Chapter 211: An Unexpected Encounter
Today is the temple fair of Master Guan.
There are a lot of people in front of the Guandi Temple, and there are really a lot of people who come.
The closer to the Guandi Temple, the more and more crowds gathered, Murong Jie raised his eyes and found that there were many people everywhere, talking about Sizhaotang, the gateway of the Duanyang Festival.
With the Duanyang Festival approaching, this has obviously become the hottest topic of conversation among the people, Murong Jie has no interest in it, anyway, he is already a disciple.
There are a lot of strangers in Luoxia Town, and you don't need to ask to know that these people want to come to participate in the Duanyang Sword Debate, worship in Sizhaotang to practice qi and cultivate immortals, and only crowd the market in Luoxia Town.
Suddenly, something caught Murong Jie's eye, it was a very peculiar little long-eared monkey.
It was a little orange spot, less than two feet tall, very round and cute, with a curly tail coiled around it, at least five or six feet long.
The fur on the belly and face of the little long-eared monkey is as white as snowflakes, and the rabbit-like ears are almost as long as the height of the little one.
Around the little long-eared monkey, there were many children watching the excitement, and Murong Jie, like them, felt extremely curious, he had never seen such a monkey.
How can a monkey have such long ears, this must not be an ordinary monkey.
The monkey was bought by an old man, and many people asked him for the price, but in the end they were all deterred.
Lao Suo insisted on fifty taels of silver before he was willing to sell him, a little long-eared monkey. For ordinary people who have to dig food in the soil, let alone fifty taels of silver, even if it is ten taels of silver, I am afraid that there are few families that can easily take it out.
So everyone watched it for a long time, and everyone wanted the little long-eared monkey, but no one had the money to buy it.
Murong Jie also likes this little long-eared monkey very much, he knows that he can't afford it anyway, but if he can't afford it, he can at least take a second look, this little long-eared monkey is indeed very cute.
At this time, the little long-eared monkey lay motionless on the ground, as if he was very unhappy, I don't know who provoked him, maybe because he knew that the master was planning to sell him, so he was depressed and listless lying on the ground.
Don't look at the little long-eared monkey lying on the ground, the long ears are not idle, constantly moving around is very spiritual, as if you can hear the sound thousands of miles away, which is why this monkey will ask for such a high price before selling, if you find a monkey man to sell ordinary monkeys, let alone fifty taels of silver, only five taels of silver, you can buy ten eight, then you have to say that it is a loss.
In order to get the little long-eared monkey to sell it for a good price, the monkey trickster tried to bargain with the little long-eared monkey. He wanted the little long-eared monkey not to always lie on his stomach, at least to make some difficult movements, so as not to make him embarrassed in front of so many people, or let his little long-eared monkey drop the price.
No matter what the monkey trickster says, the little long-eared monkey just won't listen. The angry monkey trickster began to threaten the little long-eared monkey, and the little long-eared monkey did not show weakness, and went up to the back of the monkey trickster, and grabbed the monkey trickster's hair tightly.
One person and one monkey made such a big fuss, which made the people who watched the excitement laugh, and the terrible monkey man made it bitter.
His face was scratched, his nose was bleeding, and even his hair was pulled off, so that little guy was really hard to deal with.
The terrible monkey is popular enough, he threatened to skin the little long-eared monkey alive, and a human-monkey battle began, but it was obvious that the monkey man did not seem to be the opponent of the little long-eared monkey.
One person and one monkey made a lot of noise, and the onlookers were in full swing, and suddenly out of nowhere, a crisp and sweet voice came.
"Don't make a fuss, I bought this little fellow, don't you want fifty taels of silver? I'll give you fifty taels of gold now." ”
Hearing this, the monkey man turned his anger into joy, and looked around for someone to speak. The people around to watch the excitement are also looking left and right, wondering what it is, they are so generous, willing to spend fifty taels of gold to buy such a little monkey, but there is really no place to use the money, I don't know if it is dizzy.
It turned out that the person who spoke was actually a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, this young man was dressed in a cyan robe, his appearance was clear and his eyes were very handsome, and he knew at a glance that he was the son of a large family.
The young man took out fifty taels of gold from his waist, and his face was full of disdainful arrogance. When the monkey man saw that there was really gold to be made, his eyes were green at that time.
"Take the silver, and leave the little one behind. The boy said in a contemptuous tone.
"Yes, yes, this young man, he will be yours from now on!" said the monkey man, hurrying to snatch the gold from the young man's hand.
After getting fifty taels of gold, the monkey man bit and bit and looked and looked, confirmed that it was real gold, and immediately put it into his arms, and turned around and wanted to slip away.
"Wait a minute. The boy said suddenly.
"Ah, sir, what else do you command?" the monkey man asked respectfully.
"Let me ask you, where did you get this long-eared monkey?"
"Ahh......h Of course...... It was caught from the mountains. The monkey trickster looked a little panicked.
"You can catch him?" asked the boy, staring at the monkey man.
"Needless to say, I'm a veteran monkey catcher, and many people in the village know that there's nothing to make a fuss about catching such a monkey. The monkey charmer became more and more frightened.
Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly kicked and overturned the monkey man unexpectedly, how did the monkey man know that the young man had this hand, and he was embarrassed by a vicious dog pooping.
"You, you, you...... Trade...... You love me, if you want to buy it, you can buy it, if you don't buy it, you will pull it down, why do you want to beat people!"
The monkey man got up from the ground with difficulty, and wanted to scold the boy a few words, but he knew very well that he was not a young man's opponent, and he was afraid that he would ask for hardship instead, so he had to fight for reason.
The boy hit someone, it was really wrong first, no matter what there was, you can say it well, there is no need to fight for no reason.
Many people in Luoxia Town know this monkey trickster, who is abducted and deceived on weekdays, and has long been a well-known villain.
Those who know see what is going on, and think that it must be this kid again, or steal or cheat someone's things, but more spectators who don't know about monkey tricks have pointed the finger at the handsome young man.
In any case, teenagers should not hit people. Taking advantage of the onlookers' strong heads, the monkey man seized the opportunity to smear oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away quietly.
When the boy got rid of the crowd of people who were playing right and wrong, he found that the monkey trickster had long since disappeared, and only the poor little long-eared monkey remained in place for unknown reasons, as if he was watching the excitement.
It was not only the little long-eared monkey that watched the excitement, but Murong Jie was also inexplicable from the sidelines.
He didn't know who this young man was, but he had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen this young man before, but he couldn't remember it anyway.
Of course, there may be another reason, that is, Murong Jie has never seen such a beautiful young man in the world.
Murong Jie originally thought that he was not bad, and he didn't dare to say that no one could match him, and it could be regarded as a jade tree in the wind.
But when he saw the handsome young man in front of him, Murong Jie knew what a swan was, and he was just a toad, how could there be such a beautiful man in the world, I am afraid that the Jade Emperor's left golden boy does not need to be a handsome young man in front of him.
