The Profound Sky Continent is incomparably vast, filled with countless kingdoms.Among them, there is a small country named Chu.

Yunmeng County City is a small county town in the Chu Kingdom, but the geographical location of Yunmeng County City is very unique.

It is surrounded by large forests and many towering peaks, among which there are many ferocious beasts. Pedestrians are timid, and only powerful warriors can enter and exit freely.

At this moment, it is dusk.

The twilight is dim, the setting sun is like blood, and the Yunmeng Forest outside the city is like a golden-rimmed sunset. At this time, it is perfectly round and radiant, piercing the eyes like a dream, so unreal.The last ray of the setting sun hit the ground and merged with the dim yellow ground, the golden light was shining brightly, swallowing the sky and fertile sun.

In the west of Yunmeng City, in front of a row of ordinary houses, a young man who looks about eleven or twelve years old holds a chisel in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand, staring intently at the stone sculpture in front of him, tapping his hands twice from time to time .

This young man looked a little thin, as if a gust of wind could easily blow him down.But the young man was fairly handsome, with a strange look in his eyes, and his energy was completely concentrated on the stone sculpture in front of him.

The boy's name is Qin Nan. His father, Qin Zhentian, is a stonemason in Yunmeng City. His craftsmanship was passed down from his ancestors. very poor.Fortunately, the head of the Song family, a large family in the city, liked stone carving very much, and he took a fancy to Qin Zhentian's craftsmanship. Since then, Qin Zhentian has become a stonemason of the Song family. Although the salary is not very high, it is barely enough for food and clothing.

"Finally finished!"

At this moment, Qin Nan put down the tools in his hand, stretched his waist, looked at the stone sculpture in front of him, nodded slightly, and showed a faint smile on his face.

Qin Nan carved a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man had a Chinese-character face with a kind smile on his face, looking into the distance.This pair of statues can be said to be lifelike, which shows that Qin Nan's craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary.

"Brother, you are really amazing. If I hadn't been watching you carving, I'm afraid I would have thought this stone sculpture was my father!"

At this time, behind Qin Nan, a young man who was a head shorter than Qin Nan scratched his head and said with a smile.

This boy is Qin Nan's younger brother, Qin Yun, who is two years younger than Qin Nan and ten years old this year.

The person Qin Nan carved was none other than his father, Qin Zhentian.

Qin Nan's mother passed away when giving birth to his younger brother Qin Yun, leaving only his father, Qin Zhentian, to raise Qin Nan and Qin Yun together.

Qin Nan looked back, touched Qin Yun's head, with a hint of doting in his eyes, and smiled: "Compared to my father, I am still far behind! By the way, brother, have you studied hard? "Chu Are you familiar with "Biography of the Kingdom?"

"Biography of Chu State" is the life history of the kings and generals of Chu State.

Qin Yun scratched his head, chuckled, and said, "I've memorized the "Biography of the Kingdom of Chu" by heart today!"

Hearing this, Qin Nan couldn't help showing joy on his face, and said with a smile, "Qin Yun is so smart. It took me a month to memorize the "Biography of the Kingdom of Chu", but you only took half a month to memorize it. You can definitely become a great scholar!"

When Qin Yun heard this, he humbly lowered his head.

But at this moment, there was a sound of crisp footsteps, and Qin Nan and Qin Yun looked forward, and saw an old man in his 60s, wearing a blue gown, supporting a pale man. The middle-aged man walked towards the two of them.

Seeing this, Qin Nan and Qin Yun's expression changed slightly, and they rushed forward. Qin Nan and Qin Yun quickly supported the middle-aged man, and asked anxiously, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

This middle-aged man is the father of the two, Qin Zhentian, and the old man next to him also lives not far away. He is Qin Zhentian's friend and works as a gardener in the Song family. His name is Zhou Fu.

Qin Zhentian smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, I just sprained my foot while moving stones today!"

Qin Nan couldn't help showing a hint of worry in his eyes when he heard the words, and thanked Zhou Fu: "Thank you Uncle Fu for sending my father back!"

Zhou Fu shook his head, sighed, and said, "It's all polite from the neighbors! But, Qin Nan, masonry is no better than a gardener. It is a manual job. Your father sprained his foot. I advise him to rest for a few days , but he just refused. You advise him, if possible, it is best to stay at home and rest for a while, otherwise his body will definitely not be able to bear it. "

Qin Zhentian shook his head when he heard the words: "How can this be done? This small injury is not a problem. I have to go tomorrow, otherwise the Song family will find an excuse to deduct my wages again!"

When Zhou Fu heard the words, he could only sigh and remained silent.

Qin Nan pondered for a moment when he heard the words, but he said, "Father, you should rest at home. I have grown up, and I can go out to work and earn money to support you and my brother!"

Zhou Fu heard the words, looked at Qin Nan and nodded secretly, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

"nonsense!"

Qin Zhentian stared at him, and said angrily: "Father is fine, you are too young, how can I let you go out to work?"

"Father, don't worry. I'm already 12 years old now. Didn't the youngest son of the Li family go out to work when he was 12 years old? Isn't he doing well!"

Qin Nan looked at Qin Zhentian with a firm gaze, and said.

"Father, I can also go out to work and earn money, so you can rest well!"

At this time, Qin Yun looked at Qin Zhentian and blinked.

"Good boy! Good boy! You are all father's good children. Father can have you two good children. This life is enough, but how can father have the heart to let you go out to suffer at such a young age?"

Qin Zhentian touched the heads of Qin Nan and Qin Yun, tears flashed in his eyes.

"Father, it's okay!"

Qin Nan shook his head, and Qin Nan and Qin Yun helped Qin Zhentian sit on the stone bench in front of the door. Qin Nan helped Qin Zhentian take off his shoes and socks, and saw that Qin Zhentian's right heel was extremely red and swollen. Nan couldn't help being startled, tears flashed in his eyes, and said: "Father, your foot is injured like this, how can you work like this? In any case, you must rest at home for a few days, and wait until your foot is healed. .I'll go out and find a job later, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Qin Zhentian sighed helplessly when he saw this, and said: "Most of the jobs in the city are full now, and the rest is either too hard and no one is willing to do it, or the pay is too low. You don't have to worry about father. Father can get a good night's sleep. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I will be alive and well again, so this little injury is nothing."

"Shocking, yesterday I saw the Ximen family posted an announcement to recruit guards, and the requirement is for teenagers between the ages of 12 and 16. The time is tomorrow morning. I think Qin Nan just meets the requirements, why don't let Qin Nan try it! "

At this time, Zhou Fu suddenly spoke.

"Is it the Ximen family, the largest family in our Yunmeng City?"

Qin Zhentian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and asked.

"Yes!"

Zhou Fu nodded, and said: "It's the Ximen family. If they are selected as bodyguards, they will receive two taels of silver every month. And there is a possibility of becoming a warrior. That's a matter of Guangzong Yaozu!"

"Two taels of silver?"

Qin Nan couldn't help being tempted when he heard that, two taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family to spend the first half of the year, and his father only had five taels of silver a year. If he could be selected, his father would no longer have to suffer so much.

"Father, let me go!"

Qin Nan immediately made up his mind, looked at Qin Zhentian with a firm look in his eyes and said.

At this moment, Qin Zhentian couldn't help hesitating.After being silent for a long time, Qin Zhentian finally nodded, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, and said: "The Ximen family is a big family, and it is said that it also has a pivotal position in the entire Chu country. This is not an opportunity! If it is so, you go try!"

Qin Nan nodded and looked towards the sunset in the west. Qin Nan's face was also dyed red by the sunset.

Tomorrow, everything is tomorrow!
