"Get out of here right now. If I look at you for one more second, I'll start to doubt how your mother and I could have given birth to someone as stupid as you."

Pei Mingzhi waved his hand unhappily.

Pei Guohua, however, seemed to have gotten used to his old man's disdain, and he responded with a righteous look on his face.

"Dad, what is there to doubt? My sister's family's Mr. Zhou and Teacher Zhou are both university professors. Mr. Zhou is much smarter than you and mom, right? Didn't he also give birth to someone like Teacher Zhou? I think Teacher Zhou is not as good as me! So, Dad, you should be content with what I can do."

Pei Mingzhi: ...

This kind of comparison sounds comforting, but Pei Mingzhi feels even more depressed. He doesn't need to make comparisons anymore.

"Dad, I'm going to my sister's house!"

"Go!"

"Sister, should I tell you about these leaders coming?"

"If you don't tell me, do you think Ayan doesn't know? Without Ayan's approval, these people can't enter the village at all. You just need to register and collect the milk powder."

"Hey, I get it, Dad!"

Pei Guohua was obedient and walked away with big strides.

On this side, Qin Hong's journey to the guesthouse was not so smooth.

After coming out of the village chief's house, Gain saw many children along the way.

Then these senior officials began to gasp and exclaim from time to time.

"Did you see that? The ball in the child's hand is... made of gold?"

Xie Huaimin doubted his eyes a little, rubbed them again and again, and asked hesitantly.

Chen Xiaodong also thought it looked like gold, but he also felt it was impossible. Who would use gold to make small balls for a group of children to play with?

"It looks like it, but it can't be gold!"

"Yeah, whose kid is so prodigal that he would play with a golden ball? Or, given everyone's family conditions nowadays, how could an ordinary family still have gold products?"

As they talked, they all felt that it was better to explain themselves.

But soon—

"So, is that a wolf, or a dog?"

Ding Shengli pointed at the pregnant female wolf walking slowly in the distance, his voice trembling.

"It should be a dog. She's pregnant. Her belly is so big, she must be about to give birth. If it was a wolf, how could it be walking around the village so openly?"

"But all its features are those of a wolf. I can tell the difference between a wolf and a dog!"

"That's not necessarily true. This place is close to Shennong Mountain. When you look up, you can see the peak of Shennong Mountain. There must be hunters in the village. It is common for the hunting dogs of the hunters to mate with the wolves in the mountains and give birth to wolfhounds with characteristics exactly like wolves."

"Well, Lao Ding, don't make a fuss. Look, the child even touched the female dog. If it was a wolf, have you ever seen a mother wolf with cubs being so close to people? Oh, look again, there is a collar around the female dog's neck. No, why does that collar look like it's made of gold?"

Xie Huaimin suspected that there was really something wrong with his eyes.

Why does everything seem to be made of gold?

Everyone followed his gaze and looked over there. Although they didn't say anything, they all felt in their hearts that the collar looked like it was made of gold.

If it were brass, it wouldn't be this shiny.

Even if it is really brass, it is outrageous because the price of copper is not low. Who would use such good brass to make a collar for their dog? Wouldn't it be too heavy and cumbersome when the dog is running?

This Peijia Village is really full of strange things!

"Secretary Qin, tell me, is that a dog or a wolf?"

At this time, several people always remembered that Qin Hong was walking beside them!

Didn’t the village chief Pei Mingzhi just say that Qin Hong is half a Peijia Villager, and there is no place in the village that he doesn’t know or is not familiar with?

Qin Hong was helpless, but he didn't want to lie to them. Since they had all seen it, he said, "You are not mistaken. It was a wolf."

Everyone:...

"Also, the hollow golden ball in the child's hand that you saw just now was not mistaken, it was made of gold. He must have secretly taken it out from home to play with it again. When his parents find out, they will probably leave again."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a sister-in-law wearing an apron and holding a vegetable spatula running over from a distance. She started yelling from a distance, "Goudan - are you itching again? Who told you to take out your treasure to play with? Huh?"

Hearing Goudan’s mother’s roar, all the children ran away.

Especially the one who was holding the golden autumn dog egg in his hand, he ran the fastest, "Run, my mom is coming!"

Then, by the time Goudan's mother ran to Qin Hong and the others, the children had already run away.

Goudan's mother was so angry that her chest was gasping for breath. Only then did she realize that the people around Qin Hong were all strangers.

It seems that there are guests in the village again.

Goudan's mother felt a little embarrassed, thinking that her attitude just now might have brought shame to Peijia Village. "Director Qin, we are showing guests around! What's there to be embarrassed about? I'm sorry to have embarrassed the guests. My Goudan is such a disobedient child——"

"It's okay, sister-in-law. If Goudan wants to play, let him play. Niuniu originally gave it to Goudan for them to play with anyway."

"Oh, that's what you say, but who would really be willing to take that big treasure out to play? Hey, Director Qin, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm still cooking on the stove!"

Having said that, Goudan’s mother turned around and chased in the direction where Goudan had just disappeared.

"This, she - just now -"

"That's Goudan's mom. The kid holding the golden ball just now is Goudan, one of Niuniu's good friends. The ball is a hollow box that Niuniu gave to Goudan to store snacks. Because it's round, it looks like a ball when closed. In order to show off, Goudan would always take the risk of being beaten by Goudan's mom and sneak it out to play with his friends. Don't be fooled by the way he plays with the ball crazily. He actually cherishes it and won't break it. Goudan's mom is just worrying too much."

Xie Huaimin: …

Ding Shengli: ...

Liu Xiangqian: …

Is this what they care about?

What they want to know is, why would children give each other such delicate and precious golden balls as gifts?

And what about the female wolf wearing a golden collar just now?

Just as I was thinking about it, I turned around and found that the female wolf was gone. I didn't know whether she disappeared when the child ran away, or she had already walked far away.

"Qin Hong, so this village, this village still raises wolves?"

"No!" Qin Hong shook his head. "They all go to the mountains to hunt by themselves, and only come to the village to spend the night occasionally."

"Them? Do you mean more than one?"

Xie Huaimin didn't want to move forward. What kind of village was this?

Qin Hong seemed to see their fear and worry, and hurriedly said, "Secretary Xie, don't be afraid. Peijia Village is different from other places. It's normal for you not to know much about it since it's your first time here. If you have the opportunity to come again in the future, you will know that it is normal to see wolves in the village."

Is it normal to see wolves in a village where people live?

Either Qin Hong, who said this, is crazy, or they are hallucinating!

No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with normal!
