Chapter 4: Childhood

My name is Li Tian, I am five years old this year, and I am the only son of the city lord of Shicheng. My father loved me very much and responded to my requests since I was a child, but I didn't have what I wanted. Because I am a sick man, I can't do without medicine, I have been weak and sick since I was a child, I have to drink medicine every ten days, and to this day I don't know how much medicine I have drunk, I only know that I can't do without medicine.

My scope of activity is only this city lord's mansion, and I want to go outside to play, but my father won't let me. The more he stopped me, the more I wanted to get out, but I had people with me everywhere I went, and I hated the feeling.

Today, I heard from my father that a gentleman was invited for me to teach me how to read and write. I don't like the feeling of being a human being, but I can't escape it.

"Tian'er, come and see Mr. "My father's voice rang in my ears, and he brought a middle-aged man, a very nasty guy, who seemed really annoying to me.

This guy actually told my father to let me get up before the sun rises every day, do my homework every day, and beat me up if I do something wrong. My father would never agree to him, and my father would have refused, but to my disappointment, my father agreed.

From that day on, I had to get up early every day, see this middle-aged man every day, and occasionally be slapped by him. I hated it, but I couldn't resist it.

This year, I am eight years old and my father is not at home. I heard people say that my father went to see my mother, and he would go out to accompany her at this time of year. What kind of mother I have never seen, and I miss her too.

When I asked my father, what about my mother? My father always told me that my mother was gone, to a distant place. At that time, he didn't understand anything, and naively asked his father when his mother would come back to see him. At this time, my father would be silent, and the whole person would sit there in a daze.

Now I understand that my mother will not come back to see me, and that she has left me.

My father took care of me all these years, and I was able to adjust to life without my mother. But the few times I sneaked out of the City Lord's Mansion to the outside, I heard people outside saying that I was an unknown person who killed my mother. On the day I was born, even God was angry, the clouds were thick, and the thunder roared.

I cried and went back to my father, who just hugged me, touched my head silently, and didn't say anything.

Today, I am 10 years old, and my father said that he would find me a master and let me go with him to practice. Practice, I've heard a lot of people talk about it over the years. It is said that cultivation can become stronger, omnipotent, and do things that many people can't do. I heard that my father was a strong man in the spiritual period, and his strength in the entire Stone City was the strongest, and no one was invincible.

Practicing is something I like, but my body is weak and my father won't allow me to practice. I have also secretly watched the guards in the palace practice, and I have also seen them easily lift large stones and walk around. I've stolen those big rocks, tried them, but they were too heavy to push.

At noon, unintentionality and forgetfulness came out of the city. Since that day of separation, I don't know where I went, and I haven't seen each other for two years. It's been two years since I saw the forgetfulness again.

He felt that his old friend had changed a little since he came back this time, but he couldn't say why, only that he had become more dissolute after he came back, and his behavior was more strange than before.

"Let's go, go meet my apprentice. Said frivolously, and walked away.

looked at the back of the forgetful departure, and shook his head helplessly. The two of them walked slowly down the street, and a road automatically parted in the middle of the crowded street. The two walked in the middle, but neither of them felt strange, as if it was meant to be like this.

After a while, the two of them came to the City Lord's Mansion. The guards at the gate had seen the two of them ten years ago, and they all knew that they were seniors, who had saved the life of the young city lord and were the distinguished guests of the city lord.

"Senior, we will inform the city lord immediately, you wait a while. "One of the leaders of the guards stepped forward to entertain the two.

"No need, we've been here, just go in by yourself. Forgetful waved his hand to stop the guards, and walked in with no intention, he has also figured it out over the years, he and Li Tian may really have a master-apprentice fate.

Li Lin got a report from the guards inside, found Li Tian, and dragged Li Tian to see Forget. "See Master?" Li Tian resisted a little.

In the lobby, Heartlessness and Forgetfulness were sitting on chairs waiting, Forgetfulness's fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, and the sound was a little chaotic. He may be a little nervous and don't know what to do. The sound of footsteps outside came, and he knew that they had arrived, and his future disciples had come.

When I looked up, there were two people walking outside the door, the ten-year-old child behind Li Lin. The body shape is a little thin due to congenital deficiencies, the little face looks a little scared because of nervousness, the small eyes are moving darkly, the little hands are tightly grasping Li Lin's hand, and the whole person is hiding behind Li Lin.

"Go, Tian'er go to apprenticeship and kowtow to your master. Li Lin motioned for Li Tian to kowtow to his teacher.

Li Tian looked forgetful, a little scared in his heart, on the way his father told him that this master is a master, a big strong man.

Slowly stepped forward and knelt down, "Master is on top, and I will be worshiped by the apprentice." Li Tian looked up at Forgetfulness, his body was a little tense, and his face was nervous.

Forgetfulness stood up, a smile appeared on his face, and his hand lifted Li Tian. "Okay, from today onwards, you will be my apprentice of the Forgotten Son. ”

Squinting his eyes, he looked at Wuxin, "As an uncle, aren't you going to give a meeting gift?"

Unintentionally looked at the forgetfulness, a little speechless, and pondered for a while. took out a ring in his hand and handed it to Li Tian, but before he noticed that the ring was in the hands of Forget, he looked at it for a while, and gave it to Li Tian. "It's okay, barely. ”

I can't take this scoundrel without intention, so I have to let him. Li Lin was speechless, a master is a master, he doesn't have a storage ring, his father has one, but it is only ten cubic meters of space, which is very low-level. At a glance, he knew that the ring was much more advanced than his father's, and a meeting gift was so valuable. However, the relationship between the two seniors should be excellent, and everyone is the same.

"Tian'er, we won't leave until the afternoon, you and your father have a good chat, pack up your things, and I don't know how long it will be before you come back. ”

Forgetfulness and unintentionality flashed out of the City Lord's Mansion and came to the street. "It's a long time, there's nothing to do, it's very boring, it's better to drink and have fun, and you don't want to say anything. ”

Seeing that he has no intention of returning to himself, he does not object. I forgot to find a restaurant, asked for a private room, and asked the boss to serve wine.

"You're still a little nervous. Unintentionally picked up the wine glass and said lightly.

"Oh, what is possible, who am I, I am a famous forgetful son. Forgot to take a sip of wine, borrowing wine to cover up his thoughts, "I also understand your thoughts, with our relationship, this disciple will receive the same for everyone, you just want me to serve a snack." ”

"Looks like you've found a way to get out of town this time. ”

"Well, I have a clue. Forget to put down the wine glass, look out, have no god in his eyes, don't say anything, drink quietly. Time passed slowly, and the sun moved in the sky, an hour, two hours......

Forget to retract his gaze, pour himself another glass of wine, and drink it all in one gulp. "Let's go, go to the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Wuxin put down the wine glass, took out the money and put it on the table, and the figure moved and disappeared.

In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Lin was explaining some things to Li Tian. Forgetfulness and unintentionality appeared out of thin air, which frightened Li Tianyi, and the child was still a little afraid of life, and he was very timid. Although I worshipped the master, I was still a little scared. He called softly, "Master." ”

The voice was as small as a mosquito's groan, and he gently stretched out his hand and touched Li Tian's head. "City Lord, it's almost time, I'm going to take Tian'er away. ”

Li Lin looked at Li Tian reluctantly, but still nodded. Forget to take Li Tian's hand, "City Lord, farewell, if you have something, you can contact me through the jade plate." ”

The figures of the two slowly disappeared, and a jade plaque appeared in the void, and Li Lin reached out to take it. turned his head to look at Wuxin, and found that Wuxin was gone, and Li Lin was left alone in the empty lobby sighing.
