Chapter 15 The Hairy Monkey

The book continues to be written, and I continue to say, and you continue to listen.

To say that this is a wooden house does not fit.

In the local language, the house should be called "woodcut flute", or "slab and mud", this type of building, which appeared before the red brick house, was the main residence of the older generation. The material of the house is red pine, which is upright, durable, and can bear weight, and is used to make beams and columns; It is a kind of civil wood similar to birch, the main feature is that the water content is extremely high, not easy to burn, with this kind of wood cut out of the board, the fire burns it for three to five hours, except for the focus of the skin, the flesh and bone in it will never disperse, the local people use it to face and top.

After the top of the beams and columns of the house is constructed, it is equipped with yellow mud with hay, watered and even, pasted on the board, layer after layer, seeing that the mud has dried out the seams, and then pasted, generally when building a house in summer and autumn, this layer of mud is almost pasted, winter is coming, and the house is completed.

In the past, the people who lived in the "board and mud" were to be laughed at by the people who lived in the "woodcut flute", which is like the current affordable housing and mansions, which is a symbol of social status.

And now the wooden house that accommodates me should be classified as a social housing, although it is not cold, but it is very simple, the mud on the wall is very thin, and the curved slippers inside are exposed in several places, and occasionally cockroaches can be seen swaggering around. It is said that at that time, the Eternal Forest Farm had just finished building a large number of brick houses, and every family had moved into new houses.

I lifted the quilt and sat up, trying to figure out my situation, I don't know who put a pair of cotton slippers on my feet, and there were two bears sewn on the upper, in that small place in that era, such craft slippers, it is not an exaggeration to call it a luxury, but it appears in this "affordable housing", it is very incongruous, to put it on hold now, the most likely is to be an official, although greedy, but dare not show wealth, but which official family runs to live in this deep mountain and old forest.

I got up, found that the strength of the body was restored by half, and the mental head was a hundred times stronger than before, I remembered my wound, lifted the thread, and found that this mouth had changed its appearance, it was originally a straight one leaning against the navel, but now it has become an inexplicable circle, which can startle me, I grabbed my clothes and walked to the window, and took advantage of the snow-white world outside to illuminate the wound more clearly, and I didn't feel a single two or three when I touched it.

This strange thing happened one after another, making me confused and confused, could it be that someone took advantage of the time when I was not awake, and dug something out of my body, my day your mother, the little master is so little in the stomach, dig a little today and pick a little tomorrow, I still have a few taels of meat left under this skin, and I will become a hollow radish in this way. But this calf is okay, and after the operation, he still knows that he will throw me into this wooden house to warm up, and his humanity has not been completely extinguished.

I looked around, thinking about whose house this was, outside was the deep mountains and old forests, the cold days of Sanjiu, built here alone, and I couldn't even see a single figure, and suddenly, I remembered the story my mother told me when I was a child, the story of the hairy monkey.

This happened when the Eternal Forest Farm was first built, and there were only seven or eight families, all of whom came with the task of the Forestry Bureau, one is to find out the timber reserves and types of this large forest, and the other is to formulate a plan for harvesting, and at the same time to plan the main route of timber transportation. At that time, there would be no big highway leading directly to the outside, and if this ** family wanted to go out, they had to cross eighteen hills and cross five rivers. One of these eighteen ridges is called "don't look back", it is said that every winter when the snow moth flies up, if you want to get out of this ridge, you must not turn back, your eyes must not turn, you must go straight forward, don't think too much, once you look back with curiosity, there will be a small life in the world, there are no fewer dead people on this hill.

What's going on, if anyone passes through here, there will be a monkey here, and it will follow behind you unconsciously, and there will not even be a movement, and you don't know when it will come, and you can't see when it will go, and if you don't care about it, it won't provoke you, but whenever you look back at it, it will swoop up on your back, and it will bite at the back of your neck with its fangs, and this bite will never let go, until it tears your neck and pulls your head down.

Said that this monkey was originally in the Republic of China, followed a Taoist priest down the mountain to rely on each other, the Taoist priest led him to walk the streets and alleys to make a living, but I don't know one day this Taoist priest let a bully boy take people to beat up, directly let people beat to death, this monkey is not less guilty, his lips were directly cut in half by the kitchen knife along the center, and then fled to the mountains to take revenge on humans. When the Eternal Forest Farm was opened to the road, no one would climb the eighteen posts again, and no one would ever see this monkey again.

It turned out that when I listened to this story, my mother was next to me on the hot kang, which was completely seeking psychological stimulation in a safe environment, but now I am in this snowy deep mountain and old forest, and when I think of it, I can't help but stand up with hairs all over my body.

At this moment, I saw through the window two black dots in the distance, and the black dots were particularly dazzling in this white environment, as if they were walking towards my cabin in the woods. The winter in the Northeast is unusually cold, there is a temperature difference between inside and outside the house, and the window glass is frozen, I hope I am dazzled and wrong, and I use my mouth to haha the window and wipe off a thin layer of ice, but who wants to see this more clearly, it is clearly a big and a small two things, the small one closely follows the big one, jumping around, like a monkey, and the big one wears more and more like a Taoist priest.

I thought to myself, I really have blood mold, and there are still several years to go before my first natal year, why is this year so unlucky, even the things in the ghost story can let me catch up. Like an ant on a hot pot, I walked around the house with my head down, trying to find a place to hide, lest the monkey look at me and bite my neck to pieces, and I couldn't find a place to hide, and there was not even a box in the big room, so I wanted to leave without lifting my legs, but as soon as I opened the door, the biting cold wind pierced my heart, and I closed the door and shrank back. The master wore a layer of thread clothes, and there was not even a warm clothes in this house, so poor that it was like this.

While I was scratching my heart and lungs in the room,

"Squeak"

The door opened, and one big and one small walked into the room, and I closed my eyes sharply and said,

"Master Monkey, I didn't look at you, I don't know why I'm here, you, you give me a dress, I'll leave now, don't bite my neck!"

"Oops, Asako, you're awake!"

As soon as I heard this voice, it was so familiar, but after being tossed for so many days, I couldn't remember who it was.

"Who are you?" I asked, covering my eyes with my hands

"Open your eyes and see who I am"

This thing can speak, and it must not be a monkey, so I split my fingers and squinted.

This is actually my grandson standing in front of me!
