Sitting opposite Chu Fan was a man over half a hundred years old, his body looked tough, but the wrinkles on his face were a little conspicuous, and his hair was a little gray.

Whenever the words in his mouth are finished, he will habitually pound the dry tobacco gun in his hand, swallow the smoke, and look quite enjoyable.

"You smoke less, the babies are all in the house, it's not good for the body. ”

Half a hundred women on the side, seeing that the man had not yet spoken a few words, smoked a dry cigarette with his head down, frowned, and complained.

After hearing this, the man waved his hand, indicating that this was the last mouthful, and then looked at the young man in front of him, his face was worried for a while, and he seemed to sigh.

Seeing this, the woman on the side knew what the man was worried about, and looked at the young man who was "focusing" on the side, and pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Second baby, you said that you are not too young, why are you absent-minded every time your father wants to tell you something serious? What are you doing with your head down all the time?"

"Didn't do it...... I'll listen, you go on......" Chu Fan, who was concentrating on grinding stones, after listening to his mother's words, thought that it was the same as usual, and he didn't care too much about it for a while, so he casually said perfunctory.

The man looked at the young man's appearance, and suddenly became a little angry, and threw the cigarette gun on the table.

I only heard the sound of "touching", and it suddenly resounded in the quiet room.

There was a sudden sound in his ears, Chu Fan's body couldn't help but tighten, and he quickly raised his head and looked at the man in front of him puzzled.

"Father, are you...... This is?"

"You come with me. The man on the side ignored Chu Fan's question, just left a sentence, and then stepped out of the house.

Looking at the man who disappeared at the door, Chu Fan was a little stunned.

In the past, my father would not have been so easy to get angry, could it be that something big is really going to happen in the family recently?

After carefully putting away the stones in his hand, he thought about asking his mother on the side, but before he could speak, his mother's words came to his ears again.

"Erwa, you remember, you have to think about what your father said this time, if you really don't want to go, you can talk to your father. ”

After Chu Fan heard this, he nodded instinctively, and the confusion in his heart gradually grew, but in the face of his helpless mother, his heart was tight, and he didn't speak again for a while.

Then he slowly got up and walked out of the house.

After a while, Chu Fan and his father sat opposite each other on the stone pier outside the house, looking at his silent father on the side, Chu Fan's heart was also constantly rippling.

It seems like it's been years since I've had such a solitary conversation with my father.

Just when Chu Fan was thinking alone, the man in front of him was no longer silent, and with a somewhat solemn expression, he took out a delicate wooden plaque from his arms and put it in front of Chu Fan.

The wooden plaque is black and looks the size of a palm, with a very conspicuous flame mark on one side and a large "Ling" written on the other.

"Father, what is this?" Chu Fan looked at the palm-sized token in front of him, and his face was puzzled.

"This is a forging fire order, it is an important token in the forging fire gate of Nanshui City, as for the forging fire gate, you must have heard of it a long time ago, and now it is one of the five major rivers and lakes in Nanshui City. The man said slowly.

Chu Fan looked at the palm-sized wooden sign in front of him, shocked in his heart, and already had a guess about the meaning of his father's words, but his expression still looked confused.

The man's eyes on the side were always on the young man, and after seeing that he not only did not have any surprise moves, but still looked puzzled, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he continued to speak.

"Erwa, you may not know that the preciousness of this Forging Fire Order is that it allows you to become a disciple of this Forging Fire Gate, you must know that once you become a disciple of this Jianghu Gate Sect, you will have the opportunity to come into contact with the martial arts of some sects, if you can learn one and a half moves, you will have a great possibility of becoming a martial artist. ”

When Chu Fan heard this, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously asked.

"Father, is this warrior a god who can fly eaves and walk on walls and break gold as rumored. ”

"Yes, although what you said is a bit exaggerated, it is not too far off, my father was fortunate enough to meet a man many years ago, and he killed a tiger with one punch, and the shock was unimaginable at that time, and this person also came from Nanshui City. Before the man met, the young man was a little interested, and nodded with a smile.

"This ......" Chu Fan was a little incredulous.

"You don't have to be surprised, there are many strong people in this world that we can't imagine, of course, becoming a martial artist is not easy, not only to suffer a lot, but also to have a certain qualification, not to mention the qualifications, as long as you are willing to make up your mind and endure more hardships, you may not be able to become a real martial artist, you must know that once you become a martial artist, you will be respected by others, and the benefits and treatment are unimaginable, by the way, I forgot to tell you, the origin of this forging order is also related to your second uncle, his name is Chu He, you must keep in mind. ”

“...... My second uncle?" Chu Fan was puzzled, but he didn't know that he had a second uncle in his memory.

"I forgot, you have never seen him, your second uncle left Qingyang Town decades ago, and you were not born at that time. The man paused, and explained.

"How is the second uncle now?"

"I don't know the specific situation of your second uncle now, since more than ten years ago, he returned to Qingyang Town once, he has never appeared in front of us, as for this time I can find him, it is also through a jade pendant token he left a few years ago, but even if I go to Nanshui City, I still haven't seen him in person, but I just received this forging order and a letter brought by him, the content of the letter does not mention more, but only explains the reason why I did not meet me, because I happen to have important tasks, it takes as little as a month, and as long as three months before I can return, and the second is the purpose of this forging order, so I said, this Forging Fire Gate recruiting disciples is not only an opportunity for you, but also an opportunity for our entire Chu family. ”

Chu Fan listened to what the man said, his face showed thought, but he quickly asked again.

"Father, that second uncle should also be a martial artist. ”

"That's natural, your second uncle is not only a martial artist, but also a master among martial artists, you must know that there is also a distinction between these martial artists, but these are too far away from us, and you don't need to think too much. ”

Chu Fan's face was confused, and he nodded lightly in response.

"I think back then, when your second uncle returned to Qingyang Town, how majestic it was, almost with his own strength, it made our entire Chu family undergo earth-shaking changes, and became one of the best families around Qingyang Town, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, he left, there was no news for decades, and now the Chu family has also declined, but fortunately, he still left a glimmer of hope back then, Erwa, if you can join this forging fire gate, connect your second uncle, and then become a martial artist, then our entire Chu family will definitely rise again and will no longer be affected by others......" The man had some feelings at this time, and seemed to be lamenting something, and for a while his heart was full of unspeakable words that he could not speak.

After listening to the man's words, Chu Fan's heart was shocked for a long time, but after calming down a little, he still decided to ask what he thought.

"Father, has something happened in the family recently?"

The man came back to his senses, listening to the question of the young man in front of him, his face was stunned, and he was a little surprised, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to ask like this, but after a little contemplation, he opened his mouth to return.

"Erwa, I know what you're worried about, but the family hasn't reached the point where you need to do anything, after all, my father, is not completely old. ”

"Father, I'm not ......" Chu Fan saw the man say this, and some guilt suddenly rose in his heart.

The man didn't care, waved his hand, and continued to speak.

"I know you already have your own plans in mind, but being able to join the Forging Fire Gate this time is an unavoidable thing, and besides, for the sake of your second uncle, I hope you can think about it carefully. ”

And after Chu Fan heard this, he gradually fell into a deep thought, the man knew that the young man needed time to accept all this in front of him at the moment, so he didn't talk again for a while.

After that, the two talked outside the house for an hour or two, and then they went back to the house one after another.
