Monkey and Feather

"No. 17, you can only shoot when you are full, three meters in front of you!"

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow covered the sky and the sun from above our heads, but there was an arrow stuck in the black shadow, a black arrow!God Killing Arrow!

Xiaobai was so frightened that he quickly hid aside, but I didn't move.Accompanied by a loud bang, the black shadow fell down, raising a large cloud of dust.

After the dust was gone, suddenly there was a huge vulture in front of him, and he was the No.17 demon.It's just that he was dead without breathing, and he was dead before he fell, and his throat was sealed with an arrow!Just three meters in front of me! !

I was too shocked to speak!

"God descends to earth! God descends to earth!" Xiaobai yelled like he was going crazy, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and ran towards the woods in a hurry.

After a while, he flew down from the sky panting and exclaimed at me.

"That's right!! 16 of them, plus this one, exactly 17! All of them are arrows that have penetrated their throats!! The gods descended! The gods descended!" Xiao Bai clasped his hands together, his face full of worship.

The little boy was even more proud now, as if his head was going up to the sky.

At this time, the little girl ran over suddenly, and said in a childlike voice, "Thank you brother and sister, I will return the kettle to you~", she smiled slightly, showing two cute little canine teeth.

I was pulled back from the shock, but Xiaobai took the initiative when I was about to speak.

"Oh! What a beautiful little sister! She will definitely be a big beauty when she grows up in the future!" Xiao Bai took the water bottle and gently pinched the little girl's face.

My motherhood has already overflowed, and I stretched out my little hand to touch the little girl's pink face, but I was pulled back by the little boy.

The little boy put one hand on his hip, accusing the little girl like a little adult: "I didn't tell you, don't get too close to strangers, follow me~" He said, scratching himself lightly Sister's shofar braid.

"Oh~ As the saying goes, the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring, not to mention we gave you such delicious cakes and water! You have to beware of us, it hurts our hearts too much!" Xiaobai also said like a child The same, even stamped his feet, pretending to be coquettish.That's what he does best.

It made the little girl laugh out loud, but the little boy still had a tense face, but I knew that he really wanted to laugh too.

"Oh, it's great to have such a big brother!" I sighed secretly in my heart.

"By the way, I don't know your names yet? Let's introduce ourselves first, my name is..." I almost slipped my tongue, but luckily my brain reacted quickly, and said: "My name is Xixi, that big fool One is Xiaobai~"

The little boy blinked his big eyes and replied: "My name is Jin'er, and she is my younger sister, named Yin'er."

"Oh." I smiled and nodded, and asked curiously: "Jin'er, who did you learn your strong archery skills from? You are so young~"

"What's the matter, little boy!" The little boy pouted, with an expression of disbelief,

("Ashamed...it seems that he will also be a macho guy in the future.")

The little boy proudly patted his chest, and said: "Don't look at me as a child! I am born with supernatural powers, especially this archery, which is inherited from my ancestors!"

"Your ancestor?"

"It's the famous Hou Yi! He can even shoot down the sun!" The little boy's face became even more smug as he said that, as if he could shoot down the sun too.

I couldn't help being taken aback, and said casually: "I thought it was just a story, but it turned out to be true!"

"Of course! If you don't believe me, look!" the little boy said as he opened his clothes on his chest.I saw a mass of bright red flesh suddenly bulging on his chest.

No.To be precise, it is a totem.A round shape, like a totem of the sun.

"This is the symbol of our family! All my clan members have it!"

The little boy was talking, pulled his sister, and walked towards us slowly.Apparently, the subject made him let his guard down on us.

"Since your family is so powerful, why were you arrested by a group of goblins?" Xiao Bai asked this kind of question at a critical moment, which really made people want to give him a hammer.But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case. How could you be caught so easily?

The little boy blushed and muttered in a low voice: "There is a drought this year, and our clansmen can't eat enough to eat. How can we have the strength to fight? For the clansman, the patriarch sold the sun-shooting bow left by his ancestors!"

I suddenly realized, "No wonder he can shoot that vulture after eating that cake, so he has the strength to pull it away~ Oh, poor boy~"

I went to rummage through my backpack again, hehe~ It seems that I really can't help, there is no food, no money, and I left the monster monkey in a hurry, so I didn't bring a lot of details.

I looked back at Xiaobai, and he also spread his hands helplessly.Yes, if he had money, he wouldn't eat such a big pie.

I was thinking desperately, but I didn't have a good solution, and I still have to find the monster monkey. I don't know what's going on with him now.

"Monster monkey!? Right!?" I suddenly thought of the monster monkey again, and hurriedly asked, "Jin'er Yin'er, have you seen the monster king Qi Tian?"

Jin'er frowned, pondered for a while and said: "On the road, I seem to have heard these goblins muttering, saying that the goblin king, Sun Wukong, failed to beat him, and was so frightened that he pissed his ass.

It turned into a cloud and fled.Um ~ it is like this ~" he said and nodded again, affirming.

"Those idiots know how to know! He won't be frightened by anyone!" I opened my mouth to speak out with a ignorant fire in my heart, and immediately attracted several people to look at me with doubts.

It was only then that I realized that I had said something wrong, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "After all, he is the Monkey King! He made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace~"

The three of them put away their expressions and continued to chat.I secretly rejoiced in my heart.Because at least now, it is certain that the monster monkey's life is not in danger.

Feeling at ease, I continued to ask: "Jin'er, what is the Demon King Conference you mentioned earlier? Why have I never heard of it!"

Before Jin'er could speak, Xiaobai grabbed the words: "I've heard a little about this Demon King Conference, because it's all behind the scenes. So no one said it blatantly. It's only happened in the past two years." This movement.

What do you say that the previous demon king Sun Wukong was in name only, not through a competition, nor was he selected by everyone, but he came out earlier, so this time we must carefully select a real king in the demon world.That is what they call the Demon King Conference. "

I sneered and sneered as I heard it.

Xiaobai also snorted coldly: "I think it's just a group of low-level guys who want to take advantage of Sun Wukong's time to be inseparable from the confrontation of Heavenly Court.

Just come out to enjoy the heat.To be honest, no one can do it, if you don't accept it, go to Nantianmen to fight and get out of the body first. "

I couldn't help but patted Xiaobai's shoulder, and raised my thumb high.I suddenly felt that this young man is really good.

In the end, we decided to send the two brothers and sisters home together, and by the way, searched for some secrets from the killed monsters, hoping to help their village temporarily relieve their suffering.

It was only when we got to the place that we realized that their village encountered much more difficulties than we imagined.

Due to the drought and the plague, everyone in the village was skinny, and some old and weak people either starved or died of illness. Almost every family had a blank paper for the funeral.

Seeing this desolate scene, I felt that something was weighing heavily on my heart, and I was so stuffy that I couldn't breathe.

Not long after, we arrived at Jin'er's home.Only then did I realize that Jin'er's family had long since passed away, and the two siblings were brought up by their patriarch.

The patriarch is a dark-skinned, skinny old man with gray temples and a cane.

And the people in this village, as Jin Er said, are all descendants of the hero Hou Yi who shot the sun. They call themselves: the Sun Shooting Clan.

Jin'er narrated the ins and outs of the matter with the patriarch and the clansmen, and everyone thanked Xiaobai and me again and again.Then, surrounded by a group of people, they were invited to the most luxurious "banquet hall" in their village.

In fact, it is just a relatively large earthen house.

Following the patriarch and several elders, they sat down one by one, and someone immediately made tea.

This simple and simple way of life makes me feel extremely warm in my heart.But seeing their emaciated figures, I felt even more sad in my heart.

So I opened my mouth and asked the patriarch: "Old man, listen to you, everyone in your village is very capable, this land is lost, don't you have other ways to make a living?"

Hearing this, the patriarch's face became gloomy, and he sighed: "People here have been farmers for generations, and they make a living by farming. The food grown every season, except for keeping some food at home, is basically handed over to the imperial court. .

Then the imperial court will distribute some household subsidies to us.Because it is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is dangerous, there are poor mountains and bad waters, and there are many monsters.So they only come twice a year, again because we grow better food than other places. "

"Ah!?" Xiaobai and I were all surprised, looked at each other, and a fire slowly surged in our hearts.

Another old man took over the conversation and said: "This is a treasure land passed down from our ancestors. The food grown can make people energetic all day long, and it was used by the imperial court to supply their army.

And although our clansmen are all possessing unique skills, once they leave this mountain, they become nothing like ordinary people, maybe they are not as good as ordinary people~" After finishing speaking, everyone around shook their hands. Nodding his head, he sighed again and again.

"There is such a strange thing? Could it be that Jin'er was brought to them, so she no longer has the ability to shoot arrows?" Xiao Bai said suddenly, with a surprised expression on his face.

The patriarch looked at Jin'er with kindness in his eyes, and then said slowly: "That's right, this was originally a secret here. But at some point, it has become known to everyone."

Xiaobai's face became more solemn, and he said, "So, you are locked in this mountain prison?!"

After hearing this, everyone's faces showed sadness again, I quickly winked at Xiaobai, and scolded: "What are you talking about, Xiaobai? Why is this a prison!?"

Jin'er on the side spoke up, "Brother Bai is right! This is a prison, and we are prisoners in a cage.

No~ Maybe it's more pitiful, prisoners can still be free when they go out, but we can only die when we go out here. "When he said this, his face was full of melancholy that he shouldn't have at his age, and he lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.

I can't help but feel sad, this reminds me of the monster monkey, he is struggling desperately to leave this false world, isn't it the same?

"Can he really leave?" This was the first time I had doubts.Doubt his way, doubt me, and my world.
