Chapter 1 The Umbrella Bearer Who Took His Father Away

Next Chapter

The year I was born was a snowy day, and there was a hefeather snow outside, almost a foot high.

With such a heavy snowstorm, it stands to reason that it should be closed. But outside the courtyard of our house, it was densely packed with people. They were dressed in white and holding a white paper umbrella, quietly surrounding the courtyard of my house.

That night, my father sat alone at the gate of the courtyard, smoking a dry cigarette until the next day when the men disappeared.

The next day, I was born.

As the news of my birth spread, many wealthy merchants and tycoons came to our village.

Because my father made a promise three years ago, that is, when I was born in the future, my father would make a treasure to celebrate my birthday.

Most importantly, this is my father's last work.

We have to start from the beginning.

Although our Liu family is not a famous family, it is also a family of craftsmen, who is taught by Luban, and has a certain status in the rivers and lakes.

As the saying goes, things are spiritual.

In the eyes of craftsmen, many things in this world are different, and they will produce spirituality after a certain age.

For example, jade from the deep mountains, or hundred-year-old wood.

As long as they are processed by special means, these things will have a wonderful effect, and these things are called treasures.

Noble Phantasms are different from ordinary items, and they can ward off evil spirits in feng shui.

For example, the white jade ring that turns evil into good fortune, the statue of the God of Wealth that attracts wealth and treasure, and so on.

It's just that these things are only made by craftsmen, and ordinary people can't make things with the same effect even if they get the materials.

My father's name is Liu Qingshan, is the fifteenth generation of the Liu family, our Liu family has been a craftsman since the ancestors, and my father's craftsmanship is even more speechless, and every piece of utensils made people compete for red eyes.

Although my father is very famous in the rivers and lakes, he never likes to cause trouble, and only a small part of the money he earns is kept, most of which is donated, and since he knew that his mother was pregnant with me, he took his mother to live in seclusion.

He never carved treasures lightly, and there were only eleven works in his lifetime.

And now I'm born.

Father's work of collecting the mountain naturally attracted many people.

The threshold of our house is about to be trampled to pieces.

Everyone wanted to get their father's last work.

"Aoyama don't say anything else, I'll pay two million to buy your last work. ”

"Qingshan, don't listen, what's so good about money, I have a piece of commercial land in Huaihai that can be given to your father. ”

"Qingshan, I can give you one of my time-honored shops in Yanjing. ”

Everyone was pleading with the father.

And the father finally chose the Pan family, which was a small family.

Pan Dahai, the head of the Pan family, was actually not very familiar with my father at that time, and if it was according to the relationship, his father's things would not have been his turn, and even he himself did not expect it.

Many people don't understand why their father gave this last item to the Pan family.

So they persuaded their father that since it was the last work, they should sell it to someone they knew well.

But my father was like an iron heart.

No matter how others persuade it, it's a word.

"I only sell this treasure to the Pan family. ”

For this reason, many people scolded their fathers, saying that their fathers were not authentic, and some people even wanted to blackmail their fathers and wanted to get treasures.

But he didn't care. It's about putting all the time and energy into me.

Unlike other children, I didn't like to make a fuss when I was born, I always liked to sleep.

Other people's children like to run around when they are two or three years old, but I don't like to be noisy at all, and I sleep for more than 16 hours almost every day.

And I don't pick a place to sleep, on the bed, on the chair, on the floor, and sometimes even when I eat, I plant it all in the bowl. What is even more exaggerated is that the posture is also to keep this posture motionless, for which my mother often probes my snort.

My mother was afraid that I was sick and wanted to take me to the hospital.

My father didn't think so, he said that it was the nature of a craftsman, and I was doing this to see a good thing, so that my mother should not worry.

Soon my father's words came true, and by the time I was six years old, I stopped sleeping, and I was always curious about natural things, and I always brought some strange things back when I went out to play.

Stones that look like people, crimson bamboo, half crumpled old bark, in short, are some uncommon things.

In some cases, two human bones were even picked up.

When my father saw me come back with these strange things, he was not angry but happy, and praised me for being smart and knowing what good things were.

After receiving my father's compliment, I naturally worked harder and picked up more things.

When I picked up the things I picked up, my father carefully taught me how to make all kinds of toys out of them.

It's no exaggeration to say that other people's children buy toys, and I make them myself, and sometimes children of the same age will take the initiative to ask me to make some toys, and I have naturally become the king of children.

And so the time passed slowly.

Inadvertently, I learned a lot of my father's crafts, and my father finally started teaching me the heirloom skills and how to make treasures in one afternoon.

My father gave me a book of All Things, saying that it was handed down from my ancestors, and it was the painstaking efforts of craftsmen for generations, and it was full of the production methods and materials of various treasures. And my father's requirement is to memorize it word for word, and if you want to do a good job of treasure, you must do a good job of basic skills.

During that time, I was reading books every day, and my father would also memorize the contents of the book from time to time according to the progress, and once he found that I had not memorized it, he locked me in the room and forbade me to go out, and he didn't let me out until the meeting, I don't know how I survived.

And when I learned that everything is decided.

My father taught me how to make a treasure.

Noble Phantasms are different from other items, you need to be sincere when making them, and it is best to find a clean place so that you will not be disturbed.

And every time you do it, you need to put three incense sticks on the east side to show respect for heaven and earth.

In short, a lot of troublesome rules.

I finally understood why it took so long for my father to make a treasure every time, a full half a year, because there were too many rules, and something made without one would become an ordinary thing.

At the age of eighteen, I finally made the first treasure, which was a stone dare statue carved from Taishan stone, which was used in the town, which was also the simplest treasure, because the material only needed Taishan stone, but even so, I still spent a lot of stone to make.

And ever since I made this first Noble Phantasm.

My father's health became very poor for some reason, coughing day and night, and his body was losing weight day by day, and he was full of white temples in less than half a month, and he was trembling when he walked.

My eyes were red, but I didn't know how to comfort my father, who was fine before.

My father didn't care at all, and comforted me and said that this was destiny and could not be changed.

Although I learned my father's trade, my father did not allow me to make treasures, and I asked him why, but he always said that it was not time yet.

Half a year has passed.

At the end of the year, there was another heavy snowfall, and almost the entire window was white.

And on this day, I was surprised to find that my bedridden father was actually standing by the window watching the snow.

When he saw me coming, he said to me.

"Wei'er, you go buy some painkillers for your father. ”

"Oh. ”

I don't understand why my father asked me to buy medicine, but I only bought two boxes yesterday and came back. But I never dared to disobey my father's words.

There is no pharmacy in our village, so if you want to buy medicine, you have to go to the town, and the car to the town has long been out of duty on this day, so you can only walk.

I braved the snow to go out the door, and when I came back.

I found a group of people walking towards me in the snowstorm, and I couldn't see their faces clearly in the snow, but each of them was dressed the same.

Dressed in a white robe and carrying a white paper umbrella, he was exactly the same as the group of people I was born in the courtyard of my house.

Only the last one was different, wearing a gray tunic, with a white umbrella.

They walked past me very quickly.

When the last man in a tunic walked up to me, he lifted the umbrella leaf, and it was my father, Li Qingshan.

"Father. I shouted. At the same time, there was a vague bad feeling in my heart.

The father nodded and didn't say much, just a simple word.

"You can make a treasure, but remember to hide it, and don't tell others your identity until you are strong enough. ”

Then he pressed down the umbrella blade again and followed the parachute rider forward.

"Father, where are you going!" Seeing this scene, I hurriedly chased after him.

I found that although my father and the others were walking slowly, I couldn't catch up.

In the end, I could only watch them disappear into the wind and snow.

Looking at the direction of my father's disappearance, my eyes were red, and a feeling came to my heart.

I may never see my father again!

Tears burst out of his eyes.
