The sixth萌, traveling together.

Cough cough ... ... This means to maintain an optimistic attitude and strive for progress

With her long hair flowing, Sun Wukong walked to the place where she cooked noodles. The bowl containing instant noodles was still placed on the ground. Tang Sen smiled at her and said, "Having been trapped under the mountain for 500 years and unable to move, you must be very hungry. That bowl of noodles is for you."

"Wow, you are truly a clever person!" Sun Wukong exclaimed with great joy, "I, Old Sun, will do just that"

Tang Sen laughed and said: "Your plan is difficult to realize even at the first step! Do you know? Over the course of 500 years, the population of the Great Tang has increased by more than ten times, from 100 million to 1.4 billion. Now, people are everywhere; walking down the street, you could throw a handful of small stones and hit a dozen men. To find someone to marry among so many people, how easy do you think that is?"

Ah? Then... what should we do?" Sun Wukong exclaimed in astonishment

Tang Sen smiled again and said, "I happen to have business to attend to at Lingshan in Xiniu Hezhou as well. How about we travel together?"

Sun Wukong's hands were small and soft, feeling quite comfortable to hold. However, Tang Sen had no improper thoughts; he had encountered many beautiful women in his life and was not easily moved. While holding her delicate little hand, his mind wandered to his mother: he wondered if she had eaten on time. No, he needed to call her to remind her to order takeout. He must tell her the delivery phone number of the fast-food restaurant downstairs, or else she might end up starving at home.

Barber? What era is this term from? Tang Sen suddenly realized that this woman had been trapped under the Five Finger Mountain 500 years ago, during a time that still belonged to the feudal society. At that time, there were no barbershops or beauty salons, only barbers who roamed the streets.

This type of woman is extremely easy to deceive. Tang Sen's fear of her dissipated, and instead, he felt a desire to gather some information from her. He waved his hand and said, "Come with me, I have a way to help you make your hair beautiful"

The two extended their hands and gently shook hands, thus becoming companions from that moment on

A warm hand gently caressed the long hair of the petite girl. As the electric hair clippers moved, her long hair was cut, trimmed to a length that reached her back, beautiful and flowing, light and graceful. Water was scooped from the nearby stream to dampen her hair, followed by a small amount of travel-sized shampoo, which was gently lathered into bubbles before being rinsed clean

Would you like to have another bowl?

Sun Wukong wiped away his tears and laughed heartily, saying: "Well said! I, Old Sun, am not someone who cries easily; I just couldn't help it for a moment. Stay optimistic and strive for progress! Haha!"

Tang Sen thought to himself: The noodles you ate 500 years ago were all handmade, free of any additives; that was truly good stuff. What is this instant noodle, filled with preservatives, but a mere trifle? Of course, this is only a thought; if spoken, it would take on a different flavor: "Delicious, right? Then eat more; these noodles are quite expensive..."

Tang Sen thought to himself: This will do, I am indeed going to the West. I am not going to marry; I merely wish to travel and, by the way, understand the truth behind how the immortals deceive a mortal like me. Therefore, I should not be considered a "groom" and I have not deceived this poor girl. We will journey together, gradually getting to know each other, and perhaps her life will improve as well.

Her body trembled gently, as if she were caught in the fierce battle of 500 years ago. That frail and powerless appearance unknowingly struck the softest part of Tang Sen's heart, inadvertently reminding him of more than a decade ago, when his mother curled up in bed, murmuring to herself: "I merely fell in love early and had a child, didn't I? Who have I truly harmed? Why does everyone come to scold me?"

By the way, the garment you are wearing has been around for 500 years and is already tattered, exposing you in many places. It is not appropriate for a young lady to be like this; you need to buy a new outfit. However, there are no shops around here, so it is impossible to make a purchase. Let me quickly sew something out of this bed sheet for you to wear... My sewing skills are not very good, so please don't mind it. Tang Sen took out a bed sheet, then pulled out a sewing kit, measured a few times on Sun Wukong, and with a swift motion of the scissors and flying needlework, he quickly transformed the bed sheet into a simple dress... After putting it on her, although it is not very fashionable, at least it does not make her look like a beggar.

I have a suggestion for you: all you need to do is go to Xiniu Hezhou, wait at the foot of Ling Mountain, and wait for the bride to come to you, isn't that sufficient? Why bother searching?

Tang Sen was busy while contemplating how to broach the subject and extract information from her

At that time, Tang Sen was only 6 years old. His mother thought he did not understand what she was saying, which is why she displayed such a fragile demeanor in front of him. However, she was unaware that Tang Sen, at the age of 6, was already quite perceptive. That poignant scene was deeply etched into his soul, and he would inadvertently recall it in moments of reflection

Suddenly, two lines of clear tears slid down Sun Wukong's face: "You are truly kind to me, so gentle. No one has ever treated me this well before... To eat, I had to go pick fruits from the mountains myself; to wear clothes, I had to find them myself; to cut my hair, I could only use a knife to hack at it. I don't know why, everyone shouts to beat and kill me when they see me. The Heavenly Court used the position of 'Horse Keeper' to fool me, and after being exposed, they sent heavenly soldiers to kill me. The Giant Spirit God hit me with a hammer, the Erlang God set dogs on me, Nezha smashed me with his Wind Fire Wheels, and the Supreme Old Lord burned me with the Three Flavor True Fire... I managed to defeat them with great difficulty, but then the Buddha came and pressed me under the Five Finger Mountain for a full 500 years.

I managed to defeat them with great difficulty, but then the Buddha came and pressed me under the Five Finger Mountain for a full 500 years... What exactly did I do wrong? Who did I hurt?"

Sun Wukong has indeed been deceived; notions like "marrying a person" were immediately cast aside. When women mention their appearance, they tend to place an extraordinary emphasis on it. She turned around and glanced at her long hair, which was wildly flowing like a dragon behind her, and sighed: "Alas, after 500 years without a haircut, it has grown like this, resembling the vines of the Black Mountain Old Demon. I, Old Sun, must quickly find a barber to cut this long hair off..."

Sun Wukong began to eat the noodles with great enthusiasm. Despite her petite stature, her appetite was considerable; a bowl of instant noodles was quickly consumed, leaving her still wanting more

This woman has fallen severely behind the times after being suppressed for 500 years

Although the situation before him was extremely perilous, he did not even furrow his brow, responding with an air of innocence: "Marrying someone? What marrying someone? I have never heard of such a thing!"

Such triviality is certainly insufficient; the best way to interrupt a woman's train of thought is to comment on her appearance. Without hesitation, Tang Sen shifted the topic, saying: "By the way, your hair is so long, it’s truly beautiful. How do you manage to grow such lovely long hair?"

If, during her most helpless times, someone had been willing to extend a helping hand to my mother, her life might have turned out completely differently. Tang Sen could not abandon Sun Wukong; he felt that if he gave up on her here, she would once again embark on a very sorrowful life. Thus, he extended a hand and gently stroked the top of her head, saying: "Don't cry, stand up and fight!"

Tang Sen cooked a pack of noodles for her, asking her to sit on a stone to eat, while he quietly moved behind her, taking out a rechargeable hair clipper from his bag. He gently helped her with her haircut. Tang Sen's mother was a homebody who disliked going out, even refusing to visit a barbershop for a haircut. As a result, Tang Sen often helped his mother with her hair. Consequently, he also stopped going out to get his own hair cut, opting instead to trim it himself in front of a mirror. He always kept a hair clipper in his bag, and he never expected it would come in handy now

"Ah? What does 'stand up and fight' mean?" Sun Wukong asked.

Sun Wukong exclaimed with great joy: "Great, great! I feel that you are a very good person. After living alone for 500 years, I have grown tired of it; having a companion is quite nice."

Miss Sun Wukong, what are your plans for the future? asked Tang Sen

"Yes! Yes!" Sun Wukong nodded vigorously, saliva flying everywhere.

Sun Wukong picked up the bowl of noodles and sniffed it with her nose. The aroma of the Unified Old Jar Pickled Cabbage Noodles wafted into her nostrils, and saliva instantly soaked her chest: "These noodles smell so good, much more fragrant than any noodles I've had before. Even at the Peach Banquet of the Queen Mother of the West, there weren't noodles this fragrant"

Of course, I would find a spouse, strike them dead with a single blow, then go to find the Buddha, strike him dead with a single blow as well, and then ascend to the Heavenly Court to strike down the Jade Emperor and all the heavenly soldiers with a single blow. After that, I would return to my Flower and Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave, and continue to be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven... Oh, right, I still need to get married. It's all the Buddha's fault; when I was young, I didn't have the chance to get married before he trapped me under the Five Finger Mountain. Now, in the blink of an eye, I am over five hundred years old. My goodness, I wonder if anyone would be willing to marry a woman over five hundred years old.

What a predicament! Tang Sen cursed inwardly, yet his face remained completely impassive. What a joke! From childhood to adulthood, he had been entangled with hundreds, if not thousands, of women. When facing women, his mindset was as calm as still water, allowing him to control his facial expressions with ease, having reached a state of mastery.
