Chapter 1: The Prosperous Age (10)

"That's also a rumor, the color of the little cub's coat has always been gray and abrupt!" Li Xu replied as he walked slowly.

"The evil obstacle born against the season, or alone, I'm afraid I can't raise it! Besides, the wolf is wild, you may not be able to control it in the future! ”

"I can raise it for as long as I can, and I am also on a whim. When you grow up in the future, you will be put into the mountains and left to fend for yourself! Li Xu was a little impatient, for the past few days, he could hear more than a dozen times a day about the little wolf that could not be raised, and the calluses on his ears were grinding high.

"It's better to give it to the fifth brother, I have minced meat in the kitchen, it's better than suffering with you. I'll give you ten dollars, and you say, how? Zhang Wuwa hit the horse and caught up a few steps, and asked with a smile.

Li Xu glanced at his cousin in surprise, shook his head, and continued on his way.

"Or, twenty, no more. A well-trained hound isn't worth that! Zhang Wuwa did not give up and continued to chase the bargain.

"Fifth brother, that little wolf is not worth a penny. But that's mine! Li Xu turned his head, and his eyebrows were raised into two thick inks.

"I'll tell you the truth, Xuqi! Liu Daguan relied on his big tiger dog and always bullied my dog. So I want to raise a wolf for revenge. That thing is born to drink blood and eat flesh, and with your family's background, it is impossible to feed it. It's better to transfer it to me, for the sake of relatives, I'll give you fifty dollars for emergency relief, it's better than you giving up your studies to go from a cheap job! Zhang Wuwa rode a horse to stop Li Xu's way and said eagerly.

"Fifth brother, a gentleman doesn't take the favor of others!" Li Xu's face darkened, and he said loudly, "Besides, it's a wolf, not a dog!" After that, push Zhang Wuwa away and walk away.

"Xuqi, Xuqi, let's discuss again, discuss again!" Zhang Wuwa rode in hot pursuit, and her anxious voice echoed in the streets.

"I repeat, it's not a dog!"

In the next few days, Li Xuju spent the next few days with his relatives, friends, and clansmen. When everyone heard that he was going to give up school and start business, some people regretted it, some people rejoiced, and more people kindly came to comfort him and let him obey his destiny. In the eyes full of the warmth and coldness of the world, the days pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, at the end of the month, Li Xu, whose heart knot had already been untied by the old master's few words, was not only reluctant, but also filled with joy and expectation for a little wandering in his heart. The little wolf cub, who was almost inseparable, seemed to understand the change in the owner's mentality better, and embellished himself at Li Xu's feet, constantly rolling around and begging for food and drink.

Although there was not enough meat to eat, after having a fixed feeding opportunity like a human, the little wolf cub still developed extremely quickly, and not long after opening its eyes, it refused to lie down in the wooden box arranged for Li Xu to rest, but stumbled and ran around at Li Xu's feet.

For such a freak born against the season, the neighbors and the elders of the clan were very displeased, and came to the door several times to ask Li Mao to dispose of the wolf cubs, so as not to cause trouble to the neighbors when they grow up. When he heard that the only son of the Li family had dropped out of school, he was immediately ready to engage in a cheap job, and he couldn't say hard words.

Shinong industry and commerce, among the arts, businessmen are at the bottom. If ordinary people's sons and nephews can get a bite to eat in the field, they will not bend over to become businessmen. Farmers can change their fate by studying hard or being appreciated by others, while those who engage in business will be marked as a businessman in this life, and will never have the opportunity to study and become an official.

Most people in the world envy their neighbors who are better off than themselves, and they wish that they would suffer. When he encounters a neighbor who is worse off than himself, he feels a little sympathetic. "Anyway, this thing is not destined to grow!" "Anyway, he'll take this obstacle with him when he leaves!" The neighbors made excuses for themselves and left Li Mao's house one after another.

"Not only do you have to grow up, but you have to be bigger than everyone else." Under the sunset, Li Xu said to his little wolf. The little wolf rolled on the ground and barked a few times to answer Li Xu's advice.

"Why don't I call you Ganluo!" Li Xu touched the short hair of the little wolf velvet and said with a smile. Suddenly, from a high-profile young talent, to a small businessman who is unwilling to deal with everyone, although he has been untied by Master Yang in time that day, but the huge gap in life still makes his temperament change unconsciously. In addition to the original frankness and generosity, there is a bit more cynicism.

Gan Luo is twelve years old and is a rare prodigy and lucky person in the eyes of the world. Since the little wolf cub is called a bad obstacle by everyone and is riddled with bad luck, Li Xu just gave him the luckiest name in the world. As for whether boring people are angry about this, Li Xu doesn't want to care, and he can't care about it.

"Ganluo, Ganluo!" A teenager ran and shouted in the sun.

"Woohoo, woo! "The wolf wolf spread its four hooves, and its silver-gray fur fluttered in the twilight.

The day of departure is approaching day by day, and the people of the Li family are gradually getting busy. The big blue and white mule that Li Xu usually rides when he goes to school can't run fast, and can only be used to carry goods, not people. Therefore, Li Mao specially sold himself back this time to fatten out the strongest of the three Turkic thin horses, equipped it with a new chewing saddle stool, and used it as a mount for his son.

Uncle Zhang Baosheng sent all the money he received from selling leather goods that day back to the Li family on the grounds of making up for his nephew. Li Zhang's was so pushy, Zhang Baosheng was only willing to accept thirty pieces of meat in the end as errand money for his wife, and the rest was forced into Li Zhang's hands, "The poor family is rich, no matter how bitter we are, but we won't be unable to open the pot." Xu Guan is out of the house, and the more money he has, the more courage he has! ”

"It's okay, when our family Xu Guan makes money, let him sell wine for you!" Li Zhang took the purse with the smell of sweat and said with a forced smile. As soon as you turn around, you immediately rub your eyes with the back of your hand.

"What are you doing, it's a good thing that he can go out and help the family. Can you still hold him under your arm and protect him for the rest of your life! Zhang Baosheng couldn't bear to see his sister sad, and whispered comfort. When he heard that his nephew had dropped out of school, he was also very disappointed, and he couldn't wait to come to the door to fight with Li Mao, which made him break this short-sighted idea. But the mother-in-law at home said: "No parent will harm their children, and my brother-in-law must have some long-term plan or something unavoidable!" So Zhang Baosheng had to force a happy face to congratulate, and by the way, to see if his brother-in-law had any urgent problems here that he couldn't turn around and needed his help.

"He writes well, and his words are thorough. When the old lady was alive, he once said that Xuzi was a ridge of artemisia on the ancestral grave of the Li family......." Li Zhang whispered, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands. has no choice but to ruin her son's future, and the mother can't be at ease no matter what. (Note 13)

"Alas! Everyone has their own life. It is bleak for a while, and who can see the short and long future! Xu Guan, this child was born with a blessed appearance, you can rest assured, he will definitely have a chance to come out in the future! Zhang Baosheng pretended to be full of confidence and explained mysteriously.

Li Zhang's stopped talking, and when his son was leaving, he was most afraid of saying the wrong thing to ruin his mouth. Knowing that his brother is comforting himself, he can only listen to the words of comfort as hope. Besides, the son is still young, who knows if there will be a better future waiting for him!

Thinking of this, my heart is a little wider. Scrape all the money collected from the family, dress it into a small string per 100 yuan, put it in the luggage roll, eat with dry food, and make a pile of thick shirts and jackets, afraid of people? Shang saw the evil intentions, and specially sewed a burlap bag on the outside of the bag containing copper coins, which was dirty, as if it was full of tatters.
