He was reborn and I wasn't!

Jiang Yan has been in the rivers and lakes for two years at least, so he naturally sees such clumsy tricks of stealing money very clearly.It's just that he was more concerned about his junior brother who fell to the ground than the money bag.Seeing that Shang Ning was fine, he stood up, glanced into the alleyway, turned his wrist over, and struck the copper coin held by his fingertips.

Immediately there was a sharp scream in the alley ahead, followed by a heavy fall to the ground.

With one kick of Jiang Yan's foot, he jumped.After one ups and downs, he stopped, and saw a man with dirty clothes and a sharp mouth lying down on the ground in front of him.

Jiang Yan stepped forward, stretched out his hand in the terrified gaze of the other party, and took his purse from the arms of the person in front of him.

In fact, there is not much money in the purse.Jiang Yan suffered losses in this area before, so he had already divided up the money in several parts, and put it in various places on himself and Shang Ning.Big money such as silver bills are carried close to the body, followed by gold and silver nudes, which are placed in the inner pocket of the clothes.The last is broken silver and copper plates, which are hung on the waist for easy access on weekdays.

Jiang Yan didn't act harshly just now, because he thought that the year was approaching, and the people who stole money might also be the ones who couldn't make money.It’s just that he didn’t expect that he looked like a healthy man now. He glanced at the man on the ground and sighed: “You have hands and feet, and you’re a man. You don’t look like you’re sick. Why do you need to do such a disgraceful thing?"

The people on the ground did not speak.

Jiang Yan didn't expect that someone who was used to stealing and doing nothing would realize it all at once, so he just said this and hit the copper plate in his hand, unlocking the acupuncture points on the legs of the people on the ground.

The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks quickly got up, glanced at Jiang Yan, picked up the two copper coins on the ground, and ran away.

Jiang Yan ignored him, but slowly walked back to his junior brother.

A small head protruded from the shadow of the alley on the side, with a mess of hair on the head and a dirty face, but a pair of eyes that were very agile. It seemed to be about the same size as Shang Ning.The child probed his head, and when he saw Jiang Yan looking over, he looked at them with some embarrassment.

Jiang Yan saw that this should be a girl, he smiled and said: "Thank you for your reminder just now, if you don't think it's too little, you can take these few copper coins." He said, pouring all the money in the purse into hand, then picked up the broken silver again, gathered the remaining copper plate with his hand, and stretched it towards the small head on the opposite side.

The little head hesitated for a moment, then walked out a little timidly.Wearing tattered clothes and a dirty face, she looked like a little beggar begging on the street.She glanced at Jiang Yan's smile, then at the copper plate in Jiang Yan's hand, tangled her hands behind her back for a while, and then said, "I don't want these copper coins, can you teach me martial arts?" The reason why she helped these two people just now Shouting, just in the hope of asking for some reward later.But seeing that this person knows martial arts, she doesn't want money anymore.

Jiang Yan wanted to laugh, he thought that this little girl was quite good at counting, and practicing martial arts was much more cost-effective than earning a few copper coins.But he thought about it again, to make a little girl want to practice martial arts, it must be because she is often bullied.

Jiang Yan looked at her bony shoulders exposed from her tattered collar, and had an idea in her heart."What's your name?" he asked.

The little beggar said: "My name is Xiaohua."

Jiang Yan smiled, his eyebrows were curved, and he looked very friendly. He said, "Then Xiao Hua, can you do laundry?"

Xiaohua didn't understand that she asked if she could practice martial arts, so why the other party turned around and asked him if he could do laundry.She was hesitating with her hands behind her back, when she heard the other party say: "If you know how to do laundry, I'll hire you to do it for me."

Shang Ning turned to look at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan continued: "A small pot of clothes will give you three copper coins, and a large pot will give you five copper coins. I can teach you martial arts when you come to do the laundry. But practicing martial arts is a very long process. It's better not to try."

Xiaohua nodded immediately, and said: "Yes, yes, I will study hard." After she finished speaking, she thought for a while, then quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I will also do laundry well."

Seeing her cute appearance, Jiang Yan couldn't help but smiled and said: "Okay, I understand. Then you can come and wash our clothes every five days." After he finished speaking, he remembered that she had spoken out for them just now.Thinking that this is a little girl after all, Jiang Yan asked, "You reminded us just now, aren't you afraid of being retaliated by the other party later?"

Xiaohua raised her head, her dirty little face was full of complacency, and said: "I know an old man, although he drinks and sleeps all day long, but his martial arts are very good, he won't let me be bullied."

Jiang Yan wondered: "Then why don't you let him teach you martial arts?"

When Xiao Hua heard this, all the complacent look disappeared, and she said with a downcast, "He said that my bones are not good, and it's useless to learn, and he doesn't want to teach me."

When Jiang Yan heard this, he thought it was nonsense. There are so many martial arts practitioners in the world, and not all of them are geniuses in martial arts.He thinks it should be the girl's uncle who is not very strong in martial arts himself, he is of the kind who is physically strong and proficient in foreign martial arts, so it is inconvenient to teach others.Or the other party thinks this is a little girl and is unwilling to teach her.He thought for a while, and said: "No matter how good your bones are, you can practice martial arts. Even if you don't become a master in the end, it's good to keep fit."

Xiaohua was very happy when she heard the words, and nodded repeatedly.She thinks this big brother is really kind, not only good-looking, but also kind-hearted.

Jiang Yan smiled and said: "We will change places tomorrow, so we won't take you there today. You can wait for us here tomorrow morning, and we will show you the way."

Xiaohua nodded.She was begging on the street every day, and at a young age, she knew how to read words, and now she saw that Jiang Yan and the others were leaving, so she waved her hands wittily, turned around and trotted away along the alley.

Jiang Yan also took Shang Ning back.

On the way back, Shang Ning kept silent.Although he was expressionless as usual, Jiang Yan just felt that his junior brother was not very happy.Jiang Yan thought for a while, remembering that they were discussing the Chinese New Year before the purse was stolen, he tried to pick up the previous topic, but Shang Ning didn't reply much.And if he wanted to follow up and ask, Shang Ning would walk very fast with his legs open.

After returning to the inn, Jiang Yan thought that his junior brother had nowhere to run, so he hugged Shang Ning as soon as he entered the room, pulled him to the bed, and said, "What's wrong with you, why are you unhappy? "

Shang Ning struggled a few times without breaking away from his senior brother, so he had to sit on Jiang Yan's lap with red ears.All the anger in his heart was tossed away now, and he asked, "Why did senior brother ask someone else to wash our clothes?"

Jiang Yan looked bewildered, wondering why this made his junior brother angry.He thought for a while, then said: "I'm so lazy, if I can let someone else do it, I'll just do it. Besides, I think that little girl is pretty pitiful. It's going to snow soon. I'll let her earn some copper coins to buy a thick dress." That's fine." After speaking, he wondered if his junior brother would feel sorry for the money for him, so he said: "Don't worry, senior brother has a lot of money, don't be afraid."

Of course, Shang Ning would not be angry because of this.As soon as he thought of his senior brother's warm clothes being touched by others, he felt unspeakably awkward, and said, "I can wash it."

Jiang Yan stroked his hair and said with a smile: "Silly boy, it will snow in a few days, can you wash it then? Even if you wash it with hot water, roll up your sleeves, even if there is only a small crack, You also have to suffer from the wind and cold on this arm. You don't care, brother, I feel pain in my heart."

Shang Ning paused, and now even his face began to blush quietly.His tone softened, and he said: "Then, the clothes and trousers can't be washed by others." The coat is fine, and the brother's close-fitting clothes can't be touched by others.

Jiang Yan thought that his junior brother was shy.No wonder Shang Ning had to wash himself and his obscene clothes by hand when he was in Jinling City.When he was in Jinling City in the past, he didn't wash his underwear himself, but handed it to the servant girl at home.But those were the people who had served him since he was a child, he didn't feel anything.Now if he really wanted him to hand over his underwear to a little girl to wash, he felt ashamed himself, so he said: "I must be the one doing the washing, don't worry. I won't let others touch it casually."

Shang Ning nodded.

After Jiang Yan solved the problem, he asked the store to bring hot water up. After the two washed up, they lay down on the bed together and fell asleep hugging each other.
