Chapter 3: Monsters and Stones
The orangutan brother tied a twenty-kilogram stone to the stranger and threw the stranger into the river. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info He has seen humans kill dogs, and this is how they are used. The weight of the stone would drag the tied dog to the bottom of the river, drowning the dog alive.
Although the orangutan brother knew that the stranger would surely die, he waited on the shore for more than five minutes to be on the safe side, and only when the water was calm did he turn away and return to his dwelling to steam the delicious meat of the beast. When the smell of animal meat wafted out, a stranger came in and opened the pot to eat the meat.
"Don't worry, it's not cooked yet, you have to steam it for a while. The orangutan brother subconsciously said, and when he came to his senses, he was stunned again, "Haven't you sunk to the bottom of the river and drowned?"
"I sank to the bottom of the river, and at first I was at the bottom of the river, and I felt very comfortable and cool, but then I couldn't breathe, and I felt very uncomfortable, so I swam up. The stranger said.
"But you deserve to die, you forgot, I executed you. Orangutan brother said.
"I know you want me to die, but I don't want to die, and if you can't kill me, I'll have to do what I want. The stranger said.
This time, the orangutan brother used a hundred pounds of stones, and he didn't believe that someone had a hundred pounds of stones tied to his body and swam up from the bottom of the river. He kept watch on the shore for ten minutes, and then went back to look after his meat.
"It's going to be steamed for more than half an hour. ”
The orangutan brother was startled and jumped away, and it was a stranger again, giggling, standing in front of him with a look of idleness, and cheekily eating a large piece of his meat.
The orangutan brother used 200 catties, 300 catties, and 400 catties...... Until he could no longer move heavier stones, but each time the stranger came back to him unharmed and ate his flesh.
"What kind of monster are you?" said the orangutan brother this time.
"I don't know who I am, but since you like stones so much, you can call me stones from now on. The stranger said with a grin.
"I don't call it anything, it doesn't matter what you call it, you're going to die anyway. I'm asking you why you can't die. The orangutan brother said seriously.
"I don't know why I can't die, but once I was eating peaches on a peach tree on the top of a mountain and accidentally fell asleep. I woke up and realized that I had fallen from a tree to the bottom of the mountain, but I was unharmed, and then I tried several times, using different postures, to jump from the top of the mountain, but each time I was unharmed. If you ask me why, I don't know. I've forgotten all about the past. The stranger said.
"I don't believe it. Orangutan brother said. The orangutan brother took the stranger to the top of the mountain, and for the sake of protection, helped him tie more than 600 pounds of stones, and then pushed him down the mountain. The orangutan brother saw the stone shattered, but the stranger jumped up.
The orangutan brother believed that his sword would be able to kill the man who called himself the stone. But the orangutan brother is a principled orangutan, and he promised the stone to let him die a decent death, and he would not break his word. But the orangutan brother tried everything else, but there was no way to let the stone die.
Stone sipped the tea carefully concocted by the orangutan brother, waiting for the orangutan brother to make a new decision to execute him. He didn't know that the orangutan brother had put a large dose of poison into his tea.
Stone drank all the tea, but still nothing happened. The orangutan brother finally gave up, and he felt that the stone was the real monster.
But Stone is not a monster, he is a real person, and as for why he is like this, even he does not know.
"So what now?" asked the orangutan brother helplessly, slumped in his rocking chair.
"Since I can't die, you just let me go, let me go in peace, I won't tell you to the villagers. Stone said.
"That's not good, if you break my commandments, you must die, I'm a principled orangutan. Orangutan brother said.
"Then you can find another way to execute me, I'm full and want to sleep. The stone said lazily, and as soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
When the stone woke up the next day, the orangutan brother was still thinking, and he had the treasure knife in his hand, but he didn't pull it out.
"Don't worry, I'm a principled person, and I promised you that I would never use this knife to stab you in the body, nor would I use him to open your skull. Orangutan brother said.
"If I save you, so that one life is worth one life, will you be able to spare me and not execute me again? Stone proposed to the orangutan brother.
"That's fine, you saved me, you are my savior, and I have enough reason to forgive you. But there are no creatures in this mountain that can threaten me, and I am not in danger of life, how can you save me?" said the orangutan brother.
"You can commit suicide by jumping into the water with a stone tied to me, but as soon as you enter the water and regret it, then I can save you and become your savior. Stone said.
"That's good. Orangutan brother said.
The orangutan brother did as the stone said, and tied a forty-pound stone to his body, and he waited patiently under the water, but he could not wait for the stone to save him. He forgot that there is not a single good thing in human beings, and he is gullible about human beings. He struggled desperately to get to the surface, but the forty-pound stone always pulled him back to the bottom......
When the orangutan brother woke up, he was already in hell. He saw the bull's head. He heard the bull-headed brother say to him:
"You've woken up, and I'm going to take you to the place where life begins and ends. Before you reincarnate, you have to recount your life so that I can take you to the right place for you, and whether it will take you to heaven or hell depends on your creation and practice in life. However, what I can tell you clearly is that as long as you have half a lie, all that awaits you is purgatory. The bull head said.
"It starts with me being with humans, and before I was with humans, my family and I lived in a beautiful forest and lived a leisurely life. Until humans have destroyed the tranquility of the forest, destroyed my home, and slaughtered my family......" said the orangutan brother, his eyes full of tears, his words choked, and he paused, unwilling to continue.
"I'm sorry to remind you of something unhappy. Niu Tou said, "It's just that you have made a fool of the villagers, and you have made a fool of me, and I want to make a fool of you." ”
The orangutan brother couldn't hold back his tears, looked up and saw the stone giggling with the bull's head, and angrily slapped the stone out of the window.
After a while, the stone walked in unscathed. However, he didn't rush to talk to the orangutan brother, he knew that when people are hurt in their hearts, they need time to heal slowly, and of course, the same is true for orangutans. He accidentally let the orangutan uncover his scar, and the best thing to do now is to wait quietly for his scar to heal. Most of the world's quarrels are because the wrong thing is said at the wrong time, and sometimes silence is the best option.
The stone did it right, the orangutan brother was a seasoned orangutan after all, and soon the tears stopped and the anger disappeared.
"Now I can go?" said the orangutan brother after he had calmed down completely, "You spared my life, I saved your life, you pretended to be a monster to deceive me and the villagers, and I pretended to be a bull to deceive you." We don't owe each other anymore, now I can go, right?"
The orangutan brother was silent, he was thinking about the problem again, he didn't want to stay in this mountain forest anymore, he wanted the wider world, he didn't do anything with an orangutan, but now he met a stone that couldn't be killed no matter how he killed, and there were infinite possibilities in the future. He wanted the stone to take him with him, but he didn't know how to speak.
The orangutan brother didn't know that by the time he hesitated, the stone was gone.
As soon as the stone walked out of the forest, it was surrounded by people in the village. The whole village came out, carrying hoes and torches, and some even filled a basin of dog blood. The villagers surrounded him but did not dare to come near him. In their eyes, the stone has been swallowed alive by the youkai, and now it is a youkai in human skin.
The three brothers they were counting on hid on the outskirts of the crowd. The tall and big bull also mixed in with the crowd, not daring to take a step forward.
It was another drunken rat brother, full of guts, and he went up with a rope with his bare hands, tied a knot and put it around the neck of the stone, and then threw the rope over the archway, and pulled the rope to hang the stone. It's a pity that the strength is insufficient, and the strength of the wine is up, so I stumbled and didn't lift the stone, but I fell a lot.
Everyone was stunned and watched the drunken rat brother doing all the work, and finally two other young men went up to help and hoisted the stone with the drunken rat brother. They will strangle the stone alive.
Suddenly a gust of wind rose, dark clouds obscured the sun, the sky suddenly darkened, and there was an earth-shattering roar from the deep forest. The whole village ran with their legs, and the three brothers ran in front, but unfortunately their legs were weak, and they fell down several times, and the people behind stepped on them and fell over. Although the big bull was tall and strong, it was still pushed down by the crowd. In this accident, two people, including Da Niu, were killed, and countless serious injuries were made, and the three brothers suffered a total of 10 broken ribs, five hand fractures, and three foot fractures.
The villagers fled in the wilderness, and they didn't dare to turn their heads back, but there was a person who was not afraid of death left, and the drunken rat brother saw that the orangutan brother untied the rope and let go of the stone, and the anger came up, and he hugged the orangutan brother desperately and did not let them leave. The orangutan brother had no choice but to run into the mountain with a person on his body.
"Brother Orangutan, don't you really want to eat human brains, why did you catch one alive? Stone said with a grin.
"Phew, no matter how vulgar I am, I won't eat such disgusting things, only humans are so distracted, eating monkeys, eating the organs of the same kind. The orangutan brother said disdainfully, "This bastard is drunk, and he is not afraid to see me, and he hugs me with all his might." I knew that I had killed him a year ago, a year ago he had broken into the forbidden land and forcibly killed the little girl, and when I hesitated, he had escaped. ”
"It turned out to be him. Stone said with a grin.
When Brother Rat woke up, he saw the cow's head and the black hair of the horse, and explained the killing of the little girl.
Brother Rat has always been infatuated with the little girl, and overhears that she is going to have a tryst with someone else in the mountains and forests. Brother Rat drank a lot of wine angrily, and when he was drunk, he became bolder, and at the time they agreed, he also entered the mountain. The little girl is bold in order to have a tryst with her lover. Her date was a bad breed, and when she heard a few crows at the foot of the mountain, she was so frightened that she ran home covered with a quilt and didn't dare to come out.
In the dark, Brother Rat and the little girl were affectionate, but soon the little girl felt that something was wrong, and then Brother Rat was willing to stop...... By the time the rat brother came to his senses, the little girl had already been strangled to death by him.
