Clouds and mist around the mountainside, the mountain road is winding, the steps are counted three thousand nine hundred and eight, the white crane has a long chant and the cool breeze sweeps in, blowing up the fallen leaves on the mandarin duck tiles to meet the colorful glow in the sky.

People who first arrive in the town look up at the peak, only to see the clouds and mist changing, sometimes like a tiger pounceing on a sheep, sometimes like a rabbit eating grass, cute and extraordinary, breathtaking.

On the street, the shouts of hawkers rang out from time to time, and the pedestrians on the road stopped and stopped, so it was not lively.

"Little ghost, where are you coming from, don't get in my way of doing business. One of the vendors said angrily.

The gray-faced young man stared at the hot sweet potato in front of him and swallowed his throat, and after listening to the stall owner's words, he reluctantly moved to the side, but he was reluctant to take his eyes away.

"How much does this sweet potato cost? Get me one. The sound was crisp, like a bell, very pleasant, so that the young man on the side couldn't help but look over.

"Better looking than the widow of the king in the village. The young man couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, and at the same time moved to the side, for fear that his clothes would accidentally rub against others.

"Weller, this is your sweet potato, miss, and I promise a penny. The hawker moved sluggishly, and couldn't wait to hand the wrapped sweet potatoes to the delicate girl in front of him.

A copper coin fell into the palm of his hand, and when the vendor got the money, he smiled, and by the way, he looked at the gray-faced imp on the side.

"Come often, come often. The peddler hunched his waist and watched the delicate girl leave.

Who knows, the delicate girl stopped after taking two steps, looked at the dirty young man in front of her, smiled on her face, and her voice was like a bell: "Here you go, it's not good to be hungry." ”

With that, the delicate girl handed the hot sweet potato in her hand to the young man.

Maybe it's because I'm hungry, maybe it's because I was stunned by the beautiful girl, and when the boy reacted, the sweet potato was already in his hand.

"Thank you, little... Miss. The young man didn't know the name of the delicate girl in front of him, and he stuttered a little for a while.

"Giggles!!" the delicate girl covered her small mouth, and her bell-like laughter was very good, which made the boy blush.

"I'm not a young lady, my name is Pigeon, what about you?"

"My name is Su Mubai, and everyone in the village calls me... Call me Xiaobai, if you like it, you can also..."The young man's face was not particularly good-looking, and he twisted.

Pigeon's eyes lit up, and he stuck out his tongue and said, "Su Mubai, your name is really delicate." I have to go, or I'll be criticized, goodbye. ”

The delicate girl Pigeon waved her hand and walked to the other side of the street, Su Mubai's right hand had just been raised halfway, so she had to put it down.

"Tsk, you are also lucky to meet the pigeon girl in Washington. The peddler said with a kind face, and then turned his face tense: "The food is in your hands, why don't you leave, little ghost, are you still waiting for others to give you another alms?"

The young man's face turned red, and he did not refute the hawker's words, but walked towards the less crowded place with his shoulders bowed and his head bowed.

After walking for a long time, the boy felt that the sweet potato he was holding in his hand was about to be cold.

The boy looked up and found that he seemed to have walked into a remote part of the town, and there were hardly any pedestrians in sight.

Withered vines and old trees, a wall, it seems to be a temple inside, but the bricks and tiles are broken a lot, and even the roof of the temple is broken with a big hole.

However, the young Su Mubai was overjoyed, holding the sweet potatoes and hurriedly speeding up his steps towards the broken temple.

As soon as Su Mubai walked into the broken temple, he sat on the hay, looked at the sweet potato in his hand, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly ate it.

After a while, Su Mubai, who had finished eating sweet potatoes, lay down on the ground with a satisfied look, looked at the top of his head, and suddenly jumped up from the spot.

After half a salary, Su Mubai sat back on the hay with a red face, and scolded himself in his heart: "Su Mubai, you are going to become a flying immortal in the future, how can you be frightened by a stone monkey statue." ”

Night falls silently, and darkness engulfs the outstretched fingers.

The strange sound kept ringing, like the sound of the wind, like the sound of animals moving, like the sound of Su Mubai himself rubbing against the hay.

Su Mubai, who heard the strange voice, couldn't help but be a little nervous, and subconsciously grabbed the hay under him, and saw the moonlight penetrating through the hole in the temple roof, and happened to shine on the stone monkey.

It is strange that the stone monkey sits on a four-foot-high altar, which is not only undamaged, but also clean and dust-free.

Su Mubai coughed twice, walked to the stone monkey statue with courage, and climbed up to the altar, only to hear the words muttered in his mouth.

"Brother Monkey, I'm afraid that you will be scared at night, so I came to accompany you to be a companion for you, and you must remember me well. ”

Su Mubai felt that his feet were steady, and he looked at the stone monkey by the moonlight.

The stone monkey sat cross-legged on the altar, holding his cheeks and looking straight ahead, which made Su Mubai feel a very comfortable feeling from the stone monkey.

It's ridiculous.

Su Mubai could only secretly praise the craftsman's workmanship, and then he enshrined the platform on the bed, and the stone monkey kneeled on the pillow and lay down.

Lying down, Su Mubai, who had been walking for most of the day, looked at the bright moon in the sky, the upper eyelids and the lower eyelids kept fighting, and after a while, he tilted his head and fell asleep.

This sleep, Su Mubai had a dream.

He dreamed of the kind village chief grandfather of Fan Village, the hateful Erhuzi, Aunt Li who often gave himself candy, and Da Fat, who often said that he couldn't eat fat...

The sweet potato suddenly turned into roast chicken, and it wanted to 'slowly' slip away under his nose.

"Don't, my roast chicken, don't go!" Su Mubai stretched out his hand, feeling that he had grabbed the roast chicken, and raised his head to bite down.

"Whoosh~~"

A cool breeze blew, making Su Mubai shiver coldly and immediately sober up.

Seeing the stone monkey's left arm that was almost bitten down, Su Mubai felt a little toothache, and hurriedly stood up and said to the stone monkey with his palm, "Brother Monkey, I just wanted to eat... Uh, catch the roast chicken. ”

"Goo-" The stomach is very tacit

Su Mubai looked through the hole in the top of the temple, and found that the sky had just turned white, and he wanted to go out to find something to eat, so he jumped off the altar and walked outside the broken temple.

Su Mubai yawned and strode forward, suddenly feeling that he had stepped on something, and his heart was full of joy.

A twig...

"I'll kick!"

"Smack-" The branch kicked far away and hit the wall, and Su Mubai suddenly felt comfortable and wanted to go out.

"Hiss... Hiss... Hiss..."

The sound came one after another, which made Su Mubai a little uneasy, and this familiar voice reminded him of the snake that was once used by Erhuzi to scare him.

Su Mubai was cautious, and walked out of the fence.

Suddenly, a small snake spat out with a snake letter came out of nowhere.

Immediately after that, a snake, two snakes, three snakes...... One after another.

Su Mubai was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted.

"Mom!"

And he ran into the ruined temple.

One by one, the snakes suddenly twisted their bodies and chased after them.

"Hissss

Su Mubai only felt that his legs had infinite strength, and he kicked people and jumped his hands to support him, and he actually got on the four-foot-high altar in an instant.

When I looked up, I saw small snakes all over the ground.

Su Mubai hurriedly shrunk his somewhat weak legs, curled up and leaned against the stone monkey and chanted something in his mouth.
