Guide to raising cubs in westbound [Journey to the West]

After the group of people washed their hands, the vegetarian food was also served on the table.

"What is this?" Xiaoshi was very curious, seeing the stick-like things in the tray, he reached out and picked up one first.

Kou Yuanwai was still looking at him with a smile, but when he saw that he was about to bite, he hurriedly stopped him: "Don't."

"Isn't this something to eat?" Little Shitou stopped his mouth and showed a puzzled expression.

At the same time, Zhu Bajie also picked up one and felt that it still smelled good.

"It's for food, but you have to open it first." After speaking, Kou Yuanwai broke off the slender bamboo in his hand, showed it to Tang Seng, "Please, holy monk."

"Thank you." Tang Seng stretched out his hand to take it.

The little stone understood how to eat it, and immediately broke it up by itself.

"Wow, it smells so good~"

Before the bamboo is opened, you can already smell a faint fragrance. After opening, a fresh and sweet fragrance hits your face immediately.

Xiaoshi just started to eat, and Zhu Bajie next to him had already finished several pieces, and he kept praising them for their deliciousness.

The bamboo is filled with glutinous rice, which tastes sweet and glutinous, and there is still a lingering fragrance in the mouth after swallowing.

"This is really delicious!" The little guy's eyes lit up when he finally ate it, and he obviously liked it as much as Zhu Bajie.

Hearing that he said it was delicious, Sun Wukong stretched out his hand and opened the two in front of him for him to eat slowly.

There is not only this kind of food on the table, but also vegetarian soup, side dishes, steamed rolls, steamed buns and so on.But the little guy thought it was delicious and kept eating it.

Forget about Zhu Bajie, no matter how he eats it will not be affected, but Tang Seng is worried that the little guy will not be able to digest if he eats too much glutinous rice.

"Little Stone, you can try other things too."

He personally brought the hot soup to feed, but the little guy didn't refuse, and started to drink the soup with his hand.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Xiao Shitou felt a little full, so he could only watch Zhu Bajie continue to eat.

Zhu Bajie could really eat, the bamboos next to him were piled high, and there were still many empty plates and bowls.

The little guy had nothing to do, so he leaned over to count the bamboos he had eaten.

Zhu Bajie finished another plate of steamed rolls. Seeing that there were still a few bamboo sticks left on the table, he took two and handed one to the little guy next to him.

Little Shitou ate until his belly bulged slightly, but he took it immediately when he saw it.

"Idiot, you have more hands." Sun Wukong scolded.

While eating, Zhu Bajie said, "Give it to him to play with, and eat later when he's hungry."

"Yes, I won't eat now~"

The little guy said so, but the bamboo he got broke apart after a while.

"Oops, I accidentally opened it!"

Monkey King met his innocent expression, but only let him eat one bite, and gave the rest to the idiot.

When everyone at the table had finished eating, only Zhu Bajie continued to eat, as if to finish all the food left on the table.

At this time, the sun has not yet set, and we can continue to drive for a while after eating.So Tang Seng got up after eating and drinking, first thanked Kou Yuanwai for his hospitality, and then bid him farewell.

"Holy monk, don't rush to leave, stay for a few more days, and it won't be too late to leave after I finish consummation."

When Zhu Bajie heard Kou Yuanwai's words, he immediately looked forward to it, hoping that Master would agree.

"Thank you, benefactor, but I'm in a hurry to get scriptures, so I can't stay any longer." Tang Seng refused.

Kou Yuanwai tried to persuade him to stay, but Tang Seng couldn't refuse, so he could only look at his apprentice.

Zhu Bajie likes to eat the food here, so he was the first to agree, "Master, he already said that, let's stay for a few days."

Sun Wukong thought that he was going to Lingshan soon, and it would take a day or two. He felt that it would be okay to stay for a few days because of his kindness.

Kou Yuanwai saw that they were willing to stay for a few more days, so he took advantage of the situation and tried to persuade Tang Seng to stay, but he couldn't say anything more, so he finally agreed.

"Okay, okay." Kou Yuanwai was very happy, and personally led them to the resting room.

The environment in Kou Mansion is very good, and the vegetarian food is also delicious. Xiao Shitou eats here and has a good time, with a smile on his face all the time.

Sun Wukong was happy to see him, and he was in a good mood.As for Zhu Bajie, as long as he can eat and drink well, he is fine.

After the master and apprentice returned to the room, the Drifting Monk was packing his luggage, while Xiao Shitou was playing with Zhu Bajie.

Tang Seng stretched out his hand to take off the cassock, but his brows were unconsciously frowned.

"When His Majesty sent me out of Chang'an, I promised to return in three years. Now it's the third three years, but I haven't reached the Western Paradise yet, and I haven't obtained the scriptures. Sigh..."

"We'll be at Lingshan soon, so why should Master sigh?" Drifting comforted.

Sun Wukong also said: "Master, it's too soon, we will reach Lingshan, don't worry."

At first, he thought that it would take at least ten years to secure a mortal to go to Lingshan, but who would have thought that the journey would be much smoother than he thought, and it would not take ten years.

Tang Seng shook his head and said: "But it will take time to go back. If I delay the imperial decree, it will be my crime."

"Master, what sins have you committed in walking this journey through untold hardships? If you want to blame it, you can blame Tathagata and them."

"Wukong, don't talk nonsense."

"Originally, if I let my grandson go to learn scriptures, I can do several back and forth in a day. They have nothing to do and insist on you to go in person. Don't blame them or anyone else."

"That's it!"

Little Shitou, who had already crawled on the bed to play, heard their conversation and poked his head out to agree.

Seeing the lively posture of the little guy, Tang Seng recovered a little from his original worry, but he still shook his head and said, "Don't say such things."

"Master, don't be unhappy~"

Xiaoshi climbed down from the bed, put on his shoes and ran over to hug him, rubbing against his arms like a kitten.

Seeing that his hair was messed up, Tang Seng stretched out his hand to straighten it for him.

After the room was quiet for a while, footsteps were heard outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

When Xiao Shitou turned to ask, Drifting had already gone to open the door.

"it's me."

The second lady came outside. She learned from Kou Yuanwai that Tang Seng and the others would stay for a few more days, so she happily came to deliver fragrant tea and snacks.

"Holy Monk, please use fragrant tea." The second lady greeted him after seeing the child beside him, "Is your name Xiao Shitou? Come and have some snacks."

"Thank you benefactor~"

Xiao Shitou looked at her for a while, probably thinking that calling her "grandmother" or "sister" was inappropriate, so he imitated his master's address.

"Oh, why are you all so polite, you are indeed from the Tang Dynasty." The second lady looked at the good-looking one big and one small in front of her, talking and laughing.

Tang Seng didn't think much about it at all, and lamented that the West is a good place, where everyone is kind.

On the contrary, Sun Wukong saw the second lady laughing non-stop, vaguely guessed something, and simply hugged the little guy who was eating snacks.

"Master, I'll take the little stone out for a walk." After he finished speaking, he also took Drifting out with him.

Monkey King and the others walked on the front foot, and the second lady smiled even more happily on the back foot.

"Holy Monk, you and Xiao Shitou look good, why did you accept so many scary apprentices?"

She laughed for a long time when she said a word, but Tang Seng didn't think there was anything wrong, and he answered her question seriously, saying that his apprentices are very capable, and it is thanks to them that they can come here.

In the room, Zhu Bajie was already asleep on the bed, but was woken up by the woman's laughter.He moved his ears to hear the sound of chatting outside, but finally decided not to hear it.

When he was pretending to be asleep on the bed, Monkey King had already come to the garden with the little stone and Drifting Monk.

"Do you want to eat the big rock?" The little guy had the last piece of snack in his hand, and asked him and Drifting that they didn't eat it, so he stuffed it all into his mouth.

He wanted to play after eating, but Monkey King was afraid that he would choke, so he quickly picked him up.

"Eldest brother, why are you dragging us out when it's dark?"

"You didn't see that Master was going to talk to the second lady."

Seeing the smile on his face, Drifting waved his hands and said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense."

"What nonsense?" Little Stone blinked and asked.

Sun Wukong was just joking, so naturally he would not elaborate on it, pointing to the sky to show him the moon.

"Sister Chang'e and Tutu live in the moon, right?" The little guy was really distracted, looking at the moon and said.

Just as Monkey King nodded, he suddenly heard music coming from ahead, and when he looked up, he saw a young man blowing leaves.

"It's the brother who plays the drum." Xiao Shitou followed his line of sight and recognized the person he had seen on the street before.

Sun Wukong raised his hand and gave a "shh", hugged the little guy and hid behind the tree, looking lively.

After the young man blew the leaves twice, a girl suddenly ran down from the wooden building in front and met him through the bamboo gate.

The girl was obviously the daughter of the Kou family, and the young man had a relationship with her, probably because the family members disagreed, so they hid here and met secretly.

When Sun Wukong was watching with enthusiasm, the second wife came over. He hurriedly hid with Drifting with a small stone, and kindly threw a stone to remind the lovers.

"Worth, go away, someone is coming!" the Kou family's daughter hurriedly pushed him when she heard the movement.

Voss didn't want to embarrass her, so he could only turn around and quickly disappear into the night.

"Julia, why are you still up so late?" The second lady walked over and saw her, and couldn't help but look outside the bamboo door.

Julia didn't turn her head and said, "You didn't sleep either."

Their relationship didn't seem to be very good, and the second lady broke up after asking her a few words.

After they all left, Sun Wukong came out from behind the tree with the little guy in his arms, and said with a smile, "There are many things in this family."

Drifting nodded in agreement, but the little guy asked, "Big Stone, what is flirting?"

Apparently he had just heard Voss tell Julia that her stepmother had flirted with a monk, and took note of the word he didn't understand.

"Don't listen to their nonsense." Sun Wukong naturally couldn't explain to him what flirting is, so he hugged him and went back to rest.

Two days later, Kou Yuanwai invited local monks to choose a good time to set up the Consummation Dojo.

Tang Seng thought of staying at his house for a few days, so he offered to help.Kou Yuanwai naturally couldn't wish for it, repeatedly expressing that with them, the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty, he was truly consummated.

The scene at the dojo was very grand that day, attracting the people nearby to watch the excitement.

Xiao Shitou is not a monk, but it is not easy to participate in it, so he can only watch from the side.However, when he saw Master and the others chanting scriptures in circles in the middle of the dojo with serious faces, he couldn't help laughing and imitating on the spot.

The little guy got a little dizzy after walking around a few times, and accidentally bumped into the people behind him.

Voss was staring at the girl standing next to Mr. Kou, and felt the strength in his legs before he lowered his head. Seeing a cute-looking child who was about to fall, he quickly reached out to help him.

"Thank you~" Xiao Shitou recognized him after thanking him, "It's you, brother!"

"You know me?" Voss recognized him as the child who was following the Tang monks, but he didn't expect that the other party knew him too.

Little Shitou said: "I saw you went to find your sister that night..."

Before he finished speaking, Voss quickly knelt down and covered his mouth.

The little guy blinked twice, took his hand and asked in a low voice, "Can't you say this?"

"Yes." Voss saw that the little guy in front of him was quite clever, and told him not to tell others after nodding.

"Okay, I won't tell."

Seeing that he was so well-behaved, Voss touched him and gave him a small drum that could be hung on his waist.

"Thank you brother~" Xiao Shitou was very happy to receive the new toy, and reciprocated the gift by taking out a snack from his purse and giving it to him in return.

Voss looked at the snack handed over by that tender little hand, and felt for the first time that children can be so cute, and he couldn't help looking forward to it.

If I and Julia...

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Xiao Shitou tilted his head when he saw that he didn't take snacks and didn't speak.

"I won't eat it," Voss said after refusing his snack. "Can you do me a favor?"

Xiao Shitou agreed, and saw him get out of the crowd, and came back with a bouquet of flowers after a while.

"Please give it to Julia for me." Voss handed him the flower, but he didn't dare to stay here.

The little guy waited patiently with flowers in his hands, and trotted up to Julia at the end of the dojo.

"Sister, I'll give you flowers~"

Julia was a little surprised, but bent over to take it, and thanked him for sending her flowers by patting his head.

Xiao Shitou was clever, he stretched out his hand to signal her to bow her head, and whispered in her ear, "I didn't send it to you, it was my brother who asked me to give you the flowers."

Julia guessed something, and raised her hand to cover her mouth in surprise.

The Second Madam's attention was on Tang Seng, but she didn't pay attention to her, and the others didn't care about the little guy sending flowers.

But Sun Wukong picked him up and asked him when he ran back to him. Naturally, Little Stone would not hide it from him, and whispered on his shoulder.

Sun Wukong didn't feel much after hearing it, but felt that they were considered male and female, and it was a bit strange that his family would disagree.

After dinner that night, the little one who got the new toy kept playing drums in the room.

He not only beat the drums by himself, but also pulled Monkey King to dance beside him.

Sun Wukong naturally quit, and pulled Zhu Bajie over to make him dance.Zhu Bajie is very relaxed, and he really imitated the exotic girl who danced on the street before twisting.

"Hahahaha..." Xiao Shitou was amused by his dancing appearance, and continued to beat the drum more rhythmically while laughing.

The closer he was to Lingshan, the easier it was for Tang Seng to think about going back. Thinking that he had lost so much time, he couldn't even read the scriptures for a while.

After sitting and watching the little guy playing with them for a while, he simply got up and went out, wanting to relax in the garden.

Little Shitou noticed that he was going out, so he couldn't help but stop beating the drum and raised his head: "Does Master think I'm noisy?"

"No, he's probably just anxious to get the scriptures back to Tang."

Although Sun Wukong said so, the little guy still calmed down and didn't continue to play drums.Seeing that he stopped playing, Zhu Bajie just went back to bed and lay down.

Xiao Shitou hugged the drum and stared at the door for a while, seeing that the master hadn't come back, he couldn't help getting up and pulling Monkey King out by the corner of his clothes.

"Let's call Master to come back to sleep~"

It was rare that he offered to sleep, and Monkey King took his hand to accompany him out.

in the garden.

Tang Seng looked up at the moon in the sky, but the scene of the day he left Datang appeared in his mind.

Recalling the phrase His Majesty said before he left, "I would rather love a pinch of soil in my hometown than ten thousand taels of gold in another country", he couldn't help sighing.

"Holy Monk."

The second lady came over at some point, stood by and watched him for a while, then approached with a smile.

Seeing her, Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said, "Female benefactor."

"Holy Monk, why are you so preoccupied? But is there any place in the house that doesn't entertain well?"

"No." Tang Seng was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he waved his hands and explained, "It was too much time spent on the way, and the poor monk was a little anxious, worried that His Majesty would blame him after returning."

The second lady quickly comforted her, "It's not easy for you to walk such a long distance, so why should you blame me?"

"The poor monk promised His Majesty for three years, but the delay is too long now. We have to continue on our way tomorrow, so that we can return to court soon." Tang Seng was about to leave, but thinking that she was also the host, he simply told her in advance.

The smile on the second lady's face disappeared instantly when she heard the words, and the next second she stepped forward directly to pull him.

"No, you can't go, I won't let you go!"

Tang Seng was startled by her action, stepped back a few steps and raised his hand to remind: "Female benefactor."

The second lady restrained herself a little, but she was still unwilling to let him go, and even moved closer to him carefully.

"Female benefactor, please respect yourself." Tang Seng backed away again.

At the same time, Sun Wukong had already led the little guy over, and when he saw this scene, he immediately flashed to the place where Tang Seng was standing.

The second lady raised her head affectionately, but she met a furious face, she was so frightened that she hid aside, faster than Tang Seng's movement to hide her just now.

She was frightened, and she didn't know what to do. Tang Seng smiled reassuringly when he saw his apprentice approaching.

"Master, it's so dark and you're still playing outside, go back to bed soon~"

When Sun Wukong frightened the second wife to the ground, Xiao Shitou took Tang Seng's hand and pulled him away.

On the way back to the room, Monkey King said that if the second wife was not a mortal, he would take out the golden cudgel and give her a hit.

"Did she bully Master?" Little Shitou raised his head and asked.

Sun Wukong said casually: "That's not true."

"Don't talk nonsense, Wukong, let's leave as soon as possible tomorrow. Kou Shizhu is a good person, so don't cause trouble in his house."

The little guy tilted his head to think when he heard their conversation.

When he returned to his room and lay down on the bed, he couldn't help leaning into Sun Wukong's ear and asking, "Big Stone, does that female benefactor also want to marry Master?"

"Why don't you ask Master."

"Master doesn't like getting married, he will be angry if you ask."

"You are smarter than that idiot." Sun Wukong said, "But the second wife married Kou Yuanwai earlier, but she can no longer marry the master."

"Can a person only get married once?"

"How many more times do you want to get married?" Sun Wukong was amused by him.

"If she can't get married, why doesn't she want Master to go?"

"Who made Master lovable..."

Tang Seng didn't hear what they were talking about, but seeing that they were still awake, he couldn't help reminding: "Wukong, little Shitou, it's time to rest."

"Good~"

Xiao Shitou responded, and sure enough, he stopped talking.

The next day.

After breakfast Kou Yuanwai invited Tang Seng to visit the garden, one asked to resign, but the other kept trying to persuade him to stay.

When they were talking, Brother Sun Wukong was playing with a small stone.

Zhu Bajie is smug, and he has a bright red flower in his ear.

"Second Senior Brother is so pretty~" Xiao Shitou finished his compliment, and then put flowers on his head.

Seeing that he was going to wear flowers, Monkey King picked a few flowers to help him fill his head.

"Am I good-looking?" the little guy asked with a red flower on his head.

Sun Wukong smiled and boasted: "It looks good, it looks good!"

The little guy originally wanted to wear a few flowers for him, but Monkey King didn't cooperate and jumped directly to the rockery next to him.

Seeing this, Little Stone could only raise his hand to put a flower on the Drifting Monk, and then patted the snare drum on his waist to make Zhu Bajie dance.

Zhu Bajie was very cooperative, and really twisted to the rhythm of the drums. Even though he was fat, he danced quite decently.

Sun Wukong sat on the rockery and admired it, amused by his dancing posture, kept picking flowers and smashing them down.

They had a good time here, but Tang Seng still tried hard to refuse, saying: "It has been delayed for a long time, and the poor monk is eager to learn scriptures, so I really can't stay any longer."

"My wife said that 'the public cultivates public morality, and the woman cultivates the virtue of the poor', so I would like to invite you to stay for a while, which can be regarded as a full of her merits and virtues."

Kou Yuan finished speaking, and the second lady came from the side and persuaded: "Holy Monk, you agree, and stay for a while."

"Thank you for the kindness of the benefactor, but the poor monk really can't stay any longer."

He was eager to learn from the scriptures, and after going through what happened last night, how could he stay.

Seeing that he insisted on leaving, the second lady could only ask Kou Yuanwai to ask him to stay.

Zhu Bajie likes to enjoy himself, he likes to live a life of good food and drink. Hearing the commotion here, he couldn't help chiming in: "Master, since he is sincerely staying, why are you so eager to leave!"

Tang Seng was already a little impatient when he was left behind, and he couldn't help but get angry when he heard his apprentice's words: "You bastard, if you want to keep it for yourself, I must leave tomorrow!"

He even learned to scold Sun Wukong's phrase "tamping goods", which shows that he is really angry.

"Second Senior Brother, why did you make Master angry again? If Master wants to leave, let's go~"

Little Stone took Zhu Bajie's hand and said to him.

Zhu Bajie hung his head and said, "Let's go, I didn't say no..."

Not far away, Kou Yuanwai saw that Tang Seng was angry with his apprentice, and he didn't dare to hold him any longer, so he let go and said, "Holy monk, don't worry, I will send you off tomorrow."

"Thank you for the benefactor." Tang Seng felt relieved and thanked him with his palms together.

He got what he wanted, but the second wife became angry, said a few ugly words and left.

Kou Yuanwai didn't expect her to react so strongly, and after showing an apologetic expression, he hurried to catch up.

Tang Seng has a good temper so naturally he doesn't care about it, but Xiaoshi quickly ran over to hug him, looked at the second lady's back and said, "Hmph! Master just won't stay!"
