Take Along A Spring - C1064

1I didn’t kill my uncle, but my uncle died because of me. This saying was a famous saying of the Jin and Jin Emperors of the East Jin Dynasty.    

    

According to the New Words of the World, in 322 A.D., when Jin Dynasty’s Wang Dun, a major official, started a rebellion, and his younger brother, Director Wang and his family were implicated, Wang brought along his descendants and knelt in front of the palace in order to beg for forgiveness. At this time, Zhou Qing entered the palace. Director Wang hoped that Zhou Qing could speak on his behalf, so he whispered to him, “Bo Ren (Zhou Qing’s calligraphy), my whole family has more than 100 people. It’s all up to you.”    

    

As a result, Zhou Qing pretended not to hear as he entered the palace with his head held high. When he came out of the palace, he was already drunk. Director Wang greeted him, but he still ignored him. As he walked, he muttered, “This year we’re going to kill the thieves and get a Great Bucket of Golden Seal …”    

    

Later on, Wang Dun tried to clean up the court, asking Director Wang, “Zhou Qing is also a talent, do you want to be an official?”    

    

After asking him a few times, Director Wang realized that Zhou Qing had refused to help him at the palace gate, so he remained silent. “If you are not worthy of being an official, you should be killed!”    

    

Director Wang was still silent. Thus, Zhou Qing was killed by Wang Dun.    

    

Later on, when Director Wang was sorting out the documents in the Central Book Province, he found that Zhou Qing had tried his best to defend his memorial in his defense. He also heard about the day when he had been kneeling at the entrance of the palace, Zhou Weiqing had fiercely defended the Wang Family as soon as he had entered the palace, just that he had not said it out loud in front of him. Remembering that he had not been able to save him, he felt a strong sense of guilt and said to his sons, “I did not kill him, but he died because of me. In the light of day, this is my good friend! ”    

    

This is the origin of the legend: I did not kill Borin, but Borin died because of me.    

    

Back then, when Yang Fann saw that I didn’t kill his uncle, but his uncle died because of me, the first thought that popped into his mind wasn’t that something was wrong with Director Wang, who caused his uncle’s death.    

    

[You did such a good thing! Not only did you not let the other party know of it, you even chose to act tough. You made it seem as though you are looking down on the other party.    

    

This story fully explained a principle: Don’t pretend to be cool, pretend to be tough to attract Lei Pi, the ancients truly do not bully me!    

    

Therefore, after Yang Fann saved Bing Feng, he was not ready to be a nameless hero. Although it was not appropriate to expose himself now, it was still necessary to let Bing Feng know that he saved her.    

    

A favor was always repaid. Yang Fann owed Bing Feng so much that if he didn’t return it, not to mention what Bing Feng thought of him, even he would feel bad about it.    

    

To return a favor, it was best to let others know. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be returning a favor, but doing a good deed in the dark.    

    

Did Yang Fann like to do good things? If the conditions allowed, Yang Fann would still do some good things. After all, his fault was meddling in other people’s business. Most of the so-called meddling in others’ business was just doing good things.    

    

However, Yang Fann wasn’t a selfless saint. Uncle Lei Feng was the only one who did good deeds without leaving a name. Ordinary people still needed to acknowledge and confirm their good deeds.    

    

The stories of “Zigong Savior” and “Zi Lu Niu Niu” are a good illustration of how to do good things.    

    

One of Confucius’s students, a successful businessman named Zi Gong, responded to the call of the state by travelling abroad on a business trip, redeemed a fellow countryman and later refused the ransom paid by the state.    

    

Another student of Confucius, Zi Lu, saved a drowning man and was given a cow to thank him.    

    

Confucius said: “Alas, no one will ever be able to redeem the people of Lu again!”    

    

After Zi Lu saved someone, he happily accepted the cow that was given to him. After Confucius heard about it, he was very happy and said, “From now on, there will be even more things that can be done to save someone!”    

    

This was the effect of spreading positive energy. If he did something good by himself, how much could he do in his entire life? Only by doing good deeds would it affect more people to do good deeds. That was a good thing!    

    

After throwing the armed leader into the cellar, Yang Fann left the house and returned to a nearby big tree. As he kept the situation in the outside world, he couldn’t wait to start fiddling with the guns he just obtained in his Space of Jade Pendant.    

    

Imitating how it looked on TV, Yang Fann disassembled a good handgun into a pile of parts, and then reassembled them according to his memory. The structure of the handgun was completely imprinted in Yang Fann’s mind after repeated tinkering with it a few times, with his physical fitness and reaction speed, 99% of the veterans in the world were not as fast as him in loading and unloading this model of handgun.    

    

Of course, Yang Fann didn’t know the model of the pistol he was holding right now. All he knew was that there was a giant pentagram on the handle of the gun.    

    

If Yang Fann was a military fan, he would recognize that it was a Chinese 54 pistol at a glance.    

    

Type 54 7.62mm handgun, the product of China’s imitation of the former Soviet Union’s TT1930/1933 handgun, was styled in 1954. Some troops are still equipped to this day, making it the most mass-produced and equipped handgun in China.    

    

Type 54 uses 7.62mm large power handgun grenade, its penetrating power is amazing, even the light body armor cover can not stop it. During the Vietnam War, China provided a lot of assistance to North Vietnam, so a lot of it flowed to the Southeast Asian Arms Market. Because of its low price, great power and convenient maintenance, it was welcomed by low quality users.    

    

For armed forces of this scale, most could only use weapons of the 54th style that had already been eliminated by China. These kinds of sophisticated firearms used by high level mercenaries were not something that a small armed leader could use.    

    

Similarly, he still didn’t know what type of submachine gun it was. It was only repeated a few times, then he basically mastered the usage and fired at the fog wall around the space. It felt great, but it was just that there were too few bullets, so he didn’t dare to pull hard, and it wasn’t fun at all!    

    

If he knew that this would happen, he might as well have snatched away all those escaping fellows!    

    

As a Chinese citizen, Yang Fann had never played with a gun before, especially a poor bastard like him who couldn’t even afford to learn. Not to mention going to the shooting-range to play with a real gun, he hadn’t even played with a proper toy gun before.    

    

The moment Yang Fann touched the real gun, he immediately fell for this toy that was filled with violence. He felt that a place like Myanmar that was relatively chaotic was not bad. If he stayed in China, it wouldn’t be easy for him to play with the real thing!
