Chapter 23 Chapter 7: Monkeys Who Can Play Strings

one Although the misty window paper blocked the icy night wind, it couldn't shut out the bone-piercing chill. The only thing that can drive away the cold is drinking, so a large bottle of wine, more than half of it has filled Ye Kai's stomach, and after he drank another glass, he heard Mr. Wang say: "Did you come today because of the monkey?" Garden' the legend of a man with a head and a monkey body?" "This is just a part of it." Ye Kai said. "There is a kid who is mischievous by nature, his name is Wang Cheng." Ye Kai stared at Mr. Wang: "I wonder if I have stumbled into your place by mistake?"

Mr. Wang didn't answer this question right away. He first poured a glass of wine slowly, raised his glass slowly, and drank slowly, his eyes full of thoughts. He waited until the glass of wine was exhausted, then looked at Ye Kai and said, "Do you believe what I said?" "letter." "Okay." Mr. Wang put down the cup: "I don't know." "I don't know?" Ye Kai was slightly taken aback. "Yes." Mr. Wang said: "I was not in the 'Monkey Garden' a few days ago." "You're not here?" "Although I like monkeys, monkeys don't come here by themselves." Mr. Wang smiled: "So every once in a while, I go out and collect monkeys everywhere."

"When did you go out this time?" "Three months ago, it was only five days since I came back." Mr. Wang said with a smile, "So I don't know if your naughty little friend has come." "Could it be that while you're away—" "No." Mr. Wang said: "If there is such a thing, I must know, and my servant will definitely tell me." Now that the master has said so, what else can Ye Kai do?He could only laugh: "Perhaps this naughty brat is hiding somewhere else?" Mr. Wang also smiled, and he waited for the laughter to die down before saying, "Then do you still want to know whether the 'human head monkey body' is true or not?"

"Since we're here, it's of course the best thing to satisfy our curiosity." Ye Kai said with a smile. "Curiosity is something that everyone has, but it's not something that can always be satisfied." Mr. Wang smiled, then lifted it up again, and patted it three times. Ye Kai thought that another monkey was going to appear, so he opened his eyes wide and looked at the monkey who had just walked out of the tea delivery door. Since Mr. Wang wanted to satisfy his curiosity, would the monkey called out this time be like the one in the legend? What about the monkey with the "human head and monkey body"?so, what happened?Ye Kai frowned, and when he was about to turn his head to ask Mr. Gong, he suddenly heard a melodious sound of string music.

What kind of music is Xianle? Has anyone heard of it? If there is a kind of music that sounds like it can melt your soul, or even your whole body, then this kind of music should be regarded as fairy music. two The sudden sound of string music, at this moment, in this situation, although Ye Kai was surprised, but he was immediately confused by the string rhythm in the music. Although Ye Kai doesn't know how to play musical instruments, not even the most basic "seven notes", but he knows how to appreciate it, and he can tell whether it's good or bad. The sudden sound of string music may not be regarded as a kind of fairy music, and Ye Kai's person has not melted, but he is almost drunk, he can feel it.

It's not the drunkenness, but the drunkenness of the soul. This string music is even more intoxicating than mellow wine. Although Ye Kai was intoxicated by the music, his mind was still spinning. Didn't Mr. Wang want to satisfy his curiosity?Why didn't the monkey with the "human head and monkey body" come out, instead, such a nice string music sounded? Could it be that before this kind of monkey with "human head and monkey body" comes out, it must be accompanied by music. Thinking of this, Ye Kai couldn't help but smiled wryly, maybe this kind of monkey with "human head and monkey body" is a bit special, and it must have a string background before it will show up.

It is impolite to interrupt the elegant music. Ye Kai has never done impolite things. Fortunately, all the music in the world has its end. The string music is over, but the lingering sound is still lingering. "Although it can't be called fairy music, it can be regarded as a good performance, right?" Mr. Wang said. "It's more than just a good performance." Ye Kai said with a smile. "Do you want to meet these people who play?" "I want to die." Ye Kai said "want to die", but in his heart he was "distressed". Didn't he mean to show him a monkey with a "human head and a monkey body"?Why did you get involved with someone who played?

But the host is so sincere, how can the guest be disappointed?Good to see nothing to lose? Mr. Wang didn't clap his hands this time, he tapped the armrest of the table seat with his left hand three times, and then Ye Kai heard the sound of gears turning. Following the sound, Ye Kai saw the wall from which the string music sounded, and suddenly sank. After the wall was completely lowered, seeing the situation inside, Ye Kai had the first impression: "Why are a group of children playing musical instruments?" But Ye Kai was a little more careful: "No, it's a group of monkeys playing musical instruments."

After Ye Kai saw it clearly, he was stunned: "What monkey? This is a group of monkeys with 'human head and monkey body'." Human head and monkey body! Now I finally see this legendary... Is this supposed to be a monkey?Or humans? "Is this... a monkey?" Ye Kai said in surprise. "They are monkeys." Mr. Wang still smiled kindly. "Then why do they have human heads?" "Human head?" Mr. Wang said, "Look carefully." Ye Kai didn't understand the meaning of Mr. Wang's words, so he looked back at him. "Look carefully." Mr. Wang said again.

"Look at what?" "Look at their heads." Mr. Wang said. It's not like Ye Kai has never seen what a human head looks like. Why did Mr. Wang ask him to look more carefully?Do these "heads" have other secrets? Although the "human heads" on these monkeys' necks are smaller, they are indeed human heads, no matter how you look at them, they are still "human heads".That's right! "Come closer and have a look." Mr. Wang said. No need for him to say that, Ye Kai would also come closer to look, but when he got closer, his eyes suddenly showed a kind of confusion, and his face was also full of suspicion.

Seeing these monkeys just now, and the distance is relatively far, Ye Kai instinctively believed that the heads of these monkeys belonged to humans, but now that he got closer, Ye Kai realized that the heads of these monkeys were just like " head" only. They are still the heads of monkeys, but the hair on their faces has been shaved off. From a distance, they look like human heads. three Seeing the truth clearly, Ye Kai couldn't help laughing. "Now I finally understand the saying 'what you see with your own eyes may not be true'." Ye Kai said with a smile: "People's eyes are often blinded by prejudices based on their ancestors." He looked back at Mr. Wang, and said, "If I hadn't heard the legend of the 'human head and monkey body', and your pretending to be mysterious, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been fooled by these monkeys all at once. .” "Monkeys are the ancestors of human beings." Mr. Wang poured a glass of wine with a smile: "If a person's face is covered with hair, do you think he is a monkey?" "Even if it's not, it's undoubtedly similar to a monkey." Ye Kai said. "So the monkeys you see now are monkeys with a human head and a monkey body." Mr. Wang said, "The reason why people have so many legends about me is because I am too far away from them." gone." He paused, took a sip of his wine, and then said: "If I were talking and laughing with those neighbors in the neighborhood, if I didn't 'enjoy myself behind closed doors', I believe there would not be so many rumors outside. .” —— Rumor-making is an innate human nature. The "psychology of sour grapes" is the patent product of some people, so there are so many right and wrong in this world, and love and resentment. ——Is this also the reason why human beings "progress slowly"? With the rise of that wall, the monkeys were once again excluded from the "human world." At this time, Ye Kai had of course returned to his seat, he drank back his drink slowly, and suddenly smiled again. "Only an elegant person like Mr. Wang would think of shaving the monkey's face." "I just think that since they want to imitate human behavior, they should also look like human beings." Mr. Wang said with a smile. Ye Kai suddenly asked again: "Then what does Mr. Wang think of Ma Kongqun?" "Ma Kongqun?" Mr. Wang was taken aback, "Ma Kongqun from Wanmatang?" "yes." Mr. Wang paused for a while, and then slowly said: "Although I understand monkeys, I can't understand people." He looked at Ye Kai, and said: "Although Ma Kongqun and I met each other two or three times, I don't know much about him." "Then why are you taking care of his daughter?" Ye Kai stared straight at his face. "His daughter?" Mr. Wang looked puzzled: "When did I take care of his daughter?" "I heard what she said with my own ears." Ye Kai said, "She said that she has lived with you for ten years." "That's not Ma Kongqun's daughter." Mr. Wang said, "That's Bai Yiling, Bai Yiling's daughter." "Oh?" Ye Kai said, "I thought it was Ma Kongqun's daughter Ma Fangling." Ye Kai's gaze never left Mr. Wang's face: "It's strange, why do they two look so similar? It's almost like the same person." "I have never met Ma Kongqun's daughters, so I don't know how similar they are." Mr. Wang said, "I only know that Bai Yiling is a good girl." His gaze was also fixed on Ye Kai: "So I have to observe carefully who she is going to marry." "Of course." Ye Kai smiled again: "Fortunately she didn't choose me, otherwise Mr. Wang must be very disappointed." "why?" "Because I must not pass your observation." Ye Kai said with a smile: "Not only am I very poor, but I am also an uneasy person. How can such a man be worthy of a good girl?" "Oh?" Mr. Wang said, "Is this really the kind of person you are?" "It's guaranteed to be true." Ye Kai said: "The only advantage of me is that I can see myself clearly, so I will never be a toad." Mr. Wang laughed again: "Is there such a good-looking Lai Toad in the world?" Hearing this, Ye Kai smiled. Regarding his appearance, he has always been very confident. Although he is not "the most beautiful man in the world", he can definitely be regarded as an "attractive man".After Ye Kai smiled, when he raised his glass to drink, he heard a loud noise. Before he could figure out what the noise was, he saw a monkey jumping onto the table and scurrying around on the table. "What happened to this monkey?" Ye Kai asked Mr. Wang. "Probably the animal nature has reappeared." Mr. Wang said. Ye Kai turned to look at the monkey on the table again, but just as he turned his head, the monkey suddenly rushed towards Ye Kai. He flicked his head, although the monkey's paw had already passed his face, but the wine glass in his hand was bumped by the monkey's foot. With a bang, the wine glass shattered. As soon as Ye Kai stopped, he saw the monkey turned over and ran out of the window. "Did it hurt you?" Old Mr. Yu asked with concern. "It's nothing." Ye Kai looked at his hands: "It's just that the wine glass cut his finger." "Does the wound matter?" "There's nothing wrong with the wound, it's just that it's late at night, and I've disturbed you for too long." Ye Kai stood up: "I hope I can talk with you again someday." "welcome." Four After Ye Kai left, Mr. Wang has been sitting without moving, the kind smile on his face no longer exists, replaced by a face full of thinking. After a long time, he said softly, "Come in." Someone outside the door immediately answered: "Yes." Wu Tian gently opened the door, walked away gently, walked to the side of Mr. Wang, and waited quietly for his orders. Mr. Wang picked up the fragment of the broken wine glass and stared at the blood on it, which was the blood left by Ye Kai when he let the monkey collide. "Take it for inspection." Mr. Wang handed the fragment to Wu Tian: "Let's see which type of blood it belongs to." "yes." "Notify the 'blood group' to add 'type one' blood." Mr. Wang said. "yes." Mr. Yu thought for a while, and then asked, "How is Monkey No. 7 doing now?" "It's more normal." Wu Tian said, "He no longer avoids the goldfish girl." Old Mr. Wang seemed to be very satisfied and nodded.
