He is rescued by a couple of humble small farmers who nurse him for a long time until he is well again.

Then he starts a long penitent life while waiting for his hour and chance. As time goes on he comes strong again but he only realize this after meeting Joaozinho Bem Bem, a famous chief of "jaguncos" who sees in him the violent man he was.
