Chapter 85 The key to the safe!
Who has such a big mouth?
What do you mean I hit a monkey? I obviously saved a monkey, right?
However, if you think about it carefully, when he came down the mountain, he was covered in blood and had a monkey on his back. It was indeed easy for people to misunderstand him.
"Xiaoyang, monkeys are protected animals. You can't mess around. If this happens..."
"Uncle Guoqiang."
Chen Yang quickly interrupted him, "Can I not know that monkeys are protected animals? It's true that I brought a monkey back, but I didn't hit it."
"Oh?"
"I went up the mountain today and encountered an injured monkey. When I thought about it, the conditions on the mountain are terrible. If I left it on the mountain, it would probably die, so I decided to It was brought back..."
I took Chen Guoqiang into the bedroom, where the monkey king was lying on the bed, eating bananas with great enjoyment.
There was a bandage on its chest, freshly bandaged.
"Chiji..."
Seeing a stranger come in, the Monkey King immediately jumped up from the bed, looked at Chen Guoqiang defensively, and bared his teeth at him.
“Ah, such a big one.”
Chen Guoqiang was suddenly startled, “Is this the monkey king?”
With such a big body and looking so strong, Chen Guoqiang also has some sharp eyesight.
“It’s the Monkey King, not the Monkey King.” Huang Can laughed beside him.
Chen Guoqiang was embarrassed and ignored him.
Chen Yang comforted the Monkey King, retreated from the bedroom, and told Chen Guoqiang the situation.
He didn’t say anything about the battle with the cockscomb snake.
In order to prevent Chen Guoqiang from asking questions again, he was too lazy to answer. He just said that he happened to meet the injured monkey king and brought him back.
"Then this is considered a brave act of justice and a good thing!"
Chen Guoqiang didn't think much about it, and he was relieved when a bad thing turned into a good thing.
I'm afraid that Chen Yang doesn't understand anything and goes into the mountains to hunt monkeys. If someone in the village is stabbed out, it will definitely cause trouble.
"How are you going to deal with it?" Chen Guoqiang asked.
"We'll keep it for now, and then let it go back to the mountains after it recovers from its injuries," Chen Yang said.
"The monkeys in the mountains are very naughty. Be careful, they will tear down your home. If it doesn't work, I'll call and ask the animal protection people to come over..."
"No, No need."
Chen Yang waved his hand and quickly refused.
If the animal protection people came and sent the monkey king to the zoo, wouldn't that be harmful to my monkey brother?
Chen Guoqiang thought about it and felt it was inappropriate.
If the animal protection team came here, they would inevitably ask how the monkey was injured.
Monkeys can’t speak, so there will definitely be some conspiracy theorists wondering whether Chen Yang did it.
It is better to have one less thing than one more thing. Just let Chen Yang handle this matter by himself.
“There has been too much rain this year, and there are often landslides in the mountains. Don’t run into the mountains all the time.”
Chen Guoqiang patted Chen Yang on the shoulder, "My little grandson will run the test tomorrow. If you are free, come and help me gain popularity..."
"Run the test?"
Chen Yang was startled for a moment, a little confused. What kind of thing is a runaway?
“Ask your grandpa.”
Chen Guoqiang grinned and did not give him an answer.
"Hey, Brother Guoqiang, you are a cadre in the village, and you are taking the lead in practicing superstition?" Huang Can teased from the side.
"It's none of your business, you're the only one who talks more."
Chen Guoqiang laughed and scolded, "You have to come too..."
Huang Can replied with a Roll your eyes.
Chen Guoqiang ignored him and turned to Chen Jingzhi, "Fourth Uncle, I still have something to do in the village, so I won't stay any longer. I'll see you again when I have time."
After pleading guilty, he took Huang Can with him and left in a hurry.
"Grandpa, what is passing the test?"
Watching Chen Guoqiang leave, Chen Yang looked back at Chen Jingzhi blankly.
"An old custom in the village."
Chen Jingzhi said, turning back to the main room, "After a child is born, he will be weak and sick. The old superstitious saying is that such a child is born It’s the life of a child. There are evil spirits in his life. He is prone to fall into trouble at the age of three, five or nine. He has to run through the gates to drive away the evil spirits in order to survive..." At this point, Chen Jingzhi pointed to the door of the hall, "Your father also ran there when he was a child. Look at that. The Guansha documents posted on the back of the door are still there..."
Chen Yang went over and took a look.
As expected, there was a piece of red paper pasted on the back of the door on both sides. However, over time, the red paper had turned white and was extremely incomplete.
Some writing on it can be faintly seen, but it is incomplete.
"Your father was very weak when he was a child and fell ill every three days. Your great-grandfather wrote this document to help him pass the test..."
"Why stick it behind the door?"
"Stick it behind the door of the hall. First, the ancestors take care of it. Secondly, when the door opens and closes, people come and go, and evil spirits are driven away..."
“That’s it.”
Chen Yang felt very curious about these fascinating things.
Look carefully at the torn red paper behind the door.
"What are the names written on this piece of paper? Zhang Jiuzhen, Huang Cui'e, Chen Baiwei, Chen, etc. Why do they all seem to be names of people?"
"Well, your great-grandfather found twelve names for your father. Guarantor, written above are the names of the twelve guarantors..."
"Guarantor?"
"The person who protects your father's life, as the old saying goes, is a child guilty of three crimes. At the age of fifty-nine, you have to find someone with the same zodiac signs to become your godson, and you can take over the evil spirits and turn them into evil spirits. The child will be able to pass these points safely..."
"How about becoming a godfather? Is the yellow kudzu tree in the town the same? ”
"Absolutely."
The old man nodded, "These days, not many people believe in this person. Most of them just want peace of mind and good luck."
"It's interesting."
Chen Yang is quite interested in these things, "Then I have to go and take a closer look tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter if you go and take a look, but this You have to be careful about this kind of thing. When you are writing the document, keep an eye on it and don’t write your name on it..."
"My name?" Chen Yang was startled.
“In the early years, some unscrupulous Yin-Yang masters would often write down other people’s names without their consent when they were being sent to prison. Although it might not be of any use, it would always make people feel uncomfortable. Should..."
"Can this be the case?"
"Oh, you are still young and cannot understand the complexity of the human heart."
For the human heart, Chen Jingzhi is alive. A handful of years, obviously more feelings.
"You were born in a good era, when society was stable and harmonious. In those years, when we were short of resources, there were not too many fights and scheming against each other..."
"Some people just can't stand you. If you don't provoke him, he will try his best to punish you..."
Chen Yang was a little confused and didn't know what the old man meant by suddenly saying such a thing.
……
——
night.
A heavy rain came.
After the Monkey King ate a snake bead, in addition to being a little energetic at first, he gradually became sluggish and lay on the corner of the bed and fell asleep.
Chen Yang didn't sleep.
He took out the safe again and took out the key he got from Pang Xiazi's tomb.
I gestured at the keyhole on the safe, and it seemed to be just the right size.
Poke it in.
Poke it halfway in and it got stuck.
Due to its age, the lock on the safe is rusty, and the key is also rusty. It would be strange if it could be inserted.
Violence can solve everything.
He poked hard again and twisted.
There was a click, and the key broke in the keyhole.
Chen Yang’s face was covered with black lines.
Of course he didn't expect the key to open the safe.
After all, in addition to the key, there is a password disk next to it. Even if the key works, he does not have the password.
