In the Chinese medicine hall, the skin monkey with a black face was lying on the bed, looking at everyone looking at him like a monkey, and he suddenly sounded that when he was very young, his grandmother was surrounded by a group of people when she was dying.

Master Long was angry and helpless, he scolded the leather monkey and said, "You said you had nothing to do to touch the water?!" ”

The leather monkey raised his hand and saw that the bandages on his hands had been removed, and he looked at his rotten hands, which were white and boneless, startled, and cried out at the moment.

"Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng, where are you?" The leather monkey shouted.

Jiang Sheng hurriedly ran to the hospital bed, he looked at Jiang Sheng aggrievedly, and said, "Jiang Sheng, I'm really going to die." ”

At the entrance of the Chinese medicine hall, Master Guan said: "Doctor, you have to think of a way, this child is singing, and if he has no hands, he will become a waste." ”

The doctor said: "It's better to have no hands than no life, if you don't see your hands again, Da Luo Immortal can't save him, you can see for yourself, his hands are already inflamed!" ”

"Is there really no alternative?" Master Long asked.

The doctor said: "I'll put some medicine on his hands first, you think about it yourself, this is not a lot of trouble, not for the life of this child, I don't want to work hard." ”

The doctor said that he would go into the medicine cabinet to dispense medicine, Master Long was sad, and walked up to the leather monkey and told the leather monkey about the sawing hand, and the leather monkey whined and cried: "How can this person have no hands, how can he act without hands?" ”

Master Long couldn't help but cry, and said: "You can live in the pear orchard in the future, and help me fight when the injury is healed, so as not to complain about me beating you if you don't practice well." ”

"There's a hole in my hand that hurts terribly, and if my hand is gone, it won't hurt me to death?" The leather monkey cried for a long time, and when the doctor applied medicine to his wound, he choked up and said: "Then wait for Ming'er, Ming'er will come to see the hand again, I want to eat something delicious with Jiang Sheng today, can the master reward me with a few eldest sons?" ”

Master Long nodded in agreement, took out a few yuan to the leather monkey, the leather monkey took the money, got up from the bed, looked at Jiang Sheng with a smile and said, "The master is also a rich man now." ”

Jiang Sheng said: "You can lie down and rest, and I will eat with you when you are healed." ”

"No, while I still have claws, I want to experience how rich people live, after today, I will be a waste tomorrow." The monkey staggered out as he spoke.

Jiang Sheng had to step forward to help him, and went to Liyuan Street with the leather monkey, Master Long looked at Hu Xiaomeng and motioned for him to follow, so as not to cause trouble.

Hu Xiaomeng nodded and followed behind Jiang Sheng and the leather monkey.

On Liyuan Street, the leather monkey went to the bun shop for the first time, and when he saw that the bun shop was not open, he asked: "Is the boss going to buy a coffin today, the door is not open." ”

Jiang Sheng said: "The steamed bun shop is generally only open in the morning, and there are few customers in the afternoon, so it is not open." ”

"That's a pity, I haven't eaten anything delicious, take me to eat everything you know." Leather Monkey said.

Jiang Sheng nodded, and took the skin monkey to eat stinky tofu, snow cabbage burrito, sugar cake and rock sugar gourd, etc., Hu Xiaomeng was also called over to eat some together.

The leather monkey looked at Hu Xiaomeng and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I won't run." ”

In the past, the leather monkey would take the opportunity to run out of the pear orchard and want to sneak home, but was caught twice by Master Long, beaten all over blood, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Hu Xiaomeng said: "It's not that I'm afraid that you will run, or I'm afraid that you will faint." ”

"I'm in good health, if I don't want to fall, who can let me fall, let alone so many delicious foods." The leather monkey said proudly with his face up, and he suddenly saw a candy seller, and shouted: "Grandpa the Great Sage!" ”

There are all kinds of sugar figures on the hawker's wheat zha, and the leather monkey is very happy, buying a Zhu Bajie for Hu Xiaomeng, buying a Tang Seng for Jiang Sheng, and buying Sun Wukong himself.

The leather monkey laughed and said: "When I was a child, I heard others tell the story of the Monkey King, he has a purple and gold crown on his head, his feet are colorful and douyun, and he is dressed in gold clothes and gold armor. ”

The leather monkey said, his expression suddenly dimmed, and said: "It's a pity that the great sage of Taoism, with the golden hoop of the Buddhist family, has never been able to turn over the palm of the old man." ”

The three of them walked from the east end of Liyuan Street to the west end, eating with a round belly, and when they came back, the skin monkey asked: "Jiang Sheng, how much is the meat bun per cage?" ”

Jiang Sheng said: "One dollar and one cage, one cage of ten." ”

"Oh." Leather Monkey said. "Do you also like meat buns the most?"

Jiang Sheng wanted to say no, but seeing that the skin monkey loved meat buns so much, he hummed and said, "I like meat buns the most." ”

The leather monkey laughed and said: "I know that this is the case, in the future, I will be rich and invite you to eat meat buns every day, you see that my hand does not hurt anymore, if there is a meat bun to eat a cage, I am afraid that it will not hurt much if I chop my hand." ”

The leather monkey said a lot that day, and he couldn't wait to tell Jiang Sheng all the words in his life, he asked Jiang Sheng a lot of questions, asked him what games he liked to play before, asked him how the little master's life was going, and asked him what kind of wife he would marry in the future.

Jiang Sheng replied tirelessly, every time the leather monkey listened, a new question came out, and Hu Xiaomeng on the side was sleepy when he listened, he didn't understand why the leather monkey was obviously still sick, why he was suddenly so energetic.

When he went to bed at night, Master Guan came over to remind the skin monkey to go to bed early and not touch the water, and prepare for surgery tomorrow.

The leather monkey agreed to come down, and after Master Guan left, he bragged to the brothers and sisters, saying that he and Jiang Sheng went out today to eat how many delicious foods, the delicacies of the mountains and seas were all things they had never eaten, and the brothers were very envious until Hu Xiaomeng went to the disciple's room to blow out the kerosene lamp.

The leather monkey looked at Jiang Sheng, who was gradually falling asleep, suddenly remembered something, shook Jiang Sheng, and said: "By the way, Jiang Sheng, I forgot to tell you, in fact, my real name is Meng Xiaoer, but our pear garden has a rule that you can't mention the word Meng, and if you commit the taboo of happy dreams, I will be surnamed Kong." ”

Seeing that Jiang Sheng didn't respond again, the leather monkey didn't say anything more.

The next morning, when the sky was numb and bright, Jiang Sheng heard the little shovel say, "It's so fragrant, who buys meat buns?" ”

Jiang Sheng opened his eyes and saw that there was an oiled paper bag at the head of his bed, which was steaming hot and full of buns.

He turned his head to look at the monkey and saw that the monkey was not around, so he got up and asked, "Where is the monkey?" ”

"Let's go to the bathroom."

Xi'er jumped off the kang and ran to the yard, and when she saw that there was no one around the flower bed, she ran to the toilet to take a look.

"Brother Jiang Sheng, I haven't seen anyone."

Jiang Sheng put on his clothes and went upstairs, Hu Xiaomeng had just woken up, and when he saw that it was Jiang Sheng, he said, "Senior brother got up so early?" ”

Jiang Sheng said: "The monkey is gone. ”

So the people of the whole Liyuan began to look for skin monkeys, and every house, as well as the surrounding alleys, as well as the large and small shops on Liyuan Street, were nowhere to be seen.

Master Long said: "This rabbit cub, eighty percent want to run home again, his home is 108,000 miles away, and he has been fighting for many years, I don't know how many people have died, and now the war is in chaos, it is really worrying!" ”

Jiang Sheng looked at the neatly folded blankets on the leather monkey bed, as well as the cold meat buns at the head of his bed, and he counted them, a total of nine.

There are ten steamed buns in a cage, and the leather monkey loves meat buns the most, but he only eats one.

Jiang Sheng pinched a bun and put it in his mouth to chew, he suddenly seemed to see a skin monkey get up in pain early in the morning, went to Liyuan Street to buy buns, and then reluctantly ate one and put the rest at the head of Jiang Sheng's bed.

Jiang Sheng walked out of the yard while eating steamed buns, ignoring the other people's calls, Jiang Sheng walked through Liyuan Street, walked across the overpass where they often practiced in the morning, and arrived at the river where they used to practice their throats.

Jiang Sheng stood on the bank of the river with abundant water and grass, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a person lying on the river, lean and thin.

Hu Xiaomeng chased after him with a group of junior brothers, and saw that there were people floating on the river, and while running, he took off his shirt and threw it on the shore, he carried the leather monkey to the shore and kept pressing the leather monkey's chest, but the leather monkey had been dead for too long, and his body was already cold.

Master Long buried the monkey on the bank of the river not far from the overpass in Liyuan Town, the child died without a coffin, nor could he set up a monument, a group of brothers in Liyuan cried a lot, Hu Xiaomeng saw Jiang Sheng standing behind the crowd with an expressionless face, a little choked, and said: "How can a good person say that it is gone." ”

In front of the mound where the monkey was buried, Master Guan asked, "In charge, Kong Xiaoer has not yet completed his studies, can you be removed from the disciple book?" ”

Master Long said, "Keep it, it's considered that Xi'er and Liyuan owe him." ”

Jiang Sheng said: "His surname is Meng. ”

"Shhh, junior brother, our opera team has committed a taboo in mentioning dreams, didn't I tell you?" Hu Xiaomeng said.

Jiang Sheng didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't pay attention to the faces of Master Long and Master Guan, he inserted the little sugar man of Sun Wukong in his hand in front of the leather monkey's mound, and said, "His surname is Meng, just like my surname is Chen." ”
