Cataclysm: Precognition system vs. luck system

Si Tiantian looked back at the old man with a serious face, "Grandpa Huang, your cows have been restless these days, often barking like crazy in the middle of the night, trying to escape from the cowshed."

Old Man Huang looked at her suspiciously, "How did you know?"

Si Tiantian had an inscrutable expression on her face. "They say cows have the sharpest eyes and can often see dirty things that we can't. Are they being asked to transport the Three Pure Ones statues? Or are they just getting lucky? Look, aren't they much more well-behaved on the way here? They're more obedient than before."

Old Man Huang thought for a moment and said, "It's true."

Si Tiantian raised her chin proudly, "So, do you think this trip was worth it? I even made three hundred yuan."

Old Man Huang glanced at her, then smiled, revealing his big white teeth. "You little girl, why didn't I realize before that you can be more deceiving than your master? Forget it, I'll charge you three hundred for this trip."

Si Tiantian also showed her small white teeth, "Hehe, Grandpa Huang is generous."

After she finished speaking, she jumped onto the ox cart, picked up a large khaki cloth bag, put it on her body, slung it across her waist, then lowered her head and rummaged inside, pulling out six pieces of yellow paper that looked like ghostly talismans.

"These are six high-level life-saving amulets I drew myself after burning incense and purifying myself. There are fifty-one of them, which is exactly three hundred."

Old man Huang quickly reached out and took it like a treasure, and was so happy that his teeth were not visible.

"Your master said that you are better at drawing talismans than him, but you are just lazy and don't want to do it. I offered you a thousand before, but you refused to do it. How come you drew so many this time?"

Si Tiantian looked up at the sky, smiling and pretending to be stupid.

Didn't she think that the old Taoist priest was a charlatan who was swindling people? It would be unscrupulous to sell these weird talismans, so she simply said that she was too lazy to draw them. But now it's different. The system is here, and the weirdness is coming too. Maybe this talisman is real.

Moreover, she saw a gray shadow in the field a few days ago. She originally thought that she was starving and saw it wrongly, but after Xiaodai's spoiler, she knew that it might be a forerunner sent by the weird game, so the set of tools left by the old Taoist priest became her treasures, and she had to pick up the art of drawing talismans again.

If it's true, then she will have one more way to save her life.

Old Man Huang didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that she didn't answer, he stopped asking. He deftly and skillfully folded the six talismans into a triangle and put them in his pocket. He patted them with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your calligraphy."

Then he turned his head to look at the three statues still tied to the ox cart and waved his hand, urging them to move them down quickly. Don't let them crush my oxen.

"This..." Si Tiantian turned to look at Si Jia, who was standing aside with his ears perked up, and smiled sweetly, "Brother, can you help me carry them to my room?"

Si Jia pointed at his nose in surprise, then looked at the three dirty statues that would get covered in mud if touched. His handsome face was full of resistance and displeasure.

"If you like these statues, I'll have a few gold ones made for you. How about putting these three in the yard first?"

"But this is a relic left to me by my master..." Si Tiantian said aggrievedly, but actually rolled her eyes in her heart.

[Humph, you know shit. This is a great treasure. After the arrival of the weirdness, some Buddhist temples and Taoist temples with great incense have become temporary safe havens for humans. Why? Because they have statues of gods that can protect the house and drive away evil spirits. The older the Buddha statues and the more offerings they receive, the longer they can provide protection.

The small Taoist temple left behind by the old Taoist priest may be dilapidated, but it has a long history. Hundreds of years ago, it was a famous and popular Taoist temple. The statues of the Three Pure Ones have never been replaced. The more worn they are, the more they remain useful. If the small Taoist temple wasn't going to be demolished to make way for a tourist area, I wouldn't even be able to move these three statues.

Suddenly, the Si family looked at the three shabby statues with their eyes full of light.

Si Jia couldn't help but grin, and in the blink of an eye, he changed his expression, "Since it's a relic, it can't be moved casually. I'll move it, I'll move it."

Si Xianzhi also walked forward with a smile, "Tiantian, your room is not big. There won't be much space left to put these three statues. It's better to put them in the living room. The living room is spacious and you can see them when you come down."

Si Tiantian glanced at the Si family members suspiciously. No one objected?

"That's fine too..."

So several men in the Si family, including the head of the Si family, Si Xianzhi, and the old man all rolled up their sleeves and came to help. They didn't say a word and let the peeling paint and ochre mud stains get on their expensive clothes. Instead, they looked quite happy.

The wealthy people who were watching silently nearby almost dropped their jaws. What was going on? Was the Si family going bankrupt? Si Xianzhi, the head of the Si family, actually became a porter himself?

Some people also noticed Si Tiantian. The wealthy circles in Hangzhou were well-informed, and the matter of the real and fake daughter of the Si family had spread far and wide. They had previously said that with how much Si Yan'er was favored in the Si family, even if the real daughter came back, she would not be able to surpass her.

But now, the Si family seems to dote on this real daughter even more, and they are willing to move even such a broken thing by themselves.

After the men of the Si family moved the statues to the living room with great effort, the old lady and Li Yunlan carefully wiped them with silk cloth. This left Si Tiantian dumbfounded. Is the Si family such a Taoist family?

This doubt went around in her mind for a while, and Si Tiantian was brought back to her senses by Old Man Huang's farewell.

Before leaving, Old Man Huang gave the Si family a meaningful look, and said to Si Tiantian with a smile, "Girl, if the Si family can't afford to support you, you can come to Grandpa Huang's house. Grandpa Huang will support you. You just need to herd cattle for me and draw a few talismans."

After he finished speaking, the old man waved his whip and drove the ox carts in a dashing manner. The three ox carts lined up in a row and drove away.

Old Mrs. Si frowned and said, "Hmph, this old guy wants to steal their Si family's money. Impossible."

She reached out from her handbag and pulled out a black card, handing it to Si Tiantian with a haughty expression, "You are my Si family's child. You can't bring shame to our Si family with your clothes, clothing, food, housing and transportation. Go buy some, and pick the most expensive and high-end ones."

Si Tiantian's eyes lit up, and she immediately took it respectfully with both hands, "Thank you, grandma."

She immediately developed a great liking for this first grandmother who gave her money to spend.

[Hehe, who said grandma favored boys over girls? It must be that Si Yan'er is not grandma's favorite. Grandma is wise and intelligent. No wonder in the book, among the ten people in the Si family, grandma always has the lowest favorability towards Si Yan'er and is the last to die. She must have discovered Si Yan'er's true face a long time ago.]

The old lady raised her eyebrows. The little girl was quite smart, worthy of being her bloodline.

The other members of the Si family were filled with regret when they saw this. In fact, they had also prepared cards, but they didn't expect the old lady to get there first. However, due to the old lady's authority in the family, they didn't dare to say anything and just followed her and took out their cards. Even Si Jia, the younger brother, gave a card with 50 million yuan.

Si Tian is so sweet, it’s great to be a rich family, but it’s a pity that weirdness will come soon, otherwise, with so many cards and money to spend, how wonderful the days would be!
