Chapter 043: The Past (3)
After leaving Hao's house, Zhang Dehan felt that there was no hope in life, the woman he loved was also dead, and he had nowhere to go, so he thought of dying.
Step by step, he walked towards the river, ready to jump.
At the moment of jumping, he remembered his father, remembered the scene when his father died, and the flame of revenge burned again, why Zhao Tianlong is alive and well, but I want to die.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dehan walked towards his village, and he wanted to die with Zhao Tianlong.
His current place was about a hundred miles from his hometown, and it would take at least three days to get there.
After walking for a day and a night, feeling thirsty and hungry, he went to a house.
After knocking on the door, an old lady stepped out of the house.
The old lady asked him, "Young man, what is the matter with you?" ”
Zhang Dehan said embarrassedly: "Auntie, I am a passer-by, can I ask you for a drink." ”
The old lady said kindly, "Hey, what's not to do. Come in and sit down. ”
"I'll bring you a bowl of water to drink."
After a while, the old man brought the water tremblingly, took two nests, and said enthusiastically: "Young man, I see that you are not only thirsty, but also very hungry." I don't have anything good to eat at home. ”
"Eat two nests to satisfy your hunger."
Zhang Dehan said with a grateful face: "Thank you, old man." ”
The old man smiled and wanted to say something, but suddenly his body shook, his head fell, and he fell to the ground.
Zhang Dehan was frightened, hurriedly went up to help the old man, and kept shouting: "Old man, old man, are you okay?" ”
The old man slowly opened his eyes, and said in a weak voice: "I have an old problem, go to the east of the village and ask the white god doctor to come." ”
Zhang Dehan slowly put the old man down, ran quickly to the east end of the village, and asked around where Doctor Bai lived.
Under the guidance of the villagers, he saw a house made of bamboo, stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, shouting, "Is the white divine doctor here?" ”
"What's the matter, come in." A middle-aged man's voice came from inside, the voice was pure, but with a hint of coldness.
Zhang Dehan pushed the door and went in, and saw two children who were about the same age as himself, grinding medicinal herbs there.
In the center of the courtyard, there is a reclining chair, on which lies a middle-aged man in his forties, who is very thin and has a mustache.
At this moment, he is lying on the chaise longue, his eyes slightly closed, rocking the chaise longue while holding a teapot with a spout and drinking tea.
"I'd like to ask you to see a patient." Zhang Dehan whispered.
"Did you bring anything?" The middle-aged man didn't raise his eyelids, and said in a cold voice.
"What's that?" Zhang Dehan asked curiously.
"Don't you know my rules?"
"If you ask me to see a doctor, no matter how big or small, you need a gold bar." The middle-aged man felt that the kid in front of him was not a local, so he couldn't help but open his eyes and look at him.
"But, I don't have any money, you can save people first, okay?" Zhang Dehan prayed.
"That's not good, rules are rules." The middle-aged man refused.
Zhang Dehan didn't speak, 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 slightly.
"No, we don't know each other, I just begged for a bowl of water at her house." Zhang Dehan explained.
At this time, no one in the courtyard noticed it, and a trace of joy appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and then he asked with a serious expression: "I just met." Are you willing to save her like this? ”
"But the rules on my side can't be broken, it's better to be like this, you can be a servant for me on my side, there is no salary, and if you work for ten years, it will be your medical fee."
Zhang Dehan hesitated, bit his lip and said, "Okay, as long as you are willing to save the old man." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he didn't hesitate and walked towards the old woman's house with Qin Yuan.
After the middle-aged man looked at the old man for a while, he took out the silver needle, and only pricked it once, and the old man woke up.
After the old man woke up, he thanked the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man did not speak, turned around and took Zhang Dehan back home.
"You, go and get me a basin for washing my feet." The middle-aged man ordered Zhang Dehan.
Zhang Dehan was a little reluctant in his heart, but he saw that the eyes of the other two children were full of joy, and one of them said to him: "Go quickly, what a good thing." Hurry up and fetch water for Master. ”
Somehow, Zhang Dehan suddenly felt that something good was going to happen to him.
Hurriedly ran outside to fetch water.
Just as he was going out, a child suddenly asked the middle-aged man, "Master, do you plan to accept apprentices again?" ”
Another younger child happily said, "Great, I will have a junior brother in the future." ”
The middle-aged man smiled rarely and said, "You two are quite smart, how good this smart energy is to use in cultivating medical skills." ”
The two children stuck out their tongues lightly, not daring to speak.
After a while, Zhang Dehan came in with a basin of steaming footwater. put it in front of a middle-aged man.
An older child said, "What are you doing standing, washing Master's feet?" ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand and asked Zhang Dehan, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Zhang Dehan, and I am eighteen years old this year." Zhang Dehan introduced himself.
"I feel that you have a very kind heart and want to take you as an apprentice. Would you like to? The middle-aged man's face was serious, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Zhang Dehan was stunned when he heard this, he had seen the medical skills of the middle-aged man just now, if he could learn his skills, would he still need to wander like this?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "I am willing, I am willing." ”
"I don't want you to wash Master's feet quickly." Another disciple of the middle-aged man reminded beside him.
Zhang Dehan hurriedly squatted down to wash the middle-aged man's feet.
"My name is Bai Yun, these two are the apprentices I accepted before, the older one is called Qin Hai, and the younger one is called Qu Ming." The old man said this and pointed to the two apprentices beside him.
Zhang Dehan happily washed his feet and greeted the two little apprentices. Since then, he has followed Bai Yun to learn medical skills, and he has been studying for five years.
In the past five years, the flame of revenge in his heart has not been extinguished, but has become more and more vigorous.
Until Zhang Dehan was 23 years old, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, went to explain to Bai Yun that he wanted to take revenge, and told Bai Yun the ins and outs of the matter.
Bai Yun sighed after hearing this, and said, "Support your idea for the teacher." ”
"After five years, I found that your understanding is not very high, what you have learned is at the end of this, and the next thing is to teach you again for the teacher, you can't learn it, you can go."
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 taking revenge." ”
Bai Yun said angrily: "Don't you understand the words? Let me go now. ”
Seeing that the master was really angry, Zhang Dehan didn't dare to speak, and reluctantly turned around and prepared to leave.
Just as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Bai Yun say again: "Don't take revenge on your own. Think about other ways, and nothing that can be solved with money is a problem. ”
"Also, in the future, when you walk the rivers and lakes, and others ask, don't say that I taught you, so as not to cause yourself to be killed."
Zhang Dehan knelt on the ground three more times and kowtowed, and said in a choked tone, "Thank you, Master." ”
Baiyun turned his back to him and did not speak.
After Zhang Dehan came out of Baiyun's house, he simply cleaned up and prepared to leave, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he ran into Qin Hai and Qu Ming.
Qin Hai put a small box in his hand in Zhang Dehan's hand, and said with reluctance in his tone: "Dehan, this is what Master asked me to give you." ”
"Master told you not to open it yet, and then open it when 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 it was a box of gold bars.
With tears in his eyes, Zhang Dehan knelt in the direction of Baiyun, kowtowed three times, and said movingly: "Master, I can't repay your great kindness." ”
Then he stood up, took a machete bought at the bazaar, and walked towards Zhao Tianlong's house.
Halfway through, he suddenly thought of what Master had said to him, "Think of other ways, and everything that can be solved with money is not a problem." ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Dehan stood up and patted his head, "I have money now, why do I have to go by myself." ”
"Since he is a bandit, why can't I find another gang of bandits to kill him?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Dehan went home, took a few gold bars and walked towards another mountain at home.
He knew that the bandits that Zhao Tianlong participated in at that time were the bandits of Chishan, and his main force was also the gang of people on Chishan.
As far as he knew, the bandits of Lezheng Mountain and the bandits of Chishan fought all year round because of the problem of the chassis. And directly opposite Chishan is Lezheng Mountain.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dehan stopped and walked towards Le Zhengshan.
When the sky was dark, Zhang Dehan came to Lezheng Mountain, and after reporting to the little minions outside, he walked in and saw a middle-aged man with a full beard sitting in the hall.
After seeing Zhang Dehan, the middle-aged man asked, "Who are you and what are you looking for 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, "Kill whom?" ”
"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 the sworn brother of Huanglong."
"Do you think these two gold bars are enough to kill him?"
Zhang Dehan smiled slightly: "Those two are not enough, twenty is enough, right?" ”
The middle-aged man's face hesitated, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Twenty roots are enough to kill his whole family." ”
"But I don't want to go."
"Someone, take him down." The middle-aged man beckoned, and several sturdy men rushed up and pressed Zhang Dehan to the ground.
Zhang Dehan laughed and said fiercely: "Come on, you have the ability to kill me." ”
"Kill me, and you'll only get two gold bars."
