Chapter 36: The Wild Wolf

As the executor of cause and effect, Griffith is certainly not Aladdin's magic lamp, and any wish of anyone can be granted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn fact, Griffith was only able to grant the wishes of certain people who were eligible to touch the thread of the law of cause and effect hanging high in the sky, and to intercept cause and effect in it.

This, of course, greatly limits the speed at which Griffith can gather cause and effect, but some things are like growth, the wheat is planted, the wheat is grown, and the harvest is harvested.

However, Griffith, as a demon who was once brilliant to the extreme, is not unthinkable for the above situation. In order to speed up the collection of cause and effect groups, he has recently been working on a good idea. If this idea is realized, there will be a stable source of cause and effect.

……

……

The sun is going down, and the eldest lady of the Ji family has not come back to cook.

Griffith sat listlessly at the counter with a somewhat shriveled stomach, a tattered flower pillow under his buttocks, and the left side of his face was completely on the counter, lifeless as a cartilaginous animal, and the whole person looked very low.

The town had been noisy for a while at noon, but now it was relatively quiet. Listening to the person who walked by the counter intermittently said that it was a dead person, one person said that the deceased had a bite off his neck, another person said that he had broken his thigh, and then someone corrected that he was attacked by a wild wolf in the back mountain.

There are wild wolves in the back mountain of Shazhen, because Shazhen is surrounded by mountains on three sides, in fact, the so-called back mountain is just an abstract concept, which represents an area that radiates far away outside the village and town.

In recent years, due to official hunting, dangerous animals such as wild wolves and wild boars in the mountains near villages and towns have become relatively rare compared with previous years.

In late autumn, when the vegetation withers, different groups of animals migrate, and the wolves in the mountains run out of food, and some of them wander into villages and towns, hurting people.

There are some such things every year, but the severity of the plot is different, so when someone is attacked by a wild wolf, although it quickly attracts people's attention, everyone is used to it, and it is only half a day, and the enthusiasm is cold.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Comrade Kira came belatedly, and he was smiling about the dead man's affairs, and sure enough, he turned around to see the excitement.

At half past eight in the evening, Jiqing came back from work, she only worked for half a day today, but due to temporary overtime, she came back more than two hours later than usual.

Griffith doesn't know how to cook, Kira is still talking about the dead man today, he sits opposite Griffith and dances with his hands, very excited, feeling like he will have 1 million dead people in the town.

At this time, Griffith was already starved to paramecium, and he arched on the counter alone, and the background color seemed to be grayish-white.

Jiqing liked his well-behaved brother very much, and when he saw Griffith's appearance, he squatted down with a smile, holding Griffith's little face and apologizing.

Dinner was a very simple porridge of wild vegetables, and Kira spent half an hour digging some wild vegetables in the back mountain in the afternoon, and then spent an hour and a half squatting on the side of the mountain to watch the dead.

The Ji family can't afford to eat anything too luxurious, so they are quite content to eat wild vegetables and flour. The garment factory where Jiqing works has working meals, which are better in quality than those eaten by the Ji family. I didn't want to eat it at noon, so I brought the rest of the steamed buns and vegetables.

Griffith himself has a broken bowl, a small guy who is black on the outside and red on the inside, and the bowl is missing a notch, and with Griffith's submissive little face, it looks funny and pitiful.

Dinner was quickly settled, and there was no entertainment for the children of poor families, and Griffith and his sister Jiqing squatted by the door washing the dishes and chopsticks with cold water, and then the stars in the sky illuminated the darkness in front of them, and the light of the oil lamps overflowed through the windows and wooden door frames, a quiet beige.

After that, Griffith goes to bed early, and his brother Kira may discuss some family matters with his sister Jiqing, and sometimes count the money and look forward to a better future.

Half an hour later, Jiqing and Yi went into Griffith's room and fell asleep, today, someone in Kira handed over some tasks to Kira Wanshiya, it is to process some small things, things are more urgent, come to get the goods tomorrow, Kira may be busy until late, so today he has to sleep alone.

At this time, Griffith was already asleep, he was the third child adopted by Ji Qingliang, the youngest, and his brain was a little lacking compared to his peers, but in general, because of his appearance and well-behaved personality, he was still quite likable.

When Ji Qing and Griffith slept together, the eldest lady of the Ji family would usually tell interesting things about the day, and the latter would listen quietly, occasionally nodding in agreement. But today, Griffith went to bed a little early, and the eldest lady of the Ji family was also physically and mentally exhausted, so she fell asleep.

Kira's room clanged for most of the night, and in the second half of the night, when the temperature dropped, he fell asleep in a daze.

Outside the window, the north wind howled, the frost and snow broke through the thin doors, and the animals of the forest slept, leaving only crickets and some insects chirping tirelessly.

Griffith opened his eyes suddenly, and there was silence all around, but there was a faint sound of people moving on the roof, and then the dead grass was waded away, and something jumped off the roof, and fell into the grass, rubbing against the ground, which sounded like the hard claws of some animal.

The girl's warm breath blew on his neck, and Griffith felt the fading breath before finally closing his eyes again.

When I woke up the next day, the heavens and the earth turned a vast white, and there were early risers shouting in the snow-clad world, and lovers holding hands running into the distance with early cheers.

The town in Shanbei will snow very early every year, and Shazhen has entered the late autumn, the season changes abruptly at this time, and the time will only get colder and colder in the future.

Griffith had already put on his winter jacket and was now crouching on the grass outside the house.

Last night, the thing had jumped off the roof and into the grass, and Griffith had heard the sound and pinned down his feet.

But the first snow in Sand had been drifting since the middle of the night, and many traces were buried in the snow, and Griffith crouched on the edge of the grass, and sure enough, there was only a white snow at his feet.

Griffith's right hand was covered in snow, and the palm of his hand was blurred on it, and the silver light on his index finger flashed, and then the white snow flakes seemed to be pulled open to reveal a pair of triangular footprints.

It was clearly not a human footprint, let alone a wolf, it had three fingers, and the toes were so thick that they looked like some kind of metal prosthetic. Griffith bent down and licked his tongue, countless thoughts swirling in his mouth, and the expression on his face changed until it was finally fixed in a certain sunny and cheerful degree.

He was thinking, this world is not so boring.

"Aman, what are you doing, come and wash your hands and eat."

My sister Jiqing's voice came from inside the room, and she was looking out of the window with a soup spoon in her hand.

"Here we are."

Griffith patted the snow off his hands and staggered to his feet, he was a ten-year-old chubby pile with very short limbs and a large head, and his round figure was even more prominent when he wore a cotton suit.

……

……

According to age, all the children of the Ji family should go to school, but the Ji family is poor and cannot afford to go to school, and Kira once took Griffith to the school secretly, and listened to the teacher's lessons outside the window for a long time.

Thanks to life, among his peers, Kira's arithmetic level is not bad. He is in business, and settling accounts and making plans are the most basic things.

There is a garbage pit on the side of the school, and every day after school, the students who stay on duty will collect the teacher's garbage and throw it into the garbage pit.

Kira would go to check on it every once in a while, so he collected some discarded workbooks, pencil heads, and a lot of small sections of chalk.

Griffith has recently become obsessed with drawing, and in his spare time when he stays at home waiting for clients to commission assignments, he draws a lot of things in his workbook with a small pencil tip.

However, what level can a ten-year-old child's graffiti be, and let people see clearly what they are drawing, it is considered an excellent work, and it can be praised by the teacher. Therefore, when Ji Qing took Griffith's work out to look at it, he could only vaguely recognize that the homework book was drawing an awkward house, and there was a boy in the house, which was a minimalist drawing with two circles to represent the head and stomach, and five lines to represent the limbs and neck, which should be Griffith himself.

The gate of the house was magnificent, with flowers and plants planted on both sides, but because of the unique drawing technique of a ten-year-old boy, the scenery in the picture was crooked.

Griffith's work is of course more than one, in fact he dismantled the interior of the entire house in great detail, including the tables, chairs, walls, and the interior layout of each room. Of course, his painting style is a little more abstract, but for a ten-year-old child, especially for a person like Griffith, whose head is not too bright since childhood, it is enough to surprise and praise the eldest lady of the Ji family.

The sand town after the first snow is particularly beautiful, Kira is wearing a dusty cotton suit, carrying a bunch of things on his back in the vast silver crooked away, he still has some tasks to do today, and the things he did last night have reached the delivery date.

The eldest lady of the Ji family rarely stayed at home after eating, and the clothing processing factory where she was located was mainly engaged in summer and autumn clothes, similar to skirts, half-length short sleeves, long shirts and other things, but the time paced into late autumn, the remote towns in the north of the mountains were getting colder and colder, and the efficiency of the processing plant was not good, so some people in the factory were on vacation.
