Cross the bamboo forest and cross the river.

The girl always laughed along the way. When she saw flowers, plants, sky, and small fish, she would laugh, as if there were things to be happy all the way.

Wukong didn't understand what the girl was laughing at, but he unexpectedly loved to hear the silver bell-like sound. The evil ghosts in his belly seemed to love to hear it, and gradually he was no longer restless.

After a while, the girl finally brought the monkey to a low wooden shed.

"I'm back." She happily lifted the curtain of the wooden shed: "I picked some wild vegetables and radishes today, enough for us to eat for a few days."

Wukong followed in.

Looking around, it was very simple here, with only a few straw mats, and there was a person sitting in the corner of the shed.

His gray hair was very long and drooping, covering his face. Compared to his slender limbs, his belly was a bit too big, like four bamboo sticks inserted into a bucket, wearing a tattered robe, covering most of his body, and he was hiding in the shadows, so he couldn't see it clearly.

"Oh, Master, you are back, I..." The man raised his head and said slowly, his voice extremely weak, but the moment Wukong walked in, his voice suddenly stopped.

The girl didn't feel the strangeness of the man, but just walked forward and looked at a bowl of wild vegetable soup on the ground.

"Bajie, you haven't eaten yet. If this happens, when will your illness be cured?"

The person known as Bajie smiled weakly: "I'm so sorry, I don't have much appetite today."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. There are radishes in a while. You should be able to eat a lot." After saying that, the girl finally remembered that there was a monkey behind her. She smiled and pointed at Goku: "This is what I encountered on the road. I must have been hungry for a few days and have a better understanding of human nature, so let it come over and eat something."

"Oh..." The person in the shadow nodded: "Whatever the master said is what."

"Haha, okay, then you guys are waiting here, I'll go cook food, don't fight."

After saying that, the girl turned around and walked out of the wooden shed.

The curtain was put down, the light outside was cut off, and the whole shed seemed even darker... The person in the shadow just looked at Goku, and neither of them said a word.

Outside the curtain, a jingling sound rang out, and soon the smoke from the cooking stove drifted away. The fireworks on earth always start from meals.

After a stick of incense, the curtain was lifted up again, and the girl walked in with the soup for two nights.

"It's time to eat... It's rare that there is something delicious today. Little Monkey, you are so lucky." The girl said, handing the bowl to Wukong and Bajie a bowl.

The man stretched out his skinny arms out of the shadow and took the soup: "It smells so good."

Girl: "Yes, eat quickly."

The evil ghost in Wukong's belly was screaming. He didn't think much, and suddenly grabbed the vegetable leaves and radish strips from the bowl and stuffed them into his mouth.

However, just the moment those things touch the taste buds.

"vomit--"

A strong sense of nausea surged out of the stomach, but there was nothing in the stomach, so Wukong could only lean on the ground in pain and kept retching.

"What's wrong?" The girl hurried to Goku's side: "Half ache, or are you injured too?"

Goku was so disgusting that he could only moan.

"You stick with it, I'll go find some herbs..." The girl was also panicked. She quickly grabbed the door and told the person in the shadow before leaving: "Look at this little monkey, I'll come back soon."

"Okay...Okay..." Bajie sipped the soup in small sips, his tone still extremely weak.

In this way, the girl ran out of the hut, and only Wukong and Bajie were left in the shed.

Bajie murmured in a low voice: "You... are also demons."

Wukong was still lying on the ground, and his hunger made him reluctant to say another word.

"Haha, don't you know that monsters can only eat people, other monsters, cattle, sheep, livestock, and occasionally some fruits, snakes, insects, rats and ants, but they cannot relieve hunger.

And these dishes... are unavailable.

Not only can I not eat it, but even if I taste it, I will feel disgusting for many days.”

As Bajie said, he sucked the soup in the bowl in small mouthfuls, and swallowed it very slowly, not like eating, but more like practicing something.

Just like that, after taking a few sips, he saw that Wukong still didn't say anything: "Okay, I'll just say it straight, that girl is my master, I don't care if you eat others, but you can't touch a piece of her hair... If you know what you know, leave now, I won't kill you."

......eat that girl...?

Wukong was stunned for a moment.

Yes, why didn’t I eat that girl? I was on the road just now, and I should have eaten her.

"Who is she?" Wukong asked, enduring hunger.

Bajie shook his head: "I don't know, she didn't tell me her name, maybe she didn't know it herself.

And I just called her master.

Because she said that when my illness is cured, I will teach me to go to the mountains to recognize fruits and wild vegetables, so that I can know what I can eat and what I can’t eat. In this way, I can live a good life without her in the future.

Hahaha---

How could she know that my illness cannot be cured?

I'm... hungry..."

Hungry!

The moment when this word was said, Bajie's huge belly, which was disproportionate to his body, began to shrink wildly, like a fish on the verge of drought, sucking hopelessly in the air, and every time it made the most terrifying evil ghost howl.

Bajie covered his face in pain, and his fangs grew little by little until he crossed his ears.

He was so hungry that every time his stomach whispered was like a death. He should have died ten or a hundred times, but he was still alive.

Wukong watched Bajie lift up the robe, and a terrifying body that made people breathe in the shadow appeared in the shadow, covered with bright red wounds, and each wound was surrounded by clear traces of fangs.

He stretched out his thin hand and pulled up the red meat from a wound. At the same time, he lowered his head and tore the piece of meat with his terrifying teeth.

He began to chew, and the brief feeling of fullness and huge pain made him linger on the edge of life and death.

He... is eating himself...

"How long have you been like this?"

"It's been three years, but five years, I've forgotten it." Bajie murmured.

"Why do you need this?"

"Hahahaha--" Bajie laughed.

He took back his fangs and covered his body with his robe again, his eyes blurred, and he fell into memories.

“Many years ago, I was still a pig, but I became a demon because I drank a pool of red water.

The demon is about to eat people, and I knew this at the moment after I had thought.

One day, a big demon slaughtered a village, and corpses were everywhere.

I was very happy because there must be a lot of leftover meat and corpses in the village, so I rushed towards the village frantically.

And after arriving at the village, I saw her...

She stood quietly on the piles of corpses.

In his arms, he was lonely and motionless.

I saw her crying, and tears kept surging, making my spine chill.

The sunset that day was the color of blood, and a tear on her cheek coincided with the sunset light.
