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

"Ugh……"

It was late that day, and a sigh suddenly sounded from the dinner table.

"what happened?"

Since he came to Datang, the little guy was happy every day, but it was too late for Monkey King to hear him sigh suddenly, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Not only him, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie and Drifting turned their heads to look at the same time.Under their sight, Xiaoshi pushed away the bowl in his hand, and slowly lay down on the table.

"Are you tired or someone bullied you?" Sun Wukong thought that he went to those adults' houses again today, although he felt that it was impossible for anyone to dare to bully him, he still asked one more question.

"No one bullies me." Xiao Shitou sighed again after finishing speaking, "Oh..."

"Why do you always sigh at such a young age?" Tang Seng stretched out his hand to touch his head and asked.

Before the little guy answered, Zhu Bajie picked up the bowl first and said, "Are you lazy and don't want to eat by yourself? Come, let me feed you."

When he used a spoon to feed it with meat and rice in one mouthful, the little guy raised his head and ate it in cooperation, but he lay down on the table again before he could swallow it completely.

Seeing that his food was no longer delicious, Tang Seng and his disciples looked at each other and became really worried.

Under their concern, Xiao Shitou finally expressed his thoughts: "Master, when shall we leave here?"

"It's strange that you are willing to leave!" Zhu Bajie said while feeding him another mouthful of rice.

In fact, it is not suitable for them to stay in the human world for a long time after they have achieved true results. It is only thinking that Xiao Shitou accompanied them to go through untold hardships to learn scriptures at a young age. It is rare that he has a place he likes, so he has lived with him until now.

"Little Shitou wants to leave, we can leave immediately." Tang Seng said.

"Then let's go!"

Sun Wukong thought that he was still having fun in Chang'an City a few days ago, so he couldn't help asking, "Why do you want to leave all of a sudden?"

"I don't want to practice calligraphy, play chess, and learn a lot from them..."

Xiao Shitou just thought it was fun when he came into contact with these things at first, but Taizong and the court ministers felt that he could not waste such a good talent because he learned everything quickly, so they rushed to teach him.

For the scholars of Datang, if there are so many powerful teachers, they may wake up laughing from their dreams.However, the little guy doesn't have to take the imperial examination, and he is surrounded by a bunch of teachers to teach him. After the initial novelty wears off, he starts to get tired of studying.

Tang Seng and his disciples also didn't expect that this was the reason that scared him away, so they couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

In fact, it would not be good for them to stay in Datang to influence them. Even if the little guy didn't bring it up, he should leave if he stayed for a few more days at most.Because of this, Tang Seng and the others didn't mention that they could reject Taizong's words if they didn't want to learn, but directly agreed to take him away tomorrow before dawn.

The reason for preparing to leave quietly is that one is afraid that Taizong will stay if he finds out, and the other is that he does not want to be too laborious.

Xiao Shitou thought that he would not have to study again tomorrow, so he finally cheered up, sat up straight and continued to eat the rice that Zhu Bajie fed him.

After eating half a bowl of rice, he suddenly remembered, raised his head and said, "Then where are we going after we leave?"

"Go to Huaguo Mountain." After finishing speaking, Sun Wukong looked at the other people sitting and invited, "Master, my Huaguo Mountain is a blessed place, you should go and see it together."

Tang Seng and the others naturally would not refuse, and nodded in response.

After dinner, Xiao Shitou played with the toy for a while and suddenly lay down on the couch, as if he was in a daze.

Obviously, he proposed to leave because he didn't want to study, but he was somewhat reluctant to leave tomorrow.

"Big stone, shall we go quietly tomorrow?"

"of course."

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he was a little inexplicable for a moment when he saw his head that had just been raised and fell down instantly.But Tang Seng guessed something, walked over and rubbed the little guy's head and said, "Why don't you leave them a farewell letter."

Little Shitou hadn't written a letter yet, and when he heard the words, he immediately became interested, and quickly got up from the couch and threw himself into Tang Seng's arms: "Master, how do you write a letter?"

"Just write down what you want to say, and say goodbye."

The little guy nodded, quickly put on his shoes and came to the desk to write a letter.However, the first letter he held the pen was not to Taizong and the others, but to Monkey King.

"Look, big stone, I wrote you a letter!"

"What can't be said face to face and you have to write a letter?" Zhu Bajie walked over with a smile, wanting to see what he wrote in the letter.

In fact, there was nothing written in the letter, just "tomorrow I will go to Huaguo Mountain with Dashitou".

Zhu Bajie couldn't say what Zhu Bajie said in person, but he thought that the elder brother would believe him or not, but he insisted that the little guy write one for him.

Xiao Shitou has been tired of studying with Taizong and the others these days, but his handwriting is really good, and the flowing momentum when he swipes his pen is even more learned.

After he wrote a short message to Tang Seng and the others in a playful manner, he began to write the farewell letter.The little guy wrote whatever he thought of, first he said that he was going back to Huaguo Mountain so he would not study with them, then he wrote some trivial things, and then he said goodbye and said that he would come to play with them when he was free.

"Has Little Stone finished writing yet?"

Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Seng, who had read the scriptures, couldn't help but raise his head and ask.

"It's finished! I'm drawing." Xiao Shitou replied without raising his head.

What he painted were portraits of himself and Sun Wukong. After finishing the painting, he put it away with the letter before he was done.

Tang Seng got up to accompany him to pack the letter in an envelope, and left a message on the envelope for him, so that the monks in the temple would not know who to give the letter to after they left.

Probably because he was used to not staying in one place for too long on Xitian Road, so Xiao Shitou let go of his reluctance after writing the letter, and instead lay down on the bed and asked about Huaguo Mountain.

Monkey King coaxed him to fall asleep after talking to him a few words, saying that he would know what kind of place it was when he went to Huaguo Mountain tomorrow.

I don't know if he was aroused by Huaguo Mountain, but at dawn the next day, Xiao Shitou woke up without being called, and even crawled to Zhu Bajie to call him.

"Why did you get up so early today?" Zhu Bajie opened his eyes and saw him, subconsciously hugged him into his arms.

"We are going to Huaguo Mountain today, second senior brother, get up quickly!"

Under the energetic tone of the little guy, Zhu Bajie naturally couldn't stay on the bed anymore.

They are also experienced in not disturbing people to leave. After packing up their things, they will fly into the air without making a sound.

Even though he has not returned for 500 years, Monkey King still will not forget the way home.It's just that as he got closer to Huaguo Mountain, it was rare for him to feel a bit of nostalgia and timidity in his heart.

Tang Seng probably understood his mood, and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

Sun Wukong is not a sentimental character, and the little emotions are scattered by him.

"That's Huaguo Mountain. My old grandson jumped out of the rock on the top of the mountain."

Huaguo Mountain is located in the sea. Looking down from the clouds, the green mountain looks like a pearl on the vast ocean.

"It's so beautiful~" Little Shitou looked down at the mountain below, thinking that this is the place where Dashitou was born, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

A smile appeared on Sun Wukong's lips, and he pressed the cloud head down to the mountain.

Although he hasn't come back since he was crushed on the Five Elements Mountain, when he reunited with his sworn brother Bull Demon King on the way to learn scriptures, he asked him to help take care of Huaguo Mountain.

After the Bull Demon King agreed, he really went there for him. The old monkey on Huaguo Mountain still remembered the king's sworn brother, and learned from him that the king would come back after learning the scriptures, and he was very much looking forward to it.

The group of monkeys who lost their king was quite easy to be bullied. Fortunately, the Bull Demon King came to help, which allowed the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain to live a carefree life again.

They cleaned the Water Curtain Cave carefully every day and waited for the return of the king, and today they finally waited.

"Grandpa Great Sage!"

"Grandpa Dasheng is home!"

A group of lively and active monkeys were the first to discover them and ran down from the trees and stones excitedly.

"Wow~"

Little Stone cried out in surprise when he saw so many monkeys surrounding him.

"Okay, my grandson is back." Sun Wukong waved his hand to appease him when he saw the monkeys and monkey grandchildren rushing to squeeze in front of him.

Only then did the monkeys restrain themselves, but they were still jumping up and down in joy, shouting things like "Great", "Grandpa Dasheng is back".

"Who is in charge of the cave now?" Sun Wukong asked after they calmed down a little.

The little monkeys rushed to tell him, "It's Marshal Maliu and General Bengba."

Just as he was talking, Marshal Ma Liu and General Beng Ba had already received the news and rushed over, and they said excitedly, "Great Sage, you are finally back!"

"Master and junior brother and I have finished learning scriptures, and we have achieved positive results." After speaking, Sun Wukong raised his finger and pointed to the master and junior brother to introduce him, and told them that the little guy in his arms was called Xiao Shitou, and he also jumped out of the rock.

After the monkeys shouted "Grandpa" to Tang Seng and the others, they looked at the little guy curiously, as if wondering why he wasn't a monkey since he also jumped out of the rock.

Little Shitou couldn't wait to get down from Monkey King's arms, and went to the monkey group to look here and touch there.

Because he was brought back by Monkey King, the monkeys were very friendly. The big monkey let him touch him, but the little monkey couldn't help but touch his hands and face in turn, feeling that he was soft.

"Great Sage, the little ones are looking forward to your return every day. The Water Curtain Cave has been cleaned up countless times. You and your master have worked hard all the way, so let's go in and rest first." Marshal Ma Liuer said.

"Alright." Monkey King nodded and said to Master and the others, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my Water Curtain Cave."

The scenery of Huaguo Mountain is very beautiful. Not only are there many fruit trees on the mountain, but it is also covered with rare grasses and exotic flowers. It is indeed a blessed place.

On the way to Shuilian Cave, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but enviously said: "Brother Hou, you have a comfortable life. There is such a nice place, and there are a group of monkeys and grandchildren."

Sun Wukong heard his words, and saw the little guy next to him who had already played with the monkey group, with a happy smile on his face.

Walking along the mountain stream, there is a waterfall in front of it, and the waterfall flying straight down is like a water curtain.

"The Water Curtain Cave is just behind the waterfall." Sun Wukong couldn't help remembering that he was just an ordinary stone monkey back then, and became the Monkey King because he was the first to jump into the Water Curtain Cave.

After he finished speaking, he was going to go in with the little stone in his arms, but the little guy was so bold that he couldn't wait to jump in by himself.

There is a unique cave in Shuilian Cave, where there are stone seats, stone beds, stone basins, stone bowls and all kinds of utensils, and there are even a few plum trees, green bamboos and green pine trees.

After Monkey King chased the little guy in, Zhu Bajie and a group of monkeys also entered the cave one after another.

The Water Curtain Cave was originally the shelter for the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, and it can accommodate thousands of people, young and old.

"It's fun here~"

The little stone turned around in the hole, quickly climbed to the throne and sat down, kicking his dangling legs happily.

When Sun Wukong saw him, he would choose a place to sit. Master Anton and the others found a place to sit and came over.

"Big stone, I'll let you sit." The little guy patted the seat he had vacated and said.

Sun Wukong flicked his forehead and said: "This is my throne, let you let it go."

"Grandfather, please use it."

When they sat down, a little monkey brought up freshly picked peaches and exotic fruits.

Zhu Bajie directly hugged a fruit plate in his arms, eating longan with sweet meat and thin skin, and sweet cherries, he couldn't help boasting: "Brother Monkey, your Huaguo Mountain is really good!"

But Xiaoshi first held an extra-large peach in his hand, and his eyes lit up as soon as he took a bite.

"Aren't the peaches in Huaguo Mountain more delicious than other places?" Sun Wukong looked at his expression and asked.

"Correct!"

Seeing him burying his head in the peaches, Sun Wukong couldn't help picking up one and eating it, thinking that his own peaches were still delicious.

The king’s return is a great joy for the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain. Some of them continued to surround the Shuilian Cave to tell the king what happened during his absence, and some of them went out to continue picking fairy peaches and yams. Banquets clean up the dust for the king.

After the monkeys and monkey grandchildren finished talking about what happened at home, they were curious about what happened when the king learned scriptures, so they couldn't help asking each other one sentence at a time.

"Then I have to start when I was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain by the Buddha..."

Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk were both taken in as apprentices by Tang Seng after him. I really don't know what happened when he was taken in, so I couldn't help listening to it.

After Sun Wukong said that he had been crushed under the mountain for 500 years, the Bodhisattva came to him and said that someone could save him, and then he mentioned the little stone.

The little guy is no ordinary kid, he started remembering things the moment he jumped out of the rock, but his world was chaotic before he jumped out.

"Fortunately, I didn't hit a big rock when I fell!"

Hearing his words, Sun Wukong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you hit it, anyway, it will not be my old grandson's head that has something to do, at most, I will smash you out in advance."

"I can't bear to hit a big rock." The little guy threw himself into his arms after speaking.

Sun Wukong hugged him with one arm, and suddenly smiled and shared with Tang Seng and the others: "I don't think I have told you before, don't look at Xiao Shitou who can speak now, but when he was just born, he couldn't say anything. What can I say?" What did he learn..."

"He spoke quite fluently when I came here." Tang Seng smiled when he thought of the scene at that time.

"He's a quick learner. He was actually just born when you came, Master."

They sat in Shuilian Cave, eating fruit and chatting, the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful.

When the monkeys and grandchildren heard about the place where the monsters were being fought, they were so excited that they even jumped up on the spot.

It wasn't until noon, when the banquet was ready, that they stopped talking and prepared to eat.

The food at Huaguoshan may not have as many varieties as the Tang Dynasty's imperial meal, but it is better than the ingredients and the original taste.

The cooked yam, the soup made of Poria cocos and coix coix in a stone pot over low heat, and various mountain delicacies, all of which taste different.

Tang Seng didn't drink alcohol, Sun Wukong was happy today, but he asked the children to bring some vegetarian wine to the table, and drank it with his two juniors and Marshal Ma Liu.

"Brother Monkey, your place is really nice, I offer you a toast."

"Then stay longer, my old grandson will have enough to eat and drink."

"Great Sage, we will have a good life when you come back..."

When they were drinking and chatting, Xiao Shitou glanced at the flagons of the monkeys at the next table while eating.

The monkeys drank fruit wine, and the fruity aroma was very attractive.Since he was drunk before, Sun Wukong and the others didn't let him touch alcohol again, so the little guy hid his little thoughts and waited patiently.

He finished the soup in the bowl first, then put down the bowl and took an empty cup to play at the table.

Seeing his movements, Tang Seng turned his head and said, "Little Shishi is full?"

"Yeah." The little guy nodded, lying on the chair he was sitting on just now, spinning the cup to play.

Tang Seng looked at him for a while, then looked away, and continued to eat while listening to a few apprentices chatting.

After Xiaoshi made sure that no one at this table was paying attention to him, he quietly slipped to the next table.

The monkeys at the next table saw him coming and offered a seat for him, only to find that he didn't care about taking the jug.

So, a certain little guy who sneaked around for a while finally managed to pour himself a glass of wine, bowed his head and drank with crooked eyebrows.

The fruit wine was much tastier than the water wine he had tasted before, causing the little guy who just wanted to take a sip to finish a glass of wine unconsciously.

When he was trying to pour a second glass of wine, Tang Seng found that he was not in place, and when he looked up, he found that he was holding a flagon in one hand and a glass in the other.

"Little Shitou, why are you running over there?"

When he finished speaking, Sun Wukong and the others looked over subconsciously, and saw the little guy turning his head innocently while holding the cup.

"Is he drinking?" Zhu Bajie asked subconsciously when he saw his reddish face.

Sun Wukong had already got up and went to pick him up, asked the monkey on the table and found out that he had finished his drink, and felt a bit of a headache.

"This fruit wine has a lot of stamina, who told you to drink it?"

Xiao Shitou leaned against his arms but started to giggle, holding up his glass and saying, "The wine is so delicious~"

"Are you already drunk?" Tang Seng asked helplessly.

Zhu Bajie: "As far as he can get drunk with a glass of water and wine, it's strange that he won't get drunk."

Xiao Shitou was indeed drunk, and at first he raised his glass and made a fuss about drinking.Tang Seng and the others dared to give him a drink, so they could only get some honey water and pour it into a cup to coax him.

After drinking two cups of honey water, the little guy whose face was still flushed clamored to show him how Monkey King turned into a tiger.

Sun Wukong carried him to the stone bed and coaxed him: "Go to sleep first, and I will show you the transformation when you wake up."

As soon as the little guy was put on the bed by him, he suddenly jumped up and said: "Is there no tiger here? There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings!"

Probably because he had learned a lot of messy things in Datang before, he suddenly said this sentence in front of Monkey King, which was a bit annoying.

Sun Wukong showed disbelief, stared at him and said, "Do you want to beg for a fight, or how did you get the tiger skin skirt you forgot to wear?"

"Master, the big stone is going to hit me!" The drunk little guy couldn't grasp the point at all, and immediately jumped off the bed when he heard the word "hit".

Tang Seng originally wanted to reach out to hug him, but he called Master, but he didn't stop at all, and ran happily in the cave non-stop.

"Little Stone, how dare you say hahaha, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings? Hahahaha..."

It was rare for Zhu Bajie to see the elder brother being deflated, and couldn't stop laughing.

"Idiot, can't you get beaten?" Sun Wukong was reluctant to teach the little guy a lesson, but he would not be soft on him, so he reached out and grabbed his ear.

"Oh." Zhu Bajie covered his ears and said, "It's not what I said, why did you hit me!"

On the other side, the little stone had already run half a circle around the Shuilian Cave. Seeing that Tang Seng couldn't stop him, the monkeys all helped him to stop.

The little guy saw so many monkeys surrounding him, but he laughed foolishly: "A lot of big rocks..."

However, when a monkey really approached and tried to grab him, the little stone struggled and ran away in an instant, shouting: "You are not a big stone, don't try to catch me!"

"Eldest brother, it's better for you to stop the little stone." Drifting reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Monkey King appeared in front of the little guy. The little guy tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then opened his hands and said, "Hug~"

Sun Wukong originally wanted to knock him twice, who told him to say "the monkey is called the king" just now, but he was still reluctant to do it in the end when he saw the little expression of dependence in his smirk.

After that, Xiaoshi still refused to lie down on the bed to sleep, but he was quite obedient nestling in his arms, and he didn't mess around anymore.Seeing this, Monkey King simply sat down with his arms around him.

The little guy refused to sleep on the bed, but fell asleep unknowingly while leaning against his arms. His rosy face made him look even more cute, and he couldn't see that a group of monkeys were running around all over the hole just now and couldn't catch him. Noisy.

"I'm so greedy, I can't drink and I always want to drink secretly." Zhu Bajie looked at the sleeping little guy, and reached out to gently pinch his little face.

Sun Wukong opened his hand and said: "You still have the nerve to talk about him."

"If you want me to say, Xiao Shitou's greedy mouth is probably infected by you, second senior brother." Drifting said with a smile.

Monkey King nodded in agreement: "That's right, Little Shitou wasn't so greedy before I met you."

"It's none of my business..." Zhu Bajie said unconvinced.

"If you don't believe me, ask the master."

Tang Seng really couldn't remember whether Xiao Shitou was greedy before accepting his second apprentice, so he just laughed and said nothing.

Woke up early in the morning, and Xiao Shitou fell asleep, Sun Wukong and the others simply took a nap after lunch.

Marshal Ma Liu and the others saw that the king was going to rest, and immediately led the group of monkeys out of the water curtain cave.

Thinking of the king's return at last, the monkeys spread joy all over the mountains and plains to vent their excitement.

Monkey King lay on the stone bed with his arms around the little guy, but he couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he simply opened his eyes and looked at the cave ceiling.

He heard the faint laughter of monkeys and grandchildren coming from outside, and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.
