Chapter 1452: What’s the Situation?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Red Boy was too embarrassed to say that money was picked up . Hence, he shook his head and said, “One should be frugal when possible…”
The woman looked at Red Boy’s tattered monk robes and felt a little emotional . She nodded and said, “Alright, but a cute and sensible child like you should be rewarded . I have a tiny strawberry cake here . Do you want it?”
Red Boy’s eyes lit up when he heard that . “Really? Can you really give it to me?”
The woman smiled and said, “Of course, just take it as a bonus for the final sale for today . It’s on the house . ”
The woman took out a small cake from the counter . It wasn’t even the size of a palm-sized cake . There was a beautiful red strawberry on top of it . She handed it to Red Boy .
Red Boy pressed his palms together gratefully . “Amitabha . Thank you, Patron!”
“Take it . ” The woman handed it to Red Boy . Red Boy happily took it and took the money the woman had returned him .
After putting all the money into the box, Red Boy ran happily to the opposite side of the road . When he looked up, he was stunned . He realized that another person had appeared on the bench . The person appeared very down as he scratched his head with both hands, looking anxious .
However, Red Boy did not think much of it . He was starving and only wanted to eat something .
At that moment, Fangzheng said, “Jingxin, stop eating . ”
Red Boy was taken aback as he asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”
“Go and return the bread . ”
Red Boy exclaimed, “What? Master! We haven’t eaten for more than a day . We are about to starve to death . To return it? What if they don’t accept returns? They…”
Red Boy was just about to say something when he saw Fangzheng’s solemn expression . He could only bitterly wrap the bread again . He looked at the bread in his hand and took a deep breath of the bread’s fragrance . He asked indignantly, “Master, was this the patron who lost the money?”
Fangzheng shook his head .
Red Boy couldn’t figure out Fangzheng’s actions…
However, Red Boy knew very well that Fangzheng would definitely not stand on ceremony if he could eat . Since Fangzheng said they couldn’t eat the food, there had to be a reason . Therefore, Red Boy obediently walked back with the bread .
“Why are you back?” the woman asked in surprise .
Red Boy sighed and said, “Master told me to return it . Patron, can I return the bread?”
The auntie looked at the properly packaged bread and said in puzzlement, “You seem to be very hungry . Why are you returning it? Are you going to eat something else? I dare say that no food on this street is cheaper and healthier than me . ”
Red Boy shook his head and said, “I don’t know either . However, there’s definitely a reason why Master wants me to return the bread . Sorry, Patron, please take it back . ”
The woman frowned and persuaded Red Boy a few more times to no avail . Finally, she refunded him the money .
However, when Red Boy wanted to return the tiny cake, the woman shook her head . “This is a gift . There’s no need to return it . Take it and eat it . ”
“Thank you…” Red Boy pressed his palms together in gratitude .
With that said, Red Boy carried the box and ran back .
“Master, the bread has been returned . This was a gift from that patron . Can I keep it? The money is all here,” Red Boy asked pitifully .
Fangzheng nodded . “Since it’s a gift, you can obviously keep it . ”
Then, Fangzheng took the box and patted the man’s shoulder . “Patron, take it . ”
The man was taken aback as he asked, “You want to give me this money?”
Fangzheng nodded slightly and said with a smile, “There are priorities . Since your daughter is seriously ill and lacks money, giving you the money might be the best choice . However, this money isn’t This Penniless Monk’s either . It was also picked up by This Penniless Monk . However, the owner never came to retrieve it . Patron, take it to handle the emergency . This Penniless Monk will wait here for the owner . If he comes, This Penniless Monk will explain it to him . This Penniless Monk will resolve the subsequent problems of repayment . ”
The man looked at Fangzheng in surprise and said, “This… This is all for me? The two of you seem very hungry . ”
Without needing Fangzheng and Red Boy to reply, their stomachs were already growling .
Fangzheng shook his head and said, “People won’t die from not eating for a day, but if they are not given treatment when sick, something can happen . Patron, quickly go . ”
“Master, what’s going on?” Red Boy asked in confusion .
Fangzheng said, “When you went to buy bread, this patron came over . I heard him on the phone . The hospital was rushing him to pay the medical bills . His daughter is still in the hospital and needs money to be treated . I believe the money we picked up should be used on people who need it more . ”
Red Boy said bitterly, “Then what if the person who lost the money comes back? What if he’s also in need of the money?”
Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, “It’s not difficult for you to earn some money at critical moments, right?”
Fangzheng had always objected to using divine powers to earn money . For example, once Fangzheng opened his Heavenly Eye, he could just sit on the ground and read fortunes . However, he was restricted by the System and could not do so . However, Red Boy was not restricted!
It was not against the law to earn money by performing on the streets overseas . As long as they performed according to the rules at a regulated place, there wouldn’t be any Urban Administrative and Law Enforcement Bureau to chase them away .
It was still very easy for Red Boy to spit fire . However, Fangzheng had always objected to using such a method to earn money . In Fangzheng’s words, one had to walk the mortal world like an ordinary person and experience the sufferings of the mortal world to understand what he should do .
As for being high up in an ivory tower and giving a few lectures while spending large sums of money were not things that Fangzheng agreed with . If one didn’t know what another party needed and only used a method that one thinks is the correct method, they would often not harm the other party instead of helping them .
To redeem others, one had to redeem oneself . One had to redeem others and oneself . Therefore, before redeeming others, one had to experience the myriad states of life .
However, there were always exceptions to everything . It was obvious that they had to temporarily set aside some rules and make things convenient for them .
At that moment, Red Boy transmitted his voice . “Master, you can save his daughter . There’s no need to give him money…”
Fangzheng cast A Golden Millet Dream to prevent the other party from hearing him . Only then did he say, “It’s not convenient for me to act openly . I’ll follow him later and save his daughter . As for giving him money, it’s just a form of consolation . After all, this bit of money isn’t enough to pay for a surgery . A single illness doesn’t only torment the patient, but also the patient’s family . He was on the brink of collapse . Our money might not be of much use, but it’s enough for him to see a glimmer of hope… This money isn’t money, but medicine used to treat illnesses . Do you understand?”
Red Boy nodded thoughtfully . “Got it . ”
Just as the two of them were communicating with each other via voice transmissions, there was a sudden sound of fireworks behind them . Following that, fireworks shot up into the sky and bloomed in the sky, illuminating the night sky!
The sudden fireworks stunned the master and disciple duo . What was going on?
As though they didn’t cost money, the fireworks flew into the sky one by one and exploded…
Following that, a group of people suddenly ran out of the quiet streets . They were holding flowers and a huge card!
