Journey to the West: I have nothing to do to chase monkeys

The moonlight streamed in through the large unpapered glass windows, and the refracted light made the brass handles on the cabinets glisten.

This is an old antique, although the age has not increased the price of this ancient cabinet.But for the owner of the house, he obviously doesn't mind whether it has the potential to make a fortune.

The cabinet is made of iron pear wood, oh, maybe it is worth something, but the workmanship is not meticulous, and there are obvious traces of post-processing. For example, the two glass windows and the stainless steel hinges that maintain them must have been installed later. of.This makes the price of the cabinet even more discounted.

It may be deduced from these traces that when it was first made into shape, it should not be used as a cabinet.But, who cares?Now it has been wiped clean, and there are some old dishes and copper cups, which have oxidized to a green color.

On the cabinet wall in the lower left corner of the cabinet, there is an irregular silver-rimmed octagonal mirror inlaid, like an inconspicuous decoration.It is even a bit puzzling, why a mirror the size of a baby's fist should be embedded in this position that is hardly noticed.Beside the mirror, lay a roll of old newspapers quietly, a few pages had been torn from the back, and the narrow remaining pages were curled with fringe.

A black figure had been standing in front of the cabinet for a long time, with his arms stretched out flat, just above the roll of old newspapers.Through the window, there are already thousands of lights outside, but the room is quiet and dark, and there is not even a trace of human life.The figure in front of the cabinet has maintained the current posture for quite a while.

Then, a cluster of flames suddenly appeared from the fingertips, not bright red warm flames, but white with a little green light, flames without warmth.The arm was gently sent forward for a short distance, the cluster of flames jumped, and almost licked the roll of old newspapers.

The landline phone in the room rang suddenly, the man trembled his fingertips as if startled, and the flames were extinguished uncontrollably.

The ringing of the phone continued, and after four or five rings, it turned into a long beep, followed by a cheerful female voice, "Hello, no one is at home now, but if you have any questions, you can leave a message after the beep Oh, let me explain in advance, if you want to take advantage of this, it's not very good, our house may have an alarm system and external monitoring facilities..."

At this time a male voice came in, "Honey, this is the voice mail system, don't say those strange things." "Hey, I'm kindly reminding..." "Ah, the time limit is almost here!" "Ah, it's all you Excuse me... I'll leave a message soon, then, bye."

Then there was a 'beep', followed by the click of an electronic device.

The same female voice sounded again, but it was obviously not speaking to the phone, "Every time I hear this passage I recorded, I feel that I am so caring..."

The same male voice interjected again, as helpless as in the recording, "Honey, are you serious?"

"While going... hey~~~ baby, aren't you home? Now... let me see, oh, it's already 10 o'clock, my dear, it's not good to fool around outside at night."

"Wife...just because a 19-year-old girl hangs out at night doesn't mean she's fooling around."

"Ha, okay, so it doesn't matter if a beautiful young woman in her prime doesn't come home before 11pm?!"

"...Baby, listen to Mommy."

"Little baby, you're still outside so late. Mom is a little worried, but we won't have a signal later. I hope you'll be back by then. How's your summer vacation going? Do you miss us without mom and dad for a month? Mom I really miss you, did you go out with your friends during the summer vacation, did you have a boyfriend? Ah, you wouldn’t be out with boys at this point! No, husband, tell the captain to leave later, I have to make sure my little one is home by 11 o'clock, not out with a strange man, God, what if she doesn't come home tonight?!! You know, baby No matter how sweet a man talks to you, don't spend the night with him outside, let alone go to his house or a hotel!"

"Honey...do you really want to make it so loud that others can hear it...it's only been a month, my baby won't have a boyfriend, let alone any possibility you imagined."

"Did you hear that, baby, mommy is the one who loves you the most, your daddy just contributed half of the genetic sequence and then let it go."

"... Wife..."

"Oh! My detector has responded, baby, mom will call you later."

The tape recorder clicked again, ending the call.

The figure in front of the cabinet was fixed as if cast by a spell during this recording process, only the slightly trembling fingertips under the moonlight revealed the turbulent and complicated emotions in his heart.

The white flames on the fingertips were faintly visible, and after struggling for a long time, there was a sob in the darkness. The figure in front of the cabinet slowly curled up on the ground, hugging his legs and crying softly.

"Originally, I wanted to take you to see Tianhe. Didn't you always want to see the stars? In fact, I also wanted to know how they taste after roasting?" Jin Jiao smiled half-smile, with a look of nostalgia.

"Maybe before I leave, I can still take a look." Yaoyao thought, back to her own era, those stars have become planets tens of thousands of billions of light-years away, and she still feels a little bit about this. Pity.

"If you want to go back now, it may be too late."

Yaoyao squinted her eyes upwards, and said with a three-point seriousness in her smile, "Actually, I used to be quite afraid of you because you are so smart."

Jin Jiao laughed at himself, "It seems that being smart is not a good thing."

"Smartness is of course a good thing," Yaoyao hurriedly explained, "It's because I can't keep up with your rhythm, I don't know what you're thinking, think that if such a smart person wants to lie to me, he must lie to one of them Sure, I'd better stay away from this kind of person."

"So, when you tell me this now, does it mean that your opinion of me has changed?"

"Look, I told you that you are too smart. You guessed what I just changed my mind about." Yaoyao spread her hands in a bored gesture.

Jin Jiao was amused, "It seems that I'm really not smart enough, otherwise I should play dumb, maybe you will like me more."

"I like you very much now, because I understand that no matter how unpredictable you are, you will not lie to me, good or bad, then I will be very happy." Yaoyao said to Jin Jiao Trust is also being built step by step. After all, she cannot demand that all her friends are not smart, so she herself will be too harsh and stupid.

"Then do I still have a chance?"

"what chance?"

Jin Jiao paused and said quickly, "It's nothing."

Yaoyao didn't care either, "By the way, don't tell my master what we're going to say today, okay?"

"You're not saying that hiding from others is not a good thing."

"It's different this time, he's my master!" Yaoyao said excitedly, then muttered in a low voice, "Anyway, I can't let Master have anything to do."

"So even if you die in the end, are you willing?" Jin Jiao asked intentionally.

"Yes." Yaoyao nodded without hesitation.Some, don't hesitate, there is always someone worth your money.

Jin Jiao suddenly had nothing to say, maybe he knew why he liked the girl in front of him, but it seemed that it was too late.

To Yaoyao's surprise, when she and Monkey King returned to the mortal world, those onlookers miraculously left.It turned out that when she was talking to Jin Jiao, the Jade Emperor had announced to the world that anyone who was willing to leave this world would be recorded by Yan Luo of the Ten Palaces, and the time limit was until Tang Seng and others arrived at Lingshan.

"That is to say, the method that the Great Sage and the others thought of is considered feasible?" Yaoyao chewed out the above meaning from the sentence relayed by Xiong Bao, "The Jade Emperor still keeps his word."

"Why, do you think Jade Emperor's words don't count?" After drinking a spoonful of soup Yaoyao handed over, Ao Lie half leaned on the bedside, enjoying this rare treatment comfortably.

"Anyway, in all kinds of fairy tales, he is always the villain." Yaoyao shrugged indifferently.

"It seems that soon, you will be able to go home."

"Look at your sad look. Is it because I'm afraid that I won't want you when I get home, or because I'm afraid I'll dislike you for being only three inches tall." Yaoyao gestured with her hand at the height of her waist.

... This is really an unspeakable heartache. Ao Lie turned his face away, "The dragon grows up very fast. Maybe you came a few years late, and you won't see the old me anymore."

"Then what are you struggling with?"

"I don't want to be in Xihai."

"You are not allowed to take out the soul orb again, oh, you don't have the ability anyway, maybe you can go to Fangcun Mountain to be with the Great Sage, Fangcun Mountain is not very far from the West Sea." After Yaoyao finished speaking, she threatened with a spoon Said, "Anyway, don't hurt yourself, you are mine now, you know?"

"I feel like our roles are reversed. Shouldn't I be the one who said that?"

"Whoever said that, my mother often said that to my father."

Well, it looks like it's her family tradition. "You're back home...can you still come to Xihai? I don't mean Xihai at your time."

His slightly fragile expression is very attractive, Yaoyao leaned close to his forehead and kissed lightly, "The Great Sage must have a way, don't worry, little princess, I will marry you."

Ao Lie raised his hand and touched his forehead, "I don't think this is right."

Yaoyao squinted her eyes, "What's wrong?" If you dare to dislike him, you will die!

Ao Lie didn't speak, but suddenly threw Yaoyao down on the bed, pressing his forehead against his forehead, "That's right."

With such an aggressive action, Yaoyao didn't feel invaded, instead she said with a leisurely smile, "Well, anyway, you only have the last moment of complacency left, when you go back and become a three-headed body, you will be able to do so if you want to." It's impossible, hey~~~~"

"You asked for it yourself." If you dare to laugh at him, let her know how powerful it is.

Just when Ao Lie was about to cover her 'hateful' mouth with his lips, there were a few deliberate coughs from the door, and Xiong Bao poked his head in, "Uh, originally I wanted to wait until you finished speaking before coming in, but, I've been standing there for a while."
