Chapter 158

Looking at the neatly stacked firewood in the kitchen, Li Jian was extremely satisfied, so he squatted down and took out 150 coins from his sleeves, and counted them one by one to little Ah Sheng.He said to the little Asheng: "There are 150 coins in total here, thirty for each of you. If you have more, you will be rewarded for arranging the firewood neatly. But remember to wash the dishes after dinner." Ah Sheng knew that Li Jianxin was helping him, so he didn't refuse, but just put the copper coins in a tattered purse.Seeing this, Li Jianxin silently kept the matter of the tattered purse in his heart, and started to work.

The stove was burning vigorously, and a wisp of smoke drifted away along the chimney. Li Jianxin was busy working on the stove.The little girl watched Li Jianxin cooking, but she moved a small stool to the side of the stove, flipped it up, and stood with her support on the stove, watching Li Jianxin's pot and spoon flying up and down in a daze. "Why don't you go out to play?" Li Jianxin said to the little girl while cooking.

"Uncle, are you usually the cook?" The little girl stood on the bench and said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm usually the one who cooks. I don't think you guys are full this morning, why don't you eat some more later." Li Jianxin said as he put the dishes in the pot on the plate, and Xiao The girl looked at Li Jianxin's busy figure and wanted to help, but she couldn't stand firmly on her feet. She accidentally fell off the stool and was about to hit the ground.

Li Jianxin hurriedly held the plate in one hand, picked up the little girl with the other, put the plate away in his arms, put the little girl on the ground, and said to her: "Be careful next time, The kitchen is still too dangerous for you now, so go out and play with your brother." Then he bent down and put the little girl down.

"Uncle, please do your work first. I won't help here anymore." The little girl said and trotted out of the kitchen.

After working for a long while, Li Jianxin finally finished the breakfast, and started yelling at the people in the room to come out to eat.

After Li Jianxin put the dishes on the tray, Li Jianxin called the four children over, and said to A Sheng: "It's noon now, you must be hungry too, come and eat something." Li Jianxin said Rubbing the hair of Rou Asheng, Asheng swallowed his saliva, looked back at his little friend, and then agreed.

During breakfast, the little girl ran to Tieniu's side, looked at Tieniu's hill-like rice, and said in amazement: "Brother Tieniu, do you usually eat so much?"

"Yeah, you can only grow so tall if you eat as much as I do." Tie Niu showed his steel teeth, but he took out a chicken leg and handed it to the little girl, "Eat more too."

The little girl timidly took the chicken leg, quickly nodded to Tie Niu to express her gratitude, said some words of thanks in her mouth, and then walked among the group of children, tearing the chicken leg apart and sharing it with everyone.

Li Jianxin looked at the group of children who were only eating white rice and some vegetables, and knew that these children were afraid of strangers.He picked up a plate of chicken legs and walked over, saying: "There are still a lot of chicken legs here. We can't finish them. If you have an appetite, help us eliminate them!"

Little Asheng looked at the plate of chicken legs in front of him, with tears in his eyes, but he reached out to take the plate of chicken legs with tears in his eyes, and said solemnly to Li Jianxin, "Thank you, uncle."

"You guys, just call me brother, I'm only twelve or thirteen years older than you." Li Jianxin rubbed Xiao Asheng's hair as he spoke, and said again: "Eat first, or else When it gets cold later, it’s easy to eat and spoil your stomach.”

"Thank you brother." The four children said to Li Jianxin in unison, and began to divide up the chicken legs in the plate, but Xiao Asheng reached out to take a chicken leg, took out a piece of sackcloth from his pocket, and wrapped it up.

Seeing this, Li Jianxin asked: "Ah Sheng, are you going to bring it to your grandma?" Little Ah Sheng nodded sheepishly, but he felt that what he was doing was not good and he was inevitably a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter." Li Jianxin looked at Xiao Asheng's expression, remembered that he had done the same thing before, and just said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I still have a dish in the kitchen for you to take back. You guys Eat first, and I will get you a clean bag to pack later."

"Thank you brother, I really don't know how to repay you." Xiao Asheng said gratefully.

"You don't need to thank me. You come to help me with my work. It's normal for me to pay you. Why do I need to say thank you?" Li Jianxin stood up and said to A Sheng: "Hurry up! Eat it, or it will be gone later." Li Jianxin said and pointed to the other three little guys who had already eaten and their mouths were full of oil.

After eating, Li Jianxin didn't let the four little guys wash the dishes, but arranged for Wang Jin to take the four little guys home from the back door.

As for why he didn't go by himself, the main reason was that he felt that it was not good for him to meet other people's adults in his current appearance. A child came home.Of course, the above is what he said to fool Wang Jin. The main reason why he didn't want to go was that he didn't want other people in the rivers and lakes to notice that he had something to do with these children, so that these children would not be threatened by others. Category.

Looking at Li Jianxin who was thinking about something, Liu Yiyi interrupted Li Jianxin's thoughts.She could only hear her say: "Brother Jianxin, I think you like those children quite a lot, why don't you keep them?"

Li Jianxin came back to his senses, and said to Liu Yiyi: "Actually, I also thought about taking them in, but I always felt that something was wrong. First of all, they have an old mother who is raising them, although the days are tighter. , but it can be regarded as having relatives to take care of them. It is not beautiful for me to take them in forcibly;
The second is that most of us here are people from the rivers and lakes, and we have more enemies than one. If these children are taken in, they will inevitably be held hostage by our enemies to threaten us in the future. This is to trap them and ourselves. in a dangerous situation;
Finally, I think that instead of taking them in, it is better to teach them to use their own labor in exchange for rewards, so that they will not easily go astray in the future, which may be of some help to them in the future. "

"You think so far, I don't even know if you are the brother Jianxin I know." Liu Yiyi said with a surprised face. In her impression, it is rare to see Li Jianxin because of a A trifle that took so much brains.

"Actually, I don't want to think so much, but what should I say? I can't bear the responsibility for their lives. I can only do my best to help them and make their lives easier, so that they won't be so miserable. Tight.

Give them a happy childhood if you can.In this way, even when troubled times come, there can be a little warmth in their hearts. "Li Jianxin started waving his hands as he spoke, and had already entered the state of persuading himself.

Yi Er at the side heard Li Jianxin's words, and couldn't help interjecting: "Then, do you want to teach these children a little kung fu?"

Li Jianxin looked back at Yi Er and said solemnly: "I'm still considering this, mainly because I'm afraid that they will step into this river and lake road like me. After so many years of wandering, I found that this river and lake road is not so easy to walk. Yes, if possible, I don't want them to go on this road."

"Since you're talking about troubled times, why don't you teach them some kung fu? Let them protect themselves in troubled times?" Yi Er looked at Li Jianxin and said, he felt that having martial arts was more conducive to self-protection, rather than waiting for help from others .

"I've thought about this too, but I think teaching them martial arts may lead them into a deeper vortex. I discussed this with Cao Zhengxiu before, and his philosophy is 'a chivalrous man uses martial arts to break the ban', as long as he has martial arts In any place, there will inevitably be laws that are underestimated, and greater evil will be more likely to breed. Although I don't agree with his ideas, I have also considered it carefully. Yi Er, let me ask you, do you say that murder is against the law?"

Yi Er couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard Li Jianxin's question and said, "Jianxin, I'm a killer. Isn't it funny for you to ask me if murderers are not breaking the law?"

"Don't change the subject, just speak your mind." Li Jianxin stared straight at Yi Er and said.

"Killing is naturally against the law." Yi Er shrugged helplessly.

"Yeah, murder is indeed against the law. What's the difference between a hero killing someone and a killer killing someone? In the eyes of the common people, maybe a hero kills all villains. But as long as you are a human being, you have personal grievances. You know martial arts. People you don't like don't know martial arts, will you teach them a lesson?
How many heroes in the world have killed innocent people by mistake because they were deceived?How many heroes of the rivers and lakes have feuded with another hero because of some personal grievances of their own, and they will never communicate with each other?Once these bad debts are turned over, they become a ledger.

The simplest example is, if one day I want to kill Zhang Fengwu, brother Qin Lang Qin will definitely stop in front of Zhang Fengwu.The things I do are chivalrous, and the things Brother Qin does are also chivalrous. We can't tell the difference between chivalrous and righteous in the end, so if possible, I hope they will never set foot on the road of rivers and lakes, so I don't really want to teach When they practice martial arts, just let them be ordinary people. "

Listening to Li Jianxin's words, Yi Er couldn't help laughing and said: "It's better for us to be killers, but to take money from people to eliminate disasters for others."

Li Jianxin couldn't help asking Yi Er: "If one day, the pavilion wants you to kill me? Then will you kill me or not?"

"Impossible," Yi Er laughed as he said that. He recently started to take Lao Ba's class, and he also began to understand the inside story of the Jingjing Pavilion, so he swore to Li Jianxin: "Our Jingjing Pavilion will not be cold. It's something that touches the hearts of you retirees."

Qin Lang, who was on the side, listened to what Li Jianxin said just now, came over and said to Yi Er: "Jianxin is indeed right. Sometimes I also wonder if I have become someone else's knife to a certain extent. There is a sentence As the saying goes, 'I don't kill Boren, Boren will die because of me.' In fact, after walking in the world for so many years, I gradually understand that the world is not black and white.

To be honest, I didn’t have a very good sense of the Pavilion of Panic before. I always thought that the Pavilion of Panic was a group of lunatics who only knew how to kill people. A lunatic who only knows how to kill.Later, I met my wife, and then some things happened. In short, the rivers and lakes are not black and white. No one is golden like a saint, and there will always be some stains. "

"That's right, there are so many good guys in Jingjing Pavilion who are as kind and righteous as Jianxin." Yi Er said stinkingly.

"Okay, don't talk so deeply, I'm in a bad mood." Li Jianxin quickly waved his hands and said.After hearing Li Jianxin's words, everyone cast doubtful looks at Li Jianxin, meaning you started it first?

Li Jianxin waved his hands helplessly, took out [Huainanzi] from his sleeve, and sat quietly in the gazebo, pretending to be absorbed in it.Seeing Li Jianxin slipping away, everyone simply dispersed, but went to their own business.

Li Jianxin sat down for a while when someone knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Li Jianxin replied.

"I'm Li Sheng from the Wang family in Taiyuan. It was my master who asked me to find the young master to go home. Please open the door." A male voice outside the door replied.

Li Jianxin thought that this person was looking for Wang Jin, so he put away the book in his hand, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll come." Then he walked to the front yard, reached the gate, and stretched out his hand Opened the door.

Outside the door is a middle-aged man, his cultivation is not bad, he can be considered a master in the first-class realm.Li Jianxin said to the middle-aged man: "You come in first, your young master has gone out."

Li Sheng glanced at Li Jianxin, and couldn't help asking curiously: "I don't know what the master's name is?"

"I'm Li Jianxin, let's come in and talk, it's windy outside." Li Jianxin said and made a gesture of invitation.Only then did Li Sheng follow Li Jianxin into the house, looking at the huge courtyard, Li Sheng couldn't help but said: "It's my young master who asked Li Daxia to take care of him."

Li Jianxin knew that this was a polite remark, so he didn't take it seriously, so he just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you are here this time to let Wang Jin go home."

"It's just like this. The young master has been out for more than half a year and has not returned home. Just before, Daxia Li handed over a letter, which made the head of the family and the mistress feel relieved. Isn't it almost the end of the year? Master? My mother was talking about the young master, so she asked me to come and look for him to go home." Li Sheng said respectfully.

"Okay, then sit down for a while. Wang Jin has gone out to do something, and he will be back later." Li Jianxin said and brought Li Sheng a pot of hot tea and some snacks.He said to Li Sheng again: "Come on, drink some hot tea to warm up your body." Then he poured a bowl of hot tea for Li Sheng.

Li Sheng picked up the tea bowl and said, "Thank you very much." Then he picked up the tea bowl and blew on it before taking a sip. Then he put down the tea bowl and said to Li Jianxin: "Master Li, my young master has not been here while he was living here. Please stop causing trouble to you."

Li Jianxin felt strange when he heard Li Sheng's words, and remembered Wang Jin's usual experience of cooking with indifference, and couldn't help but smile: "It didn't cause any trouble, and I learned a lot from him. "

"That's good, that's good." Li Sheng breathed a sigh of relief as he spoke.
