Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Monkey Country of the Zodiac Kingdom (I)
After climbing mountains, crossing valleys, wading through rivers, ponies, calves, and two mice, we finally came to the border line of the country of chickens, and two steps further on, it was the country of monkeys.
This...... How did this pass?
In front of them was a large rift valley more than ten meters deep, and there was land more than ten meters in front of them, and even if they ran fast, they couldn't jump over.
Looking left and right, there was not even a tree except for the bare ground, let alone a bridge, and the mouse began to think about how to cross a ravine of more than ten meters.
The little mouse was lying on the side, looked down and saw a stream.
The creek below is only two or three meters wide, and it is probably not too deep, but it flows so fast that you can clearly see the stones tumbling inside.
It seems that we can only get around.
The guinea pig thought about it for a long time and came up with such a sentence.
Well, it should be, so what about going to the left or to the right?
Maverick looked left and right and asked.
On visual inspection, it looks as if the left side should be closer.
Pony squinted into the distance and proposed.
Listen to him, it's the tallest pony, the farthest he's seen.
The little mouse nodded as well.
So, the men went to the left. After walking for a long time, there is still no end to the rift, but there is good news that the opening of the rift has become smaller, and it has changed from more than ten meters before to six or seven meters now. Although it was nearly halfway there, it was still not something that a few people could jump over. So, the four of them continued to walk forward.
After walking for a while, several people heard the sound of splashing, and then ran a few steps, and then they were dumbfounded.
It was a cliff with a hole in the cliff and a small stream flowing out of it, forming a small waterfall.
Underneath the cliff is a huge lake, dark green that feels deep, and you can vaguely see a few large fish swimming around.
It must be thirty or forty meters high, right?
The calf lies on the edge of the cliff and looks at the dark green lake below.
No matter how many meters, there is a conundrum in front of us now.
The mouse also looked down, and quickly shrank back in fright, and the height was so frightened that he was a little out of breath.
Do you need to say this?
The mouse gave the mouse a blank look, then sat aside.
Now, I know what you're thinking, are you thinking if I'm going to fall to my death if I jump, right?
I was embarrassed to do it twice.
You said you grew so tall, didn't you have bad eyes?
The calf walked over and patted the pony.
I didn't know it was a cliff, I just saw the Great Rift Valley at the end of the distance.
The pony doesn't want to admit he's wrong.
Now the width of the opening on the edge of the cliff is three or four meters, and if you can pick it up at great speed, it is still possible to jump over.
The mouse watched for a while, and came up with a feasible solution.
The little calf looked at it and directly said that he couldn't jump over, and the little mouse looked at it and shook his head.
Hey, it seems that I'm the only one who can jump over with a bad eye!
The pony lifted his hooves and said triumphantly.
What's the use of just jumping over you? How can you still move the rescuers?
The calf just said it casually, so that a few people had a way again.
The pony retreated more than ten meters, and then ran, the sound of the horse's hooves jumped up with everyone's hope, the pony's two front hooves stretched forward hard, the back two hooves tightly constricted under the buttocks, the distance of three or four meters was not a problem for the pony, and it was just a matter of an instant, the pony landed safely and came to the other side of the rift.
The pony glanced back at the letters, with the hens, and ran towards the south of the land of monkeys.
Moments later, the pony disappears into the sky as the three of them watch.
The calf also wanted to go over, but he didn't run fast and didn't jump high.
We're just waiting here? Waiting for the ponies to bring us rescuers?
The calf runs back and forth. I was a little tired from running, so I squatted next to the two mice, panting and asking.
yes, is there another way?
The little mouse glanced up at the calf.
How long will that have to wait? Aren't you hungry?
The calf was already hungry, but he didn't say anything.
The little mouse and the mouse raised their heads at the same time, looked at the calf and looked at each other.
The calf didn't say that it was okay, but when he said it, he was hungry.
But there is no grass around here, and there is only a small grove far behind it.
Looking at the woods far away in the sky, the little mouse sighed and could only keep up with the calf walking in front.
After a while, it was dark, and a few people were still a few kilometers away from the woods in the distance, and they would not be able to reach it for a while, so they could only set up camp on the spot and make a fire.
They found a big pit, and the three of them hid in it, and the clever mouse always had flint and steel on him, and then the little mouse and the calf found a few branches and some dead grass around.
A few people were lying on the slope in the pit, looking at the stars in the sky, and suddenly felt that the world was so big and they were so small.
The promised people took turns keeping vigil, but they all fell asleep.
As soon as the morning dawned, the little mouse woke up to the noise of the calf.
It turned out that a few monkeys saw that there were outsiders here, and quickly surrounded them, and these monkeys all held a stick in their hands, and they were chattering and jumping back and forth like a dance, which was annoying.
The calf pointed at the monkeys with his horns, and the mouse waved a half-burned stick to scare the monkeys.
The monkeys did not rush up, fearing the calf's horns, and sensing that the sparkling stick in the mouse's hand was threatening. A monkey picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at the mouse.
With a swing of the mouse, it knocked the stone away like a baseball.
The stone flew back along a curve and hit another monkey. The monkey who was hit by the stone was stunned for a moment, then turned around and went to beat the monkey who picked up the stone. Seeing this, the other monkeys began to pick up stones.
Damn, are you going to throw stones? Calf! Obstruct!
Whoosh!
Stones of various sizes flew towards the mice and calves.
The calf's top was at the front, and only half of the stones could be stopped, and the rest of the stones could not be stopped by the little stick of the mouse, so the first thing the little mouse saw when he opened his eyes was a stone that seemed huge to him and smashed into his face.
Boom!
A stone the size of a bird's egg hit the little mouse on the forehead, knocking the little mouse unconscious.
When the monkeys saw that someone had fainted, they quickly stopped and looked at the place.
Seeing that the monkeys had stopped, the mice and the calf were also confused, why didn't they fight?
Just as the two were confused, a monkey stepped forward.
Hey, hello, friends from afar, hehe, what, your friends seem to be dizzy, don't you go to see? Hehehe.
The monkey was laughing as he spoke.
What the? Who fainted? Holy, little mouse!
The calf looked back at the mouse, and then saw the mouse lying there with its mouth open and its tongue outstretched.
The mouse was startled, quickly put down the stick, ran to the little mouse's side, and shook it vigorously.
The calf looked at the monkeys cautiously, slowly retreated, until he reached the little mouse's side, and patted the little mouse on the head.
Oh, by the way, you've eaten in a long time, right? Come on, come on, there's a lot of fruit here, hehehe, for you!
The laughing monkey walked up. Pick up a backpack from your back and pull out a few red apples and a few peaches from it.
The calf didn't reach for it, he didn't know what the monkey was thinking.
The monkey looked at the calf with a smile on his face, and when he saw that he did not take it, he put the fruit on the ground, and then turned and retreated into the group of monkeys.
Using all kinds of methods, whether it is beating the hammer or kneading and pinching, the mouse can't wake up the little mouse, if it is not for the weak breathing of the little mouse, I think it is dead.
Seeing that the monkeys did not come over, the calf was also relieved a lot, picked up an apple on the ground, sniffed it in front of the nose, and was about to take a bite lightly, seeing that the monkey not far away had been smiling and looking at this side, the calf was really not at ease.
The mouse looked at the apple in the calf's hand, picked up an apple from the ground, and then took out a thin needle from the small bag on his body, then inserted it into the apple, and then pulled it out to look at it.
It's not poisonous, so feel free to eat it.
Hearing that the mice were not poisonous, the calf was immediately relieved and took a big bite.
Crunch, the calf eats fragrantly.
The sweet smell of apples wafted into the mouse's nose along the air, and then the mouse saw the mouse's nose move, and then saw its eyes slowly open.
The little mouse was confused, and he couldn't see the mice and calves around him clearly in his eyes, and he felt that he was a large myopia of several hundred degrees.
Gently rubbing his eyes, the little mouse's vision was slightly clearer, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw the calf nibbling on the apple with relish.
When the mouse saw it, he quickly handed the apple in his hand to the little mouse, and told him that it was given by the monkeys over there, and it was not poisonous, so he could eat it with confidence.
The little mouse slowly took the apple, looked at it, and somehow, actually cried.
Huh? Why are you crying? Isn't it just an apple? There's still one over there, you see!
The mouse quickly pointed to apples and peaches on the ground not far away.
The monkeys standing in the distance also glanced at each other.
The little mouse couldn't bite down after two bites, and cried like a tearful man, staring at the apple in his hand, not knowing what he recalled in his head.
Don't cry, it's all gone, everything will pass.
Seeing that the little mouse kept staring at the apple in his hand, the mouse hugged the little mouse tightly, patted the little mouse on the back, and comforted.
Hearing that the little mouse was no longer crying, the mouse looked at the little mouse.
Little mouse, do you remember the sad past? Is it still related to Apple?
The calf leaned over and looked at the little mouse, as a good friend of the little mouse, he wanted to know what made the little mouse so sad.
Alas, it was an unbearable past, so don't mention it.
The little mouse wiped his eyes and said.
It's okay, it's okay if you don't say it. We are all your friends, you can say whatever you want.
The mouse nodded, looked at the mouse, and smiled slightly.
Do you mean that I'm going to say it after all?
The little mouse looks at the guinea pig.
Hey, hey, that's what you mean!
The mouse slapped the mouse and winked at the calf.
Oh, yes, yes, it's okay if you don't say it, we won't force it, really!
The calf understood and quickly explained.
Poof, the calf burst into tears and laughed, looked at the mouse and the calf, and shook his head helplessly.
Oh, by the way, you're okay now, are you? Does your head still hurt? Why don't you lie down a little longer?
When the mouse looked listless after crying, he thought that the mouse had not recovered.
I was lying down well just now, did you wake me up?
The little mouse took a bite of the apple and looked at the mouse.
Hehe, that's not worrying about you!
The mouse smiled embarrassedly, and then picked up a peach from the ground, looked at it, and wondered if it would be tested again to see if it was poisonous, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was not necessary, so he bit it directly.
It's been a long time since they've eaten such a delicious fruit, and if they hadn't left a few for the ponies, they'd have eaten it long ago.
With a full burp, the calf grinned at the monkeys who were still waiting.
Hello, officially acquaintance, I am a calf from the land of cows, and I followed my friend to the land of monkeys to find a friend.
Oh, is that so? Hehehe, we just came out of the woods, about to go home, when we passed by and saw something smoking here, we thought it was on fire, and we came to see that it was a few of you. We thought you were badass, so we wanted to put it to the test. So none of the previous actions were intentional. Hehehe.
Oh, it doesn't matter. Oh, by the way, you said you were going home, we are looking for a good way to go to the land of monkeys, I wonder if we can follow you. You know, there's a big rift over there, and we can't get through it.
The Great Rift Valley? What the Great Rift Valley? Ahh Also, with your stature, I guess you can't jump out of breath, but you said you want to follow us. I'm afraid it's going to make you sad.
Oh? Why? Oh, is that how you jumped over?
The calf looked at the monkey with a surprised expression.
yes, what do you think?
The monkey said disapprerovingly.
Yes, it's just a jump for you.
Maverick said with some frustration.
In fact, there is another way to get through that deep ravine, that rift valley, I don't know if you are willing to take the risk.
The grinning monkeys behind him suddenly stopped laughing and quietly looked at the calf.
Be...... What's the solution?
The calf was furious by a few monkeys.
Come here, and I'll tell you, you can't let anyone hear that.
Oh okay, you name it.
What the monkey said, the calf didn't understand, but it felt a little incomprehensible
The monkey, who had been hehe, nodded to the calf and walked away with the other monkeys.
Huh? How did they go? Didn't you tell them to take us to the land of monkeys?
The mouse came over and saw the monkey talking to the calf and walked away.
I asked, and they jumped straight over there.
Holy, huh? Is it so powerful? It seems that the people in the country of monkeys are not simple, and they are very skilled.
The little mouse looked at the monkeys in the distance and couldn't help but say with envy.
By the way, a monkey told me that we could get over it without jumping over the Rift Valley. But that place, he told me, how to put it, is, uh, it's an evil place, a dark place, and it's dangerous. However, he said that it was the fastest way to enter the land of monkeys.
After the calf finished speaking, he carefully watched the reaction of the guinea pig.
Well, I can only give it a try. Since there is a way to get through, no matter how dangerous it is, we have to give it a try.
Okay, so be it, let's pack up and set off in a moment!
After a while, the three of them came to the edge of the cliff again, looking at the bottomless lake below, and hesitated in their hearts.
What to do? To jump or not to jump?
The little mouse looked down and shivered in fright.
Well, I don't know, why don't we go back?
The calf didn't dare to look at it after a glance, and quickly took a few steps back.
What's wrong with you guys? Do you want to go back to the woods over there, and then be surrounded by someone at night when you sleep, and then die in vain?
The little mouse looked back at the two.
Well, though, who's going to jump first?
When the guinea pig said this, he saw everyone's faces raised at the same time.
After three rounds of running, the little mouse was fortunate to get the first position, the calf won the second position, and the third position naturally fell on the guinea pig.
The mouse looked at the trembling mouse proudly, and kept cheering on the side.
Come on, come on little mouse! You're the invincible little mouse in the world!
Stop talking, you!
The little mouse glared back at the guinea pig.
The mouse quickly shut his mouth and didn't laugh.
Ahem, little mouse, stop the ink, what are you waiting for? Jump!
The little mouse glanced back at the calf.
Whew, the little mouse exhaled deeply, and then began to make various movements.
Damn, are you going to dive to get a perfect score? Hurry up!
The calf was more anxious than the little mouse in the back.
What's the hurry? Do you have the ability to come first?
The little mouse stopped and looked back at the calf.
No, no, no, according to the rules, you are the first, I am the second. You have to come first, I can't be offside.
The calf quickly waved his hand and shook his head to refuse the little mouse's kindness.
Looking down at the green lake below, after a while, I felt that the lake was rapidly getting bigger and closer, and when I saw that the lake was about to collide, the little mouse fainted in fright.
Little Mouse!
Seeing the little mouse and the native falling backwards, the calf quickly ran over and held the little mouse.
After waiting for a while, the little mouse slowly woke up, looking at the calf and the mouse looking at him, the little mouse sighed.
Forget it, I think it's dangerous down there, so let's wait for the ponies to come back, how about it?
The mouse looked at the mouse, then at the calf, and nodded.
Well, I don't think it's appropriate, it's safer to go into the woods. After all, none of us know what's down there, so if we jump down and get straight into the mouth of a monster, right, just finish playing.
The calf nodded as well, saying how he felt.
Well, since you've all said so, let's go back to the woods.
The mouse helped the mouse to his feet, ignoring the lake behind him as much as possible, and then the three of them walked towards the woods in the distance.
Not long after the three of them left, a black shadow nearly 100 meters long appeared in the green lake below, and the black shadow wandered for a distance before sinking.
Seeing the long-lost woods, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly had a feeling of the rest of their lives, I don't know if it was an illusion.
When they came to the woods, they left a mark on the side of the Rift Valley, and the ponies would know they were in the woods when they saw them.
After finding a relatively secluded and safe place in the woods, on a large tree, the three of them began to split up to find food.
There are a lot of wild fruits in the woods, and a variety of vegetables that can be eaten raw.
Before you know it, night has come, and the surrounding insects have begun to come out and shout, and after a while, a night symphony is sung, one after another.
The little mouse's body is very light, and it is easy to climb to the top of the tree, and the moment it climbs to the top of the tree, the little mouse is stunned, not because of how high he climbs, but because the scenery in front of him is too beautiful.
Under the bright starry sky, there is a white light in the distance, and I don't know what kind of insects emit fluorescent, as if they are dancing back and forth with the wind, which is extremely beautiful. And the lake in the distance actually launched this green ball of light upwards, and when the ball of light rose into the air, it would suddenly explode, turn into starlight, and then disappear.
Further to the right, rows of pink plants shimmered with a charming light, and a black shadow flashed between the pink plants.
When the little mouse saw it, he was so frightened that he quickly slipped down.
It's over, I'm going to have nightmares tonight.
When the little mouse came down, he saw that the other two were already asleep, so he quickly lay down, calmed down his restless mood, closed his eyes, and quickly forgot what he had just seen.
To be continued......
