Chapter 5 Golden Carp
It's another half moon in a flash.
The southeast wind is tight, and it is the time to cross the ocean.
"Wait until I get back. ”
The little monkey picked the fruit of a small grass and ignored the pain of the grass.
Put it in your mouth and chew it, and your mouth will be full of bitterness.
The monkeys were told to take care of the grass, and in the call of the grass, the little monkey resolutely jumped on the raft made of dead wood, which was filled with fresh water filled with fruits and coconut gourds to the greatest extent, propped up the penny, and drifted down with the strong wind.
"Xiaocao, I will definitely come back with a supernatural power to help you transform into a shape, and I will also help you figure out what you are?" Looking at Huaguo Mountain from afar, the little monkey silently recited in his heart until he disappeared into the depths of the sea, and he could no longer see a trace of Huaguo Mountain.
This is a blessed monkey who has been adrift in the sea for three whole months without encountering a single major wind and wave.
It's just that there will always be only a deep blue sea and a clean blue sky here, and there will always be a boundless scene of sea and sky in all directions. Yes, four or five days after going out to sea, the little monkey was already lost in the sea. It then drifts aimlessly until three months later, when the raft is depleted of fruit and fresh water.
The little monkey was uncontrollably frightened, and although he was still following the wind, he threw up the penny to speed up the raft.
Three days later, he finally collapsed from exhaustion.
Hungry and thirsty.
The sun seemed to be unusually scorching, scorching his lips and devouring the moisture in his body bit by bit.
After a long period of soaking in the sea, his skin was pale and wrinkled, and his golden monkey hair was becoming dull day by day.
Another three days.
The little monkey's consciousness had begun to blur.
It felt like the soul was starting to lighten, as if it was about to float out of the body.
I felt my body getting heavier again, sinking little by little, into the bottomless abyss of darkness.
Although before going out to sea, an old monkey repeatedly told him that drinking seawater will only make him more and more thirsty.
He still opened his mouth in confusion, letting the sea splash in his mouth.
There was no way back for him, he just instinctively made some struggles, useless struggles.
As soon as the salty sea water entered his throat, it was like salt sprinkled on a wound, like a knife, cutting through his dry and smoking throat.
Severe coughing.
Retching.
until the body begins to twitch.
Blurred.
The little monkey vaguely saw a huge portal, majestic and illusory, lying between the sky and the sea.
A golden light shot out from the sea and leaped towards the giant gate.
"Boom Boom"
Originally, the sky was clear, but suddenly there was thunder on the ground.
Countless pillars of thunder appeared out of thin air.
Qi thundered down on the lonely and small golden light.
The golden light was bathed in thunder, still unyielding, stubbornly knocking on the giant door.
The giant gate did not move.
The mirage-like gate vanished, and the golden light fell straight down.
Landing on a bamboo raft of a baby monkey.
It's a carp, a golden carp.
There was blood oozing from his mouth and back, golden blood. Almost half of the gold scales on his body were missing, especially the tail of the fish, which was scorched by lightning and gave off a pungent smell of fish.
The little monkey in a daze was excited, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he grabbed the golden carp and sent it to his mouth.
It's just that when the fish came to his mouth, the little monkey hesitated again.
He remembered that in Huaguo Mountain, he had said that he had never thought of harming any living beings.
I don't want to do it, I don't want to, my heart is like this.
He held the golden carp, the golden carp was motionless, and the golden blood dyed the dull hair of the little monkey's palm golden and bright again.
The golden carp blinked hard and slowly.
It's alive.
The little monkey stared at the golden carp in his palm in a daze, as tired as he was, and as dying as him.
From the eyes of the golden carp, the little monkey saw the same desire as him.
Eager to live!
Like the baby monkeys, they all have the desire and instinct to survive.
A monkey and a fish, silently looking at each other.
One struggles inwardly, the other prays silently.
It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a century was long.
The little monkey once again ran out of strength, his body tilted, and he collapsed on the bamboo raft again.
The golden carp slipped from the palm of the little monkey's hand, and fell into the sea through the gap in the bamboo raft.
"Look, it's not that I don't want to eat you, it's just that I really don't have the strength to eat you. The little monkey breathed a weak sigh of relief and smiled reluctantly.
The golden carp was so badly injured that it didn't even have the strength to swim, so it could only keep sinking into the depths of the sea.
Its pupils shrank one by one, and through the gap in the bamboo raft, the little monkey's face was reflected clearly.
The little monkey was unwilling, and with a little open-mindedness that was squeezed out, he said silently.
"Death is death, it's just, Xiaocao, I'm sorry. ”
His eyelids sank, and he finally lost consciousness.
It's just that the misfortune is not a one-way street, and the little monkey's good luck is finally exhausted.
The first rainstorm at sea enveloped him.
The beast of the sea finally bared its fangs. Waves of stormy waves smashed the little monkey's bamboo raft to pieces.
The little monkey in a coma left behind strings of weaker and weaker blisters, which continued to sink to the bottom of the sea.
It was as if it had returned to chaos again, to the beginning, and had become a stone, and a flame seed was beating in the stone.
In the dark and deep sea, a lone flame, looming, slowly went out.
As he was about to return to the beginning, the little monkey vaguely saw that the sea had been torn open, and a soft light burrowed into the sea, and in the cold water, the light wrapped him warmly.
It's like substance.
......
A year later.
Nanzhan Buzhou.
A remote fishing village near the sea.
On the edge of the fishing village lives a helpless elderly couple who moved to the fishing village with a cow more than 30 years ago and have stayed there. Although the husband and wife live poorly, they have always been loving, but for more than 30 years, they have never conceived a son and a half daughter, and they are lonely when they are old.
To add insult to injury, the elderly woman was blinded again.
This disease and that disease will follow.
He has to take care of his wife, and he has to go out to sea to fish to make a living, and the old man ages faster.
Someone in the fishing village persuaded the old man to sell the old cow that was at least 30 years old in the family and give the old woman medical treatment, but the old man refused.
And it wasn't until a year ago that the embarrassment of the elderly changed.
Seeing that his wife's health was getting worse and worse, the old man decided to go out and go to a deeper and farther sea area, taking a risk, hoping to gain a bigger harvest, exchange some money, and buy some medicine for his wife.
That time he went to sea, it was the farthest sea the old man had ever been to in his life.
It's just that God played a joke on him, and for half a month, everyone thought that he was buried in the sea, and he came back.
It's just that he returned empty-handed and got nothing. No, he brought back a monkey.
In short, he risked his life to go out into the deep sea and retrieve a monkey.
Since the arrival of the monkey, changes have quietly taken place in the old man's house.
It is a human spirit monkey that is familiar with and learns human life in a very short time.
Herding cattle, taking care of the vegetable garden, lighting a fire to cook, fetching water and laundry, such as the daily little monkey is self-taught.
The villagers were amazed.
At the suggestion of the villagers, the old man occasionally took the little monkey to the market in the big city, played a few monkey tricks with the monkey, and won a few rewards.
Sometimes the monkeys will also go to some inaccessible mountains and forests on their own initiative to bring back some exotic reishi.
The old woman's illness and the old man's complexion are slowly improving.
