Qiao Zhengyu wondered: "Oh, why is this? Could it be that the man is dead or very poor, and he can't afford to pay back at all?"

Zhang Tianhao was silent for a moment, got up and said, "No, it's just the opposite." Far from dying, the man was alive and well. I remember meeting him when he was drinking and having fun in a big house. There are countless beautiful dancers, a table full of delicious food, and a bright headlamp that illuminates the whole room gorgeously.

He was sitting in the middle of the hall, with a glass of wine in his hand, enjoying what he saw. When he saw me, I had lifted him up: 'You live in style, pay back my master's money.' The man was stunned for a while before he suddenly came to his senses and said, "It's okay to pay back the money, please sit down first." ’

When I saw that he was sincere, I put him down and sat aside. I heard him say again: 'I already know your intentions, but please give me a few days, and I will definitely return the money.' I shouted angrily: 'What, don't you have money, why do you have to wait a few days?' No, you have to pay it back now, or don't blame me for being rude!'

But the man was not afraid, smiled bitterly, and said, "The hero must have misunderstood, everything you see now is an illusion, in fact, everything here is rented, just to hide from my poor old mother." I was stunned for a moment, only to hear him say again: 'My mother is terminally ill, and there are not a few days left, she has been poor all her life, and has never enjoyed a good day. This hero, please rest assured, just wait for my mother to return to heaven, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will definitely pay back all the money, and I will never break my promise.

I immediately stopped, and just as I was hesitating, I saw an old lady slowly coming out of the back hall, her eyes blank, but blind. When the man saw this, he quickly got up, ran to him, and helped her.

"'Feng'er, is there a guest coming, then don't slack off, good wine and good food, don't be indifferent to the guests. When the man heard this, he looked bitter and nodded, and said, "Mother rest assured, how can I neglect a guest in my rich family." Go in, and I'll entertain the guests." Holding the old lady, he retreated into the back hall.

Everything in front of me was so familiar, I couldn't help but think of my parents, and I immediately cried. After crying for a while, I suddenly made a decision in my heart that I would go back, and even if the matter was not completed, I would give an explanation to Master. So I left there, went back to Master, and knelt in front of Him. ”

Qiao Zhengyu shook his head and said, "I can't think of the easiest thing to do, but it's the hardest thing to accomplish, I think your master will be unhappy now, and he can't kick you out." ”

Who knew that Zhang Tianhao shook his head and said: "No, Uncle Qiao is just the opposite, my master is a weirdo, when he heard me finish the whole thing, he actually showed a smile." And he stretched out his hand and pulled me up, and said, 'Okay, you have passed this third level.' Hurry up, I've decided to take you. ’

"I was in a fog, and it was like a dream. Seeing that I was puzzled, Master smiled and said, "I don't know, but the three things that Master wants you to do are to hone your will, suppress your nature, and make you no longer irritable and angry in the future, but handle everything calmly and rationally.

"It's like the first thing, as long as it's a human being, no one is not angry, let alone someone like you. On weekdays, you are used to bullying others, how can you stand this anger, but you can do it without fighting back, scolding without returning the mouth, just by virtue of this, you are far beyond ordinary people.

"And then the second thing, although the work of picking up dung is low, and it is looked down upon by others, someone must do it. The teacher specially arranged for you to do this, but also to let you feel the feeling at that time, so that you can realize that every job in this world must be respected, even if it is low. So he unconsciously realized the pain and difficulty of the people, and changed his own concept.

Finally, the third thing seems easy on the surface, but in fact it is something that involves human nature, and it is quite difficult to do. If you use your hands violently and force the person to pay back the money, and you have completed the task, but you have lost your humanity, then what difference is it from an animal? The reason why people are human is because they have feelings, family affection, and conscience, and if they lose these, they are no longer human. ”

"After the Master finished speaking, he looked at me and said, 'Actually, I have heard about you, but when you found me, I saw that you were very angry, and the time had not yet come, so I deliberately embarrassed you. After these days of training, you have finally changed yourself, the so-called 'morning news and death', you can understand this truth, what reason is there for the teacher not to agree to accept you. ’

"Only then did I understand his painstaking efforts, and I couldn't help but fall to my knees and cry: 'Thank you Master for your teaching, and in the future, you will definitely follow Master to cultivate yourself and become a useful person for the country.' Master pulled me up, looked at me and nodded.

"I followed Master for many years, and it wasn't until after he passed away that I left that sad place. Later, when the country was invaded by foreign powers, I enthusiastically signed up for the army. Every time I fight, I am at the forefront, fighting hard to kill the enemy, and dedicating my strength to the country.

"Because of my meritorious service in killing the enemy and my courage in battle, I have been appreciated by the state, and my official position has been constantly rising. From the small soldier at the beginning to the captain of the guard later, by the time I drove the foreign enemy out of the country, I was already a great general. ”

When Zhang Tianhao said this, he couldn't help but be arrogant, got up and took off his clothes, revealing a strong muscle, and said: "Uncle Qiao, you see, every scar on my body was left on the battlefield, but I don't regret it, because I think until then, I can proudly tell everyone: for the country and the people, I Zhang Tianhao has a clear conscience." ”

Qiao Zhengyu saw that his body was full of sword wounds, covering his entire body, he couldn't help but be moved, and arched his hand: "Sure enough, it's a lot of anger." Zhang Daxia is so courageous, he deserves to be a real hero and a real man. ”

Zhang Tianhao said with a smile: "Uncle Qiao has won the award, this is what I should do, and there is nothing to praise." "I got dressed and sat down again.

Qiao Zhengyu said: "Then later, why did you come here, the country needs talents like you, you should stay in the court." ”

Zhang Tianhao waved his hand and said: "I'm just a rough person, it's okay to compete in martial arts, but if I want to be an official in the court, it's a layman." Besides, there are always some people in the court, who form cliques and factions on weekdays, and I can't get used to the behavior of those people, so I took the initiative to resign.

Later, on the way back to his hometown, he happened to meet Brother Ma. It was also our same interests, I opened my heart and chatted with him for three days and three nights, and Brother Ma's realm was really much higher than ours, and I only heard what he said, which immediately made me pause, so I decided to follow him, so I came here. ”

got up and arched his hand at Ma Guangyun and said, "Big brother, the reason why my little brother is here today is thanks to the teachings of my eldest brother. The younger brother is grateful, and thanks to the eldest brother for his painstaking teaching over the years. ”

Ma Guangyun said with a smile: "Where does the second brother say, why do you come here too, this is not like your style." Just one sentence made the two of them laugh, so unhappy.

Qiao Zhengyu said with a smile: "So that's the case, that's fine, it's not easy to meet a confidant in your life, let alone having two such confidants." I see that the three of you brothers have a deep relationship, and they are no worse than Liu Bei and others, and I really envy others. ”

After a pause, he said, "I heard the deeds of Luo Daxia and Zhang Daxia just now, and I was deeply touched. One is because of love, although it is miserable, but it can also see through the red dust and concentrate on cultivation; the other is knowing that mistakes can be changed, and good is great, just ask how many people in ancient and modern times can do this. But I don't know what amazing experience Ma Daxia has, I want to continue listening. ”

Ma Guangyun said with a smile: "Since Uncle Qiao wants to hear it, then I might as well be respectful." ”

After pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "If you want to say that I am different from them, the two of them are more or less able to do some martial arts, but I am a weak scholar.

"Naturally, I can't compare to them in fights, but if I compare it to my family property, I still have some advantages. Because his father is a businessman, coupled with his smart mind and good life, his business is booming, and his family has some financial resources, and he is known as the 'richest man' in the local area. ”

"Ma Guangyun, why is this name so familiar? Oh, I remembered, it turned out to be him, no wonder he is so rich, are all rich people with this name?" Qiao Zhengyu thought while listening, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

"My father had a successful business, and of course he wanted me to inherit his family business, so he strongly urged me to learn business from him. But my heart is not here, I just want to study, and rely on my own ability to gain fame. At first, my father also felt that I was reasonable, and he did not force me. But after several township exams, I fell to Sun Shan, and my father began to waver a little because of this.

"One day, he found me and said to me, 'Yun'er, being a father is not an unreasonable person, it is best for you to gain fame by yourself, but everyone's ability is limited, some things can not be achieved by hard work, it is better to be realistic. I understood the meaning of his words, nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, please give me another chance, if I fail the exam next time, everything will be arranged by my father." ’

When my father saw that I had said this, he was not easy to force, so he nodded and agreed to my plea. It seemed like a very uneventful thing, but in my heart, it was like a heavy stone weighing on my heart, and I was almost out of breath. Because the more I tried to prove that what I had done was not wrong, the more pressure I felt in my heart, so much so that I could not calm down and read until the day came。。。。。。 ”

Ma Guangyun paused, sighed, and continued: "On the day the list opened, I stood there from morning to night, staring at the list. But unfortunately, although there are many names on it, I can't find the one that surprises me.
