Chapter 39: Heart-to-Heart

The next afternoon, the blue sky was like satin, and the white clouds were like snow. The god Apollo, who sprinkled his warm sunlight on the stone mountain.

Liang Shirong said to Liang Jianxing: "Yaxing, the weather is good today, I will go up the mountain to collect medicine, you can rest here first." ”

Liang Jianxing asked, "Master, where are you going to collect medicine?" ”

"Stone Mountain is a big medicine storehouse, and there must be mountain herbs that can cure Xiaolan's mother's skin disease." Liang Shirong said, went to the corner of the house and picked up a bamboo basket, picked up a small hoe and sickle, and was about to go out.

Liang Yun chased forward: "Uncle Rong, I'll go with you." ”

"No need," Liang Shirong waved his hand, "It's more convenient to go up the mountain to collect medicine, climb the rock and go down the gully." Besides, you don't know which herbs I'm going to pick. You get busy with your family work first. Come with me another day. ”

"This ......," Liang Yun scratched his head and said, "I'll listen to you today, don't forget to take me next time!" ”

Liang Shirong went out with a bamboo basket on his back, heading towards the mountain, along the road beautiful trees like forests, mountain flowers like the sea, and flowing water.

Liang Shirong walked, walked, and heard bursts of wailing in a hazelnut grove not far from Mawangzhai.

"Hey, what's that call?" Liang Shirong walked in the direction of the cry and came to the depths of the hazel forest.

Sunlight shines through the dense canopy, casting swaying spots of light onto the ground. Under a large hazel tree with pimpled bark, two monkeys with brown fur put their long hands into the small wooden box and shouted "whoa, whoa."

When the two monkeys saw Liang Shirong holding a small hoe in his hand and carrying a bamboo basket on his back, they thought he was a hunter who had come to catch them, and they screamed in panic, trying to struggle to escape but couldn't pull their hands out of the wooden box. On the light red face, the pair of round eyes were full of tears, looking at Liang Shirong, as if pleading.

"What's going on?" Liang Shirong came to the big hazel tree not far from the monkey, stopped and observed carefully for a while, and then realized: "These two monkeys were caught by the trap laid by the hunter. ”

It turned out that there were many monkeys in the dense forest of Stone Mountain, and the hunters in the mountain knew that monkeys love to steal fruits, so they dug a small hole in a small wooden box, and the size of the hole was just enough for the monkey's hand to reach into. Inside the wooden crate are the monkeys' favorite fruits. The greedy monkey smells Traine, and when he comes to the wooden box, when he finds fruit in the small hole, he will reach into the hole and steal it. It's easy for their empty hands to go straight into the hole, but the hand holding the fruit has taken the shape of a fist, and it's hard to retract it again. Monkeys are smart for a lifetime, but they are also ignorant in the face of greed. They don't want to let go of the fruit in their hands, so the harder they pull out, the tighter the hole gets into their hands and they can't break free. Mountain hunters often set up such traps to catch monkeys.

After Liang Shirong observed this method of "catching monkeys", his compassion suddenly rose, and when he saw the frightened state of the two monkeys who were trapped in the trap and couldn't extricate themselves, he stepped forward gently, showed a smiling face, made gestures, and calmly said to the monkeys: "Don't panic, I won't harm you." ”

Although the two monkeys couldn't understand what people said, they were very intelligent creatures, and from Liang Shirong's friendly expression, they knew that this person was not malicious, and their hands were stuck in the wooden box and couldn't pull them out, so they couldn't pull out their legs and escape, so they had to let it go.

Liang Shirong pinched his chin and stared intently at the small wooden box and the trapped monkey, how could he rescue them? Suddenly, I had an idea in my heart, took a small hoe, and slammed it towards the top of the small wooden box, and with a "pop", the small wooden box was smashed open. Seeing that the monkey's hand was still greedily clutching a banana, he smiled and said, "You glutton, no wonder you are doing it to yourself." Then he pulled the monkey's hand holding the banana away, and then slowly dragged its hand out of the hole.

Repeatedly, Liang Shirong smashed two small wooden boxes and rescued the two monkeys.

Liang Shirong stretched out his hand and pointed to the depths of the dense forest, and said to the two monkeys: "You guys, you are victimized by greed, you should pay attention in the future!" Let's go. ”

Strange to say, the two monkeys did not leave immediately, but stepped forward and pulled Liang Shirong's trousers in a friendly manner, and this time the "whoop, whoop" cry was no longer frightened, but expressed their joy and gratitude.

Liang Shirong squatted down, gently stroked their fur, and read the information that they wanted to make friends with him from the monkey's eyes, so he said kindly: "You two, I'll give you a name, your name is Yazuo, your name is Yayou, okay?" ”

The two monkeys seemed to understand Liang Shirong's words and nodded.

Liang Shirong Yang pointed in the direction of Mawangzhai and said, "Let's go, I'll live there, and you will come to play with me when you have time in the future." ”

"Whoa, whoa!" The two monkeys understood Liang Shirong's meaning, shouted happily, and fought a few somersaults, then waved their hands at Liang Shirong, turned around, jumped, and fled towards the depths of the dense forest.

Liang Shirong looked at the small wooden box smashed by him, smiled, took a small hoe, picked up the bamboo basket, and went up the mountain.

Liang Shirong drilled into the bushes, went down the deep stream, went up the hillside, entered the grass, climbed high and low, sweated on his back, and his cheeks and hands were scarred by thorns.

From noon to dusk, Liang Shirong's legs were almost broken.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the forest golden.

The crimson sunset spreads all over the sky. The homing finch swirls around the tree.

Liang Shirong returned to Mawangzhai with a basket full of mountain herbs and stepped into the gate of the courtyard.

Liang Er was repairing the rotten wooden box, turned his head when he heard the sound, and complained: "Yarong, you returned with a full load today, and I am miserable." ”

Liang Shirong didn't know why: "What's so miserable?" ”

Liang Er was angry, pointed to the rotten wooden box and said, "The wooden box I placed on the other side of the hazel forest to catch monkeys has been smashed. Hmph, if I knew who was doing the sabotage, I would break his foot bones. ”

Seeing that Liang Er was angry, Liang Shirong laughed and stretched out his right foot: "Second brother, you can break my foot bones first." ”

Liang Er was stunned, pondering, and pointed at Liang Shirong: "Ah, you are the one who smashed the wooden box?!" ”

"Hmm," Liang Shirong nodded.

Liang Er: "Ahem, my wooden box is used to catch monkeys, why did you smash it?" ”

Liang Shirong said frankly: "When I went up the mountain, I saw two monkeys in the hazel forest reaching into the wooden box you had installed, but they would not pull out their hands, and they screamed miserably, which was so pitiful. I had to smash the crates and let them go. ”

"I see." Liang Shirong in front of him is his life-saving benefactor, what are those two wooden boxes in comparison? How could Liang Er blame him at this time?!

At this time, two figures jumped in like a whirlwind outside.

It was the two monkeys who came in, they picked a few ripe wild fruits in the mountains, they were reluctant to eat, looking for the figure of their benefactor Liang Shirong everywhere, came to Mawangzhai, wandered for a long time, and saw Liang Shirong come back from collecting medicine and entered the yard. They waited outside the courtyard for a long time, and when they didn't see Liang Shirong come back, they couldn't help but run in.

Liang Shirong put down the bamboo back basket, squatted down and stroked them gently: "Ya Zuo, Ya Right, how are you all?" ”

"Whoa, whoa!" The two monkeys screamed and nodded, and each reached out to hand a ripe fuchsia wild fruit to Huineng.

Liang Shirong took the wild fruit, handed it to his nose, smelled it, a burst of natural aroma rushed in, took a bite of the wild fruit, a stream of sweet juice flowed down from the mouth, the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, sweet and refreshing, and praised: "Yo, so fragrant, so sweet!" ”

Liang Er pointed to the two monkeys and asked Liang Shirong, "Are they the monkeys you rescued by smashing my wooden box?" ”

"Yes." Liang Shirong nodded, "Kindness can resolve everything." You see, although they don't understand human language, they know how to repay the favor! ”

Liang Jianxing: "The spirituality of monkeys is very high. ”

Liang Er: "Yo, you still named them?" ”

Liang Shirong introduced seriously: "Yes! This big one is called Yazuo, and this smaller one is called Yaright. ”

Liang Xiaolan laughed: "Uncle Yarong, the names you gave them are both strange and distinctive. ”

Liang Yun covered his stomach with a smile: "There are left and right, this name is easy to remember." Good, good! ”

"As long as you are friendly to them, this spiritual animal will be friendly to you too." Liang Shirong handed another wild fruit to Liang Er and said jokingly, "Come, Brother Ya, eat this sweet wild fruit to dissipate your anger." They're making amends for your rotten wooden crates. ”

Liang Er took the wild fruit, took a bite, and quipped: "This wild fruit is really sweet, but this is the price of my two wooden boxes." ”

Liang Xiaolan smiled: "Daddy, Uncle Yarong smashed my family's two wooden boxes, but let us have two more friends in the mountains." Worth! Worth! ”

Liang Yun took over the topic and said: "Uncle Rong came up to the mountain this time to save both you and these monkeys, as if he was a Bodhisattva who came down to save the world." ”

"How can I be qualified to be a savior bodhisattva," Liang Shirong waved his hand, "As long as we have a good heart, we can communicate with the living beings in the world." ”

Liang Xiaolan saw the scene in front of her and was convinced: "Uncle Rong is reasonable. ”

Liang Jianxing chimed in: "My master has always been so kind-hearted. ”

Seeing these two monkeys so funny and obedient, Liang Er blushed, touched his head and laughed.

The sunset on the western mountain gradually turned dark red, and the sunset sank down the mountain, and the twilight was dark all around.

Liang Shirong waved his hand towards the two monkeys: "It's getting dark, go back." ”

Seeing that everyone had no ill will towards them, the two monkeys happily turned three somersaults in a row in front of them before leaving.
