323.Journey to the West (3)
One person and one monkey looked at each other in silence, and then the adult couldn't bear it anymore, "I know, the skill you want to learn is not the trick of us deceitfuls. ”
He wasn't much embarrassed, although they did make a lot of money using Sun Wukong's spirituality during this time.
But he didn't let Sun Wukong go hungry, although he was more ruthless when he trained him, but in terms of eating and sleeping, he was the same as them.
He never saw Sun Wukong as a pure animal, but as a person like them.
Sun Wukong heard him say this, he didn't say anything, just silently took a sip of tea, he came to say goodbye tonight, no matter what, it is impossible for him to stay here, although he and the father and daughter get along very well during this time, but there are still tens of thousands of family members in Huaguoshan waiting for him to learn the skills to protect them.
"In fact, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you are not a monkey, not only smart, but also understand human nature, I see a pressure from you, you seem to have been suppressing something. ”
The adult was chatting with Sun Wukong like this, he was talking, Sun Wukong was listening, and the time continued like this until almost dawn.
Sun Wukong got up and gave him a heavy salute, which he had learned during this time, and he was ready to leave.
Seeing him like this, the adult also returned the salute, and then sighed: "Actually, I want to keep you, but I also know that you will not stay on my side."
I know what you want to learn, and I know there's such a place. ”
Sun Wukong's eyes instantly brightened, and he looked at him with some excitement.
"It's a long way from here, and the road is dangerous, and you might even get eaten by other monsters or something halfway through. ”
Sun Wukong doesn't care about this, this is the closest he is to now, and he won't let it go.
Seeing that Sun Wukong was about to hem, the adults hurriedly stopped him.
"Forget it, don't be so polite, the two of us are familiar now, so we don't have to be so unfamiliar. ”
"That place is called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and there is a three-star cave with a slanting moon on it, and there is a master outside the world who teaches spells.
However, this worldly master values chance very much, and even if you get there, you may not be able to meet this master at all. ”
After he finished speaking, he saw Sun Wukong's excited face, and he didn't listen to his later words, so he couldn't help but sigh.
Then he took out a money bag from his arms, and then handed it to Sun Wukong's hand, and said: "These are the wages you have been working on my side for so long, although it is not much, but it can support it for a while." ”
Sun Wukong took the money bag and bowed his hand to express his gratitude, he was actually a little reluctant to let the father and daughter pair.
"If you don't want to go, if you're tired outside, come back, this is your home. In the end, the adult still couldn't hold back and speak.
People have feelings, although it took only half a year with Sun Wukong to come up with it, but in this half a year, they have already regarded Sun Wukong as a family member.
Sun Wukong didn't speak, but his pace became faster, as if he was worried that he would regret it.
When the little girl woke up the next day, she knew that Sun Wukong had left, and her whole person became wilted.
..............
The sorrow of parting did not stay in Sun Wukong's heart for a long time, and he soon began to look forward to the picture of his apprenticeship, and then went back to protect the children after completing his studies.
In the past half a year, Sun Wukong has also learned how to get along with humans, most of the time, as long as he doesn't make drastic moves, humans will be regarded as a surprise.
However, there are also some people who have bad intentions.
So Sun Wukong basically goes out day and night, but even so, his speed is still very fast.
Of course, Sun Wukong doesn't always travel at night, in some more desolate places, he still likes to travel during the day.
Today is like this, the day rushed the day's road, but the sky is not beautiful, in the evening, the sky suddenly rained heavily, and suddenly drenched him into a soup chicken.
It happened that at this time, he saw a small village chief not far from the river, and after thinking about it, Sun Wukong still quietly came to the village, ready to find a random place to hide from the rain.
He found a house at the outermost part of the village, and hid under the cowshed to hide from the rain, ready to wait for the rain to stop before leaving.
But just then, the door of the house was opened, and an old lady came out of the house, carrying a basin of water in her hand, ready to pour it out. 、
At this time, she also saw the monkey under her cowshed, and was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the monkey seemed to be startled by her and wanted to leave, but looked at the heavy rain but hesitated.
"Little monkey, go inside and take shelter from the rain. The old lady greeted with a smile.
Sun Wukong was a little hesitant, but the heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the cowshed was already leaking when it came, so he agreed.
Sun Wukong walked quickly to the eaves, and then bowed to the old lady to express his gratitude.
When the old lady saw Sun Wukong with such a spiritual appearance, she was immediately even more happy.
"You little monkey is so spiritual, are you hungry, grandma will cook you something to eat?" said the old lady happily.
At this moment, Sun Wukong's stomach came with a gurgling sound, which immediately made the old lady laugh again.
"Old woman, who are you talking to?" An old man's voice came from inside the room.
"A clever little monkey. The old lady replied loudly.
Then the old lady took Sun Wukong into the small room, the furnishings of the room were very simple, and there was rain leaking in some places in the house.
"Old man, look at how much dinner is left in the evening, and then give it to the little monkey. The old lady beckoned.
When the old man heard this, he was immediately unhappy, "We can't eat enough, so give it back?"
"If you want to take it, you can take it, nonsense. "The old lady seems to be the one who is in charge of the house.
"Okay, okay, hey, what should we do with the offerings in Dalin Village this year, natural disasters and man-made disasters, there is nothing less this year, I don't know if the river god will blame it." The old man sighed as he went to get dinner.
"Hey, what else can I do? It's only a while, let's make sure that our own family can survive first, and it should be okay to supply it a little later." The old lady was also a little helpless when she heard the old man's words.
However, the words of the two old men did not last long, and when Sun Wukong was eating, the two looked at it with a smile, and the old man did not have the stinginess he had at the beginning.
After Sun Wukong finished eating, Sun Wukong thought for a while and stood in the clearing.
"Little monkey, what are you doing here?" asked the old lady with some puzzlement, she could see that this monkey was very spiritual.
Sun Wukong first squeaked twice, then began to turn his head, and then began to perform, these are the skills he learned from the father and daughter.
At this time, the two old men also saw that this little monkey wanted to show them, not to mention, it was really interesting.
The two old men were also very happy to see it, and applauded from time to time.
In the evening, before the heavy rain stopped, the two old men stayed with Sun Wukong, and when the two old men got up the next morning, they found that the little monkey was gone.
But there was some extra money on their table, and they were all stunned for a moment, and then they understood a little that this was the money that the little monkey gave them for food.
............
Sun Wukong came out of the old lady, and after a half-day journey, he had to stop again, because the sky went down again and it was raining heavily.
It just so happened that there was a water temple in front of it, which should have been built with the help of some nearby villagers, so there was no wide space, but it was enough for people to live in.
Sun Wukong rested in the temple like this, and was preparing to leave after the rain stopped, but today's heavy rain was a bit fierce, and it didn't stop until midnight.
Just when Sun Wukong was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard two voices, which immediately woke him up.
"How's the offerings for those people going?" a majestic voice sounded from the high platform.
"Returning to the river god, the villain did not see any sign that they were preparing offerings. An answer was heard below.
"Heh, they all dare to disobey my orders now, don't they take their own gods in their eyes?"
"Lord River God, there have been many natural and man-made disasters this year, and the nearby villages are basically barely able to make ends meet, so they would like to ask you for a little more time. The voice below also had a hint of pleading.
It's really not that they are not unsatisfied, but that the conditions are too unacceptable.
Their river god is not only as simple as three livestock and six animals, but every time they sacrifice to the river god, they basically have to empty the family of three for half a year.
Therefore, almost every household in the nearby village has no food in stock, and the annual busyness is just barely able to survive.
Now in the event of a disaster, they have no food reserves at all, so they can only try their best to survive, and as for the sacrifice to the river god, they can no longer complete it.
But the river god didn't care about this, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, this is a test given to them by God, if they can't even accept this test, how can they prove that he is sincerely serving this god?"
"It seems that God is too merciful to them. After the river god said this, the man below suddenly fell to the ground, and his whole body trembled.
"I beg the river god to spare my life, and I beg the river god to give us a few days of grace, we will definitely be able to gather the offerings, and I ask the river god to have mercy!" 、
However, the clay statue above is really iron-hearted, and there is no emotion.
Sun Wukong froze in place and didn't move, he didn't dare to move, he listened to the conversation between the river god and the man.
At this time, he suddenly remembered what the old couple said last night, and Sun Wukong jumped up all of a sudden.
The person kneeling on the ground at this moment was also taken aback, and then saw that it was a monkey all the time, so he didn't pay any more attention, but the whole person spread out in place, and kept muttering in his mouth: "It's over, it's really over." ”
At the same time, the wind began to blow in the vicinity, and the heavy rain became more and more majestic.
Sun Wukong didn't care about this person, and hurried to the meeting, he was going to inform the old couple and let them hide.
However, due to the rain, the mountain road became muddy, and at the same time, it was still night, and the night was very dark, which greatly limited Sun Wukong's vision.
So Sun Wukong's speed has not been raised, and when Sun Wukong returned to that village, he saw a scene that made his eyes split.
The whole village has been flooded, some people are crying for help, some people are already floating on the water, there is no life left.
This is the first time Sun Wukong has seen such a disaster scene, and the first time he has seen such a human tragedy.
And he also knew that such a tragedy was only artificially created because their offerings were delayed.
Maybe the river god was just in a bad mood at that time, so he just found a random reason.
Sun Wukong's eyes were full of disbelief as he watched all this, and then he began to run towards the village like crazy.
He was going to the old couple.
Someone also saw him, but no one paid attention, everyone was going around to save people, save themselves, who had time to pay attention to the monkey all the time.
Soon, Sun Wukong found the old couple, because they had already been found, but they had no breath.
Sun Wukong looked at the old couple blankly, not knowing what to think.
Obviously, he was still alive yesterday, but yesterday he was kind enough to let him, a wild monkey, into the house to hide from the rain and give him food.
Today, he has closed his eyes and died, which made Sun Wukong a little unacceptable for a while.
In this way, Sun Wukong stood in front of the two old men for a long time and did not speak, and no one paid attention to him, maybe some people were a little surprised to see this scene, but no one could spare time at the moment.
But soon, someone screamed in surprise.
When everyone looked for prestige, they found that the monkey was kowtowing respectfully to the two old men.
"This?" the crowd was puzzled.
But some people seem to know the truth, "In the morning, the grandmother said that there was a monkey in their house last night, and they invited the monkey to dinner, and the monkey performed for them, it seems that this monkey?"
............
Sun Wukong is thanking the old couple for a meal, although he said that he would not die of hunger without that meal, but the feeling of being cared for and cared for made Sun Wukong unforgettable for a long time.
Half an hour later, Sun Wukong left here, and no one stopped him, and even had a good impression of many of him, such a monkey who has always been affectionate and righteous, it was the first time they had seen him.
However, everyone soon heard the news of this monkey again, not anything else, but this monkey smashed several river temples, and heard that the river god was so angry that he was ready to kill this monkey, but he escaped.
When they heard the news, everyone looked at each other, and some people secretly applauded in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it.
