[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

Bajie said: "A lot of things in those years, everyone was forced to do it, and they were happy. My master never thought of harming you. You, don't hate him too much."

"I'm afraid there is no one in this world who is more merciful than Jin Chan." Thinking about the old things, this fairy bowed his head and said softly: "But people who 'use compassion to hurt others' let others fall into the mud, but they themselves High-spirited and bright. It's even more hated, isn't it?"

"..." Bajie's face changed, and he was speechless for a while.

Ben Xianjun raised his eyes and saw that he hesitated to speak with embarrassment on his face, "Pfft—" he laughed, and said, "I was just joking."

"Eh heh heh." Bajie laughed dryly a few times, still embarrassed.Presumably, it was my fairy's words, nine truths and one falsehood, which made him dizzy.

"Hate? Maybe you hated it before?" I sighed, and said leisurely: "No matter how he is in the monkey's heart, at least in my heart, he is no longer the dazzling, noble and noble person when we first met in Pantaoyuan. He has become one of thousands of ordinary people. Trapped by love, tired by love. But why am I not an ordinary person? To hate him is nothing more than laughing at a hundred steps. .”

Only then did Bajie's expression become clear. He took a deep look at Cuilan's sister-in-law and said affectionately: "Yes. You and I are both ordinary people. But I think it's better to be more vulgar. Why do you need so many rules and regulations?"

Ben Xianjun stared at him, and suddenly found something different.

"What do you see me doing?"

"It's nothing." Ben Xianjun said with a smile: "I just suddenly discovered that you are much better than monkeys in this regard."

Bajie said: "Hey! What are you talking about, when did my old pig become worse than him? I have always been better than him, okay?"

Ben Xianjun said: "Although he looks wild and unruly, he is not as decisive as you in the face of feelings. You miss Cuilan's sister-in-law, so didn't you go back to Gao Laozhuang immediately after the westward journey? It is really unruly and self-willed. For the person, it should be you."

Bajie raised his eyebrows, "Are you really praising me?"

"Naturally." Ben Xianjun smiled and took out a pancake for him, "Do you eat shortbread? The taste is a bit bland, but the taste is not bad."

"What shortbread? Don't talk about anything else, but when it comes to eating, there is nothing I don't like!" Bajie continued, took a bite, and then lowered his raised eyebrows a little bit, and frowned a little bit , as if eating a fly, life is loveless.

Ben Xianjun almost thought that he was going to vomit soon.

But in the end he still swallowed the mouthful of pancake very strongly, but he refused to take another bite no matter what.The store has a dog, so Bajie casually feeds the pancakes to it.As a result, the little bastard only sniffed it once, then ran away with a howling "Aw--".

Ben Xianjun: "..."

At this time, Cuilan finished eating the wontons.Ben Xianjun remembered that the monkey was originally cooking braised fish at home, and said: "You have come from a long way, how can I let you sit here and eat wontons? The Great Sage was originally cooking fish, come home with me to eat fish .”

Bajie said that since the farewell to Xitian 2000 years ago, he has never been back to Da Leiyin Temple, nor has he seen Jin Chan.As for the monkey, for the past 2000 years, he has been bored in Huaguo Mountain and rarely went out, and he is not easily seen.It's time for the four of them, master and apprentice, to reunite.

"Back then your departure was really a big blow to my elder brother." Bajie sighed, helped Cuilan up, and said, "Think about the time when the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who was not afraid of gods and Buddhas, made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. What a sight. Who would have thought that he would use Huaguo Mountain as a cage and imprisoned himself for 2000 years."

Ben Xianjun suddenly remembered the day when I ascended, the monkey stood on the square outside Yuqing Palace and looked over deeply.He took my wrist and asked my name.There was surprise and ecstasy caught off guard in a pair of glazed golden eyes, but more of it was depression and struggle after extreme restraint.In the past, I didn't understand why he showed such a sad expression, but now he seemed to understand suddenly—he recognized the old man—but he was afraid that the old man he had waited for for 2000 years was no longer the same.

"beware of the steps."

Ben Xianjun took Bajie and his wife home, but when he opened the door, he saw that the yard was quiet, and the monkey and Jin Chan were not there.I called out "Great Sage" again, but no one answered.Thinking of the kitchen, I ran to see that there was a drawer of steamed buns in the pot, a plate of braised fish and a few side dishes.

"Didn't you say that my master and Brother Hou are both here, what about people?" Bajie was greedy, and took out a steamed bun from the pot, it was not too hot, dipped some vegetable soup and put it in his mouth.

Ben Xianjun glanced at the yard next door through the hole kicked out by the monkey in the fence, looked away, and walked while holding the tray of vegetables: "Maybe there is something that is inconvenient for outsiders to hear, so I went out and said it." Bar."

"Try my brother Monkey's cooking skills, he cooks delicious food." Bajie grabbed a small mouthful of steamed buns and brought them to Cuilan's mouth, saying, "The courtyard is empty and there is no one else, so you need to go out. Say? I don’t know what they are mysterious about.”

"Leave them alone, can you lose a good living person?" Ben Xianjun said with a smile, and he was a little bit guilty in his heart.

The wonton shop is just across the door, and I have been sitting in the shop almost all the time. If Monkey and Jin Chan really went out, I should have seen it.Since they didn't see it, the only possibility is that they ran to the next yard to talk through the gap in the wall.If this is the case, it is self-evident who they want to hide from and who are afraid of being heard.

Cuilan is a daughter's family, so her thoughts are more delicate.I heard Bajie talk a lot about the old things between me and the monkey Jinchan before, maybe I was worried that I would get angry because of this, so I quickly winked at Bajie and changed the subject, saying: "Brother's steamed buns are not bad. -"

"I said why did the voice sound familiar, so it was Cuilan's sister who came." With a chuckle, the monkey suddenly appeared from behind the fence.He ducked slightly and came through the hole in the wall, and took the tray away from the fairy hand naturally, and glanced at me at the same time.For some reason, there was a trace of sullenness in his eyes.

Ben Xianjun was stunned: Did I do something wrong?

Cuilan smiled subtly and shyly, blessed her body, and said softly: "Elder brother."

"Since you're pregnant, don't do these vain rituals. You idiot, don't take good care of your daughter-in-law." Monkey scolded, but his tone was smiling.After walking a few steps, seeing that the fairy was still in a daze, he paused for a moment, turned his face and said in a warm voice: "Why are you so dazed, aren't you going to ask the group of boys outside to come back for dinner?" It seemed that his expression was normal again, as if The sullenness is just an illusion of this fairy.

"Well, I'll go right away." Ben Xianjun withdrew his breath, turned around and planned to call Zitong.Seeing that Jin Chan also came out of the hole in the wall, his brows were still cold, but his eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know what he and the monkey had just said in the yard.

Bajie was about to help Cuilan into the room, when he saw Jin Chan, he was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't recognize who the handsome young man in plain clothes and long hair was, and it took him a long time before he shouted with twitching corners of his mouth: "Master, Master—when did you return to vulgarity?!"

"..." Jin Chan's face was slightly stiff, and she was a little at a loss by Ba Jie's question.

Ben Xianjun was thinking about how he should answer, but he heard the monkey say: "You idiot, are you stupid? If Master walks on the street with a bald gourd, wouldn't it be ostentatious? Why not dress up?"

"..." After being relieved, Jin Chan glanced at the monkey gratefully, before saying, "Bajie, long time no see."

What follows must be a touching scene of the reunion of the master and the apprentice. I have seen a lot in the picture book, and I have no interest, so I went out to find Zitong.When I came back, the stools in the room had already been set up, just waiting to be seated and have dinner.The big bag of shortbread that I bought was placed on the table in front of the monkey.

A few children didn't recognize their birth, so they hula surrounded them, grabbed the steamed buns and gorged themselves on side dishes.Ben Xianjun sat down in an empty seat next to the monkey, stared at the paper bag in front of him, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, these are the shortbread I bought when I went out just now. It's not good to buy too much." Eat it, it’s not good to entertain guests. Why don’t you put it away first, and I’ll eat it myself later.”

The monkey squeezed one out and put it in his mouth, saying, "I have tasted it just now, and it tastes good. It's not sweet, salty or greasy, I like it."

Ben Xianjun was stunned: "..." Could it be that the monkey has been with me for a long time, and the taste has become similar?I also think that although the pancakes are neither sweet nor salty, and have no taste, they will not get greasy after eating too much.

But Zitong said, "What, you still like pancakes that are as dry as tofu and unpalatable? Great Sage, is your sense of taste okay?"

Bajie also said: "Brother Hou, I tried it at the wonton shop just now. Dogs would run away after smelling this thing. How can you still eat it?"

Ben Xianjun said with a smile: "Since you like it, eat more. Anyway, I don't know how to cook, but at least I'm willing to buy you whatever you like to eat."

"Let's go shopping together." Monkey said lightly, without emotion.

"Enough is enough, you are enough!" Bajie seemed to be frightened, clutching Cuilan's stomach, and said: "There are still children here, please step aside if you are showing affection, thank you! Don't teach me." Broke my good daughter!"

Cuilan pursed her lips and smiled: "How do you know it must be a daughter?"

Bajie said: "I asked Si Ming to do the math for me, the first child must be a beautiful girl."

Bajie and his wife are lively people. Although Cuilan was a little shy at the beginning, after half a meal, everyone got used to it, and she talked more.The atmosphere didn't seem silent either.Only Jinchan sat on the left hand side of the monkey. After asking a few words about Bajie's recent situation and telling him to take care of Cuilan's body and emotions, he fell silent.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jin Chan has something on her mind.

Monkey also seems to have something on his mind.Although nothing could be seen from his expression, he continued to pick up vegetables for me as usual, peeled a lot of crayfish for me, and carefully picked out the shrimp threads.But sitting next to him, I always feel that I am surrounded by a low air pressure - he is angry with me.

"..." Ben Xianjun looked at him cautiously with his head tilted, and saw that he was only staring at the shrimp in his hand and was peeling it quickly. After peeling, he put it on the small plate in front of me, and didn't even say a word.

After eating the whole meal for more than half an hour, the number of times the monkey looked at this fairy was very few. I don't know what I did wrong to provoke him.In the past, even if we quarreled, I was angry with him, but he has never had a cold war with me like this.

After lunch, Jin Chan left.

The monkey only nodded slightly to him and didn't say goodbye.On the contrary, Bajie chased him out, exchanged some pleasantries with him, and came back after about a stick of incense.Ever since Cuilan became pregnant, she had the habit of taking a nap after lunch. She was already a little tired and started yawning.

Ben Xianjun waited for a while, but he didn't wait for the monkey to speak.He cleaned up the dishes on the table expressionlessly, and it seemed that he planned to fight me to the end.Ben Xianjun didn't urge him, got up and said: "Brother Bajie, you and sister-in-law Cuilan can stay here for a few more days, I'll go clean up a guest room and come out."

There are not many other things in the courtyard of this fairy, except that there are extraordinarily many empty rooms.Picking out a spacious and bright wing room, I used Taoist magic to clean the dust in the room. The tables, chairs and benches were neatly arranged, and I saw that I could live in it. I remembered that there were still a few soft quilts - Cuilan is my daughter. She is a young lady, and she is very delicate. It is definitely not enough to just spread a quilt on the bed.

There are still three brand new quilts, but they are stored in the cabinet in this fairy's bedroom.So Ben Xianjun hurriedly ran to the bedroom to pick it up, and met a monkey who had finished washing the dishes in the yard.He stared at me with an indescribable expression.

Ben Xianjun stopped and explained to him: "Sister-in-law Cuilan is going to take a nap, and the quilt is not enough. I will go back to the room and move some beds out for her." Then he trotted into the house, listening to the footsteps behind him, The monkeys seemed to follow suit.

Ben Xianjun didn't think much about it, he looked through the cupboard to find the quilt, but he was suddenly hugged from behind without thinking.The monkey had a lot of strength this time, and hugged me tightly, his arms wrapped around my waist tightly, almost strangling my old waist.

Afraid that he was still in a fit of anger, I didn't dare to move, I just put down the quilt and let him hug him, gently pressed the palm of my hand on the back of his hand, and said softly: "What are you doing to me with a cold face just now?" Angry? Now that Jin Chan is gone and Ba Jie is not here, there is no one else here. If you have something to say in your heart, you can always tell me."
