  Crossing is not an easy thing, it means giving up everything in the past.

   And when the journey is not smooth, when there is only time left to think, the only memories will become a huge burden on the mind.

  The stone monkey drifting at sea is in such a state. He not only misses Huaguo Mountain, but also misses his father, his mother, his classmates, his teachers, his mobile phone, his TV, his internet... In short, he misses everything.

   If he can go back, even if he is given ten Monkey Kings, he will not be interested.

  When he was in Huaguo Mountain, he was running around in order to survive, and he hardly had time to think about these things. Now...

   All the inadvertently forgotten pasts of the past few months were popping up at this moment to torment him endlessly.

   Staring at the ever blue sky and the ever blue sea all day long, thinking about these things over and over again is a feeling that seems to be suffocating at any moment.

   Several times he stared at the dark, deep blue water below for hours and almost jumped.

   "Maybe I'll wear it back when I die," he thought.

   looked back at the tent built with branches and leaves and the fruit piled inside, he thought again: "But even if I don't jump, I will die at any time."

   The current situation is from the birth of Huaguo Mountain to drifting at sea. When is he not struggling to death?

  Going to the sea is actually a crazy move. No matter how big a raft is on this vast sea, it is no different from a fallen leaf. Those fruits may rot before the stone monkeys finish eating.

   I just hope that the fresh water in coconut shells can hold up to the opposite side of the sea.

   "Maybe there will be a storm tonight and the raft will be finished, and then so will I."

   "What are you talking about? Monkey." Canary gave him a stern look.

  Things are often good but not bad. There was a real storm that night. A big wave hit the whole raft and the whole raft fell apart.

   After struggling in the sea all night, the monkey woke up the next day with only one big tree trunk left.

   There is no water, let alone food, only the canaries are left.

   "Look! I said don't say such unlucky things! What should I do now?" Canary flapped its wings and chattered.

"I found…"

   "Found what?"

  Monkey looked at the scorching sun and said slowly: "I found that when I really wanted to die, I was reluctant to die."

   "You're sick!" Canary was about to cry.

   The monkey had already thought about this situation when he went out to sea. In fact, his only reliance on going to sea this time is the unique sense of direction of birds, which is equivalent to having a natural compass.

  According to the predetermined direction, they wanted to take advantage of the monsoon to advance southwest to Nanzhanbuzhou, and then cross Nanzhanbuzhou to Xiniuhezhou.

   In the current situation, even if there is a "compass", it may not help much.

   flew into the sky in a hurry, the canary went back and forth in a panic, and she flew back after a long time.

   "See the island?"

   "No." Canary shook her head in frustration.

   "There is no water, no food. In this case, the most important thing is to save physical strength." The stone monkey fell directly on the half-floating tree trunk, leaving only one tail swaying around.

   "If you fly a little further, maybe..."

   "Go find the island, as long as we find the island, we will be saved." Stone Monkey said with half-squinted eyes.

   "What if I find the island and can't find you?"

  Canary is right, ocean currents change rapidly.

   It is not difficult to find an island with the sense of direction of a canary, but once you leave the sight of the stone monkey, whether you can meet the stone monkey again after finding the island is a huge problem.

   Stone monkey did not answer this question.

   The bird and the monkey stayed at one end of the tree trunk, and remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

  When the noon sun scorched the back of the stone monkey, the stone monkey said, "Go away, without me, you will definitely be saved."

   "What about you?" Canary asked.

   "Me? I'm Sun Wukong, the spirit monkey conceived in my heaven and earth will definitely not die in such a miserable manner."

  Canary didn't understand, she just shook her head: "I'm not leaving, even if you can be saved if I leave, you won't be able to go anywhere. Didn't you say you want to cultivate immortals and seek the Tao?"

   "What are you talking about now? Go, I won't blame you."

  Despair is sometimes a kind of relief. Facing the vast and boundless sea, he can't do anything, but in this way, it is peaceful.

   Maybe it should have died when crossing, not every stone monkey can become Monkey King. Perhaps, walking out of a road like the Monkey King is a very small chance in itself.

   It's nothing to think about this failed attempt, just to pull an innocent canary to die with him, which is a bit embarrassing.

   "I'm not going." Canary raised her eyes.

   "You will only drag me down if you stay! Hurry up! You will die if you don't leave!"

   "I won't leave, I want you to take care of me! I want you to take care of me! I can do whatever I like! I won't leave!" Canary's tears flowed.

  The eye sockets of the stone monkey gradually turned red.

   When he came to this world, he didn't cry less, is Sun Wukong crying so easily?

   But heroes should not have tears.

   "From this point of view, I am not a hero."

   The first day passed in a blink of an eye.

   When the sun rises the next day, the sea water that slaps on the body has evaporated, leaving granules of salt suspended in the hair. This made the stone monkey feel uncomfortable.

   Worse is hunger and thirst.

   All kinds of feelings made him extremely irritable, but he didn't even have the strength to lose his temper.

   And the island still can't even see the shadow. If you want to find the island naturally along the current, this kind of luck is enough to buy a lottery ticket.

   Looking at the other end of the tree trunk, the canary, who squatted and squatted on the bark, has also begun to become weak.

  The **** of death was already close to them.

"go?"

   "No." Canary said stubbornly.

   Stone Monkey didn't ask any more questions, he just stared at the sky quietly.

  When the sun rose again at sea on the third day, the stone monkey and the canary leaned together.

   This made the stone monkey have to be careful not to press her, but he liked the feeling of snuggling with each other.

"go?"

   "No." The answer was still the same, except that Canary didn't open her eyes.

   "Why do you have to cultivate immortals and seek Taoism? I have never seen a monkey like you." Canary asked.

   "That's because I'm not a monkey."

   "Not a monkey?"

   "Actually, it's also a monkey, but... In short, I'm not an ordinary monkey. In fact, I should have gone to sea three hundred years later, so that's all right. Maybe I'm too impatient."

"why?"

"do not know."

  …

   "Sparrow, do you have any wishes?"

"I'm a canary! Canary... Forget it, I don't have the strength to deal with you. My wish... I want to fly higher and far, like an eagle. Then I can go to more places... If I It's an eagle, so the island must have been found by now."

   "There will be a day, as long as you reach the Xieyue Sanxingdong and become an immortal, you will have everything." Monkey said.

   "Can I fix it too?"

"certainly."

   "After completing the cultivation, what can I do?"

  …

   "Monkey, what are you cultivating for?"

"For...I don't know, um, I think about it. I don't want to be an ordinary monkey anymore, I want to learn to become a seventy-two transformation and find a place to be the king of the mountain, um, it's better to get a few more concubines and live happily. Feel free, and you don’t have to be afraid of such a small role as a leopard anymore. At that time, I will build you a palace like a human palace in Huaguoshan, heaven and earth, as long as you want, there is nothing I can’t do.”

   "How many concubines will you get? You can have them even if you don't repair, but I know that several female monkeys drooled when they looked at you."

   "Go! Who wants a female monkey? At that time, only fairies will be worthy of me... Well, a beautiful vixen will do."

   "Can't it be a canary?"

  The stone monkey suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the puffed canary.

   Well, this bull demon can hook up with a fox spirit, and a snake spirit can hook up with a scorpion spirit. Think about this monkey essence and canary essence... It seems that there is no problem.

   But isn't this not yet refined? Is love really beyond species? Why do you feel so twisted?

   "Alright, alright, when I become the king of the mountain, I will send someone to tie you back to be Mrs. Yazhai."

   "Yeah!" Canary nodded happily, lowered her head and jumped to the rock monkey's creaking nest to rub: "You must remember to send someone to tie it up."

   "But let's talk about it first, you have to be more beautiful when you transform into a human form, or I will regret it at any time."

   "If you're not pretty, I'll send someone to tie you back to be the prime minister."

   "...that's okay too?"

   Time goes by, this endless conversation is still going on, but the voice is getting weaker and weaker.

  The sun rises and sets on the sea, the clouds fly in the air, hunger, thirst, the scorching sun, and the cold sea breeze with moisture.

   Until the early morning of the seven days, both the canary and the stone monkey had fallen into a semi-conscious state.

   In the haze, the stone monkey seemed to see a golden carp floating on the sea.
