The time of the school year passed quickly, and it was time for the holidays.

After Tang San said goodbye to the master, he learned that Ye Chen had left Notting City, although he was a little disappointed, but then he was full of excitement and walked towards the Holy Soul Village with Xiao Wu.

"How far is it?" Xiao Wu looked east and west, and asked casually.

"It's almost there. See the mountain over there? Our Holy Soul Village is at the foot of the mountain. "It's about to get home, Tang San's mood can't help but be a little excited, if it weren't for the Notting Academy's regulations that he must return to the academy to live at night, and there are teachers checking the room every day, maybe Tang San would have gone home to see his father a long time ago. I haven't seen you for a year, Dad, are you okay?

Perhaps because he was an orphan in his previous life, in this life, Tang San cherished this family affection very much.

He touched the Twenty-Four Bridge on his waist on a moonlit night, where there was the casting hammer he had brought to his father, brand new clothes, and even a few nice bottles of good wine.

The small mountain village that he had lived in for six years was already in sight, and for some reason, an inexplicable emotion gradually emerged in Tang San's heart. If I had to describe it in one sentence, he would say that it feels good to be at home. Even if there is only himself and his father in this family.

Soon, the two of them had already walked into the Holy Soul Village, Tang San's home was at the head of the village, he raised his hand and pointed to the broken sign on the roof, Tang San smiled at Xiao Wu and said, "Look, that's my house." ”

Home was already in front of him, Tang San's mood unconsciously became excited, the pace under his feet quickened, and he took three steps and two steps to the door of the house.

The door was not closed as it was when he left, this had always been Tang Hao's habit, after all, there was nothing to steal from his blacksmith shop.

"Dad, I'm back." Tang San shouted excitedly.

Xiao Wu had never seen Tang San in such an emotion, standing behind him and looking at him with some curiosity, in her impression, Tang San was a very gentle friend, usually not much to talk to, but he always felt so busy, and there was always something to do. Only in the discussion with him can we see his serious side. And even if he loses to himself, he has never seen him angry or excited.

While shouting, Tang San walked quickly inside.

Nothing seemed to have changed, the blacksmith shop was still so messy, even more messy than before he left, the mess was put on the ground, the feeling of tatters brought him more affection.

"Oh, little three, it's you back." A gentle voice rang out. A man came out of the room.

Seeing him, Tang San couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Grandpa Jack, you are also here, where is my father?" ”

It was Jack, the village elder of the Holy Soul Village, who came out of it, with a wry smile on his face, handed a piece of paper in his hand to Tang San, and said, "Take a look, this is left by your father." I came to him in the morning, originally wanting him to pick you up with me, but you have already returned. ”

A trace of nervousness appeared in Tang San's heart, and he hurriedly took the paper handed by Old Jack and looked down.

There are only a few simple lines on the paper, and the handwriting is a little sloppy, but it is difficult to hide the rough and arrogant atmosphere.

And the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment in exchange, Tang San didn't see his father but saw the letter

"Little Three:

By the time you read this letter, I was gone. Don't go to me, you can't find me.

Although you are still young, you have the ability to take care of yourself. The young eagle can only fly higher if it spreads its wings on its own.

Don't worry about me, your character has inherited a lot of your mother's delicacy. Dad is a useless person. You're getting older, and Daddy needs to get some things back that should have belonged to me. Someday, father and son will see each other again.

I want you to be strong, but I don't want you to be strong, your own path, you choose.

If one day you feel that the profession of soul master is not good, then go back to the Holy Soul Village and become a blacksmith like me.

Don't read it.

Tang Hao. ”

Looking at the paper in his hand, Tang San's whole person was already frozen, and his joy turned into helpless loss in an instant.

Daddy is gone, Daddy, why are you leaving?

At this time, on the hill outside the Holy Soul Village, the two figures were Ye Chen and Tang Hao......

Looking at Tang San's helpless and lost appearance in the Xuanguang Mirror, Ye Chen turned his head to look at Tang Hao, who was expressionless, and said, "I really don't know, do you have no feelings sometimes?" ”

Tang Hao smiled bitterly, and Ye Chen continued: "Really don't go and tell someone to leave?" ”

Tang Hao's eyes wandered and looked at Tang San in the Xuanguang Mirror and said, "No, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help but stay when the time comes!" ”

Ye Chen pursed his lips and didn't say anything, it could be seen that Tang Hao really cared about Tang San!

With a wave of the Xuanguang Mirror in his hand, Tang Hao took up his hood and slowly walked into the distance. Ye Chen watched him go down the mountain, and at this time, Tang Hao suddenly paused and did not turn around and said, "Ye Chen...... Take good care of the mistress for me! ”

Ye Chen said: "Don't worry! No one can hurt Xiao San in front of me, and don't forget that he is also my Ye Chen's disciple! ”

Tang Hao nodded and walked down the mountain, while Ye Chen stood in place, motionless, he also remembered her! I don't know what happened to her!

The sun was setting in the west, and in front of the blacksmith's shop, two petite figures sat side by side, dressed in the same clothes, sitting quietly.

The afterglow of the sun fell on them with a faint red, as if imprinting a ring of golden red on their bodies.

The girl on the left turned her head to look at the boy, her hands on her chin, trying to say something, but she held back.

It was the boy who spoke, holding a brand-new casting hammer in his hand, "Xiao Wu, thank you." ”

"Thank me for what?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"Thank you for always being with me." Tang San lowered his head and looked at the ground under his feet, his eyes were a little blurry and a little hazy, but after all, he didn't let the tears fall.

Xiao Wu chuckled and pushed Tang San's shoulder, almost pushing Tang San down, "Don't be depressed." Your dad is just leaving for a while. Someday, you'll meet again. Perhaps, his departure is just to make you grow better and make you stronger. If you continue like this, won't you fail his hard work? ”

Tang San had a wry smile on his face, "Perhaps, but why didn't he let me see each other again." Xiao Wu, do you know, Dad is my only relative. Without a father at home, it is no longer a home. ”

Xiao Wu shook her head and threw her long scorpion braid in front of her, "Without Dad, you still have a friend like me." If you have to find a relative, I don't mind being your sister. Quick, call Sister Xiaowu to listen. Everyone calls it that, except for you. ”

Looking at Xiao Wu's delicate appearance and the red fluttering little face illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, Tang San couldn't help but smile, when a person's heart is the most vulnerable, it is always an extremely beautiful thing to have someone by his side.

"If you want to be my sister, I have no objection. If I remember correctly, we were the same year, but you seemed a few months younger than me. I was born in January, but you're in August, right? ”

"Don't think about it. I'm only a sister, not a sister. Xiao Wu raised her hand angrily and knocked it on Tang San's head.

Tang San's body flashed, and he had already jumped out, standing three meters in front of Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, follow me up the mountain, I'll show you something." ”

Tang San's expression was very serious, as if he had decided something.

Xiao Wu didn't frolic anymore, her little face showed a little well-behaved, and she nodded to him.

Tang San took the initiative to take Xiao Wu's tender little hand and ran towards the mountain bag outside the village. The shadows of the two grew on the ground in the light of the setting sun.

Tang San took Xiao Wu and ran all the way to the top of the mountain before stopping, and he couldn't help but gasp slightly as he urged Xuantian Gong with all his might.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Tang San faced the setting sun, his eyes were already covered with purple, "Xiao Wu, this is where I used to practice. I'm serious about asking you a question, and I hope you can answer me seriously. ”

Xiao Wu pursed her lips, "Do you know that you look a lot like those old men in the academy now." ”

Tang San slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Wu seriously, "Are you willing to be my sister?" I really hope to have one more loved one. ”

Xiao Wu was about to say something, but was stopped by Tang San, "Listen to me first." I don't have anything, you can see the situation in my family, I'm just a poor commoner. I can't give you riches, I can't give you power. You are also born with soul power, but you are different from me, and I can see that your life story should have a story. But I never asked, because I was afraid that the gap between our backgrounds would be too great for us to even be friends. However, I really wish I could have a sister like you, and although I cannot give you what the nobles have, I can give you my promises. I will always protect my sister and not let her be hurt in the slightest. ”

Looking at Tang San's tear-glittering eyes, Xiao Wu's eyes gradually turned red, "What if one day, there are many people who want to kill me, and those people you can't beat?" ”

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Tang San's face, "Then ask them to step over my corpse first." ”

Xiao Wu was silent, Tang San didn't speak again, the red of the sunset gradually faded, and at this time, the stars in the sky were already quietly emerging.

"Brother." Xiao Wu broke the peace between the two with a simple word.

The tears that had been holding back finally slipped down at this moment, Tang San trembled his hands and took Xiao Wu's hand, "Thank you, sister." ”

His father was gone, but he had a younger sister, Tang San looked up at the sky, and silently made a lifelong oath to the stars in the sky.

When night fell, the two children sat on the top of the mountain, feeling the gentle blowing of the mountain peaks, looking at the stars and moon in the sky, the tranquil atmosphere and fresh air all brought a sense of comfort.

Ye Chen looked at this scene and said in his heart: "Little San, the tragedy in the original book finally made you, but the beautiful things should always be kept, if someone destroys it, then I ...... Just let it disappear without a trace! ”
