"You are different from other people," Wang Mingbao said. "You were like an ascetic monk on the hill."
"You don't understand. It was good like that," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Anyway, I couldn't stand it. Not even for a day."
When Wang Yao left Wang Mingbao's house, it was already past 2 pm. It was still snowing outside, but it was much lighter.
He stepped on the snow and went up the hill. He admired the snow as he walked.
He walked slowly. It was quiet all around. Only the crunching sound of his feet could be heard.
Caw! A bird chirped.
Wang Yao looked up and saw an eagle flying in the snow. It rushed to the sky.
Huh?
Wang Yao sighed.
He could see that the eagle circling in the snow was the one that was injured a few days ago.
He didn't expect that it could return to the sky so soon.
The eagle seemed to have noticed Wang Yao. It swooped down and stopped at a lower altitude. It circled above his head a few times. Then, it spread its wings and flew away.
Goodbye. Come back to see me when you have time.
Wang Yao shouted at the sky. He didn't care if the eagle understood him or not.
Woof! Woof! Woof! San Xian's barking came from the hill. It seemed to be saying goodbye to its friend.
When Wang Yao came to the cottage, San Xian was still staring at the sky. It seemed to be lonely.
Wang Yao walked up and stroked it gently.
"You are too lonely. Do you want to find a companion?"
San Xian looked back at Wang Yao. Then, it turned around and went into its nest. It lay there quietly.
It was very sad.
Wang Yao stayed outside with it for a while. Then, he went back into the cottage.
It was still snowing outside. It was a little cold in the cottage. He made a cup of black tea and picked up a Taoist scripture to read.
Perhaps it was because of the snow, the sky outside turned dark very early. Wang Yao originally didn't want to go home for dinner, but he received a call from his mother, asking him to go home for dinner.
When he went down the mountain, the snowflakes fell very slowly and very little. When he reached the door of his house, the snow had completely stopped, but the wind was blowing. It was exceptionally cold, and it hurt a little when it cut his face.
"Are we still going up the mountain tonight?" Zhang Xiuying asked during dinner.
"Yes, let's go up."
"It's so cold. There's nothing to warm them up. How can they stand it? Besides, no one will go there on such a cold day. Don't go there tonight." Zhang Xiuying dissuaded her.
"It's okay, Mom. I'm used to it!"
Zhang Xiuying tried to persuade him for a while, but seeing that Wang Yao was so determined, she didn't try to persuade him anymore.
It was even colder at night on the mountain. Wang Yao was already used to it. He lay in the thick quilt. Moreover, he had an extraordinary physique, so he didn't feel very cold. The night passed quickly.
The next morning, as soon as Wang Yao went out, he heard a chirping sound coming from the sky. He looked up and saw that the goshawk that had flown away the day before had returned and landed on the thickest tree.
Woof! Woof! Woof! San Xian, who was lying in the kennel, heard the chirp and rushed out, barking excitedly.
After the goshawk flew back, it didn't leave the tree except for looking for food.
"It seems that you are going to settle down here!" Wang Yao said with a smile.
The goshawk on the tree flapped its wings a few times as a response.
"Welcome, warmly welcome!"
Wang Yao was very happy. He and San Xian finally had a companion who could fly.
On the third day after it snowed, there was one more car in the village. Tian Yuantu stopped the car at the entrance of the village and went up the mountain with a few boxes.
The mountain wind was very cold. Although he wore a lot of clothes, he still shivered from time to time.
After going around a mountain, he looked up and saw the cottage not far ahead. It was halfway up the mountain. He sighed.
"It's so cold, but he can still stay on the mountain. He is really not an ordinary person!"
After he went up the mountain, he met Wang Yao in the cottage.
There was no heating in the cottage.
The black tea in the hot water soon cooled down. It was too cold to drink.
"This is the medical record of my friend's mother. Take a look."
Tian Yuantu brought some gifts for Wang Yao. In addition, he also brought the medical record of the patient he mentioned to Wang Yao last time.
"Let me have a look. I'll give you an answer as soon as possible." Wang Yao took the medical record and glanced at it, then put it aside.
"Okay, I hope you can get back to me as soon as possible," Tian Yuantu said.
"No problem. Thank you for what you did last time."
"Haha." Tian Yuantu waved his hand with a smile.
He helped Wang Yao because Wang Yao was worthy of his help. Moreover, it was not a difficult thing for him to do. It was just a matter of saying a few words. If he could make Wang Yao owe him a favor, why not?
"You are so poor. You don't have a TV, a computer, and only a few scriptures." Tian Yuantu looked around the cottage.
"There is a dog and an eagle outside," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Eagle?" Tian Yuantu was shocked. "You have an eagle?"
"I didn't raise it. It just settled down here on the way."
"It is so cold, but you can stand it. I have to admire you!" Tian Yuantu sighed.
"I'll get used to it!"
Wang Yao said with a smile. In fact, he was not used to it at first. When he was in college, he could chat with his classmates in the dormitory at night when he had nothing to do. He could go to the library and surf the Internet. At home, he could sit with his family and chat with them. He could watch TV and surf the Internet. However, on this mountain, he was alone. Of course, he also had a mobile phone and surf the Internet. However, it was different from home and school. At first, he was not used to it. Then, he slowly adapted to it. Now, he faintly liked and enjoyed it. It was a process change.
Tian Yuantu could not change in a short time. At least, he could not stand the cold.
Therefore, he did not stay for long, only ten minutes.
The matter was explained and the things were delivered. He said goodbye and left.
Wang Yao did not want to accept the gifts he brought. However, Wang Yao was determined to keep them. He had no choice but to give up.
"There will be a result in three days," Wang Yao said.
"Okay, I will wait for your good news." Three days was not a long time.
After Tian Yuantu left the cottage, he glanced at the big tree next to the cottage. As Wang Yao said, there was an eagle standing on it.
A proud eagle.
It was staring at him.
"Every time I come, there is a surprise!" He sighed.
This kind of animal was rarely seen in the wild in this county town. Who would have thought that one would actually settle down here? One had to know that this was a place where people lived. Every kind of wild animal would have an almost natural rejection and hostility towards humans.
