322.Journey to the West (2)
The little monkey was picked up by the two immortals, squeaked happily, and his simple eyes revealed simple happiness, and he thought that the two immortals wanted to play with him.
But at this moment, Sun Wukong was chilling, because he knew that these two people were going to catch the little monkey back and eat monkey brains.
At this time, Sun Wukong heard the cry of the little monkey, "King, King." ”
The little child wanted to share his joy with the king.
But Sun Wukong's mind did suddenly sound the words that the monkeys said by chance, the king is to protect them.
In an instant, Sun Wukong's blood rushed to his head, and his whole body jumped forward, blocking in front of the two immortals, his eyes staring at them, although he didn't say human words, he made a squeaky and threatening cry.
"Yo, this stupid monkey seems to know something. was stopped by Sun Wukong, and the two of them were not annoyed, but laughed.
"Senior brother, why don't you replace it with this monkey, I think this monkey is more exciting, you look at his eyes, yo yo, there is some hatred. The junior brother said with a smile.
The senior brother also seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Forget it, let him give birth to a few more monkeys here and see how his offspring are." ”
"Now I finally know why Master loves the monkeys here, and it's really exciting. ”
When they spoke, the two of them didn't pay attention to Sun Wukong and prepared to leave directly.
But when Sun Wukong saw that they wanted to leave with the little monkey, he rushed directly to bite it, and he wanted to protect the little monkey.
But it is clear that he is no match for these two at all, or even qualified to let them face it squarely.
However, Sun Wukong deserves to be a different species of heaven and earth, and he still took advantage of the negligence of the two to scratch the two.
A group of monkeys were a little puzzled when they saw the king's behavior, but they soon understood, because Sun Wukong squeaked at them a few times, so that they all understood.
The next moment, the group of monkeys began to scatter and flee, and the little monkeys in the hands of the two also began to struggle violently, with a look of fear in their bright eyes.
"Oh, little beast, it's not just dead and alive, it's your blessing to be seen by us. The person who was scratched by Sun Wukong was a junior brother, and with an angry face at this time, Sun Wukong was about to be killed on the spot.
However, in the end, he was stopped by his senior brother, and he just taught Sun Wukong a hard lesson.
At this moment, Sun Wukong felt powerless like never before, and his originally simple and clear heart was also buried in a shadow at this time.
He thought he would be able to protect his family, but now it seems that he simply does not have the slightest ability to protect them.
At the slightest difficulty, he was helpless.
Even Sun Wukong knows that in the coming days, these two people will come, and even more people will come.
At this moment, Sun Wukong's first thought was to run away, which was a biological instinct, but he soon gave up, because he didn't want to leave his family and run away alone, and he promised that he would protect them.
Soon the group of monkeys who had escaped just now would also come, and when they saw that Sun Wukong was injured, they all called anxiously.
............
Chen Lin didn't know why, but suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sour, as if he had entered sand.
Obviously they are two species, and he is also a human being, even if he has such a deep sense of substitution, but at this moment, he just feels a trace of coldness running up from the bottom of his heart.
The little monkey's simple and bright eyes seemed to be imprinted in his mind and could not be erased.
Chen Lin finally wrote in the notebook he carried: "From this moment, Sun Wukong has really changed, he has changed from a wild monkey to a Monkey King."
And all this, in fact, is not Sun Wukong's willingness, maybe he wants to, he just wants to be the simple little monkey who just knows how to play every day. ”
.............
After going back, nearly a month later, Sun Wukong's injuries have also healed, but his mood has not improved.
Although the monkeys saw the appearance of their own king, they all tried to make him happy, but Sun Wukong still couldn't be happy.
On this day, Sun Wukong was lying on a stone on the top of the mountain, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, looking up at the starry sky, his eyes full of confusion and frustration.
At this moment, two monkeys came over carrying a large bunch of bananas, the old monkey and the little monkey.
When the little monkey saw Sun Wukong, he immediately shouted happily: "King, King, look what I brought you." ”
Sun Wukong turned his head to look over and saw two monkeys, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile on his fluffy face.
"King, why are you upset, aren't bananas delicious?" asked the little monkey innocently.
Sun Wukong looked at the innocent eyes of the little monkey and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Or the old monkey was calmer, "King, do you have something on your mind?"
"You call me the king, but I can't protect you, I ......" Sun Wukong couldn't say any more, his heart was now full of self-blame and guilt.
"You have protected us, the king, every time other animals come to bully us, isn't it the king who fights them off? The little monkey said with adoration.
In his eyes, the king is the most powerful monkey in the world.
Sun Wukong smiled bitterly and didn't speak, indeed, he thought so before, he thought he could protect them.
But when the two men appeared, he knew that he had nothing to do to protect them.
And he knew better that their group of monkeys had been used as reserve food, and they would come at any time to take their lives and eat their monkey brains.
The old monkey also seemed to understand, and suddenly said in a short time: "I heard that there are many powerful people or demons in the outside world, if the king can learn from them, then he can really protect us." ”
Sun Wukong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he turned over and stood up neatly, "Really?" At this moment, his eyes were so expectant, so eager.
The old monkey nodded and said, "Yes." ”
At this moment, Sun Wukong once again made a decision, a decision that would affect his life, and even the fate of the entire Three Realms.
..........
Half a month later, Sun Wukong stood on the seashore, looking at the vast sea, looking at the unusually simple raft beside him, and a trace of timidity suddenly rose in his heart.
This is the instinct of a living being, facing the endless sea, looking at the raging waves, who can not be in awe?
Sun Wukong is also afraid, but what he is even more afraid of is his sense of powerlessness in the face of fate.
He didn't want to go through that feeling again, he didn't want his family to be eaten at will, he wanted the monkeys to live a carefree life.
"King, why don't we go, aren't we fine now?" the little monkey took Sun Wukong's hand a little timidly.
The other monkeys also spoke out to persuade them.
But at this moment, Sun Wukong has already made up his mind.
"Boys, when I come back, when I come back, we will never be bullied again, we will not have to worry anymore. Sun Wukong's voice suddenly became firm.
At the same time, his eyes began to show a fierce look when he looked at the boundless sea, and from today, the simplicity and clarity in Sun Wukong's eyes began to gradually dissipate, until it completely faded sometime in the future.
When Sun Wukong got on the raft and began to paddle towards the sea in the unknown direction, a group of monkeys were reluctant to give up, and at the same time shouted: "King, come back early, King, we will miss you." ”
Sun Wukong didn't speak, just turned his back to them, and at this moment his heart became more and more determined, he must learn his skills and come back to protect his family.
...........
Soon, Sun Wukong lost his way in the sea, and he was also full of fear of the sea.
The firmness at the beginning has begun to slowly dissipate at this moment, and there are many times when Sun Wukong regrets it a little, he shouldn't be so impulsive.
But every time at this time, Sun Wukong thinks of those two people, as well as the little monkeys that were taken away, and more monkeys that will be taken away in the future.
Sun Wukong used these to motivate himself and gradually make his heart tenacious and strong.
Sailing at sea is boring and tedious, and at the same time full of endless dangers.
Sun Wukong has experienced countless storms during this time, and he has also experienced endless loneliness.
Sun Wukong doesn't know how long he has been sailing at sea, during this time, he has regretted it countless times, but there have been countless times to re-strengthen his inner belief.
...........
Finally, Sun Wukong saw the coastline and saw his hope, at that time, Sun Wukong's eyes were directly moist, and his whole body began to tremble.
This not only means that he can get out of the sea, but also represents the arrival of hope.
Just when Sun Wukong was looking forward to his return from learning martial arts quickly, he didn't know what kind of journey was waiting for him.
He is a monkey, even if he is a different species of heaven and earth, but he is only a monkey, he has not learned any spells, let alone any tricks, and he also does not know the situation of human society.
He was like a conspicuous anomaly, plunging headlong into the human world.
Some people are afraid of him, some people dislike him, some people want to catch him as a pet, and some people want to kill him, just for a moment of depression in their hearts.
In just one month, Sun Wukong has experienced a lot, and he is confused again at the moment, he thinks that he will be able to quickly learn from his master and learn spells when he arrives on the shore.
But at this moment, he knew that everything was not as simple as he imagined.
But Sun Wukong is Sun Wukong, he is naturally intelligent, coupled with the ordeal at sea for such a long time, his heart began to become strong.
So instead of getting discouraged, he began to learn everything about human beings and began to want to integrate himself into it.
Slowly, Sun Wukong learned to pretend to be stupid and began to learn to go out of the day and night.
In the same way, he also learned to read words and looks, which were brought upon him by the trials and tribulations of this time.
At the same time, Sun Wukong is also looking for a capable person, and he wants to find a master to teach him skills.
Until one day, Sun Wukong saw a human scooping copper coins from a hot oil pot with his bare hands, and a little girl spat flames from her mouth.
That night, Sun Wukong found this human and knelt down in front of him.
At this moment, Sun Wukong has not yet refined the horizontal bones, so he can't speak human words, but he can understand human words.
The two humans, one big and one small, jumped when they first saw a monkey, and they also saw that the monkey was actually wearing human clothes.
The little girl looked up at her father and asked, "Dad, what is he doing here?"
Seeing that Sun Wukong didn't make any drastic moves, the adults also relaxed, "I don't know, but it seems that there is something to ask us?"
Hearing his words, Sun Wukong raised his head and made a movement of fishing for things and spitting flames in his mouth.
"Daddy, does he want to learn our housekeeping skills?" the little girl seemed to understand something.
The adult also understood, but he didn't think that a monkey could be so smart, so he said with some skepticism: "Do you want to learn from us?"
Sun Wukong immediately nodded frantically, and at the same time kept kowtowing.
It was the only hope he had seen in so long, and he didn't want to miss it.
When the little girl saw Sun Wukong so excited, her eyes suddenly showed a look of joy, and she pulled the hem of her father's clothes, and the meaning was very clear.
The adults also looked thoughtful, and at the same time had some thoughts in their hearts.
"Okay, but you need to be obedient, our skills are not something you can learn if you want to. ”
When Sun Wukong heard his words, the excitement in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and he directly did a backflip to vent the excitement in his heart.
Perhaps in his opinion, he will soon be able to learn his skills and go back to protect his family.
In the following days, Sun Wukong lived with the father and daughter, and his father also began to train Sun Wukong and let him make all kinds of difficult movements.
Sun Wukong thought that he was teaching himself skills, so what he learned was called a serious one, even if he was injured countless times and beaten countless times, he still did not give up.
At the same time, the father and daughter also began to take Sun Wukong to perform arts, and with Sun Wukong joining, their income began to skyrocket.
Everyone sees that Sun Wukong is so smart and can complete all kinds of difficult actions, and those who are rich are not stingy with rewards.
This made the father and daughter very happy.
But after a long time, Sun Wukong vaguely noticed something, and it seemed that the things he learned could not protect his family at all.
Until one day, Sun Wukong knocked on his father's door in the middle of the night, and when his father saw Sun Wukong, he seemed to understand something.
sighed and greeted Sun Wukong into the door, this was the first time he had been so polite to Sun Wukong in so long years.
The father poured a cup of tea for Sun Wukong, and then sat opposite each other.
