Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 113, Meeting Teacher Kong Again
That day, after Wang Li delivered something to Zhang Fang's house, he met an acquaintance on his way home, Mr. Kong.

Teacher Kong looked pale at this time. Although his clothes were clean, they obviously had several patches on them.

I saw him walking hurriedly with a paper bag in his hand.

Wang Li stepped forward to greet him and asked: Teacher, is there something urgent that you are in such a hurry for?
Teacher Kong also saw Wang Li at this time and replied: "It's Wang Li, is your work going well?" I am worried because my child is sick at home. I just went to the pharmacy to get some medicine for him and was about to go home to make it for him.

Wang Li immediately said, "Is it serious? I'll go back with you to take a look."

After saying that, without waiting for Teacher Kong to object, he pulled him forward.

Teacher Kong had no way to refuse, so he had to take Wang Li to his home.

On the way, Wang Li got a preliminary understanding of Mr. Kong's current situation: Mr. Kong's family still consists of only two people, him and his son.

His son is 13 years old this year. He has been physically disabled since childhood, has always been in poor health, and often takes medicine.

He is the only one working in his family, and the family conditions are getting worse and worse. This year, the harvest was poor, and life at home became even more difficult.

His son didn't have enough food some time ago, which made him weak and he fell seriously ill. He stayed in the hospital for a while, and all his savings over the years were spent.

After being discharged from the hospital, they still needed to buy some medicinal herbs to nourish their bodies, which made their family's life even more difficult.

There was a scene where Wang Li saw Teacher Kong looking pale and wearing patched clothes.

Soon, the two arrived at Teacher Kong's home, and Wang Li saw that his house was empty.

After entering the bedroom, I saw Teacher Kong’s son Kong Jiye lying on the bed.

He saw Wang Li and Teacher Kong walk in and struggled to sit up. It was obvious that he was not fully recovered yet and due to hunger, he had no strength left.

Wang Li quickly advised: Xiao Kong, don't get up, just lie on the bed, we are not strangers here.

Teacher Kong also said: You lie down first. This is my former student. You can call him Brother Wang.

After introducing both parties, Teacher Kong went to make medicine for his son, while Wang Li sat beside the bed and chatted with him about family matters.

Through casual chatting, Wang Li learned that Kong Jiye had stopped going to school because he was often sick and weak, and needed someone to take care of him at school. In the end, he had no choice but to study at home.

I taught him myself after Teacher Kong got off work, so he didn't fall behind in his studies.

During the conversation, Wang Li used his qi and blood sensing ability to sense his physical condition.

It was discovered that he was born a eunuch, which caused his kidney function to be incomplete and his organs to develop in an uncoordinated manner, so he was always sick and his physical fitness was not good. After years of practice and reading various ancient books, Wang Li was convinced that as long as Kong Jiye practiced martial arts and took nourishing medicine from precious herbs, he would be fine.

Kong Jiye's body can recover. Although his eunuch problem cannot be cured, his physical health can still be guaranteed.

Wang Li thought again of the big storm that would happen a few years later. Teacher Kong’s identity was very questionable and he would definitely be implicated in the future.

And given his son's physical condition, the result would most likely be the destruction of his family.

Considering the care that Teacher Kong gave him when he was in school and the management skills that Teacher Kong possessed.

When Teacher Kong was seeing him off the house, Wang Li gave his suggestions to Teacher Kong.

He said to Teacher Kong: Teacher, you took good care of me when I was in school, and I always remember it. My family is a family of martial arts, and I also know some medical skills.

Just now when I was chatting with Kong Jiye, I did some examinations on him. I found that although Jiye's health is very poor, as long as he practices kung fu successfully, his internal organs will be adjusted.

I believe that in a few years, his body will be as strong as a normal person.

Teacher, I have also seen your current situation and I want to help you.

To be honest, you are very capable, and I have asked someone to investigate you and know your past.

When Teacher Kong heard his words, he was very surprised and nervous, and opened his mouth to say something.

Before he could speak, Wang Li continued: Teacher, don't be nervous, I have not told anyone about your background.

What I want to say is that you are not suitable to be a teacher in your current situation. First, your income is not enough to pay for your son's medical treatment.

Secondly, because of your identity, it is not suitable for you to come into contact with too many people. If someone familiar recognizes you, although they cannot do anything to you for the time being, it will also have some impact on you and your inheritance.

Therefore, I suggest that you move to my house with your inheritance and transfer your work relationship to the Siheyuan Purchasing Station.

This way you have fewer people to contact, but your income has not decreased. Jiye can also learn Kung Fu from me, so you can kill two birds with one stone. What do you think?
Teacher Kong was very grateful after hearing his advice, and he was very clear about his situation.

But he did not agree immediately. Instead, he said to Wang Li: Wang Li, let me think about it. After all, it involves succession.

I'll go back and discuss it with him and then give you a reply, but thank you for your concern anyway.
