Chapter 1: The Failed Man
Lightning and thunder, storms and rains.
The overcast sky was low.
Thousands of miles of mountains, pines and cypresses.
The wind swept over the mountaintops and deep valleys, and the trees surged with the wind like waves on the sea.
The torrential rain smashed into the dense forest and rocks, making a roar like the galloping of thousands of horses, and the splashed water vapor was blown up by the strong wind, making it appear to be steaming.
The river roared and rushed downstream, and the water, which had not had time to join the river, rushed down the rugged mountain road.
A white van sped through the mountain trails, splashing water from its wheels to the sides.
The middle-aged man driving the car was Han Shengwei, who opened a quarry in a small ravine in this big mountain. He was in the sales department in the city, but half an hour ago he received a call saying that something strange had happened in the quarry.
The summer sky is like a doll's face, it changes when it is said, and the sun is already shining for ten miles, only the river is still roaring when it suddenly rises......
At the turn of the valley sidewalk, a light gray animal resembling a wolf squatted in the center of the sidewalk, looking lazy, with triangular eyes, a barrel mouth, a very wide mouth, long meat pendants on both sides of the mouth, and a faint pride in the indifferent eyes.
Anyone who loves mastiffs will think it is a very large wolf mastiff when they see it for the first time. The owner Han Shengwei named it Xiaoke, and it was very large, with a nose to the root of the tail of four feet six inches, and a shoulder height of two feet nine inches.
The book says, 'Mastiff, big dog.' Those with a four-foot body are mastiffs. If measured by appearance, Xiao Ke does look like a mastiff, and can be classified as a war mastiff series, there is a record of 'training mastiff with the army, and the strange soldier fights' in the ancient Tibetan scriptures.
The dog's front paws have five toes, the back paws have four toes (there are a few five-toes), the four paws of Xiao Ke have six toes, of which four toes are on the ground, and two toes are born three inches above the paws, one toe is forward and one toe is backward, like an eagle's claw, the ancient book records: there are dogs in the soil, you can practice, and it is called a coyote.
Xiao Ke is a coyote, a legendary ancient relic, a species that has long been extinct as determined by the scientific community, and now Xiao Ke is still in its infancy, and I don't know how big it will be when it reaches adulthood.
Han Shengwei had two wolf dogs before, a male and a female, both of them were very smart, like police dogs, one day the female dog came back with Xiao Ke who hadn't opened her eyes yet, and after a few days, the two wolf dogs disappeared, Han Shengwei looked for a while and didn't hear anything, he always felt that this thing was a bit strange.
Xiaoke is different from ordinary dogs, its various functions are much higher than canines, especially its speed, when running with all its strength, it is like a gray shadow crossing the ground.
Xiao Ke's senses are particularly sensitive, and his sense of smell and hearing can reach almost 100 miles away. It was here that it was waiting for its owner at this time.
The quarry's cook's name was Gu Zi, a poor man, deaf and mute, who was disfigured by a fire when she was a child, so she always liked to cover the burned half of her face with her long hair...... If you only look at her side, she is really a beauty, and her dark eyes are shining like jewels.
As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows of the soul, millet is kind and gentle, good-tempered and patient, and she is also extremely intelligent, she cooks good dishes, and often makes ordinary and easy-to-see ingredients delicious, and everyone in the quarry likes her.
Just two hours ago, wisps of colorful glow floated out of the quarry blasting area for no reason, gathering about a meter on the ground, slowly rotating, constantly changing the size and color, and the millet happened to pick vegetables in the nearby small vegetable garden, attracted by the fantastic scene, and stepped into it.
After about three minutes, the unprovoked glow dissipated, and the millet mysteriously disappeared......
Han Shengwei's main purpose here is to find Guzi, his own workers mysteriously disappeared in his own venue, especially a girl, how can he see people when it is spread out?
He must find her!
Everyone heard Han Shengwei say that he was going to find Guzi, and they were willing to accompany him, and finally decided that the sixth brother and Hongbin would accompany Han Shengwei, and the three of them would take care of each other.
When the three of them and a coyote walked to the edge of the area where the mysterious glow appeared, Xiao Ke resolutely stopped the sixth brother and Hongbin, as if he could only go further as if its owner was qualified, no matter how coaxing it worked.
Although neither of them was worried that Han Shengwei would go alone, they didn't dare to come hard, after all, Xiaoke's volume was too big, and no one dared to provoke it head-on.
The sixth brother knows Han Shengwei, and it can be said that he is the person who understands Han Shengwei best.
The two of them were classmates from elementary school to junior high school, and in the memory of the sixth brother, Han Shengwei had never succeeded in a single thing except for studying very well.
Han Shengwei is a rural person, he entered the society at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and now he is forty-five years old, and he has worked hard for 30 years, and he has really achieved nothing.
The phrase 'failure is the mother of success' does not apply to him because he has never succeeded, and 'fall down and get up again' can be his label, but it does not fully describe him.
Because he repeats endlessly: he fell, he got up, he fell again, he got up again......
This is the reason why the sixth brother understands and admires Han Shengwei, although his life is extremely unsuccessful, it seems that this person will never be defeated.
