Chapter 5: Twenty-two Blades

Condescendingly, Shen Houbai said to himself coldly without any emotional fluctuations: "I didn't expect that the first time I saw blood in the 'cicada wing' was not on the demon!"

After speaking, stepping over the young man in front of him, Shen Hou left without looking back.

With Shen Houbai's departure, the three people with broken arms trembled and supported each other and left.

Back at the shop, Shen Houbai put down the 'cicada wings' and sat down in front of the bellows again, pulling up the bellows as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until eight or nine o'clock in the evening that the blacksmith shop turned off.

Yard ...... after a moment

"The day before yesterday or yesterday?"

"Uh, I'm old, and my memory is a little bad!"

"I remember telling you you you need a bigger stage!"

Next to the wellhead, when the two fathers and sons were washing together, Shen Ge said to Shen Houbai.

Hearing this, Shen Houbai glanced at his father Shen Ge, and then said, "Do you really want me to find my grandfather?"

"You know, I'm not good at words, I'm afraid I can't get along with that kind of big family!"

Putting down the sweat towel in his hand, Shen Ge sat down and said after taking a sip of wine.

"Who wants you to deal with them?"

"Don't be so rigid, your father is just a blacksmith, he can make you a 'cicada wing', and only 'cicada wing' can give you, what kind of panacea...... It's really not as good as the Lin family!"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Shen Houbai had already heard what his father Shen Ge meant.

"You just want me to go to the Lin family to take advantage?"

"You're so bad!"

His face turned cold, and Shen Ge said with some displeasure: "Stinky boy, did you say that about your father?"

"Do you want to stay in this place where birds don't for the rest of your life?"

"This outside world is very exciting, and there are no beauties in this broken Wuling County, do you want to find an ugly girl at random?"

"Don't you want to conquer the proud daughters of the sky in the outside world?"

"And ...... Don't you want to see your mother?"

When Shen Ge said, 'I don't want to go see your mother', Shen Houbai's heart 'chuckled' for some reason.

"Isn't she dead?" said Shen Houbai, revealing a hint of doubt.

"Shhh

"You're sixteen, and you can tell you something!"

"Your mother is not dead, or you can say dead!"

"Back then, when I fought side by side with your mother on the demon battlefield, your mother was unfortunately injured by a big demon, and then she couldn't wake up, your grandfather and I thought that your mother was just too seriously injured, at most in a coma for a while, who would have thought that this coma was more than ten years!"

"It's not that I don't want to go back, I just don't dare to go back to see her!"

When he said this, Shen Ge's face showed a look of tiredness.

At that time, after taking care of his wife Lin Ying for more than a year, but there was no sign of her awakening, Shen Ge took Shen Houbai, who was only one year old, to wander around, in order to find a good medicine to treat Lin Ying, but as time passed, one year, two years, five years, ten years......

With nothing to gain, Shen Ge, who was physically and mentally exhausted, took his son Shen Houbai and settled in Wuling County.

"It's useless to be a father, I can't save your mother!"

"But Dad sees unlimited potential in you, maybe in the near future, you can become an existence at the top of the warrior pyramid, and maybe you can save your mother at that time!"

"It's Daddy who is selfish, if only he could...... Daddy hopes you can save your mother!"

For the first time, Shen Houbai saw the fragile side of his father Shen Ge.

Sitting at the mouth of the well, Shen Houbai picked up a tea bowl, then poured a little of the spirits in his father Shen Ge's wine pot, and then said, "I'll drink two cups with you!"

Not long after, when Shen Ge was drunk, Shen Houbai put on a coat for Shen Ge, and he ...... Then he came to the outside of the city with the 'cicada wings'.
