Chapter 286 Wukong
The tiger left, but everyone did not dare to relax their vigilance. The tiger beast was not only fierce, but sometimes it was also very cunning. After waiting for a long time, the mountain people carefully said: "That big insect should have left."
Wen Pin nodded and looked at Liu Yi and said, "Sir, this mountain is not safe, so I'll go back to the camp."
Liu Yi nodded. You Emei also had a whim. However, the mountains and forests of this era are obviously not the same as the protected areas of the previous life. There is no need to be so tired that a few soldiers were injured for the sake of his temporary You Xing. He agreed and prepared to go back.
"What is that?" Liu Yi suddenly felt something moving in the corner of his eyes. He turned his head in confusion, but saw something moving next to the corpse of the monkey that had been bitten by a tiger before.
Curious, Liu Yi asked Wen Pin to wait first and wanted to go over and take a look.
Anyway, there should be no danger nearby for the time being, and Wen Pin did not stop him. He just protected Liu Yi and followed Liu Yi to go there.
Under the tall tree trunk, the blood of the headless monkey corpse was still flowing out of the cavity. There was a little monkey beside it, with a small body pushing the monkey corpse hard, and wailing sounds from its mouth from time to time.
Liu Yi has been in this era for seven or eight years. He has been used to fighting and fighting in battles and tragedies on earth, and he has long lost much sympathy, but when he sees this scene, he still feels a little more pity.
Wen Pin sighed: "This monkey is pitiful."
"Hey~" the mountain man next to him smiled and said, "General, when the big insect had not come, the monkeys in the mountain were in disaster. We waited for the mountain to hunt. Sometimes we would rather meet jackals than encounter these splashing monkeys. They were in groups and liked to play with people the most. There were more than a dozen people, and there were dozens or hundreds of people. They were not afraid of seeing strangers coming. They even liked to plunder the things on us. Many hunters were robbed by them. If someone shot them, they would chase them in groups and chase them all the way to the village."
"So powerful, can a big insect scare them away?" Wen Pin said without believing. There are so many monkeys and are used to group attacks. No matter how powerful a tiger is, it will not scare all the monkeys on the mountain away, right?
"That big insect is not an ordinary big insect. I don't know where it comes from. I like to eat monkey heads and are extremely ferocious. These monkeys are just baring their teeth with us. When they really meet such a mountain overlord, they roared and frightened all over the mountain." The mountain people said disdainfully.
"Squeak~Squeak~" Xiaohou looked at the people surrounding him with some fear, wanting to escape, but he seemed reluctant to let his mother go. He dragged his mother's hand and bared his teeth at everyone. His little look was quite cute, but it made people laugh a little.
"It's a fate to meet, so let's help your mother get into peace." Liu Yi looked at the little monkey, sighed, looked around, and asked someone to cut down a tree, took the knife from the soldiers, cut the tree down, and then dialed it into a coffin, making the lid.
Wen Pin laughed and said, "Sir, it's just a splash of monkeys, why bother to be so serious?"
"Everything has spirits. When I met it, I saw that this monkey was pitiful and felt pity, so I helped its mother to rest assured." Liu Yi had heard that the monkey brain had few delicacies. The tiger should have tasted the sweetness, so he fed with the monkey brain. There was no need to blame anything. The law of nature is like this. The strong prey on the weak, and there is no reason to say. But he was unhappy when he looked at the little monkey, so he made a coffin.
The clever mountain people had already dug a hole at this moment. Liu Yi smiled and thanked him, dragging the coffin to the monkey corpse.
"Squeak~" Seeing that Liu Yi reached out and wanted to hug his mother, the little monkey became anxious and lay in his mother's arms, baring his teeth at Liu Yi.
"It's dead!" Liu Yi stretched out his hand and pushed the little monkey away. The little monkey was probably just weaned, so how could he resist it? Liu Yi pushed it away. Seeing Liu Yi picking up his mother, he rushed to Liu Yi's side again, biting Liu Yi's trouser legs, trying to climb up.
"Knock~" The mountain man pulled out his waist knife and looked at the little monkey fiercely.
Animals are generally afraid of this metal sound. The little monkey was so scared that he stepped aside when he heard the sound, but refused to leave. He looked at Liu Yi with a gaze and shouted anxiously.
Liu Yi asked someone to put the coffin made into a pit dug by the mountain people and began to fill the soil. The little monkey screamed and rushed into the pit, holding the coffin and looking at the people around him with a fierce look on his face.
Liu Yi sighed and leaned over to pick up the little monkey: "Stop making trouble, I'm dead."
It's strange that the little monkey who was still noisy before came to Liu Yi's arms and calmed down, which made the mountain people amazed. However, Liu Yi knew that various attribute pendants on his body played a role, many of which were things that could make people feel at peace with their minds and body, and others felt the most. This little monkey was held in Liu Yi's arms and felt the deepest, but he just watched the coffin was buried, with his little head hanging down in Liu Yi's arms.
After inserting a tombstone without a word on the earthen bun, Liu Yi touched the little monkey's head and placed it on the ground. The coffin has the attribute of blessings to the descendants. Although there are not many, it should be able to give the little monkey some blessings. As for what it will in the future, it depends on its own ability.
"Let's go." Liu Yi stood up and smiled at Wen Pin, "It's been delayed a lot of time, General Zhongye should not be surprised."
"This is the kindness of the gentleman. How dare I blame him?" Wen Pin shook his head and smiled.
Be kind?
Liu Yi sighed when he heard this. Although he had no intention of participating in the troubled times, since he had joined Liu Bei, there were many people who died because of him over the years. If he talked about kindness, he was not qualified to say it, but he suddenly felt compassion.
"Huh?" Liu Yi took two steps and suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked down, he saw the little monkey lying at his feet, holding his legs, and looking at him with his eyes.
"What does this mean?" Liu Yi was a little stunned. Could this monkey be dependent on him?
He picked it off a few times, but it stuck it up again. Wen Pin smiled and said, "Sir, it seems that this monkey is entangling you."
"The little guy is quite spiritual." Liu Yi leaned over and picked up the little guy.
"Sir, this little thing is not easy to support!" the mountain man next to him reminded.
"Oh?" Liu Yi had no experience in raising monkeys, so he looked at the mountain man and said, "It's very picky about food?"
"That's not, people eat whatever they eat, but this little thing is changeable and prone to irritability. Unless they are specially tamed, it will be difficult for ordinary people to tame it." The mountain man shook his head and said.
"It's okay, it's suppressed." Liu Yi held the little monkey in his arms and looked at it and said, "I really want to go with me?"
"Zhizhi~" The little monkey naturally didn't know what Liu Yi was saying, but was just a little happy.
"Well, from now on, I will call you..." Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "I will call you Wukong."
Liu Yi was considering whether he would raise a pig in the future and let Wu be his companion with him?
"Squeak~"
Liu Yi hugged him for a while and found that the monkey was very obedient, so he simply put it on his shoulder and let it lie on his shoulder to continue walking. The monkey was also very obedient and did not move around while lying on Liu Yi's shoulder, which surprised the mountain people.
After going down the mountain, Liu Yi asked someone to give the mountain people more money, and then followed Wen Pin to return to the military camp.
In the next few days, Wenpin continued to direct people to transport supplies to the ship. Liu Yi is now fine, but with a little monkey by his side, he doesn't feel bored.
On Liu Yi's mother-in-law's boat, Liu Yi silently carved a monkey statue. Wukong looked at the wood carving gradually carved by Liu Yi in curiosity. He seemed to think he had met a similar person. He poked his claws from time to time. Liu Yi glanced at him and retracted his claws, but after a while, he stretched out his claws.
After five days of leisure, Wen Pin came to meet Liu Yi: "Sir, the baggage, food and grass have been shipped on board. Can you set off?"
Liu Yi looked at Wen Pin and said with a smile: "General is the leader of the navy. There is no need to ask me about this."
I just came to take a sailboat, and there was no need or qualification to command the fleet. Wen Pin came over to ask for advice and just expressed his respect for Liu Yi. If I really thought I was self-righteous and went to point fingers, that would be a pitfall in my mind.
"So, we set out." Wen Pin said with a smile.
After getting along these days, Wen Pin has a good sense of being with Liu Yi. Although he has a high official rank and is not very famous under Liu Bei, he does not have much arrogant attitude and is quite easy to get along with. Over the past few days, both sides have become much more casual in getting along with each other, and occasionally they can make some harmless jokes.
The fleet departs from the Minjiang River and takes three days to enter the Yangtze River. According to Wenpin, as long as you enter the Yangtze River and go downstream, you can reach the generals in at most two days without the help of the wind.
Liu Yi remembered an ancient poem, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't publish it. This kind of thing is better to be in his stomach. He is not suitable for taking the poet's route. He always pretends like this and one day he will not be able to calm down the scene.
Besides, with my current reputation and status, there is no need to rely on plagiarizing poems to attract attention.
It seemed that he was gradually leaving his hometown, and it might be seasick. Wukong's mood became depressed. Even if Liu Yi teased it, it would not have much energy.
Three days later, as Wen Pin said, after entering the mainstream of the Yangtze River, the fleet suddenly accelerated a lot, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated. In just one day, it passed Yiling. The afterglow of the sunset fell on the river. Liu Yi sat on the head of the bed, Wukong lay on Liu Yi's lap, and one person and a monkey looked at the river surface quietly under the sunset.
After three years of leaving home, I have seen this beautiful scenery again. There is only a monkey by my side. Liu Yi has the urge to return home to see his wife, but for some reason, he has an indescribable complex feeling.
"This is a timid feeling near home! Isn't it, Goku?"
