Hearing the voice, Tang San frowned slightly, stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and walked towards the store.
Although from memory, this father often beat and scolded him, but for him who had not felt much fatherly love in the previous two lives, the other party could cook for him after he was six years old, and let him have someone to call dad, which was already very satisfying.
After all, he was an orphan in the first life, and Tang Hao in the second life did not give him any fatherly love when he was a child. Even after he took the initiative to cook, even the task of cooking fell on his head.
As the capital, Tiandou City is very expensive, and being able to buy a store is already Tang Ba's limit, so their daily food and accommodation are all in the foundry room in the back half of the store.
It just so happens that Tiandou City is located in the north of the continent, and the temperature is relatively low most of the year. Sleeping in the foundry room can also be used to warm up with the temperature emitted by the forge.
As soon as he entered the casting room, Tang San saw a sloppy middle-aged man carrying two plates of food coming out of the kitchen. When he saw Tang San, his face darkened at a visible speed.
"You know you're back when you hear about dinner. You let me serve you all day long, even the dishes. You useless thing, do you still want me to feed you?!"
The man was naturally Tang San's father after his rebirth, Tang Ba.
Seeing Tang San lowering his head and not speaking, Tang Ba snorted coldly and raised his chin towards the place where wine bottles were piled up on the side.
"Go get me two bottles of wine."
"Okay, Dad."
After searching in a pile of empty wine bottles for a long time, Tang San's face gradually showed a touch of embarrassment, and he looked at Tang Ba and whispered.
"Dad, it seems that the wine has been finished."
Tang Ba couldn't help but tut in annoyance when he heard this. After searching his body and finding two silver soul coins, his expression became more and more unhappy.
The blacksmith shop's business was not very good. No one knew whether they could get work in the next few days. If they used the remaining money to buy wine, they would probably starve to death.
"Okay, come over and eat. Why didn't your mother take you away with her? I can't even drink wine..."
Tang Ba sat down on the seat without hesitation, picked up the bowl and started eating.
There were only two vegetarian dishes on the table. The one in front of Tang Ba had some meat scraps, which the other party used to go with the wine.
And what Tang San could eat was naturally the other pure vegetarian dish, but these were nothing to him. After all, he had survived the days when he could only drink white porridge in his previous life.
You know, the other party is his father!
In Tang San's view, father and son, no matter how wrong the father is, he is still the father after all. He once heard a saying in his first life, filial piety comes first.
Although he was an orphan at that time, he agreed with this saying because he longed to have a family.
Perhaps it was because of this mentality that moved the heaven, so that he had a father by his side every time he was reborn!
As for the mother mentioned by the other party just now, Tang San also had some impression. In his memory, the other party was a very beautiful woman. Although her appearance was not so stunning, she was very eye-catching among ordinary people.
As for how the two met, the original owner had heard from his mother when he was a child that after Tang Ba came to Tiandou City, he was arrogant and had been living in poverty for the first few years, but his luck was pretty good. Because he came from Haotian Sect, he occasionally received orders for hidden weapons from the Tang Sect, the first sect on the continent ten thousand years ago.
Although the Tang Sect declined, Tang Ba still made some money while lingering on, and his life gradually improved. At that time, his mother also saw his father Tang Ba's ability and married him. Two years later, Tang San was born.
But the good times did not last long. The decline of the Tang Sect continued. Not long after, there were no more orders for Tang Ba to make. Tang Ba, who lost his biggest source of income, also developed a habit of alcoholism due to the pressure of life during this period. He frequently quarreled with his mother, and finally it became more and more intense and turned into domestic violence.
At first, the mother still hoped that his father would get out of the predicament and return to his previous appearance, but what he waited for was disappointment again and again. Finally, when Tang San was four years old, she could no longer bear it and chose to abandon her husband and children and fly away.
From then on, Tang Ba's alcoholism became more serious. Not only did he curse the Tang Sect when he was drunk, but he also transferred all his anger for being abandoned by his mother to Tang San.
You should know that before this, Tang Ba named him Tang San, which was originally a vent for the grievances he suffered in the Haotian Sect. Now the two are superimposed, and the beatings and scoldings are naturally intensified.
Of course, this is nothing to Tang San now. After all, filial piety comes first. No matter how his father treats him, he is still his father.
It is a coincidence that although his mother is an ordinary person without soul power, her martial soul is blue silver grass, and his father's martial soul is Haotian Hammer.
Thinking of this, Tang San couldn't help but feel a sense of fate surge in his heart. In his excitement, he looked up at Tang Ba and spoke.
"Dad, I'm already six years old. When can I awaken my martial soul?"
Tang Ba frowned slightly and looked at him as if he was a fool. "Why awaken your martial soul? I can have as many drinks as I want with that money. I'm lucky enough to be able to give you food. Why do you want to spend my money to awaken your martial soul?"
Hearing this, Tang San was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "Isn't awakening your martial soul free?"
"Free?"
Tang Ba sneered, "Yes, it's free. If you join a noble as a servant or sign up for the army, you can awaken your martial soul for free. When you grow up, I can send you there."
"But I heard that the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago would help civilians awaken their martial souls for free."
Hearing this, Tang Ba couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Oh? It seems that you don't just know how to eat on weekdays? You even know about the Spirit Hall. Who told you that?"
But he didn't get too entangled. Before Tang San could speak, he spoke again, but his tone was a little sarcastic.
"The Spirit Hall will awaken the spirit for free, but where is the Spirit Hall now? It was destroyed ten thousand years ago."
Tang San's face was stiff for a moment. If he were a god, he would not care whether he could awaken the spirit for free. After all, there are rules in the God Realm, and gods cannot interfere with the lower planes at will.
As one of the three law enforcers in the God Realm, Tang San must set an example.
It is precisely because he has always been conscientious and never violated the rules that the two God Kings of Evil and Kindness have high hopes for him, and entrusted the God Realm to him before leaving.
However, today, the bitter fruit that he planted ten thousand years ago has been presented to him.
He had to taste it himself.
