In the days following the blessing ceremony, Falling Moon Town continued as usual. The merchants continued to do business, the scholars continued to read, the workers continued to work, and the peasants continued to work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

If there is a newborn baby, a blessing ceremony is performed and his own name is given.

And Zhou Hao and his wife still love Xiao Zhounan, and cheerful laughter rings from time to time, accompanied by Xiao Zhounan's growth. Happy times always go by quickly. Time flies, and five years have passed.

Zhou Nan is five years old this year, and he has done a good job of reading and writing. Maybe ordinary days hone people, there is no thrilling, there is no intrigue, but it can make people become more stable and maintain a pure heart.

Zhou's blacksmith shop - this is opened by Zhou Hao.

Just take a look at the whole house, the dazzling array of casting utensils. As for Zhou Hao's burly and powerful figure, how he was trained, it is not difficult to guess the reason.

There are three steps in front of the blacksmith's shop. At this moment, Zhou Nanzheng was sitting on it with his hands and knees. His brows are tightly locked, his eyes are focused, and he looks a little old-fashioned. If it weren't for the fact that his young body betrayed him, no one would have thought that such an expression would happen to a five-year-old child.

After a while, just as Zhou Nan continued to be in a daze. A smiling middle-aged woman came out of the blacksmith's shop, and next to him, sat down on the steps. This person is Zhou Nan's mother, Zhou.

Touching Zhou Nan's head, the middle-aged woman smiled gently, and asked with concern, "Nan'er, what are you doing, thinking so distractedly? Look at you, our children are about to be worried about becoming little old men by you!"

"Mother, I didn't think about anything. Zhou Nan didn't look up and said softly.

Frowning, Zhou patted his son's shoulder, "You kid, what can't you tell your mother?"

"Mother, Grandpa Wang from Zhenxi passed away this morning. You say one day. Will I do the same, will my mother and father also leave me? Don't want me anymore, I'm so scared!" Zhou Nan shrunk his young body and said in fear.

The child's heart is always hidden, and under the care of his mother, he disarmed after a while.

Hearing this, Zhou was stunned, smiled bitterly, and then hugged Zhou Nan in his arms and patted him gently.

"You stupid child, birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws that all things in heaven and earth must follow. Maybe one day your father and mother will leave you, but you will continue to live with our blessings and hopes. And we, too, will turn into stars and watch you from above. As long as Nan'er can be happy, her father and mother are not afraid of anything. If there really is an existence that will not die, then there are only immortal immortals in the sky!"

After hearing this, Zhou Nan was first disappointed, and then ignited infinite hope. With a milky voice, word by word, he said loudly with a firm face: "Mother, I have decided, I want to become an immortal! I want to become an immortal as powerful as the moon god! I want to protect my father and mother, and I want to be with you all the time, never separated." ”

After listening to Zhou Nan's innocent words, Zhou was suddenly moved, there is a child like this, what more can a husband ask for? Besides, Nan'er is only five years old, so he knows how to care about people. Such a child, even with a lantern, is difficult to find!

But at the same time, there was a wry smile in Zhou's heart. Thinking of his past, Zhou said that he was unwilling to let his children fall into that ruthless and bloody whirlpool again.

What's more, Nan'er has an ordinary physique, let alone a legend like the moon god? This is just a beautiful fantasy after all. Moreover, even an immortal as powerful as the moon god could not escape the fate of being killed after all.

It's really sad, lamentable, powerless, helpless, and helpless!

But what Zhou didn't know was that the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. In the hearts of children, it is always easy to believe the words of adults. It may be just an unintentional word, but it will always take root in the child's heart, accompany him, go to the future, go through everything, and embark on that distant journey.

At this moment, in the depths of Zhou Nan's young heart. A seed that wants to become an immortal has been deeply planted. Just one day, break the ground and sprout. At that point, dreams cease to be dreams.

Maybe fate made people, maybe it sincerely moved the heavens, and the future Zhou Nan really embarked on the arduous journey of becoming an immortal. Even in the years that followed, no matter how difficult it was, he never gave up.

Maybe it's just for the initial touch of this moment, just to be with my father and mother for a long time. But the fetters of his later life tied him firmly to this road, and there was no way back.

Xu has a dream in his heart, Zhou Nan's life has returned to happiness, and his steady personality has also been thrown aside by him, naughty and mischievous, smart and kind. It's both loved and complained.

With the children of the town, catch fish in the river, dig birds' nests in the trees, fight crickets in the fields, and catch hares in the woods. Those who flew in the sky and walked on the ground almost caused them to be harmed.

It often makes chickens fly and dogs jump, and everyone is afraid. But Xiao Zhounan always grasped the scale very smartly and didn't go too far. At best, it was just naughty, and it didn't cause much damage, and it made people angry.

Otherwise, no matter how high the threshold of Blacksmith Zhou's shop is, it will not be stepped on by the complaint? If this is the case, then it is strange that Xiao Zhou Nan's ass is not swollen for our old Zhou? Even if Zhou Hao loves him very much and loves him very much.

"Daddy, I'm back. ”

No, as soon as the immature voice reached the house, the big yellow dog in the corner of the yard trembled. Originally, it was good that it didn't shake, but this shake was not a bad thing, just for Xiao Zhounan who entered the door, and he was caught right.

Thus, an absurd and ridiculous scene was born!

As soon as he saw Rhubarb like this, Xiao Zhou Nan's big eyes turned, and he immediately put away the smile on his face, put his hands behind his back, straightened up, and walked in front of Rhubarb like a dog.

The little hand covered his mouth, pretended to cough, and looked down condescendingly: "Ahem, rhubarb, don't you welcome me back?

Rhubarb shrugged his eyes and didn't even look at Zhou Nan. But isn't this a naked slap in the face of Zhou Nan? After all, our little Zhou Nan is also a well-known 'big man' in ten miles and eight towns, how can we let a dog be despised?

Poor rhubarb, because of his ignorance, is doomed to suffer again!

Seeing this, Zhou Nan smiled and said evilly: "Rhubarb, in view of your superior performance today, Young Master Ben will give you a reduced sentence, and the push-ups will be discounted by five percent, and you will have a good performance later." ”

But when Rhubarb heard this, the hairs all over his body stood up.

Zhou Nan squatted down, touched Rhubarb's head, and said indifferently: "Relax, relax, isn't it that this master can only calculate division, what's the big deal? Two hundred is a fifty percent discount, and it's only four hundred." There are no more than yesterday. You're so strong, you can do it, I'm very optimistic about you!"

After hearing this, Rhubarb's head shrugged lower, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days, and he couldn't lift his spirits a little. After all, there is no one else who can do such a ridiculous thing except Zhou Nan.

When you meet the eccentric Zhou Nan, even if it is a dog, you have to admit it!

At this time, Zhou came out of the room with food. Pretending to be angry, he glared at Xiao Zhounan, who was messing around, and scolded seriously: "Nan'er, why are you like this again." Wash your hands, eat, and your dad will have something to tell you in a moment. ”

The family finished eating with Helele. Zhou Hao wiped his mouth clean and threw the dishes and chopsticks to Zhou. looked at Zhou Nan and said lightly, "Nan'er, come to my room, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Although the Zhou family is not very wealthy, they do not have to worry about food and clothing, they live a very leisurely life, and they live very spaciously. There are three rows of rooms. Everyone can have a room and live as they want.

In addition to the hall in the front yard used to display items, on the left side of the middle courtyard is the room where Zhou Hao researched and cast. On the right is the foundry room. Further back is a twenty-meter-wide grove, which was Zhou Nan's childhood paradise.

Through the path, behind the woods are five or six wooden huts, which are used for daily living.

followed Zhou Hao all the way into the room where he studied casting. In the middle of the room stood a large desk filled with all kinds of ores. Around the room, there are four large cabinets, divided into many small compartments.

The cabinet is full of all kinds of casting things. The information cabinet is full of all kinds of books and materials. The medicine cabinet is full of all kinds of bottles and cans, which always exude a strong smell.

The collection cabinet is full of all kinds of devices, large and small. Next to the large table, there is only a small table with a small stool underneath. Other than that, there is nothing else.

On the table, there are pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and a thick pile of paper. In the open space around it, there are various large casting devices. The whole room was stuffed to the brim, and there was no space at all.

Zhou Hao walked over and sat on the stool, while Zhou Nan stood aside obediently, his small waist stretched straight and straight.

After a deep groan, Zhou Hao raised his head, glanced at Zhou Nan casually, and said slowly: "Nan'er, you are ten years old this year. It's also time to decide what to do in the future, and not to play anymore. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Nan's heart moved. He gritted his teeth, straightened his face, and said firmly, "Dad, you don't have to worry about it. I have already thought about it, I don't want to die, I want to cultivate, I want to become an immortal, I want to become a powerful immortal!"

As soon as the little guy's words fell, Zhou Hao straightened his face and scolded loudly: "Don't mess around, we are mortals, how can we cultivate? That's just a legend, it can't be true, you better do something practical." ”

A hint of gloom flashed on his face, Zhou Nan took a deep breath and quickly hid his emotions. Although he was only ten years old, he also understood some truths. He didn't want his father to be embarrassed, so he let go of the matter.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Nan shook his head and said calmly, "Dad, I want to learn casting from you and become a foundry master in the future, is it okay?"

Exhaled a breath, his stiff face relaxed, Zhou Hao thought about it, and nodded. In his heart, it is also a good choice for a son to inherit his father's business. Seeing his father's agreement, Zhou Nan jumped up happily.

At this point, Zhou Nan embarked on the journey of becoming a foundry.
