Chapter VII

Crossing is not an easy thing to do, it means letting go of all that is in the past.

And when the crossing is not very smooth, when there is only time to think freely, the only remaining memories become a huge burden on the mind.

The stone monkey drifting on the sea is in such a state, he not only misses Huaguo Mountain, but also misses his father, mother, classmates, teachers, mobile phones, televisions, and the Internet...... In short, I miss a qiē.

If he can go back, even if he is given ten Monkey Kings, he will not be interested.

When he was in Huaguo Mountain, he was running around to be able to survive, and he almost didn't have time to think about these things, but now......

All the past that had been inadvertently forgotten over the past few months came out at this time, tormenting him endlessly.

Staring at the eternally blue sky and the eternally blue sea all day long, thinking about these things over and over again is a feeling that seems to suffocate at any moment.

Several times he stared at the dark blue water below for hours, and almost jumped.

"Maybe if you're dead, you'll wear it back. He thought.

Looking back at the tent made of branches and leaves and the piles of fruit in it, he thought, "But if I don't jump, I'll die at any time." ”

The current situation is from the birth of Huaguo Mountain to drifting on the sea, when is he not struggling to the death?

Going to sea is actually a crazy move, and a raft, no matter how big, is no different from a fallen leaf. The stone monkeys may have rotted before they could finish eating the fruit.

I just hope that the fresh water in coconut shells will hold up to the other side of the sea.

"Maybe there's a storm tonight and the raft will be finished, and then I'll be finished. ”

"What are you talking nonsense? monkey. The canary glared at him fiercely.

Things are often good and bad spirits, and that night there really came a storm, and a big wave crashed over and the whole raft fell apart, and the whole monkey herd's three months of hard work came to naught.

After struggling for their lives in the sea all night, the monkey woke up the next day with only one large tree trunk left.

There was no water, no food, only canaries.

"Look, I said, don't say such unlucky things, what now?" the canary flapped its wings and chattered.

"I found ......"

"Found what?"

The monkey looked at the hot sun and said slowly, "I found that I was reluctant to die when I really wanted to die." ”

"You're sick!" the canary cried.

The monkeys already thought about this situation when they went out to sea. In fact, the only thing he relied on when he went to sea this time was the bird's unique sense of direction, which was equivalent to having a natural compass.

According to the predetermined direction, they were to take advantage of the monsoon to advance southwest to Nanzhan Buzhou, and then cross Nanzhan Buzhou to Xiniuhe Chau.

And in the current situation, even if there is a "compass", I am afraid that it will not help much.

Hurriedly flew into the sky, the canary panicked back and forth, and half a day later she flew back.

"See the island?"

"Nope. The canary shook her head in frustration.

"There is no water, there is no food, and the most important thing in this situation is to save the body. The stone monkey fell directly on the half-floating trunk of the tree, leaving only one tail wagging around.

"If you fly a little further, maybe ......"

"You go and find the island, as long as you find the island, we will be saved. The stone monkey said with half-squinted eyes.

"What if I find the island and can't find you?"

The canary is right, ocean currents are ever-changing.

It is not difficult to find an island with a sense of canary orientation, but once out of sight of the stone monkey, it is a huge problem whether you can meet the stone monkey again after finding the island.

To this question the stone monkey did not answer.

The finch and the monkey stayed at one end of the trunk, and remained silent for a long time, without saying a word.

It wasn't until the midday sun scorched the back of the stone monkey that the stone monkey spoke, "Go away, without me, you will definitely be saved." ”

"What about you?" asked the canary.

"I, I'm the Monkey King, my heaven and earth conceived spirit monkey, I definitely won't die so wolf. ”

The canary didn't understand, she just shook her head: "I'm not leaving, even if you can be saved if I leave, you won't be able to go anywhere." Didn't you say that you want to cultivate immortals and seek the Tao?"

"Why are you talking about all this now? You go, I won't blame you. ”

Despair is sometimes a relief, and he can't do anything in the face of the vast and boundless sea, but this is peaceful.

Maybe it should have died when he crossed over, and not every stone monkey can become the Monkey King. Perhaps, walking on a path like Monkey King is a very small chance in itself.

It's actually nothing to think about this failed attempt, it's just a little too reluctant to pull an innocent canary to die with you.

"I'm not leaving. The canary pricked up her eyes.

"If you stay, you'll only drag me down! Hurry up! If you don't go, you'll die!"

"I won't leave, I want you to take care of it! I want you to take care of it! I can do whatever I like! I won't leave!" the canary burst into tears.

The stone monkey's eye sockets also gradually turned red.

When he came to this world, he cried a lot, is Sun Wukong also so easy to cry?

But heroes should not have tears.

"From this point of view, I am not a hero. ”

In the blink of an eye, the first day passed.

By the time the sun rose the next day, the sea water had evaporated, leaving grains of salt hanging over the hairs. This made the stone monkey feel uncomfortable.

Worse still, hunger and thirst.

All kinds of feelings made him extremely irritable, but he didn't even have the strength to lose his temper.

And the island still can't even see the shadow, and if you want to find the island naturally with the current, this kind of luck is enough to buy a lottery ticket.

Looking at the other end of the trunk, the canary, which was crouching on the bark with its shrunken feet, had begun to weaken.

Death was already at their sight.

"Are you leaving?"

"Don't go. The canary said stubbornly.

The stone monkey didn't ask any more, he just stared at the sky quietly.

When the sun rose again on the sea on the third day, the stone monkey and the canary leaned together.

This made the stone monkey have to be careful not to press her, but he liked the feeling of snuggling up to each other.

"Are you leaving?"

"Don't go. It was the same answer, but the difference was that the canary's eyes were not open.

"Why do you have to cultivate immortals and seek the Tao? I've never seen a monkey like you. The canary asked.

"That's because I'm not a monkey. ”

"Not a monkey?"

"Actually, it's a monkey, it's just ...... In short, I'm no ordinary monkey. Actually, I should have gone to sea three hundred years later, so it would be fine. Maybe I'm too anxious. ”

"Why?"

"I don't know. ”

......

"Sparrow, do you have any wishes?"

"I'm a canary! Canary...... Forget it, I don't have the strength to bother with you. My wish...... I want to fly higher and farther, like an eagle. That way I can go to more places...... If I were an eagle, I would have found the island by now. ”

"There will be a day when you reach the three-star cave of the slanting moon and become an immortal, everything will be there. The monkey said.

"Can I fix it too?"

"Of course. ”

"What can I do after I finish cultivating?"

......

"Monkey, what are you cultivating immortals for?"

"For the sake of ...... I don't know, well, I think about it. I don't want to be an ordinary monkey anymore, I want to learn seventy-two changes and then find a place to be the king of the mountain, well, it's better to get a few more concubines, live a free life, and no longer have to be afraid of small roles like the money leopard. When the time comes, I will build you a palace like a human palace in Huaguo Mountain, in heaven and on earth, as long as you want, there is nothing I can't do. ”

"How many concubines do you have, but I know that several female monkeys drool when they look at you. ”

"Go, who wants a female monkey? Only a fairy will be worthy of me...... Well, glamorous vixens will do. ”

"Canary essence, can't it?"

The stone monkey stared at the bulging canary with wide eyes.

Well, this bull demon king can hook up with the fox spirit, and the snake spirit can get involved with the scorpion spirit. Think of this monkey spirit and canary spirit...... Doesn't seem to be a problem.

But isn't this not yet a refinement? Is love really beyond the species? Why do you feel so twisted?

"Okay, well, when I become the king of the mountain, I will send someone to tie you back to be the lady of the village. ”

"Hmm!" the canary nodded happily, lowered her head and jumped into the stone monkey's creaking nest and rubbed it, "You must remember to send someone to tie it up." ”

"But first of all, you have to be pretty when you take on a human form, or I'll regret it at any time. ”

"If it's not beautiful, I'll send someone to tie you back as a minister of the village. ”

“...... Is that okay?"

As time passed, the conversation continued, but the voice grew weaker and weaker.

The sun rises and sets on the sea, the clouds fly in the air, hunger, thirst, the scorching sun, and the cold sea breeze with moisture.

By the early morning of the seventh day, the canary and the stone monkey had fallen into a semi-comatose state.

In the haze, the stone monkey seemed to see a golden carp floating on the surface of the sea.
