“Sunny!”

Ning Fei squatted as he rubbed Sunny’s head. Sunny raised its head and shut its eyes, seemingly enjoying his touch.

“I don’t have food for you. I’ll feed you when I get back tonight.”

Ning Fei flashed it a grin, and Sunny acted as though it had understood. It turned around and trod away lightly.

Ning Fei glanced at his phone’s screen and realized that everyone seemed very interested in the dog.

So he explained, “The dog’s name is Sunny, and it has no owner. But everyone in the village knows it, and it has a very important status.

There is a huge difference between a city and a village. A dog is a pet in the city, and it needs to be leashed. But over here, a dog is more of a companion who lives with us. However, every family has a dog, and these dogs will inevitably give birth to many wild dogs. The villagers are very friendly towards the wild dogs even though they are not theirs. The villagers will also feed these wild dogs.”

“Sunny is rather special. Its father held the previous title of ‘King of the Dogs’. All the dogs in the village listened to Sunny’s father, and it had also protected the village. Once, there was a ferocious wolf that had entered one of the houses. There was a child alone inside. The King of the Dogs rushed in and battled with the wild wolf. So, it saved the child’s life although it sustained serious injuries too.”

“When Sunny was a puppy, it always shadowed its father. Now that its father has passed on, Sunny became the leader of the wild dogs in the village. It has no home and would usually roam around the vicinity. I wanted to adopt it, but it refused to step into the temple. Because of that, the other wild dogs would never step inside the temple either.”

As Ning Fei strolled leisurely, he chatted with the drone flying ahead of him.

All of his viewers were touched by the story.

‘Is there such an amazing dog in the village?’

‘Wow, I’ve always assumed that wild dogs were stupid.’

‘Excuse me, the commenter above me. Are you despising Chinese mongrels?’

‘Host, I’m sending you a rocket! Buy some food for Sunny!’

‘Me too! This gift is for Sunny!’

And true enough, many viewers had bestowed rewards.

At the sight of the rewards, Ning Fei was amused. After doing a broadcast for hours, he had received nothing much. Sunny had merely made a brief appearance, and it had since received so many gifts.

A dog was more valuable than a human!

Certainly, Ning Fei’s story had also touched the viewers’ hearts.

The city had too much noise and too many people. Thus, they were easily moved by simple stories like this.

Ning Fei talked about and introduced the surroundings as he walked for half an hour.

The mountain air was crisp and fresh, and the trees and grass were lush and green. Walking on the mountain path was a refreshing journey.

Viewers who were watching the broadcast felt relaxed and content.

Not long after that, the babbling sounds of the river sounded ahead. Ning Fei continued walking, and in no time, a wide river materialized before his eyes.

The river flowed downward from the mountain, and the riverbed and riverbank were both naturally formed. There was no trace of any modern structure. The water in the river flowed slowly. Several gigantic natural rocks in the river had been polished by the water until they became smooth.

The grass that lined the river was lush and green, and the entire scenery was like a painting.

‘Oh my god, this place is too beautiful!’

‘Where is this place? I want to go.’

‘It seems comfortable and relaxing, but I don’t think I would go!’

Everyone began to discuss again.

Ning Fei ambled to the river and spotted someone.

“Uncle Zhang, why are you so early?” Ning Fei waved with a warm smile. He placed his stool and his bucket on the grass and began to unpack his equipment.

“Ning Fei, you’re here to fish again? If you still can’t catch a fish after a whole day like usual, just tell me. I’ll give you two fishes,” Zhang Sen said warmly.

Ning Fei shrugged, looking helpless. He pointed to the drone and said, “Uncle Zhang, I’m doing a livestream, so don’t reveal this to others.”

Zhang Sen glanced at the drone above, but he wasn’t too surprised. Young people these days liked electronic gadgets, and he had spotted several people using them in the village.

The viewers all cracked up with laughter when they heard him.

‘So our webcaster can’t fish? I thought he was an expert.’

‘He didn’t catch a single fish after an entire day? Our host is such an amateur!’

‘Host, you can do it! I’m cheering you on.’

‘I used to dislike watching others fish. I just realized that fishing isn’t the issue, but the person instead. Little brother, you’re so handsome!’

‘Yeah, you’re too good-looking. This scene has satisfied my desire of watching a young man in the olden times.’

Ning Fei was still arranging his fishing equipment. He had no intention of using the special fish bait he had won from the lucky draw. He wanted to test his luck first. He had created this other fish bait himself after several experiments and trials. He had used barley, beans, corn, yeast, and fish protein and made a mixture.

After putting the bait on his hook, he swung the rod violently, and it landed right in the middle of the river before it sank in. Judging from the distance, Ning Fei had thrown the bait at least ten meters away.
