The early morning sun shines through the branches on Motoo's face, and the shadows of the leaves change, sometimes like a smiling face and then like a crying face.

"What a man!" Motowei woke up with his limbs squirming, feeling a tingle in his back.

He stood up with his hands on crutches, only to notice that there was something different behind him against the tree where he had slept all night. The area of Liangji Mountain is located in the north, and most of the tall trees on the mountain are such as Acacia, Catalpa, Black Pine, and Tietong, as well as various low shrubs, but this one in front of you is a tree that Motoo has never seen. Not to mention the jagged bumps on the trunk, he was amazed by the thick trunk and its towering height.

Motoo didn't know how many times he had walked the mountain road from the log cabin to the monkey ditch, and he had never discovered the existence of this giant tree before. Curiously stroking the pimple on the trunk, Motowei sighed for a while.

"What a big tree, why didn't you find it last night?"

"What an ugly tree! There is such an ugly tree in the world!"

After walking around the tree a few times, Motowei wrapped the snake staff around his waist and began to measure the thickness of the trunk with open arms.

That's a chunk of the length of the seven reaches!

The sudden appearance of the big tree made Motoo excited for a while, but he didn't think much about it. Remembering that his cousin had come to visit him yesterday, he limped to his cabin after a while.

An hour later, Motoo returned to a cabin under a boulder near the bottom of the mountain.

The wooden house is made of a number of thick branches, only the height of an adult, the length and width are only two feet square, stones, logs, thick branches for the wall, thick thatch for the roof, although simple, it looks fine and solid. In the room, there is a bed with a mixed structure of earth, stone and branches, a stone table, and two low stools made of rattan, and the small space is not too crowded, but it looks neat, bright and has a little fragrance of mountain flowers. There is a small medicine field in front of the wooden house, and several common medicinal herbs are growing vigorously.

Gently pushed open the hidden firewood door, and there were a few golden sticks on the stone table in the house, which may be the rations that my cousin saved after a few meals, and Yuan Wei felt a trace of warmth in his heart inexplicably.

On weekdays, Yuanwei relies on mountain fruits and wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger, and this nest head is a rare delicacy. After gobbling up a nest head, he cherished the rest in his arms. Seeing that it was still early and a little bored, Motoo thought about going to see his cousin near Huangshi Village, even if he couldn't face him, it was a great satisfaction to look at him from afar.

Closing the chai door casually, a gray shadow flashed in the forest in front of Yuanwei's eyes.

"Ash, ash, is that you?" called Motoo.

Lin Zhong did not respond for a long time.

"It must be you, I've seen you, hurry up and come out for me!"

After another moment, a half-man-tall gray mountain wolf came out of Ai Ai at the end of the tree. If this ferocious mountain wolf appeared in the eyes of the mountain people, I don't know how many people would be scared. However, Motoo, who was powerless, was as happy as if he had met a good friend.

"Stinky boy, I knew it was you, and I dared to play hide and seek with me, see how I messed with you!" Motoo said and greeted him.

The gray wolf was not very enthusiastic, his earthy yellow triangular eyes were full of disdain, and he even deliberately turned his ass around and twisted it a few times towards the motoo.

Yuanwei held it in his arms regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, and arched head-to-head. Although this gray wolf looks majestic, it is actually only two years old, and it is said that he still grew up with Mototail. Before the gray wolf was born, Motoo had treated his mother's leg injury. Later, the she-wolf brought pheasants and hares many times to thank Yuanwei, and Yuanwei also had an indissoluble bond with the wolves.

"Gray Gray! How about you accompany me to Huangshi Village today! I want to see Sister Bell! Okay, you talk!"

Perhaps there was some resistance to the weak name of Gray Gray, and the gray wolf let Yuan Wei hold his neck and shake for a while, but he refused to say anything.

"You're going with me! I'm so bored on my own road, I don't even have anyone to talk to!"

The gray wolf remained motionless as a rock.

"You're really not with me?"

"Please, okay?"

"Next time you break your bones and scratch your skin, don't come to me!"

I don't know if it was Motowei's coercion and temptation that worked, or if the gray wolf knew that he couldn't survive the boy's nagging, it finally compromised, and stood up and walked towards Huangshi Village in frustration.

A man and a wolf walked in the mountains, and the happy voice of Motowei never stopped.

"Where did you go yesterday? Did you hear me calling you?"

"Have you been in a fight with Flowey lately?"

The more merry Motoo said, the lower the wolf's head drooped, so low that it almost buried its nose in the dead branches and leaves on the road like a wild boar.

Passing through a tall wood, then a man-deep bush, and after another hour, through the gap between the bushes, the low houses of Yellowstone Village were already in sight.

"Ash, go low, don't scare people!" Motoo said as he stroked the mountain wolf's head with his hand. In fact, the mountain wolf is shorter than him, and hidden in the bushes cannot be seen by outsiders.

Between the bushes and the village of Huangshi is a large area of terraced rice fields, which are the land where the villagers make a living, but fortunately, these terraces are also fertile and can save some food rations in good weather. It was early summer, and there were many people tending to the crops in the fields, and there were also a few naughty children playing in the fields.

"The eldest uncle's family and the second uncle's family are busy in the fields!"

"I see Sister Bell! I see it!"

Because he was abandoned since he was a child, he was ruthlessly driven away when he was eight years old, and Yuan Wei has a particularly strong desire for family affection, looking at the so-called uncle's house, there is no hatred in his little heart, and some are just kind. And for the only cousin who treats him well, there is a love that is so strong that it can't be dissolved.

"Little mute! little mute! looks like a flower!

She won't cry, she won't laugh, who will marry her when she grows up!"

Happy nursery rhymes come from the fields, which clouds Motoo's already wonderful mood.

The cousin bell is delicate and cute, with a pointed melon seed face, big eyes, faint eyebrows, a small nose and mouth, and a cute pink carving, and she can be regarded as the first flower in Huangshi Village when it comes to appearance. It's a pity that she can't speak by nature, and she probably won't be able to find her ideal in-law when she grows up. This was originally a pain for the second uncle's family, but now that they are busy with farm work, the adults obviously can't take care of the children's foolishness.

Motoo was not happy, he knew that although his cousin could not speak, he could hear it.

"It's a hammer again, a few bear children! When the bell grows up, no one will marry me!

Muttering, Motowei turned his head to look at the gray ash lying on the ground, and frowned and had an idea.

"Ash, it's okay for you to run out and scare and scare the hammers! But you can't bite them! When they cry, come back quickly, you know!"

Ash seemed happy to do such a prank, and let out a low whimper, and a gray shadow of lightning sprang out of the bushes and headed straight for the boys in the field.

The boy called Hammer has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and his teenage age has already given him a little manly spirit. But this was only on the surface, and when he saw a mountain wolf the size of a calf rushing towards him, his mouth that had been humming a little song seemed to be stretched open, but there was no sound in his throat. A chill that rose from his heel froze his body instantly, and the half-sized man hung there like a scarecrow, forgetting to escape.

The same was true for the other children, the beasts of the two seasons rarely appeared outside the village, and the ash was more terrifying in their eyes than the demon in their dreams.

The frolicking children suddenly closed their mouths, which made the people who bent over the fields curious, and when they saw the wolf clearly, the first thought in their minds was that the children were dead.

However, the ash simply swept past the children, and then disappeared like lightning into the nearby bushes.

A moment later, several children broke out in heart-rending cries without any scruples, and the adults who rushed over with hoes, sickles and other farm tools could still vaguely smell the smell of urine and feces on their bodies.

The bell, which was standing in the field, looked at the place where the gray wolf had disappeared and smiled knowingly. As a frequent visitor to Liangji Mountain, of course she knew those mountain beast friends in Yuanwei, and she was as smart as her, so she naturally understood that this was a small trick that her cousin helped her with.

Motoo, who was hiding in the bushes, was already rolling on the ground with laughter, and he didn't even notice that Ash had taken the opportunity to sneak away.
