A mountain lodge is built on the grass in the forest.
Although it was built almost entirely with bare wood, it was built quite sturdy. The circular wood that is carefully spliced has been laid on the ground steps.
In the room, wide wooden boards surrounded by a square fire. Pictures of all kinds of animals are everywhere on the walls of the ground, which are usually laid in circles.
The oil light hanging under the ceiling emits a faint glow that shines on the entire room. (Ryou, your eyes are not broken ~~~ Admire ......)
Sitting on the fabric lay on the ground by the side of the stove, Liao is adding firewood to the fire in a pure action.
Bai Yan, who was lying on the side, moved slightly and looked at the beating flames leisurely.
Just as usual, Liao's father is traveling photography outside China. Such a person's life has lasted for nearly two years.
Although I have lived in the mountains far away from my father since I was a child, Liao never felt any inconvenience.
It is because, around him, it is the life-filled nature.
Liao's father, a photographer from the past, has been chasing the traces of the person to be photographed and traveled around the world.
Traveling for work often won't come back for a year or a half.
When Liao was a child and didn't need to go to school, he and his father traveled across the mountains and fields in Japan.
After I went to school, I also traveled in nature together with my father at a suitable time such as summer vacation.
It is also possible to say that such a life has started since childhood and has created a strong physique in Liao.
Liao looked at the picture hanging on the wall.
In the photo, on the mountain hill in the distance, a four-legged animal figure was taken, almost just a little small.
This is probably taken from the camera. I can't see anything except the outline.
However, Liao can recognize at a glance what this four-legged beast is.
Bai Yan.
This is a photo taken by Liao's father about a decade ago.
In the face of this sudden appearance in the camera, it should not be in the shape of a Japanese white tiger. He forgot to take a photo of it.
Since then, Liao's father has never forgotten this fantastic white tiger.
In fact, in the same day, Liao met this white tiger earlier than his father.
At that time, Liao was 4 years old. I am still in the dark of fear.
I almost don't understand the meaning of my father's work, but I think everything I see is precious.
For the young Liao, its world is full of adventure.
Now, I leave from my father buried in photography. Liao found a young bird falling from the nest in the grass higher than himself.
At that time, although Liao was still a child, he also had the justice he wanted to guard.
However, the young birds do not understand this idea.
Desperately trying to escape from this unknown guy who is close to it, the young bird flags on the ground with wings that cannot fly.
"Don't run. I am here to save you ."
On the other hand, Liao does not understand the mood of the young birds.
As a result, Liao forced the young birds to the edge of the cliff. The young birds throw their wings sadly and fall down the cliff.
Although it is a cliff, it is not the kind of cliff with dozens of meters and hundreds of meters high. In fact, it is only about two or three meters of height.
However, it is still very bad for Liao, who did not know whether there was a high altitude.
For a moment, in the heart of Liao, it is precisely the identity of the young birds who have fallen down the cliff and who have left this innocent life in despair, the unspeakable self-blame emerged.
However, at that time, there was a huge white body in front of Liao's eyes, which swallowed down the fallen chicks into the huge mouth.
"The chicks have been eaten !!"
Then, act in accordance with your own "justice.
Grabbed a wooden stick under his feet, and Liao jumped desperately toward the demon under the cliff.
"Bastard !! Return the bird to me !"
The white devil easily avoided the desperate attacks of Liao, staring at the small soldiers with an incredible look.
Without looking at the bruises on his face, Liao raised a wooden rod almost as big as his body and challenged the demon.
The demon seems to have been overwhelmed by the air, and lost the meaning of the war, with the body under the eyes of this little hero of justice. Then he unexpectedly raised his forefoot and stood in the palm of his hand on the forehead of Liao, which was facing it again.
"Ah ......!!"
The huge cheek of the white devil came to the eyes of Liao and opened his mouth.
"Beep !"
The young bird is now staying on its tongue, as if to use it as a cushion.
"Ah --!?"
As you can imagine, the chicks should have been swallowed up by demons. Liao was stunned at the scene.
However, the white devil does not mind such a thing. It handed the young bird into the palm of Liao, and started his shirt, letting him ride on his own back.
"Wow! Wow, haha !!"
Liao, who holds the young bird, cannot conceal his surprise and joy.
At that time, Liao finally realized that the White demon was the first white tiger he saw.
"It's white tiger !! Great !!"
The White Tiger pays tribute to the courage of this little warrior. It allows Liao to sit on its back and start walking around.
The White Tiger's back, which is much wider than his father's back, is shaking his body. Liao's heart has an incredible feeling of pride or shame.
Surprised by the sudden emergence of a huge creature, the hare and the birds escaped from the grass.
At this point, Bai Hu slowly stopped.
The little animals who were still scared to escape saw the white tigers. The Vigilance relaxed and they no longer escaped.
This white tiger, a beast, does not fear small animals.
I don't know when, Liao has come to the place where young birds are found. The white tiger jumped onto a branch. The branches seem to be unable to bear the huge weight of the body, bent over, but somehow they have not broken.
The nest of young birds is placed at the root of the branches.
Liao nodded and reached out and gently put the young bird back into the nest.
Bai Hu jumped down again and fell to the ground silently.
At this moment, the host of the Bird's Nest flew from the nearby treetops to the side of the child who had made an adventure.
Bai Hu saw this scene not far away. He gently put the Liao on his back and slowly turned and left.
"Ah ...... Mr. Bai Hu ......"
Liao cried.
White Tigers slowly turned around.
"…… Thank you ...... Thank you ...... Can I play together ?"
White Tigers quietly stood there for a while, and turned around again, slowly disappeared into the depths of the grass.
Liao's father did not know that his son had such an incredible experience.
My father, who was immersed in photography, was just worried about Liao, where he went.
Liao just replied that it would just put the young birds from the nest back. His father smiled and touched Liao's head.
Somehow, Liao did not tell his father about the incredible White Tiger.
If I tell my father who has been tracking the footprints of animals, I will be surprised and happy ......
But why? I don't think anyone can say this to anyone ......
For the first time in his life, Liao had a secret that he knew.
On that day, on the top of the hill, both of them saw the white tigers standing on the distant mountain hill.
My father was so excited that he kept pressing the shutter of the camera.
Liao also looked at the white tigers in the distance with a heavy dual-tube telescope.
"That's the white tiger ......"
Liao is so confident.
I don't know why, he thinks this kind of body is exactly the embodiment of the so-called nature landscape ......
After that, his father walked around the mountain for the fantastic white tiger.
However, for some reason, he has never seen a white tiger.
But what is incredible is that since then, Liao and Bai Hu have met again several times.
These are what happened when he left his father alone.
When he lost his father, Bai Hu appeared and brought him back to his father's vicinity.
When he challenges the Cliff alone and falls behind his feet, the White Tiger will show up at the flat of the rock wall and hold the ropes on him with his strong teeth.
When he is trapped in the Sand Island in the river, Bai Hu will jump to his side with incredible jumps and carry him to the bank.
Whenever Liao wants to challenge nature, he can always experience the power of nature.
Among them, Liao has also realized the hardships of human existence and the dignity of life.
For Liao, this white tiger is not only a benefactor who saves his life several times, but also a teacher who teaches the greatness of his life.
Liao's eyes left the photo of Bai Yan.
Today, this white tiger is sleeping beside him.
This is incredible ......
Is all this the will of Genji ...... No, that day, the day when he first saw Ji xiongji, he said:
"Bai Yan is very fond of you ......"
