After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 85 The key to the safe!

Who has such a big mouth?

What do you mean I beat a monkey? I saved a monkey, okay?
However, if you think about it carefully, when he came down the mountain, he was covered in blood and carrying a monkey on his back, which was indeed easy to be misunderstood.

"Xiaoyang, monkeys are protected animals, you can't do anything rash, if this..."

"Uncle Guoqiang."

Chen Yang quickly interrupted him, "How could I not know that monkeys are protected animals? It is true that I brought a monkey back, but I didn't kill it."

"Oh?"

"I went up the mountain today and saw an injured monkey. I thought that the conditions on the mountain were bad and it would most likely die if I left it there, so I brought it back..."

Taking Chen Guoqiang into the bedroom, the Monkey King was lying on the bed, eating a banana with great enjoyment.

There was a bandage on its chest, which had just been bandaged.

"Chiji..."

Seeing a stranger coming in, the Monkey King immediately jumped up from the bed, looked at Chen Guoqiang warily, and bared his teeth at him.

"Oh, it's so big."

Chen Guoqiang was startled out of nowhere. "Is this the Monkey King?"

With such a big body and looking so strong, Chen Guoqiang also has some good eyesight.

"It's the Monkey King, not Monkey King Eight." Huang Can laughed beside him.

Chen Guoqiang frowned and ignored him.

Chen Yang comforted the Monkey King, retreated from the bedroom, and explained the situation to Chen Guoqiang.

He didn't mention the battle with the crested snake.

In order to avoid Chen Guoqiang asking more questions, he was too lazy to answer and just said that he happened to meet the injured Monkey King and brought it back.

"Then this is considered a brave act, which is a good thing!"

Chen Guoqiang didn't think much about it. He felt relieved when a bad thing turned into a good thing.

I’m afraid that Chen Yang doesn’t know anything and might go into the mountains and kill a monkey. If someone in the village tells others about it, it will definitely cause trouble.

"How are you going to deal with this?" Chen Guoqiang asked.

"Just keep it first, and when its injuries are healed, release it back to the mountains." Chen Yang said.

"The monkeys in this mountain are very naughty. Be careful or they might tear down your home. If that doesn't work, I'll call the animal protection officers to come over..."

"No, no need."

Chen Yang waved his hand and quickly refused.

If the animal protection officers come and send the Monkey King to the zoo, wouldn't that be harming my Monkey Brother?

Chen Guoqiang thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate.

If animal protection officers come, they will inevitably ask how the monkey was injured.

Monkeys can't talk, so there will definitely be some conspiracy theorists who will wonder if Chen Yang did it.

It is better to have less trouble than more. Let Chen Yang handle this matter himself.

"There has been too much rain this year, and there are frequent landslides in the mountains. Don't go to the mountains all the time if you don't have anything to do."

Chen Guoqiang patted Chen Yang on the shoulder and said, "My grandson will be on duty tomorrow. If you are free, come and help me..."

"Run away?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, a little confused. What does it mean to run away from a level?

"Ask your grandfather."

Chen Guoqiang grinned but didn't give him an answer.

"Hey, Brother Guoqiang, you are a village cadre, and you are taking the lead in superstition?" Huang Can teased from the side.

"It's none of your business. You're the only one who talks too much."

Chen Guoqiang laughed and scolded, "You have to come too..."

Huang Can rolled his eyes in response.

Chen Guoqiang ignored him and turned to Chen Jingzhi, "Fourth Uncle, I have something else to do in the village, so I won't stay any longer. I'll come to see you when I have time."

After apologizing, he hurriedly left with Huang Can.

"Grandpa, what does it mean to escape?"

Watching Chen Guoqiang leave, Chen Yang looked back at Chen Jingzhi blankly.

"An old village custom."

Chen Jingzhi said, turning back to the main hall, "After the child is born, he is weak and sickly. According to the superstition in the old days, such children are born to be boys, with bad luck in their fate. They are prone to encounter obstacles at the age of 359. They have to escape obstacles to exorcise the bad luck in order to survive..." At this point, Chen Jingzhi pointed to the main hall door, "Your father also escaped when he was a child. Look, the documents on the obstacles posted behind the door are still there..."

Chen Yang leaned over to take a look.

Sure enough, there was a piece of red paper pasted behind the doors on both sides. However, due to the passage of time, the red paper had turned white and was incomplete.

Some words can be vaguely seen on it, but it is not complete.

"Your father was very weak when he was young, and he was sick every other day. Your great-grandfather wrote this document to help him pass the customs..."

“Why is it posted behind the door?”

"Put it behind the main hall door. First, the ancestors will take care of it. Second, when the door opens and closes and people come and go, it will drive away evil spirits..."

"That's it."

Chen Yang felt very curious about these mysterious things.

Look carefully at the torn red paper behind the door.

"What's written on this paper? Zhang Jiuzhen, Huang Cui'e, Chen Baiwei, Chen something, why do they all seem to be names of people?"

"Well, your great grandfather found twelve guarantors for your father, and the names of those twelve guarantors are written on it..."

"Guarantor?"

"The person who saved your father's life, as the old saying goes, children will encounter difficulties at the age of 359. You need to find someone who is compatible with you, become your godparent, and take on the evil spirits. Then the child can safely pass through these difficulties..."

"A godfather? Isn't that the same as the banyan tree in the town?"

"more or less."

The old man nodded and said, "These days, not many people believe in this man. Most of them just want peace of mind and good luck."

"interesting."

Chen Yang was quite interested in these things. "Then I have to go and take a closer look tomorrow."

"It's okay to go and take a look, but you have to be careful about this kind of thing. Keep an eye on Yin Yang when he's writing the document, and make sure he doesn't write your name on it..."

"My name?" Chen Yang was stunned.

"In the early years, some unsophisticated Yin-Yang masters would often write other people's names without their consent when they were performing customs checks for others. Although this may not be of any use, it is always annoying..."

"Can this still happen?"

"Oh, you are still young and cannot understand the complexity of human heart."

As Chen Jingzhi has lived for a long time, he obviously has a deeper understanding of human nature.

"You were born in a good era, with a stable and harmonious society. In our time, resources were scarce, and there were too many fights and quarrels, and there were too many schemes against each other..."

"Some people just can't stand seeing you being nice. Even if you don't provoke them, they will still find ways to mess with you..."

Chen Yang was a little puzzled. He didn't know what the old man meant by suddenly saying this.

……

night.

A heavy rain came pouring down.

After the Monkey King ate a snake bead, except for being somewhat excited at the beginning, he gradually became listless and fell asleep in the corner of the bed.

Chen Yang didn't sleep.

He took out the safe again and took out the key he got from Blind Pang’s tomb.

He measured it against the keyhole on the safe and it seemed to be just the right size.

Poked it in.

After pushing it in halfway, it got stuck.

Because it is so old, the lock on the safe has rusted and the key is also rusty, so it would be strange if it could be pushed in.

Violence can solve everything.

He poked it harder and twisted it.

With a click, the key broke in the keyhole.

Chen Yang's face was full of black lines.

He certainly didn't expect the key to open the safe.

After all, in addition to the key, there is also a password disk next to it. Even if the key works, he doesn't have the password.
