Chapter 1: The Meeting of Fate
Located in the northeastern part of China, Mount Taibai is the source of all the nearby rivers and is visited by many tourists throughout the year.
Li Donghan has been a forest ranger in Taibai Mountain for 30 years, and at first he could only live on a few acres of crops and meager wages under the mountain.
In recent years, many people in the city want to go deep in the mountains to play and hunt. Taibai Mountain is different from the general tourist attractions, there are many protected animals in it, if you want to hunt, you can only hunt ordinary birds and animals, and you have to enter the bureau when you hit the protected animals. With 30 years of experience, Li Donghan led the way for these people, took them hunting, and these people often made generous shots and tipped him for having fun. In this way, it not only protects wild animals, completes work, but also subsidizes the family, and Li Donghan has made a lot of money with this in the past few years.
Today, a young boy found him and wanted Li Donghan to take him into the mountain, and it was 5,000 yuan as soon as he made a move. January and February are the time when there are the least people, and it is cold and cold in these months, and few people play, Li Donghan happily agreed.
"It snowed heavily a few days ago, so if you want to go into the mountains, you have to sit here. Li Donghan pulled out his ox cart and said to the guests, "The ox cart can go deeper, and the car is estimated to be stuck in the middle of the road." ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can get in. The man replied in an awkward Mandarin.
"What are you doing in the mountains? Most of the animals have been hibernating for the past few months, and they can't hit anything. Li Donghan said strangely.
The man smiled, his already handsome face even more dazzling, "I want to go into the mountains to find something to give to my girlfriend as a gift." ”
"Then you have a heart, come out to get gifts in such a cold weather. ”
While the two were talking, there was a scolding from next door.
"I told you to go out and get some firewood, and I only found such a little, what's the use of asking you?" said a loud slap.
"Smack"
"Oh, what a sin. Hearing the sound of flesh and skin colliding, Li Donghan sighed quietly.
"What is this?" the man wondered.
"Next door is a family surnamed Liu, the husband and wife originally had two children, and later gave birth to another, who knew that just in time for the famine, they threw away the newborn girl. Didn't want to be raised by the wolves in the mountains, a few years ago, a group of protection teams went to observe wild animals, found the girl, and brought it to the village, someone recognized the birthmark on the child's neck, and said that it was the child of the Liu family, the two originally did not admit it, and later people proved that it was indeed his family, and there was no way to recognize it. Li Donghan said, with sympathy and resentment in his eyes, "As a result, after the two brutes brought the girl home, they often beat and scolded her, instructed her to do some dirty work, and didn't treat the child as their own child at all, it's really ...... Alas. ”
After listening to Li Donghan's narration, the man glanced at the cooking smoke slowly rising from the chimney of Liu's house, and his eyes were obscure.

"I'll have to send you here, and you won't be able to get in any further. Half an hour after driving the ox cart into the mountain, Li Donghan said to the man in the car.
"Okay, that's all there is to it, sir, thank you very much. The man got out of the car and said to Li Donghan.
Li Donghan took out three stick-like objects from the bag on the cow's back and handed them to the man, and explained: "This thing is soaked in oil in front of it, and it can be used to drive away wolves with a little fire." Although you won't encounter wolves if you don't go to those desolate places, you should take them with you, and I need to pick you up when I come out?"
"Thanks, I'll call you when I come out?" the man asked, taking his things.
"Wait, I'm going to the ranger station on duty, you call the ranger station directly, and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up." ”
"Then I'm leaving. The man smiled and turned and walked back into the mountains.

"It's finally here. In a cave in the depths of Taibai Mountain, the man looked at the stone wall in front of him, his face showed a trace of excitement, and then took out the pre-prepared pickaxe from the backpack behind him and began to smash it against the stone wall.
An hour later, only to hear a "boom", the stone wall began to collapse, revealing the space inside.
The man was sweating profusely, sat on the ground and rested for a moment before getting up and entering it.
The wall is different from the outside world, it is very warm, the man didn't care about these, and walked straight to the stone platform in the center, the stone platform is about three meters high, with stairs on all sides, and there is a dark golden disc at the top, and there is a columnar crystal in the center, which is dark blue.
"Is this it......" the man muttered to himself, gently gripping the crystal pillar.
A wave of dizziness struck, followed by a pain that was more intense than half a year ago and invaded the man's head, and then he rolled down from the stone platform, and the crystal pillar was gone. The man held his head and curled up on the ground, letting out a muffled "uh-huh, uh-huh" grunt from his mouth, and two lines of blood slowly flowed from his tall nose.
After struggling on the ground for several minutes, the man could not hold on and fainted.
At the same time, a little girl dragged her scarred body out of the hell known as the writer. She endured the bitter cold and walked step by step towards the depths of Taibai Mountain, looking for those friends who could bring her warmth.
The girl, who had been abused by her biological parents, finally found a she-wolf who was foraging for food, thanks to her experience living with wolves.
"Great, I've finally found you......" the girl said with a smile, and as soon as she finished speaking, she fell to the ground. The girl's whole body was already blue and purple, with signs of beatings and frostbite. Seeing this, the she-wolf let out a long howl, and after a while, one wolf after another began to gather here.
The twenty or so wolves gathered were a whole pack, and they carried the girl on their backs and began to walk towards the nearest cave.
After arriving at the cave, the wolves were surprised to find that there was a burst of heat coming from the depths, and hurriedly carried the girl into the wall hole dug by the man not long ago.
"Woo!" The wolf at the front noticed something unusual, it saw a human-like creature lying in the open space not far in front of it, and it also emitted a faint blue light, so it ran to the wolf king standing in the middle of the wolf pack with the girl on his back, lowered his head and whimpered a few times. The wolf king looked at the strange human in front of him, and after several measurements, he put the girl as far away from the man as possible, and then the wolves began to cling close, and they all snuggled together.
After a few hours, the blue light on the man's body began to fluctuate violently, and after several flashes of light and flicker, it completely converged into the man's body, and then the man's body began to tremble, and a crisp sound like popping beans came from his joints.
After another hour, the man slowly opened his eyes.
"I can't believe that this is the case. Feeling the pain in his body begin to dissipate, the man propped himself up and muttered. Then he moved his gaze to the place where the wolves had gathered.
"......" looked at the bruised girl who was tightly surrounded by wolves, and the man walked forward.
"Purr......" The outermost wolves stood up and whispered a warning to the man when they saw the human coming this way.
The wolf king, who was close to the girl, also slowly stood up, staring at the man standing in front of the wolves.
"To be honest, I was blown away. Looking at the wolf king, who was in the middle of the pack and larger than the others, the man already knew that he was the leader.
"I never thought I would be able to see in a wolf a character that even most humans don't have. The man sighed and looked into the eyes of the wolf king and said, "She is very badly injured, I can't save her by this alone, I have to take her to heal, so that she can survive." After speaking, the man said no more, but looked at the wolf king silently.
The wolf king's eyes flashed with an indescribable light, and after a moment it let out a low howl, and the wolves took the initiative to separate a passage.
The man walked in, untied the down jacket on his body, and gently put the girl into his arms, the girl was very petite, shrunk into the arms of the 175 cm man like a large doll. The man pulled the down jacket and his body began to radiate heat, and the girl felt as if she was hugging a heater in a haze, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile.
"I'm gone, her injuries are worse than I thought and must be treated as soon as possible. The man looked down at the girl whose face was still red and swollen, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, and he probably guessed the girl's identity, "I will bring her back to you when she recovers." With that, the man ran out with the girl in his arms.
The wolf king chased out of the cave with the wolves, looked at the backs of the two gradually disappearing, and turned his head to leave.
After running a certain distance, the man took out the phone, and when he saw that there was a signal on it, he dialed the phone number of the forest ranger station left by Li Donghan. He originally told Li Donghan that he would not go too deep, but in fact, the cave just now was already in the relatively desolate and uninhabited area of Taibai Mountain.
"Hey, Uncle Li, I've come out, you can arrange someone to pick me up. ”
"I thought something had happened to you, I've been scared, it's okay, the person who picked you up arrived at the noon place half an hour ago to wait for you, and you can see him when you go over. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Li, I'll hang up first. ”
"Well, okay, you can get over there. ”
Looking at the girl in his arms, whose complexion was gradually improving, the man quickly ran to the place where he got out of the car.
