How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 23 I Have This Function
Xiaogou Sheng was constantly worried that her older cousin would discover that the Tang family mother and daughter were lying to her. "It's best if she hasn't figured it out yet."

"Why?" Qian Laifu asked, puzzled.

Little Dog Sheng looked at Qian Laifu and said, "If my eldest cousin hadn't found out, the Tang family mother and daughter would just coax her and make her do what they wanted. But if my eldest cousin found out, the Tang family mother and daughter would come up with other tricks. If my eldest cousin found out and confronted them head-on..."

The puppy stopped there.

Qian Laifu: "..." Then let's not try to figure it out. "Your older cousin has been slow-witted since she was little, she definitely won't find out."

Xiao Gou Sheng also felt that it was unlikely her older cousin would find out. It wasn't that her older cousin was stupid, but she had always lived in a small mountain village and would never have imagined that the Tang family would scheme against her. The Tang family had no grudge against her.

"Yes, my eldest cousin has been mentally challenged since she was little. When I didn't want to walk anymore, I would say I was sleepy, and my eldest cousin would always believe me and carry me back in a basket."

"Yes, your eldest cousin has been mentally challenged since she was a child."

"Hmm. If my great-grandfather hadn't come up and reminded you and my grandma, neither of us would have realized that the Tang family had ulterior motives. My eldest cousin is far less naive than you and my grandma. If neither you nor my grandma noticed, my eldest cousin certainly wouldn't have either."

While comforting her grandfather, Xiaogou Sheng hoped that her older cousin wouldn't perform exceptionally well.

"Yes, your eldest cousin definitely won't find out. I'll go to Longhua Temple tomorrow to get you a talisman. Once we get it, we'll go and squat in the mass grave."

The little dog didn't really want her grandfather to ask someone for help. "No need, my great-grandfather will protect me."

"How could your great-grandfather be as powerful as Buddha? Even your great-grandfather doesn't know where your eldest cousin is right now."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Okay, she's definitely not as powerful as Buddha. "Then I'll ask for two, one for you and one for me."

"it is good."

The next day, Qian Laifu took his granddaughter to the entrance of Longhua Temple early in the morning to wait.

The monk guarding the gate saw two smiling faces as soon as he opened the door.

One is simple and honest, the other is silly and foolish.

The monk guarding the gate was startled. "What are you two doing here, grandfather and grandson?"

Qian Laifu and his grandson had been loitering around Longhua Temple for more than ten days, and the monks guarding the gate already knew them.

Qian Laifu gave him a big smile. "We've come to ask for amulets for peace and safety."

The little dog, Sheng, then said, "I need a peace charm."

The gatekeeper monk thought to himself, "What are you two beggars asking for? You'd be better off asking for a vegetarian meal. A vegetarian meal can fill you up, but can a peace charm?"
But he is a monk. How can a monk say that amulets are inferior to vegetarian meals?
The monk guarding the gate peeked out and, after confirming that no one else was nearby, quickly pulled Qian Laifu and Xiao Gousheng inside. "Wait here for me. I'll go ask my master to draw two amulets for you. Don't tell anyone else. What if other people come empty-handed like you two, asking for amulets? What will we offer to Buddha then?"

Qian Laifu: "..." I wasn't planning on taking it for nothing. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. Thank you."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." You're such a kind person, I wish you would become an enlightened monk soon. "Thank you."

The gatekeeper monk took out a copper coin from his pocket and stuffed it into Gou Sheng's hand. "Tell your grandpa to buy you some candy."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Others spend money to get amulets for protection, but she and her grandmother not only didn't spend any money but also earned a penny. Maybe she should just stay a beggar forever? Being a beggar has its advantages. "Thank you, you're such a kind person."

The gatekeeper monk patted Gou Sheng's head and then went to find his master.

His master glared at him after hearing his words. "How could you make such a promise? People who become beggars have either committed sins or are undergoing tribulations."

"Huh? I... I just felt sorry for the grandmother and grandson and wanted to help them. I... I'll go to the kitchen and get some steamed buns for them to take with them."

His master glared at him again. "You've already promised them. Call them over, I'll take them to see your grandmaster." "Thank you, Master."

"Don't make promises lightly in the future."

"Yes. Your disciple has remembered."

"Go."

"Yes."

There was an apple tree at Longhua Temple. Gousheng was drooling over the apples on the tree when the gatekeeper monk returned. "Come with me. My master said that drawing amulets for peace also depends on fate. My master said he has no fate with you two. My master plans to take you to see my grandmaster. If my grandmaster also has no fate with you, then you'll have to go somewhere else to pray."

Qian Laifu: "..." Does getting a peace charm depend on fate?

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Is the "yuan" you're talking about the same as the "yuanbao" in "yuanbao" (a type of ancient Chinese currency)?

The grandfather and grandson silently followed the gatekeeper monk to his master's place, and then followed his master to his grandmaster's place.

Master Daoyi was exercising when his young disciple led an old man and a young girl over.

Hongzhi bowed to Master Daoyi. "Greetings, Master. These two benefactors wish to request two peace talismans, what do you think?"

Master Daoyi laughed upon hearing this. "The two of them don't need to ask for amulets; that kid is the amulet himself."

Hongzhi: "..." What does that mean?
Qian Laifu: "..." A master! If his granddaughter hadn't realized that the girl was fake, he probably would have run over to claim her as his relative.

Little Dog Sheng: "..." How do I look like a lucky charm? Am I crooked and twisted? Or do I look like a fierce demon?
Master Daoyi couldn't help but laugh when he saw the little dog's expression of utter disbelief. "Hahahaha... boy, this humble monk asks you, has that dog-beating stick in your hand ever been used to beat a dog?"

Little Dog Sheng: "..." What does that mean? Could it be that her cheat ability is to keep dogs at bay?

Qian Laifu thought for a moment and realized they hadn't encountered any stray dogs. "Master, do you mean evil spirits will avoid my grandson?"

Master Daoyi nodded. "It's fine if your grandson lives in a cemetery. Just stay close to him. Your grandson is far more powerful than any peace charm I could draw."

The puppy: "..." I have this function?
Qian Laifu: He will definitely stay close to his little granddaughter from now on.

Hongzhi: Master, are you perhaps mistaken? If this child could keep evil spirits away, he wouldn't have become a beggar.

After making his decision, Qian Laifu began to thank Master Daoyi. "Thank you, we won't bother you any longer, we'll be leaving now."

"Wait a minute." Master Daoyi looked at the little dog Sheng and said with a smile, "It is fate that we meet. Since we are destined, let's have a vegetarian meal together."

The little dog smiled at Master Daoyi. "Do you have any chicken legs?"

Qian Laifu: "..." This naughty kid.

Master Daoyi: "Hahahaha... This humble monk not only has chicken legs, but also pork legs and lamb legs."

Then, the puppy Sheng ate vegetarian meat that looked even more like meat than real meat.

After finishing their meal, the grandfather and grandson went outside to beg.

As dusk began to fall, the grandfather and grandson, carrying shovels borrowed from Longhua Temple, strode confidently to the mass grave to try their luck.

On the other side, Hongzhi, who had been holding back all day, finally couldn't take it anymore. "Master, did you just make up a reason to comfort that grandmother and grandson because you felt sorry for them? Can that child really make evil spirits stay away?"
