Chapter 12: Monkey Man Skin Six

Old Man Chen's eyes regained his sight, and he was naturally overjoyed, and he thanked Bandoutoutuo for a thousand thanks, and he wanted to take a heavy reward for Bandoutoutuo and Feng Sanyan.

Feng Sanyan and Ban Doutoutuo couldn't shirk it, so they symbolically took three or five taels of silver each, and refused to ask for more. Mr. Chen couldn't resist the two of them, and immediately said that he would use the remaining silver taels as a donation to help the township in the future.

The guests and hosts had a good conversation, and suddenly a servant came to report, saying that there was a monkey trickster outside the door and said that he had come to beg for a monkey to be raised.

Feng Sanyan and the others were shocked to realize that the monkey that was captured by the villagers to change the eyes of Master Chen was not a wild monkey, but a beast with an owner. Now that Master Chen has received the favor of this monkey, he just thanked the owner of the monkey, and immediately asked Chen Qi to invite the monkey man into the house to talk.

Not long after, a thin man followed Chen Qi into the hall, this man was a human being, with yellow hair, wearing a sloppy and shabby clothes, and two monkeys chained behind him.

The thin man saw Master Chen, hugged his fists and saluted according to the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, and said in an official dialect with a strong Henan accent: "In Xiapiliu, wandering in the rivers and lakes to make a living by playing monkeys, yesterday I came to Guibaodi, and when I rested in the land temple at the head of the town at night, I didn't expect a monkey to break free from the chain and escape. It wasn't until early this morning that I heard that the beast was making trouble in the market, and the villagers caught it and offered it to Master Chen. Please also remember that it is not easy to make a living in the arts, give back the monkey, and remember your kindness at six o'clock in the future! ”

Master Chen politely invited Pi Liu to sit down for tea, and asked Steward Chen to bring the goose cage containing the monkey, Pi Liu whistled, and the monkey immediately jumped up in the cage when he heard the master's call.

Pi Liu approached the goose cage to inspect the monkey, and when he saw that the monkey had lost a pair of eyes, his complexion suddenly changed, and he looked up at Master Chen with inquiring eyes.

Master Chen was a little ashamed, told the truth of the matter, and finally apologized: "The old man really doesn't know that this monkey is raised by Your Excellency, I'm very sorry, how much is Your Excellency worth this monkey Although the price is offered, the old man will never treat Your Excellency badly!"

Pi Liu was also a little surprised when he heard that Master Chen's eyes were actually changed monkey eyes, and carefully looked at Master Chen's eyes, and finally sighed: "Alas! Perhaps this is also providential. It was not easy for me to raise and domesticate this monkey, and now that it has no eyes, it is a waste. Master Chen casually gave a few ten taels or eight taels, and it was finally not in vain for my hard work. ”

Master Chen didn't say a word, and asked the housekeeper Chen Qi to take twenty taels of silver, and politely sent it to Pi Liu.

Piliu took the silver and put it in his chest, opened the goose cage and reached out to grab the monkey and hold it in his arms, his eyes full of pity. After a while, Pi Liu's eyebrows furrowed, and he grabbed the monkey's neck and pinched it hard, with a crisp click, the monkey's neck bone shattered, and his head was crooked and he died.

Everyone present was shocked by Pi Liu's cruel and resolute actions, and even the other two monkeys led by Pi Liu's back trembled with fear.

Pi Liu put the dead monkey's body on his shoulders and sighed: "Now that this monkey is worthless, it consumes food in vain while living, so it is better to send it to liberation as soon as possible."

After speaking, he bowed his hand to everyone, led the other two monkeys and turned to leave.

Feng Sanyan and Bandoutou Tuo saw the tragic death of the monkey, and they didn't feel good in their hearts, so they got up together and said goodbye to Master Chen. Master Chen wanted to set up a dinner to entertain the two, but refused to let the two leave.

Bandoutoutuo took out a few packets of medicine powder from the blanket, handed it to Master Chen, and said with a smile: "We have understood the intention of Old Master Chen." Your eyes have just been replaced, the silk blood is not smooth, and you still need to cultivate a lot, here are a few packets of medicine powder, mix and apply warm water to your eyes every day before going to bed, and it will be stable after seven days. At that time, it is not too late to eat and drink at the house. ”

Feng Sanyan also echoed: "The uneven old Taoist of Shiniuguan is still waiting for me to go back, so I won't bother in the house today, and I will come to officially congratulate Master Chen when he has recovered."

Pi Liu, the monkey trickster who was walking to the gate, was about to step out of the threshold of Chen's Mansion, when he heard the words "Unjust Daoist" and "Shiniuguan" in Feng Sanyan's words from a distance, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Feng Sanyan, a strange look appeared on his face, and continued to walk out of Chen's Mansion with a sneer......

That night, Ban Dou Tuo followed Feng Sanyan back to Shiniu Guan to settle down, he was used to wandering Jianghu guests, and did not value silver money, the "half bucket" in the law name, refers to the meaning of contentment every day and half a bucket. When he returned to Shiniuguan, Bandoutoutuo bought wine and meat in the market with the silver obtained from Chen's mansion, and invited Feng Sanyan to eat and drink together.

At the wine table, Feng Sanyan talked about what happened in Chen's Mansion during the day, and when he talked about how Bandou Toutuo used Zhu Youshu to change Old Master Chen's eyes, even the well-informed injustice old man also exclaimed.

The more the three of them chatted, the more speculative they became, and they laughed and laughed while pushing cups and changing lamps. I don't know how long it took, the three of them couldn't resist the strength of the wine, and fell asleep drunk on the wine table.

In the land temple at the east end of the town, Pi Liu sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a few hard-boiled eggs from the baggage behind him, carefully peeled off the shell, and handed them to the two monkeys squatting beside him.

There are not a few hungry people in these years, and it is a great creation to be able to eat bran and not be starved to death, and eggs are already a rare good thing, but this grizzled monkey trickster actually fed the monkeys with precious eggs.

Pi Liu fondly stroked the gobbling monkey and muttered, "Eat, eat, eat enough to have the strength to work."

The two monkeys quickly finished their eggs and looked at Piliu with blinking eyes. Piliu took out the water bladder and fed some water to the two monkeys, and then took out the clay bowl he used for eating, and poured a full bowl of water.

"Chaotic round light, the shadow appears!" Pi Liu stretched out two fingers and gently stirred a few times in the clear water, and when the water in the pottery bowl returned to calm again, the scene of Feng Sanyan, the unjust Taoist, and Bandoutoutuo eating wine and drinking meat in the Shiniuguan suddenly appeared.

Pi Liu sneered, pulled the two monkeys beside him, and silently watched the scene in the clear water together, until the three people in the Shiniuguan were drunk, Pi Liuhuang raised his eyebrows, and there were five or six three-inch-long silver needles in his hands.

"It's your turn!" Pi Liu suddenly plunged the silver needles in his two hands into the top of the two monkeys' heads, the back of their necks, and their vests. The two monkeys trembled suddenly, and immediately became agitated, baring their teeth and squeaking at Piliu.

Pi Liu took out two short daggers about half a foot long from his baggage, stuffed them into the hands of the two monkeys, pointed to the three Shi Niu Guan who were appearing in the pottery bowl, and ordered the monkeys: "Go, it's best to kill them!"
