Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 271

Although Jingshi had met many Yan people before, after all, most of them were from afar, and he had never made friends with them.Now when I come across the Golden Retriever Guer Bowl, I feel that not only does it look like a monkey, but it also has a rather restless temper, jumping up and down along the way, or asking about the inland scenery of Jingshi, or humming and singing, non-stop.Jingshi heard his high-pitched voice, like that of a child in Luzhong, and asked him how old he was, but Gu'erwan only talked about other things and never answered.

After walking towards the west for a while, the surrounding woodland gradually showed traces of human habitation.There are wild grass trails in the ground, and there are cut marks and dry piles in the trees, which obviously have frequent residents.Jing Shi noticed this and asked Gu'er Wan, "How many people are there on this island?"

Gu'erwan walked in front, beating the grass with a stick, and replied: "There are eight hundred children, countless."

Hearing his perfunctory answer, Jing Shi couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked again: "Who is in charge of the island?"

Gu'erwan looked back at him, suddenly giggled a few times, simply walked backwards, looked at Jing Shi and said: "Your words are funny, isn't it you who is in charge of the island?"

Although he walked backwards and talked, he was able to avoid the numerous tree obstacles, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, obviously he was very familiar with this place.Seeing this situation, Jing Shi still said calmly: "Who was it before I came?"

Gu'erwan scratched his ears and nose, made faces several times, and refused to answer directly.Since Jing Shi couldn't answer the questions, he walked with his head buried.Seeing that he was a boring gourd, Na Gu'erwan was rather bored, so he jumped to his side and said, "Sir, do you know how many wild boars there are on this island?"

Jing Shi hummed and said, "How much?"

Gu'er Wanle said: "You guess."

Jing Shi shook his head and said, "I can't guess."

Gu'erwan asked again: "How many fresh springs are there on this island?"

Jing Shi still shook his head.Gu'er Wan tilted his head and said: "You don't know this, you don't know that, how can you manage?"

He speaks frankly, it doesn't seem like he intends to mock, but because Yan Min is born with a thin face, his speech and behavior are like flowers on a stage.Jing Shi looked at him for a moment and said, "I know magic."

Gu'erwan immediately opened his mouth wide, looked him up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Are you a priest too?"

Jing Shi smiled at him and said, "Guess." After speaking, he walked away.How could the Gu'er bowl be willing to give up? He immediately rushed forward and asked again and again. He was so anxious that he swung his stick and swept it wildly, overwhelming a large area of ​​the surrounding flowers and plants.During the quarrel, a lucky man walked out of the forest and shouted at the two of them: "Gu'erwan, what the hell are you doing?"

Jing Sheng followed the prestige and saw that the visitor was wearing a cloth scarf and his head was covered with grass. He was half a head shorter than the Gu'er bowl, but his expression was serious, like that of an elder.Gu'erwan saw someone coming, and shrank his head, stood behind Jing Shi and said, "What the hell are you doing? I'm going to pick up the new official. I've behaved well and never made trouble."

The visitor snorted, walked up to Jingshi, bowed and saluted, and said, "Your Excellency is new here, I must have been born on the road, half a mile ahead is where the official inn is, and the old man also lives there. Your Excellency can go and rest by yourself." , Don't believe this bastard's words."

Gu'erwan was originally hiding behind Jing Shi, but when he heard the words, he poked his head out, and was about to defend himself, but was glared at by the fluke man, but he didn't dare to say any more.Jing Shi saw his fear, so he didn't point it out immediately, he just asked, "Who is this?"

Na Yanyue said: "My name is Shuihua, and I am in charge of the medicine affairs on the island. If your lord wants to find me, go eastward for three hundred steps to the official inn and find a house hanging on a tree."

Jing Shi looked at it for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Understood, thank you."

The Yanjiu saluted again, turned around and went into the forest.Jing Shi followed his shadow and saw that he walked steadily, he didn't jump up and down like the Yanjiu people next to him, if it wasn't for his unusual body shape, his words and deeds were just like ordinary people on land.

He was watching, but the skull bowl was impatient, he tapped his calf lightly with a stick and said: "Sir, it's getting late, let's go."

Jing Shi lowered his head and said to him, "Are you afraid of splashes?"

Gu'erwan was stunned for a while, and Ai Ai said, "Of course I'm not afraid."

Seeing his reaction, Jing Shi really wanted to cover up, so he just laughed.Gu'erwan knew what he meant, and said angrily, "What's so funny?" As he said that, he stretched his stick across, as if wanting to hit someone.

He jumped up and down earlier, he already showed some flexibility to reach out his arms, Jing Shi knew that although the people of this country are small, they are by no means weak.Immediately took a few steps back and stopped arguing with him.Gu'erwan didn't dare to really hurt him, so he put away the stick and hummed: "I just see that old woman is getting old and is going to be buried in the ground, so I don't bother to care about her."

Jing Shi didn't mention the matter of talent just now, but after hearing his words, he couldn't help turning his head and said: "Shui Hua is a woman?"

Gu'erwan rolled his eyes and said: "You are talking nonsense, don't you have eyes? The old woman is naturally a woman."

Jing Shi responded silently, and looked at his appearance carefully, only felt that his face was red, his mouth was thin and his cheeks were thin.Except that the golden hair is rare, it is no different from the water splash just now, because the people are covered with hair, and the voice is naturally high-pitched, like a child.Thinking about the half of the strange city that I passed through before, there were indeed only differences in clothing, regardless of the appearance of men and women.

Gu'erwan was very impatient, and without waiting for him to think too much, he poked him with the end of a stick and said, "How long have you been in a daze? Go away. Go away."

Jing Shi was urged by him again and again before he set off.Walking like this for half a mile, as the water flower said, I found a village.There are wooden sheds and thatched houses in the middle, surrounded by small borders of flower paths outside, with few people and no sound.The two walked out of the forest one after the other, when they met two Yanjiu people sitting in the field, both wrapped in sackcloth, chewing green branches, when they saw Gu'er Wan approaching, they all jumped up and shouted.

When Guerwan saw the two of them, he held his head high and poked Jingshi with the end of his stick, saying, "Big Peach Blossom, Little Peach Blossom, this is a new official."

The two Yanji people laughed when they heard the words, looked up and down Jingshi with their four eyes, and then said in unison: "I have seen the new official!"

Jing Shi also said, "Hi, you all."

After hearing this, the two laughed, whispered to each other, and ran towards the field.Jing Shi didn't know what these two people meant, so he cast his eyes on the bone bowl.Gu'erwan raised his head and said, "What do you see me doing?"

Jing Shi said: "Why are these two...girls laughing?"

Gu'erwan was stunned for a while, scratching his belly and said happily: "Girl? They are clearly a man, but the new official is blind?"

Jing Shi didn't get angry with him, he just said: "Just now I heard you called them peach blossoms, it was a misunderstanding."

Gu'er Wan grinned and said happily: "The two brothers were born under Peach Blossom, so naturally they are both called Peach Blossom. What does it have to do with a man and a woman? If you are a girl, Xinguan, you were born on a rock, aren't you?"

Jing Shi responded, "I was not born on a rock."Although there are many houses in that village, all of them have low doors, and ordinary people have to bow down to enter, except for the solitary house in the front with wooden walls and grass tiles, the door is as high as the top of a person, which is quite out of place with the surroundings.

Seeing the layout like this, he naturally walked towards the solitary house, Gu'er Wan followed behind him and said: "That is the official inn, new officials can live here in the future. It has all the furniture, but it is old."

While speaking, Jing Shi had come to the front of the house, saw that the door was ajar, stretched out his hand to wipe lightly on the top edge, and touched a thick layer of dust.Pushing the door open and entering the room is better than looking outside.There is only one household in the house, with a couch table on the east side and a pot and stove on the west side, but it is also complete with all internal organs.The floor is covered with leather rugs, and the walls are hung with rattan nets. There is little dust on them, and there are still [-] to [-]% new colors.

Gu Wan'er followed into the house and said: "A few days ago, because I knew that the new official was coming, the old lady Shuihua ordered someone to clean up the official storehouse. How does the new official feel?"

Jing Shi is not a person who loves extravagance, he is more used to wandering and living in the wild, although he didn't think that the official inn was so simple, he didn't feel embarrassed, nodded and said: "I'll trouble her." He put the bag on the bottom of the bed and pushed it away again. The doors and windows are breathable.

Seeing that he was contented, Gu'erwan refused to go away, so he jumped up, squatted on the table, tilted his head and watched Jing Shi come and go.If it was half a cup of tea time, seeing that Jing Shi still ignored him, he said just now: "Xinguaner, you are here for the first time today, why don't you go see the old lady Shuihua?"

Jing Shi was unfolding the quilt and shaking it, and went to check the condition of Xishou Stove. Hearing his words, he asked casually, "Who was in charge of this place before?"

Gu'er Wan said: "You said before, how long ago?"

Jing Shi listened to what he said, so he said by the way: "Who was it yesterday?"

Gu'er Wan said: "Yesterday the new officials are coming, the old officials have left, no one is in charge. The old lady of Shuihua takes care of the medicine, the old man of Huozhou takes care of the newcomers, Wuma takes care of the dead, and the others take care of themselves."

These words added to Jing Shi's doubts.But he knew that this place was weird, so he was not in a hurry, and asked sequentially: "The former official was in charge? What does he usually do?"

Gu'erwan nodded first, then shook his head, jumped off the table and said, "I was just born when the old official came, so I don't have much memory. I don't know what he usually does. I only know that the old lady Shuihua was taught by him. His whole body is so weird that it makes me feel hairy."

Jing Shi said: "How old are you this year?"

When he asked about this on the way, Gu'erwan repeatedly avoided answering, now when he asked again, he still listened to Gu'erwan and said: "Why are you asking this, anyway, I'm already an indomitable adult man, I can't remember the specifics."

Jing Shi glanced at him, and slowly said: "When I came here, I heard that the inland only sends people here every hundred years. The last time people left, you were born not long ago, and now you are nearly a hundred years old."

Gu'erwan asked about the situation on Jingshi Island before, but he didn't know everything, so he didn't set up his defenses in his heart. Who would have thought that Gongzi Yu had mentioned a hundred years beforehand, but he revealed his age.Since he was pierced by the thorn stone, his face became even redder, he put the stick across his shoulder and said: "What's wrong with my slow birth?"

Jing Shi said: "What is the life expectancy of the people here?"

Gu'erwan raised his head and said, "Where does the life expectancy come from? There are long and short."

Jing Shi said: "Just talk about it."

Gu'erwan still didn't seem to understand what he meant, so he puffed up his cheeks and said, "The old lady Shuihua has lived to one hundred and fifty, which is not halfway through. That Wuma is only seventy this year, and she is about to die. No matter how short two or thirty years, there will be There has been, how can it be possible?"

Jing Shi heard that he was entangled, so he didn't ask any more questions, and changed his subject: "You mentioned three people just now. Apart from Shui Hua, where do the other two live?"

Gu'erwan scratched his head, pulled him to the side of the bed in front of the couch, pointed the stick outside and said, "You can see the house covered with white grass on the far side? That's where the boat lives. Wuma lives in the mountains, and usually If you don't come out, you don't have to see him."

Jing Shi said: "Okay, I'll go see Mr. Huo Zhou first."

Immediately he got up and went out of the house, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a dozen or so lucky people gathered outside the house, all gathered around a few feet away to probe their brains.When Jingshi appeared, he stared at him with wide eyes, whispered to each other, and chattered endlessly.Seeing this, Guerwan jumped a few steps to the front of Jingshi, tapped the ground with a vertical stick, and said loudly: "How much do you see? This man is a new official, you can recognize him clearly. Peach blossoms, big and small, don't hide , the two of you on the left and right will call others over!"

He raised his stick and pointed at the two former Yanmin.The two brothers looked at each other, then turned their eyes to Gu'erwan and stuck out their tongues, making faces. Seeing that Gu'erwan was about to hit with a stick, they turned and ran away.The rest of the people laughed non-stop when they saw it, fled in all directions, and got into the house each.Gu'erwan let out a yell in anger, put away his stick and said, "A bunch of scumbags, they run fast when something happens. The new official, let's go, I'm going to see the old man of the wrecked boat."

This isolated village on the island was originally not very big, there are roughly fifty or sixty households, all of which are small and small.The abandoned boat lived in a wooden house in the northeast, with straw carpets all over the roof.There is no door in front of the house, only a thick straw curtain is hung to cover the situation inside the house.

Jing Shi walked to the front of the house and saw that there was no door to knock on, so he stood outside the curtain, and before he could make a sound, the Gu'er bowl was the first to enter through the curtain, and when he entered, he shouted: "Old man of the waste boat! The new official has arrived, Don't come out to meet guests!"

As soon as the words were finished, someone in the room responded in a low voice: "My lord, please come in."

Jingshi was invited to lift the curtain and enter. Once he entered the room, he felt dim in front of him, only a little bean fire in the depths, and beside the fire stood a white-robed Yanmin, bowed and stooped, as if he was very old.Because his back was facing the door at this time, he couldn't see his appearance, so he said again: "Your Excellency has come from a long way, please take a seat. This old man is a troublemaker here."

Although this person's posture is no different from that of the other Yan Xun people, his voice has an old air.While talking to Jing Shi, he walked with his stick, and lit the surrounding white candles one by one. After a while, dozens of orchid fires were lit up.But when you see the leather carpet on the floor, the straw curtains on the wall, the paintings of mountains, forests and animals, the sun, the moon and the sea, the colors are extremely bright and beautiful, and then reflected by the candlelight, it is as vivid as if you are in the scene.

Jing Shi had been instructed by the boat, so he sat down on the small stool in the room and looked around at the painting on the wall.But Gu'erwan jumped to the top of the table, then lay down on the table scratching his face and hair.After the white candles in the house were all burned out, the ruined boat came up to him and greeted Jingshi.

Jing Shi took advantage of the fire to take a closer look at his face, and saw that his face was wrinkled and his body was white.Under the jaw is a long beard, which has fallen to the ground and is tied with black jade beads, which looks like the high priest who jumped into the sea and died.The rare one is a pair of blue eyes, which are clear and clear, without the slightest aging and ignorance.

The wrecked boat also looked at Jing Shi, tapped on the table with its stick, and drove the bone bowl off, then slowly sat down on the small stool opposite the low table, and said to Jing Shi: "Your Excellency is new, I must be aware of it. Unfamiliar. I have lived here for a long time, if I have any questions, I can answer one or two."

Although he speaks in a deep and slow voice, his voice is polite and polite, like people from the mainland, which is quite different from Yan people like Gu'erwan.Jing Shi was also inconvenient to make jokes, and said with a solemn face, "Thank you, old Mr. Fei Zhou. I just heard that the old man claimed to be an official. I don't know what kind of business he is in charge of?"

When Huo Zhou heard this, the wrinkles around his lips swelled, as if he meant a smile, he lightly paused the wooden stick in his hand and said: "The reason of stupidity is something unique to our country, no wonder you don't know it. You know our country What are the Chinese people named after?"

Jing Shi replied: "I heard Gu'er Wan mention it earlier, it was named after the place of birth."

Huo Zhou nodded and said: "That's right, does your lord think this matter is strange?"

Jing Shi had doubts before, but because his colleague Gu'er Wan had a strange temper and was not very reliable, he never asked.Now when I heard Huo Zhou mentioning this matter, I became clearer in my heart, thought for a moment, and said: "When I entered the city earlier, I saw that the people in your country were similar in shape, and there were no elders and children with them, mother and child, is it related to this matter?"

Huo Zhou showed a slight smile on his face, and nodded again: "Your Excellency is very observant. In our country, there is no mother and child living together, husband and wife raising children, because our Yanke people are different from Lu Zhong. Although they have the nature of yin and yang, they have no inheritance. Yes. The new generation of children is not born from the mother's womb, but born from the sea foam."

Jing Shi was slightly taken aback, and said, "Haimo?"

The waste boat said: "Yes. My lord is a person in the land, so I don't know the sea foam. It's the full moon in the day after tomorrow, and I'm a scumbag. I should go to the coast to find foam. At that time, my lord will go with me. See it with my own eyes, and I will know the truth." .”

After hearing what he said, Jing Shi didn't ask any more questions, and instead mentioned the situation on the island.As the master of the waste boat, it is not comparable to the Gu'er bowl. Whenever Jingshi asks about it, he will answer clearly.After talking for less than half an hour, Jing Shi already knew the general situation.

It turns out that Yanjiu Kingdom was originally a collection of dozens of scattered islands. The islanders all have the appearance of monkeys, but their intelligence is just like ordinary people.There is only one city in the country built on land, which is called "Half Dark City".Those who live in the city are the nobles of the country, in order to deal with land exchanges, and the people who live on the island account for about eight or nine of the country.The islands live alone, isolated from outsiders, even though they can look at each other across the sea and hear each other's songs, but they don't communicate with each other until they die.

Jingshi's current residence is called "Hamusuoluo" by Yankee people, which means "little giant clam garden". There are about 500 people living on the island. Except for the village where the abandoned boat lives, there are three gathering places along the circumference. There are another five or sixty people living in the wild in the mountains and forests, and rarely communicate with the village.Although the islanders also cultivate fields and plant fruits, they mostly feed on fishing and hunting, and they rarely encounter shortages.It's just that the fish in the sea are occasionally infected with the evil energy of the outer sea, and have a fierce temperament. Every few years, a disaster will inevitably occur, and they must gather people to go to sea to suppress it.There are ferocious beasts in the depths of the island mountain, and they can't come out easily. On rainy nights, they roar like thunder, and the sound shakes the outside of the island, and everyone who hears it is terrified.

It's all sorts of strange things to say, but since Jing Shi has seen the strange state of Yan Ji, no matter how many strange things happen afterwards, it's not enough to move him, so he only asked Huo Zhou about the beast in the mountain.But I heard that the beast seldom came out of the mountain, and it was active at night, and it never hurt anyone's life.Although Huo Zhou has a hundred years of experience, he can only hear the sound of this mountain beast, but not see its appearance.When asked who has seen it with his own eyes, only one person has ever seen it, and that is Wuma, the death official on the island.He has lived alone in the mountains for many years, and he does not easily communicate with strangers. Because of his ministry, other people also shy away from him and dare not offend him.

The two of them had a long talk, focusing on each other, forgetting about external things.Only Guerwan had nothing to do, and he couldn't bear to listen to the gossip of the two of them, so he wandered around the house, catching the white candles that were dying out, squatting in front of the fire, waiting for them to be extinguished, and replacing them with new ones. , and then picked up the residual wax, and threw them one by one into the small tin lamp in front of the door.After repeating this, when Jing Shi and Huo Zhou had a rest, most of the white candles in the room were replaced by him, and when Jing Shi got up and wanted to leave, he was overjoyed and ran to the door curtain to wait in two or three steps.

Huo Zhou got up to see him off, seeing his behavior like this, he said, "Gu'er Wan, for the next year, you will follow your lord's orders, and you can no longer act on your own."

Gu'erwan shook his stick and said, "I'll save it, don't let your old bastard nagging. Xinguaner, where are you going next?"

Jing Shi ignored him, first said goodbye to Huo Zhou, opened the door curtain and walked out of the house, looked up at the sky, saw that the sun had risen, it was almost noon.

Gu'erwan followed him out the door, then poked his heel again and said, "Xinguaner, it's already noon, do you want to eat first, or go to see the old woman with water first?"

Jing Shi pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and asked him, "Where does Wuma live?"
