How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 18 You two are really lucky.

Little Dog Sheng: Experienced people don't easily trust others, especially strangers.

Qian Laifu: I know the answer to this question. His dad tested him on it. Although it wasn't exactly the same, it wasn't much different.

While feeding the puppy, Qian Laifu said, "With my old arms and legs, how could I possibly go and appeal to the emperor? I've heard that appealing to the emperor means rolling on a bed of nails. If I die from rolling on a bed of nails, what will happen to my grandson? Let me tell you, most people who go to appeal to the emperor have probably already died and are all alone. Anyone with a descendant wouldn't go to appeal to the emperor."

"Appealing to the emperor sounds impressive. But it's practically suicide. Have you ever seen someone roll on a bed of nails? How long are those nails? I heard they're a full three inches long. Three inches? Just thinking about it hurts."

Seeing that Qian Laifu's reaction was acceptable, Xie Zhenyun continued, "I've seen it, it's more than three inches."

"It's more than three inches? Does anyone actually roll around in it? And can they even survive after that?"

"Yes, they can survive."

Qian Laifu was very surprised to hear this. "Still alive?"

Xie Zhenyun nodded.

"They are in really good health."

"Yes."

Qian Laifu figured that his granddaughter was full and stopped feeding her.

The puppy was still crying and wanted more food.

Qian Laifu picked up the dog-beating stick and tapped it on a stone by the roadside. "If you keep making trouble, Grandpa will hit you."

The little dog turned around and went to snatch Xie Zhenyun's bowl. "Mine, mine. Mine."

The bowl Xie Zhenyun used was indeed leftovers from the puppy. Xie Zhenyun didn't bring anything with him when he left.

Qian Laifu quickly pulled the little dog Sheng back. His granddaughter was acting so well. No wonder his father said he'd given himself away; his granddaughter wouldn't either. "Grandpa will feed you two more bites. If you eat them and still make a fuss, Grandpa will really hit you."

The little dog pointed at the bowl in Xie Zhenyun's hand and said resentfully, "Mine."

Xie Zhenyun finished the rest of his meal in two bites. After finishing, he deliberately shoved the bowl into Xiao Gou Sheng's hands. "Here you go."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Bullying children is immoral. "Wah...wah..."

Qian Laifu: "..." Is this person reliable or not? "Good boy, Gousheng, Grandpa has more. Grandpa will feed you two more bites."

The puppy didn't eat anymore.

The little dog, Sheng, is going to settle scores with his enemies.

The puppy put down its bowl and rushed towards Xie Zhenyun. "Wah...wah...give me back my food, give me back my food!"

"Hahahaha..." Xie Zhenyun picked up the puppy Sheng and tossed it around a couple of times.

The puppy was both scared and wanted to play.

Xie Zhenyun pinched the little dog's nose. "Do you still want me to pay you back for your food?"

Food? The little dog, Sheng, started crying again. "Waaah... my food, my food! Waaah..."

Xie Zhenyun quickly shoved the puppy Sheng into Qian Laifu's arms. "Are all children this hard to coax?"

"Hmm." So please stop teasing her from now on. You'll make her cry and then you won't comfort her.

As he thought about it, Qian Laifu plucked a few blades of grass and wove them into a dragonfly. "Gousheng, look what Grandpa wove for you!"

The puppy didn't look. "Wow...my food, my food!"

Qian Laifu comforted Gou Sheng for a while before he stopped crying. Then he took the dragonfly and went to play nearby.

While eating, Qian Laifu said, "Finally, you've managed to appease them."

Xie Zhenyun was a little embarrassed. "You have very skillful hands."

"What's so special about it? Even country folk can do that. Do you want to learn? I'll teach you."

"No. I like martial arts, I'll teach Gousheng martial arts."

"Okay. But we have to wait until she's better. Otherwise, if she learns martial arts and hurts someone, I won't be able to afford to pay for it." "That's true. By the way, do you have a travel permit?"

"No."

Qian Laifu answered decisively. First, they really didn't have any travel permits. Second, his father said that Xie Zhenyun had been out there for so many years and might be able to get some.

“My wife and son were afraid that I would secretly take Gousheng to the capital, so they hid all the household registration documents and money in the house.”

Xie Zhenyun was taken aback. Was this man reckless or unaware of the importance of the travel permit? "Aren't you afraid the officials will arrest you as a spy?"

Qian Laifu showed Xie Zhenyun his hands and shoulders. They were covered in calluses. "These hands and shoulders of mine are clearly the result of years of farm work."

His father said that when someone tests him, he can't just wait for others to test him; he has to take the initiative to prove that what he says is true.

Xie Zhenyun smiled. "Besides arresting spies, the officials also arrest displaced people."

Qian Laifu leaned closer to Xie Zhenyun and whispered, "I heard that the officials are arresting refugees so they can force them to work in the mines. My grandson and I are old and mentally challenged, so the officials probably won't arrest us. We've encountered officials a few times on the road, but they haven't paid any attention to us. Once, a young man even gave my grandson half a piece of bread."

Xie Zhenyun glanced at Qian Laifu and Xiao Gousheng. There really wasn't much to catch. "You two, grandfather and grandson, are really lucky."

"Yes, yes," Qian Laifu said with a happy face. "I was worried about getting lost, but I didn't expect you to want to go to the capital too. I'm so lucky, I'm sure I can find a miracle doctor in the capital, and that doctor will definitely be able to cure my grandson."

Xie Zhenyun also hoped that Gousheng would get better. "Let's go. We have to get to Changjia Town before dark, otherwise we'll have to sleep in the wilderness."

"Okay. Gousheng, come here, Grandpa will take you to play."

The puppy came running over, all excited.

Xie Zhenyun: "..." Kids aren't that hard to coax.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Xie Zhenyun and his grandson Qian Laifu got along quite well during this month.

In the morning, Qian Laifu and his dog, Gousheng, hadn't managed to beg for any food. With noon fast approaching, Qian Laifu was getting anxious. Suddenly, he saw a pond ahead, with lots of water plants along its banks. Qian Laifu's heart leaped with joy. "Brother Xie, could you keep an eye on Gousheng for me? I'll go see if there are any wild duck eggs hidden among those water plants."

"it is good."

Qian Laifu gave Gousheng a few instructions, made up a little dog for him, and then went to the pond to try his luck.

After watching Qian Laifu walk away, Xie Zhenyun took out a chicken leg from his pocket and waved it under the dog's nose. "Want some?"

The puppy reached out and snatched it.

Xie Zhenyun wasn't about to let her get it. "Tell me your last name and I'll give it to you."

"Tian! Tian! Tian! Tian Gousheng!" Her grandmother's surname was Tian, ​​and she and her grandfather now both took her grandmother's surname. As Xiao Gousheng spoke, he pounced on Xie Zhenyun.

Xie Zhenyun saw that what Gou Sheng said was the same as what Qian Laifu said, so he gave her the chicken leg.

Gou Sheng smiled at Xie Zhenyun as he ate.

Xie Zhenyun rubbed Gou Sheng's little head. "Silly boy."

Gou Sheng gave Xie Zhenyun two words: "Hehe!"

The next day, Xie Zhenyun woke up complaining of a headache.

Before Qian Laifu could speak, Xie Zhenyun clutched his head and fainted.

Qian Laifu jumped up from the ground in fright. "Brother Xie, Brother Xie, what's wrong? Brother Xie, Brother Xie..."

Brother Xie lay motionless on the ground.

Gou Sheng was disappointed. Why didn't you try to get information out of her? She still wanted to eat chicken legs.

Gou Sheng grabbed two handfuls of dirt and threw them on Xie Zhenyun's face. "He's dead, bury him."

If Xie Zhenyun still doesn't trust them after this, then they'll have no choice but to part ways with him.

It's fine to test it once, twice, or three times. But if you keep testing it without believing it, it's pointless.
