Chapter 14: The leopard surrenders, and the yellow monkey is unscrupulous
The yellow monkey nodded.
Soon, according to Lao Litou's instructions, he went to the mountain to hunt a pheasant and roast it.
I still have some wine at home, but I don't need to buy it.
After preparing to stop, the yellow monkey helped Lao Li Tou to sit down, and he poured a bowl of wine for Lao Li Tou.
"Pour you a bowl too. Lao Li Tou said.
Hearing this, the yellow monkey was stunned.
"I know all about you stealing my wine. Lao Li said with a smile.
The yellow monkey smiled awkwardly, did not speak, and poured himself a bowl of wine.
Lao Li Tou tore a chicken leg, bit it hard, and drank the wine in a big gulp, he said while eating: "I can't do it." ”
The yellow monkey was puzzled.
Old Li Tou is obviously in good spirits.
"You eat too. Lao Li Tou tore a chicken leg and handed it to the yellow monkey.
The yellow monkey hurriedly reached out to pick it up.
"Come, have a bowl with the old man. Lao Li Tou said with a bowl.
The yellow monkey picked up the bowl, and Lao Li shook his head again and said: "Forget it, you can pour it in one sip, or don't drink it, this bowl of wine is down, you don't know how long you want to sleep, when you wake up, my corpse should stink, you still don't drink it." ”
The yellow monkey had no choice but to put down the bowl, take a bite of the chicken leg, and chew slowly.
"Old man, I know that you have always had something in your heart, because you always like to go to see the peaks in the clouds when you have nothing to do, although you don't say it, but I can guess that you were originally a monkey on that mountain. "Lao Li Tou's words today are extraordinarily much.
The yellow monkey was stunned, but did not speak.
There are some things that he doesn't want to mention, he doesn't want to remember, and he doesn't dare to think about them.
Lao Li Tou continued: "Old man, when I first met you, you were covered in injuries, presumably on that mountain, you were seriously injured, there was almost no possibility of life, but I didn't expect you to be cured by the old man, I really don't know if it was the old man, my medical skills are good or your life is hard." ”
The yellow monkey remained silent.
Lao Li Tou took a sip of wine, tore a large piece of chicken and put it in his mouth to chew.
"When I'm dead, just dig a pit in front of the door and bury me. You'd better not go to that mountain to seek revenge, if you have to, at least don't seek revenge now, since people can hurt you like that, it means that you are not someone else's opponent, and you will waste your life if you go. ”
The yellow monkey trembled uncontrollably at the thought of the unshared hatred, and he clenched his fists fiercely, as if anger was burning in his eyes.
"There is a jar under the bed, and there are some broken silver in the jar, which the old man and I have accumulated from fishing all these years, and you use the money to erect a stone tablet for the old man. Old Li babbled and explained the future.
The yellow monkey nodded.
Lao Li Tou suddenly said: "Old man, my name is Li Chunfeng, not Lao Li Tou, don't make a mistake when you erect the monument." ”
The yellow monkey secretly wrote it down.
"Okay, you go to the door and dig the pit deeper, don't bury it shallowly by then, it won't be good if the beast gouges out the old man's body and eats it. ”
The yellow monkey put down the half-eaten chicken leg in his hand and turned to go out.
It was getting dark, and it was already drizzling outside, so the yellow monkey jumped into the pit with a hoe and continued to dig.
The pit that was originally three feet deep was dug to a depth of about seven feet before the excavation stopped.
When the yellow monkey walked into the thatched house, Lao Li Tou had already fallen asleep on the ground.
Broken wine bowls and half-eaten roast chicken were scattered on the floor.
The yellow monkey stretched out his hand to test it, and found that Lao Li Tou was no longer breathing, and his body seemed to be a little stiff.
Lao Li Tou is really dead.
Looking at the skinny old man lying motionless on the ground in front of him, the yellow monkey's eyes flashed with tears.
He picked up Lao Li's body and walked out of the door step by step.
jumped into the pit and gently put the body of Lao Li into the deep pit that had been dug.
After confirming that Lao Li was not breathing, he jumped out of the pit.
With tears welling up in his eyes, he buried this lonely old man who had saved his life with a handful of soil.
I got along for more than two months, although I didn't have too much communication, but I also had a deep relationship like father and son.
Night, silence.
The stars are sparse and the moon is shining.
In front of the dilapidated thatched house, a lonely grave was erected.
In front of the lonely grave, the figure of the yellow monkey looks very lonely.
"The stele," muttered the yellow monkey as he looked at the bare grave.
There is only one shop in Cangwu Town to do tombstone carving, called 'Qian Ji Stone Carving Workshop', and the yellow monkey and Lao Li Tou used to go to the market to sell fish and pass by every day.
The shopkeeper's surname is Qian, and he is an honest man who eats by hand, and there is only one apprentice in the store.
"Knock knock!"
The money shopkeeper who had just fallen asleep heard someone knocking on the door, and the sound was very urgent.
"Who, knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" The money shopkeeper wondered, he opened a stone carving workshop, not a pharmacy, what was he doing knocking on the door so late.
There was no response from outside the door, just a constant knock on the door.
"Apprentice, go open the door and have a look. Old Qian instructed the apprentice.
The apprentice answered, put on his clothes, and went to open the door.
"Who?" the apprentice asked, opening the door.
"Ahh
The exclamations of the apprentices were heard at the door.
"What's wrong?" asked the money shopkeeper hurriedly.
"It's... It's a monkey. The apprentice's voice trembled.
The money shopkeeper asked, "Is it a monkey knocking on the door?"
"Yes. The apprentice replied.
"What is there to fear from monkeys?"
The money shopkeeper scolded and walked out with his coat on.
He glanced at the monkey and said, "Isn't this the monkey from the old plum head who sells fish?"
"I'm going to carve a stone tablet. The yellow monkey spread out his palms, and a few pieces of broken silver glittered in the moonlight.
"Demon... Youkai!"
Seeing the yellow monkey spitting out words, the money shopkeeper and the apprentice were shocked and hugged each other in panic.
Although I heard that the old Li Tou who sold fish had a very sensible yellow monkey, I had never heard that the monkey could speak human language.
The yellow monkeys wondered why they were so scared.
After all, Lao Li Tou was very calm when he first saw him talking.
"I'm going to carve a stone tablet. The yellow monkey said it again, and his voice rose a lot.
"What stone tablet do you want to carve?" asked the money shopkeeper tremblingly.
"The tomb of Li Chunfeng. The yellow monkey replied.
"Li Chunfeng, is it an old Li Tou who sells fish?"
The yellow monkey nodded.
The money shopkeeper asked, "He's dead?"
The yellow monkey nodded again.
"No wonder I haven't seen you sell fish for a few days. The money shopkeeper was stunned.
Then he said, "That... It's too late today, we're closing, and we'll come back tomorrow morning, right?"
"It's going to be today. "The yellow monkey's tone is unmistakable.
The money shopkeeper looked embarrassed, and the yellow monkey glared at him viciously, which frightened the money shopkeeper and his apprentice tighter.
"Okay, good, do it today. Seeing the yellow monkey's fierce face, the money shopkeeper hurriedly agreed.
The yellow monkey found a stone bench in front of the door and sat down, and when he saw that the master and apprentice of the money shopkeeper were still hugging each other, he scolded: "Don't do it yet?"
"Do it, do it, do it right away. ”
The master and apprentice were separated, and hurriedly brought the stele, found all the tools, traced and carved, and worked for most of the hour, and finally completed the carving of the stele.
"Li Chunfeng's Tomb!"
The yellow monkey was not very literate, and did not notice anything unusual, put down the broken silver, and disappeared into the night with a stone tablet of nearly three hundred catties.
Only the money shopkeeper and apprentice who were left like a dream were messy in the wind.
A yellow monkey less than four feet tall can speak human language, and he walks like a fly carrying a stone tablet that two people struggle to carry.
If it weren't for the broken silver left by the yellow monkey, the money shopkeeper and apprentice would not have believed that this thing was true.
