Chapter Thirteen Doing Good Deeds

  "I used to be a scavenger!"

  Li Xie repeated a sentence, then shouted: "Once, I dreamed that one day I could fly high and open a car, bring money to the places where I wandered, and throw money at those who wandered with me!"

  "Yes, I'm not doing it for their sake, but to let them know that the person they once looked down on will also have a day when they're envied and jealous!"

  "Yes, I am for the sake of satisfying my vanity!"

  "Today, as fate would have it, I unwittingly walked here, and I thought I could get this kind of satisfaction from you!"

  "But when I see you guys, it's like seeing myself from a few days ago! I even feel a sense of familiarity!"

  "I suddenly realized that seeking vanity and satisfaction from you is so shameful! So despicable!"

  "I have come here today by fate, by God's calling! I am here, I have come to help you, with a sincere heart!"

  "Kano! Put the money on the ground!"

  A crowd of poor people still took Li Xie's words as a nonsensical speech from some guy with a bad case of trigeminal neuralgia, and didn't pay attention. But when they saw Ka No pouring out gold coins on the ground, nearly a thousand of them, shining brightly under the sunlight, representing wealth and splendor, these poor people were suddenly enlightened. They finally realized that this bald-headed man in front of them was not just someone with trigeminal neuralgia, but rather he was a sick nerve! Commonly known as a psychopath!

  However, the poor people only showed greedy eyes, but no one dared to come up and rob them. They knew that if they robbed, no one here could escape, and it was possible that everyone would be killed because the dynasty absolutely did not allow a lowly poor person to rob the property of a noble!

  "This money! Will be given to you!"

  Li Ye's one sentence was undoubtedly a heavy bomb thrown into the poor people! It exploded in front of more than 300 poor people, causing a commotion!

  They had never seen so many gold coins in their lives, and this madman actually said that these gold coins were to be given to them! This was the most absurd thing they had ever heard in their lives! It was only natural that it caused a stir among the poor people.

  Li Xie didn't continue speaking, pausing for a moment to let them discuss and absorb the sudden impact of several hundred gold coins!

  At this time, a somewhat angry voice came from the carriage behind Li Xie: "Is he here to show off his wealth?"

  The door of the carriage moved slightly and was about to open.

  "Everyone be quiet!" Li Xieyu pressed his hands down and shouted loudly: "Giving people fish is not as good as teaching people how to fish!"

  The carriage door opened a gap of about two palms, but then stopped again. A white figure could be vaguely seen inside, and a voice of admiration came out: "What a philosophical sentence!"

  "This is just a bunch of nonsense!" Li Xie shouted loudly again: "We're all going to starve to death, not teaching people how to fish, but also giving them fish? I've been wandering and begging too, it's not that we want to live this kind of life, but we were born into a bad situation! We don't have money, no rich family, otherwise, who would be willing to sleep on the streets all day, feeling aimless? Who would be willing to stretch out their hands to beg from people and make themselves so lowly? We're not without survival skills, nor are we lazy, it's just that we can't enter society, who will give us land to farm? Who will give us jobs to do? Our appearance makes us only able to deal with trash! Wanting to change our image, but no capital to do so! You tell me, is this right?"

  "That's right!"

  "This nobleman seems to have wandered around indeed!"

  "Definitely, otherwise how would he be so clear with us?"

  "It seems he's here to help us, he's not crazy, he's telling the truth!"

  "The God of the earth is above, forgive me for just doubting this sincere person."

  "Alright, settle down, everyone listen to me." Li Xie's words from his personal experience had successfully integrated himself into these poor people and finally made all the poor people take his words seriously. At this moment, they were all quiet, waiting for Li Xie to continue speaking.

  Li Xie nodded and continued: "I'll give you the capital, let you change your ways! However, remember that money is the root of all evil. Of course, the one who says this must be very rich, otherwise how would he know about the root of all evil?"

  This remark triggered a burst of laughter from the crowd of poor people.

  Li Xie smiled and said, "However, everyone must remember that having money can indeed make people worse. Those who forget their past and become ungrateful after becoming rich are mostly people who went from being poor to wealthy. To be a good person, one must know how to be grateful and not forget one's roots! The money here, you can take as much as you want, but the amount you take here, you must earn an equal amount of gold coins in your lifetime to repay me. I don't need you to write an IOU, just remember it in your heart, and when you have the ability, bring back the gold coins you took today!"

  "Remember, if you feel that you are not capable, then your family can only take one gold coin, consider it a gift from me. Those who have the ability to repay me in the future can take as much as they want, dare to take as much as they want! But I don't want to see your inner greed taking over and recklessly taking more! I hope you will take with your heart. Believe me, listen to your hearts, otherwise, greed will bring you a curse, a spiritual curse, and you will not be at peace for the rest of your life!"

  Li Ye's words were finished, and now the poor people looked at him with complex eyes, looking at that pile of glittering gold coins, which was several hundred gold coins, for a small aristocrat, it was not a small fortune, really giving them away?

  Who is this nobleman anyway? Is he really giving away gold coins unconditionally? Or is it a trick to lure them in and then have other intentions? Or, when they take it, will he accuse them of robbery?

  Finally, a young man squeezed out of the crowd, walked towards Li Xie with a fearful look in his eyes, staring at Li Xie all the time, even when he bent down to pick up the gold coins, he stared at Li Xie without blinking until he got two gold coins!

  Take one gold coin, it means Li Xie sent it. Take two, and it represents that this young man owes Li Xie two gold coins back, which is the young man's affirmation of his own ability! As for whether he can pay it back or not, Li Xie doesn't care.

  He took two gold coins, and the young man seemed to have won a victory, excitedly waving his arms and running towards the crowd.

  Everyone has a herd mentality, and the weaker they are, the more so.

  With the first person taking a gold coin and getting away with it, over 300 poor people started to take gold coins one by one. Perhaps due to Li Xie's "curse" or perhaps because they were too honest, these poor people not only didn't rush to grab the coins, but most of them only took one gold coin!

  Only a few young people took more, only two or three coins at most. Among the over 300 people, only one fourteen-year-old girl took ten gold coins! This immediately caught Li Xie's attention.

  "What's your name?" Li Xie asked a girl with a dirty face and messy hair.

  "Qiya." The girl flashed a slightly shy smile: "My name is Qiya."

  "Kiya, yeah, remember, you owe me ten gold coins."

  "Sir, Qia will definitely return it to you! Definitely!"

  The poor people quickly took the gold coins that belonged to them, and the remaining ones were also collected by Kano. With the gold coins in hand, the poor people's hearts were at ease, even if it was only one coin, this was already the most wealth they had ever owned! This one coin could at least let them live a good life for a year, or even longer!

  "Remember, you must be united and loving towards each other. No one is allowed to snatch gold coins from others. You will supervise each other, don't let me know if such a thing happens! Alright, remember that some of you owe me gold coins. I look forward to the day when you can bring back the gold coins you took today and even give me a few more! Farewell!"

  Li Xie was about to turn around when a group of poor people all knelt down.

  "May the Great Spirit above smile upon you! May the light of the Master Spirit forever shine upon you!"

  "Sir, forgive this humble subject's previous suspicion, sir is the gospel of heaven's descent!"

  "Adult..."

  "Excuse me, sir, what is your name?"

  Li Xie turned around and left his back to the crowd of poor people, only letting the gentle breeze carry four words to them: "Evil Baron Li!"

  Among the thanks and praise of the poor, Li Xie and Kano walked away from the slum in big strides, neither of them noticing that a horse carriage was still parked not far away. In fact, Kano had noticed it long ago, but didn't pay attention to it because he knew who was inside and was too lazy to go and pay his respects.

  But Kano was very puzzled by Li Xie's actions. Why did he send these poor people gold coins for no reason? At least four hundred gold coins were sent out, and even Kano felt heartbroken!

  Not yet out of the slum, Kano couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why did you give them gold coins for no reason?"

  "For their gratitude." Li Xie smiled and said.

  "Is it just for this?" Kano was taken aback. Giving someone money and having them thank you, what kind of purpose is that?

  "Haha, Master Mian once said: doing good deeds without wanting others' gratitude is not doing good deeds, it's just a kind of charity towards those who look down on you! I dare not look down on them, so I want their gratitude." Li Xie said, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with his hands raised: "Master Mian is above! Helping those who have had the same fate as me, suffering and hardship, is my heart's desire!"

  "Sleeping Master is up!" Kano imitated Li Xie's movements: "Sir, your heart is as clear as a bright moon!"

  "Get out! I need a fighter, not a yes-man!"

  "Hehe......"

  "Count, please stay."

  A soft and sweet voice made Li Xie and Kano turn around, Kano's expression was somewhat surprised, surprised that the person he knew would actually take the initiative to greet him!

  But Li Xie was stunned with wide eyes!

  Under the afterglow of sunset, there were two figures ahead, but Li Xie directly ignored one of them, because in his eyes, only that woman remained!

  The woman wore a pure white dress, with a white silk scarf draped over her head, the soft and transparent scarf hanging down to her shoulders. The sunset's afterglow shone through the fine holes of the scarf, as if spreading into seven-colored halos, illuminating that absolutely beautiful face. On that face which could not be described in words, the faint smile at the corner of her mouth was filled with feminine tenderness and radiated a holy light, an indescribable feeling!

  Only then did I realize that even the sunset's afterglow paled in comparison to her smile!

  All he knew was that Li Xie felt a chill run down his entire body, with only his heart pounding away, all the blood in his body rushing towards it, to the point where Li Xie couldn't see the sky, couldn't see the sunset, couldn't see anyone else, leaving only this pure white figure!
