[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

"Hey, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly all of a sudden?" Bajie finished speaking, and when he stopped to catch his breath, he glanced at me with a rather complicated expression.

"It's okay..." I panted slightly, trying to calm down the turbulent emotions in my heart——

If it wasn't a monkey who saved me, who would it be?I have been chasing and clinging to the person for so long, who the hell is...? !

My head was a little dizzy, and I sat on the stool, but I couldn't sit still.There seemed to be a person in red clothes and blond hair in my sight, but I couldn't tell whether he was a monkey or a master.Something seemed to be pressing on my heart, and it was so stuffy.I grabbed the clothes on my chest, looking for something in a daze.

I don't know what I'm looking for, but my intuition tells me that I've lost my most important thing.

what is it then?I pursued hard and persisted, but I still couldn't resist the golden cicada. What am I insisting on?Is it ideal?Do you want to become a world-class hero like a monkey?But if it is really ideal, maybe I won't be so uncomfortable at this moment.

It's not an ideal. From the beginning to the end, what I'm chasing is only the monkey.I have to admit, from Pantao Garden to Wuxing Mountain, from Wuxing Mountain to Shifang Illusion, from Shifang Illusion to Wanli, I have been chasing... the monkey is the only person, only him!But... what am I planning? !

"I...it's okay..." I stood up abruptly.Bajie stared at me nervously, and said: "What's wrong with you, I think you are not in the right state."

"I have to go." I said in a daze, "You...help me and brother Changliu, talk to the holy monks, and say that I won't delay your study...I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Hey! The monkey is going to get the medicinal wine. It will be back soon. Even if you are in a hurry to leave, you don't care about this moment." Bajie called to me and said, "If you want to say goodbye, you can say goodbye to him personally." .”

"Don't wait for him...I, I won't wait for him." I said, and opened the door.Maybe it was knowing that Jin Chan was going to bid farewell to the queen today, and there was light rain falling outside which suited the occasion.I looked up at the suddenly cloudy sky, and there was rain falling in my eyes, astringent.However, when it was time to leave, I couldn't take the first step, and I couldn't bear to step out of that room.

On rainy days, my shoes are straw sandals, afraid of stepping on water.

"You're not leaving again?" Bajie laughed, he got up and walked, his steps were steady and he didn't look like he had hurt his butt.

"Why is it raining?" I said, "Didn't it be sunny just now?"

"Aren't you without an umbrella, haha?" Bajie looked at me.

"I have an umbrella." I said.

Bajie said, "Why don't you use an umbrella if you have one?"

"..." I was silent, lowered my eyes, and finally took that step and walked into the rain.

"Hey, you!" Bajie seemed to want to pull me, but he only raised his arm before he stopped. He looked in a certain direction and shouted: "Brother Monkey."

"!" I was taken aback, stopped, raised my head, and saw the monkey opposite me.He didn't open an umbrella either, but his robes were not soaked in water or fire, and the raindrops on his body only gathered in rows and flowed slowly.

"I'm leaving, why didn't you tell me?" the monkey said warmly, the voice sounded a little far away in the rain.

"I didn't deliberately not tell you, it's not that you were not here just now." I smiled, but I knew that that smile was not pretty.

The monkey was slightly taken aback, and after a moment of silence, he took a few steps forward and came in front of me.He took out the treasure bag, handed over the packaged medicine bottle, and said, "If you leave, take this with you. If your waist hurts again, remember to use it."

I didn't answer, looked up at him, and asked: "Did you prepare a long time ago to let me leave with these bottles of medicine today?"

"Yes." The monkey didn't even hesitate, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, he tidied up the wisp of wet hair on my shoulder, and said, "The western sky is too far away, Huanxi, don't follow, go back."

"I know." I gently pushed away the monkey's hand, still refusing to take the medicine, and said, "I never thought of following you, so I'm leaving now. Hmm... this encounter, it's just Coincidentally, I accidentally saw the holy monk being caught by the banshee..."

The monkey's golden eyes flickered, behind the rain curtain, he said: "No need to explain, you and me, there is no need to explain so much."

"Brother Changliu, I...I like it..." I bit my lower lip, exhausted my strength but couldn't say that.At the same time, I also know that there will be fewer opportunities to say this sentence to the monkey in the future.

The monkey waited patiently and asked, "What do you like?"

"I like... Peach Blossom Crisp." I said, "I don't need the medicine anymore. I will take good care of myself in the future and won't let myself get hurt."

"I remember." The monkey smiled, but he didn't know which one he was referring to when he said remember.He put away the medicine and asked casually, "Where's your umbrella?"

"It's a little rain, it's okay." I also smiled and waved to him, "Then... I'll go first, and see you later when I have a chance."

After finishing speaking, I didn't look at the monkey again, turned around and ran into the rain.

Some words, I think, if it is not necessary, it is better to rot in the stomach.I know monkeys are good to me, but maybe that's just out of caring or a natural love for the weak.But I also know that I do not simply admire and love him.However, this relationship is unequal.

So, even if I said it, it would only bother him.If not, at least I can still call him "Brother Changliu".

Monkey is right, he has things to do and people he wants to protect.But I'm not wrong, I thought, I've done nothing wrong.So what went wrong?I need time to figure this out, and only after I figure it out can I decide whether to leave forever, or continue chasing after never looking back.

I heard that Monkey and Jin Chan left the palace when the rain stopped.At that time, the sky was clear, and a curved rainbow was erected high in the sky, which was beautiful and gorgeous.The queen personally led the girls in the guard of honor to send the golden cicada out of the city, and fireworks and firecrackers were set off. Although the wedding was not held, the lively scene was almost the same.

The streets were bustling with people, and the windows of the restaurants on both sides were full of spectators.However, I was lying on the bed in the inn, so weak that I didn't want to move at all.The young lady who cleaned the room asked me if I wanted to pass the meal. She asked a few times and got no answer. She came over and looked at me with concern. She told me that I had a fever, maybe I had a cold.

"I was drenched in the rain during the day." I said, but I didn't think in my heart that a monster can be as weak as a mortal, and it will catch cold after being exposed to light rain.

The young lady kindly brought me a bowl of ginger soup.Some spicy, some sweet, the taste is not uncomfortable.When I was drinking ginger soup, she asked me: "When it rains, don't you buy an umbrella or find a place to take shelter?"

"I have an umbrella." I said, put down the bowl, wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, turned my hands under the quilt out of thin air, took out my "Yaoguang" and showed her, "I'm not kidding you, I really have an umbrella .”

"Gonorrhea with an umbrella?" She said helplessly.

I held "Yaoguang" in my arms, and smiled embarrassedly: "I can't bear it. After all, this umbrella is made of paper. If it is exposed to the sun several times, it will break sooner or later!"

"Hey, why is the umbrella so important, let me see." The young lady said.I handed it to her.She teased me: "A gift from the girl I like?"

"How can there be!" My face became hot, and I argued: "Master made it for me, he made it himself, there is only one in the world!"

I mistook Master for a monkey, and credited all his goodness to me as the monkey's credit. I am already very sorry for him.This umbrella was used by him to protect my injured eyes from the sun. It can't really be used as an umbrella in the first place.If I broke it, wouldn't I be more sorry for him?

She opened the umbrella with a "swish", her pretty face twitched a few times, full of disgust——

The workmanship of the umbrella is not very good, the beige oil paper is barely glued to a few bamboo pieces with paste, and it seems to be broken when the wind blows.There are peach blossom branches painted in twos and threes on the umbrella, and the painter is even more indescribable.Obviously I wanted to paint flowers all over the branches, but my paintings turned out to be scattered all over the place.In the blank space, there are two words that look like dogs crawling crookedly - "Yaoguang".

"What is this?" The young lady asked, "Can it be used? Will it break when the wind blows?"

I said: "My master's hand is very skillful, and he is not a professional craftsman, so it is not bad to paste it like this."

The little sister looked complicated, staring at the painting, and said: "Then what about this painting? Could it be drawn by your master too? It's so ugly, a three-year-old child's drawing is better than this."

I said: "No, I drew it myself. Actually, I don't know how to draw, so it's not bad to draw like this."

"Where are the words?" This time, the young lady wisely didn't presumably decide who wrote the words on it, but obviously she had given up hope.

I said, "Master wrote it." Seeing her distaste a little bit more, I hurriedly said: "My master is very good, at least...he can write, and I can't even write."

"You master and apprentice are really a match made in heaven." She sighed.

I hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of couple, can you say this casually?"

"Tell me what's the matter. It doesn't really mean being in pairs." She took the umbrella back to me and said, "Hey, how did you grow so big? I think you are handsome, you look like a girl. He is a man of knowledge."

"I don't know how to read." I said, and felt that it was too absolute, so I changed it to: "I know some, but not much."

She thought for a while, and said: "Well, anyway, you have been living here for the past few days and will not leave. From now on, when I finish the work at hand, I will come over and teach you to read some characters."

"Okay." I smiled, "thanks a lot."

A few days later, I learned that the young lady's name was Nvyuan, she was the daughter of a local gentry, she had attended a private school, and knew a lot of words.Later, when her family was in trouble, she came to the inn to make a living.

Nvyuan found many books for me, some with pictures and some without pictures.But under normal circumstances, I only pick the ones with paintings.She laughed at me for being lazy and not studying hard.

I said: "Female master, it's enough to embarrass me with a painting, maybe... maybe my head is a lump of elm, but I can't open it?"

Nuyuan pretended to tap my head lightly with a ruler, and scolded with a smile: "Get out! How can someone's head be really wood? Even if it's wood, after my training|teaching, I'm sure you'll be enlightened!"

"Hehe..." I laughed dryly, and thought to myself: But I'm really a piece of wood, haha.

Although ten taels of gold is a lot, there are times when it is used up.I lived in the inn for a month, and finally spent my last penny.

But the twelve taels of gold and one month's time are not considered a hundred flowers. At least, I learned dozens of commonly used characters and figured out some things.

I thought, maybe I should find the monkey and speak my mind.Only in this way can I have an account of myself, can I be willing, and can no longer no matter where I am, what I do, eat, sleep, learn characters, or study, I can only think about him alone.

Even if I give up my heart, I have to be rejected by the monkey; otherwise, if I bury a heart and never see the light of day, it will only gradually rot and become more painful, but it will never die.

After figuring this out, I found a wine shop in Daughter's Country, helped the boss brew a few pots of peach blossoms, earned some money, and then hurried on the road.The boss is kind-hearted. Before leaving, he gave me a small altar and asked me to drink it with me on the way.It's a mistake to drink, I just take it with me, I don't have any desire to drink.Besides, that wine is brewed by myself, it is not fresh.

After climbing over several mountains and passing through several cities, the journey went smoothly without any hardships.I think it was because the monkeys had just walked over, and they had already eliminated all the troubles, which could be regarded as indirectly clearing the way for me.

Even so, I didn't expect that I would catch up with the four of them so quickly.I never thought that I would meet such a monkey in such a weather, in such a situation——

It rained heavily in July, the mountain road was muddy, and the sky and the ground turned yellow.

Rainwater mixed with mud and sand splashed, and the monkey's red-gold curly hair and eyes seemed to have the coldness of rainwater.The blood-colored robe was slightly stained with mud, and it was no longer invulnerable, or maybe he dispelled the spell himself, so that the soaked cloth stuck to his body, wrapping his proud but humble body.

Proud, because in my heart, he is the unrivaled hero that everyone is looking forward to, with his feet on the clouds and his body in golden armor.

Humble, because in front of me, he knelt there like a stone sculpture, with all his light and hostility completely gone.

I have never seen a monkey kneel to anyone.

day!

land!

god!

Buddha!

But he just knelt down to Jin Chan!

At this moment, I heard clearly that something was broken.Accompanied by my voice, it sounds like it is in the distant sky.I said--

"Great Sage!!! Stand up!!!"

The author has something to say: Tomorrow Chapter 1 will be the real and fake Monkey King! ! !la la la! ! !Friends, don't panic! ! !The monkey really never abandoned joy! ! !Believe me! ! !
