Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 87 The woman in red
"Haha. It's been a long night, I don't want to sleep, it just happened to happen."

Naturally, Jiang Nan couldn't admit to following him.

"Brother Jiang, you called me, but something happened?" Kong Kong'er was skeptical.

"It's true." Jiang Nan nodded: "Brother, just now, were you doing 'chivalry'?"

"Uh... not bad. Just try my best."

Jiangnan had already seen them all, so Kong Konger did not deny it.

What's more, Jiang Nan put it mildly.

"I don't know if you have ever thought about how the rich man will react when he finds out that he has lost his gold and silver?" Jiang Nan asked in a serious voice.

"What kind of reaction can there be? Mostly it is to report to the authorities and investigate the suspects. Unfortunately, they don't know who stole... the gold and silver." Kong Kong'er said indifferently.

"What about these poor households?" Jiang Nan pointed to the dilapidated houses in front of him.

"Heaven's windfall, they are naturally happy to buy food and clothing."

He answered empty-handed.

I don't understand Jiangnan, why ask such a simple question.

"A group of poor people who don't even have a few coppers on weekdays suddenly take a large piece of gold and silver to spend. Do you think this is normal?" Jiang Jiang asked again.

"It's really not normal."

Kong Kong'er's face changed slightly.

Chi asked: "You mean, these poor people who have been gifted spend their gold and silver, which will attract the attention of others?"

"That's right." Jiang Nan nodded: "The rich families lost their gold and silver, and these poor people immediately gained more gold and silver than they could possibly have. What do you think will be the result?"

Kong Kong'er's face changed drastically, his lips moved a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Nan ignored it and said it for him:
"This Lishan County is so big. These poor people spend their windfall wealth, and they will definitely not be able to hide it from the eyes and ears of the rich. The rich will definitely say that the gold and silver of those people were stolen from his family. At that time, Not only will the gold and silver be taken back by the rich, but most of these poor people will also face lawsuits and suffer imprisonment."

"Even, the family is ruined!"

Jiangnan's last sentence made Kong Kong'er's face turn pale in an instant.

Jiang Nan still didn't give up, and continued: "I don't know if you have done similar 'benevolent deeds' before. If you have done it, you might as well go back and find out what happened to the poor people you helped in this way. It's changed. Did it change the fate of the poor, or..."

Jiang Nan didn't say any more.

Kong Konger is not an enemy, it is enough to remind him of the possible "evil consequences" of "good deeds" such as "robbing the rich and helping the poor".

There was no need to stab him directly in the heart.

"Then what should I do now? I just want to help them!" Kong Kong'er looked bitter: "Is it wrong to help the poor?"

"Of course not." Jiang Nan said with certainty.

In order not to destroy the kindness of a rogue, he took the trouble to advise Kong Konger.

"Actually, you can change the way, don't directly give them this kind of valuable 'stolen goods' that will leave obvious flaws."

"You can replace it with a bag of grain, a small string of copper coins...etc."

"These, in the eyes of people in the world like you and me, may feel that they are too little and useless. However, for those ordinary people who are really poor enough to need relief, it is already a surprise."

"That bag of food may help a family survive a cold winter of hunger and cold."

"That small string of copper coins may also help a child who looks down on illness to survive Yan Jun's call..."

"And this will not attract the attention or covet of the bullies and gentry."

"In particular, you also need to know that a windfall from the sky may not only bring about unexpected disasters from the outside world, but also destroy the motivation of a person or family."

"Motivated?" Kong Kong'er was obviously puzzled.

"Uh. Let me tell you a story." Jiang Nan patted his forehead.

When people from two worlds communicate, sometimes there is a generation gap in language.

"Once upon a time, there was a farmer who had a fertile field. He worked hard every day to cultivate it, and the grain he harvested was barely enough to keep us fed."

"Then, one day, he was working in the fields. A rabbit came running out of nowhere and crashed its head against a stump in his field."

"The farmer didn't do anything, just picked up a fat rabbit for nothing, and ate meat that was more delicious than grain. Naturally, he was very happy. I thought, if I can pick up a rabbit that was killed every day in the future, that would be nice!"

"So, I no longer worked hard on farming, but just stood by the tree stump, waiting for the rabbit to run over and crash into the tree stump to death."

"As a result, naturally there was no second rabbit."

"And the crops in his field, because of his slack, were barren and there was no harvest."

"Its ending can be imagined!"

Jiang Nan paused.

"The gold and silver you gave to these poor people is like the rabbit that accidentally broke into the farmer's field and killed it. There is one and only one chance."

"But this only one time of getting something for nothing will make the beneficiary, like the farmer, arouse inertia, have a mentality of getting something for nothing, and give up the original means of earning a living."

"Poverty is not terrible, what is terrible is the slack thoughts that poor people should not have!"

"You can send charcoal in the snow, but you can't directly invite them to live in a gorgeous greenhouse. Because, you can't guarantee that you can always provide them with such a greenhouse. After they have adapted to the temperature of the greenhouse, and then return to the ice and snow, there will be nothing left. Freeze to death."

Kong Konger nodded subconsciously, as if realizing something.

Jiangnan continued:

"Of course, exchanging food or other urgently needed items for poor people is definitely not as convenient as sending gold and silver directly, and the people who can be helped in the same period of time will become very limited."

"However, this is the only safest way."

"The world is so big, and there are so many people in difficulties. If you want to benefit the world and save all living beings, that's what saints should do."

"We and other mortals, within the scope of our ability and on the premise of not leaving any hidden dangers, try our best to help some. It is enough to live up to our hearts and be worthy of our hearts."

Kong Konger chewed Jiangnan's words, and suddenly bowed to the ground:
"Empty to be taught!"

"If Brother Jiang hadn't reminded me, I don't know how many innocent people would have been harmed by my self-righteous kindness!"

Kong Konger looked scared.

"Haha. You just didn't think of it for a while." Jiang Nan helped Kong Kong'er up.

The two communicated a few more words, and began to "take" back the gold and silver that had been sent out just now from door to door.

Soon, the package on Kong Konger's back became bulging again.

Jiangnan made several suggestions to Kong Konger.

For example, it is possible to "rob the rich" in this place and "help the poor" in another place, so that the rich households cannot find the poor people who enjoy relief.

For another example, a charitable organization can be set up to hand over all the money obtained from "robbing the rich" to the organization, and then the organization will exchange it for the food and clothing needed by the poor people... In this way, division of labor and cooperation, each exhibits its strengths, The efficiency and scope of "relief for the poor" can be greatly improved.

Even "relief to the poor" does not necessarily have to be distributed as food, clothing and other items.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.You can use the income from "robbing the rich" to set up a skill school to teach skills to the people who don't have a skill and can't find a job, so that they can become useful people who can support their families by themselves...

Kong Kong'er was amazed to hear that, and immediately wanted to invite Jiang Nan to be the person in charge of this "charitable organization".

Jiang Nan quickly waved his hand and refused.

Jiangnan knows that it is not easy to be the person in charge.

It is obvious that what they do is good deeds, but what they get is often infamy.

Whether it's because a mouse droppings ruined the whole pot of rice, or the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, or it's rotten from the root...

Kong Kong'er was relieved when the last piece of gold that was given away was also taken back.

Kong Kong'er was going to return the gold and silver in the parcel to the rich man's house, and waited until he had completely straightened out Jiang Nan's proposal and decided on a perfect plan before "playing chivalry".

Just about to part ways with Jiangnan, a loud shout suddenly came from the night:
"Bold thief, how dare you commit crimes on my territory, Li Qianqian!"

Jiangnan and the two followed their prestige, and saw a group of red shadows as bright as a fire, flying down from the roof next to them.

What was faster than Hong Ying was a nine-foot long whip in the opponent's hand.

Following Hong Ying's pounce, the long whip viciously lashed at Kong Kong'er's wrist holding the package.

Kong Kong'er, as the successor of the Kong Kong Sect, naturally reacted extremely sensitively.

With a slight flash of figure, Hong Ying's long whip has been dodged.

Jiang Nan's feet also moved, and he exited the attack range of the long whip.

"what?"

Hong Ying's long whip fell into the air, he let out a light sigh, and stood still on the ground.

Under the faint moonlight, there was actually a young woman in red.

That kind of red is extremely gorgeous and dazzling.

"You two thieves are quite capable of evading my blow from Li Qianqian." The woman in red glanced at Kong Konger and Jiangnan, and said in surprise.

"Did the girl have some misunderstanding?" Jiang Nan asked.

"What misunderstanding?" The woman in red scolded coldly: "You two thieves actually stole into my grandfather's house. Haven't you heard of my name, Li Qianqian?"

"never heard before."

Jiang Nan shook his head, telling the truth.

"You..." The woman in red choked when she heard the words.

The pretense failed, and it was a bit slapped.

"Oh, so you are the legendary Li Qianqian!" Kong Konger suddenly exclaimed.

"It's my god!" The woman in red heard the words, regained her confidence, and said proudly.

"This Miss Li is the beloved daughter of the master of the Six Doors." Kong Kong'er introduced to Jiangnan in a low voice.

He didn't deliberately avoid the woman in red.

This Li Qianqian has a special status. Kong Konger has seen Jiangnan's methods of dealing with the tall and thin man of Xuanbingmen, and he is afraid that Jiangnan will not know his identity, and if he strikes too hard.

Jiangnan nodded.

Understand that this should be a "Second Generation Catch".

Of course, Jiangnan had heard of the famous special department of Six Doors.

As a violent organization that specializes in dealing with major civil cases, its strength is not much worse than that of the Zhen Fu Division.

The difference is that the Zhenfu Division is dedicated to maintaining the "Three Chapters of the Covenant Law", and it mainly faces the forces of the world.

The six doors mainly deal with the common people of Da Zhou.

In this world, martial arts are prosperous, and even many people belonging to the Great Zhou who are not from Jianghu forces have practiced martial arts, even to a very high level.

These people have committed major crimes, and the town governor can't control them, and the local yamen can't control them, so it's the turn of the people from the six doors to take action.

Of course, to a certain extent, the businesses of Zhenfu Division and Six Doors are actually partly duplicated.

It depends on who takes over first.

The daughter of the head of the six doors, in terms of status, is no less than the heir or young master of a first-class power.

The relationship between the empty door and the six doors is like a mouse and a cat.

Kong Kong'er naturally had detailed information about the six doors, so when he heard the name of the woman in red, he recognized her identity.

"You little thief, you have some knowledge." Hearing that Kong Kong'er knew her, the red-clothed woman was very satisfied, and said proudly, "Since you know it's the god who caught you, why don't you hurry up and catch him?"

Kong Konger vigilantly looked around and the roof where the woman in red appeared, but did not find any other people from the other six doors.With a sneer:
"If you want to catch me without a fight, it depends on whether you have the ability!"

As soon as he moved his feet, he was several feet away.

Obviously, he wanted to use the No.30 Six Strategies.

Unexpectedly, the woman in red didn't chase him.

Kong Kong'er ran a few feet further, seeing the woman in red still staying where she was, unexpectedly stopped and walked back.

"Why don't you come after me?" Kong Konger asked in surprise.

He originally planned to lure the woman in red away alone, and then use his light skills to escape, so as not to implicate Jiangnan.

Unexpectedly, the woman in red didn't play her cards according to the routine, and came to chase after herself, the first runner with "stolen goods".

The woman in red did not answer Kong Konger's question, but turned to Jiangnan and asked:

"Why don't you run away?"

"I was just passing by here, why did I run away?" Jiang Nan said lightly.

"Huh?" The woman in red obviously didn't believe it: "You said, aren't you and him accomplices?"

"I can testify that Brother Jiang really happened to pass by." Kong Kong'er said.

"Hehe. You are a thief, can you testify for your accomplice?!" The woman in red sneered.

Kong Konger was taken aback.

Only then did he realize that in his own capacity, he really couldn't testify for Jiangnan.

Slightly apologetic, he smiled awkwardly at Jiangnan: "Brother Jiang, I have hurt you."

Jiang Nan waved his hand and asked the woman in red, "What do you want, Miss?"

"Both of you have to go back to the Yamen with me for investigation."

"I'm afraid this matter, I'm sorry."

Jiangnan Chong Kong Konger nodded slightly, moved his feet, and ran in the opposite direction to Kong Konger.

Jiangnan already understood Kong Konger's plan just now, and he was not going to continue to entangle with this red-clothed woman named Li Qianqian.

The most annoying thing in Jiangnan is this kind of "second generation".

You can't fight, you can't kill, you can't kill.

Hitting the young ones will attract the old ones.After killing, it will attract revenge from the entire force.

Not worth the candle.

The most troublesome.

So, I plan to separate from Kong Konger.

If you can't afford it, you can always hide it!
Kong Kong'er understood immediately, followed his feet, and ran away in the direction just now.

Unexpectedly, the woman in red still did not chase after Kong Konger who was carrying the stolen goods, but whipped at the departing Jiangnan, trying to wrap Jiangnan Benxing's body around him.

Jiang Nan turned his body slightly and kept stepping.

The red-clothed woman's long whip fell to the ground, and she drew back her whip and hurriedly chased after her.

Kong Kong'er, who had only run a few feet away, stopped in surprise again.

Obviously he is the protagonist of the theft!
Why, this legendary goddess in red, just doesn't chase after herself?

Could it be that Brother Jiang is handsome? !

Let's not mention Kong Konger's surprise for now.

On the other side, Jiangnan used the Riding the Wind and Crossing the Sea technique, and he ran tens of feet away in a blink of an eye.It's a pity that the movement of the woman in red was not much slower than that of Jiangnan, and she caught up closely.

"Sure enough, she is the daughter of the master of the six doors, and the lightness kung fu she has learned is high-end!" Jiang Nan sighed in his heart.

However, at this time, he had no intention of using his magical powers to steal the opponent's martial arts.

Because Jiangnan suddenly remembered that there was still my aunt who hadn't stolen it.

Jiangnan does not lack martial arts, what is lacking is the realm of cultivation.

If he stole another lightness kung fu or whip technique from the red-clothed woman, it would not be of great help to him if he reached a small level.It's better to keep it and steal Auntie.

My aunt is also from the Ye family in Dongdao. If she can steal the "Riding the Wind and Sea Movement" from her again, after the superposition, Jiangnan's movement skills will definitely improve greatly.

As the first martial art Jiangnan acquired, as the opponents he came into contact with became stronger and stronger, Jiangnan found that the Xiaocheng level was obviously not enough.

Fortunately, with the increase in the number of times of use, Jiangnan also found that his "Riding the Wind and Crossing the Sea Body Technique" has made great progress.

If it can be superimposed once, it will definitely be able to break through to the Dacheng realm successfully.

"I hope Auntie is strong enough!"

Jiangnan thought.

For some reason, I inexplicably remembered the picture I saw when I was healing my aunt.

Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat.

With this distraction, the woman in red finally caught up and whipped the long whip towards Jiangnan again.
