Those naive and innocent years on the road of life

  "Hey, it seems like you're leading me down the mountain, but I think the person I'm looking for should be on the mountain." Tian Tian followed behind Lang, kicking away a small stone at her feet.

  She had been following the wolf for two hours, and the sky was slightly brightening, with the morning star hanging on the horizon, guiding her direction. She was no longer afraid of the wolf, and even when it slowed down, she gently stroked its fur, and it seemed to be enjoying such kindness as well.

  The wolf tilted its ear slightly and continued to move slowly towards the place it wanted to go, wagging its tail. Tian Tian suddenly felt that it was actually very cute. "Are you a male wolf or a female wolf?" Tian Tian couldn't help but ask.

  Who would have thought that the wolf let out a loud "howl", its voice thick and high-pitched, its head raised upwards, standing upright with an attitude of dominance over the world.

  "Alright, I get it." Tian Tian replied with a smile, "I'll call you Ah Hui then. After all, your fur is also gray, which suits your characteristics."

  The wolf let out a snort and accepted the new name given by this strange girl.

  "A Hui, do you have a girlfriend?" Tian Tian asked A Hui in a series of questions.

  It wasn't expected that Ah Hui's eyes suddenly dimmed a bit, he lowered his head and didn't respond to Tian Tian's question, walking silently.

  The sweet potato slumped its shoulders, it seemed unhappy, had it touched its wound? But in her eyes, Ahui was already one of the more handsome wolves, there shouldn't be a female wolf who didn't like him, could it be... She heard that on this mountain someone had hunted and killed wolves before, the wolf pack had been captured and killed until almost none were left, she sighed, but also didn't say anything else.

  Just as Tian Tian was in a daze, a wild rabbit suddenly darted past her eyes and disappeared into the thicket in an instant.

  But Ah Hui seemed to have seen the wild rabbit too, and with a "whoosh" he pounced on it. However, in this mountainous area, there were many trees and bushes, and the rabbit was small, agile, and extremely fast. Before long, Ah Hui walked back with his head hung low in dejection.

  "Alright, Ah Hui," Tian Tian patted its head, "I'll help you catch it to repay your guidance." Saying that, Tian Tian walked a short distance away and dug up several wild carrots. Earlier when she passed by that place, she noticed some grass growing extremely similar to radish sprouts, unexpectedly they were indeed carrots. This rabbit must have come out foraging. Moreover, she saw many signs of wild rabbits' activities nearby, its burrow should be around here. Tian Tian placed the carrots separately in the surrounding bushes and said, "Ah Hui, let's 'guard the tree stump to catch the rabbit'."

  Tian Tian and A Hui hid behind a large tree, waiting for the wild rabbit to take the bait. Before long, they heard a faint rustling sound in the wild grass. Tian Tian gripped the dagger in her hand tightly, staring intently at the spot where the sound was coming from.

  Ahui lay on the ground, placing his head on his front paws, staring motionlessly at that place. The wild rabbit crawled with its three mouths, slowly hopping over. Tian Tian narrowed her eyes, aiming at a specific position, and the dagger "swished" into the rabbit's hind leg. Before she could react, Ahui quickly sprang up, swiftly and accurately biting out the wild rabbit's throat. In an instant, a bloody smell wafted through the air. Tian Tian watched with satisfaction as Ahui wolfed down its breakfast, then leaned against a large tree, closed her eyes, and dozed off for a while.

  When she woke up again, Ahui was licking her face. She gently pushed away Ahui's head and said, "Hey, don't lick me with your tongue that just ate meat..."

  Ah Hui nuzzled her head against hers, his eyes filled with gratitude.

  "Let's continue on our way." Tian Tian walked forward, bent down to pick up the dagger, inserted it into the scabbard, and put it in her pocket, saying to Ah Hui.

  One wolf began to rush again, the sun at this time once again covered the entire continent of Shenzhou with great majesty, and the mountains were no exception. The morning sunlight was orange-red, warm and gentle.

  The birds flew out of their nests, chirping to greet the arrival of a new day. The entire Tongling Mountain was filled with vitality. Tian Tian tucked her messy hair behind her ears and wiped the sweat from her face.

  She trudged on, propping up her hungry and tired body, the water bottle was empty, she licked her dry lips, pulled the backpack strap onto her shoulder, maybe she would die in the mountains, this thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

  Yes, if there was no supply of water and food before finding Tian Cheng, it is very likely that she would die in this mountain. She was startled by her own thoughts and must find some water, otherwise, she could not hold on for long. There should be streams or springs in the mountains.

  "A Hui, do you know where there is water?" she asked without any hope, completely talking to herself.

  Unexpectedly, Ah Hui let out a loud "wow" and then quickened his pace in one direction. Tian Tian saw it suddenly running and also accelerated to follow behind it.

  Gradually, Tian Tian felt that the land under her feet was getting wetter and softer to tread on, with the grass and trees becoming increasingly lush. She couldn't help but feel delighted, as these signs indicated that they were getting closer to a water source.

  Later, she almost heard the sound of the river gurgling, and she quickly ran over. It was a winding small stream with clear water flowing down the mountain. In this way, the road down the mountain was also easy to find.

  She squatted down, scooped up a handful of water, splashed it on her face, and suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated, as if the muscles and bones in her entire body had relaxed a lot. She also drank some sweet spring water, filled up her bottle, and sat down on a smooth stone to take a break.

  A Hui also drank a few mouthfuls of water not far from her, then lay down on the ground, closed his eyes, and gently wagged his tail, extremely comfortable. Anyway, clever A Hui knew that Tian Tian would not only not harm him but also hunt for him, so being with such a creature wasn't bad either. He naturally fell asleep peacefully.

  When Ahui woke up, he stretched his waist, opened his legs, yawned, and glanced at Tian Tian.

  "Awake?" Tian Tian hummed disdainfully.

  A Hui let out another "hmmph" sound, indicating that his hard work was worthy of a good sleep, and it was only natural to take a nap, with a hint of nonchalance in his eyes.

  "It's time to hit the road!" Tian Tian said, then patted her butt, stood up and was about to leave.

  Ahui also stood up, wagged its tail and continued to guide her way.

  "Tian Cheng!" Tian Tian was now full of energy, completely gone was her initial fatigue, she walked while shouting out Tian Cheng's name.

  "Ahh……" Ahui also learned from Tian Tian, taking two steps before tilting her head back and crying out.

  "Den!"

  "Ahhh..."

  "Den!"

  "Ahhh..."

  "......" Okay, Tian Tian was completely speechless towards the lovely Ah Hui.

  It was a breathtakingly beautiful scene, a young girl's slightly damp long hair draped over her shoulder, her slender arm with rolled-up sleeves white and delicate, walking step by step with a strong and powerful gait.

  Not far from her, a tall and majestic young wolf was pacing slowly with an air of dominance. Its fur was incredibly beautiful and smooth under the sunlight. You couldn't see its sharp and bright eyes like stars, or its extremely sensitive nose.

  Its huge paws trampled on the withered leaves and disheveled wild grass, making a dull sound. It guarded the girl like a god of war, unwilling to let anyone harm her. They walked in the desolate mountains, performing the most harmonious coexistence between humans and beasts.
