Chapter 006: The Persimmon Tree
Gu Siwei immediately felt that something was amiss, but upon seeing that the space did not draw him in, he realized that this would not endanger his life, and thus he felt relieved again
Seeing that the persimmons had grown back, Gu Siwei wanted to go up and pick one to taste.
For the monkey, the persimmons on this tree are equivalent to a person discovering a gold mine, ensuring a lifetime free from worries about food and drink
The Monkey King struck with great force, and the surrounding monkeys responded enthusiastically, which made the old Monkey King even more exhilarated. If there were music to accompany him, the old Monkey King would likely perform a rap for you
The first is a Mao nest
Find something that can hold water
... ...
Kaka!
The monkeys surrounding are watching the excitement, acting as onlookers, occasionally waving flags or fanning the flames.
Chirp!
As the strikes were being delivered, at the moment when the blows landed, the Monkey King noticed that the monkey group had become subdued, each one curling up and pretending to be a coward.
Upon arriving under the tree and taking a glance, Gu Siwei thought it would be better to find a monkey to pick the fruit for him. However, upon reflection, he dismissed this idea, considering that the monkey's hands might have touched something undesirable.
At this moment, if one were to side with the old monkey king, how would the other monkeys perceive it? Would they all, like the old monkey king, disregard their own status and rebel against the monkeys they have promoted? Would there still be a need to lead the group?
Gu Siwei has awakened
Gu Siwei has come out, and the monkey group has also noticed. Almost in an instant, all the onlooking monkeys fell silent, each one retracting their limbs and tucking in their heads, as if it were not them who had just been cheering and celebrating.
At this moment, the persimmon tree has grown almost twice as thick, approximately one and a half times taller, and its crown has expanded from the original five or six meters to about ten meters.
In his dream, Gu Siwei returned to his unfinished house, back to his own bed. On the bedside table was half-eaten fast food and a half-empty bottle of soda.
Taking a bite, the juice is abundant, more delicious than the persimmons on the tree, yet not as good as those from the space, which melt in the mouth, fresh, sweet, and moist
Gu Siwei did not care at all
Hello!
It discovered that Gu Siwei was standing right behind it, merely a step away.
Seeing Gu Siwei's sycophantic monkey, I was immediately moved to tears
Swish
However, he still wants to maintain the sycophant monkey
With three steps and two strides, Gu Siwei climbed the persimmon tree like a nimble monkey, casually plucking a fruit and tearing open its skin.
For the monkey troop, the recent succession of the throne has led to the new leader's disappearance for an extended period. Therefore, it is quite normal for the monkey king to stage a comeback.
He wiped the corner of his mouth, smacked his lips, and savored the taste of the persimmon, feeling a slight sense of satisfaction.
How can one say that Lao Gu has no culture
Look at the monkey's head; it is both large and round
Before even chewing, my mouth is filled with the sweetness of the persimmon, with not a hint of astringency whatsoever
The sycophant monkey immediately sat down next to the old monkey king lying on the ground, happily embracing a persimmon and began to eat.
Gu Siwei now has space persimmons, so why would he care about the persimmons outside? If the monkeys want to eat them, then let them eat.
A trivial matter
Upon entering the space, Gu Siwei discovered a cacophony of wailing and howling from outside
At that moment, Gu Siwei realized that he did not have anything to scoop water with
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the sycophant among the monkey troop was being dealt with by the former monkey king
With eyes slightly open, I wanted to reach out for the drink of happiness, but no matter how hard Gu Siwei tried, he simply could not reach it, which left him quite anxious
In the same instant, this gnarled persimmon tree was laden with fruit, each one fully ripened and resembling translucent, fiery red crystals, hanging abundantly from the branches, nestled among the green leaves
When the trunk had grown to about the thickness of a bucket, the ground suddenly shook
In the blink of an eye, the persimmon tree has grown into an ancient tree that requires two people to embrace it.
The group of monkeys was once again dumbfounded, including the sycophant who had beaten the old monkey king, all staring eagerly at the persimmon tree laden with ripe persimmons.
Gu Siwei picked some more fruits and threw them to the other monkeys in the troop, but he did not throw any to the original old monkey king
Gu Siwei made a gesture of eating
What, will the monkey cry
It simply does not grow as quickly as in a space environment, but it is not slow either; the growth is visible to the naked eye
I can't believe it
At this moment, he could no longer care about so much. After standing up, he directly climbed onto a tree branch, reached for the nearest branch, pulled it over, and picked a persimmon. He tore open the skin of the persimmon and brought it to his mouth
As for what the old monkey king is thinking
If it could speak, this monkey would surely weep bitterly: the world has long suffered from the existence of the dog-monkey king, and it has also long awaited the return of its master
He got up from the ground and casually put his hat back on his head, momentarily unaware that the hat was still wet
Truly indifferent, Gu Siwei allowed the sycophant monkey to beat the old monkey king, remaining silent as if he had not seen anything, and walked over to the persimmon tree while holding his own hat.
Although Gu Siwei has never held a leadership position, he has not only heard of pigs but has also seen them run
When the sunlight in the space shines on the persimmons, the surface of the persimmons, resembling crystal, surprisingly emits a faint glow of sunlight
In this urgency, he opened his eyes
With a gentle sip, the persimmon flesh entered the mouth like jelly
Ah!
It is far more delicious than the persimmons growing on the trees outside
Upon seeing the bold one eat, the monkey group immediately rushed over
This time, Gu Siwei was prepared; as soon as he fell, he immediately jumped three steps away
The persimmon tree in the space is undoubtedly fine, so Gu Siwei began to think about stirring up something else. What to stir up? Naturally, it was the persimmon tree outside.
Delicious
In order to demonstrate his power to the other monkeys, the monkey king naturally exerted one hundred and twenty percent of his effort to flatter his sycophants
This is akin to the feudal society, where peasant uprisings were suppressed, capturing those who rebelled to subject them to slow slicing and skinning, employing extreme torture to intimidate those who harbored thoughts of rebellion
Spit the persimmon seeds into the palm of the hand
Perhaps feeling that the matter was not yet resolved, upon seeing the Monkey King kicked far away by Gu Siwei, the sycophantic monkey rushed over and began to pummel the old Monkey King relentlessly
A small fruit is hardly enough for the monkey to eat for long, so the bolder monkeys finished it and approached the tree, starting to pick fruits while keeping an eye on Gu Siwei.
Now, the sycophant monkey has approached Gu Siwei. In Gu Siwei's eyes, although this monkey is somewhat despicable and shameless, it is entirely a lecherous creature.
Holding a half-hat of water, Gu Siwei exited the space
Gu Siwei had not yet seen clearly when he was startled and fell onto the ground, then he was pushed back about half a meter by the tree trunk that had grown out.
The troop of monkeys erupted in excitement; in the past, they had little qualification to eat many of these persimmons, most of which were consumed by the monkey king. Now that they have persimmons to eat, it suddenly feels as if the monkey troop has transformed from subjects to masters, and life is quite good!
After such a commotion, when Gu Siwei and the monkey group fell quiet again, he felt a bit drowsy. He entered the space and directly lay down under the persimmon tree, falling into a deep sleep on the sandy ground and the illustrated book.
This is a good choice; after a moment's thought, Gu Siwei made his decision
Upon seeing the sycophantic monkey, Gu Siwei extended his foot and kicked the old monkey king, who was holding his head, a distance of three meters away
While striking, emit a suppressive howl.
At this moment, the Monkey King is delightfully dealing with the sycophant Er Gouzi. For him, such matters are intolerable, and at the same time, they are a necessary process for reclaiming his throne
If this were placed outside, you would certainly have no trouble convincing anyone that this persimmon tree is one hundred years old
Continue!
Once it is covered with sand, the next step is naturally to water it
It is uncertain whether the sycophant can understand, as it spoke and threw the persimmon to it
Having picked another persimmon, Gu Siwei called out to the sycophantic monkey.
Turning around to the place where the persimmon seeds were buried, a whole hatful of water was poured down directly
The force of this kick is truly enough to shake a group of monkeys, comforting the hearts of those who flatter.
Unable to resist, Gu Siwei ate seven or eight in a row before finally stopping
The leaves have sprouted again in this cold winter season, and the branches are once again laden with fruit. Even under the moonlight, these fruits remain a tempting shade of bright orange.
Removing the Lei Feng cap from his head, Gu Siwei approached the spring and directly dipped the hat into the pool, scooping up nearly a hatful of spring water
It is very obvious that it originally had a diameter roughly the size of a bowl, and it began to expand outward in all directions
Following the gaze of a monkey, the old monkey king instantly shivered
In an instant, it began to exude a flavor reminiscent of a splendid crown.
Clever as he is, Lao Gu quickly discovers that there are two things on his body that can hold water
Slurp
Understood
The old monkey king pressed the flatterer down while riding, causing half of the flatterer's face to swell, screaming as if being slaughtered.
Even if Gu Siwei had no intention of acting as the Bird Monkey King, the sycophantic monkey has made its stance clear, and Gu Siwei, both emotionally and logically, must take this into consideration.
The second is the Lei Feng cap on the head
Having become accustomed to it, he directly took off his hat and scooped a hatful of water from the spring
At this moment, the sycophant is filled with desire but lacks the strength. Its physical condition has always been significantly worse than that of the Monkey King. In a monkey troop, only those with a high status can ensure a sufficient supply of food. Monkeys like the sycophant have never been well-fed since childhood, making it impossible for them to develop healthily.
Being beaten is certain
Gu Siwei crouched down and extended his hand, using his finger to poke a small hole in the sandy ground, into which he placed the persimmon seed he had just spat out.
Gu Siwei was aware of this outcome, but he truly did not expect that the spring water from his hat would directly transform this persimmon tree into an ancient tree
How much can one hold with their hands? Moreover, Gu Siwei does not wish to go back and forth.
The tree has grown
What is the big deal? There is no profound knowledge involved. It is simply that leaders need to take care of those who align with them and deal with those who do not.
Gu Siwei was quite astonished
The sycophantic monkey that had turned over immediately approached Gu Siwei, reaching out a hand to tug at Gu Siwei's pant leg, instantly filled with tears, a multitude of grievances surging to the heart
This still reflects Gu Siwei's lack of foresight; it would take four to five hundred years for a tree placed outside to grow to this size.
The old monkey king, coming to his senses, immediately got off the sycophant, sat down obediently on the ground, and wrapped his arms around his head.
Arriving beside the persimmon tree, I poured the spring water down according to the roots of the tree
After some thought, I reverted back to the half cap.
It has been proven that monkeys are quite intelligent. When Gu Siwei threw a persimmon, the sycophantic monkey immediately extended its hands and securely caught the persimmon
