Can monkeys of different generations learn from each other and exchange experiences

Zhou Ze couldn't help but laugh.

I just think this scene is really hilarious.

Then,

When I think of the "half-face" personality in my body that I often use,

Boss Zhou's smile began to fade gradually.

The weather is very good today, the sun is shining and the air quality is good. Zhou Ze feels that he should go back to his room and sleep early.

"Boss, there's smoke over there."

Yingying pointed to the distance outside the window and said.

Zhou Ze turned his head to look, then simply pushed open the door of the bookstore and stood on the street. The location where the smoke was coming out was northwest of the South Street Pedestrian Street, not very far away, and should be a residential area.

"It looks like there was a fire."

"It seems so."

"I hope no one is hurt or in danger."

"OK."

"I hope the firefighters are safe too."

"Yeah."

"Okay, Yingying, come up and sleep with me for a while. Help me prepare my clothes. I'll take a shower first."

"Okay, boss."

Boss Zhou walked into the bathroom and had just taken off his clothes. The water started running when his cell phone rang.

I took a quick glance and it was a call from Laodao.

If it were in the past, Boss Zhou would probably choose to take a shower first and talk about anything after taking a shower, but now that the old Taoist is like this, Boss Zhou feels embarrassed to treat him so casually. He could only wrap himself in a bath towel and answer the phone first.

"Hey, boss, there's a fire here."

"Huh? On fire? Oh, I saw it."

"Boss, I'm here. There's a family upstairs who hasn't come down yet. The fire is a bit fierce."

"oh."

Zhou Ze responded while reaching out to test the water temperature.

That's about it.

"No, I have to go save people. Boss, I'm done. I'm hanging up now."

"No, Taoist priest, don't..."

“Beep, beep, beep…”

Zhou Ze just stretched out his hand to pick up the sprayer, and immediately trembled.

I called again, but the number just kept ringing, but no one answered. Maybe the Taoist priest didn't care anymore.

Zhou Ze gritted his teeth.

He turned off the water, quickly put his clothes back on, opened the bathroom door and rushed out. Lao Xu had driven out to buy groceries, and there was no car parked in front of the store, so Zhou Ze simply started running.

Having experienced so many things and seen so many ups and downs, I can at least feel that there is often a pattern hidden in many seemingly chaotic and complicated things.

The old Taoist has now found out that it is advanced stage cancer.

Time is running out, maybe only three months.

If we encounter this fire again,

If you encounter someone in a fire who needs to be rescued,

It's like the stage has been set and the script has already provided you with what it thinks is a good way to end the show.

In his last years, he died saving others. He died a great and calm death.

only,

From Zhou Ze's perspective,

Even though the old Taoist was suffering from cancer, he seemed to have let it go.

But Boss Zhou didn't really think that the Taoist priest was doomed to die.

He still has many ways to help the Taoist priest prolong his life, but it is not the final moment yet, so he keeps accommodating the Taoist priest.

God knows what he is thinking now.

I am in my seventies.

And he was seriously ill,

Now I'm still trying to be a hero,

What if he really died in the fire

Zhou Ze was moving very fast. He deliberately chose an alley with few people, so he did not attract anyone's attention. The fire was indeed not far away. When Zhou Ze squeezed through the crowd and saw the burning residential building in front of him, he did not even have time to catch his breath. He first looked at the old Taoist in the crowd.

There were quite a few people watching, and many of them were taking pictures with their cell phones, but after looking around, Zhou Ze really didn't see the Taoist priest.

have to,

It should have gone up.

The sound of a fire truck could be heard in the distance, it should be coming soon, but Zhou Ze couldn't wait any longer. He could have ignored the fire when he was standing at the door of the store before, because he felt it had nothing to do with him, but now the Taoist priest was inside, and he had no choice but to go.

For a long time,

Boss Zhou has always been surrounded by two good people, Lao Dao and Lao Zhang.

But to be honest,

The saying that one is like entering a room full of orchids and not smelling the fragrance for a long time, then becoming one with it, does not exist in Boss Zhou.

There were a lot of people outside, so Zhou Ze first rushed into the burning residential building. He did not choose to go up the corridor, but instead climbed out of the window at the entrance of the corridor on the first floor and climbed up from the side that was invisible to the crowd like Spider-Man.

Boss Zhou did not go directly to the upper floors to rescue people. He was worried about the Taoist's current physical condition. He seemed to be fine on weekdays, but if he really had other problems due to inhaling too much smoke, he might faint in the corridor.

Fortunately,

Until he was almost at the seventh floor, Zhou Ze did not see the old Taoist fainting on the stairs, and he could hear his shouting from the outside wall.

"Come out quickly, come out, you can still go down now, take a handkerchief, wet it and cover your mouth, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, cough cough cough, cough cough..."

Fire prevention knowledge is actually very popular. For example, every time you go to the cinema to watch a movie, you will be "educated" once;

But when a fire situation really occurs, under the influence of panic and fear, very few people can really calm down and respond in the way that was popularized in the past.

The fire should have started on the middle floor. At present, the fire has not spread completely, but there is a lot of smoke.

Zhou Ze climbed in through the window at the corridor entrance and walked towards the old Taoist priest.

Looking at the old Taoist priest who was anxiously covering his mouth and nose with a wet cloth that he got from nowhere,

Boss Zhou really wanted to kick him!

I ask you to show off your ability.

I told you not to cause me trouble!

I should be sitting in the bathtub taking a bath right now, but you made me run here and smell of cigarettes all over me.

At this moment, a young woman leaned out of the room, with a big golden retriever at her feet.

"You carry it down first. I'm worried something might happen to Beibei."

"I'll take you down first, don't worry about the dog, big sister."

"No, I won't go down if it doesn't go down first. I don't care, I don't care. I can't leave Beibei behind. You have to carry Beibei down first. If anything happens to Beibei, I won't live either. I won't live!"

At this time,

The Taoist priest also noticed the black smoke at the entrance of the corridor.

A familiar figure walked out.

If it’s not our own boss, then who is it

The old Taoist immediately grinned and smiled. Now that the boss was here, everything would be fine.

Just a small fire, is that a big deal for the boss

But soon,

The old Taoist found something wrong.

The boss's face was very gloomy, and it wasn't blackened by smoke; the anger inside was really showing through.

The experienced Taoist priest, who had rich experience in testing the edge of death, immediately became alert.

It's worse.

The boss is angry!

"Boss, come here..."

"Bang!"

Zhou Ze kicked over.

The old Taoist looked in astonishment as the woman standing at the door was kicked away by her boss.

… … …

On the rooftop opposite the residential building where the fire broke out,

There was a dirty monkey squatting there.

It wore a silver mask on its face, a bell hung around its neck, and a paper man the size of an adult's palm was tied around its waist.

at this time,

The dirty monkey is having a great time wearing a mask.

But suddenly,

It suddenly took off its mask,

Then the body began to retreat continuously.

He vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

After taking off the mask, you can find that the monkey's eyes are dull and stupid, without any of the spirituality unique to monkeys. It looks more like a confused and stupid creature.

The paper man on the dirty monkey's waist fell down at this time and floated in the air.

"Thanks a lot."

An old voice sounded.

There was a sudden moment of clarity in the dirty monkey's turbid eyes, but then they immediately returned to being turbid again.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

The dirty monkey seemed to be going crazy.

He began to fight madly with the air in front of him.

It kept jumping up and grabbing with its arms upwards, then jumping up again after landing and continuing to grab, like a madman and tirelessly.

It was as if there was a non-existent bird circling above its head, and the bird seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to peck it. The monkey would make a hissing sound in its throat and step back from time to time.

The paper figure continued to float there,

He looked at the residential building on fire across the street.

Then he looked at the dirty monkey fighting the air.

Because it's a paper figure.

So no expression.

But on him,

But it was filled with a very strong smell of death.

Like a coffin board that has been rotten to the extreme,

He was pulled back under the sun and exposed to the sun!

“Squeak! Squeak!!!!”

The dirty monkey suddenly jumped twice as high as before.

Then he grasped something with both hands.

After landing, he pressed it tightly under his feet.

Then the mouth goes down,

Start biting hard.

Bitten,

Still air.

But in this process,

There seemed to be a sound of birds crying,

as well as,

Under the feet of the dirty monkey,

There was also a faint golden smoke that began to spread.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared with the wind, as if it had never appeared.

“Squeak… Hehehe…”

The dirty monkey raised his head,

He was drooling as he looked at the paper figure floating in front of him.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The paper man repeated this sentence again.

The dirty monkey continued to smile foolishly.

Sit down,

Started breathing heavily.

The paper figure floated to the railing of the rooftop.

With the arrival of fire trucks, the fire is beginning to be brought under control and there is no threat of spreading for the time being.

“The shroud… you received it;

The person to be buried with you has already been found.

under,

you,

You can go die now. "

The paper man raised his head.

A ball of blue flame began to rise.

When this fire appeared,

The surrounding scenery also began to dim.

“I don’t want to care whether the era of Taishan has completely ended.

But this unworthy descendant,

“Must…die…”

The paper man sighed.

Throw the blue flame in your hand forward.

Sadly said:

"If you die... the next generation... will still have some... hope..."
