Chapter 1841 Helping Others Is Difficult
Xiang Nan rushed forward and grabbed the woman's shoulder.
The woman turned her back to Xiang Nan and rubbed her face twice. She turned around and said with trepidation, "Master, did you recognize the wrong person?"
Her face had already been wiped black, but Xiang Nan was still able to recognize her identity.
But Xiang Nan saw the look in her eyes.
It was a kind of person who had once been respectable, desperately wanting to protect his once glamorous image after he had fallen into a state of despair.
Xiang Nan's heart ached, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I seem to have recognized the wrong person. You look very much like a friend of mine."
The woman smiled miserably and said, "Friend, how can a dressed person like you have such a depressed friend like me?"
Xiang Nan picked up the roasted chicken and said, "It's already cold. You can either."
The woman's heart was clearly struggling. She didn't want to act so despondent in front of the man she once liked.
However, hunger was an irresistible calamity for a person who had completely lost her cultivation realm. Especially since she had been hungry for many days.
Xiang Nan would not give her such a chance to struggle. He would not be cruel enough to make her end up like this. He would also cruelly make her make an unbreakable choice in front of dignity and survival.
Xiang Nan directly stuffed the roasted chicken into her hand and said, "Hey, it's already cold anyway. I don't like cold food. If you don't want it, throw it away for me."
With that, Xiang Nan waved his hand and turned to leave.
The woman held the roasted chicken in her arms, turned around, and walked silently. As she walked, her shoulders slightly shrugged.
She cried and cried as she walked, in such a dark and humid environment, in this dark underground slum.
Xiang Nan hid in the shadows at a corner, watching her back at all times.
The slums had administrators, and some of the soldiers sent to the slums kept the slums running, distributed food, and maintained law and order.
They said that they were maintaining law and order, but in reality, no soldier cared if they were everyone. This group of soldiers hated the people of the Bai Clan to the bone. They wished they could kill each other one by one and kill each other in the streets before they could resolve their hatred.
Originally, it was already sad enough to leave their homeland, but they still had to be sent to such a dirty slum to distribute food to their former enemies. Being trapped here made these soldiers treat the Bai Family as nothing more than humans.
A small group of five soldiers crossed the street with their shoulders crossed. While shouting loudly, they drank wine and occasionally threw two whips at the pedestrians with their whips, causing the destitute people to scream miserably.
Xiang Nan stopped the five of them. Before the five of them were about to curse, he lifted his hood and revealed his true appearance.
When the five people who were about to curse saw Xiang Nan's face, they immediately opened their mouths in surprise, "Ah! You are Xiang …"
Xiang Nan quickly made a silent gesture. The five of them hurriedly covered their mouths, but they still couldn't conceal their excitement.
Xiang Nan pointed at the woman's back and said, "Did you know about her?"
One of them, who looked like a squad leader, hurriedly approached and smiled flatteringly, "I know, a stinking beggar."
Xiang Nan frowned slightly, his face filled with displeasure.
The five of them were veterans of Jianghu. Seeing Xiang Nan's expression, they immediately understood something and quickly straightened out their attitudes.
The captain said seriously, "This girl is actually quite pitiful. She is not a member of the Bai Clan, nor is she an outsider of the Bai Clan. She should be an individual martial artist who was recruited into the Bai Clan alone, right?"
"That's why she doesn't have her own power, nor does she have a backer. She is often bullied."
"There are a few rogues who snatch her things at regular intervals. Basically, all the food that was distributed to her was snatched away."
"It's just that every time she's about to starve to death, those hooligans will leave her a bit of food to save her life so that she can survive."
Another person sneered, "Those hoodlums are not kind. They don't want her to die. As long as she is alive, she can get food every day. Those hoodlums can continue to rob her."
Xiang Nan's heart ached when he heard this.
He told the five of them to find a place to drink and chat. The five of them naturally nodded in excitement.
Xiang Nan was the man who had killed White River! Who could drink wine with such a person so easily? This was a blessing that the three of them had cultivated.
In a dilapidated restaurant, Xiang Nan and the others had hired an entire floor. They said that it was a private room, but in fact, no one had the money to eat here.
Xiang Nan first toasted to the five of them. The five of them immediately stood up in fear and drank with both hands clenching their glasses.
Xiang Nan waved his hand and signaled for them to sit down. He lowered his voice and said, "If, I mean if, if I had a friend with a decent status, but one day I found her down."
"What do you think I should do to help her?"
The five of them exchanged a glance, and their hearts instantly became like a mirror. The captain laughed and said, "Such a person, since he was once rich and noble, he was once beautiful in front of you."
'"Then what she cares about the most now is her beautiful image in your heart. If you look at her in such a sorry state, it would be even more embarrassing than directly killing her."
This person had already said it clearly, and Xiang Nan did not explain. He nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I thought too."
"Then what do you think I should do to help her? It won't make her feel uncomfortable."
The captain took a sip of wine and muttered, "Well … that depends on your relationship with her."
Xiang Nan smiled and toasted him, saying, "Together, she is my savior twice."
When the five heard this, their eyes immediately went straight.
The captain apologized and left the seats to go to the bathroom. He turned around and slapped himself twice, cursing himself for not seizing the opportunity.
Wouldn't it be equivalent to Xiang Nan owing him a favor if he treated that woman a little better?
This was a great opportunity, just like that, he missed it.
Later, the captain tidied up his clothes and walked back, saying, "I've already thought about it."
"It's not suitable for you to personally intervene in this matter. You need someone else to help you."
"Let's put it this way. You must let her recognize you again with such a face, otherwise, it will be difficult for her to do so."
Xiang Nan suddenly became enlightened and said, "Hey, I'm very good at killing and fighting, but these are the details of the human world. I'm not very professional."
"I still rely on a few brothers to help me a lot."
The five of them immediately patted their chests and swore an oath. This matter was on their own, and they guaranteed to give Xiang Nan a satisfactory answer.
Xiang Nan also smiled and said, "If this matter succeeds, I can transfer all of you to a decent job."
The five of them were so moved that tears were almost coming out of their eyes.
Xiang Nan opened his storage ring and took out a large pile of items. There were gold coins, delicious food, and spiritual herbs.
The captain hurriedly pushed them back and said, "Keep these. You can't give them to her. Otherwise, she will be suspicious. Leave them to the five of us to take care of them. I'll let you be satisfied."
Xiang Nan nodded, "Alright, then it's settled. I won't embarrass my friend, nor do I try to arouse her suspicions."
