Chapter 42: The Monkey Man Strikes
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day when dawn broke, I ran impatiently to the black house where my grandmother was.
As I walked, I muttered in my heart: Grandma said that you can't get close to this house before dawn, but now that it's after dawn, there shouldn't be any danger!
As soon as I walked to the door, a very low and hoarse voice came from the room: "Xiao Zhen is here?" Let's get inside! β
I could hear that it was my grandmother's voice, but it was more hoarse than before, and I could hear that I was tired!
"Grandma, you're ...... this night"
I wanted to ask her if she hadn't slept all night, but as soon as I entered the door, I saw my grandmother reclining on a black chair, and she was crawling with insects of all shapes. I rub! After scolding secretly, I wanted to rush up to help my grandmother drive away the insects on her body.
"Don't move! We're communicating! β
As soon as she finished speaking, all the insects crawled down like a tide as if they had received an order, and returned to their dustpans.
Although it was a false alarm, I didn't dare to sit close to my grandmother, but stood aside very cautiously.
"Look at your worthless appearance!" Grandma laughed a few times and teased me: "You have a spirit snake in your body!" It's the king of all Gu worms, and these Gu worms have drunk your blood and will listen to you. β
I nodded, indicating that I understood what my grandmother said, but I still couldn't get over the hurdles in my heart.
"Grandma, this Gu worm has been cultivated, what are we going to do next!"
I hurriedly changed the subject, lest my grandmother let me have close contact with the Gu worm again.
"There should be a fierce battle at noon today, everyone in the stockade must be prepared to face it, you should go too!"
Grandma said sharply.
"Who are you fighting against?"
"Monkey Man! A bunch of very ferocious and cunning monkeys! β
As soon as grandma said this, I remembered Xiaoqing's words before.
I helped my grandmother out of the house, and there were already three or five middle-aged and elderly women standing outside the door, apparently waiting for my grandmother to eat.
Seeing us come out, several people respectfully folded their hands to their chests, saluted, and then hugged me and my grandmother to the hall.
"Grandma! It's a democratic society now, and we all pay attention to human rights and freedoms, so can't we also change these customs in the village? β
I asked my grandmother in a whisper.
"Oh? What customs are you talking about? β
Grandma glanced at me and asked rhetorically.
"Let's talk about the relationship between this person and people, at least...... At least not so much courtesy and greetings! It's too much trouble! β
I wanted to say that people should get along with each other as equals, but when I thought that this was an isolated Miao village, I was afraid that it would be a little bit too big, so I changed my words.
Grandma laughed dryly a few times and whispered back: "I understand what you mean, are you really old and confused?" In fact, we go to the villages and towns outside the mountains every year to do good deeds, so we naturally know what the world is outside, and we often send people outside to buy daily necessities. β
"That'...... So why is it still ...... here?"
Before I could finish my sentence, I was interrupted by my grandmother.
"I have long thought about giving this opportunity to buy people's hearts to a new generation of mothers-Ao! Now I say that it should be given to the new generation of village owners, that is, you! β
I suddenly realized, and at the same time, I was even more impressed by the thin old lady in front of me.
Grandma asked me to announce my idea to everyone before dinner, and as long as I announced it, everyone would obey it.
I organized my language in my mind, and when I saw that the people were almost there, I cleared my throat and pretended to shout, "Everyone...... Brothers and sisters, we are all mothers and mothers (I wanted to say that mothers are fathers, but when the words come to my lips, I feel that it is wrong to say this), there is no distinction between high and low, noble and low......"
At the end of the day, I saw everyone staring at me with incomprehensible eyes.
Grandma saw that I was not good at playing a round game, so she stood up and said in a low and majestic voice: "In the future, everyone will listen to the owner of the village, even if it is to me and the owner of the village, don't do cumbersome etiquette, treat me as an ordinary old man, and treat the owner of the village as a little brother!" β
I didn't expect my grandmother to be so open-minded, and I really admire it in my heart!
As soon as Grandma finished speaking, I saw a trace of excitement flashing in the eyes of Xiaoqing and Xiaobi, and then the eyes of others also lit up.
After eating, grandma called a few middle-aged women over and whispered a few words.
Although her voice was very small, I still heard it, and it turned out that she was telling the Kosuke guards to be vigilant, and the monkey people would come back to plunder this afternoon.
Grandma asked Xiaobi to take me to Langfang, saying that she wanted to change into a battle uniform.
I quipped, "Isn't that what I'm wearing here?" Why do you need to change it! β
"Master, this is a Lang outfit! Mom asked the master to put on a Lang costume, it's ......"
Xiaobi didn't finish speaking, and her face turned red.
I smiled, patted her on the shoulder, and continued to quip, "It's all the same, for me it's all fighting, and we have to work hard, but the battlefield is different." β
Xiaobi seemed to understand my words very well, and lowered her face into the collar in shame.
The so-called battle uniform is actually a tight-fitting black coat, the fabric is very light, and it is embroidered with poisonous snakes, spiders, centipedes and other Gu insects.
Maybe it's because I recognize my grandmother! I'm in a very good mood right now, and I want to tease Xiaobi.
As soon as I said a few words, I heard the sound of "woo woo woo" outside.
"Oh no! It's probably the monkey people coming! β
Xiaobi rushed out of the door like a launch.
We went one after the other, and when we reached the platform in the center of the stockade, there were already many people gathered, and others kept gathering.
Xiaobi said that what sounded just now was a "warning trumpet", and only foreign enemies invaded to blow such a trumpet.
Everyone changed into a black tights, the same color as the one on Grandma's body.
A few minutes later, the middle-aged women walked to the stage with their grandmother in their arms.
Grandma glanced at me, glanced around the others, and slowly pulled out a black flute from her sleeve.
The sound of this flute is peculiar, I have never heard it before, even something like it.
The flute sounded for more than ten seconds, and I saw the sound of the sound of the rope around me, and I looked up, and a group of small fiery red insects flew over, followed by other flying insects, and the ground was also, and all kinds of spiders gathered like a gathering.
Not for a long time, there were dozens of Gu worms lying on the body of every woman in the Jade Girl Village.
Grandma shouted "go" again, and everyone walked to the back of the stockade with the Gu wormsβit was a dense forest.
From time to time there were a few strange screams in the woods, the first time I had heard them, and I knew it was a monkey demonstration.
Grandma held a green cane in her hand, and shouted something to the forest of trees a few hundred meters in front of her, and in an instant, all the women of the Jade Girl Village raised their hands in unison, and shouted "Ya ......"
All the Gu worms seemed to have received the order to attack, and they swarmed into the woods like a tide.
Soon all the Gu worms disappeared into the woods, and with a wave of shaking branches and leaves, there were bursts of screaming from inside.
Judging from the sound, it can be judged that the screaming just now is a shout and a demonstration, but the current screaming is a miserable wail.
We just watched, and even though I had excellent eyesight, I couldn't see what was going on in the woods not far away.
I tiptoed over to my grandmother and asked her, "Grandma, this is not as mysterious as you said, and besides, we don't need to do it!" β
Grandma glared at me and whispered, "What do you know! This is because the latest Gu worm has already been cultivated, otherwise I don't know how troublesome it is! β
"Oh! That's it? I asked.
"It's not that simple, you must catch the Monkey King this time, otherwise there will be troubles left behind!"
As he spoke, he saw several standing and walking monkeys rushing out of the woods opposite, still holding weapons in their hands.
Where is this monkey! It's not the same as the monkeys I saw in a circus a few years ago.
These are animals that are more than a meter tall, and if they can stand upright, they should be about the height of an adult.
They are all brown, their hair is not long, and what makes people feel terrible is the red eyes, which are about to erupt fire!
What struck me the most was the weapon in their hands, which was actually a piece of polished stone tied to a wooden stick.
Seeing these monkeys running, I immediately thought of a picture in the history textbook of the first year of junior high school: a group of primitive people chasing prey with homemade weapons......
No way! Isn't this the primitives in front of me! They even make weapons.
In a few moments, the monkeys had rushed over.
Obviously, Grandma's monkey did not expect to rush out of the woods, first stunned, and then began to panic and retreat.
I was shocked and said: A woman is a woman! Charging into battle is still a matter for old men.
Thinking so, I picked up two stones from the ground, "popped", and smashed them accurately on the front door of the two monkeys, who fell directly on their backs to the ground.
Then I quickly picked up a piece and threw it at the third monkey.
The monkey I hit fell down in response, and even if he didn't faint, he couldn't get up.
But there were more and more monkeys behind me, and I saw that all the rocks around me were used up......
"The hosts! ...... hosts"
I turned my head to see that Xiaoqing and Xiaobi were each holding two eggplant-sized stones and placing them at my feet.
As soon as I saw that I had enough "ammunition", I was not afraid, so I picked up my arms and threw them.
Since eating the dragon egg by mistake, my physical strength and physical coordination have increased day by day, and I have not stopped meditating and practicing before going to bed these nights.
I was getting more and more excited, and it didn't take long for dozens of monkeys to fall to the ground by me.
"Eldest grandson, there is really yours!"
Seeing that the danger was temporarily lifted, Grandma leaned over a few steps and said approvingly.
But before I could speak, I heard a deafening tiger roar coming from the woods, followed by several tigers the size of calves jumping out of the woods.
If you look closely, each tiger has a muscular monkey lying on its back.
No way! This should be the Monkey King! I remember reading the introduction in "Animal World", there is a supreme monkey king among the monkeys, and there are even second-in-command and third-in-command......
A couple of tigers roared towards us with monkeys, so fast that we couldn't react.
But the tiger rushed to a place a hundred meters away from us and suddenly stopped, and it seemed that the monkey king was also very puzzled, and his mouth kept making strange sounds, as if urging the tiger to continue to move forward.
Only then did I remember what my grandmother had said before: The spirit snake in my body is the king of ten thousand Gus, and even the most ferocious beasts will be afraid.
