"Ahem, that's not easy," said Shi Suo, "Dig up any new grave, and you can't find a body, just put it together." ”

"Isn't that a pit man?"

Hu Xuan said: "Anyone who hires people to drive the corpse home is a poor person who can't afford to hire a car or horse, and this kind of thing is generally not as carefully inspected as buying things, so it is quite easy to get through the tricks. ”

"You know so much." A-Ning looked at Hu Shu and said.

Looking around, the red sun was shining, there was no one in the mountains, and no one came on the road, the three of them decided to continue to follow the mountain road, A-Ning said: "Don't go too fast, catch up with that zombie, but what should I do?" ”

Hu Xuan smiled: "Now that you know what's going on, you're no longer afraid." ”

Along the way, A-Ning was still talking about the strange thing of "driving out corpses", saying: "It's too tricky, the main family is so deceiving, it's pitiful enough." ”

Shi Suo shook his head, "I see, I deserve it, it's obviously outrageous, but I just believe it, who is to blame for being cheated?" ”

"Alas," Hu Xuan couldn't help but sigh when he heard him say this, "Speaking of being cheated, we Chinese people, we can't finish talking, sometimes it's a very simple truth, and we don't think about it, let others be deceived and fooled with our eyes open." Let's take the Huangsha Club that the two of us encountered that time, as soon as the poor people were instigated by others, they believed in the nonsense of what gods blessed and invulnerability, how many people were ruined in the battle, and the dead and injured were actually worthless, completely worthless, this is the ignorance of our people, Lao Zhao is right, before the knowledge and morality of the people of the country did not wake up, a revolutionary party like Mr. Sun Yat-sen, wanted to save the country and the people, but it was also in vain. ”

The mountain road penetrates a forest, a tall elm locust cloud shirt, covering the sky, a cool below, the three of them walked for a long time, tired and hungry, Shi Suo proposed to rest and sharpen, so he found a big tree with a crown like an umbrella, sat on the ground under the tree, drank water and ate dry food, Shi Suo suddenly tilted his head, pricked up his ears, and said: "Listen, what sound?" ”

Listening carefully, there were bursts of "squeak" sounds, and A-Ning said, "Like a monkey." ”

Not long after, a sound of leaves turning, accompanied by the sound of "squeak", from far and near, soon came to the eyes, looked up, sure enough, a group of monkeys ran, stepping on the branches and jumping, sometimes like swinging, swinging far away, a small monkey in front, jumping between the branches, a group of monkeys behind seem to be chasing it, for a while the nearby woods, a noise.

The little monkey jumped off the tree and jumped past Hu Zhuo and the other three in a few steps, and A-Ning shouted, "It has a rope around its neck." ”

The little monkey ran a few steps, and the chasing monkeys also jumped off the ground, and Shi Suo was afraid that they would grab food, so he stood up and grinned to frighten the monkeys, and the monkeys stopped it, bypassed the three of them, and continued to chase the little monkey.

Hu Xuan said: "Wearing a rope ring, someone may have raised it, or escaped from the monkey trickster." ”

After resting for a while and continuing on the road, A-Ning said, "I hope that little monkey will not let that large group of monkeys catch up." Hu Xuan smiled: "You are too kind, and when you see the monkey being bullied, you also have compassion." The three of them went out of the woods, the mountains in front of them were high, the mountain road was bent and bent, the elephant zigzag circled forward, in the distance, the peaks towered, the green mountains were like green, a waterfall near the left, hanging on the cliff, A-Ning shouted happily: "It's beautiful, this scenery is just like in the painting." ”

A boulder on the side of the road, a little monkey squatting on it, A-Ning saw the rope loop around its neck at a glance, clapped his hands and smiled: "Sure enough, it's it, you see, that rope ring, the little monkey escaped." Before he finished speaking, the little monkey jumped off the boulder and ran away in a blink of an eye.

All the way forward, the mountain road is rugged, after more than ten miles of road, the sun has slipped westward, the three of them speed up their pace, suddenly a small gray figure on the side of the road flashed, A-Ning said: "Another monkey, but I don't know if it's the one." ”

As he spoke, a person appeared on the road ahead, the little monkey jumped twice, jumped onto the person's shoulder, looked at A-Ning with wide eyes, A-Ning shook his head and said, "This is not that." There is no rope loop around the neck, and it doesn't look like it. ”

The man in front of him was dressed in shabby clothes and carrying a tattered burden, and the little monkey squatted on his shoulder, which seemed to be very familiar. The man also walked forward along the road, smiled at the three of them, nodded, and A-Ning asked him, "Just now we saw a monkey with a rope loop around its neck, did you lose it?" ”

The man shook his head, "No, I'm just this one, our two masters are monkeys, and we haven't raised other monkeys." ”

Hearing him say that he and the monkey are "the two masters", the three of them felt ridiculous, and Shi Suo said: "Are you playing monkey?" Are you familiar with the roads here? How far is this road to the outside of the mountain? ”

"Where are you going?" The monkey trickster asked.

"Gujiazhuang, Ningshan County."

"It's not too far, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get there before dark, and the road in the mountains is like this. It just so happens that we are on the same path. I also go there, and I have to pass by Gujiazhuang. ”

The little monkey squatting on the shoulder of the monkey man was naughty by nature, jumping up and down, and couldn't stop making grimaces at Hu Shui Aning and others, making A-Ning giggle, and when he passed by a mountain spring, he also flew to the spring and hit a bag of water, which made A-Ning very surprised and couldn't help but praise.

The monkey man said: "People say that monkeys are smart, but in fact, different monkeys are not related, some are just naughty, and some are really smart, but as for the stupid, they are in the majority." ”

"By the way," Hu Xuan walked along, suddenly remembered something, and asked the monkey man, "Did you see a pair of corpse chasers just now?" It's a person who drives a zombie with a whip and also follows this road. ”

"No," the monkey man was stunned, "driving out corpses?" I was sleeping in the grass nest next to me, and as soon as I got on the road, you caught up, and I didn't see anything. ”

A-Ning hurriedly said, "What we saw with our own eyes was terrifying, so we walked forward along this road." ”

The monkey man looked forward for a while, the mountain road was tortuous, the grass and trees in front of him were luxuriant, and he couldn't even see a human figure, let alone a corpse chaser. But he still hesitated to stop and said, "Driving corpses is generally slow, I'd better rest, that kind of thing will be unlucky, you should go first in a hurry." ”

Hu Xuan saw the sweat on A-Ning's head, and said: "Then let's take a break, the so-called corpse, although you don't have to be afraid, it's better not to meet it." So the four of them found a huge cedar tree by the side of the road and sat down on the grass under the tree to rest. The little monkey couldn't stay idle, jumped on the boulder next to him, put his hand on the canopy, twisted his little head and looked around, A-Ning smiled: "It's so fun, live a Monkey King." ”

Sitting under the tree, the mountain wind blew, quite cool, the monkey man asked Hu Xuan: "How long has it been since this corpse chaser?" ”

Hu Xuan recalled for a moment and said: "We have met them for most of the day, and then we continued to walk along the mountain road to meet you. ”

Shi Suo interjected: "That Zhang Shenjian, after being scared away by zombies, ......" Before he finished speaking, the monkey man stood up with his eyes wide open, "Who?" Zhang Shenjian? Did you see that? Is he here? The face was very nervous, when I heard about the zombies just now, although I was surprised, I didn't hear about "Zhang Shenjian" this time.

Looking at the nervous appearance of the monkey man, Hu Xuan was also puzzled, and briefly told him what he had just encountered. The monkey man's face was slightly relaxed, and he nodded and said, "That's good, Zhang Shenjian was scared by zombies, and it is estimated that he will not go this way again." ”

"Is this Zhang Shenjian terrifying?" Ah Ning looked at the monkey man's face and asked, "People like you who go to the rivers and lakes, go south and north, I heard that they are very capable, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”

The monkey man shook his head, "People like us who go to the rivers and lakes, if you want to talk about your skills, they are different, as for those who can embroider their legs or something, it is also ordinary, there is usually a thief or something, but I am not afraid, but who is Zhang Shenjian?" Have you ever heard of the 'Four Wonders of the Rivers and Lakes'? ”

"Nope." Shi Suo became interested, walked up to the monkey tricker, sat down on a lying cow stone, the little monkey was a little familiar with him, jumped to his side, Shi Suo stroked the monkey's head, and said to the monkey man, "You tell us about it." ”

"Okay," the monkey man seemed to be a bold man, "I'll set up a dragon gate formation today, and if you meet these people, you should be careful." Just mentioned this Zhang Shenjian, is one of the four wonders of the rivers and lakes, according to the ranking, he ranks third, this person has the worst reputation, the worst character, relying on a body of martial arts, stealing and robbing, doing all kinds of evil, neither reasonable, nor credit, both robbing rich businessmen and travelers, and robbing the poor people, and often black and black, with milk is a mother. ”

Shi Suo frowned and said, "This kind of person, why is there no one except him?" ”

Monkey tricker: "He is strong in martial arts and shrewd, how can he be so easy to get rid of?" He had an iron-tired bow, shot every shot, and used a hidden weapon with a hidden arrow, and often the enemy could not reach him, so he shot him. ”

"But just now he fought with the four ghosts of Shennong, and he didn't shoot arrows, only used sleeve arrows."

The monkey man said: "A thief like the four ghosts of Shennong is not worth his fight, by the way, speaking of this four ghosts of Shennong, they are not good people, the four of them are all in Shennongjia Mountain, in recent years, they have robbed houses and houses, and have done a lot of business without capital, but people like them have no great ability, and they have no hard backing, they only know that if they close their eyes and steal chickens and dogs, sooner or later they will be destroyed." ”

"That's right," Hu Shuan stood up, took out dry food from his backpack, and distributed it to Shi Suo and A-Ning, and gave one to the monkey trickster and one to the little monkey, and the monkey trickster nodded in thanks, and everyone was feeling hungry, so they ate the mountain spring water one after another. The little monkey squeaked twice, and A-Ning smiled: "He thanked you." ”
