The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism-Chapter 1451: Money!

Red Boy was rendered speechless. Scrounge a meal? How could that be easy?

As they flew, Red Boy suddenly pointed at a building below. "Master, there are so many people down there. There are also so many cars."

Fangzheng looked down and said, "Could it be someone holding a wedding? If that's the case, there will definitely be food."

Red Boy's eyes lit up. "Are we pretending to be relatives from the groom's side or the bride's side?"

Fangzheng grinned. It was obvious what he meant. Let's do it!

Therefore, Red Boy lowered the cloud. When the two came close to take a look, they were disappointed. It wasn't a wedding but a grand event. The two of them didn't know what it was exactly, but when they heard the people beside them speak, they gained some understanding.

This was a touring exhibition of Chinese calligraphy.

Fangzheng's interest was piqued when he heard that. Although his Dragon Buddha Epithet had been taken back, skills he had learned were retained. What was retracted was the augmented effect. His skills remained. Therefore, Fangzheng could continue making tables, chairs, and various high-tech trinkets. He could still produce the Dragon Buddha Epithet.

"Master, there's no food here. Let's change places." Red Boy rubbed his belly.

Fangzheng looked at the sky. It was almost dark. Furthermore, the exhibition hall had only just been set up. Most of the people at the entrance were just there to join in the fun. If they wanted to enter, it would probably be tomorrow.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to eat!

However, it was hard to earn a living when out, especially in foreign lands in which they didn't know much about. Getting free food was difficult…

The master and disciple had no better solution. Hence, Fangzheng brought Red Boy to a bench by the roadside and watched a bakery quietly.

Red Boy said, "Master, are we just going to watch?"

Fangzheng said, "Yea, let's watch it for a while. Perhaps we will end up being full."

Red Boy: "…"

Just as the two sat there in a daze, Red Boy suddenly realized that there was a box on the bench! He opened it out of curiosity and was instantly stunned. He exclaimed, "Master!"

Fangzheng was taken aback as he asked, "What's wrong?"

Red Boy picked up the box and exclaimed in surprise, "There's money inside!"

Fangzheng immediately turned excited when he heard that. Money? He hurriedly went over to take a look. Indeed, there were three 100€ notes in the box!

Red Boy laughed out loud. "Master, it looks like the heavens don't want us to starve to death. It gave us money! If we have money, let's buy bread?"

Fangzheng thought for a moment and shook his head. "If the money is in a box and the box is placed on the bench, someone might have accidentally left it here. Leave it here first. Let's wait… Who knows, the person who lost it might come back. 300€ isn't a small number here. The person who lost the money should be very anxious."

Red Boy said bitterly, "Master, we are almost starving to death. Can't you go easy?"

Fangzheng shook his head. "We haven't starved to death yet… Let's talk about it when we do."

Red Boy rolled his eyes. Let's talk about when we starve to death? What else can we say when we are dead?

Fangzheng stroked Red Boy's head and said, "How about this? We'll wait until the shop is almost about to close. If no one comes back for it, I'll agree to you using a portion of the money to buy two loaves of bread. How about that? We'll take it as the payment for watching over the item. How about that?"

Red Boy's eyes lit up when he heard that. He nodded immediately and shouted, "Alright!"

At the same time, Red Boy silently prayed that the person who lost the money would not return. Please don't return…

Time ticked by, and it was unknown how many pedestrians walked by. Every time someone came or looked over, Red Boy's heart would beat wildly with a worried look on his face…

However, he still obeyed Fangzheng. He placed the box in front of him at a conspicuous spot, hoping to attract the attention of the owner.

"Master, you and I can hear your heartbeat. You seem more nervous than me," Red Boy whispered.

Fangzheng grunted. "Nonsense. Who wants to starve if they can get something to eat?"

"Then why don't you just leave with the money? No one saw it anyway. We can buy some food and can even find a place to stay for the night. How comfortable would that be…" Red Boy mumbled.

Fangzheng raised his hand and rapped him on the head. "People have to be a little determined in life. If one goes with the flow and has no bottom line when one encounters difficulties, they won't be humans."

Red Boy subconsciously asked, "What would they be?"

Fangzheng said, "A wild beast that follows the smell upon catching a whiff, one that doesn't have any bottom line. Jingxin, being hungry and suffering is also a part of cultivation. If you aren't hungry, you won't know how helpless and painful it is to be tormented by hunger in the mortal world."

Red Boy fell silent.

By ten at night, the bakery opposite had already started to shutter. There were fewer and fewer people on the streets. Red Boy said nervously, "Master…"

Fangzheng nodded and said, "Go ahead. Buy cheap ones and something that's filling. Don't pick the good-looking ones."

Red Boy nodded and hugged the box. He happily ran off.

"Child, what would you like to buy?" The shop assistant was a European middle-aged woman. Her white hair made her look spirited. When she saw the adorable Red Boy running over with a box in his hands, she put down the things she was packing and asked with a chuckle.

"I want to buy huge, huge, huge, huge, huge loaves of bread. The cheaper it is, the better." Red Boy knew very well that when unable to use divine powers, the only way he could earn benefits was to act cute! Besides, he was born cute. Wouldn't it be a pity if he did not do it?

The woman was amused when she heard that. "You want huge, huge, huge, huge, huge loaves of bread? And the cheapest one? But that kind of bread doesn't taste good. There's no fruits or cream. You won't like it. Why don't I recommend you something else?"

Red Boy decisively shook his head. He was starving to the point of no return. He wasn't picky with his food, nor did he want to waste any time. All he wanted to do was to eat as soon as possible. However, the woman's words successfully made him salivate. He wiped his drool and glanced at the beautiful cakes and fruits. He shook his head and said, "No, I want a huge one, a huge, huge one. The cheaper the better."

With that said, Red Boy tiptoed and placed the box on the table.

The woman smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll give you the biggest one, and it's only 2€."

With that said, the woman found two very long loaves of bread from behind. Just as she said, the bread did not have any extra decorations, fruits, or cream. However, Red Boy did not mind. He nearly drooled. He hurriedly took it and opened the box. "Auntie, look at how much I need to pay you. Take it yourself."

When the woman saw that there were three 100€ bills in the box, she said in surprise, "Child, you're very rich. Why did you buy the cheapest bread? You can spend a little more and buy very delicious bread."
