Losing a mother at a young age is something that no one can look back on. Whether I was young and ignorant, or when I grew up, I didn't want to talk about it with anyone, because when I talked about it, I felt very sad in my heart.

Hua Ergu is stubborn, but she is definitely not the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person, after her father said this, although she did not turn around, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

At that time, my father looked at Aunt Hua and still didn't seem to be relieved, and probably felt that he was indeed a little abrupt, and he didn't contact him for so long. So, after my father said this, he didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Hua Ergu paused, hurriedly chased out, and pulled her father back. She was still not angry, but asked her father if there was anything that could not be solved.

My father had nothing to hide from Aunt Hua, so he told Aunt Hua that there was a monkey entangled in him, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Hua Ergu looked at her father seriously, and sure enough, she felt that there might be nothing wrong with her father on the surface, and no one could see anything abnormal, but he had no energy. In the words of traditional Chinese medicine, Yang Qi is too weak.

The father said that the situation was not very good during this time, especially at night when it was time to sleep, and a monkey often appeared. Even the father himself could not tell whether the monkey had appeared in a dream or whether it was actually crouching beside his bed in the darkness of the night. Anyway, this situation lasted for a while, and my father was very tired, and he felt that if it continued to develop, he would collapse.

Hua Ergu knows that there will be no such thing as something for no reason, even if there is something to look for, there must be a reason to find something, as well as a time and place. She asked her father if there was a trigger for this.

My father hesitated for a moment, probably not wanting to say anything. But he has been dealing with Hua Ergu for so long, he knows that if he doesn't tell the truth, he won't be able to solve the problem, and if he lies, he will mislead Hua Ergu and make the situation even more serious.

Therefore, he hesitated to tell Hua Ergu that he had killed a monkey.

After figuring out the trigger, Hua Ergu asked where the killed monkey was and if it could be found. His father brought the monkey's corpse over, and Aunt Hua helped him take care of the matter.

"If Lian Du is still alive, he may not know how much he owes me a favor." Hua Ergu sighed, with a melancholy that the past could not be recalled.

"Second aunt, why do you say that?"

"Do you think that an ordinary monkey being killed by your father will bring such serious consequences?" Hua Ergu said: "I didn't let him take the monkey's corpse again, I was afraid that it would hurt him in the future." ”

"Monkey, how unusual can it be?" My heart began to turn over the river and the sea, monkey, and sure enough, it was a monkey again.

"That monkey is still here." Hua Ergu pointed to the small wooden box that she had just taken out and said, "If you want to see it, you can take a look." ”

"Can you just look at it?"

"It should be fine, I've been here for so many years, and it's been no problem."

Aunt Hua brought me a pair of pliers, this wooden box has no lock, and there is a nail in each of the four corners. The nails are very thin, black and black, and there is a circle of texture on it that I don't know if it is a talisman or a pattern. I lifted the four nails with pliers, and the lid of the wooden box opened.

Inside the box was a fluffy mass, and with a slight pull, it was clear that it was the carcass of a monkey that had almost dried up. As soon as the corpse was dehydrated, the size shrank a lot, but according to the current proportions, when this monkey was alive, it was very large, much larger than the average monkey.

I slowly turned the hard monkey carcass with the pliers in my hand, and after turning it over, my eyes froze.

Hua Ergu told me that after my father brought the corpse of the monkey at that time, because he wanted to break things, he directly put it in a box and put nails on it, and he had never opened it for so many years.

In other words, Hua Ergu has not touched the corpse of this monkey, what it looked like when it was brought here, and what it probably looks like now.

I saw the monkey's head, part of it was missing, the skull was missing.

At this time, I suddenly remembered a photo that someone had posted a long time ago. In some places, there is a habit of eating monkey brains, and it is a living monkey brain, which is very cruel, and ordinary people can't stand that kind of stimulation. The head of a living monkey is fixed to a table with a round hole, and the chef can knock the skull off completely with a small hammer according to where the skull bites.

The monkey in the wooden box may also have had its skull removed in this way.

What did my father do when he killed this monkey? There are many ways to kill a monkey, why do you want to use it this way?

He definitely won't eat live monkey brains, and there may be only one purpose for doing so.

He's going to get the monkey's brain out.

In my mind, a line gradually emerged, connecting some fragmentary threads. The head of the monkey excavated from our old grave is hollow, and the brain of the monkey killed by my father has been removed. When I was half-discussing and half-joking with Yuan Sihai before, I made some speculations, and we deduced whether there was a brain in the hollow bronze skull.

Thinking back today, this speculation suddenly seems less nonsense and ridiculous.

It can be said that because of what Aunt Hua said to me, the clues to the monkey's matter are relatively complete. The father killed a monkey and took out the monkey's brain, and at the same time, he already had a bronze statue of the monkey, which he may have found a way to cast, or it may have existed before.

He put the monkey's brain in the bronze statue, sealed it, and then buried the bronze statue in the old grave.

If I'm right, things should be like this, and there may be some details that can't be worked out, but it doesn't hurt.

What is the purpose of this?

The little monkey that my grandfather raised when he was alive was very clever, and after the little monkey died, my grandfather was sad for a long time. Grandpa held a funeral, my father carved a pine monkey to burn it for the burial, and secretly, he made a bronze statue of the monkey and buried it in the old grave.

At this time, the rumors that had been circulated by the old people in the old village in the mountains flashed in their minds unconsciously. More than one left-behind old man in an old village in the mountains said that sometimes when passing by the ridge of the ground where our old grave is located, it seems that he can hear the squeaking of monkeys in the grave.

What is this for? Is this to get a monkey underground to accompany my grandfather? Relieve my grandfather's boredom?

At this moment, what I care about is no longer the problem of this monkey, the key to the problem has pointed to the immortal bronze.

I believe that if there is no immortal bronze in the bronze statue of the monkey, then the bronze statue is also a very ordinary bronze statue, and there is no mystery at all.

However, with the addition of immortal bronze, the bronze statue is completely different.

Hua Ergu may not know these things, she just had the idea of getting rid of danger for her father at that time, and left the corpse of the monkey.

"Second aunt, what is so special about this monkey?" I watched for a while, and I felt that this monkey didn't see anything unusual except for its larger size.

Hua Ergu bent down, took the pliers in my hand, and lightly scratched the position of the monkey's corpse's leg. The monkey's carcass was completely dehydrated, and the bones were covered with a layer of skin, and in some places the skin had cracked, and through the cracks in the crust, I saw the monkey's bones.

At this moment, I immediately understood what Hua Ergu meant, this monkey really had something unusual.

On the bones of monkeys, there are circles of black textures, such textures are definitely not any bone diseases that monkeys have suffered from before their deaths, because the texture is evenly distributed and regular.

The whole leg bone is full of this orderly arrangement of black lines, such black lines cannot be painted, as if these black lines have been distributed on the monkey's leg bones since birth.

If this monkey had not died, no one would have imagined that it would have such a texture on its bones.

Hua Ergu said that not only this leg bone, but also the bones of the monkey's whole body have black lines. She also said that these textures look like a kind of law seal, but Hua Ergu has never seen such a law seal with her own eyes, and she is not completely sure.

At that time, when my father had just brought the corpse of the monkey to Aunt Hua, Aunt Hua could feel a murderous aura, faintly, and a deep resentment. According to Aunt Hua's intuition, she was not sure that she could settle this matter.

Hua Ergu knew very well that if she left the body of this monkey, then the person the monkey would target in the future would be her, not my father. This kind of troublesome thing is not done by ordinary people. If you help others, you will hang up on your side, it will not be worth it, and good people will not do this kind of good deed.

But Hua Ergu almost didn't hesitate, so she left the monkey's corpse, her thoughts were not complicated, because she could already see that in the past two years, my father had not had a good life. Hua Ergu is still soft-hearted, and the resentment in the past is now gone.

She didn't tell her father how serious the matter was, and how likely it would hurt her, so she just told him to leave the monkey's corpse and nothing else.

After leaving the monkey's corpse, Hua Ergu was worried for a while, but there were no accidents. Her life is still very normal, helping others to solve things, staying at home after finishing things, reading books, and burning incense.

I believe that not everyone can do this like Hua Ergu.

After this incident passed, Hua Ergu never mentioned it to her father again, she didn't dare to be careless, and she had to ensure that she would be completely okay before disposing of the monkey's corpse.
