Although Mr. Duan looked confused and spoke unclearly, based on his medical skills, he really looked like the long-lost junior brother that the master mentioned.
At that time, his master Duan Haocang told him that he had a junior fellow apprentice named Duan Tiande.
This junior fellow apprentice is much younger than him, he could almost be his son.
He loved this junior fellow apprentice very much and took care of him every day. It can be said that he watched his junior fellow apprentice grow up.
After growing up, this junior fellow apprentice was extremely intelligent and capable. He quickly learned many advanced medical skills, and even he felt inferior to him.
However, their master did not teach him kung fu, because he said that he hated fighting and killing the most and only liked to heal illnesses and save lives.
In this way, the junior fellow lived with him and the master until he was in his twenties. But one day he found that the junior fellow was missing.
This made Duan Haocang a little puzzled, and he hurriedly went to the Taoist temple to look for him everywhere, but after searching for a while, he still couldn't find his junior brother.
Later, it was his master who told him that his fellow apprentice had left.
Duan Haocang was greatly surprised. Why would his junior brother, who was staying so well with him, suddenly leave?
The master then told him the truth. It turned out that his fellow disciple already had a lover and planned to live with him/her forever.
Duan Haocang was stunned after hearing this. He didn't know anything about this matter! He thought his junior brother was a naive young man who didn't know anything.
I didn't expect that he had already found a partner and was enjoying a wonderful life.
Duan Haocang felt very upset. This ungrateful junior brother didn't even say goodbye to him before leaving!
It was a waste that he had loved him all these years, and Duan Haocang was sad for many days because of this.
It was not until one morning ten days later that his junior brother appeared before him again, bringing a gentle girl with him.
The two men came up to him at the same time, knelt down and bowed to him, and brought him many things.
Duan Haocang's eyes turned red in an instant, and he scolded his junior brother for leaving without saying a word.
The junior fellow hurriedly pulled his wife to offer him tea, saying that he had something urgent to do that day and left quickly, and now was the time for him to formally meet his senior fellow.
Although Duan Haocang was angry, he was very happy for his junior brother when he saw that his junior brother and his sister-in-law had a good relationship and the girl was very generous.
From then on, the two of them made a living by farming at the foot of the Taoist temple.
They would come to the mountain to visit their master and fellow practitioners every few days and bring them lots of food.
Two years later, three more people came to visit the mountain.
The junior fellow had a son named Duan Feng, who was handsome and very likable.
Duan Haocang never understood the matters between men and women in his entire life, and he was determined to practice hard, so he had already cut off all worldly ties.
But when he saw that his junior brother's family was so happy, he was happy for him too.
But the good times didn't last long, as his master passed away and he was the only one left on the mountain.
Although Duan Haocang felt sad, he was very happy because his junior brother and his family often came to see him.
However, misfortune befell him again. One year, his fellow apprentice did not come up the mountain to see him for half a month.
Duan Haocang found it a bit strange, but he thought that his junior brother might have too much to do, so he didn't go down to check.
But in the blink of an eye, another half a month passed and they still didn't come.
Duan Haocang finally couldn't wait any longer and hurried down the mountain to look for his fellow apprentice.
But after going down, he was dumbfounded because his fellow apprentice and his family were gone.
From then on, Duan Haocang looked for him everywhere but couldn't find any trace of him.
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye. If my junior brother were still alive, he would be over 70 years old.
Therefore, Duan Haocang was very sad. He told Zhou Bin to keep an eye out for him and if he met his junior brother, he must bring him to see him.
However, since the last time my master parted with me, I don’t know where he went. Even if I want to find him, I don’t know where to find him.
Moreover, the master is already over 90 years old, very old, and he doesn’t know whether the master is still alive.
At that time, the master told him that his time was running out and that the master might have passed away.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin's heart was filled with guilt and sadness. He had not yet properly honored his master, and his master had already disappeared. He felt so sorry for his master!
Wang Hengfa, who was standing by, saw Zhou Bin was silent and asked, "Village Chief, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Bin came back to his senses suddenly. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he forgot there were two people in front of him.
So he asked carefully: "Uncle, how did your son get lost?"
Mr. Duan squinted his eyes and recalled the past. He said intermittently: "One day, I went to the field to weed, and he and his mother were at home. But when I came back, they were gone. I hurried to look for them, and someone told me that a few people took my child away. The child's mother was so anxious that she cried and chased after them..."
As he spoke, Mr. Duan shed tears and sighed continuously.
Zhou Bin and Wang Hengfa at the side also felt uncomfortable. Wang Hengfa asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, they never showed up again. I looked everywhere for them, but I couldn't find them." Mr. Duan said as he lowered his head.
Zhou Bin was filled with sorrow and he didn't know what to say to comfort the poor old man.
Now I have no clue and can only search slowly.
But when Zhou Bin asked him how old his son was and what his characteristics were, Mr. Duan couldn't explain clearly.
There was nothing Zhou Bin could do, so he could only comfort him, and then he and Wang Hengfa sent him to the hotel to rest.
When Zhou Bin returned home, he still couldn't calm down for a long time.
This poor old man has been looking for his son and wife all his life, but he has no idea where his son and wife are.
