The monkey clung to the trunk.

"Search carefully!"

"Huh!" A flash of silver flashed before his eyes at breakneck speed.

He didn't dare to open his eyes, but he could feel a cold wind blowing across his face.

The skin of the face was blown cold, but soon a hot stinging sensation was born.

He secretly opened his eyes, and a warm current flowed through his cheeks and onto his chest.

He remained motionless.

Wait until a voice comes from under your feet, "Let's go." ”

The sound of rustling faded away, and the dense woods became dead silent. Even the cicadas, who are not afraid of the earth on weekdays, finally shut up at this time.

He remained motionless.

An hour ago, my father had gone out foraging, and he was still asleep on a tree, while his younger brother was obediently squatting aside, and his mother was squatting behind him, helping him to catch lice carefully.

And then the humans came.

They threw a spear at the monkey, which was stuck deep in the branch next to the monkey's head.

The mother screamed at once.

The monkey woke up from his sleep, and before he knew what had happened, he saw his mother jumping to another tree, and the next tree, with his brother in his arms, until he was far away......

In a trance, he heard a voice under the tree.

"The monkey ran away!"

"Hurry up and chase it!"

"Search carefully! Let's see if there's anything else here. ”

He got up and slammed into the spear, and he looked up...... He suddenly realized what had happened.

So he hurriedly retreated briskly towards the canopy, hiding himself in the dense canopy.

He clung to the branches, clinging to them like a lump of stumps growing with a big tree......

Until the cicadas in the woods sounded again: "Humans are gone!" Humanity is gone! ”

The monkey slowed down for a long time before he came to his senses.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

There was some pain on his face, it seemed that half of his face was numb, and when he made a slight expression, it hurt him so much that he grinned, and then it hurt even more.

He looked down and saw that the dark blonde hair on his chest was soaked with blood.

Reaching out again and wiping it on his face, sure enough, half of his face was stained with blood, and his hands were half red.

But......

He looked up in the direction his mother and brother had gone......

He thought, "I've been left behind. ”

So he didn't bother to clean the wound, and hurriedly chased in that direction.

He jumped from one tree to another.

It didn't take long for sweat to come out, flow to the wound, mix with blood, and bite the wound so painfully.

So he stopped, turned and went to the river, and cleaned up the wound.

The river was always flowing, and the surface of the river was uneven, reflecting his crooked face, and he grinned in pain, which looked a little hideous.

A monkey with dark blond hair was reflected in the water, with a thin stature and a panicked look.

There was a two-inch-long wound that was diagonally drawn on his face.

As soon as the blood stain was washed away with water, another blood stain soon spread down and reached the corner of his mouth.

He stuck out his tongue and licked it.

I can't tell what it tastes like.

But the wound on his face didn't hurt so much.

He looked up again, and the stream ran through the wide, flat meadows and into the distance.

Farther away, the woods, from where he came out. There are towering trees that shade the sky and the sun, so even in the hottest summer, it's very cool inside.

He looked at the woods, and suddenly forgot which direction his mother was running.

And even if she remembers, who knows if she changed direction halfway?

The woods extend in all directions, and every row of trees is a path.

And the forest was so big that he used to run around it, and to this day, he had never stepped out of it.

So where will the mother go?

After thinking about it, the monkey decided to go back the way he came. When his mother found out that she hadn't followed, she would naturally come back to him.

And the father, when the father finds food, he will definitely come home.

I just need to stay at home.

Save them from not being able to find themselves when they come back.

He also picked two apples along the way, nibbling on them as he walked.

When he returned home, neither of his parents had returned.

So he decided to get some sleep first: "Damn humans! Disturbing my sweet dream, just now I was dreaming of eating the fairy peaches......"

He lay down among the branches, threw his head back, and fell asleep......

My father and mother finally came back, my brother also came back, and my father brought back a lot of delicious food, enough for their family to eat for half a year! He was lying on the tree, and his younger brother was also lying on the tree, and his father helped him catch lice, and his mother helped his younger brother catch lice.

It's just that there is always a branch under my face, and I can't get it off, which is very uncomfortable......

"Boom!"

A thunderclap.

It was as if some god had taken a great axe and given it to the sky, leaving a trail of tears in the sky, though it was fleeting.

A drop of cold fell on his nose.

He opened his eyes.

It was late at night and it was raining lightly.

Looking around, there was still nothing, only himself still lying among the branches.

"Why hasn't Daddy come back yet?"

He shrunk inside, and the dense foliage above his head was just right to keep him out of the rain.

So he curled up in a ball and crouched on the branches, motionless.

The sound of the rain drowned out everything.

It's quiet in the woods.

Raindrops broke through the obstacles and slid down from the leaves, dripping right above his head.

So he shuddered slightly.

But they didn't dodge.

Another drop.

Another shudder.

It rained all night, and he squatted all night, trembling all night.

After the sun rises, the rain gradually stops.

His eyes were bloodshot, but he was still blankly open.

If my parents were going to come back, they should have come back last night, but they didn't.

He probably already knew: his mother and her brother had fled a short distance before they were overtaken by the humans, perhaps caught, perhaps pierced by a spear......

Father, on the way home, was poisoned by the group of humans one step earlier......

Anyway, they're all dead, or why haven't they come back?

"They're gone......" he thought.

"So what should I do?"

He asked the animals in the forest, "Where else in the world are there woods and monkeys, but there are no humans?" ”

The animals replied, "Demon Realm! There's everything in the demon world! There are just no humans! ”

The monkey nodded: "That's exactly where I want to go." ”

They said, "Of course the demon world is good, and the animals want to go!" But it's not easy to get there! ”

The monkey asked, "Why is it not easy?" ”

"The demon world is far away from here, and there are countless hardships and dangers along the way, and you even have to pass through the human world!"

"Passing through the world?" There is no need for other obstacles, and this alone is already a barrier that most animals dare not try.

The monkey frowned: "After passing through the world...... But I don't want to go to the human ......."

Humans are terrible!

The monkey shuddered at the thought of the spear that had almost pierced his head yesterday.

"Demon Realm? Sounds good! Once successful! We don't have to worry about humans anymore! A pig snorted.

The monkey looked at him: "But that road has to pass through the world!" ”

"That was the last time we saw a human! I decided to go to the Demon Realm, little monkey, do you want to come along? ”

Pig smiled and narrowed his eyes.

The monkey thought for a moment: "Go ahead, stay here anyway, sooner or later you will have to face humans." ”

The pig turned his head around: "We're going to the demon world!" Who would dare to go with us? ”

"Demon Realm? Forget it, life here is not bad, as long as humans are careful when they come......"

"The Demon Realm sounds good! But it's too far, and you have to pass through the world, if you die on the way, wouldn't it be a big loss? ”

"Actually, there's nothing good about the demon world! I'm not going. ”

There are also animals that say, "I'll go!" I'm tired of being in the forest, and I want to go out and have fun! ”

In the end, more than a dozen animals, including monkeys and pigs, embarked on the road to the demon world.

The members of this team are pigs, monkeys, pheasants, sika deer, snakes, tigers......

They went on their way with confidence.

The monkey said, "When we get to the demon realm, we won't have to worry about humans hunting us anymore......"

The pig said, "We are still at the beginning, why are we starting to imagine the end?" ”

An animal said, "Is the demon world really so good?" The animals in the forest who say that the demon world is good have never been to the demon world at all, and they have not watched it in person. ”

"I've heard that the demon world is the world of monsters! We little animals who have not become demons, when we reach the demon world, we will be bullied by those monsters and can't raise our heads. ”

The other critters frowned: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"It's still the animals in the forest!"

"None of them have been to the Demon Realm, how can they know?"

"What if it's true? I think there's a good chance it's true! Listen, the name of the demon world is the demon world! The monster's demon, the world's realm, that means, it's the monster's world! Naturally, youkai are more noble than animals! ”

"Huh? So why are you still going? ”

"If I don't go, how do I know if the news is true or false? Besides, even though I'm just a small animal now, I'm going to be a big monster in the future! I belong to the demon world! I'm confident! ”

"Hahaha! Pig, how dare you brag! Do you know how long it takes to become a youkai? ”

"How much?"

"You have to practice hard for about a hundred years! During this period, you are not allowed to eat or talk much......"

Pig smiled: "That's not very difficult. ”
