This wine had a strong after-effect. At first, the white tiger didn't think much of it. After drinking more than half a bottle, it started to shake its head and couldn't tell north from south. Bai Jingjing saw this and said,"Second Brother, I'm not going to let you go."”
At this moment, White Tiger saw that everything was a pair, but his mind was still clear. When he heard Bai Jingjing call him, he said with his tongue wide open,"Younger Sister is sending wine and meat to Second Brother. Second Brother is happy. Second Brother knows that Younger Sister likes Second Brother. If Second Brother drinks too much, Younger Sister won't laugh at him.”
"Second Brother, I heard from Father that you caught a monkey demon. Is that true?" Bai Jingjing asked.”
The white tiger raised its head and took another gulp of wine."To tell you the truth, this bastard is locked up in the woodshed. I'm specially watching over him. It's also because Second Uncle trusts me that he gave me such an important task. Don't worry, I'm the only one keeping watch.”
"Second Brother, what does a monkey demon look like?" Bai Jingjing asked.”
The white tiger didn't know that this girl had ulterior motives and thought that it was just a child's curiosity. Just now, it was flattered by her fake imperial edict, so it naturally enjoyed it. Since Second Uncle valued him so much, he naturally couldn't lose face in front of the girl. No matter what, he was the one who carried this monkey demon back. Bai Tianshou naturally wouldn't tell him what was on his mind. In his heart, he had already determined that the Monkey King was a monster, but a monster was actually at his mercy. As he thought about it, he felt like a heavenly soldier. When Bai Jingjing asked him, he said,"He's just a beast. He's very ugly.”
Bai Jingjing took the opportunity to say,"Let me see."”
"What's there to see about a beast?" White Tiger said.”
" I've only seen monkeys," Bai Jingjing said." I've never seen a monkey demon before."”
The white tiger said," That beast is very ugly. Children can't look at it. What if they get frightened?"”
Bai Jingjing's face tensed up and she said,""Child, child, I'm already thirteen years old. Am I still a child? Just because you're a few years older than me, I can't grow up?”Seeing that the white tiger was stunned by him, he burst into laughter and turned to plead," Second Brother, I'm just curious. I've never seen what the monkey demon looks like. I'll just take a look?”Then, he grabbed the white tiger's hand and shook it.
White Tiger couldn't stand her coaxing and pestering the most. Besides, it wasn't a big deal for her to take a few glances. Monkey was still unconscious. With him by the girl's side, nothing would happen. He smiled and said," I was wondering why you were so kind today. It turns out that you have something to ask Second Brother. But let's make it clear first. You can only take a look. If Second Uncle finds out that you're here to cause trouble, I'll also be scolded by you."”
Bai Jingjing was delighted." Thank you, Second Brother. Open the door quickly. I'll leave after taking a look."”
The white tiger subconsciously touched his waist. Although he was already a little drunk, he knew that this door was not to be seen. He said,"You can't open this door. If this beast acts up, it will scare the girl. If you want to see, take a look through the crack in the door.”In his eyes, Bai Jingjing was the Bai family's treasure, the lifeblood of his second uncle. Naturally, nothing could happen to her.
Bai Jingjing was very smart. She knew that the key must be hidden there with just a subconscious movement of the white tiger. However, she deliberately pouted and said reluctantly,"Alright then."
The white tiger was afraid that she would be in trouble, so it did not leave her side for even a moment. At this time, the sun was still a room high. There was also a small window in the woodshed, so there was plenty of light inside. Bai Jingjing peeked through the crack of the door and saw a furry thing lying on a pile of hay. It was tied up with a rope that seemed to be soaked in blood. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked."Is he the one who exposed the fake Taoist priest and saved the entire village?”She felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Even a beast could have a sense of righteousness, but her father…When she thought about how her father had ruthlessly cooked and eaten this monkey that had saved the entire village for her own selfish motives, she felt a wave of sadness in her heart.
At this moment, the monkey king on the haystack moved. The white tiger was shocked and quickly pulled Bai Jingjing to the side. "He moved!" Bai Jingjing cried out.”The white tiger was on full alert. When he thought of the demon in the house, although his second uncle said that he would not be able to cause any trouble with the cinnabar rope binding him, he still felt terrified.
The Monkey King fell for Zhang Rong's trick. When he woke up, he found that the rope had been tied to his body. Because he had fainted first and Bai Tianshou had appeared, he did not know what had happened later. He thought that he had fallen into the hands of Zhang Rong and the others. He had offended them, so he must have been doomed. He had a splitting headache, but he did not give up the last hope of survival. He wanted to break the rope, but after trying a few times, he could not break free with his strength. He rolled to the door and used the wall to prop himself up. He wanted to see the situation outside through the crack in the door.
However, he saw two people standing outside the door through the crack in the door. He could not help but be stunned. These two people, one big and one small, were clearly villagers of Longevity Village. What was going on? Did he not fall into the hands of Zhang Rong and the others? Suspicious, he asked through the door,""May I ask if this is Longevity Village? Have you caught those fake Taoist priests?”
The white tiger saw the monkey king asking him a question through the door. This was the first time he had spoken to a demon. If he hadn't used the wine to boost his courage, he would have felt a little scared."Of course, this is Longevity Village. Those fake Taoist priests were seen through by my second uncle.”
The Monkey King heaved a sigh of relief. Since Zhang Rong and the others had been captured, he had saved the people of Longevity Village, so he would not be in danger. Thinking of this, he said,"I helped you, so why are you still tying me up?”
The white tiger laughed coldly." You're a demon. If I don't tie you up, I'll let you harm others."”
The monkey king thought that the villagers had misunderstood him when they saw his appearance, so he said,"If I wanted to harm you, why would I help you? This is all a misunderstanding.”
White Tiger said," Your flowery words can't fool me. You're a monkey demon. If you're not a demon, what are you?"”
The Monkey King said," Let me go. I still have to hurry on my way. I'm not a demon. I'm here at Mount Innerheart to learn from a master."”
White Tiger said," You're indeed a demon. You want to use words to deceive me. Let me tell you, tomorrow, the Taoist priest of Mount Innerheart will come and take care of you. You just have to wait for a night."”
The Monkey King knew that Longevity Village was not far from Mount Innerheart. He also heard that the Taoist priests of Mount Innerheart would come to take him in tomorrow. It seemed that they had determined that he was a monster. He did not expect that he would not bear to see them being extorted and would instead suffer such a terrible retribution. "I helped you out of kindness, but you repaid my kindness with ingratitude.”
The white tiger was certain that he was a monster and was also sleepy from the alcohol. It really did not want to listen to his nagging. It glared and said angrily,"Your death is near, so just obediently wait for it. If you continue to nag, I'll cut off your tongue.”As he said this, he picked up a stick and stabbed it through the crack in the door. The monkey king didn't expect him to hit it so easily. It couldn't dodge in time, and the rod head hit its ribs. It couldn't bear the pain, and it retreated a few steps before falling to the ground.
The Monkey King felt as if his entire body had been thrown off balance. He glared at the White Tiger and said,""If I knew this would happen, I would have asked a few fake Taoist priests to cheat you of all your money…"
Just as the white tiger was about to flare up, Bai Jingjing pulled it back and said,""Second Brother, why are you so angry with a monkey? He won't live past tomorrow anyway. Let him be.”
Although the white tiger was a rough person, the girl's words were indeed reasonable. It was not worth it to be angry with a demon who was going to die tomorrow. It was better to drink a few more bowls of wine and eat a few pieces of meat."Sister is right. If it wasn't for sister's face, I would have skinned him alive and let him have it easy.”
Seeing that her second brother had been persuaded, Bai Jingjing said to the Monkey King,""You monkey, you really don't know your place. It was the entire village's idea to have the Daoists of Mount Innerheart take you in, and it's not something my second brother can decide. Not taking your life in person is already letting you off easy. Besides, if you're kind in heart and mind, the Daoists of Mount Innerheart might not take you in. If you don't do anything wrong, why are you afraid of ghosts knocking on your door?”
The Monkey King saw Bai Jingjing winking at him through the crack in the door. He was not stupid and knew what this little girl was hinting at."Right, they said that the Taoist priest of Mount Innerheart will come back tomorrow to subdue him, and Manjushri said that his master is at Mount Innerheart. Could there be any relationship between the two? This little girl seemed to be implying something?”In an instant, he seemed to understand something. However, it was really hateful for the people of Longevity Village to treat him like this. He said angrily,"Young Lady is right, a straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow. I want to see how you will take me in tomorrow.”He thought that he had figured out the secret behind this, and he was sure that this little girl was trying to persuade him out of goodwill because she didn't want him to suffer. He couldn't help but feel grateful to Bai Jingjing. A bachelor doesn't eat the loss in front of him, so why fight for a moment? After thinking for a long time, he lay back on the dry grass and didn't speak anymore.
