In the early morning, there are not many people on the street, except for some people who are drunk at night, and there are people who come out early for breakfast. A ragged, unkempt ten-year-old boy walks aimlessly down the street. He was Wood, with deep blue eyes, always looking at everyone who passed by him.

"Hi, Wood." The owner of the bun shop next to him shouted at Wood and threw a hot steamed bun that had just come out of the oven at him.

"Thank you, boss." Wood took the bun and laughed happily, revealing a pair of shallow dimples on his thin little face. Wood eats the bun as he keeps searching the crowd for his target.

Soon, a middle-aged woman carrying a black suitcase came into Wood's sight, and Wood swallowed the bun in a few bites. As the middle-aged woman hurried past him, he saw a triumphant smile on Wood's face.

The middle-aged woman must have been in a hurry to catch the train, and she was unaware of what she had just been going through. The train station was nearby, and the middle-aged woman quickly rushed to the train station, and when she tried to take out her train ticket, she found that her wallet was missing.

"Oh my gosh, my wallet is gone." When the woman found that her purse was missing, she immediately went crazy and searched everywhere.

"Madam, is this your wallet Just now I saw you take something out, and it accidentally fell to the ground." Wood came over with a sincere face at this time, holding the purse that the lady was looking for.

"Oh, thank goodness, it didn't take it. Thank you so much, little friend, do you know what it means if I miss this train? The middle-aged woman wept with joy as she spoke, opening her purse, taking a coin and handing it to Wood.

"I don't know if I would have been able to find a ticket without you, and if I hadn't gotten on this train, the consequences would have been dire. Thank you very much, use this money to buy some food, and see how thin you have become. May God bless you, my child. The lady quickly slipped a note into Wood's pocket, and kissed Wood on the forehead with a swift motion. By the time Wood reacted, the lady was already on the train.

The lady sat by the window and saw Wood still standing there, holding the note she had given him, and looking at her blankly. The lady smiled at him, and the compassion on her face touched Wood's heart deeply.

Ten years ago, Wood was discovered and adopted by an elderly couple, who did not live a wealthy life, but gave Wood a happy childhood. But just a year ago, they both died, and Wood was left alone.

Nine-year-old Wood has no source of income and does not accept child labor. There was no way, and in order to make a living, Wood did petty theft. But Wood is not a thief in the true sense of the word, he just returns the stolen things to the owner in another way, so as to obtain the favor of the owner. Although the money is not much, sometimes not only does not take the money, but is also beaten as a thief.

The townspeople all knew Wood, and Wood picked on strangers and never on acquaintances, so everyone turned a blind eye to his actions. The small town of Colt is a very small place, as it is an interchange point for the train station, so there are often some travelers in a hurry. This creates a stable income for Wood, although it is not much, but it is not difficult to maintain a person's life.

Almost everyone here grew up watching Wood, and everyone is here to help him with his condition. The one who gave Wood the bun just now is a cute uncle. Don't look at his full beard and height, he looks a little scary. If you are familiar with him, you will find that he is actually a very cute uncle, his name is Charl.

The buns he made at home were delicious, and whenever Charl saw Wood passing by, he would give him a bun to eat. Wood was very fond of this Uncle Char and would go to him to help him when he was fine. Since child labor is not allowed here, he always helps as a family member, and Char will pay him in other ways. Sometimes it's some baked rabbit, sometimes it's a big loaf of bread. These are the most delicious things in the world, in Wood's opinion.

It was almost noon when Wood finished his busy work from the train station, and the steamed bun he had eaten in the morning had already been digested. On the way back, Wood passed a café where a young man called Wood's name at the window.

"Hey Wood, this is for you, it's really cold today, drink it while it's hot, it's guaranteed to make you burn in an instant." It was a young man named Bob, who had just taken over the coffee shop from his father. The small town of Colt is cold almost all year round, and now it is winter, the coldest time of the year.

Bob was ten years older than Wood, exactly twenty, and every day he would prepare a cup of hot chocolate for Wood. On a harsh winter day, being able to drink a cup of hot chocolate is undoubtedly the best for Wood.

"How's your luck today?" Bob asked with concern when he saw that Wood looked a little bad.

"Good luck today, at least a cup of hot chocolate to drink." Wood held up the note in his hand and said helplessly. I don't know if it's because of today's weather, this hot chocolate is so bitter to drink.

"It's okay, maybe it's too cold today, and those rich people are too scared to go out. By the time summer arrives, you'll be busy. Bob said unkemptly, the whole of Colt Town knew about Wood. The police were helpless against Wood, after all, if Wood didn't, they had something to do with the police.

Wood didn't listen to Bob's words because his mind was full of images of the middle-aged woman smiling at him. The woman just now was really too kind, and if you were to talk about her age, her mother should be about the same age as the woman just now. Could it be that his mother is also such an elegant and gentle person? The thought of his mother left Wood in deep thought.

It is known that Wood was adopted by the old couple from an early age, and it is said that they found Wood in the snow in the mountains at the time. At that time, Wood was only a few months old, lying naked on the snow, bruised and bruised from the cold, and he was barely breathing.

That night, everyone came to visit the little guy and saw that because of the cold, his whole body showed a purple-blue color, and his breathing was also very weak. At that time, everyone said that the child was not saved, and although everyone knew that the child could not be saved, they still brought goat's milk and milk from their own homes as much as possible. At that time, milk was the most precious thing for them. Because of the climate, the people who live here are not very wealthy. Later, Wood miraculously survived, and his body was quite good-looking, and he was also very good-looking. A pair of dark blue eyes can always attract everyone's affection.

At the age of nine, the old couple both died, leaving Wood alone. Wood, who has been sensible since he was a child, does not want to add a burden to everyone and chooses to live alone.

As Wood dragged his tired body back to the edge of Colt Town, there were only two dilapidated houses. If it rains in the summer, the house will leak.

At night, Wood stretched out his left hand, and a small leaping flame appeared in the palm of his hand. With the fire, I can barely see things in the room, and the things in the house are very simple, and at first glance they look like the kind of things that have been used for a long time. Because of the humid air, some places are moldy.

Wood took out the note and looked at it carefully. This is a 10-ream note, which is not a small amount in the small town of Colt. 10 Orders you can buy a very good lamb here, and if you have a lamb and feed it well, you can sell it when the lamb has milk. In this way, I can be regarded as having a stable income, although it is not much, but after a long time, this is also a large amount.

I don't know what kind of urgency happened to the lady, but I hope she can do well. It was getting late, and Wood extinguished the fire in his palm, lay on the bed, and looked out the window at the moon. A cold wind blew, and Wood wrapped the quilt tighter around him.

In the darkness, Wood heard a small voice coming from outside the door, and Wood said in displeasure, "You're late tonight, you know, I hate unpunctual people the most." Well, although you are not human, as an animal, you should also have your own concept of time. To punish you for being late, you just develop outside for ten minutes, oh no, five minutes. ”

Thinking that it was cold today, Wood still couldn't bear it. Hearing Wood's voice, it was quiet outside the door. Wood wrapped himself in the quilt curiously and walked lightly to the door. There was a large crack in the door, through which Wood could see a small squirrel standing outside the door.

"Oh, well, not for example." Seeing the little squirrel looking at him with teary eyes, Wood finally relented. Opening the door, the squirrel, who had teary eyes just a moment ago, immediately rushed into the room and lay down where Wood had slept just now.

"Hey, you go over there, this is my place." Wood shouted in displeasure when he saw that his place was being taken. But when the squirrel heard Wood's voice, he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, as if you dared to do anything to me.

"You guy, you're really getting more and more lawless, it seems that I'm going to find an animal that can subdue you in the future. Well, let me think, what are you most afraid of? Wood pretended to think, and when the squirrel heard Wood's words, he quickly got up, jumped on Wood's back, and went to scratch his back.

"Hahaha, it's so itchy, for your sake, I won't bother with you today. Okay, it's not too early, we have to hurry up and go to bed, there are still many things waiting for us to do tomorrow. "Wood and the little squirrel finally fell asleep peacefully.

From an early age, Wood was able to drive small animals and make them do what they wanted. Wood understands all animals and communicates with them like friends. The little squirrel Wood had been quietly raised for several years, and now the two of them are good friends.

In the middle of the night, Wood wakes up from the cold, and from time to time snowflakes drift in through the cracks in the door. Wood glanced out of the door under the quilt, only to see that there was a white expanse outside, and the entire Colt town was covered with a layer of white.

It was early in the morning, and Wood was up just after dawn. The little squirrel stretched lazily, and then reluctantly slipped out of Wood's covers. As soon as he popped out his little head, he was frightened by the oncoming cold, and the little squirrel quickly retracted into the quilt and did not come out again.

Wood burned some snow water and served breakfast with dry bread. He left a loaf of bread for the little squirrel, who smelled it and eventually climbed out of the covers.

"Today we have a difficult task, you can also see that it is still snowing outside at this time, and it is estimated that there are fewer people at the station. But it's Bob's birthday, and I want to give him a present, so we're going to have to get the money to buy Bob anyway. Wood kept the note he had received yesterday in good condition. It is estimated that no matter what happens in the future, he will not spend this note.

It's Bob's birthday, and Wood has long thought about what to give him. Wood had long been optimistic about a hat, but because he had never saved enough money, to this day, Wood has not scraped together enough money to buy that hat.

If they can get 2 lings today, he can go buy that hat, which is a very beautiful hat made of rabbit fur. It will definitely be very warm in winter, but unfortunately today's weather is not beautiful.

In such weather, there will definitely be very few people at the train station, and if there are fewer people, it will become difficult for him to start. However, Wood decided that he was going to give it a try anyway, so today he brought in the little squirrel to help.

There were very few people on the streets, and many were still asleep at this time. Wood knew there would be a bus arriving early this morning, so he got up extra early today. As soon as he arrived at the train station, Wood found a very fat gentleman. He carried a heavy suitcase in his hand, a cane in one hand, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. At first glance, he is a rich man, and if Wood does not have an accident this time, he will definitely be able to get a good return.

As soon as the gentleman got off the train, he was startled by the sudden cold and snowflakes. The gentleman put his neck in a heavy scarf and complained disapprehensively about the abominable weather. Wood also hates weather like this, and this kind of weather is more harmful than good for Wood.

Wood asked the little squirrel to follow the gentleman quietly, and the little squirrel was very agile and difficult to spot in the heavy snow. The gentleman looked like he was going to the other half of the train, so Wood followed him unhurriedly. Soon, the little squirrel got his hands on it, and Wood took the wallet that the little squirrel had thrown over, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
