The tiger was gone, but everyone did not dare to relax their vigilance, the tiger was not only fierce, but also sometimes very cunning, and after waiting for a long time, the mountain people carefully said: "The big worm should be gone." ”

Wen Ping nodded, looked at Liu Yi and said, "Sir, it's not safe in this mountain, I'll go back to the camp later." ”

Liu Yi nodded, You Emei was also on a whim, but the mountains and forests in this era are obviously not the same thing as the protected areas of the previous life, there is no need to be so tired that a few soldiers were killed and injured for the sake of his temporary pleasure, so he agreed immediately and prepared to go back.

"What's that?" Liu Yi suddenly felt something move in the corner of his eye, and turned his head to look at it suspiciously, but saw that there was something moving next to the monkey corpse that had been bitten by a tiger before.

Curious, Liu Yi asked Wen Ping to wait first, wanting to go over and have a look.

Anyway, there should be no danger in this vicinity for the time being, and Wen Ping didn't stop it, just guarded Liu Yi and followed Liu Yi over.

Under the high tree trunk, the blood of the headless monkey corpse was still flowing out of the cavity, but there was a small monkey beside it, with a small body, but it was pushing the monkey corpse hard, and the mouth let out a wail from time to time.

Liu Yi has been in this era for seven or eight years, and he is used to seeing battles and tragedies in the world, and he has long lost much sympathy, but when he sees this scene at this moment, he can't help but feel a little more pity.

Wen Ping sighed: "This monkey is pitiful. ”

"Hey~" The mountain people on the side said with a smile: "The general doesn't know, when the big worm didn't come before, the monkeys in the mountains became a disaster, I waited for the mountain people to go hunting, sometimes I would rather meet jackals, than meet these monkeys, they are in groups, they like to play tricks the most, there are more than a dozen people in a group, there are dozens of hundreds, I am not afraid to see the living people coming, and even like to plunder the things on my body, many hunters were taken by them bows and arrows, if someone shoots, they will chase and kill in groups, all the way to Zhuangzi." ”

"It's so powerful, a big worm can scare them away?" Wen Ping didn't believe it, there are so many monkeys, and they are used to attacking in groups, no matter how powerful a tiger is, it won't scare the monkeys on the entire mountain away, right?

"That big insect is not an ordinary big worm, I don't know where it came from, it likes to eat monkey heads, it is extremely fierce, this group of splashing monkeys is like me and other baring teeth, I really met such a mountain and forest overlord, people roared, and they were scared all over the mountain." The mountain people said disdainfully.

"Squeak ~ squeak ~ " The little monkey looked at these people around with some fear, wanting to escape, but he seemed to be reluctant to let his mother go, dragging his mother's hand, while baring his teeth at everyone, the little appearance was quite cute, but it made people a little unable to laugh.

"If you meet, it's fate, so let's help your mother settle down." Liu Yi looked at the little monkey, sighed, looked around, asked people to cut down a tree, took the knife from the soldier's hand, cut the tree into a section, and cut it into the shape of a coffin, making the coffin lid.

Wen Ping smiled: "Sir, it's just a splash of monkeys, why be so serious." ”

"All things have spirits, and when I met it, I saw that this monkey was pitiful, and I felt compassion, so I helped its mother to settle in the earth." Liu Yi has heard that monkey brains are rare delicacies, and the tiger should have tasted the sweetness, so he feeds on monkey brains, there is no need to blame anything, the law of nature is like this, the weak eat the strong, there is no reason to talk about it, but he looked at the appearance of the little monkey, and his heart was not happy, so he made the coffin.

The clever mountain people had already dug a pit at this time, Liu Yi thanked him with a smile, and dragged the coffin to the monkey corpse.

"Squeak~" Seeing that Liu Yi was about to hug his mother, the little monkey was anxious, lying in his mother's arms, and kept baring his teeth at Liu Yi.

"It's dead!" Liu Yi stretched out his hand and pushed aside the little monkey, the little monkey was estimated to have just been weaned, how could he resist, he was pushed away by Liu Yi, and saw Liu Yi hugging his mother, and frantically pounced on Liu Yi's side, biting Liu Yi's trouser leg and wanting to climb up.

"Choking~" The mountain man pulled out his waist knife and looked at the little monkey fiercely.

Animals are generally more afraid of this kind of metallic sound, and the little monkey was so frightened that he stepped aside, but he refused to leave, watching Liu Yi put his mother in the coffin, and screamed anxiously.

Liu Yi asked people to put the hastily made coffin into the pit dug by the mountain people, and began to fill the soil, the little monkey screamed and rushed into the pit, holding the coffin and looking at the people around him with a fierce face.

Liu Yi sighed, leaned over and picked up the little monkey: "Don't make trouble, it's already dead." ”

It's strange to say, the little monkey who was still noisy before, but when he got into Liu Yi's arms, he quieted down, which surprised the mountain people, but Liu Yi knew that various attribute pendants on his body played a role, many of which were things that could make people feel at peace and make others feel good.

Inserted a wordless tombstone on the earthen bag, Liu Yi touched the little monkey's head and put it on the ground, the coffin has the attributes of the descendants of the blessed shade, although it is not much, but it should be able to give the little monkey some protection, as for the future, it depends on its own ability.

"Let's go." Liu Yi got up and smiled at Wen Ping: "It's been a lot of delay, General Zhongye is not to blame." ”

"This is the benevolence of Mr., how dare you blame him?" Wen Ping shook his head and smiled.

Benevolence?

Liu Yi sighed when he heard this, although he had no intention of participating in the troubled times, but since he joined Liu Bei's command, over the years, there have been many people who have died because of himself, if he talks about benevolence, he is not qualified to say it, but he suddenly moved his compassion.

"Huh?" Liu Yi took two steps, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked down, he saw the little monkey lying at his feet, holding his legs, and looking at himself with blank eyes.

"What does that mean?" Liu Yi was a little stunned, this monkey wouldn't be relying on himself, right?

Pulling it off a few times, but sticking it up again, Wen Ping smiled and said, "Sir, it seems that this monkey is entangled with you." ”

"The little guy is quite spiritual." Liu Yi leaned over and picked up the little guy.

"Sir, this little thing is not easy to feed!" The mountaineers on the side reminded.

"Oh?" Liu Yi also had little experience in raising monkeys, so he looked at the mountain people and said, "It's very picky about eating?" ”

"That's not it, what people eat, this little thing eats, it's just that this little thing has a changeable temperament and is very irritable, unless it is specially domesticated, it is difficult for ordinary people to tame." The mountain man shook his head.

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Yi held the little monkey in his arms, looked at it and said, "Do you really want to go with me?" ”

"Squeak~" The little monkey naturally didn't know what Liu Yi said, but was a little cheerful.

"Well, in the future, I will call you ......" Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's call you Wukong." ”

Liu Yi thought about whether to raise a pig in the future and ask Wu to be his companion?

"Squeak~"

Liu Yi hugged for a while, and found that the monkey was very well-behaved, so he simply put it on his shoulder and let it lie on his shoulder to continue walking.

After going down the mountain, Liu Yi asked people to give the mountain people more money, and then followed Wen Ping back to the barracks.

In the next few days, Wen Ping continued to direct people to carry the baggage on the ship, and Liu Yi now had nothing to do, but with a little monkey by his side, he didn't feel bored.

On Liu Yi's mother-in-law boat, Liu Yi silently carved a monkey statue, Wukong looked curiously at the wood carving that was gradually carved out by Liu Yi, as if he thought he had met the same kind, and poked with his claws from time to time, and was swept away by Liu Yi's gaze, and retracted his little paws, but after a while, he stretched out his little paws again.

After five days of such leisure, Wen Ping came to see Liu Yi: "Sir, the heavy grain and grass have been loaded onto the ship, can I go?" ”

Liu Yi looked at Wen Ping and said with a smile: "The military is the master of the navy, so there is no need to ask me about such things." ”

I just came to take a boat with a tailwind, there is no need and no qualification to command the fleet, Wen Ping came to ask for advice, and he just expressed his respect for Liu Yi, if he really thinks he is running to point fingers, then he has a hole in his brain.

"And so he went." Wen Ping smiled.

These days get along, for Liu Yi, the sense of literary employment is good, although the official rank is high, and the reputation under Liu Bei is not small, but there is not too much high-spirited posture, quite easy to get along with, after a few days, the two sides get along a lot more casually, and occasionally make some harmless jokes.

The fleet departed from the Minjiang River, and it took three days to join the Yangtze River, and according to Wen Ping, as long as it entered the Yangtze River and went down the river, it would be possible to reach the generals in two days at most without the help of the wind.

Liu Yi remembered an ancient poem, but after thinking about it, it still hasn't been published, this kind of thing is still rotten in the stomach, he is not suitable for taking the poet's route, he always pretends to be like this, and one day he will not be able to control the scene.

Moreover, with his current reputation and status, there is no need to rely on plagiarism to attract people's attention.

It seemed to feel that it was gradually leaving its hometown, or maybe it was seasickness, Wukong's mood became low, even if Liu Yi teased it, it didn't have much energy.

Three days later, as Wen Ping said, after the fleet entered the main stream of the Yangtze River, the speed suddenly accelerated a lot, the scenery on both sides of the strait retreated rapidly, just one day, it passed Yiling, the afterglow of the sunset fell on the river, Liu Yi sat at the head of the bed, Wukong lay on Liu Yi's lap, a person and a monkey just quietly looked at the river under the sunset.

After being away from home for three years, and now seeing this beautiful scenery again, but there is only one monkey by his side, Liu Yi has an urgent urge to go home to see his wife at this moment, but somehow, he has an indescribable complex feeling for no reason.

"This is homesickness! Isn't it, Goku? ”

"Squeak~"
