Chapter 18 Monkey Wine
Because of drinking last night, Cui Yunming slept for a while in the morning. In a daze, he could vaguely hear the sound of fighting outside, so he struggled to get up and go out to check.
I saw that the yard was now in a ball. Lu Wu, who was eight feet tall, chased and beat a monkey less than four feet in the yard with a wooden stick in his hand. The monkey also held a wooden stick he found from there that he didn't know, jumping up and down, running around, fighting with Lu Wu in an incredible way.
The monkey jumped onto the windowsill, turned around suddenly, raised the wooden stick and smashed it at Lu Wu in the face. Lu Wu blocked him with a fire. With a bang, the burly Lu Wu was actually staggered by the stick and took two steps back.
Zhuge Wolong, who was watching next to him, couldn't help but smack his tongue, "How come this monkey has such strength in a small figure?"
Cui Yunming was also amazed by it. They had seen Lu Wu's strength yesterday. They could lift a hundred kilograms of water tanks with one hand. Unexpectedly, the monkey looked skinny and could not find three taels of meat on his body, but he could beat Lu Wu backwards.
Lu Wu has been practicing martial arts for many years, and it is difficult to find a low-handed within a radius of dozens of miles. Unexpectedly, he suffered a loss on a monkey today. He was so angry that he screamed, "That monkey, don't run around, you have the ability to fight with grandpa!"
"Squeak!" The monkey squatted on the windowsill and squeaked, as if he was mocking Lu Wu, but he still didn't confront him head-on. Relying on his flexibility, he jumped around and fought around.
He jumped behind Lu Wu and poked his back, then jumped to the tree and knocked on his forehead. Lu Wu finally blocked it in the corner of the wall, but saw the monkey brushing through his crotch and hit his heel with a stick in his backhand. Lu Wu screamed in pain.
In a hurry, Lu Wu tried his best to play the wooden stick, making a sound like a spirit snake swaggering, protecting his whole body. �
The monkey had no choice but to fight and retreat. However, after only a little effort, it imitated Lu Wu to play with a wooden stick. The same stick shadow flashed, protecting its whole body.
This monkey is so smart! It must be not an ordinary livestock in the mountains. Cui Yunming thought to himself and shouted, "Brother Lu will stop for the time being."
Lu Wu was grateful to Cui Yunming. He stopped immediately when he heard him speak. The monkey turned around and quickly threw down the wooden stick and bowed and kowtowed to Cui Yunming.
Hey, what's going on? Cui Yunming quickly stepped forward and helped it up. He asked Lu Wu again, "Where did this monkey come from? Why did he fight with you again?"
"It's so good for me to know, but I can't blame me for this! Yesterday I had half a jar left when I was drinking. I woke up in the morning and quickly got up to clean up, afraid of leaking the alcohol! Who would have thought that as soon as I came out, I saw this evil beast lying in the yard. The wine in the jar had been completely drunk by it!"
"There is only this jar of old wine left by my grandfather. I originally wanted to invite the teacher to enjoy it, but I was secretly drunk by it. How could I agree?" Lu Wu said angrily.
The monkey seemed to realize that he was wrong, so he quickly picked up two fluffy claws and bowed to Lu Wu repeatedly.
This scene made Cui Yunming and Zhuge Wolong laugh at the same time. Zhuge Wolong touched his beard and said, "Brother Lu, it seems that this monkey already knows that he is wrong. You just forgive it this time, right?"
Lu Wu was originally a straightforward man. He was so angry that he stole his wine before. Now he saw that Hou'er bowed and apologized. He felt that he was too stingy. He quickly replied, "Since the sir, I will forgive you."
After saying that, he said angrily, "You monkey, you just want to drink and come here directly. Can I, Mr. Lu, still not bear to have a jar of wine?"
"Sir, although my grandfather left only this jar of wine, my father's winemaking skills are not worse than my grandfather's at all. There are still a lot in the cellar. I will go back and get it. Let's have another drink at night!"
Lu Wu was impatient. After saying that, he hurried away without waiting for Cui Yunming to agree. The monkey's eyes turned and followed him down the mountain.
Cui Yunming was a little surprised, but at this time the pilgrim had already gone up the mountain and had no time to think about it.
The aftermath of Song Weizhong's struck by lightning had not yet dissipated. The news of the Evil Wuzi and his gang being struck to death came again. The already crowded mountain was becoming more and more crowded.
Cui Yunming was tired and happy. If this continues, he might be able to save enough incense to open the second Lei Mansion. Moreover, after drinking yesterday, he had not had time to check how much thunder patterns on the door of another Lei Mansion were lit. If he had good luck, this one might be about to open.
At noon, Zhang Shifeng and Qian Xingye visited together and told Cui Yunming about the consequences of the evil Wuzi. Yesterday, Li Fengnian sent a yamen runner to the wild boar forest overnight, searched the cottage and burned it.
Most of the money seized was distributed to the families of the people who were murdered by Ewuzi and others, and the rest was distributed to those rescued by Cui Yunming. Qian Xingye's boss also agreed to resettle those homeless women.
As for the remaining few bandits, they were all lightly, allowing them to serve to build bridges and pave roads for the county to atone for their sins. When the year comes, they can regain their freedom.
This arrangement was appropriate. Zhang Shifeng and Qian Xingye talked for a while and left first. Before Qian Xingye left, he stuffed a lot of silver into the merit box.
After working hard for a day, it was getting dark again. The temple was just calm, and Cui Yunming and Zhuge Wolong were preparing to make a fire and cook, while Lu Wu came over with wine and meat.
"Mr. Cui, Mr. Zhuge, this is the wild boar meat that my mother smoked. This is the wine my father made back then. Let's have a good time today!"
"I'm very greedy, I'm afraid I can't accompany you, so let's have fun!" Zhuge Wolong was a little scared and waved his hands repeatedly.
Lu Wu smiled and went straight to the kitchen to work. After a while, he smelled the fragrance of wild boar. When the dishes were ready, everyone set up tables and chairs in the yard to prepare to drink.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a few squeaks at the door. When I looked back, I saw that the monkey from yesterday came again. One claw was holding a gourd and the other claw grabbed the bag I had taken from there. I turned around and walked up to me, putting the gourd and net bag on the table.
Cui Yunming looked closely and saw that the bag was filled with walnuts, pine nuts and other dried fruits from winter. He came to the gourd and smelled it. A strong aroma of wine came to his nose.
"Is this Monkey Wine?" Lu Wu couldn't help swallowing. This wine was much more fragrant than his own.
