Northern, Snow City?
Cheng Xiaofan looked at these words and felt very curious. How could someone call him from such a distant place?
He remembered that when he was studying in Beijing, he had a few classmates from Snow City.
Could it be their prank?
No, he didn't have a mobile phone back then.
He thought of countless possibilities, but each one was refuted by impossibility!
In the end, he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it!
Time to sleep!
After an unknown period, in his dream, Cheng Xiaofan once again transformed into a golden dragon.
However, this time, he did not ascend to the heavens or roam the earth, but lay quietly on the mountainside behind the back mountain.
The surroundings were silent.
The starlight illuminated him.
Spiritual energy gathered between heaven and earth, like a thin mist, slowly drifting over and covering Cheng Xiaofan.
Instantly, that spiritual energy was absorbed into Cheng Xiaofan's body.
At this moment, a faint golden dragon emerged from Cheng Xiaofan's body, radiating golden light, and a red mist permeated the surroundings.
Swish swish swish...
From the dense forests of the deep mountains, various animals with a certain degree of spirituality converged here like a tide.
When they arrived at the mountainside, they all lowered their forelegs and knelt before Cheng Xiaofan.
If anyone else saw this scene, they would be utterly shocked.
Only after the golden dragon disappeared into Cheng Xiaofan's body did the animals quietly return to the forest.
...
Jingle jingle!
Cheng Xiaofan opened his eyes to the sound of his phone's alarm.
He glanced at his phone. It was his mother calling.
"Mom, why are you calling so early?" Cheng Xiaofan asked, rubbing his eyes.
Miao Xiuhua said loudly, "I say, Xiaofan, are you lying with your eyes closed? Open your eyes and see what time it is?"
Cheng Xiaofan then noticed the time on his phone: it was already 9:30.
At this time, Bai Yiling had probably already had breakfast and rushed to the construction site.
"Mom, is there anything?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Miao Xiuhua said angrily, "Director Dao is bringing some people to present a banner, and you still play dumb. Hurry back!"
Slap!
Miao Xiuhua hung up the phone.
Cheng Xiaofan knew his mother was really angry!
He dared not delay. He rolled out of bed, washed up quickly, and ran down from the attic.
"Taoxi bao!"
Cheng Xiaofan called out several times, but received no response from Taoxi bao.
Luo Yang and Feng Xigua were digging new land with their rakes.
Hearing Cheng Xiaofan's shouts, Luo Yang chuckled, "Xiaofan, when Feng Xigua and I came, we saw Taoxi bao heading back on the way!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan was speechless.
This dog must have been too excited to sleep all night, just waiting to receive the banner and bonus today.
"Brother Luo, Brother Feng, you guys carry on. I have something at home. I'll be leaving now!" Cheng Xiaofan greeted the two, rode his motorcycle down the slope, and sped towards the village.
Before he reached home, he saw a crowd of onlookers gathered from afar.
Actually, Cheng Xiaofan felt that this matter didn't require his presence, but since his mother had called, he couldn't refuse.
When he arrived home, Cheng Xiaofan found that Luo Changsheng, Mei Xueyun, and Tang Guihua were already there.
"Xiaofan, you're back!"
Dao Dahai was sitting by the table drinking tea. Seeing Cheng Xiaofan, he immediately walked over.
He pointed to some villagers next to him and said, "These are representatives of the farmers whose cattle were stolen. They are here to present a banner to Taoxi bao!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded at the villagers and smiled, "You are too kind!"
One of the villagers immediately said, "Taoxi bao helped us catch the cattle thief. We should be grateful. This is what we should do!"
At this time, Dao Dahai said with a smile, "It's getting late. Let's have a simple ceremony. Xiaofan, please bring Taoxi bao out!"
"Mom, where is Taoxi bao?" Cheng Xiaofan scanned the surroundings and asked.
Miao Xiuhua glared at her son and said, "Isn't Taoxi bao always following you? Why are you asking me for Taoxi bao?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I heard Luo Yang say that Taoxi bao came back early this morning. Why isn't he here?"
As they were talking, someone outside said, "Taoxi bao is back! So imposing!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan rushed outside.
He saw four large yellow dogs carrying a bamboo basket, walking upright like humans. Taoxi bao was sitting in the basket with his legs crossed, his head held high, looking like a canine lord.
Another dozens of dogs followed behind in a neat formation, walking with an arrogant stride.
Seeing the scene before him, Cheng Xiaofan was so amused he almost laughed out loud.
This dog really knew how to show off.
It had gathered all the dogs in the village to support it.
Where did it learn this trick?
Dao Dahai and the others were stunned by the scene!
This Taoxi bao had become sentient!
Some people quickly took out their phones to capture the moment.
"Woof woof!"
Upon reaching the doorway, Taoxi bao leaped out of the basket.
The dogs immediately retreated to the side and sat down in an orderly manner, waiting for their canine king's award ceremony to begin.
"Taoxi bao, come here quickly, let me put this big red flower on you!"
Miao Xiuhua held a large red flower and beckoned to Taoxi bao.
Taoxi bao immediately wagged its tail like a propeller and ran over happily.
Miao Xiuhua tied the red flower around its neck.
Then, Luo Changsheng brought a long bench and placed it outside the main entrance.
Without anyone's instruction, Taoxi bao knew it was for him. He leaped onto the bench, his head held high, ready to receive the award.
"To commend the heroic Taoxi bao for catching the thief, the award ceremony begins!"
Luo Changsheng, who was temporarily appointed as the announcer, immediately declared loudly.
Crackling!
Firecrackers exploded, and gongs and horns sounded.
"Woof woof!"
Taoxi bao, excited, barked twice and then did a backflip.
"Woof woof!"
"Woof woof!"
"Woof woof!"
The dogs crouching far away on the ground, to support Taoxi bao, also barked twice and collectively performed a backflip.
Everyone present was dumbfounded!
The aura of this dog was unprecedented!
At this time, Dao Dahai said a few fitting words to Taoxi bao and presented him with a large red banner from the police station.
The banner was inscribed with five golden characters: Hero Taoxi bao!
He also presented two thousand yuan.
Cheng Xiaofan accepted the banner and the money on behalf of Taoxi bao.
"Woof woof!"
Taoxi bao stared at the money in Cheng Xiaofan's hand with some anxiety. These were the funds for my drinks. Don't you pocket them for yourself!
Your character is questionable!
I, the canine lord, truly don't trust you with this money!
Just as Taoxi bao was hesitating whether to take the money back from its owner, the representatives of the villagers came forward again and presented Taoxi bao with another banner.
It read: A banner to a hero, great love spreads afar!
Immediately, the villagers' representatives carried a basket of fresh pork ribs, a basket of live chickens and ducks, and a basket of fruits and pastries from the car.
They said these were for the hero to eat.
"Woof woof!"
Taoxi bao's eyes immediately lit up.
It was truly worth being a hero like this!
I'll catch a few more thieves next time!
"Director Dao, please explain to me, we can't accept these things!"
Seeing the items before her, Miao Xiuhua said to Dao Dahai with some hesitation.
Dao Dahai shook his head and smiled, "Sister Xiuhua, they brought them as a token of their appreciation. If you don't accept them, they won't take them back!"
"Then, let's all stay for lunch. We'll have pork rib soup!" With so many ribs and nowhere to store them, Miao Xiuhua could only arrange this.
"Woof woof!"
Upon hearing this, Taoxi bao immediately became agitated!
These were meant for the hero to eat. Is it appropriate for you to snatch food from the hero?
