"It's not."

"Your grandfather?" Su Xiaotong thought he meant to say that this was not his father, and he didn't look like his age, the old man looked energetic, but the wrinkles on his face were piled up, about sixty, Luo Li was only in his early twenties, how could it be his father.

"It's not." Speaking of the old man in the photo, Luo Li's words suddenly became less.

Seeing his cold expression, Su Xiaotong closed his mouth in amusement and quietly guarded him beside him.

Luo Li looked at the letter and froze into a log.

"Cousin, come to Yandu, are you used to staying, I heard others say, you are doing very well now, last time, the TV station invited Master to come to Yandu to participate in a cultural program, I went to look for you where you live, but unfortunately you are not there. I know that you are now the equipment designer of that game, your name is Nebula, right, the people from the game company asked Master to design a knife for them, and Master also specially made one, which is very beautiful......"

Han Luoxuan's characters are small and exquisite, making people can't imagine that this is written by a lewd fat man that Su Xiaotong has seen. A piece of letter paper was covered with juanxiu words in a staggered and orderly manner, and Luo Li was silent for a long time.

Seeing that he was engrossed, Su Xiaotong was curious, and leaned her head over to see what was written on the letter, but Luo Li still concentrated on reading the letter and did not stop her. There were a lot of things that Su Xiaotong couldn't understand in the letter, and she had no intention of interrupting Luo Li's contemplation, so she could only hold these questions in her heart.

Luo Li stuffed the photo back into the envelope along with the letter paper and put it on the table, "I'm sorry to let you make a special trip." “

"Do you need to meet with me?"

Luo Li's eyes only opened a small slit, which may be the cause of fatigue, his face looked like a mature man's vicissitudes, Su Xiaotong couldn't help but sigh, Luo Li is a strange person, sometimes naïve, sometimes old, sometimes frivolous, sometimes steady, so that it is difficult for him to summarize his character in three words.

"Are you alright, I don't think you're in good spirits?"

Su Xiaotong put aside the doubts in the letter and cared about Luo Li's body. has been in contact with Luo Li for more than a month, and whenever he mentions his family, he always deliberately diverts the topic, or simply breaks off the conversation, he is a teenager who is particularly sensitive to the word "home".

"I believe you have seen it, do you have a lot to ask me?" Luo Li took the initiative to mention the letter, which made Su Xiaotong surprised, she is a Chinese teacher, and there is a content called "image" in the study of words, and the word "home" is a rich image of connotation, especially for Luo Li, a person who keeps quiet about it.

"I didn't mean to peek into your privacy, I, ah. Belch. The words were so small that I didn't see anything. ”

"I don't blame you, what are you nervous about." The vicissitudes on Luo Li's face became more and more intense, which made him look seven or eight years older, like a guy approaching thirty.

He changed his words and said, "You guessed it right, the old man in the photo is my father." “

He never imagined that he would calmly say the word "father" on an ordinary morning.

"His name is Hanhe."

"Then the name on your ID card has been changed?" Su Xiaotong was cautious when asking, if this surname could make Luo Li disgusted to the extent of erasing, then there must be a past behind him that made him even more disgusted.

"Yes, I changed it before I ran away from home."

"It's so easy to go to the police station and change your name?"

"He erased me from the family tree first."

Su Xiaotong was stunned, she realized how complicated and grim the things hidden behind Luo Li were.

"You may not have heard the name Hanhe, he has another name, called Han Sanke."

This name sounds familiar, Su Xiaotong thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought that he had played a cultural variety show about the inheritance of traditional skills for the students, and there was a swordsmith in it who seemed to be surnamed Han.

"The Han family has always been a sword-casting family, and now in this world, swords are mostly ritual weapons, the huge Han family, to his father's generation, only he is left casting swords, he is a hero, many media, many celebrities praise him like this, they are right, he is a hero, but ......"

Speaking of this, Luo Li choked up, "But, but I'm not, I don't want to guard that blacksmith furnace for the rest of my life, and be trapped in that small village for the rest of my life." “

"But your father must let you inherit the family business?" Su Xiaotong probably guessed the follow-up story, "Don't you still have an older brother, isn't it Han Luoxuan?" ”

"That old stubborn didn't know which one had done evil in his previous life, and it was not until he was thirty-five years old that he had a son like me."

Hanhe is bent on passing on the craftsmanship of the Han family's sword-casting, today's sword-casting is actually just a popular name, in fact, most of the high-quality metal swords are forged now, the so-called thousands of tempers, the Hanjia sword is called the sword, and the range of weapons created is not only the sword, but also knives, swords, daggers, and even some special weapons Hanhe is involved.

Many ancient cultures were consciously or unconsciously divided into north and south, and sword forging was not excluded. The southern Jin family is cold in the north, the southern Jin family is good at chivalrous swords, and the northern Han family is good at imperial swords.

The Han family's sword is more than the appearance of emperors, and they are born with a kind of arrogance in the world, which makes the Han family regard the process of sword casting as the meaning of the family's survival. As a member of the family, Luo Li must and has to take on the mission of inheriting the family skills.

He didn't want to be this hero, compared to those mighty and solemn emperors and generals, how interesting it was to be a chivalrous man who wandered the world. As the name suggests, "escape" is what Luo Li has been doing in the first half of his life, escaping from the Han family, escaping from the so-called mission imposed on him by that paranoid father, is his dream.

"Since you don't want to inherit the family business, then take an apprentice, isn't it over, there are always people who are willing to learn the craft, right?"

Many traditional crafts are facing the dilemma of no one to inherit them, and accepting apprentices is a good way to pass on the craft. Su Xiaotong often mentions some folk traditional crafts in her lectures to students, and she still has some understanding of this aspect.

"Either he is a paranoid, he believes that the Han family's sword-forging skills can only be inherited by the Han family." I never understood what he was insisting on, even if he forced me to inherit his craft, one day, I would still pass it on to outsiders, and it was not even impossible to make it public. ”

In Luo Li's thoughts, if it weren't for his father's belief that only he could inherit the craftsmanship of the Han family, he and his father would not have reached the point of swearing not to see each other.

But what's the use of paranoia, in the end, Hanhe was still defeated by his stubborn son.

"And what's the situation with that cousin of yours?"
