wolf eats "yang"
"Mom, what year is next year?" The ten-year-old Xiaobao asked me feebly while lying on the bed, with a hoarse throat. Xiaobao has been having a fever for the past two days. The fever has just gone away today and he is still coughing a little.
"Baby, next year it will be the Year of the Rabbit , little rabbit, be good..." I made a cute gesture to show my cuteness to Xiaobao.
"Next year should be the Year of the Wolf!" Xiaobao said thoughtfully.
"What?! Year of the Wolf? Do you have a fever again? My child, every year is sorted according to the twelve zodiac signs, and there is no wolf in the twelve zodiac signs, so there is no Year of the Wolf, do you understand?" I patiently explained to Xiaobao, while touching Xiaobao's forehead uneasily, I felt that there was no fever.
"I say it's the Year of the Wolf, it's the Year of the Wolf!" Xiaobao said stubbornly, pouting his little mouth out.
"Okay, okay, okay, if the baby says it's the Year of the Wolf, it's the Year of the Wolf. But, can you tell me why next year is the Year of the Wolf?" If the baby is happy, let her say it for now. In the past, adults didn't like children telling lies like " is coming, is coming". I have to figure out how she came up with such a strange idea.
"Because wolves eat sheep. If it is the year of the wolf, the "yang" will not dare to come when it hears the wolf. Even if it dares to come, the wolf will kill them all! In this way, there will be no "yang" in the world, and we humans will be safe." Xiaobao said happily.
"Hey, that's a good idea! Thumbs up." I know that the baby imagined the "yang" of the new coronavirus as a sheep. Although children's ideas are not realistic, they are full of longing for a better life in the future.
"The wolf eats the sheep, the wolf eats the yang, the lamb is so scared that it has nowhere to hide, and the wolf eats up all the poisonous yang! Hahaha..." Xiaobao and I started to play.
