Chapter 8: The Monkey
The large monkey king looked at me, cracking his mouth open, revealing his white fangs, and making a threatening sound, as if he was suing us.
Lao Itch and I each picked up a piece of firewood burning at the top and danced desperately to bring back the monkeys that rushed up. A few of them slowed down, and I burned their butts so hard that they screamed in pain and fled far away.
But at the same time, there are several particularly clever monkeys that are sneaking closer to our luggage. By the time we see the signs, it's too late. The few water bags that Lao Itch hadn't put into his backpack were grabbed by a small monkey. I screamed badly as soon as I saw it, so I rushed to grab it. But as soon as I walked away, a monkey sprang out from behind me, trying to snatch my luggage.
Luckily, my luggage was heavy. It dragged it a few times, and found that there was no way to drag it away smoothly, so it had to give up, and instead reached into its bag, trying to take out the small items inside.
I was amazed: these monkeys were so skillful that it was certainly not the first time they had laid siege to humans like this, and their goal was clearly to snatch our luggage, which was no different from humans. I've always thought that monkeys have a limit no matter how smart they are, but now it seems that if we only count robbery as a class, we may not be able to beat them.
I'm distracted here, the monkey has pulled a box out of my bag. I couldn't see it, it was a pack of compressed biscuits. Regardless of the one he was chasing, he rushed back, kicked the monkey away, then picked up the box and hurriedly stuffed it into his bag.
At this time, suddenly a yellow light flashed in front of me, and the monkey king had already jumped up and grabbed my face with one claw. I've seen monkeys hunt rabbits, and their claws are so sharp that if I caught them, I would have to break them.
In a hurry, I didn't have time to turn sideways, so I had to pick up a firewood stick to block it. All at once the monkey made a long bloody streak on my claws, and I bared my teeth in pain, and the stick fell out of my hand.
The Monkey King swooped back as soon as he landed, and I didn't have time to pick up the sticks, so I had to kick them in a hurry. Who knew that it would hug my leg all of a sudden, and bite me hard.
This one was so bad that I almost went crazy in pain, and I slapped it in the face. It reacted quickly, and immediately jumped away as soon as it rolled over. But I was quicker than it and grabbed it by the tail.
The tail of a monkey is very important, and if you catch it in a fight, you will be sentenced to death. It panicked, let out a roar, and lunged at the door in front of me.
I was so murderous that I dodged its final blow sideways, picked up its tail and slammed it to the ground. I estimate that this monkey weighs at least more than 40 pounds, and although he didn't say his life this time, it was enough to fall into the blindfold. But the monkey was surprisingly strong, and although I felt that I had used a killer, it didn't do anything at all, but screamed and wanted to pounce again. I was a little overwhelmed for a moment, so I threw it hard and slapped it hard against a tree. This time the force was too great, and my hand could not bear the strength, and I threw it out several meters, jumped up at once, and climbed a tree.
The old itch was thinking about the bags that were robbed, and he was still chasing the monkeys who had just robbed us. Those monkeys saw that the Monkey King had suffered a loss just now, so they would fight hard with him and flee all at once, but they did not flee far, and continued to make threatening movements. He went after one of them, and the others followed him, throwing stones at him, and to his great dismay. In this way, the monkey did not fight, and he himself was already panting.
I vaguely looked at it and thought it was not good, these wild monkeys were huge, agile, and the most troublesome thing was that they were not afraid of people at all. I'm already struggling to deal with one monkey king, and if two monkeys attack me at the same time, I'm afraid I'll be able to suffer a big loss here today. And the monkey has a very strong memory, and we have inexplicably provoked these monkeys this time, if we can't solve it completely, I'm afraid that there will be no peace and tranquility in the future.
The old itch chased for a long time, exhausted, panted and ran back and said, "No...... No, these monkeys are running too fast, let's not be like them, let's go. Those things that were lost should be given to the mountain god as a meeting gift. ”
When I think about it, there is really no way, we really have no chance of winning by grabbing things with monkeys in the old forest. If time goes on, there may be other losses. Moreover, although some things are lost, they are not very critical, like cold light sticks, we can replace them with torches.
So I nodded and said to the old itch: "You're right, I don't know how deep it is, once it gets dark, our road will be even more difficult." However, you kid have to be fucking good, don't be the first to do it. ”
Lao Itch remembered what happened just now, so he didn't get angry, waved his hand at me and said, "Okay, don't mention it." This beam is finished, if Lao Tzu is not in a hurry, how can he take off the skin of this monkey king. ”
The two of us fastened our backpacks and shouted loudly to drive away the monkeys and continue walking down the narrow road. When the monkeys saw that we were gone, they thought we had escaped, and they jumped up the walls on either side and came to us, making mocking noises at us as they returned. Old Itch turned around and scolded: "you."
Mother, don't be complacent, you, if I still have a chance to come back, I will arrest you all and eat them! ”
When the monkeys saw him screaming, they became even more vigorous, especially the monkey king, who assumed the posture of a victor and kept very close to him, wanting to pounce on him again while I was not looking. Old Itch became angry when he saw it, picked up the stone on the ground and threw it on the bridge of the monkey king's nose. This hit quite hard, really
The monkey king almost fell off the cliff.
Unexpectedly, those monkeys became angry and picked up the things at the bottom and threw them over. Soon I was hit with rocks and mud in the head, and I had to cover my head with my hands and run wildly. sighed in my heart, today is a shame and lost home, fortunately no one else saw it, otherwise I could only crash to death to save face.
We ran all the way and half a cigarette before we stopped. As soon as I looked, we had completely entered this clamp ditch, and the "one day" on it had become "one day". Because the distance between the two mountain walls is narrower, one of the cliff tops on both sides has to be pressed down
The feeling makes people feel chills down their backs, and they can't wait to get out of here immediately.
Further on, the feeling is even greater. With this tendency, if I hadn't inquired beforehand, I would have thought that the two mountains were combined.
I remembered what the old guide had said, so I asked the old itch: "By the way, did the old man tell you what the yīn soldiers in this clamp ditch are last time?" When did that legend first come about? ”
Lao Itch said: "The yīn soldier is the soldier between yīn. You think that their kind of old man can say anything that has something to build. I think they all heard from the older generation, and they have passed it on from generation to generation anyway. Each place has a different version of this legend, as to what time
Those who are waiting to start have long been unable to verify. ”
I said, "Did he say anything closest to the present, when was it?" ”
Old Itch smiled: "Then I didn't ask so much." Lao Wu, you shouldn't have scared him. Don't worry, don't look at what these individuals say, there is no one who has really seen yīn soldiers. I think it's just a matter of spreading falsehood. ”
I didn't think so, and said, "Then you can't say that." In this deep mountain and old forest, anything can happen, maybe it happened to us. You wake me up to the twelve-point jīng god, don't care if something is wrong, just run back. ”
I have heard a lot of legends about yīn soldiers, and many boring people have speculated, and the more famous one is the stunning horse trough in Yunnan. Legend has it that the Southern Barbarian King Meng was looking for someone to dig it, and this place is still there, and when it comes to the thunderstorm season, there will be a sound of weapons fighting. The other is the Tangshan earthquake
time, even more mysterious. I heard that there were many people who saw a long convoy of horses carrying 100,000 heads coming out of Tangshan, and they were encountering the People's Liberation Army transport team that entered the city for disaster relief, and then I don't remember Yunyun.
Old Itch also told me a few other things. The road has been rarely traveled since the late 70s, but not a single weed grows, as if it were trampled by horses every day. A few years ago, there were people who wanted to build an attraction here, but as soon as the construction team came, it started to rain heavily. It's like this every time, and those leaders have no choice but to give up.
We continued to go deeper, gradually walking a little numb. I don't know how long this mountain crack is, the further you go inside, the dimmer the light becomes, and the temperature also drops, and it feels like yīn Sensen, there is a very obvious sense of bad luck. And I don't know when, the monkeys behind us didn't follow us, and suddenly the whole mountain crevice was a little quiet and a little terrible, except for the whistling of the wind and some other strange sounds that could not be named. This feeling makes us all very uncomfortable.
Lao Itch and I came up with a way to say a brain teaser by ourselves, so that we could divert our attention and not be affected by the strange atmosphere in this mountain crevice. Still, I felt a great sense of uneasiness, and as we went deeper, it became more and more apparent. I even felt a few times that the glimmer of heaven above us could disappear at any time, and we would be trapped in the dark interior of the mountain by Wangyuan.
I was thinking about it, and I didn't know how long I had been walking. Suddenly, the old itch who was walking in front of me stopped. I couldn't react for a moment and hit him on the back, this time it hit him hard. I was a little annoyed and asked him, "What's going on?" Stop when you say stop, and don't say a word. ”
He turned his head, his face was pale, his mouth trembled for a long time, and he couldn't say a word.
When I saw him like this, I couldn't cry it out in my heart. This kid can be regarded as having seen the world, and looking at his movements, I'm afraid he has encountered something again. Hurriedly patted him on the back and helped him pick up that breath.
He relieved himself, grabbed me, and stammered, "Old Wu, ...... Front...... It's like there's a hand......"
Hearing him say this, I was stunned for a moment, and I hurriedly looked over to see what I said.
At this time, I was even mentally prepared to see a ghost hand floating in the air, but when I looked at it for the first time, I didn't notice where the hand was.
I thought for a moment that this kid was playing tricks on me again, and was about to have a seizure, when suddenly I saw the so-called hand. All of a sudden, my scalp was numb with fright, my brain buzzed, and I almost bit my tongue.
It turned out that the crack in the mountain in front of it had been blocked by a strange thing, and people could only climb over it. It was unbelievable that it was a huge human hand blocking our way.
