The sky was already getting dark, and Tang Sen planned to camp on Mount Five Fingers tonight. He took out his tent, set it up, laid down a sleeping pad, and arranged the sleeping bag. Sun Wukong watched him curiously as he bustled about. Many of the new gadgets Tang Sen took out were things she had never seen before. The 500-year gap was too long, and everything in the world had changed...
She held a rechargeable emergency light, examining it from all angles, and pointed to the bulb inside. "Is this a huge night pearl?"
Tang Sen laughed heartily. "That thing is an electric light, not valuable at all. Night pearls are much more precious. I'll teach you the principles behind it later."
Sun Wukong then jumped in front of the sleeping bag and pointed to the zipper. "What is this thing? Why are there no buttons here?"
Tang Sen demonstrated the action of pulling the zipper open and closed. "Buttons are too inconvenient. Zippers are simpler."
"I see!" Sun Wukong blinked her big eyes and opened Tang Sen's bag, taking out each item to play with. She was naturally lively and liked to ask about everything. She took out many modern gadgets to study, and whenever she didn't understand something, she would ask Tang Sen. Tang Sen patiently explained each item, spending a long time answering all of Sun Wukong's questions.
"Here's your sleeping bag. You can rest first. I'm going to read a bit more." Tang Sen smiled and took out a book on advanced mathematics, reading it by the light of the emergency lamp. Sun Wukong leaned her head on Tang Sen's shoulder, her long hair brushing against his face as she looked at the book in his hands. But... she was completely lost and couldn't understand it at all.
Advanced mathematics at the university level is very difficult, and Sun Wukong, with her 500-year-old level of education, naturally couldn't understand it. She pouted. "I find you to be a very smart person. You can cook, cut hair, sew clothes, and read such profound books. Are you a scholar?"
"Well... something like a college student, but far from a scholar."
"Scholars are truly humble. I don't see much difference between a college student and a scholar. Alright, from now on, I'll call you Master!" Sun Wukong giggled. "You have to teach me about the new world."
Tang Sen smiled and nodded. "Teaching you knowledge is no problem, but you don't have to call me Master. It's better for young men and women to call each other by their names. Calling someone Master sounds terrible."
Sun Wukong crawled into the sleeping bag and closed her eyes. After a while, in a drowsy state, she suddenly found herself back in the Heavenly Palace, surrounded by ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals. The God of Strength, the Third Prince Nezha, Erlang Shen, and the Four Heavenly Kings charged at her. She fought desperately with her golden cudgel, exhausted, and was finally locked in the alchemy furnace... Laozi, with a sinister smile, stoked the Three Pure Fires, and her flesh and skin were torn apart in the flames...
For 500 years, she still often had this dream, and it was the only dream she had. 500 years ago, she wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, fierce and mighty, but it was also the day she was pressed under Mount Five Fingers, and time seemed to stop. Her life lost all its color.
Five hundred years, the sea and the land had changed, and even the stubborn stones were covered in moss. Only one heart remained alive, yearning for freedom and ease... Sun Wukong couldn't help but shed tears.
"Ah!" Sun Wukong screamed and sat up, her sweat soaking the sleeping bag and Tang Sen's newly sewn clothes, which clung tightly to her body, revealing her youthful and slender figure.
Suddenly, a soft breathing sound came from beside her. Sun Wukong turned her head and saw Tang Sen holding the advanced mathematics book, his body slumped on the ground, already asleep... Her mood suddenly improved: Right, with this man's help, my time has started moving again! This time, I won't let it slip away... She carefully examined the man's sleeping face, which was handsome and charming, a face that could make all women in the world fall in love, but Sun Wukong felt that his kindness was even more precious than his looks.
The next morning, as the sky was just beginning to lighten, the morning breeze woke Tang Sen. He shook off the dew on his body and stood up, only to find that Sun Wukong had already gotten up and was holding a few bunches of fruit, probably picked from somewhere. Tang Sen saw that one of the watermelons had a label on it, which read "Green and Environmentally Friendly Product."
"Hey, where did you get these fruits?" Tang Sen was sweating.
"Old Sun found a town fifteen miles to the west. Outside the town, there was a giant carriage with many fruits on it, so I took some back." Sun Wukong laughed.
He guessed that the "giant carriage" she was talking about was probably a fruit vendor's truck. Tang Sen smiled bitterly. "Hey, you can't just take fruits like that. Taking without asking is stealing. In the future, don't do that. I'll be responsible for finding food."
"Hey, why should a master find food for a disciple?" Sun Wukong grumbled unhappily. "Next time, I'll pick wild fruits, okay?"
"No way!" Tang Sen laughed. "First, I can't be your master. Second, times have changed. 500 years ago, there might have been many wild fruits, but now... wild fruits are almost extinct. Your old way of life won't work anymore..."
The two of them ate the fruits for breakfast, packed up their belongings, and Tang Sen got on the "White Dragon" bicycle. Sun Wukong looked at it curiously. "What is this thing? I've never seen it before in 500 years."
Tang Sen laughed. "This is the new era's horse! Get on the back seat."
Sun Wukong jumped lightly onto the back seat. She was less than 1.3 meters tall, small and delicate. Standing on the back seat, she just had to lean forward slightly to rest her hands on Tang Sen's shoulders. Tang Sen smiled. "Hold on tight!" He pedaled with his feet, and the bicycle started moving along the road. Since it was downhill, the wheels turned quickly, and they sped off in no time.
The cool wind blew across their faces, and Sun Wukong cheered. "Wow, this is so much fun! Hahaha!"
Her silver laughter echoed along the mountain road, sliding down the hill in a moment...

On the fifth day of their journey west, they finally ran into trouble!
That evening, Tang Sen and Sun Wukong set up their tent by a small river. The water was clear, and Sun Wukong actually jumped into the water and caught a few fish. The two of them happily skewered the fish with sticks, roasted them over the campfire, and seasoned them with fragrant oil, salt, and vinegar, turning them into a top-notch meal.
Just as they were about to eat the fish, three men jumped out from the riverbank. They were all wearing flashy shirts, and one of them had a pug dog. Two of the men held knives, while the third man, who was empty-handed, seemed to be the leader. He walked up to Tang Sen and Sun Wukong and sneered. "You're a lucky kid, bringing such a pretty girlfriend to camp by the river. You'll probably be doing all sorts of things with her tonight, right? Damn, I'm so envious..."
The man looked at Sun Wukong's delicate figure, drooling, and finally收回目光道: "No need for more talk. Hand over all your money. Cooperate, and I'll just rob you for money. Otherwise, I'll take your woman too."
The pug dog even chimed in. "Woof woof!"
Tang Sen couldn't help but laugh bitterly. What bad luck, running into robbers, and these robbers even brought a pug dog. It was ridiculous.
Sun Wukong leaned close to him and asked curiously, "What are these people doing?"
Tang Sen shrugged. "They seem to be bandits."
"What? Bandits?" Sun Wukong was surprised. "Such a backward profession, and it's still around after 500 years?"
"Can't help it. Although technology has advanced a lot in 500 years, human nature hasn't changed much." Tang Sen smiled bitterly. "I estimate this profession will still exist for a few hundred more years."
"Hey, you two kids, I'm robbing you, and you're still whispering sweet nothings?" The bandit leader was getting annoyed. "Hand over the money quickly, or you'll regret it."
Sun Wukong reached into her ear and pulled out a huge staff, which she twirled in her hands. "I haven't fought anyone in 500 years. These bandits will be good for a warm-up."
Tang Sen frowned, thinking: I don't know how strong Sun Wukong is, but I saw her shatter Mount Five Fingers with my own eyes. If she fights, these bandits will be no match for her. But... I'm a man, and having a woman protect me from bandits is embarrassing. How can I call myself a man?
Tang Sen pulled Sun Wukong behind him and said seriously, "Leave this to me!"
"Ah? You're a scholar, how can you fight bandits? It would be beneath you. Let me handle it." Sun Wukong tried to push forward with her staff.
Tang Sen said sternly, "It's most embarrassing for a woman to wield a big staff. In the new era, women can be associated with anything except a big staff! Give me your staff, and I'll take care of them." He reached out to grab Sun Wukong's staff...
He didn't know how heavy it was until he tried to lift it, and it didn't budge at all.
"Huh? Your staff is so heavy."
Sun Wukong shrugged. "This is called the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a divine iron used by Yu the Great to control the sea. It weighs 13,500 pounds."
"Damn? That heavy? Do you have any lighter weapons?" Tang Sen was sweating.
