portable space

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Fan Ming slapping the door. Zhang Taiping joked: "What? Do you still want to hit me?"

"Who wants to hit you? I was about to knock on the door. Please open the door just in time." Fan Ming rolled her eyes cutely and said.

Zhang Taiping smiled and asked, "Are you ready to knock on the door for something?"

Only then did Fan Ming remember that she had something else to do. She stuck out her tongue and said, "The village chief came here just now. He said that he wanted you to come over as well to pay for the excavator for road construction and the wages of the villagers."

It seemed that the horse couldn't be walked in the morning, so Zhang Taiping took the three horses out and took off their restraints, letting them go to the mountains to forage for food and play together.

When we arrived at the meeting place, the place was already full of people. Behind us, we saw Wu Gang and another young man driving the excavator. Zhang Taiping stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

When I turned around at noon, I saw Zhang Taiping, who quickly took out a cigarette and handed one over. Zhang Taiping was not polite, and the three of them just puffed away at the back of the crowd. Anyway, they didn’t have to do this, as the cashier and accountant were busy.

Coming here by myself is just a formality.

After receiving the money at noon, the two of them said hello to Zhang Taiping and left. Zhang Taiping also left with him. He was too lazy to wait here with the little road construction money paid by the village.

Go back to the house and go to the backyard to use a net to collect the grown watermelons on the shelf and tie them to the shelf. Otherwise, when the melons are big enough, the thin melon stems will not be able to bear the weight of more than 10 pounds. Then naturally, it will

If it is hung in the air, it will only end up with a broken melon and falling to the ground.

Ye Ling and the others came back from herding sheep, followed by the antelope. Seeing Zhang Taiping busy under the shelf, they jumped over and gently nudged his leg with their heads to express their intimacy. Four lambs also gathered around and imitated the antelope's behavior.

It looked like it was pushing against his leg.

It didn't take long for the old village chief to come over. He went directly to the backyard and said, "Why did you run away early? Here, here is the wages for road construction."

Zhang Taiping took it and put it on the stone table and said, "If you don't have the patience, why wait?" He handed over a melon and said, "Since you're here, sit down and have a rest and eat a melon."

"The meeting is over, there's nothing left to do." The village chief did as he was told, picking up the melon and eating it without washing it.

"How does it taste?" Zhang Taiping asked while putting the watermelon on.

"It's sweet and crispy. It's the best melon I've eaten in recent years." The old village chief also praised it.

Zhang Taiping chuckled.

After finishing a melon, the old village chief looked around the yard. When he saw the watermelon hanging above his head and contained in a net, he asked in surprise: "Can watermelons be grown like this?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "It can only be planted in this way on a small scale. It is a bit impossible to promote it on a large scale."

The old village chief nodded, then pointed to other things in the yard and said: "You have a lot of things here, and the planning is also good. Even a big guy like me can feel the beauty and comfort. If there are those in the city

Scholars will definitely like this place when they come here.”

"Clean up the backyard. It will be more comfortable for us to live by ourselves, right?" Zhang Taiping said.

The village chief sat for a while and then stood up and left. Zhang Taiping called out: "Wait a minute!" Then he untied a net and picked a large watermelon, weighing not more than twenty pounds but also seventeen or eighteen pounds. He put it in the old village chief's arms and said, "

Uncle, take it back and give it to the baby to eat."

The village chief still wanted to shirk, but Zhang Taiping said again: "With the relationship between our two families, it would be meaningless for me to lie again."

"Haha, then I won't lie anymore." After hearing Zhang Taiping's words, the old village chief smiled heartily and accepted the watermelon.

Just after lunch, the little monkey that had disappeared all morning appeared again, with a sad face and red and swollen eyes. It had obviously been crying recently.

Zhang Taiping flipped his hand and took out a peach from the space and handed it over. This time, the little monkey did not pick up the peach. Instead, he shook his head and turned to point in the direction of the back mountain. He was still squeaking and calling Zhang Taiping in his mouth, and his eyes were filled with laughter.

He looked like he was about to burst into tears. It seemed that something must have happened in the back mountain that made him sad.

Then the little monkey walked outside, and when he reached the door, he waved to Zhang Taiping and motioned for him to follow.

Zhang Taiping's heart moved, so he took the lion and followed him. When he got outside, he whistled to call Xiaojin and Xiaofeng to explore the way ahead.

After running a certain distance, the little monkey looked back. He wanted to stop and wait for Zhang Taiping, but he was surprised to find that Zhang Taiping was following closely behind him, so he deliberately speeded up. No matter how fast it was, Zhang Taiping couldn't stop it.

Can follow everything like a shadow.

After passing through two hills, the road to the west becomes increasingly dangerous. It would be a question for ordinary people whether they would dare to walk on it, but Zhang Taiping can follow the little monkey and walk on it like flying.

After running for nearly two hours, the little monkey finally stopped, and Zhang Taiping also saw clearly the situation in front of him. This was a mountain stream, and a group of monkeys were tumbling and jumping below. It was obvious that the little monkey had brought him to the place where it lived.

.

The lion stayed on top, and Zhang Taiping followed the little monkey down to the bottom of the mountain stream. As soon as Zhang Taiping appeared in the sight of the monkeys, he caused a commotion, followed by wild fruits, fruit cores, pebbles and other things thrown at him.

These monkeys were very hostile to him.

Zhang Taiping was still avoiding, but the little monkey was extremely angry. It roared at the group of monkeys. It seemed that it was usually dignified in the group of monkeys and could calm the crowd. The number of things thrown at it gradually decreased.

Even in the end it was gone.

The little monkey roared and communicated with the group of monkeys a few more times. After a few shouts came from the group, all the monkeys retreated to an empty passage on both sides.

The little monkey passed through and waved to Zhang Taiping, telling him to follow quickly. Zhang Taiping smiled and followed, but he didn't expect that monkeys also have classes. This shows that class exists in all intelligent animals.

After passing through the woods where the monkeys were playing, there was a stone wall as vertical as a knife. There was a hole at the bottom of the stone wall. The entrance of the hole was very high for the little monkey, but Zhang Taiping could only bend down and follow.

The little monkey entered the hole behind him. Fortunately, the hole got bigger and bigger as he went inside, until a large stone chamber appeared at the end of the hole.

Zhang Taiping has seen the situation inside the cave. It doesn't look like it was man-made. It can only be formed naturally. In this way, the ingenuity of nature is so amazing.

There were some other monkeys in the cave, and they all looked wary when they saw Zhang Taiping coming in.

The little monkey ignored this and walked directly to the corner. There was a big monkey lying there, and there was a big peach on the stone next to it. It was the big peach that Zhang Taiping gave to the little monkey. The little monkey was lying on it,

The sadness began to spread again. After crying for a while, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Taiping hopefully, shouting in his mouth and gesticulating with his hands.

Zhang Taiping looked at the big monkey lying on the ground and shook his head helplessly. This monkey may have some relationship with the little monkey. It's not that Zhang Taiping didn't want to rescue him, but that the monkey had been dead for a long time and was still alive.

It is obvious that he will die of old age. Even if a miracle doctor is alive, he cannot save him.

When the little monkey saw Zhang Taiping shaking his head, he couldn't help but lay down on the ground in sadness and burst into tears.

Zhang Taiping suddenly thought of this sentence: "Animals are like people, and people are like animals." There is a family relationship between them, like a fox begging for help, like the little monkey in front of him. But some people are not even as good as an animal.

, but doesn’t it win the phrase “people are like animals”?

If he were alone, Zhang Taiping could step forward and offer some words of comfort, but the monkey, who had been sad all the time, didn't know how to comfort him and could only wait for it to stop being sad.

After a long while, the little monkey stopped crying sadly. Finally, he wiped his tears and signaled to Zhang Taiping to wait here for a while. He walked towards the outside of the cave. Not long after, he called in a few people who looked like

Strong monkey.

A few days later, they came to the dead monkey, called for a while, and then worked together with the little monkey to lift the dead big monkey and walk out of the cave. At this time, the little monkey did not forget to wave to Zhang Taiping to follow him.

.

They carried the big monkey to a pile of rocks under a cliff. After placing it on the ground, they all jumped away. Only the little monkey was left to cover the big monkey with stones, and the big monkey was also there.

Taozi. There are a lot of piles of rocks like this in this area. It seems like this is their burial place.

Unknowingly, a large group of monkeys gathered here, each with sad expressions on their faces, as if they could understand the meaning of death.

It wasn't until the sky got dark that the little monkey finished covering the big monkey with stones and calmed down. The little monkey smiled and the monkeys around him were shouting and seemed to be talking about something, but Zhang Taiping didn't know what they were talking about. But look.

The monkeys all showed expressions of reluctance on their faces, which must be related to parting.

Sure enough, after talking to the monkey* for a while, the little monkey came over and jumped on Zhang Taiping's shoulder, pointing in the direction outside the mountain. Zhang Taiping understood that the little monkey was going to leave with him. No wonder so many monkeys were showing their faces.

The feeling of equanimity.

It was getting late, so Zhang Taiping did not delay and strode back along the original road. When he reached the top of the mountain stream, he called out the lion and headed back home.

Along the way, the little monkey squatted on Zhang Taiping's shoulder, making no sound or making any movement. It was obvious that he was still a little sad and in a bad mood.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Zhang Taiping returned home. Fan Ming was a little surprised to see that the usually lively and active little monkey was unusually quiet today.

"What's wrong with the little monkey?"

Zhang Taiping told his family what he had seen in the mountains. Immediately, the little monkey received sympathetic looks from six women in the family.
