After Yuan Ning left with his two little friends, Du Jiancheng called Principal Fei and told him exactly what happened just now.Du Jiancheng is a person with ideals and determination, and he definitely has the energy that others can't use when asked him to do something.But it’s not enough to drill hard, you have to have a direction. Du Chengcheng has always kept in touch with Principal Fei, and he will talk to Principal Fei when he encounters doubts.

Du Jiancheng asked a little worriedly: "Little junior brother, does he think that I am very useless?"

Principal Fei said: "Nothing." He laughed, "He let you choose, precisely because he has expectations for you. You seem to have a tact and intelligence that is not in line with your peers. In fact, he draws a very clear boundary line in his heart. For those outside the boundary line, he is not demanding, and he is even very tolerant, even if the other party does something beyond his acceptable range, he will understand; but For those within the boundaries, he hopes that the other party has the same ideals as himself, and hopes that the other party will work hard in the same direction as himself. He lets you choose, indicating that he hopes you can walk with him all the way, and this choice is up to you Come and do it, it can’t be him who chooses for you.”

I hope to find like-minded fellow travelers, and hope that the other party can walk side by side with me without hesitation——

This kind of thinking seems a bit naive to older people, but maybe this kind of naivety is what this era needs?

After hearing this, Du Jiancheng was silent for a while, nodded and said, "I understand." Who doesn't have such an idea?In the beginning, everyone has something. They stepped into the society full of enthusiasm and wanted to display their ambitions. No one wanted the path they chose to walk more and more lonely.

Yuan Ning didn't know about Du Jiancheng's conversation with Principal Fei.He is heading to a new pasture with his friends.Hao Xiaolan has never been to Changcang, and her impression of Changcang is that "the sky is blue, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low." Only after seeing it with her own eyes did she know that some grasslands are really taller than half a person, and the cattle and sheep hide inside. It's really "low wind and grass low".

Hao Xiaolan's eyes sparkled, and she felt that everything was fresh: "The pasture here grows much taller than ours!"

Song Xingchen was still thinking about what Yuan Ning and Du Jiancheng had said, and then interjected after hearing Hao Xiaolan sticking to the car window with emotion: "Because the climate here is not as good as ours, so they have to grow stronger to survive here. We survived, and the weaker ones were eliminated. Moreover, there are not many woody plants here, and there is a whole piece of grassland everywhere, and the grass naturally grows taller."

Yuan Ning nodded: "That's right." In each place, only the flowers, plants and trees that have adapted to the local climate can survive, and most of the ones that cannot adapt are eliminated.It is the same with people, if they fall behind, they will be beaten. If they cannot keep up with the pace of the times, they will be submerged in the turbulent tide of the times, and become tiny froth that will soon dissipate under the sun.

Yuan Ning also looked out the window, with the green field reflected in his eyes, which made his usual bright eyes a little more complicated.

Hao Xiaolan and Song Xingchen looked at each other, and they both felt Yuan Ning's abnormality during this time.Yuan Ning is still happy in front of them, but they grew up together!No matter how small the change is, no matter how small the anxiety is, they can feel it.

Hao Xiaolan said, "Ning Ning, I used to think that only Song Xingchen would follow your eldest brother." After all, Yuan Ning, like her, would never want to be restrained, and always dragged Song Xingchen to do things that Song Xingchen would not do in the first place. Yes, some silly things in the eyes of others.

Yuan Ning suddenly realized that his mind was distracted, and turned to look at Hao Xiaolan and Song Xingchen who were concerned.

Yuan Ning and his two childhood best friends looked at each other, and said slowly: "I'm fine. I just thought of something accidentally." He paused, "My idea was very simple before, as long as I follow my elder brother, it's fine. Nothing to worry about."

Song Xingchen stared at Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning said: "But now I find that it is not so easy. Some things you want to take care of when you see them, but to take care of them, you have to have the ability, capital, and connections—you can't rely on others every time."

Song Xingchen was silent.

He also had contact with many things in advance under the arrangement of his family, and he knew that what Yuan Ning said was true.Yuan Ning is still good, there is no need to consider the position of the family at all, and as the third generation who is the most valued in the family, he represents the Song family in every word and deed, and has to be weighed again and again every time he makes a decision.This is just the beginning, what will happen next?

If one day the position of the Song family is opposite to that of Yuan Ning, as the third generation heir of the Song family, will he be on the side of the family or on the side of Yuan Ning?

Hao Xiaolan felt the car suddenly quiet down.She is usually very lively, but she is actually a sensitive girl, how can she not detect what is hidden in this silence.Together, they became half-adults from childhood, and passed the threshold of "adults" together from half-adults. Growth brought not only maturity and reason, but also anxiety and hesitation that passed through their hearts from time to time.

Hao Xiaolan couldn't stand such an atmosphere, even if she just thought about the possibility of the three of them parting ways, she would be so sad that she would cry.She grabbed Yuan Ning and Song Xingchen's hands and said firmly: "No matter what happens, we will not change!"

There was a warm light in Yuan Ning's eyes: "Yes, it won't change."

Song Xingchen also said "hmm".Even if they have differences in the future, they can sit down and have a good talk. At that time, either Yuan Ning will persuade him, or he will persuade Yuan Ning. The two of them seek common ground while reserving differences and combine their ideas, maybe they can go more steadily.

After all, they were still seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys. After expressing their determination, the three of them talked happily again, forgetting the sudden heaviness just now.The ranch is not too far from the provincial capital, about half an hour's drive away.Hao Xiaolan let out a wow when he saw the boundless pasture, and opened his eyes wide in shock: "Is this several times bigger than Yunshan?"

Yuan Ning nodded: "If you don't count the forest side, Yunshan is indeed much smaller. After all, there are horse races here."

Hao Xiaolan said, "Didn't Yunshan also raise horses?"

Song Xingchen was well-informed and explained: "The horses here are bred for competitions. The horse racing festival here in Changcang is about to start?"

"It's just a matter of these few days, but the horse race will continue throughout the summer, and the most powerful horse will not be selected until the end of the summer." Yuan Ning said, "Now Luo Ge has just taken over this ranch, although there are ready-made horses and ready-made horses. Jockey, but there is still not much hope of winning the first place, Luo Ge is thinking about how to breed more powerful racehorses recently!"

Then the rancher's children came home from school and ran back to the ranch happily.An older, plump woman served them delicious mare's milk, carefully processed and sour.The children gurgled and drank, and then pestered Nuo Min to ride a horse. Nuo Min had a hot temper, but was very patient with the children, leading a group of children to walk around in the pasture.

Hao Xiaolan's eyes were burning with excitement, but Yuan Ning stuffed him with a bowl of mare's milk.

Song Xingchen received the same treatment.

The old woman who was in charge of making mare's milk watched with a smile as the three children from outside drank up the mare's milk one gulp at a time. They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. This was the life of the ranch.The things to do are almost the same every day, but these children become different every day.She has no children of her own, and she doesn't have too many grand thoughts and thoughts. She feels very happy to see someone likes to drink the mare's milk she made.

Hearing Hao Xiaolan ask why the mare’s milk in the ranch is so delicious, the old woman told Hao Xiaolan in detail how to squeeze the mare’s milk from the best mares into clean and beautiful wooden buckets, how to put the mare’s milk in After removing the bad things, how to make it more delicate and delicious.

The three of Yuan Ning listened with gusto.

It was near lunch time that Nuo Min came back with the children.Nuo Min hurried over and shouted to Yuan Ning and the three who were introducing the horses: "Grandpa, we found an eagle, a wounded eagle, it fell on the other side of the water, covered in blood, and dying Lost!"

Yuan Ning was taken aback, and immediately went to find Ai Yan.Ai Yan learned that Nuo Min had found the eagle, and immediately packed up the medicine box and followed.

It was indeed a very powerful falcon, larger than the average eagle, and its vigilant appearance was obviously fierce. If someone came forward, it might be caught by its throat.

Others are afraid, but Ai Yan is not.He tried to walk in the direction of Falcon.

Falcon instantly pricked up his feathers, stared at Ai Yan vigilantly, and completely entered the fighting state.

Yuan Ning noticed the bloody wound on the Falcon's wing, and when he met the golden pupils, he suddenly felt the strong hostility and hatred on the other side.Yuan Ning frowned, and stepped forward to hold Ai Yan: "Don't go up yet!"

Ai Yan looked at Yuan Ning in surprise.

Yuan Ning tried to communicate with Falcon, but did not get a response from the other party.Yuan Ning explained: "It is extremely hostile to you, but it is not like that to me and Nuo Min." He turned to Falcon and communicated with the other party silently, "We have no malicious intentions, just want to help you see Look at the wound. The man next to me is a veterinarian and he knows how to treat you."

Most of the hostility on Falcon's body dissipated, and he stared at Yuan Ning with his golden pupils, as if thinking whether Yuan Ning was lying or not.It can feel that Yuan Ning is a friendly and peaceful person, and there is an aura about him that makes it feel kind.Thinking that he was about to die due to excessive blood loss or unable to soar in the sky because of his right wing, Falcon suppressed his hostility and stood quietly where he was.

Ai Yan felt a little strange, he glanced at Yuan Ning, without saying anything, stepped forward and brought Falcon back to his residence.After a simple inspection, Ai Yan vaguely understood why the falcon had such deep hostility towards him: "It's a bullet."

There are outsiders, Ai Yan did not go into more detail.This eagle was unusual, which meant that the person who shot him was also extremely unusual. He probably had received special training like him and the boss of the Han family, and had received the baptism of real blood.

Ai Yan wanted to treat Falcon's wounds. The old horse breeder drove out all the onlookers, and told Yuan Ning and the other three about his own judgment: "This eagle should have been domesticated. It's just that it wasn't completely tamed when it was boiled." Get rid of its wildness, but make it hate, and when it grows up, it will retaliate against the person who tamed it. Probably something bad happened to it, so it was 'handled' by people."

Yuan Ning had heard about the custom of training hawks in Changcang, and never doubted what the old horse breeder said.He asked curiously, "Have you raised eagles before?"

There was a sigh in the old horse breeder's expression, and he did not deny Yuan Ning's words: "I have raised one. I have raised one. It is a good hunter and has helped me win many times. Later, I slowly watched its eyes turn red. , watched its beak and claws degenerate, and finally watched it die. It spent its whole life to accompany me," the old horse breeder looked at the blue sky, "I know how much it loves freedom and the sky, but Every time it flies out, it will fly back on time until it can no longer fly.”

Yuan Ning said: "That is really a good partner."

The old horseman said, "Of course. I haven't had any more eagles since he's gone."

The arrival of the falcon made the ranch a little more noisy.Yuan Ning played with Hao Xiaolan and the others until the evening before returning to his room to sort out the report to be handed over to the capital.

The focus of this report is not just to expose the fact, but to make some recommendations based on that fact.After confirming the situation in Changcang, Yuan Ning asked reporter Zhao to investigate in places with similar factories in other provinces, and the results were reported to Yuan Ning one after another in the past two months.

So the center of this report is not to expose anything, but to throw a bomb directly——
