Chapter 10: Meeting the Village

Early morning. The eastern sky glowed a little red, and all kinds of birds flew out of the trees, soaring and chirping in the sky.

The monkey who woke up also began to move things to the raft, but there was nothing to move, except to check the raft again after binding the dried fish.

After confirming that it was ready, he immediately pushed the raft into the water. But he felt a little strange in his heart now, obviously he didn't sleep much last night, and when he woke up this morning, he found that he was actually standing, and he actually fell asleep, and he felt a little confused.

But I didn't care too much, mainly standing up to sleep is also mental, sleeping less time than lying down to sleep, and the mood is suddenly good. Thinking that I would soon be able to go to Qingling Sect to apprentice, my heart was happy, but then I didn't know if I would accept myself when I was both longing and hesitant.

The raft had been pushed into the river, and he climbed on the raft barefoot, and began to support the raft with a long stick, drifting downstream with the current, holding it up from time to time, changing direction to avoid obstacles in the river. The rest of the time I sat on the raft and watched the scenery on both sides of the river, which was very pleasant.

The journey was relatively smooth and there was no danger. By the afternoon, the river in front of him was cheerful, and he saw a wide area at the end of the river, with many fertile fields and farms, and occasionally the busy figures of the villagers.

The village was built on the bank of the river, and a long wooden bridge across the river was very rudimentary, so the names of the villages walking on it were very cautious.

When the monkey floats in front of the village with a raft. A group of children also spotted him, all with wide eyes and pointing at him. Babbling and screaming.

But it's true that he is dressed in an unusual way, with a lot of leaves stuck in his messy hair, a bandage made of clothes wrapped around his upper body, and his lower pants are torn into strips of cloth hanging on his knees, and his bare feet are barefoot. The immature face was covered with dust and looked dirty. Survive the appearance of a savage child.

At this time, the adults also came over, and when they saw that he was just a child, they also lowered their guard. An older man asked kindly:

"Which village are you, how did you get like this, come on, it's so pitiful."

The monkey looked at the old man at a loss, and his heart echoed in his heart that the village chief said that there were many bad people outside. So he didn't respond to the old man immediately, and after thinking about it, it was hard to refuse, so after thinking about it, he also walked ashore and came to the old man's side.

The old man thought that the monkey should have suffered some accident, so he was more understanding that the monkey did not reply, and he might be more afraid of giving birth, and the children were like this, and so were his grandchildren. So I didn't pay much attention to it. Then he pulled the monkey to the village, and at the same time. Ordered the onlookers to disperse, and it could be seen that this old man was more prestigious in the village.

But the monkey doesn't care about this, it's better to plan to go to the Qingling Sect as soon as possible, otherwise you will have to wait for another three years if you miss the entrance exam, and you will be almost 11 years old in three years, so you still have to learn a hammer, and you have to find your parents.

So after finding an opportunity to ask the way to Qingling Sect, he hurried away. If he had been safe, he would not have left the village, and he would have run out to prepare to enter the sect. Thinking about it all the way, but along the way, the old man was always asking questions, especially concerned about his family situation, and he looked very concerned, which made it really difficult for people to refuse, so they could only deal with it patiently.

However, he had a feeling in his heart that since he had fallen asleep standing that night, his hearing, vision and brain had become flexible, and he was wondering if something had happened, and after thinking about it or not thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to care, thinking that even if something happened, it would be a development for the better.

Under the guidance of the old man, when passing through some sections of the village, the monkey found that there were many white cloths and some altars by the river in the village, and it seemed that there was some kind of superstition in the village, but this was also normal, and his own village also had beliefs and believed in mountain gods. Thinking that this place has nothing to do with me anyway, I am relieved, this is a matter of other people's villages, and I don't bother to ask if I believe in what is other people's freedom.

When he arrived at the old man's house, the old man immediately called his wife to come and take the monkey to take a bath. And he himself said that he was going to catch an old hen in the chicken pen to celebrate the arrival of a guest at home.

The monkey is a little wrong with this, and always feels that the family is overly enthusiastic, you must know that a chicken is very precious in the village, not to mention the old hen that can lay eggs, and every chicken in his village is reluctant to eat, and generally sells some money to subsidize the family. Very few people have the luxury of eating chicken. This inevitably made him a little uncomfortable.

After taking a bath, he began to redress his wound and then changed into an old dress given by the old woman, which fit perfectly. As if it was worn by him at his age, the old woman explained that it was left over from his grandson, and he couldn't wear it when he grew up, so he stored it, but he didn't expect to wear it for him today, and the old woman was also very happy.

When the monkey asked why she hadn't seen her grandson, she dodged her expression and said that she had gone to the town study with her parents, and that there were many bandits in the mountains on the long way, so she rarely came back, so when she saw the monkey of the same height and age, she would inevitably think of her lovely grandson.

The monkey was also a little gloomy after hearing this.
