Qingyunguan is no exception, as midnight approaches, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has been served, and the table is full of mountain treasures - on the mountain, there is nothing else. There is also a share of the credit for the flat hair, and the stewed pheasant and smoked hare on the table are all provided by it.

sitting, there are Ma Fenghou, Xiao Qi, Chen Ergou, in addition, the ones who are qualified to serve on the table are Chijiri, Old Scar and a handful of hair, which can be regarded as representing the three generations of the old, strong and young monkeys.

Except for Ma Fenghou sitting on a specially made raised stool for him, the other three monkeys were all standing on the stool, their eyes staring at the plates and bowls on the table, and the corners of their mouths were straight into their mouths.

As for the other monkeys, although they are not qualified to serve on the table, Xiao Qi has already distributed food to them, which is specially prepared for the monkeys, which is relatively light. In addition, each monkey's lunch box also contains two dumplings. It's been a busy day for this meal.

"Master Monkey, after eating, I have to go home to worship my ancestors." Chen Ergou was mainly greedy, but Master Monkey didn't speak, and no one did chopsticks.

Ma Fenghou also retracted his thoughts that had drifted into the distance, nodded his little brain, and then the chopsticks and monkey paws flew together, and the dinner table immediately became noisy.

"Brother Monkey, the New Year is auspicious." Xiao Qi sandwiched a chicken leg for Brother Monkey.

"Master Monkey, there are more than every year." Chen Ergou also hurriedly followed suit and sandwiched a small fried fish for Master Monkey, which was caught from the hot spring, there was no big fish there, and the largest one was only a long one, which could only be fried and eaten, but the taste was very delicious.

Squeak, the old scar bared his teeth, grabbed the smoked rabbit's head with his little paws, and put it in the Ma Fenghou bowl, it seems that this guy knows who is the head who can bring warmth to the monkeys.

A pinch of hair also did the same, reaching out to grab the plate of fried mountain mushrooms, there is an old saying: fried you are mushrooms, if you don't fry you, you are dog pee, Master Wang, even people are very supportive of you.

But the fried mushrooms are hot dishes, and the soup is very hot, so hot that a handful of hairs shake off the little paws, but he still threw the mushrooms into Ma Fenghou's bowl, and by the way, he also threw a few drops of vegetable soup on the face of Master Wang.

As for Akajiri, he has always been loyal, grabbing a large piece of chicken and putting it in Ma Fenghou's bowl, well, a piece of chicken butt.

Soon, Ma Fenghou's bowl was sharpened, and his heart was full of emotion: no matter which one it was, it contained a strong sense of affection, he was no longer a son-in-law who only cared about pleasure, he now had more and more concerns, and after becoming a monkey, he realized what a man's responsibility was. Well, this chicken butt will be rewarded to the second master.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is underway, and occasionally a firecracker or two is remembered outside - at the gate of Qingyunguan, Chen Ergou hung two paper lanterns, which were illuminated by lanterns, and the monkeys had more fun.

Squeak, a few monkeys burst into the chamber. At first, I thought they were too hungry to help it, but Ma Fenghou soon noticed the panic on the monkey's face, so he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and went out to check, only to see that in the dark night, a flame burning not far in front of Qingyunguan was particularly eye-catching.

Fireworks? No, it's on fire—Marquis Ma quickly reacted, because in the courtyard, there were still a few monkeys with sticks in their hands. It's a real firewood stick, and the tip of the stick is shining red.

You don't have to think about it to know that it must be the monkey that poked it with a burning stick when it set off firecrackers, causing a mountain fire.

Children can't play with fire, let alone even more dishonest little monkeys - Ma Fenghou blamed himself fiercely in his heart, his life experience is still too little. In this winter, the forest is dry and dry, and with a spark, it will soon become a prairie fire.

And a wildfire is definitely a disaster for the creatures in the forest. What's more, Ma Fenghou has already regarded this mountain as his private property, and he must not be ravaged by the mountain fire!

"Oh, mom, it's on fire, it's on fire-" Chen Ergou was numb, so he was left shouting there, and then he saw Master Monkey and Xiao Qi rushing out of Qingyun Temple, and he chased after him.

When you get to the outside, you can see more clearly, the place where the fire started is a forest dozens of meters away from Qingyunguan, it is a pine forest, the ground is full of pine needles and fallen leaves, and the pine trees are rich in oil, once ignited, it becomes a super torch, lit in the night sky.

The monkeys' alarm was quite timely, and at this moment, the fire was starting, and only two or three torches were lit. However, the fire is also spreading rapidly.

"Fight the fire!" Ma Fenghou was really anxious, galloped towards the fire, ran out a few steps, turned around and ran into Qingyunguan, and soon ran out with a big bucket.

The buckets are almost taller than him, and a bucket of water is thirty or forty catties, but Ma Fenghou is walking like a fly; Chen Ergou also came to his senses at this time, threw his beloved military coat directly into the water tank, and after absorbing the water, he also rushed to the fire.

This trick also reminded Xiao Qi, and she also called the monkeys to quickly take off their clothes and dip them in water to fight the fire together. Although the strength of a single monkey is insignificant, it can't stand a large number, and it can be used by a few people.

It was probably the first time for the monkeys to see such a fierce fire, and out of their innate fear of fire, they wanted the trees to fall and scatter, but when they saw the kings rushing up to put out the fire, how could they lag behind?

There were a few monkeys, such as the timid ones with dysentery, who inevitably stopped moving forward, and as a result, they were all screamed and kicked by Akajiri, and they all rushed to the fire.

Wow - Ma Fenghou poured a bucket of water on the fire tree, and the flames were dark, but soon they re-emerged, and there was a more vigorous trend, and Ma Fenghou knew what it meant to be a drop in the bucket.

"Master Monkey, let's guard the surrounding trees and don't let the fire expand!" Chen Ergou shouted loudly, he still has some experience in fighting fires in the mountains and forests.

Only then did Ma Fenghou understand that it didn't matter how many trees he burned, the key was not to let the fire continue to spread. So, he also dipped his robe in water, swished and climbed to a big tree next to him, and his little paws shook the wet robe and covered it on the pine branch that had just been ignited.

The oncoming flames scorched Ma Fenghou's nerves, and the monkey hair on his body was scorched when it was on fire, emitting a pungent smell; But in the flames, this smell was not enough at all, and the flames were burning with billowing smoke, which directly enveloped Ma Fenghou, choking him with difficulty breathing and his eyes difficult to open.

If it had been replaced by the previous big and young, he would have been the first to flee for his life; But the current Marquis Ma Fenghou will never back down, and unconsciously, he has realized the persistence of life!

A squeak sounded next to Ma Fenghou, and he saw that Akajiri also followed the example of the Monkey King, and his little paws shook off the clothes that Xiao Qi had modified for him.

Second, it's good! Marquis Ma Feng praised him, and then asked Chijiri to take his place temporarily, while he jumped under the tree, re-moistened his robe in the bucket brought by Chen Ergou, and continued to climb the tree. In the process, more and more monkeys began to climb the trees, all pulling on their small coats, very energetic.

Chen Ergou went back and forth, specifically responsible for fetching water. Later, when he saw that the monkeys were too troublesome to go up and down, he was responsible for dipping their coats in water, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and one person was eager to split them in half.

Xiao Qi also mingled among the monkeys, and also climbed the tree to block the fire, and the flames and smoke licked her immature little face, completely ignoring it.

This is her home, in Xiao Qi's mind, the concept of home is incomparably precious and sacred, and no one can destroy it!

It is said that there are many people and there are many monkeys, and the strength is not small, and the fire is forcibly blocked, only the three large pine trees that were originally lit are still on fire, but the fire has become smaller and smaller, and finally only green smoke is left.

The tension gradually dissipated, and Marquis Ma Fenghou came down from the tree and instructed the monkeys to completely extinguish the embers around the fire. Some monkeys think that the water supply is not available, and they find that there is smoke somewhere, and they go up to soak in urine, and the effect is also good, but the urine evaporates when it is hot, and the taste is unpleasant.

After the fire was completely extinguished, the sky had already brightened, and the night of Chinese New Year's Eve passed like this, I wonder if this is the most memorable Chinese New Year's Eve in future memories?

After tossing for half a night, all the troops involved in fighting the fire were exhausted and sat together in a heap. Only then did they have time to look at each other, and then the laughter was accompanied by the squeaks of the monkeys.

Ma Fenghou was the worst, he rushed the most, he was the closest to the source of the fire, most of the hair on his body was burned, and the handsome monkey king in the past became a bald monkey.

The other monkeys were not much better, and the monkey hair on their bodies was more or less lost. The most painful thing for the monkeys was that their beloved coats were as dirty as black rags, and they were burned with big holes and small eyes.

Even a pinch of hair, the little face that was pink and white in the past, was blackened; Xiao Qi is even more miserable, and directly becomes an African child.

"In the future, if you see anyone playing with fire again, you will hit the hammer!" Chen Ergou wiped a handful of sweat on his face with his sleeve, and then turned into a big flower face, it is estimated that if he plays Bao Gong, he will not need to wear makeup.

This firefighting also made Ma Fenghou realize the importance of fire prevention, and he also tweeted to the monkey group, resolutely to prevent such incidents from happening.

The monkeys were all trained by the king to droop their heads, and Marquis Ma immediately changed the direction of the wind and began to commend and reward the monkeys such as Akajiri who were extremely brave in the firefighting. Directly to the affordable, the distribution of the big apple bought back a year ago.

The other monkeys looked greedy, and Ma Fenghou looked at their eager eyes, the burnt monkey hair and dirty little faces, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, so every monkey had a share.

It's hard to be sorry for this group of monkeys and monkeys, no matter how much role they can play, they are all good if they don't become deserters!

Speaking of deserters, Xiao Qi hurriedly counted the number of monkeys, and no matter how he checked, there was one less. What if a monkey dies in the line of duty?

"Where's the dysentery?" Xiao Qi quickly identified the missing object.

It was easy to look around the fire, but no trace of dysentery was found. Considering that this person is usually a coward, Ma Fenghou went back to Qingyun Temple to touch around, but he was still nowhere to be seen.

Settle down and carefully recall the process of fighting the fire last night, if there is really a monkey burning body, it must make a big movement, and the dysentery is not the copper-headed and iron-brained Sun Dasheng. Therefore, Ma Fenghou estimated that this goods must have been scared to become a deserter.

Of course, a monkey on the opposite side can't deny the merits of the monkeys, so after making sure that the fire will not recur, Ma Fenghou led the firefighting army back to Qingyunguan, these warriors who came out of the fire are worthy of reward.

"Oops, my New Year's money!" Chen Ergou suddenly screamed, groped in the pocket of his military coat for a while, and took out a pile of bits and pieces of banknotes, all of which were curled up by fire, and the loss was very serious. For money fans, this is even more uncomfortable than cutting meat, Chen Ergou squatted on the ground and pounded the ground with his hands.

Bear--Ma Feng Hou Nian directly gave his apprentice a big red envelope for his outstanding performance last night, which was thicker than yesterday's.

Chen Ergou immediately came to his senses, and he smirked: "I didn't go back to worship my ancestors last night, so I should burn some paper money for my ancestors." Ancestor, this is real money, you must bless me with a lot of money this year-"
