When the late autumn wind blows through the sycamore trees with a vicissitudes of life, the leaves of the sycamore trees spinning in the air slowly float down.

The blue bricks and the yellow adobe formed a simple house. On the left side of the elm door, there was a wooden frame, and the two wheels of the wooden car were leaning against the blue bricks.

In the slightly cold courtyard, Lin Dongtou sat on a wooden bench, holding a book of college entrance examination review materials in both hands. The leaves of the sycamore trees rustled, and Lin Dong was not affected by the noise at all. He did not even find a leaf falling on the wooden table...

Lin Dong is a senior high school student preparing for the college entrance examination. His dark and deep eyes add a bit of maturity to him. He sat there, making people feel that everything in this world is still.

A young man walked out of the adobe house. He picked up a bamboo pole with a fishing line from the corner of the wall...

"Brother, it's still several months away from the college entrance examination! Xueer asked me to ask you if you have time to go fishing with her!" The boy walked to the other side of the wooden table and sat slanted across from Lin Dong.

"What?" Lin Dong raised his head and put down the review materials in his hand. Then he picked up a pen from the wooden table and prepared to do a comprehensive set of science questions.

"Brother, have you heard me talking?" The young man stretched out his hand and grabbed the pen from Lin Dong's hand.

Lin Dong hurriedly stood up, lifted his sweatpants upwards, and then asked, "Qianzi, what's wrong?"

Lin Qiang stuffed the bamboo pole into Lin Dong's hand and whispered: "Xue'er is squatting outside the wall! Waiting for you to go fishing!"

Fishing? In the twelfth lunar month of late autumn, the college entrance examination is the few months after the Chinese New Year. How could I go fishing? Lin Dong rubbed his head and gently placed the bamboo pole on the ground. Lin Dong turned around and sat on the stool, took out another pen from the pencil case...

At this time, a girl with a ponytail was squatting outside the earth wall. The girl was named Wang Xueer, who was Lin Dong's childhood sweetheart. An excellent and calm boy like Lin Dong was the prince charming that countless girls who had dreamed of. Wang Xueer was naturally one of the countless girls who had been dreaming of.

Lin Dong, who had just entered his youth, made a mistake, that is, early love! So Wang Xueer was very lucky!

"Qianzi, what are you doing? How can you disturb your brother's study?" Wang Xueer trotted to Lin Dong's table, and her pretty face was a little angry.

Looking at Wang Xueer's angry look, Lin Dong smiled slightly and echoed: "Look at how sensible Xueer is! You must be the one who is tempted to play, so you lied to me that Xueer wanted to go fishing! Your grades are so poor, so you still don't study hard!"

Wang Xueer and Lin Qiang are both second-year students. Wang Xueer has good grades and ranks in the top ten. But Lin Qiang is a bit bad, just a middle-aged student in the class.

Lin Qiang curled his lips and glanced at Wang Xueer with some anger.

Wang Xueer smiled and sat upright beside Lin Dong. She picked up a book from the table and held it in her hand. Her beautiful eyes were crescent-shaped, staring at Lin Dong quite peacefully.

………

After the sunset disappeared, several hens at home refused to enter the nest. Lin Dong had no choice but to ask Wang Xueer and Lin Qiang to help catch the chicken. A cool breeze mixed with moist air came over, and Lin Dong had a cold war.

"Xiaodong, Xiaoqiang..." A panic sound came from outside the wall full of frog sounds.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged woman with dirty bodies ran into the hospital. Her hair was messy and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Aunt Qi, what happened?" Lin Dong threw the hen in his hand to the ground and asked immediately.

"It's a sin! God is really blind!" Aunt Qi's voice trembled. She ran to Lin Dong and Lin Qiang, but she didn't stand firm. If Lin Dong hadn't hurriedly supported her, she would probably have fallen to the ground.

"Xiaodong, your three-wheeler has been overturned in Lijiagang. All the people are gone, all are gone! Xue'er's mother is also in the car..."

Aunt Qi's words echoed in Lin Dong's mind. Lin Dong felt that he could not understand this sentence, perhaps because he was unwilling to understand it.

The temperature seemed to drop suddenly ten degrees. Lin Dong felt very cold and his legs were trembling.

Aunt Qi's cry awakened Lin Dong.

Lin Dong ran very fast, and one of his shoes was also left behind by him. Lin Dong wore black cloth shoes on one foot, while the other foot was directly on the uneven dirt road.

Lin Dong’s three-wheeled family is a small agricultural truck. In recent years, Lin Dong’s parents have made some money by relying on brick kilns to help people pull bricks. Lin Dong and Lin Qiang spend a lot of money to go to school, so Lin Dong’s parents are desperately taking the job!

Wang Xueer has never seen her father! When Wang Xueer was still fertile, her mother came to the village with her big belly. Forced to make a living, Wang Xueer's mother sells fruits and vegetables at the market. When night falls, Wang Xueer's mother will wait for Lin Dong's parents at the market so that she can take a three-wheeled (small truck) home.

Night had already fallen, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. When lightning spread across the sky like branch branches, Lin Dong had already run to Lijiagang. With the light of lightning, Lin Dong saw the scene in front of him clearly. Under the soil slope, the familiar three-wheeled farming wheel was already in ruins. On the slope, dozens of people surrounded a wide open space.

Seeing Lin Dong coming, everyone retreated one after another to make way for Lin Dong.

Lin Dong threw himself beside the corpse, and his trembling hands finally touched his parents' blood-stained cheeks. Wen, Lin Dong knew that this was the last time to feel the warmth of his parents.

"Before we put your parents out, your parents are gone..."

"At that time, Xue'er's mother was already dying. She said just one sentence and went..."

Lin Dong raised his head and refused to let himself cry. But the raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky and hit his pretty face.

"She said: Please Xiaodong take care of Xueer..."

Lin Dong knelt down and walked to Xueer's mother's side, leaned down, and whispered in her ear: "I will take care of her for the rest of her life!" After that, Lin Dong stretched out his hand and gently stroked Xueer's mother's eyes that were wide open.

Lin Qiang and Wang Xueer passed through the crowd, rushed to the ground, and cried loudly. At this time, it was raining heavily, and everyone stood in the rain. When they saw the three people lying on the ground, their hearts were broken!

Falling water, tears of the sky!

God, are you not eyebrow? Are you blind? You still have the face to cry if you take away the relatives of these three children! God who is indifferent will cry?

Lin Dong's home is in Liutun, also known as Liucun. Lijiagang is a must-pass place for people in Liucun to go to the market, and people from the two villages are quite familiar with them.

Many people came to Liu Village. They stood behind the people of Lijiagang and looked at the three children in the village sadly.

"Child, we're here to pick you up. Can you find your way home?" The oldest man in the village was leaning on a crutch. Although the rain washed away his tears, it could not cover up his red eyes.

Lin Dong nodded.

"As long as there is one person in Liutun, you will have a home! We are relatives!" The village chief stepped forward, his lips trembling a little.

The people in Liu Village wanted to help transport the body back, but Lin Dong refused.

Lin Dong, who was thin, carried his father's body on his body and staggered forward. Lin Qiang and Wang Xueer also carried his mother's body on his body. The muddy road had already made it difficult for the three of them to walk, let alone they were carrying the sky!

Their heaven fell and they could never stand up again!

The dark night, the majestic rain, the muddy road, the ruthless sky, the sentimental people!

Arcs of light cross the sky, illuminating the earth under the rain curtain. On the ground covered with rain and mist, a small path extends from Lijiagang to Liucun.

Looking at Lin Dong, Lin Qiang and Wang Xueer's thin body, everyone in the village had a sore nose. The dripping rain hit their faces, covering their tears. Lin Dong, Lin Qiang, and Wang Xueer were walking in the front, and behind them were dozens of people from Liu Village.

No one used a flashlight to shine the way for Lin Dong, Lin Qiang and Wang Xue. The only one who could shine the way for them was themselves!

Many people in Lijiagang stood at the intersection and saw them off with their eyes.

According to the customs of Liu Village, the deceased will be buried in a coffin three days later.

Dozens of young people in the village carried three coffins weighing thousands of pounds to the village overnight. The funds used to buy coffins were raised by the villagers. Lin Dong's family did not store money, but instead had an account book, which contained the debts owed to others. Lin Dong quietly put the account book away and stored it in his small wooden box. The father paid the debts and the son paid back, and Lin Dong would pay back the money owed to others.

After the first seven, Lin Dong directly sent Lin Qiang and Wang Xueer to school and then returned home.

Lin Dong stood in the earthen wall courtyard, a little lost. Is this still his own home? It’s desolate and deserted, everything that happened to be like a different world.

When they learned that Lin Dong had returned home, the villagers rushed over.

"Xiaodong, go to school! All of you three will bear the living expenses for the future tuition and living expenses!" A tall and thin middle-aged man walked to Lin Dong and patted Lin Dong on the shoulder.

"Yes, Xiaodong, your studies cannot be abandoned!" The elder in the village pointed the ground with a crutch and said earnestly.

Everyone agreed, and some even suggested donating money in public.

Lin Dong's nose was a little sour, his eyes were wet and red. Looking at the simple, black and thin faces, a warm feeling lingered in his heart. Everyone is from rural areas, and earning some money can barely support his family. No matter how much he loves studying, he cannot cut off everyone's food! Withdrawing from school to work and earning money to support Lin Qiang and Wang Xueer's study is Lin Dong's most at ease choice!

"Thank you uncles and aunts, I owe you too much! Lin Qiang and I must have one who drops out of school to work..."

"Then let Lin Qiang work to provide you and Xueer's school!" the old man said angrily. Everyone knows that Lin Dong is a good seedling, a top student who can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, so everyone thinks that Lin Dong can't waste his studies.

"Xiaoqiang is still a child!" Lin Dong took a deep breath and sighed.

The old man paused slightly, and then tears flowed all over his body, and he cried and said, "Baby, you are a child too!"

Lin Dong has just turned 16 years old, one and a half years stronger than Lin.

"I'm already seventeen years old, I'm a brother! It's the pillar of this family!" As he spoke, Lin Dong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands.

"Baby, we will raise money for you, you can study hard!" The old man took out a cloth bag from his body and took out a few worn paper money.

Lin Dong hurriedly took a step back, found a stool, and stood on it.

"Uncles and aunts, everyone has never been to school. Haven't they all lived well? I, Lin Dong, never thought of making a name for myself. I can't use your money to support my family, otherwise I, Lin Dong, will never be at ease in my life!" Lin Dong's face was covered with tears, and he said, "I never thought of making a name for myself." He himself didn't believe it.

At this moment, the bench under Lin Dong's feet made a clicking sound, and it immediately fell apart. Lin Dong's body slanted and fell down.
