What would you do if you knew something was going to be hard to succeed in? What would you do if you knew something might not succeed even if you tried hard?

Sometimes giving up does not mean cowardice, losing courage is cowardice, sometimes giving up is to find better opportunities, but once the courage is lost, it is difficult to get it back.

Xiong Yu didn't intend to give up his plan at the moment, but Old Man Gan's words had to make him think about it carefully, blindness is not a good thing, so when you have someone around you who is really good for you, you should calm down and listen to his advice.

Xiong Yu looked at Old Man Gan and said, "Do you have a way?"

Old man Gan nodded and shook his head again, "I didn't." ”

Xiong Yu smiled helplessly, and just as Xiong Yu was about to speak, Old Man Gan suddenly preemptively said: "I don't have a good way, but I know that there is a better opportunity than today." ”

Xiong Yu immediately said, "What chance?"

Old man Gan paused and said, "Wait, only by waiting will there be a better chance." ”

Xiong Yu looked at the sword on his waist and said, "As long as those five people are still by Fan Xiuwen's side, it will be in vain to wait." ”

Old man Gan also looked at Xiong Yu's sword and said, "This is your sword?"

Xiong Yu nodded, at the moment when Xiong Yu nodded, Old Man Gan had already made a move, Old Man Gan reached out and grabbed the sword on Xiong Yu's waist, Xiong Yu was startled and immediately dodged and jumped back, Xiong Yu's reaction was not slow, the moment Old Man Gan made a move, Xiong Yu had already retreated, but when Xiong Yu's feet landed, the sword on his waist had been grabbed by Old Man Gan in his hand.

Old man Gan raised the sword in his hand and said, "This is indeed a good sword. ”

Xiong Yu showed a look of surprise on his face, because he only vaguely saw an afterimage of Old Man Gan just now, and then the sword at his waist had already reached Old Man Gan's hand when he didn't even notice it.

Xiong Yu has been by the side of Old Man Gan for several days, but he has never noticed that Old Man Gan knows martial arts, and judging from Old Man Gan's actions just now, Old Man Gan's martial arts are even above Xiaoyaozi.

Xiong Yu stared at the old man Gan and said, "Who are you?" At this moment, Xiong Yu is becoming more and more unable to see through the old man Gan, at this moment the old man Gan gives Xiong Yu the feeling of being like an ocean, Xiong Yu stands in front of this ocean, but he can't see the end of this ocean.

Old man Gan smiled and threw the sword into Xiong Yu's hand and said, "Everyone has their own story, and everyone will do a lot of forced things. ”

Xiong Yu frowned, and Old Man Gan continued, "You want to know my name?"

Xiong Yu nodded, and Old Man Gan shook his head and said, "But I want to forget this name all the time." ”

Xiong Yu was puzzled: "Why?"

Old man Gan sighed and said, "Because this name has brought me too much suffering and suffering, this name seems to be born with misfortune, do you remember what I said?"

Xiong Yu was even more puzzled: "What words?"

Old man Gan paused and said: "As long as people are in the rivers and lakes, there will be enemies, and every enemy will do everything to deal with you and kill you, if there is only one enemy, it is fine, but if there are hundreds or thousands of enemies, it is not a fun thing." ”

Xiong Yu's face changed and said, "Do you have hundreds of enemies?" Xiong Yu said this sentence again because he was thinking in his heart: Could it be that this old man Gan has done something heinous? If this is the case, how can he have hundreds of enemies.

Old man Gan looked at the expression on Xiong Yu's face and smiled: "I'm not a bad person, I'm even a hero in many people's mouths, a hero." ”

Xiong Yu was puzzled: "Heroes will also have hundreds or thousands of enemies?"

Old man Gan smiled bitterly and said: "What you see is only the glamorous side of the hero, you will see a hero who is praised and praised by countless people, but you can't see the helplessness and pain of the hero." ”

Xiong Yu was stunned and said, "How do you say this?"

Old man Gan smiled and said, "What kind of bad guys can you see?"

Xiong Yu thought for a while and said, "** Kidnapping belongs to bad people. ”

Old man Gan nodded and said, "What is the name of the person who disposes of the ** kidnapping these people?"

Xiong Yu immediately said: "Count as a chivalry." ”

Old man Gan took a breath and said, "These people can only be counted as small heroes, not heroes. ”

Xiong Yu asked, "What kind of thing is the hero doing?"

Old man Gan said with a smile: "What the real hero does is to deal with those people and things that are not visible, the real hero will take the affairs of the people of Li and the people of the world as his own responsibility, and the real hero will sacrifice himself for the suffering of all beings." ”

Xiong Yu was a little shocked and said, "This is the hero?"

Old man Gan sighed lightly and said: "You won't understand now, and it's hard to understand, but I want to tell you one thing, the real hero sometimes doesn't leave a name, but what he does has already benefited all sentient beings, the real hero will not seek fame and fortune, they have a saint-like heart, nine out of ten of today's heroes are hypocrites, they are gentlemen in front of people, but they do some despicable things behind their backs." ”

Xiong Yu stared at Old Man Gan and said, "You say you are a hero." ”

Old man Gan puffed up his chest and said, "Yes, I think I can afford the word hero." ”

Xiong Yu looked at Old Man Dong with a proud look and said, "I really want to know what you did." ”

Old man Gan's eyes suddenly looked into the distance, his thoughts seemed to have returned to a long time ago, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and he slowly opened his mouth.

The scorching sun is like a big fireball scorching this dry and cracked earth, this is the biggest drought in Luoyang in the past 50 years, the land all over the mountains and fields are burned by the scorching sun, there is no trace of green clothes at a glance, the croppers have relied on a few acres of land to support their families, but now all the dealers are drought to death, this year is destined to be a year of no harvest.

There has not been a single rain in Luoyang since the beginning of the spring, and the sun is what makes everything grow, but now there is no one in the town who does not hate the sun, and the scorching temperature makes the well water dry up, and the wooden barrel can only be filled with half a bucket of sediment when put into the deep well, which is the drought.

There is little coarse grain left, dry water sources, this disaster has made all the people in the town desperate, the town is full of desolate scenes, random crooked corpses on the side of the street, residents who have fallen while walking, this is the current situation in Luoyang.

The residents of Luoyang are in dire need of help, and if there is no water or food, they will all die of thirst and starvation.

Many of the young refugees have fled to other towns, but the old and infirm old and lonely children are left to sit and wait for their deaths in the town, which is a terrible disaster, and people are falling and dying every day.

This natural catastrophe has taken the lives of too many innocent people, but this is only the beginning, the drought does not know how long it will last, the rain does not know when it will come, everything is unknown, people need to wait, but life cannot stand the wait.

Fortunately, conscientious officials reported the situation to the imperial court, and when the emperor learned of the incident, he immediately ordered the ministers of the court to send relief and grain, and also allocated 2 million taels of silver from the treasury to help the victims.

This is a good thing, the emperor cherishes his people, when the people are suffering and in the midst of fire and water, the emperor immediately sends people to rescue his people from fire and water, this is a holy king who loves the people like a son.

But the Holy Monarch's subordinates are not all virtuous ministers, there are always a few ill-intentioned rats in the court, these rats will not care about the dawn of the world, they care about their own interests, so when the silver for disaster relief is sent to Luoyang, there are only 100,000 taels left.

The food and silver for disaster relief were withheld in layers, so that by the time the grain and silver taels reached the victims, there was not much left.

There are 300,000 victims in Luoyang, but only 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, and there is too much difference between the two, so there are still tens of thousands of victims who cannot be helped.

At this time, a person came to Luoyang City, this person looked dignified, looked about thirty years old, he was wearing a dark green robe, and he was carrying a big sword behind his back, this person was Gan Runqiu, who had traveled to the rivers and lakes.

Gan Runqiu practiced martial arts at the age of six, and his master was the same person as his father, and his father was Gan Tianbo, who was known as the Bright Sword Buddha Heart in the rivers and lakes.

Gan Runqiu has been influenced and nurtured by his father since he was a child, so Gan Runqiu has been determined to become a hero who is praised and admired by all since he was a child.

As soon as he entered Luoyang City, Gan Runqiu distributed all the dry food and silver taels on his body to the victims of the disaster, but these were far from being affected, there were too many victims of the disaster, but the silver taels and dry food on his body were limited.

Gan Runqiu's actions were quickly praised by the victims, so Gan Runqiu was determined to do something to help them survive this terrible natural disaster.

Gan Runqiu accidentally learned from others that the grain and silver of the imperial court for disaster relief were deducted, and Gan Runqi had a great hatred for corrupt officials since he was a child, because his father Gan Tianbo was framed and killed by those dog officials.

So Gan Runqiu embarked on the road to the official mansion without hesitation, and there happened to be an official in Luoyang City at that time, and this official fortune was Yu Feng, a first-class official sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief.

Yu Feng is a very intelligent person, he is a loyal minister in the eyes of the emperor in the court, and he is the umbrella of many ministers in the officialdom, but in the eyes of ordinary civilians, Yu Feng is an insatiable corrupt official.

In just three years, Yu Feng embezzled at least seven million taels of silver from the imperial court, many people knew about these things, but the emperor didn't know, so Yu Feng has been living very well, and the officials who can't get used to him have been secretly killed, so even if someone can't get used to Yu Feng, they can only endure it.

Gan Runqiu heard about the various bad deeds of Tai Feng, and he knew what was the most effective way to deal with corrupt officials, so when Yu Feng saw Gan Runqiu, Gan Runqiu's sword was already on Yu Feng's throat.

Mian only said one sentence to Fengshi Gan Runqiu: "Return the things that belong to the victims of the disaster." ”

The corrupt officials value their own lives the most, so Yu Feng returned the food and silver allocated by the imperial court to the victims.

After doing this, Yu Feng asked, "Now can you let me live?"

Gan Runqiu smiled, and said in a cold voice: "I didn't say that I would let you live." As soon as the words fell, Gan Runqiu pierced Yu Feng's throat with a sword.
