Not long after, Xiao Shan came back with a large bag of things. When he passed by Qin Yao, he gently placed a bag of vegetables on the ground and asked softly: "Um... how do you make radish soup?"

Qin Yao smiled and said: "Peel the white radish, cut into thin strips and set aside; heat oil in a pan, add onion, ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant; add shredded radish and continue to stir-fry over high heat until raw..."

"Speak slower, speak slower." Xiao Shan said quickly: "It's too fast for me to remember."

Qin Yao looked very patient and repeated the procedure at a slower pace.

"What about other things? What staple food should I eat?" Xiaoshan asked again after a while.

"Just watch and prepare for the rest." Qin Yao responded casually.

"Okay." Xiao Shan also had a good temper and responded crisply, carrying the bag of vegetables and heading to the kitchen.

"No, what if she is poisoned?" When she disappeared from sight, Zhu Bajie approached Qin Yao and asked in a low voice.

Qin Yao looked at him with a strange look and asked: "We are the only ones...do you think we can kill you with poison?"

joke.

If the Westbound team could be eliminated with poison, Tang Monk and his disciples would not be able to reach the Great Leiyin Temple.

Zhu Bajie: "..."

Half an hour later.

Xiaoshan cooked a large table of dishes, and everyone sat around in the pavilion in the courtyard and ate happily.

"It's been many years. I haven't eaten such delicious food for many years." Beside Xiaoshan, Zhu Bajie ate enthusiastically, with tears in his eyes.

Xiaoshan: "..."

Although it may be really delicious, is your performance too exaggerated?

correct.

The Imperial Master said that this guy seems to be a sick pig...

That's not surprising.

"Xiaoshan, can you cook it for me every day from now on?" Zhu Bajie said sincerely.

Xiaoshan chuckled, his face full of innocence: "I can cook it for you every day from now on."

"Thank you, Xiaoshan." Zhu Bajie smiled with a smile on his face.

"Eat, eat quickly, eat more." Sun Wukong couldn't bear his greasy attitude, so he picked up a steamed bun and forced it into his mouth.

The world suddenly became a lot cleaner...

After breakfast, Xuanzang formally said goodbye to the managers of the imperial village, asked them to help inform the imperial advisor and the king about their departure, and then set out on his westward journey.

With horses' hooves in formation and wheels leaving traces, the people heading west walked through mountains and rivers, stepped on grasslands, and crossed lakes. Day after day, they continued to move westward.

Along the way, Xiaoshan liked to stay close to Xuanzang no matter what happened, and constantly took the initiative to talk to Xuanzang, trying to bring the relationship closer between the two.

Unexpectedly, Xuanzang acted like a piece of wood, and Xiaoshan vaguely noticed that there might be someone living in his heart.

At the same time, Zhu Bajie is also trying to get closer to Xiaoshan. He is obviously a pig, but he shows the characteristics of a dog-licker.

At this time, he no longer talked about killing all the women in the world who admired beautiful men. It was as if the trauma caused by his ex-wife had been cured by this beautiful woman from heaven.

It's just that Xiao Shan's heart was attached to Xuanzang and he always dealt with him perfunctorily.

Half a month later.

Everyone came to a small town full of red maple leaves. When Xiaoshan was looking at the beautiful scenery of the town, Xuanzang, who was holding the white horse, suddenly said: "Isn't this far away from the Bhikkhu Kingdom?"

Xiao Shan suddenly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Yes, we have already left the Bhikkhu realm."

"Then let's separate here." Xuanzang said.

"Ah?" Xiao Shan was dumbfounded, with a face full of fear: "Did I do something wrong? I will change it, I will definitely change it."

"It's not that what you did was wrong, nor that you didn't do it well." Xuanzang explained, "It's just that there shouldn't be women in our team."

If he could take care of women, why would he let go of Miss Duan in the first place?

Xiaoshan knelt down in front of him and kowtowed repeatedly: "You don't have to treat me as a woman. If I am helpless, I may not be able to survive."

"Why?" Qin Yao suddenly said.

Xiaoshan: "The king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom said..."

"You just said that this is no longer the realm of monks." Qin Yao said calmly.

Xiaoshan: "I am a weak woman, penniless..."

Qin Yao took out three gold bricks from his arms and handed them to the other party: "Are these three gold bricks enough?"

Xiaoshan waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't have the strength to own these three pieces of gold. Once the money is exposed, I may be killed."

Qin Yao then took out another bag of broken silver and said with a smile: "Where is the silver?"

Xiaoshan: "..."

After a while, she could only kowtow to Xuanzang: "Master, please, I beg you, don't abandon me. I have been abandoned once, and I don't want to be abandoned a second time."

Looking at the panicked girl, Xuanzang sighed slightly.

At this moment, he already believed in the empty prediction.

How could a person who is willing to risk his life for freedom abandon his freedom and confine himself to a team?

This is self-contradictory, not to mention that emptiness is even proposed for achieving financial freedom.

So, this girl was really sent by the Imperial Master to drive a wedge between them.

"Xiaoshan, you don't belong to our team, so we don't want to abandon you, understand?" Xuanzang took a long breath and said solemnly: "You were born for freedom, so you should pursue your freedom.

"

Xiao Shan was silent for a moment, then kowtowed and said, "My little girl has one more request. I hope the Master can grant it."

"What request?" Xuanzang asked.

"Please, please send me home." Xiao Shan prayed.

Xuanzang subconsciously raised his head and looked into the void. Seeing the other person nodding slightly towards him, he asked Xiaoshan: "Get up, where is your home?"

"My home is in Xiaohe Village."

Xiaoshan stood up slowly, with a red mark on the top of his forehead, which made his whole temperament look pitiful to me.

"Bhikkhu country?" Sun Wukong asked.

"No." Xiaoshan pointed in a direction and said, "A few hundred miles to the southwest from here, it should be my hometown."

"A few hundred miles specifically?" Sun Wukong asked.

Xiao Shan smiled bitterly: "I don't know the exact number of miles, I can only take a walk and see. After all, when I came here, there was nothing to measure the distance."

Qin Yao said: "A good man will do his best to send Buddha to the west. Let's walk southwest. Anyway, we are heading west."

Xuanzang looked at him and roughly guessed what he was thinking, and nodded slightly: "That's fine."

If nothing else, this Xiaohe Village should be the end of this difficulty.

All guesses will be revealed here...

Later, under the leadership of Xiaoshan, the westbound team gradually deviated from the direction and headed southwest.

I don't know whether she felt the despair from Xuanzang, or Xiaoshan suddenly figured it out after kneeling there. On the way to the southwest, she no longer bothered Xuanzang, but gradually accepted Zhu Bajie's kindness.

The happy old pig couldn't help but be happy every day.

Seven days passed quickly, and the relationship between Xiao Shan and Lao Zhu continued to heat up. Finally, on a bright moonlit night, the two... to be precise, the two demons had their first date.

"Sister Xiaoshan." After quietly leaving the team, Zhu Bajie immediately rushed towards the innocent girl impatiently.

Xiao Shan suppressed his nausea, allowed the other party to hold him in his arms, and said: "Brother Pig."

Zhu Bajie chuckled, lowered his head and was about to lean towards the other person, but unexpectedly Xiao Shan suddenly stretched out his hand to hold his chin and said solemnly: "Brother Zhu, don't be too busy kissing me, I have something to ask you."

Afraid of hurting the other party, Zhu Bajie had no choice but to tilt his head back: "Sister, tell me."

"The Master no longer allows me to stay in the team. If I follow you, won't I have to be a widow in the future?" Xiaoshan leaned next to the old pig and asked in a low voice.

Zhu Bajie kept sniffing the fragrance of the other person's body, his eyes blurred: "Isn't it still a long way from your village? On the way back, I will persuade Master and try to let you stay."

"Strive for?"

Xiaoshan suddenly broke away from his arms, with a serious look on his face: "What if you can't win, won't the result be the same? Let me see it this way, when will you succeed in your struggle, when will I be with you again?

Together."

"No, sister." Lao Zhu reached out to pull Xiao Shan, but he was pulled away again.

"Brother Pig, I hope you can respect me." Xiaoshan said seriously.

Zhu Bajie quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally gave up the plan of betraying the team to flatter Xiao Shan.

That Young Master Kong was like a prophet who could guess whether Xiao Shan was a traitor, and he would probably take his current situation into consideration.

He was under great pressure to face such a perceptive person who could see through falsehoods. This pressure even exceeded lust.
