The next afternoon, the blue sky was like satin, and the white clouds were like snow. The god Apollo, sprinkled his warm sunlight on the clouds and mountains.

Zhang Shaofei said to Wang Shaoxiang: "Mother, you are resting here, I will go up the mountain to collect medicine now." ”

Wang Shaoxiang scratched the itch and asked, "Fei'er, where are you going to collect medicine?" ”

"Mother, Yunwu Mountain is a big medicine storehouse, there must be mountain herbs that can cure your skin diseases." Zhang Shaofei said, went to the corner of the house and picked up a bamboo basket, picked up a small hoe and sickle, and was about to go out.

Liang Zhenhui chased forward: "Brother Fei, I'll go with you." ”

"No need," Zhang Shaofei waved his hand, "It's more convenient to go up the mountain to collect medicine, climb the rock and go down the gully." Besides, you don't know which herbs I'm going to pick. You get busy with your family work first. Come with me another day. ”

"This ......" Liang Zhenhui scratched his head and said, "I'll listen to you today, don't forget to take me next time!" ”

Zhang Shaofei went out with a bamboo basket on his back and headed towards the mountain, along the road the beautiful trees are like forests, the mountains are like the sea, and the flowing water is murmuring.

Zhang Shaofei walked, walked, and heard a burst of wailing in a hazelnut forest not far from Liangtianzhai.

"Hey, what's that call?" Zhang Shaofei followed the direction of the cry and came to the depths of the hazel forest.

Sunlight shines through the dense canopy, casting swaying spots of light onto the ground. Under a large hazel tree with pimpled bark, two monkeys with brown fur put their long hands into the small wooden box and shouted "whoa, whoa."

When the two monkeys saw Zhang Shaofei holding a small hoe in his hand and carrying a bamboo basket on his back, they thought he was a hunter who had come to catch them, and they screamed in panic, trying to struggle to escape but could not pull their hands out of the wooden box. On the light red face, the pair of round eyes were full of tears, looking at Zhang Shaofei, frightened inside, pleading inside.

"What's going on?" Zhang Shaofei came to the big hazel tree not far from the monkey, stopped and observed carefully for a while, and then realized: "These two monkeys were caught by the trap laid by the hunters. ”

It turned out that there were many monkeys in the dense forest of Yunwu Mountain, and the hunters in the mountain knew that the monkeys loved to steal fruits, so they dug a small hole in the small wooden box, and the size of the hole was just enough for the monkey's hand to reach into. Inside the wooden crate are the monkeys' favorite fruits. The greedy monkey smells Traine, and when he comes to the wooden box, when he finds fruit in the small hole, he will reach into the hole and steal it. It's easy for their empty hands to go straight into the hole, but the hand holding the fruit has taken the shape of a fist, and it's hard to retract it again. Monkeys are smart for a lifetime, but they are also ignorant in the face of greed. They don't want to let go of the fruit in their hands, so the harder they pull out, the tighter the hole gets into their hands and they can't break free. Mountain hunters often set up such traps to catch monkeys.

After Zhang Shaofei observed this method of "catching monkeys", his heart of pity suddenly rose, and when he saw the frightened state of the two monkeys who were trapped in the trap and couldn't extricate themselves, he stepped forward gently, showed a smiling face, made gestures, and calmly said to the monkeys: "Don't panic, I won't harm you." ”

Although the two monkeys couldn't understand what people were saying, they were extremely gifted creatures, and from Zhang Shaofei's friendly expression, they knew that this person had no malicious intent, and their hands were stuck in the wooden box and couldn't pull them out, so they couldn't pull out their legs and run away, so they had to let it go.

Zhang Shaofei pinched his chin and stared intently at the small wooden box and the trapped monkey, how to rescue them? Oh Qing, having an idea in his heart, took the small hoe and slammed it down towards the top of the small wooden box, and with a "pop", the small wooden box was smashed open. Seeing that the monkey's hand was still greedily clutching a banana, he smiled and said, "You glutton, no wonder you are doing it to yourself." Then he pulled the monkey's hand holding the banana away, and slowly dragged its hand out of the hole.

Repeatedly, Zhang Shaofei smashed two small wooden boxes and rescued the two monkeys.

Zhang Shaofei stretched out his hand and pointed to the depths of the dense forest, and said to the two monkeys: "You guys, you are harmed by greed, you should pay attention in the future!" Let's go. ”

Strange to say, the two monkeys did not leave immediately, but stepped forward and pulled Zhang Shaofei's trousers in a friendly manner, this time the "whoop, whoosh" cry was no longer frightened, but expressed their joy and gratitude.

Zhang Shaofei squatted down, gently stroked their fur, and read the information that they wanted to make friends with him from the monkey's eyes, so he said kindly: "You two, I'll give you a name, your name is Ah Zuo, your name is Ah Right, okay?" ”

The two monkeys seemed to understand Zhang Shaofei's words and nodded.

Zhang Shaofeiyang pointed in the direction of Liang Tianzhai and said, "Let's go, I'll live there, and you will come to play with me when you have time in the future." ”

"Whoa, whoa!" The two monkeys understood Zhang Shaofei's meaning, shouted happily, and fought a few somersaults, then waved at Zhang Shaofei, turned around, jumped, and fled towards the depths of the dense forest.

Zhang Shaofei looked at the small wooden box that was smashed by him, smiled, took the small hoe, picked up the bamboo basket, and went up the mountain.

Zhang Shaofei drilled into the bushes, went down the deep stream, went up the hillside, entered the grass, climbed high and low, sweating, and his cheeks and hands were scarred by thorns.

From noon to dusk, Zhang Shaofei's legs were almost broken.

The setting sun leaves a veined afterglow, dyeing the forest golden.

The crimson sunset spreads all over the sky. The homing finch swirls around the tree.

Zhang Shaofei returned to Liangtianzhai with a basket full of mountain herbs and stepped into the gate of the courtyard.

Liang Futian was repairing the rotten wooden box, turned his head when he heard the sound, and complained: "Ah Neng, you returned with a full load today, I am miserable." ”

Zhang Shaofei didn't know why: "What's so miserable?" ”

Liang Futian was angry, pointed to the rotten wooden box and said, "The wooden box I placed on the side of the hazel forest to catch monkeys has been smashed. Hmph, if I knew who was doing the sabotage, I would break his foot bones. ”

Seeing that Liang Futian was angry, Zhang Shaofei laughed and stretched out his right foot: "Uncle Futian, you can break my foot bones first." ”

Liang Futian was stunned, pondered, and pointed at Zhang Shaofei: "Ah, you are the one who smashed the wooden box?!" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Shaofei nodded.

Liang Futian: "Ahem, my wooden box is used to catch monkeys, why did you smash it?" ”

Zhang Shaofei said frankly: "When I went up the mountain, I saw two monkeys in the hazel forest reaching into the wooden box you had installed, but they would not pull out their hands, and they screamed miserably, which was so pitiful. I had to smash the crates and let them go. ”

"I see." Zhang Shaofei in front of him is his savior, what are those two wooden boxes in comparison? How could Liang Futian blame him at this time.
