Chapter Twenty-Four: The Rabbit Who Loves Beef
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Rabbit Who Loves Beef
Wukong walked seven or eight miles along the official road indifferently, and behold, he was about to arrive at the gate of the city. He stopped, carefully examined, only to see the city in front of him is majestic and magnificent, the vermilion city wall is about ten zhang high, the wide city gate is open, the pavilions and pavilions in the city are faintly visible, and the streets are crowded with people, very prosperous.
What a magnificent giant city, Wukong secretly praised.
At this moment, there was a sudden roar of a beast in the air, and he hurriedly looked back, only to see in the low air in the distance, four white horses with long wings, pulling a luxurious and exquisite carriage, the horses' hooves stepped into the air, their wings spread, and they were whistling.
In front of the carriage stood a middle-aged man in black about thirty years old, holding a whip in his left hand and a whip in his right hand, looking at the giant city in front of him, his face full of pride. He saw Wukong looking up from the ground from a distance, his mouth was full of disdain, he gently patted the handrail of the carriage with his left hand, Pegasus hissed, immediately lowered his height, and went straight to Wukong.
"Stinky Taoist, get out of here." The middle-aged man pointed at Wukong obliquely and shouted angrily.
Wukong was startled, and after reacting, he was about to bend down to dodge, when he heard the strong wind blowing in his face
The black whip of the black sheath has been swept over. "I'm", Wukong scolded secretly, he quickly lowered his head, bent over, and his whole body lay on the ground, saying that he was in a hurry and that was fast, his body just lay on the ground, and he heard a horse neighing in the air three feet above his head, and when he looked up again, the middle-aged man and the carriage had landed firmly on the ground and went straight to the city gate.
It's so dangerous, Wukong stood up and patted the dust on his body, "NND, what kind of country is this? What kind of world? Even a car driver is so arrogant, it's really infuriating my grandson."
Along the official road, Wukong finally came to the huge city gate, looked up, and saw a huge stone deer statue standing at the city gate, and the towering city gate was engraved with three big characters: "The City of Giant Deer".
Walking into the city gate, I saw that the streets were paved with bluestone, and there were many shops on both sides of the road, and people came and went on the streets, which was very lively.
Wukong carefully inquired about it, only to learn that this is still the boundary of Beiju Luzhou, and this giant deer city belongs to the Great Liang Empire and is the imperial capital of the empire.
Goku found a clean inn to stay in, and after a short rest, he decided to go out and have a look. As the saying goes, "the big hidden in the city", since you are here, you will deal with it calmly, take a good turn, and by the way, see if you can listen to and hear some useful news.
Walking on the street, you can see the notice of Sun Wukong wanted everywhere, and the content told is almost all about Sun Wukong's deception and destruction of ancestors, great rebellion, betrayal of heaven, etc., nothing new;
He walked all the way, calmly, without attracting anyone's attention. After all, this is the capital of the Great Liang Empire, with a city area of tens of thousands of hectares and a population of tens of millions. He changed his appearance again, and as long as there was no treasure like the "Demon Mirror", it was really difficult to recognize him easily.
Walking in front of a teahouse called "Qinyuan Spring", Wukong saw that this teahouse was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it was very magnificent. He lifted his feet up to the fifth floor and sat down in a window position. He ordered a pot of tea, two baked cakes and three catties of cooked beef, and ate beef while drinking tea, listening attentively and paying attention to the situation around him.
Just now, he learned from the shopkeeper that this is the most high-end teahouse in the entire Julu City, with a six-story high, and the people who usually come and go are princes and nobles, either rich or expensive. Some cultivators, accustomed to the worldly worldliness, also like to come here for a while, and in addition to entertainment, they can also make friends and listen to the news.
Wukong chose this place because the teahouse, the place of wealth and nobility, is often also the place where important news is transmitted and flowed out, besides, when I went upstairs just now, I also found that the fifth and sixth floors are the highest, luxuriously decorated, and easy to observe the surroundings;
Wukong ate the beef, looking at the bustling crowd on the street below, thinking in his heart.
"Little Fourth, Young Master Ben caught a fresh hare today, hurry up and take it to the back kitchen and braise it for me", a voice suddenly sounded. Wukong turned his head to look, and a group of people came up the stairs, the first one was about twenty-four or five years old, gorgeously dressed, with a slightly yellow face, and dark circles under his eyes, and at first glance he looked like a person who stayed up all day and indulged in alcohol all year round;
A good-looking shopkeeper immediately greeted him when he heard the sound, pulling his neck and shouting, "Oh, isn't this Jia Shao and Zhen Shao, you two old people haven't been here for a long time, it's really a rare guest", Xiao Er smiled flatteringly.
"Go, go, go, don't be vulgar with me, annoying, hurry up, give this rabbit to Uncle I will wash it, braise it, and get a few good dishes and two jars of good wine." Na Jia Shao waved his hand, a look of disgust.
"Well, your second old man is still upstairs, the old place, sit down for a while, the wine and food will come soon", the second child took the rabbit from Jia Shao's entourage, and was about to go to the back kitchen, and when he turned around, he cursed in a whisper, "What kind of thing, I don't give a reward every time, it's really stingy."
Wukong didn't care, this was just a rich kid who didn't learn anything, but when he turned his eyes, he found that the injured rabbit seemed to be a little familiar. When I looked closely, I saw that the rabbit was fat and gray. A black arrow feather shot through its back, and the arrow pierced through its abdomen, which was very miserable, and at this moment, its big red eyes were looking at Wukong pitifully.
This, isn't this the gray rabbit I met on the road before who kept bowing his head and grazing, how did he become a prisoner of this gang of prodigal children.
Looking at the gray rabbit pleading, pitiful eyes, Wukong's heart couldn't help but soften. He immediately stood up and blocked the way of the shopkeeper, "This rabbit can't be eaten."
The little two were confused for a while, and they didn't know what to do.
Na Jia Shao and his gang had just walked around the corner of the stairs, and they were all stunned when they heard this. In the middle of the sound, Na Jia Shao withdrew his raised right foot, turned around, looked left and right, and shouted in a long voice: "Who is it? Who said this rabbit can't be eaten just now?"
"Immeasurable Buddha", Wukong waved the Buddha Zen in his hand and nodded at Na Jia Shao, "Fang Cai, it's the poor Tao who said that this rabbit can't be eaten."
"You"? Jia Shao stared at Wukong, and his face was instantly full of smiles: "This Taoist leader, you said that this rabbit can't be eaten, right?"
"Immeasurable Buddha", Wukong shouted in a decent voice, "Monks, should be compassionate, if the donor can be merciful, when it is like saving the common people, the poor way is set as the donor's compassion day and night, bless the donor with spring breeze, good luck."
"Hey, you little Taoist, your mouth is quite sweet, it's a pity, I want to eat rabbit meat today", after a pause, Jia Shao turned his head to look at his companion, and asked in a low voice: "Zhen Shao, what do you think, how to ......."
That Zhen Shao shook the paper fan in his hand lightly, straightened his round belly, and shook his head for a while, "I think this Taoist priest has a fairy wind and bones, and the monks don't speak, and then talk about it." He whispered close to Na Jia Shao's ear: "Besides, we have always lost gambling stones these days, or we will listen to this long word, let go of a rabbit, and change our luck"?
"Well, well", Jia Shao heard this, and suddenly opened his mouth, "Xiao Er, bring that rabbit over" He pointed to the rabbit and smiled, "Count you lucky rabbit."
"Immeasurable Buddha, the donor is so merciful, he will be proud of the spring breeze one day, and his wealth will be extensive", Wukong took the rabbit, and there was a burst of praise in his mouth, which made Jia Shao laugh. The group walked upstairs in laughter and play.
Seeing that Jia Shao and the others were gone, Wukong hurriedly hugged the rabbit and returned to his seat. He gently placed the rabbit on the stool, held the arrow feather in his hand, and asked softly, "Little rabbit, do you understand?" The rabbit stared at Goku for a moment, and finally nodded weakly.
"Hehe, it's good if you can understand", Wukong put his mind at ease, "Now, I have to think about getting this arrow out first, but the process of pulling out the arrow may be a little painful, can you bear it"?
The rabbit blinked and nodded again at Goku.
Wukong cast a little mana, and pointed into scissors, clicked, first cut off the exposed arrow on the rabbit's abdomen, and then pressed the rabbit's back with his left hand, gently input spiritual power, and lightly held the arrow body with his right hand, followed the direction of the wound, and quickly pulled it out, and heard a soft sound, and the broken arrow had been pulled out by Wukong.
Throwing away the broken arrow, Wukong quickly took out the wound medicine prepared in advance with his right hand, applied a layer of powder around the wound, and then tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes to carefully bandage the wound. After finishing the work, I looked at the rabbit again, and a pair of big red eyes were full of tears, but during the whole process, the rabbit was stunned and did not scream.
"Hehe, little rabbit, are you very strong", Wukong couldn't help but praise, he wiped the blood on his hands, grabbed a piece of beef with his hand and put it in his mouth, "Well, it tastes good, it's a pity, there are no carrots here, otherwise, I can give you an extra meal and make up for it."
The bandaged bunny now looks like it's wearing a gray vest. After the arrow was pulled out, the medicine was applied again, and the whole complexion improved. This is also thanks to the wound medicine left by the old man of the dragon turtle, and, now it seems that this medicine is really good.
Watching Goku eat beef piece by piece, with a satisfied look on his face, the little rabbit unconsciously smashed his little lips and looked at Goku pitifully.
Wukong was a little puzzled, did the rabbit still want to eat beef?
The rabbit's big red eyes were still staring at Goku's hand, and his little mouth couldn't help but smash it again.
"What? You don't want to eat beef, do you?" asked Goku curiously.
The little rabbit glanced at Goku with an embarrassed expression, and he nodded a little embarrassedly.
"Do you really want to eat beef?" Wukong exclaimed, he quickly realized that he was abnormal, his face was embarrassed, and he quickly turned his head to look around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said to the little rabbit: "Don't rabbits love carrots and vegetables?"
The rabbit nodded.
"Loves carrots a lot"?
The rabbit nodded.
"Then you want to eat beef too"?
The rabbit nodded again.
"But, rabbits, don't they all love carrots?"
The rabbit shook his head.
Wukong was a little speechless, what kind of rabbit is this?
However, looking at the rabbit's somewhat innocent eyes, Wukong softened a little, and for a long time, he asked weakly, "Eat only one piece"?
The rabbit hesitated for a moment, and then, desperately, nodded, "Squeak".
Ultimately.
The rest of the beef on the table was killed by the little rabbits.
Goku didn't eat a single piece.
That's two catties of cooked beef, how did this rabbit, such a small one, eat it, Wukong looked at the empty plate and wondered for a while.
Is this really a rabbit that only loves carrots?
