Chapter 317: Monkeys and Humans
In the early morning, there was still some fog in the dense mountain air that had not yet had time to disperse.
The faint sunlight shines through the dense trees, leaving a little mark in the forest.
On the side of the stones, beside the paths, in the corners, many unnamed thorns and trees hung with crystal dew, which shimmered brilliantly in the refraction of the sun.
They thought they were the lucky ones chosen by God, and they showed off their stolen brilliance with great wanton, and then they were evaporated in an instant.
A petite figure suddenly emerged from this quiet landscape, throwing a touch of life into this deep green.
Yan Xiaowu tried her best to jump over a stream, and her small body shook twice before she stood firm.
He was holding a bouquet of wildflowers from nowhere, and he was carrying a small medicine basket behind him.
Yan Xiaowu squatted down, removed a moss-covered stone in front of her, pulled out the needle-like grass from the crack in the stone, and threw it into the medicine basket behind her.
She moved the stone back to its original position and continued on her way.
Yan Xiaowu's yellow hair was tied with a few rough and thin ropes and hung behind her little head. The pale cyan skirt swayed with the cheerful footsteps. The little face is flushed, and it may not be suitable for the cold and humid air in the mountains.
"Huh?"
Yan Xiaowu's wandering gaze and swaying body froze at the same time, and her brown pupils contracted slightly, making her clear eyes bigger and clearer.
"Master, Master, come and see, there's a person here, ah...... He's bleeding a lot!"
Yan Xiaowu roared and ran back, and the crisp and soft sound echoed in the mountains and forests.
The vitality that had just been thrown into the mountains and forests spread out like a tide in an instant.
The monkey looked at the little girl's back in the distance, and I don't know how long it took for her to lose consciousness again.
"Master, this is it. ”
Yan Xiaowu looked serious and pointed to the monkey under the tree and said.
Lao Langzhong held his knees and took a breath, looked in the direction pointed by the apprentice, raised his eyebrows, clenched his fists, and knocked on Yan Xiaowu's head lightly.
"Ah, Master, why did you hit me?"
Yan Xiaowu covered her head and puffed out her mouth to look at Lao Langzhong dissatisfied.
The old man snorted coldly and reprimanded: "You still dare to ask, it is clearly a monkey, so scared that you can't even tell the difference between a person and a monkey, what does it look like?"
"Huh?"
Yan Xiaowu wiped her eyes and looked under the tree, her little face confused.
"Master, but he obviously ......"
It's obviously a person, but the body hair is a little denser.
Lao Langzhong walked under the tree, swept his eyes over the monkey, sighed, and said, "It's not a big problem, maybe I just fell from the tree and broke some flesh." ”
After a pause, he looked up at the clear blue sky, squinted his eyes, and added, "Perhaps, from a higher place." ”
"Huh?"
Yan Xiaowu said nervously: "Did you break a bone or something?"
"I'll see. ”
Lao Langzhong lifted the robe in front of him, squatted down, prostrated in front of the monkey, and pulled out the obstacle that pressed the monkey's wound with his hand.
The problem is not big and it has not worsened.
He cautiously groped around the monkey and examined it.
The monkey's body looks thin and thin, but its muscles are unusually strong.
I think I've practiced.
It's a monkey demon.
The old man quietly examined the monkey's body.
"Huh?"
The old man leaned down, put his ear to the monkey's heart and listened for a while, and his expression gradually became a little ugly.
Yan Xiaowu saw that Master's expression was wrong, so she hurriedly ran over and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Lao Langzhong straightened up, stared at the monkey, and said a little distractedly: "He has no heart." ”
"Ahh
Yan Xiaowu looked at the unconscious monkey, bit her lip lightly, and looked worried.
In fact, she doesn't know what the heart does, so she naturally doesn't know what it will happen if she doesn't have the heart.
"No! No, no one can live without a heart. ”
Lao Langzhong woke up suddenly, his old face was rarely flushed, and he took Yan Xiaowu's little hand excitedly: "Let's go, leave him alone, a monkey without a heart, can't be saved." ”
"Master, he's obviously a human being. ”
Yan Xiaowu struggled to break free of the old man's hand and pointed to the back of the monkey's buttocks: "Look, he doesn't even have a tail." ”
"Stupid, he's a monkey!"
Lao Langzhong was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and stepped forward to grab Yan Xiaowu, but was dodged by Yan Xiaowu.
Yan Xiaowu insisted on his opinion: "He is human!"
"Master is a doctor, you can't see death without help!"
"He's a monkey!"
"It's human!"
"Monkey!"
"People!"
“......”
The two men are competing against each other.
In the mountains and forests, the little creatures who were about to find a shady place to start planning the day's arrangements after bathing in the morning sun poked their heads out one after another, looking curiously at the quarreling master and apprentice.
I don't know how long I have been fighting.
Lao Langzhong was finally defeated, bent down, and coughed bitterly: "Okay, you win, he's human." ”
Seeing this, Yan Xiaowu hurriedly stepped forward and stroked the back of the old man.
"Master, are you alright?"
Waiting for a while, Lao Langzhong stared at Yan Xiaowu quietly, staring at Yan Xiaowu and couldn't help but feel weak.
"Do you really want Master to save him?"
The old man asked Yan Xiaowu.
That look was so calm that Yan Xiaowu panicked inexplicably, and Yan Xiaowu almost cried.
"Master, I admit my mistake. Isn't it okay for him to be a monkey? But the monkey can't help it?"
"Don't cry, I'll help. ”
The old man stroked Yan Xiaowu's little head painfully.
He moved his gaze into the distance, and in his cloudy gaze, there was suddenly a charm that mortals should not have.
Yan Xiaowu seemed to feel something, and raised her head keenly, but all she could see was Master's chin and nostrils, and she couldn't see Master's eyes.
Of course, I can't see the light in Master's eyes.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. ”
The old man retracted his gaze, walked over to the monkey, and bent down.
"Xiao Wu, come over and help. Let's send him back to the cottage. ”
"Hmm. ”
After hesitating for a moment, Yan Xiaowu nodded.
It's just that, for some reason, the little girl suddenly had a kind of worrying about loss.
The old man carried the monkey on his back and walked down the mountain with trembling steps.
Yan Xiaowu was holding on to the back, her skirt hanging down, and she only shook it for a long time.
The monkey's body was unexpectedly heavy, but Lao Langzhong's mood was even heavier.
There are some things that hit the fate, and you can't escape it.
