The Monkey King

Chapter 10:

The hunter stood up and lightly dipped the blade with his hand.

When he turned around, the monkey already understood.

The moment of death finally came, and he began to struggle with all his might.

“Run… run… bird run!”

The same nervous Queer’s voice came from behind: “It’s still a little bit, it’s still a little bit.”

“Crack!” The rope broke!

“Run!” Queer flapped her wings and flew up.

threw off the rope, and the monkey endured the severe pain in his abdomen and ran into the woods.

The hunter looked at all this in surprise. He picked up the bow and arrow that had been thrown aside, drew the bow, and aimed at the monkey’s back, but paused again, and turned to aim at the panicked bird!

“咻—”

There was an ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air, and the arrow did not hit the bird, but passed through her chest!

Suddenly, the blood flowed like a stream!

Queer seemed to be drained of strength in an instant, and fell down, but was caught firmly by the monkey.

He clutched the bird to his chest, ran desperately, and kept dodging under the cover of the trees.

The hunter put a bow behind him and shot three more arrows, but missed. The hunter immediately changed his dagger and quickly followed.

“Queer, Queer! It’s alright! We can definitely run away! You have to hold on!”

went straight through the woods, until he could no longer hear the footsteps behind him, the monkey stopped and looked down at Queer tremblingly.

The warm blood has penetrated the hair on his chest, and the bird is dying!

widened his eyes in horror, and the monkey’s heart hurt like a needle.

He tried to cover the wound with his hands in a panic, so that the blood would not continue to flow, but the blood still seeped from his fingers and dripped onto the ground.

“Quieer! Don’t die!”

“Monkey…” Queer stretched her neck slightly, her expression of pain beyond words.

She opened her mouth wide and seemed to be saying something, but her voice was pitifully small.

Monkey hurriedly got down and put his ear to her mouth.

“Monkey…if you succeed…remember to take me back to Huaguoshan…I don’t want…to be too far from you…”

The sound is gone…

In the cold night, the silence…

The    monkey trembled, stood up trembling, but fell to the ground again, and slowly moved a few steps back.

Looking at the sparrow who no longer moved at all, tears were drawn from the corners of his eyes drop by drop.

“Chick! Chick! Don’t die!” he cried heart-rendingly.

But this little canary has stopped talking, not saying her nagging words.

The temperature passed little by little on her smaller body.

The monkey covered his head with his hands and grabbed his hair: “Impossible…no…”

At this moment, a hand grabbed him from behind him!

Turning around suddenly, he saw those cannibalizing eyes again!

I don’t know where he got the strength at that time, he threw it desperately and grabbed the hunter’s cheek directly! The sharp fingernails slashed, and the blood splattered immediately!

“Boil—”

With a painful cry, the hunter let go.

The monkey fled in panic again, and when the hunter recovered his strength, he had already fled to hide behind a rock not far away.

The monkey doesn’t want to die, but he can’t go either – the bird is still here!

However, the next scene made him completely collapse.

The hunter looked around while covering the wound, and was about to leave, but found the body of the ground bird.

So, right in front of the monkey, he squatted down, picked up the bird, and pulled it hard—

The orange feathers fell to the ground, mixed with blood, and the hungry hunter fed the flesh and blood into his mouth bit by bit!

In an instant, the monkey’s heart was twisted into powder.

Tears poured out of his eyes as if they had burst an embankment, mixed with the blood oozing from the open wound in his abdomen, and spilled onto the ground together!

…

He knelt on the ground, blood oozing from the wound on his abdomen, the pain was severe, but less than one ten thousandth of the heartache.

Tears slid down his cheeks like a dam, wetting the fluff on his body.

Monkey covered his mouth, his wide eyes were completely shrouded in tears, and everything in front of him was blurry.

In the pale moonlight, the hunter’s body trembled slightly, and the torn pieces of meat and bones were peeled off from the feathers bit by bit and then put into the mouth and chewed.

The monkey couldn’t do anything, he couldn’t even protect himself, so he could only squat behind the stone and watch helplessly.

Watching what the hunter did to Queer, watching him leave, watching the blood and broken bones in that place.

“Que…er…” With just two words, he lost his voice.

He just knelt like this, clutching the wound in his abdomen, letting the tears flow, for a long time, for a long time, without saying a word.

The sun rose and set, until three days later, the monkey stood up again.

No one knew how he survived and buried the remains of the bird. Instead of continuing to the west, he headed towards the hunter’s camp.

Half a month later, on a dark and windy night, he touched the head of the hunter’s bed and smashed his head into pieces with the hunter’s own axe.

The sleeping hunter didn’t even have time to cry.

The    slashed down, and the brains splashed and splashed on the monkey’s face.

It was the first time to kill someone who was the same as himself. He didn’t have the slightest fear, but he was just crazy, like a wild animal.

At that moment, maybe he no longer regards himself as a human being, he feels that he and Queer are the same kind, and the one in front of him is just a beast who wants to eat them!

Not to hunters like tigers, monkeys just kill.

There is no point in doing anything.

He took the hunter’s dagger back to Que’er’s tomb and carved a tombstone out of a piece of wood.

Looking at the crooked and slanted Chinese characters – “The Tomb of Monkey King, Monkey King”, the monkey’s tears once again burst into his eyes.

Wiping away his tears, the monkey choked and said, “I will continue to go west, and I will come back. Queer, wait for me. Remember what I told you about Taishang Laojun? He is not only a person who can make people immortal. Dan, and Resurrection Pill. No matter how many years, no matter how many roads, I will definitely come back, you must wait for me. Wait for me to marry you.”

Ten years, a whole ten years, at first because of unwillingness, then it became impossible to retreat, and then, it became a complete obsession.

Ten years later, when the monkey arrived at Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, he didn’t even know how he finished the journey.

“When I first started, I imagined with Queer the beauty of learning after arriving at Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai. It was a kind of self-inspiration. Even in the desert surrounded by a group of wolves on a dead tree for three days and three nights, we never gave up.”

“That confidence lasted until I was caught by a hunter. He tied me up while he sharpened his knife. I tried to speak to him so he knew I was not an ordinary monkey, even if I was sold It’s better to give it to anyone than to eat me. But it’s no use, he’s too hungry, there’s a famine there. Not even a talking monkey, even a talking fairy can’t stop him from sharpening his knife.”

“Then I escaped, and Queer rescued me. But she… I lost my only companion. Facing her **** wound that night, I found that I was just a useless monkey and couldn’t do anything but sidelined. Tears while watching life pass by her.”

“That hunter, he actually…”

“After that, I stopped crying every now and then. I thought maybe it was because all the tears dried up that night.”

“She said that I should remember to go back to pick her up when she was successful. She didn’t want to be too far away from me. Then I buried her on a small hillside and made a stele of wood for her – ‘The Tomb of the Great Sage Monkey King Monkey King’, I’m afraid I can’t find it when I go back…”

“I will definitely go back, definitely!”

“…”

“Afterwards, I don’t know what supported me to finish this road, but I just felt that my feet kept moving forward stubbornly, and all thoughts about giving up were cleared in my mind.”

“Monsters, immortals, I’ve encountered everything, beasts, hunters, it’s just commonplace. Nothing can stop me from going on.”

“At that time, I thought, I have even walked this road, what else in this world can beat me?”

Ten years later, the one who climbed Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai is no longer the original traverser, but a humble monkey, a thorough beast, a soul from the abyss.
