Chapter 16: Chapter 16: The Heartbreak

The pouring rain poured down on the ground like a silver thread, and Qin He only felt a biting chill hit his back in an instant.

It has just been less than a month after the new year, and even if the sun is out, the temperature is only six or seven degrees. When the heavy rain hits, the temperature has entered the cold winter season in an instant, and the whole body feels like it has entered an ice cellar.

Qin He was lying on Lin Yifeng's back. This 14-year-old child was thin and weak. Fortunately, Qin He's body was not heavy. He bowed his waist with difficulty and walked forward.

Swallow saw the heavy rain, and anxiously wanted to find a place to hide from the rain, but there was no one in the vicinity, except for a large area of ​​farmland and small tea trees.

The pain in Qin He's leg just now was drenched by the icy rain, and the pain seemed to be dripping directly on the bones, making his head a little confused. He bit the corner of his mouth, and the rain wet his eyes. It is a relatively large wild tree road.

"Let's go to hide from the rain first!"

Several people rushed to the wild tree. This wild tree was really not big enough for five people to hold, and the dripping rain on it couldn't stop it. It dripped from the neckline and flowed into the chest, making people shudder Shiver!

"Come on, hug me!"

Qin He leaned into the tree trunk as far as he could, hugged Lin Yifeng tightly, and hugged Lin Jun and Lin Qing together, and Yanzi also moved closer.

Qin He was like an old hen, surrounding several children and letting the rain wet his cheeks. Even though he could not block the wind and rain outside the tree, he tried his best to fulfill his responsibility as an elder brother!

Finally, Lin Qing, who was the youngest, couldn't bear it any longer, and began to cry softly. She hugged her schoolbag in her arms, hugged it tightly with her small hands, and hugged Qin He tightly.

Yan Zi and others also felt the corners of their eyes sore. Perhaps they would remember this scene for the rest of their lives. No one could understand the sorrow and helplessness of the poor and could only bear it silently.

Qin He hugged several people to his side more tightly, looking at the heavy rain outside, Qin He looked firmly and honestly.

"You remember everything today. If you want to change your destiny, you will never be able to succeed by relying on others' charity. We must be strong and believe in ourselves. We are poor and have no ability to change the status quo. The only way to change our destiny is to rely on knowledge. You have to study hard, you will be admitted to high school and university in the future, and you will be able to get out of the mountains in the future, and I will be your strongest backing! Do you know!"

Several people were crying, silently remembering this sentence in their hearts!

I don't know how long it took, Qin He felt the pain in his feet coming one after another, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, without saying a word, just looking at the dim sky without saying a word.

The heavy rain lasted for more than an hour before it stopped slowly, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed. The sun seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with the dark clouds, mischievously revealing a big round head.

There was a damp chill in the air, and Qin He felt wet and uncomfortable.

Several people started to go on the road again, but this time, the road was even more difficult. The heavy rain just now made the mountain road quickly become muddy, and when they stepped on it, two centimeters of mud was lifted up.

Seeing how difficult it was for the children to walk, Qin He certainly didn't want Lin Yifeng to carry him on his back anymore, so he could only walk carefully with the help of a cane, and had to rely on the children to support him when he encountered difficulties.

The pain in Qin He's leg completely broke out at this time. This kind of heartbreaking pain made Qin He's brows jump. However, Qin He did not say that he was uncomfortable at all. When the pain reached a deep level, Qin He trembled all over and tears rolled in his eyes. He didn't know if it was the mist or the pain, but Qin He could only feel that the road in front of him was crooked.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Qin He finally heard Yanzi shout in surprise.

"Second brother, we're here. I'll go back and heat the hot water first, and I'll find some clean clothes. You can change them quickly later. Do your feet still hurt?"

Qin He didn't have the strength to answer her anymore, so he tried his best to respond with a difficult smile.

Qin He and the others were covered in mud, especially Lin Yifeng, whose hair was covered in yellow mud. Just now, in order to prevent Qin He from falling, he walked in front. When he encountered a slippery place, he fell first, and then carefully supported Qin He In the past, this journey was not easy.

At this time, the rain was over and the sky was clear, and many people in the village began to come out to pack the things that had just gotten wet. The clothes of Qin He and the others were quickly seen by the villagers, and there was an endless stream of joking voices.

"Oh, Yiqing, you are going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures! It's already past four in the afternoon!"

"Yiqing, you are really incompetent as an elder brother. Look at that kid Lin Yifeng, who is still playing in mud at such an age, and you don't even mention him! Haha!"

Apart from the jokes, most of the villagers were silent, looking like they were watching a good show.

When Qin He was approaching the door of his house, not far away, the sound of a tractor came. Qin He stopped and slowly saw the tractor approaching.

It was the tractor that I had agreed with.

The tractor also saw Qin He's family from a distance, and slowly stopped in front of them. Seeing the smiling face of the driver, Master Hu, Qin He felt disgusted and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Oh, Yiqing, why did you come home so late? I didn't see you at the school gate until ten o'clock. I thought you left first, so I came back. I didn't expect you to be behind! Sorry ah!"

The driver, Master Hu, had a smile on his face. Qin He didn't have any mood swings in his explanation, but the children behind couldn't help it. Just as he was about to refute, Qin He interrupted him.

"Don't go back to take a shower, do you want to catch a cold? Go back!"

"Master Hu, it's okay. Thank you for taking us to school today. I'm going to take a shower first. I'm getting wet. I won't accompany you for now!"

Qin He didn't wait for the other party to speak and drove the children home.

The other party smiled without explaining, started the tractor and drove out.

As soon as he got home, Qin He saw a few sad little faces.

The pain made Qin He tremble all over. He threw away the crutches with difficulty and sat on the wooden chair with difficulty. The pain hit him in waves, making him gnash his teeth. Looking at the bitter faces, Qin He said slowly.

"Do you think Master Hu is lying, so we should refute him?"

Lin Jun was overwhelmed with anger at first, and said angrily.

"He's just telling lies. He left at 09:30, why did he say he was waiting for us at ten o'clock? We were standing at the school gate at ten o'clock!"

The other children also nodded, angry!
Qin He wiped the water on his face, it was the product of rain and sweat, and there was a hint of salt on the tip of his tongue.

"Do you still remember what I said before under the tree? You have to remember that in this world, there is no charity for no reason. Today, Master Hu promised to take us home. He can agree or not. The choice is his. hands, understand?"

Seeing the ignorant looks of a few children, Qin He continued.

"The tractor belongs to him. He agreed to take us home. It was kind of him, but he didn't agree, and there was nothing wrong with it, understand? His only fault was lying to us, but even if he lied, we can't blame him. Do you understand? Because he doesn’t owe us anything, it’s us who ask him, not what he needs to do for us!”

Perhaps what Qin He said was too profound. Among the children, only Yanzi was busy in the kitchen next door. The other children still looked like they didn't understand.

Qin He shook his head helplessly, and continued.

"You must remember one thing, it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. If you want others to respect you, you must first make yourself a respected person!"

"We were born in this kind of family. First of all, we don't get respect from others. If we want to change our current situation, we have to find a way. We have no power, no power, no money and no conditions. How can we change our destiny?"

Qin He looked at the children and said to Lin Yifeng.

"Xiaofeng, tell me, for a family like ours, if we want others to respect us, how can we change it?"

Lin Yifeng touched his head, vaguely seemed to understand something, not sure exactly.

"Admitted to college?"
