"Let's all stop and rest, eat something and go."

Liu Ruxiang beckoned, found a big stone to sit down, she took out two rice balls from her bag and handed me one.

The rice balls are filled with capers, green and spicy seeds, and sausages, and although they are cold, they are also very flavorful on this hot day, and they can only be eaten with an apple to fill their stomachs.

Meng Lao Er bought some steamed buns at the steamed bun shop at the entrance of the village in the morning, he ate some first, and then broke the buns into small pieces with his hands and fed them to Fang Xiaomei little by little.

Looking at his careful care, he looks like a responsible man, why is he so stupid?

When we were almost done, we continued to walk up the mountain.

"Today, you must rush to the top of the mountain in the afternoon, and then make a sacrifice to ask for the mandrill's forgiveness, otherwise it will start a fire, and it will not be convenient for me to stop you if you really want your life."

The group couldn't help but speed up their pace, and soon came to a dimly lit dense forest.

Liu Ruxiang suddenly became alert and looked around.

"Squeak-squeak-"

There was a commotion in the trees not far away, and out of nowhere came a group of big black monkeys, grinning and barking, jumping from tree to tree and speeding towards our group.

"Squeak-" The monkey's cry smacked of anger. When we climbed to the tree above us, we suddenly saw several black dots falling from the sky.

"Get out of the way!" Liu Ruxiang immediately reminded us a few.

Quickly dodged away, and saw a few more egg-sized pebbles on the ground, which fell directly into many small pits on the muddy ground.

"These dead monkeys." I looked up in a panic, afraid to be smashed in the head by the falling rock.

"Monkeys have good brains and hold grudges. It is estimated that he saw Meng Lao Er coming to avenge the murder of his son two years ago. Let's run up the hill first, scattered in a few locations. Liu Ruxiang's face was not shocked, but her brows furrowed slightly.

"Hey, you shouldn't have done evil back then." Meng Lao Er covered his wife's head behind him and immediately panicked.

"Squeak, squeak!" The monkeys saw us run away, and they chased after us.

As a result, because we had a lot of things with us, the monkeys quickly surrounded us.

A very strange thing happened: the monkeys jumped up and down to attack Meng Lao Er, and a majestic monkey used its claws and scratched his shoulder, immediately tearing his coat, and several fleshy marks appeared in it, and blood flowed straight down.

Fortunately, these monkeys did not attack me and Liu Ruxiang, and Meng Lao Er put his wife behind him on the ground, and he covered Fang Xiaomei with his body, and carried all the attacks by himself.

Another lean monkey jumped out, opened its mouth, and bit Meng Laoer's buttocks, blood splattered everywhere, and no matter how much he tried to hit his fist, it was useless.

I was a little worried about this, and looked at Liu Ruxiang with a look of help, if this Meng Lao Er was bitten to death on the mountain, it would be difficult to explain to his family when he went back.

At this time, without me saying that the cooker understood what I meant, she pulled out the short sword at her waist and stabbed it with a sword, hitting the monkey in the back.

The monkey finally relented, and staggered out of the way with a scream.

At this moment, a long roar of a monkey came from overhead, and a large monkey with a shiny black coat jumped down in three steps and two steps.

The monkey was extremely ugly, and had a sarcoma the size of an egg on his face. Incredibly, it was holding a woodcutter in its hand, and while howling, it rushed towards us, raising the knife and slashing at Liu Ruxiang.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! Liu Ruxiang used a short sword to block, but it was an inch long and an inch strong, so she had to retreat again and again.

At this moment, the monkey quickly withdrew his hand, turned his head and slashed at Meng Laoer's neck.

"Ahh I screamed, my face pale with fright, and I couldn't bear to look at the bloody scene.

But there was no human head rolling off as I imagined, the monkey seemed to be deliberately releasing water, and the blade slashed heavily on the ground next to Meng Laoer's head, and the earth and rocks splashed in an instant.

It slashed at us many times in succession and bared its teeth at us.

It didn't climb the tree until it ran out of strength and let out a long howl.

The monkeys slowly retreated, and a thrilling battle finally came to an end.

Meng Lao Er got up from the ground, his eyes were a little dull, as if he was recalling something.

He suddenly asked me, "Did the monkey with the knife just now have a sarcoma on his face and look ugly?" ”

I nodded.

He looked bitter and muttered: "I just said it in the morning, two years ago, I went up the mountain to catch a monkey, and after catching two small mandrills on the top of the mountain by mistake, I let go of the half-grown ugly monkey from before, and the monkey had a sarcoma on its face, which is its ......."

Being reminded like this, it dawned on me that it was no wonder that this monkey slashed several times in a row, and the knife was next to his head, otherwise any murderous intent could directly kill him.

One report and one report, two years ago's unintentional move, I didn't expect to save his life today, it's really embarrassing.

Seeing that the movement around us disappeared, our group sat down to rest, that group of monkeys is not low, this time they came to obstruct us probably to take revenge, or rather, to teach us a lesson.

Fortunately, Master and I were not injured. At this time, Liu Ruxiang took out a small white porcelain medicine bottle and handed it to me, asking me to sprinkle a little on Meng Laoer's wound.

It was a yellow powder, and there was a very strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and it didn't take long for me to sprinkle it, and Meng Lao Er stopped talking about the pain, saying that it was much more comfortable.

I was a little surprised in my heart, turned my head to look at Liu Ruxiang, I didn't expect that my beautiful master was not very old, and he would have so many things, and I was instantly curious.

Cook, cook, what else do you have?

After drinking some water and resting for a while, Meng Laoer's wounds were also healed, and he regained Xiaomei's back and walked towards the top of the mountain.

As he was walking, Liu Ruxiang asked: "Meng Laoer, have you come in recently except for going into the mountains to collect medicine?" ”

Meng Lao Er said in a deep voice: "Yes, most of the months ago, and three days ago, I helped my second uncle go up the mountain to collect firewood, and he didn't walk high, probably only half the height of the position we just had." ”

Liu Ruxiang pondered for a moment and said bad news: "I thought you didn't go up the mountain much, and this monkey came to take revenge." Looking at it now, it is estimated that it was the mandrill that drove the beasts to come to obstruct it, and they all cheered up, but they must not go back to the road. ”

Liu Ruxiang told me when he first went up the mountain that the mandrill is a mountain spirit, an evil spirit in the mountain, and has a treacherous ability, and it is not a problem to drive the unrefined beasts in the mountains and wilderness.
