Chapter 21 The Time to Say Goodbye to Childhood

Time flies, the sun and the moon alternate, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The noisy noise in the town of Shamrock never seems to have stopped, and perhaps only in the dead of night will there be a sound. It's business as usual.

During this month's time, the four major families unexpectedly maintained the situation that the well water did not interfere with the river water. But at this time, Zhang Tianfeng, who was sitting in the garden and instructing Zhang Mochen to practice in the morning, frowned. The more flat the water, the more undercurrents may surge, and the darkness before dawn is the darkest hour. The tension and anxiety of the mountain rain and the wind full of buildings are entangled in Zhang Tianfeng's heart all the time.

"Whew......" Zhang Mochen took a deep breath and inserted the silver sword into the scabbard.

Seeing Zhang Mochen walking towards him, Zhang Tianfeng's expression changed and he smiled slightly. It's not that Zhang Tianfeng is deliberately pretentious, but he doesn't want his son to see his worried appearance. This may be a mountain-like father's love, even if the spine is bent, he has to desperately hold up a piece of the sky for his children.

But Zhang Mochen is not a gentleman, not only sensible, but also quite thoughtful. Zhang Tianfeng's words and deeds, every move, he can understand the former's thoughts. It's just that most of the time you see through it and don't say it.

"Dad!" Zhang Mochen walked up to Zhang Tianfeng and said with a respectful smile.

"Well, that's good! It's been a lot of progress in the past month!" Zhang Tianfeng nodded with satisfaction. Locked up all day long, and only when he watched his son practice swords every morning, the sorrow in his heart would be slightly resolved. Zhang Mochen is his only and all.

"It's going to be the awakening ceremony in a few days, are you ready?" Zhang Tianfeng looked at the sweat on Zhang Mochen's forehead that had not yet dried, and asked seriously.

"Don't worry, Dad, I won't disappoint you and your mother!" Zhang Mochen grinned, his smile very firm.

Zhang Tianfeng's hand that was helping Zhang Mochen wipe the sweat from his forehead suddenly stopped, but only in a millimeter.

"Well, Dad believes that your mother will bless you in heaven! Okay, go change your clothes, today is your last leisure day. Tomorrow begins with a retreat for meditation. ”

Zhang Mochen nodded slightly, gave Zhang Tianfeng a childish hug, and then turned to leave.

Before each awakening ceremony, the children who participate in the ritual retreat meditate for a few days, firstly to become proficient in breathing and breathing, and secondly, to try to sense the elemental power between heaven and earth. This is the final preparation and sprint before the ceremony.

Zhang Mochen quickly cleaned and changed into a white robe, and the sunlight shrouded him through the window, a pillar of light enveloped him. The immature and delicate face, the resolute and pure eyes, and the white clothes that shake in the wind, under the illumination of the golden sun, are transcendent and extraordinary.

Zhang Mochen also had a faint smile on his face at this time, because he had already made an appointment with Wang Yuyan and Zhang Moran to go shopping together. It was their last happy hour, and after today, half a foot out of their childhood.

......

The main road of Shamrock Town is as busy as ever, a piece of tightly connected heavy stone slabs are neatly paved, because of disrepair, some have cracked spider web-like cracks, and some are directly missing a corner, but this does not affect the traffic on the street at all, and the river is endless. Not only that, but it also contrasts with the somewhat blackened wooden houses on both sides, giving people a sense of longevity, simplicity and heaviness.

A horse-drawn carriage galloped past, its wheels pressing over the hollows of the stone path, turning the goods upside down slightly.

The carriage flashed, and three figures stood at a storefront. In the middle is a young man in white, like a white dragon in the sea, and on his left is a water-blue shadow, like a forest elf. On the right is a purple shadow, like a star in the night sky.

In addition to Zhang Mochen, Wang Yuyan, and Zhang Moran, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to find the names that match the three backs in Sanye Town.

Although Sanye Town is small, and there is only one main road, and there are only a handful of shops, but every time the three of them go shopping, they are all laughing and laughing, especially Wang Yuyan, who is cheering almost every time, if you see her listless one day, there is only one explanation, that is, she is not feeling well.

Because the shops on this main road are updated every day, so people can linger and never feel bored.

......

The street is not long, and the three of them talk and laugh, from beginning to end, but they don't know that they have risen three poles day by day. They glanced at each other tacitly, and then walked towards the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Zhang Mochen picked a window position on the second floor, and the boss of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion had already nodded his head on the side. Since the last time Zhang Mochen and Wang Yuyan brought Zhang Moran here for the first time, the three of them have often patronized the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Over time, the hotel owner lost the surprise of seeing Zhang Moran for the first time, and replaced it with the same flattery as always. And this flattery seems to be more courteous than the original treatment of Zhang Mochen and Wang Yuyan.

"Old rules!" Zhang Mochen waved his hand to the boss as he sat down.

"Young Master Mochen, the shop has just acquired a few pheasants today, although they are not demon beasts containing Yuan Li, but the meat is delicate, and they are all picked and killed to ensure that they are fresh and delicious. Do you see .......?" The boss's waist was half-bent from beginning to end, but at the same time as the eyebrows flew and the color danced to introduce, he may have been a little excited, and a few spit stars were thrown out casually.

Zhang Mochen deliberately leaned back, but his face did not show any displeasure. He understands that it is not easy to open a hotel, usher in a send-off, bow his head and bow his waist, all by accompanying his own dignity in exchange for a livelihood. What's more, it is not strange to reach out and not hit the smiling person, although sometimes this enthusiasm is indeed a little overwhelming.

"Okay, then I'll pick one up with you!" Zhang Mochen smiled slightly, then got up, and walked over under the guidance of the hotel owner who bent down and raised his hand.

Seeing Zhang Mochen leaving, Zhang Moran lowered his head and played with the cup in his hand, looking a little tired, he should be tired from shopping. Wang Yuyan still looked energetic, and her big smart eyes kept flickering.

Wang Yuyan moved her body, leaned on Zhang Moran's side and sat down, a pair of Qianqian jade hands gently snatched Zhang Moran's cup, and then grabbed another pair of jade hands.

"Sister Mo Ran, let me ask you a question, what do you think of your brother Mo Chen?" asked Wang Yuyan with a smile, but her eyes were fixed on Zhang Mo Ran's eyes.

"Brother Mochen is very good! he never treated me as a godsister. Zhang Moran replied sincerely, and a pair of swarthy eyes showed a hint of emotion at this moment.

"That's... Do you like him?" Wang Yuyan seemed to pull Zhang Moran's hand tighter.

"I like it, of course I like it!" Zhang Moran's answer did not hesitate, but after feeling the light tremor coming from the back of his hand, he hurriedly explained, "No, no, Sister Yuyan, don't get me wrong, I only have brother and sister affection for Brother Mochen, not only I like him, but everyone in the clan likes him very much." ”

Looking at Zhang Moran's somewhat anxious expression, Wang Yuyan sneered, "Silly girl, I know!"

......

After a while, Zhang Mochen came back, and when he saw the eyes of the two girls looking at him, his heart suddenly chuckled. Zhang Mochen sat down a little uncomfortably, and at this moment, a noise came from the table at the other end.
