Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!-Chapter 352 - 7: Diary, I Want to Plant Trees

But just then, disaster struck.

A private scientific expedition team discovered that underneath Nanfeng Village lay a vast amount of oil, and subsequently, a boss named Li Xiancheng took a liking to the land of Nanfeng Village, which then faced all manner of schemes.

This included deforestation of windbreaks, opening chemical factories, assembling hooligans to do odd jobs, and driving the villagers away.

It was during one such conflict that Tang Caiyi’s mother was injured and hospitalized, and due to years of tree planting, her previous health issues flared up all at once, resulting in her death.

Tang Sanzang, fearing the child couldn’t bear it, concocted a story that her mother had to leave for some urgent matter and would only come back when Nanfeng Village was filled with large trees and blooming with flowers.

Later on, Tang Sanzang himself was beaten and severely injured, landing in the hospital...

The last page of the diary contained only a few words—If I die, what will happen to Caiyi? I’m sorry...

And then there was nothing more.

Tang Sanzang knew that Tang Caiyi’s father must have really died.

Just at that moment, a little head leaned in, its eyes shining with happiness and filled with endless hope, looked at him, and blinked, "Do you remember now?"

Looking at the cute little girl who possessed a maturity not fitting her age, Tang Sanzang’s heart ached inexplicably; he patted her little head and said, "I remember now, I remember everything."

Tang Caiyi’s smile immediately bloomed like a flower.

Tang Sanzang also smiled. Just as he was about to casually close the diary, he suddenly noticed that there was more written after the last page!

He flipped it open and was shocked to see!

"There are some things I haven’t told Caiyi.

There is an ancient prophecy that when the south wind desert is once again covered with greenery, and flowers bloom everywhere, our ancestor shall return to the mortal world.

For endless years, we’ve been striving, but for some reason, every time we’re about to succeed, we encounter various natural and man-made disasters, rendering all efforts futile.

I didn’t believe in this prophecy at first, but one destruction could be a coincidence, two, three, countless times—I don’t think it’s a coincidence anymore. We are being targeted.

If we’re being targeted, then it might indeed be true.

So, I will continue to strive, never giving up!"

"If this is true..." Tang Sanzang grinned, his fist clenched slightly, he cocked his head and chuckled, "You baldy, just wait for my punch!"

Having said that, Tang Sanzang put away the diary and looked towards Tang Caiyi.

Tang Caiyi was stunned, "Dad, your smile doesn’t look like a good person."

Tang Sanzang gave her a glance and said, "Don’t talk nonsense, your old man I am a high monk who has achieved enlightenment, all is well. Go to sleep quickly, tomorrow, we go tree planting."

"But... Dad, what about those bad people? And all the uncles and aunts have left, given up, it’s only you and me, can we really do it?" Tang Caiyi was somewhat doubtful.

Tang Sanzang stroked Tang Caiyi’s little head, "Don’t worry, everything is under control with your dad here!"

Seeing Tang Sanzang, so full of confidence and ready for battle, Tang Caiyi also felt her spirits rise, and she clenched her small fist, saying, "Dad, I support you!"

…

A night passed without incident.

The next day, Tang Sanzang, accompanied by Tang Caiyi, returned to Nanfeng Village.

Two spirited individuals looked at the dusky village…

Tang Caiyi tugged at Tang Sanzang’s large hand and asked, "Dad, where do we start? The village doesn’t even have a well now… and there’s a chemical plant next to it."

Tang Sanzang glanced at the distant chemical plant and said, "Don’t worry, it’ll be gone soon."

"I don’t believe it," Tang Caiyi shook her head, "Those big bad guys said, as long as we don’t leave, they won’t give up..."

Tang Sanzang smiled slightly and said, "That’s because we were going about it the wrong way before; we can’t use force against them, we need to touch their hearts with sincerity, we need to convert them with Buddhist Law, so they realize their mistakes and correct them on their own, understand?"

Tang Caiyi looked up, tilted her head, and then reached out her little hand for a pinkie promise.

Tang Sanzang bent down, and she took the opportunity to touch Tang Sanzang’s forehead, muttering, "You’re not feverish, so why the foolish talk?"

Tang Sanzang: "#￥%&..."

Tang Sanzang seriously wondered if his father had died because he couldn’t stand her sharp tongue!

Meanwhile, in the manager’s office of the chemical plant.

A tattoo-covered fat man sat there, smoking a cigarette and answering the phone: "Luo Zi and his guys are missing? How is that possible? Just yesterday, they talked about experiencing life in the Oasis, how could they just disappear? Could it be that they drank too much and haven’t woken up? They weren’t given drinks? This…"

The fat man also felt something was amiss: "This is strange, we basically control the Nanfeng Desert now. Almost all the troublemakers from Nanfeng Village are gone, only a little girl remains, how much trouble can she stir up?"

A serious voice came through from the other end of the phone: "Fat Xu, I don’t want to analyze the problem with you, I just want to inform you that Luo Zi and the others have gone off the radar. If they are fine, that’s good, but if something happened to them, it’s surely directed at us. The next one could be aimed at you! Be careful."

Fat Xu laughed heartily: "Secretary Chen, you think I’m like Luo Zi and those punks? My men are all genuinely skilled! With a crew of over thirty people, excluding those with mercenary backgrounds, all armed, who would dare to cause trouble here? Do they have a death wish?"

"That’s good then, the land that your chemical plant is on is very important, the project there is also vital, it’s the key to our entry into the Nanfeng Desert. Alright, I’ve said everything that needs to be said. If you have time, send someone to look for Luo Zi and his men."

After finishing, Secretary Chen hung up.

Fat Xu curled his lip, disdainfully saying, "Whether Luo Zi and his guys live or die, what’s that to me!"

Just then, the door opened, and a burly man walked in: "Boss, what’s going on? Who got you angry?"

Fat Xu indifferently replied, "Who else could it be? Secretary Chen told us to be careful, saying someone might target us."

The burly man burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Hahaha… Target us? With over thirty of our brothers, including more than a dozen who are ex-mercenaries, all armed, who’d dare to make trouble here? Are they tired of living?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone outside shouted, "Boss, Tang Sanzang and his daughter are here!"

The two men were taken aback and exchanged a glance.

Fat Xu said, "Wasn’t Tang Sanzang supposed to be dead?"

Although puzzled, the two men paid no mind to these suspicions; they didn’t believe in ghosts and spirits, only in their own methods.

Fat Xu gestured and, leading the burly man, approached the main entrance, where they could see Tang Sanzang and Tang Caiyi from a distance.

Seeing Tang Sanzang’s bald head and the Kasaya he was wearing, he immediately laughed, "Tang Sanzang, have you had an epiphany and become a monk, abandoning worldly affairs? If you ask me, you should have figured this out earlier. Why oppose us in the first place? How many bones do you have to be enough for us to break?"
