Back at Chengjiawan, night completely enveloped this small village in the middle of nowhere.

Cheng Zhong went to find his godfather first.

"Baa", "Baa", "Baa......"

The sheep are entering the circle one after another, which is the most lively time of the day.

The cry of the sheep is very pleasant, some are high-pitched and loud, some are low and majestic, some are tactful and melodious, and a variety of voices form a unique ensemble, like a victorious general and soldier.

Cheng Zhong felt that today's sheep bleating was particularly pleasant and beautiful.

Cheng Zhong once discussed the sound of sheep bleating with a few partners at Grandpa God's place.

Some friends said that sheep were born with a bitter life and could not escape the fate of being slaughtered, so the bleating sound was like a sad cry.

Some say that sheep are born ignorant and have a low IQ, and that their bleating is meaningless, just instinctively calling.

Cheng Zhong thinks that a flock of sheep is a kind of chorus, they live happily, and they sing for life!

"What can a sheep be happy about?" said most of his companions looked at him with a contemptuous gaze.

"The sheep wander around in the field for a day, and when they turn around, their bellies are round, and they only wait for the night to regurgitate, and they do not worry about hunger.

There is also a large kiln in the sheepfold to shelter from the wind and rain, and if you don't worry about the cold, why are you not happy?

Besides, how many animals can truly control their own destiny?

Human beings are the spirits of all things, and most people are not yet unable to control their own destiny.

Since you don't know when you will die, it is better to be happy for a while, and happy for a day!"

The companions were speechless.

Grandpa Gan listened to Cheng Zhong's talk at that time, and was stunned for a long time before he said with emotion:

"I've been herding sheep for half my life, and I know that the sheep are happy when they return to the circle, but I don't understand the truth. Zhong Wa's words pierced a layer of window paper, and the godfather was taught!

My baby is young, sensible, and smart, and I'm afraid that I will be a big man in our Tiemu Mountain in the future!"

......

Seeing that the godfather gathered all the sheep into the circle, Cheng Zhong stepped forward and stuffed ten ten-yuan tickets into the hands of the godfather, and when Liu Changfu was stunned, he ran away.

Back at home, Cheng Zhong went directly into the hall.

Seeing his grandfather and his father sitting and chatting, he took out all the remaining 900 yuan in his schoolbag, knelt on the kang, and handed it to his grandfather with both hands.

He saw that his grandfather's hands were trembling very much, as if the money was about to fall on the kang, and his expression was even more colorful, as if he was laughing and crying, excited and nervous.

"Zhong Wa, you, you, you...... Where did you get so much money?" Grandpa's voice trembled.

"Yes, where did you get the money, tell Grandpa quickly!" Dad echoed urgently.

In fact, this kind of scene, when he was on the road, Cheng Zhong had already rehearsed it in his mind, and it was almost the same.

The family is really difficult, a big family of more than a dozen people, adults work hard every day, all year round, the dividends earned in the production team are only about 100 yuan.

Suddenly getting a heavy astronomical amount of 900 yuan, for grandpa and father, it was purely a "pie in the sky" and smashed their heads, how could they not be shocked, how could they not ask?

They are poor and want a sum of money to improve the situation.

But they are all honest farmers, for fear that the money will come from the wrong way and cause trouble for the children!

"Grandpa, Dad, I met someone from outside the world.

He wants to take me as an apprentice, and he is willing to help our whole family.

He gave him all this money, and he could spend it with confidence.

He said that he asked Dad to buy more food and more meat.

I want to learn martial arts from him, my body is too thin and I need to eat more meat.

He also said that there is no need to save, and you can give it again when the money is spent. ”

This is what Cheng Zhong thought about on the way, and he mustered up the courage to finish it in one breath.

Some lies are a must.

He couldn't say this: The money was given by the wolf, and the wolf and I are good friends.

Who would believe such a thing?

Besides, he said that he was in the company of wolves, for fear that he would scare the elders into fear, so it would be strange if he was not locked up.

Grandpa and Dad seemed to believe it or not, and wanted to interrogate. Cheng Zhong threw out a sentence:

"Don't ask again, the master doesn't want to reveal too much. The master said, if you don't believe me, let me return the money!"

When the old father and son looked at each other, Cheng Zhong had already run out of the door to play......

From the next day, Cheng Zhong will come out to accompany him on the way to and from school, as long as he is alone.

The guy would sometimes jump high and knock him headlong into the ground.

Sometimes they would put one arm on his shoulder and lick his face with his long tongue, and the smell of fish in his mouth would make him sick.

Fortunately, Cheng Zhong has loved animals since he was a child and has an extraordinary tolerance to the smell of various animals.

A few days later, Cheng Zhong's communication with the male wolf has become more and more smooth.

Not only can wolves understand common human language, but humans have also gradually understood simple wolf language.

Coupled with the cooperation of body language, in general, it is almost possible to communicate without barriers.

They have come to address each other.

Cheng Zhong called the male wolf "red in the snow".

This is the name given solely by the color of its coat, as it has white fur like snow all over its body and patches of red spots on its back.

The male wolf called Cheng Zhong "Ngawang".

The main thing is that it is easy to pronounce, and it may also contain blessings and hopes,

They also discussed ways to get in touch.

Cheng Zhong learned to bark when he was looking for a red dog in the snow, "Wangwang", "Wang-", the barking was three short and one long.

Xue Lihong learned to call a sheep when she found a bell, "baa, baa", "baa-", which are also three short and one long.

Xue Lihong asked Ah Wang to have time to pay attention to the crazy wife of Ma Er's family, and he must tell him if there is a situation.

Cheng Zhong had a hint of doubt, but agreed without hesitation.

When he wasn't at school on Sundays, Xue Lihong would run for a long time with Cheng Zhong until he was too tired to get up.

In its opinion, the best exercise is running.

Cheng Zhong's food has improved.

The father still chose to believe and listen to his son.

He bought a lot of grain and pork, and brought it home in the middle of the night, completely looking like a thief.

The meat is also cooked in the evening, and after cooking, it is marinated and eaten slowly.

When everyone is starving, the family eating meat is too noticeable.

Sometimes it can offend public anger and even bring unexpected suspicions, causing unnecessary trouble and danger.

In order to satisfy the child's "master", Cheng Zhong has meat for two meals in the morning and evening, and the steamed buns brought to school during the day are also the whitest flour and lard, which are crispy and delicious, making the students salivate.

Sometimes, Xuelihong will send one or two pheasants to Cheng Zhong to improve his life, and his mother will carefully wash and peel them, and use a casserole to make milky pheasant soup as Cheng Zhong's breakfast.

In return, Cheng Zhong sometimes asks his godfather for two bottles of goat's milk to give to the wolf cubs to satisfy their hunger.

The standard of living of a large family has skyrocketed, and they can eat delicious white noodles at every meal, and sometimes there is white rice that can only be eaten by people in the city, and stir-fried vegetables with meat have been served on the table at noon.

is in a critical period of growth and development, the improvement of food, the increase in activity, so that Cheng Zhong quickly became stronger, his face was ruddy, and his height also jumped up a lot.

At first glance, he already looks like a big guy.

As the days passed, Xue Lihong became Cheng Zhong's inseparable partner and friend.

Snow Red is also his biggest secret, pinning on his endless hopes and dreams.

Cheng Zhong's mind slowly matured.

When lying quietly on the bed, carefully recalling the process of interacting with Xue Lihong, he sorted out some important clues:

First, the origin of Xueli Red is definitely extraordinary, and the statement "after the wolf god" is credible.

Since there is a wolf god in the sky, there must also be a human god.

Although this subverted the education he received, the universe is so big that there are no wonders, and he would rather believe it in his heart.

The second is that Xue Lihong has lived alone in the underground labyrinth of Tiemu Mountain for a long time, and there must be a special reason.

Because wolves are social animals, it is not normal for Xuelihong to live in isolation for a long time.

Cheng Zhong ventured to guess that maybe it had some kind of duty, as if it was guarding something, or waiting for something.

The third is the mechanism that exists in the underground labyrinth, which is obviously not something that wolves can create, and there may be human involvement, and there may be a big secret hidden here.

The fourth is the relationship between Xue Lihong and herself.

On the surface, because he saved the wolf cub, he was grateful to him and tried his best to repay him.

But his intuition told him that it seemed that Xue Lihong also had some kind of need or dependence on himself, but the time was not yet right and he had not yet shown it.

Anyway, Xue Lihong and him are already "grasshoppers on a rope".

It helped him change the lives of his family, whether it was for repayment, friendship, or his dreams, he should follow him in life and death......

A heavy snowfall came unexpectedly and fell one after another for a day and a night.

For a time, the Tiemu Mountains were covered in silver, and all the dust was covered, and the jade trees and silver flowers became a pure world.

Most of the work in the field of the production team has ended, and it is rare to have a good snowfall, and the captain Wang Jinchuan is particularly gracious and allows the members to rest for a day.

It was on this day that a stranger came to Chengjiawan.
