After leaving the Hao family, Zhang Dehan felt that he had no hope in life, his beloved woman was dead, and he had nowhere to go, so he thought of dying.
He walked towards the river step by step, preparing to jump into the river.
At the moment of jumping, he thought of his father and the scene when his father died, and the flame of revenge burned again. Why is Zhao Tianlong alive and well, but I have to die.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dehan walked towards his village. He wanted to die together with Zhao Tianlong.
His current place is about a hundred miles away from his hometown, and it would take at least three days to get there.
After walking for a day and night, he felt thirsty and hungry, so he walked towards a house.
After knocking on the door, an old lady walked out of the house.
The old lady asked him: "Young man, what's the matter with you?"
Zhang Dehan said embarrassedly: "Madam, I am a passerby passing by. Can I ask you for a drink of water?"
The old lady said kindly: "Hey, what can't you do? Come in and sit down."
"I'll get you a bowl of water."
After a while, the old man brought the water over tremblingly, took two pieces of steamed bread, and said enthusiastically: "Young man, I think you are not only thirsty, but also very hungry. I don't have anything delicious at home."
"You can eat two steamed buns to satisfy your hunger."
Zhang Dehan said with gratitude: "Thank you, old man."
The old man smiled and wanted to say something, but suddenly his body swayed, his head stumbled, and he fell to the ground.
Zhang Dehan was frightened, and hurriedly went up to help the old man up, shouting repeatedly: "Old man, are you okay, old man?"
The old man slowly opened his eyes and said in a weak voice: "I'm suffering from an old problem. Come to the east of the village and ask Doctor Bai to come."
Zhang Dehan slowly put the old man down and quickly ran to the east end of the village, asking around where Doctor Bai lived.
Under the guidance of the villagers, he saw a house made of bamboo, stepped forward and knocked on the door gently, shouting: "Is Dr. Bai here?"
"What's the matter? Come in." A middle-aged man's voice came from inside. The voice was very pure, but with a hint of coldness.
Zhang Dehan pushed the door open and saw two children about his own age grinding medicinal materials there.
In the center of the yard, there is a deck chair. Lying on the deck chair is a middle-aged man in his forties. The middle-aged man is very thin and has a mustache.
At this moment, he was lying on the recliner with his eyes slightly closed, rocking the recliner and drinking tea from a teapot with a spout.
"I want to ask you to see a patient." Zhang Dehan requested in a low voice.
"Have you brought anything?" the middle-aged man said in a cold voice without even raising his eyelids.
"What?" Zhang Dehan asked curiously.
"Don't you know the rules here?"
"If you want me to see a doctor, no matter how big or small the illness is, you need a gold bar." The middle-aged man felt that the boy in front of him was not a local, so he couldn't help but open his eyes and take a look at him.
"But, I don't have money, can you save people first?" Zhang Dehan prayed.
"That's not okay, the rules are the rules." The middle-aged man refused.
Zhang Dehan didn't say anything, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and kept praying: "Please, save her."
"What is the relationship between the person you want to save and you? Is it your mother?" the middle-aged man asked, his cold eyes softening a little.
"No, we don't know each other. I just asked for a bowl of water at her house." Zhang Dehan explained.
At this time, no one in the yard noticed. A hint of joy appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and then he asked with a serious expression: "We just met. Are you willing to save her like this?"
"But I can't break the rules here. Why don't you work as a servant here for me without any wages? If you work for ten years, it will be your medical expenses."
Zhang Dehan hesitated for a moment, bit his lip and said, "Okay, as long as you are willing to save the old man."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man did not hesitate and took Qin Yuan to his wife's house.
After looking at the old man for a while, the middle-aged man took out the silver needle and inserted just one needle, and the old man woke up.
After the old man woke up, he thanked the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man said nothing, turned around and took Zhang Dehan back home.
"You, go get me a basin of water to wash my feet." The middle-aged man ordered Zhang Dehan.
Zhang Dehan was a little reluctant, but he saw that the eyes of the other two children were full of joy. One of them said to him: "Go quickly, what a good thing. Hurry up and get water for Master."
Somehow, Zhang Dehan suddenly felt that something good was going to happen to him.
He hurriedly ran outside to fetch water.
Just when he was going out, a child suddenly asked the middle-aged man: "Master, do you have any plans to recruit disciples again?"
Another smaller child said happily: "Great, I will have a junior brother in the future."
The middle-aged man gave a rare smile and said, "You two are quite smart. It would be great to use this smartness in practicing medicine."
The two children stuck out their tongues slightly and did not dare to speak.
After a while, Zhang Dehan came in with a basin of steaming foot-washing water and placed it in front of the middle-aged man.
An older child said: "What are you standing for? Washing Master's feet."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and asked Zhang Dehan: "What is your name?"
"My name is Zhang Dehan, I am eighteen years old this year." Zhang Dehan introduced himself.
"I feel that you are very kind-hearted and want to accept you as your disciple. Are you willing?" The middle-aged man had a serious face but could not hide the joy on his face.
Zhang Dehan was stunned when he heard this. He had seen the middle-aged man's medical skills just now. If he could learn his skills, would he still be wandering like this?
Thinking of this, he quickly said: "I do, I do."
"If you are willing, why don't you wash Master's feet quickly?" Another disciple of the middle-aged man reminded him from the side.
Zhang Dehan quickly squatted down and washed the middle-aged man's feet.
"My name is Bai Yun, and these two are my former apprentices. The older one is Qin Hai, and the younger one is Qu Ming." The old man said this and pointed to the two apprentices beside him.
Zhang Dehan happily washed his feet and greeted his two young apprentices. From then on, he learned medical skills from Bai Yun, which lasted five years.
In the past five years, the flame of revenge in his heart has not been extinguished, but has become stronger and stronger.
It wasn't until Zhang Dehan was 23 years old that he couldn't help the anger in his heart, went to Bai Yun to explain his idea of revenge, and told Bai Yun the whole story.
After hearing this, Bai Yun sighed and said, "Master, I support your idea."
"After five years, I have found that your understanding is not very high. What you have learned has come to an end. Even if I teach you as a teacher, you will not be able to learn it. You can leave."
When Zhang Dehan heard this, with tears in his eyes, he knelt on the ground and prayed: "Master, don't drive me away. I want to continue to serve you when I come back after revenge."
Bai Yun said angrily: "Don't you understand? Leave me now."
Seeing that the master was really angry, Zhang Dehan did not dare to speak and turned around reluctantly to leave.
Just when he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Bai Yun say again: "Don't rely solely on yourself for revenge. Think of other ways. Things that can be solved with money are no big deal."
"Also, when you are walking around the world in the future, and others ask you, don't tell me that I taught you, otherwise you will be killed."
Zhang Dehan knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and said with a choked voice: "Thank you, Master."
Bai Yun turned his back to him and did not speak.
After Zhang Dehan came out of Baiyun's house, he simply tidied up and prepared to leave. As soon as he walked out of the door, he ran into Qin Hai and Qu Ming.
Qin Hai put a small box in Zhang Dehan's hand and said with reluctance in his tone: "Dehan, this is what Master asked me to give to you."
"Master asked you not to open it yet, and then open it after you return to your hometown."
Zhang Dehan nodded, picked up the box and left.
When he returned to his dilapidated home, he curiously opened the box, only to find that there was a box of gold bars inside.
With tears in his eyes, Zhang Dehan knelt down in the direction of Bai Yun, kowtowed three times, and said movedly: "Master, I can't repay you for your great kindness."
Then he stood up, took a machete bought at the market, and walked towards Zhao Tianlong's home.
When he was halfway there, he suddenly thought of what his master had said to him, "Think of other ways. Things that can be solved with money are nothing."
Thinking of this, Zhang Dehan stood still and patted his forehead, "I have money now, why do I have to go by myself."
"Since he is a bandit, why can't I find another bandit to kill him?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Dehan returned home, took a few gold bars and walked towards another mountain at home.
He knew that the bandits Zhao Tianlong joined at that time were bandits from Chishan, and his main force was also the group from Chishan.
As far as he knew, the bandits in Lezhengshan and the bandits in Chishan had been fighting all the year round due to chassis problems. Moreover, Chishan was directly opposite Lezhengshan.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dehan stopped and walked towards Lezheng Mountain.
When the sky was dark, Zhang Dehan arrived at Lezheng Mountain. After reporting to the minions outside, he walked in and saw a middle-aged man with a beard sitting in the hall.
After seeing Zhang Dehan, the middle-aged man asked: "Who are you and what do you want from me?"
Zhang Dehan took out two gold bars and said, "I want you to help me kill someone."
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who to kill?"
"Zhao Tianlong." Zhang Dehan said.
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Do you know who Zhao Tianlong is?"
"He is the bandit leader of Chishan and Huanglong's sworn brother."
"Do you think these two gold bars are enough to kill him?"
Zhang Dehan smiled slightly: "Those two are not enough, twenty are enough?"
The middle-aged man looked hesitant. After thinking for a while, he said, "Twenty sticks are enough to kill his whole family."
"But I don't want to go."
"Come here, take him down." The middle-aged man waved, and several strong men swarmed up and pushed Zhang Dehan to the ground.
Zhang Dehan laughed and said fiercely: "Come on, kill me if you can."
