[Journey to the West] Show mercy

"Is this your idea?" Monkey King stared at Qi Chen.

Qi Chen was borrowing a mattress from that mother-in-law, and tied it around her stomach. "At that time, we will say that we are passers-by, and unfortunately we drank the water, so I beg this Taoist priest to do a good job. You can become my servant girl! If he refuses to give water, then cast a blindfold on the stone. By the way, I still have the hairpin that was taken from the Heavenly Court on my head, so it should be enough!"

Sun Wukong couldn't think of a better way, so he drove Qi Chen to the mountain with somersaulting clouds.Before long, the hole was in sight.Landing a few tens of feet away from the cave, Monkey King transformed into a young and beautiful maid.

Qi Shen thought to himself that Sun Wukong still has a little discernment in people's appearance.After walking a few steps, she saw the entrance of the cave; an old Taoist priest was meditating at the entrance of the cave, she quickly pretended to have abdominal pain, and held the maid's hand.

Well, she admits she did it on purpose.

The old Taoist looked up when he heard the voice, Qi Chen hurriedly asked: "Is this a hole?"

The Taoist responded and asked them what they wanted to do.Qi Chen rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still kept smiling: "Oh, I'm a traveler who passed by Xiliang Women's Country. I accidentally drank the river water and became pregnant. I want to ask for a bowl of spring water."

The old Taoist asked them to go in and find the real fairy Ruyi.That Ruyi Immortal was playing the piano, saw two figures coming in from outside, got up and asked: "Are you here to ask for spring water?"

"Exactly," Qi Chen said with tears streaming from his eyes, "Shangxian, please have pity on me, I walked here with my husband, and I accidentally drank the river water, but my husband thought I was having an affair with some monster, They drove me out without saying a word. I asked around and found out that there is a waterfall of fetuses here, and I asked the god to give me a bowl of water so that I can go back to find my husband." After saying that, tears rolled down my face.

"Have you prepared a gift for the tribute?"

Qi Chen raised her head: "Shangxian, I'm a married woman, and I've traveled a long distance to get here, so I don't have much trouble on my body..."

Immortal Ruyi's expression immediately became vicious: "You come to ask for spring water if you don't have money? Let's go!"

"Shangxian, this is all I have to worry about..." She said like a wink to Monkey King, and he immediately took out a gold ingot.His blindness made him superb, but the immortal didn't see it.

He snatched the ingot with his hands: "Not enough! Do you want to ask for spring water at such a small amount?" Qi Chen cried again, saying that this is really all his belongings.Seeing that the Taoist priest was still unrelenting, he took off the hairpin from his head again: "Shangxian, this is left to me by my mother. It is said that it was used by the fairy Chang'e in the sky. May I ask for a bowl of water?"

That True Immortal Ruyi took the hairpin and inspected it carefully, Qi Chen felt distressed when she saw it.This hairpin is really a good hairpin, the jewels on it are top-notch, otherwise how could it be a treasure in the Heavenly Palace?Although the words of Fairy Chang'e are bluffing, this hairpin is really valuable.True Immortal Ruyi also recognized that this hairpin is indeed not a mortal thing, and said: "This thing is indeed a treasure of heaven, if so, I will reward you with some water."

Monkey King took out the water bag to fetch the water, and True Immortal Ruyi also warned: "Don't drink it on the road." Qi Chen nodded, presumably because drinking this water would cause miscarriage.She and Sun Wukong went out of the cave and walked a certain distance. After making sure that the Ruyi Immortal couldn't see them, she asked with some concern: "Great Sage, the water bag you took just now is very small, is it enough for the two of them to drink?"

Sun Wukong returned to his original body and smiled, "You think I'm an idiot? This water bag looks small on the outside, but it can hold enough water for a hundred people."

Qi Shen said in a low voice: "Forget it, let's count it as an accumulation of virtue, abolishing a hairpin, so as to save the elder and Bajie from suffering."

"Huh? Do you feel sorry for that hairpin?" Monkey King asked.

"That's natural. This hairpin has been with me for so many years, and it's from heaven. It's so cheap. Of course I feel sorry for this real fairy."

Monkey King thought for a while, then handed the water bag to Qi Chen.As soon as Qi Chen caught it, he almost fell to the ground - Monkey King seemed to have splashed a lot of water.She luckily stabilized her figure: "What's wrong?"

"You go back and give the master and idiot some water first, I'll come as soon as I go!"

"What—" Before Qi Chen finished speaking, Monkey King had already run away without a trace.Qi Chen sighed, picked up the spell, and walked back on the cloud.This monkey doesn't know what kind of idea came into his head... Wait a minute, he doesn't want to help her get the hairpin back, does he?

She wanted to turn back to see clearly, but she was afraid that Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie would be waiting in a hurry, so she had to continue walking back.Back to the village, pushed the door and went in.

"Elder, Bajie, the water is coming!"

Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie were leaning on the door frame and whimpering, and they immediately beamed with joy when they saw the water coming.Qi Chen poured some for them to drink, and weighed the portion, there was at least a jug of water in it!

Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie each drank half a glass of water, and within a meal, the two of them had stomach pains again, grunting, and wanted to go to the toilet.After the two of them ran several times, the lump in their stomach disappeared and the pain disappeared.The mother-in-law made some white porridge for them to drink, Tang Seng drank it and asked, "Why hasn't Wukong come back yet?"

Qi Chen shook his head and said: "I don't know. At that time, after scooping up the water, the Great Sage asked me to come back first, and ran back by myself."

While talking, the door opened with a bang, and Monkey King was standing there, looking inside: "Is the fetal gas gone?"

"It's solved!" Zhu Bajie said while eating porridge while purring, "Brother Monkey, why are you back now?"

"I saw that Taoist was greedy for money, so I went to teach him a lesson. Before, the coward was afraid that I would conflict with that Taoist, and said that he could exchange his precious hairpin for this water to drink. After she changed the water, she felt sorry for the hairpin again. I After hearing this, I went back and told the Taoist priest that he was exploiting the people here, so I came to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, he just wanted my grandson to avenge the red boy, so he fought with me, and finally knelt down and begged for mercy, and gave me this hairpin Plead." He spread out a palm as he spoke, and in his hand was the hairpin that Qi Chen had just sent out.

"Great Sage, you're fighting someone over a hairpin again!" Qi Chen said angrily, "Didn't I say before——"

Thinking of the crowds here, she stopped talking again.Sun Wukong put the hairpin on for her: "You don't thank my old grandson, what do you mean by talking about me here?" Before Qi Chen could reply, he looked back at Zhu Bajie again: "Idiot, since I entered the door, you have eaten everything." After eating more than ten bowls of porridge, even if the fetal gas is relieved, the stomach will be bigger than the fetal gas!" A group of people laughed again, and Qi Chen also forgot to ask Sun Wukong to say something.

After finishing the porridge, the mother-in-law said that they could stay overnight, but she asked to give her the remaining water so that she could buy some and make money for the coffin.Sun Wukong said that it was useless for them to keep the water, so he asked his mother-in-law to bring out a bigger jar.

The mother-in-law moved out the jar, but she still smiled and said, "How much water do you have?"

"This jar can almost be filled." After speaking, Monkey King poured out the water bag, and the jar was filled with water after a while.They helped the mother-in-law bury the jar in the ground, and the mother-in-law led them to rest.

There are only two vacant rooms in the mother-in-law's house. Tang Seng meant that Qi Chen slept in one room by himself, and Zhu Bajie, Drifting Monk, and Monkey King slept with him.But the rooms in the village are small, and Zhu Bajie takes up most of the space when he lies on the ground. The Drifting Monk can barely lie on the ground, and the Tang Monk sleeps on the bed—where does Monkey King sleep?

Monkey King said that it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep, but there is not even a place in this room for him.Qi Chen sighed: "Otherwise, I've changed into a man, so you can stay in the same room with me."

Just take it as God's will... Who made Sun Wukong have no place to stay? ?
