Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

Zhou Chong is undoubtedly very familiar with the terrain in the vicinity, so he took us and took a shortcut, and soon fell to Zhou Village here, and went around to the back of Grandpa Zhou's house, which was rented by me temporarily. house. In fact, it’s a bit exaggerated to say that, firstly, I haven’t paid the rent, and secondly, I don’t know who the original owner of this house is, so it’s not really a rented guest room. But just as I stretched out my hand to open the door and wanted to go in, I suddenly felt a sense of danger, and a dangerous atmosphere permeated the air. "Who?" I exclaimed.

The door squeaked and opened just like that, and then, almost as quickly as lightning, two black shadows rushed towards me. I instinctively squatted down, and swung the medicine shovel in my hand fiercely. There was a scream, and Zhou Chong and Crazy Yuan, who were outstretched by me, shot at the same time, obviously hurting the thing-but it still ran fast, and the two black shadows disappeared into the rainy night in an instant. "What is it?" I looked at Zhou Chong and asked. Although it was just a moment ago, I could clearly see that the two monsters were obviously monkeys with hairy faces and thunderous mouths...

This is not the first time I have seen this monkey. Even when I walked into Zhou Chong’s bamboo forest, I was attacked by this monkey for no reason, and Zhou Chong actually laughed at me. It was a blind man who saw a ghost. What the hell? Zhou Chong is really thick-skinned, and he said bluntly: "Obviously, it's not a good thing." "I don't think you are a good person." I couldn't help laughing out of anger. "It looks like a monkey, but this monkey is a bit too big, and it looks a bit like Monkey King." Yuan Crazy said. "If it's Monkey Sun, how can we survive?" I said angrily.

"Look, what are you missing?" Crazy Yuan said, "I used to hear people say that those monkeys who play tricks are all well-behaved by people. They are thieves who pretend to be monkeys during the day and walk around the house. Yes, but in fact they are stepping on the plate, let the monkey go through the cat's ear hole at night, open the door, and let people in to steal things, if it is small, the monkeys don't even need people to go in, they just stole it." I have heard similar arguments, but all the belongings are in the backpack. This temporary foothold is really nothing to steal.

It’s just that when I opened the door and walked in, turned on the light, but my face turned yellow with anger—I don’t know who turned over the place a few days ago, and I tidied it up for a long time. It looks good, but now it's good, and someone turned it upside down. "Damn monkey, I'm not finished with you this time." I cursed angrily while tidying up. Crazy Yuan was also busy helping me tidy up things, only Zhou Chong stood still, I shouted: "Hey, don't act like a master, help me tidy up quickly - by the way, you go and boil some hot water, we The whole body is wet, and there is dry wood on the stove."

Dry firewood and some food, part of it was sent by the village head, and part of it was sent by the grandmother next door. The duckling had a bad stomach yesterday, and the grandmother came to me with her in her arms. I gave her a dose of medicine. I've eaten. Her grandma wanted to give the consultation fee, but I confiscated it, and grandma Xiaoya sent some eggs and vegetables—it was said that they were all from her family, so I didn't refuse. Today, these things are still there. In the inner room, there is nothing but a wooden bed. What makes me dumbfounded is that this wooden bed was also turned over and fell to the ground.

I greeted Zhou Chong, asked him to help, continue to arrange the bed, put on the ordinary old mat, and sighed: "I am offending someone, is it worth it?" Crazy Yuan only yelled that he was hungry, and went straight to the stove by himself to boil water and cook food, but I didn't bother to pay attention. "Hey—Lang Zhong, look at this monkey, he really has a talent for being a thief. What do you think he is looking for?" Crazy Yuan said loudly while sitting behind the stove. "Burn your fire, my house is bare, what can I steal?" I said angrily. "There must be a baby on you." Crazy Yuan said with a cheerful smile.

"Baby fart." I scolded, "I'm away all year round, what can I bring out? Even if there are any treasures, they will stay in Cangwu City." I don't deny that I have some valuable things that can be coveted by others , but these things are so precious, what am I supposed to do with me? "This is strange. Who came to such a crappy house to steal things for no reason?" Crazy Yuan asked in confusion. I couldn't figure it out either, so I immediately got some hot water, washed up for a while, and changed out of my drenched clothes. Crazy Yuan sat behind the stove to light a fire. At this time, the wet clothes had been dried by the heat. , I asked Zhou Chong if he wanted to change clothes, but he shook his head and refused.

"Zhou Chong, you want me to treat your master, and you tell me clearly, what exactly was that thing just now?" I held a bowl of green vegetable noodles, looked at Zhou Chong who was lying on the table, gobbling it up, and directly Said, "You eat slowly, how long have you not eaten?" "That's a ghost monkey!" Zhou Chong had already scooped up the noodles, before Crazy Yuan and I moved, he snatched Crazy Yuan's noodles with his hands, and started to eat again voraciously. Crazy Yuan was about to ask him to reason, I sighed, and pushed the bowl that I hadn't eaten to Crazy Yuan, and Zhou Chong looked like I hadn't eaten for two or three days.I really don't understand, what has this guy been doing these days?

"What is a ghost monkey?" Crazy Yuan asked curiously. "This is too long to say..." Zhou Chong swallowed a mouthful of noodles and sighed, "My father, my grandpa's death can be said to be related to this, but... just... I didn't want Mr. Ximen to get involved, That's what kept it from him." "If you said that at the beginning, I believe you mean well, now!" I shook my head, expressing doubts about Zhou Chong's words. "Zhou Chong is like this." Crazy Yuan hurriedly smoothed things over, "Don't worry about Ximen, just listen to what he has to say."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain," I said. "Just like you, I don't want to talk about it anymore." Zhou Chong scooped up both bowls of noodles, touched his mouth, stood up and was about to leave. "Hey—" I suddenly couldn't help laughing for a while, looked at Zhou Chong and said, "You are really courageous." Zhou Chong was stunned, turned to look at me, and asked, "What do you mean?" "Is my noodles so delicious?" I smiled cheerfully, thinking that I was slapped by this guy last time, if I don't reciprocate once, I will feel uncomfortable in my heart. Zhou Chong's face changed, and after a long time, he asked, "You...you actually poisoned?" When he said this, Madman Yuan also changed his expression, he was busy shutting the door and concentrating, and began to check his internal energy. I didn't bother to say anything. After a while, Madman Yuan frowned and said, "I'm fine?" "You saved me today, so I can't do anything to you, but this guy is too evil, it's okay if you don't tell me, I'll trouble you for a few days, don't worry, I won't die..." I am happy Hehe smiled and said, "Last time you put strong sleeping pills in my tea, it's me, if it's someone else, I might just sleep to death, although euthanasia is very happy, but I don't want to die yet .” "You... what kind of medicine is this?" Zhou Chong held his stomach and shouted, "Zhi Niang... my stomach hurts so much." "Laxative!" I said angrily, it's not a serious poison anyway, this guy was drenched in the rain all night, still wearing wet clothes, did nothing but ate two bowls of noodles. "Give me the medicine, you—it's too much, otherwise, I'll take care of it at your door." Zhou Chong was about to untie his pants while talking. When I saw it, I was immediately anxious. I never thought that Zhou Chong would be such a rascal. If he pulls at my gate, can I still live in this house?Although it is temporarily rented, it will stay for a while anyway. So, I hurriedly took out a pill from my pocket, and threw it with a snap of my fingers. "How to eat?" Zhou Chong asked anxiously, clutching his stomach. "Just swallow it." I smiled wryly. Zhou Chong didn't say anything, just swallowed the pill. After a long while, he straightened up and said, "You are an outsider. As long as I find a tutor and you revive him, I will pay the consultation fee. This matter is true." It has nothing to do with you." "This—" I took out the black thread from the needle pouch, and sighed, "Obviously, someone from my sect was involved, and my senior brother wanted to kill me for no reason, there must be a reason, and you still have to hide it I, then I can’t say it, so don’t blame me for being rude.” Zhou Chong sighed, walked in, closed the door behind his back, and then said: "I said, this is a long story, and I don't know where to start—does the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom know?" Before I could speak, Crazy Yuan slapped the table and scolded, "Have you never learned history when you bully a lunatic?" Zhou Chong laughed for a while and sighed: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom once occupied half of China in its heyday. In the later period, the leaders had different opinions, so they began to go downhill all the way, and finally were destroyed by the Qing soldiers. But it cannot be denied. It was the biggest peasant uprising in the late Qing Dynasty - that's what the history says, right?" "Could it be wrong?" I asked in confusion. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has its historical limitations, so the possibility of success is unlikely. "There was a strange person in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." Zhou Chong thought for a while before saying, "That is Shi Dakai." "I have a little respect for this man." I said. Regarding the time of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising, this Shi Dakai could be regarded as serving the country and the people. In the end, it is said that he was executed by the Qing soldiers Ling Chi. "If I tell you that he is not human, what would you say?" Zhou Chong said. "Fart." Crazy Yuan scolded, "He's not human, so is he still a bug like you? Then Shi Dakai is such a hero, I admire him a lot, don't you want to discredit him."
