Chapter 58: Be a Good Person

  After listening to Long Yan's words, Chen Changhe knelt down with a thud: "I'm willing, as long as you let me stay, I'll do whatever you want. Disciple is kowtowing to you." He then knocked his head three times with a loud bang.

  Longyan smiled and walked forward, personally helping him up: "Don't be in a hurry to call me Master, you have to agree with me on one thing before I'll consider your big brother's proposal."

  Chen Changhe said excitedly: "Don't say one thing, even a hundred things I will agree with you."

  "Hmm," Long Yan nodded in satisfaction, his expression serious as he said, "People often say that a man has gold under his knees. If you want to stay here, you must change your habit of kneeling down whenever you see someone. I don't like weak-willed boys."

  Chen Changhe smiled, but before he could speak, the big brother had already taken over with a smile: "Master Long, you're wrong about this kid. He's got a hard bone. Remember when he first joined us? A small leader wanted to give him a warning and make him kneel down for me, but he fought back with that kid, his eyes red with anger, and refused to kneel."

  Long Yan smiled: "Oh? Is that so? Then why do you kneel down as soon as you see me, huh? Trying to fawn on me, you little brat?"

  One sentence made three people laugh.

  Big Brother patted Chen Changhe's shoulder when he left, and said with a heavy heart: "Changhe, you little devil has bad luck, but good fortune. It's rare for Master Long to take a liking to you. From now on, follow Master Long and be a good person. Don't be like me, living for over 20 years without being able to distinguish between human and ghost, unable to sleep or walk peacefully. Just like your dad said, one must strive to be a good person. Big Brother won't come visit you again, lest it has a bad influence on you." As he spoke, Big Brother's eyes reddened.

  Chen Changhe also cried, to be honest, although the big brother is a master who relies on begging and deceiving people, no matter how he treats others, he has always been quite good to Chen Changhe.

  He cried and said: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely listen to Master Long's words, listen to your words, and be a good person."

  The older brother nodded his head and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end didn't say anything. He turned around and walked away.

  Looking at his brother's somewhat desolate back, Chen Changhe felt a warmth in his heart, and he shouted "Brother" as he rushed over to hug his legs from behind.

  Big brother turned around, forcing a smile: "You little brat, why make it so life-and-death? If you really miss big brother, just say hello when you see him on the street, no need to pretend not to know him."

  Chen Changhe sobbed and said, "Big brother, I'm sorry to you. I secretly hid some money in a place where no one knows, about 500 or 600 yuan. I'll tell you the location, go get it."

  Big brother was taken aback, and suddenly burst out laughing: "You little scamp, you really have your own ways! You can even stash private money under my nose. Well done! At such a young age, you've got guts and brains. Originally, I wanted to leave some money for you, but Dragon Master wouldn't let me, saying that my money is tainted, and telling you to completely break with the past from today on. Since you've already stashed it away, consider it your own money then. You can keep it for yourself, and if you want to eat something good in the future, just go buy it yourself. Don't bother me about it. These few years have been tough enough, so just take it as a gift from big brother."

  The door of the living room, Longyan quietly watched this scene, did not make a sound, only in the eyes added a few heartaches, a few comforts, also had a few regrets, a few unbearable, quite let people savor!

  Three days after Big Brother left, Longyan called Chen Changhe over and said to him: "I've found a school for you, go study."

  Chen Changhe was taken aback: "I don't want to go to school, I want to practice martial arts. Master, teach me how to practice martial arts, I can endure hardship."

  Longyan sighed and said seriously to him, "Child, if you want to stand firm in this society, it's impossible without culture. Your master didn't expect you to learn much, but at the very least, you should be able to recognize characters. You say your father is a rural doctor, I don't believe it, he must have taught you to recognize characters when you were young, and he must understand the importance of culture."

  Chen Changhe didn't dare tell Longyan about how his father used to punish him by making him kneel when he was a kid because he couldn't recognize characters.

  Dad was busy and often had to go out to treat illnesses for mountain villagers, leaving him alone like a kingless bee. He liked fighting from a young age, at five years old he followed an acrobat for more than three months. Just when his dad was worried sick, he returned with great satisfaction. His dad was relieved but also gave Chen Changhe a good scolding.

  Chen Changhe, who had been beaten, told his father that he had followed the street performer for several months, but did not tell his father that the street performer was a former member of a martial arts team who had retired due to injury. He also didn't tell his father that the street performer said he had a great talent for martial arts and taught him many moves during those three months.

  Of course, he didn't dare tell his father that he wanted to elope with the street performer. The street performer disagreed and only let him remember what she had taught him by beating him to death before sending him back to the village entrance.

  Because Chen Changhe's father was born in a mountain village and lived in a mountain village, he was a person who strongly opposed violence and armed force!
