119 Where is the Western Paradise? (2/2)

”What is it?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

”I'm looking for a girl named Zixia.” Chen Wudi said in a serious tone, ”I have two things that I must complete in this reincarnation of mine. One is to escort Master to obtain the scriptures, and the other is to find Zixia!”

Ren Xiaosu turned to his side and stared blankly at Chen Wudi. Which version of Journey to the West did you read?

Even though he carefully recalled all the versions of Journey to the West he had read, he could not remember any woman named Zixia.

Suddenly, Jiang Wu came walking over from the opposite direction. She and her students were carrying a lot of firewood in their arms.

When Jiang Wu saw Ren Xiaosu, her eyes lit up. ”You guys don't have to collect any firewood. We've already helped you gather plenty.”

Strength in numbers, as they said. With Jiang Wu leading 28 students to collect the firewood, it was much faster than if Ren Xiaosu had collected it alone. Not only that, Ren Xiaosu estimated that the firewood they were carrying should be enough for four or five campfires.

Ren Xiaosu did not reject her and nodded. It was a good thing she intended to return the favor, and he did not mind her kind gesture.

He saw several female students looking at Chen Wudi in embarrassment. They walked over hesitantly and said to him, ”You're so handsome.”

Chen Wudi was stunned before replying, ”Thank you, female almsgivers.”

The words ”female almsgivers” were like buckets of cold water that immediately extinguished any romantic thoughts the young women had.

Ren Xiaosu ignored them as he walked to the front. He shouted as he walked, ”Come, come, I've discovered some good things!”

Sometimes, nature is very generous in gifting. As long as you have a good pair of ”seeking” eyes, you would definitely not starve to death.

Just as Ren Xiaosu was about to turn around, he suddenly saw that something was off about the patch of wild grass in front of him. Taking a closer look, he realized it was a sweet potato field!

He did not know how long this sweet potato field had been growing in the wilderness. Furthermore, this was the season sweet potatoes were the most delicious!

Ren Xiaosu turned around and said to Jiang Wu, ”What are you still standing around for? Have your students start digging!”

”Oh, OK.” Jiang Wu reacted immediately as she beckoned her students to start digging. Honestly, if not for Ren Xiaosu, she would not know there were so many sweet potatoes growing underground.

They had to hurry before the other escapees found out. Otherwise, there wouldn't be many sweet potatoes left for them.

There were simply too many escapees.

As Jiang Wu dug for the sweet potatoes with her students, she constantly stole glances at Ren Xiaosu. This young man was always full of surprises, which gradually turned into a strange kind of dependence for her. Jiang Wu felt that as long as they followed Ren Xiaosu, they would make it to Stronghold 109 alive.

Within a minute, all of the other escapees rushed over once they learned of the situation here.

No one dared to vie with Ren Xiaosu for the sweet potatoes. But as the field was huge, there were still many other spots for them to dig.

Ren Xiaosu did not care about the others. He and Chen Wudi dug up more than 30 sweet potatoes before they finally stopped. These sweet potatoes were shockingly large, so they wouldn't have to worry about their provisions for the next few days at least.

When he got up from the ground and looked around him, he was shocked to see that the entire sweet potato field had almost been stripped bare by the escapees.
