On the back mountain of a small mountain village, two children were using their thin hands to dig the soil bit by bit under the heavy rain. The tears on their faces mixed with the rain and dripped onto their hands that were covered in soil.
" Brother, I'm so hungry... I can't dig anymore. My hand hurts..." the younger girl said.
"Then go to your parents 'place to rest. When I'm done digging, I'll take you to eat.”Although the older brother was exhausted, he still kept digging.
The younger sister slowly stood up, turned around, and walked to a tree. Two lifeless people were lying quietly under the tree, covered with a tattered straw mat.
" Dad, Mom, Brother's hand is bleeding. Can you wake up..." The younger sister sat beside the corpse and sobbed.
The siblings had not rested for a day and a night, nor had they eaten anything. The burglar had taken away all the valuable things in the poor family, including all the food. Before he left, he kicked the parents of the siblings to the ground. However, in such a remote mountain village, it was useless to call the police.
The younger sister's eyes gradually drooped and she fell asleep against the tree that sheltered her from the rain. Her body was tilted, and her tears were still flowing down her face. They fell on her mother's eyes and then slid down from the corner of her closed eyes. The tear reflected the boy who was digging alone in the rain. It was as if the mother was crying in regret and hated herself for abandoning her child.
After an unknown period of time, the rain gradually lessened, and the pit the boy dug became bigger and bigger. It was already big enough to put two bodies in.
The boy dragged his tired body to sit beside his sister. His bloodshot eyes stared at his unkempt sister, then at his parents. He reached out and pulled the straw mat up to cover his parents 'faces, preventing the rain from hitting their faces.
The rain soon stopped. The dark clouds dispersed, and the warm sunlight directly spread on the ground.
The boy stood up again with the help of the tree. He walked to the side of the pit and took off his wet clothes. He grabbed his sleeves and put them into the pit that was filled with rainwater. He suddenly picked up his clothes and scooped up the water from the pit.
When the water in the pit was almost full, the boy turned around and dragged his parents into the pit. He covered them with the tattered straw mat and then used his hands to fill the pit with soil.
After kneeling and bowing to his parents 'graves, the boy gently carried his sleeping sister and walked down the mountain.
After returning to their shabby home, the boy placed his sister on the creaking bed. He then took out the last piece of cold medicine that was about to expire from the cabinet and carefully stuffed it into his sister's mouth.
"Feng Lu!"
Feng Lu's entire body trembled. He immediately turned around to look at the door. Suddenly, someone called his name, making him think that there were bad people coming again.
"Lower your voice."
A child about the same age as Feng Lu walked in. Behind him was an auntie, a friend of his mother's. She was carrying a basket of eggs and various food.
"Child, come and eat something.”The auntie placed the things on the table and took out a flatbread from the bag. She walked to Feng Lu and handed it to him.
Feng Lu took the flatbread, but he only held it in his hand and looked at it.
"Feng Lu, you eat it. It's okay. There's more.”The child came up and said.
"Thank you."
Feng Lu thanked them and took small bites of the flatbread.
"Child, I know that it's very sad for your family to leave, but you two siblings still have to continue living. You must cheer up.”As she spoke, the auntie took out a pile of money from her pocket and placed it on the bed.
"We can't take Auntie's money. Mom told us not to take other people's money before.”Feng Lu quickly took the money and handed it back to the auntie.
"Take it. This is the school money and living expenses that the entire village will give you. You're only ten years old, and Qingqing is only eight. You still have to go to school. If you need anything, let us know. We'll definitely help you if we can.”The auntie pushed the money back.
" Thank you..." Feng Lu got off the bed and bowed deeply to the auntie.
"It's a pity that the Meteor Villa Orphanage in the city was destroyed by fire. Otherwise, I could have sent you guys inside. Sigh, you guys have a good rest. I'll be leaving first.”After that, the auntie left with the child.
The sunlight shone on Feng Qingqing's face through the paper window. Feng Lu sat at the head of the bed with dozens of banknotes in his hand. He looked at Feng Qingqing and wiped the mud off her face.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'll take good care of my sister…"
When the school bell rang, the students lined up and walked out of the school gate. The parents had been waiting at the door for a long time. After picking up their children, they went home happily.
"Big brother!"
"Hey!"
Feng Qingqing threw herself into Feng Lu's arms.
"Did you study hard? Wasn't it scary to live on campus for the first week of junior high school?”Feng Lu squatted down and carried Feng Qingqing on his back, just like when he was young.
"I won't be afraid! Of course I listened to the class. Where's my brother? Is work tiring?" Feng Qingqing leaned against Feng Lu's head and asked.
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired!"
"Hey! Brother, why is there a pattern on your back?”Feng Qingqing suddenly shouted.
"That's a tattoo. I was paid to let the apprentices practice on my back.”Feng Lu explained.
"Big brother!"
"Hey! What's wrong?" Feng Lu turned his head and asked.
"I want candy!" Feng Qingqing leaned on Feng Lu's back and pointed at the vendor selling candied haws by the roadside.
"Alright! I'll buy it for you!"
Feng Lu carried Feng Qingqing on his back and squeezed his way to the front of the hawker. He was surrounded by students who had just finished school.
"Boss, how much is a stick of Tanghulu?”Feng Lu asked.
"50 cents a skewer." The peddler said.
"So expensive!" After hearing the price, Feng Qingqing immediately leaned back." Brother, forget it. I don't want it."”
"It's okay, it's okay. If you want to eat, just buy it.”Feng Lu took out a wad of crumpled money from his pocket. After counting it several times, he took out five ten-cent notes and handed them to the peddler." Please give me a bunch."”
The peddler took the money and took a skewer from the straw target and handed it to Feng Lu.
"Thank you." He handed the candied fruit to Feng Qingqing, who was on his back, and turned around to walk home.
Feng Lu had stopped studying after primary school. He had gone to work in town to support his family at a young age. Now that he was sixteen, he had saved a lot of money. In order to make it easier for Feng Qingqing to go to school, he rented a single room in town. Although the room was not big, it had a bathroom and a place to cook. The rent was very low and cost-effective. Even though he was now living in town, Feng Lu would still go back to the village from time to time to visit the villagers who had helped him. He would bring some things back.
After returning home, Feng Qingqing jumped off Feng Lu's back and lay down on the bed that took up half the room with the candied fruit in her mouth.
"Don't be in a hurry to rest. Do your homework first.”Feng Lu put down his bag.
"I don't want to!" Feng Qingqing immediately sat up and said to Feng Lu,"Brother, have you forgotten what day it is today?”
"How could I forget?" As Feng Lu spoke, he took out a black plastic bag, grabbed the contents, and tore the plastic bag off." Dang dang dang!”
"Wow! The cake this time is so big!" Feng Qingqing jumped off the bed happily." Eat the cake, eat the cake!"”
"Go do your homework after eating the cake.”
"Yes, yes."
Feng Lu placed the cake on the small table and lit the small candles on the cake.
"Alright, make a wish."
"I wish! Brother can make a lot of money! I can study hard! Brother and I will always be healthy! We're getting happier and happier!" Feng Qingqing then blew out the candle.
"Brother?" Feng Qingqing looked curiously at the dazed Feng Lu.
"Big brother!"
"Hey!"
"Time to eat the cake!"
"Good!"
In the blink of an eye, another six years had passed. Feng Lu started a small company and his career was booming. Feng Qingqing also studied hard and had been working hard towards the goal of studying in Japan. Finally, today, her efforts were rewarded.
"Our project…I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I have something to do, so I have to take this call!"
The phone suddenly rang. Feng Lu, who was in a meeting, apologized to the people in the conference room, turned around, and walked out of the conference room to answer the phone.
"Hey! What happened to Qingqing?"
"Brother! Guess where I'm going to university?!”On the other end of the phone, Feng Qingqing was very excited.
"Tokyo University?" Feng Lu's tone was very doting. Although his sister could not see his expression, he still smiled gently and was happy for his sister.
"I want to go to such a good university, but they won't accept me. It's Osaka University! Brother! I can study in Japan!"
"I knew Qingqing could do it. When are you going?”
"Maybe in the next two days. I've already prepared everything I need!”
"Oh, oh…"
"What's wrong, brother? You sound like you're very disappointed?"
"No, no, I'm in a meeting.”
"Then go to the meeting. Treat me to a good meal tonight! Let's celebrate!"
"Okay, then I'll go to the meeting first."
"Yes, yes."
Time seemed to pass very quickly. It was almost time for Feng Qingqing to go to Japan. Feng Lu followed her to the airport to send him off.
"What's wrong, brother?" Feng Qingqing asked.
"Nothing, nothing. I'm just thinking about work.”Feng Lu smiled.
"It won't be for a few years. I'll be back soon.”Feng Qingqing could tell that he was reluctant to leave. She walked up and hugged him." Brother, you have to work hard. When I come back, brother will open a big company!”
"Okay, you have to be careful when you're alone in Japan. If you run out of money, tell me.”Feng Lu patted her back.
"Yes, yes!" At this moment, the airport's broadcast sounded. Feng Qingqing's flight was about to board." I'm about to board. I'll be leaving first!"”
"Be careful on the road!"
"Yes, yes! Brother, take care of your health!"
"Good!"
Feng Lu stood in place and stared at Feng Qingqing's back, waving his hands non-stop.
Time flew by, and Feng Lu's Manhua Corporation gradually established a firm foundation in Qi Jin City. Now, they were preparing to discuss a partnership with the Wang Tian Corporation.
"Boss, we're almost there." the driver said.
"Yes."
Feng Lu answered casually. He was looking at the transfer record for Feng Qingqing. The first two years when Feng Qingqing went to Japan were fine. She never took the initiative to ask for money from him. The two of them often called each other. However, one day, Feng Qingqing told her that she had found a Japanese boyfriend. From then on, her expenses had increased, and she no longer called her. Occasionally, she would call her in an annoying tone, but she would be back in a few days. He would have a good chat with her then.
"The boss is here."
Feng Lu got out of the car and was guided to a private room by the staff. Wang Tianhao and Wang Tianjie had been waiting for a long time.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Feng Lu bowed deeply. Wang Tianjie squinted his eyes and saw the pattern on his back.
"We just arrived. CEO Feng is really young and promising. He has built such a big company at such a young age.”Wang Tianhao admired this young man very much.
"You flatter me."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone sat down and began to discuss the investment.
It had been a month since Feng Qingqing returned from Japan. In a tunnel on the ring road of Qi Jin City, a smoking Mercedes-Benz stopped by the wall. The oil in the fuel tank leaked all over the ground.
The four strong men each held a bucket of oil. One stood on the roof of the Mercedes-Benz and poured oil all over the car. The other three poured oil all over the road around the Mercedes-Benz.
Feng Qingqing slowly walked to Feng Lu, who was lying on the ground. Blood flowed around him.
"I'm sorry, brother. For my happiness, I can only sacrifice you.”Feng Qingqing looked at Feng Lu, whose face was covered in blood, and smiled evilly.
"You guys go first. Leave the rest to me.”his grandson said as he walked forward.
"Brother, goodbye." Feng Qingqing touched Feng Lu's face and left with the four men.
After confirming that they had left, his grandson picked Feng Lu up and threw him to the side of the Mercedes-Benz. He grabbed Feng Lu's neck and pressed him against the car door. Then, a monster fell from the top of the tunnel and slowly approached Feng Lu. Suddenly! The monster stuck out its long tongue into Feng Lu's mouth, and the small short needle on the long tongue pierced into Feng Lu's tongue.
Feng Lu lost control of his body, and his mouth moved on its own. After saying all his assets and passwords, the monster retracted its long tongue and disappeared in an instant.
His grandson let go and walked straight to the tunnel exit.
“さようなら。”
A lighter fell from the sky onto the Mercedes-Benz and instantly ignited a raging fire. The entire tunnel was illuminated by the flames.
