The village was not affected by a torrential rain, and the neighbors, who were far away, did not notice that Viya had not returned overnight. As for the animals in the pasture, they still eat and sleep comfortably.

Looking at the big hole that the "old macho man" pulled out again in broad daylight, Wei Ya was still surprised, what was the motivation that drove this sheep to run into the forest regardless of a single thing?

There was no extra place to place the "old macho man" in the pasture, and Via was still hesitant to lock up this violent sheep with other sheep, when she saw Theo tie the old sheep's rope to the iron railing, open a black canvas satchel he was carrying, and take out tools such as hammers and planers from it.

Is he going to mend the sheep's nest?

Via thought so, and over there Theo had already put up the fallen plank.

First rescued her, then found her sheep, personally sent her and the sheep back to the village, and now he has to help her repair the sheep's nest.

Why does such a gentle and kind-hearted man have such a bad impression on everyone?

Via felt embarrassed, she didn't want to trouble and affect others, so she said to Theo, "You've helped me a lot, don't worry about this anymore." ”

"The sheep broke the hut, and it had something to do with me."

Via was stunned,

She didn't understand what he meant.

Theo stopped talking and concentrated on his work.

He skillfully smoothed the rough edges of the plank, right the size and size, turned to ask Via, "Do you have wood in your house?" Preferably a log,"

"Yes, you wait, I'll go find it."

She was afraid that Theo would wait for a long time, and she would turn around and leave.

Theo stopped her, "I'll go with you." ”

At the other end of the pasture there is a storage room for the winter wood for the livestock, and it is all logs, uncut, a whole trunk of a fir tree.

The thinnest of them was also thicker than Via's calf, not to mention the length of two or three meters, it turned out that Theo came with her because he knew she couldn't hold it.

Theo picked the wood and continued his work without delay.

Others were concentrating on things, and Wei Ya didn't dare to disturb him, standing aside and watching. She felt that Theo must have carpentry skills, and that the wood carvings in his living room and the furniture in his house should have been made by him.

It didn't take Theo much time to fix the "old macho" nest, and the cracks were covered with new planks, and if you didn't get closer, you couldn't tell that there was a big hole in it.

Aside from saying thank you incessantly, Via really didn't know how to express her gratitude. Theo's image in her mind has become quite tall, problem-solving, helpful, boring and boring, completely like a living Lei Feng in a foreign country. Where is he a weirdo, he is clearly an honest man, and he is definitely misunderstood because he is not good at words.

Theo took the "old macho" in, took off the rope around his neck, raised his gloved left hand, and touched its head again.

"When will your family come back?" Theo asked Via.

"Probably tomorrow morning."

"Then it doesn't matter."

Via was confused, "What doesn't matter?" ”

"They won't blame you for not taking good care of the animals."

Wei Ya was even more confused, whether Theo didn't communicate with people often because he had been in the deep mountains and forests for a long time, and he couldn't speak before or after.

Theo didn't stay at the ranch long, and as he left, the "old macho" walked to the fence and looked at his distant figure with tears in his eyes.

It took three days for Via to understand what Theo meant.

Three days later, the "old macho" died.

It died peacefully, without making noise or screaming, and if it weren't for the old sheep's motionlessness and unresponsiveness, it would have looked like it had fallen asleep.

John's family was mentally prepared and not sad, so John and Dick dug a pit in the back mountain and threw the old sheep's carcass into it and buried it.

John also praised Via by the way, saying that she took good care of her and allowed the "old macho" to live a little longer.

Viagra didn't know what her expression should be, she had mixed feelings in her heart, she didn't tell John about the "old macho man" running into the mountain.

Dick also said, "I am surprised that he lived until this day before he died, after all, he is over ten years old, and some time ago he went crazy, so he must have returned to the light." ”

That being said, Via just felt that something was wrong.

That afternoon, a rare guest came to the house, Mr. Philip, the head of the village, and John and Manina warmly entertained him, and the three of them chatted happily.

Via followed Dick back from grazing, and John asked them to accompany the guests. The two young men greeted Mr. Philip and sat down on the sofa.

Mr. Philip was the biggest leader of the village of Fürth Morgen, a serious civil servant, who ate the royal food, lived at the foot of the mountain, and his family did not have to farm, and he was about the same age as John, and he looked much more like John Sven in the wild style, and had a gentlemanly demeanor in his gestures. Mr. Philip is also another person in the village who can communicate with Via without barriers.

Mr. Philip had come here to pay a return visit to the adopted children of the Johns, and he asked Via many questions in the tone of an elder, such as, "What do you think of our village?" "Are you still used to life here?" "Any problem can be said at any time. ”

Via answered them one by one, always smiling.

Mr. Philip was more satisfied, and he told Sù Via that her student file had been transferred, and that he and John had also arranged for her the school, the town's public school, Roy School, from which Dick had graduated, and that the school would open at the end of August, and that Via had passed a grade, so she would be in the fourth grade of secondary school.

"Although your past teachers have written some unpleasant comments on your file, we have confidence in you that you will be able to get along well with your peers."

Mr. Philip originally wanted to encourage Via, but he didn't expect Via's curiosity to ask him,

"What did they write?"

"Well, you're a maverick."

Viata laughed, probably the most tactful expression of her freak.

When Mr. Philip was about to leave, Via offered to see him off.

The two walked slowly down the mountain road.

"Mr. Philip, do you know that ranger in our village?"

"Of course I know, it's the job I arranged for him, have you seen him?"

Via nodded, "He impressed me. ”

"So you sent me specifically to ask me about him?" Mr. Philip looked like he saw through her.

Via lowered her head in embarrassment.

Mr. Philip laughed at her, "What a curious child." ”

The two walked a little more quietly, and then Mr. Philip said,

"What do you want to ask me?"

"Some of the most basic things, names, ages and whatever," Viagra didn't dare to get too far into it.

"I can sue you for this."

From Mr. Philip's mouth, Via knew Theo's full name, his name was Theo Hull, he was only twenty-one years old this year, only two years older than Dick, and he was unexpectedly younger, and he had been a ranger in the village of Feltmorgen for three years.

Mr. Philippe said that Theo was an orphan, who lived in an orphanage in Lausanne until the age of twelve, so he could speak French fluently, and after the age of twelve, he was transferred to an orphanage in Lucerne, and at the age of eighteen, he, like Dick, did not continue his studies, and the government would take care of the orphans and arrange work.

Because Theo is proficient in many languages, it is an advantage, there are many jobs suitable for him, and they are all "iron rice bowls", such as train attendants, conductors in snow-capped mountain scenic spots, and tram drivers, any of these jobs can make him comfortable and comfortable in this life, without worrying about food and clothing.

However, he rejected them all.

The people in the government thought that he was above the top and did not know how to lift up, and after the verbal ridicule, they threw off their sleeves and left, and the orphanage kicked him out because he was an adult.

At that time, the ranger of the village of Fürt Morgen had just quit his job and was looking for another way abroad, and Mr. Philip posted an advertisement in the town for a ranger, and was seen by Theo, who had wandered here.

He was the first and only applicant.

At one time, Mr. Philip thought that the eighteen-year-old had come to tease him and to drive him away.

The boy had a straight back, old clothes, a black jacket, black jeans, a worn-out rucksack, and untrimmed black hair, some of which covered his eyes, and even though he was poor, he was clean from the bottom of his body without a trace of dust or stains.

The boy stood at Mr. Philip's desk, looked at him, and spoke softly,

"I don't know what else I can do other than this job."

Mr. Philip's heart was shocked, and he could not forget the tone of his youth, which was obviously the most youthful and beautiful age, but it was desolate and bitter as if he had reached a dead end.

Mr. Philip immediately decided to hire Theo, who had been in this difficult position for three years, and was very conscientious, even if the mountains were covered by heavy snow in winter, he would brave the snow to patrol the forest farm. But he never dealt with the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and exaggerated so much that he didn't say a word, and over time, everyone naturally said that he was a strange person, and only Mr. Philip occasionally went up the mountain to see him.

"I didn't expect him to persevere, I've lived half my life, I've never seen such a young man, pure in heart and few desires, to the point where he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, he's only twenty-one years old, not seventy-one," Philip shook his head, "He's a poor kid too." ”

After hearing this, Wei Ya felt very uncomfortable, and the lonely back resurfaced in her mind, "What did he encounter to become like this?" She muttered.

Mr. Philip looked at her, there was a hint of understanding in his eyes, and said with a smile, "You are a cheerful and lovely girl, you can try to get to know him and talk to him." ”

Will he welcome her?

Via couldn't be sure.

"I would like to remind you, however, that he was transferred from Lausanne to Lucerne because when he was twelve years old, he seriously injured a boy in an orphanage in Lausanne, and he was an orphan with whom he had grown up," said Monsieur Philippe, referring to the record in Theo's archives that would remain with Theo for the rest of his life.

Via shook her head repeatedly, "No, he's not like that. ”

"There can be no mistakes in black and white."

Unexpectedly, Wei Ya said firmly, "There must be a reason for it." ”

Mr. Philip looked at the girl in front of him,

He thought that maybe the child's life would be changed because of her arrival.
