Journey to the West will accompany you to become a Buddha

In the southern part of the state, in front of the northwest coast, because it is close to the coastline, most of the fishermen live here and make a living by fishing.

"Qingqing, don't run around, be careful not to fall into the sea!"

"Mom, I know!"

An eight-year-old girl was picking up shells by the sea, with bare feet, braided braids, linen clothes, and trousers rolled up, running around scattered. The beach was full of her footprints, deep and shallow.

On a June day, my lover's face changed as soon as he said it. The sea breeze blew the broken hair on her forehead, the blue sea was choppy, dark clouds gradually covered the earth, the strong wind was blowing, and the fishing boats were returning. The little girl squinted. Look closely, there seems to be a black spot moving in the blossoming waves, what is it?

"Qingqing, come back quickly, it's windy and it's going to rain!"

"Hey, mother, come back!"

The little girl ran back against the strong wind, and a bolt of lightning struck her. She trembled in fright, and quickened her pace. The thunder roared in the sky, and the eardrums hurt from the shock. It was chaotic, but she caught a faint cry, which was not human.

Facing the strong wind, she turned her head abruptly, and saw a bamboo raft being hit ashore by the waves. After the tide receded for a while, she saw a monkey, a monkey that was soaked!

She was possessed and ran back against the wind without even thinking about turning around

"Qingqing!"

There was a heart-piercing cry from behind, but she turned a deaf ear to it.

If you work harder, you will reach it. The distance of more than ten meters seems like a world away, but it seems that God is also helping her. Another surfer, the monkey was sent directly to her feet and passed out.

The little girl grabbed the monkey's two arms, and her thin body concealed great strength. She carried the monkey, which was about the same height as her, on her back, facing the strong wind, lightning, and thunder.

The majestic heavy rain slanted down, hitting her body like beans one by one, causing pain, just when she thought she couldn't hold on any longer, a tall figure enveloped her

"Daddy, save it"

The man couldn't help saying, he picked up a man and a monkey, and went home.

"Stop dancing, okay?"

The little monkey tilted its head, squatted on all fours beside the wooden bed, tilted its head, seemed to be thinking, and then uttered a human language

"Stop dancing, okay?"

"Haha, cough cough!"

The little girl was amused by it's behavior, and her pale face turned red.

Because of the rain that day, she caught wind and cold, lay on the bed, and couldn't get sick. Now three days have passed, her face is frighteningly pale.

The woman weaving a net outside the house hurried in when she heard the sound of coughing

"Qingqing, aren't you feeling well?"

The rough hands that have worked all year round wiped and wiped the pale clothes after washing, and carefully probed the temperature of the girl's forehead, which was frighteningly high

"Why doesn't the fever go away?"

The woman tucked in the quilt and comforted her, "Your father and elder brother have gone fishing, and when they are sold in the town, I can hire a doctor for you, ah"

The girl shook her head, "No need, it will pass after a while"

"What are you talking about? If you don't take medicine, how can you get better?"

The girl pursed her lips and said nothing, the woman thought she was sleepy again

"you rest"

Then said to the monkey, "Go out and play"

"Mom, let it accompany me"

The woman disapproved, but said nothing, and went out by herself.

After the woman left, the girl seemed to be talking to herself, or to the monkey

"My brother will definitely take the money to get me medicine. Sister Qinghe has been waiting for him for so many years, and the dowry has been paid. Alas, it's my fault. I shouldn't be sick."

Her voice was very soft, like a thread, as if there was nothing there.

The little monkey squatted quietly beside the bed, staring at the girl all the time, she turned her head and said with a smile, "How nice you are, you don't have to think about anything."

The little monkey suddenly stretched out its monkey paw, and the girl paused for a moment without moving. The monkey's slender fingers, like those of a human being, gently touched her forehead. There was a blue lotus flower with a petal in full bloom. , have seen.

girl touches it with finger

"I was born with this birthmark"

"birthmark"

This is the second time the monkey has spoken in front of her

"Are you a parrot? Do you still talk like a human?"

"Pray for immortality! Beg for immortality!"

It screamed in its mouth, and the girl leaned over to cover its mouth in shock

"Shh! Don't talk?"

A talking monkey will be beaten to death as a monster.

Because she was too anxious, she fell on top of the monkey, rolled off the bed, knocked her knees on the ground, and let out a muffled groan.

The little monkey was pressed down, blinked its big eyes, and then moved its body. The girl endured the pain and forced herself to stand up from the ground. Her center of gravity was unstable. She just got up, wobbling and about to fall, the monkey Supporting her very humanely, he suddenly picked her up and put her on the bed like a cub. The girl was so shocked that she couldn't speak, is this really a monkey?Not a monster?

Even a monster is a good monster, she convinced herself and lay on the bed with peace of mind

"Don't talk anymore, okay?"

She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, a scream broke the silence

"Ahhh!"

The little monkey trembled, the moonlight came in through the window, the blood on the edge of the bed was manjusawa blooming on the side of Huangquan Road, death was never so close.

"No, don't be afraid"

The girl was so angry, but always smiling, the faint oil lamp was lit in the dark, and the woman could see the girl on the bed who could barely hear her breathing, and couldn't hold back any longer.

"Qingqing!"

"mother"

Her voice is so soft, so soft, as if it came from a distant sky

"Don't cry, don't cry"

The girl was buried at the foot of an unnamed hillside behind the fishing village, and there was only one unnamed stele. Children who died young were not allowed to engrave words on the tombstone, and they were not even allowed to have a funeral. They were just buried hastily.

It's just that the monkey went somewhere on the night of the girl's death. People in the village scolded it for being heartless, but no one knew it. Guozi, a monkey, stayed there for three days before leaving.
