Chapter 86: Living with monkeys

Views:

The small abandoned shed could barely provide shelter from the sun and rain, and the surrounding environment was also messy, but at least there was no obvious garbage. Instead, there were some children's toys neatly stacked.

Oh, there's another person, lying there.

Unfortunately, no reporters passed by there at that time. Otherwise, if they had captured the scene of dozens of stray dogs and cats dragging a person together, it would definitely have moved many people to tears after it was released.

The little monkey was holding a black thing in his hand, which looked like a lump of mud, but the mud looked very clean.

Then, it took out a little and slowly applied it to the wound of the man next to it.

The man had too many wounds, two burns on his chest, a penetrating wound on his back, and countless cuts all over his body. After the application, more than half of the man's body was covered in mud.

It looks like a beggar's chicken about to be unearthed.

The monkey sometimes feels helpless, because it really doesn't like men and often has the urge to strangle him to death. But after each struggle, it can only subconsciously think of ways to prolong his life and not let him die in front of it.

He should have died with such serious injuries. Even though he fell from the roof and hit the garbage dump, which reduced most of the force, his original injuries were enough to kill an ordinary person several times.

But he was not dead. Sometimes the monkey would put his ear against the other's chest and could hear the strong heartbeat.

Judging from the sound of his heartbeat, the other person seemed to be very healthy and not weak at all, but overall, it was really a miracle that he still had a heartbeat.

As if his heart was a separate part from his whole being,

Even if other organs of the body have long been dying, the heart is still jumping around happily and doing its own thing.

In this way, seven days passed. During these seven days, the man did not wake up and was still in a coma. The monkey tried to feed some mashed food into the man's mouth.

The food was brought to it by stray dogs and cats as a gift. It would mash it up and feed it to the man, but every time after feeding it, the unconscious man would quickly vomit it out.

This made the monkey very angry. It gave him the cleanest and most delicious food that originally belonged to it, but he actually vomited it out!

The monkey felt that his life was a bit tasteless. Look, he usually thought the food was great, but he instinctively refused to eat it even when he was unconscious.

This is disrespecting me!

The monkey was in a bad mood, so he found a half-empty can of Lao Gan Ma in the shack and fed it directly to the monkey. The monkey had eaten it before and it was so spicy that it jumped up and down.

To the monkey's surprise, the guy actually ate it. The monkey took some more food and mashed it up to continue feeding him, and he also ate it.

The monkey was shocked.

What the hell are the flavors of this!

Finally, on the eighth day, Zhou Ze's eyelids began to tremble slightly. He slowly opened his eyes, somewhat puzzled as to where he was. It was neither a hospital nor a bookstore.

It's more like a homeless person's makeshift shelter.

At the same time, a furry tail swayed in front of him.

A little girl's face was facing him.

Oh no,

It was a bright red apple facing me.

It seems not.

finally,

Zhou Ze saw it clearly.

It was a monkey's butt facing him.

The monkey was smearing mud on his wound with his hands. Zhou Ze could even smell the fishy smell of mud. He was a little anxious and wanted to open his mouth to remind the monkey that doing so might cause his wound to become inflamed and festered, but after opening his mouth, Zhou Ze could only make a "Uh... " sound.

My lips were a little dry and my throat was very sore, and I couldn't make any sound.

The monkey was startled and finally turned the little sister's face around and faced Zhou Ze with his own face.

The man and the monkey began to stare at each other.

The monkey suddenly scratched his ears and cheeks. He woke up, but the way he opened his eyes seemed even more annoying!

Zhou Ze found it a bit absurd. He had almost forgotten what happened on the rooftop that day. He only remembered that he seemed to have had a good fight.

It seemed like he was fighting with a woman, or like he was fighting with a Japanese. In short, the fight was confusing, and the final outcome was also confusing.

It feels like a drunkard waking up the next day with some fragmented memories of what happened the next day.

If you can't speak, don't speak. If you can't move, don't move. There is a monkey next to you, so just let it be.

Since his resurrection as a bookstore owner, Dr. Zhou, who was diligent and career-climbing in his previous life, has successfully transformed into a handsome man who knows how to go with the flow.

Just like an old man in his eighties or nineties, he has become indifferent to things that he should not. But Zhou Ze has actually died once.

As usual, the monkey smeared mud on his wounds every day, fed himself Lao Gan Ma, spicy strips, Wangzai steamed buns, half a chicken leg and other foods.

Then after serving himself every day, the monkey would stand in front of him, holding a plastic toy hammer and hitting his own head again and again, looking very unhappy.

Zhou Ze felt that the monkey seemed a little mentally ill.

However, this monkey is really smart, unlike ordinary monkeys. It can even understand the meaning in your eyes. However, most of the time, apart from serving Zhou Ze, it is unwilling to stay around Zhou Ze for too long.

She often stuck out her butt, turned her little sister's face towards Zhou Ze, and then stared at the sun or the moon in the sky in a daze and thought.

This is a monkey with a story, and he also knows how to think about life.

In the first few days after waking up, Zhou Ze didn't feel anything unusual, but after four or five days, Zhou Ze suddenly thought of something.

The Monkey King jumped out of a stone, which was no easy feat.

It seems unlikely that such "human-like" monkeys would appear one after another in the small city of Tongcheng.

And I seemed to have just seen a monkey a few days ago.

Then,

He killed the monkey himself.

That incident eventually led to a very fucked-up thing. An old idiot who claimed to be his servant invited him to dinner and then cooked his conscience into a dish.

But I did kill that monkey. Even if I didn't find its soul in the end, it should have lost its physical body.

One night, the monkey came back from outside with a bundle of newspaper in his hand. He unfolded the newspaper and found a fried dough stick inside.

Zhou Ze could now barely swallow by himself. The monkey tore off a fried dough stick, fed himself a bite, and then dipped the fried dough stick in Lao Gan Ma and fed Zhou Ze a bite.

The man and the monkey developed some tacit understanding in their lives during this period of time.

Halfway through eating the dough sticks, the monkey suddenly froze and stopped moving. It was reading a newspaper.

Zhou Ze was a little surprised. He thought the monkey was very smart, but he didn't expect it to be so smart that it could read a newspaper.

Just like your pet dog at home, if it can poop and pee at a fixed place and can sit and crawl when you command it, you will think it is very smart. But if one day you see your dog sitting on the toilet and flushing it,

You won't find it clever, you'll find it scary.

Fortunately,

The monkey is not actually reading the words.

Instead, I was looking at the cover of this newspaper.

"Surgery on three-legged boy was a success".

The monkey looked at the picture.

After a long pause,

Like a person, he sighed, and then the monkey reached out and wiped his eyes.

Zhou Ze looked at the monkey. At this moment, he felt no fear in his heart. Yes, this monkey was the one he had killed before. Now he was sure of it.

But now, the monkey is repaying evil with kindness.

It saved itself. Although it didn't know what happened to the mud, it at least controlled its injuries.

The monkey's cultivation was ruined because he was captured by the lumberjack he rescued, who took his brain and ate his meat. But it seems that even though this monkey has lost some of its previous memories, its nature remains the same.

The monkey felt a little melancholy, and then continued to share the remaining fried dough sticks with Zhou Ze. The monkey found a rope and tied one end around Zhou Ze's neck.

Zhou Ze did not react and let the monkey do what it wanted until the rope was tied around Zhou Ze's neck and the monkey sat down beside Zhou Ze's bed.

It looked at Zhou Ze, and Zhou Ze also looked at it.

There were tears in the monkey's eyes, filled with anger, hatred, and unwillingness.

Just as Zhou Ze recognized it, the monkey seemed to recognize Zhou Ze as well.

It is hard to say who is right or wrong in the grudge between two people, but if one side says that a conclusion needs to be drawn, it seems reasonable.

The monkey slowly tightened the rope. It could now strangle Zhou Ze to death, just like how Zhou Ze had killed himself in the hospital by piercing his body with his nails.

Zhou Ze lay there, seemingly without the slightest ability to resist.

At this time, several stray dogs appeared outside the shack, and their animal instincts told them that there might be a big meal soon.

With their IQ level, they naturally don’t understand why their own monkey brother would kill this person after saving him. Maybe he thinks that the meat will taste better if the person is well raised

But the monkey suddenly turned around and bared its teeth at the stray dogs outside.

Several stray dogs were frightened and ran away.

The monkey looked at Zhou Ze dejectedly again, then reached out to untie the rope around Zhou Ze's neck.

“Bang!”

The monkey slapped himself in the face, a very loud slap.

Then it jumped off the bed, dug out a mobile phone with a broken screen from the garbage, and then jumped in front of Zhou Ze.

The cell phone was turned on. It was what Monkey brought back yesterday. Zhou Ze saw a signal on the broken screen of the phone, which meant that there was a usable card in the phone.

The monkey knew what a mobile phone was. It stretched out its paw and pointed at the buttons on the phone, signaling Zhou Ze to tell it which one to press.

Zhou Ze reached out and took the phone from Monkey.

The monkey was startled by Zhou Ze's outstretched hand. It didn't expect that he could already move.

As long as his hands can move, so can his nails.

After a while,

Zhou Ze smiled.

Then the monkey picked up his plastic toy hammer again.

This time it was directed at Zhou Ze's head:

“Bo Bo Bo!!!”

I told you to pretend!

I told you to pretend!

I told you to pretend!

After knocking for a while,

The monkey dropped the plastic toy hammer in his hand.

Sit there,

Also laughed.
