Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Normally, Erwa would immediately find a place to hide when he saw his father.

However, this time, Erwa not only didn't hide, but stood up from the ground, standing straight and waiting for his father to arrive.

"Good, you little brat, you really ran here again. Quick, come with me to the old master to study, or I'll skin you alive!" Erwa's father saw him at a glance, then grabbed his arm and tried to drag him away.

But at this moment, Erwa fiercely shook his arm and broke free from his father's hand.

"You little brat, you want to rebel? Do you believe I'll beat you!"

Seeing this scene, Erwa's father seemed even angrier, raising his hand to slap Erwa's face.

However, Erwa still didn't dodge, standing straight like an iron rod, raising his face, as if waiting for his father's hand to fall, his expression unusually firm.

Seeing Erwa's stubborn appearance, Erwa's father was stunned for a moment, and finally slowly retracted his raised hand.

"You… what are you trying to do!"

Erwa's father was an honest farmer. Frustrated, he squatted on the ground, constantly rubbing his hair with both hands.

"Dad, I'm not going to school anymore. I want to learn blacksmithing from Uncle Chen. I want to earn money, a lot and lots of money, to cure Mom!" Erwa still raised his head, and said firmly.

"Alas, you say, you're just a child, what money can you earn? Be good, listen to me, study hard, only by learning to read and write, you won't have to farm like Dad for the rest of your life!"

Erwa's father only had one son, Erwa, so he placed all his hopes on him, wanting him to learn to read and write, so that he could do a decent job when he grew up.

"Dad, I've already learned a lot of characters. I have no problem with ordinary reading and writing. Now, the most important thing is to earn money for Mom to go to the town for treatment!" Erwa walked up to his father and said firmly.

Erwa's father knew that Erwa meant well, but looking at his young face and thin body, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Look at you, your body is as thin as firewood. Blacksmithing requires strength, do you have it?"

"Why don't I have it? If you don't believe me, watch me, I'll do it for you."

As if in a fit of pique, Erwa came to Chen Tian, grabbed the heavy hammer with both hands, and used all his strength to barely lift it up.

But after only a few strikes, Erwa's face was covered with sweat, looking extremely strenuous.

Looking at Erwa like this, Erwa's father couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and sighed, "Okay, Erwa, Dad knows your intentions, but you are still young and can't do these heavy tasks. Listen to me, go to school obediently, that's what your Mom wants too."

"Mom?"

Erwa, who was still struggling to persevere, finally lost his strength after hearing these two words, and collapsed weakly, and the heavy hammer also fell to the ground with a 'clang'.

Erwa's father sighed helplessly, then turned to Chen Tian and said apologetically, "Brother Chen, my boy has caused you trouble, I'll take him away now, and won't hinder your work anymore."

Saying that, Erwa's father stepped forward, wanting to take Erwa away.

"Wait a moment!"

However, at this moment, Chen Tian suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Erwa.

"Hey, Brother Chen, what are you doing?" Seeing Chen Tian like this, Erwa's father was stunned.

Chen Tian's face was calm, and he said lightly: "I'll take Erwa. From today onwards, he will work here with me."

"What?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Erwa and his father were stunned at the same time, looking at Chen Tian in disbelief.

Chen Tian met their gazes and slowly said: "I ask you, your wife's illness needs to be treated in the town hundreds of miles away, and you will definitely go with her to take care of her. In this way, who will take care of Erwa?"

"This…" Erwa's father was stumped by Chen Tian's question and was speechless for a moment.

Chen Tian glanced at him lightly, his tone still unhurried and unhurried, and said: "It's decided like this, you just take your wife to the town to see a doctor, Erwa will stay and help me, as my apprentice. And the money earned by my shop every month will be used as Erwa's wages for your medical treatment."

"Brother Chen, this is absolutely impossible, you… you…" Erwa's father couldn't help but choked up. This honest farmer knew that Chen Tian was helping them in disguise.

"Okay, don't worry, just leave Erwa to me, because when I was young, a kind person took me in. Now, it's time for me to repay the favor!"

Chen Tian smiled slightly, then reached into his arms, took out a blue cloth bag, and handed it to Erwa's father, saying: "There are some loose silver here. When you get to the town, you have to spend money everywhere. Take it first for emergency use."

Seeing the money bag Chen Tian handed over, Erwa's father seemed a little at a loss. He didn't know whether it was better to take it or not.

"Dad, don't worry, I will learn skills from Uncle Chen. You must cure Mom!" At this time, Erwa also stood beside Chen Tian, ​​and said with a firm expression.

After hearing this, Erwa's father's old eyes suddenly shed turbid tears. He no longer declined, took the money bag from Chen Tian's hand, then took a deep look at Erwa, turned and left.

Erwa ran out a few steps, shouting from behind: "Dad, be sure! Be sure! Be sure to cure Mom!"

Erwa's young face was unknowingly covered with tears.

After Erwa's father's figure completely disappeared, Erwa turned his head and knelt down to Chen Tian: "Uncle Chen, you are our family's benefactor, Erwa will always remember your kindness."

Chen Tian had no expression on his face after hearing this. He picked up the heavy hammer on the ground, walked to the stove, and began to hammer the unfinished kitchen knife.

"Go, go to the mountain and chop a hundred catties of firewood for me."

Amidst the melodious sound of hammering, Chen Tian ordered lightly.

Erwa was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then stood up from the ground with a firm expression, took the carrying pole and the firewood knife, and without saying a word, rushed towards the back mountain.

Looking at Erwa's receding back, Chen Tian gradually stopped, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, murmuring: "Is all this the reincarnation of cause and effect, or the cycle of heaven?"

Just as Chen Tian was in a daze, the red thread hanging above his head became thicker!
