"Dare!"
"Sure dare!"
"When the time comes, I'll definitely beat you flat!"
The father stopped his body, kicked his foot, and the straight-handled round-headed hammer spun with a hum on the ground, just barely stopping at the edge of his toes.
Little Erzhu looked down in confusion but didn't retreat a step, until his father ahead coldly smiled and said:
"If you're on the straight path and the hammerhead is me, one of us will die; I won't hold back. Do you dare to fight?"
A stunned look, then one of surprise.
Little Erzhu shot up his gaze in shock.
Cao Erzhu also raised his head in shock.
In his memory... he forgot if there was such a moment, even forgot how he responded back then.
Just when his younger self was supposed to provide answers.
"Dang—"
...
"Dad?"
Cao Erzhu jumped up from the bed, drenched in cold sweat.
The sound of forging from beyond the wall shattered his childhood, his heart pounding wildly.
"Another nightmare..."
"Lately, it's not good to sleep."
