The gentleman found that his wallet was missing at the ticket gate, and there were train tickets he had bought long ago. The fat gentleman found that his ticket was missing and immediately started to curse. As the train was about to start, the gentleman was even more anxious.
At this time, Wood returned the wallet to the gentleman according to the original routine. However, what Wood was waiting for in the heavy snow was not the other party's excitement, but the more harsh beating and scolding. After the other party slapped Wood, he began to curse: "You little guy, you must be the one you stole my wallet. Your trick is outdated, and I have seen a lot. When I don't have time to talk nonsense to you, leave quickly, otherwise I will call the police and let the police catch you."
After getting on the train, the gentleman was still cursing. Wood covered his hot cheeks and watched the gentleman sit down in his seat. Wood was beaten and felt very wronged. Seeing that the gentleman was already sitting in his seat and his mouth was still cursing him. He was already angry, but when he saw that the gentleman was sitting opposite the gentleman, the kind lady he met yesterday, a feeling of not knowing what it was, causing Wood's heart to collapse instantly.
Looking at the fat gentleman who was still chattering and insulting him, seeing the lady sitting opposite him looking at the gentleman in confusion, and then shifting her gaze to him. Wood's young heart was hit like never before. Wood clenched his hands, and his dark blue eyes were lit up.
A small bag of honey was placed in the gentleman's pocket. At this time, for some reason, the honey packaging was broken. Not far away, the buzzing sound of bees came from the heavy snow. The little squirrel quickly opened the train window, and a large group of bees instantly surrounded the gentleman.
People screamed loudly in the train, but Wood left without looking back. Wood felt that nothing he had done would be discovered, but he didn't expect that everything he did was seen by a white-haired old man sitting in the corner of the train. Randomly, the old man got off the train and walked along the footprints on the snow.
Wood was walking alone on the street. The little squirrel just now had already hidden in Wood's clothes. The hat-selling shop was right on the street. The most conspicuous position in the window was the hat made of rabbit fur. In such a cold weather, just looking at it, you will feel very warm.
Wood stood in front of the window, looking at the hat, his eyes were filled with tears. He was just a ten-year-old child. After experiencing the separation of his relatives, he had to face the life of a person. Just now, in order to make a living, he was slapped hard by the man, and his cheeks still hurts sharply.
Wood reached out and gently stroked his cheeks, and his red and swollen cheeks returned to their original appearance. However, there was still pain on his face, and he could only make himself look like he was fine.
"This is a birthday gift for you." Wood said to Bob in the coffee shop with a hat of ordinary style in his hand, with a smile on his face.
"It's amazing. I just need such a hat. Thank you so much, Wood. Why did you come out so early today? Look at your clothes wet. Take them off quickly and put them next to the stove and bake them." Bob liked the hat that Wood gave him very much. He made a cup of hot milk for Wood and brought a bun.
Wood was not full at all, and he had been frozen outside for a long time just now, so he had a good time that the hot milk and bread started eating without hesitation.
"What do you plan to do in the future? You are still young and should go to school. Look at the children as old as you are, they are already in school. I talked about you last time to the principal, and he said you can go to school for free." Bob said, now in Colt Town, I think children as old as Wood have already started to go to school.
"If I go to school, I don't have time to get money. Even if the school doesn't charge my tuition, I won't be able to live in the future. So, I'll stop going to school. When I save enough money, I'll consider going to school." Wood said helplessly. He knew that everyone took good care of him, but the problem is that if he goes to school, he won't have time to go to the train station. Even if the school doesn't charge his tuition, his living expenses in the future will be a big problem.
At such a young age, people on the side felt unbearable when they heard this. Just now, a white-haired old man also came to Bob's cafe. The man was sitting behind Wood. When he heard Wood's words, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Young man, young, don't be so discouraged. I know there is a college that can enter that school smoothly, not only does not charge tuition fees, but also provides you with free accommodation. However, not all students charge that college. Whether it can be baked depends on your own conditions." The old man with gray hair and vicissitudes said without any reaction when he saw Wood, "I'm dissatisfied with you saying that I'm the principal of that college, and I'm Brooke. I wonder if you have ever heard of my name?"
"I'm sorry, I don't think I've heard anyone mention your name in the town of Colt." Wood answered truthfully.
"Oh, it doesn't matter to the kid. If you say it, our school is a very interesting college. If you are interested, you can look for it according to the address on my note. Believe me, it is a very interesting college, and you will definitely like it." Brooke said, and handed Wood a small note with an address on it, but Wood didn't know where the place was.
After Brooke left, Bob came over, pointed to the address on the note and said, "What is this place? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"So, I have never heard of this name before, and the address looks very special, not like it is near us." Brooke's figure soon disappeared into the snow. Although Wood did not believe the strange old man very much, he was quite interested in the conditions he mentioned just now.
If there is no tuition fee and food and accommodation, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate for Wood at present. But what the old man said is fake and this school does not exist at all, is he just a prank for a while?
Wood's heart, which had just been burned, fell to the bottom in an instant. Perhaps, a child like him was destined to be like this all his life, right? Wood threw the small, old-looking note into the stove next to it. Just as the note was ignited, Wood heard a "pop" sound from the air.
The sound was very small, and Bob, who was busy, didn't even hear this sound, but Wood heard it. However, this sound did not attract Wood's attention. In the stove, this sound was normal, and there were often crackling sounds. "Thank you for giving me a birthday gift. Come to my house for dinner in the evening. My father made our favorite cake." When Wood left, Bob said that every year Bob celebrated his birthday, he would invite Wood to his house to celebrate his birthday together. Because Wood didn't know his birthday, this was also considered their birthday together. Every year Bob's father would make a birthday cake for each of them, which was the most delicious thing in Wood's memory.
"Okay, I'll come to you tonight. I'm looking forward to what the cake will look like this time. No matter what it looks like, it's the most delicious food in my memory." Wood said with a smile.
Bob's father was sick last year and now he can only sit in 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 today is Bob and Wood's birthday, he got up early in the morning to prepare cake stuff. Bob's mother passed away when he was very young, and now only the father and son are left to live together.
Curry is very good to Wood. He likes this self-reliant child very much. Every time Bob celebrates his birthday, he will ask Bob to call Wood with him. Wood also likes Curry very much. He thinks he is a person who is easy to get along with and he always thinks about others.
Bob's home was two streets away from where Wood lived. When he was having supper, Wood changed into his only new clothes and walked to Bob's house. When he was about to arrive at Bob's house, Wood felt like someone was following him again. But when he turned around, he found that there was actually nothing.
"Wood, you're here just right. Look at what birthday gift I've prepared for you today." Curry said happily when he saw Wood. He was holding two boxes in his hand, one for Bob, the box was opened, and the other for Wood, which was a very beautiful box.
"Thank you, Mr. Curry." Wood took the box and opened the beautiful box under everyone's gaze. The moment he saw the gift, Wood had the urge to cry. What Curry gave him was the birthday gift he wanted to give to Bob, but in the end, because Wood didn't raise enough money, he bought a relatively cheap hat.
"I just heard Bob say that you gave him a hat, but I didn't expect that the two of us were in the same way as we were giving gifts." Curry said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, I love this birthday gift." This is the most expensive gift Wood has ever received when he grows up.
"And mine, this is what I gave to you. Open it and see if you like it?" Bob gave Wood the gift he wanted to give to Wood.
"Wow, is this a chameleon? This is my favorite pet, thank you, Bob, I really like this gift." Being able to receive a pet as my tenth birthday gift, especially Wood's favorite chameleon, Wood really feels that he is the happiest person.
"I hope it can be with you, and it is a very obedient chameleon. What kind of name do you plan to give her? Remind you that she is a girl, and she is a very beautiful girl." Bob said jokingly.
"Louise, how about I call you Louise? Do you like this name?" Wood asked with a smile. He thought the name should be considered good. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the chameleon speak:
"Please call me Longlong."
Of course, Curry and Bob next to him wouldn't hear what the Chameleon said, but Wood could hear it clearly.
"Oh no, I think it's better to call her Dragon Dragon. Although this name sounds like a boy's name, I think she will like it. Do you think it's Dragon Dragon?" Wood said quickly, and the chameleon nodded in a very consistent way when he heard Wood's words.
"Hey, look, she nodded just now. It seems that she really likes the name you gave her. Then let's call her Dragon Dragon in the future. Dragon Dragon, welcome you to be a member of Colt Town. My name is Bob." Bob introduced himself.
"Hey, Longlong, I'm Curry." Curry also joked.
"Hey, I am your master, my name is Wood." Wood said happily. After saying that, the three of them laughed happily. The three of them had a happy meal. Here, Wood celebrated his most unforgettable tenth birthday.
By the time Wood returned, it was already dark, but the two families were not far away, just two streets away. Therefore, Wood, who was used to the darkness, insisted on going home by himself and not giving it to him.
On the way, Wood always felt someone behind him and felt he was being peeped. But when Wood turned his head suddenly, he found that there was nothing there. Wood was walking while imitating birds. After a while, many bats flew quietly behind him. In the dark night, the black bats did not attract others' attention.
After a while, a bat landed on Wood's shoulder and flew away in a short while. A smile appeared on Wood's face, and his voice changed skillfully, from a crisp bird cry to a rhythmic cry. It sounded like a pleasant whistle sound, but this sound had another meaning for the animals here.
Soon, there were already many small animals around Wood. There were many cold-resistant small animals living in Colt Town. These animals were very good friends with Wood. When they heard Wood's call, they naturally rushed over from all directions.
These animals had strong night vision abilities, and they soon discovered the small figure sneakingly following Wood. Without Wood's instructions, these little animals rushed up and surrounded the figure following Wood.
"Oh, don't hurt me, please don't hurt me." An extremely sharp voice sounded, and the small figure was filled with small animals. Some had opened their mouths to bite, while others were constantly tearing his clothes with their sharp claws. Some left a very fresh mark on his head. The other party felt that his shoes had been taken off at some point in panic, and they were so anxious that they screamed.
