Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 86: The weak and the strong, see the world?

Li Jianjun raised his eyebrows.

"Looking at the meaning of your words, you still want to do good things?"

Despite this, Li Jianjun still accepted the salary.

He took three yuan for himself, and distributed the remaining six yuan to Amin and Dachun next to him.

Seeing this, Xiwei had a smile on his face.

He took over the conversation and said matter-of-factly:
"Isn't it a good thing?

If it was before that all the completion wages were deducted from the work, it would be good for these coolies to be left with [-] percent of their wages.

Now it's up to us to do the talking, but we haven't deducted a penny from them.

Uncle Jun, if we exploit these coolies like other foremen, do you know how much more money we can make every day? "

Xiwei looked at Li Jianjun.

He didn't expect Li Jianjun to answer, but stretched out two fingers and said to himself.

"You can earn two hundred more by talking less! How much money do we earn in a day? It's only Brother An who has a good heart."

"One berth costs 400 yuan, and two berths are 400 yuan. Wow, [-] yuan a day is a loss of [-] yuan a month. How many people on this dock have never seen so much money in their lives?

Uncle Jun, tell me, if you don’t want so much money, is that a good thing? "

Xiwei's words left Li Jianjun speechless.

Although he also knew that what Xiwei said was just a change of concept.

I wanted to refute, but I didn't know how to say it.

But it is undeniable that the heartfelt gratitude these coolies feel after receiving their wages cannot be faked.

For Li Jianjun, who had just arrived, this really touched his heart.

He looked at Xiwei and finally just choked out two words:
"Crap!"

Xiwei smiled nonchalantly.

"It doesn't matter if he's unreasonable or not, as long as the coolies under him work hard and we can make money, it makes sense."

After saying this, Xiwei paused and suddenly said:

"I remember Brother An said something to me."

"What are you talking about?" Li Jianjun suddenly became interested.In fact, he was still very curious about Li An, his nephew whom he had not seen for more than ten years.

Xiwei took a deep breath.

"There are many things in this world that cannot be justified by reason. Because reason cannot fill the stomach."

"Is this what Li An said?"

"Ok!"

"At that time, we brothers had just arrived in Hong Kong and we were hungry for three days without being able to eat a bite. If it weren't for Brother An inviting us to eat wonton noodles, I can't guarantee whether we would have done something drastic in the future just to have a bite. Uncle Shijun, you should know what I mean."

"clear!"

Xiwei did not continue, but Li Jianjun knew what he meant.

Xiwei was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"Actually, this is how the world works. The weak eat the strong! If you don't have money, you will be looked down upon!
For me, as long as I can make money, let alone fighting for territory, I won't hesitate to kill everyone. "

"Okay, I see."

Li Jianjun interrupted Xiwei and pulled him out of the dock.

"Let's go, you won't be able to fill your stomach if you continue talking. I'm hungry after a busy day, so let's go eat first."

Amin and Dachun, who were walking behind, couldn't help but smile.

Xiwei, who was being pushed forward, looked back at Dawei, who was still packing his things at the berth next to him, and said quickly:
"Wait a minute, Uncle Jun, my brother is not finished yet."

The blade shone with cold light, and as the long knife was swung, the sharp edge reflected dazzling reflections in the sunlight.

The sun was setting in the west, and the low setting sun shone on the hand holding the knife.

Li An, who was wearing a short shirt, had steady hands. As he stepped forward, he raised the long knife with his waist strength.

"Chong!"

Accompanied by the sound of Qingyue's blades touching each other.

Lin Zhaodi made a mistake in her steps. She walked to avoid the oncoming sharp edge, twisted her waist, and came to Li An's side with light steps. She got close and slashed, and the two swords in her hands connected rapidly back and forth.

"Chong!"

Li An flipped his wrist, and the long knife hit the single knife that was heading straight for his wrist.

Then he leaned back, used his wrist hard, and slashed the long knife across, just in time to block another single knife that followed closely behind.

Lin Zhaodi was not discouraged even after her two swords were blocked. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, making a dangerous arc. She raised her right leg without warning and kicked out her vaginal leg.

"Senior sister, I have been prepared for this move of yours."

Li An chuckled, as if he had expected it, and his raised knee hit Lin Zhaodi's sole.

Before Lin Zhaodi could stabilize her body, Li An kicked her left leg as a support, holding the knife in both hands and pressing down hard.

She was already unsteady on her feet, but now she was suppressed by Ang Lee. Unprepared, Lin Zhaodi sank and her legs were split into a straight line!

Suddenly a joking voice came from the rooftop door.

"Hey! Zhaodi, A'an, what are you two doing?"

Li An followed the sound and saw Sanjiang Shui leaning in front of the door with a food box, staring at the two of them with a pair of eyes full of smiles.

"What we can do is just compare notes."

Li An calmly retracted the long knife and stretched his hand in front of Lin Zhaodi.

Lin Zhaodi shook her head, holding the two swords in her left hand, and slapped the ground with her right palm. Using the momentum of the backlash, she turned over and landed lightly on the ground with her feet.

Sanjiang Shui walked over, looked at the two of them up and down, and spoke in a teasing tone.

"Zhao Di, I remember that you have been staying at the medical center and rarely come here. You refused to come over to practice boxing before. Why did you close the medical center so early today and come to practice boxing with An?"

"You have to ask Master about this."

Lin Zhaodi replied, looked at the water of Sanjiang River and said with a smile:
"Senior brother, by the way, you haven't come back to visit Master in nearly three months. This time when you came here, Master didn't reprimand Senior Brother?"

She didn't need to think about it to know that since Sanjiang Shui hadn't come back for so long, Yixiantian would definitely consider his skills to see if he had improved.

And with Li An, a junior brother who has made rapid progress, there will definitely be a scolding in his words.

After all, Zhou Sheng had learned from the past and was often scolded by Yixiantian for being too slack in boxing training because of Li An.

"Ahem, Zhaodi, your mouth is still so powerful."

Sanjiang Shui coughed, as if he was choked.

Seeing that the water in Sanjiang was deflated, Li An smiled, took the two swords from Lin Zhaodi's hand, walked to the weapon rack, and placed the weapons.

When Li An turned back to the two of them, San Jiangshui looked at him and said angrily:
"You are laughing so hard. I originally planned to find you at the registration desk and come back with you, but who knew you would come back alone before the work was over."

Li An spread his hands, looking innocent.

"Ah Xin is taking care of the newspaper files, and Wu Shihao and Xiwei are taking care of the dock. I can just be a hands-off shopkeeper now. There is no need to wait for the work to end like my senior brothers."

"You are trying to make me angry, right?"

Sanjiang Shui put the food box in Li An's hand.

"Thankfully, I heard Master say that you haven't eaten yet, so I bought it specially for you."

"Let me see."

Li An opened the lid and took a look at the hanging roast chicken on the top layer, and his eyes lit up.

"Oh, it's quite rich. Thank you, senior brother."

Walking to the wooden table in the corner of the rooftop, Li An placed the food in the food box on the table.

"Senior sister, come over for dinner."

Lin Zhaodi nodded in response.Take a step forward.Only Sanjiang Shui was left standing there.He muttered as he watched the two of them take the bowls and chopsticks and start eating.

"I bought it after all. I didn't even ask if my senior brother had eaten it."

Li An pretended not to hear, until after finishing a bowl of rice and seeing Sanjiang Shui still standing still, he greeted:

"Senior brother, there is still a lot of food, and senior sister and I can't finish it. Do you want to come over and join us?"

"You have a conscience."

Sanjiang Shui responded quickly and walked over.

After dinner, the sun had set.Li An stood up and helped Lin Zhaodi clear away the dishes.

Sanjiangshui is sitting on a stool with a golden sword.

After the two of them cleared the table, he said to Lin Zhaodi:

"Zhao Di, the food box is from Fuyuan Restaurant. Please return it first."

Lin Zhaodi glanced at him, said nothing, picked up the food box and left.

Watch her leave the rooftop and go downstairs.Sanjiang Shui's face became a little serious.

"Ann."

Li An sat across from Sanjiang Water and asked:
"What's wrong, senior brother? You're being so serious and you went out of your way to push your senior sister away."

Sanjiang Shui picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, and looked directly at Li An:

"I heard about the drooling incident."

"Yeah." Li An nodded and said straight to the point:
"We are senior brothers. If you have anything to say, senior brother, just say it directly."

Sanjiang Shui put the tea cup in front of Li An:

"Do you still remember what I told you when you first came to the dock?"

Li An thought about it carefully.

"When I first went to the pier, my senior brother introduced me to the situation on the pier. I remember what my senior brother said impressed me the most.

At that time, you pointed to the sea and told me that the dock is just like the sea. The ups and downs are just appearances. What is eternal is the pull of different forces. "

San Jiangshui nodded: "The benefits of the dock are too great, there are societies, smuggling, people and snakes, all mixed together.

Most foremen with a corporate background do not simply earn some cool money.For them, being a foreman is only a superficial identity, and privately they rely on the dock to make side business. "

Speaking of this, he changed the topic and spoke seriously:

"Of course, I came here specifically to talk to you about these things today. I just want to explain to you the interests involved. I want you to understand that if you get too involved in things at the dock, you will inevitably get involved in club fights in the future.

I don't mean to interfere with you. "

"Thank you, senior brother. Actually, I understand what you said."

Li An thanked him in a sincere tone.

He knew very well that his senior brother's words were purely a kind reminder.

After thinking for a while, Li An said:

"In 50, when I was ten years old, when my parents and I first came here, it was difficult for the family to have a full meal. I finally stabilized and started to go to school happily, but a sudden fire destroyed everything.

I was 12 years old that year.

I have been hungry, worked as a handyman, a newspaper boy, and a waiter for many years. Until I was almost beaten to death three months ago, I suddenly wanted to change my life.

Societies, policemen, fees, protection fees. In fact, these days, no matter whether you are doing serious business or doing side business, no matter what you do, you cannot avoid these troubles.

The wooden house area is poor enough, but there are people who come to collect sanitation fees.In the final analysis, it’s just the jungle of the jungle!

I know exactly what I'm doing.

You choose your own path and walk it yourself. "

Ang Lee's words were not sensational or anything, they were entirely based on his feelings.

Even though those things about the original body were just a memory, recalling them in my mind is still like experiencing them myself.

Sanjiang Shui was silent for a while and didn't say anything. He just stood up and patted Li An on the shoulder.

"Come on, have some tea."

"Ah."

The two sat across from each other, drinking tea, and were silent for a long time.

Until Lin Zhaodi came to the rooftop and saw that the two of them seemed to be in a trance, she couldn't help but interrupt:
"What happened to you two?"

"Oh, nothing."

Li An was pulled back by the voice and replied.

Sanjiang Shui stood up and put on a smiling face.

"Zhao Di, you came just in time. Your stomach is full and there is nothing to do. I will take An out to see the world, and you can practice by yourself."

Lin Zhaodi tilted her head and glanced at him: "See the world?"

Sanjiang Shui nodded: "Well, I won't take you there this time. It's not appropriate for you, a girl, to go there."

"Inappropriate?" Hearing this, Lin Zhaodi raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them.

Sanjiang Shui coughed twice: "It's really inappropriate. How could senior brother lie to you?"

Seeing Lin Zhaodi's eyes becoming more and more strange, Li An said at the right time:

"Senior brother, I still have to practice swordsmanship with my senior sister, so why not do it another day?"

Sanjiang Shui avoided Lin Zhaodi's gaze and pulled Li An downstairs.

"You think I have time to come here every day. I can practice sword practice anytime, but the opportunity to see the world doesn't come every day. Let's go."

"Hey, senior brother, let go, I promise to go to the head office with you."

Li An slapped Sanjiang Shui's hand away.

Unlike what Li An imagined, Sanjiang Shui did not take him to any romantic place, but took him to a shipyard, which made Li An somewhat disappointed.

"Senior brother, what kind of world can we see here?"

This is a shipyard located on Ferry Street. Ang Lee has passed by here several times before, because it is not far from the ferry terminal on Ferry Street.

"You'll know when you go in."

Sanjiang Shui replied and walked inside.

Western Union Shipyard.

Li An took a look at the shipyard's sign and followed Sanjiang Shui.

Walking into the door, you are greeted by three men with scornful faces.

Seeing someone coming in, one of them asked:
"What?"

"Watch the boxing match." Sanjiang Shui replied calmly.

The man pointed to the fare sheet posted on the wall.

"Then buy a ticket first."

Sanjiang Shui glanced at the fare sheet.

"Two yuan, five yuan and ten yuan? Why is the ticket price so expensive? Didn't it cost one yuan per person in the past?"

The man looked a little impatient: "I used to stand and watch, but now I sit and watch. The higher the ticket price, the better the location. Can it be the same? Just tell me if you want to watch. If you don't want to watch, you can leave."

"The ten-dollar position is the best, right? Give me two."

Sanjiang Shui glanced at the man, but he was not angry either, and his tone was flat.

After saying that, he took out a small wad of Hong Kong dollars from his pocket, took out two blue crabs and handed them over.

The man took the money and immediately became enthusiastic.

"Wait a minute."
