Chapter 37: Mandrill 2

It is rumored that once the mandrill blocks the way, the brave will turn around and run to get out of the disaster, and the mandrill is too big to catch people, and the timid legs will be eaten by the mandrill.

As for what some people say about throwing their shoes to smash mandrills, and they still say that mandrills, you are the shortest, and I can defeat such a thing if you are taller than you, it is purely to give your own life and a body of flesh to the mandrill to eat.

The mandrill is extremely ferocious and tyrannical, because the speed is slower than the human run, it will not go to the place where there are many people at all, this Botuo Temple has more than a dozen monks, the strong popularity impact, the mandrill should not and will not come here.

"Host, please take me to the place where Sun Shusheng lives."

Jiang Xiao's request The old monk didn't think it was strange, and took Jiang Xiao to the most secluded room, opened the door and looked, there were dozens of cracks on the wall, and even there were such traces on the table, Mingkong pointed to these traces and said:

"This is what Sun Shusheng said about the mandrill scratch, when he took out his pocket saber and cut it at the mandrill's feet, as if he had hit a piece of wood, which scared the mandrill away."

Jiang Xiao touched those cracks with his fingers, smiled and said:

"Sun Shusheng is very bold, in this way, I will go to the village under the mountain to ask, and I will help you catch mandrills at night."

Saying that, Jiang Xiao went out, led the horse to the small village hundreds of meters away, and after asking around for a while, he went to a thatched hut at the edge of the village, and before arriving at the thatched hut, he looked left and right and laughed, counted the horse on the stone in front of the door, and he stepped forward and knocked on the door and shouted:

"Is anyone home, please?"

The door creaked open, and a stocky man in his twenties looked at Jiang Xiao with some surprise and said:

"Who is the guest officer looking for?"

Jiang Xiao smiled:

"Looking for you, your name is Zhu Laifu, right, I have something to tell you."

Zhu Laifu frowned and invited Jiang Xiao into the house, poured a glass of cold water for Jiang Xiao, and then sat crampedly on the side and said:

"What is the guest officer looking for me, if I buy prey, I haven't gained anything in the past few days."

Zhu Laifu is a hunter in a small village, originally had two acres of land at home, but a few years ago somehow fell into the hands of Liugou Temple, after Zhu Laifu's parents died one after another, he made a living by hunting.

These are all general news that Jiang Xiao heard, and he is not here to find Zhu Laifu to buy any prey mountain treasures, he glanced at the three-strand steel fork that Zhu Laifu was hunting behind the door and said with a smile:

"I'm just here for one thing, three days ago, the mandrill in Liugou Temple was not pretended by you, why did you pretend to be a mandrill scary, make it clear that if you are reasonable, I will let you go, otherwise your little hunting ability will not be able to pass half a trick in my hands."

Zhu Laifu is just an honest man in the mountains, and if he can withstand Jiang Xiao's words, his face turned a little blue and he hurriedly said:

"It's not me, it's not me, I'm not pretending to be a mandrill."

Jiang Xiao grinned and said:

"The three-foot stilts in your small courtyard, and the three-strand steel fork behind your door, do you want me to take you to see the knife marks on the stilts, or take your steel fork to compare the so-called scratches on the walls in the Zen courtyard?"

Zhu Laifu suddenly became nervous and desperate, he suddenly stood up and said:

"Yes, it's me, this Liugou Temple used a fake land deed to occupy my family's fertile land, and slandered my father, and finally my parents were angry to death, these despicable monks, I didn't kill them are all good, so that they can't deceive people without incense, is it wrong?"

Jiang Xiaole was happy, this guy seemed to have been forced by him to say everything, when he entered Liugou Temple, he knew that no mandrill had entered the Zen courtyard, and when he saw the so-called scratches on the walls and on the table, it was completely a sharp weapon to draw hard, and the mandrill's claws were hook-shaped, and it was impossible to show such marks on the wall.

went down the mountain to investigate, he guessed that someone deliberately scared Sun Shusheng away, so that the people around him would no longer go to Liugou Temple to donate incense and so on, and finally he learned that Zhu Laifu's family property suddenly returned to Liugou Temple, so he had a plan to come to investigate.

When he arrived at the door, he saw a pair of wooden stilts, and a diagonal knife mark on the left foot of the stilt was an inch deep, and when he entered the door, he saw a steel fork, and he directly exposed Zhu Laifu, that is, to know what the truth was.

As Zhu Laifu continued to scold and scold himself, Jiang Xiao knew the truth completely, Zhu Laifu's land was just ten zhang away from Liugou Temple, and he could harvest thousands of catties of rice every year.

After Zhu Laifu said several times, Jiang Xiao had already drunk two glasses of cold water by himself, he smiled and handed one to Zhu Laifu and said:

"Revenge, it's not like you, the revenge of taking property, the hatred of the violent death of your parents, just cut off their financial route, you are satisfied?"

If Jiang Xiao didn't know about this, he would threaten Zhu Laifu, and then pretend to act in a drama to catch the mandrill and get the money and leave, but this Liugou Temple actually did this, he followed the upright Ninth Uncle and the righteous Yan Chixia to practice, and naturally he couldn't get used to Mingkong's actions in his heart, if he just let Mingkong and the monks of Liugou Temple go, his practice might as well not be cultivated.

Zhu Laifu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand Jiang Xiao's words, Jiang Xiao sighed and said:

"Do you still want to have your property? Do you want revenge on your parents? ”

Zhu Laifu glared and said:

"Of course I want to, but Mingkong has a close relationship with the county master, can't I still kill him?"

Jiang Xiao shook his head, what is the use of killing a Mingkong or a group of monks, Mingkong is a money-greedy monk, as long as the wealth he has gathered for many years is gone, he will definitely be angry to death. Jiang Xiao looked at Zhu Laifu and said:

"I'll give you a chance, you can take revenge, and you can earn a few hundred taels of silver, and it won't involve you, do you dare to do it?"

Of course, Zhu Laifu's hatred for Mingkong was great, and he hurriedly nodded and said:

"Sir, although he said, as long as I, Zhu Laifu, can do it, I will definitely do it."

Jiang Xiao muttered in Zhu Laifu's ear for a while, handed him a small bag, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, and Jiang Xiao rode back to Liugou Temple.

Seeing him come back, Mingkong, who seemed to be pure and natural and full of solemnity, asked people to prepare a good meal, and after eating, he arranged Jiang Xiao's residence, which happened to be next to the room where Sun Shusheng lived.

In the middle of the night, the wind in the mountains hunted, and the bell of the cornice in the temple was also ringing, and in the midst of a loud wind, one after another piercing whistling suddenly came from afar.

"Jiang Daxia, get up quickly, mandrill, mandrill has appeared......"

A shout came from outside the door, Jiang Xiao opened his eyes and sat up with a smile and said:

"I'll ...... right away"
