Damn it! Tang Sen cursed inwardly, but his face remained completely calm. What a joke, from a young age, he had been pursued by hundreds of women. When it came to women, his mindset was as clear and calm as a still pond, and he could control his facial expressions with ease, reaching a state of mastery!
Although the situation was extremely dangerous, he didn't even flinch, and with an innocent look, he said, "Marry a relative? What relative? I've never heard of it!"
Such a bluff wasn't enough, and the best way to interrupt a woman's train of thought was to comment on her appearance. Without hesitation, Tang Sen changed the subject, "By the way, your hair is so long, it's really beautiful. How did you grow such beautiful long hair?"
Sun Wukong fell for it, immediately forgetting about the "marry a relative" nonsense. When women talk about their appearance, they take it very seriously. She turned her head, glanced at her long hair that fluttered like a dragon behind her, and sighed, "Sigh, 500 years without a haircut, it's grown so long, it looks like the vines of the Black Mountain Old Demon. I need to find a barber to cut this long hair..."
A barber? What kind of term is that? Tang Sen suddenly realized that this woman had been trapped under the Five-Finger Mountain for 500 years, and 500 years ago was still the feudal era. There were no hair salons or beauty parlors back then, only itinerant barbers.
This woman, after being trapped for 500 years, was seriously out of touch with the times. Such a woman was extremely easy to fool. Tang Sen's fear of her vanished, and he even thought about getting some information from her. He waved his hand and said, "Come with me, I can help you make your hair look beautiful."
He led the long-haired Sun Wukong to where he was cooking noodles. The bowl of instant noodles was still on the ground. Tang Sen smiled at her, "Being trapped under the mountain for 500 years, you must be very hungry. This bowl of noodles is for you."
Sun Wukong picked up the bowl and sniffed it. The aroma of the Uni-President Lao Tan pickled cabbage noodles wafted into her nose, and her saliva dripped onto her chest, "This noodle is so fragrant, much more fragrant than the noodles I used to eat. Even the peaches at the Queen Mother of the West's Peach Banquet weren't this fragrant."
Tang Sen thought to himself, "The noodles you ate 500 years ago were all handmade, without any additives, that's the real good stuff. This instant noodle, full of preservatives, is just junk." Of course, he couldn't say that out loud, so he said, "Fragrant, right? Eat more, these noodles are expensive..."
Sun Wukong started to slurp the noodles. Despite her small stature, her appetite was huge. She finished the bowl of instant noodles in no time and still wanted more.
"Do you want another bowl?"
"Yes! Yes!" Sun Wukong nodded vigorously, drool flying everywhere.
Tang Sen cooked another packet of noodles for her, had her sit on a rock, and then went behind her. He took out a rechargeable hair clipper from his backpack and gently trimmed her hair. Tang Sen's mother was a homebody who didn't like going out, not even for haircuts, so Tang Sen often helped her trim her hair. Over time, he started trimming his own hair as well, and always kept a hair clipper in his backpack, which came in handy now...
His warm hands caressed the long hair of the delicate girl. As the electric hair clipper moved, the long hair was trimmed to a length that reached her back, looking neat and graceful. He scooped some water from a nearby stream, wet her hair, and then poured a little travel-sized shampoo, gently lathering it and rinsing it clean.
"By the way, the clothes you've been wearing for 500 years are all tattered and torn, showing skin everywhere. That's not appropriate for a girl. We need to get you a new set of clothes. But there's no village or town around here, so I'll make you a temporary dress from a blanket... I'm not a good tailor, so don't be picky." Tang Sen took out a blanket and a sewing kit, measured her body, and with a few cuts and stitches, quickly turned the blanket into a simple dress... He put it on her, and although it wasn't fashionable, it at least didn't make her look like a beggar.
While he was busy, Tang Sen was thinking about how to ask her for information.
Suddenly, two clear tears rolled down Sun Wukong's face, "You're so kind to me, so gentle. No one has ever been this good to me... I had to pick fruits from the mountains to eat, find clothes to wear, and cut my hair with a knife... I don't know why, but everyone who sees me wants to fight and kill me. The Heavenly Court tricked me with the position of 'Keeper of the Horses,' and when the truth came out, they sent heavenly soldiers and generals to kill me. The Giant Spirit God hit me with a hammer, the Second Wolf God set his dogs on me, Nezha hit me with his Wind Fire Wheels, and Laozi burned me with the Three Pure Fires... I barely defeated them, and then the Buddha used the Five-Finger Mountain to press me down, for 500 years... What did I do wrong? Who did I hurt?"
Her body trembled slightly, as if she was reliving that intense battle 500 years ago. Her weak and helpless appearance struck a chord in Tang Sen's heart, reminding him of a scene from over a decade ago, when his mother was huddled on the bed, muttering to herself, "I just had a child out of early love. What did I do wrong? Why does everyone curse me?"
At that time, Tang Sen was only 6 years old, and his mother thought he didn't understand what she was saying, so she showed her vulnerable side in front of him. But he was already quite mature at 6, and that sad scene was deeply etched in his soul, often coming to mind unexpectedly.
Ask this poor woman for information? What a joke! A man who would use such a woman isn't human.
If his mother had someone to help her when she was most helpless, her life might have been completely different. Tang Sen couldn't leave Sun Wukong alone. He felt that if he abandoned her here, she would end up in a tragic life again. He reached out and gently patted her head, "Don't cry, stand up and fight!"
"Huh? What does 'stand up and fight' mean?" Sun Wukong asked curiously.
"Cough, cough... It means to stay optimistic and strive forward."
Sun Wukong wiped away her tears and laughed, "Well said! I'm not a crybaby. I just couldn't hold back just now. Stay optimistic, strive forward! Ha ha!"
"Miss Sun Wukong, what are your plans for the future?" Tang Sen asked.
"Of course, I need to find the person I'm supposed to marry, beat them to death, then find the Buddha and beat him to death, then go to the Heavenly Court and beat the Jade Emperor and the heavenly soldiers to death, and then return to my Water Curtain Cave in Flower-Fruit Mountain to continue being the Great Sage Equal to Heaven... Oh, right, I also need to get married. It's all the Buddha's fault. I didn't have time to get married when I was young, and now I'm over 500 years old. Heaven, I wonder if anyone would marry a 500-year-old woman."
Tang Sen laughed, "Your plan is hard to achieve from the first step! Do you know? In 500 years, the population of the Tang Dynasty has increased by more than ten times, from 100 million to 1.4 billion. Now, the world is full of people. On the street, you can knock down a dozen men with a handful of pebbles. Finding the person you're supposed to marry among so many people is no easy task."
"Ah? Then... what should I do?" Sun Wukong was greatly alarmed.
"I have an idea. Just go to the Western Regions, wait at the foot of Mount Ling, and the person you're supposed to marry will come to you. Why go looking for them?"
"Wow, you're really smart!" Sun Wukong was overjoyed, "I'll do it that way."
Tang Sen smiled again, "I happen to be going to Mount Ling in the Western Regions. How about we travel together?"
Sun Wukong was delighted, "Sure, sure! I feel you're a good person. I'm tired of living alone for 500 years. Having a companion is nice."
Tang Sen thought to himself, "This works. I'm not going to the West to marry anyone. I just want to travel and find out the truth about the gods deceiving me. So I'm not the 'person to marry,' and I'm not deceiving this poor girl. Traveling together, getting to know her better, and guiding her might make her life better."
They extended their hands and shook them lightly, becoming companions.
Sun Wukong's hand was small and soft, and it felt very comfortable to hold, but Tang Sen had no ulterior motives. He had seen many beautiful women in his life and wasn't easily moved. Holding her delicate hand, he thought about his mother: "I wonder if she's eating on time. I need to call her and remind her to order takeout. I must give her the phone number of the fast food place downstairs, or she might starve at home."
