"Who are you?"
Looking at the guy in front of him with a swollen face like a pig's head, Gu Dan asked hesitantly.
"Sir, I am Cui Jiu! You helped cure our illness, do you remember?" When Cui Jiu saw Gu Dan, he seemed to have seen a savior. Without any hesitation, he knelt down on the ground and kept kowtowing. : "Please help me!"
Gu Dan frowned, feeling disgusted.
This bastard was a gambling dog. He sold his son and daughter for a few taels of silver and lost a lot of money. He even dared to borrow money from loan sharks in an attempt to recover his money. In the end, he lost all his money and was thrown into jail.
Now the person who is being beaten cannot see his true colors, it can only be said that he deserves it.
Not long after, two strong men walked over quickly. Their faces were full of flesh and it was cold in autumn, but they were shirtless and upper body. At first glance, they were not easy to mess with.
The leading man glanced at Gu Dan a few times. Just by looking at his appearance, he knew that he was either rich or noble. He politely bowed with his fists clasped and said, "Is this little brother familiar with this bastard? I'm in charge of the Qing Gang. , this bastard once borrowed our money and didn't want to repay it, so let's teach him a lesson."
When working in the imperial capital, vision is very important.
To judge whether a person is easy to mess with or not, you can look at his clothes, demeanor, and even his face without knowing anything about him.
He looks ugly, he is dark, and his clothes are dusty and full of patches. At a glance, you can tell that he is a common man who has been drained of strength by working all day long.
Gu Dan, on the other hand, was just the opposite. He had fair skin and exuded a clean and neat aura. Even though he was only wearing a simple green robe, he was something that no one dared to underestimate.
The most important thing is that she is the first person he has ever seen with her wonderful appearance and good expression.
Even the founder of the dynasty would act based on his face. When the first imperial examination was held, the number one candidate was changed to the second place because the original number one was too ugly and was unsightly.
Therefore, seeing Gu Dan's extraordinary temperament and exquisite appearance, he did not dare to neglect him. After all, it depends on the owner when beating a dog.
"Familiar, familiar!"
Seeing that the Qinggang steward seemed a little humbled in front of Gu Dan, Cui Jiu suddenly became energetic and shouted quickly without waiting for Gu Dan to speak.
"Oh, when have we known each other before?"
Gu Dan laughed angrily at Cui Jiu's shameless appearance.
"Sir, you have treated us!" Cui Jiu said immediately.
"I have treated many people. If I treat a patient and know him well, wouldn't Gu have friends all over the world?" Gu Dan stretched out his kick, kicked Cui Jiu aside, and said calmly: "Sorry, I'm so unfamiliar."
Then he looked at the steward of the Qing Gang and said, "You two, please help yourself."
The Qing Gang manager was stunned for a moment, with a ferocious smile on his face. He pulled Cui Jiu up with one hand, "This bastard dares to cling on randomly. Don't worry, we will also take care of your anger." ”
"No, help!"
Cui Jiu struggled wildly in his hands, his eyes filled with fear.
He had almost been beaten to death by two people before. If several people hadn't suddenly rushed past him and attracted their attention, he wouldn't have even had a chance to escape.
I took the opportunity to rush here, just to let the two Qing Gang stewards throw a trap to see if they could escape.
However, Gu Dan didn't give him a chance to show off his power, and made his attitude clear with just one kick.
"If you do evil by God, you can still forgive it; if you do evil by yourself, you will not live."
Gu Dan had no expression on his face as he witnessed Cui Jiu being dragged away like a dead dog by the Green Gang steward.
It is difficult to be a good person, not only because it is difficult to do good deeds for self-interest, but more importantly, are the people being helped grateful?
If you take everything for granted and you help him as if you owe him, then it will be more uncomfortable than eating a fly.
Prisoners in prison can be described as mixed, good or bad, which is a form of praise. How many of them are truly grateful?
It’s not easy to have Ding Ji!
Walking quickly back to the martial arts hall, Gu Worry already had a plan in mind.
After the Dog Emperor granted amnesty to the world, it was no longer possible to go to prison to earn longevity points in a short period of time. Although prisoners would still slowly fill up the prison, it would take time.
The prisoners in the sky jail are not eligible for this amnesty, but dad's lesson is still in his heart, and they must not go now.
'Medical skills can be acquired slowly, I am still very young, and there is no need to rush to earn longevity, but martial arts must be mastered quickly! '
Today's events alarmed Gu Dan.
Even though he has always been kind to others and has never done anything unnecessary besides treating illnesses and saving lives, even treating illnesses and saving lives is risky.
Wang Laotou's ancestral "three sticks for treating diseases" left a deep impression on him. Medical skills alone are not enough. The sticks must also be in hand to have the strength to settle down and live.
If you encounter this kind of thing again, you don't need to think about reasoning with them. You should let them experience force.
Just after returning to the martial arts hall, Gu Dan found Mo Qiu reading at the stone table.
"Come back so soon today?"
Mo Qiu noticed the medicine bag in his hand, "What happened?"
"Emperor Zongming granted a general amnesty to the whole world, and all the prisoners in the prisons were emptied, so naturally there were no more patients."
Gu Dan spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Are you afraid it won't stop? Brother Gu's eyebrows are furrowed, as if he has something on his mind?" Mo Qiu put down the book in his hand and asked.
Gu Dan hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't say that the Dog Emperor's amnesty affected my ability to earn longevity. He could only tell what happened before.
After Mo Qiu listened carefully, he chuckled and said, "It turns out I'm upset about this matter."
"Is this funny?" Gu Dan's face didn't look good.
You treat your good intentions like a donkey's heart and lungs, and you are almost kidnapped by others' morality, which will inevitably make you feel uncomfortable.
"How could it be ridiculous?"
Mo Qiu said seriously: "About ten years ago, when I had just become successful in martial arts and was about to go out to show off my skills, I met a thief."
After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I am going to start training that day, but we have a rule there that we will fight with the master before leaving.
Those who are simply eliminated by the master will be given a pig tail as a gift to the master; those who have fought with the master dozens of times and lost, the master will be given pork butt as a gift; those who have lost a battle with the master will be given to the master. The apprenticeship ceremony of a master is a pig rib; and the apprenticeship ceremony of a person who defeats his master is a whole pig's head. "
At this point, Mo Qiu laughed again, and there seemed to be some light of nostalgia in his eyes, "I won the master, so I went to the butcher's shop that day to buy a whole pig's head for my master."
"Just when I arrived at the store, I noticed an old man sneaking around, with hurried steps and evasive eyes. The butcher was slaughtering livestock and didn't notice. As soon as I arrived at the store, I noticed something was wrong and immediately hid in the blind corner of the man.
Soon, the man found that the butcher was not paying attention, secretly picked up a piece of pig skin, hid it in his arms, and wanted to leave.
I had just become successful in martial arts and wanted to act chivalrously. Naturally, I couldn't bear this kind of thing, so I directly captured him and got both the man and the stolen goods.
But the butcher and the old man actually knew each other, and even called them uncle. Not only did he not blame him, but he also gave the other party a fan of pork. The old man took the meat and left with his face covered.
I was naturally curious, and after asking, I found out that the old man's only son died in the army, and his daughter-in-law was bullied by bullies and committed suicide. The remaining two children depended on him alone to support them.
The butcher said that the old man was a good carpenter when he was young. If anyone in the neighborhood or a family member got married, they would be happy to let him make furniture, and the old man would never refuse, even asking for less money.
Just being kind to others all your life will not lead to a good life. An old man dragging two and a half-year-old children, the life can be imagined. The old man has a stubborn temperament and has never been willing to accept other people's affection.
But some time ago, the young child was seriously ill, and the old man kept his head down and went from door to door to borrow money. It's just that the child is short-lived and his health has never been good. He has borrowed everything he can, and the old man really can't do anything.
As for why he came to steal the pig skin... it was probably because the child wanted to eat some meat, but he was too embarrassed to ask for permission again, right? "
At this point, Mo Qiu's face became heavy, and it could even be said that he was a little sad. "Then one time, I went to the butcher's shop to buy meat again and asked the old man how he was. The butcher said that the day after he gave the old man meat, , the old man gave the eldest child to a relative, and jumped into a dry well with the younger child in his arms."
"this......"
After hearing Mo Qiu's story, Gu Dan didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.
Do bad things with good intentions?
But Mo Qiu didn't know the secret before, so what's wrong with being a heroic hero and catching the thief?
"Later, I will always think of it."
Mo Qiu told this story not because he wanted to hear other people's comments. He already had his own answer, "If it happened again, if Brother Gu were me at that time and knew the hidden truth, would I still take action to capture him?"
"Probably...it won't happen, right?" Gu Dan said hesitantly.
According to Mo Qiu's words, the old man was obviously a good man, but he became a thief once when he had no other choice. He didn't even dare to take the meat, but only took some pig skins.
After being discovered, he committed suicide in shame even though he received the butcher's forgiveness and a piece of meat.
"Yes, that old man was very pitiful. He had been a good person for most of his life, but he did not do any good things. In his later years, he was in trouble and eventually jumped into a well with his seriously ill child and died..."
Mo Qiu shook his head slightly, but then said: "But if it happens again and I already know the inside story, I will give him a piece of meat before he does it. If he can't catch up and he has already got the pig skin, I will still give him a piece of meat." Stop it."
"Um?"
Gu Dan looked at him in surprise.
"The old man stole the pig skin, no matter how good it was, it was still plagiarism.
What's wrong with being a chivalrous person? I did something good, but it caused the old man to commit suicide, so the fault is mine? Where can I find such a statement!
What really caused him to commit suicide was not being caught stealing pig skins. It was his son who joined the army and died in the war, his daughter-in-law who couldn't stand being bullied by bullies and committed suicide, and the child who was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment but wanted to eat meat...all these things added together became the force that took his life. "
Mo Qiu's expression became solemn, "I have thought about this matter over and over again, and finally decided that if I do it again a hundred times, a thousand times, I will still catch him.
We have limited manpower, and if we want to do justice, is it possible that we have to consider the other party's difficulties, investigate the reasons beforehand, and explore the underlying reasons every time before taking action? If so, then there is nothing to do!
Laws and morals should be the standards, and exceeding the standards is a mistake. The yardstick can be relaxed, but it must never be in vain. Today you have no choice but to overstep a little; tomorrow he will have no choice but to do this... and the world will collapse! "
Mo Qiu stood up and his voice became more passionate, "In life, there must be rules. As Brother Gu said before, a warrior's sword should have a sheath, which is very suitable for me. However, the sword with a sheath also needs to be polished from time to time. Don't Deviating from one's original intention.
If you do a good deed, even if the subsequent development is not satisfactory, how can you regard it as your own fault? It’s really self-disturbing! "
Gu Dan was even more surprised.
What was surprising was that the depth of Mo Qiu's view of the matter was completely beyond his expectation.
Humans are emotional animals, and it is difficult to judge everything with complete rationality without their own thoughts, and it is inevitable that temporary emotions will affect themselves.
But Mo Qiu has grasped the most critical context through recalling it again and again. If he continues to think deeply, it will become dangerous.
The sword in Mo Qiu's heart is a sheath made of law and morality, in order to seek justice and justice.
But this must be painful, because in such an era, what do justice and justice mean? How far can one person achieve?
Although I am enlightening him, I am not trying to convince myself.
"Been taught a lesson!"
Gu Dan nodded slightly, and the slight unhappiness in his heart disappeared.
His original intention is to cure diseases and save people, so that he can stay young and live forever.
Treating diseases and saving lives is a process, but eternal youth and immortality are the goals.
As long as you stay true to your heart, the process can be tortuous, and the future will be bright!
Even if the amnesty for the world had some impact on him, it was just that his longevity was accumulated slowly.
After thinking about this, I cursed again: The dog emperor will not die well!
...
Time flies, and two months have passed quietly.
Gu Dan's life is quite regular. Since the amnesty, he no longer has to go to prison. He practices martial arts peacefully every day. When he is too tired to move, he takes out his medical books and observes. Although there is no entertainment activity, It can be considered fulfilling.
As for the business of the health medicine store, it cannot be said that it is empty, it can only be said that it is half-dead.
If you want to open a pharmacy in this era, you must have enough fame and prestige, and only after you are recognized can patients dare to come to you.
He is too young. Even if someone comes and learns that he is the one who diagnoses and treats someone, even if he is a ninth-grade doctor at such a young age, they would not dare to believe that even if they take some medicine, it would be considered as a favor. This is why Xu Zhian is not willing to let him open a pharmacy now.
Gu Dan didn't take it seriously. It was unusual for the drug store to have a constant stream of patients just after it opened.
After ten or twenty years, when everyone gets used to it, we can put up the sign of a century-old store. By then, will there still be no patients coming?
It is worth mentioning that on the day when he was practicing "Shocking Cicada" for the first time he felt blood energy, Gong Shangguo happened to visit.
He intended to compete with Gong Shang to test his own level.
The result... After one set of Xia Jiba, he was hit with more than twenty punches, and he almost couldn't get out of bed for a whole day.
This further strengthened Gu Dan's idea of being kind to others.
At this time, Gu Dan was sipping tea under a big willow tree in the courtyard. It had just snowed yesterday, so the scenery in the courtyard had a unique flavor.
The aroma of tea was refreshing, and this good tea was given to him with an apology and justice.
"It tastes good. When you are almost done drinking it, you can meet Gongshang Guo for a discussion." Gu Dan was sipping tea, holding a book, and looking at the snowy scene. His life was very pleasant.
"Brother Gu, Brother Gu!"
While Gu Dan was reading a medical book, Wang Mang came running over, approached him with excitement, and said in a low voice: "Brother Gu, I will help you kill the people who offended you. Can you do me a favor?" good?"
Gu Dan: "???"
