at each other, and unconsciously followed behind Chengxin.

They know that if they offend this little monk today, they will not have nest honey to eat in the future.

In addition, people are so bold, and the babies seem to want to see what the terrible hairy monkey looks like in their subconscious.

Turning around the stone wall of Castle Peak Temple, there is a dense bamboo forest at the bottom of the mountain.

The raised stone mountain opposite the bamboo forest is the entrance to the "Hairy Monkey Cave".

This cave is actually a gap between the two mountains, and it seems to have an academic name, called "Rift".

It was pitch black inside, and only one person could pass through the narrowest place, and only a glimmer of sky could be seen when you looked up.

Just after entering the cave, Dachengzi regretted it.

Stepping on the smooth and damp stone wall to climb up, he missed several times in a row, and the whole person was caught in the gap and couldn't move.

But now that he has boarded the thief ship, he is afraid of meeting a hairy monkey carrying people on the way after retreating to his grandmother's house, so he should follow the army.

Chengxin is very enthusiastic, and every step will remind the babies behind how to step on the point and how to settle down.

If you encounter someone who has lost your footing, you will retreat and drag them up.

Several little babies are all masters of climbing trees, and after the most difficult adaptation period, they finally relieved themselves and were able to keep up with the rhythm of the little monk Chengxin, and their eyes also adapted to the dark environment in the cave.

As Cheng Xin said, the damp walls of the stone cave are full of dark and fat flying squirrels.

From time to time, flying squirrels pass in front of you like bamboo arrows, making strange chirping sounds.

The hairy monkeys that live in this monkey cave may be these flying bats.

In the Jianghuai countryside, bats are usually called flying mice, which are vivid and vivid, and they are also a kind of creature that makes babies frightened.

After climbing for half an hour, the four finally came to an open area.

The distance between the two stone mountains has been widened a lot, leaving a paradise-like cave blessed land.

The sun shone in, and you could see the blue sky, and the thick wild nanmu trees grew in it, and a weeping spring fell from the top of the mountain, making a deafening roar.

Underneath the weeping spring is a natural pond that is a few feet square, and you can see some chopstick-long wild fish swimming at the bottom of the water.

"It's too hot! Let's take a shower!"

Chengxin was tired and sweaty, and happily suggested.

He took off all his clothes and jumped into the water with a thud, without the slightest evasion.

Before this little monk became a monk, he must have been a master who could play, just like the Gangzi of the Wang family's village.

Huzi also peeled off his pants and tiptoed down to the edge of the pool.

The whole body is like a loach, and the only piece of the butt is white.

Despite the red sun, the spring water in the pool is still cold.

"Ahh

Huzi roared with all the courage of his body, and a fierce man plunged into the pool.

After half a minute of struggle, the body temperature of the skin finally adapted to the temperature of the pool, and the two happily played in the water.

Backstroke, snorkeling, dog planing, water spraying, chasing the pond fish at the bottom, and enjoying the last splash time before this autumn and winter.

"Chengzi!

Huzi wiped a handful of water droplets all over his face and beckoned to Dachengzi.

"I don't dare!

Dachengzi and Niuniu sat on the big stone in the shade by the pool, looking at them with envy.

The drowning in early summer had left a shadow in his heart, and he couldn't turn around for a while.

"Coward!"

Niuniu Xiaohua was very disdainful, and rolled her eyelids to learn the scary hairy monkey.

Female babies worship heroes and hate bears, which may be born with nature.

Chengxin, who dares to think and play, is already the object of Niuniu's worship, and Chengzi, who doesn't even dare to play in the water, has lost interest in playing with him.

But this time, Dachengzi was no longer intimidated, he slipped off the boulder, picked up a pebble and fell into the pool with a pop.

His intention was to smash the swimming fish in the pool, which caused a splash.

The little monk Chengxin brought them here today, probably just to play in the water.

Such a wild game, if a baby plays is not much fun, many children can have fun playing together.

Chengzi was thinking, it would be nice if Gangzi, Dogdan, and Plug were here.

They would climb down the waterfall to the top of the mountain, where they would pee in the pool below, drenching the faces of the tiger and the little monk.

Thinking of this, this unenlightened Piwa was happy first.

The autumn water was too cold to stay for a long time, so it took about ten minutes", Chengxin and Huzi hugged their shoulders and climbed up from the pool trembling.

After getting dressed, the three babies followed the little monk and continued on the road.

A few scattered vegetable patches appeared ahead, and a stone staircase was carved out along the weathered cliff wall to the huge cliff cave ahead.

"Chengxin! Let's play again! I'm tired of eating the rice with clear soup and little water!hahaha!"

"Little monk! You came here at the right time! We just killed an old rooster today! Where did these three children come from? The old monk has taken in apprentices again?"

The voices of the figures have not yet appeared, and they are the mountain people who are refining sulfur here as Cheng Xin said, and they seem to be very familiar with the little monk.

"Hello Mama Li! Hello Uncle Li! Hello Uncle Yang!"

Cheng Xin raised his head to say hello one by one, and ran up the stone steps.

The purpose of his "hairy monkey cave" was finally solved, which was to carry the master to the mountain people to relieve their hunger and fight the autumn wind.

It is not what he wants to become a monk, but he also lingers in the food and scenery in the red dust, and the little monk Chengxin is also a poor person!
