Chapter 188 Don’t be rude to the monkeys
After June entered, everyone’s busy pace of life finally slowed down.
Although farmers work all year round and have work to do every day.
But really speaking, the busiest two months of the year are undoubtedly May and October.
Because in the past two months, everyone has not only been busy harvesting, but also sowing seeds.
Although there is work to do in other times, compared with these two months, it is much easier.
After lunch, Zhang An was enjoying the shade in the yard.
Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo both went out, not knowing what they were going for.
"Brother, I picked the bayberries, do you want it?"
Zhang Tie rushed to the yard with his schoolbag and showed Zhang An the bayberries he picked.
"When did you pick it? Today is not Saturday. Could it be that you were skipping school?"
Zhang An first glanced at the calendar on the wall. It is not a weekend this year, and all the children have to go to class.
“I didn’t skip class, and our teacher even praised my improvement in my academic performance.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Tie looked arrogant and told Zhang An proudly.
In this era, being praised by the teacher is considered an honor.
When I get home from school, my parents give me a reward for boiling two eggs.
“I went to pick it after lunch. We found it a few days ago, but it was not ripe at that time. I was afraid of spoiling it after eating it, so I kept it until now.”
It turned out that it was not ripe yet. These Zipiwazi also knew to check out the spots in advance, so no wonder they came back so quickly.
Zhang An sat up and took a look at Zhang Tie's schoolbag and found that it was full of blood-red bayberries.
And the head is not small, but Zhang Tie may have been in a hurry when he came back.
Now after rubbing many bayberries, some blood-red bayberry juice leached out, soaking Zhang Tie's schoolbag.
Yangmei, also known as Longqing and Zhuhong, is very popular among adults and children in the village.
Every year when bayberries are ripe, children always like to pick them and eat them.
As for adults, most of them are used to make wine.
Zhang An grabbed a few bayberries from his schoolbag, put them in his mouth and ate them.
There are actually many small white insects in the bayberry.
Many people think that the food you buy must be washed before you can eat it.
But in fact, children in the countryside put it in their mouths without even washing or wiping it after picking it from the tree.
These little white bugs are actually the larvae of fruit flies and are not harmful to humans.
Zhang An even felt that this thing was rich in protein and was quite good to eat.
It's just that many people feel that they can't pass the test in their hearts and really can't accept it.
If you want to wash it clean, just put some salt water and soak it for a while.
Soaking in salt water not only drives out these fruit fly larvae.
It can also make bayberry taste less sour.
I haven’t eaten this food for a long time. Zhang An just put it in his mouth and his teeth were sore.
This bayberry is like this. It is very sour when you first eat it.
But after chewing it a few more times, the sweetness will begin to return to your mouth.
The tender plum meat accompanied by the bayberry juice in the sour soup stimulates the taste buds in the mouth, leaving people with endless aftertaste.
"Where are these bayberries picked? It's not far away. I'll pick some in the afternoon."
Although bayberries are delicious, you shouldn't eat too much, otherwise your teeth will not be able to bear them.
Zhang An thought about picking some and bringing them back to make a few jars of bayberry wine at home.
Last time at Zhou Yang's house, I looked at Zhou Shuanglin's jar of bayberry wine that had soaked bright red.
When you drink it, it not only has the mellow aroma of wine, but also the sweet fragrance of bayberry.
This kind of wine is perfect for entertaining guests.
Zhang Tie heard Zhang An's inquiry and told Zhang An his secret base for picking bayberry.
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang An drove these monkeys out to school.
If you don't call them, they will definitely play here until they lose track of time, and lateness will definitely be inevitable.
In the afternoon, after Wang Fang came back, Zhang An said something and went into the mountain with the basket on his back.
Qingshang should be the mountain closest to the village.
But it’s not actually a mountain, it should be considered a low hill.
The highest point is only a few dozen meters, no more than a hundred meters high anyway.
It’s just that the mountain is very long, from the beginning of Shangzhai Village in Changqing Village to the end of Xiazhai Village.
When Changqing Village was named, it was also named after this hillside.
Many old people say that Changqing Village faces a river in front and has green mountains at its back.
This hill is the pulse gate of Changqing Dazhai.
Zhang An was extremely familiar with this place. This was one of their childhood amusement parks.
Just because I came here, I got beaten when I got home.
There are many protruding rocks on the mountain, which are a feature of most local mountains.
But even so, the trees on the mountain still grow so green and lush.
It is no exaggeration to say it is a green mountain.
Here, if you look carefully, you can find many traces of bluegrass.
There were more in the past few years, but due to the hype of the orchid tide at that time, everyone climbed up to look for it and dug a lot back.
There is no formal mountain road on the mountain. We just stretch our feet wherever it is convenient to step on.
This place had already been explored by Zhang An many years ago.
So after Zhang An went up the mountain, he ran directly towards the bayberry field that Zhang Tie mentioned without looking around.
Perhaps when Zhang An and his friends came here, those bayberry trees had not grown up yet, otherwise Zhang An would not have been unimpressed.
After walking for a while, Zhang An finally arrived at the location.
In a stone pit, there are several bayberry trees growing, but they are not too big.
As Zhang An guessed, it probably didn’t last more than a few years.
Although Zhang Tie and the others picked them first, there were still many blood-red bayberries hanging on the tree.
On two trees, Zhang An could still see the broken branches.
No need to think about it, Zhang An knew that it must be Zhang Tie and his group of skinny boys who ruined it.
Zhang An skillfully climbed up the bayberry tree and started picking.
It didn’t take long for Zhang An to pick up half of the frame.
Originally Zhang An didn’t think about picking much, because he wouldn’t need that much to make wine.
But seeing that there was quite a lot growing on this tree, Zhang An would not waste it.
Zhang An, who was concentrating on picking bayberries, was suddenly hit by something.
Zhang An thought it was an acquaintance from the village who was joking with him.
I turned around without seeing anyone, and found a wild senior brother squatting on a tree, throwing stones at him.
People in the village are all familiar with monkeys because they can often be seen in the mountains.
No one pays attention to these disgusting things.
Because once you respond to it, it seems to be consumed.
So when we often encounter them, everyone just ignores them.
When it feels bored, it will leave on its own.
It’s just that Zhang An was unlucky today, and the one he encountered was a little too much.
Seeing Zhang An ignore it, it kept throwing stones at Zhang An.
When all the stones next to it are thrown, it jumps away from the tree.
Zhang An originally thought that it was bored and went elsewhere.
But unexpectedly, this guy left and came back again within a few minutes.
He also came with a pile of stones, and it seemed that he planned to fight with Zhang An.
Sure enough, after coming over, he started throwing stones at Zhang An again, this time harder than before.
Zhang An saw that it was ignorant, so he wanted to scare it away. But after several attempts to scare this guy, not only was he not afraid, but he became even more aggressive.
While throwing stones, he screamed at Zhang An with a ferocious expression.
Zhang An, who couldn't bear it anymore, no longer wanted to spoil it.
"Hey, you monkey, stop being rude."
Took the stone it threw and threw it back at it, and used more force.
A flying stone hit him directly, knocking this guy off the tree.
Perhaps because of the pain, this guy's face became even more ferocious.
After getting up, this guy climbed to a higher branch.
Maybe it thought that if it climbed higher, Zhang An wouldn't be able to hit it.
After climbing into the tree, he danced in front of Zhang An and hissed even more impatiently.
Although Zhang An couldn't understand it, his intuition told him that the monkey was scolding him.
Such a performance is the legendary incompetent rage.
Zhang An ignored it and turned around to continue picking bayberries.
But when the monkeys behind saw Zhang An like this, they thought Zhang An was afraid, and started attacking Zhang An on the tree again.
And while throwing stones, he started to curse loudly, his voice was louder than before.
Looking at its stubbornness, it doesn’t want to give up.
Zhang An was also a little angry. Since he wanted to make trouble so much, he might as well make it happen.
After blowing a whistle, the flower head, which was hovering in the sky just now, heard the master's sign.
Swooping down from the sky, everything happened in silence.
Zhang An didn’t want the monkey to run away, so when he saw the flower head coming down, he raised his hand to attract the monkey’s attention.
Sure enough, the monkey only noticed Zhang An's movements and did not notice the flower head above his head at all.
With a hissing sound, the monkey was captured by the Golden-winged Dapeng King.
Then Huatou grabbed the monkey and experienced an entertainment project of flying in the air.
Finally landed on the rock in front of Zhang An and stepped on it firmly.
The monkey who was firmly grasped by Huatou in his paw seemed to be a little dissatisfied and kept giggling.
It seems to be saying that Zhang An won the victory without using force. He had more people and beat fewer people, and even carried out sneak attacks.
Zhang An snorted, this monkey really looked like the keyboard warrior of later generations.
When you try to reason with it, it will behave like a rogue.
When you play rogue with it, it wants to reason with you.
Zhang An will not spoil it now and bring it into the space with Huatou.
The monkey suddenly moved to a strange place and became very panicked.
But when I looked back, I found that I could still see Zhang An.
Suddenly the panic on it disappeared, and it returned to its playful behavior just now.
Enter the space, that is the world dominated by Zhang An.
Immediately stop it, throwing the same stone it just threw at Zhang An.
Throwing it at it again and again, you like to hit people with rocks, right?
Let you also know what it means to treat others in their own way.
Although Zhang An controlled the force every time he struck, he would not hurt the monkey.
But if the stone hits it, it will still feel very painful.
The senior brother who originally looked ferocious and screamed loudly.
At this moment, Zhang An was so tortured that he lost his temper and could only whisper for mercy.
Zhang An saw it begging for mercy. He had no interest in playing, so he let it go.
Monkey Brother, who was dropped from the air to the ground, thought he was out of trouble.
First he ran away, and then he started cursing at Zhang An.
This guy is quite smart. He doesn’t change his face when Zhang An lets him go.
It started to happen far away from Zhang An.
Zhang An shook his head. It seems that this monkey is stubborn and will not change its nature. It needs to be cured of this bad habit.
But Zhang An didn’t have a tight spell on his hand, so he couldn’t put it on.
Then let it taste the power of Wuzhishan.
Zhang An thought together, and Zhang An, who was far away, was grabbed by a big invisible hand.
Then it was like being pressed firmly to the ground by an invisible mountain.
The captured monkey screamed ghostly at first.
When I struggled from side to side, I found that I really couldn't move at all.
Now it looked at Zhang An, its eyes full of fear.
It regretted that it should not provoke the two-legged beast in front of it.
After suppressing it, Zhang An did not hit it.
Instead, I picked a peach and ate it in front of it.
When I ate it, I gave it to it to smell, but I didn’t touch it, just to make it greedy.
Hey, just for fun.
This time, the monkey did not last long before he began to beg for mercy.
In this space, Zhang An has plenty of time to play with it.
I am not afraid of the cunning of this monkey. After all, no matter how smart he is, he is just a hairy beast.
Seeing it surrender and beg for mercy again, Zhang An smiled and let it go again.
But this time, the monkey's temperament changed drastically and he did not flee from Zhang An as far as he did just now.
Instead, he ran to Zhang An's feet and squatted down.
It makes people look docile and well-behaved, completely different from the ferocious-looking monkey just now.
When Zhang An takes a step in the space, it will follow Zhang An.
Zhang An looked at it like this and was speechless.
Could it be that he tamed this violent monkey?
Zhang An is still thinking about letting it continue to rebel and play with it more, as it happens to be boring recently.
Unexpectedly, the senior brother, who seemed unruly just now, became so docile.
Then Zhang An remembered the characteristics of space. No matter what kind of animal it is, it will be quietly domesticated by the space after entering.
And this big brother has persisted for a relatively long time.
After I just came in, I could still talk to Zhang Anxu.
After seeing it being so obedient, Zhang An thought about it and let it go.
Elder brother followed Zhang An to the peach tree and saw the peach tree full of peaches.
It immediately became extremely excited, waving its limbs and dancing.
I really wanted to run over and pick it, but I seemed to think of something and didn't dare to leave Zhang An.
He just chirped a few times at Zhang An.
Zhang An didn’t know why, but when he heard the sound, he understood what the monkey meant.
Just like the monkey barked at him just now, Zhang An could feel the monkey scolding him.
Knowing that the monkey wanted to pick peaches, Zhang An waved his hand and let him go alone.
Seeing Zhang An's permission, the senior brother slipped under the tree and climbed up the tree in a hurry.
Then it picked a peach and carried it back, and offered it to Zhang An.
Zhang An became a little surprised when he saw this.
Is this senior brother so sensible now? After picking the peach, he didn't eat it first, but handed it to himself.
Seeing how sincere it was, Zhang An didn’t answer it, and waved his hand towards it, letting it hold it and chew it.
This monkey is also quite spiritual. It seems to understand every move of Zhang An.
Zhang An just waved his hand, and he held the peach and began to chew on it.
