Mo Jiangnan met Li Shan in the antique market was in a remote storefront, when Li Shan was playing with a jade card, and when he was bargaining with the boss, he saw Mo Jiangnan passing by the door, so he asked him to go in and appreciate it together. But where can Mo Jiangnan understand this, he is not an antique expert, and he collects ancient swords just because he is interested in his craftsmanship.

So Li Shan gave up the piece of jade and chatted with Mo Jiangnan.

"Jiangnan, look at your face is not very good, you need to recuperate for a while."

Mo Jiangnan smiled bitterly, when colleagues and friends talked to him recently, they must have been tired of listening to it.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little busy at work, and I've taken a month off to recuperate."

Li Shan looked at Mo Jiangnan meaningfully and said, "Are you trapped by love?" ”

Mo Jiangnan smiled bitterly again: "You can see this." ”

"To be honest, I guessed it when I first met you that day, it seems that you are not as good as me in terms of feelings, do you want me to help you come up with ideas?" Li Shan said with a clear face.

"What can you come up with, even I don't know why." Mo Jiangnan said helplessly.

"Don't think about those incomprehensible things all day long, I see that your state is tortured like this, listen to me, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it first, take your time and sooner or later you will know, do something else to relieve it first." Li Shan said oldly.

"You have a point." Mo Jiangnan agreed, "But the work hasn't been going well recently." ”

"Then don't even think about it."

"But there are some things that are even more torturous if you don't think about them."

"Hey, you just haven't learned to see a little, the so-called world is like dust, life is like a dream."

"You say this like an old man, hehe."

"Haha......"

The two looked at each other and laughed, and at this moment, they forgot about everything.

After walking shoulder to shoulder for a while, Li Shan suddenly said again: "Jiangnan, you should also exercise your body, so be it, my family has ancestral qigong, I want to teach you to practice, it is absolutely effective for strengthening the body, this is not easy to pass on." ”

Mo Jiangnan shook his head and said, "Exercise? A few years ago, I was the main force of the school football team, you don't have to bother, I have been practicing qigong since I was a child, but unfortunately there is no progress, maybe I am too busy to persevere. ”

This is not nonsense, Mo Jiangnan's ancestors have a hammer to sweep the bandit cottage of strange people, the qigong method of strengthening the body is passed down from generation to generation, Mo Jiangnan has indeed practiced since he was a child, but he has not practiced it. Ordinary people have a sense of qi after practicing for a few months, but Mo Jiangnan has not felt the existence of qi until now, the reason is that he has never insisted on practicing, the pace of modern life is too fast, and he has to keep running from the moment he was born, so the things of the older generation sound a bit like a legend.

"It's about perseverance!" Li Shan, who learned about these situations, sighed greatly.

When parting, Li Shan said to Mo Jiangnan: "I still know a little about that Hong Gongzi, and I can guess a thing or two about the reason why your girlfriend broke up with you, but the matter in between is very important, and it sounds a bit unbelievable, ordinary people can't understand it, I can tell you if you want to know." ”

Mo Jiangnan hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "Now that it's happened, what can I do if I know it?" Forget it. ”

Satoyama sighed and said, "I don't want you to prove anything, but I always feel that the purpose of a person's existence, at least a man, is to fight for what he wants, even if he can't get it, what if he can't get it?" Anyway, his life is made up of these processes, and it is these things that people recall. ”

Mo Jiangnan had a good taste for this for a long time, and finally nodded to Li Shan with a casual smile.

……

When he returned home alone, Mo Jiangnan cleaned up his room as usual, ate and then admired his collection in his "Imperial Treasure Zhai", which was already a habit for him, and hobbies were a kind of enjoyment in a fundamental sense.

But today, his heart panicked inexplicably, and he suddenly felt at a loss, as if he should do something, and he was a little dazed. He didn't know why he was like this, he was very satisfied when he was with Xiao Yun before, and felt that it didn't matter if life passed like this, everything he got was what he deserved. But today his thoughts are different, he found that he still has a lot of things to do, and time, but quietly passing, and finally become as fast as a flood, people can't catch it if they want to, they can't catch it if they want to, they can't catch it up if they want to, the end of life comes with the flood, and people are so powerless.

Why is this happening? Could it be related to Li Shan's words today?

Mo Jiangnan was anxious for more than ten days, but he didn't do anything.

After that, he wrote his resignation report and handed it to the institute.

It is normal for researchers to resign these years, "science and technology are the primary productive forces", not only the state knows this, but also all large and small enterprises are deeply aware of this, so they attract all kinds of talents with high salaries. It is very tempting to poach people's salaries, so the leaders who approved Mo Jiangnan's resignation report all had a clear expression, and colleagues looked at Mo Jiangnan with some envy.

For these, Mo Jiangnan only sighed, and the ghost believed that he would have no job after resigning.

After resigning, Mo Jiangnan stayed at home for several days, and after sorting out his thoughts, he locked the door and went back to his old house in the countryside.

He didn't tell anyone, but he didn't really have many good friends, so it didn't matter if he said it or not.

……

Mo Jiangnan's hometown is very poor, it is not suitable for the development of agriculture, there are more stone mountains than arable land, and rats are bigger than calves, so everyone here who has some ideas is rushing to go out. His ancestral house is relatively remote, and it has become very desolate after no one has been there for many years.

How long has it been since I've been here? Mo Jiangnan doesn't remember anymore, but his father's face is still so clear.

"Child, don't forget your roots, the old Mo family are all skilled craftsmen." Father was always so proud.

Once inside, he began to clean the room, which was covered with a thick layer of dust that could not be inhabited. Cleaning the room is a huge project, so he didn't clean all of them, but cleaned a few of the rooms he used, and the other rooms just visited a few times with nostalgia.

Then Mo Jiangnan walked into the workshop, which was the holy place of the Mo family's blacksmiths for generations.

He brought a lot of things with him, one by one in the workshop, a lot of steel ingots and ore, as well as computers and small equipment of his own making, which he had collected and made for many years, and spent a lot of time to bring them here. When he came back this time, he just wanted to try to realize the dream of his family's ancestors for generations - to build a peerless sword, of course, he had to make comprehensive preparations.

The steel ingots and ores are the raw materials he carefully chooses, and he intends to start by smelting the raw materials and fundamentally improve the quality, which is his forte. There is also the computer and the equipment he made, which is an auxiliary device for his own improvement process, and he has compiled a set of software for his original process, and plans to use the computer to control the whole process.

From smelting to forging, and then quenching and grinding, he can use a computer to control the uniformity of the material texture, control the number of times it is forged, as well as the strength and temperature. Recently, he has been inspired by the nameless ancient sword, which has led to an unexpected breakthrough in the improvement of craftsmanship, and he believes that he can definitely represent the highest level of the family for generations.

How many years has the fire been extinguished, and how many years has the hammer not been used, looking around the entire deserted workshop, Mo Jiangnan seems to feel that the heat here was in full swing back then, and the sound of jingle bells is still surrounding.

All this will be rejuvenated again, and Mo Jiangnan is confident that this time it will be able to make the traditional craftsmanship shine.

The ringtone of the mobile phone woke up Mo Jiangnan who was in deep thought, he looked at the number, he didn't have any impression, and only after answering the question did he know that it was Li Shan calling. This is the first time they have spoken to Li Shan since they exchanged numbers at Hong Gongzi's banquet last time, and Mo Jiangnan told Li Shan about his resignation and departure, saying that he had returned to his hometown.

"What? Back to your hometown? Then you can't come back? ”

"I should go back, maybe a year from now."

"A year? Doesn't that mean you're going to take a whole year off? ”

"You'll know in a year."

Yes, one year, this is the time that Mo Jiangnan expected, maybe longer, whether the family's dream can be realized in his generation depends on this year. This is a section of the road that every heir of the Mo family must take, for the skills that have been passed down from generation to generation, and for the promise that perhaps no one knows anymore, Mo Jiangnan wants to complete this fate with the tradition of the Mo family.

After a few more greetings with Li Shan, he hung up the phone, Mo Jiangnan still has a lot of things to do.

The first thing to do is to get it back on before dark.
