Chapter 203: Generosity
When Yunxi and the others arrived at Liu's house, Liu Lao and Fu Lao were all waiting for them in the living room, and Fu Lao said a little excitedly when he saw Chao Yuan: "Old Chao, where have you been all these years?" Since your brother died, I have asked someone to look for you, but I have never heard from you, if it weren't for the "Boiling Tea" picture of yours this time, I thought I would never see you again.

At this time, Chao Yuan also smiled bitterly and said: "After I was expelled from the master by the master, how could I still have the face to come back to see everyone, but I have always had correspondence with my senior brother, and when he died a few years ago, I also went to his grave to worship him. ”
After hearing Chao Yuan's words, Fu Lao couldn't help but ask: "Old Chao, have you encountered any difficulties, tell us quickly, and see if we can help you." ”
At this time, I heard Chao Yuan say slowly: "When I left the division, I went to the countryside to a remote mountain village, that place is really poor, facing the loess with my back to the sky, even the food is sometimes not enough, and there are more than 100 people in the whole village, but they don't even have decent clothes." What made me feel most guilty was that when the villagers learned that I was a learned person, they treated me with special respect and gave me what little food they had left, and every time I carried the rice bowl and saw the children around me swallowing spit, my throat felt as if something was choked. In fact, I also thought about helping those villagers change their living conditions, but my power alone is limited, and I can't help the whole village. In particular, I also promised Master not to cheat people anymore, so the only thing I could do was to become a teacher in that village and use what I learned to teach the children to read and write, and at the same time, my greatest wish in my heart was to give back to the people in this village when these children had a good life in the future. ”
When Chao Yuan said this, his face became a little bitter again, and after he finished taking a sip of tea, he continued: "I have been in that village for decades, and I am also married and have children there, and now I even have grandchildren, but the current situation in that village has not changed much, so I have to use the fake to exchange some money to help those villagers." I had already planned in my mind that when I had sold the fakes, I would build a road in the village all the way to the entrance of the village, so that the villagers could drive their own poultry to the town and sell them. And I also plan to set up a chicken farm in the village, so that the villagers can feed the poultry, which can be regarded as helping them get rid of poverty and become rich. ”
When Yun Xi heard this, he interjected and asked: "Mr. Chao, your idea is very good, why didn't you implement it earlier, if it had been implemented a few years earlier, maybe those villagers would have been lifted out of poverty and become rich by now." ”
After hearing Yun Xi's words, Chao Yuan shook his head and said, "Back then, I promised my master and my senior brother that as long as they were alive for a day, I would never fake them again. When my brother passed away a few years ago, I swore at his grave that as long as I had enough money to help the villagers get rid of poverty and become rich, I would never again imitate any calligraphy and painting to deceive people, and I would also bring this craft into the coffin and not pass it on to the next generation. ”
"Lao Chao, don't make a decision so quickly, in fact, your master and apprentice are still very artistically valuable, when your senior brother was on his deathbed, he also handed over his pottery mastery and some imitation experience left by your master to the country, these are all treasures in the art and culture of our Celestial Empire. Although the imitation of the artwork is not as good as the original, but it can be done with the fake and real, it can definitely be called a generation of masters, just like the previous Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, etc. have copied the calligraphy and painting of celebrities, but they have also become a generation of Chinese painting masters, so Lao Chao, you also dedicate your unique body to the country, as long as this imitation art is used on the right path, it can also bring beauty to this society. ”
After hearing Fu Lao's words, Chao Yuan thought about it in his heart for a while, and finally nodded and agreed. At this time, Yun Xi said: "Mr. Chao, I don't know how much money you need to help those villagers, if I am willing to pay this money, can you sell me all the remaining high-quality imitations, it will be regarded as a love I donated for those villagers." ”
Chao Yuan looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise at this time, he still didn't know what the identity of this young man was. However, he still said gratefully: "I have already made a budget, and it will take about five million dollars to build this road and set up a chicken farm, so I have imitated a total of five famous calligraphy and paintings at home in the past few years, and one million per calligraphy and painting is just enough to make up this money." ”
As soon as Chao Yuan finished speaking, Yun Xi immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I'll give you five million, now you have a calligraphy and painting sold to Brother Hao, and I will help you pay him back with that money, as for the rest of the imitation works, I want all the imitations, I don't know what you think, Mr. Chao?" ”
Just when Chao Yuan was about to nod his head in agreement, Liu Hao on the side also stood up and said: "Yun Shao, let's not look down on people so much, you have donated five million, do I still care about that million?" I also donated 1 million to the villagers to build roads. And I can also find some friends to go to the village to see if there are any projects worth investing in, and if so, I can also help those villagers. ”
At this time, Chao Yuan was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and Liu Lao also said to him with a smile: "Lao Chao, you can rest assured now, with these children to help you, you will definitely be able to fulfill your wishes." By the way, let me introduce it to you, the kid who bought your calligraphy and painting is my grandson Liu Hao, and it is Lao Nie's grandson Yun Xi who sees through the authenticity of your calligraphy and painting, and his master Qinglong Daochang is also an antique expert, so Yun Xi can be regarded as inheriting his master's mantle, and he is even better than blue. ”
After hearing Liu Lao's words, Chao Yuan also stood up and said to Yun Xi and them: "Thank you for your generosity, you have really helped me a lot this time, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the fathers and villagers of our village." Saying that, Chao Yuan also bowed to Yun Xi and Liu Hao.
And Yun Xi hurriedly hugged Chao Yuan and said, "Mr. Chao doesn't have to be like this, since you and Liu Lao and Fu Lao have been friends for many years, we should help with this." ”
"Yes, Mr. Chao, you don't need to be so polite, we just did our best, as long as we can help those villagers, we will be satisfied." At this time, Liu Hao also said on the side.
Just when they were polite to each other, Fu Lao said to Yun Xi: "Yun boy, you can't take all of Lao Chao's high-quality imitations, you have to leave me two for me so that I can appreciate Lao Chao's unique mastery." ”
Yun Xi shook his head with a wry smile and agreed, when the matter came to an end, Yun Xi returned to school to continue studying, this is also his last year of college career, so Yun Xi also cherishes the last time with his brothers. In fact, with Yun Xi's memory, he had already completed all the courses in the university, and his instructor once hoped that he could continue to stay in school and improve, maybe he could get a doctorate, but Yun Xi did not agree, because he knew that there were still many things waiting for him to do outside, so he decided to go back to the ninth group to complete what he needed to do after graduation.
Just as the new year was approaching, Yun Xi unexpectedly met an old friend, and this old friend had also fought with him, he was Kong Xiang, the helmsman of the Hongmen XG rudder, who was nicknamed "Eagle Claw King". When Yun Xi saw him, he felt that Kong Xiang's complexion was not very good, as if he had been injured internally, and the injury was not light. So he asked with some surprise: "Brother Kong, what's wrong with you, who hurt you like this?" ”
At this time, Kong Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yun, do you have time?" Let's find a quiet place and I'll tell you the details. ”
Yun Xi nodded, and took Kong Xiang to a quiet tea room, and only after the two of them sat down did Kong Xiang say: "Brother Yun, I came from the helm of country M this time to ask for your help, I hope you can help us play a ring match in Hongmen." ”
When Yun Xi heard his words, he said in surprise: "Brother Kong, your Hongmen is the largest community organization, and your gang is also full of talents, how could you think of asking me to help you fight this ring match?" What's going on? ”
At this time, Kong Xiang sighed and said: "Last month, in country M, our Hongmen and R Ben's Sumiyoshi Society fought a ring match in order to compete for territory, but what we didn't expect was that Sumiyoshi would invite Matsushima Hirano, a master of the R Benji Vacuum Jarate School, this guy defeated three of our masters in a row as soon as he appeared, and I was injured by him in that fight, so our Hongmen also lost the control of the two streets to them. Now these ramps have come to the door to fight us in the ring again, and they have made huge bets on our three restaurants and two casinos in Chinatown. ”
When Kong Xiang said this, he looked at Yun Xi, and Yun Xi immediately understood what he meant, it seems that Hongmen has taken this gamble this time. However, Yun Xi asked with some curiosity: "Brother Kong, is this Matsushima Plains you said really that powerful?" Is there really no one in your Hongmen who can deal with him? ”
At this time, Kong Xiang frowned again and said, "Brother Yun, this Matsushima Hirano is also very famous in the karate world, and his master is also the curator of the Jizhen Guild, Matsui Shokei. I've heard that Matsui has a seventeen-fight winning streak in karate tournaments, so Matsushima Hirano's boxing is also very sharp and ferocious. I was wounded by his punches when I fought him, and we really haven't found a match for him in the Hongmen, so I have to come here to ask for your help. Brother Yun, you are a master of the Wudang Sect, and the Wudang Sect is the Taishan Beidou in our Heavenly Empire's martial arts world, you must help us this time, all the disciples of our Hongmen will be grateful to you. ”
