Chapter 7 Brewing Monkey Wine

The area of the Water Curtain Cave is not as large as expected. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the rain cave is a three-bedroom apartment, then the water curtain cave is equivalent to a villa, although it has its own back garden.

The stone monkey led the monkeys around the water curtain cave.

Except for the entrance to the cave, the water curtain cave was blocked by towering cliffs on all sides. The smooth cliffs are not something that a monkey can climb. And there are only peach trees here, and there are peach trees all over the place. There are also no rivers and the ground is flat. Of course, the legendary Monkey King's throne has not been found.

Despite the stone monkey's dissatisfaction with the water curtain cave in front of him, the water curtain cave is not useless. At least there are enough peaches here, and he can eat them as he pleases, giving him the feeling that he can't finish eating them. The temperature here is very comfortable, although there are days and nights, but there is no temperature difference in the morning and evening, so it can be said that the temperature is constant.

The old monkey has given the order: move, move from the old rain shelter and settle here. The black cave should not be the place where the monkeys should live, the blue sky and white clouds are the pursuit of the monkeys. Endless peaches are the ideal for monkeys.

Now that his boss already has an order, the stone monkey has no choice but to accept his fate, and there is nothing to resist. After all, the environment in the water curtain cave is still very beautiful, and the most important thing is not to worry about catching a cold. After all, there is no white and black here, white tablets are taken during the day and black tablets are taken at night.

With the arrival of stone monkeys, there are more and more belongings of the monkeys, and the monkeys are busy going back and forth, climbing up and down. For this kind of manual work, of course, the stone monkey will not do it himself, no matter how he is the second in the monkey group, it is good to point fingers on the side.

That night, the stone monkey proposed to hold a bonfire in the rain cave to celebrate the housewarming.

But for the monkeys, tonight seems to be no different from usual, catching fish, catching rabbits, grilling fish, cooking meat, picking fruits, etc., and then everyone eats and sleeps, and the campfire is just a bigger fire!

It's a big regret in life to have meat and no wine, although I am a monkey now, but all animals have a love of wine.

When the monkey thinks of wine again, the term 'monkey wine' naturally comes to the stone monkey's mind.

But it is a bit unreliable to ask the old monkey directly if there is any monkey wine in the monkey group, after all, the word 'wine' should be the first time for the old monkey to hear it! Why don't you talk about the brewing of 100 fruits? No, the old monkey probably won't understand it.

Think about how monkey wine is made and ask again, and then the old monkey should be able to understand.

According to popular science, monkey wine was found in tree hollows, and it was the food that the monkeys stored for the winter, and later forgotten, and most of these foods were fruits. Monkey wine is made by the natural fermentation of these fruits in a closed tree hollow.

Thinking of this, the stone monkey immediately asked the old monkey, "Do you know where the monkeys used to store their food before winter?"

The old monkey didn't bother to answer this question about the stone monkey, and while using his fingernails to pick out the roast meat stuffed between his teeth, he pointed to the horse monkey playing with his fingers, and motioned to the stone monkey to ask the horse monkey to go.

The horse monkey was obviously stunned by the stone monkey's question, and subconsciously said: "In the past, how could the monkeys have eaten enough! It's very bad to be wasted! It's going to be beaten by grandpa!"

In the past, the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain would not have had such a miserable life, right? It seems that there will be no monkey wine!

But it's not too late to start brewing, anyway, now the monkeys have switched to meat, and there are as many peaches as there are mountains in the Water Curtain Cave. It seems that tomorrow all we have to do is find some tree holes, preferably larger ones. I think I'll be able to drink monkey wine by next year at the latest.

After cleaning up, the stone monkey followed the monkeys back to the water curtain cave and slept. Of course, before this, each monkey had its own strict bed, and a series of water curtain cave rules were also promulgated by the stone monkeys.

First: It is strictly forbidden to defecate in the water curtain cave!Second: Do not break even a peach tree branch in the water curtain cave! Third: Before entering the water curtain cave, every monkey must wash at the entrance of the waterfall cave! Fourth......

And the best way for these monkeys to memorize these rules is to get them wrong, and they won't be allowed to eat for a day!

At first, there were always monkeys fouling, but after a few days of starving them, no monkeys committed any more! The effect was very significant, and the stone monkeys were proud of it for a long time.

Of course, the cave can't regulate the old monkey!

Finding tree holes is just a trivial matter for the monkeys running around the mountains.

After a dozen tree holes were filled with fruit, the stone monkey sealed the tree holes with stones. It is foreseeable that next year the monkey wine will be very large! Although the stone monkey used to pour three glasses of beer.

I've been busy with monkey wine for the past few days, and I don't have time to see how the salt pond is dry.

This afternoon, the stone monkey came to the beach, and the sea water in the salt pond was long gone!

Could it be that the sun is too full these days, and the sea water has evaporated? But if it is evaporated, there should be coarse salt precipitation at the bottom of the pool!

The stone monkey jumped into the salt pond and touched the bottom of the pond with his hand, but only touched one hand of sand!

Holy! The sea has seeped into the sand! No wonder a pool of sea water is gone so quickly!

But there seems to be no way to stop the seawater from seeping, right? There is no cement, no plastic film, and there is no cauldron to boil salt!

After thinking about it for a long time, there was no good way! The stone monkey couldn't help but try, and licked the cliff like other monkeys. Hey, in addition to being bitter, it's still a little salty. Okay! Just be a primitive monkey. After all, it's okay to be down-to-earth, and you can't be high and low! It's okay to listen to the Riba people to change their tastes.

Just as the stone monkey was wondering whether to lick it again, the horse monkey called out to him loudly at the mouth of the beach cave, saying that the old monkey was looking for him in the water curtain cave and asked him to go back quickly.

What could it be? The old monkey had never looked for himself before! Could it be that there was something wrong with his work lately? No. Or is it that some monkeys in the monkey group have overstepped the level and said bad things about themselves to the old monkeys?

I came to the old monkey with trepidation, but I didn't expect the other monkeys to be there. Even the horse monkey, the little monkey, stood aside.

Seeing that the stone monkey had come, the old monkey motioned for everyone to be quiet first, and then said solemnly: "The Water Curtain Cave was found by the stone monkey! According to the rules handed down from our ancestors, we must respect the stone monkey as our king. From now on, he will be our monkey king! Of course, he will still be the second in the monkey pack!"

What? I heard you right! If you become the king, you are still the second! Do you want to be the second in 10,000 years? The stone monkey secretly felt melancholy in his heart!

Looking at the monkeys around him, it seems that none of the monkeys take him seriously as a king. When the monkeys saw that the old monkey had finished speaking, they all dispersed. None of the monkeys greeted the stone monkeys.

What do you say hello? It's not time to eat! Although the stone monkey will no longer be called the stone monkey in the future, it will be called the king instead. But what is a king? The monkeys don't know. In their hearts, the king is just a title! Although the king is the second eldest of the monkey group, they don't care about the king when they are not at dinner time, so what should everyone do.

After the ancestral rules were finished, the old monkey planned to squint for a while, after all, it was easy to get tired when he was old.

That's it. Shouldn't we talk about calling ourselves the Monkey King, the Monkey King, the Monkey King, or something?

"Stone monkey, oh! No, I should call you king in the future. But it's still a stone monkey that's more palatable. Would you like to catch rabbits together?" asked the horse monkey, pulling the yellow hair from the stone monkey's leg.

The stone monkey, who was still stunned, obviously didn't react to the horse monkey's question: "What? rabbit?

Seeing the stone monkey's reaction, the horse monkey muttered: "It turns out that being a king will treat monkeys as stupid! No wonder there were no monkeys in the monkey group called kings in the past!"

"What stupid?" the stone monkey was clearly not in shape.

"Ahh I'm going to catch rabbits, remember to call me when you're eating!"

Hey! The Monkey King is gone! Although he is the king, the second child is still the second! The Monkey King! What a beautiful name! Goodbye, my favorite! Goodbye, Monkey King! Then let's eat the original roast rabbit for lunch today, add a peach, no, another banana! A big meal can calm my wounded heart.

This is the underworld, the ghost gate is facing east, and the bridge is facing north.

After Niu Tou and Ma Mian received the order from Judge Cui, they took Huaguo Mountain. The horse's face walked in front, and the bull's head followed.

"Brother, brother, you wait for the little brother. My hooves can't keep up with your horses' feet!, don't be in such a hurry?" the bull called out to the horse at a trott behind him.

"Don't be in such a hurry? Do you know how far Huaguo Mountain is from us? That's 200,000 miles! 400,000 miles back and forth! The judge only gave us seven days to go on a business trip!" Ma Mian didn't slow down as he said this.

"Seven days is enough!Did my brother forget that when we were on break last time, we owe money to us for playing cards in black and white?" said Niu Tou with a mysterious expression.

Hearing this, Ma Mian finally stopped, and asked suspiciously: "Haven't you forgotten! What's wrong? They can't afford to pay their bills? The last time they played cards, King Yama was also there! I don't think they have the guts!"

"No! No, they wanted to postpone it for two months, as if it was because they had overdrawn the two hats!" the bull head quickly explained.

As long as you pay back the money, you still have to wait for two months. Ma Mian asked curiously: "Are those two hats that 'you're here too' and 'I'm catching you'? These two hats are magic weapons in the underworld! If they are custom-made, two months' salary doesn't seem to be enough!"

Ma Mian hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes! Two months' wages were not enough, so they borrowed money from King Yama. ”

"That's not too much wrong, it's enough!, what are you talking about?" asked Ma Mian.

The bull head whispered: "The mana of black and white impermanence is much higher than that of our brothers, if you ask them to give us a ride?

"Yes, if we don't pay back the money, how embarrassed they are to refuse us. Just let them give us a ride!At least we can save three days!" Ma Mian agreed without thinking about it.

The stone monkey found that the old monkey had become more and more sleepy lately, and his appetite did not seem to be very good, and he could not even eat a single of his favorite boiled fish. He must be sick! Otherwise his face wouldn't be so pale.

But I don't seem to have much other way than to persuade him to eat more. Now, apart from asking the other monkeys not to disturb him and let him have a good rest, the only thing left is to spend more time with him.

It's been two days since the bull-headed horse came to the Water Curtain Cave, but no monkey has been able to spot them. After all, one is a ghost, and the other is a mortal with the naked eye.

In the past two days, the perception of the bull-headed horse in the face of monkeys has been completely refreshed, from the initial surprise, surprise, and shock, to the current surprise. Now if someone tells them that a sow can go up a tree, they believe it too.

Floating in the air staring at the old monkey, the bull head said to the horse boredly: "I have to wait for another hour or three, it's really boring!"

Ma Mian, who was floating on the side, responded: "Who made you so anxious, I said that I would play in the underworld for two days and then let black and white impermanence send us over, you don't, you have to come over immediately." ”

"I know that black and white are so fast! It only took half an hour to get to Huaguo Mountain. The bull head defended himself.

"Wait, the old monkey's time is almost up. Did you say that we were invited by the barefoot immortal last time?" said Ma Mian.

"I can't go if I want to! The judge won't give us leave. Even if the leave is granted, our wages will be deducted. Go, no matter how you think about it, it's not cost-effective. Besides, brother, isn't your son about to give birth? Niu Tou said helplessly.

At the mention of his soon-to-be-born son, Ma Mian looked excited. My son is about to give birth! After returning from this trip, I should be able to take a few days off and spend time with my wife at home.

Niu Tou couldn't stand the appearance of Ma Mian the most, isn't it that his son is about to give birth, he needs to be so excited, and said angrily: "Okay! Okay! I'll work for my brother for a few days after I go back." But let's talk about it now, brother, you must treat you in the future!

"Good, good, good! What do you think my son will be like when he is born?" asked Ma Mian, staring at the bull's head.

"What else can it look like! Isn't it just a horse's face, a human body, and a horse's feet! Just think about what you looked like when you were a child!" replied the bull head speechlessly.

Of course my son is like me. Ma Mian, you have to wrap a big red envelope then!" Ma Mian patted the cow's head and shoulder.

"It's time! Hurry up and work! I'll talk about the red envelope later!" Niu Tou saw that Ma Mian mentioned the red envelope, and quickly changed the topic. Hey! It's money again, and it's going to bleed again! My money bag, when are you going to puff up!

Just as the bull head and horse face rejected the old monkey's soul and was about to return to the underworld, the Bodhi ancestor suddenly appeared in front of them.
