The gentleman found his wallet missing at the ticket gate, which contained the train ticket he had already bought. The fat gentleman found that his ticket was missing, and immediately began to scold, seeing that the train was about to start, the gentleman was even more anxious.

At this point, Wood followed his old routine and returned the wallet to the gentleman. But what Wood was waiting for in the heavy snow was not an excited thanks, but an even worse beating. After the other party gave Wood a slap, he began to scold again: "You little ghost, you must be the one you stole my wallet, your tricks are outdated, I have seen a lot." Take advantage of the fact that I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, hurry up, otherwise I will call the police and let the police arrest you. ”

After getting on the train, the gentleman was still cursing on his lips. Wood clutched his hot cheeks as he watched the gentleman sit down in his seat. Wood, who had been beaten, felt extremely aggrieved, and saw that the gentleman was already sitting in his seat, and his mouth was still cursing to himself. He was already indignant in his heart, but when he saw the kind lady he had met yesterday sitting across from the gentleman, a feeling of not knowing what it was, made Wood's heart collapse instantly.

Looking at the fat gentleman who was still chattering and insulting him, he saw the lady sitting across from him looking at the gentleman in bewilderment, and then turned her gaze to herself. Wood's young heart was hit like never before. Wood clasped his hands, dark blue eyes glowing with fire.

The gentleman had a small packet of honey in his pocket, and for some reason the honey package was broken. Not far away, the sound of bees buzzing in the heavy snow was heard, and the little squirrel quickly opened the window of the train, and a large swarm of bees instantly surrounded the gentleman.

There were loud exclamations from inside the train, and Wood walked away without looking back. Wood felt that all that he had done would not be discovered, but he did not want everything he had done to be seen by an old man with white hair sitting in the corner of the train. Randomly, the old man got off the train and walked along the footprints in the snow.

Wood was walking alone on the street, and the little squirrel had already hid in Wood's clothes. The shop that sells hats is on the street, and the most conspicuous place in the window is the hat made of rabbit fur. In such a cold weather, just looking at it, it will feel very warm.

Wood stood in front of the window, looking at the hat, his eyes filled with tears. He is just a ten-year-old child, and after experiencing the life and death of his loved ones, he still has to face the life of a person. Just now, he was slapped hard by that man in order to make a living, and his cheeks are still hot and painful.

Wood reached out and stroked his cheek lightly, and it was only then that the red and swollen cheek returned to its original appearance. It's just that the pain on his face will still be there, and he can only make himself look like he's fine.

"It's a birthday present for you." In the coffee shop, Wood said to Bob with a simple hat in his hand, with a smile on his face.

"It's amazing, I need a hat like this, thank you so much, Wood. Why did you come out so early today, and look at the clothes on your body are all wet. Take it off and bake it next to the fire. Bob liked the hat Wood had given him, and he made him a glass of warm milk and a piece of bread.

Wood hadn't eaten enough, and he had been freezing outside for a long time, so good that he had hot milk and bread, and ate it unceremoniously.

"What are you going to do in the future, you are still young and should go to school. You see, the kids who are your age are now in school. The last time I talked to the principal about you, he said you can go and go to school for free. Bob said that now in Colt Town, kids the age of Wood are already in school.

"If I go to school, I won't have time to get money, and even if the school doesn't charge me tuition, then I won't be able to live in the future. So, I'm not going to go to school, and when I've saved enough money, I'll think about going to school. Wood reluctantly said that he knew that everyone took good care of him, but the problem was that if he went to school, then he wouldn't have time to go to the train station. Even if the school doesn't charge him tuition, his living expenses in the future will be a big problem.

At such a young age, he has to bear such a lot of pressure, which makes people on the side feel unbearable when they hear it. Not long after Wood came in, an old man with white hair came to Bob's café. The man sat right behind Wood, and when he heard Wood's words, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Young people, young age, don't be so discouraged. I know of a college that not only does it not charge tuition, but it also provides you with free accommodation. It's just that that academy doesn't accept all students, and whether you can bake it in depends on your own conditions. The white-haired old man saw that Wood didn't react and said, "I don't want you to say that I'm the headmaster of that college, and I'm Brooke, I don't know if you've heard my name?" ”

"I'm sorry, I don't think I've heard your name mentioned in Colt Town." Wood replied truthfully.

"Oh, it's okay kid, if you say, our school is a very interesting house. If you're interested, you can follow the address on my note. Trust me, it's a very interesting college, and you're going to love it. With that, Brooke handed Wood a small note with an address written on it, but Wood didn't know where the place was.

When Brooke was gone, Bob came over, pointed to the address on the note, and said, "What kind of place is this, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"Me too, I've never heard the name before, and the address looks very special, not like it's near us." Brooke's figure quickly disappeared into the snow, and although Wood didn't believe the strange old man's words very much, he was quite interested in the conditions he had just said.

If you don't charge tuition fees and can also provide room and board, this is undoubtedly the perfect fit for Wood at the moment. But what if what this old man said was false, and this school didn't exist at all, and he was just a prank for a while?

Wood's heart that had just been burned fell to the bottom in an instant, perhaps, a child like him is destined to be like this for the rest of his life, right? Wood casually tossed the small, old-looking note into the nearby fire, and just as the note was lit, Wood heard a 'pop' sound in the air.

The sound was so small that Bob, who was busy, didn't even hear it, but Wood did. However, this sound did not attract Wood's attention, and in the furnace, such a sound was normal, and there was often a crackling sound. "Thank you for your birthday present, come to my house for dinner in the evening, my father made our favorite cake." When Wood left, Bob said that every year on Bob's birthday, he would invite Wood to his house to celebrate the birthday together. Since Wood didn't know his birthday, it was also a birthday together, and every year Bob's father would make a birthday cake for each of them, which was the most delicious thing Wood remembered.

"Okay, I'll go to you in the evening, I'm looking forward to what the cake will be like this time. Whatever it was, it was the most delicious food I can remember. Wood said with a smile.

Bob's father, who fell ill last year, is now confined to a wheelchair. But even if he can't walk, Bob's father, Curry, who is naturally enthusiastic and active, is still an idle person. Knowing that it was Bob and Wood's birthdays, he got up early in the morning to prepare something for the cake. Bob's mother died when he was very young, and now only father and son are left to live together.

Curry was very nice to Wood, he liked this self-reliant little kid very much, and every time Bob had a birthday, he would ask Bob to call Wood along. Wood also likes Curry very much, thinks he's a good guy to work with, and he's always thinking about people.

Bob's house, two blocks away from where Wood lived, and when it was time for dinner, Wood changed into his only clothes that looked new and walked to Bob's house. As he approached Bob's house, Wood felt like someone was following him again. But when he looked back, he found that there was nothing.

"Wood, you're just in time, look at what I've got for you today." Seeing Wood, Curry said happily, he had two boxes in his hands, one for Bob, and the box had been opened. There's one for Wood, and it's a beautiful box.

"Thank you, Mr. Curry." Wood took the box, and under everyone's gaze, he opened the beautiful box. The moment he saw the gift, Wood felt the urge to cry. Curry gave him exactly what he wanted to give Bob for his birthday, but in the end, Wood didn't scrape together enough money to buy a relatively cheap hat.

"I just heard Bob say that you gave him a hat too, and I didn't expect the two of us to have the same idea of giving gifts." Curry said with a laugh.

"Thank you very much, I love this birthday present." It was the most expensive gift Wood had ever received as much as he had ever grown.

"And mine, this is a gift from me, open it and see if you like it?" Bob gives Wood the gift he was going to give to Wood.

"Wow, is this a chameleon? This is my favorite pet and thank you, Bob, I really enjoyed this gift. "Being able to receive a pet as a gift for his 10th birthday, especially Wood's favorite chameleon, Wood really feels like the happiest person he is.

"I hope it can be by your side, and it's a very obedient chameleon, what kind of name are you going to give her? Mind you, she's a girl, and she's a pretty girl. Bob said jokingly.

"Louise, how about I call you Louise, do you like the name?" Wood asked with a smile, he thought the name should be pretty good. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the chameleon speak:

"Please call me Longlong."

Curry and Bob on the side certainly wouldn't have heard what the chameleon said, but Wood could hear it clearly.

"Oh no, I think it's better to call her Longlong, although the name sounds a lot like a boy's name, but I think she'll like it. Don't you say, Longlong? Wood hurriedly said, only to see that the chameleon nodded very cooperatively when he heard Wood's words.

"Hey, look, she just nodded, and it seems that she really likes the name you gave her. Then we'll call her Long Long from now on, Long Long, welcome to be a member of Colt Town, my name is Bob. Bob introduced himself.

"Hey, Longlong, I'm Curry." Curry also joked.

"Hey, I'm your master, my name is Wood." Wood said happily, and after speaking, the three of them laughed happily. The three of them had a great time at the meal, and it was here that Wood spent his most memorable 10th birthday.

By the time Wood returned, it was already dark, but the two of them were not far apart, just two streets apart. Therefore, Wood, who was accustomed to the darkness, insisted on going home by himself and refused to let him go.

On the road, Wood always felt like someone was behind him, feeling like he was being spied on. But when Wood jerked his head back, he saw that there was nothing. Wood learned to call as he walked, and in a few moments, many bats were quietly flying behind him. In the dark of night, black bats do not attract the attention of others.

After a while, a bat landed on Wood's shoulder, and soon flew away again. A smile tipped into Wood's face, and his voice subtly changed from a crisp birdsong to a rhythmic one. It sounds like a pleasant whistling sound, but it has a different meaning to the animals here.

Soon, there were a lot of small animals around Wood, and there were many hardy small animals living in the small town of Colt. These animals are very good friends with Wood, and when they hear Wood's call, they will quickly rush over from all directions.

The animals had great night vision, and they soon spotted the small figure that was sneaking behind Wood. Without Wood's command, these little creatures immediately swarmed up and surrounded the figure that was following Wood.

"Oh, don't hurt me, please don't hurt me." An unusually sharp voice sounded, and I saw that the small figure was full of small animals. Some had already opened their mouths to bite, and some were constantly tearing at his clothes with their sharp claws. Others left a very fresh mark on his head, and the other party felt that his shoes had been taken off at some point in a panic, and he screamed in a hurry.

"My shoes, everybody took my shoes, they were my new shoes."
