He put the silver away, showed himself in his own shape, drew out the iron cudgel, paddled the fool over to the bank, took hold of his feet, hauled him up and untied the ropes.

藏 reads cáng, to hide something away — not the zàng of the master's name. 著 reads zhe, the holding kept up while he pulls.

Bajie sprang up, stripped off his clothes, wrung the water out, gave them a shake and pulled them on again sodden, and said: "Brother, let us go out by the back door."

乾 reads gān, dry — not the qián of the first hexagram, which is the reading that comes to hand first. 潮漉漉的 — dripping wet.


總評 Commentary

The rescue takes one sentence and six verbs. Wukong pockets the silver first — the order matters — then changes back, paddles his brother to the edge with a weapon that weighs thirteen and a half thousand catties, and lifts him out by the feet. There is no tenderness in it anywhere and it is entirely effective.

Then a detail that only a writer paying attention would include: Bajie strips, wrings his clothes out, shakes them, and puts them back on still soaking. He has nothing else to wear. The garment he was saving for has just been confiscated, and he is standing in a demon's back garden pulling wet cloth over his skin.

His first suggestion is the back door, which tells you everything about how he intends to leave. He has been beaten, drowned, robbed and untied, and what he wants now is to get out without meeting anybody.
