After the divorce, I became a mountain god

What could be the reason why the monkeys came to find me?
Xu Bo'an was extremely curious.

Because he was thinking about the bonsai, Xu Bo'an didn't want to continue chatting here. He looked at Lin Shan with a smile and responded respectfully: "Brother Lin, to be honest,
I haven't decided what to do yet, so I'll probably take a break for a while before making any plans! But if I really start a business selling hangover liquid, I'll definitely not forget you."

Lin Shan laughed heartily and said with satisfaction: "It is still my brother Bo'an who gives me face. Come, let's go for a drink." Then he picked up the tea and clinked glasses with Xu Bo'an.

He knew Xu Boan's ability. The existence of the hangover liquid alone could make Xu Boan earn a fortune. After all, it is difficult to get rid of the bar culture in all 365 industries nowadays. It can be said that the market is very large.

The existence of such a heaven-defying thing as hangover sobering liquid will definitely make people scramble for it!

However, Lin Shan didn't know that the sobering liquid was just the tip of the iceberg in Xu Bo'an's life. Apart from anything else, if he knew about the existence of the "fairy peach", he would be so shocked!
After Xu Bo'an and Lin Shan finished their cup of tea, they took out their phones from their pockets and took a look at them in a fake manner. They said apologetically, "Brothers, I have something to do and need to make a phone call. You guys chat first and I'll make the call."

Xu Bo'an used the excuse of going out to see what the monkeys were looking for him for inside the bonsai.

These monkeys once gave monkey wine to the villagers of Kaoshan Village, and gave Xu Bo'an hundreds of years old Polygonum multiflorum. They can be called messengers of wealth in the jungle, and Xu Bo'an likes such partners very much.

As Xu Bo'an walked out of the box with a smile on his face, the staff waiting outside the door, ready to provide service at any time, came to greet him with a smile: "Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

The staff of the Dynasty Hotel also knew that their boss was in this box, so anyone who came out of here was naturally a distinguished guest in the eyes of the staff. Not only were they exceptionally polite, they also spoke in a clearly flattering tone, and their service attitude was incredibly good.

Xu Boan waved his hand and asked casually, "It's nothing serious. There are still empty boxes. I have an important call to return!"

The waiter looked at the watch on his wrist, then pointed to a private room not far away and said, "The guest of this room has made an appointment to come in an hour. If you think it's okay, you can stay here."

Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. That's all!" As he spoke, he walked into the empty box and closed the door behind him.

After finding a comfortable position and sitting casually on the soft sofa, Xu Bo'an's mind moved and his sight came to the mountain temple.

Inside the mountain temple, there was indeed the group of monkeys that he had seen before, waiting for him in a mess.

Monkeys are monkeys after all, and they are already giving themselves face by not climbing up and down here.

Otherwise, the height of the statue would not be a problem for them.

Xu Boan looked at this group of familiar monkeys and felt like he was meeting old friends again. He immediately asked in a familiar manner, "What are you doing here?"

The monkey leader whom Xu Boan had seen was very surprised when he heard Xu Boan's voice, and hurriedly said: "Save...save...Grandpa Mountain God, save...save..."

While expressing his opinion anxiously, the monkey stretched out his arm and pointed at a monkey surrounded by several other monkeys not far away.

OK! I'm here to ask for help again!

Xu Boan couldn't help but think of the last time when the little monkey had a fever. After he provided anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs, the monkey leader gave him the root of Polygonum multiflorum.

I just don’t know what trouble the monkeys are in this time.

Looking in the direction the monkey leader pointed, Xu Boan understood what was happening to the little monkey at just one glance.

The monkey didn't look very big, but it looked very frightened. It couldn't help scratching its throat with one paw, and it was obvious that its throat was uncomfortable.

Its breathing was heavy and much faster than other monkeys, and the area around its mouth and nose seemed pale, which looked like symptoms of difficulty breathing.

Well, it’s obvious that he was choked, but I don’t know what he was choking on.

As if thinking of something, the monkey leader ran to the side, took half of the remaining peach from a monkey's paw, and shook it towards the statue, saying incoherently: "This...eat this...and then...this is it...Grandpa Mountain God...help...help..."

Xu Bo'an's face flashed with a strange expression of disbelief, and he asked: "You mean, it was choked by the peach!"

No way, a monkey eats a peach? Choked?

What a niche word!
This is as strange as a kitten getting a fishbone stuck in its throat while eating fish, or a gorilla getting its teeth stuck while eating a banana!
The monkey leader shook his head and pointed to the round hole in the middle of the peach.

That place is where the peach pit grows in the middle of the peach. There was originally a peach pit, but now it is empty!
Xu Boan instantly understood that the monkey with difficulty breathing was choking on a peach pit.

There is a foreign object in the airway, causing obstruction!
Airway obstruction is a physical problem. From a scientific point of view, this symptom cannot be cured by medicine, and it is even more impossible to overcome it by relying on one's own immune system.

In the past, monkeys could rely on their own immunity to get through minor illnesses and pains, but if they continue to endure this kind of symptoms, they will die!

The monkeys had no effective solution. After much thought, they decided that the best way was to ask for help from the Mountain God.

After all, those who had had interactions with the mountain god before felt that the gods were more reliable.

Xu Boan saw it and understood that the situation was urgent. After all, in this kind of situation, every minute left would increase the danger.

The best solution at the moment is to use the Heimlich maneuver to expel the peach pit blocking the little monkey's throat.

Although Xu Boan had learned about the Heimlich maneuver through a Kuaiyin short video before, it was only after Xu Boan understood and mastered the medical books handed down from the Zhang family's ancestors that he realized that similar treatment methods had existed as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhang Zhongjing once introduced in his book "Golden Chamber Synopsis" that in the case of airway obstruction by foreign objects, first aid can be provided by pressing the chest and abdomen, and flexing and extending the limbs.

Although this method is slightly different from the Heimlich maneuver in details, the ideas are basically the same. Both methods use external force to stimulate the patient in order to restore the patient's spontaneous breathing.

Seeing that the little monkey's breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, Xu Bo'an didn't waste any time. He immediately reached out his hand and shrunk his body to the same size as the little man in the bonsai.
Then he stretched out a hand, supported the little monkey's body with his arm, and gently fixed the little monkey's head with his hand to make sure it would no longer move.

After getting ready, Xu Boan used his other hand to suddenly strike the monkey's back in the middle of its shoulder blades, slapping it five times quickly before stopping.

However, the peach pit was not photographed successfully. Xu Bo'an frowned slightly and immediately adopted the second plan. He adjusted the posture immediately and turned the little monkey over so that its head was facing down and its legs were facing up, and placed it on his thighs face to face.

Then, Xu Boan stretched out one hand to hold the monkey's head and neck firmly, and with the other hand, he stretched out his index and middle fingers, increasing the force and quickly pressing the middle of the monkey's chest. After a while, when Xu Boan pressed for the fourth time, a peach pit as big as a thumb came out of the monkey's mouth.

It fell to the ground and bounced several times before it became motionless, which attracted the attention of the monkeys.

Fresh air immediately entered the little monkey's lungs, and the monkey's expression suddenly relieved. He took a few deep breaths, which triggered a violent cough, but he finally stopped struggling.

Soon, the little monkey gradually calmed down and its breathing finally returned to normal.

Seeing that the little monkey's symptoms had disappeared, the monkeys cheered and rejoiced, marveling at the magic of the mountain god.

What a group of monkeys tried their best to accomplish was easily solved by the Mountain God in just a short while.

In fact, they didn't understand that this was just Xu Bo'an showing off his skills, and even the medicine was useless.

They only know that the actions of gods are different!
Because they couldn't see Xu Bo'an's figure, they just saw the little monkey fly up into the air and lie in the air, then lie face down in the air, and then open its mouth and spit out a peach pit.

In their perception, this is definitely the behavior of gods.

As expected, only the magical powers of immortality were effective and could save the endangered little monkey in an instant.

Of course, let alone monkeys, if humans saw this scene, they would also be stunned and sigh secretly, God is above us!

Otherwise, the people in Kaoshan Village and even Shanyang County would not be so devoted to worshipping Xu Bo'an as a god!

"Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God..."

"Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God."

The monkeys chattered in a disorderly manner, expressing their gratitude to the mountain god.

Xu Bo'an said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay, you guys can go about your business!"

However, the monkeys did not disperse, and a group of monkeys looked around.

The leader of the monkey group was even more chattering, and with the movements of baring teeth and claws, he vaguely called out: "Come quickly, bring our things to Grandpa Mountain God!"

Soon, Xu Boan saw five monkeys coming forward, each holding a dried gourd.

That kind of gourd is the common one in the Calabash Brothers cartoon, with a small belly on top and a big belly on the bottom. Xu Boan remembers that when he was a child, many people in the village used this kind of gourd as a scoop for water and grain!

A person with good craftsmanship can saw the gourd in half, drill a hole at the tail and wrap a rope around it, and it will become a natural and pollution-free water and grain ladle!
At present, the five gourds are of similar size, about the size of an electric kettle. Five monkeys jumped up and placed the five gourds on the incense table in front of the mountain god statue.

Before the gourd was opened, Xu Boan, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled a refreshing and mellow aroma that was extremely familiar.

It seems... this is monkey wine?
This group of monkeys had delivered some to the villagers of Kaoshan Village before. At that time, the villagers also offered a lot of it to the Mountain God. Xu Boan was reluctant to drink it, and now there are still some in stock.

Xu Boan remembered clearly that these monkey wines were not ordinary. After drinking them, they even had the magical effect of stopping hair loss and promoting hair growth.

Therefore, Xu Boan naturally would not drink this thing which was like a good medicine. Moreover, Xu Boan was not a person who loved drinking, so he was able to retain some of it.

But there wasn't much of that stuff to begin with, just about half a bucket, and even if Xu Boan was frugal, he couldn't produce new ones.

But monkeys actually have monkey wine, so doesn’t that make it a renewable resource?

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an felt particularly happy.

Each of these gourds has a capacity of about two or three liters. This amount of monkey wine must weigh at least more than twenty kilograms!
"Grandpa Mountain God... these delicious drinks... are for you to drink... they are delicious..."

The monkey leader promoted his product in a happy tone.

Xu Boan valued these monkey wines very much, and he didn't bother to be polite with the monkeys. He said casually: "Okay, for your kindness, I will accept these monkey wines."

As he spoke, Xu Bo'an stretched out his hand into the air and took away all the gourds at once.

The monkeys only saw emptiness before their eyes, and the gourds disappeared.

When the monkey leader saw that the Mountain God accepted the gift he brought, he said happily: "Mountain God... we are leaving, leaving!"

Xu Bo'an thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, give me this monkey wine, do you have anything else to drink?"

The monkey leader responded, "Thank you... Grandpa Mountain God... for your concern. We... don't drink much on weekdays... In a few days, the next batch of delicious wine will be almost ready... We thought we came in a hurry this time... When the next batch of wine is brewed, we will come again... to visit you again!"

Next batch?
Xu Boan raised his eyebrows!
The output is pretty good. It’s actually divided into batches? I just don’t know how much is in each batch.

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an asked, "How much monkey wine do you have in this batch? I mean, how many of these gourds can be filled?"

As he spoke, Xu Bo'an took out a gourd and shook it to make it easier for the monkey leader to understand what he meant.

The monkey leader shook his head, waving his two furry paws, and said, "It's hard to say... hard to say! Those delicious drinks... are made by chance... and... and the amount that can be produced each time is not fixed!

If the Mountain God wants to know, I will come and tell him after I have checked the wine thoroughly once it is ready!"

Xu Bo'an sighed slightly in his heart, it seemed that he was overthinking.

Monkey wine is usually brewed by chance when the weather and location are right. It is very rare for these monkeys to have such a skill. (End of this chapter)
