But obviously, the wish that Morris made may not be what he expected, so much so that Morris hated the monkey's paw that was supposed to be a treasure. Because he drank more wine, under the alcohol
Motivated by this, Morris even took out his monkey's paw and threw it into the fireplace to destroy it without hesitation.
At this time, Watt, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly rushed over, rescued the monkey's paw from the fireplace, and then told Morris that since he didn't want this thing, he might as well give it to him.
Morris agreed to Watt's request because they were all old friends, but he also warned Watt that using the monkey's paw without permission would have serious consequences, and he'd better throw it into the fireplace.
Good to burn.
But Watt, who had been blinded by greed, completely ignored Morris's warning and insisted on keeping the monkey's paw. He also asked Morris to learn how to use the monkey's paw to make a wish.
After that, the monkey's paw was temporarily forgotten, and the Watt family once again became immersed in the story of Morris's adventures in India.
It wasn't until Morris left that the Watt family took up the idea of the monkey's paw again.
Watt's wife and son were dubious about the fact that the monkey's paw could fulfill the three wishes of the wish-maker, and did not quite believe what Morris had said before. In their opinion, this might be similar to Morris's adventure stories in India.
They are all just stories he made up to liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table.
Only Watt was convinced about the monkey's paw, but he didn't know what wish to make.
Finally, inspired by his family, Watt decided to make a small wish for the monkey's paw to test whether it really had the ability to make wishes come true.
So, under the watchful eyes of his family, Watt made a wish to get two hundred pounds.
After the wish was made, the Watt family became very curious about the monkey's paw. No one knew how it would deliver two hundred pounds to their home, because although the money did not sound like much, in the era when the story took place,
For an ordinary person like Watt, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
In this regard, Watt and others also hypothesized many possibilities. For example, the money might fall from the sky, or they might accidentally pick up someone else's lost wallet on the ground.
Although they made a lot of guesses, no one thought how terrifying the way the monkey's paw would fulfill its wishes would be.
The next day, shortly after Watt's son went to work in the factory, the old couple who stayed at home received an uninvited guest.
This strange guest told the Watts that he came from the factory where their son worked, and the purpose of his visit this time was actually to inform them of the bad news of their son!
Shortly after going to work today, Watt's son had an accident. He was accidentally involved in a machine while working and died on the spot.
Out of moral considerations, the factory where Watt's son worked sent this person to notify the Watts and send them a pension on behalf of the factory.
To their surprise, this pension was no more than two hundred pounds.
In other words, Watt's wish for the monkey's paw came true! However, the way it fulfilled his wish was extremely cruel. It actually used the life of Watt's son to let Watt get the two hundred pounds.
huge sum of money.
The money was obtained, but his son was also lost. The sudden blow brought the Watt family to the verge of collapse.
A week after that, Watt's wife was greatly stimulated mentally and became crazy all day long. Although Watt was a little better than his wife, she also suddenly became much older. As for the sum of money that was exchanged for their son's life
The two hundred pounds came, but the two of them never touched a penny.
Days like this continued until shortly after the funeral of Watt's son. One night, Watt's wife suddenly woke up from her dream, and then asked for the monkey's paw like Watt like crazy.
It turned out that Watt's wife thought of something in her sleep, that is, although her son died because of the monkey's paw, he could still live because of the monkey's paw, and the purpose of asking for the monkey's paw was to use the monkey's paw.
Zhao made a wish to bring his son back to life.
Watt was unwilling to do this. He felt that it was impossible to resurrect his son, because when his son died, his body was not intact. In such a situation, even the monkey
It's impossible for Claw to resurrect his son, right?
Although Watt thought so, he couldn't stand his wife's repeated urging. Finally, Watt couldn't stand his wife's coercion and made a wish to resurrect his son.
Although he made the wish, Watt felt that it was impossible for the dead to be resurrected. The fact was just as he thought. After making the wish, they did not see anyone coming. It seemed that,
It was as if the wish he made never came true.
Just when Watt was about to take his wife back to sleep, there was a heavy knock on the door at his home!
Who was knocking on the door? Watt didn't know. The knocker outside the door didn't shout, but kept knocking on the door over and over again.
Amidst the constant knocking on the door, Watt's wife suddenly realized that the person outside the door was their son? His son's cemetery was two miles away from home, that's why he came so late!
Hearing his wife's words, Watt couldn't help but feel frightened. Is it really his son who came back? But if it was really his son outside the door, why didn't he speak?
Just when Watt was worried because of the knock on the door, his wife had been completely carried away by the love for her son. She wanted to open the door without even knowing what was outside the door.
In desperation, Watt had no choice but to use the monkey's paw to make one last wish, letting his son return to where he belonged.
Almost at the same time that Watt finished making his wish, his wife also opened the door, only to find that the outside had become empty. The person or thing that knocked on the door just now had long disappeared...
The story of Three Fatty ended here. After listening to it, I couldn't help but have many questions to ask: "Three Fatty, this story ends like this? Is Watt's son really resurrected?"
The third fat man shrugged and said, "Who knows? It's not mentioned in the story. Maybe he was really resurrected, or maybe Watt was just a zombie who was outside the door at that time. After all, judging from the story, the monkey
The claw's way of granting wishes is not very reliable, so it might just resurrect Watt's son in the form of a zombie."
"What a strange story. By the way, didn't you say that this story is related to the dossier you want to show me? Now that I have heard the story, what about the dossier?" I said.
The third fat man did what he said. After telling the story, he gave me the file.
After the previous preparations, I was already very curious about what he was going to show me this time, and I kept guessing in my mind about the story of the monkey's paw that the third fat man just told me, and the file he showed me.
What kind of connection is there? So much so that this guy actually told me a story?
After opening the cover of the dossier, I found that the source of the information seemed to come from a post on the Internet.
The original post of this post was posted on a well-known domestic forum. A netizen named "Mojin Xiaowei" wrote in the post that his family recently got an ancient artifact from overseas by chance. This ancient artifact is said to have magical powers.
The power can satisfy the three wishes of the owner of the antiquities. Because the "Golden Captain" didn't know what wish to make, he went to the Internet to find netizens to share the details...
"Three wishes?"
Seeing this, I immediately raised my head, looked at San Fatty and said, "San Fatty, why do the ancient objects written on it look so much like the monkey's paw in your story just now?"
The third fat man was sitting on a chair, tapping Erlang's legs leisurely, and said to me at the same time: "Don't rush to conclusions, just keep reading."
After hearing what the third fat man said, I also realized that I was a little impatient just now, so I continued to read patiently.
